Eating revolution BONBEACH Primary School had a huge cook off to celebrate Food Revolution Day last month. About 300 pupils rolled up their sleeves and joined in the largest cooking class the community has seen. They chopped up fresh vegetables and herbs from the school garden, and created a mouth-watering and healthy pasta salad. “The aim of the cooking class was to inspire our kids and show them how tasty fresh food is, and how much fun it is to cook and eat healthy,” health and wellness coach Maddie Race said. Principal Ken Jones and his teaching group were right behind Food Revolution Day, and the school was excited to participate. Ms Race said the day carried a message about a global health crisis. “An astounding 41 million children under five are overweight, while another 159 million are too undernourished to grow properly,” she said. “We’re failing both our children and future generations by not empowering them with the right food and skills they need to grow healthily and happily.”

Scientists target election Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au CLIMATE change scientists are campaigning to save their jobs in the lead-up to the 2 July federal election in the wake of up to 32 redundancies at the CSIRO’s research centre in Aspendale. CSIRO Staff Association president Dr Michael Borgas says “quite a few people have been told they’re surplus to requirements” amid a restructure
of the science body’s operations nationwide. Scientists and research staff are handing out flyers to Isaacs residents as part of a Community and Public Sector Union campaign urging voters to “put the Liberals last”. “A possible change of government would save the jobs,” Mr Borgas said. Federal Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus, who holds the seat with a 3.9 per cent majority, said scientists around the world rely on data from

the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Centre in Aspendale to track the effects of climate change in the southern hemisphere. “The Turnbull government’s cuts to the CSIRO look set to force this centre to close,” he said. “The closure of this site, no doubt to lead to its sale for development, would be a disaster for Aspendale and for Australian science. “Labor is 100 per cent opposed to these cuts to the CSIRO and Mr Turnbull’s planned closure of the As-
pendale centre.” Mr Borgas said the monitoring of an ice core from Antarctica, to track climate change, at the Aspendale laboratories is “being maintained at a lower capacity”. “They were initially going to sack everybody ... but there are still people being made redundant on the basis they’re working on that [the ice core].” The air quality scientist said he could personally lose his job but his role as a union official means he is

focused on helping his colleagues deal with redundancy. “Myself and others that have been active are on the redundancy list and we’ll see what we do about that in due course,” Mr Borgas said. CSIRO spokesman Huw Morgan said no decision has been made to close the Aspendale research centre in the short term but this will happen eventually due to ageing buildings. “There has always been a plan to consolidate the Aspendale site and all our sites in Melbourne to Clayton.”

Police patrol Fined over weapons cache AN Edithvale man was fined $3500 in Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court last week after pleading guilty to possessing ammunition, prohibited weapons, explosives, Category A firearm, and possessing cannabis. The man, 52, had allegedly told police the weapons – which included railway explosives, hand grenade, ammunition, nun chucks, rifles, crossbow, flick knives, cattle prods, spear gun, ninja stars and various swords – were for self-defence against a neighbour. The sheet metal worker, of Keith Av, collected the weapons over the years from garage sales and family members. His barrister said most of the weapons did not work and denied his client was planning to use them against his neighbour. Police two days earlier had attended the address to settle a dispute after a neighbour allegedly attacked his home with a baseball bat, smashing windows. Caulfield District Response Unit detectives arrested three people after a firearms warrant was executed at the house, Tuesday. A 50-year-old Edithvale woman was charged with possessing and using cannabis and bailed to appear at Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court, 29 July. The court ordered that the weapons be destroyed. South East Metro Liberal MP Inga Peulich said the raid was “a great concern and part of a growing crime trend”. “It is worrying when such a weapons haul is found in your own community,” Ms Peulich said. “Crime in Kingston is up an alarming 17.7 per cent since the state government came to power, thanks to Labor’s soft-on-crime approach, soft sentencing and police cuts. Premier Andrews needs to take immediate action.” The statistics also reveal that weapons offences in Kingston have jumped 10.9 per cent in the same period, the MP said. “By comparison, Kingston’s crime rate fell by 0.04 per cent in 2014 under the Coalition. “The police are doing their best but need more resources and appropriate sentencing,” Ms Peulich said. Victoria’s full crime statistics can be found at crimestatistics.vic.gov.au
Burglar strikes out

A BURGLAR unsuccessfully tried to steal from a tyre retailer in Nepean Hwy, Parkdale, 6.25am, Thursday
2 June. Nothing was stolen. CCTV images show the man rifling through drawers. The same man may have also attempted to rob a cafe in nearby Carrier Av. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Senior Constable Steven Cornwill or OIC Kingston CIU 9556 6111.
Man punched, keys demanded A 68-YEAR-OLD man was punched from behind after returning to his car in Bay St, Mordialloc, after taking his dog to the beach, 5.45pm, Saturday 4 June. He told Mordialloc police his attacker, of African appearance, 183cm tall, sold build with an Australian accent, then demanded his car keys. The man tried to defend himself but was struck three or four times by a second man of African appearance who also demanded his keys. The man fell to the ground and the offenders rummaged through his car’s glove box before jumping into a third man’s car – who police said was acting as look-out – and driving off south along Beach Rd. The victim was taken to Sandringham hospital with a suspected broken nose. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
Golf courses hit
TWO Kingston golf courses were targeted by thieves last weekend. In the first raid, at Woodlands, Mordialloc, offenders smashed a window to the ladies committee room to gain entry, overnight Friday 3 June. They then used a golf club to jemmy open the door to the buggy room where members keep their golf clubs, but it appears nothing was stolen. In the second raid, at Spring Park, Dingley, a man cut a wire fence and jemmied out a glass panel to the pro shop, 4am, Saturday 4 June. The man ransacked the shop and till and then attempted – unsuccessfully – to smash an internal door leading to the safe. Nothing was stolen. CCTV footage shows the man wearing a spray jacket, hoodie and gloves. He was carrying a jemmy bar, torch and bag. This is the second burglary at the pro shop in two weeks.

Splashing out for safety WATER awareness was the focus for Parkdale Preschool children during lessons at Toby Haenen Swim Centre this week. The Dolphins and Sea Stars groups played games while learning lifesaving swimming techniques for more than an hour. Preschool director Megan Miller said it was a fun way for four-yearolds to learn about the importance of water safety. “The children were able to have a positive experience in the pool and share their skills with their classmates and teachers,” Ms Miller said. “It was also a good opportunity for those children who were not as confident in the water to have their kinder friends around to help them feel more secure. “The preschoolers gained a sense of achievement by having a go in a challenging and unfamiliar learning environment.” Parkdale Preschool is a community-minded non-profit kindergarten run by a parent-led committee. In the swim: Grace, 4, makes her way across the pool, above, while Parkdale Preschool’s Christian, left, Stanley and James prepare to take the plunge.

Dolphin injury prompts warning A YOUNG, injured dolphin in Port Phillip has highlighted concern that boat users are flouting the law and getting too close to wildlife in the bay. The dolphin, less than one-year-old, was spotted about two weeks after it had lost part of its tail, probably from a boat strike. Department of Environment, Land and Water and Planning compliance officer Katie Knight said the dolphin was lucky not to have been fatally wounded. “These type of strikes are often fatal or severely debilitating and while it is great to see a marine mammal in its natural environment, a big lesson here is to be aware of and adhere to the rules and regulations that protect our precious wildlife,” she said.
callucci
Recreational boats must remain 100m away from dolphins and 200m from whales, except if approached. High impact vessels like jet skis must stay 300m away from whales and dolphins. Ms Knight said people who came across dolphins, whales or seals should reduce their speed to five knots or less, and avoid the animal. “We are concerned about this dolphin’s welfare and urge anyone that sights it to take a photo – from a safe distance - with location details and post it to the DELWP Port Phillip Facebook page facebook.com/DELWPPortPhillip,” Ms Knight said. A new sign highlighting the regulations was erected at Tyrone Boat ramp late last year. For more information, visit delwp.vic.gov.au or call 136 186.

Christians show no regret for their trespass Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au Seven protesters arrested during an eight-hour sit-in at the office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt have been let off without penalty. Appearing at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (31 May) after singing hymns and saying prayers in a small park behind Frankston police station, the group chose to have their say in court rather than accepting a “diversion” – something below the scale of a good behaviour bond. One of the seven, Baptist minister Simon Reeves, was not offered a diversion because of three previous court appearances for the same charge of trespass. He had no convictions or criminal record but had previously faced courts after protesting against Australia’s military involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq. His six co-defendants held a quick meeting inside the foyer of the Frankston court and decided that “we did the action together and we’ll stick together”. The six, although admitting their trespass, were not fined and had no criminal conviction recorded. Mr Reeves refused the offer of a good behaviour bond and was fined $500. Their court appearance also enabled each of the group – mainly volunteers youth workers and members of the Love Makes A Way movement – to make a short statement condemning and calling for an end to Australia’s treatment of refugees and asylum seekers.

Led by Mount Eliza Uniting Church minister the Rev Cameron McAdam, all members of the group admitted to magistrate Dominic Lennon that they refused to leave Mr Hunt’s office on 6 May last year. The seven were among about 20 people occupying the MP’s Hastings office demanding an end to refugee and asylum seeker children being held in Australia’s offshore detention centres. Although Mr Hunt was absent during their occupation of his office they spoke with him several times over the phone but decided to stay when he could not give them the guarantees they wanted. Police eventually took over and led the protesters out of the office and later charged the seven: the Rev McAdam, Mr Reeves, husband and wife

Picture: Cameron McCullough Mr Hunt and his office have been a regular target of protests in the past few years, many connected with his job as Environment Minister. Some protests have been colourful, with activists dressed as marine animals calling for greater action to save the Great Barrier Reef. One involved women dressed as angels clambering onto the office roof, an action apparently not appreciated by Mr Hunt or his staff, although some observers felt having angels above their workplace could be a good thing.
Another demonstration involving a bag of coal being carried into the office saw Mr Hunt allege his staff had been frightened and intimidated. Something that was quickly denied by the men who delivered the coal. No charges were laid. And in one of the most recent events, police – federal and state – frisked a delegation of 15 grandmothers before they were allowed to meet with Mr Hunt. Mr Hunt later wrote a letter to this newspaper saying he had not called for the police action. On Tuesday, none of the seven said they regretted their decision to occupy Mr Hunt’s office and would keep trying to persuade politicians of all parties to close the offshore detention centres. They were heartened that the numbers of incarcerated children, refugees
and asylum seekers had dropped since they first began protesting and reiterated that trespassing was “an act of last resort”. The series of similar protests throughout Australia organised by Loves Makes A Way have seen the arrest of 174 Christian leaders. The Rev McAdam told the gathering before the court hearing and repeated to the magistrate, that he could not “look my own four-year-old child in the eye” if he did not protest at the actions of the federal government. And, although Tuesday’s court proceedings offered a guaranteed photo opportunity in the middle of a recordlength federal election campaign, there was not a politician in sight.
Seven explain reasons for sit-in decision

THE seven protesters who were arrested and charged with trespassing after refusing to leave the Hastings office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt all say they were frustrated by the refusal of governments to be more compassionate in their treatment of refugees and asylum seekers. The sequel to their protest played out in Frankston Magistrates Court last week, more than a year later. Despite prosecutors offering six of them the chance to avoid a court appearance, they elected to appear as charged and read out statements to explain their decision to deliberately flout the law. Here are some edited extracts: Cameron McAdam, minister, Uniting Church, Mt Eliza: On many occasions, my letters to MPs have received a reply that does not even address the issues raised and simply provides pat party lines. In April last year I read about a five-yearold Iranian girl, temporarily in Darwin because of her father’s health, who suffering from PTSD, had attempted suicide under fear of being returned to Nauru. Much of my ministry life has been spent caring for children such as these. My own boy at the time was four. My faith calls me to care for the vulnerable and I could not look my own children in the eye in years to come and say I did nothing to help these vulnerable people supposedly in our nations care. I knew the action we took, alongside similar actions taken by hundreds of other church leaders around the country, bi-partisan actions, would be peaceful and non-violent and that we would treat everyone we encountered with respect, and yet be clear of our message to Greg Hunt and the wider political community that locking up these children is wrong. Timothy Johnson: I have been very
privileged to experience the freedom, opportunity and safety that Australia provides. As such, I feel that I have a responsibility to live in such a way that enriches and betters the lives of the vulnerable, the marginalised and the persecuted. I consider it important to hold our nation’s leaders and elected officials to the same standard. Kristen Furneaux, theology student: I grew up in Somerville and Mt Martha where I enjoyed an uplifting education at Flinders Christian Community College. My involvement with this Love Makes a Way action was indeed another contributing avenue for my understanding of faith and social responsibility. I chose to participate in this movement as a peaceful and considered response to the treatment of asylum seekers, which deeply saddens me as an Australian citizen and a fellow human being. As a dedicated community volunteer, I feel that it is my responsibility to use the privileged circumstance of my life on the Mornington Peninsula to create change in the lives of those who have not been fortunate enough to feel a sense of belonging or safety in their own community. Jake Doleschal, theology/arts student, community development worker with Urban Seed: I began teaching Sunday school at a local church when I was 19, and it was then that I became unable to reconcile my professional duty of looking after and ensuring the safety of the 70 kids in my care on a Sunday morning, with my nation’s inability at ensuring the safety of kids in detention on a Monday. I work with vulnerable people … [and] am unable to go home at night in the knowledge that that evening there are young people in offshore detention who do not have a home that is safe, who are in danger of abuse and experiencing such hopelessness that they may self-harm,
swallow poisons or set themselves on fire. Dean Moroney, theology/arts student, Frankston City Council youth worker: On a trip to Bali as a 19-year-old I met a family who were fleeing persecution in Iran. They had a beautiful little boy who would have been about six. They told me of their persecution, of their struggles in Bali and their desire for a better life. But they were in limbo, a family without a home. My heart broke for them, and especially for their son. They had little hope - I’m not sure where they are today. While volunteering with Urban Neighbours of Hope I met a man at Broadmeadows detention centre. He was my age, only 19, and the expression of hopelessness and despair in his eyes is something that I will not forget. Simon Reeves, Baptist minister: After inviting a young Sudanese refugee to move into our home many years ago and hearing his story from war-torn Sudan, I have never been the same. I have been committed to working for peace and learning how to welcome people who have been affected by violence and displaced by conflict. … Until this nation changes its ways, I expect no consequences will deter me from doing whatever I can to protect the most vulnerable people in the world at this moment – children and families seeking refuge from harm. Joel Furneaux, youth worker: I can assure the court that while sitting in quiet prayer and reflection in Mr Hunt’s office, it was not a statistic that I prayed for, nor was it an irrelevant ideology. When I closed my eyes in prayer, it was the faces of young men who had told me [while working for Anglicare] of the homelands they had been forced to flee because of the sickening actions of Al Qaeda.

Brick as weapon
A MAN covered his face with a beanie and hood and threatened a Dingley 7-Eleven Store attendant with a brick, 2.42am, Monday 6 June. The shop attendant retreated to a staff room and called police and the man fled on foot south east along Centre Dandenong Rd. Nothing was stolen. The man is described as 170cm tall, mid-late 20s, of medium build with light skin. He was wearing a navy jacket over a dark hoodie with a white skull logo, light blue jeans, black cap and green and white gloves. The same man was sighted outside a nearby gym a short time later. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Senior Constable Karen Goldschlager, Kingston CIU, 95566111.

CFA volunteers fear ‘sell out’ Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au COUNTRY Fire Authority volunteers across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula are “completely gutted” by what they see as a sell-out by the state government in enterprise bargaining negotiations between the United Firefighters’ Union and the CFA. Fair Work Australia has backed a log of claims governing future UFU wages and work conditions “which could effectively give them control over the CFA”, the volunteer body says. Volunteers are concerned the union seems to have the backing of Premier Daniel Andrews – although nothing is signed off as yet – but are buoyed by the support of Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett. The ramifications for firefighting on the peninsula are huge – with local volunteers threatening to leave en masse if their roles, positions and organisational standings are undermined by the professional body. Somerville CFA captain Allan Monti, a volunteer of 28 years, described the UFU push as “a big threat to the community” and said his volunteers would find the proposed new requirements hard to accept. “They will decimate our numbers because many volunteers will quit – that’s inevitable as their purpose diminishes,” he said. “It would be a shame to lose their skills and experience which we are very proud of.”
Mr Monti said CFA volunteers’ affinity with their communities enhanced their ability to fight “often complex” fires in bushland near homes, but that their abilities would be reduced if the new rules meant paid firefighters held sway over them. “That’s what we are all about,” he said. “The paid firefighters are not necessarily locals and they are not here all the time. “If we go, and that’s a real threat, it will be a big loss to the community.” The CFA says the cost of implementing the union’s new labour and infrastructure demands – “if the government caves in” – could be up to $1 billion, whereas they now work for free. It is concerned that Mr Andrews will pressure Ms Garrett to accept the union’s log of claims after three years of negotiations. Under current legislation, it is reported that only Ms Garrett has the power to force the CFA to accept a new EBA. About 20 Somerville and Tyabb CFA volunteers met last Wednesday afternoon (1 June) in a show of solidarity against what they see as a “sell-out” by the government. Other brigades across the peninsula are said to back their stand. Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria District 8 president Eric Collier, who oversees peninsula brigades, said the premier wanted to “keep in favour with the union for their support at the previous state election – it’s payback time”.
Attention Premier: Frankston full-time firefighters left Daniel Andrews in no doubt about their feelings on EBA negotiations earlier this year.
In any other circumstances, it would be difficult to believe that the government would accept the union’s EBA demands, Mr Collier said. He said the UFU management was “seeking to drive a wedge between the unionists and the volunteers’ ability to work together”. “This will undermine the CFA’s whole service delivery model which is based on our ability to work cohesively with professional fire fighters,” he said. “That’s the basis for our whole existence.” Mr Collier cited the Somerville stadium fire in early May to demonstrate what could have happened if the EBA had been in force. “At that fire the incident controller was a CFA officer
with volunteers and paid firefighters under his command,” he said. “That situation would not have been possible under the new rules.” Many volunteers have said their desire to remain in the service would dissipate if they were “reduced to being mere hose draggers”. Other concerns are the UFU bid for paid firefighters not to fight blazes until there are seven professionals on scene; banning paid firefighters from taking orders from volunteers except during major bushfires, and handing the union an effective veto power over CFA management decisions with the creation of a dispute resolution officer. The most affected brigades on the peninsula are Mornington, Frankston
and Rosebud, where there is a mix of paid staff and volunteers. Volunteer Fire Brigades Victoria president Captain Nev Jones said the volunteers were not trying to interfere in legitimate wage negotiations, but that proposed clauses would give the union the power of veto over CFA operational and resourcing decisions, “effectively putting the CFA under union control”. “There is the very real danger that the union representing two per cent of the CFA workforce will have control, and the 97 per cent of CFA who are volunteers will have no say at all,” he said. “This dispute has reached a point where I must demand that the voice of the 60,000 volunteers from the 1200 CFA brigades from every community across the state of Victoria needs to be heard. “I respect the role of all firefighters, both paid and volunteer, in delivering CFA’s service to Victoria. This is not about the pay and conditions of paid firefighters at the 34 CFA stations where they work with volunteers, this is about union control of the CFA. “We cannot allow any decision that will reduce the ability of CFA to function into the future in the most fire prone part of the world.” Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke – who is both a CFA volunteer and a former paid up UFU firefighter – declined to comment on the row other than to say: “I’m hopeful they come to a resolution soon.”

■ HEARING
Your Hearing Questions Answered Is it important for patients to see an audiologist if they think they may be having difficulties hearing? Yes, if you are starting to notice difficulties it’s important to have a full hearing test. We don’t just test which sounds you can hear, we also check how clearly you can understand speech, in quiet and in background noise. Some common indications that you may have a hearing loss are: Turning the TV up Frequently asking for repeats Not being able to hear properly on the telephone Difficulty in noisy situations such as restaurants Missing out on important parts of the conversation Often your partner or a close family member may be the first person to notice that you are having difficulty hearing. Is it true that a lot of patients don’t actually need hearing aids? Yes. Probably 25 percent of those that we see do choose to get hearing aids. Some people have a little bit of hearing loss that we just need to talk about, and continue to monitor. Are there steps people who aren’t ready for hearing aids can do to help combat hearing loss? Yes. Pick a seat in a restaurant where
you can see the faces of the people that you are taking to. This can make it easier to follow what they are saying. With the television, if you’re not ready for hearing aids, we can get a set of cordless headphones. These can be one of the best options for hearing the TV clearly. Are there ever very simple solutions to hearing loss? Yes. Sometimes a hearing loss can be caused by ear wax blocking the canal. If someone needs a hearing aid, should they always choose the most expensive, top-of-the-line model? Most people don’t need the most expensive hearing aids, fully loaded with all the bells and whistles. It really is patient specific. You don’t always need the absolute top-of theline hearing aid technology, if the features that you need are available in something less expensive. At Chelsea Hearing, we always offer you a range of options, and it is up to you to choose something that you are comfortable with. You should never feel pressured to proceed with hearing aids that you don’t feel ready for. Are smaller hearing aids more expensive? Generally, the style of the hearing aid does not have very much impact on the price. There are very good, small hearing aids available at all price points. Larger hearing aids are not necessarily less expensive either. The good news is
that the very small, comfortable hearing aids are suitable for most people these days. How much do hearing aids cost? Most people who are on a Centrelink pension (such as an age pension or a disability pension) are eligible for the Office of Hearing Services Voucher program. This enables them to choose from a range of hearing aids that are “free-to-client”. These hearing aids have improved significantly over the past few years, and a lot of people are pleasantly surprised at how natural they sound, and how small and comfortable they can be. Pensioners can also choose to contribute to more expensive hearing aids if they wish. For people who are not eligible for the voucher program, hearing aids typically start at $2,700 for a pair. What brand of hearing aids to you recommend? Chelsea Hearing is an independent clinic. We fit hearing aids from all of the major manufacturers. Our recommendations are made after we have tested your hearing, looked in your ears, and had a discussion about the things that you want to hear well. We also take the time to consider your preference for style and size of the hearing aids, as well as your budget. We will recommend the most appropriate hearing aids for you, and we will always give you a range of options to choose from.
What is your philosophy on health care? If I wouldn’t do it for my Mum or Dad, I don’t do it for a patient. When I’m making recommendations for a patient, I think “if this was my mum or dad, with this hearing loss, and these difficulties, would I be making the same recommendations?”. If the answer is “yes”, then I know I’m doing my best for a patient. What does the relationship you have with your patients mean to you? The patient comes first. The patient is your customer and you want to have the healthiest, happiest patient that you can. That makes me happy as well. To know that we are helping that patient to be happy is just rewarding. What is one thing about your job that really sticks out in a positive way? It’s really nice to be able to make a difference for people. Often the partner of the person with a hearing loss may have been repeating themselves and having to speak louder for years. When we help with a hearing loss (often with hearing aids) it’s often the family members who notice the benefit first. Suddenly they don’t have to repeat everything, and they don’t get so tired from speaking loudly all day. It can make a big difference for the whole family.
the right pace of the individual patient. Some people come in here, and they know they want to get hearing aids and they want to get it all happening as quickly as possible. Other people come in, and they are having some difficulties hearing, but they don’t know if they have a hearing loss. They may need a little bit more time to understand their hearing loss, and the options available. It doesn’t help anyone to push someone in to getting hearing aids before they are ready for them, or to pressure someone to purchase hearing aids that cost more than they are comfortable with. Sometimes the best thing to do is explain what’s causing the problem, and what solutions are available. It can also be helpful to bring your partner or a close family member to your appointment with you.
Do you have rules that you live by when treating patients? My number one rule is to take things at

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
The tragic death of Lord Kitchener Compiled by Melissa Walsh A TREMENDOUS sensation, has been caused throughout the world by the news of the death by drowning of Lord Kitchener and his staff, by the founding of H.M.S. Hampshire, which occurred on Monday west of the Orkneys, while on its way to Russia, as the result of being mined or torpedoed” It is estimated that there was a total loss of 655 lives. *** THE month of May, 1916, has distinguished itself by putting up a record low temperature in Melbourne —11 degrees below zero. *** WORKING expenses on the railways have increased by £326,260 for the past quarter. The train mileage decreased by 154 575. *** IN our report of the Somerville District Help Society, appearing last week, the name of Miss Barber was inadvertently omitted from the committee. *** NEWS was received yesterday by his father that Private E. Reynolds, of Frankston, has been slightly wounded. Further information is anxiously awaited. *** ON Sunday, 28th ult., the Rev G. A. Kitchen was inducted into the charge of St Paul’s, Hay, by the Bishop of Riverina. Mr Kitchen has been appointed Canon Residentiary of St Paul’s Pro-Cathedral.
*** THE “Wattles” Club will hold a social in the Frankston Mechanics’ on Saturday next; (June 17th) in aid of the Langwarrin Camp Amusement Hall. As this Club has established a name for itself in providing a pleasant evening’s entertainment, there will doubtless be a large attendance. *** LADY Stanley has circularised the different branches of the Red Cross League, notifying that the appeal has now closed, but at the same time trusts that the branch Red Cross Societies will continue their labors, as large demands in kind continue to be made on the Central Red Cross Society, and it appears certain that the activities of our troops at the front will increase greatly in the immediate future, with a consequent increase in the demand for supplies of a Red Cross nature, both here and abroad. *** THE annual meeting of subscribers to the Ragged Boys’ Home was held at the institute, Exhibition street, on Wednesday night, the president, Mr W. Woodhead, being in the chair. It was stated in the annual report, which was read by Mr W. Minton, that a large number of “ old boys “ had volunteered for the front. During the past year 84 boys were sheltered at the institute, 38,524 free meals were distributed, and 10,988 free beds were provided. Financially, the year was a very satisfactory one,
the debit balance which existed at the opening was converted into a credit balance of £84. The receipts amounted to £1731, and the expenditure to £1647. The election of officers resulted :— President, Mr W. Woodhead (re elected) ; vice-presidents, Messrs J. Menzies, M.L.A, and G. H. G. Wharington ; new members of committee. Major E. T. Apps and Messrs W. Day and A. Smith; treasurer, Rev. S. M. Solomon (re elected) ; auditor, Mr. F. G. Wood, J P., (re-elected) ; patrons, Mr W. H. Lawson M.L.A., Captain Tickell and Mr A. Bastow. *** THE Rev. A. P. McFarlane was inducted to the parish of St. Paul’s, Frankston, on Saturday evening, of June 3rd, 1916, at 7.30 o’clock, by the Rev..M.A., Warden of St Kilda East. Canon Hart a so preached a fine and appropriate sermon for the occasion. He exhorted the congregation to receive their parish priest as the gift of Jesus Christ to His Church and to them. Christians are called to be Saints and Christ wants them to work as preachers of God for the extension of His Kingdom. The preacher went on to say that there was a mistaken idea in the minds of many that they, as Christians had nothing to do except attend the services whenever they felt inclined. The true idea of Christian life was that each person who was baptised into the Body of Christ, which is His
Church, was a priest to the church and they had to spread the word. There was a large congregation. The visitors from Melbourne returned by the 10.23 p.m. train and said good-bye to Mrs McFarlane and the Vicar at the station singing “Auld Lang Syne ‘’and “They are jolly good fellows.” On Sunday, June 4th, the vicar celebrated Holy Communion at 11 a.m., when there was a large congregation and the persons made their communion. *** TREATMENT of Carriers of Meningitis Cases. A satisfactory method of clearing the nose and throat of (whistle) organisms is by means of a nasal douche, made as follows :-Dissolve one teaspoonful each of table salt, baking soda, and boric acid in a quart of hot water. Apply the fluid by means of a special nasal syphon douche or, if not at hand-a learned medico’s substitute-form the hand into a cup and snuffle the fluid up the nose, and allow it to run out of the mouth. With the above following inhalant should be used by the inhaler, using five drops at a time : Eucalyptus oil, .8 parts; Terebene, 2 parts; Menthol, 1 part. A minute or so at a time at frequent intervals during the day. *** THE most ambitious and extensive enterprise in peanut growing yet made in Australia was in the Frankston district during the past
year. On three types of soil, on a mixture of clay and sand, a sandy loam, and on almost pure sand in which bracken luxuriates, Mr C. Evelyn Liardet planted 58 acres. Frankston is by the sea, and has an average annual rain fall of upwards of 30 inches. Mr Liardet was courageous in making so considerable an experiment; but he had the confidence of experience. Although born in Australia, he spent many years in North China associated with large peanut oil manufacturing works. He studied the plant and its habits and observed that it prospered in temperate portions of the Chinese Empire. Last year he imported a large supply of seed from the Shantung province. It is a different variety from that previously tried in Victoria, having the recumbent habit as against the up- right. The sandy land was ploughed three or four times, and was harrowed as often. Beginning in November, and running through December and into January, the seed was planted by hand in rows a foot apart, with distances of a foot within each row. Mr Liardet now possesses local grown seeds of this interesting variety, and he is evidencing confidence in having decided plant out another considerable area in the next summer. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 10 June, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Perturbation and other mouth manglers By Stuart McCullough I DON’T why I kept it. Tucked between a couple of paper backs was a thin, brown volume. On the front it read ‘Spelling and Vocabulary Work Book’. On the cover I had written my name (twice, for reasons that now elude me), my school and my phone number. It was, perhaps, somewhat optimistic to think that in the event that I misplaced my Spelling and Vocabulary Work Book that a member of the general public might call me as a matter of urgency. Stumbling across something that is little more than a glorified pamphlet is not exactly on par with find their wallet or a child. Not that I ever misplaced it. In case you’re not sufficiently impressed, let me make the point that in the thirty years since I scribbled my name on the front of my measly work book, I left home, went to University and moved houses multiple times (including interstate). Through it all, I’ve dragged this item with me. In that time, I’ve succeeded in misplacing all manner of other far-more useful things including, on occasion, my dignity. But the Spelling and Vocabulary Work Book has, through thick and thin, never been far from my side. So what is it about this small volume that makes it so special, such that I have kept it near and dear whilst squandering so much else? Moving past the cover, the first page is titled ‘Hints for Spelling’. There follows a short essay with a series of headings. It begins with question that is not such much didactic as it is a philosophical call to arms: ‘Why do we need to spell?’ At the time this question was

posed, computers were still novelty items. The makers of the workbook could not have foreseen the inexorable rise of the text message. Doubtless, the authors have since written es-

says about the deplorable desertion of spelling and grammar or, if they really want to reach the younger generation, simply sent an emoji with a tear running down its yellow cheek to every-
one in their address book to show their displeasure. The next question posed is ‘Who is a “Poor Speller”?’ When I first read this question more than thirty years ago, I was probably prepared to name names. The paragraph that follows contains warnings as to how future employers might interpret the inability to spell. It occurs to me now that they were clearly trying to terrify us into behaving. After inviting the students to turn on each other in a kind of grammatical ‘Lord of the Flies’, the next question is ‘How Can I Help Myself?’ It was, I suspect, always going to come to that. The workbook goes on to counsel students that they should be keeping a record of pretty much every word they ever come across before ending with the slightly depressing observation: ‘Remember, the dictionary is your best friend at this stage, you should have one with you at all times.’ Sadly, it’s possible that when I was in high school the dictionary was my best friend. Not that I carried one around at all times. The only thing I carried at all times back then was acne. There are two further pages full of instructions, including how to make an index. Turning the next page, I was confronted by my own teenage handwriting, setting out the words with their definition handily beside them. From the outset, it was clear I was ambitious. On page one, I had defined words including ‘commodious’, ‘obsequiousness’ and, somewhat ironically, ‘perspicuous’. Clearly, I was intent on dazzling my classmates with a vocabulary as vast as the paddocks that lay
beyond the school fence. It’s frightening to think that I weaseled these terms in to every day conversation. I can picture myself; strolling into the Tyabb Milk Bar to pick up a Wiz Fizz and Choc-Orange Big M, startling the shopkeeper by referring to the commodious nature of the surroundings. He might have regarded such a remark as little more than aggrandizement (meaning to make greater - bottom of page one). Things don’t improve on page two. There you’ll find terms like ‘perturbation’, ‘aphoristic’ and ‘bourgeois’. It’s painful to see them there, clumped together on the page, like three random people trapped in an elevator. I can almost hear myself describing the Under 15s Pie Night of the Tyabb Junior Football Club as ‘bourgeois’. I don’t know how they put up with me. I doubt they thought of me as aphoristic (straight to the point, direct impact). Rather, they probably used a simpler but more infamous word to describe me. I would have deserved it too. But despite the furious pace at which I began filling out my Spelling and Vocabulary Workbook, mid-way through page three I ran out of steam. Perhaps my attempts to use these words were not as well received as I might have hoped. Despite that, I kept the work book, maybe in the hope that I would one day continue my efforts to build the kind of vocabulary that, like the Chadstone Shopping Centre, can be seen from space. For now, my efforts remain inchoate (underdeveloped – page one). One day, though, I’ll get back to it. Best to keep it on hand. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

to ‘get over it and to stop living in the past’. It was brutally funny and somehow appropriate in terms of the gravity which many attached to the situation.
He writes about mates, ratbags, races, places, weddings, parties, funny stuff – anything – but they are really good stories and great songs. Mick is truly a legend around the best of fair-dinkum roots venues and festivals around the country.
And when the dust had settled from the awards night ultimately all that was left was the knowledge that there are new projects to go to, tours to plan and songs to write. Music to be made.
He is a character! He is funny! He will talk the leg off an old chair and play the arse off a guitar, sweat the shirt of his back and lay you in the aisles. At the end of 2012 when Mick announced that Weddings, Parties, Anything would be using the Melbourne Age Hall of Fame induction as a farewell platform there was an understandingly large outpouring of emotion on his facebook page as the fans struggled to come to grips with the finality of the occasion. And amongst this litany of loss and professed loyalty came one solid voice of reason (and acerbic wit) from Melbourne percussionist Ray Pereira telling Mick
His ever evolving talents as a writer and performer and racontuer continue to define a career as intruiging as it is enduring. Special guest at The Grand Mornington will be Rich Davies and The Low Road will peel back the skin of rock’n’roll to expose Old-Time Folk, Americana and Celtic bones.

JAZZ HANDS AT THE READY… Mornington Street corners, bars and restaurants will come alive over the Queen’s Birthday Weekend, June 10 – 12, as some of the biggest names in the business hit town for the fourth annual Mornington Winter Jazz Festival. The 2016 festival is set to take things to a whole new level with the introduction of a new Blues program which will be jam packed with some of Mornington Peninsula’s favourite artists! The 2015 festival was a huge success, with more than 116 performances in and around Mornington, and this year festival organisers the Mornington Chamber of Commerce are aiming to raise the bar even further. Multi-ARIA nominee Frank Bennett kicks things off at The Rocks on Friday, June 10. Bennett’s uncanny ability to recapture the magic of Sinatra in concert has made him one of the most popular and sought after entertainers in Australia today. Friday evening also plays host to a great blues line up at The Grand Hotel with local favourites Wilson & White, Diddy Reyes and Rob Papp’s Blues Head supporting the unmissable Soul Sacrifice, Melbourne’s best Santana touring band. Off the back of an epic performance in 2015, soul singers Vika Bull and Adrew DeSilva (pictured) are set to draw a crowd to their performance ‘Let’s Get It On, The Life and Music of Marvin Gaye’ at the Grand Hotel Sunday June 12. Likewise, Vince Jones returns to Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery on Saturday June 11 with a new and unique show created exclusively for the Mornington Winter Jazz Festival.
There are also a heap of great free performances in and around town all weekend including a killer blues line up at Double G Saloon, Jazz-A-Thon at Leaf and Bean, a jam packed showcase of jazz at Gods Kitchen and for the latin lovers, newly opened Casa De Playa presents La Rumba who will have you dancing till the wee hours of Saturday night! Between Friday and Sunday there are over 50 performances available for you to experience ranging from intimate Jazz dinner shows to dance floor take over swing and blues sessions including the ever popular Mick Pealing and band at the Bay Hotel Sunday afternoon. For something a little more unique, Brooklands of Mornington are hosting a one of a kind Chefs Choice 5 Course Dining Experience on Friday evening accompanied by an evening of Jazz in the Eighteen78 dining room. Bookings can be made directly with the venue. For a toe tapping good time, The Royal Hotel has created their very own ‘Jazz Club’ offering a night of swing and splendour with the Gatsby Swing performing classics of the roaring 20’s and 30’s. Of course Saturday and Sunday will offer a wide variety of free street entertainment with roving bands parading the Main Street and children’s entertainment to keep the little ones enthralled too! Tickets are Now On Sale! The full program and event information can be found online at www.morningtonjazz.com.au or by contacting Mornington Chamber of Commerce on 5975 4522 (Mon-Wed).

Bulls storm home – Dogs in trouble PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt KARINGAL came from 30 points down at three quarter time to overrun Mornington in a six point nail biter on Saturday. The Bulls, who had four Under 19s and two Under 17s playing in their team, more than doubled their score in the final quarter, booting six goals to one to run out 12.8 (80) to 11.8 (74) winners. Despite having their fair share of the footy in the second and third quarters, the Bulls could not penetrate the scoreboard with both key forwards Leigh Poholke and Chris Hay struggling with leg injuries. However, coach Michael Triep made some changes at the final change and the momentum swung. The Bulls kicked the first goal of the last quarter in the opening minute and the roll
began. Triep said the result was “something special”. “I think having the likes of key defender Luke Van Raay and key forward Harry Czarnecki out of the team and Hay and Poholke on one leg and to still get up and win with was a super effort,” said Triep. “We had six kids under the age of 19 playing, including a couple of 17-year-olds, so that experience of coming back from five goals down will hold them in good stead.” One of the Under 17s playing was state 100m sprint champion Kyle Nunn, who ran and carried the footy all afternoon, while Josh Bradley is a tough kid who just won a lot of important ball for the Bulls when it mattered. “Michael Burke was superb in the last quarter when we moved him for-
ward and Grant Goodall dominated Michael Gay in the second half and that made a huge difference to the result too,” said Triep. Despite being on one leg, Poholke booted the goal that drew the Bulls level and the one that put them in front. “Polks is a bit sore and he’ll enjoy the week off, as a number of our players will,” said Triep. Mornington again let itself down in the final quarter. “Going in I knew they were one of the worst performing final quarter teams, so I certainly shared that with my players at three quarter time,” said Triep. Mornington led 31 to two at quarter time, 43 to 24 at half time and 67 to 37 at the last change. Frankston YCW led Chelsea by just eight points at half time on Saturday, 37 to 29. An hour later, the Stone-
cats had a further 29 scoring shots to just three and won 16.25 (121) to 5.7 (37). Again, Kyle Hutchison dominated through the middle, Ryley Hodson and Kevin Lylak down back and Paul Minchington booted five goals. Mt Eliza played Justin Van Unen forward on Saturday and he booted six of his side’s 11 goals against Langwarrin. The Redlegs held Langwarrin to one goal in the first half before going on to win 11.8 (74) to 5.6 (36). Brenton Lambert on debut was named the Redlegs’ best while Van Unen and Karl Lombardozzi also performed very well. Mitch Cuthbert and Nick Hammill were the best of the Kangas, along with the smooth moving ‘Doggie’ Withers. The final score suggested Edithvale
scraped over the line against Seaford, however, the Eagles had an additional 14 scoring shots; 12.19 (91) to 12.5 (77). Mick Meehan was again the difference between the sides with five goals while Liam Harris, Angus Macquire and Elliott Macquire were also outstanding. Nick Braund and Johnathan Haidon were among the best Tigers. Bonbeach couldn’t make it four wins on the trot, soundly beaten by Pines 13.6 (84) to 7.9 (51). Tim Bongetti was the difference between the sides with five goals while Aaron Edwards was his usual dominant self with three goals. Brad Kiely and Pat Jackson were also outstanding in the win. Chris Bryan and Owen Hulett were the best of the Sharks. Who are still just two points outside of fifth spot.

Demons overcome the Blues
NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt RYE responded to back-to-back lame performances and public criticism on Saturday by bouncing back and knocking over top of the ladder Hastings. The Demons past two performances against Sorrento and Frankston Bombers were 10-plus goal hidings, however, they bounced back in the best way possible on Saturday against the Blues to win comfortably 14.11 (95) to 8.13 (61). And the hierarchy hit back too in response to claims that it was neglecting its junior development program. Although the club did not want to go on the record officially, a number of senior representatives made it very clear that the club was working hard at Under 19 and junior level to bring on the next generation of senior talent. “We are working tirelessly and have done so for a couple of years now because we know as a club we have some work to do,” one official said. “The Rye senior club has invested a lot of money and time into our junior program and we’ll continue to do that. “You can say what you like about our performances and recruiting but we won’t cop the public spray about not looking after our juniors – we’re doing a hell of a lot in that area and its simply unfair and uneducated criticism,” the official said. On field, Under 19 Harrison DevineRichardson shone in his second game for the season while Ryan Mullett was again outstanding. A couple of players the Demons needed more from were James Appl-
Pie pain: Rosebud continued the bad year for Crib Point with an 84 point win. Picture: Scott Memery
eford and Jimmy Jennings and both of those players performed well on Saturday. Matt Greig booted four goals while Matt Whelan was given his opportunity in the ones and he added a different dynamic up front with a couple of goals. Hastings was blown away in the second half after leading at quarter time and trailing by just one point at half time.
Colin McVeigh was the only dangerous player in attack with three goals while Shaun Foster and Brendan Dunne worked hard with the classy and unflappable Paul Rogasch. Frankston Bombers have genuine claims on the 2016 premiership. The Bombers dominated Red Hill on Saturday, recording a very comfortable 15.12 (102) to 10.7 (67) victory. The Bombers jumped out of the
COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF WHY WE ARE THE BEST GYM AROUND
blocks and blew Red Hill away in the opening quarter with five goals to one. Considering Red Hill’s inability to kick big scores, the game was virtually over at the first interval. Corey Micari did an outstanding job in the ruck for the Bombers and grew as a player in one game of footy. Dale Sutton is simply a class above most others and he was the catalyst to the big quarter time lead and ultimately the victory. Defensively, the Bombers are now rock solid. Nathan Lonie and Beau Muston provide the experience and drive while Ryan Marks Logan and Jarryd Amalfi, together with Jay Page and Al Williams, control everything else defensively and make up a very strong back six. Zac White also adds some raw aggression and toughness to defence. Ryan Kitchen will come back this week in the ruck and will add plenty after being rubbed out for a couple of weeks for striking no one. In attack, the Bombers have some real potency there too. Grant Masterson was back on Saturday and looked more comfortable as the game progressed, while Zac Longham and Scott Foster were super as leading and marking forwards. Michael Maiorino, Brad Whitley and Jake Foster make up what is a very dangerous forward half. The Bombers’ game style too is based on pressure, accountability, teamwork and discipline. There were no signs of the typical Bomber flamboyancy, arrogance or selfishness – they all seem to
be eliminated from the new Bombers. As for Red Hill, they are teetering on the edge. The Hillmen simply have to readjust their game style to try and find ways of kicking a score. They average 10 goals a game and that’s not good enough to beat the best. In other games, Rosebud smashed Crib Point by 14 goals, 19.12 (126) to 6.6 (42). When you talk about clubs who promised a lot and have produced diddly-squat, you can’t go past the Magpies. What a waste of a season it has been for the black and white. As for the Buds, they are right in flag contention. Dromana bounced back and got the job done against Tyabb, winning 13.16 (94) to 7.5 (47). Rikki Johnson found himself in the front half of the ground and booted five goals. After a couple of good weeks, the Yabbies just weren’t in it on Saturday. Somerville had 40 scoring shots against Devon Meadows and won 18.22 (130) to 9.10 (64). The news on Beau Miller and his tough battle against cancer has rocked the Meadows and football has become very much secondary for this footy club in 2016. Pearcedale went toe-to-toe with Sorrento in the first quarter but were blown away in the end 24.10 (154) to 12.8 (80). Heath Cameron, Dave Lawson and Guy Stringer all played in the reserves. If the Sharks have a deficiency it is down back and Cameron and possibly Stringer will help in that area. Gun key forward Myles Pitt is also due back in the coming weeks.

Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United lost 5-1 at home to
Sudoku and crossword solutions
title-chasing Old Scotch in their State 2 South-East fixture on Saturday. A 6th minute goal from William McLellan put Old Scotch in front but Seaford didn’t let them have it all their own way. The first half finished at a gripping pace with both sides peppering the goals with end-to-end football. Both teams started the second half in similar fashion and the Seaford faithful had reason to believe they were in with a chance of knocking over the league leader. But Kurt Emery killed the dream with a strike in the 58th minute and teammate Sam Shearer floated a ball into the top corner of the Seaford goal
in the 72nd minute to make it 3-0. Dylan Waugh got on the scoresheet for the home side in the 84th minute but by then the damage had been done. An attempted sliding save by Seaford defender Chris Sibson in front of goal in injury time saw the ball run up his body, brushing his hand and leaving the referee with little option but to award a penalty and send the defender off with a straight red card. Graham Evans converted from the spot then substitute James Warne added to a flattering scoreline minutes later. Seaford now sets its sights on the upcoming derby showdown with

By Craig MacKenzie MORNINGTON’S march towards a second successive State 1 SouthEast title continued at the expense of Frankston Pines at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday. Wayne Gordon opened the scoring in the 25th minute and three minutes later Shane Tagliaferro’s deflected shot fell for Northern Irish import Sam Stewart who tucked it away from eight metres. Another deflected Tagliaferro strike in the 68th minute lobbed up for Paul McEvoy to head home and a fine free-kick by Chris Reid in the 71st minute stood despite Pines’ protestations that it was indirect. Kane Bentley grabbed a late consolation for Pines to complete the 4-1 scoreline. Mornington youngster Jack Heseltine was the victim of a head clash in the second half and was taken to hospital but escaped serious injury and was released late Saturday night. Langwarrin continued its recent dominance over Berwick City with a 5-2 win in their State 1 SouthEast encounter at Lawton Park on Saturday. Ex-Langy player Steve Vernon broke the deadlock in the 24th minute after being put through by Orlando Mejias but four minutes later Langy equalised when a Josh Calle cross from the left was headed in from close range by Koray Suat. Langy midfielder Grant Lane made it 2-1 when he slammed the ball past Berwick keeper Jeremy Figler in the 65th minute after Berwick failed to clear from a long throw-in on the right. A minute later Langy substitute Nabil Mozaffaruddin rose high to power a firm header past Figler. In the 77th minute big Caleb Nicholes became a nominee for the scorer of the finest solo goal ever seen at Lawton Park when he skinned four opponents on the left then jinked past Figler and from a tight angle slotted the ball home to make it 4-1. Nicholes used his strength to hold off a defender then broke clear in the 84th minute and struck home his second to make it 5-1. Berwick substitute Alph Turay skipped clear four minutes later and finished in style past advancing Langy custodian Robbie Acs. Veteran midfielder Chris Driver has returned to Langy from Endeavour Hills Fire to help ease an injury and unavailability crisis and he slotted in to the sweeper’s role.
Peninsula Strikers who slumped to a 4-0 away loss to championship contender Caulfield United Cobras last weekend. Caulfield’s goals came from Denis Botvenev (8th minute), Michael Johnson (31st) and Steve McRae (38th and 61st). Strikers started the season eyeing promotion but the rot set in after a round 5 home loss to Doveton and the side now has lost six in a row. Skye United lost for the first time this season going down 3-2 to visitor Keysborough on Saturday but still sits on top of State 4 South. The deadlock was broken in the 28th minute when new Skye signing Marco Elhassan was brought down inside the area and Skye captain Mark O’Connor slotted home the resulting penalty. Keysborough equalised right on half-time with a cracking long-range drive from Mert Sakranlioglu. Keysborough struck twice in a couple of minutes in a physical second half with goals from Alex Tang and a second for Sakranlioglu before Billy Painting scored to make it 3-2. Skye applied the pressure and chances fell to Michael Putson and O’Connor but to no avail. Rosebud Heart remains the only team in State 5 South with a perfect record after a 1-0 away win over East Bentleigh last weekend. Goalscoring machine Dave Greening settled the issue in the 70th minute with a left footed volley into the top far corner. Arch rival Baxter slipped behind in the title race when it drew 2-2 away against Pakenham United on Saturday. Todd Burt (38th minute) and Stefano Rischitelli (49th) scored for Pakenham while Baxter’s marksmen were Paul Swan (40th) and Rhys Wilson (61st). Baxter’s Owen Kilner received a straight red card for violent conduct early in the second half when the scoreline was 1-1.
