V for Victory at awards night

FOOTBALL fan and Kingston mayor, Paul Peulich, attended Melbourne Victory’s award nights at Crown Casino last Friday evening with defender Adama Traore winning the coveted Victory Medal by just one vote from teammate James Triosi.

A-League teammates judged Traore to be Victory’s best and fairest player for the 2013-14 season.

“It was a great night and it’s been amazing to see the growth of the club and the game of football in the A-League in such a short space of time,” Cr Peulich said.

Triosi shouldn’t be too disappointed at just missing out on snaring the Victory Medal.

His season-long form has seen him firmly in line for a Socceroos call-up for this June’s World Cup in Brazil.

Melbourne Victory coach Kevin Muscat praised all the players for their efforts this season, which just saw the side fall short of a grand final appearance when they were narrowly defeated by eventual premiers Brisbane Roar 1-0 in an A-League semi-final in late April.

“Adama has had a standout season and is certainly a deserved winner of the Victory Medal,” Muscat said.

“The entire squad should be very pleased with their efforts this season and we are all looking forward to achieving even greater success next season as we celebrate the club’s 10th anniversary.”

Fans hail another bumper Harvest COUNTRY, bluegrass and rockabilly music rocked the eighth annual Harvest Festival held on Saturday at the Roy Dore Reserve at Carrum.

Thousands of interested residents enjoyed the fine weather and the nonstop music – as well as fresh food and cooking demonstrations in the Harvest Kitchen. Market stalls, delicious local food, boutique wine and beer proved a welcome temptation.

ARIA country music chart topping duo McAlister Kemp headlined the event joined by Todd Cook, Little Wise, Robert James Kirk Band, Marisa Quigley, the Migrations, Slim Dime and the Prairie Kings, The Rebelles, Rory Ellis & The Devil’s Right Hand, The Go Set and Mustered Courage.

Mayor, Cr Paul Peulich, described the Harvest Festival as an ongoing success story for Kingston. “Harvest is one of the few dedicated country, bluegrass and rockabilly music fes-

Kingston’s first Beach Patrol is all set for Saturday 24 May. A group of volunteers will meet on Saturday 24 May to help clean Mentone Beach from 10am-11am and Kingston City Council is urging more residents to get on board with its litter hotspot project.

“Being part of a local Beach Patrol is a great way to get to know people in your local neighbourhood and do your bit for the local environment,” mayor Paul Peulich said.

Kingston’s Beach Patrols are a network of volunteers formed to help clean beaches in an effort to make them safer and more enjoyable for the community.

Kingston has established Beach Patrol groups as part of a State Government funded project to clean up litter hotspots.

Each patrol member pledges one hour of voluntary beach cleaning each month, either individually or as part of a group.

Group cleans are usually conducted on Saturday morning and are followed by a fun social session.

If you are interested in joining the Mentone group, meet on Saturday 24 May at 10am in the carpark of Mentone Life Saving Club.

For more information on Beach Patrols in your area, contact council’s environmental project officer Renae Walton on 9581 4379 or email ourplace@kingston.vic.gov.au

tivals in Melbourne attracting thousands of locals and visitors alike.

We’re proud to play host to such a wonderful line up of new and established performers.”

Of special interest were The Green Hub and Jam Café. Green Hub hosted sustainable living workshops and demonstrations. Jam Café – like a proving ground for new performers gave emerging musicians the chance to play in front of a friendly crowd in a relaxed and intimate setting. The idea works, too: All Jam Café musicians from last year went on to play bigger gigs at Globe to Globe World Music Festival and the Mordialloc Food, Wine & Music Festival.

Other fun activities on Saturday included social clogging and line dancing, the Patterson Lakes Community Centre gymnastics display, a Scarecrow Orchestra for kids, a circus workshop and Disco Daddy.

Labor vows to cap rate rises Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON ratepayers could see annual rates rises capped if Labor wins the November state election.

The state opposition has targeted “wasteful or unnecessary council spending” in a bid to convince voters household costs will be lowered if Labor wins government.

Opposition leader Daniel Andrews said Victorian councils would be forced to cap annual rates rise at consumer price index and any additional increase would have to be justified by appealing to the independent Essential Services Commission.

“Homeowners and businesses can

have confidence that they aren’t footing the bill for wasteful or unnecessary council spending,” Mr Andrews said.

Labor state candidate for Mordialloc Tim Richardson said it was time to act on wasteful spending and a lack of transparency.

“Kingston City Council will be forced to limit rate rises and detail where every dollar will be spent, because ratepayers deserve a fair go,” Mr Richardson said.

The Municipal Association of Victoria has condemned Labor’s rates cap pledge and accused the opposition of bringing back a “failed” reform first introduced by former premier Jeff Kennett in the 1990s.

“Voters thought Kennett’s rate rise

Citizens on beach patrol

restrictions in the early 1990s were a great idea until they felt the consequences of this reform,” MAV president Bill McArthur said.

“Rate rise restrictions leave councils with two main choices – reduce services relied on by communities or reduce capital spending to maintain assets.”

Kingston City Council increased rates by 4.45 per cent in its 2013-14 budget, against a CPI rise of 2.5 per cent.

Council had originally planned to increase rates by 4.95 per cent but councillors opted to pare back the rise by 0.5 per cent.

If Labor wins this year’s state election the party has promised to amend the Local Government Act to specify

that council draft budgets must be submitted to the ESC before they are formally adopted.

Mr Richardson said Labor’s proposal “sends a message that we expect council to keep its rates in line with CPI and lets the independent commission decide above that”.

DO you think council rate rises should be capped to CPI? Or do you believe council should have the power to set rates to ensure public services can be maintained and provided? Email team@baysidenews. com.au and your view could appear in a future edition of The News.

Star gazers eye eclipse EYEING last month’s lunar eclipse was a nocturnal highlight for Carrum’s Ben and Laura Smith.

The children, who attend Patterson Lakes Primary School, set up their telescopes on the banks of the Patterson River to take in the eclipse, which – for the technically minded - was the first in a series of four consecutive total lunar eclipses, also known as a tetrad. It was also visible in North America and South America.

Their mum, Cheryl, said the pair was keenly interested in the event. ‘’There

was lots of talk about it; where they were going to stand and what they were going to take. It was a big event for them.’’

She said Ben, 10 and Laura, 8, had their own telescopes and even apps on their phones showing the constellations. On their bedroom ceilings are glow-in-the-dark stickers of the Southern Cross and maps of the universe.

Their interest started at a young age: Ben got his first telescope at age 5. Father Graeme fosters their knowledge and understanding with books and

charts and topical anecdotes on the various stars and planets when they walk in the evenings. ‘’They want to go outside and look at the night sky all the time,’’ Cheryl said. ‘’Often I get caught out saying ‘Look, there’s a certain star’ and they say: ‘’No it’s not, mum, that’s a satellite.’’

The family is keen on caravanning and often visits Echuca where star gazing in the clear country sky has its own rewards.

Budget rail plan leave commuters out of loop Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON line commuters face frustrating delays reaching Flinders St and Richmond stations if the state government’s Melbourne Rail Link plan unveiled last week is implemented.

The Coalition spruiked the $11 billion Melbourne Rail Link as a heavy rail infrastructure project that would cement “Melbourne’s position as one of the world’s most liveable cities”.

But details of the plan reveal Frankston line commuters would face delays travelling to some destinations.

The project will re-route the Frankston line via a new train station called Fishermans Bend, named after a new suburb to be established in an industrial area near Port Melbourne.

However, somewhat confusingly, the new station will be located near Crown Casino in Melbourne’s CBD. Frankston line commuters will be forced to switch trains at South Yarra or Caulfield if they wish to exit at Richmond or Flinders Street.

State Labor candidate for Moridalloc Tim Richardson condemned the disruption Frankston line travellers would face when the Melbourne Rail Link is complete. ““This is a disaster for the Frankston line and commuters in Kingston,” Mr Richardson said.

“During the week, Chelsea, Edithvale, Aspendale, Mordialloc, Parkdale, Mentone and Cheltenham passengers won’t get directly into the city and on weekends won’t get to the MCG, AAMI Park or Rod Laver Arena.”

Frankston line trains will continue to stop at other stations in the city loop including Southern Cross, Flagstaff, Melbourne Central and Parliament stations. However, many city workers will be inconvenienced at being unable to board a direct train to Flinders Street.

A-League football fans also often alight at

Richmond to walk the short distance to the AAMI Park stadium.

Public Transport Users Association president Tony Morton criticised the Napthine government for abandoning its long-mooted Melbourne Metro network project, which would have seen extra rail infrastructure built to the west and north of Melbourne.

“Quite simply, this is policy on the run,” Dr Morton said. “If you’re on the Frankston line there will be no more Flinders Street trains

for you and unless you’re heading for the west side of the CBD you’ll now need to change at Caulfield or South Yarra.”

The Melbourne Rail Link is expected to be complete by 2023. The state government said train and rail upgrades before its completion would see travel times decrease.

The PTUA’s Dr Morton said there should have been public debate before the Melbourne Rail Link was finalised.

Successive state governments had failed to

invest in rail infrastructure and had preferred to focus on roads, according to Dr Morton. “There is nothing for people who live and work in the suburbs, unless you drive a car.”

Dissatisfaction with Frankston line train services was regarded as a major factor in Liberal MPs winning several ‘sandbelt’ bayside seats from the ALP at the 2010 state election.

The coalition has a one-seat majority and faces a battle to retain marginal bayside seats at November’s state poll.

Call to arms to monitor plastic threat

By Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au BEACHES may seem pristine as you walk along the sand, gazing out into the wide, blue yonder.

But an expert warns that waves of micro-sized plastic pollutant are finding their way into Port Phillip in everincreasing volumes, sparking growing concern among environmental watchdogs who warn urgent monitoring and research into the problem is required.

Thousands of pre-production plastic pellets - known colloquially as nurdles - have been found throughout the waterway and on beaches as far south as Mornington, Dromana and Sorrento.

And, there’s every reason to fear that beaches closer to the city - such as Chelsea, Mordialloc and Mentone – have been harder hit.

The tiny pellets – usually between 3-5 millimetres in diameter – are petrochemical products that are poured into moulds and melted down at factories everywhere to form virtually everything made from plastic.

But, increasing numbers of the pellets are escaping into the environment where they pose a deadly threat to wildlife.

Port Phillip Eco Centre director Neil Blake – who is speaking at Mordialloc next week - said birds and fish often mistook the pellets for food, which often resulted in starvation and also meant toxins they contained were entering the food chain.

“Research has proven that the pellets absorb other toxins,” he said.

“They’re then swallowed by birds and

fish, and enter the food chain, which is a serious concern.”

Mordialloc Creek’s course through the busy Braeside and Dandenong factory belts would likely provide a greater source of the tiny pollutants.

Mr Blake, who also heads the Baykeeper education and advocacy program, said safety procedures at industrial plants were clearly inadequate, and research and monitoring efforts by marine groups to track nurdles were in their infancy. He has begun conducting nurdle surveys at Port Phillip beaches, in parallel with an existing seashell survey program run by Baykeeper, and recently visited Mornington, Dromana and Sorrento. He will now spread his message further north.

“We found a number of them at these locations, which is a concern because they would have escaped from production facilities far away in the city and further inland,” he said.

“They may be washing into Bass Strait as well, so that’s a situation we really need to continue to monitor.

“Our suspicion is that the volume of this form of pollutant is incremental and ongoing, which brings into question the management practices being employed by industry from where they’re escaping.

“At this stage we don’t really know how significant the problem is, but the evidence to date certainly rings alarm bells. We need to continue monitoring the situation to build a more compre-

hensive picture over an extended period. We need to gain a fuller picture of exactly how significant the issue is.”

Mr Blake has issued a call to arms for Chelsea and Mordialloc “beach lovers” to sign up and hit the front lines in the battle to turn the tide on pollution in Port Phillip.

He said there was an urgent need for more volunteers to begin ongoing surveys at local beaches to help monitor pollution and water health. Volunteers need to spend only 20-30 minutes a week at a single location on an ongoing basis.

“We need citizen science to help build a clearer understanding of these trends,” he said. “We really need ongoing monitoring and observation,

especially now that there are far fewer professional marine scientists being employed to study Port Phillip.”

Baykeepers has been conducting regular and ongoing shellfish surveys at bay beaches for the past six years, which has helped build an ongoing profile of its health. “Shellfish play a vital role in recycling nutrients entering waterways, so the shellfish population provides a good indication of the health of Port Phillip,” Mr Blake said.

To register an interest in surveys, email Neil Blake via www.bay-keeper. com n Neil Blake will speak at the Mordialloc Neighbourhood House, 457 Main St, on Wednesday 21 May 21 at 7pm.

All welcome.

Mr Andrews said the ALP would resolve the paramedics’ pay dispute if it won government at the November state poll.

“We would refer the matter to the independent umpire, Fair Work Australia, to property determine the pay rise required to bring paramedics’ pay in line with other states,” he said.

“This war on paramedics by the Napthine government has to end.”

Ambulance Victoria has offered an upfront wage increase of 6 per cent, followed by two further increases of 3 per cent. Paramedics have also been offered a sign-on bonus of $1500 to the new enterprise bargaining agreement.

The Ambulance Employees Association rejected the offer late last year.

Last month, the Tasmanian Industrial Commission decided paramedics in that state should receive a 14.1 per cent pay rise.

Back row from left are umpire Joan Scerrl, Stephanie Aarsman, Ashlea Foot (coach), Sarah Bechaz, Jess Rolls, Gaby Sharpe, Tess Ryrie and Adele Ulbrick; Front from left, Lauren Howlett, Kiah Stewart and Jess Hudson.

Pink power achieves goal SPORT of all sorts from AFL footy, to horse racing and netball added a splash of pink over the weekend to raised awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer.

Chelsea Football Netball Club co-ordinator Lisa Donnellan said the players were proud of their efforts to helped raise awareness of women’s cancer by wearing pink ribbons for all their games.

Their message of the pink crusade is simple: One in every nine Australian

women will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85.

It could be a mother, sister, aunt, cousin, niece or friend.

Whoever they are, one thing they have in common is that they’ll need our help and support.

Publicity for the Pink day helps raise money and awareness of the problems faced by all women afflicted by breast cancer through prevention programs, support services and worldclass research.

VOLUNTEER visitors are “lighting up the lives’’ of elderly residents in aged care homes who often don’t have any other friends or family.

And the benefits flow both ways: the volunteers often feel that they have gained a worthwhile friend as well.

The community visitors’ scheme, run by Central Bayside Community Health Services, aims to enrich the quality of life of residents of the facilities who are often socially isolated any downright lonely. They just love the frequent visits by their new-found friends.

The volunteers also help link residents with their community, talking about local events and what their neighbours are up to.

Take the case of volunteer Paul Cerolini and aged care resident John Fortune, for instance. The pair has formed a strong friendship with Paul telling the volunteer program’s coordinator, Gail Lynch: “I can’t believe how much I enjoy visiting John. He’s become a great mate.’’

And that’s understandable. The former city publican has many amusing tales to tell of his time working at The Phoenix hotel in Flinders Street, opposite the former Herald and Sun newspapers. Many of the town’s characters would drop in for a drink at all hours, and gossip was almost as popular a tipple as the cold beer.

The gregarious John absorbed it all, storing away tidbits that enthrall his appreciative audience.

Paul and John, 92, like to chat and go on outings. They have recently started tracing John’s relatives through the internet, hoping to track down family

members. It’s become a pastime they both enjoy.

Ms Lynch said many elderly residents found it difficult to establish new friendships, and often spent minimal time in simple, friendly conversation with others. They often shied away from contact with ‘’all the oldies’’ around them but visits by their friendly volunteer ‘mates’.

Ms Lynch said the community ‘’desperately needed’’ enthusiastic volunteer visitors who are then carefully matched with an aged care resident. ‘’We are short of our target. We need around 97 more, so we are not meeting demand.’’

And, she said, with our ageing popu-

lation, the need for volunteers will only become greater.

Ms Lynch said frequent visits were best, doing something both people enjoyed, such as having a chat, listening to music, going on an outing – whatever friends do.

“The volunteers open what I call a door full of sunshine. Even when they go away on holidays they send postcards of where they are.

“I’ve been here a long time and this is one of the best programs I have come across.’’

The Central Bayside Community Health services area extends from Brighton to Seaford, with 43 aged care facilities in the area.

Give an hour, get a smile.

An hour a fortnight is all it takes to make a lonely person happy – imagine that!

You can help ease an older person's feeling of isolation and loneliness, and understand the magic of friendship. Come and join our fantastic team of volunteers.

“ “Sophie and Dorothy – their friendship is a superpower that is ageless.”

Central Bayside Community Health Services Community Visitors Scheme welcomes people interested in becoming a volunteer to visit residents in aged care homes in the Brighton to Seaford areas.

If you would like to share a little bit of your time to help someone feel happier, healthier and better connected, then this position is for you.

Long road for a fair go in TAC battle AN elderly Seaford man who had a heart attack after being hit by a car has won a long-running battle with the Transport Accident Commission.

Anton Geitenbeek, pictured right, was preparing to go to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to convince the TAC his heart attack was the result of the accident - and not due to an underlying medical condition.

For 16 months the TAC refused to pay for the 83-year-old’s heart surgery and associated costs, prompting the grandfather to take legal action.

Slater & Gordon motor vehicle accident lawyer Stuart Le Grand said the TAC had now agreed to ‘’do the right thing’’ and compensate his elderly client.

“This is a fantastic result for Anton and means he can now focus on his recovery rather than being forced to prepare a case for trial,” Mr Le Grand said. “It’s a pity it took so long to get to this point.”

Mr Geitenbeek was struck by a car while crossing the Nepean Highway near his home in May 2012.

He was knocked unconscious and taken by ambulance to The Alfred hospital with leg and facial injuries.

While being treated in the emergency department, Mr Geitenbeek had a heart attack. He later underwent a quadruple bypass and had a pacemaker inserted.

Relieved: Anton Geitenbeek is glad he did not have to go to court. Picture: Yanni

The TAC found it was reasonable to pay for Mr Geitenbeek’s angiogram but not his operation and other related costs - despite medical evidence showing it was highly probable he would not have required bypass surgery had it not been for the accident.

Welcoming the TAC turnaround, Mr Geitenbeek said: “I am relieved that at my age I do not have to go to court.”

THERE was plenty of good news for Kingston in the Coalition’s big spending state budget, but the positives may be overshadowed by predicted negative knock-on effects from the government’s public transport overhaul.

Despite the largesse, there were few surprises for the Mordialloc and Carrum electorates in Tuesday’s budget announcement, with details of most big-ticket initiatives having already been revealed.

Liberal MP for Mordialloc said a raft of multi-million dollar investments announced in the 2014-15 state budget would deliver better services and enhance infrastructure for Kingston families and businesses. These included $21 million to build Southland Station, $10.6 million to plan for the Mordialloc Bypass (Mornington Peninsula Freeway extension), $1.3 million to upgrade Mordialloc College, $1.2 million for Aspendale Gardens Primary School, and $457,000 for improvements to Mentone Park Primary School.

“I am particularly pleased with the funding for the Mordialloc Bypass and local schools,” Ms Wreford said.

“The bypass funds allow us to do the pre-construction work to extend the Mornington Peninsula Freeway from Aspendale Gardens to Heatherton.It will relieve Wells Road, White Street,

Nepean Highway and other roads of significant congestion.”

Budget announcements for the Carrum electorate, which is held by fellow Liberal Party MP Donna Bauer, included $8.2 million to fix the Wedge Road/ Frankston Dandenong Road intersection, $1 million for Patterson River Secondary College, $340,000 for Bonbeach Primary School and $300,000 for Kananook Primary School.

Mrs Bauer also highlighted changes to public transport ticketing, which will provide Zone 1 + 2 travel for the price of a Zone 1 fare and save daily commuters to the city around $1200 a year.

She said the new funding commitments built upon previously announced initiatives, including $156 million to construct the Dingley Bypass, $100 million for the Bayside Rail Improvement Project, $6 million to dredge and rejuvenate Mordialloc Creek, $7.5 million for works at Parkdale Secondary College, $1.5 million to develop the Parkdale Integrated Childrens’ Hub, $500,000 to upgrade Carrum Lifesaving Club, and $430,000 for Patterson River boating facilities.

“The Victorian Coalition Government has committed a record $27 billion for significant infrastructure to build a better Victoria, delivering growth, jobs and opportunity across the state,” Mrs Bauer said.

“I am particularly thrilled that three more schools in my electorate will be able to significantly improve facilities thanks to some major funding an-

nouncements.”

But she made no mention of the Coalition government’s public transport showpiece, the $11 billion Melbourne Rail Link project, which emerged as the biggest talking point for Kingston from the budget announcement.

Critics have labelled the plan a “disaster” that would add an extra 20 minutes travel time each way for Frankston line passengers going to or from the city.

ALP candidate for Mordialloc Tim Richardson it was difficult to fathom the reasoning behind the Napthine government’s decision to dump the proposed Melbourne Metro rail plan and replace it with an “inferior plan that they’ve thought up at the last minute”.

He also condemned the Coalition’s “destruction” of the TAFE system, the running down of hospitals, schools and the police force, and the deepening jobs crisis. “Denis Napthine is spending $124 million less on TAFE,” he said.

“Courses have been cut and campuses have closed. This is the worst time to cut TAFE funding with the economy struggling and youth unemployment at an all-time high.

“This budget spends twice as much on prison beds than hospital beds. But at the same time, Denis Napthine and the Liberals have taken police off our streets.”

Mr Richardson added that effects of tstate and federal budget cuts and fee hikes would be especially hard on pensioners. “Cutting funds, privatising facilities, reducing the aged pension – the Liberal Party keeps putting our seniors last.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mrs Swords turns 94, Ned Towers dies after “internal trouble” Compiled by Cameron McCullough From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 16 May 1914 Mr S. S. Price, surgeon dentist, will be at Nurse Jackson’s Private Hospital, Frankston on Sunday next (tomorrow.) *** The Book Committee of the Dromana Library have arranged with “Mullens” for a supply of new books monthly. *** Members and intending members of the Frankston Choral Society are invited to the annual meeting on Monday next at the Mechanics’ Hall.

A good programme, ping pong tournament, and supper. *** Major and Mrs C. W. Campbell returned to Amesfisld Park last Saturday after an interesting motor tour throughout Australia. We expect in a future issue to chronicle some in interesting particulars of the tour. *** An important unreserved clearing sale will be conducted by Messrs Brody and Mason at Ann Villa, Wells Street, Frankston on Wednesday next, 20th May, when they will offer the superior furniture etc of Mrs A. Harris, who is leaving the district. Full particulars are advertised. *** Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure, For Coughs and Colds, never fails, 1s 6d. *** The well known business of Messrs A. Nunn and Sons, general merchants, of Mornington, has been purchased by Mr Higgs, of Melbourne, who intends carrying on the business under the same lines and with the

same staff as his predecessors, and the general public can depend upon receiving the same attention and courtesy as hither to. *** At the recent musical examinations for the degree of D.M.S.V., Miss Dorie Overton, pupil of Miss Olive Sherlock D.M.S.V., was successful in obtaining the highest honours out of over 200 competitors. Miss Sherlock is to be congratulated upon her student obtaining such a high degree of proficiency. *** At a meeting of the Board of Management of the Melbourne Ragged Boys’ Home Mission held last week in Melbourne, Mr J. B. Jolly, of Frankston, headed the poll, and was elected to the Council of the institution. We learn that Mr Jolly intends to move that a local committee be appointed to assist in the management of the Seaside Home at Frankston. *** The Dromana Presbyterian Church, which has been closed for a fortnight, has in the meantime been painted inside and out. The old residents will be pleased to hear that the Rev J. Barnaby, (who is a local product, and one of the foremost preachers in Melbourne), will conduct the reopening services at Dromana on Sunday next, morning and evening. A good congregation is expected. *** Mr Fred Taylor, the manager of the Frankston Motor Garage Proprietary Ltd has taken up his duties at the garage at Frankston. Extra cars are being installed by the company at Frankston, whilst a car will also be

stationed at Mornington and Chelsea respectively, and later on, other towns of the Peninsula will be given cars.

To the order of the company, two “Grant” cars are at present in transit to Australia. *** An American saloon worker was trying to persuade an Irishman to vote for the saloon by using the threadbare argument that if you close up the saloon and cut off the revenue, it will be necessary to close the public schools.

“And then what will your boy do for an education ?” “I’d rather have my born learn his A B C in heaven than to be able to read Latin in Hell.”

“Ned” Towers, who was a land holder in the Langwarrin district, and highly respected for his sterling worth and unassuming ways, died suddenly in Melbourne lately, having been unsuccessfully operated on for some internal trouble.

*** The second of the series of winter socials in connection with Frankston St. Paul’s Club was held on Wednesday evening in the Mechanics’ Hall. The weather was rather boisterous which, no doubt, accounted for the rather small attendance.

Westernport, Mornington, Crib Point Bittern, Balnarring and Moorooduc. It was resolved that a federated association be formed, the objects being to support the development of railways, postal and telephone services, roads, water supply, foreshores, ports and harbours, etc. The following resolution was carried unanimously “That the federated progress associations emphatically protests against any departure from Admiral Henderson’s programme as affecting the Flinders naval base, such as the proposed deferring provision for floating dock, and the carrying out of repairs to destroyers at Williamstown, instead of at the base.” *** The football season opened in earnest in the Peninsula on Saturday last, when the weather was all that could be desired. At Somerville last year’s premiers were defeated by the home team after a strenuous match, while Dromana accounted for Frankston at Dromana. Tyabb were at home to Mornington, who defeated them by a substantial majority. Spectators should witness some interesting football before the season closes. *** Shire of Frankston and Hastings - Notice to ratepayers to pay rates. Ratepayers are hereby notified that, in order to be placed on this year’s Voters Roll, all Rates must be paid on or before 10th June. Interest at the rate of 6 percent will be charged on all accounts not paid on that date, and legal proceedings will be taken for their recovery without further notice. Dog fees and Pan fees must also be paid on or before 10th June.

*** “Ned” Towers, who was a land holder in the Langwarrin district, and highly respected for his sterling worth and unassuming ways, died suddenly in Melbourne lately, having been unsuccessfully operated on for some internal trouble. *** Mrs J. W. Swords, of “Victoria Villa” Dandenong, celebrated her 94th birthday lately. Born at Nenagh, Ireland, in 1820, Mrs Swords was married there to her late husband by the Lord Bishop of Killaloe 1840.

Soon afterwards the couple sailed for Australia, leaving Liverpool in the sailing ship Theresa, and arrived in Port Phillip after a trying voyage of six months. For several years she resided at Port and pulled the first impression of “The Port and Guardian”, the first newspaper published in Victoria, outside of Melbourne. Her late husband conducted “The Guardian” for some years. Messrs F. W. and H. Swords, of “The Dandenong Advertiser,” are sons. Mrs Swords is naturally becoming feeble, and the annual festival, which in the past was attended by a large gathering of relatives, was this year restricted to a small family reunion. Mrs Swords is a well known resident of the Frankston district, having resided here for a number of years, during which time she took a great deal of interest in school matters. *** A conference of representatives of the Progress Associations of the Peninsula was held at Bittern on Monday evening last. Delegates from the following associations were present:

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

From boysenberry to men

By Stuart McCullough FROM a young age, I wanted to be older. I expressed this deep-held desire in a range of ways, including a brief period during primary school in which I dressed like a Cockney shoeshine, complete with flat-cap. I was, of course, a complete fraud. I may have looked like I could give your shoes a spit and polish at a moment’s notice but, in truth, I rarely cleaned my own shoes much less someone else’s. Besides, it’s hard to polish gumboots to a satisfactory standard. But I didn’t only dress as though I was much older; I frequently tried to eat beyond my years also. I have been making up for it ever since.

I am a hopeless sweet tooth. In fact, despite not being entirely straight and suffering a variety of flaws too numerous to mention, my teeth are possibly the sweetest thing about me. Not that it’s my fault. I come from a family of committed sweet teeth. Even my father, whose original teeth were replaced sometime back in the 1950s, still has a sweet tooth. It’s something that stays with you for life.

People commonly toss around the term ‘chocoholic’ lightly, as though it was some kind of joke but, frankly, those people have no idea what it is to be hopelessly enslaved to the brown stuff. Were I ever to win a Golden Ticket, I would have to be restrained.

Like Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs, I would be bound in a straitjacket with a metal grill over my mouth and wheeled across the thresh-

old by Willy Wonka himself. Sadly, only that kind of brutal security would be enough to prevent me from going absolutely berserk from the first moment I set foot in the Chocolate Room.

Left to my own devices, I would surely make Augustus Gloop look like the very height of restraint as I guzzled, gulped and pretty much stuffed my face from a variety of angles until

being tasered by an Oompa Loompa.

But despite my fondness for the sweet stuff, when in public I was conscious of displaying restraint. I didn’t want the world at large to know that I had a sweet tooth that had managed to work its way through the rest of my body. When at a restaurant, my natural instinct would be to order chocolate spaghetti and hang the consequences.

As for choosing an ice cream, I would be drawn to the double chocolate fudge-tastic as surely as a mosquito to a blue light zapper. But despite these deep urges, I would resist. Instead, I would consciously select the most grown-up thing on the menu I could think of.

For decades, I chose things I wasn’t particularly interested in eating, all for the sake of creating the illusion of being more grown up. Generations of waiters and waitresses must have puzzled at the fact that I always looked slightly disappointed whenever I was served a meal. This was especially true of whenever our family went out and ate pancakes.

The restaurant had a kids’ menu full of wonderful pancake options, most of which lavished generous serves of chocolate in one form or another. I, of course, was duty bound to resist.

Instead, I trawled through the adult menu looking for something that suggested that I was deeply sophisticated and mature far beyond my tender years. For reasons that are now unclear, I thought that boysenberry sent just the right message.

Truth be told, I did not know then what a boysenberry was. It simply sounded exotic. I knew of no one who grew them and imagined that they were from some far-off land. It reminded me of the snozzberries on the lickable wallpaper in Willy Wonka’s foyer. I believed then that the boysenberry and snozzberry could well be related. In truth, a boysenberry is some-

thing of a mutant – a cross between a raspberry and a blackberry. I’d even go so far as to say that the boysenberry is the ‘Liger’ of the berry world (ask Napoleon Dynamite).

Ironically, at that time blackberries were my sworn enemy. That’s because they grew in plague proportions down in the back paddock and I spent nearly ninety percent of my time – including when I ought to have been at school – pulling out thorny blackberry bushes with my bare hands. This accounts, I feel, for my present-day aversion to anything resembling manual labour.

But I was blissfully unaware that whilst I did battle with blackberries on a daily basis and regarded them as nothing more than a weed, I was ordering its illegitimate offspring on my pancakes in place of my one true love – chocolate.

I have long since given up pretending to be sophisticated. Once, I always wore a dinner suit complete with a bow tie to ‘casual clothes’ days. Now I’m unlikely to wear anything without an elasticised waist. Gone, too, is the desire to be older than I am. Time has taken care of that.

These days I am just as likely to order boysenberries as I am to dress like a Cockney shoeshine. My abiding affair with chocolate, however, continues unabated. It’s strange to see which things persist into adulthood and which things fall away. Boysenberries may come and go. Chocolate is forever. www.stuartmccullough.com

Doggies are the real deal PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt Mornington proved it has taken the next step and is a real challenger for the 2014 Peninsula League premiership after smashing reigning premiers Edithvale-Aspendale by more than six goals.

Despite trailing by a point at the halfway mark of the clash, the Dogs booted nine goals to three in the second half to record a comfortable 18.13 (121) to 12.13 (85) victory.

It was a highly entertaining game. It was free flowing with plenty of skills on display.

The Doggies have been suspect when they have been challenged in the past but on Saturday, when the heat needed to be turned up, it was the home side that came to the fore.

The introduction of Dale and Danny Nolan into the team, along with man mountain Michael Gay, cannot be underestimated.

Dale Nolan has booted 13 goals in his past three matches, including five on the weekend. He has 17 for the season.

His brother Danny is controlling the engine room and is damaging when he runs forward also.

Danny Nolan has been in the best players three times in his five matches and has booted goals in all but one match.

Anthony Simpson was at his best for the Dogs on the weekend. Chris Paxino wound back the clock with a best on field performance and Chris Baker once again proved how valuable he is to this team.

Despite the experience and recruits, the Dogs also had the likes of teenagers Jake Smart and James Fletcher running around. Will Goosey wouldn’t be far away either. There’s a nice blend.

With wins against both grand finalists from last year, the Doggies now need to set new goals of finishing in the top three. Simply playing finals is no longer good enough for this team.

Bonbeach swung the ledger back into their own favour on Saturday when they held off a fast finishing Langwarrin to win a thriller 12.9 (81) to 11.11 (77).

The Sharks have won their past two matches against previously undefeated teams in YCW and now the Kangaroos.

They are starting to get all of their stars on the park together and they are beginning to have an impact on the contest.

On Saturday when the game needed to be won, Travis Johnstone stood up, along with Paul Rebeschini and Shane McDonald.

Matt Clifford was clearly the best player on the ground while Jackson Casey and Mark Tyrell were also dominant.

The Sharks lost Josh Bull early in the game, which meant all of the ruck duties were left up to Dylan Jones. Langwarrin also lost their number one ruckman Matt Naughton for most of the second half as a ruck option.

Langwarrin didn’t hit the front at any stage in the match, although they did draw level on several occasions.

Bonbeach kicked the first two goals of every quarter, except for the last, which always gave them a buffer.

The Kangas would fight their way back but the Sharks had the answers.

The home side peppered the goals in the last quarter (1.4 to 0.2) but just couldn’t get over the line.

Sean Herdman was very good for the Kangas with three goals while Liam Hogan did lots of work around the ball.

Skipper Scott Sienkiewicz was also dominant.

The experience of the Sharks, the confidence in their own ability and that

of their teammates and their composure under pressure couldn’t be underestimated.

They won the contested footy and their work rate and intensity was high.

Langwarrin wanted to play fast flowing footy and Bonbeach wanted it in close. The difference in the end was that Bonbeach controlled the tempo of the game for longer periods. Langwarrin also lacks a big, strong forward.

Matty Dimkos is the answer there.

Frankston YCW bounced back on Saturday, getting the job done against a winless Seaford, 16.12 (108) to 9.8 (62).

The Tigers had lost three games by less than two goals leading up to this clash however, on Saturday, they just couldn’t get close enough to the Stonecats to strike, despite leading at the first change.

Jai Coghlan was arguably the best player on the ground while Lachy Wallace was a welcome return.

Ben Crowe was outstanding for the Tigers, while Dylan Crump was again in great form.

Karingal booted more than one goal for the first time in three matches on Saturday, kicking three against Pines.

The Bulls booted three goals in the

opening half and four in the second hour, however, still went down 7.6 (48) to 18.16 (124).

Shaun White booted five for Pines in a best on field performance while Luke Houldcroft, Dale Tedge and Jamie Messina with three goals were outstanding. Jack Wheeler also played his best game for the club.

George Angelopoulos, Brad Groenendyk and Michael Burke were the best of the Bulls.

It took until the last quarter for Mt Eliza to shake-off a persistent Chelsea on Saturday, eventually winning 11.20 (86) to 10.14 (74).

Despite having seven more scoring shots, the Mounties needed to boot five goals to three in the final term to get the four points.

Tim Strickland booted four goals in a match winning performance for the Redlegs, while Ben Lean and Sam Gill were also dominant.

Kristian Harper was named Chelsea’s best in only his second game while Zach Graham was outstanding his first senior game.

There’s a lot to like about the way Cheslea are progressing. The Redlegs on the other hand have a lot of work to do.

Magpies keep flying high, remain undefeated NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt CRIB Point maintained its position as the only undefeated side in the competition with a 23 point victory over Rye in Nepean League football on Saturday.

The Pies were jumped in the opening term, trailing by 20 points at the first change, however as they have done so often in the opening five games of the season, they stormed back into the contest to lead at half time.

Glenn Boyd is really starting to find his mojo and he finished with four on the weekend for the Pies, while another recruit, Brad Arnold, played his best game for the black and white. Luke Herrington and Jon Flack continue to relish the fact that they are not the only players for the opposition to worry about these days. They were both outstanding, as was Jack Johnson, who booted three goals.

A four goal to three third quarter set up the win for the Pies, kicking 16 points clear before recording a 17.12 (114) to 14.7 (91) win. Accuracy in front of goal really did keep Rye in the contest.

Aaron Findlay made it eight goals in two matches for the Demons with another four on Saturday, while Matty Siberas, Ben Cain and Jai Lloyd were outstanding.

Rosebud is in a spot of bother after losing its fourth match for the season against Red Hill on Saturday.

The Buds led at quarter time by 22 points and by 15 points at half time.

However, Red Hill’s leg speed was the difference in the second half, booting eight goals to three to win 12.12 (90) to 11.3 (69). Twenty-five scoring shots to 14 for the match and 15 to four in the second half really did highlight the Hillmen’s domination after half time.

PAGE 26

Letting it slip: Hastings were defeated by Sorrento after leading at every change.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

Jarryd Douglas booted four for the Hillmen while the leg speed of Dylan Neal was a highlight of the match. Peter Dal Lago and Jarred Eames also provided that high level experience when the game needed to be won.

Greg Bentley worked tirelessly for the Buds, as did Sam Kremeich in a run with role, while Tom Baker was good up front with three goals.

The Hillmen maintained their second position on the ladder with four wins

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 14 May 2014

and one loss. Rosebud has slumped to ninth and is now two games and 30 per cent outside of the top five.

The Buds must win all of their next four matches against Tyabb, Devon Meadows, Somerville and Frankston Bombers to have any chance of playing finals football this season.

Somerville won its third straight game after a shaky start to the season, leading all afternoon to beat Devon Meadows.

The Eagles should have put the Panthers to the sword in the second quarter, however, kicked 3.7 to 3.2 to let the opposition off the hook.

However, the visitors dominated in the third term, booting 4.6 to 2.2 to set-up a match winning 22 point buffer at the final change.

The Panthers did come back in the final quarter however Somerville hung-on to win a low scoring contest, 10.18 (78) to 10.9 (69).

Josh Collie continued his brilliant form for the Eagles with three goals while Daniel Dickinson, Justin Allsop and Timmy Hirst were integral in the win.

James Bow was up to his old tricks with six goals for the Panthers, while Pat Harmes and Daniel Watson were also fine contributors.

In better news for the Panthers, Alex Doria, Stef Baumgartner and Brian Wapshot all played well in the reserves, while Beau Miller should be back this week or after the bye. The Panthers have also lured the mercurial Andre Young from Cranbourne, who will be important in the back half of the season.

Devon Meadows remains in the top five despite the loss.

A last quarter fade-out saw Hastings go down to Sorrento by 17 points at David McFarlane Reserve.

The Blues led by eight points at quarter time, two points at the main break and by three points at the final change. However, with the home crowd on their side, the Sharks dominated the final term, booting 4.8 to three goals to win 13.19 (97) to 11.8 (74).

Leigh Poholke made it 16 goals in two matches with seven goals on Saturday, while Trevor Mattison and James Hallahan once again set up the win with their run through the middle.

Dan Noble plonked himself as a

permanent forward and was rewarded with five goals while Steven Robb finally got his opportunity after dominating in the reserves and was arguably Hastings’ best. Colin McVeigh and Daniel Wishart continued their brilliant starts to the season.

The Blues are only a game and three per cent outside of the top five.

Dromana continues to sneak under the radar, notching up its fourth win for the season, this time against Frankston Bombers.

The Tigers are in third place on the table however, with all the talk surrounding the new kids on the block in Crib Point and Red Hill, as well as the slump of Rosebud, people are not talking about Dromana.

On Saturday, the Tigers extended their lead at every change, winning 16.16 (112) to 7.17 (59).

Anthony Bruhn finished with seven goals for the Tigers while Daniel Guerts and Jack Fowler played integral roles in the domination.

Shaun Brand and Jeremy Waixel were the best of the Bombers, while Sam Drake was back and playing good footy.

In the final game, Pearcedale displayed some of its best football for the season, beating Tyabb 26.15 (171) to 14.12 (96).

In a free-flowing contest, the Panthers set-up the win with an 11 goal to one second quarter. They booted 12 goals to seven in the second half.

Basil Sibosado and Pat Cadd each finished with five goals for the Panthers while Troy Jacobson and Dylan Hoare were dominant.

Jake Anderson booted three goals and was Tyabb’s best player, while Shane Waterstone and Justin Volk were among their team’s best yet again.
