THE spiritual leader of a mosque in Langwarrin has warned his congregation to not overreact to any anti-Islamic intimidation.

Imam Syed Wadood Janud said he wanted to raise “general awareness [for them] to be careful and proceed with caution”.

His message followed a phone call from police at Carrum Downs advising mosque administrators to “be alert to any possible backlash” over the shooting of a young Muslim man outside the Endeavour Hills police station.

Police allege Numan Haider was shot dead last Tuesday night after stabbing two police officers who had arranged to meet him outside the police station.

Imam Janud, of the Ahmadiyya Centre Melbourne, said police wanted members of his congregation to be alert to any threats or intimidation against them.

Coincidentally, at about the same time that the shooting and stabbings occurred at Endeavour Hills, the mosque’s press and media co-ordinator Aziz Bhatti was threatened while waiting at traffic lights in Frankston.

Mr Bhatti said a carload of youths pulled up alongside his vehicle at the corner of Davey St and Nepean Highway and then tried to ram him after he turned into the highway.

“They tried to hit my car and started

yelling at me,” he said. “I picked up my phone as if calling the police and they sped off.

“I have a beard and I believe it may have provoked them. This has never happened to me before.”

Mr Bhatti, 32, and other family members fled Pakistan five years ago after his father was kidnapped and killed.

They belong to the minority Ahmadiyya sect which faces widespread persecution within the Muslim world.

Mr Bhatti is one of many thousands of Ahmadiyyans to leave Pakistan since its government declared their sect non-Muslim.

Imam Janud, who grew up in Adelaide after arriving there with his family when he was four, said members of the Ahmadiyya sect believe in peace and harmony and respect for the laws of the country where they live.

The first Ahmadiyyans arrived in Australia about 100 years ago, but the sect had only become “more functional and administrative” in the past 35 years.

There are about 5000 Ahmadiyyans in Australia, 1000 in Victoria.

The Langwarrin centre (formally known as Bait-ul-Salam or House of Peace), is the sect’s state headquarters.

Imam Janud said the sect’s concentration on “building bridges” and living in peace and harmony with the Australian community conformed with true Islamic faith.

Council, Shaw bounced on basketball Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A ROW has erupted over Napthine government funding for Frankston community projects amid claims the state government is not consulting project partners and is short changing the city.

Independent Frankston MP Geoff Shaw and Frankston Council are upset the Coalition state government has not notified them about funding announcements before making them public despite their involvement.

Premier Denis Napthine arrived in Frankston at short notice last Sunday to announce $2.5 million of state funding to “kick start” a $13m redevelopment of Frankston Basketball Stadium (‘Basketball stadium gets boost’, The Times 22/9/2014).

The Premier was accompanied by Liberal candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead and Carrum MP Donna Bauer as he declared the project a “priority”.

Frankston mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, who failed to win preselection as the Liberal candidate for Frankston, missing out to Mr Armistead, said council had not been informed about the announcement before it occurred and questioned what the $2.5m could be used for.

“Two independent reports have identified a figure of about $13 million required for stage one [of the redevelopment],” he said.

“Council can’t afford to put in the lion’s share and $2.5m is nowhere near the mark… all they’re doing is

sending out false hope to the Frankston basketball community.”

Mr Shaw said he and his staff had been involved in securing funding for the basketball stadium.

“We have been integrally involved in achieving the $2.5m for Frankston Basketball’s facility expansion, including visits by the Treasurer to our office in Frankston and multiple one-on-one conversations to specifically discuss this,” Mr Shaw said.

“For council and I to not even be invited to an announcement of funding which we’ve been directly involved is a pathetic cheap shot.”

Tensions between former Liberal MP Mr Shaw and the Napthine government have been running high of late,

but State Treasurer Michael O’Brien noted in parliament earlier this month that the Frankston MP had been “a strong advocate” for the project despite the basketball stadium’s location in the Carrum electorate.

Mr O’Brien also praised Mrs Bauer’s advocacy for the redevelopment and noted Frankston Council had done “considerable work” towards an expansion of basketball facilities at the stadium.

Elsewhere, on Wednesday last week, Mr Armistead and Sports Minister Damian Drum turned up at Frankston Bowls Club to announce $70,000 in state funding for a new clubhouse roof and verandah repairs.

Mr Shaw said the bowls club had ap-

proached his office for help when it became apparent it did not have enough money for vital repairs.

Frankston Bowls Club president Craig Williams said the funding was “great news”.

“Without the support of Geoff and the team, these construction projects would not be going ahead,” Mr Williams said.

Cr Taylor said it was disappointing council had not been consulted on the Premier’s basketball stadium funding announcement beforehand.

“It’s left us baffled… this is what the Speak Up For Frankston campaign is all about,” he said.

Council is seeking $38.5m for sports and recreation, including the basket-

ball stadium upgrades, as part of its campaign to lobby both major political parties in the lead up to November’s state election.

Frankston Council said the $2.5m pledged by the state government is $1.5m short of the $4m needed from each level of government - federal, state and council. The Frankston District Basketball Association will contribute $1m to stage 1 stadium development.

“We have been open and honest on this front from the beginning,” Cr Taylor said.

“Near enough isn’t good enough. If each organisation doesn’t pitch in the funding needed, then we will not be in a position to make the upgrades.

“It is important to add, however, that we have received no funding commitment from the Labor Party or any other candidate to this important project for the tens of thousands of people who use this facility.”

A spokesman for the Premier said Mr Shaw had not been invited since he is not the member for Carrum and is not a member of the government.

He said council could announce its portion of the funding whenever it chooses.

“We said the $2.5m will kick start the development. The FDBA is confident it can begin stage 1 with state government funds, its own funds and funds from council.

“Stage 1 is expected to include refurbishment of existing facilities and new courts.”

Mr Armistead did not return calls from The Times.

This dog trainer means business Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au SIDNEY Aarons stands in a small paddock in Pearcedale, feet apart, swinging a tennis ball tied to a piece of string around his head.

In front of him is a scorched piece of ground littered with springs and nuts and bolts, all that remains of a pile of burnt furniture.

At his feet, keenly watching the swinging ball is Logan, a Belgian shepherd, or malinois. The string is pulled tight and the ball retreats to Aarons’s hand.

Logan immediately turns his attention the blackened earth. Eagerly sniffing the charcoal and debris, the dog zig zags, finally dropping to a crouch, nose pressed against a piece of burnt wood.

Aarons strides into the blackened area, tosses the ball into the dog’s mouth and triumphantly retrieves the piece of charcoal. It’s the same one that retains faint traces of the petrol it was once dipped in to start the fire.

Logan is an arson dog, trained to sniff out the remains of an accelerant that may have been used to deliberately light a fire.

Aarons assures me that insurance companies in the United States pay millions of dollars to equip fire brigades with dogs that can provide evidence that a fire was deliberately lit. He says the dogs have proved their worth, saving many millions in insurance payouts.

His interest in training dogs goes back to when he was 10 and attended

Sniff test: Arson dog Logan searches for accelerant in the remains of a fire while dog trainer Sidney Aarons looks on.

Knox Obedience Club with a German short-haired pointer puppy: “We both failed miserably.”

Undeterred, he went to own a succession of dogs while growing up – a boxer that was “as goofy as all boxers”, rottweilers and another that was “problematic, chewing things, barking and pulling clothes off the line”.

Aarons, then 24, and the dog went to school. The dog to learn how to behave and Aarons, after reading an advertisement in a newsletter, to become a trainer.

He moved into shows (obedience, tracking, trials), liking the social side of things but not the club politics.

“Then, I focussed on becoming a self-employed dog trainer.”

If he was driving down the street and spotted someone being taken for a

walk by their dog, Aarons would pull over, hand them a card while saying “I can fix that for $60”.

Pretty soon he had a business, which eventually led to being resident dog trainer on the award-winning Channel 31 program Hound TV. The high profile that followed the TV show has seen him set up Sidney Aarons Professional Dog Training in Pearcedale, where he boards and trains dogs.

Training Belgian shepherds for police or army work has become a speciality. Seven dogs trained to sniff out arson, drugs and money and “men trailing” went to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

Those for the army trained for “tactical response, find and bite” were shipped out to Afghanistan “but might

now be in Syria”. These “dual purpose” dogs can also sniff out bombs and weapons. Aarons says he enjoys the challenge of being asked to train a dog for a particular skill.

He is now negotiating with primary schools to run safety talks, teaching children how to approach a dog.

The Keep Your Kid Safe lessons will cover dog body language (“if a dog’s lunging on the lead it’s obviously not under the control of its owner”) and what to do if approached by a dog.

“We’ve had a good response [from schools]. The kids most at risk of being attacked by dogs are under 12, making up 80 per cent of those that get bitten. And 90 per cent of those are bitten by the family dog.”

Aarons says children “really take the message home” to parents, citing the success of school anti-smoking campaigns.

“There are some dogs that can’t be trained, but you can teach an old dog new tricks, it’s just harder after they’re about three and a half years.”

Aarons says “socialisation” is the key to training. “Train that puppy by the time it’s 16 weeks and all the hard work is done.

“It will set a dog up for the rest of its life, making it receptive, compliant and malleable.”

He says the dogs he takes in as boarders reach a level of training in two to three weeks that would take their owners “months, if ever”.

The dogs’ owners attend about one hour a week to see what Aaron has achieved and learn his commands.

Aarons says he can quickly assess a dog’s temperament and decide whether it can be trained by raising his voice, clapping or a “correction chain”.

“I estimate I’ve trained 10,000 dogs – they’re relatively easy compared to humans. They are highly complicated animals but can be trained to do simple things.”

Aarons says not training a dog “keeps it stupid”.

He estimates less than one per cent of dogs are taken to puppy school.

“So many people buy a dog and stick him in the backyard, which is real drudgery for a dog. They need stimulation.”

On the other hand, Aarons speaks about one customer who loved to walk his dogs but never had them trained to be on the lead.

“By the end of his second dog’s life he needed a shoulder reconstruction; I fixed the third dog for him.

“When I first started out I wanted to teach dogs as much as possible and it took me a while to learn most people just want to be able to walk their dog, tell it to sit and not chew things.”

It is that sort of training that earns Aarons his “bread and butter”.

Meanwhile, Logan – the demonstration dog - provides an outlet for Aarons own desire to tackle the complicated.

Now that Logan has become an arson dog, his next trick is learning to skateboard.

Just the kind of stunt that will draw and hold the attention of primary school children to the Keep Your Kid Safe project.

MAHOGANY Neighbourhood Centre has accused Frankston Council of not being so neighbourly over council plans to take control of the centre’s management.

The Frankston North community centre’s committee of management president Toni Burton said Gillian Kaye from council visited the centre for a meeting last month and flagged a potential problem.

Ms Kaye is council’s communities general manager.

“She said there had been complaints about the centre but would neither confirm nor deny council was planning to take over,” Ms Burton said.

Ms Burton said Ms Kaye declined to provide details of the alleged complaints against the centre.

“She said council wanted to bring in new fresh ideas,” Ms Burton said.

Council sent the centre an official letter after the meeting confirming its intention to take over management of Mahogany Neighbourhood Centre when the existing licence agreement ends in August next year.

The centre’s management committee is made up of unpaid volunteers.

Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said 12 months’ notice had been given to the existing managers of the centre.

“Residents will be further engaged over this period, building on the Frankston North Local Community Plan to improve the utilisation and involvement with the centre,” Mr Hovenden said.

“Current service providers will still be able to utilise the centre, allowing them to continue offering their programs if they choose, and we encourage them to do so.”

He said Frankston North has “very limited” access to health, post-secondary school educa-

tion and employment support.

“Council is preparing to either directly provide or facilitate these essential services alongside leisure, personal development and children’s’ programs.”

Mr Hovenden said alleged complaints made against the centre were “confidential matters”.

Councillors discussed “contractual matters” concerning the Mahogany Neighbourhood Centre as a confidential item behind closed doors at July’s council meeting.

Frankston MP Geoff Shaw has urged council to work with the centre’s management “for the good of the Frankston North community”.

Frankston City Council is refusing to articulate what, if any, future plans they have to service the Frankston North community,” Mr Shaw said.

“Without any future plans, this will leave a gaping hole in the community services accessible throughout Frankston North.”

The Mahogany Neighbourhood Centre at Mahogany Ave, formerly known as the Pines Neighbourhood House, has hosted programs and activities to Frankston North residents for more than 30 years.

Ms Burton said the centre’s office employees would be made redundant as a result of council’s decision not to renew the management committee’s licence.

A media statement from the centre last week noted: “Mahogany Neighbourhood Centre has a long, proven history of working in partnership with other organisations, including council, to meet community needs.

“We want Frankston City Council to review their decision, renew the Licence Agreement and continue to support the Centre operating under the Neighbourhood House model.”

Frankston Council and the state government help fund six neighbourhood and community houses across the municipality.

Program cuts a risk to youth Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A PROGRAM that helps young people finish their education is in peril – and desperately needs an injection of government funds to continue.

Many of the students it helps have either left school or are at risk of leaving.

The estimated rate of youth unemployment in Frankston North for July 2014 is 20.7 per cent; a year ago it was 15.8 per cent.

The Brotherhood of St Laurence’s Community VCAL program - Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning - is a vocational alternative to the VCE. Six secondary schools in the Frankston area, as well as social workers and youth organisations, have referred about 250 disadvantaged teenagers to the program in Frankston since 2010.

“Without a commitment from both sides of parliament - Coalition and Labor - before the November state election to reduce a massive funding gap, the program won’t be able to take on new students,” the brotherhood’s executive director, Tony Nicholson, said.

“We will have to wind the program down and close it after 2016 when all current students have been educated to Year 12.”

Around 50 young people are enrolled from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. All of them face significant barriers to learning, including even homelessness, the brotherhood says.

The senior manager of the brotherhood’s Frankston services, John Catto-Smith, said that for an overwhelming number of young people, the Community VCAL has been “a positive and even life-changing experience - and it maintains that vital connection to education”.

“Since we started almost five years ago, 72 per cent of students have successfully graduated,” he said. “This is particularly impressive given that they were transferred to us from mainstream schools because of struggles to progress academically and other issues.

“Despite the barriers they continue to face,

John CattoSmith: VCAL a ‘positive and even life-changing experience’.

most have demonstrated considerable resilience, strengthened their personal skills and made huge progress.

“Many have moved smoothly into employment or further training, aided by the support we provide after graduation.”

The brotherhood says Frankston already has a higher proportion of young people dealing with these issues, compared with the state average.

“Under current government funding arrangements, Community VCAL students are treated far less favourably than those from mainstream schools,” Mr Nicholson said.

“The state government spends around $14,000 a student in mainstream schools every year, but only around $8000 for each student in Community VCAL.” Mr Nicholson said it also costs the brotherhood about the same - $14,000 - to educate each Community VCAL student, leaving a $6000 shortfall

compared with the amount the government would provide to the school if the student had not transferred to the brotherhood program.

“Our funding gap is partially met by philanthropic donations from our dedicated supporters, and through our own funds. But it’s not sustainable.”

Young people who are not in work, education or training risk long-term unemployment, Mr Nicholson said. “Many studies show they are more likely to be homeless or dealing with mental health and other issues.”

The Community VCAL program aims to offer more than education courses: in its holistic approach the staff also pays attention to the young person’s wellbeing, and offer vocational guidance and other support. Teenagers who have left school early and are unemployed are helped to complete their schooling, giving them a much better chance of finding work.

He condemned the atrocities of the Islamic State in the Middle East, saying they did not reflect Muslim beliefs and teachings.

“They are as far away from Islam as a person can be,” Imam Janud said.

He said Islam was being “hijacked by a small Imam Syed Wadood Janud minority”.

IS’s clever use of social media and the internet, while shocking Westerners, was successfully recruiting young Muslims to join its fight against established governments in the Middle East.

“The vast majority of Muslims would condemn and stand against these actions,” he said.

“These people have gone beyond humanity.

They look like human beings but their psychological state is beyond repair. It’s anything but Islam.”

Imam Janud said the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Victoria was in favour of anything the federal government did to counter “home-grown terrorism”.

Mr Bhatti said the sect was a religious community with no political ambitions or agenda.

Its members support the government “in every field of life” of whichever country they were in.

Al Islam, the “official” website of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, describes the community as “the leading Islamic organisation to categorically reject terrorism in any form” with its then leader, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, more than a century ago declaring “that an aggressive ‘jihad by the sword’ has no place in Islam”.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community’s international headquarters are in the United Kingdom and, according to the website, it has built more than 15,000 mosques, more than 500 schools, and more than 30 hospitals and translated the Quran into more than 70 languages.

‘Sod’ turns for new jobs An independent voice for the community

We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper in Frankston City and on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

A NEW aged care centre on FrankstonDandenong Rd, Carrum Downs, will provide between 120 and 175 jobs starting now, and continuing over the next 12 months, its owners say.

These will be in planning, construction, building and design, as well as nursing, carers, chefs, doctors, cleaners and laundry personnel.

John McKenna, chief financial

officer for Japara Healthcare Group, which runs Bayview Aged Care, said the multi-million dollar building’s 30 new beds “will provide much needed residential care for ageing local residents. Demand for services in this area is on the incline due to our ageing population”.

A ‘turning of the sod’ ceremony last week by Frankston mayor Cr Darrel

Taylor and Carrum MP Donna Bauer, on behalf of Ageing Minister David Davis, got the aged care centre in Carrum Downs up and running. It will open next year.

Bayview Aged Care is part of Aged Care Services Australia Group and Japara Healthcare group, which operates 35 aged care facilities across Victoria, NSW, Tasmania and South Australia.

The World’s Out-of-control first 100% car crashes INVISIBLE through office custom hearing aid.

WANTED 25 people to TRIAL the amazing new

X Series Soundlens.

A CARRUM Downs receptionist is lucky to be alive after a car driven by a co-worker crashed through the front window of the office she was working in last Tuesday.

Michelle Campbell was sitting at the reception desk of the office attached to an insulation factory in Frankston Gardens Drive about 1pm when the car ploughed through the front plateglass window on the far side of the building about 20 metres away.

The vehicle then crashed the whole way through the office into the back glass wall, missing Mrs Campbell by just centimetres.

Seconds earlier, she had been standing next to a printer right where the car hit.

Mrs Campbell’s first reaction was to ring her husband, telling him she had “nearly died” moments earlier.

The incident occurred when a coworker arrived at the factory to begin his afternoon shift and attempted to park his car in front of the office. But instead of breaking, he hit the accelerator.

“We heard a huge bang from the other side of the building and I thought

something had happened out there,” Mrs Campbell said.

“I heard screaming. The next thing I knew, I saw a car come in through our main office area.

“It just kept coming, and coming. I didn’t know if it was going to stop.”

The driver was treated for shock but was otherwise uninjured. He was interviewed by police and may face charges.

CARRUM Downs police sergeant Daniel Burgess was last week awarded one of the country’s highest awards for bravery after risking his life to save a fisherman from heavy seas off Phillip Island.

Sergeant Burgess was awarded the 2013 Royal Humane Society’s Clarke Medal for outstanding bravery by Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove at a ceremony in Melbourne on Tuesday.

The medal was in recognition of his efforts to save the life of a fisherman who had been washed almost a kilometre out to sea in treacherous conditions off the coast of Phillip Island in January 2012.

Sergeant Burgess battled for more than 40 minutes in heavy seas to save of the life of the drowning fisherman.

But the modest police officer refused to call himself a hero, saying he only did what he hoped anyone would do when confronted with a life and

death situation. “I'm brave but not a hero,” he said.

Sergeant Burgess pulled the motionless man above the water and bear hugged him to expel the water from his lungs, struggling to drag him towards the rocks.

“He was bleeding out of his ears and unconscious at that stage so anything was possible but we just had to give him every opportunity,” he said.

Along with his colleague Senior Constable William Richardson, they tried to pull the man from the water as crashing waves sent the men hurtling across the rocks.

The man again washed out to sea but rather than give up, Sergeant Burgess swam back out after him again, despite having injured himself after being battered on the razor sharp rocks. With the help of fisheries officer Chris Angwin, he kept the man afloat until further help arrived and were eventually able to haul him to safety.

WHAT’S ON AT NEPTOURS

Anger mounts over call for end to solar rebate Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au PENINSULA Labor candidates have joined together with Frankston Greens to condemn a Liberal Party review into renewable energy that calls for the scrapping of subsidies on solar panels and water heaters.

ALP candidate for Nepean Carolyn Gleixner joined with Mornington candidate Rebecca Wright and Hastings hopeful Steve Hosking to express “outrage” at the “wholesale slash and burn of solar” recommended in the Liberal Party’s Renewable Energy Target Review report, which was released this month.

Their views were echoed by Frankston Greens candidate Jeanette Swain, who said latest data showed solar installations continued to rise in Frankston despite severe uncertainty from the Abbott government over the RET. She said Frankston was the fifth leading local government area in Victoria in terms of solar installations.

“The Frankston community continues to support solar,” MS Swain said. “Solar is the best way towards a cleaner, cheaper future, and I’m proud to see my home of Frankston as a solar leader within Victoria.”

Gutting the RET would lead to a 30 to 50 per cent drop in solar installations, Ms Swain said, leading to “lost jobs, lost investments and lost opportunities” for households looking to save on their power bills.

The review into Australia’s commitment to a 20 per cent target for renewable energy by 2020, which was headed well-known climate change sceptic and former Reserve Bank board member Dick Warburton, recommends winding back or scrapping financial support for renewable energy projects.

The RET was introduced by the Howard government in 2001 to provide incentives for alternative energy producers before being expanded by Labor in 2011 when the 20 per cent target was mandated.

Ms Gleixner said it appeared the government was now doing the bidding of the country’s big energy companies, which have been lobbying for the RET to be either killed off or heavily diluted.

She said the increasing popularity of solar panels, which driven by surging electricity

prices, was putting power company profits under intense pressure.

“We are in trouble when our government appears to care more about large companies and protecting their profits than it does about Australian people trying to do the right thing for the environment and saving on household expenses,” she said.

“This review by the Liberals, reportedly headed by a panal with strong links to the fossil fuel industry, is just another slap in the face.”

Ms Wright, the Labor candidate for Mornington, said peninsula households were among the strongest supporters of solar energy, as a way to cut both power costs and green house emissions.

She said it was vital the price for electricity fed back into the system by households with solar panels was set at an fair level.

“The community is trying to get the message across that they want solar, and at a reasonable price for the energy they feed back into the grid,” she said.

The three state ALP candidates have written to the Environment Minister, Flinders MP Greg Hunt, to demand the government ignores the “flawed and compromised review” and retains the Renewable Energy Target in full.

They have also strongly criticised Mr Hunt’s state Liberal counterparts, claiming that while other states have opposed changes to the RET, Victorian Premier Dennis Napthine had been “non-committal”.

However, Flinder MP and Enviroment Minister Greg Hunt said the government had no plans to scrap to RET. “The Coalition supports renewable energy.

The Coalition, not Labor, introduced the Renewable Energy Target in 2001,” he said.

“The review of the RET was completed in line with the legislation, which requires a review of the scheme every two years.

“The government is considering the full details of the report to ensure the RET is working efficiently and effectively, bearing in mind the impact on the renewables industry, Australian businesses and households and Australia’s energy market.”

Mr Hunt said the government would not make any changes that would impact “those who have already made an investment – small or large – under the RET.”

Annable ‘honoured’ to win south east coaches’ award DUANE Annable, above, was named South East Region football coach of the year at the AFCA South East awards dinner last week.

The Crib Point senior coach stood out after taking Crib Point to its first grand final in 13 years with a team of mostly young talent developed through their junior program.

They ultimately lost the decider to Sorrento, however, the plaudits surrounding their season continue to resonate throughout the region.

Although still smarting from the grand final loss, Annable said: “It’s a wonderful honour.

It’s obviously good to be recognised for all the hard work and I am privileged to receive it – but I would have preferred a premiership medal.”

Annable said a highlight of the year was watching his young team claw their way back from five goals down in the preliminary final against Rye to win by a point.

“We developed a lot of local talent on about half the pay scale of most clubs in the finals and we are hopeful of hanging onto a few. It’s such an even competition that any team on any given day can win.”

Annable began coaching the senior team this season after being playing coach in 2003 and 2004.

Along with other category winners in the Australian Football Coaches Association awards, Annable has been nominated for the state award, which will be announced at the MCG on 14 November.

Other award winners are youth coach of the year Gavin Taylor (Balnarring JFC), junior coach of the year Michael Sullivan (Edithvale Aspendale JFC), youth girls coach of the year Troy Robinson (Beaconsfield JFC) and Auskick coach of the year Patrick Swayne (Moorooduc Auskick).

Animal farm

THERE was no need for children to leave the city limits to see some farm animals last week with a petting zoo one of the main attractions at the Frankston Farmers Market.

Musicians and balloon animal experts also kept children entertained during the school holidays at the farmers market.

The petting zoo will be back at the market in Wells St on Thursday.

A ONCE shy 8-year-old Seaford Cub has risen to become a Queen Scout.

Mitchell Gardner, now 18 and in year 12 at Patterson River Secondary College, was named a Queen Scout in June - the highest award in the Venturer Section.

This follows his Australian Scout Medallion - the highest award in the Scout Section – in 2010.

Mitchell has spent the past three years completing proficiency badges and courses for his Queen Scout Venturer Award, which covers leadership development, outdoor activities, first aid, environment, and service to others.

Then, working for his Queen Scout Leadership course, he learned leadership skills, planning, organisation techniques, decision making, communication, delegation and cooperation.

“I am thrilled with the award and proud of what I have achieved,” he said. “It’s been a big journey over the past four years.”

Mitchell, who lives in Seaford, said the training had improved his independence and had helped “shape me into a better person”.

At 11, Mitchell moved to the Carrum Downs Scout Group where he “began to flourish into the person he is today”, Venturer leader Nikki Ivory said.

“As a young Scout he was a quiet youth who quickly worked out that Scouting had more than proficiency badges to offer. He has attained many proficiency badges and his Gold boomerang.”

Mitchell learned to live by the Scout Law and Promise, and also began to understand that youth leaders “don’t have all the answers” and that he would have to work with Scouts of all ages to make things happen. To this end he organised camps, hikes and activities, helping himself and other youth members attain badges.

Ms Ivory said the Queen Scout award aimed to promote personal growth, personal knowledge and life skills, and had allowed Mitchell to realise his potential and understand the im-

portance of friendship, communication, loyalty, teamwork and leadership.

“This, at times, has challenged Mitchell, making him strive for the very best - not only from himself but from the unit,” she said.

Earning the Queen Scout Award is a remarkable feat for a young man completing Year 12 and working part time. He had to prove his skills in Scout craft, and show that he embodies the aims, principals and methods of the Scout Association.

“The most memorable experiences have been the camps and the outdoor experiences,” Mitchell said. “One special memory was caving at Buchan with eight other Venturers - it was awesome.”

Ms Ivory is confident that “as long as individuals like Mitchell are in the Scout Movement, Scouts will have a promising future”.

Mitchell will continue his Scouting by moving onto the Sir Dallas Brooks Rover Crew at Seaford. On completing year 12 he hopes to go to university to study journalism.

Frankston Times 29 September 2014

Swags make sleeping out less rough HOMELESSNESS is a significant and growing issue in Frankston, with a higher rate of sleeping “rough” than the Melbourne CBD, according to welfare agencies.

And the figure is worsening, with Community Support Frankston recording a 30 per cent increase in emergency aid requests this year from those with no fixed address.

Community Support Frankston is a major aid supplier to those facing hardship and crisis.

In financial year 2012-13 the support agency received 271 requests for material aid but this has jumped to 388 requests in the financial year 2013-14,” acting manager, Community Support Frankston, Steve Phillips, said last week.

“The figures are encounters we have had with people of no fixed address requesting emergency relief. We provided them with some form of emergency relief, such as food, vouchers, debt assistance, or swags.”

Mr Phillips said homelessness issues were recorded 68 more times in the first half of this year than the first half of 2013. In the half year from January to June in 2013 there were 98 instances compared with 166 in the same period this year.

Community Support Frankston provided nearly $75,000 to assist people to gain - or retain - somewhere to live in the 2013-14 financial year. “During the same period we distributed more than $200,000 in food and food vouchers to some of Frankston’s most disadvantaged,” he said.

But a donation of 25 “large and comfy” swags from Langwarrin Community Centre will make sleeping “rough” more bearable for Frankston’s homeless. The khaki swags are purpose built for sleeping in the street and made from the same canvas as those used by the Army and RM Williams.

“We heard there was a strong demand for these swags and we are happy to help,” centre manager Sam Rowley said.

Practical gift: Sam Rowley, of Langwarrin Community Centre, and Steve Phillips, acting manager of Community Support Frankston with the swags being given to the homeless. Picture: Yanni

The swags with a foam mattress are water proof and ready to use. They have rot and mildew inhibitors, and UV stabilisers to ensure longer life, are abrasion resistant and low fire danger. Their 35 per cent cotton content ‘breathes’ so condensation from body moisture doesn’t build up causing the swag to become wet. Importantly, they are low fire danger and are non-combustible to cigarette burns.

Mr Phillips said calls for help from Frankston’s homeless would continue to grow as housing affordability decreases.

“We see clients who live in shared accommodation who say it is “not the best” living

environment. Others say they prefer to be of no fixed address and sleep “rough” in the street than in a share or boarding house,” Mr Phillips said.

“Whatever the reason, there has been – and will be - an increase across the board in the number of vulnerable people in Frankston without a home.”

Frankston Council staff also put their hands in their pockets to help the homeless during Homeless Persons Week (4-10 August). The mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, handed over hundreds of canned goods donated by the staff, as well as piles of blankets and sleeping bags, to Community Support Frankston.

BayMob’s back bigger and better MORE than 300 people are expected to visit the peninsula’s premier indigenous health and education expo in Frankston on Friday.

Now in its fifth year, BayMob showcases the multiple health, education and wellbeing opportunities available for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the Frankston and peninsula region.

A partnership event between Peninsula Health and Monash University, the free event was developed to break down barriers to health services, employment and educational pathways and help build long-term partnerships between service providers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Peninsula Health’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander team leader Eddie Moore said the BayMob expo had been developed in response to community needs, ideas and suggestions and provided an opportunity to showcase indigenous culture.

“It’s an occasion to embrace our culture, pride and identity – and to share knowledge and wisdom to build our mob’s capacity to take control of our own destiny by making informed choices about health and education,” Mr Moore said.

He said this year’s BayMob expo would have “something for everyone”, with more than 40 stall holders participating and a host of activities planned.

Highlights including children’s activities such as face painting, wildlife, animal farm, jumping castle, bungee run and sumo suits, an elders lounge, dance, hip hop and didgeridoo workshops, information about youth, women’s and men’s health, and advice on education and employment pathways.

BayMob Health and Education Expo is on at Monash University, Peninsula campus, McMahons Rd, Frankston, 10am to 3pm on Friday 3 October.

FEATURE PROPERTY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Space and colour on a big block WITH the absolute wow factor, this sensational brick-veneer home is privately set and offers the ultimate, peaceful lifestyle for young, growing families or retirees downsizing from a larger property. Flanked by lush gardens, the driveway leads up to an extensively paved parking area and the double garage under the roof line of the home. There are secondary access points to the rear of the block and alongside the home is a large workshop with roller door. The vibrant colours on offer beautifully complement the crisp white interior walls giving the whole home a very clean and sleek feel. Warmed by a charming wood heater the living areas are very spacious with a comfortable family zone incorporating a lounge and dining area, and in one corner a visually intriguing kitchen.

Hungry kids can come and go, take quick meals on the lovely big breakfast counter, and all without ever interrupting the goings on in the actual meals preparation area which is almost like a kitchen within a kitchen. There is a built-in corner pantry, convection oven and under-bench gas oven, and from here there is a pleasant outlook across the large backyard. Two established bedrooms include a massive main bedroom with a walkthrough robe leading to a fantastic ensuite with spa. The second bedroom has built-in robes, and a study, also with robes, can be a third bedroom. The undercover entertaining area looks out to a wonderful in-ground, solar heated pool and once outside, the feeling of privacy on the impressive 2539-square metre block is absolute with natural bushland and high fences keeping neighbours at bay.

Ageing Well goes hi-tech

Attention Schools, sporting clubs & community groups

Free advertising listings PENINSULA Health’s hugely successful Ageing Well Expo is back for the ninth year with a group of IT experts eager to help expo-goers with all things technology.

Event organiser Nikki Best said the expo, which expects to attract over 1200 attendees, gives older people the chance to explore the many different ways in which they can age positively, including using the latest technology.

“Health-related apps and ‘wearables’ are on the rise. There are apps to remind you when to take medication, to track how far you’ve walked or even help with rehabilitation exercises.

“There’s so many ways people can use technology to age well, all they need is a helping hand to get started. That’s why we want expogoers to bring along their iPads, mobile phones and lots of questions for our tech team - a keen group of students from Monash University,” Mrs Best said.

For the first time there will also be workshops throughout the day to allow people to learn, share and discuss topics including reducing risk of dementia, activities for carers, planning for the future and cooking for one.

“It’s a fantastic informative event; with more than 80 displays from local health, council services and other community organisations,” \ Mrs Best said.

As well as entertainment, information and group activities, expo-goers can test their blood pressure, hearing, balance and diabetes risk in the dedicated health screening room.

The event is free and refreshments are provided throughout the day. There is ample parking and the venue has disability access throughout.

The Ageing Well Expo will be held on Wednesday 8 October, 9.30am – 2.00pm at New Peninsula Baptist Church, 370 Craigie Road, Mount Martha.

Free transport is available from Frankston, Mornington, Blairgowrie and Hastings. To book a seat call Peninsula Transport Assist on 9708 8241. Bus RSVP close on Friday 3 October.

The Peninsula Health event is held in partnership with Mornington Peninsula Shire, Brotherhood of St Laurence, Frankston City Council, Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Medicare Local and National Seniors Australia.

Each month the Frankston Times will run a Community Events page, where your school or organisation can promote upcoming events, fund raisers, social events, etc. at no charge.

This page is sponsored by the Carrum Downs Community Bank and listings are completely free.

■ REHABILITATION HOSPITAL

We don’t just care for our patients we care about them Our success is measured by our patients’ feedback.

The Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey is conducted annually by an external provider, who asks our patients a number of questions about their entire hospital stay. In the most recent Press Ganey Survey 92 (>60%) inpatients responded and gave us an average score of 88.4. This placed us in the 99th percentile and when benchmarked against other private rehabilitation hospital we ranked number 1.

We conduct patient experience surveys and ask them: “Why did you choose to come to SJOG Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital?”

Here is what our patients had to say1. “My father was a patient 3 years’ ago and he was looked after so well, he went home so healthy “ 2. “The people from the retirement village I’m at have told me how fantastic it was at SJOG Frankston and how their recovery was quick” 3. “My mother was at SJOG Berwick

as a patient and they looked after her so well, that when my oncologist recommended SJOG Frankston to regain my energy I said yes straight away.”

4. “I completed “outpatients’ physiotherapy at SJOG Frankston and the physiotherapist’ were so caring and knew their ‘stuff ’, that when I nally had to have my hip replacement I made sure that I came back here” 5. “I’ve been a patient here at Frankston, and my care was fantastic and I felt so well when I went home the rst time that I made sure I came back after my other knee replacement.”

6. “My son suggested I come to SJOGF, as he has friend’s parents that came here in the past.”

7. “An acute hospital suggested I come to SJOGF after I had a motor bike accident, they said that it will assist in me returning to home. Also, the nurses that came from SJOG were great and gave me hope that I’ll recover from my accident.”

8. “My doctor looking after me thought it would be good to come

here as I need to increase my strength before I go home.”

9. “I needed rehab and my doctor referred me to you”

to have rehab at Frankston as I can increase my strength & return home safely.”

10.

“My Dr rang you (Frankston) to see if I can come in for help with my walking. I have Parkinson’s’ & my GP said that I could get help with my walking.”

12.

“I’ve heard about you (Frankston) from friends who said they had good rehab with you. Asked can you explain what “good rehab “it was?

Response - they became more active, support organised for home.”

11.

“I wanted to go home straight after my operation but the hospital told me that it would be good

13.

“An acute hospital recommended I go to SJOG Frankston to help me return home.”

If high quality physical rehabilitation is important to you or your family, then ask your doctor or surgeon for a referral.Details of our various services are available on our website: www.sjog.org.au/frankston REFERRALS: Outpatient referrals can be sent to: St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital 255-265 Cranbourne Road, Frankston 3199 Fax: (03) 9788 3280 Inpatient referrals can be sent to: Fax: (03) 9788 3304

■ PODIATRY

Foot health and ageing As our feet grow older, they naturally develop more problems.

But painful and uncomfortable feet are not a natural part of growing old, or something to put up with.

At Foot Street Podiatry the foot pain relief clinic we can improve comfort, relieve pain and keep you on your feet for life.

Mirrors of health The condition of our feet often provides early indications of conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, and circulatory disease.

For this reason, the human foot is sometimes called the ‘mirror of health’.

Look out for signs such as dry skin, brittle nails, burning and tingling sensations, feelings of cold, numbness, and discoloration.

Speak to your podiatrist when any of these signs occur.

Foot problems prevented

can

be

With ageing our feet tend to spread and lose the fatty pads that cushion the bottom of the feet.

If we are carrying extra weight, this can also affect the bone and ligament structure.

It is not normal for feet to hurt so

don’t endure foot problems which could be treated.

There are more than 300 different foot conditions. Some are inherited, but for older people, most stem from the impact of years of use. However, even among people in their retirement years, many foot problems can be treated successfully, and the pain of foot conditions relieved.

Older people should have their feet measured for shoe sizes more frequently, rather than presuming that their shoe sizes remain constant.

Dry skin and brittle nails are other conditions older people commonly face.

Taking good care of your foot health has many benefits including increasing your comfort, limiting the possibility of additional medical problems, reducing your chance of hospitalisation due to infection, and most importantly keeping you active and mobile.

Keeping walking.

Mobility can be a problem for older people, yet with basic footcare, and the prompt attention of any problems, getting around shouldn’t be difficult.

Podiatrists provide services designed to help keep older people on their feet, serving in hospitals, community health centres and nursing homes, as well as in private practice Foot health tips Properly fitted shoes are essential.

The older you get, the more you need a shoe that holds your foot firmly in place and gives adequate support. Sloppy old favourites should be thrown out, as they will make you feel unstable.

A shoe with a firm sole and soft upper is best for daily activities.

Walking is the best exercise for your feet.

Pantyhose or stockings should be of the correct size and preferably free of seams as they can affect circulation.

Except at the beach, avoid going barefoot, even in your own home.

Never cut corns and callouses with a razor, pocket knife, or other such instruments and don’t use over-the-counter corn products as they may do more harm than good, unless they have been recommended to you by your podiatrist.

Bathe your feet daily in lukewarm

(not hot) water, using a mild soap, preferably one containing moisturiser. Be aware that over moisturizing can cause you to slip Trim or file your toenails straight across, or have a podiatrist cut them for you.

Inspect your feet every day, or have someone do this for you. If you notice any redness, cracks in the skin, or sores, consult your podiatrist.

and treat your foot condition and recommend an exercise program and suitable footwear. Call 9766 3253 for an appointment with Dr. Carol or Dr. Karina our podiatrists.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Six military horses cause chaos Compiled by Melissa Hodge MESSRS A. Scott and Co. will hold their usual monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will have a good yarding of dairy and other cattle, sheep, farm and dairy utensils. *** MR J. Cuthbert sailed on Wednesday, by the Otway, for England, his uncle (Sir Alric Churchward) having sent for him to attend the Commission in Royal Artillery. *** THE friends of Mr Cyril Twining will be pleased to learn that he is able to resume his duties, his arm which was broken by an accident some weeks ago, being quite recovered. *** AT St. Paul’s Church of England.

Frankston, on Sunday next, special collections will be taken for the Home Mission fund of the Church. Out of this fund 60 parishes around Melbourne are helped, and many other activities of the church are financed.

Rev G. A. Kitchen, on Sunday last, told the congregation that true patriotism meant sacrifice, and that those who were giving so well to the Patriotic Fund should up their subscriptions to the funds for local needs. *** THE Spring Meeting of the Mornington Racing Club is to take place at the Drywood estate racecourse on Tuesday, 8th December next. Among the improvements to be made at the course will be a saddling paddock and an up to date stewards’ room, with

balcony.

The members’ season tickets (for two meetings) were fixed at 7s 6d ; admission to course, 2s, and to course and paddock 5s. *** MRS. J. W. Swords, of Victoria Villa, Hutton street, Dandenong, died on Friday morning last, aged 93 years. The deceased lady was born at Nenagh, Ireland, on April 21, 1821, and came of a good old English family, her mother being one of the Falkners, of Bushy Park and Mount Falkner, county of Tipperary.

She married in 1839 James Walter Swords, whose father was a coloursergeant in the famous Black Watch, and spent the rest of his days as librarian at Somerset, House, London.

They emigrated to Australia in March 1840, in the sailing ship Teresa (Captain Wood,) arriving at Liardet’s Beach, now Port Melbourne, after a five months’ voyage.

Mr Swords came out under engagement to Mr Thomas Strode, of the “Port Phillip Patriot.” Mr Swords was employed as shipping reporter on the “Patriot”, and afterwards journeyed overland to Portland, where he founded the first provincial paper, the Portland “Guardian.”

In 1851 he had amassed considerable landed property in Bourke street and at Collingwood which was then open country, and was building freely, when the goldfields rush took place, and he was left with a number of half-finished houses on his hands, and

was sold up by the money-lenders.

In 1860 he established the Bacchus Marsh “Guardian,” and in 1874 the Dandenong “Advertiser,” now the property of Messrs. Henry Falkner and F. W. Swords. Mr Swords predeceased his wife 30 years ago.

Mrs Swords was the mother of 13 children, the eldest being the late Mrs Henry Scarborough, of Frankston. *** AFTER the performance of “Who’s Who,” the members of St Paul’s Club gave a supper to. Mr C. Elis and presented him with a large aluminium kettle as a wedding gift. *** OWING to the unsettled state of the weather, and the splendid rains, which we hoped would be general, the Progress Association were unable to continue the “War of weeds and thistles” at the Frankston cemetery, but we hope that the good work will be continued when the opportunity offers. The association expect to organize another working bee shortly. *** THE Frankston Choral Society held their usual rehearsal on Monday night. The members were very enthusiastic over the madrigals Mr Earp is teaching.This is an advanced form of choral music, and is very attractive and tuneful. The members are to be congratulated on their initial efforts.

An advertisement in another column draws attention to an alteration in the arrangements for the next choral practice. Owing to the Mechanics bring

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Get the best night’s sleep

occupied on Monday evening the choral will practice in the Mechanics on Wednesday at 8pm. A good muster is expected. *** A SPLENDID response is being made to the appeal for eggs made by our Patriotic Committee. Mr W. W. Richardson has already received over 40 dozen eggs, and these will be forwarded to the troops as soon as arrangements can be made. This is indeed a worthy object, and thanks are due to Mr Hocking for his suggestion, and Mr Bert Shannon and Mr Richardson, for the trouble they have taken. *** SIX horses attached to the ammunition wagon near the military barracks became unmanageable about 2.30pm on Tuesday last and bolted along St Kilda Road, causing great excitement.

Three of the horses were mounted by soldiers. They galloped madly along the road with the wagon bumping in the rear and the riders trying to swerve them out of the way of approaching traffic.

As the bolting horses approached the Homoeopathic Hospital the lead stumbled and in a moment the five animals were down in a heap. The riders were buried amongst them.

Archibald McFarlane, 28, driver, attached to the Expeditionary Force, sustained concussion and trauma injury to the left shoulder and was taken to the Homoeopathic Hospital for treatment.

One of the horses fell against the dummy of a tram and unseated a passenger, Mrs McEwan, 23, of Mainroad, Ringwood, Mrs McEwan’s nose and face were cut through coming in contact with the metal road, and she had to receive attention at the hospital, the two other drivers escaped serious injury. *** DON’T TOSS THE BABY. THE throwing a baby into the air and catching him again is always a risky practice, certain though the tosser may be of his quickness of eye and sureness of hands.

A sudden and unexpected movement of the child in his mid-air flight may result in a cruel fall.

A gay young father snatched up his baby boy one morning and tossed him to the ceiling.

Twice the little fellow went flying through the air and came down safely into the waiting arms. The third time the excited child gave a spring of delight as his father’s hands released him, plunged forward, and pitching over the father’s shoulder, fell head downward to the floor.

When the poor child came out of the stupor in which he lay for hours, it was found that, although no bones had been broken, the brain had sustained an injury that would in all probability render the child an imbecile.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 3 October, 1914.

I.C.U.R.A.V.I.P. (or, how to buy a rap superstar)

By Stuart McCullough AT first I misunderstood. I was waiting for a take away coffee when an email appeared in my inbox without warning from a large department store. The subject line declared: VIP Sale – Hurry last days!

I know for a fact that ‘VIP’ stands for ‘Very Important Person’ and not, as I’d previously thought, ‘Voluptuous Idiot Pants’. I don’t know much about VIP sales except they’re about as frequent as a visit by Halley’s Comet.

There was not a second to lose.

Instantly, I leapt to my feet and abandoned my low-fat soy latte with half an artificial sweetener. Away from the madding crowd, my fingers worked furiously to type out the only question anyone would want to ask when time was so clearly of the essence.

According to Macy’s, I must act now or forever hold my peace or someone else’s peace in the event that I had been careless and temporarily misplaced my own.

‘OMG.’ (I was, after all, using a mobile phone.) ‘THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW’, I replied.

‘I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!’ (Thank goodness for predictive text.)

I’ve been told that using upper case for emails can be interpreted as aggressive, to which I generally respond with violence, preferably using a piece of rubber hose.

Then, without wasting so much as another nanosecond, I asked the one question that had been burning inside me from the moment I received the email – ‘REGARDING YOUR VIP

SALE: HOW MUCH FOR KANYE WEST?’ It’s been said that the internet connects people in an instant. To this time, however, I’ve received no response.

At first I thought I was too late – maybe someone else had decided Kanye West would be the perfect toothbrush holder, Christmas ornament or pot plant stand and snapped him up. Perhaps I’d have to settle for David Bowie as an au pair or Ricky Gervais as my shoe butler. Granted, it’s not quite as awesome as having Mr. Kardashian on hand for use – say – as a human couch cushion, but life is (if nothing else) a series of

compromises.

But before I could say so much as ‘I’ll take two Betty Whites and a packet of Bill Cosbys’ I was struck by a thought with the force of a Ford Cortina trying to sneak through a pedestrian crossing: what if Macy’s were not selling VIPs, but inviting them to a sale? What if I was, in fact, a Very Important Person?

In a split second, a warm sense of satisfaction washed over me – I’d been waiting for this day my whole life.

Being declared a VIP has been something on my bucket list for yonks. Frankly, I thought it might take a little longer to attain such an

exulted status and, to be honest, now that I’ve achieved my life’s ambition I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with my time.

This changes everything. Forget queuing up. Whether it’s for the tram or the movies, being an internationally recognized VIP ought to carry with it certain privileges.

Actually, forget the tram – I deserve a limo. And a motorcade. Maybe a security detail, preferably in a helicopter.

There should be merchandise featuring my name and image. T-shirts, lunchboxes and an unauthorized biography would be the tip of a very profitable mountain.

After years dedicated to being very, very ordinary, my inner wonderfulness has suddenly been spotted, and from quite a distance too.

To be considered ‘important’ by a twerp or a dead-set nong is no comfort. I, on the hand, have had my all-round awesomeness recognized by a major corporation based in another continent.

All of us, I think, aspire to greatness. Indeed, YouTube was invented to make the whole idea of greatness more achievable. Unbeknownst to me, I have succeeded in becoming great without even realizing. Which, of course, is fantastic.

I grew up around important people.

I knew this not because of anything they said but because their cars told me so.

When I was a kid, lots of people had a sticker on the front window of their vehicles with the McDonald’s

logo and the initials ‘VIP’.

I had no idea what it took to be considered important to Ronald McDonald. Was it an honour they dished out to anyone who actually ate their pickles or was some act of bravery required?

I’d be quite willing kick the Hamburglar right in the junior fries or rescue Grimace from a burning building if required.

I might even be ready to take a bullet for Mayor McCheese.

As I imagined it, being a VIP at McDonalds came with unimaginable benefits – from complimentary upsizing to diplomatic immunity. I was jealous and I wanted to be part of it.

Sadly, it was not to be.

Even though Macys has (belatedly) conceded that I am a very important person, they’ve done precious little about it beyond sending the email.

There’s been no limo, no security detail and Kanye West isn’t returning my calls. At this rate, I’ll have to record an outrageously derogatory rap record just to get his attention. I doubt my packet of Bills Cosbys will arrive before Christmas and, sadly, I don’t think they’ll have Chevy Chase in my size. Suddenly, I don’t feel that important. In fact, I feel downright ordinary.

Maybe that’s all right. Everyone’s a very important person in his or her own way. Perhaps I’ll do some shopping – it never fails to make me feel better. I think I’ll start by getting a pair of Voluptuous Idiot Pants. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Red fever strikes in the bays

By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro NOW the footy is done and dusted for another year we can seriously turn our attention to fishing.

With snapper becoming more frequent by the day, angler excitement is starting to reach fever pitch.

It's the time of the year where tradies swap tool trailers for boat trailers and the most reliable of partners become absent, all caught up in the quest to bag a snapper.

Yes, many suffer the effects of the red fever, it's nothing to be ashamed of, it's to be embraced it's a Melbourne institution.

The arrival of the snapper heralds the changing of the season, the cold dark bitter days of winter give way to spring flowers, warm sunshine and promise of summer fun.

Port Phillip and Western Port produce most of Victoria's snapper, making the Mornington Peninsula ground zero for snapper enthusiasts.

Popular spots at this time of year are between Carrum and Mt Martha in Port Phillip and from Cowes to Warneet in Western Port.

For best results fish deep waters during the day and move into the shallower water between sunset and sunrise.

The most productive rig for snapper is a running sinker. However, anglers fishing soft plastics and

Welcome aboard: James Wickam is keen to display this 6.5kg snapper he landed after setting out from Yaringa Boat Hire.

flasher - snapper snatcher - rigs also do well.

Snapper can respond well to a good burley trail and popular baits include pilchards, squid, silver whiting, couta, and salmon.

Snapper in Port Phillip are easily caught on 4-8kg outfits. In Western Port anglers prefer 8-10kg equipment due to the strong tides.

Snapper are a symbol of Victorian fishing and culture. They are more than just a fish, they are the essence of

the season, the spirit of the bays.

Reports: In Port Phillip the best results are coming from those fishing the close shallow marks. Patience, luck and a bit of knowledge is key for early season snapper. Sinkers as light as possible, fishing good structure or beds and quality well-presented bait are all good steps in the right direction.

In the southern end of the bay whiting and squid are solid options in the shallows and gummy sharks to

Safety when out seeking snapper

20kg have been caught in the deeper channels.

Around Mornington good schools of salmon and squid continue to haunt the shallows and, as the water has started to warm, we are seeing garfish and whiting. Flathead have been consistent and snapper more frequent every week.

From Frankston to Mordialloc anglers after a snapper should fish the reefs from 6-10m.

Anglers fishing in kayaks have had some incredible results, landing snapper to over 80cm by targeting the shallow reefs 6-8m and using soft plastics. Squid, salmon, red mullet and flathead have also been landed.

In Western Port all the talk is of snapper. The north end is most productive at the moment, but in the next week or so we will see good fishing extend throughout. Not only are snapper getting caught but squid, whiting and pike are in the shallows, while the deeper waters are holding some good gummy sharks and a few school sharks.

Tight lines and calm seas. n Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire.com.au or call 5975 5479).

BOATIES are being urged to play safe when out to catch snapper.

Transport Safety Victoria says that this fishing season has already led to more than 100 recreational boating incidents, resulting in one fatality and three serious injury incidents.

“The snapper season traditionally marks the commencement of the Victorian boating season. For many boaters, this will be the first time their vessel has been on the water for several months,” TSV spokesperson Marty O’Connell said.

“At this time of the year, we typically see a spike in the number of broken down vessels because they have not been properly checked over the winter break. These breakdowns can result in a dangerous situation.”

Mr O’Connell said stale fuel should be replaced, batteries charged and correct safety equipment - lifejackets, flares and fire extinguishers – carried.

Being visible and steering clear of ships should be a priority when underway.

“If you’re fishing in Port Phillip, remember that you cannot anchor in shipping channels or fairways and should always steer clear of ships,” Mr O’Connell said.

Off the long run: Natalie Plane sends one down the pitch.

Scholarship cricketer aims high

Frankston

PAGE 38

Frankston Times 29 September 2014

RECEIVING a Cricket Australia Indigenous Scholarship has put Natalie Plane on the path to – hopefully – international success.

The Frankston North resident, 18, plays for Melbourne Cricket Club where, last season, she played 18 games in the club’s female first XI, taking 11 wickets at 24.9. She originally played for Pines Cricket Club.

In February Plane was named in Victoria’s first female team at the Imparja Cup – a national Indigenous tournament – where she took five wickets. The team finished third.

She recently returned from the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane where she received specialist coaching.

Plane and three other players were selected by former Australian captain Greg Chappell and the

manager of the centre, Belinda Clark, to receive the scholarship based on their performances in club cricket, at state level and in the Imparja Cup. “The scholarship gives me access to coaches and the skills required to improve my game,” she said. “They’ll be keeping an eye on me and watching my progress.”

The pace bowler says she “loves the people she meets” in cricket and is thrilled with her prospects. “It could take me anywhere – my goal is to make the Australian women’s team.”

With the football season over, cricket is back on the agenda this weekend. Plane is itching to go in Saturday’s opening round against Essendon Maribyrnong Park.

Cricket season preview: Piners face Hills first up

By IT Gully WITHIN a blink of an eye, the footy gear has been stashed in the top of the cupboard and the cricket gear has been dusted off.

Round one of the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association season launches on Saturday (4 October) with one day matches scheduled.

In PROVINCIAL, the new kids on the block, Pines, who has recruited well again in the off season, will face Heatherhill at Bruce Park. Pines of course won the District Grand Final against Delacombe Park last season.

Reigning premier Mornington will be favourites again, despite losing a couple of First XI players. Regardless, the Dogs had outstanding depth last season and with a few new faces, will be the team to beat yet again. The Dogs tackle old foe Mt Eliza in the opening round.

Crib Point may have a slow start to the season given two of their most important players, Brad Davidson and

Luke Herrington, were locked down with footy commitments.

Regardless, the Pies will be more than competitive yet again. Their season starts against a new look Long Island, minus Paul Hartle, who has crossed to his original club, Seaford.

Baxter will be without familiar faces Darren and Marc Uccello (Seconds) and Adrian Mack (Langwarrin) this season, however, will continue to be a force. The semi retirements of the Uccello’s and departure of Mack opens the door for some who have been banging it down for a while. A few new faces will also have an impact.

Baxter faces Moorooduc in Round 1.

Sorrento, who went so close to going all the way again last season, faces Peninsula Old Boys in the opening round while Langwarrin will play host to Rye. Both the Old Boys and Demons were a disappointment last season and will be looking to cause upsets in Round 1.

In DISTRICT ranks, there is enormous expectation on Seaford.

Seaford has recruited better than any club this season with league superstar Paul Hartle going back to captain-coach the club.

Whilst Hartle is an enormous coup in his own right, Seaford has been able to retain its list, whilst welcoming back the likes of Faisal Payenda, Andy McMannus and Nick Simpendorfer. A couple of walk-ins off the street have also added some real sting to the team. In the opening round, Seaford plays Hastings at Seaford Reserve.

Carrum goes head to head with Seaford Tigers, who had an enormous opening season last year in District.

Carrum was disappointing and will want to get off to a good start at Roy Dore Reserve.

Baden Powell underperformed last season also and will be up against the young and talented Mt Martha. The Reds are another year older and could be an improver.

Delacombe Park was knocked off in the Grand Final last season after being

overwhelming favourites.

The Parkers need to show what they are made of this season. There is too much talent in this side not to challenge again. The Parkers play Boneo at home in the opening round.

Flinders and Main Ridge will be interesting teams to watch this season and we’ll get a good gauge when they go up against one another in the first round.

In the final game, Somerville tests Red Hill, who won the Sub District flag in dominant circumstances last season.

In Sub District cricket, Ballam Park will be hoping that its luck changes after three years of humiliation.

The Knights have been the whipping boys over the past three years in Provincial and District and have dropped two divisions in that period of time.

The Knights face Tootgarook at Truemans Rd this Saturday.

Balnarring will unveil new recruit and former league medallist David

Ross (Langwarrin) when it hosts Dromana. It is believed that Ross is considering a return to bowling after overcoming a bout of the yips.

The Tigers have really struggled in recent times and will be hoping for a better season. Balnarring at Balnarring is a tough start.

Tyabb and Rosebud go head to head.

Rosebud was inconsistent last season but unveiled some great young talent.

If those young Buds can continue to improve, they should look forward to another good season.

Pearcedale and Frankston YCW will be hoping for good beginnings when they face off.

YCW was a bit like Dad’s Army last season with a lot of old faces. The Stonecats have good kids and they need games in them.

Finally, neighbours Carrum Downs and Skye do battle. The Cougars and Skye were also rans last season and will need to improve significantly if they are to challenge.

King on way, Chelsea plan to rebuild team FOOTY NEWS

By Toe Punt ‘Push-up’ at Pines THINGS just seem to be getting better for Pines.

After announcing the signing of former West Coast Eagle, North Melbourne and Richmond forward Aaron Edwards, it seems Pines will welcome Jake ‘The Push-up’ King next season.

Whilst the Pythons won’t have Jake King for the entire season, he is expected to play in Round 1 and other times throughout the season.

Seagulls add more PENINSULA League cellar dwellers Chelsea have added another couple of big names to their list on the back of securing former Hawthorn premiership player Brent Guerra as coach.

Former Richmond tough man Daniel Connors is the latest addition to the Seagulls, while Port Melbourne superstar Shane Valenti has also crossed to the club.

With two former AFL players and one of the VFL’s best, the Seagulls are sure to improve next season.

However, the recruiting doesn’t

stop there from all reports. It is believed Guerra has a couple more aces up his sleeve.

Demons hunt for coach IN Nepean League, there is a lot of focus on Rye and Sorrento.

The Demons are hopeful that former league medallist Greg Doyle will take on the coaching role.

Former Sorrento premiership player Josh Moore is also in the mix.

He has plenty of good contacts in the Eastern Football League, which is appealing to the Demons. One of those ‘contacts’ is former century goal kicker, Justin Van Unen.

Further down the road at the reigning premiers, there is a hot rumour that coach Troy Schwarze is considering a move to Queensland.

Duane tops off a great year CRIB Point grand final coach and Nepean League team of the year coach, Duane Annable, capped off a wonderful year on a personal level last week after he was awarded with the South East AFL Regional Coach of the Year award.

Annable had tipped Mornington coach Stuart Seagar and Berwick coach Rhys Nisbett for the award.

The cost of winning a flag Champions: Sorrento celebrate winning the Nepean League Grand Final against Crib Point last Saturday (20 September) 15.10 (100) to 5.12 (42).

Pic: Andrew Hurst

By Toe Punt THE past 12 months of preparation, long hours, recover sessions, cold winter training nights, sweat, tears and sacrifice all came down to two hours on Saturday and Sunday – the 2014 Nepean and Peninsula League grand finals.

Congratulations to all involved in the Sorrento, Crib Point, Frankston YCW and Mornington Football Clubs for making it to the most important game of the season.

However, it’s at this time that we need to reflect on what it took to get these two teams here.

Getting to a grand final doesn’t just stop with the 35-odd players who have represented each of the grand final clubs throughout the home and away season.

Getting to the Grand Final starts with the president and their executives for the tireless effort that they put in, week-in, week-out. Whilst the players and coaches get the adulation, it’s these ‘behind the scenes’ people who keep the place ticking over. Their only reward is seeing their clubs succeed.

There’s the people who man the gates, mark the grounds, do the time keeping, sell raffle tickets, sell the beverages, man the canteen and barbecues, manage the scoreboard, clean the rooms, work behind the social club bar, run the water

and so on who are the backbone and lifeblood of the footy club.

Then, there’s the coaches and their support teams, who do so much more than turning up to training, putting out witches hats, telling players what to do and how to do it and rocking-up on match day with a whiteboard. For these guys, their season begins the very minute the last one finishes – blowing wind up the backsides of their own players to keep them at the club, telling potential recruits how good they are in a bid to entice them to their club, ensuring practice matches and grounds are organised and making sure they have a committed and hardened team wanting success.

So, when the 44 players turned up to the two grounds last weekend, they needed to remember that there was so much more on the line than them tasting premiership glory.

Every kick, handball, mark, tackle, shepherd, block and sacrifice was felt and shared by so many more than those wearing the same jumper as the players on the field.

For Sorrento and Frankston YCW, they felt the ultimate joy after a testing year of football.

For Crib Point and Mornington, they can be satisfied with their outstanding year but disappointed that they weren’t able to bring their best on the most important day of the footy year.

When ever I teach, play and even talk to people about their game l always hear “l tried to hit this amazing shot under/over a tree if l did l would have shot a much better score”.

Selecting the right club, shot is vital but expectations and capabilities can get cluttered when playing golf.

Don’t worry about the outcome just the process. To enjoy golf more taking your medicine chipping the ball out of the trees not going for that risk reward shot 5 is better than 6,7or even more. Example practice hitting high, low shots, left to right, and right to left shots.

(Hit more greens) Humble yourself go for the middle of the green you will be surprised how many more greens you will hit. Don’t go for the front left pin over the bunker.

THE all-new Mazda MX-5 will make its European auto show debut this week at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.

First unveiled in September at a global launch comprising simultaneous events in Japan, USA and Spain, the fourth-generation MX-5 is expected to give another boost to the unconventional Japanese brand, which is currently riding a wave of success.

In terms of design, the latest edition of the bestselling roadster in history is arguably the sportiest ever.

The striking rendition of Mazda’s ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ design theme is full of life, expressing the car’s agility and the exciting experience that awaits behind the wheel.

In keeping with MX-5 tradition, the cabin is snug yet comfortable. Only now it features modern conveniences like the MZD Connect connectivity system and i-ACTIVSENSE, Mazda’s innovative line-up of active safety technologies.

And what its looks promise, the technology can deliver. Under the bonnet, high-compression SKYACTIV-G petrol engines drive the rear wheels, while the specially-developed SKYACTIV-Chassis ensures the most advanced Jinba Ittai driver-and-car-as-one experience yet.

At the same time the MX-5 retains the charm, reliability, affordability and above all lightweight fun of the original model launched 25 years ago.

The pure roadster experience lives on.

TOYOTA has released images of a stunning concept car that provides the first hint of a type of vehicle the company would like to bring to the small SUV market.

The innovative Toyota C-HR concept, which will have its world premiere this week at the Paris Motor Show, presents a bold new dynamic design language.

The striking blue C-HR concept introduces an expressive new “diamond architecture” styling theme to the segment and features a hybrid powertrain.

Below its compact, sensual cabin profile, the lower bodywork has been sculpted to repre-

sent the faceted surfaces of a highly-durable, precision-cut gemstone.

The front view debuts new styling themes that hint at a future design direction for Toyota vehicles - a further development of the company’s “under priority” and “keen look” design identity.

From the side, the highly-faceted lower body, aggressively angular rear shoulders and muscular wheel arches are contrasted with an exceptionally sleek cabin profile.

Highly-distinctive, aero-inspired, floating rear light clusters further enhance the broad shoulders of the concept car’s lower bodywork.
