If sailing appeals to you but you’re not keen on getting your feet wet, land sailing could be just what you’re looking for. Victorian Blokart Association vice-president Tim Vance says the sport is perfect for families, young or old, able-bodied or wheelchair-bound, and the association is on the lookout for new members. Tim, from Langwarrin, had been sailing Hobie catamarans for more than 25 years when illness forced him in 2010 to turn to land sailing. He found the New Zealand-designed Blokart – lightweight, manoeuvrable, perfect for urban areas – ideal, and with former Frankston resident Russ Whitehouse and Brian Campbell, of Mt www.franklyfrankston.com.au
Dandenong, they established the VBA. “We have had family members come along and have such great times. Parents find it amazing to sail alongside the children and have fun chasing one another. The kids love beating mum or dad around the track, and both the parents’ and kids’ faces say it all. “The blokart is also open to people who are wheelchair-bound, giving them the opportunity to sail a land yacht and race against able-bodied people on an even level.” The blokart packs down into a suitcase-size bag and weighs less than 36kg fully rigged. There are two classes: Production, which is straight out of the box, and Performance, which includes extras such as a carbon-fibre mast. A Production-class blokart starts at $3900.
With the majority of its members living in the southeastern suburbs, the association has been keen to find land to establish a local track – but despite approaches to Frankston, Casey, Kingston and Mornington Peninsula Shire councils, it has been frustrated. Finally it turned to the western suburbs, and Melton Council came to the party with the offer of a parcel of land at its MacPherson Park sports ground. Now the VBA can concentrate on events such as the 2016 Victorian State Championships, which it will host at Melton, and growing its membership. As Tim says: “The future of blokart is just taking off.” If you’d like to give land sailing a go, the VBA has blokarts for hire at its Melton track.

Where have you drawn inspiration from? My main sources of inspiration are the materials themselves. I love discovering how different textures and colour combinations can totally change the feel of a piece. This year I have also drawn inspiration from repetitive geometric patterns in wallpaper, furnishing materials and architecture, especially staircases.

What colours are on trend this year? Black and white will be popular and will be frequently seen in bold geometric designs. Colours will vary from all tones of blue and sorbet, shades of pinks, nudes, lemon and mint to the brightest of colours.
Are flowers in trend this season? Flowers rarely go out of trend but their shapes and styles can change with time. This season we are seeing more structured petals and leaves that complement the shapes within the headpiece.

Bronzed Aussie does Woodleigh proud The entire Woodleigh School community have become overnight archery experts after watching Alec Potts (2013) become the first Woodleigh graduate to win an Olympic medal. Alec’s bronze medal in the men’s archery team event at Rio came after he, Ryan Tyack and Taylor Worth outpointed the Chinese team to take the match 6-2. Staff felt immense pride in watching the young man who, as a senior student, would spend spare periods shooting arrow after arrow at a special ‘range’ built up behind the school’s wildlife reserve. While he missed out by the narrowest of margins in his individual match against Brazilian Bernardo Oliveira, Alec feels he is shooting as well as he ever has and returns home immensely proud of his Olympic achievements. “I wasn’t expecting to go home with a medal at all,” the 20-year-old said. “To come home with a medal, I’ve done more than what I could ask for.” His mum, Shona, was justifiably delighted with his efforts. “That’s the Woodleigh boy in him – that quiet confidence and belief that you can have a go and aim high, and if you fall it’s just another step in the journey, not a stop. That’s what Woodleigh has given both our kids.” WOODLEIGH SCHOOL A: 485 Golf Links Rd, Baxter T: 5971 6100

THE BEST IN CONTEMPORARY COEDUCATION, FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD to YEAR 12
For scores of families making the long trek from Melbourne to the Peninsula in the 1950s and ‘60s, the sight of Frankston’s comfort station was a huge relief.
It would cost a penny to use the toilets (older readers might remember the phrase “spend a penny”) and there was a woman who worked there at weekends and collected the money. But the comfort station served more than just the most obvious purpose – it was a meeting place too.
It marked the midway point between the city and the holiday towns of Sorrento and Portsea, so it was an ideal stopping point whether heading south or north.
“It was the centre of town and a place where boys met girls, especially if you were going to the beach because it was the only toilet,” Glenda says. “But you weren’t allowed to wear bikinis on the main street, so if Rex the (beach) patroller caught you, he made you go back to the beach and cover up.”
“In those days you’d often have a packed lunch with you in the car, and where the carpark is now used to be all grass, so that’s where you’d sit to have your lunch,” Frankston Historical Society president Glenda Viner recalls. “There also used to be a burger shop and ice cream shop near the comfort station, and an ice cream is what you got if you’d been good in the car.”

The historical society fought successfully to save the comfort station as Frankston grew around it, and now it serves as a functioning reminder of days gone by. PHOTOS BY JP

Poppyseeds is much more than a 7am-3pm super fresh sandwich drop-in spot. This Wells St lunchtime institution has just celebrated a quarter of a century of creating scrumptious European-inspired food that customers just can’t seem to get enough of. The clue to Poppyseeds’ success is fresh is best - plus a whole lot of family devotion. Sandra Salpietro named the eatery after her much-loved grandmother Caliope (Poppy) Mexis, who owned the iconic Athens Café in Frankston from the late 1930s through to the late ‘50s. (You can still drink your coffee today from the original Athens Café crockery while sampling home-made Greek and Italian treats. What stories those coffee cups could tell if they could talk!) Sandra’s mother Aspasia is Greek and her father Angelo is Italian, and both of them work alongside Sandra and her husband Michael (Stuart). All the food at Poppyseeds is made on-site from fresh Peninsula-procured produce and the sandwiches are prepared while you wait - you can even construct your own sandwich masterpiece! All packaging is supplied by a Frankston business and there is also a wide range of deli and international food for purchase. Pop in to Poppyseeds – 25 years on and still going strong.

Johanna Griggs loves the water. She grew up on Freshwater Beach, 17km from Sydney’s centre, received a bronze medal at the 1990 Commonwealth Games for backstroke and frequently films such shows as Channel 7’s Better Homes and Gardens and House Rules near waterways. That’s where we come in, because the Mornington Peninsula is one of Johanna’s favourite surf, sand and wide open spaces places. “The beaches on the south coast are much more spacious,” she says. “Sydney is so built up. Peninsula people seem very relaxed. They make eye contact and are ready for a chat. The locals in Tootgarook (House Rules with Claire and Hagan) were so friendly. They were incredibly welcoming and kept mum about the show until it was ready to air. The food was fantastic too. “We’ve showcased the most beautiful architecture on the Peninsula in Better Homes and Gardens. The top three that come to mind are The Letterbox House at Blairgowrie and The Klein Bottle House by Mcbride Charles Ryan and the St Andrews Beach House by Sean Godsell.” Johanna is one busy lady. Between her sports commentating commitments (the Rio Olympics and Paralympics), Better Homes and Gardens, House Rules and writing articles for New Idea and the Better Homes and Gardens magazines, she also runs a construction company with her husband, Todd. “It’s great because I get ideas from the shows and can also visualise what the contestants in House Rules need to do because of my experience in construction. I love what I do so it doesn’t feel like work, but I do need some downtime sometimes. “We have a cattle farm (in the Lower Hunter Valley) where we escape to. I can just wander off and talk to the cows - they are excellent listeners!”

Menzies continues the care
sold in 1965 and a series of family group homes was established in Frankston and throughout the Peninsula.
Menzies Caring For Kids has been doing exactly that for 151 years; now more than ever it needs help to continue its admirable legacy. The not-for-profit organisation grew out of the Ragged School Mission, founded in Melbourne in 1865 to provide residential care for children. In the early 1900s, the Mission moved to Frankston and became known as the Minton Boys’ Home before a name-change to The Menzies Home for Boys in honour of long-serving committee of management president James Menzies (the father of former prime minister Sir Robert Menzies). Until the 1960s, Menzies was known for its ‘Home on the Hill’ – a large property on Olivers Hill that housed all the boys. As research on children’s care developed, large group housing was no longer seen as best practice; the Home on the Hill was

President Kevin Johnson (right), who lived in the Menzies Home for eight years from 1956 with his older brother, is justifiably proud of the organisation’s many funded projects. These include Allied Health, a partnership with Peninsula Health and three Frankston North schools to which it has committed an extra $400,000 to expand the program into Hastings and Rosebud. Menzies funds a pediatrician, a pediatrician fellow (GP in training) and an occupational therapist to provide allied support and services to the schools involved. There are plans to include still more schools as

Roy Dore Reserve is the heart of Carrum. Andrew Adams is one of those hoping to pump new life into it. Andrew represents the extensive number of clubs using the reserve and says it is one of the few that offers a pathway from junior football right through to over-50s. Netball, cricket, tennis and other sports clubs call the reserve home, putting further pressure on the dated 1970s infrastructure that “looks like a toilet block”. Andrew’s vision is for a two-storey building that could include new toilets, meeting rooms, four change rooms, a canteen, members’ bar and storage downstairs. Upstairs could house a 150-seat function room with a bar and commercial kitchen, multi-purpose rooms that could double as a space for community station Radio Carrum, and a balcony with views of both grounds. Carrum and Patterson Lakes Forum founder Cameron Howe said the community was crying out for a full redevelopment of the sporting hub and vowed the forum would continue to work with Andrew to help realise the reserve’s full potential. The clubs hope to take a concept plan to Kingston City Council and the State Government but have been struggling to come up with the necessary finance. However, Cameron says Cr John Ronke is likely to ask the council to help pay for the concept plan, which could cost more than $50,000.

Let’s gather in celebration Frankston groups, businesses and residents are invited to celebrate everything that’s great about their city at The Long Lunch on Wells. From 11.30am-4.30pm on Sunday, November 6, Wells St will come alive with buskers, clowns, magicians, children’s entertainment, and the best food, wine and beer from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. The community festival is being organised by Proudly Frankston and follows the resounding success of the organisation’s Long Lazy Lunch at Frankston Park, which over three years has featured
( 22
acts ranging from the Frankston High School Stage Band to James Morrison and has raised money for such charities as Menzies Caring For Kids, Peninsula Health and Frankton Homeless Support Services. The aim of this festival, however, isn’t to make money – although Proudly Frankston will consider using any surplus from the Long Lunch on Wells to provide “street enhancements” in conjunction with Frankston City Council to liven up the city square. According to Proudly Frankston secretary Kevin Johnson, its purpose is bringing the Frankston community together and “feeling good about where we live”. “Our Long Lunch on Wells will replicate the long-celebrated and
traditional community ‘long dinners’ around the town squares in French and other European provincial towns and cities, where patrons provide their own food,” Kevin says. “Our aim is to have 1000 citizens in our city square.” Proudly Frankston is inviting schools, community groups, sporting and service clubs and indigenous and diverse multicultural communities to join in the Long Lunch on Wells, which as
well as supporting business owners will celebrate the 50th anniversaries of Frankston being declared a city and the Frankston Football Club’s entry to the VFA/VFL. Wells St traders are being encouraged to open on the day, and Proudly Frankston is approaching Hoyts to screen selected movies for teens and ‘tweenies’. As Kevin says: “It’s all about Frankston people enjoying their city.”

There’s nothing quite like a gorgeous animal story to put a smile on your face and leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy. Or furry. Ros Almond has collected 50 or so delightful tales of Australian animals for A Wombat In My Drawer (Affirm Press). You’ll meet Bazz the labrador, who sniffs beehives for the presence of a disease that destroys the insects’ larvae – all while wearing a custom-made beekeeping suit to protect him from stings. You’ll read about Winston the python, who literally bit off more than he could chew when he swallowed the barbecue tongs his owner was using to feed him his usual meal of rats. And Swino, a wild pig who consumed 18 tinnies at a Port Hedland camping ground and went on a drunken rampage before passing out under a log. There are incredible stories of animals’ attachment to us humans. When Lulu’s carer, Len, was knocked unconscious by a falling tree branch, the
( 24
Strassman and his techy bear
10-year-old western grey kangaroo began “barking” to alert Len’s family (Skippy would have been so proud). And when an elderly farmer broke his hip on his Benalla property and was unable to move, his pet goat and his dog stayed by his side for five days – the dog lying next to him to keep him warm at night and the goat allowing him to drink her milk so he’d remain hydrated. There are also animals that form unlikely interspecies friendships – such as Iris, a retriever-mastiff cross employed by Taronga Zoo staff as a companion for
a cheetah cub called Siri after she was rejected by her mother; and Samson the poodle, who has helped raise kangaroo and wombat joeys and dingo pups at Geelong’s Jirrahlinga Sanctuary. Sometimes it seems as if our intolerance of each other’s differences is increasing. Perhaps we should look to these animals as an example of how to get along.

Faces that turn heads Total Face Group is bringing good looks to the Peninsula thanks to a highly experienced team of doctors, aesthetic nurse consultants and dermal therapists. An innovative cosmetic and injectable clinic, Total Face Group offers clients the ability to create their best face and body possible with an emphasis on looking natural. “With the arrival of spring there’s no better time to think about how you can look and feel your best,” says chief executive Jo Hannah (below). “We’re committed to helping our clients through personalised, long-term treatment plans carefully created by medical professionals to achieve effortless-looking improvements.” The result is a considered, realistic and gentle journey to looking your absolute best. “We’ve all seen those people who turn heads for the wrong reasons, because everyone can clearly see the work they’ve had done. At Total Face Group, we are the antithesis of this. Our clients turn heads because we ensure each treatment plan is perfect for the individual, making them look and feel amazing.” Total Face Group’s Peninsula clinic offers a range of cosmetic treatments including anti-ageing

injections, skin rejuvenation and CoolSculpting treatments overseen by aesthetic nurse consultant Michelle Bird. Jo’s final advice to those who think the world of cosmetic treatments isn’t for them is to carefully think about how wonderful it feels to receive a sincere compliment. “When we look good we feel good, and wouldn’t it be wonderful to feel good more often?” TOTAL FACE GROUP A: 1050 Nepean Highway, Mornington T: 13 32 23 W: totalfacegroup.com.au/peninsula/

We throw away more than 18 million printer cartridges every year, contributing to the growing amount of e-waste and leading to possible soil and groundwater contamination. Printer cartridges are made up of a complex mix of plastics, metal, inks and toners, resources that are lost when the cartridges are sent to landfill. Planet Ark is urging Frankston businesses and residents to stop this waste by taking part in Cartridges 4 Planet Ark. Cartridges 4 Planet Ark provides Australians with a free, easy and environmentally-accredited way to recycle their used printer cartridges, and Planet Ark hopes it will help divert 34 million cartridges from landfill before the end of March next year. Cartridge manufacturers Brother, Canon, Epson, HP,
Konica Minolta and Kyocera have joined the initiative to collectively take responsibility for the end life of their products, and many councils and businesses have established their own cartridge collection depots. If your business goes through more than three cartridges a month on average, you can get a collection box at your workplace that will be periodically collected. You can also find the nearest collection bin by visiting RecyclingNearYou.com.au or phoning 1800 242 473, and there are recycling boxes at participating Officeworks, Australia Post, Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, Good Guys, Office National and Office Products Depot stores and outlets. Seventimes world champion surfer Layne Beachley is the campaign’s ambassador. Inkjet cartridges, toner cartridges and toner bottles are accepted, including cartridges used in printers, photocopiers and fax machines.

While choosing their delicious treats, our customers can wander through our special section on the history of Australian confectionery and chocolate companies as illustrated through retro packaging and advertising memorabilia.” To mark last month’s opening, Will and his team created a gourmet chocolate pizza topped with pepitas and dried inca berries, goji berries, blueberries and cranberries. “We love creating new
and innovative products. Our aim is to create unique, exotic and exciting combinations for a real taste bud sensation.” Will says Chocolate Grove is the only Australian chocolate company with Coeliac Australia accreditation. Many of its products are gluten and allergen-free, and no chocolate contains palm oil or vegetable fat.

They soften the link between your indoor and outdoor living areas while enhancing the ambience of a room by adding movement and texture. Wavefold sheers drape with a smooth continuous wave effect, creating a relaxed and elegant look, and the floating fabric adds softness and warmth to a room. They are also surprisingly easy to operate. With the flick of a wand and minimal effort your curtains can glide easily from side to side.

Now is the perfect time to sow seed for your first warm season crops. Beans, corn, cucumber, eggplant, pumpkin, squash, tomato and zucchini can all go in now along with continual sowings of year-rounders such as beetroot, broccoli, carrot, radish, turnip, lettuces and other leafy greens. And don’t forget the spuds. If you’re not too keen on raising your vegetables from seed you can purchase seedlings from most good nurseries, but the range you can get from seed is both vast and economical.
Companion planting involves grouping plants that will support each other’s growth, deter or confuse potential pests and make the most of your available soil space. Common examples are planting basil and marigolds around tomato plants, sowing onions with carrots and the popular ‘three sisters’ (corn, beans and squash), but there are many other planting combinations that work well. Mixing up your plantings can lead to some really creative and productive gardens. Many of the crops we grow during this period are heavy feeders,
meaning they will require some additional nutrition. There are many commercial organic fertilisers on the market but it is just as easy - and cheaper - to source and make your own. Our favourite is a combination of worm juice from the trusty worm farm mixed with a green compost tea made from comfrey, nasturtium and stinging nettle leaves. You can apply your liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season. Be sure to water in well if it is a strong brew.
Happy gardening.

Colour, depth and fluid drama is what you get in a Billy Nye painting. Her obsession with suburbia and what lies behind has led to her Olivers Hill series where Frankston life and its various shades of vibrant colour crash onto the canvas with confidence and clear intention. Nye’s work is reminiscent of Australian artist Howard Arkley and English painter David Hockney combined but with an unmistakable Frankston/Peninsula bent. Roads, water, homes and sea merge to create a visual depth where the uniqueness of living where the land meets the sea is represented through abstract expressionism. (Nye is also greatly influenced by the late American painter Richard Diebenkorn.) “Why would I ever leave the Peninsula again? Everything I need is here. I’ve lived in New York (The Hamptons) and London, but there’s nowhere in the world like the Peninsula. I think I’m on the tip of something big here. I’ve come full circle and I’m a survivor. I gave my first painting of Olivers Hill to my parents. I did that at 17. Now I just have to keep painting it in more brilliant colour!” (Nye has bi-polar disorder and actually sees everything in mega colour, which is reflected in her standout acrylic on canvas works.) She has also ‘almost’ completed a Fine Art and Visual Culture double degree at Curtin University. “Olivers Hill is the jewel of the Mornington Peninsula,” she continues, and there really is nothing quite like www.franklyfrankston.com.au

Feisty Frankston blood pumps through Billy Nye’s veins. From a teenage girl riding to the Frankston pier to ‘do homework’ after the bell rang at Frankston High School to pulling on her Treads and floating down Olivers Hill from her parents’ Cliff Rd home to the Pier Hotel, this painter/ printmaker has travelled the world and landed right back where she likes it best – on Mornington Peninsula soil and in Manyung Gallery Mt Eliza.
reaching that crest of the hill where all of a sudden the expansive blue and white shoreline spills out before hitting Frankston town.
