ASPENDALE’S St Louis de Montfort’s Primary School keeps on scooping up awards for its 5-star sustainability precinct including gardens in the school grounds. The United Nations Association of Australia is the latest organisation to marvel at the school’s precinct, opened in 2013, deciding to give St Louis a top Environmental School gong.

Scams lead crime spike Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au WORRYING trends in Kingston crime statistics released last week show spikes in cyber crime, telephone scams, and thefts of, and from, motor cars. The statistics show thefts are up 17.5 per cent (from 3524 to 4141) in the 12 months to March this year, and deceptions are up 104 per cent (from 545 to 1114) in the same period. Property and Deception offences as a category, taking in arson, property
damage, burglaries/break-ins, thefts and deception, rose from 5789 to 7192 – 24 per cent – in the 12 months to March this year, giving police cause for concern. Inspector Bruce Kitchen, the new head of Kingston police, said there had been a “slight increase” in crime overall – with other categories, such as Crimes against the person up 10.5 per cent; Drug offences up 12 per cent, and Public order and security offences up 3 per cent. Assaults are slightly down (1.1 per cent).
“We are seeing a slight rise in crime overall, but particularly in crime scams, such as telephone callers saying they are from the tax office and demanding that older people, in particular, deposit money into bogus accounts or send money by wire transfer,” he said. “And, as usual, there is ongoing theft of valuables from cars, especially overnight, when they are parked in driveways and out on the street, with stolen credit cards used to buy things via PayWave. “Also, we are finding lots of number
plates being stolen and the cars used for drive-by thefts, such as from service stations, and other robberies.” Inspector Kitchen said there were “no real trends” in figures for shop and factory break-ins in areas of Kingston, including Braeside, Mordialloc, Mentone and Southland. But he said 40 per cent of commercial burglaries related to shopkeepers leaving money in their tills overnight. “Our message is all about enhancing security, such as emptying the till and placing it on top of the cash register in
full view of the window to show that it is empty,” he said. Inspector Kitchen said police would be rostered to patrol crime areas when statistics show they are busiest. “Commercial burglaries and car thefts are usually in the dark hours around 3am so we will be especially vigilant then and, hopefully, deter the beggars,” he said. Inspector Kitchen began his career in 1978 and was transferred to Moorabbin in 1983. “We used to work the footy crowds at Linton St,” he said.

EMBERS still burning in a rear fireplace when the Mortensen family went to bed are believed responsible for the fire which gutted their Station St, Bonbeach house, early Saturday (18 June). Chelsea police said the flames spread up a back wall and into the ceiling which then collapsed, allowing the fire to fully engulf the single-storey brick house by the time fire crews arrived at 3am.
The family of five and two relatives staying overnight were all uninjured, thanks to parent Anthony Mortensen, who quickly got everyone outside and out of harm’s way. He was later praised by firefighters for his quick thinking. Mr Mortensen, 52, suffered minor burns and smoke inhalation and was taken to Frankston Hospital for treatment. Other family members stayed
overnight with neighbours. The CFA remained onsite overnight to cope with spot fires. The fire is not deemed suspicious. “It’s a timely reminder for everyone during the winter and colder months to make sure that your fireplace guards are in place or the fire is out before you go to bed each night,” Country Fire Authority senior station manager Ricky Read told news services.

Bell rings on lifetime in the classroom Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au “IT takes a village to raise a child” is an old saying that still rings true for retiring Patterson River Secondary College principal Maree Vinocuroff. “I am concerned with challenges facing students, such a lack of connectedness with the community,” she said as she prepared for her departure this week. “If you take the school to be the village, it follows that structures and discipline are important features in the development of children. “When I was young we referred to adults as Mr and Mrs and relatives as aunty or uncle, whereas now they can call us anything they like.” Ms Vinocuroff has been at the college for 39 years as a classroom teacher, assistant principal and principal for the past 15 years, but is looking forward to having more free time to play golf, travel and be involved in Chelsea Rotary projects. “I have seen the school move from strength to strength and become very well respected in the community,” she said yesterday. “Over the years I have seen many students achieve success, some of whom are now staff members or parents of current students themselves. I have always been very proud of our students and their many and varied achievements.” That said, she is concerned about a “lack of resilience” in young people – sometimes caused by parents opting to fight their children’s battles for them.
“When I was young if I had a problem but wouldn’t tackle it my parents would tell me to ‘toughen up’ and get on with it,” she said. “It all comes back to having strong family values, and the majority of families here are fantastic.” She said the rise of social media was also “an issue”, with students obsessed with what each other are doing every minute of the day. “I worry that it breeds a lack of creativity,” she said. In her time, Patterson River Secondary College has seen some major improvements, such as the new basketball stadium, performing arts centre, music program and the Soiree held each year, while education as a profession had benefited from the introduction of VCE, VCAL and VET. “The school went from 800 students when I arrived, to a peak of 1200 and now it’s back to 1060,” she said. “We have done well and the students have achieved excellent results: I am certainly proud of them. “Now I am seeing the children of former students here, and we have eight staff members who are former students.” Ms Vinocuroff said invidious comparisons between Australian students and the high scholastic achievements of those in other countries were often misplaced. Travelling to education leader Finland to see for herself she discovered “a bit of a beat up” in analogies between us and them. Apples were not being compared with apples, according to Ms Vinocuroff. “They are a country of few migrants, where parents demand success and

where there is tremendous respect for teachers,” she said, citing Singapore as another example of a disciplined society which would baulk at the freedoms offered in schools here. “Students over there would list their favourite times as reading, probably because of the weather, whereas here there is so much to do outside.” She said Australian schools often “struggled with high migrant populations, and with looking after the overall wellbeing of their students”. “That’s part of the job of teachers here, as many kids are
from separated families, or have mental health issues. We act as a whole community in the support of our students.” Ms Vinocuroff has a lot to look back on, having been in the education sector for 46 years. “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time and will look back fondly,” she said. “I am proud to be leaving the school in good condition with excellent results and continually improving facilities.” Her successor as principal, yet to be chosen, will begin in Term 4.
Creek stoush deepens KINGSTON Council insists it has the authority to re-licence land alongside Mordialloc Creek after the Department of Environment Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) notified council it is reviewing creek-side boundaries. Council is seeking vacant possession of land occupied by Leon Pompei, son of ‘Mr Mordialloc’ Jack Pompei. Council CEO John Nevins says council is the committee of management for the land on which Mr Pompei’s business, Pompei Marine, is situated. “Council does not, nor has it ever, had a licence agreement with Mr Leon Pompei,” Mr Nevins said in a statement. “Council had a licence agreement with his mother, the late Gwen Pompei, which was issued in April 2009 and expired in March 2012.” Mr Nevins said the DELWP is seeking legal advice on the state process to appoint council of management for a section of water in Mordialloc Creek since it falls under Melbourne Water jurisdiction. “It is council’s legal advice the DELWP’s actions do not impact on council’s ability to seek vacant possession of the land occupied by Pompei’s Marine,” Mr Nevins said. “Council has authorised its solicitors to take this action.” Council decided to split three licences at the creek between Mr Pompei, the Mordialloc Boating and Angling Club and council in February last year. Mr Pompei is refusing to sign a licence and argues council has no authority over the land.

Help for family violence victims KINGSTON’S Charitable Fund has awarded $29,000 to the Emerge Women and Children’s Support Network to help families experiencing domestic violence. Mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley recently presented the group with a $29,000 Innovation Grant - the largest grant offered by the Kingston Charitable Fund – at Kingston’s annual fundraising gala. More than $20,000 was raised this year. Emerge Women and Children’s Support Network is the only independent specialist domestic violence service located in Melbourne’s Southern suburbs. Emerge CEO Paula Westhead said there was an important need for this work, especially in Kingston: “We are grateful for the grant. It will enable Emerge to offer this holiday workshop to children and their mothers who have experienced domestic violence in the Kingston area. “This trauma-focused workshop will enable children to increase their skills, promoting confidence, self-esteem, sharing and communicating and most importantly address the trauma they have experienced,” Ms Westhead said. The Kingston Charitable Fund was launched in 2007 by Kingston Council in partnership with the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation. The Fund has distributed more than $400,000 in grants to more than 52 local non-profit organisations.
UN nod for school’s sustainable efforts EVERYTHING is coming up roses and other flowers for St Louis de Montfort’s Primary School at its award-winning sustainability precinct and gardens officially opened in 2013. The Aspendale school has won a series of awards for its 5-star efforts to cultivate 5-star ResourceSmart School gardens. An Environmental School Award from the United Nations Association of Australia is the latest accolade to head St Louis de Montfort’s way and teacher Julie Wynne has been named joint Victorian Environmental Educator of the Year by Environment Victoria. “The school has worked tirelessly in recent years to raise the
awareness and profile of sustainable education through hands-on learning opportunities for the local community,” Ms Wynne said. “Since 2012 St Louis has taken a holistic approach to creating a oneof-a-kind education program and sustainable environment that supports a whole school approach to education the next generation of proactive environmental citizens.” Pupils learn about planting, harvesting and preparing food from the school gardens and animal husbandry by caring for goats, ducks, chickens, geese and guinea pigs. Local flora and fauna have been re-established by working in the school’s ponds and reptile enclosures and nearby wetlands.

Club’s 25th anniversary celebrations fit for ‘the King’ ‘ELVIS’ was in the building and proved he is still a hit with members of the Mordialloc-Chelsea Evening VIEW Club which celebrated its 25th birthday last week. The active women, many of whom were working and unable to attend meetings during the day, set up the club all those years ago so they could contribute to the community. The milestone dinner, on Tuesday 7 June at Patterson River Golf Club, Bonbeach, had the theme of silver, black and white, with the surprise entertainment on the night an Elvis impersonator. The club provides women with the opportunity to exchange ideas over dinner once a month while working
together with a common purpose – supporting the education of disadvantaged children through fundraising for The Smith Family. “It’s an active club, full of amazing women from all occupations and backgrounds and we enjoy a full calendar of social activities,” president Margaret Hayes said. “In the past 25 years we have had an incredible line-up of guest speakers at our monthly dinners, however, the most inspiring stories are often from our own members. “Our greatest achievement is being able to support dozens of children through The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program, and, at the same time, being an important
network for each other.” Interested women wanting to join the club for fun and friendship are welcome. VIEW stands for Voice, Interests and Education of Women and is a valued part of The Smith Family. Members help to change the lives of young people in need – 1100 at last count – through fundraising, volunteering, advocating and sponsoring disadvantaged students through the Learning for Life program.

Boxing on after ‘toxic blood’ bout
The federal election will be held on Saturday 2 July 2016. Enrolment and voting is compulsory for all eligible citizens over the age of 18 years. Everyone who is on the electoral roll must vote in this federal election. If you can’t make it to a polling place on election day, there may be options to assist you including postal voting and early voting. Remember that you can only vote once in the election. For more information go to www.aec.gov.au or contact the AEC on 13 23 26. GT21923
“EXCRUCIATING pain” caused Kingston councillor Rosemary West to go to her doctor but she was surprised by the diagnosis – sepsis. Sepsis is blood poisoning caused by toxins and is ultimately what killed boxing legend and activist Muhammad Ali this month when the 74-year-old, who also suffered from Parkinson’s disease, succumbed to organ failure due to “septic shock”. Cr West says a doctor told her she had the highest level of toxins in her blood seen in a St Vincent’s Hospital admission. “The disease, sometimes described as a staph infection, blood poisoning or most simply sepsis is not well known,” she said. The disease is often caused by toxins entering the blood stream, usually through infection of a wound. “I’m keen for people to be aware of sepsis in case someone else finds themselves in excruciating pain with no apparent cause and needs to remind their doctor to test their blood for this especially nasty bug.” Sepsis sufferers can lose legs due to poor blood flow but fortunately this was not the case for Cr West. Cr West’s hospital stay meant she was unable to attend the public council meetings over the past two months. “A bit of good fortune is it’s not contagious so I have the all-clear to resume my council duties as soon as I am strong enough. “For someone who has virtually never been ill before, it has certainly been an adventure, though not one you would wish on anyone.” Neil Walker

Tensions rise over sky rail Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au
Walkers confronted: The man police wish to speak to about a trail clash.
Spitting mad at aggressive approach on creek trail FRANKSTON police are appealing for public help after two Seaford women were confronted by an aggressive man while walking along Kananook Creek Trail. At 11am, Monday 6 June, the women, aged in their 50s, were walking north along the trail, between McCulloch Av and Seaford Rd, Seaford, when they noticed a man following them. He ran up behind the women and became aggressive, even spitting on one of them. They took photos before being able to move on. Neither of the women was injured during the incident. Police have released the images of the man in the hope that someone in the community can identify him. Anyone with any information about the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic. com.au
A STATE government intervention over the possibility of elevated rail along the Frankston line has been condemned by Liberal candidate for Isaacs Garry Spencer. Mr Spencer says media statements by state Labor Transport Minister Jacinta Allan and federal Labor Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus this month was full of “weasel words” and did not rule out sky rail (Sky rail ‘grounded’, The News 15/6/16). “Mark Dreyfus can’t hide behind Labor’s weasel words,” Mr Spencer said in a statement. “Whether Labor wants to call it sky rail or not, whether it is 23km of continuous elevated rail or several multikilometre stretches, people don’t want it,” Mr Spencer said. Mr Dreyfus faces voters on federal election polling day on 2 July but the Level Crossing Removal Authority, a state Department of Transport body, will announce options two weeks after the federal election for the separation of rail and road at eight level crossing intersections along the Frankston line. A final decision on road over rail or rail over road at each crossing will be made at the end of the year. Liberal state Upper House MP for the South Eastern Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich notes Ms Allan “failed to rule out lengthy stretches of elevated rail”. All she did was rule out one continuous elevated line from Cheltenham to Frankston, basically proposing a rollercoaster,” Ms Peulich said.
Political stoush: The spectre of sky rail remains a clear and present danger for the Frankston line according to the Liberal Party. Picture: Gary Sissons
Ms Peulich said when she was in government, engineers advised that Melbourne’s current trains require 400 metres to get up or down and 200 metres flat for a station. “This means the rail must be elevated or sunk for at least 3.5km from Seaford to Chelsea to remove the three crossings at Carrum and Bonbeach, and get over Patterson River,” she said. Ms Allan and Mr Dreyfus have accused the Liberal Party of running a “dishonest campaign” against sky rail on the Frankston line and say no official decision has been made on the construction of elevated rail on the Frankston line. LXRA project director Adam Maguire said planning and consultation is continuing for the eight remaining level crossing removals along the Frankston line. “This is quite unlike the Caulfield to Dandenong project where the Level
Crossing Authority is removing all nine crossings between these two suburbs.”
Correction LAST week’s article ‘Sky rail ‘grounded’’ (The News 15/6/16) inadvertently attributed comments about the state Liberal Party’s “dishonest” anti-sky rail campaign to state Labor Transport Minister Jacinta Allan instead of federal Isaacs Labor MP Mark Dreyfus. Comments made by Mr Dreyfus about the state Liberal Party’s involvement in a doublecrossed.com.au site and flyer were also inadvertently attributed to Ms Allan. The misattributions occurred due to a poorly-worded media release. Despite no retraction or amendment being sought The News wishes to correct the record.

Restaurant hit twice in week
A MORDIALLOC beachside restaurant has been hit hard by thieves twice in the past week. Windows on the Bay, in Beach Rd, was robbed of $7000 cash and a $3500 safe stolen overnight Sunday 19 June – only five days after the venue was robbed of almost $3000 in another overnight raid, Thursday 16 June. In the latest incident, thieves smashed an office window and used extreme force to remove a heavy safe – bolted to the floor – containing the cash. Police said the thieves appeared to have carried the safe out through the restaurant’s front doors as it was too big and heavy to fit through the office window. They then locked the doors and went back inside and escaped through the office window. Computers and iPads in the restaurant were not touched. Windows on the Bay manager Line Thye described the robberies as “a big shock” – especially for her father, Palle Thye, who owns the popular beach-side eatery. “It was awful finding out,” she said. “We have CCTV but it’s rather dark around here at night with no lighting in the park.” She said there had been only one other break-in at the 22-year-old restaurant in the past six years. Police believe the same offenders may have been involved. Ms Thye said restaurant gift vouchers had been stolen along with cash. She warned people who may be offered the vouchers that they had no value. After the earlier raid, a chef arrived at 8am, Friday 17 June, to find the back door open and items strewn across the office floor and the safe moved. The thieves had used a jemmy bar to force open a kitchen door and then smashed their way into an administration area using a fire extinguisher, rifling through draws and cupboards. They stole $800 in tips, the previous night’s takings of $1164 and a $1000 wedding deposit. Police said the thieves had not attempted to open or remove the safe in the earlier raid. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
Woman stalked
A BEAUMARIS woman told police she was followed on three occasions by a man as she left Cheltenham station. In the latest incident, the woman, 26, got off the train, 7.40pm, Wednesday 15 June, and walked towards her car in Coape St. She noticed a man following her close behind as she passed Cheltenham Primary School and crossed the road; the man did the same. She quickened her pace and the man did, too. Near Coape St the woman phoned a friend and said she was being followed. When she turned the man had disappeared. The woman told police the same man followed
her, 6pm, 7 June, at the same location. She said she started running and the man did the same, and then hid behind trees when the woman turned around. On another occasion late last year he bent down and pretended to tie his shoe laces even though he was wearing shoes without laces. The woman reported the incidents to the station PSOs and also to Cheltenham police. The man is described as Caucasian, late 20s, slim-to-medium build, 180cm, wearing a grey hoodie with the hood up and pale coloured jeans. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
Woman assaulted TWO men went to a Beaumaris woman’s aid at a Charman Rd service station, 8.20pm, Friday 17 June, after she was pushed up against her car by a man who appeared to be intoxicated. After filling up with petrol, the woman, 20, had seen the man place a full jerry can on her passenger seat. She put the can on the ground and, as the man walked up behind her, asked: “What do you want? This is my car.” The man reportedly became aggressive and grabbed the woman on her shoulder and tried to force her to the ground. When she called for help two customers challenged the offender who backed off. T he woman, 20, drove away and later reported the incident to Cheltenham police. However, at 9.20pm the same day, the offender returned to the service station and reportedly became aggressive to the attendant while demanding to see CCTV footage of the incident. H e claimed two men had stolen his car while he was paying for petrol. Police attended and watched the footage which showed the man arriving on foot to fill the jerry can with petrol. He was reportedly too drug or alcohol affected to be interviewed but he is expected to be charged on summons with unlawful assault at a later date.

Bandits arrested
TWO young bandits allegedly pointed a shotgun at a Patterson Lakes service station attendant, 1.17am, Tuesday 14 June, before stealing $900 from the till. They then drove off east along Thompson Rd in a stolen Ford sedan which was later pulled over by highway police in Dandenong. A man and a woman, both 18, were arrested and charged with armed robbery and attempted armed robbery. A third person ran off and is still at large. The man is under guard at Casey hospital. Court locations and dates are yet to be determined.

Soft crabs find strength in numbers Words and pictures: Sheree Marris, aquatic scientist and raconteur FORGET the epic aggregations of wildebeest you’ve seen on documentaries, the Mornington Peninsula has something far more spectacular on its front doorstep. To see it, you’ll need to ditch the binoculars and grab a mask, snorkel and wetsuit because it’s in the waters of Port Phillip. Around this time every year as the waters cool, hundreds of thousands of giant spider crabs make their way up onto the sandy shallows along the southern shores of the bay. As the name suggests these crabs are impressive in size, with a body measuring over 17cm and long legs that stretch up to 70cm. The result is an orange army of crabs that blanket the shallows, which can stretch for hundreds of metres and crabs can be 10 deep. Scientists believe this aggregation is a case of safety in numbers. Like their crustacean relatives, giant spider crabs need to shed their hard protective shell to grow. During this time their body is soft and they are vulnerable to the mouths of hungry hunters such as rays, seals and even birds. Getting together in such huge numbers to moult reduces the chance of being eaten. Surprisingly, there has been little research conducted on this natural phenomenon, although an active community of citizen scientists are doing a great job of documenting their movements. It’s a sight that needs to be seen to be believed. The bonus is, anyone can. Where? Around the southern end of Port Phillip. The crabs are still on the move and you can keep updated on the Spider Crabs Melbourne Facebook page, which has regular reports of their whereabouts and the best time to safely see them. Although they’re harmless, it is not recommended to pick up the crabs.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Wounded soldiers enjoy Frankston Compiled by Melissa Walsh WOUNDED Soldiers at Frankston. Frankston has spoilt its reputation for being slow and whosoever may have been under that impression will no longer think so when they consider the big undertaking and successful carrying out of last Wednesday’s programme. Word was received on Monday by the Red Cross Society that a trip had been arranged to Frankston for nearly 200 wounded soldiers, who had to wait four days in Melbourne for their boat before they could proceed to their homes in Queensland and New South Wales, and the society lost no time in making all necessary arrangements to provide the best entertainment possible for our fighters and heroes every one. Mt Eliza Red Cross Society, the “Wattles” Club, and each individual sprang into action and worked unitedly, with one object in view, to give the soldiers a good time while the opportunity lasted. Money, refreshments, and cigarettes poured in from every direction. The day was fine but very cold and the men, who were welcomed by the President and Committee of the Red Cross Society, showed their appreciation of the hot tea, coffee and refreshments which were provided under such pleasant circumstances. The hall had been gaily decorated by a bevy of young people and the Langwarrin Band enlivened the proceedings by playing selections. The
band which accompanied the soldiers also played after refreshments had been partaken of. The return journey was commenced at about 5.15, each heart filled with gratitude and all available pocket space filled with fruit etc. The opportunity was taken to hold a short dance which was thoroughly enjoyed by lovers of the light fantastic, the Langwarrin band providing the music for most of the dancers. Misses Williams and Hartland also assisted. A hearty vote of thanks was moved by Mr Hartland and seconded by Mr Hunt, to the Langwarrin Band for their splendid services during the afternoon and evening. *** WORD was received by Mrs C Bunny on Wednesday morning that her husband, Lance Corporal Bunny, 5th Battalion, has been reported wounded, though it does not state whether seriously or otherwise. Further news will be anxiously looked for. *** FURTHER word has been received by his parents that Private E. F. Reynolds is in Harefield Park Hospital, London, and that his condition is stationary. He is suffering from gunshot wound in the back and an operation will be necessary. *** AN unfortunate accident happened to Mr W. G. Baxter, on Tuesday afternoon, while employed shoeing a young horse at Mr H. Cameron’s smithy. It appears that they had the
animal in the yard, tied up, and it suddenly lunged out and caught Baxter on the leg, causing a bad fracture. The injured man was at once conveyed to the Melbourne Hospital, where he is progressing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. *** THE following letter has been received by Miss Eleanor Chrisp, secretary, Red Cross Society Mt Eliza, from Lieut. J. Green A.A. M.C., Quartermaster, No.5 Aust. Gen. Hospital— “ On behalf of the patients of this hospital I beg to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of your donation 3½ cases apples, 2 boxes pastry and cakes. Your kindness is very greatly appreciated and I can assure you that every care will be taken to see that your gift if put to the possible use. *** MR John Grice, of Hawksburn, has just received word that his son, Captain Thomas Gerald Grice, has been killed in France. Captain Grice, who was just 32 years of age, was educated partly at Geelong Grammar School and partly at Clifton College, England. In 1902 be joined the 60th Rifles, but retired from the army in 1908 and settled down at Invernell, NSW, where in 1911 he married Miss Clarice Joyce Hewlett, of Waverley, Sydney. After war broke out he proceeded to England and obtained a commission in the 2nd Scottish Rifles. This is the regiment to which had belonged his
brother, George, who as a lieutenant was killed on Christmas Day, 1901, at Tweefontein, South Africa. *** THE social held by the “Wattles” Club, on Saturday night, was a thorough success. Dancing commenced at 8 o’clock and was heartily indulged in till 11.30, which time, judging from appearances and expressions, came all too soon. However, realising that all good things must come to an end and with the assurance that another social evening would be held shortly, home sweet home was sought, with lingering memories of a most enjoyable evening having been spent. The music, which was supplied gratis, by a party from Melbourne. Miss Strettle, (piano); Mr H. Cook, (violin); and Mr Les. Shugg, (clarinet), was all that could he desired and was appreciated by the Club as well as the dancers. Our popular local entertainer, Master Keith Tait, contributed a song in his usual good style, and Miss Powell sang, “Wonderful Rose of Love” with good effect. A light supper was provided for the artists by a few of the members. The sum to be handed over to the soldiers’ Recreation Hall fund, at Langwarrin will be published next week as all money is not yet in hand. *** FRANKSTON Court of Petty Sessions Monay 19 June, 1916.(Before Messrs C. V. G: Williams, Wl. J. Oates. and C. W. Grant, J’s P.) Stealing Drapery: John Patrick
Casey, a goods guard, employed on the Victorian Railways was charged with feloniously stealing a quantity of drapery from the railways on 28th of last April. Mr Borsum prosecuted on behalf of the Department, and Mr Jones appeared on behalf of the accused. J. Coutes, stationmaster, at Somerville, deposed: “I was on duty on 28th April. Assisted to load 14 tins and 2 hampers of samples on account of Mr Bamfield, traveller for Robert Reid and Co., of Finders Street, Melbourne. They appeared to be intact, and in good condition. Made out a way bill and sent it alone with the goods.” S. V. Waider deposed: “Am a laborer, employed by the Railway Department. Was on duty on the morning of 29th April. Tallied the contents of the truck No. 8651. Tallied out goods on way bill produced. I found 4 tins with the straps cut and brown paper sticking out of the edges of the tins. I reported same at the time, and entered same in discrepancy book. Produced the book showing the discrepancy mentioned.” When asked how he would plead the accused on the advice of his lawyer did not answer and he was committed for trial in Melbourne on the 3rd July next, bail being set at 50 pounds. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 24 June, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Craig David: biscuit prophet, snack food Soothsayer By Stuart McCullough IT’S about trust, I think. When you strip away the artifice of marketing and the mercurial nature of personal preference, all that’s left is the sacred bond between man and biscuit. But it’s a fragile thing; capable of being spooked and irretrievably harmed at any point. Trust is a nerve ending, a phantom limb. It should never, under any circumstances, be taken for granted. Lo betide those who treat it with disrespect or malice. For whilst you can do almost anything in this big old world, what you cannot do (under any circumstance) is ruin one of this country’s most beloved biscuits. I speak, of course, of Arnott’s Barbecue Shapes. It takes a certain amount of chutzpah to dare disturb perfection. For as long as I can recall, Arnott’s Barbecue Shapes have been part of my life. My father would arrive home from work and prepare a plate consisting of Shapes, cheese and slices of kabana. In a better world, Masterchef would devote a week to this dish. During my student years, Barbecue Shapes were my go-to snack of choice. Later, it was not uncommon for me to consume a box of these red-speckled miracles on a Friday night and consider it dinner. Thick or thin, for better for worse, in sickness and in health: Arnott’s Barbecue Shapes have been a constant. If not by my side, then at least somewhere up the back of the pantry. All that is over now. Without so much as a whiff of consultation, they have changed the recipe. And by ‘changed’ I mean ‘completely and utterly ruined’. What possessed them? Logic tells me that, if not Satan, then certainly one of his scaly-skinned,
PAGE 16
cloven-footed harbingers of evil. Or someone in marketing. Either way, it’s terrifying. We cannot stand idly by whilst either the dark overlord perched
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 22 June 2016
atop his skull throne or, alternatively, a campaign manager named ‘Tarquin’ wantonly alters biscuit recipes as part of a scheme to unpick the stitches of
goodwill that otherwise hold all of humanity together. We must rise up and overthrow the tyranny of substandard snack foods. I had no warning that so seismic a shift was in the offing. As a result, I was denied the opportunity to stockpile supplies to see out the current drift towards insanity. Worse still is the fact that I’d only just finished the last of the Barbecue Shapes I’d hoarded before New Year’s Day, 2000, in the off chance that civilization as we knew it might come to an end. (Incidentally, people mocked me for thinking the world was on the verge of collapsing, but that was in the pre-Kardashian era. History, I think, was vindicated me somewhat.) As a result, I have nothing except my memories of a biscuit so great, mysterious and wonderful that I genuinely fear that we will never see its like again. When I entered the supermarket, I had no inkling of the horror that was to come. Strolling down the coffee / tea / biscuit aisle with my basket, I spied a large display of Barbecue Shapes at a heavily discounted price. At that moment I thought that, if not all my Christmases, then the one in 1986 when my parents gave me a ghetto blaster, had come at once. In a state of blissful ignorance I loaded up the basket firmly believing that I would be dining out on nothing but Barbecue Shapes for the foreseeable future. Little did I know. The packet promised a ‘bigger’ flavour. They succeeded. But it’s hard to think of so stark an example where bigger is absolutely not better. From the moment the first one catapulted my lips to land on my tongue, it un-
leashed an assault on the senses. And by ‘assault’ I mean rusty lead pipes and bicycle chains in a soiled alleyway rather than, say, unicorns and fireworks. These were not flavours so much as a form of chemical warfare. It was as if someone had decided to make Barbecue Shapes taste more like an actual Barbecue. Probably the one at your local park that some inconsiderate sod used three weeks ago and left without giving the hotplate a clean. Why Arnotts? Why? It makes sense to me now. This is not a bolt from the blue. It is, instead, the fulfillment of a prophecy. I speak, of course, of Craig David. An English R and B singer with overly precise facial hair and a passion for pristine sneakers, his 2002 single ‘What’s Your Flava?’ seemed little more than a mediocre pop confection that tried too hard to be funky, succeeding instead in having all the groove of a box of spanners. But now I realize he was trying to tell me something. In posing the question, ‘What’s Your Flava?’, Craig David prophesized the Great Barbecue Shape Shemozzle of 2016. Why didn’t I listen? Apparently, having been bombarded by angry customers, many of whose taste buds will never be the same again, the company has returned the ‘original’ flavour to stores. This is so much more that a corporate error of judgment. It’s the kind of event that should see a welfare agency swoop in and confiscate the recipe, lest it should come to any further harm. I suppose I’ll get over it. In the end, I may be furious at Arnotts, but I can’t stay angry with Barbecue Shapes. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Kangas kick themselves out: Despite having five more scoring shots than Pines, Langwarrin still went down by five points. Picture: Scott Memery
Stonecats are unbeatable PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW will not be beaten in 2016, according to two MPNFL Peninsula Division coaches. And worst still for the competition, the coaches believe that nothing will change in 2017 and beyond under the current MPNFL Player Points System (PPS). Guests on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning, Mornington coach Chris Holcombe and Seaford coach Ben Murphy were both steadfast when asked the question “can anyone beat Frankston YCW this season”. Without hesitation, both Holcombe and Murphy said “no”. Holcombe said that the Stonecats were a long way in front of any other team in the competition, not only this season, but for seasons to come. Mornington has played in the past two grand finals against the Stonecats, failing in 2014 by a whisker and being humiliated last season. Later that afternoon after making the statements, Holcombe’s Mornington was belted by 112 points by the Stonecats after trailing by just 10 points at quarter time.
PAGE 18
Holcombe said the only way that the Stonecats were going to come back to the pack was a lack of money or players leaving the club. “Right now, if YCW keep paying what they’re paying and keep their list together, which they do every year, then it’s going to be a long time before anyone can catch up,” Holcombe said. “I don’t want Frankston YCW to take that as a knock – they are a sensationally run football club and absolutely deserve to be where they are. They are the envy of all us. “They have a strong core group and have the ability to pick up one or two each year to top them up again. “Unless the bottom falls out of them, it’s going to be some time before things change and they don’t dominate the competition,” Holcombe said. Murphy said the PPS didn’t allow teams to catch up. “To get close to Frankston YCW you have to recruit a lot of players – the system doesn’t allow you to do that,” Murphy said. “So we have little choice but to take our time, rebuild and recruit what we can over time. It’s going to take a fair amount of time to get to YCW’s level.
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 22 June 2016
“There’s no use going out and spending a load of money unless you think it’s going to beat YCW, so it’s about bridging the gap locally as best you can first. “Like Holcs said, full credit to YCW for being where they are but things aren’t going to change any time soon,” Murphy said. Frankston YCW won its 23rd consecutive match on Saturday against Mornington. By season’s end, it will be 35. Paul Minchington, Anthony Bruhn and Kyle Hutchison all booted four goals each for the Stonecats, as did 18-year-old Josh Butland. Michael Williams booted a goal in his return game for the Dogs after leaving Pearcedale, while Nick Martin and Ash Williams worked tirelessly. Holcombe said 2016 was about resetting the culture at his club and getting games into the youngsters. “We’re a very different football club this year than previous seasons and it’s about giving opportunity,” Holcombe said. Seaford kept its finals hope well and truly alive with a massive 23.17 (155) to 6.7 (43) win against Chelsea.
The Tigers are just two points outside of fifth spot after Kyle Matthews and Joe Hallal booted four goals each and Matt Herbert and Brad Doyle dominated. The Gulls led by a point at half time before Seaford booted 16.9 to 2.1 after the main break. Bonbeach bounced back from a slow start to record an eight point win against Karingal. The Bulls jumped out of the blocks and led by three goals at the first break before Bonbeach hit the front at half time with a four goal to one second quarter. It was toe-to-toe in the last hour with Bonbeach recording a 9.14 (68) to 9.6 (60) victory. Jackson Bennett, Jacob Flannery and Shane McDonald were superb for the Sharks while Luke Damon booted three goals. Leigh Poholke booted five majors for the Bulls while Duncan Proud was again outstanding across half back. Inaccuracy cost Langwarrin a win against Pines on Saturday. The Kangas dominated the second quarter but couldn’t find the big sticks, booting 2.5 to one goal for the term.
Again in the third, Pines kicked 5.1 to Langwarrin’s 1.6. The Kangas booted two goals to two behinds in the last to go down 6.12 (48) to 8.5 (53). Pines’ Adam Marriner, Shane Waterstone and Aaron Edwards with three goals were the difference between the sides. Brian Peach, teenager Zack Andreawartha in his debut game and Nick Tuddenham were the best of the Kangas. Mt Eliza had little trouble disposing of Edithvale, who dropped to fifth place on the ladder. The Redlegs opened with a five goal to one first quarter and extended its lead at every change, winning 14.12 (96) to 6.9 (45). Justin Van Unen booted seven goals to give him 13 goals in two weeks since playing on the wing against YCW. Nathan Ryan was outstanding for the Redlegs with a couple of goals while Sam Gill controlled things in the back half. Tommy Turner and Brendan Neville were among the best for the Eagles while Nick Carlon also worked tirelessly.

Bombers are genuine contenders NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt FRANKSTON Bombers are absolute genuine contenders for the 2016 Nepean League premiership after comfortably disposing of Rosebud at Greg Beck Oval on Saturday. “Going hard enough for long enough” was the theme of the game for the Bombers after yours truly questioned whether they had the mental toughness to play out 100 minutes of football. The Bombers answered that question in spades. Rosebud tried on a number of occasions to unsettle the Bombers, however the home team stuck to the task at hand and extended their lead at every change. What was more impressive for Frankston Bombers was that they recorded their 9.10 (64) to 4.7 (31) win on the back of quiet performances by Sam Fox and Dale Sutton. While Rosebud’s Seb Kremich and Jack Jarman did outstanding jobs on the Bombers’ guns, the likes of Brett Sutton, Jason Kingsbury, Josh Francis and Alan Williams got to work for the winners. Greg Bentley was clearly Rosebud’s best player, while Nick Boswell, while he didn’t dominate like he can, was still in their best two players.
The forward half of Rosebud was thrashed. Keegan Downie, Ben Shultz and coach Michael Kraska didn’t get near it all day. Frankston’s defence was sublime, again. Ryan Marks-Logan was the best player on the ground, Jarryd Amalfi dominated, as did Beau Muston, and Jay Page and Zac White comfortably won their positions. Amalfi, Marks-Logan and Muston constantly ran off their opponents and set up forward thrusts through the middle of the ground. Corey Micari was outstanding yet again for the Bombers and had the honours over premiership ruckman Ben Dwyer. Micari’s development over the past two weeks has been significant. Frankston’s performance was superb, no question, however we’ve still got to keep things in perspective – it was the Bombers’ first win over a top five side. It is a very different side to the one that lost to Hastings and Somerville and will only get stronger this weekend against Sorrento at Sorrento. Ruckman Ryan Kitchen will come back into the side, while they have recruited former St Paul’s key forward Luke James, described as “a bull” who has booted 400 goals in his
past five seasons. He was ranked by pundits as the number one player in Southern League in 2013. Sorrento has lost its past two games after being beaten by Devon Meadows at David McFarlane Reserve. The Meadows opened up a five point lead at quarter time and extended their margin at every change, before Sorrento charged home in the final term to go down 13.12 (90) to 12.16 (88). Devon Meadows set up the win through stars Steve Roberts, Jack Hazendonk, Jesse Dehey and Chris Doria. Kyle Salerno booted three goals, as did coach Glenn Michie, while Hazendonk also hit the scoreboard with three majors. Sorrento pulled a shock selection at the table on Thursday night, bringing-in Tom Langford, who is on Richmond’s VFL list and is part of the famous Langford family. It was out of character for coach Nick Jewell to rush any player into his team and from all reports, the inclusion of Langford was frowned upon by some who had been in good form in the reserves. The move backfired. The Sharks have the toughest draw of all sides in the final six weeks with match-
es against Frankston, Somerville, Dromana, Hastings, Rosebud and Red Hill. Nick Corp was outstanding for the Sharks with six goals. Myles Pitt, who the Sharks were hoping to get back for the second half of the season, has reportedly reinjured his back and will miss the remainder of the season. Red Hill grabbed fifth place on the ladder at the expense of Rosebud after thrashing Pearcedale 17.11 (113) to 6.8 (44). In a week where forward Jackson Dalton walked out on the club, Harry Larwill booted seven majors for the Hillmen while Jake Mold and Steve Marchetti dominated through the middle of the ground. In further good news for the Hillmen, Jarred Eames dominated in the reserves and looks in great shape, while Sean Holmes and Ben Macguiness were also in the twos. Troy Jacobson and Alex Harnett were the best of the Panthers. Crib Point gave Rye an almighty scare on Saturday, going down in a thriller 13.6 (84) to 11.20 (86). The Magpies led by two points at quarter time, three at half time and seven at the last change, before Rye booted 2.9 to two goals in the last quarter. Ryan Mullett and Kris Bardon were
again outstanding for the Demons while Ryan Taylor and Jimmy Jennings were superb down back. Dromana maintained its tag as the giant killers after thrashing Somerville by more than six goals. The Tigers dominated with teenager Ethan Johnstone kicking five goals and Rikki Johnstone and Beau Cosson three each. Down back Christian Ongarello and Dean Waugh were superb. Somerville is in a world of pain right now. The word on the street is that it’s not a happy place. The Eagles are also looking for some off field assistance. Saturday’s performance wouldn’t have helped that cause. Right now, the Eagles have no chance of holding up the silverware. With Frankston, Hastings has been able to grab a one game buffer on Somerville, Sorrento and Red Hill after a big 25.18 (168) to 4.5 (29) win over Tyabb. Col McVeigh was the best player on the ground with seven goals, while Dale Alanis and Luke Hewitt booted six goals each. Luke Clark and Josh Mulheron were also back in the side, giving the Blues arguably their best side on paper for the season. Chris Harris and Sean Miller were the best of the Yabbies.
Rosebud Heart hits top spot, Mornington mauled By Craig MacKenzie ROSEBUD Heart now sits proudly on top of State 5 South and is hot favourite to take out its first ever championship in just its second year of competition. For the past few weeks Scott Morrison’s men have been the only side in the league with a perfect record but playing less games than arch rival Baxter forced Heart to wait before claiming top-dog status. Saturday’s 3-1 away win over Chelsea did the trick (as Baxter had a bye) with master predator Dave Greening scoring twice and setting up Luca Biancardi in the 87th minute for a first-time volley that settled the issue. It was 0-0 at half-time but when Greening was hauled down by Connor Lewis in the 55th minute he recovered and converted the resulting penalty. Lewis was sent off after receiving a second yellow card in the incident. Greening then broke clear in the 60th minute, dummied the Chelsea keeper then smashed the ball inside the near post to make it 2-0. Chelsea’s sole reply came from the spot in the 70th minute and was converted by Dejan Dimitrovici after veteran Heart midfielder Adam Poole was judged to have infringed inside the area.
Clifton Hill put State 1 South-East pacesetter Mornington to the sword with a stunning 6-1 home win on Saturday. Mornington lost goalkeeper Kris McEvoy (dislocated shoulder) and central defender Steve Elliot (calf) during the warm-up pitching young custodian Dylan Tervit into the breach. Clifton Hill import Chris Davies opened the scoring in the 12th minute but two minutes later Chris Reid tapped in from a Sammy Stewart cutback to make it 1-1. Davies grabbed a second in the 30th minute but four minutes after the break Tervit brought down an opponent and Davies notched his hat-trick from the penalty spot. Davies got his fourth in the 60th minute and goals from Michael Catalano (80th) and Daniel Thomas (89th) rounded off the rout. Frankston Pines slumped to a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Langwarrin in Saturday’s State 1 SouthEast derby at Monterey Reserve. Peninsula Strikers returned to winning ways in State 2 South-East with a resounding 4-1 home win over visitor Heatherton United on Saturday. Matt Morris-Thomas opened the scoring with a superb solo effort in the 20th minute jinking past three opponents before sending an unstoppable
Sudoku and crossword solutions
strike into the top far corner. Morris-Thomas was felled inside the area in the 35th minute and made no mistake from the spot and two goals in the first 20 minutes of the second stanza sealed Heatherton’s fate. Recent signing from Mornington, Tom Mathews, made it 3-0 after Heatherton’s keeper could only get one hand to Alex Hopson’s back post header presenting Mathews with a tap-in and not long after Hopson put Ben Meiklem through and he slotted the ball under the advancing keeper. Heatherton’s Julian Malander made it 4-1 in the 74th minute. Seaford United and North Caulfield fought out a spirited 3-3 draw in their State 2 South-East battle at Caulfield Park on Sunday. After a long stoppage due to a head clash, the 10 men of Caulfield were pushing hard when a long ball into the six-yard box saw a Seaford defender get the final touch for an own goal to complete the scoreline. It was a return to form for Skye United on Saturday as Billy Armour’s side defeated Bayside Argonauts 4-1 at Skye Recreation Reserve. Nick Theodore tapped in his side’s first on seven minutes before doubling the lead soon after as his strike defected off the post into the Argonauts’
keeper before finding the net. Bayside’s Neal Byrne then pulled one back before the break as Skye United’s defence was opened up on the counter. However Skye’s talismanic striker Daniel Attard made it 3-1 on the hour mark, converting Alex Roberts’ cross. Skipper Mark O’Connor then completed the scoreline five minutes later, the Irishman curling in a quick free kick, catching Bayside’s defence offguard. The result ensures Skye remains top of State 4 South. NEXT WEEKEND’S GAMES Friday, 24 June, 8.30pm: Doncaster Rovers v Peninsula Strikers (Anderson Park).
