Crime ‘out of control’ Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au

A SURGE of 9.3 per cent in crime in Kingston in the past year, including a 150 per cent jump in abductions, has been blamed on state government cuts to police numbers and fewer station opening hours, along with weaker bail laws.

“Crime is completely out of control in Kingston and Victoria under Labor,” Liberal state Upper House MP for the South Eastern Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich said.

“Labor takes Kingston for granted.”

The crime statistics, delayed by the weekend’s AFL Grand Final, reveal that, for the year ending June, a record 11,221 offences were reported in Kingston compared to 10,268 a year ago.

The 953 rise in offences includes an “alarming” 75.2 per cent surge in sexual offences, as well as a 23.2 per cent rise in burglary, 21.3 per cent in robbery, 18.8 per cent in dangerous acts and 18.2 per cent in theft, Ms Peulich said.

In comparison, crime in Frankston is up 12.5 per cent, while the Mornington Peninsula’s reported crime rate is up 9.6

per cent for the same period.

In Frankston, sex offences increased by 70 per cent, burglary and break-andenter was up 24.6 per cent, and drug dealing and trafficking was up almost 25 per cent.

Of the 79 local government areas in the state, 75 had more crime over the past 12 months.

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said the government had given police new powers and more resources to crack down on violent crime, youth offending and family violence.

“There are more operations and target-

ed efforts to catch criminals, with police making more arrests and charging more offenders,” he said.

Operation Cosmas has made more than 180 arrests in a crackdown on violent crime since May, including catching ringleaders.

Mr Edbrooke said 19 protective services officers at Frankston police station are helping free police from their desks and get them “back on the beat”.

He said “tough” laws introduced this year would combat rising numbers of carjackings and home invasions.

TECHNOLOGY being used to create and innovate was the lesson for pupils at St Joseph’s School in Chelsea over the school holidays.

Prep students and siblings took part in half-day electronic workshops on Tuesday 29 September and worked on fun projects to make lights with dimmer and pulse functions, fans and buzzers.

The Bright Sparks workshops featured electronic bricks provided

by Sydney-based BrainCrank.

Rebecca Zosel, mother of 6-yearold prep pupil Oscar, organised the workshops.

“I wanted the children to have a fun and hands-on experience to get them excited about science and technology,” she said.

“The electronics are as easy to build with as Lego so the kids loved using them. For me, the best part was seeing them thinking about how electronics are used in everyday life.”

Or as Oscar put it: “Those pieces that I played with, they use them in the big electronic things.”

Ms Zosel said the BrainCrank workshops built on the imaginations and ideas children have amid an atmosphere where anything was possible.

“The children started thinking about the inputs and outputs of everyday items like the lights in their classroom and the fan on the ceiling.

Some of the mystery disappeared. It got them thinking ‘I know how that works. I can make that’.”

Zombies unleashed on line Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au IF you see hordes of shambling blood-splattered hordes near train stations in the next few weeks there may be no need to call police or protective services officers for help.

The mob may be dressed and made up as zombies as part of an independent short movie project called Benedict being filmed in Melbourne and its suburbs.

It’s a ghoulish sight familiar to fans of TV show The Walking Dead but is slightly less common along the Frankston line.

Zombies shuffled along to Mordialloc on a Sunday morning last month (18 September) to film some scenes under the railway bridge next to Mordialloc Creek.

Bonbeach actor Rick Vaveliuk, 38, was one of the few, in his role as the titular Benedict, not infected by a zombie plague so still had the brainssss to tell The News about filming at Mordialloc for the spin-off prequel from another independent film due for release next year called The Last Hope.

“The scene was set in Europe where the outbreak begins so it’s six months before the events in The Last Hope,” he said.

“It was an escape scene at the train station so that’s why we used the tunnel and that part of Mordialloc because it fit the setting perfectly.”

He said there were about 30 people on the makeshift set, “mostly zombies and a few civilians”.

Approval for the early morning shoot was approved by Kingston Council, police, emergency services and Metro Trains.

“Everyone was very helpful,” Vaveliuk said.

The actor says he also shot scenes in Mentone, Brunswick and Doveton and “I’m spitting out all these little short movies for practice”.

A shorter version of Benedict is online on YouTube now and the scene filmed at Mordialloc will be added to “an extended director’s cut”.

Benedict’s big brother film feature The Last Hope, written and directed

by St Kilda resident Leigh Ormsby, is a zombie tale with a modern Australian twist.

The film’s synopsis reveals: “The world has been devastated by the virus that has reanimated the dead to consume the living. Australia has so far remained unscathed through a brutal border protection policy and internment facilities.”

As is the custom in such films, all hell breaks loose, this time due to the arrival of “a mysterious girl” and an uprising at a detention centre.

“Will Australia, the last hope for many, finally fall?” the synopsis asks.

The short film was partly financed by its makers via Pozible crowdfunding campaigns.

Its modest budget aims to take some sharp shots at Australia’s and is billed as “a metaphor for everyone who sees Australia for what it is.”

“For Australians, our country is a beacon of hope for many due to our high living standards, the fact we are

CEO pay up KINGSTON Council’s highest-paid executive has picked up a pay rise.

Councillors discussed council CEO John Nevins’ performance after last month’s public council meeting on 12 September behind closed doors as is customary for council employee matters.

Councillors decided to hand a 1.4 per cent rise to Mr Nevins bringing his remuneration up to $376,511.

Mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley confirmed “a scheduled annual CEO review, as set out under the current contract, was recently independently facilitated”.

Cr Bearsley said the CEO’s salary is in line with similar sized municipalities.

Mr Nevins was appointed CEO of Kingston Council in 2005 and his latest contract expires in November 2018.

so connected to the world, yet so isolated.

“For anyone who lives here, there is hope that you can become someone. For people wishing to live here, Australia is a land of hope and freedom. But what happens when that hope is stripped away for both those wanting to come here and for those

that already living here?

“Also, zombies are cool and who doesn’t love a good zombie film?!”

Benedict and The Last Hope will both be released like a zombie virus next year and its makers hope they spread quickly online.

Waterways levy falls by wayside Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A LONG-RUNNING dispute over maintenance costs for Waterways residents has finally been resolved after Kingston councillors decided council will now pick up an annual tab of $310,000 for mowing and upkeep of shared areas in the suburb.

Homeowners in the sprawling 46-hectare suburb that includes vast tracts of parkland and manmade lakes have long argued they should not pay for council services provided elsewhere as a matter of course.

At last month’s public council meeting outgoing councillor John Ronke successfully proposed the time had

come for Waterways homeowners to receive the same services from council as ratepayers elsewhere in Kingston.

Cr Ronke said the additional cost impost on Waterways residents was a legacy of council being a financial “basketcase” in 1997 when Portland House Group wanted to build “an environmental oasis together with a vibrant community”.

He said council had to make some “tough decisions” and maintenance standards were under pressure so council at the time decided to place a levy on Waterways homeowners so the housing estate could be built.

Cr Ronke said council’s stronger financial position now made it feasible to axe the levy.

“No other community in Kingston pays a maintenance levy for the same standard of service anyone else in Kingston gets.

“It’s not a gated community. Every resident in Kingston has the opportunity to visit and spend time there.”

Waterways Owners Corporation chair David Flew welcomed council’s decision to immediately end the levy.

“We are extremely pleased and happy that the decision to bring this longrunning issue to an end has finally occurred,” he said.

“Special thanks to Cr John Ronke for proposing the resolution, to Cr David Eden for seconding and supporting it, and to Cr Tamsin Bearsley for all the work she did to ensure this came to council in a timely manner.”

Cr Rosemary West believed the move to axe the levy, before a council officer’s report into the matter was completed, set a bad precedent for future developments.

“This was a development in the Green Wedge that really never should have been allowed,” she said.

Cr West noted the maintenance costs were being shifted to all Kingston ratepayers who may not enjoy the luxury of an abundance of open space near their homes.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics in 2011 used Census data to determine that Waterways, with 2160 residents at the time, rated higher than Toorak, Brighton and Canterbury or any other suburb in Melbourne in an index of socio-economic advantage.

More than 2,000 cigarette lighters shaped like high-top sneakers were seized from a Moorabbin importer last month over safety concerns for children.

Consumer Affairs Victoria product safety inspectors discovered the banned lighters, which were poised for sale in Victorian stores, following a tip-off from interstate authorities.

In total 2361 lighters were seized, valued at about $12,000.

Toy-like novelty cigarette lighters were permanently banned nationwide in 2011 in a bid to keep kids safe.

Traders supplying banned goods can face fines of up to $1.1 million and $220,000 for individuals.

Monash University’s Victorian Injury Surveillance Unit statistics show 40 children were taken to Victorian emergency departments for burns caused by using or playing with cigarette lighters in the past five years.

Anyone with concerns about product safety issues can contact Consumer Affairs Victoria on 1300 36 48 94 or visit consumer.vic.gov.au

PROCEEDS from this year’s Chelsea Art Show, organised by the Rotary Club of Chelsea, have been used to boost local lifesaving efforts with a significant contribution towards the purchase of a new thermal imaging camera for the Edithvale Fire Brigade.

CFA firefighters will be able to use the Drager UCF9000 camera to see areas of heat through darkness, smoke and even fires.

The camera renders infrared radiation as visible light and by picking up body heat, the thermal imaging camera can

also be used to find victims trapped under debris where the rescuers cannot find them or in outdoor searches on a cool night.

The camera is sensitive enough to detect recent footprints.

It has other operational modes that can detect hot spots and help identify fire sources as well as hazardous material leaks.

It can also hold up to two hours of normal video recording, allowing operations to be reviewed for training.

QUICK thinking by passers-by helped save two elderly women from possibly drowning in Mordialloc Creek on Monday afternoon.

Boat mooring lines prevented their small Mazda sedan from tumbling into the water after the driver pushed the accelerator instead of the brake, leaving them dangling precariously off Mordialloc Pier at about 2.15pm.

The passers-by – including the driver of a four-wheel-drive – attached ropes to the car to prevent it from slipping further into the muddy water.

The driver managed to climb back to safety but Metropolitan Fire Brigade crews, who arrived soon after, had to rescue the passenger.

Neither required medical treatment. Ambulance officers later dropped them off at home.

MFB spokesman Phil Buckley said two fire trucks rushed to the scene, off Pier Rd. He said

Arrests after Pokemon bust

Carjacking shock

THREE 16-year-olds using their phones to search for imaginary Pokemon characters in Parkdale were allegedly threatened by four older youths and two phones were stolen, early Sunday 2 October.

The victims said they were walking along Beach Rd, 4.15am, when the offenders walked out of Parkers Rd. One was allegedly wearing knuckledusters and another hinted that he had a gun, although it was not seen.

During the incident one of the victims managed to flag down a passing police car on Beach Rd and the offenders ran off.

One was found hiding in Surf Av and two found in a car in Parkers Rd. The Dog Squad tracked the fourth offender was lost him.

Police expect to summons the trio: aged 17, 18 and 20, of Narre Warren South and Dandenong North, with armed robbery and attempted armed robbery.

A MAN dragged from his seat by a carjacker at Southland shopping centre, Monday 3 October, was talking on the phone at the time.

The 21-year-old told police he was mystified when a solidly built man, about 180cm tall and with an olive complexion, suddenly appeared beside his gold Toyota Yaris seconds after he stopped in the car park.

The man yelled and then grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him out. Most of the man’s face was hidden by his jacket hood, which was pulled tight around his face. He was also wearing sunglasses.

Two other men in a utility parked behind – a white Toyota Hilux – then jumped in the man’s car and they drove off.

Kingston CIU detectives are appealing for public assistance to find the men, who are believed to have stolen the Hilux from Dingley Village earlier in the day, as well as a set of number plates – 1CE 6TU – from a car parked nearby.

Aerial racers have their Home no more: St Kilda Football Club set to leave Seaford, above, and return to Moorabbin. Picture: Gary Sissons

Saints home and hosed Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE Saints are definitely marching back in to Moorabbin. Councillors at a special public council meeting last month unanimously voted to approve the planning application, after much debate, for the $28.4 million redevelopment of the club’s Linton St premises.

The approval followed council’s decision to approve a 50-year lease at Linton St including an 84 per cent reduction in building rent (“Saints go cashing in with discounted lease”, The News 29/8/16).

Objectors to the redevelopment of the oval and function centre at Linton St have concerns over increased traffic, the impact of lighting towers on nearby homes and the loss of trees since the venue’s footprint will increase in size.

An all-year round 1am licence for pokies and 2am licence for the function room could also cause noise problems for nearby residents according to objectors.

A proposal by Cr Rosemary West to ask St Kilda Football Club to reduce the number of pokies machines at the venue from 83 and move them away from the social club’s entrance was defeated.

Punters lost $2,223,654 in 2015-16 at the venue in 2015-16 compared to $2,294,691 in 2014-15.

Councillors noted community objections but believed the AFL club’s board and management were more consultative than the previous administration that decided to quit Moorabbin and head to Seaford in 2010 over a dispute with Kingston Council around pokies.

Saints CEO Matt Finnis addressed last month’s council meeting and said he hoped the club could rebuild links with the Kingston community.

“We want it to be a vibrant place the community can be proud of.”

Southern Football Netball League, South Metro Junior League, Sandringham Dragons and AFL Victoria will also use the redeveloped facility due to begin construction next year.

TO the uninitiated, model airplanes are just toys for big kids, but for Seaford man Murray Wilson tackling hectic manoeuvres when attached to a plane that’s flying at around 220kph is definitely not for the faint hearted.

Wilson recently returned from the “Olympics” of model aircraft, the international control-line model aircraft competitions in Perth, where he and his South Australian-based race partner came second in their category against 35 teams from around the world.

It was the first time since the start of the event – organised by the model aeronautical association – that it has been held in the Southern Hemisphere.

And if you still think it’s just a bit of nonsense, a visit to any race will quickly change your mind.

There are pit stops and mechanics, and the race atmosphere is abuzz with tension and excitement.

The aircraft are loud and fast and competitors have to keep their wits about them as aircraft duck and weave in a tight circle with little room for error. The vehicles are attached to the controller via a wire, and precision judgement is crucial to keep the vehicle in flight and out of the way of other aircraft. Positioning and strategy are crucial.

“If you do crash into someone, there’s usually not much left of the plane, so we have to know what we’re doing up there,” Wilson said.

Wilson, 28, has been involved in the sport since a young child, and admits it’s probably “in the blood”.

His late father Graeme, who was a racer and involved with both the Victorian and Australian model aeronautical associations, met his wife Fiona on the race field.

“So it was pretty sure I’d be involved in the sport.”

While there are only about 20,000 followers of the sport in Australia, it is huge in Eastern Europe, where Wilson has his teammate competed in 2012 and came third in a field that included some of the best in the sport. It’s an expensive passion, but one that is worth it for the 28-year-old.

“I tend to do lot of travelling for competitions, but hopefully one day the sport’s popularity will grow here and there will be prize money to help cover the costs,” he said.

Too troublesome and expensive for rail trench Like most residents who live or have lived between Mordialloc and Frankston, I am aware that the railway line between these two suburbs is built on a sandbar that is higher than the ground level of the adjacent buildings.

The area between Mordialloc and Frankston is both a drained former swamp with a high water table and is also part of an existing floodplain and is about one metre above the mean sea level.

Very few adjacent buildings in this area have a view over the existing railway line.

As the local councils, Kingston mayor Tamsin Bearsley, Frankston mayor James Dooley and the MP David Davies are well aware, this area is also at risk to flooding in the event of a king tide at high tide or if there is a rise in sea levels.

The proposition that this stretch of railway can be lowered below sea level in a trench, which in effect is a large swimming pool without water, is not a feasible proposition, especially if one considers the huge amount of water that would need to be pumped out after a heavy rainfall, which would be additional to ongoing seepage.

At Bentleigh there are two new large pumps continuously pumping out seepage and rainfall.

The size and number of pumps required to keep an open trench from Mordialloc to Frankston dry would be considerable and in practice may not be viable. The other consideration is that the taxpayers of Victoria generally expect an elected government, irrespective of its political makeup, will endeavour to deliver any project at an affordable cost and that is value for money.

Between Mordialloc and Frankston an elevated railway line will do that whereas an open trench will not.

Refugee bias The recent refugee summit in New York saw the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull advocating

...Don’t miss securing that wanted property ✓ Immediate access to Bond & Rent ✓ Move into that property now ✓ Fast prompt assistance ✓ Easy terms and conditions ✓ No upfront fees and charges ✓ Pre approval before finding a property ✓ We can assist with transfer of bonds between properties

Australia’s treatment of refugees as the ideal to follow. He delivered his speech in a swagger bursting with pride at such a successful outcome.

While refugees sink into despair on [Nauru and Manus] islands and women and children are exploited, our prime minister uses their predicament to grandstand. How disappointing.

For someone who showed the promise of a better approach to solving problems he falls short. His quote that “this is what 48 per cent of Australians want“ is not true. Using data from biased polls ignores the thousands of signatures collected by the joint advocates for the refugees.

Bring Them Here collected these signatures in every state. They were gathered in suburbs and towns that never encounter the pollsters.

What a shame to have our PM advising countries to treat those seeking refuge to follow such a cruel policy.

Gambling concerns The current Moorabbin reserve redevelopment project comprising new facilities for the St Kilda football team and Southern Metropolitan Junior Football League was gifted considerable taxpayer funds by Kingston Council. In addition to training facilities for senior and junior teams commercial activities will include 83 electronic gaming machines (EGMs).

Kingston Council adopted the Gambling Policy Action Plan 2014-2019 in 2015 and claims to be concerned about the high density of EGMs in Kingston and their impact on the community.

According to the gambling policy a complete social and economic impact assessment will be undertaken to determine what harm may result when poker machines are installed in a new venue where activities are focused on young people. This could be the case when junior teams are using facilities in close proximity to EGMs

Did you know... you can view our papers online

Under threat: There are fears for the former Masonic hall in Mordialloc if it is not leased to a community group.

in St Kilda’s refurbished Moorabbin premises.

To counteract problems caused by addiction to poker machines the impact assessment would also check the degree to which the community has choices of alternative recreational or entertainment facilities in the local area. One of the entertainment alternatives is Mordialloc’s heritage listed Masonic Hall in Albert St. Unfortunately, council moved that the $400,000 set aside to complete renovations of the building be diverted for use on sports grounds.

The Masonic hall is now out for expressions of interest despite the public’s clearly expressed preference for this building to be retained for community use. Mary Rimington, Mordialloc

Fears held for hall The future of the 1925 former Masonic hall in Albert St, Mordialloc, is in doubt again. Kingston Council was on track to restore this heritage listed hall for community use as a youth/arts/ performance centre, to much acclaim. But in July council voted to divert a restoration fund

and get community groups to lease it and pay for restoration (expressions of Interest are open until 15 September).

Given huge community interest in this heritage hall, candidates for the coming Kingston Council election would do well to consider their position on its future.

Ask Council candidates if they would support: Reinstating the promised restoration of the hall (abandoned by council); The excellent officer recommendation for council and community use as a centre for youth, arts and performance space (rejected by council); Future joint community/council use rather than commercial lease, sale or demolition.

European settlement began in Mordialloc in the 1840s (soon after Melbourne was founded in 1835) and by the 1880s many grand buildings existed, yet few historic buildings remain.

A unique chance is in the hands of incoming councillors to secure the future of this heritage building and return it to community use.

A pitch perfect season CHELSEA Soccer Club has its own team of ‘The Invincibles’ after its under 13 side went undefeated for the whole 2016 season.

Arsene Wenger’s English Premier League title-winning Arsenal team were given the name when they went unbeaten throughout the 200304 season.

After finishing first in the Sportsmart South Division, Chelsea Soccer Club’s under 13s played Glen Waverley in the semi-final winning 3-2 and then went on to win the metropolitan championship against the Western Eagles defeating them 2-1.

Coach Carl Cafun and assistant coach Marius Roman have been coaching the core group for three years.

“The great parent and club support for the

players has helped them achieve their success,” Cafun said.

The club’s under 18s girls team finished as runners-up in the Metro League, a great achievement since the average age of the team is 16.

Former Melbourne Victory champion striker Archie Thompson visited the club last month at the club’s annual presentation day on Sunday 18 September to hand out medals and trophies.

The Chelsea Soccer Club’s annual general meeting will be held on Monday 10 October at the Edithvale Reserve in the HD Thomas Building.

Filming leads to trouble A WOMAN who filmed a group of youths assaulting and abusing an Asian man near the Patterson River boat ramp, Friday 30 September, was later assaulted by one of the alleged attackers.

The Patterson Lakes woman, 62, was using her phone to film the youths on the walking path near the boat ramp at 6.18pm when she alleges one of them walked up to her and insulted her while telling her to stop filming.

She said the youth then punched her hand, grabbed her phone and threw it over a fence. He is described as Caucasian, 17-18 years old, 183cm, dark hair, dark clothing with white writing on his T-shirt, and blue cap.

The woman suffered swelling to her hand and pain up her arm, as well as soreness to her back and neck related to a pre-existing injury.

Police patrolled for the youths but found only a T-shirt on a nearby bike path.

Several hours later, a Frankston youth, 16, stag-

gered into a nearby supermarket claiming he had been bashed by a gang of Sudanese men in parkland near McLeod Drive. He said he was hit over the head with a baseball bat, kicked and punched.

The youth was assisted by a passer-by while he passed in and out of consciousness. The passerby called his parents who took him to Peninsula Private Hospital.

He was treated for multiple abrasions to his neck, chest and back, “two large eggs” on the rear of his head as well as neck, hip and leg pain. He was allegedly intoxicated, had no shirt on, and was wearing the same shoes and pants as the youth who allegedly assaulted the woman near the boat ramp.

Police say “testimonies from numerous witnesses” point to him as the youth “seen climbing fences and stumbling around while running along North Shore Drive, most likely causing injuries to himself while running from police”.

The youth is expected to be summonsed on charges of recklessly and intentionally causing

injury and making a false report to police.

Cars, cash stolen

Burglars stole two cars, large amount of cash, credit cards, and two handbags containing business papers and spectacles, all valued at almost $29,000, from a Patterson Lakes house, early Thursday 29 September.

The 62-year-old owner of the Governor Arthur Drive house said she heard “male voices and a loud bang” about 2.50am but thought it must have been wind slamming the side gate.

Thieves broke in through a sliding glass door and stole car keys and handbags from the lounge room. They then entered the garage and stole a white 2004 Honda CRV and a white 2012 Toyota Yaris.

The woman woke to see the garage door open, interior light on and an unknown car speeding off.

One of the cars was later seen refuelling at a

Camberwell South service station. The driver is described as Caucasian, 18-24 years old, black hair, wearing a grey hoodie, dark tracksuit pants with red print on right leg and black sneakers. Another man was asleep in the front passenger seat.

Couple rescued in bay Water police rescued a couple after their dinghy capsized off Mentone during Sunday’s wild weather. The man, 28, of Mt Waverley, and woman, 26, of Springvale, were spotted clinging to the side of the boat 300 metres offshore. They got into difficulties when they attempted to swim to shore. The Air Wing helped coordinate the rescue at 3.45pm. The couple were taken by ambulance to Sandringham hospital with mild hypothermia.

A kayaker also had to be rescued off Mt Eliza and a windsurfer got into trouble at Brighton around the same time.

This beach boy’s still making waves at 80 Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au TUTANEKAI “Tui" Wordley should be an inspiration to every surfer. Not because of the size of the waves he rides or the latest overseas trip he’s made, but because, at 80, he’s still out there, catching swells that bend towards the shore, steepen up and then crash down, peeling off to the right or left.

He’s at home on Western Port’s reefs and points and the beach breaks at Gunnamatta or Phillip Island with visits to the west coast, from Torquay to Lorne, when the surf is on.

A New Zealander by birth with a mixed Scottish, English and Maori pedigree, Wordley came to Australia by way of Papua New Guinea about “30 odd years ago”.

He was working in the PNG highlands as a motor mechanic when he met his wife Julie. She came from Heidelberg and seven years later, when it was time for them to come and settle in Australia, his one stipulation was that “it has to be close to the beach”.

“We came to Langwarrin and have been here ever since,” Wordley says over the phone while working in his shed (he is also a member of the Langwarrin Men’s Shed).

A group of friends gave Wordley a new Phil Trigger-shaped surfboard for his 80th birthday.

The board, a bit thicker and wider than what he might have been riding over the past several decades, was designed to help Wordley keep enjoying

Wave master: Tutanekai “Tui” Wordley, left, with his new board (Picture: Gary Sissons) and above, surfing at The Pines, Shoreham, (Picture: Robin Elliott)

his time in the surf. Four inches thick and 10 foot long by 24 inches (surfers still use imperial measures) wide the board is just what he needs.

Wordley likes to knee paddle and the extra buoyancy means more stability and less effort when paddling for waves.

“I’ve never been into short boards, always ridden longboards,” Wordley says. “But I’ve tried them all, kneeboards, goat boats [surf skis]. Not a sup [stand-up paddle board], but I will try.”

A foundation member and the first life member of the Mornington Peninsula-based Maladiction Longboarders, Wordley made and operates a lighting system that signals information about heats to competitors in the water.

“I’m the chief time keeper and work the lights,” he says. “I got sick of the flag system so made the revolving lights.”

Although he’s the oldest Maladiction member, Wordley says “those other guys are catching up”.

A handyman and mechanic, Wordley has been asked to make similar light systems for other board rider clubs and is always on the lookout for wrecked traffic lights which can be pirated for their coloured lenses.

“I’ve modernised the system so we now use LEDs, which are easier to use and cheaper; they also don’t use as much battery power.”

The lure of surfing first hit Wordley when he was in his early 20s while living at Whangarei, north of Auck-

land in New Zealand.

“We saw some guys come to our local beach with surfboards and we’d seen newsreels. The guys making [the early surf movie] Endless Summer came to Raglan to do some filming, which included trout fishing at Rotorua ,” Wordley says.

Wordley was a member of the Tatahi Surfriders Club before heading off to PNG in 1969. It was a time he sees as “my best surfing days; I came fourth in the final heat of the first New Zealand national competition”.

Tui Wordley and Julie have three sons, Scott, a lecturer in aerospace engineering at Monash University, Brett a site supervisor for housing company Edgerton Homes, and Aaron who, like his dad, was bitten by the surf bug and

shapes and glasses surfboards.

“He glassed boards for [multi-world champion] Kelly Slater before this year’s Bells Easter contest,” Wordley, who knows a bit about board making himself, says.

Although widely known as Tui, the longer version of his first name, Tutanekai, is a character from a Maori legend.

Wordley’s says his mother “had Irish, English and Maori blood” while his father was “half English, half Maori”. Further back, his great, great grandfather was “a surgeon to Victoria’s household”.

And Tui, still surfing at 80, is making his own mark in history, much like that of his legendary namesake, Tutanekai.

Hearing and Balance ONE in six Australians is affected by hearing loss – that’s an estimated 3.5 million people. This figure increases to almost half of people over 60 years. In addition to this one in three adults over 40 years will experience some form of vestibular (dizziness or balance) problem.

“One of the main consequences of hearing loss is a reduced capacity to communicate, and this is often first noticed by close family and friends” said Cathryn Williams, audiologist at Chelsea Hearing.

Chelsea Hearing and Ears in Balance will be participating in the Kingston Seniors Festival, with the following events being held during October: Living with Hearing.

Loss or Dizziness Information Session Information session for adults with hearing difficulties or dizziness. Lots of information for family members and friends as well.

When: Tuesday, 11 October at 10am Wednesday, 19 October at 2pm Venue: Function Room. Patterson River Golf Club, Bonbeach.

Cost: Free (bookings are essential) If you would like to attend either session please call Chelsea Hearing on 8740 2135 to reserve your seat.

Hearing Loss & Dizziness Screening You will be asked a number of questions and complete a quick hearing test to indicate if a full hearing or balance assessment is required. This is a great opportunity to come in and ask an audiologist any questions you have about hearing or balance.

When: Tuesday, 25 October at 9:30am 4:30pm Venue: Chelsea Hearing, Suite 3, 8 The Strand, Chelsea (front door on Bath Street).

Cost: Free (bookings are preferred) If you would like to book a free hearing and balance screening please call reception on 8740 2135. A screening takes 5-10 minutes to complete, and there is no charge for adults.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News

5 October 2016

Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE Somerville Branch of the Red Cross Society intend holding their Spring Show and Jumble Fair on Friday and Saturday, November 10th and 11th. *** A FLOWER Day Concert and Sale of Gifts will be held in the Presbyterian Church, Mornington Junction, on Wednesday next, in aid of the State School War Relief Fund. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold a special Horse Sale at the Tanti Yards, Mornington, on Wednesday next, when they will offer 60 horses and ponies.

The sale will commence at halfpast 12 o’clock. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrower’s Association will be held on Monday evening next, in the Mechanics’ Institute, when the report of the recent conference and other business will be dealt with. *** A DANCE will be held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall this (Saturday) evening, in connection with the Peninsula Queens’ Carnival. Good music will be provided, and dainty refreshments will be handed round. *** A CONTINGENT of returned sick and wounded soldiers will be entertained at Somerville on Saturday, 14th inst, by the local members of the Red Cross

Society. The Langwarrin Brass Band will be present and play selections during the afternoon.

All friends are requested to assist with refreshments, etc. *** THE “Wattle Club” dance, given in aid of the Frankston branch of Red Cross, was held on Saturday evening last and was a great success. The hall was crowded and things went with a good swing from start to finish. A very satisfactory sum was raised for the society.

The hot water kettle, presented

by Mrs Hay was won by Miss Gregory. *** THE Frankston “ Wattles” Club will hold a Plain and Fancy Dress Ball on Wednesday evening, the 18th October, in order to augment the funds of tile local Roll of Honor. This club has gained the name for their functions being most enjoyable, and it goes without saying that the forthcoming ball will be in no way behind any of its predecessors and those who attend are assured of a most pleasant evening’s amusement. *** A MEETING of the contributors to the Presentation Fund to Frankston volunteers to arrange a sixth and final presentation. was held at the Mechanics’ Institute on Wednesday Oct 4th.

Mr C. P, Watson was voted to the chair. The weather was very inclement and the attendance small. It was resolved on the

motion of Dr Plowman and Mr Dalman that the meeting adjourn to a date to be fixed, that date to be subsequent to the taking of the referendum vote. *** ON Tuesday the enrolment of men called up-all single men and child-less widowers 21 years of age and under 35 was proceeded with throughout Victoria, and although the response of the first groups dealt with was satisfactory, the number of men actually obtained for training was not high. As anticipated, the proportion of “rejects” was heavy, and the number of claims for exemption was also large.

The following are the details of the enrolment at Frankston:— Number examined, 176 ; Fit, 89 ; Unfit, 72; Doubtful, 15; Applications for Exemption, 47. The total enrolment for three days are 15,755, of which only 40 per cent have been passed as fit. *** AT a large meeting of the ladies of St. Paul’s Church, it was decided to hold an “Australia Tea” in the Church Grounds on Wednesday, October the 11th, 1916, commencing at 3pm, and remaining open during the afternoon and evening. The vicar explained to the meeting that the vestry needed about £30 for the current account and that a sum of £300 was still owing on the Vicarage.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

POB hard to slow down

By IT Gully REIGNING MPCA Provincial premiers Peninsula Old Boys will be hard to stop again as we gear up for the opening one-dayer round of the season on October 8.

Despite clubs circling the Old Boys’ list in the off-season, they have managed to keep the team together, including the talented Will Crowder, who is keen on batting higher this season.

Matty Heiden again takes charge while the likes of Dylan O’Malley and Wade Pelzer, both run machines last season, will be features again.

Last year’s runner up, Crib Point, have lost Rob Hearn, but gained some handy types in Spencer Wilton from Frankston, Tyler Wilson from Balnarring and Jacob Burridge from Adelaide.

After finishing the home and away season a game clear on top last season, the Pies will be looking to go one better.

Somerville finished third last season and will be strengthened by the return of Andrew West and Aaron Kaddatz, while Jarrod and Cameron Bailey

arrive from Moorooduc.

Baxter has gone hard in the offseason in the hope of improving on its semi-final appearance last season.

Justin Bridgeman (Long Island) arrives and Jedd Sutton returns – they’ve lost no-one.

Sorrento has lost AJ King to Tootgarook and Anthony Blackwell has retired. Nick Jewell is non-playing coach. He might be needed at some stage.

Langwarrin finished a game outside the four. David Ross has returned and Matt Campbell arrives from Mordialloc.

Long Island has lost Bridgeman and Scott Phillips to Narre Warren but have picked up Stuart Swift from Carrum Downs, Cal Savio from Ballam Park and Lachy Scott from Dandenong.

At Moorooduc, Carey Sawosz from Hastings is a good inclusion while Shanith Kannangara is also back.

Nathan Hangan from Darwin comes with big wraps. There’s been quite a few leave the Ducs though, including Leigh Lambert and Sushant Gupta.

Mornington will be bolstered with the off-field assistance from Darren

Berry. Adrian and Josh Dale return and Lambert from Moorooduc has made the switch. The Dogs were poor last season and are sure to respond.

Victorian Country quick Shaun Knott is a big in at Mt Eliza. Justin Grant will lead the charge in what the Mounties expect will be a big year.

New kids on the block Pearcedale go into the season with pretty much their District Premiership side, minus Shane Maggs.

Pines gain Damien Lawrence from Seaford but lose Ricky Ramsdale to Delacombe Park. Craig Entwistle takes charge.

In District ranks, reigning Sub District champions Rosebud have appointed the talented Billy Quigley as captain, while Brad Glenn has retired.

The Buds take on Mt Martha in the opening round who will be looking at big years from Aidan Pateman and Rhys Whittling, while Red Hill’s Riley Shaw is a good inclusion.

Red Hill wobbled into last year’s finals and ex Zimbabwe U19 Carl Robinson should add something to the mix. Robinson is a tall leggie and middle order bat. The Hillmen take-on Boneo in the opening round,

who will be bolstered by the return of Stuey Peck and Chris Jobling.

Baden Powell, who looked odds-on at stages last season, have lost Tom Wood, which is a huge loss.

Flinders have lost Grayson and Parrott but have picked-up Waide Symes.

Main Ridge have secured Carrum’s Shaun Foster and Sam Lyons from Queensland.

Matty Meagher has returned to Heatherhill, Ricky Ramsdale takes the helm at Delacombe Park and Justin Parkes arrives at Seaford Tigers.

In Sub District, Nick Tarrant has returned for Tyabb, who finished well out of contention last season.

Frankston YCW will be looking to go one better after losing the grand final to Rosebud. Bart Hudgson heads to the Stonecats from Pines while they have retained the large majority of their list.

Hastings has picked up Rob Hearn as coach but have lost Sawosz and Timmy Birch.

At Dromana Kieran Voekl is back from Frankston as coach and Jack Fowler is skipper. Andrew Siverella also comes with wraps. Darren Kerr has retired while Kaddatz and West

have returned to Somerville.

At Ballam Park, Stuart Plunkett is skipper, a relegated Carrum has lost Lachy Dobson and Foster and Carrum Downs has lost Stuart Swift to Long Island.

Tootgarook, who finished sixth last season, a game out of third place, have picked-up AJ King from Sorrento and Andrew Libby, a part-time bowler and middle order bat, previously from Rye.
