Eden is new mayor Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE YOUNGEST councillor elected to Kingston Council is now mayor.

Councillors unanimously voted at a swearing in ceremony for councillors on Monday evening (7 November) for Cr David Eden to be the municipality’s civic leader for the next 12 months.

“It is a great privilege and responsibility to represent our community as Mayor and I will focus on listening to our community, building productive partnerships and seeking out innovative solutions to help make Kingston an even better place to live, work and enjoy,” Cr Eden said in a statement.

Cr Eden was elected last month to service a second four-term term as councillor having been first elected to council at the age of 18 in 2012 while a student at Mentone Grammar.

The new mayor said protecting neighbourhood character, enhancing Kingston’s environment and ensure council’s services meet community needs would be priorities for him during his mayoral term.

It was a case of back to the future with the reinstatement of the deputy mayor role after an eight-year hiatus.

Cr Rosemary West, who has served on Kingston Council for more than a decade, was unanimously backed to take up the deputy mayor mantle.

Former Carrum Liberal MP Donna Bauer was the last person to hold the deputy mayor title in 2008 before its temporary retirement.

While there is no extra remuneration involved in being deputy mayor, the incumbent can be called upon to chair public council meetings and speak at events in the mayor’s absence.

Councillors at Monday evening’s special statutory meeting debated whether to bring back the deputy mayor title before agreeing the role’s return was at the discretion of the mayor.

Council elections were held on 22 October.

Central ward councillors are Rosemary West (re-elected), Geoff Gledhill (re-elected) and Ron Brownlees (reelected).

North ward councillors are Steve Staikos (re-elected), George Hua (newcomer) and Tamara Barth (re-elected).

South ward councillors are Tamsin Bearsley (re-elected), Georgina Oxley (newcomer) and David Eden (reelected).

Third bowls green in play for public Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au MORE open space could be made available to Mentone residents as part of a proposal by the Mentone Bowling Club to lease part of its land to Kingston Council.

Bowling club chair Addy Wetzler confirmed the club has approached council to talk about making unused land on the corner of “It’s a third small green that we haven’t used for the best part of ten years,” he said.

“It’s about making better use of some of the land we’re not using at the moment.

“We have a strategic plan as a club to work with council and the community to make sure we are seen as being a

community club and asset for the local community.”

Mr Wetzler said discussions were at an early stage and the land is a “pocket” measuring about 738 square metres on the corner of Balcombe and Swanston streets.

The chair said social bowls will still be played at the club on two other lawn bowls greens at the Mentone Bowling Club.

Club members would have to agree to lease the land to council for public use and a park with benches or a children’s playground could be options.

Mr Wetzler hoped the plan may draw more members to the club.

A lack of public open space in Mentone was flagged by objectors to the selloff of a former council depot in Collins St to an aged care provider last year.

Council ultimately decided to sell the

Collins St land to not-for-profit Southern Cross Care (Victoria) to build an aged care home at the site.

Councillors were divided over the sale and several backed a community push to use the land as public open space instead.

Council city assets and environment general manager Daniel Freer confirmed the bowls club had spoken to him about potentially leasing part of its land.

“The Mentone Bowls Club has approached Council to discuss potential uses for a section of the club’s site which is currently unused,” he said.

“At this time discussions are at a very early stage.”

Mr Wetzler said it would be business as usual at the club and it would be guided by community feedback and council advice.

Safety first for ripping swim fun A SENSE of bravado, over-confidence, alcohol, showing off to friends – there are lots of reasons why teenagers and young men fall prey to the dangers of rips at beaches.

Those aged 15-39 years are statistically the most likely to get caught and die in rips, and two-out-of-three people who think they can identify rips are wrong.

Surf Life Saving Australia points out that more people drown in rips each year than deaths from shark attacks, floods and cyclones combined.

And it’s not only tourists who get caught in rips and drown with only 15 per cent of those dying being international visitors.

Carrum Surf Life Saving Club secretary Ben Rooks urged people to know how to spot the signs of rips on the eve of the summer swimming season, which kicks off around the bay at noon on Saturday (12 November).

“You can be very confident in the water and still get into trouble in rips,” he said.

“And that’s especially so in the festive season when high spirits and alcohol play a part and especially young people have an ‘It can’t happen to me’ attitude.”

He urges beachgoers to “watch out for the signs” of a rip, such as calmer waters in between rough, white water sections, or river mouths, such as the Patterson River at Carrum.

“People often start swimming next to the river but then find themselves in the channel in deeper water.

“Patterson Lakes is a complex system with a great volume of water and, even on days of little wind, there are strong currents and drop-offs where swimmers can’t suddenly find themselves over their heads.

“They panic and then their mates try to help and, pretty soon, a whole group is in trouble.”

The river mouth is a known trouble spot. Last

Who is that masked man?

Thumbs up: Carrum Surf Life Saving Club’s Catherine Paulson, left on boat, and Ben Rooks talk to swimmers near the mouth of Patterson River last summer. Picture: Gary Sissons

year six swimmers were saved in the one mass rescue and, the year before, soon after lifesavers had called it a day, another group was rescued by fishermen who heard their cries for help.

Beachgoers are urged to swim between the flags, or in front of the clubhouse if lifesavers are not on duty. It is safer between the noboating signs.

“No one has ever drowned while swimming between the red and yellow flags in Victoria,” Mr Rooks said.

He reminded swimmers caught in rips to raise an arm and call out for help or float with the current which may put them on a shallow sand-

bank, or swim parallel to the beach or towards the breaking waves, which may return them to shore.

Carrum Life Savings Club will hold its opening for the swimming season on Saturday, noon-5.30pm.

The young Nippers group also starts on Saturday.

New members aged 13-60 are welcome at the club for a range of duties and activities.

“We are 100 per cent volunteer and anyone who would like to join is welcome.”

NEWS DESK Police patrol Remanded on robberies

Line call: State government body says no decision on elevated rail yet been made at several sites including Edithvale.

Pic: Gary Sissons

‘No decision’ on raised rail Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE state government body responsible for managing the separation of road level crossings from rail lines across Victoria denies any final decisions on elevated rail along sections of the Frankston line.

Level Crossing Removal Authority CEO Kevin Devlin suggested elevated rail may be the “best outcome” as keynote speaker at a Committee for Economic Development function about cities and infrastructure this month and his comments were reported by The Age. Mr Devlin noted many bayside residents oppose any form of raised rail on the Frankston line.

“They’re concerned about elevated rail solutions on the Frankston line, and we need to feed that into our assessment of our recommendations to government,” he reportedly said.

“But we need to balance other competing issues. Is it feasible in an engineering sense?”

The LXRA is adamant ‘sky rail’ has been ruled out along the Frankston line but says rail over road bridges are being considered as are rail under road trenches at specific level crossings along the line.

“No decisions have been made about the final designs of the further nine level crossing removal projects on the Frankston line,” project director Brad Smits said.

“All feasible options for the removal of each level crossing are being considered and were provided to the community through our extensive consultation process over the past eight weeks. All those options remain on the table.

“We will consider this community feedback in conjunction with dozens of complex engineering and technical assessments over coming months before determining how the level crossings

will be removed.”

A ‘rail trench’ and ‘rail bridge’ are being considered for level crossings at Seaford, Bonbeach, Edithvale, Mentone and Cheltenham.

A rail bridge may be built at a new crossing at McLeod Rd in Carrum and the Station St crossing could be shut and a new rail bridge built at Eel Race Rd. A new ‘road connection’ at Station St over Patterson River is also being considered by the LXRA. The state government says a trench cannot be dug at Carrum due to the nearby Patterson River.

The Labor state government says there is no option at Skye Rd in Frankston – rail over road must be built due to an overland flood plain.

Final decisions will be announced early next year.

Critics of any moves to build elevated rail at any point along the line have dubbed such plans ‘rollercoaster rail’.

A MAN faced court last week charged with robberies at a service station in Chelsea Heights and a fast-food restaurant in Carrum Downs, 25 October.

The 18-year-old Pakenham man was arrested by the Southern Metro Regional Crime Team and Box Hill Embona Taskforce at a property on Princes Freeway, Springvale, on Tuesday 1 November.

He was charged with two counts of armed robbery, theft of a motor car and possession of ammunition.

The man faced court on Wednesday and has been remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrate’s Court in January.

Bentley bent round pole TWO 18-year-olds allegedly stole a $250,000 Bentley from a Doncaster house and drove it to Cheltenham before crashing into a brick fence in Cheltenham, 9.30am Sunday morning (6 November).

The pair, of Pakenham, are alleged to have forced open a garage door to steal the 2007 model luxury sedan from The Boulevard before driving it 22km to its crash point on the corner of Chesterville Rd and Argus St. Police in an unmarked car followed them from a distance as they drove south along Nepean Hwy and were awaiting back-up from the Air Wing and ground units before intercepting them.

Near Turner Rd, the car “accelerated rapidly”. They drove the car onto the wrong side of Chesterville Rd and up onto the footpath before colliding with the fence and telephone pole.

Police said the teenagers ran from the damaged car and were arrested

soon after hiding in neighbouring properties. They suffered minor injuries and abrasions from the collision.

The pair were charged with theft of a motor car and bailed to appear at Ringwood Magistrates’ Court in May.

Supermarket robbed

FIVE offenders forced their way in to the Coles supermarket in Patterson Lakes early Friday (4 November) and stole $17,500 cash and a quantity of cigarettes.

CCTV footage shows the five men wearing hoodies, gloves and masks forcing open the front electronic door of the store in Gladesville Blvd, 2.18am, and using a metal bin to hold it open. While one man waited in the getaway car, two men used an angle grinder and a jemmy bar to break open a self-service register, stealing the cash, while the other two jemmied open cigarette drawers and used a plastic bin to carry them out to the car.

The alarm company notified police who arrived minutes after the men drove off.

Call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Truck stop

A $1000 laptop and $200 cash were stolen from a trucking company in Braeside, 3am, Sunday 6 November.

An offender wearing a check hoodie is seen on CCTV using a pinch bar to force open a glass door to the Urban St premises, 2.31am, and enter the office/ reception area. He rummaged through cupboards and drawers throwing papers to the floor but, luckily, missed keys to custom cars parked inside the mechanics’ area as well as keys to trucks.

Meanwhile, a truck driver asleep in his vehicle out front slept on undisturbed.

Cold no barrier for Winter Warmers

An independent voice for the community

We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community.

We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

NOT even the coldest October day in six years on Saturday 22 October could deter more than 100 women turning out to support the fun and fashions at the Chelsea Rotary High Tea at the Chelsea Activity Hub in Showers Av, Chelsea.

This sell-out event late last month was the second High Tea run by Chelsea Rotary with all funds raised going to community projects.

A wide range of fashions, handbags, jewellery, lingerie, beauty and health products were all available for sale on the day, with a fashion parade featuring the latest from the Postie range.

The Winter Warmers, an outreach service of Carrum’s St Aiden’s Church was the beneficiary of the day and provided afternoon tea for the event. Those attending included Kingston and Frankston councillors Tamsin Bearsley and Sandra Mayer.

The outreach service provides hamper packs of new winter items to vulnerable families in the Carrum and Seaford area at the start of June – just in time for the colder weather – through its contacts in schools and kindergartens.

“The aim of the program is to provide some physical and emotional support by demonstrating that the local community cares,” former Kingston mayor Topsy Petchey said.

“All goods are new and include items such as blankets, gloves, socks, beanies, baby clothes, food and grocery vouchers.

“The content of the packs are adjusted to suit the specific family members.

Hampers are distributed to the families through school and kindergarten staff. Families are not identified and their privacy is maintained.”

Angler hooks champion tag with 11.8kg fish Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au LANGWARRIN fisherman Harry Sellers is the 2016 Victorian Amateur Snapper Champion after he landed an 11.866kg fish over the Melbourne Cup weekend.

Jake Milligan, of Mornington, was a close runner up with a snapper weighing 11.620kg, while Rohan McRae, of Wonthaggi, caught the third heaviest Big Red at 9.840kg.

The 2016 junior champion is Hunter Blackford, of Frankston, whose fish weighed 7.800kg.

The 33rd Tea Tree snapper competition was held on both Port Phillip and Western Port bays with the weigh in and presentation at Mornington Racecourse.

The 1492 competitors caught and weighed 1200 fish, with 719 fish coming from Western Port.

For the first time in the competition’s history there was a tie for second place in the junior section. Brodie King, of Manor Lakes, and Tommy Porto, of Baxter, each caught snappers weighing 7.480kg.

Some anglers walked away with a new boat, motor and trailer package. A 4.3m boat was won by Michael Fitts, of Mt Martha, who caught a 5.889kg fish. Mick Dobson, of Frankston South, caught a 5.814kg fish and won four metre boat and trailer while Ian George, of South Morang, caught a 4.25kg fish to win the 3.7m boat and trailer.

One angler recounted a story about a fish pulling the rod out of his hands while he was taking a bite to eat. He gave up trying to jag the rod after several failed attempts.

An hour later, another of his rods screamed as a big fish took the bait. Landing it he noticed an extra hook in the fish’s mouth and pulled in the line – and up came the lost rod.

Dental Studio 2-Twenty offers a boutique dental experience, with the latest technology, a brand new surgery, state of the art equipment, and the bonus of three decades of experience treating people.

Dr Albery has undertaken advanced training in crown, bridge and implants dentistry, and completed his Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in Myofascial Acupuncture. He is a founding member of the Australian Society of Dental Aesthetics and a founding member of the Peninsula Headache Clinic.

Your Hearing Questions Answered Is it important for patients to see an audiologist if they think they may be having difficulties hearing?

Yes, if you are starting to notice difficulties it’s important to have a full hearing test. We don’t just test which sounds you can hear, we also check how clearly you can understand speech, in quiet and in background noise.

Some common indications that you may have a hearing loss are: Turning the TV up Frequently asking for repeats Not being able to hear properly on the telephone Difficulty in noisy situations such as restaurants Missing out on important parts of the conversation Often your partner or a close family member may be the first person to notice that you are having difficulty hearing.

Is it true that a lot of patients don’t actually need hearing aids?

Yes. Probably 25 percent of those that we see do choose to get hearing aids.

Some people have a little bit of hearing loss that we just need to talk about, and continue to monitor.

Are there steps people who aren’t ready for hearing aids can do to help combat hearing loss?

Yes. Pick a seat in a restaurant where

you can see the faces of the people that you are taking to. This can make it easier to follow what they are saying.

With the television, if you’re not ready for hearing aids, we can get a set of cordless headphones. These can be one of the best options for hearing the TV clearly.

Are there ever very simple solutions to hearing loss?

Yes. Sometimes a hearing loss can be caused by ear wax blocking the canal.

If someone needs a hearing aid, should they always choose the most expensive, top-of-the-line model?

Most people don’t need the most expensive hearing aids, fully loaded with all the bells and whistles. It really is patient specific. You don’t always need the absolute top-of theline hearing aid technology, if the features that you need are available in something less expensive.

At Chelsea Hearing, we always offer you a range of options, and it is up to you to choose something that you are comfortable with. You should never feel pressured to proceed with hearing aids that you don’t feel ready for.

Are smaller hearing aids more expensive?

Generally, the style of the hearing aid does not have very much impact on the price. There are very good, small hearing aids available at all price points.

Larger hearing aids are not necessarily less expensive either. The good news is

that the very small, comfortable hearing aids are suitable for most people these days.

How much do hearing aids cost?

Most people who are on a Centrelink pension (such as an age pension or a disability pension) are eligible for the Office of Hearing Services Voucher program. This enables them to choose from a range of hearing aids that are “free-to-client”. These hearing aids have improved significantly over the past few years, and a lot of people are pleasantly surprised at how natural they sound, and how small and comfortable they can be. Pensioners can also choose to contribute to more expensive hearing aids if they wish.

For people who are not eligible for the voucher program, hearing aids typically start at $2,700 for a pair.

What brand of hearing aids to you recommend?

Chelsea Hearing is an independent clinic. We fit hearing aids from all of the major manufacturers. Our recommendations are made after we have tested your hearing, looked in your ears, and had a discussion about the things that you want to hear well.

We also take the time to consider your preference for style and size of the hearing aids, as well as your budget. We will recommend the most appropriate hearing aids for you, and we will always give you a range of options to choose from.

What is your philosophy on health care?

If I wouldn’t do it for my Mum or Dad, I don’t do it for a patient. When I’m making recommendations for a patient, I think “if this was my mum or dad, with this hearing loss, and these difficulties, would I be making the same recommendations?”. If the answer is “yes”, then I know I’m doing my best for a patient.

What does the relationship you have with your patients mean to you?

The patient comes first. The patient is your customer and you want to have the healthiest, happiest patient that you can. That makes me happy as well. To know that we are helping that patient to be happy is just rewarding.

What is one thing about your job that really sticks out in a positive way?

It’s really nice to be able to make a difference for people. Often the partner of the person with a hearing loss may have been repeating themselves and having to speak louder for years. When we help with a hearing loss (often with hearing aids) it’s often the family members who notice the benefit first.

Suddenly they don’t have to repeat everything, and they don’t get so tired from speaking loudly all day. It can make a big difference for the whole family.

the right pace of the individual patient.

Some people come in here, and they know they want to get hearing aids and they want to get it all happening as quickly as possible. Other people come in, and they are having some difficulties hearing, but they don’t know if they have a hearing loss. They may need a little bit more time to understand their hearing loss, and the options available.

It doesn’t help anyone to push someone in to getting hearing aids before they are ready for them, or to pressure someone to purchase hearing aids that cost more than they are comfortable with. Sometimes the best thing to do is explain what’s causing the problem, and what solutions are available. It can also be helpful to bring your partner or a close family member to your appointment with you.

Do you have rules that you live by when treating patients?

My number one rule is to take things at

College’s graduation rates down again Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au GRADUATION rates at Evocca College campuses have plunged to new lows amid a belated federal government crackdown on taxpayer funding to the private owned vocational education and training providers.

Updated figures released by the federal government late last month show course completion rates at Evocca College campuses nationally fell from a low 23.6 per cent between 2012-14 to 12.2 per cent in 2013-15.

The Queensland-based company trades as the Australian College of Training and Employment abbreviated to ACTE Pty Ltd and offers “study now, pay later” deals, known as VET FEE-HELP loans, to students who do not have to pay back course fees until they earn at least $50,000 per year.

Several registered training organisations, including Evocca, were criticised in a 2015 Senate inquiry of targeting vulnerable students with little or no chance of completing courses to boost enrolment numbers and reap hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of profits.

ACTE Pty Ltd has received more than $550 million of taxpayers’ money since 2011 despite ongoing low graduation rates.

Fees for short courses offered by the privately owned colleges are often far higher than equivalent TAFE courses.

Evocca has a campus in Frankston at Balmoral St and that campus name

Name changer: The Study Precinct Frankston, right, was formerly known as Evocca College, left. Pictures: Gary Sissons

was changed earlier this year to be called ‘Study Precinct – Frankston’.

ACTE decided to change the name of each of its individual campuses in April to reposition Evocca College as “change academies”.

When contacted by The News ACTE insisted its graduation rates are above the sector average and continues to say many students will graduate in future despite the college consistently having low graduations over several years.

The federal government figures released last month revealed the average graduation rate across all providers nationwide between 2013-15 was 22.9 per cent against ACTE’s 12.2 per cent graduation rate.

“ACTE’s graduation rates are better than, or in line with, many other major public and private providers and also do not yet fully reflect students who have enrolled but are yet to graduate,” media and communications manager Suzanne Bartlett said in a statement.

Ms Bartlett said the company does not release individual graduation rates at individual campuses including its Frankston business.

The federal government also does not collate individual campus graduation rates.

The blowout in VET FEE-HELP taxpayer-funded debts occurred after the introduction of the scheme in 2012 by the former Labor federal

government and continued under the Coalition government.

The latest federal Minister for Education and Training Simon Birmingham, appointed in September last year, has vowed to crackdown on “dodgy behaviour” by unscrupulous registered training organisations.

“Only now with historical data can we see the true damage Labor’s changes to VET FEE-HELP did whereby the scheme blew out from costing $325 million in 2012 to $1.8 billion in 2014 and $2.9 billion in 2015, student numbers jumped by almost 400 per cent, fees more than doubled and loans increased by 792 per cent,” Mr Birmingham said in a statement.

“While the 20 measures the Coalition put in place over 2015 and 2016 have stemmed some of the losses in VET FEE-HELP, with total 2016 loans projected to be around 45 per cent lower than in 2015, it is clear that a completely new program was essential to weed out the rorters and restore credibility to VET.” Labor promised it would cap VET FEE-HELP course fees at $8000 per year if it had won government at this year’s federal election.

The average course fee is $14,918 nationally according to federal government data and $14,088 for ACTE provided courses.

Growing gains: James Bertschik, left, and Cam Rambert are looking foward to opening up a larger co-working space for start ups. Picture: Gary Sissons

Hub on the move A HUB for entrepreneurs has outgrown its co-working space mere months after officially opening its doors to help new start-ups in a sign Frankston is open for business.

The Frankston Foundry opened in September (“New start for business start-ups”, The Times 26/9/16) above the Commonwealth Bank office in Wells St and co-founders Cam Rambert and James Bertschik say it has been a case of “right place, right time” for the business hub to launch in Frankston.

Frankston itself was named this year as a major entrepreneurial hotspot by demographer Bernard Salt in an Australia-wide study commissioned by NBN Co. Mr Salt found young Gen Y and older Baby Boomers, possibly facing post-employment life but not yet ready for retirement, have taken to

self-employment and entrepreneurship.

“We’re riding a rising tide of business start-ups in Frankston,” Mr Cambert said.

New premises for the Frankston Foundry will see member capacity rise from 20 to 100 full or part-timers, will feature faster internet connections and will be 480 square metres in size, four times bigger than the current space.

“We’ll be able to install board rooms and eating areas away from work desks,” Mr Bertschik said.

“We’re on track to reach capacity before the end of the year so need to move.”

Lifters not leaners: Frankston’s Gawain Johnstone went up against international powerlifters last weekend. Picture: Gary Sissons

Contest worth the weight IF you noticed a lot of huge men around Frankston last Saturday (29 October), there’s a strong chance they were part of a fast-growing powerlifting craze that attracted lifters to town from around the world.

Here for the ‘Big Dogs’ powerlifting competition, an invitation-only competition held for the first time in Frankston, eight powerlifters from Russia, the UK and Australia pitted their muscles against each other in the three-set lifting sequence.

After lots of grunting and clenching of muscles by all involved, Russia claimed the $30,000 prize when 39-yearold Andrey Malanichev lifted a total of 1140 kilograms in the combined squat, benchpress and dead lift event.

Organiser and Pro Raw Powerlifting owner Markos Markopoulos said Frankston was “the powerlifting capital” of the world and home to some of the best, but that the spectator element was a relatively new addition.

He said last week’s event at Frankston Arts Centre was the first of its kind, with a shorter schedule so that spectators could enjoy the entire competition, which is usually held over several days.

The new format was a hit, with all 400 seats sold.

“If you were out and about in Frankston last week you would have noticed it was packed – there were bodybuilders and weight-lifters everywhere,” he said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Inquest held into death of Mrs Sidwell Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE Coroner, Dr Cole, opened an inquest at the Prince of Wales Hotel, Frankston, on Friday, 3rd November, touching the death of Mrs Mary Sidwell, whose dead body was found floating in the Bay near Oliver’s Hill, Frankston, on 2nd November.

Dr Maxwell of Frankston deposed that under the instruction of Constable Ryan he had made a post mortem examination of the body of deceased.

In his opinion the cause of death was drowning. The body had been in the water apparently about 4 days.

Edwin Christie Ryan, Constable of Police, residing at Frankston, deposed: At about 1.30p.m, on Thursday 2nd inst., a man named Thomas McComb informed me that he had heard that there was a dead body floating in the waters of Port Phillip Bay, at Oliver’s Hill, about one mile from Frankston pier.

I immediately proceeded to the locality and, after walking along the beach, I saw the body of deceased (since identified as that of Mrs Mary Sidwell) floating on its back, in shallow water, near some rocks.

I waded out and brought the body on to the beach.

It was clad only in a flannel night dress and rain coat with black stockings and leather shoes on the feet.

I carefully examined body, but with the exception of a bruised wound on the right shin and a bruise on the left leg (apparently caused by contact with the rocks) I found no external

With Dr Fogarty’s many Frankston friends we join in hearty congratulations. *** THE contractors are fast pushing on with the Peninsula Motor Garage Pty. Ltd. new garage, at Mornington.

The garage, which is in the main street and of brick, is a modern building of which any town might well be proud. *** WE have received a letter signed “Observer,” from Tyabb, complaining of some remarks made by one person to another in the public hall, on the 4th November.

As the person to whom the remarks were made let them pass unchallenged we cannot see it is our duty to mix ourselves up in affairs of the kind. *** Children’s Flower Day Friday, Nov 3rd, was the day set apart for Children’s Flower Day on the part of teachers and children of State Schools throughout the State for the benefit of returned soldiers.

It was Flower Day in the city, the surburbs, and every town in Victoria.

The day was the result of months of effort. Since February last children

signs of violence.

The body was swollen and had apparently been in the water for a considerable time.

There was a handkerchief with the initials J.R. thereon in the pocket of the rain coat, but nothing else.

I removed the body to the Prince of Wales hotel at Frankston and reported by telegraph to the Coroner, and the Russell street police.

At about 11 p.m. on the same date, William Sidwell identified the body as that of his wife, Mary Sidwell, who had left her home at 4am on the previous Monday, October 30th.

The Coroner gave an order for burial and adjourned the inquest till Monday, 6th November, at the city morgue, when deceased’s husband would be present to give evidence.

At the adjourned inquest a verdict of found drowned was recorded. *** AT the recent “Australian Club” fancy dress dance, Miss Gould, dressed as a Scotch Lassie, was successful in securing first prize. *** MESSRS Adamson, Strettle and Co will hold a sale of horses at Tanti on Monday next, when they will have a large yarding of all descriptions comprising draughts, light horses and ponies. *** THE “’Wattle Club” held a dance on Saturday night, October 4th, in aid of the Returned Soldiers’ Entertainment Fund.

A happy time was spent. The music

in all parts of the State have been carefully cultivating garden plots at school and at home so that at the right moment they might have some thing to offer the public in exchange for money in the cause of Victoria’s fighting sons.

The children and teachers of the Frankston State School No 1464 took the matter up most enegetically.

At the end of last March a schedule of flowers, pot plants, ornamental trees, shrubs and vegetables was printed and distributed amongst the scholars, and they at once set about the cultivation and care of the various kinds of flowers that they thought would be best adapted to each individual case, and the magnificent display shown in the Mechanics’ Hall on Friday last gave ample evidence of the care and attention they had bestowed on the plants to bring them to the perfection that they had attained.

There was a fine display of roses, Ethel Bray being first with the best three varieties and Dorothy Ferguson taking first for the best single bloom.

In the open class, Mr A. J. Thomas’ collection of 24 varieties of cut flowers was much admired, also Miss Masterton’s contribution of foliage plants and shrubs (not for competition) was a feature of the show and added greatly to the general effect.

The request for flowers from thre proprietors of gardens along the Mornington road was generously responded to and the display of these gifts lent color and variety to the already gay scene.

The judging of the flower and vegetable sections was faithfully performed by Messes Dower and Bailey junr., and gave general satisfaction, as did also Mrs Hartland’s decisions in the classes for cooking.

The following ladies presided over the various stalls:— Flower Stall — Miss Keane and Mrs J. A, Cameron; Lolly Stall, Mesdames E M. McComb and Verney and Miss Stewart; refreshment stall, Mrs H. McComb.

In addition to the flower show a Queen’s Carnival was held by the scholars in which there was a Queen chosen from each grade, each queen representing a flower.

The financial result of the carnival was that £26 6s 4d was added to the gross result.

The following are the names of the Queens with the number of votes obtained:—Dorothy Ferguson (roses) 1970; Beatrsce Addicott (carnation) 1399; Moara Cameron (Pansies) 866; Lizzie Hay (Lilac) 505; Ella Dalman (Heather) 468; Jean Cameron, (Forget-not) 429; Byral Hartland (Marurite) 344; Marjorie Willox (sweet pea) 335.

Mr Richardson and Miss Keane (the head teacher and his assistant) are to be congratulated on the success that they attained.

They threw their best into the effort, and were rewarded by obtaining a result that hardly could be bettered. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 November, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

It’s all Nobel now, baby blue

By Stuart McCullough WE live in interesting times. Marauding packs of malevolent scary clowns roam the streets for no particular reason. Players of Pokémon Go are in plague proportions and keep trying to convince me that my dog is, in fact, a highly sought after Pokémon.

Temperatures and sea levels are rising, the apocalypse edges ever closer and ‘MacGyver’ has been remade for television without the key ingredient that made the original series such a success; namely Richard Dean Anderson’s mullet. Oh, and Bob Dylan has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

I, for one, am delighted. That Bob Dylan should win a Nobel Prize is a wonderful thing. That the announcement should provoke laughter from a number of those assembled just goes to show that the world has more Kajagoogoo fans than we first suspected.

But what has followed has been truly astonishing. Turns out that a surprising number of people have unreasonably strong views as to what does and does not constitute literature. In particular, they take issue with whether or not Bob’s work counts as poetry or not. I doubt any of these naysayers own a copy of ‘Blood on the Tracks’.

Songwriting is tricky. Anyone can write a song, but writing a great song is an act as difficult as splitting the atom. It’s little short of miraculous.

Without doubt, Bob Dylan has written some truly wonderful songs that are equal parts melody and profundity.

These are undoubtedly great works of art that left their mark on the twen-

tieth century. That he has the voice of a startled frog after swallowing a handful of gravel shouldn’t really come into it. Granted, not everything he’s written smacks of genius. Some of his songs are downright horrible. I strongly suspect when the committee was wrestling with whether songwriting could be literature, the lyrics to ‘Wiggle, Wiggle’ were not front of

mind. But leaving aside the occasional turkey, why have so many people been so put out by Bob’s honour?

Let’s be honest: the world of literature is prone to outlandish acts of snobbery. In fact, the literary world is something of a parallel universe that often prefers to remain cosseted in obscurity, comforted by the fact that very few people either understand or

like their work. It’s tempting, I think, to confuse the fact that no one likes your stuff with the idea that nobody else is smart enough to understand it.

These are the people who have been most directly insulted by Bob’s elevation to Nobel Laureate. The ones who don’t accept that the art form is anything more than disposable or, alternatively, that a Grammy should be considered reward enough. Their problem, I feel, is that they are comforted by a narrow approach to what constitutes literature.

Personally, I’m delighted that ‘literature’ has been broadened out to members of the entertainment fraternity. Now that Bob has broken through, I see no reason why Jay-Z can’t win next year. His lyrics too are poetic. And, in my experience, poetry readings would be far more interesting if, whilst seated around an open fire, students forgot about Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson for a while and unleashed the first three verses of ‘99 Problems’. It would really complement the wine and cheese.

It’s a travesty that pop stars weren’t receiving these awards before now.

I demand a recount. Members of the Grateful Dead are natural contenders for the Chemistry Prize. Dr Dre is a shoo-in for the field of Medicine.

And that Culture Club did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize for their 1984 single ‘The War Song’ is especially galling, particularly when you consider that it was so plainly awful that it nearly ended their career (although Boy George’s subsequent decision to appear on an episode of the ‘A Team’

didn’t help). While we’re at it, Madonna should be the UN Secretary General. As a bonus, she’d also be less likely to make another album.

The strangest criticism of the decision is that Bob Dylan doesn’t need the attention. To the best of my knowledge, whether or not you need publicity isn’t part of the criteria for getting a Nobel. I doubt greatly that anyone would claim Barak Obama was wallowing in obscurity when, in 2008, he was award a Nobel. No, these people are just plain mean-spirited. I, for one, am glad that there’s finally a Nobel winner who has jammed with members of the Rolling Stones.

Patrick White and Saul Bellow were responsible for some truly wonderful books, but neither of them ever traded licks at Live Aid with Keith Richards.

I rest my case.

I guess you’d say I’m biased. That’s because I’m part of a generation that was raised to believe that pop stars could do anything. Relieve famine, protest injustice and give Robbie Williams something useful to do with himself – these achievements would not have been possible if not for popular music. Though apparently there’s a hitch. Bob, it seems, has not returned any phone calls in response to the news. It’s said that the committee feels greatly insulted. He probably just wants to know if the dressing room rider has the right number of brown M & Ms. As well he should.

All I can say to members of the Nobel committee is this: welcome to rock and roll. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

PROUDLY PRESENTED BY

THE BLACK SORROWS The Black Sorrows have earned the reputation as a dynamic live act. There is a level of accessibility to The Black Sorrows that can appeal to the newest of fan. At the helm, Camilleri steers the band through an energetic interplay of solid grooves and well- crafted songs that mix those well-worn ingredients of blues, soul, R&B, gospel, country and even Brill Building pop. Spontaneous (forget set lists) and emotionally driven, Joe ensures that no two performances are ever the same.

Camilleri’s mantra is simple “we come to play and leave the audience feeling exhilarated”.

The Black Sorrows continue to be one of Australia’s most enduring touring bands and a festival favourite.

Membership in The Black Sorrows has always

been loose and fluid with Camilleri being the only constant.

In keeping with Joe’s desire to continually move forward, the latest incarnation of The Black Sorrows is - Claude Carranza (guitar/ vocals), Mark Gray (bass/vocals), John McAll (keyboards/vocals) and Angus Burchall (drums).

Joe Camilleri continues to write with his long-term writing partner Nick Smith and will release The Black Sorrows’ 18th album in 2016, bringing Camilleri’s career discography ever closer to an incredible 50 releases.

The Black Sorrows will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, on Friday 2 December. Tickets at grand.oztix.com.au or www.grand.net.au

ABBE MAY OPEN FOR ENTRIES

PAGE 16

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News

9 November 2016

Re-emerging from a hiatus earlier this year with the catchy pop dittie ‘Are We Flirting’, Abbe May’s followup ‘Doomsday Clock’ unveils yet another side to her personality as she reveals yet another layer of her forthcoming album ‘Bitchcraft’ and a national tour this November/December.

The song contrasts a joyous Gospel choir (Featuring May, Joni Hogan and Odette Mercy) with striking, ominous bells that ring throughout what could be May’s most immediate single yet. May suggests there is a chance for hope offered through acknowledgment of our inevitable demise.

One of the earliest songs written for ‘Bitchcraft’, Doomsday Clock was developed at a time when May was recovering from a nervous system break down.

“My lifeline really was the great love I feel for my infant niece and nephews. It really made me see beyond myself, that I needed to do something more meaningful than pursue this whole sex, drugs and rock and roll thing.

I want them to have a good future here on earth. I want to try at least to help guide them through a better world than the one I currently see being willfully destroyed through greed, manipulation and stupidity. I am just a singer but I may as well use my voice for good if it can in any way make the world better for them.”

On one level, ‘Doomsday Clock’ is about what May sees as the great fallacy of trickle-down economics and the environmental and social destruction it has caused. On another level, it is about the internal and external struggles of seemingly inexplicable existence and how they mirror each other in crisis and rapture.

‘Doomsday Clock’ reveals Abbe May as an artist who is not content to stay silent in a politically conservative and oppressive environment.

“I am disturbed by the political climate in

Australia. We seem to live in a country that is more concerned with #censusfail than about our government’s horrifying abuses of the human rights of refugees. We have lost our way and it bodes very badly for our future.

We are being told to fear refugees by the very people we should be focusing our suspicions on - the vast majority of politicians and the big business they work for. They are the ones keeping everyone hungry. They sold us the trickle down lie. Not the refugees. History has shown how conservative governments deliberately fan the flames of the fear of the ‘other’ to keep control and to distract us.

They deliberately gut funding for the arts and for education so as to keep us uninformed and therefore unarmed against their policies which are overwhelmingly geared toward creating massive class divide. This is not a time for artists to be silent. We have a job to do.”

Abbe May will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, on Friday 25 November. Tickets at grand.oztix.com.au or www.grand.net.au

Sharks dip early in the season PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully SORRENTO sits in the bottom half of the MPCA Provincial ladder after being convincingly beaten by Baxter on Saturday.

The Sharks resumed at 2/13, chasing Baxter’s first innings total of 7/298.

Despite some resistance in the middle order from Liam O’Connor (50) and Bobby Wilson (53), the Sharks were unable to reel in the total.

Brandon Rulach also worked hard in the middle order for the Sharks with 36 but it could only drag the total to 223 from 75.1 owners, handing Baxter a 65 run win.

Chamika Sattambi finished with 3/35 from 15 overs after snaring 2/7 on the opening day, while Todd

Quinn proved to be the menace with the ball, taking 5/57 from 17.1 overs.

Peninsula Old Boys head the logjam at the top of the ladder after easy working over Pines.

The Old Boys, Mornington, Baxter, Langwarrin and Pearcedale are all on 30 points after three rounds, while Mt Eliza is on 26 points, which is just the start they needed.

Defending 5/345 against Pines, Peninsula Old Boys made reasonably light work of defending the total.

With Pines’ skipper Craig Entwhistle unable to bat, that made the home team’s batting line up vulnerable.

When star recruit Damien Lawrence was sent packing for a duck, the task of getting the required runs was always going to be tough.

Rhys Chalkley was strong with 60 and Harley Peace-Stirling was good

with 57, however there was no other resistance offered.

Pines was bowled out for 197 after 65 overs.

Adam Gailitis started the damage for POB and he finished with the mighty figures of 5/43 from 18.2 overs. Callum Parton snared 2/37 from 12 overs to have 6/64 off 20 overs for the season.

The impressive Mornington bowling line up was too slick for Somerville on Saturday, rolling them for 161.

With 254 already in the scorebook, the Doggies’ attack went about dismantling the Eagles batting line up.

Skipper Matt Foon was the pick of the bowlers once again with a staggering 3/10 from eight overs. Rob O’Toole helped himself to 3/37 from 15, Leigh Lambert claimed 2/35 and

Luke Popov 2/43.

Matty Roach was the best of the Somerville bats with 54.

Langwarrin made light work of Crib Point at the nest.

Never an easy task at Crib Point, the Kangas ripped through the Pies in 59.5 overs for just 145, recording a win by almost 100 runs (245).

Joel Bateman was superb at the beginning of the innings with 3/9 from eight overs while skipper Trav Campbell set the tone early, claiming 3/36 from 14 overs.

Jake Prosser was also solid snaring 2/25 from 9.5 overs.

Mt Eliza sits just where it wants to after winning outright against Long Island.

Defending 6/196, the Mounties rolled the Islanders twice in one day for 81 in 36 overs and 79 (39 overs).

Shaun Knott picked up 3/22 from 18 overs and Justin Savio snared 3/26 in the first innings, while Justin Grant and Nick Baron took 2/23 and 2/2 respectively. Andrew Tweddle top scored for the Islanders with 19.

In the second innings, Knott took 5/19 off 12.2, giving him 8/41 for the match, while Baron snared 3/7 from eight overs, giving him match figures of 5/9. Peter Connell top scored for the Islanders in the second innings with 29.

A great knock of 79 to Max Blackburn and 61 to Will Kennedy helped Pearcedale record a strong victory against Moorooduc.

Chasing 240 for victory, the Panthers got the runs in the 58th over.

Nathan Hangan was the pick of the Ducs’ bowlers with3/39.

to get themselves back into the game and while it looked mighty shaky at times with the scorecard reading 3/41, 4/62, 5/83, 6/100, Dart was able to get them over the line with good support when it mattered from Nick Esipoff.

Liam O’Halloran picked up 2/28 for the Tigers and Max Watters claimed 2/44 from 21 overs.

Mt Martha wasted no time picking up the outright victory against Rye. The Demons resumed on 4/20 in its second innings after being bowled out for 79 in the first innings. Mt Martha responded with 9/115.

The Demons were bowled out for

85 in their second innings, giving the Reds 50-odd to get to pick up the win.

They scored 0/51 with skipper Mitchel Darville unbeaten on 31.

Heatherhill also picked up an outright victory against Seaford.

The Hills resumed at 5/188 after rolling Seaford for 109 in the first innings. They finished on 8/283 before sending the home side back in.

Despite 107 runs from opener Ryan McQueen in the second innings and 55 from Ian Rowe, Seaford was still bowled out for 200 in 63.2 overs. Jake Theobald took 4/30 for the Hills.

Needing 27 to win, the Hills racked

up 2/32 in 2.1 overs to claim the outright.

Delacombe Park smashed Baden Powell.

After scoring 316 in their first innings, the Parkers had the visitors 1/10 overnight. The Braves were rolled for 101, Dean Blight claiming 3/32, Aaron Aughtie 3/24 and Rob Fisher 2/27.

The Braves fared better in their second innings, finishing the day at 1/81.

Flinders did what it needed to do against Rosebud. Just.

Chasing 185 for victory, the visitors picked up the win in the last over of the day.

Andrew Power (41) and Tim Clements (48) were catalysts in the win, while an unbeaten 20 from Mason Mail and unbeaten 24 from Max Royal helped guide the Sharks over the line.

Billy Quigley was the best of the Rosebud bowlers with 4/58 from 26 overs.

Main Ridge picked up the important 12 points against Boneo.

Chasing 134 for victory, Main Ridge scored 6/168 in 61 overs before sending the pandas back into bat.

Boneo scored 3/167 in its second dig, Chris Jobling hitting an unbeaten 73 and Ryan Jellie hitting 58.

Hillmen set the early tone DISTRICT

By IT Gully RED Hill has already opened up a gap on the ladder against the rest of the MPCA District teams after the conclusion of the third round.

The Hillmen sit on 44 points, a game clear of Mt Martha (32), while Flinders (30) and Heatherhill (26) make up the top four.

Red Hill were too good for Seaford Tigers on Saturday. Skipper Simon Dart hit an unbeaten 101 as the visitors took their time getting to 6/151 in 65 overs to get the 12 points.

Resuming at 2/14, Red Hill needed

Frogs, Blues lead the way SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK and Hastings stand alone at the top of the MPCA Sub District ladder after the opening three rounds of the season.

Tootgarook recorded an easy victory of Skye on Saturday to shoot to the top of the table while Hastings won a tight match against Balnarring.

There is then a log-jam of five teams a game behind on 18 points.

Balnarring offered plenty of resistance in its game against the Hastings.

The Blues scored 245 on the opening day of the match and had the Saints reeling at 3/26 overnight.

However, the home side dug deep and got within 15 runs of victory, eventually being bowled out for 231 in the 62nd over.

Mitch Floyd was the pick of the bowlers for the Blues with 4/77 from 22 overs, while Luke Hewitt claimed 3/50 and Isuru Dias 3/44.

Tootgarook, as expected, made light work of Skye.

Defending 221 for victory, the Frogs rolled Skye for 130.

Pat Beckham was the best of the Skye batsmen with 30.

Frankston YCW won a thriller against Dromana.

Defending 232, the Stonecats rolled the Hoppers for 225 with one over left in the day.

The home side had a terrible start after resuming one wicket down on the second day, losing Adam Ciavarella early too.

Kierran Voelkl (70) and Jedd Savage (72) then went about getting the Hoppers back into the match.

The match see-sawed from that point, Dromana eventually bowled out eight runs shy of winning.

Brett Hudgson was vintage for the Stonecats with 6/69 from 29 overs while Sam Fulton claimed 3/44 from 22 overs.

Ballam Park kept their early season alive with a god win against Carrum.

A half century to Stuart Plunkett, 37 from Steve Worthington and 34 from David Cross ensured that the Knights got the required runs to win the match.

Defending 156 was always going to be a tough ask for Carrum, despite having the Knights two down overnight. Ballam Park scored 180 in 73 overs.

Tyabb eased to victory against Carrum Downs.

With 315 runs on the board, the Yabbies dismissed the Cougars for 194.

Skipper Noel Wylie was the best of the Tyabb bowlers with 4/47.
