Appliance of science WHEN it comes to science, there’s no stopping Patterson River Secondary College’s Bernard Field. The Year 12 student has just posted another outstanding score in the ICAS science competition placing him in top 1 per cent of competitors around the state. Bernard will be rewarded for his efforts with a medal – the second ICAS award he has received. He is also a participant in Monash University’s Enhancement Studies which, essentially, means he is doing first year university chemistry in Year 12. Bernard topped the university semester mid-year exams with a score in the high 90s. Picture: Gary Sissons

US retail giant touches down Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au COSTCO is officially coming to Kingston. Federal Infrastructure and Regional Development Minister Warren Truss gave the $35 million store to be built at Moorabbin Airport his approval last week. Kingston councillors were divided last month on allowing the US bulk

buy supermarket chain to open its doors at Moorabbin but a narrow majority gave the store council backing after much debate (‘Costco splits councillors’, The News, 2/7/14). The Moorabbin store will be built on 5.8 hectares of land east of the airport next to warehouses in Chifley Business Park. Moorabbin Airport CEO Paul Ferguson said the Costco store would

“cement the site” as a leading employer in Kingston. “The 3300 people employed at Moorabbin Airport – in both aviation and non-aviation activities – make up nearly 5 per cent of the entire workforce in the Kingston municipality,” he said. “With the addition of Costco, another 400 jobs will be created, which will be a major boost for the entire south-

The company was given the go-ahead to build a third store in Epping late last year, making the Moorabbin store just the fourth to be approved in Victoria. Mr Ferguson said drainage works, paid for by the airport authority, are underway at the site. He said a new road would also be built to deal with any increase in traffic in the area.

east of Melbourne.” Several Kingston councillors have expressed concern the US retail goliath may hurt existing Kingston businesses, although councillors who backed the proposal noted customers had to buy a membership card before being able to shop at Costco. A basic membership costs $55 per year. Costco has existing warehouse retail outlets at Docklands and Ringwood.

PROTECTIVE service officers began patrols at Aspendale train station last week. The officers will patrol the platform, car parks and station surrounds from 6pm until the last train departs. Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford said PSOs help make commuters feel safer when travelling by train at night. “It is without a doubt one of the most successful law and order programs in Victoria’s history,” Ms Wreford said. PSOs are being deployed to 212 metropolitan train stations and four major regional stations. More than 29,000 infringement notices have been issued by officers across the state since deployments began in 2009.

AN inspirational vision following brain surgery has set a Chelsea artist on the road to international success. Michelle Endersby has been invited to exhibit her Awakening Around Roses collection for three weeks in New York’s Chelsea art precinct next June. Her paintings are well known in the Chelsea community, being on show in a florist shop’s windows and in a “mini exhibition” of fruit and vegetable still lifes and a few florals in the Black Sheep licensed grocers on The Strand. But it is her distinctive paintings of roses on round canvases that have captured the New York art world. “In February I first exhibited my round roses at Kingston’s beautiful G3 Art Space in Parkdale,” she said. “The title, Awakening Around Roses, alluded to an inspirational vision I experienced on awakening from a coma following emergency brain surgery. “I found myself in a beautiful, light-filled rose garden, and felt that I had been entrusted with a mission to share a message of beauty, hope and inspiration with the world.” Now, Ms Endersby has the opportunity to show her paintings on the world stage after the Agora Gallery – on viewing her website – invited her to exhibit them there for 18 months. “This includes participation in a three week collective exhibition next June coinciding with National Rose Month in the US. “My paintings have been described by the gallery as ‘distinctively captivating’ and I will travel to Chelsea to be present when they are revealed to the international art community,” she said. It’s a case of going from Chelsea to Chelsea... Ms Endersby hopes her paintings “can inspire an awakening in others to take the time to smell the roses, to nurture their creativity and follow their dreams”. Now she’s following her own.

Analysis paralysis MELBOURNE is overcrowded with the population growing by 1500 per week. Planning Minister Matthew Guy says growth is OK as long as you plan for it. But previous governments did not plan for it, and so Mr Guy’s response is to go up and out. Outer suburbs with no schools, hospitals or public transport become car dependent, causing pollution and congestion. Our Green Wedges are threatened by this expansion: Melbourne has lost 100,000 hectares of Green Wedge land through myopic planning since the 1960s. Kingston’s comprehensive Green Wedge plan was accepted after spending $340,000 of ratepayers’ money and exhaustive consultation. Crs Paulich, Ronke, Bearsley, Brownlees, and Gledhill want “an acceptable compromise” to ensure vast tracts of environmentally sensitive land is protected, while freeing up some parts for rural living (‘Wedge plan defended’, The News, 6/8/14). There is no need for compromise if the Kingston Green Wedge Plan is followed as accepted. These councillors are now proposing another study, at ratepayers’ expense, to push for development in the wedge. Why should ratepayers fund another study to which we already have the answers? Will the council keep ordering studies until they get the answers they want or Green Wedge funds and ratepayers’ patience are exhausted? Are we to suffer analysis paralysis? Wal Grahame, Mordialloc

Time for Guy to act THE five Kingston Councillors pursuing a ‘compromise’ plan for carving up the Green Wedge say their plan will offer

people a chance to own and live on “farmlets” (‘Wedge plan defended’, The News, 6/8/14). Their ‘compromise’ involves rezoning a large chunk of the Green Wedge in Braeside to a residential zone, i.e. the same as applies to other residential areas in Kingston. The proposed rezoning includes a farm abutting Braeside Park and the Mentone Grammar playing fields. What exactly do these five councillors suggest people will be able to farm on their standard suburban size blocks? If the Minister for Planning, Matthew Guy, supports green wedges, perhaps now is the time for him to prove it by stepping up to the plate and telling the Council he will never approve their preposterous plan? Megan Sinclair, Waterways

Rudd met challenge THE article ‘Spreading a climate of change’ (The News, 6/8/14) accused Kevin Rudd of failing “to meet the challenge” of climate change. This is not true. The Rudd/Gillard government brought in a carbon tax, which Abbott, supported by Environment Minister Hunt has now repealed. Mr Abbott has done virtually nothing in the past year to combat climate change yet there was no reference to this. Good luck to climate reality ambassadors Reade, Sarah, Sharon and the other Greg!

Preschool parent Michelle Giri – who manages Kingston’s Relay for Life effort - said all fundraising activities made valuable contributions to the relay’s overall goal. This will culminate in a major overnight teams’ relay event - over 18 hours - at Mentone Reserve, Brindisi St, on 19-20 September. Last year, Kingston residents raised $30,000 for cancer research as part of an Australia-wide total of $24 million.

Woman confronts burglar A SUSPECTED burglar suffered head injuries after being confronted by a Mordialloc woman in her home last week. The woman told police she caught the man trying to break into her car which she had just parked inside the garage of her Collocott St home about 6.30pm on Friday 15 August. Detective Senior Constable Steve Hemingway of Moorabbin crime investigation unit said the woman had just returned home and had gone inside her house before returning to find the man leaning into her vehicle. “She has come outside again and has seen a man inside her garage apparently trying to break into her car or trying to remove something from it,” Detective Senior Constable Hemingway said. “A confrontation has taken place and it is believed the offender may have received some injuries to the back of his head as a result before fleeing empty handed. “At this stage we’re not exactly sure what he was up to, but he is on her property apparently in the process of trying to commit an offence before being interrupted.” The woman told police she had seen the same man loitering near her home on two previous occasions over the preceding two weeks. Police have released an image of a man they wish to speak based on a description provided to them by the victim. He is described as being Caucasian, aged in his 20s, with an average build and sandy-blonde, spiked hair, who was wearing a distinctive yellow hooded jumper and light blue jeans at the

THE article ‘Put Victoria first to last’ (The News, 12/8/14) stated public transport advocate Ian Hundley, when addressing a Victoria First forum at Frankston Life Saving Club, said census figures showed 60,000 Frankston residents travel to Melbourne each workday and “a large proportion” would travel by train.’ In fact, Mr Hundley said 60,000 Frankston residents in total travel to work and 5.5 per cent travel to Melbourne each day. The 5.5 per cent statistic was omitted in error.

Jobs crisis a ‘perfect storm’ Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au AN alarming jump in unemployment combined with welfare cuts and rising household costs are pushing more and more Kingston families into financial crisis, especially within marginalised pockets of the municipality. Latest jobless figures show Melbourne’s south east is one of the country’s worst affected regions, with unemployment surging 2.4 percentage points to 8.3 per cent in July, compared to the national rate of 6.4 per cent. Kingston residents have been among the hardest hit by the tightly contracting job market, with an unemployment rate more than double that of neighbouring areas. A region-by-region breakdown of labour market statistics for the year ending December 2013, when the official unemployment rate for Victoria was just 5.6 per cent compared to 6.9 per cent now, shows Kingston’s jobless rate was 7.4 per cent, while just 3 per cent of Bayside residents were classified as being out of work, 5 per cent in Glen Eira and 3.2 per cent in Stonnington. Adding the latest 2.4 per cent rise recorded across Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs in July pushes Kingston’s unemployment rate to close to 10 per cent. And that is based on the official figures supplied on behalf of the federal government by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, which only counts people “actively” seeking employment within any given month and ignores anyone who performed as little as one hour paid or unpaid work. Welfare groups say an ever growing proportion of people officially clas-

Shady deal for playground THE Carrum foreshore beachside playground is set to be shaded from the sun this summer thanks to the state government and Kingston Council. The Department of Health has approved a $50,000 grant and council will pitch in $26,000 to install shade umbrellas at the playground which opened last year. Council CEO John Nevins said the new shade structures were a vital addition to the new foreshore playground. “Carrum Foreshore Playground is extremely popular, particularly over the summer months, and council has

received a number of requests for more shade. The innovative design involves using brightly coloured beach umbrella style structures to ensure children are protected from the sun,” he said. Mr Nevins thanks the Department of Health for agreeing to help fund the project. Works will begin shortly and the playground will be closed for a couple of days while the shade apparatus is built. “We’d ask for your patience while we get ready for summer,” Mr Nevins said.

worst affected thanks to changes to pension rules that mean they’re no longer eligible once their youngest child turns six. “But we’re also seeing a lot of single men who can’t find jobs and have no way of providing for themselves. There’s a real homeless problem building up, and that creates a terrible situation that is very difficult to break out of.” The Victorian Council of Social Service described the state’s employment situation as “alarming” and said community organisations were not able to keep up with requests for assistance. “Community sector organisations are already stretched beyond capacity delivering basic emergency financial relief to thousands of Victorians who thought they would never need it,” VCOSS CEO Emma King said. The effects of prolonged high unemployment on the community was likely to be “profound”, she said. “Unless we bring together community, business and government to develop a comprehensive workforce participation plan and begin to re-orient our economic development towards employment-intensive growth, the effects on our community will be devastating.” One of the region’s leading charities, the Brotherhood of St Laurence, warned of a “generational crisis” created by long-term youth unemployment. “For young people caught up in this jobless spiral this can be a road to longterm poverty and reliance on welfare,'' Brotherhood of St Laurence executive director Tony Nicholson said. “We know youth unemployment has a profoundly scarring effect on young people that will hurt their life chances, including the prospect of even holding down a job further down the track.”

sified as being employed in fact work only part time, often in insecure, temporary jobs, and don’t earn enough money to cover their basic needs such as food and shelter. Of particular concern is the situation confronting young people, with youths not only facing unemployment rates almost double the average, but also having to contend with tough new Centrelink requirements, including having to apply for 40 jobs a month and being cut off payments altogether for six months at a time. Rapidly rising unemployment figures also only tell half the story – it is now taking people much longer to find work, with the average duration of “jobseeker registration” now 25 months. Low-income families and individuals will also be particularly hard hit by welfare cuts and the tough new Centrelink qualification rules. Welfare groups say a perfect storm is brewing as rapidly increasing demand collides with dwindling resources thanks to yet more government funding cuts. Most are already struggling to keep up with demand and won’t be able to bridge the gap caused by the welfare cuts, such as the axing of the Schoolkids Bonus. The number of new clients turning to charities such as Chelsea Community Support Services has stunned even the most seasoned staff. Manager Kathy Barnett said more than 200 new clients had sought help with the service in recent months, most of them never having needed to resort to community assistance before. “It has been a very sharp increase and the situation seems to be getting worse as more and more cuts hit families,” she said. “Single mothers appear to be the

Ready to help: Aspendale Life Saving Club’s Ben Hall will teach Sri Lankan locals lifesaving skills. Picture: Gary Sissons

Hall’s well for Sri Lankan mission Mr Hall is midway through the program’s eight skills workshop sessions, prior to departing for the 14-day trip to Sri Lanka in September. This year’s program is aimed at building lifesaving capacity, including upskilling local trainers to achieve their Silver Medallion for aquatic rescue, as well as continuing to create awareness about water safety. The training delivery in Sri Lanka will build on skills taught during the previous two years of the Building Leaders Program in Sri Lanka. “It will be great to share the skills we are learning with both new and returning program participants, to help increase the water safety awareness and lifesaving skills throughout the country.”

In the swim KINGSTON Arts Grant recipient Simon Grennan has produced a digital art installation entitled The Swimmer showing nightly between 5pm – 9pm at Kingston City Hall, Moorabbin until Wednesday 27 August. The Swimmer is the first works by Ringwood East artist Simon Grennan to transform the redundant bridge into a unique exhibition platform.

Security grants CARRUM MP Donna Bauer is encouraging volunteer groups to apply for Community Safety Fund grants. The Chelsea and Bonbeach Train Station Group and Carrum Indigenous Nursery recently received grants for safety and security improvements. The CBTSG received $6000 to improve the amenity of Bonbeach station’s surrounds. Group president Wade Ransby said the group was grateful for the grant. “We urge local residents, commuters, school children and their parents, local business and other community groups to take pride and a sense of ownership of public assets like train stations and invite them to join us for our community planting initiative at Bonbeach station,” he said. Carrum Indigenous Nursery was given about $8800 to install sensor lighting, security doors and mesh on windows to deter break-ins at the nursery.

ASPENDALE lifesaver Ben Hall is off to Sri Lanka in September as a part of Life Saving Victoria’s Building Leaders Scholarship. Mr Hall, 20, is one of six Life Saving Victoria volunteers headed to Sri Lanka to teach water safety to locals and passing on lifesaving tips. In Sri Lanka, over 1200 drowning deaths occur each year, compared to less than 50 drowning deaths in Australia each year. Mr Hall, a volunteer lifesaver at Aspendale Life Saving Club and swimming instructor at Bayside Aquatics Mentone says he is looking forward to the trip. “By delivering lifesaving training I hope to make a difference for people in the local community,” he said.

PATTERSON River’s boating facilities will be upgraded and Parks Victoria is calling for tenders to complete a car park upgrade before the fishing season begins in October. The state government has announced more than $300,000 in funding for the car park upgrade. Ports Minister David Hodgett said more trailer and car parking bays would increase safety and traffic flow. “Patterson River is the busiest boat ramp in Victoria and boating enthusiasts often experience delays in accessing the water, especially in peak season,” Mr Hodgett said. Carrum MP Donna Bauer said Patterson River had received funding for several improvements over the past few years. “In 2012, more than $480,000 was invested to upgrade the itinerant berthing areas to include a boardwalk separating pedestrian and vehicle traffic between ramps three and four,” she said. The car park upgrade works will be upstream of ramp 3 at Launching Way and will include asphalting, line marking and drainage works ahead of the snapper season.

Grennan, who is a lecturer in Visual Arts at Deakin University, won the Arts and Cultural Tourism Grant for 2013/14. His ambitious project The Swimmer saw the reimagining of the 3-storey glass corridor facing the Nepean Hwy into a suspended virtual water tank projecting a swimmer traveling back and forth. “The hypnotic rhythm of the swimmer will provide a visual antidote to the frenetic flow of the urban environment that surrounds it and will reach people that may never step foot in a gallery of contemporary art,” he said. Visit www.kingston.vic.gov.au for footage of The Swimmer.

100% of your fire levy goes to our fire services Last year, the Victorian Government replaced the Fire Services Levy with a fairer system, as recommended by the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. Now every property owner contributes a fair share to Victoria’s fire services, not just those with adequate insurance. Eligible pensioners and veterans also receive a $50 concession. 100 per cent of the fire levy goes to support greater funding of the operations of the Country Fire Authority and Metropolitan Fire Brigade. This includes firefighters, staff and volunteers, training, community education, protective clothing, vital lifesaving equipment and more than 1,200 fire stations and 2,300 trucks. Each year, Victoria’s firefighters attend more than 78,000 incidents, including road accidents and rescues, bush and grass fires, fires in the home, and workplace incidents. It’s a fairer fire levy.

One man band in class of his own By Jessica Mills, PEARL magazine SINCE bursting onto the blues and roots scene in 2002 Melbourne born Ash Grunwald has won numerous awards and a number of hearts with his charismatic and soulful performances. However it’s wrong to simply label Grunwald as a blues and roots artist- his mishmash of musical genres, musical instruments and powerful vocals put him in a class of his own. PEARL’s Jessica Mills spoke to Grunwald direct from America where he was wrapping up his tour with Xavier Rudd before heading home to begin a nation wide tour kicking off this month, which includes a show at Chelsea Heights Hotel on Friday 22 August. PEARL: Your US tour has just earned you the LA Music Critic Award for Best International Act. How has it been playing across America? GRUNWALD: There were antics, there were a lot of antics, what antics can I talk about? (laughs) We had a lot of fun. We’d go off the beaten track a lot, hire a car and drive up into the mountains - Colorado was really fun, we had a few adventures there. PEARL: You played in some pretty high profile venues in the US. What was it like performing on the same stage as music icons such as Jimmy Hendrix and Aretha Franklin? GRUNWALD: Amazing, we played at a lot of places where legends had played before, you know it’s normal for you to set up and play your guitar where Hendrix set up and played his guitar.

I’ll be playing like I used to play about six or seven years ago, when it was all organic. It’s all about smashing it out, one man band, sort of dance blues stuff. PEARL: You collaborated with Scott & Andy from The Living End to create an album last year, how did that come about, and what was it like working with them? GRUNWALD: I’m really good friends with Scott, we just get on like

a house on fire. I was travelling to Melbourne for St Kilda Festival and I invited Scotty on the spare of the moment to come down. He said “why don’t we invite Andy to have a jam?” and I was like really, that’s two thirds of the Living End, would I be allowed? (laughs) and he said “no it’s cool” so we did it. The first time Andy had heard my music was when he was on stage playing with me and it was just amazing so we were like we have to keep doing this. PEARL: There’s a few cover songs on that album, what’s the creative process like making a new version of another artist’s song? GRUNWALD: It’s pretty relaxing

actually; it’s way harder to write your own song. When I cover a song I really try to take it in a new direction. When we did Crazy that was perfect because we turned it into a rock song and I was doing my blues thing and that was far enough away. The last thing I’d ever want to do was something that sounded similar to the original. I do like to sing the melody similar though because with your music and your voice it’s already going to be different enough. When people mess with it too much and turn it into a complete different song I don’t really enjoy it, I like that you can sing along even if it’s different. PEARL: You’ve made a lot of music

over the past 10 years, where do you get your inspiration? GRUNWALD: It varies a lot. I always like messing with the genres, I do blend a lot of different sounds. It’s hard to describe my music as just one thing. At the moment I’m in a weird phase of getting away from the technology that I’ve used for a long time, all the electronic sounds and just wanting to go back to playing something raw, rocky, bluesy, powerful and organic. On different albums you give yourself a little statement of what you feel like you want to do, how you think you want to sound, how you think you can do the best music you can do at this point in time, so that’s what I’m feeling like it is at the moment. PEARL: So you’re currently working on a new album? GRUNWALD: I’m writing furiously at the moment to come up with something pretty good. I feel a lot of pressure, because I think this next album has to be the best album I’ve ever done. It has to have songs that are really catchy, single worthy and mean something. I’ve been through a lot and I think our society is going in a really weird direction and I’d like to comment on that but not make it really obvious. I want these songs to really tick a hell of a lot of boxes. I might record this next album in US to help to take it to the next level.

Net closes on fine dodgers A COMBINED police and sheriff’s operation in Frankston last week netted 24 drivers with 454 outstanding warrants valued at more than $140,000. Uniformed sheriff’s officers and police used automatic numberplate recognition technology to scan hundreds of vehicles on Cranbourne Rd at Ballam Park last Monday during the targeted operation. Ten drivers were notified their driver licence or vehicle registration would be suspended if they did not arrange to pay within seven days. These notices were issued against 122 warrants worth almost $38,000. Payment was received from five people to finalise 23 warrants worth more than $7,800. One defendant was required to pay $2,383 to finalise their outstanding matter. Sheriff of Victoria Brendan Facey said more operations would be run in an effort to stamp out fine evasion and to remind people of the serious

consequences if they don’t pay their fines. “Technology is making it easier to locate fine evaders and if necessary take action to have the fines paid,” Mr Facey said. “Payment of fines is not optional. People are liable for their outstanding infringements and continuing to ignore them will not make them go away.” The Sheriff’s Office regularly conducts targeted enforcement activity such as special operations and roadblocks, as well as multi-agency operations involving VicRoads and Victoria Police, he said. “People who continue to ignore their outstanding fines run the risk of tough sanctions, including wheel-clamping, asset confiscation, licence suspension and even arrest.” Anyone with concerns about their outstanding fines should call 1300 SHERIFF or visit www. fines.vic.gov.au

Desert dreams time PART of Western Australia’s remote desert is coming to Langwarrin in a free exhibition hosted at the McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery. The We Don’t Need A Map experience melds the traditional culture of the Martu people with cutting edge new media artists from across Australia. Stunning paintings, digital animation, video installations, photographic portraits and cultural objects immerse visitors and give an insight into the Martu culture. Senior Martu artist and exhibition consultant, Nora Taylor, said the exhibition is a chance for people to experience “a little bit of our desert”. “More people will see Martu painting, more whitefellas will see what we do, teaching people about the homeland where we are from,” he said.

The exhibition was originally hosted by the Fremantle Arts Centre in 2012 and was critically acclaimed and popular. McClelland Gallery director Robert Lindsay said the exhibition features traditional and contemporary artworks and photography, documentaries and Martu demonstrations. “Great knowledge and familiarity with the landscape means you don’t need a map to navigate across vast open desert terrain to be at one with the spirit of the land,” he said. We don’t need a map: a Martu experience of the Western Desert, Sunday 17 August-Sunday 11 November at McClelland Sculpture Park & Gallery, 390 McClelland Drive, Langwarrin. See wwwmcclellandgallery.com for opening times. Entry is free.

FOR a long time, Janet McCahon had been thinking about establishing a “choir of hard knocks” in Frankston to help the disadvantaged. Now it looks like her prayers will be answered ... with a bonus. A past district governor of Rotary International and president of the Rotary Club of Frankston Long Island, Ms McCahon has even managed to entice the man behind the original Choir of Hard Knocks project, Jonathan Welch, to help establish the Frankston chapter. Ms McCahon knows first-hand that many local people need help. In her other role – as president of the Frankston Churches Community Breakfast Program – she helps serve breakfast to around 70 homeless and destitute people six days a week. So, it was with a sense of serendipity that, at a Rotary district conference earlier this year in Bendigo, Ms McCahon managed to talk to Dr Welch, the guest speaker, and discovered that he, too, shared her dream of a choir in Frankston. “Frankston needs a boost – it’s not such a bad place,” she said. “I had been trying to get something up but it hadn’t been the right time. Then, after talking to Jonathan, and getting him on board, I knew we could do it. He’s a real feather in our cap.” Members of the choir will be chosen by different welfare agencies – with interest and passion the main criteria. “It will be great for those who take part and help fill their rotten days – rather than mooching around

the shops all day. Of course, not all will be brilliant singers, but if they can’t sing they will be taught how,” Ms McCahon said. “Under Jonathan’s direction we can’t fail.” To get things rolling, a choir steering committee will hold a dinner meeting at the Frankston International Motel on Wednesday 3 September to encourage local cubs and members of the business community to get on board. “We need sponsors to raise the money to get this brilliant idea off the ground and, if clubs get behind it, we can seek a grant to double the money raised,” past president of the Rotary Club of Frankston Long Island, Judy Rebecca, said. The committee includes representatives of the Rotary clubs

of Frankston Long Island, Peninsula 2.0 and Frankston North, the High Street Uniting Church and Frankston Community Support Service. Volunteers are welcome to join the committee. At the dinner meeting, Dr Welch will “talk and sing about the concept of how the activation of this choir can help the most vulnerable people in our communities to be socially included" – Ms Rebecca said - and also to "experience the best quality arts programs we can deliver”. Local clubs are invited to participate and to spread the word to the wider business community and others who may be interested. The cost of the two-course meal in the motel’s Panorama Room is $30 per person. Bookings are essential for catering purposes. Call 0415 109 859.

Spinning neighbourhood yarns LONGBEACH PLACE neighbourhood house in Chelsea is spearheading a creative community arts and craft project for people of all ages. The creative craft works will be in the form of yarn art which can be placed in gardens, schools, and specific parks. The project is based several children’s stories, including Alice in Wonderland, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Lorax and The Rainbow Fish. Kingston Council provided funds through its neighbourhood house access grant to Longbeach Place. The Chelsea Yarn Bombers formed at an initial meeting and through their joint efforts and networking yarn bombing project will be showcased

during October to celebrate Children’s Week and Senior’s Month. Chelsea Heights Primary, Chelsea Primary, Cornish Campus, St Joe’s Primary, Bonbeach Primary, St Francis Xavier and Frankston Secondary High are the schools involved. Cheltenham Community Centre, Chelsea Heights Community Centre, and Chelsea Longbeach Place are the community centres coordinating the project. Other organisations such as Chelsea Occasional Care, Chelsea Kindergarten, Chelsea Heights Kindergarten, Argyle Place Residential Care and Mentone Carrum Girl Guides are also joining in. Donations of yarn and other crafty bits are welcome. Donated baby boo-

ties would be appreciate since Longbeach Place yarn bombers have a few caterpillar feet to cover. Once the displays are removed the larger material knitted pieces will donated to our animal shelters in Seaford and Keysborough. Part of the display will be an interactive walking trail that will include yarn inspired crafty pieces displayed in trees and on fences along the trails for families to enjoy. For more information or expressions of interest call Longbeach Place on 9776 1386 or email admin@longbeachplace.org.au Visit www.facebook.com/chelseayarnbombers or www.facebook.com/ longbeachplace for further details.

Resort-style living THE impressive street appeal alone should sell you on this spectacular resort-class home, set in one of Rosebudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest residential areas. Be warned: a walk-through tour is an absolute treat and will make all adore this home. Set on a gently sloping block measuring 2300 square metres, the home has been designed with comfortable family living and easy entertaining firmly in mind. All the hard work has been done for you with virtually nothing in the way of maintenance required, allowing you all the time in the world to enjoy the facilities that abound throughout the property. Front and centre is a massive open plan family area with timber floors incorporating a stylish kitchen with not one but two casual living spaces, and a dining zone. The kitchen features a stainless-steel wall oven and twin-drawer dishwasher, with a large island bench perfect for busy breakfasts. Around one corner is a formal lounge and a dining alcove, both with richly carpeted floors. The opulent master bedroom will delight all with a walk-through robe leading to a bright ensuite bathroom. Three more bedrooms all have built-in robes and for the ultimate in space, each will easily accommodate a queen-sized bed. The outdoor improvements are where this home really shines with an amazing undercover entertaining area looking out over a stunning in-ground, solar heated pool that has been set into an elevated sundeck. If you prefer the view from side on, take some time out in the Balinese-style hut that houses a relaxing spa hot tub. All areas are privately screened from the street and surrounded by a hardy array of yuccas, ferns and palms. Befitting a property of this calibre, and again underlining the emphasis that you get to enjoy this home, not be a slave to it, there is a host of smart, time-saving features programmed to control the heating & cooling systems inside and the turf and garden irrigation systems outside. Even the pool, solar heating and home security are taken care of. A double garage under the roofline has internal access and a double carport is great to store the extra recreational vehicles. Total relaxation has never looked this good, nor this easy.

Magical mystery tour

Pleasure to own

THIS exquisite family sanctuary is set in a prime location within the Golf Links Estate and from the moment you first inspect, the wow factor is evident. The amount of space is the first thing you notice and the inviting twists and turns throughout the home allow certain areas to be zoned off from one another ensuring a degree of privacy for all. A large living room has a new gas log-effect fireplace and through a set of concertina doors you step through into an equally spacious kitchen and dining area. The splendid kitchen is overflowing with cupboard and drawer space and appliances include a wall-oven. There is a handy servery window through to a second living area that accesses the private rear verandah and the delightful paved courtyard which has a large citrus tree for shade. Offering up to five bedrooms, this home is sure to be a hit with families of any size. There are two bathrooms, and perhaps most importantly for those starting out or even re-locating from inter-state, the home is available fully-furnished if required.

LOCATED right in the heart of Chelsea, this warm and inviting unit has a beautiful, modern interior that is sure to please. Highlighted by timber floors the main living zone has a sparkling kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and gas hotplates, with gas heating featured in the adjoining dining and lounge area which also receives plenty of natural light. Two bedrooms both have built-in robes and share the one bathroom, and outside is a wellfenced and partially paved patio. This very neat block has a large driveway with one car space allocated. The convenient location should put this home on the radar of investors or retiree’s, with the beach, transport, shops and parkland all close at hand.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

‘Off to the war’ footballer honored Compiled by Cameron McCullough SIR William H. Irvine will address the electors at Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday next, at 8 o’clock. *** IN our advertising columns Mr R. J. Hoskings announces that he has opened a cycle shop at Somerville, and has new and secondhand bicycles for sale, also all accessories. *** MR J. K. McDougall will hold a meeting in the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock, when he will address the electors. *** MR W. Schultz returned home on Monday, after undergoing an operation in Melbourne. We are pleased to report that he is progressing favorably. *** MESSERS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing sale today of choice poultry, farm implements and household furniture, by order of Mr A. E. Kelly, of Frankston, who is leaving for the war at once. *** WE regret to learn that the Rev. R. Jackson has again had an attack of illness, and is confined to his room. We trust to hear of his speedy recovery. *** DR Fogarty, of Chelsea, announces that he will visit Frankston every Thursday afternoon, and may be consulted by appointment at “Tally Ho”, Melbourne Road. *** A dance in aid of the permanent endowment of the Frankston girls cot

will be held this (Saturday) evening. Any balance will be given to help pay the expenses of a Frankston child while in the Infectious Diseases Hospital. Good music will be supplied, and refreshments will be provided. *** THE following residents of Frankston and district having passed all preliminaries, proceeded to the camp at Broadmeadows today, where they will remain till embarking for the war: Messrs B. Roberts, H. Covington, F. Smith, A. Gerschwitz, A. Verney, A. Hook, A G Young, C. Bunney, G. Vagg, L. T. Malcolm, J. Cuthbert, R. Bates (Mornington), and A. E Kelly. *** THE secretary of the Frankston football club desires to acknowledge the following donations, and would be pleased to receive any that have been promised :- Mr W. B. Cunningham 10s, Mr S. Sherlock 5s, Mr C. Dalman 5s, Mrs Hay 5s, Mr Kelly 3s, Mr H. Allen 10s 6d. The secretary would also be pleased to receive any accounts due to the club, and the future address will be care of Mr E. Worrall. *** DURING the past few days two of the poultry farmers in the vicinity of Kars Street have suffered from the inroad of thieves, who have been bold enough to enter the fowl houses in the course of the afternoon and gather all the eggs they could lay their hands on. Probably some boys more in a spirit of bravado are the culprits. If so it is to be hoped they will at once turn their talents to a better account, otherwise

they will find themselves under lock and key, as the police are keeping a careful eye on that neighborhood. *** IT will be seen by an advertisement in another column that a meeting of the committee of men of the Frankston Patriotic Movement will be held at the Mechanics’ Institute on Monday next at 8 p.m. The committee has power to add and all interested whether members or not are invited to attend. It is to be hoped that there will be a full attendance. To illustrate what can be done it is of interest to announce that the treasurer of the Frankston Patriotic Fund has received the sum of 11s 2d, made up chiefly of very small amounts, and collected by the boys of the Boys’ Home, Frankston. *** WANTED - Lad to learn blacksmithing trade. A good chance to learn. A. W. Twyford and Son, Coachbuilders, Somerville. *** FRANKSTON ladies have been busily engaged this week in making material up for the comfort of the soldiers in Europe. The attendances at the Mechanics’ hall has been good, and great enthusiasm is being shown. The response to Dr. Maxwell’s invitation to instruct First aid classes once a week met with such a hearty response that too many names were given in for one class, and two have now been formed. *** MEMBERS of the Frankston rifle club had their first drill on Monday, when

they were put through their paces by Mr. S. Corlett. Several Frankston young men have volunteered for active service. Some are already in camp at Broadmeadows while other are expecting “marching orders” daily. *** OFF TO THE WAR. FRANKSTON FOOTBALLER HONORED. At the Prince of Wales Hotel on Tuesday evening, a presentation was made to Mr George Vagg, who has received orders to join the expeditionary force recently formed. Owing to the very short notice, the arrangements had to be made very hurriedly, consequently there was not a large attendance. Apologies for inability to be present were received from Dr Maxwell, and Messrs T. Ritchie and S. Lawrey. Mr W. Oates presided, and, in making the presentation, spoke in glowing term of the departing guest as a sport and a man. He said that every one had been pleased to meet Mr Vagg. He had not played football to see what he could get out of the club - his services were purely voluntary. He had watched him play football, and had never seen him do a cowardly action. They all felt great regret at losing Mr Vagg, but when one thought of their position, they could not help but think that the Australian boys were right in offering to serve their country. While regretting the necessity for Mr Vagg to go, he felt sure that he would uphold the dignity if Australia and Frankston,

and would do justice to whatever he took in hand. The supporters of the football club and his Frankston friends felt that they could not let “Vaggio’’ go without something to show their regard for him and he had much pleasure in handing him the tokens of esteem and goodwill everyone felt. Messrs Harley, Hartland, Willox, Smith, Verney, Worrall, Young and Gerschwitz also added their quota of praise and appreciation of the manly qualites of the departing guest. Mr Vagg, who was much affected, said that he had done what he could for the club because of his respect and admiration not only for the players, but the men behind them. He felt they we e under a great obligation to the Empire, and he felt that he should go and do what he could to help. He thanked them for their gift, and for the kind sentiments expressed, and hoped that he would soon be back to see every one again. “For he’s a jolly good fellow” was most heartily sung, and three cheers given for the departing guest. The presentation consisted of a gold medal, and a smoker’s outfit in case. The medal was inscribed ‘To George Vagg, from his Frankston friends, as a token of esteem, 18/8/14.” Mr A. Verney contributed harmony during the evening. Mr Vagg proceeded to the camp at Broadmeadows on Wednesday. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 August 1914.

HEARING AWARENESS WEEK

Tiny aid hears but not seen THERE is absolutely no reason why anyone should put up with the social disability of hearing loss. The newest digital hearing aids have hi-fi quality sound, are comfortable and virtually invisible. But just how small and hidden can they be? The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the size of the ear canal, the severity of the loss, the size of the components and the expertise of the professional evaluating, prescribing ad fitting the hearing aid. The smallest hearing aids sit deep in the ear canal, close to the ear drum, and usually cannot be seen when fully inserted. Hidden Hearing specialises in deep canal fittings. Alastair Bacon, Hidden Hearing’s senior clinician, has been fitting hearing aids since 1984. According to Alastair, “Thanks to the miniaturisation of components and advances in the manufacturing process we are now able to fit hearing aids that are truly invisible when inserted.” After undertaking a comprehensive hearing assessment, an accurate impression is taken of the ear canal using a special silicon compound. The impression is then scanned using a 3D optical scanner. At the laboratory a 3D printer using laser beams produces a precise identical copy. This becomes the shell of the hearing aid. As for the technology, all deep canal aids fitted by Hidden Hearing are digital and fully automatic, so it’s a simple of matter of inserting and forgetting. To make an appointment with Hidden Hearing for a free consultation call 1800 717 717.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

The finer points of time travel By Stuart McCullough AT first, I couldn’t be sure. Soon enough, it was a conclusion I could not escape – the clock on the computer at work was losing time. Seven minutes per day to be precise. This may sound like a lot of not very much – after all, what can you really do with seven minutes anyway? Turn up on time, for starters. Catch the right train. When you think about it, dislocating yourself by seven minutes in each twenty-four hour period can really catch you off guard. Worse still, the effect was cumulative. Today it’s seven minutes. Tomorrow it’s fourteen. As I write this, I am not in the here and now but am stranded twenty-eight minutes ago. Spooky, isn’t it? Before you write in, let me be clear and say that I know how to fix the clock – all I have to do is ‘click’ in the right corner and adjust the time manually. And given that this is a simple and mostly painless procedure, you probably think I should stop harassing the IT guy at unsociable hours and rectify the whole clock schmozzle myself… That’s where you’re dead wrong. As unusual as it is for me to try and fix anything that could easily be fixed by others, on this occasion I’d given it a red-hot go. But despite returning the clock to the correct time, I would find those seven minutes would vanish again soon after. Where could they possibly be going? If I peel away the couch cushions, will I find my missing minutes hiding there? Are they escaping

one at a time or is it an exodus more in the manner of a mass-breakout? I suspect they wait until they know I’m away from my desk before making their big move. There were more question than answers but, lucky for me, I had enough time to get to the bottom of things. I’m not ashamed to say that I’m quite the science buff. By ‘science buff’, I mean that I own a copy of Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History

of Time and have even read the blurb on the back. Also, over the full period of my life, I have watched several minutes of The Curiosity Show, just not all at once and purely by accident when flicking between stations. So, as a scientist, I know for a fact that time travel is simply hokum conjured up by a bunch of Hollywood types. That is, of course, unless you can get your hands on a flux capacitor and a DeLorean. Sadly, we only have a

Ford Focus at present. Even if I could get it up to eighty eight miles per hour, a Ford Focus isn’t the kind of thing you’d want to be seen driving back through time in. But despite my lack of a flux capacitor, I had unwittingly unlocked the secret of time travel. I’ve done some calculations. If I keep this up, by next Thursday, I’ll be back in last week. By Christmas I’ll be in March 2002. Come the end of financial year, I’ll be in third-year Uni. Before you can say ‘grunge’, you should expect to see me wearing acid wash jeans and a pair of Blundstone boots. I won’t sugarcoat it – this is going to get ugly, and not just sartorially. Life was hard enough going forwards. It can only be more complex in reverse. There are some people who lament getting older. Not me. Frankly, I couldn’t stand being younger and much like a bad cold, was delighted when I finally shook it off. Like the weakest link in a compulsory team lap around the oval, my clock is now starting to fall behind and dragging me along with it. So far, the changes have been negligible – incapable of detection to the naked eye. But I fear all that is about to be unleashed. Soon, the years will start to fall away and I’ll be getting younger instead of older, just like Brad Pitt in that movie – Fight Club... But what if I start losing more than just seven minutes a day? What if the clock starts to gain some momentum? Before I know it, I might find myself heading backwards in time at a great

rate of knots. All of which leads to the big question – why is this happening? The way I see it, there are two possible explanations regarding my missing minutes. It could be a minor technical hitch. Presumably, the ‘server’ will be to blame. Truth be told, I don’t believe that the ‘server’ exists. Like the Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot or Winston Churchill, I think the ‘sever’ is just a figment of somebody’s rather over-active imagination. Just like the Boogie Man or J. Edgar Hoover, such things do not exist in real life. Believing in ‘the server’ is, I feel, pretty much akin to claiming that the world is flat. Not very scientific at all. But perhaps I should stop fearing time travel and embrace it. After all, how many people ever really get a second chance? As I lurch backwards through time, this is my opportunity to set things straight. To do things a little better. To, where necessary, make amends. To correct just a few of the mistakes that have my marked my journey from ‘there’ to ‘here’. To finally get things right…. …They’re back. Without warning and without explanation, the seven minutes have returned to the clock. Perhaps it’s for the best. Maybe the past should be left precisely where it is. Time travel may be glorious in theory but, when all’s said and done, we are driven to move forward. Whether that’s in a DeLorean or a Ford Focus is hardly the point. The server, should it exist, would doubtless agree. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Finals places still up for grabs NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE make-up of the Nepean League top five will not be determined until 4.30pm this Saturday after both Rosebud and Rye won their matches on Saturday. Going into the final round, Rye holds down fifth place on the ladder, a game clear of Rosebud. In the final home and away round this weekend, Rye faces Sorrento, while Rosebud tackles Devon Meadows. A betting man would say that the Buds have the easier challenge of the two. If the results go as expected, Rye and Rosebud will be equal on points at the conclusion of Round 18. As it stands, Rosebud has a superior percentage over Rye and would grab a spot in the Elimination Final. It’s hard not to get excited about what is about to unfold. The match of the round on Saturday in Nepean League, however, was that between Red Hill and Crib Point. What a fascinating game it was. Red Hill dominated the first 10 minutes of the game but couldn’t put scoreboard pressure on the opposition. For the remainder of the first term and all of the second, the Magpies took charge. At half time, the visitors led by 20 points. The Pies had the first scoring shot of the third quarter, which was a point. That would be the last time for the match that the Magpies would score. Red Hill booted 13.9 to 0.1 in the second half to run out comfortable winners 16.21 (117) to 8.3 (51). Jarryd Douglas booted three goals for the winners while Harry Larwill and Jake Mitchell were dominant. Luke Herrington starred or the Pies with three goals while James Cook and Waide Symes were also very good.

Crib Point coach Duane Annable rested Jon Flack, Glenn Boyd and Herrington for much of the last quarter. Dean Warry was rested for the match. Red Hill had both Luke Adams and Blake McCormack star in the reserves in their first game back, while Jake Mold is ready to resume. Hillmen coach Tony Blackford said when the game looked lost for the Pies, the opposition coach Duane Annable pulled-up stumps. “It must be hard for Crib Point to get themselves up. They were two games clear on top and really don’t have a lot to play for,” Blackford said. “Annas (Annable) did exactly what I would have done in the same situation. It’s about preservation for them now. They were outstanding for 40 minutes and really had us covered. “We are still fighting for a place in the top three and we need to do everything right. “It’s another tough challenge this week against Dromana but if we win, the win today against Crib helps us achieve the double chance,” Blackford said. The other pressure cooker game on Saturday was that between Rye and Somerville. The Eagles would have enjoyed nothing more than to end Rye’s season. They using close but not close enough, going down 13.23 (101) to 14.7 (91). Only three points separated the sides at three quarter time after Somerville led by a goal at half time. However, Rye squandered opportunities, especially in the first half. The home side had 20 to 11 in the first hour of the game. Rye coach Ben Holmes with five goals and skipper Rhett Dutton were the players who stood up when the game needed to be won. Jedd Sutton, along with Justin and Todd Farrelly were the best of the Eagles.

Steven Gaertner booted 12 goals for Dromana in their 29.23 (197) to 11.11 (77) win against Pearcedale. Jai Williams also made it two sensational performances for the Tigers in as many weeks with four goals playing across half forward while a further nine players contributed on the scoreboard. Dean Jannson and Basil Sibasado were amongst the best for the Dales. Hastings booted 12 goals to three in the second half to thrash Devon Meadows 20.15 (135) to 8.16 (64). Luke Hewitt and Dylan Hand were outstanding for the Blues with five goals each and Steve Robb kicked four majors while Steve Charalambous was one of the best players on the ground. ‘Charra’s’ second half of the season has been outstanding and let’s hope the rumour of him retiring after this season are not true. Alex Doria was fantastic for Devon, Lukey Duhig played his best game of senior footy and Craig Thorne was also consistent across four quarters. Myles Pitt made his return to senior footy with four goals in Sorrento’s 15.19 (109) to 5.5 (35) win over Frankston Bombers. It was Pitt’s second game of footy for the season after returning from overseas a few weeks ago. James Hallahan was superb with three majors while Tyrren Head was also at his best. Hallahan would be a good bet for the league medal this year. Matt Harris, Jay Reynolds and Jason Kingsbury were the best of the Bombers. In the final game of round, Rosebud booted 25.20 (170) to beat Tyabb 4.3 (27). Tom Baker booted seven goals in a best on ground performance while Lachy Armstrong and Ryan Spooner had the ball on a string. Best for the Yabbies were Steve Hemley and Chris Samways.

It’s the finals countdown PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt DESPITE 17 rounds of Peninsula League football so far this season, we have to wait for the final home and away game of the year to be sure of the shape of the top bracket. A month ago, looking at the draw, it appeared Mt Eliza was odds-on to play finals footy and finish in fifth spot. Their challenger was Langwarrin. However, the Kangas had a tougher draw than the Redlegs, finishing the season with games against three top four sides in the final four games. They say a week is a long time in footy. The past three weeks has been intriguing. Langwarrin did the unthinkable last week and kept their chances alive with a win against the reigning premiers at Edithvale. A week later, Mt Eliza cops an unlikely loss to Seaford, meaning that this weekend’s games will determine who plays finals. Neither club has an easy contest in their deciders. Langwarrin has to travel to Jubilee Park to face the toughest test in

Peninsula League - Frankston YCW. Mt Eliza has an equally tough assignment, having to play Edithvale at the Eagles’ nest. There is currently 11 per cent between Langwarrin (121) and Mt Eliza (110) also. The Kangas can’t afford to get blown away by the best side in the competition. Fifth place isn’t the only contest, however. Frankston YCW has a two game buffer on top, but the real interest is the race for a double chance position between Bonbeach, Edithvale and Mornington. The Sharks are in the box seat with a great percentage. The real battle comes down to that between Mornington and Edithvale. One of those sides will have to play in an Elimination Final in a fortnight. So, the final round is going to be fascinating. Mornington regained its mojo after having their pants pulled down by the Stonecats the previous week. Playing Langwarrin at Langwarrin, the Doggies needed to bounce back and prove that the previous week’s

Michael Parker, Jarryd Amalfi and Sean Herdman were the best of the Kangas. Seaford came from 17 points down at three quarter time to cause one of the boilovers of the season against Mt Eliza. Against the odds, playing away from home and with not a lot to play for, the Tigers booted 5.8 to 1.2 in the final quarter to win comfortably against the Redlegs, 9.17 (71) to 8.10 (58). Jack Haidon was superb once again for the winners while Tom Shaw, Aaron Walton, Ben Crowe and Josh Stokes showed their leadership when it mattered most. Ben Lean was amongst Mt Eliza’s best with two goals while James Anwyl and Matt Ditchfield in his fourth senior game were also amongst the Redlegs’ best. It’s been a frustrating season for the Mounties. Edithvale-Aspendale got its season back on track with a hard fought victory against Pines. Jarrod Garth booted five goals and Brad Tagg three while Stevey Mannix, Zac Muschialli and Brad Gilder

dominated for the Eagles. Beau and Guy Hendry were the best of the Pythons, along with Dean Scerri. Bonbeach had 14 goal kickers in its 26.20 (176) to 5.6 (36) victory against Karingal. Ricky Ferraro was the best player on the ground with five goals, while Cal McQueen finished with four majors. Once again, Jackson Casey and Justin Norton were in the best players on the field. George Angelopolous and Tom Wilkinson were Karingal’s best yet again. In the final game, Frankston YCW led by 43 points at quarter time and finished winning the game against Chelsea 17.15 (117) to 6.11 (47). Dave Bodley finished with seven goals while Billy Rolfe and Kevin Lylak were the leading players on the ground. Todd Gardiner and Jayden Attard were Chelsea’s best. Chelsea coach Paul Howroyd resigned from the club on Saturday morning. This means Chelsea will be looking for its fourth coach in four seasons.

performance was nothing more than a blip in what has been a pretty good season. The Doggies led at every change with coach Stuart Seagar leading the charge with two goals in a near best on ground performance. Barry Smeeton and Paul Dadds were also significant in the victory. Seagar said that his team needed to get their hands on the footy first if they were to win the game against the Kangaroos. “We were smashed in contested footy against YCW and our work rate was very poor,” Seagar said. “Our skills let us down too and in today’s footy, you get punished if you turn the footy over. “When our work rate is up, we’re first in for the footy, stick our tackles and put pressure on the ball carrier, we play good footy.” Mornington’s third quarter was outstanding. Leading by just 10 points at half time, the Dogs booted five goals to one in the third term to open up a match winning 37 point break. The visitors went on to win 9.14 (68) to 6.6 (42).
