Twins join the throng FOUR sets of twins starting school at Kilbreda College was news enough: the big news is they join nine sets of twins already there.

The newcomers – all entering Year 7 last week – are identical twins Laura and Sarah, Lucy and Miranda and Emily and Grace, and non-identical twins Briana and Mia. The other twins already attending the college, in Mentone, are in years 8-12.

The Year 7 twins joined in orientation classes and made the most of the opportunity to get to know their classmates and make new friends.

“Kilbreda College prides itself on being a girls’ school where all students are known and where the diversity and unique gifts of individual students are encourage and supported,” co-principal Nicole Mangelsdorf said.

“Year 7 students often start the year with mixed emotions of both excitement and nervousness. Emily was pleased that all girls had been made to feel very welcome. Miranda’s advice to staff was to ‘Look at our features first before guessing our names!’

“The twins have all attended different primary schools and are looking forward to meeting other girls, engaging in new learning opportunities and getting involved in the many co-curricular activities offered at Kilbreda.”

The girls join new co-principals Nicole and Teresa Lincoln who say they are proud to be joining the school community.

Kilbreda was founded in 1904 and has around 1000 students.

‘Gag plot’ over cemetery plan Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A PLAN to build a “Kingston Memorial Park” in Kingston’s Green Wedge is shrouded in secrecy amid a bid to effectively gag a Kingston councillor from publicly speaking about the controversial proposal.

Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust wrote to Kingston Council late last year to demand Cr Rosemary West “withdraws from all further dis-

cussions on the Green Wedge development as a Memorial Park”.

The letter from trust CEO Jane Grover dated 21 October, seen by The News, addressed to council CEO John Nevins claimed Cr West’s “continued public comments in the press, together with her misrepresentation of confidential discussions held to date, lead SMCT to believe there is a possibility of real or apprehended bias on the part of Cr West and that SMCT may not and will not receive a fair and balanced hearing by council

and the community”.

SMCT has refused to publicly comment on its plan to build a memorial park in Heatherton while it is being considered by the state government (‘Cemetery plot for Green Wedge’ The News 16/9/15).

“I think this complaint is an improper attempt by the trust to suppress community debate on this matter,” Cr West said.

“I think it’s outrageous that they’d be gagging a councillor. They came and presented to council and gave us

the ‘soft sell’ by telling us all the nice things but they didn’t tell us they have the power to compulsorily acquire land and they didn’t tell us they were going to be filling the land because it’s subject to inundation [flooding].”

Cr West said the trust never requested that its meeting with councillors be regarded as confidential as claimed in SMCT’s October letter to Mr Nevin.

SMCT spokesman Allan Craig declined to comment about the trust’s attempt to effectively silence Cr West when contacted by The News.

“It would be inappropriate for us to comment on private correspondence,” he said.

The News understands Mr Nevin wrote back to SMCT asking for “further details of the public comments”

by Cr West but also stated councillors can say they support or oppose a proposal before a meeting without it being deemed apprehended bias.

Councils cannot ban councillors from publicly discussing any particular subject.

Blip in Bauer’s preselection bid Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au DUNKLEY preselection hopeful Donna Bauer has fallen foul of Liberal Party guidelines in her bid to win the party’s nomination as its candidate at the next federal election.

The former Carrum state MP distributed leaflets last month to party members touting her credentials as the potential candidate for the seat of Dunkley before nominations closed and a candidate list was formalised by the Liberal Party.

The early circulation of the leaflet to party preselectors before the candidate list was finalised is a breach of Liberal Party guidelines.

Ms Bauer said she was unable to comment due to party rules forbidding candidates from publicly commenting on preselection matters but Victorian Liberal Party state director Simon Frost confirmed the breach of party guidelines and said as a result Ms Bauer had agreed to only distribute one more piece of preselection campaign material to preselectors.

Nomination rivals will be able to distribute up to three pieces in total compared to Ms Bauer’s two.

“It has been brought to the attention of the Secretariat that there was a breach in the preselection guidelines by Ms Bauer, which she acknowledges,” Mr Frost said.

“In keeping with the spirit of the guidelines and fairness to other nomi-

nees Ms Bauer has been penalised as per party rules.”

Since Ms Bauer has breached guidelines, not party rules, there is no suggestion that she will face further sanctions although The News understands the guidelines breach will be highlighted to preselectors. The party’s candidate will be decided later this month.

Kingston councillor Paul Peulich, the son of Liberal state Upper House MP for the South Eastern Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich, and former Liberal Isaacs candidate Peter Angelico are among candidates to have put themselves forward as potential Liberal candidates for Dunkley.

Mr Angelico withdrew as the Liberal candidate for Isaacs before the 2010 federal election after an industrial accident at his Dandenong steel business crushed a teenage worker’s hand.

The seat of Dunkley will be vacated by former small business minister Bruce Billson at the next federal election, to be held this year, due to his exit from politics after his demotion from cabinet late last year by incoming Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

The Dunkley electorate includes the suburbs Frankston, Langwarrin, Mt Eliza, Mornington, Seaford and Skye.

The Labor Party has chosen lawyer Peta Murphy to contest Dunkley. Mr Billson held the seat for 20 years but Labor Party strategists have Dunkley in their sights as a potential ‘gain’ as an often marginal seat.

Redevelopment of hotel edges closer

HERITAGE Victoria has approved a planned redevelopment of the Mentone Hotel in principle paving the way for an apartment complex and townhouses to be built at the Beach Rd site.

The heritage permit is the first stage in the planning application process.

The planned development of the hotel, also known as The Edgy, will be assessed by Kingston Council before final approval.

Heritage Victoria stated: “The Construction Management plan must include a structural engineers report detailing the measures being employed to ensure that all historic features of the heritage place are adequately protected during the course of carrying out the works and or activities, in particular works associated with footings and basement construction”.

If council approves the planning application a Planning Scheme Amendment will be submitted for approval by the state government.

A council officers report on the redevelopment proposal is expected to be publicly available for councillors to discuss later this year.

Developer Paul Huggins, who bought the iconic hotel for an undisclosed sum believed to be in excess of $9 million last year, intends to build a four-storey apartment building behind the hotel building and townhouses above a restaurant within the main building.

Those interested in the redevelopment of the Mentone Hotel should register their interest by emailing strategic.planning@kingston.vic.gov.au or contacting council’s strategic planning team on 9581 4713.

Storm hits Frankston line WILD weather and level crossings removals work combined to make it another frustrating week of travel on the Frankston line for train commuters last week.

Buses replaced trains between Caulfield and Moorabbin stations due to road and rail separations work at McKinnon, Ormond and Bentleigh.

Metro Train’s plans to shuttle passengers between Caulfield and Moorabbin for the week seemed to be going smoothly, with commuters finding little fault with the bus services, until nature intervened.

Lightning strikes during a storm on Thursday afternoon (28 January) at about 4.15pm, just before the afternoon peak, caused signal outages meaning Metro had to scramble to provide more buses and drivers to get commuters to their destination.

Buses replaced trains between Mordialloc and Carrum in addition to the lack of trains between Caulfield and Moorabbin forcing some commuters to take three train trips and two bus journeys on Thursday afternoon.

V/Line CEO Theo Taifalos resigned on Thursday last week after mass delays across Victoria’s rural rail network (‘Train delays frustration boils over’, The News 27/1/16). Labor Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan is under pressure to ensure Melbourne’s train services get back on track after a poor start to the year due to cancellations and delays.

Frankston line trains will stop at every station this week (Monday 1 FebruaryFriday 5 January). See levelcrossings. vic.gov.au or call 1800 762 667 for details of future bus services scheduled to allow level crossing removals to be progressed.

Fun in the sun: Cooper, 10, enjoys a day out at Seaford beach, one of several bayside beaches offering disabled access.

Picture: Bron Smith

Bayside beaches access vital for all PLANNING a day at the beach when disabled access is a priority can be stressful but a travel blog by a Carrum family has made it easier for local families to plan ahead for trips to bayside beaches.

The Smith family – mother Bron, father Andrew and children Cooper, 10, Pepper, 7, and Elwood, 3 – are keen travellers and don’t let Cooper’s cerebral palsy get in the way of holidays and trips off the beaten track.

“It’s my respite from life. We love to travel and that’s one of our top priorities,” Mrs Smith said.

“It can’t always be perfect with accessibility but it’s good to give it a try.”

The family’s latest blog post examined how easy it is to access Frankston and Kingston beaches when

using a wheelchair.

Mrs Smith says accessibility has improved over the years but there is still some room for improvement.

Wheelchairs are available to hire at several bayside surf lifesaving clubs and ramps now lead to the beach but the mother-of-three says it can still be a struggle to get to the sea.

“Access is good until you get to the sand but from sand to water is the tricky thing,” she said.

She notes Hobsons Bay Council has introduced beach matting on the sand at beaches and hopes Frankston and Kingston councils follow suit in future summers.

“That would be ideal if we could see it down here. Somewhere like Carrum beach – from the ramp to the water is like a day trip to get down there.”

Overall though, Mrs Smith is impressed with the efforts made by local councils and lifesaving clubs to help those with a disability enjoy beach outings.

“There’s really good facilities at the lifesaving clubs so it makes someone with a disability or a family with a child with a disability feel much more welcome.”

The Smith family visited 11 bayside beaches and found five surf lifesaving clubs hired out a beach wheelchair and ten had accessible bathrooms.

See smithsholidayroad.com for a full checklist to “make it easier for you to get to the beach and know what to expect before you hit the carpark/ train station”.

Police patrol

Gun was ‘child’s play’

Stabbing may be drug related

A MAN was arrested in Carrum after allegedly being found by police with an imitation handgun wrapped in a black balaclava hidden under his car’s front seat. He later told police he used the items to play “cops and robbers” with his young son. Chelsea uniform police had earlier approached a car in the Stephens St car park, 4.30am, Saturday, with five men inside.

The man, 32, allowed police to search the car and admitted to owning the silver coloured cap gun and balaclava with red skull print. He was arrested and taken to Chelsea Police Station where he was charged and bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in May.

A FIGHT in Parkdale over a possible drug debt at 10.25pm, Tuesday, led to a man being stabbed several times. Police said three Parkdale men were outside a Blanche Av house when a heated argument began over the alleged debt. One of the men produced a knife and allegedly stabbed the victim several times, causing minor wounds and abrasions. Neighbours called police who arrested the alleged assailant and took him to Moorabbin police station. He was charged with intentionally causing injury and released pending summons. Ambulance officers treated the victim in Rupert St, Parkdale.

Night out ruined A PATTERSON Lakes man was assaulted after a night out in Chelsea Heights and left with facial injuries and a possible fracture of his right arm. The man, 25, told police he and a few friends enjoyed a night drinking and dancing at a local hotel, Saturday night. At some stage he noticed his friend involved in a “bit of pushing and shoving” on the dance floor and intervened.

At 2am he left on his own and walked to a nearby takeaway in Wells Rd, but was attacked and hit to the forehead with a metal pole, causing him to fall head first onto the footpath where he lost consciousness.

He came to across the road in a bus shelter where his friends were assisting him. His father arrived and took him to Frankston Hospital where he was treated for substantial swelling and bruising and given a brain scan. X-rays confirmed the fracture.

Police are searching for two men of southern European appearance with tan complexions, aged in their mid-20s, thin build, one short, wearing a red jumper tied around his shoulders, the other around 183cm tall.

Anyone with information should call Frankston police, 9784 5555.

Bogged on the tracks A SEAFORD man was lucky to escape serious injury when his car became bogged on the railway tracks near Carrum Train Station. The 25 year old was driving south along Nepean Hwy, 3.25am, Sunday, when he turned left at a traffic crossing. Instead of turning into Station St he drove left onto the tracks and became bogged in the heavy gravel. Police alerted Metro Trains which stopped approaching trains, and replacement buses were activated between Mordialloc and Frankston. The car was towed off the tracks. Alcohol was not a factor.

Scales of justice POLICE allegedly found small scales and green vegetable matter in a backpack in a car, Governor Rd, Braeside, 2am, Sunday.

They say plastic bags in the car’s first-aid kit contained the drug ice, as well as dealing bags and a knife. Later, police say they found $1500 – all in $50 notes – in the driver’s clothing while he was being interviewed at Moorabbin police station. The man, 31, was charged with trafficking amphetamines and remanded to appear at Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Ram raid

FANTASTIC DEALS ON ALL ROLLER BLINDS

A DINGLEY Village man awoke when a white Holden ute with two men aboard reversed up his driveway and rammed into his garage door, 2.35am, Tuesday. The victim, 53, of Harrier Ct, confronted one of the men before the ute reversed into him, and he ended up in the tray.

The man jumped out as the ute drove off and then tackled the driver of another car – a white 4X4 ute – grabbing him around the neck. That car did a hasty U-turn on the nature strip, damaging a fence and narrowly missing neighbours’ cars, and drove off. The man suffered a possible torn Achilles and cuts to the lower back in the incident and was taken to Dandenong hospital for treatment. He said motorbikes previously stored in the garage were a possible target. The three men are described as Caucasian and aged about 27. The white 4X4, previously stolen, was found burnt-out at the Five Ways Bvd/ Springvale Rd intersection, Keysborough, 2.56am.

Anyone with information should call Kingston police, 9556 6565.

Highlights of the Mentone Historical Walking Trail include: n Villa D’Este built in1890s and named after a famous estate on Lake Como in Italy n Mabernoul, built 1900, is a classic Victorian Bungalow n Frogmore House a magnificent Tudor style home built in 1910.

Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said the project made it easy to discover and celebrate Kingston’s history.

“The virtual walking trail has combined the popular Mentone and Mordialloc Historical Walking Trail booklets with modern technology for a

unique audio-visual tour,” Cr Bearsley said.

“It’s a great way for our older residents to reminisce and for younger people to find out how the local area has changed and discover the threads of history that still surround us today.”

The project was supported by the property owners who kindly allowed their property to be included, Kingston Historian Dr Graham Whitehead and the Mordialloc and District Historical Society.

To use the walking trail on your mobile device simply: n scan the QR code on the Historical Walking Trails sign at the start of each trail at either the Mentone Train Station or the Horse Statue at Mordialloc beach. n access the virtual trail through the Kingston Libraries website kingston.vic.gov.au/library n pick up a Historical Walking Trails booklet and scan the QR code. Booklets are available at Kingston libraries, Kingston customer service centres, Kingston Arts Centre, the Shirley Burke Theatre and the Mordialloc and District Historical Society.

Cr Bearsley encouraged anyone who was not familiar with using QR codes on their mobile device to drop in to their local library for help or simply use the booklet on its own to complete the tour.

Lease sealed?

Seaford Beach Cabin Park Cabin Park owner Michael Hibbert awaits word from council on agreement.

‘Silence’ over cabin park lease agreement Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LONG-RUNNING negotiations to provide residential certainty for disadvantaged families and individuals at Seaford Beach Cabin Park could be nearing an end but cabin park owner Michael Hibbert says he is still awaiting final confirmation from Frankston Council that a lease he signed late last year is acceptable to council.

Mr Hibbert and council have been in protracted talks over the past two years to extend a lease on land at Kananook Creek amid disagreement over a land swap deal that council ultimately rejected.

The land swap deal – with a Crown land portion of the site, 860 square metres of land facing Kananook Creek, being exchanged with council receiving 675sqm of freehold land facing Nepean Hwy – was dropped early last year after months of talks (‘Cabin park deal ‘close’ despite reservations’, The News 8/4/15).

Councillors were due to discuss the sealing of the lease – a five-year lease with the option of a further five years in 2020 – behind closed doors after December’s public council meeting.

Council spokeswoman Natasha Duckett ad-

vised The News last week the matter remained “confidential” and an update would be given “when this situation changes”.

Mr Hibbert said he signed the lease late last year and has heard nothing since from council.

“I haven’t heard anything from council. We’ve written three letters because we’re conscious the residents could be evicted soon and we haven’t heard,” he said.

“We just assumed we’d get something back to say everything is fine.”

About 40 families, in 20 cabins on part of the park leased by council to Mr Hibbert, faced eviction from the park before council and the park operator came to an agreement on an extended lease last year.

The cabin park owner agreed to spend about $300,000 to upgrade facilities at the park within two years.

He hoped to hear from council soon to confirm the signed lease had been accepted by council.

“It’s disappointing from the residents who keep asking about it. We’re not hiding anything.

We’re just waiting to hear back from them but we don’t appear to be too high on their priority list.”

‘Gag attempt’ over cemetery plan Continued from Page 1 Health Minister Jill Hennessy will have to give the cemetery project the go-ahead before the trust can negotiate with land owners in the area, near the Capital Golf Club, to buy land located between Boundary Rd, Heatherton Rd and Centre Dandenong Rd. Some of the land earmarked for the cemetery contains market gardens.

Opponents of the cemetery plan, including the Defenders of the South East Green Wedge, do not want green wedge land used to locally produce food to be lost since agricultural land on the city fringes will struggle to supply Melbourne’s fresh food in future

thanks to a rising population and development pressures on existing agricultural land (‘Food crisis on the horizon’, The News 16/12/15).

Cr West noted the cemetery trust had no objections to Cr Geoff Gledhill publicly discussing the cemetery plan “as is his right”.

When mayor last year, Cr Geoff Gledhill told The Age it could be a “win, win” if an organisation such as SMCT “was to take ownership of the land and then undertake maintenance of the land”.

Men’s Shed funds on table to build or renew premises GRANTS to build or refurbish an existing Men’s Shed are available now.

Community groups and councils can apply for a grant of up to $60,000 to build a new Men’s Shed or $30,000 to refurbish an existing Men’s Shed.

Men’s Sheds promote social inclusion and improve the physical and mental health and wellbeing of men by providing a community space to help each other work on projects to help their community.

“Men’s sheds are an excellent body that promote the wellbeing and health of their male members and encourage

social inclusion,” Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richardson said.

“I strongly encourage council and local community groups to apply for this valuable program.”

See dhs.vic.gov.au for further information on applying for Men’s Shed grants.

Grant applications close on Friday 27 May. There are Men’s Sheds in Chelsea, Mordialloc, Dingley Village and Moorabbin.

Emily on track to help Kokoda villagers Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au CARING for others is not just Emily Vagg’s job, it’s a passion.

The 31-year-old Peninsula Health nurse is heading off to Papua New Guinea next month to spread the word about health education to isolated villagers along the Kokoda Track.

The trip, part of a No Roads Kokoda expedition, will see a team of health professionals visit remote villages along the Kokoda Track to dispense health advice and treatment if needed.

It will certainly be a change of scene from Ms Vagg’s day job as a nurse at the Intensive Care Unit at

Frankston Hospital.

“I’ve always wanted to branch out and use those skills elsewhere for the less fortunate,” Ms Vagg, a 10-year-veteran at the hospital, said.

“It never seemed to be the right time to do volunteer work overseas but this is a wonderful opportunity to trek the Kokoda Track and experience that as well.”

Ms Vagg says maternal and child health will be a focus for the team of about ten visiting the villages since mortality rates for women in childbirth and children under the age of five in PNG are high compared to western countries.

The lifetime risk of dying in pregnancy for a PNG mother is 1 in

20 and 1 in 12 children die before 5 years of age, according to the No Roads Kokoda organisation.

“The idea of the trek is to provide a lot of health education as well as trying to strengthen the relationships between the Kokoda villages and the health provider that is there to help teach them,” Ms Vagg said.

“There’s no point us giving them a machine they can’t use three weeks after we’ve left – it needs to be sustainable.”

The expedition will be flown in to the middle of the Kokoda Track to give help to the most isolated villages along the trail and the volunteers will trek through tough jungle terrain for about five to six hours per day between villages.

Ms Vagg said she is “really excited” about the trip and the chance to help Kokoda villagers along the way.

The team will hire guides from the villages to ensure money also goes to those most in need. n The No Roads Kokoda expedition will begin on 11 March until 18 March. Donations to help fund Emily’s journey including flights, insurance and guide fees can be made online at mycause.com.au (search for ‘Emily Vagg’) or by depositing money at ANZ Bank, BSB 013 483, account no: 490227661, reference: 3063.

■ REHABILITATION HOSPITAL

SPECIALISED TREATMENT TECHNIQUES ST JOHN of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital offers additional specialist services – all under the one roof. Our comprehensive rehabilitation programs offer a wide range of services including Rocktape and Real time Ultrasound.

Rocktape: Rocktape is a brand of kinesiology tape that is used by physiotherapists to treat injuries and pain. Unlike traditional tape that binds and doesn’t stretch, Rocktape is engineered to mimic the human skin. It can be applied in a variety of ways to achieve the following therapeutic effects.

When Rocktape is applied with

little or no stretch on the tape but lots of stretch on the tissue it causes the skin to form convulsions and wrinkle. This creates a biomechanical lifting mechanism that decompresses the tissue just under the skin which creates a more normal fluid dynamic in the taped area.

Swelling is better able to flow out of the area, taking with it toxins which result from inflammation and injury. Blood has less resistance to enter the area bringing with it more oxygen and nutrients vital for healing and recovery and pain is reduced through reducing the compression on the nerve endings lying between the muscle and skin. This property is being used in the management of acute soft tissue injuries, joint replacements and fractures.

Bruised Leg

When Rocktape is applied with more stretch it can be used to support areas where tissue has been strained, torn, weakened or lengthened. By adding more elastic recoil to the taped area, functional stability and tissue ‘snapback’ are enhanced. Helping to unload painful tissue in conditions like tennis elbow, achilles tendonoses and plantarfascitis.

Real time Ultrasound: Real time ultra sound (RTUS) provides a moving image of our deep muscles.

The equipment used in RTUS is non-invasive and pain free. A small ultra sound head & water soluble gel are used over the muscle being examined, the same technique that

is used in pregnancy for baby scans.

Ultra sound uses high frequency waves & their echoes to produce an image.

Most commonly we look at deep abdominal muscle, the deep fibres in the lumbar spine and the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles normally work in unison with the diaphragm & other spinal stabilising muscles to provide “core” stability. Back pain, poor posture, surgery or pregnancy can result in a loss of adequate control of these muscles.

REFERRALS: A specialist or GP referral is required Inpatient and Outpatient Referrals can be sent to: St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital 255-265 Cranbourne Road, Frankston 3199 Fax: (03) 9788 3304

RTUS can be used as a training tool to help recruit & provide the correct action of these muscles. Being able to see the muscles as they work leads to a better understanding of their function & how to activate them –

pioneer. On the evening, 21st January Mr James Crosskell, one of the last of the early pioneers, passed away aged 84 years. He was born on Rhode Island, USA, and came to Australia after hearing of the gold rush. After working for some years for Wren Bros, he bought their business, and took in with him his brother-in-law (the late Mr H. R Prosser) and the late Mr T. Ritchie; later on Mr J. D. Box and the late Mr P. Renouf joined the firm. The Company was known as the Frankston Fish Co. (Crosskell, Ritchie and Co.) Mr Crosskell still visited the different fishing places, and ran the fish up to Melbourne, while his partners attended to the sale. Their place of business was in the old market which stood on the site of the present Flinders Street station. As trade grew the boat had to be relinquished; and fish carts were used. Most of the old residents of Frankston will remember the fish carts and their three horses, and later, the wagons that ran through from Hastings to Melbourne in time for the 5 a.m. market. These vehicles were driven by the partners themselves, who at that period led a very strenuous life. The members took a keen interest in Frankston itself. They started the first bakery and butchery in the township; they were among the original shareholders of the “Mornington Standard” Newspaper Co., and they held large interests in a brick works that flourished near the landslip in the boom time. After the boom the firm was dissolved, and

Mr Crosskell returned to the sea, and even visited Western Australia. He remained at this for some years, but his health failed, and he retired, living quietly until his death. He was twice married, and left issue by both marriages.

He joined the Frankston I.O.R. in 1871, and at the time of his death was the oldest Rechabite on the Mornington Peninsula. For many years the meetings of the local Tent were held in his house, and at different periods he held most of the offices in the Order. He joined the Frankston Methodist Church in 1869, and continued a member till his death. He was also the oldest trustee of the church. Although Mr Crosskell made no boast of his religious beliefs, he lived a life consistent with his profession.

He was a good neighbor, generous, I helpful and kind. No one ever appealed to him in vain. He was a man of great determination, and when he made up his mind no power on earth could make him change it.

His last hours were quiet and peaceful, and he gradually slipped his earthly cable and trimmed his sails to the breezes of the unseen world. He was almost the last- if not the last -of the sturdy pioneers, and Frankston is the poorer through his death. He left behind him an unsullied name, and his descendents can ever regard with pride and affection the memory of their sturdy and upright ancestor. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 February, 1916

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

True tales of a ‘tin eater’

By Stuart McCullough SECRETLY, I am ashamed. I watch others eat their meals with knives and forks, and feel something of a pang, wishing that I, too, could accept the conventional approach to eating a meal. But it’s too late for me. Years of training mean that I must take the road less travelled and consume my meals, not at the table with a fistful of cutlery, but in the pantry and directly from the jar. For I choose to consume my ingredients not in combination but one at a time. For I am a tin eater, plain and simple.

The life of a tin eater is one filled with subterfuge and stealth. Having two brothers and two sisters meant there was very little I could do that escaped detection. For some reason, siblings feel oddly compelled to announce everything you do at a volume somewhere just below “air raid siren” and a pitch slightly beneath dog whistle. You could be forgiven for thinking in such a harsh environment that I’d be unable to get away with anything, but that would be to underestimate the inexhaustible nature of human ingenuity.

We’d be sitting together in the lounge room, all five us, watching a movie. Without so much as a word, I’d attempt to slip out of my chair. I say “attempt” as the seat in question was not the conventional four-legged variety but a beanbag. It’s a scientific fact that getting out of a beanbag is akin to attempting to break a bear hug executed by an actual bear. You can no more slip out of a beanbag

PAGE 12

than you can throw a tennis ball and land it on the moon. Getting out of the upholstered, velour quicksand required you to roll over several times to the floor before pushing yourself to your feet.

At first, my brothers and sisters would say nothing. I would then make my way to the kitchen and begin a process I like to think of as “visual grazing”. This involved a full reconnaissance of the pantry.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 3 February 2016

For many families, the pantry is an expansive area that permits you to observe all the food your family has to offer. Ours, however, was something of an afterthought, squeezed into a space that was originally intended for a broom cupboard. The first challenge, however, was to open the door without alerting my siblings.

I am sure that we possessed oil.

Given that we had a shed that preserved everything including a used

plaster cast from when I broke my leg, there was bound to be a can of WD40 somewhere. And yet, for some reason, the hinges of our pantry were forever squeaky.

To open it was to unleash a sound that resembled a choir of mice after someone had poured a bucket of cold water on them. Perhaps that was exactly the point. No matter where our parents were, they could instantly tell when the pantry was being violated.

My father could be off in the back paddock and using a chainsaw, but would cease as the sound of a mouselike chorale drifted across the valley.

If it was impossible to put anything past someone in the back paddock, there was no hope of eluding those in the living room.

Using the kind of care normally associated with detonating an explosive, I would begin to prise open the pantry. No matter how careful I was, it would never fail to emit a tortured squeal. At the very first note, there would be a challenge from my brothers and sisters. The words “what are you doing?” rang out like a demand to stand and deliver. In truth, they knew full well what I was up to. The only thing more ridiculous than the question was my standard response of “nothing” when, in fact, nothing couldn’t be further from the truth.

When faced with all manner of foodstuffs, most people would be tempted to create some kind of snack or meal. I, on the other hand, thought this would simply delay the inevitable. Rather than mess around with the

black magic that is actual cooking, I preferred to jemmy the lid off various containers and eat directly from the tin. The trick was to complete stuffing my mouth before curiousity got the better of one of my brothers or sisters who, having failed to be satisfied by my earlier response of “nothing”, would decide to come to the kitchen to personally investigate.

Milo was a particular favourite.

Truth be told, I ate more of it from the tin than I ever did as a drink. Sometimes our parents would mess with the formula and purchased drinking chocolate instead. Although the drinking chocolate was exquisitely tasty, the power was much finer and meant that if you were to breathe in at the wrong time, your throat would convulse, causing you to choke and a small cloud of chocolate drinking powder to burst over your lips like an eruption from a long-dormant volcano.

Truth be told, some of the finest meals I ever ate were consumed behind the pantry door. It’s something I’ve since given up. Whether that’s because I grew out of it or because our current pantry doesn’t have a door, and is all the less thrilling as a result, I truly couldn’t say.

Whenever I go to a restaurant, I am often left to lament that the meals arrive fully prepared and guests are denied the elicit joy that comes from sampling the ingredients individually while the chef is in the back paddock. www.stuartmccullough.com

Intensity lifting in Provincial PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully WITH just three rounds remaining in MPCA Provincial cricket before finals, the intensity of round nine has seen some serious game changers after the first day’s play.

There is still a mad scramble for a place in the top four with at least seven teams vying for third and fourth.

At this stage, despite two more rounds to follow round nine, it seems top of the table Peninsula Old Boys and second-placed Crib Point have done enough to play finals.

With seven teams staking claims for third and fourth place, every run and every wicket is critical.

It also means that there is no easy ride to get into the finals.

Only Sorrento get an easy game on the way home, playing Rye in the final round. However, they have drawn the short straw because they only get them in a one-day match, which makes life really difficult to achieve an outright win for maximum points.

Sorrento were in all sorts of trouble after they batted against Pines on Saturday, making just 116.

Other than Bobby Wilson with 38, the Sorras struggled. Craig Entwhistle was superb for the Piners with 5/41 and Pat Jackson claimed 3/27.

However, the crafty Anthony Blackwell turned the tables on the visitors and had them on 4/39 at stumps. Blackwell himself had 4/16.

It seems there’s plenty more cricket in this one.

Mornington didn’t fare much better than the Sorras, bowled out for 107 against Crib Point.

Glenn Barclay was at his very best yet again for the Pies with 5/40, while Matty Blake chimed in with 3/22 from his 12 overs.

The visitors are 0/11 in reply.

Somerville is in the box seat against Moorooduc.

The Eagles won the toss on Saturday and sent the visitors into bat.

Ben Williams top scored for the Ducs with 29 while Mathew Lonsdale got his opportunity in the First IX and succeeded with 21. Michael Whincup made a cameo at the end with 21, to get the Ducs to 133.

Matty Roach was superb with the pill once again for the Eagles, snaring 5/23 from 18 overs, while Jack

Kennedy claimed 2/35.

In reply, Somerville is cruising after five overs at 0/25.

Langwarrin has given Peninsula Old Boys some work to do, setting them 267 for victory.

The Kangas batted the best it has all season, thanks largely to new kid on the block, Joel Bateman, who is in scintillating form. He scored his highest First IX score on Saturday of 74, while cousin and assistant coach Jake Prosser scored 61 and the evergreen Simon McEvoy opened with 40.

Jonny Forest was the pick of the Old Boys’ bowlers with 5/85.

Baxter and Long Island have had many great battles over the journey and this round is no different.

Baxter batted first on Saturday.

Thanks largely to Chris Brittain, with a superb 122, they were able to score 217. Joe Rule also opened with 34.

Greg Lamb wound back the clock and picked up 4/31 from 14 overs.

Daniel Warwick (11) Ben Matters (duck) and Ben Brittain (duck) were all run out.

Mount Eliza will be looking for an outright win against Rye after scoring 9/249 on Saturday.

Despite the fact they have no chance of playing finals, the Mounties would no doubt like to finish higher than second last.

Justin Grant scored 88 for the Mounties on Saturday while Keith Briggs hit 73.

Rye 16-year-old Billy Swayne was the best of the bowlers with 4/25 from four overs.

Top of the table clash in balance DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE match we have all been waiting to see in District cricket, top of the ladder Red Hill versus second placed Baden Powell, is shaping-up to be a nail biter.

In what many believe is the preview to the District grand final, both teams head into the final day of the match with genuine claims that they are in the box seat.

For mine, Red Hill is the side with the runs on the board, albeit 200, and must be fancied from here.

On Saturday at Overport Rd, the Hillmen won the toss and batted first.

Simon Dart top scored with 55 and Brent Martin was solid again with 33 in the middle order. The real bonus for the Hillmen was the unbeaten 40 runs from experienced keeper Nick Esipoff, helping the visitors to 9/200 from their 80 overs.

Ryan Barnett (3/60 from 24 overs) and Michael Ballard (3/39 from 17 overs) were the best of the Braves’ bowlers, while Rhys Elmi helped himself to 2/56 from 18 overs.

Sixth-placed Heatherhill is locked in an enthralling battle with thirdplaced Pearcedale.

With just 12 points (one game) separating the sides on the ladder, the Hills will go into the second day of the match with their noses in front.

Pearcedale batted first on Saturday and were dismissed for 151. Chris Dew top scored with an unbeaten 64, while the returning Shane Maggs was next best with 18.

Jake Theobald continued his stellar season with 4/14 from 8.4 overs for Heatherhill.

The Hills batted the final 27 overs of the day and will resume on day two at 2/74, with teenager Tyler Neal on 37* and Theobald yet to score.

Carrum will be looking to end Delacombe Park’s season as they defend 9/265.

Whilst the Lions are no chance to play finals, the Parkers still have a slight sniff, just one game outside the top four.

Hayden Moulton top scored for the Lions with 56, while Josh Dent scored 35 and Jake D’Atri 33. A number of other batsmen got starts for the visitors also.

PAGE 14

Dean Blight was the pick of the Parkers’ bowlers with 4/60.

Main Ridge and Seaford Tigers are in a battle for pride more than anything else. Neither side can play finals.

The Ridge made 208 on Saturday with Travis Barker top scoring with 54 and Ed Aarons hitting 32. Gareth Wyatt also scored 30.

The Tigers’ 17-year-old Max Watters was outstanding, opening the bowling for his side with Matty Meagher and snagging 5/56 from 19.2 overs.

In reply, the Tigers are 1/17.

Mt Martha has set Flinders a monster total of 321 to chase down in their match. The Sharks are currently in fourth place on the ladder with a number of teams breathing down their neck.

Mitchel Darville scored his second century this season (the first was against Boneo in round four), opening the innings with 122. Tim Moran hit 52 and Matt Pollock contributed his second highest score of the year of 45.

Tom Clements and Shane Beggs each claimed three wickets for the Sharks.

In reply, Flinders is 0/16, surviving the final five overs of the day.

Charging up: Red Hill slogged a respectable 200 in a likely preview of the District grand final. Picture: Rab Siddhi

Hot battles in Sub-District SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully THERE are three tremendous battles going on in MPCA Sub-District cricket in round nine and all eyes will be on their results at 6pm this Saturday.

Sixth-placed Frankston YCW is playing host to fifth-placed Tootgarook, third-placed Rosebud is hosting fourth-placed Carrum Downs and Balnarring and Ballam Park are hoping to keep their slim finals hopes alive as they do battle.

The Knights and the Saints are currently a game and a half outside of the top four and a loss in round nine would end their season.

As it stands, Balnarring needs a miracle on day two to have any chance of winning.

Ballam Park batted first on Saturday and made 249, thanks largely to 98 from Zac Clements and 40 from Callum Savio.

The Knights were in some strife at 4/68 before Clements and Savio were joined together at the crease.

Tyler Wilton was the best of the Saints’ bowlers with 3/47.

In reply, the visitors crumbled to 4/38 at stumps. Clements has 3/15 from seven overs.

Forced feeding: The Braves turned to spin as they tried to sneak the pill past Red Hill’s batsmen.

Carrum Downs has set Rosebud 190 for victory in their clash at Olympic Park.

The Cougars won the toss and batted first with keeper Leon McConnell opening the batting and top scoring with 46. Ryan Lynch scored 32 and Nathan Phillips hit 26.

Billy Quigley was the best of the Rosebud bowlers with 4/36 from 19 overs while Pat Nagel snared 3/34 from 20 overs with the new ball.

Brian Doughty chimed in with 3/43.

The Buds are 0/2 in reply.

Frankston YCW would have been pretty happy after bowling Tootgarook out for 143 in 71 overs. Lai Leaunoa was on fire with 4/52, while Andrew Kuitson was still at it with 3/20 from 18 overs.

Scott Sterling top scored for the Frogs with 21.

However, the YCW batsmen couldn’t replicate the good work of the bowlers and at stumps, were in real strife at 3/5.

With no Jason Bedford in this game, the Stonecats appear to be up against it.

Matty Whelan has all three wickets and finished with figures of 3/4.

Dromana all-rounder Aaron Kaddatz appears to be on the verge of winning a game singlehandedly yet again, having top scored with 77 in his team’s match against Tyabb and snaring 2/13 from eight overs.

The Hoppers scored 211 in 60 overs on Saturday with Mark Whitehead scoring 34.

Tyabb is 3/36 in reply.

Hastings will be looking to shore up second place on day two of its match against Skye.

The Blues made 217 with Luke Hewitt top scoring with an unbeaten 56 and little brother Jake hitting 37. Timmy Birch also scored 34.

In reply, Skye is 1/9.
