Kingston crime down Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au CRIME in Kingston has fallen 2.9 per cent over the past 12 months, defying a 3.7 per cent increase for Victoria as a whole. Victoria Police statistics released last week for the 2013-14 year to 30

June reveal robberies, assaults and thefts from vehicles are all down compared to the preceeding 12 months. Kingston local area commander Inspector Bruce Wemyss credited the downturn in crime to “intelligence processes and targeted detection techniques”. Robberies fell 20.9 per cent, to 48 reported offences in 2013-14 com-

pared to 60 in 2012-13 and assaults dropped 5.5 per cent to 891 in 201314, down from 932 in the preceding 12 months. Percentage changes are calculated as a rate per 100,000 people to give a uniform snapshot of crime across all regions. Inspector Wemyss welcomed the crime rate fall but said more work

could be done to improve community safety further. “The crime position in Kingston is a very good one,” he said. “However, by working together we can make this area even safer and a great place to live and work.” Despite the positive trend in Kingston, Inspector Wemyss noted residential burglaries and theft from cars

had “become more prominent”. “We have allocated specific teams of investigators to target this offending,” he said. A plainclothes undercover team has been established to respond to overnight and early morning crimes in bayside suburbs in a bid to catch burglars and car thieves. Continued Page 8

Artist’s materials have a history of their own Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au AN artist whose works demonstrate a natural affinity with recycled materials is on display at the Kingston Arts Centre, Moorabbin until Tuesday 16 September. Michael Jenkins has created a unique series of assembled pieces from road signs, bathing box timbers, World War II artillery boxes and building materials from bygone eras for his first solo show, The New Existence. Graduating from Ballarat College in 1976, he began a carpentry apprenticeship which he completed in 1981. Working on residential, office and commercial buildings fostered a keen interest in design. In 1994, Jenkins and his family moved to Black Rock, bought an old shop and pioneered the innovative ‘shop top’ developments in the area. During this phase, he explored the notion of making transportable artforms. Jenkins’ utilises the beauty and artistic potential of recycled timbers, signs and discarded building materials. He thrills to their patina, hue, possibilities, and the history of “what lies beneath”. His builder’s skill ensures every piece is superbly crafted and finished, ready to capture the light and become a true conversation piece. His vision is that “the people who see my work enjoy my personal interpretations, and I hope to encourage artists, in all mediums, to continue on the path to create”. “This exhibition is all about my intimate creative visual perception,” he said. “The signage pieces remind me of the songs from the 70s.” For example, taking the lyrics of a

his ambitions. A keen surfer, much of Jenkins’ work echoes his strong affinity with the sea, a theme which, today, has led to many of his commissioned works taking pride of place in private collections in contemporary homes on the Mornington Peninsula. From his subjects and colours, to their textures and materials, they all represent aspects of the modern world and that of the past. The Beaumaris Art Group has given

popular song: ‘The sign says you have to have a membership card to get inside’, he says: “By cutting the sign, I challenge that notion. I am excited by the prospect of presenting my work to the public and their response. This exhibition explores the vulnerability of putting my creative zone on show.” From unit, home, commercial and shop top projects, to gallery and cafe designs, Jenkins’ artistic ambitions have always been at the forefront of

expression to his eye for design and detail and maintains that his art is substantially unique. The palette of Jenkins vision aims to capture the imagination and fire the spirit. His passionate, visual journey sets out to provoke thought beyond the boundaries of conventional art. n The New Existence exhibition is at Kingston Arts Centre, 979 Nepean Hwy, Moorabbin until Tuesday 16 September. Admission is free.

Mentone beach will apply to the “sand only” section of the foreshore. Kingston Council CEO John Nevins said the trial area would add to existing all-day off leash areas although none were on beaches. “Kingston has many designated dog exercise areas and off leash areas, as well as four sites with excellent dog exercise equipment in Chelsea, Mordialloc, Cheltenham and Clayton South,” Mr Nevins said. Signs to notify beachgoers about the off leash stretch will be installed. Council officers will reassess the situation and report back to council after the 12-month trial.

KINGSTON Council’s annual hard waste collection will run for five weeks from Monday 15 September to Friday 17 October. Residents should check which materials can be collected before putting anything out in front of their property. If any items are reusable, residents may want to consider donating them to an op shop or charity. All materials must be placed out by 6am on the date indicated on the household notice and be maintained in separate piles on nature strips until collected. It is illegal to dump rubbish at all other times and in public places. Where possible hard waste items are recycled, reducing the amount of waste going to landfill. Council collected 3361 tonnes of hard waste last year, including 6015 mattresses. Almost 17 per cent of material collected was recycled, including ewaste and all metals. Garden waste cannot be left out for the hard waste collection service, however council has a free on-call tree pruning collection service available to residents year-round. To book a collection, call council on 1300 653 356. Bookings for each week close at 4.30pm on Mondays. Visit www.kingston.vic.gov.au/ hardwaste or call 1300 653 356 to check which household items can be left out for hard waste collection.

COUNCILLORS decided to be dogs’ best friends by voting to bring in a 24-hour off leash area along Mentone beach as part of a trial which could be extended to other parts of Kingston. Introducing the all day and all night off leash zone was backed unanimously by councillors at last month’s council meeting. Cr Geoff Gledhill said the topic of dogs on beaches had “created a good deal of discussion over the years and some real passion”. Neighbouring municipalities provide

ance… dog owners should be sensitive to the needs of other people,” she said. The 12-month trial is the first time Kingston dog owners will have all-day, all year-round access to beaches. Council regulations governing dogs on beaches remain unchanged outside the Mentone trial area. n Dogs are allowed to be off leash in the Mentone foreshore from 1 April to 31 October n From 1 November to 31 March, dogs can be off leash from 7.30pm-10am n From 1 November to 31 March, dogs are not allowed on the beach from 10am-7.30pm The 24-hour off leash trial area at

all-day off leash areas along bayside foreshores and he believed it was time Kingston Council did likewise. He acknowledged there was some concern but this was outweighed by “strong community demand” for controlled off leash areas. The Charman Rd “pocket” was an appropriate place to hold the trial given Kingston had over 13 kilometres of foreshore, according to Cr Gledhill. Cr Rosemary West acknowledged some people may not be comfortable with dogs being off leash on beaches but she hoped dog owners would be responsible while walking their pets. “I do think it’s important to have bal-

Challenge accepted LABOR candidate for Mordialloc Tim Richardson passed on the ice bucket challenge to the St Bedes/Mentone Tigers AFC team last week and the club took to the task with gusto. There were no half measures as the players poured 50 buckets of iced water supplied by Bunnings Mentone over themselves (above) at training at Mentone Recreation Reserve. It was a chilly evening even before the buckets were tipped. Longbeach RSL general manager Leigh Proud also copped a bucketing from RSL staff in aid of motor neurone disease research.

In the case of theft from cars, he said it was vital drivers locked their vehicles and removed valuables, with the majority of thefts occurring at night from unlocked vehicles parked in driveways and streets. Over the 12 months from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014, the number of thefts from cars in Kingston jumped to 1194 from 1026 the previous year. In the case of residential burglaries, Kingston recorded a rate of 391.6 break-ins per 100,000 residents, from 320 the previous year. Surprisingly, residential burglaries declined almost 25 per cent in neighbouring Frankston, from 575.3 break-ins during 2012-13 to just 432 last year. The rate of drug offences detected in Kingston rose from 331 in 2012-13 to 367 last year (10.8 per cent), while Frankston recorded a 25 per cent spike (from 628 to 787 offences), compared to an average state-wide rise of 6.5 per cent.

THE ice epidemic is fuelling a wave of residential burglaries and thefts from motor vehicles, Kingston police warn. While Kingston’s overall crime rate fell 2.9 per cent for the year ended 30 June 2014 compared to the previous 12 months, the number of homes robbed surged 23.8 per cent. The rise was in stark contrast to a 3.1 per cent fall for Victoria as a whole. Over the same period, thefts from motor vehicles jumped 16.4 per cent, the latest annual crime statistics released last week by Victoria Police reveal. Tellingly, one of the only other categories of crime to rise in Kingston over the year was drug offences, which increased 12.1 per cent in raw terms, or 10.8 per cent as a rate per 100,000 residents. Senior police say there is a clear link between the three crime categories, with break-ins and thefts often driven by drug addiction. Kingston police commander Inspector Bruce Wemyss the increase in the number of drug offences detected had come as “no surprise”. “In addition, two crime categories have become more prominent – residential burglary and theft from vehicles,” Inspector Wemyss said. In response, a new police tasking unit targeting Kingston’s highest volume crimes recently established in Chelsea is placing a firm focus on burglaries and theft from vehicles. “We have allocated specific teams of investigators to target this offending,” Inspector Wemyss said. “This has been supported by plain clothes teams from our tasking unit. Dynamic and flexible tasking and monitoring activities of recidivist offenders also form part of our response plan.” Sergeant Adam Patterson from the Kingston tasking unit said police were focusing their efforts on providing a high-visibility presence to deter offending while also raising public awareness of preventative steps the community could take to

Elmo drives safety message home ELMO and Maria from Sesame Street are starring in an innovative road safety campaign launched in Aspendale by assistant state treasurer, Gordon Rich-Phillips, and Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford. It is as part of a state government initiative to build a safer Victoria. As the second instalment of the Elmo Stays Safe campaign, which was launched last year, it focuses on the dangers of children playing around driveways. “It is vital that children are taught about road safety from a young age, especially how to play safely around driveways,” Mr Rich-Phillips said. A new interactive ‘app’ featuring Elmo and Maria is part of the campaign which aims to raise awareness of the dangers posed by vehicles in driveways, car parks and on roads. It was developed by Kidsafe Victoria in collaboration with Sesame Workshop (the not-for-profit educational organisation behind Sesame Street) and is supported by the TAC and RACV. Ms Wreford said it was important that parents and caregivers educate children to think of driveways as being like roads - rather than play areas. “From a young age, children can learn about safety around home, in their community and around roads. This, ultimately, helps them make good choices as they move towards becoming drivers themselves one day. “This partnership and campaign encourages drivers to look out for and protect our youngest and most vulnerable road users.” Kidsafe Victoria president Erica Edmands said children were unpredictable, inquisitive and surprisingly quick and mobile. “It is important as adults that we always ‘supervise, separate and see’, to help keep children safe in areas such as driveways,” she said. Safety messages have been included into an activitybased tablet/smartphone app, a 30-second radio community service announcement and an A4 storybook. The Elmo Stays Safe campaign is contributing to the international effort to reduce child injury and death as part of the UN Global Decade of Action for Road Safety. “This latest initiative is another way that the [state government] is putting children’s safety first,” Mr Rich-

Phillips said. “It follows recent announcements that those who leave children unattended in cars will face double the existing jail time and significantly increased fines.” Further details of the Elmo Stays Safe campaign can be found at www.kidsafevic.com.au/sesame

THE vexed problem of the first stage of Kingston’s Bay Trail has wound its way back to council. Councillors have been split on how best to construct Kingston’s portion of the Bay Trail between Charman Rd and Mentone Life Saving Club. Eight years of council debate has failed to pave the way for work to begin on the shared bike and pedestrian pathway, which will run parallel with Beach Rd. The trail’s troubles have revolved around debate about removing native vegetation from the foreshore to build the one-kilometre section of the Bay Trail. Councillors clashed again over the removal of 0.151 hectares of native vegetation. Kingston Mayor, Cr Paul Peulich, was forced to use his mayoral casting vote to allow council to begin the process of granting a permit to remove the vegetation with councillors deadlocked at four-each last Monday, 25 August. A section of vegetation from the foreshore reserve between Sea Parade and the Mentone Lifesaving Club will be removed. Crs Tamsin Bearsley, Ron Brownlees, Geoff Gledhill and Paul Peulich backed the move while crs Tamara Barth, David Eden, Steve Staikos and Rosemary West opposed the decision. Cr John Ronke was absent from the meeting. The permit approval “should be the final hurdle in a protracted project”, according to Cr Gledhill.

Cr Brownlees said the construction of the Bay Trail would benefit “hundreds, if not thousands of people”. “It’s about providing a safe, secure, accessible, enjoyable shared pathway,” he said. Opponents of the plan to remove the vegetation said narrowing Beach Rd would have been a better option to build the Bay Trail. Cr Steve Staikos failed in a bid to use a gravel verge for the Bay Trail and relocate a number of parking spaces to the left-hand traffic lane. “I feel very strongly that too much vegetation is going to be lost with that particular alignment,” he said. Cr Rosemary West said councillors had disregarded a “back of kerb” proposal that would have saved much of the vegetation to be removed, despite VicRoads confirming they would have no objection to the narrowing of Beach Rd. “This is an unnecessary removal of vegetation,” she said. Cr Brownlees said vegetation removal is “always a sensitive issue” but reckoned cyclists safety along Beach Rd overrode the concerns of “a small group of people who don’t like it”. Vegetation will be planted elsewhere to “offset” the loss of tea-tree. “We believe this strikes a good balance between meeting the community’s expectations of completing the Bay Trail and improving biodiversity in the catchment area,” Cr Peulich said.

Carrum’s cracker of a rink THE setting of the Australian comedy film Crackerjack in 2002, the Carrum Bowling Club, has unveiled a new synthetic rink that’s sure to be a hit with members. Although only on screen for five minutes, the clubhouse and rinks were central to the movie whose main star – radio and TV performer Mick Molloy – grew up in Mt Eliza. Established in 1924 and opened by the then prime minister, Stanley Bruce, the Keast Park club has capitalised on its 90 year history by forging a strong association with the residents of Carrum and Seaford. The striking clubhouse design of 2011 catches the eyes of motorists driving along Beach Rd. The old building – dating from 1960 – was knocked down to make way for it. At Saturday’s opening of the new rink, Cr Glenn Aitken – whose Frankston City ward takes in Seaford – was honoured by a life membership after 15 years’ service to the club. About 60 guests enjoyed a bowls session and official opening of the new season, and then went upstairs for lunch. “Our club membership caters for all groups through many different types of programs regardless of age, gender or ability,” president Phil Kelly said. “The club is a vibrant and fun place to play bowls and socialise throughout the year. “In the summer members play competition pennant and friendly matches. In the winter we play indoor and outdoor bowls and socialise on many nights.” Barefoot bowls is also popular. Mr Kelly said the cost of maintaining and nurturing the previous grass rink in its unforgiving bayside environment was prohibitive. “The old grass needed refurbishing and it was going to cost us $80,000 to redo and $40,000 each year in upkeep – and, when it rained, it was unusable,” he said. In contrast, the synthetic rink cost $185,000 and $1500 a year in upkeep, meaning the beach-side club is financially ahead after three years. New lights will add to the time available for use. Mr Kelly said the movie was a positive for the club in that it attracted younger members to a sport usually associated with oldies. “I’m 46 and have been president for two years,” he said. Those interested in joining the club should call 9772 2347. Stephen Taylor

Kingston bucks trend on crime Continued from Page 1 Inspector Wemyss said road safety also remained a priority but he was pleased to see a 11.4 per cent fall in injuries from 508 to 455. Road toll figures are compiled from April-March each year. “Our most vulnerable road users are cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians,” he said. “Accordingly, these groups will continue to be a focus.” Assaults excluding family violence were down from 550 to 503, an 8.5 per cent drop. However, domestic violence incidents rose slightly from 382 to 388. Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay said the reporting of family violence to police had greatly increased in recent years. He said police responded to 65,000 reported incidents across Victoria in 2013-14 but said it was a positive that people felt they could report such cases and expect action to be taken. “It puts enormous pressure on our figures but I think it’s a very good thing,” he said. About 30,000 charges were laid as a result of the 65,000 reported family violence incidents, according to Mr Lay. He also noted an increase in the reporting of “historical sexual assault offences” and said this may be due to recent high-profile cases and recent public enquiries into sexual abuse. He said 40 per cent of sexual assaults reported in the past 12 months were of a historical nature. “I am pleased to say these victims are putting their trust in Victoria Police and bringing it to our notice,” he said. “We are investigating and charging people.” Crime is set to become a political battlefront in the leadup to November’s state election. Both the Coalition and Labor have pledged to “get tough” on dealers of the drug ice, with Labor vowing anyone caught supplying the drug to school students will face up to 20 years in jail. Drug offences continue to surge in Kingston, mirroring a trend across the state. There were 557 incidents involving an arrest in 2013-14, up from 497. Inspector Wemyss said it was “no surprise” to see a rise in the number of drugs offences.

Disaster averted: CFA units from Patterson River, Frankston and Carrum were able to contain a blaze at St Joseph’s School in Chelsea on Saturday night to a single second-storey classroom. Picture: Rudy Chitty

Fire strikes Chelsea school THE quick response of CFA crews saved a Chelsea school from devastation last Saturday night after fire broke out in a two-storey classroom block. A Patterson River fire crew was on site within minutes of receiving word fire had broken out at St Joseph’s School in Station St just after 10pm, while crews from Frankston and Carrum arrived soon after. CFA fire fighters were able to contain the blaze to a single classroom, which was extensively damaged, while three further class rooms suffered water damage. Principal Gavan O’Donnell said the entire building, containing eight classrooms and the school library, could easily have been lost had fire fighters not acted so quickly. “We were very lucky – another ten minutes and the whole building would have been up in flames, so the fire fighters have done a great job,” Mr O’Donnell said.

“One classroom on the top floor has been gutted and there’s some water damage to the adjoining classrooms and another class room on the floor below, which is obviously very upsetting to the students and staff, but it could have been a lot worse. “The whole school community has pulled together to help with the clean-up and assisting any way they can, which has been very heartening.” Mr O’Donnell said the greatest impact had been felt by the students who had lost a large amount of their school work and personal items, including treasured baptismal gowns. “Two of the students have lost baptismal gowns, which were family heirlooms passed down by parents and grandparents, so that has been particularly tough of them,” he said. The cause of the blaze is being investigated, however it is believed an electrical fault was to blame. Chris Brennan

Councillors speak up for Frankston Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council’s campaign to push for more funding for the city from the incoming state government – no matter who wins November’s election – kicked off last week to “a good response”, according to the mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor. Councillors began the Speak Up For Frankston campaign on the steps of state parliament last Monday morning, addressing a Melbourne media pack to highlight Frankston’s case for $67 million in state funding for five vital infrastructure projects. Cr Taylor said council would be sending “a very strong message” to both major political parties in the lead-up to the election that Frankston deserved more support from Spring Street. “Councillors will be out and about encouraging everyone to get involved in this election to put pressure on local candidates and parties,” he said. “This is a critical time for Frankston… if we don’t get what we need now, we may never get it.” The Speak Up For Frankston campaign is non-partisan, but Cr Taylor urged voters to think carefully about who they voted for in November. “Secure their (the candidates’) commitment before you give your commitment,” he said. Councillors want election candidates to commit to giving $12m towards a new waste transfer station, $9m for a “health and human services hub”, $3m to develop business cases to

redevelop the transport interchange and electrification of the Stony Point railway line to Baxter, $4.5m for “foreshore completion” and $38.5m for sport and recreation including an upgrade of regional basketball facilities. Independent sitting MP Geoff Shaw, who won the seat of Frankston as a Liberal Party candidate at the 2010 state election, issued a statement last Friday backing Frankston Council’s push for $67m in state funding. Mr Shaw slammed his former party’s pet project, the $8 billion East-West Link, as having “little benefit” for regional areas including Frankston, and said it should be scrapped in favour of

spreading the investment throughout Victoria. “$8 billion shared across the 88 electorates of Victoria would result in over $90 million for each district,” he said. “This significant injection of funds has the potential to greatly benefit every community throughout Victoria, instead of a multi-billion dollar spend on 8 kilometres of road.” He said he had spoken to Frankston Council about their “sizeable proposals for our community” costing $67m. “This amount is less than our reasonable share of the funds, that are touted to be poured into the East-West Link, and would more than cover these pro-

jects and continue the transformation of Frankston.” Carrum Liberal MP Donna Bauer, also backed council’s Speak Up For Frankston campaign, but tempered her support by noting the state government had “invested around $744m to projects that will directly, or indirectly, benefit Frankston City residents” since 2010. Ms Bauer cited the $80.9m Frankston Hospital upgrade, $115m Bayside Rail Project and $12.5m towards the Peninsula Aquatic and Recreation Centre as major investments in Frankston. “Frankston is a great city and it is appropriate that councillors lobby for what they want,” Ms Bauer said.

“However, as the Member for Carrum, I take exception to the inference that little has been done for Frankston.” She said the state government had invested more than $23m in projects in her electorate, including more than $17m in the City of Frankston itself. The relocation of Carrum Downs CFA from its “antiquated headquarters” in Frankston-Dandenong Rd to new premises at Carrum Downs Reserve was a project Ms Bauer believed should be given funding priority. “The CFA and the state government has been negotiating for some time with the council to secure this site in a land swap agreement and I am hoping that a fair decision will soon be made for the benefit of the volunteers who give so much of their time in the service of others,” she said. Cr Taylor said there had been “no official contact” with the Coalition government or Labor opposition as yet about council’s demand for $67m to fund the five earmarked Frankston projects. Labor opposition leader Daniel Andrews spoke to councillors on the steps of Parliament House but the meeting was coincidental, according to a spokesman for Mr Andrews. “Daniel Andrews and Labor’s candidate for Frankston Paul Edbrooke have been working with the local community including council discussing their priorities for Frankston,” the spokesman said. The News understands Mr Edbrooke and Liberal candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead will be fully briefed on the Speak Up For Frankston campaign and its aims at meetings with council this week.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

A send-off for troops being organised Compiled by Cameron McCullough WE are pleased to report that Mr V. S. Beall is able to get about again, after his recent illness. *** ST. Paul’s Club have shown ability and earnest and painstaking effort in preparing the three act comedy “Who’s who.” See our advertising columns. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual monthly market at Somerville, on Wednesday next; when they offer horses, cattle, sheep etc. *** LIET. Co. H. M. Grimwade and Captain Guy Madden are to be asked to make presentations to the Frankston members of the Expeditionary Forces at the patriotic concert on Tuesday next. *** ON Sunday last the Frankston Brass Band played a fine selection of music on the reserve near the Frankston Pier in aid of the Frankston Patriotic Fund. The sum of £5 5s 6d was collected. *** THE members of the Kooyong Club intend arranging a patriotic concert at the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston. They hope to be able to hand over a substantial amount to the fund. *** THE monthly meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Horticultural and Agricultural Association will be held on Monday, 7th September. Business: Harcourt conference, postal delivery for Somerville, and report re skating.

*** A LARGE attendance is expected at the Patriotic concert on Tuesday night, to give “Our Boys” an enthusiastic send off and God speed. The Frankston Brass Band will help to enliven the proceedings with popular and patriotic airs, next Tuesday night. *** AN advertisement in another column draws attention to the cancellation of the Choral Society’s practice owing to the Federal elections and other matters. The secretary hopes a good muster will attend on September 7th, as the members are going to discuss the advisability of singing an operetta. *** AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, on Monday last, before Messrs Williams and Baxter, J’s.P., C. W. Campbell was charged by the police with driving his motor on the footpath on the 10th of August last. Mr Cooke appeared for the defendant. After hearing the evidence adduced the Bench decided to take a lenient view of the offence on account of the almost impracticable state of the roadway for traffic, and fined the defendant 10s without costs. Chas. Christie was charged with a similar offence on the same date, and was fined in a similar amount. *** Mr H. Garrood has specially designed a coloured souvenir in which he includes the allied flags displayed round a water colouring which is affected by a representation of dawn; the rays of sun penetrating the clouds and

dissolving the darkness of night, and throwing into prominence several battleships etc. One of which is playing its searchlight on the Earth’s globes which has been let into the centre of the design. The whole of the design is encircled by a rope terminating in a reef knot at the bottom, also clasped hands with a suitable motto (unita fortior). Suspended from the bottom of the design is a ribbon with the words Unity, Prosperity, Peace. The whole being surmounted by the British Coat of Arms. The above is entirely the work of Mr H. Garrood, everything being completed by hand and has been executed solely for the purpose of assisting the Patriotic Fund as well as a souvenir in commemoration of the Frankston volunteers, who depart from our shores to fight with the allied forces - Great Britain, France, Belgium and Russia in the great war against Germany. Photo copies of the same will be for sale at different prices, and the proceeds handed over to the Frankston Patriotic Fund. All those desirous of procuring copies can hail same in suitable sizes for posting away to their friends. The original design will be displayed during the week in Mr Hammdond’s window. *** FAREWELL to the Frankston Volunteers. A representative meeting of townsmen was held at Frankston on Monday last for the purpose of devising ways and means of showing our appreciation of those who have volun-

teered for service in the present war. The attendance was large and enthusiastic. Dr Maxwell was voted to the chair, and in his opening remarks explained that at the last meeting of the Patriotic Fund Movement it was resolved to call this present meeting to arrange for giving a send off to those who were leaving for the war. It was for this meeting to decide on what form the send off would take. Mr Young informed the meeting that he had written to his son, and asked him if he thought they could tell when it would be convenient for the whole of the men interested to get away for the purpose of attending the proposed send off, and a reply had been received that if this meeting decided on at date that the officer in command would let them off to attend if at all practicable. Mr Willox moved that Tuesday evening, the 8th September, be decided on as the date for the send off if that was suitable for the men getting off. Seconded by Mr Oates and carried. Mr C Watson stated that Mr H Garrood was preparing a memento which he wished to present to those who were leaving Frankston for the war, and also asked that he be given the authority of the Patriotic Committee to sell copies of same in the shape of post cards, the funds raised to go to the patriotic fund. Captain Sherlock moved and Mr Ritchie seconded, that Mr Garrood’s offer be accepted, and that he be thanked for his generous offer. Carried. Mr McComb stated that the local fire brigade had decided on giving

three of the men who were leaving, who were members of the brigade, wristlet watches. Mr Watson said that the billiard club had also decided to give its members who were leaving a smoker’s outfit, while the band was also going to give those who were members of the band small mementoes.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

The tragic tale of teeny tiny toast By Stuart McCullough IT’S one of my favourite things – toast. Better than sunshine and more reliable that good fortune, it’s fantastic in every way. From the moment I had teeth, there’s barely a day that’s gone by without me eating it. Toast truly is the best thing since sliced bread. It’s simple, versatile and life wouldn’t be the same without it. You can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and at all points of the compass in between. To be frank, it deserves to be celebrated. Toast should not be allowed to hover in the margins or, for that matter, the margarines. It is, simply put, the best thing ever. It’s said that man cannot live of bread alone, but no one in his or her right mind would ever say such a thing about toast. Yet, despite the important role it plays in all of our lives, when it comes to degustation, people tend to look down their noses at it. Personally, I long for a time when our major cooking competitions restore toast to the top of the culinary tree. Masterchef would be a whole lot more realistic if, instead of having to make a snow egg or build a croquembouche while wearing a blindfold and over-sized oven mitts, the contestants had to produce a quality piece of toast. It’s not nearly as easy as it sounds. That people celebrate grand occasions with a toast is no mere dent of coincidence. Granted, it’s more common these days for people to propose a toast with champagne rather than a piece of slightly warm multi-grain,

but it goes to show how much a part of our lives toast truly is. It would be a very splendid thing indeed if brides and grooms across the world would climb to their feet and have people hold aloft pieces of bread – whether white, wholemeal or even pumpernickel – as a way of showing their appreciation. But despite it’s general all-round awesomeness, people rarely talk about how toast was discovered.

Everyone’s heard story about the invention of the sandwich. According to legend, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich was gambling and didn’t want to stop for dinner so, instead, ordered two pieces of bread with a bit of meat in between. Actually, Lord of Sandwich’s full name was John Montagu so, had history gone a different way, we could all be ordering a ‘John’ at lunchtime. In contrast, not many

people know of the origins of toast. Compared to the sandwich, the invention of toast is pretty much a mystery. Or it was, at least, until now. Sir Toastalot was a rival of Lord Sandwich after the two had a bitter falling out over which member of the Bay City Rollers was more talented. (Nobby for the Earl, whereas Sir Toastalot preferred Woody.) As their estrangement grew, Sir Toastalot – or, as he was known to his friends, Dennis – made no secret of the fact he considered the antics of the Earl of Sandwich to be nothing short of heresy. As it happens, Dennis was at the very same gambling table as the Earl on that fateful night. When he saw a perfectly decent piece of meat being bookended by a couple of slices of bread, he considered it a culinary crime and attempted to burn the evidence. Thus inadvertently inventing toast. In the years that followed it caused him no end of anguish to see his rival get all the glory. Not that he didn’t have his fervent admirers – when he eventually passed away, Dennis was stuffed and mounted in the cribbage room of the Natural History Museum in London where he remains to this day. While on a trip through rural Victoria I stayed in a motel that, depending on your point of view, was either ‘rustic’ or ‘unclean’. When checking in, a man with a spectacular toupee asked me to make a selection from the breakfast menu. It was the type of menu that features food you’d probably eat at home, but with a substan-

tially higher price tag. Being in the country, I was sure I’d be in for something special even as evidence began to mount to the contrary. I assured myself that just because the heating didn’t work and the bathroom décor seemed to have drawn its inspiration less from Home Beautiful magazine and more from H Division was no reason to assume that breakfast would be anything other than glorious. It got down to minus one degree overnight. It was even colder once I stepped outside my room. After going for a run and starting a small fire next to the mini fridge to get warm, there was a confident knock on the door. On the doorstep sat my long-await bounty but – alas – my toast was nowhere to be found. After getting my glasses, I found it in a small paper sleeve. It was a miniature envelope more suited to a large after dinner mint than two pieces of toast. They were tiny. It was though Emmanuel Lewis worked in the motel kitchen. There was no other way to describe it – this was Webster toast. Were Dennis actually buried and not hanging from a wall in a museum, he would surely have turned in his grave. Putting them on the plate only made it worse – it looked like two distant specks in a blizzard. Despite such a bad experience, I haven’t let me put me off. In fact, only this morning I had toast. We all have different ideas about what’s reasonable and it’s nice to be reminded. I’ll toast to that. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Sorrento comes from nowhere NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SORRENTO staged one of the biggest fightbacks in memory on Saturday when it came from five goals down at half time to beat Dromana by three points in the Nepean League Qualifying Final. At half time, Dromana was in total control of the contest and it appeared as though things were going to be a formality in the second half. The Tigers had completely dominated the match with 22 scoring shots to 12 in the first hour, yet Sorrento was still close enough on the scoreboard to make it a contest. In the second half, Sorrento kicked eight goals to just three, including five to two in the final quarter to grab an unlikely win. We shouldn’t underestimate Sorrento’s victory – it was mighty. In the previous week’s match, Sorrento was completely humiliated by Rye. Dromana on the other hand gave Red Hill a football lesson and went into the match raging favourites. Sorrento coach Troy Schwarze admitted himself after that match that his side didn’t have a winner on the day. He sold himself and Daniel Grant

short though, given they were winners against the Demons. Schwarze was confident though that his side would bounce back when the real stuff began. It certainly didn’t look like that in the first half – they just couldn’t get into the contest. Ash Waterstone was using his sizable physique to ruffle a few Sorrento feathers, Steven Gaertner (four goals), Jae Williams and Billy Quigley (three goals) looked mighty dangerous in attack, Jay Neratzoglou and Christian Ongarello seemed to be in control down back and the likes of Terry Wheeler, Vetan Rexha, Cam Park, Dan Gormley and Kieran Voelkl were causing all sorts of mayhem through the middle of the ground. The lesser lights including Jack Fowler and Brad Grove were also playing significant roles for the Tigers. It wasn’t a case of Sorrento not playing good footy like the week before, they just couldn’t get their hands on the footy. Oh how things changed at half time. Full credit to Troy Schwarze on managing his team superbly. Going into the clash, everyone shared the same opinion that Myles Pitt and Ben Schwarze could not be in

the same forward line together. They were early, although Ben played much higher. However, in the second half, Ben Schwarze was moved to half back, a role he made his own. He was named his side’s best player and although he probably wasn’t, the role he played was significant in turning the fortunes of his side around. He attacked the footy like his life depended on it and constantly drove his team forward. His brother and coach Troy played another four great quarters of footy and really led from the front when they needed the spark. I take my hat off to Myles Pitt. He was sensational and in the end; match winning. His selection in the team was widely criticised. After all, he missed the large majority of the season. However, he justified the faith of his coach on Saturday, finishing with six goals, four of them coming in the last quarter. Guy Stringer might be 40 years old and nearing 400 games, but he saved three goals in the last 30 minutes of the match. He marked two on the line and punched one through on the line with just a minute left on the clock. A goal would have handed back the lead and probably victory to Dromana.

Daniel Grant was the best player on the ground. He was the one that kept the Sharks in the contest in the first half and didn’t back off when the side got going in the second half. Zac Byrns got busy and finished with three goals and whilst he was quieter than normal, Leigh Poholke popped up for three also. Teenager James Brigden offered some run and spark and Matt Dobrowolski used his pace and vision to his advantage. Dave Lawson had the tough job on Paul Minchington and completely shut the little star out of the game. It was an amazing comeback from the Sharks, who were still running on top of the ground to the very end. Surprisingly, Dromana looked unfit, slow and there were plenty of players cramping in the last quarter. That was a major concern. The final score was Sorrento 15.11 (101), Dromana 14.14 (98). The Sharks earned the right to play Crib Point in the second semi-final next weekend while Dromana will tackle Rye in the knockout first semifinal after the Demons got up in a thriller. In Sunday’s Elimination Final at Thomas Barclay Reserve at Hastings,

Rye hit the front with 90 seconds left on the clock to grab a two-point win over Red Hill. The Demons took control of the match in the second quarter, however inaccuracy in front of goal kept Red Hill in the hunt. In the end, the Demons deserved to win the game, 11.17 (83) to 12.9 (81). Andrew Dean was the match winner for the Demons with a mark and goal from point blank range (the goal square) at the 26-minute mark of the last quarter. He was almost the villain when he missed one from the same position just minutes earlier. Rhett Sutton, like he did in the just win game last week against Sorrento, led from the front with a best on ground performance. Ben Cain and Ryan Semmel were again at their optimum through the middle of the ground and Matt McIndoe and Leigh Morse shone. Jarred Eames booted four goals for the Hillmen, while Harry Larwill was again superb from the back half. Matt Hyden and Jake Mitchell also worked tirelessly through the middle of the ground and Marcus Dal Lago led from the front.

Sharks turn the tables on Eagles PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt BONBEACH turned around a three game losing streak against Edithvale-Aspendale to advance to the Peninsula League second semifinal. The Sharks burst out of the blocks and led at every change to run out 16.15 (111) to 12.8 (80) winners. Inaccuracy in front of goal by the Sharks allowed the Eagles to stay in the contest. At half time, Bonbeach had 17 scoring shots to 11 but led by just one point at the interval. The margin was 10 points at three quarter time (11.14 to 11.4) before the Sharks dominated the last half hour, booting five goals to one to record a commanding victory. It was a win that the Sharks needed to kick off their finals campaign. Of course, the last time they were at Frankston Park, they were blown away in the last quarter to lose the grand final against Edithvale. In the two home and away matches this season, Edithvale had the better of the Sharks. But despite the importance of getting the monkey off the back, Bonbeach coach Steven Capp told the RPP Footy Show (98.7FM, Saturday

9-10.30am) before the game that it wasn’t something his side had talked about leading up to the match. “2014 has been a very different season to 2013 and I believe we are better equipped heading into the finals,” Capp said. “We believe our best is good enough to beat anyone and the recent record against Edithvale means little when we run out today. “We don’t rely on any one or two players this season, like I believe we did last year, to a degree. “We have concentrated on ensuring that we have an even spread of contributors every week, rather than just relying on the likes of Shane McDonald to kick goals and Paul Rebeschini to drive us from the back half,” Capp said. Edithvale coach Troy Shannon agreed. “What we were able to achieve last year against Bonbeach and even beating them twice this year, means nothing in finals,” Shannon said. “We proved ourselves last year coming from fifth place that anything can happen in finals.” Whilst the Sharks don’t rely on any one or two players to win them games, it was the stars in McDonald

their midfielders forward of centre and this is probably the key reason they went down on Saturday. Some Eagles were also underdone and the big open spaces of Frankston Park in hot conditions tested their resolve. Jarrod Garth was sensational for the Eagles with six goals. Brad Tagg worked tirelessly with a couple and Timmy Mannix and Markham Johnson combined pretty well in the middle of the ground. Their defence was under enormous pressure though and they just couldn’t resist the surge from the Sharks. The Eagles will need to bounce back in the elimination first semi-final against Mornington while Bonbeach will be looking to head straight into the grand final with a win over Frankston YCW in the second semifinal. Mornington earned the right to tackle the Eagles after holding on to beat a fast finishing Langwarrin by two points, 9.9 (63) to 9.7 (61). The Dogs set up the win with four goals in four minutes in the third quarter after things were tight for the first half. The Doggies also kicked the first goal of the last quarter before

and Rebeschini who led the charge on Saturday. McDonald booted four goals and was his usual lively self while Rebeschini dominated from the back half. Gary Carpenter and Jackson Casey have been superb this season and their influence on the contest was outstanding. Cal McQueen booted almost 50 goals last season and whilst he hasn’t been as dominated, his last month has been superb. He booted five goals on Saturday. Whilst the Sharks didn’t have the same spread of goal kickers it has had throughout the season, it still had eight different contributors on the weekend. That was always going to be a problem for the Eagles coming into the match. The Sharks went into the match having eight different players who had kicked more than 13 goals for the season. Edithvale had just six but more importantly, four of them were key forwards in Jarrod Garth, Brent Bowden, Brad Tagg and Matt Kremmer. They weren’t getting a lot from

Langwarrin matched the Dogs’ effort of four goals in as many minutes to get within striking distance. It almost looked like history was going to repeat itself after the Dogs squandered what appeared to be a match winning lead last year against Edithvale before going down. However, with the Kangas deep into attack, the siren sounded, handing the Dogs the opportunity to proceed into the second week of the finals. Langwarrin’s Ricky Johnson was the best player on the ground, dominating from the back line, while ruckman Matt Naughton and midfielders Steve O’Brien and Mitch Gill Furness were also dominant. The Dogs were certainly cleaner with the footy in the second and third quarters, which helped them get over the line. Warwick Miller was outstanding for the Dogs, often left to do what he wanted, while Adrian Speedy was dominant. Mornington’s best player was Jai Haddock, while Daniel McDowell was also very strong in defence. After the disappointment of last season, the Dogs certainly deserved to go through and be part of the second week of finals this season.
