Trees on watch list By Neil Walker THE construction of the Parkdale Family and Children’s Centre has come at a cost to the community over and above the project’s $6 million price tag, with a number of mature native trees having been ripped out from the site on Parkdale Secondary College grounds. Members of the Mordialloc Village Committee were “stunned” to discover the trees had been ripped out before building works were due to commence. Village committee deputy chair Margaret Hunter said council officers had briefed the committee on the children’s hub project but the removal of trees did not appear to be included in original plans. “We are very concerned that these trees were removed because Parkdale Secondary is a former market garden that does still have some significant trees,” Ms Hunter said. “This probably has to be looked at by the school and council as part of the development of the children’s hub.” Councillor Rosemary West thanked village committee members for their concern and said councillors were also unaware the trees were going to be removed. However, Cr West did not blame Parkdale Secondary College for the trees’ removal “since they were only doing what council asked them to do…since council required a cleared site”. Cr West said the retention of the lemon scented gums would have added to the hub’s attraction if the building had been designed around the trees. Parkdale Secondary principal Greg McMahon told The News the school had been working with council on the building plans since 2009. “Unfortunately, the trees removed were right in the footprint of the building itself.”

Mr McMahon said more than 300 trees would be planted as part of the hub project. “It was a short-term loss but will be a long-term gain,” he said. Councillors agreed council officers should write to the school to ask to be notified if any further trees were to be removed during the centre’s construction. The village committee requested council notify the group on a monthly basis about any proposed significant trees removal in the Mordialloc Village Committee area, and this proposal was supported by councillors. Cr Paul Peulich praised the village committee for “doing a good job” in providing community feedback to council. “The village committee has identified a concern and this information will help the village committee to be more effective,” he said. Kingston Council environmental sustainability manager Rachel Hornsby cautioned that the council would not necessarily be pre-advised of the removal of mature trees. “Not every mature tree that is planned to be removed on private property will necessarily require a local law permit or a planning permit and so there will be situations where council officers don’t know about it,” Ms Hornsby said. “But any significant tree if it is on the significant tree register will require a planning permit.” The clearing of trees at Moorabbin Airport on former golf course land by the Moorabbin Airport Corporation in August caused widespread community concern, but this occurred on private property, meaning council had no control over the situation. The tree felling occurred after the previous federal government rejected the corporation’s application to build a shopping centre on the site.

Farewell to arms averted By Neil Walker CHELSEA and District Historical Society members pride themselves on preserving local history for the benefit of future generations. But it was their own historical legacy that was in urgent need of attention recently as the importance of their preservation work was literally brought home. The coat of arms at the front of the historically listed Court House Museum in Chelsea, where the society is based, was fading to a shadow of its former self and needed restoration. The society approached Kingston Council to ask for assistance to restore the coat of arms – but this was no simple paint job. The colours on the coat of arms had to be matched precisely to the original to maintain historical accuracy and integrity. “No-one knew what the exact original colours were so we had to write to the College of Arms in England to find out,” society president Ron Jacobs said. Society member Dorothy Meadows said the royal coat of arms at the museum was one of just 15 left in Victoria so it was important to ensure it did not fall into an irreversible state of disrepair. Council agreed to provide the $7000 needed to carry out the restoration work. “You can’t just go into Bunnings

Anglers lured with licence to spend

and buy the required paint colours,” Ms Meadows said. Frankston-based Lauro Lima Painting Services repainted the coat of arms and some pieces of the emblem suffering wear and tear were also restored. Kingston acting CEO Paul Franklin said council appreciated work done by the historical society in preserving and showcasing the municipality’s history and was happy to fund the restoration of the coat of arms. “This is one of many heritage restoration projects involving Kingston Council, with others including the cannons on Mordialloc’s Main St, clock towers in Moorabbin and Mordialloc, the Parkdale War Memorial and redevelopment of the historic Laura and Charles Ferguson Historical Museum in Mentone,” Mr Franklin said. “Community feedback received during council’s Living Kingston 2035 consultations was that residents place a high importance on the preservation of our history.” The Court House Museum is open to visitors every Sunday, or by appointment.

Green zone wedges council By Neil Walker COUNCILLORS remain divided over Kingston’s Green Wedge Plan, with a proposal aimed at preventing new landfill or concrete crusher operations in the green wedge failing to gain sufficient support at a recent council meeting. Councillors Steve Staikos and Tamara Barth wanted council to rezone land mostly north of Heatherton Rd from Special Use 2 to Green Wedge A in a bid to protect the area from further waste operations. Existing refuse disposal companies would still be able to operate in the area under existing use rights. Cr Staikos said councillors had previously agreed they did not want more concrete crushers in the green wedge

zone or new licences for tip operators to extend their businesses. He said it was important for council to act to protect the area north of Heatherton Rd for those that live and work there. “It has a detrimental impact on the amenity and quality of life for those people,” Cr Staikos said. Cr Barth said allowing concrete crushers and tips “has a devastating effect on our community”. Councillors Geoff Gledhill and Tamsin Bearsley moved to add an amendment to crs Staikos and Barth’s original notice of motion, seeking to decrease the minimum lot size from eight hectares to 2000 square metres for many privately owned properties south of Heatherton Rd.

Cr Bearsley said the green wedge zones were “a real social justice issue” since agriculture in the green wedge had become “financially unviable” for farmers struggling to make a living. Cr Rosemary West said Cr Gledhill and Bearsley’s proposed amendment was “radical” and that if lot sizes were reduced to 2000 square metres in the green wedge, the area south of Heatherton Rd “would be carved up for subdivision”. The amendment failed to gain majority support with Crs John Ronke, Ron Brownlees, Bearsley and Gledhill backing the move and Crs Paul Peulich, Staikos, West, David Eden and Barth voting against the amendment. Crs Staikos and Barth’s original proposal was then narrowly defeated after

a division was called and crs Ronke, Brownlees, Peulich, Bearsley and Gledhill opposed the motion. Crs Staikos, West, Eden and Barth backed the motion. Cr Staikos said councillors were generally united on most issues but the green issue had driven a wedge between them. “I have not been happy serving in this council for the past couple of months,” Cr Staikos said. “It’s been a very divisive place…this matter seems to tear us apart.” Several councillors stormed out of a fiery council meeting in August after an unscheduled notice of motion by Cr John Ronke regarding the use of green wedge land was introduced.

By Chris Brennan THE state government is cashed up and ready to splash out to help improve angling opportunities for recreational fishermen. Anglers are being asked to submit ideas on how to best to spend revenue generated by the sale of recreational fishing licences, with grants of up to $100,000 available for projects that will improve fishing opportunities. Minister for Agriculture and Food Security Peter Walsh said the government wanted to help angling groups and local government agencies deliver better fishing opportunities through the 2013-14 Recreational Fishing Grants Program. “Recreational fishing is extremely popular and contributes significantly to the economic development of regional Victoria,” Mr Walsh said. “Fishing is also a great way to spend time with family and friends in the great outdoors and helps people to stay active and connected to their communities. Applications for grants of up to $100,000 can be lodged from this months under the categories of fisheries sustainability and habitat improvement; fishing access and facilities; fisheries related education, information and training; and recreational fisheries research. Grants are open to fishing clubs, community groups, incorporated bodies, registered companies and government and statutory bodies. Smaller grants of up to $5,000 are available all year. Recreational Fishing Grants Working Group member Matthew Harrington said past projects included improved access, fishing platforms, family fishing days and the installation of artificial reefs in the bay. “There are many possibilities and we want recreational fishermen to bring those idea to the table,” he said. “The revenue comes from our fishing licences so it’s important that the grants go back to benefit the recreational anglers who have paid for those licences. “In the past there has been a lot of research grants, a lot of fishing platforms, cleaning tables, but all recreational fishermen would always like better access. Better access comes in many forms; it could be a walking path, it could be a car park, it could be an extra lane on a boat ramp.” Large grant submissions must be received by 28 February 2014.

Festival week not fun for all By Keith Platt WHILE thousands of older people are out enjoying themselves at this week’s Victorian Seniors Festival, many others are sitting at home depressed. “Up to 30 per cent of people over 65 who are frail and require significant support to continue living in their homes are depressed,” beyondblue CEO Kate Carnell said. “This is double the prevalence rate of depression for people over 65 who live in the community without help.” Seniors make up one third of Kingston’s population. To help seniors at home, beyondblue is holding training courses for aged care staff “to understand depression and anxiety in older people, and ensure their clients get support”. Ms Carnell said case managers and community care staff who visit older people in their homes can have a big impact on the mental health of those for whom they care.

“For a lot of people who don’t live with their family, this may be the most significant social relationship they have,” she said. “Becoming increasingly depressed or anxious doesn’t have to go hand-in-hand with ageing. “There are effective treatments available for depression and anxiety, regardless of a person’s age. Someone just has to be on the ball enough to pick up on the signs to get older people the help they need.” Ms Carnell said mental health problems could be accompanied by such physical symptoms as headaches and muscle pains, feeling sick, rundown or tired all the time, churning gut, sleep problems, loss or change of appetite, and weight loss or gain. The beyondblue training, Understanding Depression and Anxiety in Older People in the Community, is provided in a three-hour workshop. For details call beyondblue on 9810 6100.

Chelsea – Mordialloc News 9 October 2013

By Chris Brennan THREE men have been convicted and fined for taking double the bag limit of abalone, concealing part of their catch and providing false information to fisheries officers following an extensive surveillance operation on the Mornington Peninsula. The men, from Melbourne’s outer southeast, were fined a total of $8000 after pleading guilty in Frankston Magistrates’ Court late last month. The court was told the men were detected by fisheries officers taking double their legal entitlement of abalone at Rye and Sorrento in March. Fisheries officers taking part in Operation Molten observed the trio taking a quantity of abalone from waters off Rye, which they placed in a bag and later concealed in bushland at Boneo. The same men, who were travelling in two cars, were then seen taking more abalone at Sorrento. After leaving Sorrento, they returned to Boneo and retrieved the hidden bag. They were then intercepted by fisheries officers, who found 30 abalone in the two cars, double the legal limit of five abalone a person per day. After being arrested and taken to Springvale police station, the men gave false and misleading information while being interviewed, the court was told. One man was fined $2000, had his vehicle and all other equipment seized and was banned from fishing for abalone for 10 years.

The other two men were fined $3000 each and prohibited from fishing for abalone for 12 months, as well as forfeiting their equipment. Fisheries officer Rod Barber said daily catch limits were in place to protect abalone stocks and ignoring limits threatened the sustainability of the fishery, worth about $70 million a year. He said fishers who ignored the limits and provided false information to fisheries officers could expect significant penalties in the form of large fines, the forfeiture of vehicles and equipment, and lengthy fishing bans. The state government last month introduced tough measures to fight abalone poaching, including jail terms of up to 10 years and a 24hour hotline for members of the public to report illegal activities. An additional 28 fisheries officers were also put on late last year, boosting their number by 50 per cent to 85. Victoria is known as the abalone capital of the world, with about 80 per cent of the global catch going through Melbourne facilities. Abalone is about $50 a kilogram and is estimated about a third of the catch is through illegal means. The industry is tightly regulated in Victoria, with just 71 people holding licences, which allow them to harvest about 20 tonnes of abalone each a year. There is a permanent ban on taking abalone from Port Phillip except for 60 nominated open days of the year when strict bag limits apply.

Footy legend: Auskicker of the Year winner Skye Ferguson with her mother Leanne Ferguson at the Aspendale football ground. Picture: Gary Sissons

Skye’s the limit for Auskick champion By Neil Walker ASPENDALE Auskicker Skye Ferguson was a big winner on grand final day this year. The eight-year-old St Louis De Montfort’s School grade 2 pupil was named AFL Auskicker of the Year, the first girl to nab the prestigious title. Skye and her twin brother Nathan have enjoyed Auskick sessions at Aspendale on Saturdays during the footy season for the past three years and their mother Leanne Ferguson was thrilled with Skye’s grand final day win. There were more than 8000 applications to be an Auskicker of the week and this was narrowed down to 22 children, one for each round of the AFL season, with judges deciding on Skye as the Auskicker of the Year. Skye’s mother was overjoyed at her win. “Skye is not worried about doing the best she can in a male dominated sport,” Ms Ferguson said. “She started showing an interest in playing footy while watching her brother play and wanted to get in among it.” Skye was interviewed by former Geelong pre-

miership captain Cameron Ling live on Channel 7 during the half-time break of the Hawthorn vs Geelong game in May when she was the Auskicker of the week. As one of the 22 children chosen as weekly recipients of the honour, Skye was treated to a three-day stay in Melbourne by award sponsors NAB and the AFL over the grand final weekend. Skye took part in the grand final parade featuring finalists Hawthorn and Fremantle the day before the big game and travelled around the MCG boundary in an open-top car with NAB rising star winner Jaeger O’Meara of the Gold Coast Suns. Skye barracks for St Kilda and her favourite football player is Lenny Hayes “because he never misses goals”. On the footy field, her signature move is “selling some candy” to opposition players by dummying to move the ball one way before quickly changing direction to evade a tackle. After the grand final Skye presented a premiership medal to Hawthorn captain Luke Hodge, telling him: “you’re a champion”. The same can be said about Skye.

Search for sport heroes begins NOMINATIONS are open for this year’s Victorian Coalition Government’s Community Sport and Recreation Awards. Mordialloc MP Lorraine Wreford said it was a great opportunity to recognise the efforts volunteers make to sporting clubs. “Our volunteers do a wonderful job. So many in our community benefit from their efforts in

sporting clubs,” Ms Wreford said. The awards ceremony will be held at the MCG on Wednesday 4 December and will honour individuals, teams and clubs with prizes ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 across several categories. Nominations close on 23 October. Visit www. sport.vic.gov.au or call 9208 3310 for full details.

Work begins on children’s hubs

October our deadliest month

WORK is underway on two new multi-million dollar early learning service hubs at Edithvale and Parkdale following official sod turning ceremonies last week. Member for Mordialloc Lorraine Wreford and the Member for Carrum Donna Bauer joined Kingston Mayor Cr Ron Brownlees at ground breaking ceremonies last week to mark the official start of construction work on the two children’s hubs. The ceremonies were also attended by South-Eastern Metropolitan Region MP Inga Peulich and Federal Member for Isaacs Mark Dreyfus. Cr Brownlees said the new facilities would provide a “fantastic environment” for Kingston children when they opened in early 2015. Kingston Council has contributed $5 million to the Edithvale project at Edithvale Recreation Reserve, while the state government provided $1.5 million. The council provided $4.5 million for the Parkdale hub, at Parkdale Secondary College, with the state kicking in $1.5 million. “These early years hubs will act as a one-stop shop by offering a range of services for our growing number of younger residents,” Cr Brownlees said. “Having kindergarten, day care, playgroups and maternal and child health services under one roof will help families by making it easier to get the support and services they want in one location.” Cr Brownlees said the major projects were in response to the Council of Australian Government’s strategy which brought a national focus to

By Chris Brennan POLICE have vowed to come down hard on speeding drivers over the next four weeks after revealing October was the deadliest month on Victoria’s roads. Police and highway patrol units will be out in force on Kingston roads during the month to conduct a number of operations targeting road trauma, speed, impaired driving and hoon behaviour. Last year, 34 people were killed on the state’s roads in October, double the monthly average of 17. Over the past three years, an average of 30 people have died on Victorian roads during October. In total, 205 people died on Victoria’s roads during 2012, while a similar number is expected this year, with 176 fatalities recorded so far. Senior Seargent Karen Nyholm said evidence showed speeding was the single greatest cause of collisions and road trauma on Victoria roads and that for every 5km/h over the limit a vehicle is driven in a 60 km/h zone, the chance of collision doubles. “On average, we suffer nearly 100 deaths and more than 1700 serious injuries per year directly attributable to speed,” Senior Seargent Nyholm said. She said drivers needed to be aware of variable weather conditions, particularly rain and high winds, and adjust their driving habits accordingly. “Many factors need to be considered on top of the signed speed limits,” she said. “The wild weather we have been experiencing adds an additional risk factor to motorists. Roads with water coverage and debris from trees require drivers to take added care.”

ways of providing the best early childhood service solutions. The Edithvale centre will be able to offer two 27-place long day care rooms, as well as a sessional kindergarten with a 22-place and 33-place room. Parkdale will feature three 27-place long day care rooms and two 22-place sessional kindergarten rooms. Cr Brownlees advised Edithvale Recreation Reserve users that in-

creased construction activity at the reserve would be underway from about mid-October. While construction was already well-advanced on a new sports pavilion, the existing soccer pavilion would soon be demolished to make way for the children’s hub and the reserve’s car park would be temporarily closed until the end of the year for improvement works. Plenty of parking will be available

around the perimeter of the reserve, with overflow parking at the nearby golf club. An informal path will be provided to ensure users still have access to the reserve. Sporting use of the reserve will not be affected. Signage explaining the works will be installed at the reserve and nearby residents will receive written information detailing the construction activity, Cr Brownlees said.

Wally and mates for street festival By Debra Mar THE 18th annual Main Street Mornington Festival starts at 11am on Sunday 20 October. About 40,000 people packed the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Main St last year. Highlights will include stage performances headlined by The Basics (bassist Kris Schroeder, guitarist Tim Heath and drummer Wally de Backer, aka the Grammy Award-winner Gotye), roving musicians, artists, a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arcade, activities and more than 70 food and wine stalls.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

French Island to be annexed, tennis club in full swing Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 October 1913. FRENCH Island has the distinction of being the only piece of Victorian territory that is not under municipal control. Mr A. Downward, M.L.A., on Wednesday introduced a deputation to Mr Hagelthorn, Minister for Public Works, from the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, and also from the island itself, to discuss the question of annexing the island to the shire. Cr r J. D. Hodgins, president of the shire, Mr J. L. Parkes, president, and Dr Plowman, secretary of the Westernport Progress Association, Mr J. Lindley, Mr W. H. Renwick and others were the speakers. The Minister was asked for ÂŁ2000 to put the roads of the island in order as a condition to annexation, since the revenue from the handful of people there would be very small. He was also asked to extend one of the jetties and to try and facilitate the construction of the new channel at Hastings. Mr Hagelthorn, in reply, stated that the department would also draw up a scheme, apart from any grant, and he believed it would satisfy the councillors present that the island could be taken over without incurring any financial loss. *** THE local tennis club is in a prosperous way, according to the financial statement made on Wednesday night at the annual meeting. There is a credit balance of about ÂŁ9 in hand. It was decided to proceed with the formation of a new court at once. Several donations have been received, and the sec-

retary (Cr R. Jackson) will be pleased to receive any further sums from patrons or admirers of the game. Mr G. Keast was re-elected president; Mrs Geo Griffeth and Messrs F. W. Roper and A. Unthank, vice-presidents. Mr Jackson was elected secretary and treasurer. There are nearly fifty members. It was decided to proceed with a tournament at once. Delegates were appointed to attend a meeting of the Peninsula Tennis Association. *** DR Guthrie, the famous Scottish preacher, on one occasion expressed his opinion of whisky in these words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whisky is good in its place. There is nothing in the world like Whisky for preserving a man when he is dead, but it is one of the worst things in the world for preserving a man when he is living. If you want to keep a dead man, put him in whisky; if you want to kill a living man, put whisky in him.â&#x20AC;? And in his day Dr Guthrie spoke from a wide experience. *** BARGAINS were the order of the day at Mr W. Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sale of household furniture at Mornington on Wednesday last. *** ALREADY a good number of furnished houses have been booked for the coming season at Mornington, several for long periods at good rentals. *** WE are pleased to state that Miss Jackson, daughter of the Rev R. and Mrs Jackson, of Frankston, who has been confined to her bed for some

weeks with a severe attack of influenza, is now in a fair way towards recovery, and is able to leave her room.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is nothing in the world like Whisky for preserving a man when he is dead, but it is one of the worst things in the world for preserving a man when he is living.â&#x20AC;?

*** THE building trade at Mornington is still very brisk. A couple more houses are going up in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;old homeâ&#x20AC;? paddock and at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bendigo by the Sea,â&#x20AC;? also a five-roomed cottage is being built in Albert Street, by Mr A. Clarke, for Mr A. Beattie. *** AT the last meeting of the Beachdale Progress Association, greetings were given from the Westernport Association by Cr Plowman, from the Langwarrin Association, by Cr Oates, and

Moorooduc Association sent theirs along. Where was Frankston? *** THE Frankston Choral Society regret that they have recently lost a number of their members, who have left the district. Miss Annie Brody will be greatly missed by the members and also the public, as her reciting was always very much appreciated at the Choral concerts. *** THE Frankston Choral and Orchestral Society gave a very successful concert to the hall committee at Somerville recently, and were invited on that occasion to repeat the concert. On Saturday, October 18th, the Society intend giving a better programme in aid of their own funds. *** MR. John McGowan, the promising young baritone singer who has several times appeared successfully in Frankston, on Wednesday evening, 1st inst., we note from the Melbourne daily papers, gave a recital in the Masonic Hall, Collins Street, Melbourne, to a crowded audience. The Melbourne press speak in a flattering manner of Mr McGowanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s splendid singing. *** THE general entries for the V.R.C. Cup Meeting are to hand. A total of 1049 entries have been received. Both Zephuron and Lord Emms have been nominated for the Cup Steeplechase of 500 sovs, also the Victorian Steeple- chase of 500 sovs. Zephuron has been spelling since his Bendigo victory, and Lord Emms is busy training in Frankston. With a start both horses

will be hard to beat over the Flemington stiff fences. *** THE monthly meeting of the Fruitgrowers is to be held in the Mechanicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hall on Monday night next. The election of show committee is to take place. *** THERE was a large attendance to hear Mr Jennings, of the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liberal Party, speak on Tuesday night. The president of the local branch (Mr W. Martin) occupied the chair. A few musical items were rendered during the evening:- Miss Ruby Griffeth, overture; Miss Twyford, song; Mr Reed, song. *** THE hon sec (Mrs M. R. Deans) on behalf of the Ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Committee for the official opening of the Melbourne Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Home at Frankston, begs to thank the following ladies and Rev Dr Marshal, Scotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, Collins Street, for their generous donations of cakes, milk, etc., towards the afternoon tea on the 4th October:Lady Madden, Mrs (Dr) Maxwell, The Matron Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Home, Mesdames W.

By Stuart McCullough

Great thunderboxes of the new millennium By Stuart McCullough YOU can tell whether society is civilised by a great many things – its music, art and whether it can sustain a viable roller-derby competition. You can also glean much from the things a community builds – its temples, halls and so on. But the true character of a city is revealed not in its grand designs, its monuments or skyscrapers. You need to look closer to ground level. If you really want to understand a society, look at its toilets. It’s true that such things should never be raised in polite discussion. Indeed, it’s no accident that we have developed all manner of euphemisms for describing this most basic of human functions. From ‘powdering your nose’ through to the ever-cryptic ‘seeing a man about a horse’, we are programmed from childhood to avoid declaring that we have heard nature call and intend to answer it. I, for one, am not afraid to say that I’m a firm believer in high quality public facilities. Truth be told, it was upon being handed a shovel and the instruction to “find somewhere quiet” when camping as a child that permanently put me off the outdoors. To its eternal credit, Frankston not only has a high quality public convenience, they have called it a ‘comfort station’. Now that’s civilised. But a dark cloud has descended across our suburbs and towns, casting its ominous shadow over our communal outhouses and threatening the universal right to take a tinkle at short notice. These monuments to civility have become a target of anti-social

behaviour far beyond bad graffiti that makes the bold but unlikely promise of ‘for a good time call….’. Vandalism and worse has resulted in the closure of many of these national treasures. Before long, we’ll be lucky if there are any left at all. It was Saturday morning and we were heading from one ‘open for in-

spection’ to the next. I’d been for a run and had drunk plenty of water to avoid dehydration. There are many rules when looking at other people’s homes; chief amongst them being that you must never utilise the facilities during an open for inspection. Trust me – it’s something I learned the hard way. When the sweet siren call of nature

began to whisper in my ear, my mind immediately sprang into action, before swiftly pulling a hamstring and retiring ‘hurt’. I considered stopping at a well-known chain of fast food-restaurants for what is known throughout the civilised world as a ‘McSlash’ but decided to take the high moral ground. Besides, I’ve grown tired of purchasing a small order of French Fries when all I really want to do is visit Fonzie’s office. As we drove on, I saw it. An expanse of green appeared over the horizon as we came upon a park. But as I gazed out upon the rolling hills and trees, my heart sank. For this park did not have a discrete brick structure tucked away in some quiet corner. Instead, the locals had installed space toilets from the future. It was a gleaming, metal box; like something you’d expect if Doctor Who decided to ‘pimp his ride’. For years, I have avoided these contraptions for fear that they might malfunction. I approached it slowly and with caution. As I got closer, a flashing green light suggested it was ready for its next victim. On the outside was a long list of instructions and, suddenly, not quite my greatest fear was realised. What if I couldn’t figure out how to get in? Without my reading glasses, the instructions may as well have been in Esperanto. Starting to panic, I was reduced to pushing various buttons and whole panels at random before curling my fists and banging on the outside. Miraculously, the door slid open. But getting inside was one thing. Getting

the door to close was another entirely. After a few panicked minutes, I found another button and was entombed. Without warning, the same voice that tells me that the 7.36 express to the city is now departing platform 2 told me that I had ten minutes to do what I came for before unspecified consequences would be visited upon me. I assumed the worst – the door would spring open and a tactical response team, weapons drawn, would be waiting for me. Then, as though sensing my extraordinary level of anxiety, the soothing sounds of Burt Bacharach were piped into the room. As sentiments go, I wholly agree with Burt that what the world needs now is love, sweet love, but I’m not sure that I need to hear about it when using a public lavatory. Lucky for me, I was done before my ten minutes was up. As I exited the metal box and returned to the sunlight, I wondered how things have reached a point where something as simple as a public convenience needs a level of security to rival your local bank. If you can indeed judge a town by its facilities, I don’t know what a ‘Discomfort Station’ says about us. On the one hand, it’s cold and impersonal. On the other, it looks like it could withstand a nuclear bomb blast. Perhaps I’m being too nostalgic. I should move on. From this day forth, I will embrace technology. For when it comes to spending a penny, I have seen the future and it’s shiny, sleek and comes with a soundtrack by Burt Bacharach. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Easy riders: (from left) Vaughan, Stewart, Diane, Margaret, Fran and Pat get set to set off from Mordialloc Community Centre for a group cycle on Kingston roads. Picture: Gary Sissons

Ride in good company STAYING fit does not have to involve extreme exercise and stamina. Cycling is a perfect lowimpact way to maintain fitness or even get fit again. Bike riding improves cardiovascular fitness but has low impact on joints, including hips and knees. Mordialloc Community Centre hosts a senior’s bike riding program for seniors aged 60 and above. Many people begin riding for their health and fitness, but often keep cycling because they enjoy the company of fellow riders. Cycling group coordinator Vaughan Gibson said age is no barrier to participation.

“We have people in their early 80s cycling with us,” Mr Gibson said. Thursday sessions are specifically tailored to new riders. Participants must bring their own helmet and drink bottle, but bikes are available for hire to get started. Riders with more experience on the roads cycle between 15-20 kilometres around Kingston each Tuesday. The fee for each session is $2.50 and bookings are essential. Contact Mordialloc Community Centre on 9580 3675 for further information. Visit www. mordialloccommunitycentre.org.au

A lifestyle change WE all come to a time in our lives when we need to evaluate our living circumstances. For some, the children have moved out and the family home may be too large to manage. For others, living in proximity with similarly aged people is important. Willow Lodge offers owner occupied accommodation on a permanent basis, situated in a mature age lifestyle resort. There are one and two bedroom homes for sale at affordable prices on the 45 acre site. When Willow Lodge say lifestyle resort, you can understand why. For the more active, they offer tennis courts, outdoor bowling greens, indoor bowls, swimming pool (pictured below), dance and live shows.

Emerging treatment for Week severe emphysema disease EMPHYSEMA is a chronic lung disease that causes shortness of breath and is often classified as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In people with emphysema, the lung tissue involved with the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) is impaired or destroyed. This may result in a reduction of lung elasticity and gas trapping in the affected sections of the lung. This trapped air can cause the lung to enlarge (hyper-inflate) and take up more space in the chest leading to poor breathing mechanics, less functional lung volume and shortness of breath. Typically, various approaches to treatment include various bronchodilating and/or steroid medications, pulmonary rehabilitation and oxygen therapy. Endobronchial valve (EBV) treatment is an

emerging technique that works to reduce the damaged/hyper-inflated section of the lung by collapsing the affected area via placement of a one-way valve in the lung segment. Reducing the damaged section of the lung can provide more space within the chest for the healthier sections of the lung to inflate and take part in gas exchange. EBV treatment is a minimally-invasive procedure referred to as endoscopic lung volume reduction. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes. Evidence suggests that endoscopic lung volume reduction is associated with improvement in lung function, exercise tolerance and quality of life. The procedure is currently carried out at leading hospitals around the world, with treatment centres operating in all main states of Australia.

Late-Stage Emphysema? Three for tea: Carrum MP Donna Bauer, centenarian Coraline Uren and Premier Denis Napthine at Parliament House for the Century Club celebrations.

Better by the ton CORALINE Uren is used to being the oldest person in the room and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually also the centre of attention. So it was something of an oddity when the spritely centenarian from Aspendale Gardens last week found herself one of the younger guests at a special get together at Parliament House. Mrs Uren was one of 45 Victorians aged 100 years to attend the third annual Century Club event, which was hosted by state member for Carrum Donna Bauer. At 101, Mrs Uren has experienced all but five of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 28 prime ministers and Dr Denis Napthine, who joined the Century Club afternoon tea to pay tribute to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most senior citizens, is her 23rd Victorian premier. Dr Napthine said members of the Century Club had helped shape the values of their communities and provided an invaluable first-person link to historic events that had forged the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; identity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we were seated in a cinema with the Movietone Newsreel going, imagine the scenes we could see from the 100 years our Century Club members have witnessed,â&#x20AC;? Dr Napthine said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The laughing kookaburra and Jack Davey in-

troducing the flickering black and white of the building of Canberra, the roaring 20s, the presence of radios in homes, the great Depression, Don Bradman out for a duck in his last innings, a three day flight to London ... through to the emerging colour of the story of the modern world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over this time each of you developed a set of life long values and, in doing so, together you shaped the values of your local community, your state and your country. That is the evidence of your contribution, your legacy if you like.â&#x20AC;? Ms Bauer said we had much to learn from our seniors and that those who had achieved the milestone of living for more than 100 years had plenty of secrets to share. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get great pleasure from reading the Centenarianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secrets to longevity,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some included enjoying the outdoors and drinking a whisky a day, a positive outlook on life and no bad habits, eating plenty of salt and oil, gardening, walking, no drinking, having fun, boys and music, keeping busy and keeping your mind alert and having keen interests, eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, a happy marriage, a good family and a crossword each day.â&#x20AC;?

Olds Boys put to sword by Faithfull PROVINCIAL By IT Gully REIGNING MPCA Provincial champions Peninsula Old Boys didn’t get the start they were looking for when the new season was unveiled last weekend. Playing against cross-town rivals, Mt Eliza, the Old Boys were put to the sword by the Mounties’ opening batsman, Tristan Faithfull, who belted 115 in the eight wicket win. Faithfull played all season in the Second XI last season, getting a top score of 96. He was superb on Saturday in helping his side to the winning post with two overs to spare. The Old Boys batted first on their home deck and put together a more than competitive 5/173. Brandon Lawler top scored with 58 and Glenn Prendergast finished unbeaten on 40. Wade Pelzer also scored 36. With Faithfull in a damaging mood, there weren’t enough runs in the bank and the Mounties called it quits at 2/175. Langwarrin re-launched in Provincial cricket

with a convincing win over Mt Martha. The Kangas scored 6/153 with the evergreen Danny Weare top scoring with an unbeaten 50. Openers Taylor Smith (31) and Mark Cooper (30) got their side away to a good start with a stand of 64. The Reds had no answers for spin king Dwayne Doig, who at one stage had 4/8 before finishing with 5/25. Kade Bendle, out of Under 17s last season, top scored with 36 for the Reds while skipper Corey Harris was next best with 25. Mt Martha could only manage 9/114 in reply. Crib Point was able to chase down Baxter’s strong total of 8/174 at Crib Point Reserve. Baxter won the toss and batted and Shane McComb got his side away to a strong start with 56. Dale Irving contributed 35 and Dean Sterry finished unbeaten on 38. 8/174 looked good enough. Brad Davidson was the pick of the Magpies’ bowlers with 4/41 from 10 overs, while Henry Dolphin claimed 2/15 from his 10. The home side couldn’t have got away to a better start in its chase.

Matty Blake was the aggressor of the two openers, smashing 96, while Dolphin played the anchor role with 34. Dolphin was the first one dismissed with the score on 140. However, just 35 shy of victory, the Pies lost six wickets for just 23 runs. They were 7/169, before Warren Herrington got them over the line. Ben Smith was the best of the Baxter bowlers with 5/16 from 10 overs. Smith, not known for his bowling, had just 21 overs in three senior matches last season.

Chris Hocking was the best of the Long Island bowlers with 3/11 from four overs while Fergus O’Connor, fresh from Premier cricket at Casey-South Melbourne,

helped himself to 2/16. Sorrento was unconvincing in its match but still got the job done against Moorooduc.

In reply, the Ducs could only manage 8/134, Bobby Wilson and Brayden Gleeson each getting 24. Nick Davern bowled eight overs and finished with 3/28 for the home side. Mornington did what it needed to do against Rye without setting the world on fire. The Doggies batted first with Matt Foon top scoring with 57 and Ben Clements scoring 20. At one stage, the visitors were in some strife at 7/113 after losing 6/36. The strong bowling attack of the Doggies then stepped up to the plate and rolled Rye in the 30th over for just 94. Teenager Jack Haseltine snared 3/6 from three overs and Luke Harper claimed 3/23 from eight overs. Luke Popov also picked-up 2/11. Andrew Hitchener top scored with 25 for Rye.

Power powers way to ton for Flinders DISTRICT By IT Gully TOP order batsman Andrew Power was the major catalyst behind Flinders’ strong victory over Ballam Park in MPCA District cricket. Power smashed five fours and six sixes on his way to an unbeaten 102, while his partner in crime just happened to be one of the best in the business, Shane Beggs, who was also unbeaten on 89. The pair came together when the score was 3/46 and walked off with the score on 3/225 after 40 overs. In reply, the Knights were never in the hunt, losing wickets regularly and eventually bowled out for 86. Ballam Park was looking for a big improvement this season after an embarressing 2012-13, however, it appears in the early stages that not a lot has changed. Matty Roach top scored for the Knights with 25, while Max Royal was the pick of the Flinders bowlers with 4/20. Seaford is expected to have a tough season and things didn’t start well against Carrum. Batting first, Seaford was bowled out in the 35th over for just 65. Damien Lawrence top

scored with an unbeaten 22. Jackson Fry claimed 3/20 and Jeremy Graves 3/19 to be the best of the Lions’ bowlers. In reply, the home side lost five wickets on their way to claiming victory. Shaun Foster top scored with 28. Ryan McQueen picked up two wickets. Pines got its season in order early, knocking over the highly fancied Main Ridge. The Ridge batted first and early in the match were 3/3, however Brad Rossborough and Gareth Wyatt steadied the ship with 21 each, before Nick Gage scored 27 at the end. Brett Remy was the best of the Pines bowlers with 4/18. Ricky Ramsdale then guided his side across the line with an unbeaten 30. Pines won the match in the 35th over, losing just four wickets. Harley Parker opened with 25, while Jake Prosser made an early impression at his new club with a catch, run out, wicket and 19 runs. Hastings caused one of the upsets of the round, beating Baden Powell. The Braves lost the toss and were sent in to bat, however, were bowled out for 112. Only two batsmen made it to double figures, Rhys Elmi scoring 39 and Anjula Perera 44. Recruit Benny Johnson made a strong start

with his new club, claiming 4/24 from nine overs. Isuru Dias picked-up 3/20. In reply, the Blues were wobbly early before Luke Hewitt (31) and Ben King (21) guided their side to victory. Perera rounded-out a great game personally with 3/36. New kids on the block, Seaford Tigers, were shown the significant level of difference between Subbies and District cricket by Delacombe Park. The Tigers batted first and made 130 in 40 overs. Chris Brittain and Simon Dignan were the stars with the ball for the Parkers with 3/25 and 2/11 respectively. When it came time to bat, Jon Guthrie smacked 49 and Chris Brittain hit 38 to help their side over the line with three wickets in hand. Corey Hand was the pick of the Tigers’ bowlers with three wickets. Somerville got away to a flier, smashing Boneo. The top order for the Eagles all got starts, Nick Marshall top scoring with 52 and Jack Barbour scoring 25. Chris Jobling and Justin Moore each claimed two wickets for Boneo. In reply, Boneo fell 50 runs short. Ryan Jellie top scored with 25. Justin Allsop was the best with the ball for the Eagles with 4/32.

By IT Gully ROSEBUD and Red Hill both started well with strong victories in round one of Sub District cricket. The Buds and the Hillmen are both expected to be right in the mix at the business end of the season and they were both up and going on Saturday. Red Hill had a walk in the park against Dromana. The Hills bowled first and rolled the Hoppers for just 63, skipper Simon Dart dominating proceedings with 5/11. The Hillmen then passed the total with the loss of just two wickets. Rosebud had to work a little harder than Red Hill in its match against Tootgarook. The Buds scored 4/175 in its 40 overs after batting first. Darren Kerr was the architect with 61, Leigh Parslow knocked up 51 and Adam Clifford made an impression opening the innings with 33. Jason Nagel was then the man to do the damage for Rosebud with the ball, claiming 4/31 from 10 overs. Brian Doughty snared 3/39 and Kerr made it a wonderful game personally with 2/35. Tyabb and Pearcedale went head to head in what was expected to be a tight tussle. The match certainly didn’t disappoint, the Yabbies getting home in a thriller by just eight runs. The Yabbies won the toss and batted first and were able to push their final total to 8/157. Luke Rus top scored with 48 and Ben Van Wees was also very good in the middle order with 43. Scott Didcock opened with 23. Shayne Gillings was the best of the Panthers bowlers with 4/29. In reply, the Panthers looked to be in a strong position at 3/75 and again at 4/118. New skipper Chris Dew did his job with 68 and David Brabazon scored 25, however, there wasn’t any wag in the tail. Pearcedale was bowled out in the 39th over. Nathan Hudgson took 4/23 from 8.4 overs for the Yabbies. Carrum Downs and Frankston YCW also had a tight battle. The Downers batted first and made 8/151, thanks largely to Chamara Perera, who blasted an unbeaten 45 batting at nine. Adam Muirhead picked-up 3/50 for the Stonecats. In reply, YCW fell just two runs short. Teenager Jack Greenwood opened with 38 and Paul Bradley (57) and Luke Hutchison (27) appeared to be the ones to get their side over the line. However, they lost their last four wickets for six runs and fell short. In the final match, Skye won comfortably over Balnarring. Balnarring batted first and was all out for just 91. Mark Wales top scored with 37. Leigh Smith was outstanding for his side with the ball, taking 4/13, while Phil Clinch picked-up 3/35. In response, it was Smith again who was the difference, scoring 40, while Stephen Smart hit 26. Skye won with an over and five wickets in hand. Chelsea – Mordialloc News 9 October 2013

Ill wind blows kindly for anglers on land By Kosta Linardos CYCLONIC winds have made getting boats on the water a hard task for the start of this year’s snapper season. This, however, has made some excellent land-based fishing for those targeting snapper. Big south westerly winds stir food up against the structure along the eastern side of the bay and have the fish feeding. Fishing from piers between Mordialloc all the way up to St Kilda has been producing great results for those willing to brave the harsh conditions. Fish up to 7kg have been reported along the bays many piers and break walls and fishing during the blow or just after it subsides should produce great results. Large surf rods will enable you to cast sinkers of 3-6 ounce required to hold bottom in turbulent conditions with sliding sinker rigs with snelled 4-6/0 hooks and fresh squid or pilchard baits working best. By timing the tide with a big south-westerly blow you should see yourself get on to some good fish. Fishing the sunrise and sunset and this will better your chances again. Fishing from the boat has seen inconsistent results for most anglers. Many boats have been frustratingly sounding good fish but cannot get them to take a bait. This would be largely due to water temperature, which is still only sitting around 14/15 degrees. The northern end of the bay has been produc-

ing the best results so far with Brighton, St Kilda and Port Melbourne best with many reports coming in of the fish being in shallow from 7-12 metres. This isn’t to say the southern parts of the bay won’t fire, it’s still early and I’m sure the coming fortnight will see better results. Squid are still on offer in the south with everywhere from Black Rock to Mt Eliza producing results. Until next report stay safe, keep collecting bait and closely watch the tides, winds and barometer to fish the optimal conditions. Kosta Linardos is publisher and editor of Hooked Up Magazine.
