Patients’ pals just like the real thing PET Therapy Pals are making hospital and nursing home stays more enjoyable for elderly patients on the Mornington Peninsula. One patient, Alan Wardley, describes his therapy pal, Spotless, as a “wonderful, wonderful friend”. Mr Wardley, who has dementia, was a patient at The Mornington Centre when staff realised he would benefit from Peninsula Health’s Pet Therapy Pal program. The weighted stuffed animals remind patients of the feeling they enjoyed holding and caring for their real pets. They keep patients company and – like real pets – are ready for a cuddle at any time. “Patients who are very confused, who are really missing home, are lonely and don’t understand why they’re in hospital, really benefit from the program,” diversional therapist Maureen Donovan said. “It provides people who had pets with some familiarity and a link to home. “We know that stroking an animal helps calm people and makes them feel peaceful, and that’s exactly what the program does.” For Mr Wardley, Spotless triggered memories of his cats at home. “It is a very, very good therapy for people with dementia,” his wife Greta said. “My family and I can all see how much love Alan has for Spotless, as he named her.” Peninsula Health is raising money through its website for the Pet Therapy Pal program.

Shire to open office in Melbourne Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is opening a “satellite” office for its planners in central Melbourne. Councillors last week approved spending up to $60,000 to rent an office in the city for 12 months. They have called for a report on the “positives and negatives” after

GREAT SMILE

the office has been operating for nine months. Planning services executive manager David Bergin said the chance of working at a city location would enable the shire to retain “high performing staff”. “A number of staff resignations last year have identified a concern with distance from home, social life and family,” Mr Bergin said in a report to council’s Tuesday 27 March meeting. He said savings on travelling time,

which he “conservatively estimated” at $28,000, would offset the costs of the office. Mr Bergin said planners were frequently required to attend at the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), training courses “and other meetings in the CBD”, including with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), the Environment Protection Authority, Municipal Association of Victoria and

He said travelling back to Mornington from Melbourne could take up to one hour and 45 minutes, which was costly when a planner was paid $43$76 an hour, a senior planner $53-$79, a principal planner $58-$91 and a team leader $70-$105.

Homeless stay out of reach Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au HOMELESSNESS is surging with a 17 per cent increase in Frankston and a 10 per cent increase on the Mornington Peninsula in the five years from the 2011-16 census nights. Figures released by the Council to Homeless Persons show 546 people experienced homelessness in Frankston last year compared to 465 in 2011. On the Mornington Peninsula 298 people were homeless last year compared to 272 in 2011. State-wide, the census data shows that 24,817 Victorians were homeless in 2016 – up from 22,306 in 2011. SalvoCare Eastern Rosebud manager Loretta Buckley said the stigma of homelessness meant many people could not bring themselves to seek help. “It’s very hard for some people to admit they don’t have a home, or that they can’t afford the rent after losing their job, or that they have been forced to leave home because of domestic violence and now don’t have money,” she said. “There’s been an increase in female homelessness across the board, possibly with more women feeling they can take positive action against domestic violence by moving out – many taking their children with them.

“Also, we have an increasing aged population on the Mornington Peninsula with more elderly residents looking for public housing after a rise in private rents. Everyone has their own circumstances: perhaps their partner has gone into a nursing home and they simply can’t afford to live where they are.” The Frankston and Mornington Peninsula figures straddle the state average of an 11 per cent rise in homelessness, with the peak body saying the figures are a “wake-up call”. CEO Jenny Smith has urged the federal government to release a housing and homelessness plan. “The increase … is no surprise given that, as a country, we’ve failed to tackle the housing affordability crisis, and our homelessness services continue to be chronically underfunded,” she said. “The census simply puts a number to what Victorian homelessness services have long been reporting – that they’re groaning under the weight of demand.” The service has called on the state government to fund 14,500 more social housing properties – tripling the commitment previously made. Ms Buckley said the nearest crisis accommodation for those in need in Frankston or on the peninsula was at Dandenong. SalvoCare also assists with public housing application forms.

Arts expert draws big crowd ART enthusiasts flocked to hear British antiques expert Paul Atterbury speak at the March meeting of the Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society in Mornington. About 230 members and guests enjoyed a fascinating and well-illustrated presentation on The Canal Age, Mornington branch chairman Peter McGinley said. Mr Atterbury gave insights into the development of the network of canals in Britain, 1760s1840s, that he said was at the heart of the Industrial Revolution. Their

Chasseur - French Blue

development was said to have had a major impact on artists such as John Constable and manufacturers such as Josiah Wedgwood. The talk looked at those who worked on the canal boats, especially working families who travelled the network in all conditions to earn an income. Mr McGinley said this year’s program included a wide range of topics: A New Black Identity: The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, The Mistress of Romance meets the Master of Suspense: Daphne du Maurier and

Alfred Hitchcock, and Rembrandt’s Vision: Dutch History Painting in the 17th Century. ADFAS members learn about the arts in a friendly environment. The next talk on Friday 4 May focuses on British artist William Hogarth. New members are welcome. The hour-long lectures are at 5.30pm at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Road, Mornington. They are followed by light refreshments and an opportunity to meet the lecturer and fellow members. Details: Lorraine Borthwick 0419 789 280.

NEWS DESK Special delivery: Chris Savage has taken his road safety message to Canberra with Les Hawkins, Tom Pountney and Geoff Elwin. Picture: Supplied

On the road with road safety plea WHITE bike rider Chris Savage rode into Canberra on Sunday night (25 March) to complete his 1700 kilometre journey highlighting the need for improved road safety. His ride honoured former student Joel Hawkins, 17, of Mt Martha, who died in hospital after being struck by a car in Dromana in June 2015. A white bike marks the accident scene near the corner of Marine Parade and Nepean Highway. On Monday (yesterday) the cycling coach rode a 17-kilometre loop of the capital before meeting up with Flinders MP Greg Hunt and delivering his road safety message at Parliament House. Mr Hunt was among 250 supporters who farewelled Savage when he left Mornington Park the previous Saturday. “I told [Mr Hunt] there were 86,400 seconds in every day and all we ask is for road users to take two of them to think about road safety,” Savage told The News. Savage, who was sent off by 250 supporters from Mornington Park on Saturday 17 March said the ride through central and northeastern Victoria and southern NSW had gone “really well”. “I didn’t even have a puncture,” he said. He was accompanied by Joel’s father Leslie who had earlier urged road users to “double check they are making the safest decision for everybody – life is such a vulnerable thing and the impact of a road casualty is absolutely devastating to everyone involved”. Savage added: “All road users should be patient and respect the rights of others on our roads.” Stephen Taylor

Chef caters for tastes around the world Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A STROLL along the beach has often been credited with providing food for thought. The lapping of the water and a sunset can be inspiring. The beach is a place often sought out by Joel Mielle, but in his case beach walks provide thought for food. Mielle is a chef who offers his recipes to the world rather than on a particular restaurant’s menu. Cooking and preparing meals has been part of Mielle’s life for as long as he can remember. His parents owned the Douce France restaurants in Frankston followed by Provence in Mornington and it seemed more than natural for him to attend Melbourne’s William Angliss college – the “specialist centre for [education ion] hospitality, tourism and culinary arts” - before completing a chef’s apprentiship. Now living in Mt Martha, Mielle is using all his culinary and filmmaking skills to entice an ever-growing customer base to his recipes published on social media. His online presence sees him offering his recipes to an international audience that he says has garnered more than 100,000 “genuine email subscribers”, 1.7 million Facebook followers as well as recently attracting more than 100,000 viewers to offerings on YouTube “which entitles me to a trophy”. The internet also allows him to communicate with his audience from anywhere at any time. However, capturing eyeballs online is a lot different to filling seats with

paying customers in bricks and mortar restaurant and Mielle is not alone in working out ways of turning all this attention into a reliable income. “I shoot, edit and record my own voice overs, do my own photography, web design and social media. I’m a one man band,” he says. “When travelling overseas my work doesn’t stop, it’s integrated in my lifestyle. I’m still filming and cooking, as I will be doing in Thailand in a few weeks.” His travel itinerary has included Lebanon where he’s a regular on TV. He knows most of his viewers are

from the United States and Europe but wants to “expand” into Asia. Mielle’s popularity allows him to negotiate “complimentary accommodation [with] hotels and villas” while there’s also an income stream from advertisements on YouTube and his website as well as “occasional sponsors”. “I’ve lived on the Mornington Peninsula most of my life and wouldn’t live anywhere else,” he says. “I love that I can just walk to the beach and film some of the scenery that you’ll see in some of my [online] recipes. Or go to farmland in just

minutes, everything is here. “My recipes are quite simple, but thrive for maximum flavour and my videos are what makes them stand out with easy to follow visuals.” Mielle’s camera skills have also seen him produce television commercials and be hired as a director of photography on feature films. “This allowed me to combine my two skills and my two passions with an online cooking channel with a high production quality,” he says. “Owning a restaurant today is not part of my goal as I’ve already had that experience after taking over

Douce France for several years. “I prefer being a chef on social media because it gives me more flexibility to combine it into a lifestyle. “I plan on doing more travelling and focus more on food and travel, meet other chefs and try other foods, then bring back new innovative yet simple versions for my audience to cook at home.” Mielle wants to “educate the world into cooking more at home again, to stop buying processed foods that are making the world sick and overweight and bring back family values around the table”.

NEWS DESK Shire’s move to Melbourne Continued from Page 1 “In addition to our ratepayers, many of the larger planning consulting firms and architects are based in and close to the CBD, which will make us more accessible to meet and discuss planning matters.” Mr Bergin said the office would have six to eight desks, allowing three to four staff to be there “on a rotating basis”. Staff using the city office would also be required a set number of days a week at the Mornington office. “An attendance chart will be developed to ensure that both staff and leaders are rotated through the office in a functional method.” CEO Carl Cowie, in a news release, said the Melbourne office would “improve efficiency and customer service for the shire’s planning services department [and] … improve productivity and flexibility for staff while improving our overall planning services”. “The satellite office will allow our planning services team to use their time more effectively, spending more time working for our community, and less time travelling between the peninsula and the CBD,” Mr Cowie said. “It will also improve our customer service by providing better accessibility to a quarter of our home owners who live and work in and around Melbourne. “We are here for the community – we want to help our residents with their planning needs as efficiently and effectively as possible. This office will allow our ratepayers to visit us in the CBD to chat and get the advice they need quicker.” Mr Cowie told The News on 31 August 2017 that “there is nothing to report regarding a shire office in central Melbourne” (“Shire planning to lease city office” The News 19/9/17). But one day later (1 September), in his regular Friday email to shire staff Weekly Message, Mr Cowie described sitting in an Uber “waiting to get on the Monash [Freeway]” on his way to a meeting in the Melbourne CBD with “the exec team”. Exactly one week before (25 August) Mr Cowie’s email to staff said “we have received some pricing for what could be a good first site for a shire planning presence in the CBD”. “I will be inviting several key officers for a look at the office space on Friday 1 September.”

THE wind started blowing at 12.20pm, a belligerent blast out of the west, with a hint of rain and heavy, grey clouds rolling overhead. A eucalyptus branch crashed into the clearing and canvas marquees housing exhibits for BERG Mt Martha’s family day at the old campsite in Mirang Avenue started flapping. When exhibits started flying off the tables it was time to start packing up. Two hours earlier, in bright sunshine, more than 200 adult and children visitors chatted to BERG MM members wearing white t-shirts with the distinctive green, blue and grey

Community priorities ‘reflected’ in budget EXTRA spending on capital works and community services are features of the proposed Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s 2018-19 budget released last week. The document, which is on public exhibition until Thursday 26 April, reflects the priorities identified by members of the community, the mayor Cr Bryan Payne said. “It provides ongoing service improvements and infrastructure enhancements within the current financial environment”. The state government has again capped rate rises at 2.25 per cent. The mayor said the waste service charge, based on full cost recovery, was proposed to increase by 10 per cent – to $217 – driven by an increase in waste costs. The proposed capital works budget is $52 million. “Big ticket” items include $5 million for the

preliminary phases of the Rosebud Aquatic Centre; $4.9 million for Somerville Recreation and Community Centre; $18.6 million for buildings renewals and upgrades; $9 million for roads and traffic management; $7.4 million parks, open spaces and streetscapes; $4.3 million recreational leisure and community facilities (excluding Somerville Recreation and Community Centre). The mayor said projects in the proposed $2.3 million priority projects program include township planning, footpath network condition data and video survey, management of high risk trees, coastal vegetation enhancement, bay trails and strategic network paths, coastal management plans for Mt Eliza and Portsea and Southern Peninsula traffic congestion management.

Expert to inspect estuary works PHIL Moors, the former head of the Royal Botanic Gardens, will visit Balcombe Estuary this month to inspect restoration works financed by the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust. The trust, chaired by Dr Moors, last year granted $30,000 to Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group Mt Martha for habitat restoration works on the north bank of the Balcombe Estuary Reserves. This inspired other donors to give $70,000 which will be used for follow-up on this and other projects in the reserves. The trust grant was spent largely on weed

control in Maude Street, Mt Martha, followed by replanting with indigenous trees and shrubs to increase the diversity of the regenerating bushland. Some of the other money will be used to pay for a flora and fauna survey of estuary reserves to help assess progress since the surveys undertaken 15 years ago. Dr Moors and his wife Debra will be shown the result of the works and those in an adjoining control burn site by BERG MM’s president Dr Graham Hubbard and field officer Liz Barraclough.

Policy to avoid event clash MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will develop a “comprehensive events policy” which should go some way towards preventing a possible clash of dates between competing events as occurred last month. The policy will draw on the shire’s experiences in the 3-4 March “double booking” which allowed the Sufferfest Triathlon to be held on the same day in Mt Martha as the 19th successive Clean-up Australia Day event. Briars ward’s Cr Sam Hearn – whose ward hosted both events – last week moved that shire officers conduct a briefing and councillor workshop on the policy by 30 June. This will provide for a “clear decision-making

framework that identifies the economic, environmental and social costs and benefits to the community of any event, and outlines appropriate pricing guidelines that address not-for-profit, community, and for profit events”. In the briefing, officers will “detail the current calendar of events undertaken, promoted or approved by the shire and provide recommendations as to any other such events that should be included in such calendar”. Former mayor Cr Bev Colomb, also of Briars ward, said last month she was “hugely disappointed with the unfortunate clash of dates” which she feared could jeopardise the success of the clean-up event.

“The council totally supports CleanUp Australia Day and I have worked with these people for years,” she said then. I think that big events should come through the council now that we have so many [rather than going to shire officers for approval]. Current mayor Cr Bryan Payne said at the time the council was “very concerned and is seeking some changes to the way we do things so we are all on the ‘same page. There was some confusion,” he said. “We thought we had fixed it up last year but there was a clash again. We have asked officers to review our procedures so it doesn’t happen again.” Stephen Taylor

All jokes aside, Ron’s found ‘bliss’ Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

RON Gilbert made a practical joke out of a grave situation. Picture: Keith Platt

RON Gilbert was a bit of a joker. He saw the bright side of things. He wasn't afraid to poke a bit of fun at society's sacred cows and was irreverent to the end. Mr Gilbert, 94, died on 31 October last year, just on eight years after posing for photographs at Mornington cemetery next to a headstone that bore his name. "I've got one foot in a grave," he said at the time, with a twinkle in his eye. He now has two. Mr Gilbert was practical and gave a stonemason instructions to include his name on a headstone that was being restored over the grave his wife Margaret shared with her great grandparents, William and Mary Hirons, who died in 1872 and 1888. He figured it was "easier for the kids" to have his name added at the same time the historic headstone was refurbished ("Ron laughs at grave situation" The News 18/11/10). A former engineer - 15 years with the railways and 27 years with the State Electricity Commission of Victoria – Ron Gilbert was then living in Mt Martha and relished the jibes from friends about having his name on a headstone: "ahead of his time", "dead but won't lie down", "just likes to see his name in print" and "some blokes will do anything to get their names in the paper". "Not everybody described [dad's attitude] as humour," his son Tony Gilbert told The News last week. The pre-prepared headstone was an

ongoing joke that Ronald Claude Gilbert dined out on for years. Tony Gilbert says his father's computer files on the family history reflect his calm approach to death. "He's put down the time of his death as being 'sometime before 2030' and described death as 'bliss'. He'd be in bliss once he was gone." Ron Gilbert had a fall earlier in mid2017 and spent his final months in a Mornington nursing home. "He was still bright as a button and cheeky, but he didn't want to be looked after," Tony Gilbert says. "He confounded the health care people. If they asked how he was he'd always answer 'I'm doing OK'. "A day or two before he died I went to see him and he was sitting in a chair with his pyjamas still on saying he couldn't stay in bed during the day. "The next day he did stay in bed and when they came round offering ice cream for lunch he refused, telling them 'that's not lunch', which was something he would have remembered his mother saying to him." Tony Gilbert thinks his father's healthy scepticism and high regard for people from all walks of life dates back to a tram ride as a young man. Originally from Stawell, Ron Gilbert apparently sat next to and spoke with the then state attorney general who assured him that "no one is special". Ron carried that thought with him for life, treating all comers as equals. "He'd say 'no one is lesser and no one is better'," says his son. Ron Gilbert is survived by his son, daughters Lou and Ros, and six grandchildren.

NEWS DESK A way to get out and about A VOLUNTEER service which aims to end social isolation and loneliness is offering Frankston and Mornington Peninsula residents a door-to-door service to activities or outings. Peninsula Social Club is an initiative of Peninsula Transport Assist – a community transport service with about 70 volunteer drivers who use their own cars or PTA minibuses as community transport. Peninsula Social Club coordinator Penny Redenbach said poor health, bereavement, retirement or becoming a carer can increase people’s risk of loneliness and isolation. “We believe that by getting out of the house on a regular basis, meeting new people over lunch or a social outing will be highly beneficial to their health and wellbeing,” she said. Activities and outings include lunches at Mornington, Rosebud, Hastings and Langwarrin hotels; Morning Melodies lunches and shows at New Atrium, Safety Beach, or The Sands, Carrum Downs, as well as outings to Coolart Homestead, McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery, and Tyabb Antiques. The social club is looking for volunteer drivers and others to assist clients on their outings. Details: email SocialClub@ PeninsulaTransportAssist.org or call 5971 5210.

Fun run organiser’s race for life By Michael Cummings*

Fighting on: Geoff Nyssen shows no outward sign of illness as he marshalls entrants in this year’s MY Mt Eliza Run & Fun Festival. Picture: Supplied

AS Geoff Nyssen, a towering figure in a bright orange t-shirt with a loud hailer in hand, marshalled hundreds of walkers and runners near the start line, no one would have suspected his cancer has returned. The organiser of the MY Mt Eliza Run & Fun Festival on Sunday 25 March was a ball of enthusiastic energy at the event he founded in 2017 to raise funds for the battle against myeloma, the terminal blood cancer he was diagnosed with four years ago. The event – attended by about 800 with 600 registered participants - is a public symbol of Mr Nyssen’s personal fight against the disease. “It’s something that I can do. I’m not working at the moment so it’s something I can do at my pace … and helps give me purpose,” he says. “I see the benefits it gives to the community and the fact that it raises a great amount of money and awareness for Myeloma Australia, I find that very rewarding.” Among those at the festival were more than a dozen Ryman Healthcare staff, who ran the barbecue, manned water stations and offered words of encouragement to participants as they made their way around a five or 10 kilometre course at Mt Eliza Regional Park. Mr Nyssen says the event wouldn’t be possible without the support of organisations like Ryman Healthcare, led by group sales and community relations manager Debbie McClure and Victoria community relations team

leader Denise Thompson. It was a month after his 40th birthday in 2014 when Mr Nyssen was diagnosed with myeloma. The average age of those diagnosed with the disease is 70, so he is young to be affected by it. He was given about 10 years to live, “but I don’t buy into that”. Prognoses, he says, are merely statistics calculated by looking at what’s happened to other people in the past. “They’re backward-looking – with my mindset and my abilities I look forward. I’ll be dancing a jig at my 80th birthday and you’ll be invited to the party.” He knows he has an almighty battle ahead of him to get there, though. He’s gone through two stem cell transplants, the most recent one late last year with cells donated by his brother. “The cancer is coming back. Before it takes hold we’ve got to rely on the stem cells taking effect or there will be more chemo.” But before he looks too far ahead, Mr Nyssen is soaking up the satisfaction of pulling off another successful community event. The importance of what he achieved hit home the night of the festival as he tucked in his two tired children, Georgia, nine, and Riley, 12. “They really felt part of the day. It was something my friends and I – my community – created for them.” * Michael Cummings is a communications advisor working for Ryman Healthcare.

With Neil Walker

Taggers targeted A GROUP of graffiti vandals have seen their tagging days and nights curtailed after a major police operation saw 10 people across Melbourne, including one in Seaford, charged with various offences. Operation Samurai targeted nine properties that were raided by transit police in the early hours of Tuesday morning (27 March). Transit police allege those arrested were involved in graffiti tagging on trains and infrastructure across Melbourne’s rail network. More than 700 charges were laid including conduct endangering life, criminal damage, burglary and trespass. Police from Transit’s Divisional Response Unit and the Critical Incident Response Team seized allegedly stolen goods worth more than $100,000 in total. Two cars, cannabis plants, ecstasy and ice, cash, laptops, phones, memory cards and hard drives were also seized during the raids. “We’ve seen horrific injuries and even deaths as a result of the risky behaviour people engage it to commit these offences so we take it extremely seriously,” Acting Superintendent Andrew Gustke said. “This type of offending is often a gateway crime to much more serious offending where we see young people becoming embedded in a culture of crime. “This culture can lead to robbery, armed robbery and other serious crimes against the person, which is why we do everything we can to target these vandals as early as possible.” Properties at Seaford, Truganina, Al-

tona, Yarraville, Brunswick, Tarneit and West Footscray were raided by police. A 30-year-old Seaford man was among the ten alleged graffiti vandals charged. Arson and explosives experts were called to a Yarraville property after explosive devices were found inside one of the seized cars.

Easy entries POLICE are asking people to stop making it easy for burglars to enter homes amid a spree of burglaries in Langwarrin where intruders gained entry through open doors or windows. Senior Sergeant Steve Fyfe, of Frankston CIU, says police have been investigating several thefts from homes where offenders have entered through unlocked or open doors and windows. “Everyone needs to take responsibility for their own property and unfortunately it’s not a good idea to leave doors open at night even to let cooler air in,” he said. In one incident, a male victim in his 30s living in Bottlebrush Court chased a burglar towards Quarry Road. There had been three burglaries on Friday 23 March and Saturday 24 March in the area at Quarry Road, Bottlebrush Court and Honeymyrtle Court. The fleeing burglar was described as being in his mid-20s, caucasian and wearing shorts with no T-shirt or shoes. He had a mullet hairstyle and seemed to be “substance affected”.

Body found in car Firefighters discovered a man’s body in a car when called out to a vehicle blaze at about 7pm on Wednes-

3 April 2018

day 28 March on Golf Links Road in Frankston South. Police are investigating the circumstances of the death. The man was identified as an 83-year-old. The death is not deemed suspicious. It is believed the driver may have had a heart attack.

Thirsty thief

POLICE are searching for a thirsty thief who used a stolen bank card to make a number of purchases, including a strawberry milk drink. Investigators have been told an offender entered the female change rooms of a soccer club on Monterey Boulevard, Frankston sometime between 3-4.15pm on Sunday 25 March. It is believed they went through a bag and took a number of items, including a black Mimco wallet, Tiffany necklace, bank cards, ID cards and a small amount of cash. A bank card was used later that day between 4.15-4.40pm at a number of locations in Frankston, including a convenience store, supermarket and petrol station. The card is believed to have been used by a man at the Seaford Road petrol station, who had stopped to fuel up on a strawberry milk beverage. Police have released images, right, of a man they believe may be able to help with their enquiries. He is of Caucasian appearance, about 178cm tall and aged between 22 and 25 years old with a slim build and fair hair. He was wearing a black T-shirt and pants.

Failed transaction

Police are appealing for public help after burglars attempted to steal an ATM at a Langwarrin shopping centre, below, early on Monday (26 March). Police have been told unknown offenders attended a shopping centre in an unknown vehicle on FrankstonCranbourne Road sometime before 2am. It is believed they forced entry via electronic doors and used a chain to secure an ATM inside the centre. They attempted to drag the machine however they were unsuccessful and fled the scene, leaving tyre marks outside the doors. Staff from the bakery discovered the damage and called police. Frankston Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating and are keen to speak to anyone that may have seen any suspicious activity in the area.

Win for off-leash dogs at McCrae DOG owners will soon be able to legally let their dogs off the leash during winter on a 300 metre strip of beach at McCrae. Mornington Peninsula Shire last agreed to loosen restrictions at the beach outside of the daylight savings time. However, dogs will not be allowed on the beach 9am-7pm during daylight saving. The council has also been told that more research is needed into whether to the 300 metre leash-free strip of beach should be extended by 350 metres. Notice of the changes at McCrae will be published in the Government Gazette and community newspapers. Meanwhile, the shire has not responded to several requests from The News for comment on the leash-free status of Mt Martha Beach North. A signs at the top of an access track off the Esplanade between Helena and Augusta streets says dogs are allowed on the beach outside of daylight savings time. The beach, less than 100 metres in length, has been visited more than 40 times by shire rangers since October. Although no one has been fined, dog owners have been told to get their pets off the beach. However, photographs taken over a period of three years clearly show a sign proclaiming the beach as being leash-free. The sign, along with wooden access steps, was washed away during storms. The steps and the sign were replaced several times. It appears the sign was not replaced when a rock revetment wall was installed a couple of years ago. Work is expected to begin this month on another rock wall behind bathing boxes to the south of the beach. The boxes have been battered by storms and several have been demolished over summer. The changes to leash-free times at McCrae followed a 442-signature petition asking that

restrictions be removed and brought into line with those at nearby Rosebud. Environment protection manager John Rankine told councillors in July 2017 that dog ownership in the shire was higher than the national average and a review of leash-free areas was part of the 2017-2021 domestic animal management plan. In answer to a question from Ron Moore, Mr

Rankine said he had been unable to find any records to “unearth the reasons” for winter restrictions McCrae beach (“Dog owners seek their last winter of discontent” The News 1.8.17). “At that time 10 years ago, there was some controversy around the leash-free conditions. We know that the council at the time adopted a position that did place restrictions during the winter on the beach.” Keith Platt

A NARRATIVE chamber opera on an iconic local theme: the convict William Buckley, is being readied for presentation next year. Rye opera singer and conductor Antony Ransome and librettist, writer and local historian Richard Cotter, have written the work about Buckley’s extraordinary life in a strange new land. The opera covers his experiences in the Collins Settlement at Sorrento in 1803, his escape and subsequent joining of an Aboriginal group with who he ranged across the Port Phillip region for the next 32 years. Ransome said he had wanted to perform the opera at the settlement site, but the logistics proved “too complex” and the venue will now be the Memorial Hall, Rosebud, 4-5 May 2019. Signings so far include a stage director and a leading baritone in the role of Buckley, as well as a First Nations soprano in the role of Purran-Murnin – Buckley’s wife in the Wathaurong group. To help raise consciousness about the project soprano Shauntai Batzke will sing at a launch at the Collins Settlement, Sunday 15 April. There, Cotter will talk about the project’s historical background. Ransome and the Astral Theatre Society Rosebud are looking for a singer or backstage hand for the project. They should call the composer on 0403 216 410. Tax deductible contributions can be made online at australianculturalfund.org.au (The Buckley opera).

Primary pupils rise to the challenge SORRENTO Primary School pupils won the annual Primary School Lawn Bowls Challenge at Sorrento Bowls Club last week. They edged Red Hill Consolidated School into second place in the contest which involved 54 children in years 5 and 6. Teams from Rosebud and Eastbourne primary schools were close behind the winner in a match that involved three games culminating in a grand final. This year the annual event is included in Bowls Victoria’s Summer Lightning Premierships.

The Sorrento team will head to Hampton Bowling Club on Monday 23 April to represent the Southern Peninsula Division at the School Sport Victoria final against the best school teams from Port Melbourne to Portsea. Sorrento Bowls Club members acted as official markers and measurers during the event with ladies bowls manager Ann Walsh – the official umpire on the day – jetting off afterwards officiate at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. The event was co-ordinated by

Sorrento Primary School PE teacher Michelle Richens. All players received certificates for their efforts. Sportsmanship was emphasised on the green and medallions were presented to several individual players who demonstrated outstanding qualities, enthusiasm, energy and effort. Trophies were presented to the winner and runner-up and medallions from Bowls Victoria and Peninsula Casey region were presented to members of the two top teams.

THE chance to win a prize is luring anglers and divers frequenting Western Port and Port Phillip bays to complete an online survey for the Victorian Fisheries Authority. The survey will gather information about how often people fish, the species they target, favourite fishing spots and their opinions on a range of topics, including some size and bag limits. “Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a draw for one of 30 spinning reels valued at $239 each,” the authority’s CEO Travis Dowling said. “The survey delivers on a commitment in the state government’s Target One Million plan, which is investing $46 million – including $9 million from recreational fishing licence fees – to get more people fishing more often.” Mr Dowling said the survey would help the authority better understand participants’ views, invest in the right areas and make more informed choices about improving recreational fishing opportunities. Survey forms have been emailed to those who bought state fishing licences online over the past five years. Others can visit fishsurvey.com.au or see Fisheries’ pages on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Dogs have their day SIX greyhounds from the RSPCA’s Peninsula shelter at Pearcedale were rehomed during the “50 Shades of Grey-hounds” adoption promotion last month. “We are delighted that 20 greyhounds found their forever home,” animal care manager Liz Walker said. “It’s wonderful to think of them curled up on a couch with their new family.” Details: visit rspcavic.org

Retired nurse enjoys ‘giving back’ HASTINGS volunteer Sue King is out to encourage more people to be involved with Peninsula Health’s community advisory group. “I was coming up to retirement and thought I needed to do some voluntary work,” she said. “I’d done some social voluntary work through sporting clubs over the years and I thought I want something to do so I came to the Western Port Community Advisory Group meeting and found it quite interesting.” Now, years later, Ms King is encouraging others to join the group. “We need more members from a diverse range of backgrounds across Western Port so we can have a good representation of the whole area,” says Ms King, who has lived at Hastings for 42 years. “If you come along you’ll meet lots of new people, have lots of education sessions, learn all about Peninsula Health and you’ll be able to then

take that information out into the community.” Consumer representatives aim to help planning and delivery, and improve services to achieve the best health outcomes. “We get told about all the services available across the whole of Peninsula Health and we then pass that information onto our friends and other groups we’re involved in,” Ms King said. Ms King was a registered nurse at primary schools, GP clinics and a nursing home. “Having worked in the nursing sector for so long it’s interesting to see how it’s changed and how Peninsula Health moves with the times,” she said. The NDIS and children’s health are two topics that have recently been on the agenda at the meetings, with guest presenters informing CAG members about updates in the areas. The Western Port CAG meets bi-monthly and looking for new members. Details: peninsulahealth.org.au

Chantelle James, left, and Heidi Garac, above, receiving their Victorian School Sports Awards

Sports awards for juniors BASKETBALLER Chantelle James, of Dromana Primary School, and netballer Heidi Garac, formerly of Eastbourne Primary School, Rosebud, received awards at the MCG. They were among 43 junior athletes to be presented with Sporting Blue medals during the Victorian School Sports Awards. Education minister James Merlino joined distance runner Steve Moneghetti and Olympians Brooke Stratton, Jared Tallent, Catherine Skinner and Alec Potts, to celebrate the achievements of the students, their teachers, volunteers and schools.

Mr Merlino said he was “proud to play a role in honouring the students’ strength, patience, discipline and fairness”. “We know that sport is a vital force for good in young people’s lives that helps them make connections, work together and reach their full potential – that’s why we’re building new sporting facilities and investing in our kids.” Eastern Victoria Region MP Daniel Mulino said the awards acknowledged the “hard work and dedication of Victoria’s next generation of sporting stars”. “These talented young athletes have a bright future ahead of them,” he said.

Union moves to protect jobs at shire Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Fair Work Commission may be asked to intervene in the “restructuring” of a department by Mornington Peninsula Shire. It is understood that the nearly 40-strong shire’s rangers and local laws team have been told they may be facing redundancies or have to reapply for their positions. Environment protection manager John Rankine told The News on Friday 9 March that the shire was yet to make a decision. “The shire is currently undertaking a consultation process with its staff and it is inappropriate to comment while the staff consultation phase is underway,” Mr Rankine said. “The shire respects the consultation process for its team members.” Mr Rankine did not respond to questions about why the changes were being made or if councillors had been told. Australian Services Union organiser Ty Lockwood said on Monday 26 March he would lodge a dispute application with the Fair Work Commis-

sion if he was unable to reach agreement with the shire last week. He planned to meet later in the week with Vicki Bishop, the shire’s change management facilitator. In a letter to compliance staff earlier this month Mr Lockwood said the shire’s restructure proposed making some positions redundant “and a number of newly created positions at a higher classification banding have been proposed as replacements”. He said the ASU had a “different view” to how the shire was implementing its “redeployment process”. The shire and the union has “respectfully agreed to disagree” on interpretations of the shire’s staff enterprise agreement. Mr Lockwood said any application to involve the Fair Work Commission would be aimed to resolving the dispute “as to not necessarily delay this process more than required”. “We understand this is an anxious time for all members involved and our aim is to handle this process with respect and to ensure job security is the highest priority,” he said.

DESIGN PERFECTION ON THE WATER PERFECTLY designed to capture a northerly aspect, this astounding tri-level home, part of the exclusive Martha Cove precinct, delivers the utmost in luxury and quality. From the wide floorboards to the angled ceilings and feature stone walls, to the lift and commercialgrade German-designed tilted window systems, a breathtaking array of superb fittings and finishes sourced from around the world have created what is an inspiring interior design that demonstrates true ingenuity. The three expansive levels are complemented by the superior waterfront entertaining deck housing a swim spa, and just steps away is your own deepwater boat mooring. From street level, an aggregate paved driveway leads to a double garage which has internal access to a utility room. The long hallway sweeps past two bedrooms that share a bathroom and powder room, and upon the custommade sweeping staircases the first of two delicious choices awaits you. Straight ahead takes to the magnificent master bedroom wing complete with a fully-fitted dressing room and quite literally the most incredible ensuite you will see boasts beautiful river pebble floors, a suspended marble vanity, deluxe rain shower and all decorated with a lush assortment of tropical ferns and succulents. To top it all off, a private balcony affords a wonderful view across the marina to Mount Martha. Moving downstairs, the vast openplan lounge and dining room reveals limestone feature walls and a striking Cheminees Philippe French fireplace. The adjoining kitchen has porcelain bench tops and a range of first-class appliances include a dishwasher, induction cook top, steam and pyrolytic oven, and a caterer’s open pantry has a second wash area. Opening from the lounge is the magnificent timber deck underneath a pergola opening roof that overlooks the swim spa, securely set behind glass balustrades. Five star opulence can usually come at the expense of energy efficiency, which is pleasingly not the case here. With special ozone panel insulation, clever cross-flow ventilation, hydronic heating, double glazing and twenty solar panels, this as-new home – only 18 months – absolutely embodies some of the finest innovations of 21st century living.n

THE ESSENCE OF TRADITIONAL LIVING BUILT in 1961, this one-owner home is set on a magnificent 3540 square metre block with an elevated position that takes advantage of a sunny northerly aspect with a pleasant view over the treetops. A sweeping driveway eagerly draws you in to reveal the true beauty of this vintage cream brick house, complete with an in-ground pool that takes centre stage on the rolling lawns. Meticulously maintained and welcomingly warm, you can entertain guests out on the front terrace under the pergola, or once inside be absolutely charmed by the timber-lined lounge room with gas fireplace. A separate dining room has been extended to now incorporate a lovely bay window, and in more recent times, the kitchen has also been updated with a pleasant neutral colour scheme. Three bedrooms are all delightfully kitsch, especially the main bedroom with a wall of built-in robes, a central dressing table and a unique shoe cupboard under the window. For its time, the bathroom was quite glamorous with a separate toilet and a bidet, and now boasts a walk-in shower, spa bath and a double vanity. Downstairs, the former double garage is now a large rumpus room with a secret underground cellar attached, however there is a double carport plus workshop.n

WHAT’S NEW...

Technology the way of the future for Dromana College AT Dromana College, the newly refurbished Technology Centre has been equipped with state-of-the-art digital and systems technology. This allows a unique experience in STEAM education. STEAM is an interdisciplinary approach to learning that removes the traditional barriers separating the five disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. When these fields are brought together, more meaningful learning can take place. STEAM integrates these subjects into real world learning experiences. Since 2015 our students have participated in an annual STEAM Immersion Day where they undertake workshops with local scientists, designers, innovators and artists and work collaboratively to produce innovative designed solutions. Students have also participated in the following STEAM experiences: n STEAM Club – which runs every Tuesday morning from 7:15am – 8:15am and encompasses activities such as coding and robotics, 3D construction and digital design. n Use of multiple 3D printers – incorporating fusion 360 CAD software to design and develop real products. n HPV – Human Powered Vehicle team that competes across the state and includes a team of riders, engineers and technicians who utilise everything from vinyl cutters to lathes and C&C mills to produce a race ready vehicle.

n Use of laser cutters – to design and construct solutions with absolute precision, making use of a range of digital design software to produce products of commercial quality. Our students are also provided with opportunities to extend their knowledge and inspire their curiosity of Science and Technology by attending various Science programs both inside and outside of the school. These programs include: n GTAC – using modern gene technology in a specialist scientific laboratory setting n Wild Action – students are given the opportunity to interact with zoologists and zookeepers and their animals while learning about biodiversity and conservation. n Environmental Sampling – students are assisted by local rangers to use technology to monitor ecosystems on the Mornington Peninsula. n LEAP Education – university students run hands on activities with our students in the fields of Health Science and Engineering and Design. n We have an affiliation with an Australian Ambassador for NASA who runs presentations on current missions n BioEYES – a week-long hands on program where students raise and study zebrafish from embryos. n Access Monash - Field Geologists assist students to use modern technology to complete a series of hands on activities based around

Geology and Earth Science. Bi-annually, STEAM students from Dromana College are given the opportunity to attend a Space Camp in the United States. This involves 13 days of touring and working in NASA Space facilities and is a great opportunity for students who wish to pursue a career in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics. Students will learn leadership and teamwork skills, flying Space Shuttle simulators and scuba diving at the Advanced Space Academy. The students also spend time living and training as an Astronaut Pilot or Mission Specialist with students from all over the world at the Rocket Centre in Huntsville Alabama. Students have a behind the scenes look at EPCOT, Magic Kingdom and MGM Hollywood Studios at Disneyworld and learn about the ‘Properties of Motion Physics’ and the ‘Evolution of Technology’ via the Disney’s Youth Education Series (Y.E.S) Science programs. Students will also visit the Kennedy Space Centre Visitor Complex that has been NASA’s primary launch centre for human spaceflight. They will meet and have lunch with an Astronaut and see the Space Shuttle Atlantis and Apollo Saturn V Moon Rocket. Students will join the journey where the Mercury and Gemini missions sparked American space travel and the Apollo missions inspired a generation.

THE Mental Health EXPO Planning Group invites you to their 4th annual EXPO to be held in Hastings on Friday 20 April 2018. The EXPO has grown each year since 2015 when 145 people attended to having over 300 people attend in 2018. The value of the EXPO is reflected in the comments from attendees such as… “Wonderful support and opportunity to acquire help needed for all.” “It is often difficult to seek or accept help. This is an excellent, warm & friendly forum to do so.” “I found there were a number of services out there that I did not know about.” “There is something for everybody!” “Inspiring, courageous, beautifully presented.” “Informative, welcoming environment, uplifting and increases knowledge of services.” “Raising others awareness positively and encouraging conversation is key to improved support.” You may well ask, “why have this type of EXPO”? The reason is simple: in Australia, one in five people will experience a mental illness at some stage of their life, including conditions such as depression, anxiety and alcohol or other substance abuse disorders. People experiencing mental illness can be debilitated with effects impacting on all areas of their lives from employment, to relationships, to everyday functioning. It is widely recognised that including families/

carers in the “recovery” process (i.e. in decisions and actions regarding planning, setting goals, treatment methods etc) generally produces a better, longer term outcome for people with mental illness. However, people experiencing mental health issues and their families frequently find it difficult to access appropriate information about support services that might be helpful to their needs and situation. Along with this, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will be commencing in the Peninsula area in April 2018. Whilst it is hoped the NDIS will provide many positive opportunities for people with psychosocial disability, it is recognised that people are unsure about the details of the Scheme including eligibility, access and the process involved. Via this FREE local Mental Health community information event you will learn about the nuts and bolts of the NDIS as well meeting up with services that may be able to help you and are available in the Hastings and wider Peninsula areas for people affected by mental illness and their families. Find answers to the questions… NDIS: What is it? Am I eligible? How do I apply? What supports are out there? How do I get help? Date: Friday 20 April 2018 Time: 10 am – 2 pm Venue: Hastings Community Hub (1973 Frankston Flinders Road, Hastings) Cost: FREE including food and giveaways

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Peninsula men wounded Compiled by Brodie Cowburn IN the 387th casualty list published on Saturday, appear the names of F. Garlick, Mornington, wounded, and T. W. Birch, Langwarrin, seriously ill. We trust both these Peninsula soldiers will have a speedy restoration to health. *** SERGEANT W. M. Green, son of Mr and Mrs W. M. Green, of Mornington Junction, has, after a course at New College, Oxford, gained his commission. Lieutenant Green enlisted in March 1915, and saw service in Gallipoli, where he was awarded the Distinguished Counduct Medal, and also in France. *** THE adjourned meeting for the purpose of deciding what form the proposed memorial to perpetuate the memory of the late Sir John Madden would take was held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday evening, the President of the Shire (Cr W. J. Oates) being in the chair. After the matter had been freely discussed and various schemes suggested, it was finally decided, on the motion of Constable Ryan, seconded by Mr Hunt, “That a new hall be erected on the ground adjoining the Mechanics’ Institute to the memory of the late Sir John Madden, to be called ‘The Madden Memorial Hall’, and that any funds raised for this special object shall not be devoted to the enlargement of the present hall, but if the funds raised are insufficient

for the object suggested the money to be devoted to some other form of memorial, to be decided by a general meeting of subscribers.” *** WIDESPREAD regret was expressed in this district when the news of the death of Mrs Herb. Knox, of Hastings was received. The deceased lady who was very well known in Somerville, was a niece of Mr G. Keast, and for some time before her marriage assisted him in his shop, where by her unfailing courtesy and attention she made many friends. Deep sympathy is expressed for her bereaved husband and relatives in their sad loss. The funeral took place at Frankston on Thursday, a large number of friends following the remains to their last resting place. The mortuary arrangements were carried out by Mr Gamble, of Frankston. *** THE engagement is announced of Miss Kathleen L. Campbell, third daughter of Major and Mrs C. W. Campbell, Dendy St, Middle Brighton, (formerly of “Amesfield Park” Mornington Rd) to Mr Ronald Peck (A I.F ) 2nd son of Mr and Mrs Arthur Peck, Olinda Road, Caulfield. *** MR C. P. Watson, who for some years was manager of the local branch of the State Savings Bank, visited Frankston during the holidays. He was accompanied by his wife, and they received a warm welcome from their friends. *** AN old Frankston resident, Mr J.

Watson, paid us a visit during the holidays. He was accorded a hearty welcome by a large circle of friends who expressed great pleasure in having the genial Mr Watson among them once again. *** A VERY pretty wedding was celebrated at St Paul’s Church of England, Frankston, on Saturday, March 30th, by the Rev A. P. McFarlane, the contracting parties being Miss Laura Francis, of Bairnsdale, and Mr L. W. Jackson, of Frankston. After the ceremony, the bridal party motored to the residence of Mr A. Bath, where about fifty guests partook of a sumptuous wedding breakfast. After the usual toasts had been honored, the happy couple left for Healesville, where the honeymoon was spent. *** GREAT success attended the effort of the committee of the bazaar and baby show held at Hastings on Easter Saturday and Monday, to raise funds to reduce the debt on the Hastings hall. The bazaar, which was officially opened by Hon. A. Downward, was well patronised at every session, and the stallholders were kept busy supplying the wants of their patrons. Keen interest was evinced in the various competitions, but the greatest attraction proved to be the baby show. Over sixty entries were received, and the judge, Dr Plowman, had great difficulty in placing the one which in his opinion was the most perfect in his or her class. It was truly a case of:— “Babies to the right of him Babies to

the left of him Babies all round him” though, in the words of the judge himself “there was not a whimper out of them.” *** THE effort at the Hastings local school in aid of funds for the State War Council, resulted in the sum of £10 being raised. This amount has been forwarded through the Secretary for Education. *** THERE was a crowded house at the concert held in the Frankston Mechanics’ on Easter Saturday night, in aid of the Repatriation Fund. The concert was held under auspices of the Red Cross Society, and the programme was arranged by the Presbyterian Young Man’s Union who held their Easter Camp at Frankston. The seating accomodation of the hall again proved quite inadequate, and in spite of the utmost crushing, many would be patrons were unable to gain admission. The shire president, Cr W. J. Oates, occupied the chair. *** WHILST out riding last Tuesday, Dr Griffeth of Somerville had a fall from his horse and received a fractured shoulder. We trust he will soon recover. *** THE 23rd half yearly meeting of the Langwarrin Progress Association was held in the vestry of the Methodist Church, on Monday evening, March 25th. Mr J. N. Marsh occupied the chair. Owing to wet weather conditions

there was but a small attendance of members; however the report showed that many matters of local importance had been attended to during the half year, and although the association had been unsuccessful in having better accommodation provided at the railway station for handling goods and produce, it was hoped that a proper goods shed would be provided in the near future. *** THE attention of our readers is again directed to the advertisement of the sale of the Tower Hill poultry farm which will be conducted by Messrs Brody and Mason today (Saturday) Full particulars are advertised. *** YOUNG MAN WANTS WORK Frankston-Mornington district. Good carpenter, painter; &c., or manage farm. Experienced orchardist, stockkeeper, dairy and pigs, Successful exhibitor. Has all tools, some machinery and assistance, if required.

Do you suffer foot, knee or leg pain? Sore Feet or Legs? Occupational Therapy at St John of God Call OUR feet and legs are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our daily activities, so its no wonder most people suffer foot, knee or leg pain at some point in their lives. But what can you do about it? We asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics to shed some light on common foot and leg concerns: n The most common concerns include: knee pain, injuries and arthritis; heel, shin or forefoot pain; ankle and achilles concerns. n Many conditions are misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated, so its important to find an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist to assist. n Bad foot posture can continually pull your body out of alignment, which can contribute to postural aches / pains and undue stress on joints and tissues. n Early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis, nerve and circulatory problems often show themselves initially in the feet. n Traditional treatments such as cortisone, anti-inflammatory medications and joint arthroscopies are now outdated for many conditions such as joint arthritis and injuries, and have been found to delay healing and cause further tissue damage in many cases. n Regenerative medicine is now superseding the pharmaceutical and surgical approach, providing us with natural, safe and effective

In 2007 I packed up and went to Ceduna on the Nullarbor Plain to work in aboriginal communities,” says Dr Albery, who ended up staying there for four years. “I helped to set up a government clinic there and then came back to Mornington where I have opened my new practice, after encouragement by friends and relatives.”

Dental Studio 2-Twenty offers a boutique dental experience, with the latest technology, a brand new surgery, state of the art equipment, and the bonus of three decades of experience treating people. Dr Albery has undertaken advanced training in crown, bridge and implants dentistry, and completed his Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in Myofascial Acupuncture.

Oncology rehabilitation program TREATMENT for cancer may cause fatigue however taking part in a regular structured exercise program is important in many ways including a greater sense of wellbeing. St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital’s Outpatient Oncology Rehabilitation program is a 6 week, twice per week program, which incorporates information sessions, meditation, tai chi, exercise and hydrotherapy, if suitable for you. The program is tailored to meet your needs and goals. How it might help: The information sessions are interactive and discuss topics that can assist you in your day-to-day life, such as healthy food choices, tips on managing stress, pacing yourself through the day, and the benefits of exercise. The meditation session, guided by Rivka, Occupational Therapist, is a weekly 30-minute session to help you wind down and refocus, which compliments the tai chi session that provides whole body movement whilst concentrating on the correct moves. It is a body and brain workout, which for 30 minutes helps you free your mind and is a great way to reduce tension. Tai chi is also assists balance, posture and breathing. The exercise session is 60 minutes of light to moderate exercise with Exercise Physiologist (EP), Sam.

Sam will see you prior to commencing to assess your physical ability and individually tailor your exercise program. Hydrotherapy is new to oncology rehabilitation, but early research shows it is an effective method of exercise. The water is 34 degrees and whilst the water resistance provide a great workout, it is also a very relaxing session. Whilst patients are encouraged to participate, they know hydrotherapy is not for everyone, so an alternative gym session may be provided instead. What some of the attending patients have said: “I will strongly recommend the program to anyone requiring advice and help to improve their wellbeing and to aid their recovery after illness.” “Many thanks to the course leaders for their understanding and care.” “This program is invaluable not only for its exercise and information components but the social aspect with others in a similar situation with constant monitoring all participants can work in their capabilities with friendly and attentive staff.” “This is an excellent program that needs to be available to as many people as possible.” “Thank you for the opportunity to participate.” “Inspirational.”

Positions are readily available; simply ask your Specialist or GP for a referral to one of the Rehabilitation Physicians who will complete a medical assessment for you to commence the program. You will then meet Rebecca, Oncology Rehabilitation Nurse and Sam and Rivka who will guide you through the 6-week program.

They also cater for patients who require inpatient rehabilitation, for those who have goals that are more easily meet with daily intensive therapy. If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact the hospital on 9788 3333 and ask to speak with Rebecca Nolan or Sam Buchanan.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Commander Parker and the Electric Seal Suit By Stuart McCullough SUDDENLY, I realized. Sitting on the couch, I experienced an epiphany, the likes of which I’d not had since I first laid eyes on the ‘Boating, Camping, Fishing’ advert a while back (the words ‘it’s BCFing fun’ are now seared on my mind like a grill-mark on a particularly large steak). We were watching series two of ‘The Crown’, which features the Duke of Edinburgh embarking on the naval equivalent of a Contiki Tour, when I was struck by the realization that I might have met one of the cast members. By ‘cast member’, I don’t mean one of the actors but one of the characters in this real-life drama. It’s at this point that I feel I should use the term ‘spoiler alert’. In this crazy, mixed up world of content on demand, not everyone will have caught up with ‘The Crown’. I’ll do my best not to reveal any major plot points, but that said, given that it’s based on historical events, I feel most of the major twists and turns are already in the public domain. If you’re not familiar with it, ‘The Crown’ is kind of like ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ but with corgis and more modest clothing. The Duke decides to go travelling on a really big boat with a bunch of navy people. The whole thing looks like an absolute hoot as HMS Fairstar the Funship visits various ports and everyone stocks up on as much duty free West Coast Cooler as they possibly can. There are beard growing competitions and, I imagine, a pretty robust trivia night on Tuesdays. As legend has it, this was the trip that

first inspired the Village People to write ‘In the Navy’. Again, not wishing to spoil it for those who’ve yet to watch series two, the general vibe of the trip is ‘Schoolies in uniform’. During this adventure, the Duke has a wingman. That wingman was an Australian, Commander Mike Parker. We were watching television when

it occurred to me that I had met a Commander Parker. ‘Commander’ is still a pretty unusual first name, and the fact that the Commander I’d met was also ‘Commander Parker’ got me wondering whether the Commander Parker I’d met was, in fact, the same Commander Parker featured in series two of The Crown.

Attention Schools, sporting clubs

I was a schoolboy when I met him. He was quite old. He certainly looked nothing like the actor who portrayed him, but it feels unfair to hold that against him. He ran something called the ‘Australia-Britain Society’ and they sponsored an event entitled the ‘Plain English Speaking Award’ in which I was a contestant. He was smaller than me – that much I remember – and was the poshest, most proper person I’d ever met. He was still referred to as ‘Commander Parker’ which, frankly, is the greatest DJ name of all time. As a contestant in the ‘Plain English Speaking Award’, I was severely out of my depth. The other competitors seemed to come from inner city schools and knew a lot more about pretty much everything. They were sophisticated – a charge that is yet to be leveled at me – and confident. I don’t know if they knew anything about the Commander’s history or the fact that he was a royal BFF, but I was profoundly clueless. In fact, I probably avoided speaking to him for most of the time for fear of not knowing what to say. One of the highlights of the competition was a dinner. Up to that time, I had never owned a suit and my parents bought me one for the occasion. I’d like to say that the suit was timeless when, in actual fact, it was around six minutes in 1987. By which I mean that it was the kind of suit that was briefly fashionable and, even then, tested the boundaries of good taste in the kind of way that leaves a couple of the fence palings broken. Not quite as tasteless a beard-growing

competition, but close. I’d say the suit was grey, but given the shiny nature of the acrylic fibre, perhaps silver is more accurate. It made me look like a bedazzled seal. Doubtless it had shoulder pads, and was a couple of sizes too big, meaning that the belt had some real work to do. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so out of place in all my life. In a ‘six degrees of Kevin Bacon’ sense, the fact I met the Commander puts me just two degrees between me and her Majesty. I’m not sure what kind of privileges this brings – whether I can Airbnb a stay at Windsor Castle or finally get myself one of those ‘VIP’ McDonald’s drivethru stickers that everyone except my family seemed to have on their cars back in the eighties. (A silver suit that generates so much static electricity when you walk that it can power a lamp is simply no substitute.) Point is, I can now refer to the Monarch as a ‘friend of a friend’. Not to give too much away, but Commander Parker left HMS Fairstar and returned to Australia. I won’t say anymore – you’ll have to watch it yourself. But apparently, he and the Duke remained close friends for the rest of the Commander’s life. Back then, all I saw was an old guy with a fancy title I didn’t understand. I couldn’t have imagined the kind of life he’d led. I suspect he was patient with me. I still have a medallion for participating in that speaking contest and I think I’ll dig it out. But I don’t have the suit. For that, we can all be grateful. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

THE MAVIS’S PINK PILLS 20TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR The Mavis’s announce a special 20th anniversary tour for those much loved Pink Pills. Darlings of a time when Rage and Recovery were a staple in the TV diet and Triple J was the on speed-dial… The Mavis’s rode the radio waves with their singles ‘Naughty Boy’ and ‘Cry’ on high rotation while they frequented the Hey Hey it’s Saturday stage. From Ballarat babes to national treasures, a tour with Kylie - the Impossible Princess and headliners of the summer festival circuit, The Mavis’s were a force to be reckoned with… Their sound was like ABBA through a Rock N’

Roll time machine, layered harmonies over menacing guitars. Their look was Make-up and Punk-Rock hair. The forefathers/mothers of cyber fashion that would take today’s youth to task. Their Platinum selling ARIA-nominated album ‘Pink Pills’, a pop masterpiece of the 90s continues to be a glittery jewel loved and praised by their die-hard fans… Now 20 years after it’s release - The Mavis’s are back! Celebrating the 20 year anniversary of their award winning and chart topping album pink pills, The Mavis’s are hitting the road to play a limited run of shows to celebrate. Featuring

DIRECT FROM THE

songs spanning all 3 albums of their career, original members Matt, Beki and Nik will be touring together for the first time in over 15 years. Best known for their chart topping single Cry, The Mavis’s were staples on the radio and the TV in the 90s with songs such as Thunder, Lever, Puberty Song and Naughty Boy. Always hard to pigeon hole, The Mavis’s’ sound walked a tightrope between lush, layered pop, space age dub and electro, and hard edged guitar driven rock… with the duelling male female/ brother sister vocals. Their hit album Pink Pills effortlessly combined all these sounds to create one of the most eclectic and exciting albums of the

nineties. So much so that it went on to achieve gold record status and was nominated for multiple ARIA awards. If you were there in the nineties you won’t want to miss the chance of reliving the experience of seeing The Mavis’s live and remembering why they had a reputation for delivering over their time consistent exciting fun live shows. And if you weren’t there, well now is your chance. The Mavis’s will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, on Friday 4 May.

Close results mark the start of Division One

DIVISION ONE

THE newly configured Division One of the MPNFL started with gusto on Friday 30 March and the first round threw up some very close finishes. Of the four games played by Saturday night, three of them had ten points or less in them at the final sirens. Meeting on Good Friday, Frankston Bombers and Mt Eliza kicked off the season. Mount Eliza jumped out the of the blocks and kicked four goals to one in the opening term, leaving Frankston Bombers stunned and set for a struggle. The stage was set though, and the Bombers trailed all day, and a final five goal flurry wasn’t enough to get them across the line. In the end, there was just two points in it but, as our friend Toe Punt would say, Mt Eliza walked away with the chocolates. The final score was 12.8 (80 to Mount Eliza and 11.12 (78) for the Bombers. Also on Good Friday, Bonbeach faced up against EdithvaleAspendale. Again, the stage was set early with Edithvale-Aspendale kicking away to a 25 point lead by the end of the first quarter, and Bonbeach never getting a sniff for the next three quarters. Edithvale-Aspendale ended the game with a 33 point margin, and would have been happy with the performance of their troops, with a total of ten goal-kickers in their 15 goal tally. On Saturday 31 March, Seaford Tigers took on Pines at Eric Bell Reserve. While there was only one point in it at the first change, Seaford soon pulled away from the Pythons. A last quarter push by Pines, nar-

rowing the margin from 15 points at the last change to five points at the final siren, left them just short of victory. The final score 13.13 (91) to Seaford and 13.8 (86) to the Pines. Rosebud faced Mornington at Olympic Oval. Although Rosebud led all day, they never really broke away. The biggest lead of the day wasn’t until the third quarter when Rosebud got 18 points out. Mornington managed to chip away in the last quarter, and would have walked away with the win had it not been for poor kicking. While Rosebud added two goals, four points in the last quarter, Mornington added three goals and six points. At the end of the day, Rosebud bagged the win; and testament to their performance was nine goalkickers for the day. The final score was 12.5 (77) to 9.13 (67). At press time (Saturday night), there was still one match to play. Sorrento Sharks were set to face Frankston YCW for the inaugural Toe Punt Shield on Sunday. The shield is named after the usual writer of these articles, Andrew “Toe Punt” Kelly. As many readers would know, Andrew has been battling cancer, and has been unable to file stories today due to his illness. All of us at The News send our best wishes to Toe Punt, and hope he got the chance to tune in to RPPFM’s coverage of the game named in his honour.

Rye rises, then crashes down DIVISION TWO

IF the opening quarter was any indication of what was in store for Rye in 2018, fans would have been battling to hold back the grins. In the only match for the weekend in Division Two, the Demons smashed Dromana in the first quarter 5.5 (35) to 1.1 (7) leaving the Tigers bedazzled. But Dromana, who had the advantage of being on home turf, were not prepared to tuck their tails and give up, and pushed back hard during the second quarter to be only 11 points down at the long break. The battle continued in the third quarter with Dromana pulling level by the end at 65 points apiece. It was a different game in the final quarter as Dromana put the foot to the floor kicking six goals and five minors to three straight goals by Rye. The final tally was 15.16 (106) for Dromana and 12.11 (83) for Rye. It was a great comback by Dromana and was in no small part because of their strong goal-kickers. Ben Holmes kicked five and Ethan Johnstone kicked four for the Tigers,. In total they had eight goal-kickers. For Rye, Nicholas Strickland and Harrison Wilson bagged four and three respectively .

Attard says Skye can go all the way SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie DANIEL Attard expects Skye United to bounce back from losing the opening match of its 2018 campaign and mount a serious promotion push. The 23-year-old striker is the longest serving player in Billy Armour’s senior squad having first played for the club in 2011. Attard started playing as a six-yearold in midfield for Glen Waverley and his first 10 seasons were spent under the tutelage of John Frantzis. “He kept me interested in the game because there were a few times I thought about not playing,” Attard said. When he switched to Skye United he played as a left back in the reserves and made his senior debut late that season. “Moving to Skye and playing in the ressies then the seniors at a young age was a great decision, one dad encouraged me to do as it helped me to adapt to the physicality and quickness of senior football as early as possible,” Attard added. Dad was Chris Attard, former FFV Chief Financial Officer, long-serving president of Skye United and an icon of the local game. In 2012 with John Bruce taking over as senior coach Daniel Attard found himself being used as a forward. “We had a lot of mature-age players and he (Bruce) brought a lot of younger guys into the senior squad because I think he wanted to inject youth into the side.” Attard’s first senior goal for Skye came in a 1-1 draw at home to Collingwood on Saturday 30 June and the club finished midtable that season. In 2013 Skye avoided relegation due to a league restructure and the following season lost a promotion play-off against Mazenod. Head coach Rick Schelling appointed Attard senior captain for the 2015 season but Armour replaced Shelling before the halfway point of the campaign and guided the club clear of the relegation zone. For Daniel Attard season 2016 was an emotional rollercoaster marked by both tragedy and triumph. Chris Attard lost his battle with multiple myeloma at the age of 52, a devastating blow for Daniel, brother Liam and mother Sarla. For many sport is a diversion from the challenges of everyday life but for

Daniel Attard it was so much more. Playing for Skye United became an ever-present reminder of his family legacy and July will mark the second anniversary of his father’s death. “Continuing to play after my father’s passing was difficult but everyone at the club was so good to me, to my brother and to my mother,” Attard said. “They still are helping us to get through what happened. “Dad was a man who gave everything he could to his family first of all but also to the soccer club. “He had a vision and you can see that from where we started to where we are now with juniors, with women’s teams and with our venue. “It’s been a long journey for the club and one I’m proud to say he had a big hand in.” A couple of months after Chris Attard’s death Skye United celebrated its greatest ever triumph with both the seniors and reserves winning the championship and its promotion push last season only faltered in the last league match.

“Winning the title in 2016 was a pretty emotional day for us, probably the best moment of my playing career especially with Liam winning the title with the reserves and if we get promoted this year it would be fantastic for the club and nothing less than we deserve after the heartbreak of going so close last season.” But Attard knows how tough a task the club faces after going down 2-1 to Monbulk Rangers in the opening round of the season and squaring up to Boroondara-Carey Eagles at Skye Recreation Reserve on Saturday. “Promotion is our goal but it’s going to be a lot tougher this year and after Boroondara we’ve got South Yarra and I think these two are going to be right up there. “I spoke to the Monbulk boys after our game and they lost to Boroondara in the (FFA) Cup and said they are a big, strong physical side so it will be quite a test for us.” Attard has enjoyed personal success throughout his time at Skye with four Golden Boot awards and senior best

and fairest and reserves best and fairest awards but he now faces a major challenge, one he plans to meet in a positive way. The club’s top scorer in recent seasons is battling to reclaim his place in the starting line-up after eight new signings arrived during the off-season. “The main thing I have to do is to work hard at training and on match days whether I get a start or whether I come on off the bench. “Everyone has to understand that if we are to get promoted we can’t do it with just 11 players. “It’s an 18-, 19-, 20-man effort that is going to get this done for us and whatever part I play within the squad I’m happy to contribute to our success.” His words echo the view of his teammates and are an endorsement of the bond among the senior squad that Armour and the coaching staff have encouraged. “At the end of the day you need to have a close-knit group, some players who are more than just teammates and we certainly have that at Skye.

“You have to enjoy yourself both on and off the field and we’ve got a really good bunch of boys and that’s going to be critical to what we achieve this year.” Meanwhile Mornington is the only local club left in the 2018 FFA Cup after Saturday’s matches. Mornington defeated Peninsula Strikers 4-1 at Dallas Brooks Park while Langwarrin went down 2-1 to North Geelong at Lawton Park. Mornington’s goals came from Max Etheridge (19th minute, 81st), Curtis Hutson (89th) and an own goal in the 41st minute from Strikers’ captain Hayden Beasley. Strikers’ reply came from Stefan Karac in the 52nd minute and Beasley was sent off in the last minute of normal time. Langwarrin led with a Luke Burgess goal in the 30th minute but Julian Cassano equalised for North Geelong in the 60th minute and Darius Madison nabbed the winner in the 89th minute. In other news NPLW outfit Southern United will conduct an FFA-approved Skills Acquisition Program (SAP) for girls born in 2007 and 2008 on Monday 9 April and Wednesday 11 April at Monterey Reserve. Southern United and its coaches have been running a girls-only SAP for the last two years with a focus on identifying talented girls within the Casey/ Mornington Peninsula region and bringing them into a training environment where they can train and develop with their peers.

Leading trainers dominate Cup day

All conquering: Darren Weir-trained import King’s Will Dream triumphs in the Mornington Cup on Saturday 24 March. Picture: Supplied

MORNINGTON Cup day displayed the dominance of Victoria’s leading trainers as Darren Weir and the Lindsay Park operation took out four of the nine races at the metropolitan meeting on Saturday 24 March. Weir secured both of the feature races with Stellar Collision winning the $200,000 Listed Hareeba Stakes and the Mornington Cup favourite King’s Will Dream saluting in emphatic fashion in the $300,000 feature. King’s Will Dream eased down past the post to defeat Harrison and the Tasmanian visitor Fastnet Dragon by five-lengths and consequently bought up his fifth successive victory since arriving in Australia. With the Mornington Cup offering exemption from the Caulfield Cup ballot, King’s Will Dream has been

Peninsula boxers perform on the “big stage” PENINSULA Boxer Tyla McDonald has been crowned Australian champion for the second year running defeating usual rival and 2016 national champion Tameriah Barney-Sandy on Sunday 25 March. Tyla, 15, took out the junior under-54kgs national championships and was the only female Victorian boxer to claim back-to-back championships at the Australian Underage Titles in Perth. On top of the national crown, Tyla was part of the Junior Girls Team of the Year award, alongside fellow Victorian junior boxers, Dakotah Keane and Millicent Woods. Peninsula Boxing head coach Marcos Amado said the final was a highly competitive fight and was extremely proud to see Tyla crowned the national champ for a second consecutive year. “It’s a massive achievement,” he said. “There are a lot of athletes in Victoria and to accomplish so much at a young age is amazing and she really should be proud of her achievements.” Amado is currently in Queensland with Commonwealth Games hopeful Jason Whateley and he said witnessing everything in the build up to the Commonwealth Games, “I can 100 per cent see her on the big stage in years to come”. “I’m sure she’ll reach these goals if that is where she wants to continue heading towards – there’s no doubt in my mind,” Amado said. Peninsula Boxing’s success is hoping to continue onto the Commonwealth Games this month as Jason Whateley strives for gold in the heavy-weight (91kg) division. Whateley is likely to bounce into the ring on Friday 6 April with the Commonwealth Games draw to be confirmed on Tuesday 3 April. Whateley has spent three and a half weeks at America’s Olympic Training Centre in Colorado Springs where he focussed on altitude training and received “quality coaching” and sparred against “quality partners”. He only had a couple of days at home before heading to the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra where he

Whateley has four fights standing in his way of a gold medal but said he is feeling really well heading into the Games. “The preparation has been really good, I’ll probably taper off in the days leading up to the Games but at the moment I’m feeling really sharp,” Whateley said. “I’ve had a tough preparation camp which has been hard on the body and mind so I’ll have a freshen-up over the last couple of days and hopefully be jumping out of my skin when I enter the ring.”

rewarded with automatic entry into the Group One and looks set to be the first Mornington Cup winner to take up the opportunity. Mornington Racing Club general manager Stephen Bell said that the incentive is heading into its third year and while the past winners haven’t been able to make it to the Caulfield Cup, King’s Will Dream looks set to break the trend and head into the Group One as a live chance. “He’s caught the eye of everyone after his run in the Mornington Cup but it’s not just that win which has caught everyone’s attention as his previous wins in town had been pretty outstanding,” he said. “The bookmakers have come out and have already opened him up as the favourite for the Caulfield Cup.”

Bell also said they had a crowd of around 5,000 people which was likely affected by the pour down of rain earlier in the day. “The racing was strong and it was a very good day once the sun came out,” Bell said. The Lindsay Park operation ended up with a winning double on the day with Muswellbrook (Race 3) and Velox (Race 2) saluting and the latter providing 19-year-old apprentice jockey Lachlan King with his first metropolitan winner. Mornington-based trainer Tony Noonan also got in on the action as his lone runner She’s Positive triumphed in the fourth race with his son Jake aboard, adding another winner to his hot season.

Western Port clash in season opener WESTERN Port’s largest footballing rivalry will hit the field on Saturday 7 April as Hastings Football-Netball Club hosts the Crib Point Magpies in their one and only home and away clash for the season. The Westernport sides will battle it out at Thomas Barclay Reserve, Hastings in the opening round of the MPNFL Nepean fixture with new head coaches Ricky Ferraro (Hastings) and Nathan Johns (Crib Point) both hoping to see their rigorous pre-season all come together. Hastings head coach Ricky Ferraro said that everyone had come back from pre-season in great condition after a disappointing end to 2017 when defeated in the semi-final by Frankston Bombers. “We started our pre-season in mid-November and haven’t taken a backward step,” he said. “Our boys are extremely excited, we have recruited players in positions that we needed - not just players that we wanted. “We believe this will be the key to helping us put our best step forward in 2018.” Hastings is hoping to fill the void of a key forward which they missed last year with the recruitment of former Parkdale Vultures player, Matthew Boland. Hastings will also have former Crib Point players Taylor Stratton and Benjamin King returning to the Blue’s this season and they are hoping to make a dominant return following a tough pre-season. Along with the footballing rivalry,

Hastings will also field their first A-grade netball side as well as having their first under-17’s team competing throughout the day. Carlton AFLW twin sisters, Jess and Sarah Hosking, will bring their sporting talent to the netball court and join the women’s A-grade side on the Saturday. A-grade netball coach Trish McLachlan said last month that the “feel” around the Hastings Netball Club is one of excitement as the sister’s arrival nears. “I know that Hastings has had a number of years where they have struggled to get quality players into the netball program and to have two players that are of the caliber of Jess and Sarah I think is very exciting,” she said. “We are putting in a nice pre-season and becoming a nice tight little unit so I’m looking forward to getting the season started.”
