Paintings a reflection of childhood memories SOUTHERN Buoy Studios is holding a solo exhibition by artist Morano, pictured, until Tuesday 10 March. Originally from Barcelona, Morano now lives on the Mornington Peninsula and this is his first exhibition in Australia. Morano says the works come “from memories of my childhood in the suburbs of Barcelona, from the images that I keep in my head painting murals over the train rails”. These memories from “a childhood looking to overcome the lack of opportunities” include factory workers, street culture and buildings surrounded by industrial estates. Morano sees his paintings as “a reflection of me comprehending that part of my life”. Gallery manager Liam Waldie said: “Morano’s studio works include large scale paintings that depict the moments of calm we can all find in the chaos of modern life.” Southern Buoy Studios is at 1/19 Carbine Way, Mornington.
Rallying to save Centrelink agency over 15 hours a week. Among those scheduled to attend are Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Sam Hearn, fellow councillors and Dunkley MP Peta Murphy. Anger at the forced closure is growing with a petition at the Mornington Community Information and Support Centre (MCISC) carrying 3484 signatures as of last Friday. Ms Murphy will present it to the House of Representatives when complete. The agency solution was described as a sell-out of residents’ needs by Cr
Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A PUBLIC rally is being held to keep the existing Centrelink and Medicare offices in Mornington.

do so. We are calling on the federal government to improve the range of services available at Mornington, not reduce them.” The information centre’s manager Stuart Davis-Meehan described the proposed 15-hour service as “grossly inadequate”. He wrote to Mr Hunt to say despite numbers seeking face-to-face support at Centrelink offices had fallen by 40 per cent over five years there were “still on average 160 people a day (800 a week) who prefer this option
and are currently attending the Mornington Centrelink office”. He said his “initial excitement about [Mr Hunt’s] announcement that the services had been retained in Mornington” had cooled after he “considered the detail”. Late last week Mr Hunt said the agent tender “until 30 June 2020 [is] standard practice as all Services Australia agent contracts are offered for a maximum of one year aligned with the financial year”.

NEWS DESK Fishermen rescued at Rye A FISHERMEN struggling in the water at Rye back beach on the weekend owes his life to a quick thinking Somerville Highway Patrol officer who dived in and saved him. Constable Roman Nestoriwskyj was acting on a onlooker’s emergency call that three fisherman had been swept off rocks about midday, Saturday 29 February, near the end of Harold Road. While two had managed to scramble to safety in a rocky cave the third man had been swept 60 metres out to sea and was in danger of drowning. Constable Nestoriwskyj told Channel 9 News that he ran down the rocks, dived in and swam out to the man before “carrying him over the rocks” to safety. The men, aged 47, 44 and 36, from Kew, were then winched to the cliff top by a police helicopter about 2pm and taken to hospital with minor injuries. Paramedics, SES volunteers and the CFA were all at the scene to assist with the rescue.
Shire volunteers for road safety trial Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE state government is being urged to use the Mornington Peninsula as a testing ground for a program aimed at reducing the road to nil by 2050. The “horror year” which in 2019 saw 14 deaths on peninsula roads combined with its own Towards Zero policy has prompted the shire to volunteer the peninsula as a site for the state Safe System trial. The move came as the council ratified an “ambitious” submission by traffic and transport team leader Tom Haines-Sutherland to a parliamentary
inquiry into the increase in Victoria’s road toll to 266. It also follows a reduction in speed limits to 80kph on 40 peninsula roads. The submission, drafted with the input of road safety expert Dr Bruce Corben, calls on the state government to spend up to $150 million over 10 years on the trial to “address all of the highest risk locations and common crash types on both state-and shire-managed roads” on the peninsula. Mr Haines-Sutherland described the Safe System approach as international best practice in road safety as acknowledged in the state government’s 20162020 road safety strategy.
“Despite this, it has not been fully implemented at a large scale anywhere across the state,” he said. “A Safe System approach includes addressing road safety issues through four pillars: safer roads, safer people, safer vehicles and safer speeds.” Mr Haines-Sutherland said a demonstration of the Safe System approach would “significantly improve road safety on the peninsula [which] could be expanded across the state”. The mayor Cr Sam Hearn said the shire was putting itself out there “as a leader in road safety”. “The trial goes beyond just speed and looks at all aspects of road safety,” he
said. Cr Hearn said the peninsula was unique because of its geography and diversity of towns, main roads, rural roads, and other aspects affecting road safety. “Compared with other areas we are the best place to trial it.” The state government launched an inquiry into last year’s high number of fatalities across the state with the aim of cutting deaths to zero by 2050. “The shire is considered a leader in road safety, demonstrated by council’s early adoption of the Towards Zero mission in 2016, our innovative Safer Residential Areas Program and, more recently, our implementation of the Safer Speeds Trial, among other pro-
grams,” Mr Haines-Sutherland said. “The inquiry gives the shire an ideal opportunity to provide feedback on the legislative, policy and funding challenges that local government faces in our role in working Towards Zero trauma on our roads, and to propose a new approach to road safety practice.” Mr Haines-Sutherland said the submission “highlighted the shire’s commitment to road safety through a collaborative and innovative approach”. The council endorsed his submission and offered Mornington Peninsula Shire as a Safe System demonstration site.

Concerns rise over Martha Cove ‘mound’ MARTHA Cove residents upset over unfinished landscaping following the construction of houses on Helm Avenue have called on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to clean up the mess. Their primary concerns centre on the height and slope of mounded soil at the eastern end of the street and unkempt vegetation. They say the mound can’t be properly maintained and is a fire risk, harbours snakes and is detrimental to the amenity of the neighbourhood. The residents say they are “seeking clarity” on how their concerns will be resolved. “There is uncertainty around how this landscape feature will be maintained with the developer soon to hand-over the maintenance of this area to the body corporate,” petitioner Fred Isarin said. “We don’t believe it is maintainable in its current form and condition.” Cr Simon Brooks, who met residents at the mound, said he would pass the petition to the shire and follow up the residents’ concerns with officers. “There has been an evolution of planning conditions in this area and it is in everyone’s interest to ensure best practise and processes are followed,” Cr Brooks said. “The shire’s ability to manage day-today issues around traffic, parking and amenity in general relies on considered planning controls. “I’m certain everyone is on the same page and that our officers will ensure the best outcome for residents.” The shire has hired an “expert planning consultant” to review all permits relating to the two decades of development of the Martha Cove residential and marina project (“Expert called in the probe Martha Cove” The News 25/2/20).

Meeting to ‘stop the quarry’ DROMANA-based Peninsula Preservation Group is holding a public information meeting this week to detail Hillview Quarries’ plan to open a new quarry on Arthurs Seat and explain the group’s opposition to it. The meeting is at the Dromana Community Hall, Verdon Street (behind the Old Shire Offices), 4pm, Saturday 7 March. It is believed Hillview wants to clear 38ha (80 acres) of bio-link bushland off Boundary Road, Dromana, between two sections of state park, for a 190-metre deep granite quarry. An application is currently before state planning minister Richard Wynne. PPG has a petition on Change.org with more than 8000 signatures, a website called Save Arthurs Seat and is distributing car stickers and fence signs. Details: 0419 579 277.

A VOLUNTEER group focused on suicide prevention in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula has been named as the major beneficiary of this month’s Tyabb Air Show. A national suicide prevention day walk run by Chasing Change last September attracted about 1000 people to a morning of reflection, conversation, and mourning. This led to its inaugural Chasing Change Blue Christmas event which brought people together during the often-trying festive period in which loved ones are often missed the most. The air show, held every second year, donates money raised to charities and notfor-profit groups. The air show is on Sunday 8 March. Tickets at: tyabbairshow.com

to break into Dromana Post Office and steal 15 mobile phones valued at $7000, 2.50am, Wednesday 19 February. The same offenders are believed to have stolen 34 mobile phones valued at $8000 from the Rosebud Post Office, 1.30am, Saturday 22 February. The phones at both post offices range in price from $99 to $350. Soon after the second post office raid the men are believed to have forced their way into a Reject shop on Nepean Highway where they managed to only get away with soft drinks. Twenty minutes later they smashed the door of Silk Hair Design, in Bay Road, Mount Martha, and stole an $1800 Apple Mac computer, $200 cash and several hair straighteners valued at $1000. The men, one wearing a Lonsdale windcheater, cap and shorts, and the other a black hoodie, black pants and runners, were seen driving a small, white car. Detectives are investigating whether this was the same car found burnt out at Seaford soon after the robberies.
CCTV images show the burglars who stole the icon from the Greek church in Red Hill.
Icon, cash stolen from Greek church DETECTIVES are combing pawn shops and second-hand dealers in the hunt for a celebrated religious icon stolen last month from the Greek Orthodox Monastery of Panagia Kamariani, Red Hill. The distinctive wood and silver icon, which holds significant value to the church and its parishioners, was stolen along with a green donation box containing about $1000, early Monday 10 February. Two men were captured on CCTV attempting to jemmy open the front doors of the Arthurs Seat Road church, 12.10-12.30am. When that door held they forced open a side door. The icon in its glass case, made in Greece in 1974, would cost $5000-$10,000 to replace, Detective First Constable Niki Platis, of Morn-

ington Peninsula CIU, said. “The two men wearing hats and bandanas picked up the icon and walked out; it all happened in five or 10 minutes,” Detective Platis said. The icon was previously stolen in February 2016 and July 2014. It was found dumped in bushland after the most recent robbery and returned to the church.
Bike stolen MORNINGTON Police are investigating the theft of a distinctive black and green Specialised mountain bike from outside a Glencoe Crescent, Mount Martha, house, 19 February. Anyone with information is urged to call Constable Sarah Osborne, 5970 4900, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

THE screws are being tightened on Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors’ off-the-record expense claims. A three-part notice of motion put by Cr David Gill last week – and passed unanimously – will ensure councillors’ reimbursement claims and requests for training, personal development, entertainment or other expenses, including payments for tickets for functions, should only be claimable from their expense allowances and not through any other council accounts. Secondly, all past claims presented by councillors not claimable under legislation or Mornington Peninsula Shire Council protocols, must now be reported to council. The third part of the motion was to remind councillors that “asking for gifts or a benefit from anyone is an offence under the Local Government Act 1989”. Officers stated that councillor claims for reimbursement were lodged through councillor support and reviewed by the head of governance and legal and the director for corporate services prior to payment. These claims are reviewed in accordance with the Councillor Expenses Reimbursement, Resources and Facilities Policy and the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act).
Carnival charges dropped CHARGES of negligence against a Rye carnival proprietor were dropped in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court last week. Worksafe had charged Wittingslow Amusements with failing to ensure people were not exposed to risks to their health or safety following the death of a boy on Easter Monday 2017. The six-year-old was flung out of the Cha Ch ride when he slipped under a guard rail. He died in the Royal Children’s Hospital four days later. The ride, built in 1961, was checked by engineers in December 2016 and no defects found. The ride was closed for two days after the fatality and seat belts fitted. It was allowed to run until November 2017 when WorkSafe ordered it to be dismantled and fitted with longer lap bars.

Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A RANGE of measures are being proposed to protect endangered wildlife on the Mornington Peninsula. While the focus is on the welfare of the dwindling number of koalas on the peninsula, the state government and Parks Victoria are being asked to help establish a hospital for injured and ill wildlife. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors will be asked next week to seek backing for a wildlife hospital at Highfield Farm, part of the Greens Bush section of the Mornington Peninsula National Park near Cape Schanck. Cr David Gill said at hospital at Highfield would be a central location for the peninsula’s many wildlife carers and enable healthy animals to be released “back where they came from”. Also, on council’s 10 March agenda is a suggestion that the shire create emblems to help protect “at risk” flora and fauna. Two weeks after being asked to support the wildlife hospital and emblems, the shire is holding a community forum to discuss ways of protecting koalas and their habitat on the peninsula. The free forum will be addressed by koala experts Dr Kath Handasyde, former senior lecturer at Melbourne Uni-

be prepared for council on establishing an advisory committee to investigate protections for koalas and other threatened flora and fauna species within the municipality. “I know many in the community are deeply concerned about the diminishing koala population on the peninsula,” the mayor Cr Sam Hearn said. “We need to canvas all ideas on what more can be done to protect them.” Cr Gill said there was a need for a “koala survival master plan, not only for the peninsula but for the whole of Victoria”. “This task is urgent, especially after the catastrophic bushfires we’ve just experienced,” he said. “With this forum we want to engage with a wider audience on the protection of koalas and koala habitat, as well as protections for other threatened species.” Other speakers at the forum include Craig Thomson, Malcolm Legg, Dirk Jansen (Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation Group), Dr Emily Hynes and Clarissa Garnaut, from Wildlife Help on the Mornington Peninsula (WHOMP). The free forum will be held 6pm10pm on Thursday 26 March at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Road, Mornington.

Continued from Page 1 “There is an ongoing commitment to agent services in Mornington over future years for as long as the Mornington community utilise the service.” Mr Davis-Meehan said moving from 160 people a day to something that might be manageable over 15 hours a week would be a “poison chalice for any organisation taking it on”. “My concern is that the demand will be so unmanageable that it will just cause grief for the organisation and the public in trying to cope,” he said. Services Australia general manager Hank Jongen said the change was in response to a “significant reduction in customers visiting the service centre”. “We regularly review our face-to-face services
to ensure service delivery is sufficient to meet community needs,” Mr Jongen said. “What we’re seeing is people increasingly using different channels to connect with the agency and access services, with the availability and convenience of mobile apps and online facilities. “Customers from the Mornington area can continue to access the Frankston and Rosebud service centres.” Cr Hearn said increased foot traffic at other Centrelink sites would increase congestion and queue waiting times. “The shire was not advised or consulted on this matter, nor was the local community, and the intended closure date gives very little time for service users to make other arrangements,” he said.

EXANDING public transport in Frankston has been listed as a “priority initiative” by Infrastructure Australia. Infrastructure Australia’s latest priority list shows that “optimising the existing bus network, increasing bus service frequency and coverage,” and “upgrades to rail services and infrastructure” are seen as ways of improving Frankston. The list includes 150 “priority” or “high priority” projects and initiatives throughout Australia. Committee for Greater Frankston CEO Ginevra Hosking described Frankston’s inclusion as “fantastic news and proof that solving the region’s lack of public transport is a state and nationally important project, one that’s vital to unleash the potential of our region”. “Our submission detailed how the rail extension would become the backbone of a revitalised transport system to benefit 400,000 residents, a population comparable to Canberra’s,” she said. However, Committee for Mornington Peninsula president and former Dunkley MP Bruce Billson said Infrastructure Australia needed to “lift its gaze beyond the east of Frankston in relation to transport requirements to consider the needs of the Mornington Peninsula”. “Our region has the lowest access to public transport facilities within metropolitan Mel-

bourne, and this raises the question again about whether policy makers and transport planners even consider the Mornington Peninsula to be part of the metropolitan Melbourne”, Mr Billson said. “This impacts our community by inhibiting access to educational services, jobs and visitor connections to the region.” A proposal to extend the Frankston rail line to Baxter had been the subject of a business case, which was handed to the federal government in October last year. The federal government has promised $225 million towards the project, while the state government has not announced a financial contribution. In April 2019, Frankston Council and Mornington Peninsula Shire expressed joint support for a staged extension of the Frankston line to Hastings. Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said on Friday that “the need for electrified rail services beyond Frankston is strengthening” as population increased across the south east Melbourne and the peninsula. Frankston Council has called on the federal government to release the rail electrification business case, completed in late-2019 by the Victorian government. Brodie Cowburn

Open to talking about hens JASON and Giuliana started a free-range egg business called Talking Hens back in 2012 on their small family farm in Keysborough. They started selling some of their hens to customers wanting to keep their own backyard flocks. As more and more people started buying their hens, Jason and Giuliana started providing a range of other products to keep backyard hens healthy, happy and active. Along with this, education and support for backyard chicken keepers became more important for them over time. Eventually, they moved away from egg farming but kept selling their friendly, HyLine Brown laying hens. From their farming experience, Jason and Giuliana learned that the Hy-Line Brown was
very suitable for families as they were placid, had lots of personality and were one of the best egg-laying hens around. Following their permanent move to Merricks, they are having an Open Weekend to celebrate! Open Weekend on 14th and 15th of March 2020 Visit Talking Hens at 3590 Frankston-Flinders Road Merricks between 10am and 4pm over the open weekend to talk and learn all about backyard chickens. On both days they will have face painting, petting zoo, cupcake stall (with all money donated to the bushfires appeal), craft activities and presentations on getting started with backyard chickens.

Healing harmonies CAN the power of music enhance your wellbeing and memory as you age? Most people can name at least one artist or song that evokes an emotional response, reminding them of a significant moment in their life. Our response to music is often visceral, so you may have a physical or emotional response before you understand what memory it triggers. However, is this effect helpful to our cognitive and physical wellbeing? The answer is a resounding yes.When US social worker, Dan Cohen, brought his captivating initiative to Australia’s Arts Health Institute, he worked with patients with chronic cognitive and physical impairment with outstanding results. In some cases, patients with dementia responded to personalised music playlists through singing and movement, creating brief moments of reconnection with loved ones. The music awakens part of the brain not impacted by dementia and can even cause positive changes in mood lasting several hours. Music can profoundly influence your health, happiness and wellbeing at any age. Whether it be a toddler dancing to their favourite song, or a retirement community enjoying songs of a bygone era, the benefits are the same: Reduce your stress levels – Whilst small amounts of stress are a normal part of life, some seniors experience overwhelming stress and tension. Listening to music has been shown to reduce high heart rates and reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) in your body, helping you to relax. Improve your cognitive ability – Music therapy improves cognitive ability in older adults, with rhythmic music stimulating certain areas of your brain to increase blood flow. Get social – Music and theatre bring people together for a shared experience. By connecting with other people in their community, older adults can make new friends and alleviate any feelings of loneliness and isolation. Inspire movement – Playing music motivates you to get moving, whether you’re tapping your
feet, clapping your hands or dancing. A wonderful opportunity for seniors to embrace the healing magic of music with a friend or a group is the Daytime Music + Theatre shows presented throughout the year at Frankston Arts Centre. With daytime tributes to Broadway legends, performances by Australian music theatre stars, and productions featuring hit songs from the War eras, there is something for everyone. Tickets start at just $19 and include light refreshments before the show - the perfect opportunity to experience all the benefits of the healing power of music for yourself!

Green light for Greenways GREENWAYS is very proud of its village and community but understands that ‘making the move’ to a village is a big decision. There are lots of factors to consider. It may be that a resident has recommended life at Greenways. Or perhaps its reputation for more than 40 years as an honest and caring establishment has attracted you. Residents will tell you that so many aspects of your life can change positively when you live at Greenways. It is a rare opportunity but
two units and one apartment became vacant last month. To help you choose, Greenways has listed some of the factors that its residents considered were most important when they were making the decision to move to Greenways’ village on the Peninsula: • Enables independence as you age • Downsizing while physically capable • Freedom from house responsibilities • Close to public transport and shops
• • • • • • • • •
Safe environment Emergency alarm service Near or with easy access to medical services Financial independence with the option of buying your own unit and having money to spend On-site maintenance Access to village management Reputation of the village Reputation of the owners Socialisation with people your own age and
with similar interests • Entry and exit fees are upfront and simple Greenways offers all this and more. That’s why, in a recent survey, 98 per cent of Greenways residents said they would — and do — recommend life at Greenways to their friends. Greenways Village is at 330 FrankstonDandenong Rd, Seaford.

Dr Philip Tan from Bayside Dental Specialists understands your situation – he has heard his patients express these frustrations many times throughout his career as a specialist dentist. Dr Tan offers a unique solution for those patients suffering from significant tooth loss with an implant retained full arch bridge procedure called AuDentes®. Utilising groundbreaking technology, his highly specialised team of surgeon, prosthodontist, anaesthetist and digital technician will provide your full arch implant bridge treatment in the one hospital visit under general anaesthetic. We asked Dr Tan why he offers the AuDentes® technique? “We have a desire to make the patient experience as easy and simple as possible” says Dr Tan. “In past years, immediately loaded prosthesis used to take
six, nine or ten months. It has become faster, for example with the All-on-4 technique, but patients still need to return for several visits after their surgery. This was rather frustrating for the patients; they asked why it couldn’t be done immediately.” So how is AuDentes® different? “With AuDentes® the patient receives a permanent prosthesis during their surgery, which takes approximately two hours. This makes it simpler and faster for the patient and makes recovery quicker and more comfortable.” Bayside Dental Specialists offer ‘Suitability Assessments’ for those who come to the practice without a dentist referral. You will meet one of their clinical team who will make an initial assessment of your suitability for the procedure and discuss the viability of AuDentes® treatment. Contact the Bayside Dental Specialist team today to organise your screening or consultation services on (03) 8256 9911.

Finally, relief from your hip pain DOES this describe YOU? • You get hip pain laying on your side in bed, and just can’t get to sleep. • You place a pillow between your legs to help you get to sleep but laying on the painful side is still waking you. • You find yourself standing on one leg with your other hip hanging lower, or you sitting with crossed legs causes the pain • You are a runner worried your hip pain will get worse and stop you from exercising. If so then read on. The pain on the outside of the hip can be due to inflammation of the gluteal tendon, of Gluteus Medius and Minimus, where the gluteal muscles attach. It can also be where a bursa (a fat pad called the trochanteric bursa) can become inflamed. The hip pain may be associated with a stiff back. Physiotherapist May Wan, says that it is an injury affected by hip weakness and postural habits that place the tendons under stress. It requires a full analysis of the hip and lower limb, looking from the foot to the back biomechanics. It can require massage, and specific strengthening exercises for the gluteal muscles as well as improving core stability to control pelvic movement. In addition to the above solutions, there is a recent healing technology that is making a profound difference to outside of the hip pain sufferers. Practice owner, Paul Rowson says
Physiotherapist, May Wan. “Shockwave Therapy is often useful, because the gluteal tendons are a connective tissue, not a muscle. It puts a significant shockwave through the tissues you apply it to. It is a pressure wave which brings blood flow to the area. Tendons and connective tissue do not have much blood supply and can take a long time to heal. Shockwave artificially stimulates the healing of the tendon.” Shockwave therapy can also be used on Achilles tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, golfer’s and tennis elbow, and rotator cuff tendon problems,
and is usually most effective on long term chronic problems, rather than acute injuries. Shockwave is not the first line of treatment for injured patients. Physiotherapy and graded exercise are more likely in the first instance. But for more stubborn conditions, shockwave has shown good results. “The evidence at the moment suggests between three to five treatments are required, but most people should see an improvement within three sessions. It has a success rate up to 90%” May says. The Shockwave therapy is administered for a three-minute period
to the affected area during consecutive weekly appointments. “It is a bit of an uncomfortable sensation” May says, “like most physio hands-on treatments, with a little discomfort during the treatment.” Paul says, “After each session, most people get a significant reduction of pain and symptoms. Long term it stimulates healing, short term it reduces pain. The best thing is, the effects are long lasting. It prevents a lot of people having more invasive things like surgery or injections. The treatment is considered safe, but can produce skin reddening or bruising, short term pain, and
cannot be used on people taking blood thinning medications or with bleeding disorders. “ “It is important to know that Shockwave has a long-term effect. Most of the time you have good outcomes, without having to have further treatments.” Shockwave is now available in Balnarring.

She also has a great team to work with, including teammate and fellow chef Elizabeth. “I am lucky to work with a talented person like Elizabeth whom I appreciate immensely,” Sarah said. “She’s just one part of a team of great people at The Mornington Retirement Village that we are proud to be a part of.” The Mornington is a vibrant and welcoming retirement living community located in the cosmopolitan seaside township of Mornington in Victoria.

Sarah has had an interest in cooking since she was 16, and still remembers her first job in the industry. “I wanted to leave school and mum said I could if I had a job, so as
cooking was my only interest she found me a cooking apprenticeship at a Mexican restaurant when I was 16,” Sarah said.

ONE of the most recognisable store fronts on the peninsula, this retail food premises enjoys a prominent main road location and has endless opportunities for alternative use (STCA). What most people in the area know as ‘Stocktons Coolstores’ began life back in 1892 when Alfred Dennett registered his business as ‘Astley Orchards’ – Astley being the small village near Manchester in the UK where his family had emigrated from. Alfred Dennett had purchased 48 acres along Frankston-Flinders Road where he established his orchard and during the early years of the depression, the family were selling their produce from a roadside stall. In 1935 Dennett’s eldest daughter, Rosa, married Tyabb orchard owner Alf Stockton and by 1955 the family owned three orchards in the area and needed a central outlet to process, store, pack and sell their produce. Perc Twyford was contracted to build a coolstore on the original fruit stall site that faced Frankston- Flinders Road and it was this building that quickly became known ‘Stocktons Coolstore’ which has been trading continuously ever since. The property enjoys existing use rights as a retail outlet, front and centre of which is the huge building that measures about 300 square metres and comes with loading bay and plenty of on-site parking.n

Thankfully times have changed and long gone are the days of painful surgery to remove unwanted and uncomfortable veins.

Supporting and walking with you...the Prudent Way THE name may be new but Prudent Legal is the bold new face of the long established and well-known law firm of Jimmy Lardner and Associates. Lardner opened his first practice in Mt.Eliza over 29 years ago. This practice has now evolved into Prudent Legal which reaches into a vast and broader segment of the Mornington Peninsula community. “Education, guidance, encouragement and support is what we singularly focus on when we work with our clients,” says Lardner. We are prudent in our approach to meeting client’s needs and we help them navigate a prudent pathway towards a prudent destination. We live by our name,” says Lardner. Together with a new legal partner on board and another office at Rosebud, Lardner says the firm’s services are tailored to meet the varying needs and demands of the growing broader Mornington Peninsula community. Where clients are unable to visit its offices for consultations due to distance or various work commitments, the firm freely offers after hours appointments and video conferencing facilities. Lardner says he cannot emphasise enough that whilst Prudent Legal is excited about continuing to innovate and mould its services through better utilisation of technology, it’s focus will never waver from advising them through good old fashioned friendly chats. This approach lies at the very core of how the solicitors in the firm advice and support each client. The other very fundamental aspect of the firm’s approach in resolving legal issues is to resolve disputes through negotiations and mediation as much as possible. “We encourage clients to stay out of court and litigate strongly only if this becomes absolutely necessary. Lardner says litigation is hugely expensive and the emotional stress accompanying litigation may result in higher unquantifiable costs to the individual.
Pictured left: Jimmy Lardner, right: Andrea Griffiths The “grey haired” team at the firm is wonderfully complimented by the young, vibrant and charming Andrea Griffiths. Born, bred and educated in the Mornington Peninsula, Griffiths is a mother of two young children. Griffiths finds it very satisfying and rewarding working with parents who place the interests of their children above everything else. She says it is not uncommon for her however to be advising and guiding some parents where emotions have interfered with their ability to prioritise their children’s interests above their own. “I understand current day to day social pressures on young families and the struggles some of them have in trying to balance work
life demands,” says Griffiths. “With clients experiencing separation, domestic violence, parenting or property issues, I take a holistic approach to factor in all of the peripheral factors that may have an impact not just on the immediate but for a long foreseeable future. If the principles of prudence have not been allowed to shape a legal result or guide the parties to a dispute, there are no real winners in the long term. This is especially so when children are involved,” says Griffiths. The firm is increasingly advising senior citizens on a number of issues very specific to their evolving needs. “ We find our seniors are becoming sophisticated in their needs with
wills and estates, asset protection, inheritances, retirement village matters, aged care and family and succession issues” says Lardner. The firm’s solicitors make visits to seniors’ homes, hospitals, retirement villages and aged care facilities to help inform, advise and take instructions. “In taking a holistic approach to our client’s needs, we often find ourselves assisting seniors with referrals to other organisations and services who specialise in a specific area of their non-legal needs, says Lardner.

Seniors Loving Life!
Traveling the extra mile to give you a perfect smile! THE idea behind DenturePoint is simple: to create a private boutique denture clinic where new smiles are designed exactly the way you want them and without any unnecessary stress. This is to suit the lifestyle of our beautiful Mornington Peninsula: stress free and as relaxing as possible. Maggie Murch practices in Mornington and works very close with Dr Albery and Dr Finti. She also sees patients at Dr Bhawna’s clinic in Lyndhurst. ‘I am very passionate about what I do and my love for creating smiles started when I was 16 years old. I am still as excited about my job today as when I first started, and I always ensure I keep up with all the newest technology and methods. I recently travelled to Japan to learn more about suction of lower dentures. It was extremely educational, and I had a great pleasure to meet Dr Abe - the creator of mandibular suction – and his team.’ Maggie had been originally trained as a dental technician in a world renowned Eastman Dental Hospital in London. She then accomplished a Higher Diploma at the University of Cardiff in Wales. She got employed by Goulburn Valley Hospital in Shepparton and later worked at prestigious dental clinic in Glen Iris together with Dr Dickinson, Dr Pearson and Dr Homewood. She also carries a Master’s Degree of Dental Technology in Prosthetics from the Griffith University in Gold Coast. With almost 30 years of experience she is able to offer a superior denture care and with an extra Hypnotherapy Diploma she can put the most anxious patients at ease. ‘I specialise in making dentures and that doesn’t involve any pain but most of my patients tell me how nervous they are to step into a dental clinic. My hypnotherapy and distraction techniques have not disappointed me, as yet. I completed a Diploma course of Clinical Hypnosis and Psychotherapy as a
Dental Prosthetist, Maggie Murch. Photo supplied
hobby project and would never think it could be so useful in my job. The techniques work particularly well with people who clench and grind their teeth’. Maggie also offers 24/7 emergency denture repairs most of which are done within two hours’ time. “This is the beauty of being a dental technician and a dental prosthetist in one.’ says
Maggie – ‘ I can see a patient in the clinic with a broken denture and fix it in the lab the very same day’. ‘At DenturePoint, I offer longer appointments which gives me a better insight into my patients’ denture related needs and expectations. I like to think they get a real VIP treatment when they come to see me.’
And for all of those who are unable to see her in the clinic in Mornington she offers a mobile service. ‘My job gives me a great sense of satisfaction and I am always ready to travel an extra mile to create a perfect smile!” - says Maggie To make an appointment call Maggie on 0400919513 or visit www.denturepoint.com.au for further information.

Seniors Loving Life! Overcome the challenge of stairs by future-proofing your home STAIRS are the most common place for accidents to occur in the home and falls from stairs can have serious consequences. Faced with this challenge, many people feel their only choice is to move to a single-level home. If you are going to enjoy your retirement, then you need to address the issue of the stairs; whether it is carrying groceries or wood upstairs, struggling to walk down them yourself, or whether friends and family find them so hard to navigate that they no longer visit. However when you go to look for single-storey homes, you may find that they are rare or expensive or just do not have the view. And besides, why lose all that money moving if you can stay safely in your home? Australian RESiLIFT® inventor, Peter van Emmerik, conceived the first ‘through-floor’ residential lift because he wanted to empower people to stay in their home as they aged. He wanted to design a lift that was able to be installed into existing homes at an affordable price. Peter’s award-winning lift has been replicated across the globe. His ground-breaking shaftless design was patented and has been the inspiration for many residential elevators. “I designed this lift so people could stay safely in the home they love,” says Peter. “It saves time, effort and money that would otherwise be wasted moving home. It also removes the emotional anguish of
Pictured: Margot Ling installed a RESiLIFT 18 months ago so she could stay in her two-storey home. being uprooted from your family home.” Without a doubt, installing a RESiLIFT® enables people to stay in their two storey or split-level home without the limitations and dangers of stairs. “It’s such a relief! Now I know we can stay in our home! We love it!” says Margot Ling who installed a RESiLIFT® 18 months ago. She said, “We love the area, we love living here, why would we move?!”
RESiLIFT® is not only an affordable solution, it’s a smart choice. The RESiLIFT® can be retrofitted into existing homes with minimal hassle. It can also be easily installed in new builds. Many people on the Peninsular install the RESiLIFT® in their holiday houses as they prepare for their sea change. Despite its very small footprint, RESiLIFT® still fits two people. There are three different sizes available,
some models can accommodate walkers and even wheelchairs. RESiLIFT® has truly been a ‘life-saver’ in many people’s homes. With the potential upheaval of an unexpected diagnosis, injury or surgery, it’s good to know that at least the challenge of stairs is removed. One customer initially installed the lift for when their elderly parent visited, but it later helped when their grandchild developed mobility issues.
For many customers who are still agile and mobile, the lift may just be used for carrying loads of washing, suitcases or groceries. This is much safer than carrying these items on the stairs and will help them stay fit enough to enjoy the rest of their retirement. Installing a residential lift in your home is enables you to stay in the home your love. For more information, videos and testimonials visit www.resilift.com.au.

Seniors Loving Life! Experience the boutique retirement dream at Mountain View Leongatha MOUNTAIN View Leongatha is a boutique lifestyle retirement village. It will only have 45 villas on completion and is very unique compared to the many larger villages that exist. It is for this reason that many have made the move into this exclusive community. A lifestyle village for the active retiree or semi-retired who embraces life. Currently, Mountain View Leongatha has 43 residents occupying 26 villas. Mountain View Leongatha offers resort living everyday with the Community Centre operational right from the start which in turn has brought new residents in sooner rather than later. Family and friends are often seen using the salt-chlorinated pool, bowling green, lounge/dining and games areas – it really is the
hub of many activities. It is also a pet friendly village. Much thought was given to the interior design of the Villas which include 24 hour emergency call systems, contemporary kitchens, stylish living areas, spacious bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms and parking spaces or garages. The focus of building the villas was to enhance your lifestyle, security and freedom. Mountain View Leongatha helps people personalise their retirement, offering two financial options to suit your budget. The money saved when buying in at a lower price because we are regional, allows residents the opportunity to invest their savings and fund their lifestyle. We can provide assistance to help you understand the legal, financial and
service aspects when considering the benefits of a lifestyle change and answer any queries you may have regarding retirement living. Mountain View Leongatha is a lifestyle investment. We have had many residents move from the likes of Merimbula, Mount Martha, Bendigo, Lilydale & Pakenham. Many have chosen Leongatha as their new address because they know what South Gippsland has to offer – they may have holidayed here in the past or have just decided to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city yet not be too far to return to Melbourne for day trips. Many have decided on the sea-change, tree-change and me-change. Leongatha township is a lovely country town with a range of facilities and great local hospital which recently had a $30m redevelopment.
Many great day trips are available within the Gippsland area and Melbourne is very accessible if the city beckons. Travel seems to be high on the list of things to do. Only a 30 minute trip from Leongatha and you will be on the coast with Wilsons Promontory National Park and Philip Island is not too far to also explore. So the choice is yours, either seachange or tree-change all in one. With only 9 Villas remaining we suggest that you consider us soon as the option to purchase will be reducing day by day due to this being a smaller boutique lifestyle village. Call now on 1300 306 255 to make an appointment or check out our website www. mountainviewleongatha.com.au and view the villas and village.

Money about to be wasted fighting a non-issue Mornington Peninsula Shire Council took the Peninsula Aero Club to VCAT (Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal) and lost (“VCAT backs aero club against shire” The News 25/2/20). Sadly, council is about to use ratepayer’s money again to defend at VCAT against the PAC application to remove the “church hour” from its permit. The church hour was implemented way back when the church which, is now the Hungry Peacock cafe, was a church and planes were banned from flying between 9am and 10am on Sundays during church services. While the building remains as a working café, the Sunday worshiping is long gone. Wouldn’t it be nice if council didn’t use our money to fight to keep the church hour in place, considering there is no church and hasn’t been for decades? How about showing some good faith MPSC to ratepayers and to PAC? This is a Mornington Peninsula issue not just a Tyabb issue. While the airfield is a unique jewel for the Tyabb township, it is also the only airfield on the peninsula where emergency services can land and refuel: air ambulance, police rescue helicopters, firefighting helicopters and spotter planes. It is within the council’s ability to not take PAC to VCAT over a defunct permit condition, it could just delete that condition, put a line through it and not spend our money on fighting PAC over something that no longer exists. Please MPSC, listen to peninsula ratepayers. Do not waste more of our money on this senseless pursuit. Paul Mercurio, Tyabb
Event applauded I’d like to commend the organisers of the recent music event among the lovely grounds of The Briars property, Mount Martha (“Feedback a
part of noise review” The News 26/2/20). The event showcased Carl Cox and Eric Powell, world renowned DJs who are also local residents. The day was well managed with first aid, security, free water and food trucks making for a fabulous family friendly event enjoyed by thousands of locals and visitors. I’d also like to commend Mornington Peninsula Shire for permitting the event on the public lands at The Briars. I’m a regular visitor to the property and enjoyed seeing it being used for a concert. It really was quite stunning setting to enjoy the music. While I wouldn’t like to see events like this every weekend, I feel it is a positive addition to the range of events hosted at The Briars over the year. Paul Wittwer, Mornington
Rethink Centrelink Centrelink was established in 1996 as a one stop shop for Australians to access government services (“Agency ‘solution’ for Centrelink” The News 25/2/20). By outsourcing, reducing access to 15 hours a week, the Morrison government has shown its contempt to Australians wanting to access its services. How does the Health Minister [Flinders MP Greg Hunt] see this as helping people in need when Centrelink staff are having difficulty in implementing government policies and changes? Asking community groups to interpret and implement Centrelink and give Australians the services they require needs further consideration. John Tingiri, Mornington

been able to secure by privatising Centrelink and Medicare services for the most disadvantaged in the Mornington area is a great achievement (“Agency ‘solution’ for Centrelink” The News 25/2/20). This privatisation by stealth is a typical LNP government strategy to eventually destroy the last vestiges of a commonly owned social security net. If all the Labor opposition has to say about this is “the community was short changed”, I think Australians needing support from our social security networks are being sold down the creek. It is a disgrace for our health minister [Mr Hunt] to basically go along with this most regrettable decision by pretending he has reached a good outcome for the disadvantaged in the Mornington region. People should be very worried, because eventually everyone sooner or later will end up using these services for one reason or another. It seems the government is still hanging on to the illusion of a budget surplus at any cost. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring
Well done Hunt We should be extremely proud of the actions of our local member, [Flinders MP] Minister for Health, Greg Hunt over the past six to eight weeks. Greg’s handling of the coronavirus has been exemplary, measured, considerate and restrained. This is in distinct contrast to certain commentators and politicians who have attempted to create mass hysteria - well done Greg. Bill Holmes, Sorrento
Rail against racism Thank you “our ABC” for recently screening The Australian Dream. What an amazing documentary hosted by Stan Grant, telling Adam Goodes’s harrowing story of racial vilification while playing AFL football. A double Brownlow medallist and a former Australian of The Year, I urge people who haven’t seen the documentary to seek it out and watch it. Everyone, I think, will be as deeply moved as I was by his story. We need to think of the trauma of continued inequality, vilification that continues in this wealthy nation to our First Nations people and other minorities and address it now. Australians stand up against racism we can and must do better. Denise Hassett, Mt Martha
Look again at 5G Peer reviewed scientists, engineers and doctors globally are all very concerned about 5G (“$9m ‘5G is safe’ message” The News 25/2/20). More than 2000 scientific research papers have been published on EME (electromagnetic energy emissions) with concerns on biology and health. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damage, structural and functional changes in reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders and negative impacts on general wellbeing. And now $9m of taxpayers’ money is being spent to convince us there is no harm. Remember when they told us that asbestos, cigarettes, DDT, leaded petrol and paint and herbicides were safe? All are now known carcinogens. Just because it’s invisible, doesn’t mean EMEs are safe. Flinders MP and Health Minister Greg Hunt, who has a duty of care to Australians, should explain why so-called safe limits in Australia are thousands of time higher than most other countries and have not even been tested by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency? Why are other countries, states and councils calling for a halt to 5G until it is proven safe? Why are no insurance companies insuring for EMR-related sickness? Why we are not using the “precautionary principle” until 5G is proven safe by peer reviewed scientists, not science paid by the telco industry which, of course, will cherry pick? There are safe ways to still use technology, so I ask Mr Hunt to look into this and not just sign off on it because it’s great for the economy. Judy O’Donnell, Mount Martha
Knitters needed Sincere thanks to those generous donors of knitting wool for the Winter Woollies Appeal. Wool has come from individuals and organisa-
tions. Now, as autumn presents its cooler self, we need knitters to turn those diverse donations into scarves (footy themes welcome) beanies, mittens and jumpers for older children. The knitted garments go first to Southern Peninsula Food for All, then St Vincent de Paul Mornington Peninsula Conferences, to be distributed to needy local families. Our thanks also and most importantly, to the Hastings and Dromana branches of the Bendigo Bank, where staff are kind enough to hold wool for knitters and finished items to be collected. Fran Henke, co-ordinator Winter Woollies Appeal, Hastings
Leftist lists beliefs I’m a lefty and I don’t hate the flag, in fact, I fought under it in Vietnam. I have nothing against the national anthem, but I dislike those who deny the first Australians the right to exist or have a say. I don’t hate those who have worked hard and are now gathering the fruits of their toil (“Tax for socialism” Letters 25/2/20). What I don’t like are those who can afford a creative accountant to enable them to not pay the correct taxes. I agree that Immigration has to be measured, but I find it criminal that we incarcerate those who want to escape oppression only to be imprisoned for years in detention camps. I don’t like mining giants because of their pollution, but mainly I dislike it when governments gift millions of litres of our precious water resources to them. Balaclava wearers are extreme right wing racists when they’re attacking Muslims over something. I don’t hate farmers, we need them. A socialist federal Labor government shielded Australia from the GFC. Many LNP supporters are still in denial on that one. Socialism is all inclusive, the LNP is exclusive, and we’ve all seen what communism is about. The leaders and their backers take the cream and the masses can take a jump. A bit like the LNP really. John Cain, McCrae
Action required Taking to heart that letters should be more humorous, here are some one liners that should have you rolling on the floor busting a gut. The federal government: Ensures large companies pay tax. Eliminates $29 billion corporate welfare program to fossil fuel industry. Changes tax structure to collect more in tax revenue on liquid gas sold to Japan than Japan collects. Demands that News Corp justify the results for the Foxtel $30 million government handout (another sports rort). Makes another change in submarine propulsion from nuclear to diesel (very quiet and full of sleuth) and now to coal fired. Strengthens Greens ICAC bill and votes to pass it. Recognises all religions and ensures all faiths are represented in chaplains’ program. Improves inequity to the point that those who will spend the money get it and those who will bank it overseas do not. Allocates program dollars to those who need it and not to allocate our tax dollars based on where it is needed to win an election. Apologises for illegal robodebt scheme and gives restitution for victims. Solves homelessness by ensuring everyone has somewhere to sleep besides a detention centre. Ensures that the 3.6 million Australians including one in five children that have been ‘food insecure’ - are no longer “food insecure”. Closes tax loopholes that allow millionaires in to manage a tax bill of $0. Accepts that it has a duty of care for welfare recipients even though social security law makes no mention of a need to exercise “due or reasonable care”. Takes on board findings of 11,000 scientists and bases actions on science not corporate mafia lobby groups who contribute money to campaigns. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Frankston Gas Works responds to criticism Compiled by Cameron McCullough To the Editor Sir, Your article on the above matter in your issue of 6th inst. might have been ignored as beneath notice if it had not contained statements some of which were untrue and others very unfair comment. You infer that the stoppage of the work on the Friday night referred to might have been obviated if we had taken the trouble to order coal in time. Every effort was made to obtain the coal, but it was refused by the Coal Board. A further request was made on the preceding Wednesday, and again refused, and the writer left for Frankston that afternoon to arrange for due notice of the impending stoppage of the works. On his arrival there a phone message came through, advising that the Coal Board had reconsidered the company’s request, and intended issuing an order for a truck of coal. This order was not available until Thursday, and by the time the coal could be carted from yards and loaded it was Friday before the truck could be despatched. The Railway Department gave special attention, and hurried the truck through, but it was midday on the Saturday before it reached Frankston. Our staff did all possible to meet the situation, and gas was available in the afternoon for cooking and lighting, but there was not a sufficient quantity to enable the gas engines of the electric plant to be started, hence the position at the Mechanics’ Hall, to which you DECKING T/Pine 70x22 KD ACQ ........................... $2.70mt T/Pine 90x22 KD ACQ ........................... $3.50mt T/Pine 140x22 KD ACQ ......................... $6.25mt Merbau 70x19 Random ........................ $4.75mt Merbau 90x19 Random ........................ $6.50mt Merbau 140x22 Random .................... $13.95mt

circumstances, especially when it is remembered that during the past twelve months there have been, about six months of shipping strikes, with all their disturbing influences – as only those engaged in running plants or manufacturing can adequately appreciate. All credit is due to our staff for the way they have worked under most trying conditions. Yours faithfully, JOHN DITCHBURN. Managing Director. Melbourne, February 18, 1920. *** LAST Saturday the town was gay with bunting in honor of the return of Corporal Bray, of Petrie Street, after several years’ active service abroad. *** A NUMBER of interesting items dealt with by the Frankston Progress Association at its meeting held on Tuesday last will be given space in next week’s “Standard.” *** FRANKSTON is entering on its third week minus a light supply.

refer. Perhaps recent happenings and metropolitian newspaper reports will show you and others that the coal position was very acute three weeks ago, and is still worse to-day. It should be borne in mind that a coal which will do for steaming and household purposes may be quite unsuitable for gas-making. With the exception of a period of about two hours during the recent seamen’s strike, there has been no stoppage of a gas output during the whole period of the company’s ownership of the works. In regard to your complaint of not being properly advised of the stoppage, one of our staff called at your place amongst others, but he found no one on the premises. One of your staff, however, was advised of the position on the Thursday. You have, therefore, no reason to complain of exceptional treatment. Reference is made to purifying the gas. For your information, this matter has been under consideration for some time past, but the difficulty has been to make the connections without a stoppage of the gas supply. The present stoppage affords the opportunity of adding another purifier if we can secure a sufficient supply of cement, which like many other things, is a very scarce commodity at present. Every effort will be made to install the purifier during the enforced stoppage. In conclusion, let me add that running a gas and electric light works is no easy proposition under existing

Full particulars appear in advertisement. *** ON the occasion of last week’s visit the Governor-General’s Party was met at the Frankston railway station by cars from the Peninsula Motor Garage. Despite the extremely sandy nature of the unmade roads the two powerful Buicks accomplished their task in fine style under the skillful management of the Company’s expert chauffeurs greatly to the astonishment and delight of His Excellency. *** THE building at Somerville known as the old school, has just been removed. The dismantling of this old landmark, erected in the early sixties revived memories of happy school-boy days in the minds of more than one of our old residents. *** THE members of the Frankston Branch of the R.S.S.I.L.A. intend entertaining the members of the Mornington Racing Club at the Mechanics’ Hall to-morrow evening, when Mr Herbert Downward will submit a financial statement to the Memorial Committee in connection with the recent benefit race meeting. A cheque for £200 on account has already been received by Mr A. G. Wilcox, president of the local branch and when the final settlement is made it is expected that the amount raised for the Frankston fund will exceed £300. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 27 February 1920

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The Octogenarian’s Smorgasbord By Stuart McCullough RECENTLY my father turned 80. Which, given his insatiable appetite for danger, is quite an achievement. For a man who regards a ‘use by date’ as a serving suggestion, his state of rude health is nothing short of a miracle. Eightieth birthdays don’t come along too often and it was an event we marked by heading to the hills to a restaurant called ‘The Cuckoo’. It had been a family favourite for a time and after an intermission of some thirty years, it seemed only fitting that we should return. For those unfamiliar with ‘The Cuckoo’, it’s one of those ‘all you can eat’ establishments and, for a long time, was the connoisseur’s choice when it came to dining / floorshow experiences, especially when compared to the brasher, flashier ‘Swagman’ restaurant. If ‘The Swagman’ was the Mount Olympus of smorgasbords, ‘The Cuckoo’ was more your Mount Donna Buang – practical, down to earth and accessible by Corolla. We felt more comfortable there. When, in the early nineties, The Swagman burned to a cinder like a gigantic piece of pork crackling, we felt strangely vindicated. They were big trips. Epic voyages from Tyabb to Dandenong Ranges during which we listened to a cassette entitled ‘The Beatle Ballads’ that my father received free with a magazine. The trip was especially daunting as it involved the piloting of a Toyota Tarago through the winding roads of the Dandenongs in the dark. This was back in the eighties, long before head-
lights had been perfected. It’s not for the faint hearted. The engine would roar with strain on the way up and there was always the chance the entire exercise would need to be abandoned because the family mini-van simply wasn’t up to the task. Long queues of more agile vehicles would form behind us as we pressed on towards
our culinary destination. Once there, it was a case of keeping a lid on your excitement. The idea that you could eat whatever you liked in whatever quantity you desired was mind blowing as a teenager. Until that time, meals had never really involved choice. They simply were as they were. But the freedom to stack your
plate with a mountain of sauerkraut was eye-opening, even if that particular choice would have profound consequences for fellow travelers on the trip home. On one fateful trip, I ate an entire bowl of caviar believing this represented sound value for money, despite the fact it didn’t taste very good. Having consumed a lifetime’s supply in one evening, I’ve not taken so much as a mouthful since. People look down on places like ‘The Cuckoo’ but I’ve no idea why. There’s something incredibly egalitarian about them. Not matter what your status, you’ve got to line up for pavlova, just like everybody else. It’s odd, when you think about it. There are tonnes of television shows about cooking and restaurants, but not a single one about theatre restaurants. In an ideal world, a contestant would be required to whip up a croquembouche before performing ‘Adel Weis’ using nothing but cowbells whilst wearing lederhosen. That’s entertainment. Restaurants that feature a floor show never get the respect they deserve. More’s the pity. I can see why my father’s so fond of the place. ‘All you can eat’ has a certain, undeniable appeal for him and those of his generation. My father was born during World War II into a world of conflict, of rationing and uncertainty. Now that I think about it, it’s slightly ironic that we chose to celebrate his birthday at a German restaurant at all. He grew up in a town called Rushworth in Northern Victoria, where a term like ‘smorgasbord’ would see you treated with the
upmost suspicion. He’s come a long way in eighty years. Rushworth is a small town, not too far from Shepparton. My father went from that small town to living in Coburg to finish schooling at University High before going to university and working as a high school teacher, a Personnel Manager/Administrator with the CRB and newsagent before retiring to become an agent provocateur. He’s experienced a lot, but appears to have missed the nineteen sixties entirely. Despite being born in the same year as John Lennon, he was strangely immune to the Beatles. Just the one cassette. In the car. He never owned anything that remotely resembled rock music. He almost took a perverse pride in having willfully obscure taste. Luckily, he embraced the nineteen seventies with relish and owned a number of vests, baby blue suits and sideburns so large that they could be seen from space. That he carried these through into the eighties says more about his sense of sartorial loyalty than it does his sense of fashion. It’s strange to think that my father is now an octogenarian. What he’ll do with an extra six arms is a mystery to me. All the better to pile as much as possible onto his plate, I guess. Life itself is something of a smorgasbord – it’s impossible to do everything, you have to make choices. All any of us can hope for is that we make enough right choices to make a trip to the Dandenongs worth the while. Happy birthday Pete. Avoid the caviar. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Double century dooms Flinders to defeat, Heatherhill win thriller By Brodie Cowburn
PENINSULA
A CENTURY from Jake Theobald got Heatherhill over the line in a nail biter against Pines. Chasing 253 to win on day two, Heatherhill had a tough task ahead of them. Heatherill ended up in a difficult position at 7/156 before Theobald took control. He scored 102 not out. Heatherhill ended up getting over the line with just two wickets in hand and four balls left to spare. Things were more comfortable for Somerville on Saturday, as they put Moorooduc to the sword. Somerville had already wrapped up a win on day one, and were looking for an outright win on day two. They made 274 in their first innings in response to Moorooduc’s 104. Moorooduc made 187 in their second innings on day two. Somerville came in to bat for eight overs and made the 20 runs they needed to secure the outright win. Pearcedale also had a tough day on Saturday, succumbing to an innings defeat at the hands of Red Hill. The Hillmen declared for 242, with Pearcedale making just 72 in response. Pearcedale were made to follow on, and didn’t fare any better in their sec-
ond innings. They were dismissed for 52 runs, losing outright by an innings and over 100 runs. At Ditterich Reserve, Long Island chased down Main Ridge’s total. Needing 161 to win, Long Island reached their target with six wickets in hand. Brad Bailey’s unbeaten century was the highlight.
DISTRICT
SEAFORD Tigers managed to secure the narrowest of wins over Dromana on Saturday. Chasing 158 to win, a middle order collapse put Seaford Tigers in a world of trouble. A half century from opener Ashley Mills to kick their innings off ended up proving the difference. The Tigers steadied the ship late, and ended up scraping over the line with just one wicket to spare. At Cyril Fox Reserve, Crib Point failed to chase down an attainable target against Delacombe Park. Needing 119 to win, Crib Point were never able to get going. None of their batsmen were able to stand up, and they ended up all out for just 100. Andrew Stapleton was the best of the bowlers, taking 4/32. Those were his best figures for the year. Both sides came out for a second innings, but neither wrapped up a second
innings win. After grabbing a first innings win on day one, Hastings weren’t able to go on to defeat Mt Martha outright on day two. Having chased down a total of 80, Hastings started on 1/104 on the second day of play. They declared for 197. Mt Martha had a better second innings, batting out the day and finishing at 8/172. At Olympic Park, Rosebud secured a win on their home turf. They defeated Carrum by 80 runs. Michael Clavin grabbed a five wicket haul for the winning side.
SUB DISTRICT
SEAFORD managed to defeat Boneo in a low scoring contest on Saturday. Chasing 104 to win, a knock of 48 from opener Dil Pageni proved helpful for Seaford. Their middle order didn’t offer much support, but they still managed to get over the line with five wickets to spare. Seaford ended up collapsing soon after wrapping up a first innings victory, and were bowled out for 138. Boneo came in for a second innings and finished the day at 0/55. Skye had a tough day at home, being smashed by an innings. Their Tootgarook opponents were
ruthless. Having chased down 108 to win on day one, Tootgarook declared at the close of play last week at 7/247. Skye made just 85 runs in their second innings off less than 30 overs, dooming them to an innings defeat. Adeel Hussain took five wickets for the victors. Frankston YCW also did things comfortably on Saturday. They made quick work of Ballam Park. Having set a total of 320 on day one, the Stonecats were near certainties to win. Ballam Park couldn’t even get close, being bowled out for 102 on the second day of play. The Stonecats bowling lineup shared the load, with five different bowlers grabbing wickets. Balnarring weren’t able to chase down a target of 205 as they played host to Rye. Batsman Brenton Taylor scored 48 and was the best performer for the losing side. They fell short by 68 runs. At Bunguyan Reserve, Carrum Downs wrapped up a win over Tyabb.
PROVINCIAL
A DOMINANT double century by Dylan O’Malley got Peninsula OB the win on Saturday, O’Malley was untouchable, carrying his bat through the innings and finish-
ing the day at 215 not out. The massive total moved him up to fourth on the list of run scorers across the division this season. His Old Boys side were chasing 212 to win against Flinders. They ended up making 4/270. The top of the table clash between Sorrento and Mt Eliza ended up being a one sided affair, with Sorrento succumbing to a tough defeat. The top of the ladder Sharks had a shocking day, not getting anywhere near their target of 171. They were bowled out for a paltry total of 76. Tom Baron was excellent for Mt Eliza on day two, bowling 15 maidens from his 31 overs. He finished with figures of 5/27. At Lloyd Park, Langwarrin managed to grab a narrow 30 run win over Baxter. Langwarrin made 180 on day one. Baxter’s run chase got off to a nightmare start, and at 4/10 they had a lot of work to do. Their middle order got things back on track but the damage had been done. Baxter ended up all out for 151. At Alexandra Park, Baden Powell defended their total of 326 with ease. Mornington made 156 before being sent packing. Thomas Panich worked hard for them, putting 86 runs on the board.

Seaford, Chelsea still in Cup SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie SEAFORD United and Chelsea were the only local clubs to survive last weekend’s round of FFA Cup matches. Chelsea defeated Laverton 5-3 on penalties after the sides were locked at 1-1 after 120 minutes. Chelsea’s goal came from last year’s club top scorer Tom Woods seconds before the end of normal time. At North Seaford Reserve on Sunday the home side triumphed 3-0 over Albert Park in a match highlighted by the sending off of Albert Park’s Kyle Maclean in the 22nd minute, a twice saved penalty in the second half by Seaford keeper Justin Holland and the appearance off the Seaford bench of club legend Andy Lancaster in the 65th minute. In the 15th minute a superb through ball from Ryan Ramsden set up Waugh but he was tripped and a penalty awarded. Seaford player-coach and sweeper Matt Morris-Thomas converted with ease to make it 1-0. Maclean’s second yellow for body checking Waugh ended his part in the contest and gave the home side an important advantage in the hot conditions. A minute into the second half Scott Webster played the ball over the top and Waugh knocked it over the head of a defender as he turned inside before hitting home a low right-foot shot to make it 2-0. In the 53rd minute Ramsden got clear thanks to a quick long throw from Waugh on the left and neatly lobbed the advancing keeper to make it 3-0. When assistant coach Lancaster came on you’d be excused for thinking this was a Bayside Cup tie but he quickly showed his touch and despite the generation gap some of his younger teammates were put to shame as the ball bounced and bobbled away from them on regular occasions. Webster tripped the best player on the pitch, Albert Park’s Domenic Hendry, giving away a penalty in the 81st minute. Goodness knows why Hendry didn’t attempt the conversion because the twice taken attempts from Eric Orfanos were poor and enabled Holland to redeem himself after looking uncertain in the air in the early part of the match. Somerville Eagles lost 4-1 to fellow State 5 South opponent Endeavour United in their cup clash at Monterey Reserve last Friday night.

Somerville was disappointing with little potency up front and when you deliver the ball into the attacking third the way it did for the most part then recognised goalscorers such as Dave Greening have little chance of being effective. A side story to this one was the clash of rival coaches and close friends Billy Rae of Somerville and Endeavour’s Billy Armour as the former had been appointed Armour’s assistant late last year before taking on the Somerville job. It took 14 minutes for Endeavour to open the scoring through ex-Langwarrin and Frankston Pines striker Matty Durand with the big man’s well placed header eluding Somerville keeper Nathan Brown. Somerville went further behind later in the half when Brown was caught out by Francois Armansin’s volley which sailed over his head and Somerville came close to hitting back in the 40th minute when Greening struck a superbly timed volley from the edge of the area that thundered against the bar. In the second half Somerville hit back after an excellent interpassing move on the right of the area was finished by Andrew Cook to make it 3-1. But thoughts of a comeback were dashed via a bullet header from Endeavour’s Anthony Mesquita Varudo at the near post.
Mesquita Varudo had just come off the bench and his untracked run to get on the end of a Euclides Goncalves corner from the right was a damning indictment of Somerville’s defence. Durand’s second in injury time completed the scoreline. On Saturday Baxter went down 2-0 at Baxter Park to Darebin United in their cup contest. Baxter more than held its own for long periods but a combination of poor finishing, shoddy defending and some fine goalkeeping from Darebin’s Nick Tzoutzidis proved to be its downfall. Charlie O’Connell raced clear in the 15th minute only to volley over and five minutes later Nico Duric and Nat Daher combined to set up Lewis Gibson who shot wide. Two minutes later Daher was at the near post as O’Connell drove in a low cross but Daher’s first time flick was wide. Darebin’s James Burbos volleyed home the opener in the 29th minute then four minutes later Tzoutzidis tipped over a Daher volley. Baxter should have levelled in the 40th minute when a Gibson corner was latched onto by Daher whose shot was parried by Tzoutzidis to Matt McDermott and his header struck the underside of the bar. Right on half-time Darebin’s Chris
Dimitropoulos shot over from close range. In the 70th minute Burbos shot wide when well positioned but five minutes later a long low shot from Jordan Constan bounced in front of diving Baxter keeper James Foster and inside the far post to make it 2-0. A minute later Darebin’s Frankie Drakopoulos was sent off but by then the damage was done. Baxter has confirmed that it has lost both Stuart McKenzie and Tim Lee this season due to work commitments but it should still be very competitive especially once the fitness and sharpness of O’Connell improves. The young striker is returning from a knee injury that stopped him playing at Mornington but Baxter is looking forward to developing his partnership with Nathan Yole who was unavailable for the cup clash. From all reports Yole has recovered from a chronic back injury and if O’Connell stays sound physically they should play an important part in how Baxter’s season pans out. Young Seaford striker Conor Mcfall trained at Baxter last week. The draw for the next round of the FFA Cup took place as went to press and included Frankston Pines along with other State 3 teams. Matches take place this weekend. Last weekend’s friendly results:

Langwarrin 0 Box Hill United 1; Werribee City 4 Mornington 2 (Bentley, Gordon); Peninsula Strikers 0 South Springvale 1; Pakenham Utd 1 Skye Utd 5 (Nowakoski 2, Turner, Saffin, Collier); Frankston Pines 0 Beaumaris 4; Aspendale Stingrays 4 (Macnab penalty, Garside, Hughes, Timuska-Carr) Tullamarine 3; Endeavour Sporting 5 Mount Martha 3 (Mooney 2, Sanderson); Rosebud 3 (Osorio, Hicks, Pagliarulo) Maribyrnong Greens 0. An outstanding goalkeeping display from Box Hill’s Christian Rossi kept Langwarrin at bay on Saturday while his counterpart at the other end of the pitch, James Burgess, let in a soft goal in the second half. Mornington was 2-0 up against Werribee but its NPL2 opponent drew level before scoring twice in the last four minutes including a controversial penalty. Sam Scott got through 45 minutes for the first time in nine months and there may be more good news from Dallas Brooks Park shortly. South Springvale took the lead against Strikers after 19 minutes and the best chance for the home side fell to Ben Doree in the second half but he struck the side netting. All four Fijian internationals –midfielder Savenaca Baledrokadroka, goalkeeper Asaeli Batikasa, defender Peni Tuigulagula and striker Tito Vodowaqa – played for Pines against Beaumaris and did well. Pacy striker Mitch Lander has returned to Pines and scored a hat-trick in Saturday night’s reserves match. State 5 South outfit Aspendale Stingrays are keen to bolster their senior squad and are on the lookout for another defender, a midfielder and a striker. If interested contact head coach Lee Barber at unclee01@gmail.com or club president Derrick Berends at president@aspendalesc.com. The seniors train on Tuesday and Thursday at Cornish College, Bangholme at 6.30pm but plan to move to Jack Grut Reserve in the next few weeks when training will start at 7.30pm. This week’s pre-season friendlies: SATURDAY: Langwarrin v Nunawading City, Lawton Park, 4.30pm (U18s), 2pm (U20s), 4pm (seniors); Mornington v Caroline Springs George Cross, Dallas Brooks Park, 4pm; Bentleigh Cobras v Peninsula Strikers, Lemnian Community Centre, Braeside, 11am & 1pm; HMAS Cerberus v Rosebud, Cerberus Naval Base, 1pm & 3pm.

Begg said they won’t need to do too much with Miss Siska heading into Sat-

We don’t overwork her, we just let her poke through her gears. Steve Roberts down there [at Pinecliff] does a wonderful job with the staff and he’s got her going really well.” Following on from her run in the Australian Cup, Begg said a trip up to

Sydney could also be on the cards for Miss Siska if all goes to plan on Saturday. “We’ve had a bit of luck up there in the last two years and we’ll certainly head up there if we think it’s right,” he said. “We’ve got to be mindful of wet tracks up there because she loves being up on top of the ground, so we’ll see how it plays out.”

By Ben Triandafillou GRAHAME Begg’s talented mare, Miss Siska, will be out to win her third race in succession on Saturday 7 March when she lines up in the Group 1 Australian Cup at Flemington. The younger sister of the dual Group 1 winning sprinter, Hay List, defeated several key runners of the Australian Cup two weeks ago at Caulfield when saluting in the Group 2 Peter Young Stakes on Saturday 22 February. The six-year-old daughter of So You Think, who is trained out of Jonathon Munz’s Pinecliff property in Mt Eliza, is really starting to hit her straps this preparation, according to her trainer Grahame Begg. “I know she’s getting on in age, but I think last preparation really seasoned her up for this current preparation,” Begg said. “She hasn’t had a lot of racing but she’s only probably starting to come to the fore now.” Miss Siska followed up a dominant first-up performance with a tough on-pace victory over Australian Cup contenders Kings Will Dream, Regal Power, Mirage Dancer and 2018 and 2019 Australian Cup victor, Harlem, last start. Despite the track clearly favouring those on speed across the Caulfield meeting, jockey Damian Lane said she didn’t have it as easy as some may think. “It wasn’t all rainbows and lollipops like last start,” he said. “I had to do a bit of work early and she had to do all the work outside of the leader.
