Mornington News 4 February 2014

New page in history set to be written VICTORIA’S most lucrative country cup meeting is growing in stature every year, as the Melbourne Racing Club continues to invest in Sportingbet Mornington Cup Day. In 2014, $1 million will be up for grabs on the 10-race card, headlined by the richest non-metropolitan cup in Australia, the listed $350,000 Sportingbet Mornington Cup (2400m).

A ballot-exempt race for one of Australian racing’s grand slam events, the group one $3 million Caulfield Cup, the Mornington Cup this year is shaping as an exciting prospect, with several promising stayers aiming for cup glory at the picturesque peninsula jewel.

Racing’s leading lady, Gai Waterhouse, learnt a lot in her first visit to Mornington last year and will again take aim at the top prize with dashing front-runner Laidback Larry.

Last year a fairytale story began in the Mornington Cup when elite jumper Tuscan Fire made the transition back to flat racing with a bang, grinding his rivals into the ground with an all-the-way win to earn his connections a Caulfield Cup dream.

This year will bring a mix of imported gallopers and gifted local talent from around Australia facing off in a true staying test, which has earned the Mornington Cup the tag as one of the hardest races to win on the national racing calendar.

A superb undercard is headed by the listed $120,000 Hareeba Stakes (1200m), while the $250,000 Inglis Premier (1200m) will again prove a nursery for future stars of the turf when the Inglis-purchased babies race for the rich prize.

The day’s features will round out with the culmination of the Mitavite Summer Challenge, the $80,000 Mitavite Summer Challenge Final (1600m), a race trainers from all round Victoria have targeted through some exhilarating heats in order to compete in the lucrative final.

Experience the thrill of racing, Peninsula style at the 2014 Sportingbet Mornington Cup!

Cup patrons ready to embrace sisterly love SPORTINGBET Mornington Cup day will have an extra special touch in 2014, with representatives of Love Your Sister on course to raise awareness of breast cancer and the need for more funding to help improve early detection.

Love Your Sister is the brainchild of renowned Australian entertainment personalities Samuel Johnson and his sister, Connie.

Having fought off a very rare and aggressive bone tumour at the age of 11 and another in her womb at 22, Connie, now 37 and a mother of two beautiful boys, is enduring her third battle with the disease, breast cancer, which has spread to her lungs, pelvis, spine and knee.

This time it is terminal and she has a life expectancy of just 6-12 months.

Faced with the fight of her life, Connie set Samuel the toughest challenge she could think of. It started as a joke in the kitchen but turned into a promise to:  Set a new Guinness World Record for the most distance travelled on a unicycle;  Raise $1 million, and;  Spread Connie’s message of breast cancer awareness.

Samuel’s 15,000km unicycle mission is now near completion and concludes with a Welcome Home Samuel event at Mornington Racecourse on Saturday, February 15.

His mission to raise $1 million has already been exceeded, with funds raised so far topping $1.3 million.

As part of the prelude to the big cup day event, members of the ‘sisterhood’ will be on course at Mornington on Wednesday, February 12.

Cup patrons will be encouraged to contribute to this wonderful, vital cause.

For information or to purchase tickets for the Love Your Sister Welcome Home Samuel party, visit www. easybookings.com.au/event/welcome-home-sam or call Susan Clavin on 0417 141 007.

Ready to shine MORNINGTON Park Primary School may not be one of the peninsula’s bigger schools, but principal Bev Dadds thinks it may well be the happiest. She last week welcomed a record 33 new prep pupils to the school including, from left, Ocean, Grace, Ryder and Oliver, taking total numbers to 163. Ms Dadds said the school was going through a boom in recent years, due in part to increasing numbers of families moving to the area, but mostly because of the nurturing community-focused learning environment that had been created.

Mornington Park is also one of the only schools in Victoria to provide dual-stream learning, offering both Steiner and mainstream classes. “It’s a wonderful school, with a beautiful atmosphere and fantastic community – a real hidden treasure,� she said, adding that families from across the peninsula were now sending their children to the school.

Free dinners for needy

By Keith Platt and Chris Brennan WHILE Mornington’s hotels, cafes and restaurants are often overflowing with patrons, the town has a hidden army of hungry people.

Virtually unseen are the hundreds of people being fed through vouchers, the SecondBite program, and breakfasts and lunches for schoolchildren.

Free dinners are now being served on Mondays and Fridays at Bellamy Hall, behind St Peter’s Church in Queen St.

Holidaymakers enjoying Mornington’s many attractions would be unaware that Mornington Community Information and Resource Centre handed out 60 per cent more food vouchers in the past two weeks than over Christmas, its traditional busiest time. “Many families have exhausted their finances over Christmas and the holiday and simply can’t afford backto-school expenses,� resource centre manager Lisa Elliott said. “We’re actually starting a soup kitch-

It’s never happened before in Mornington so that tells you how bad things have become. “Life is just too expensive for many families with the rising costs of rent, utility bills and car registration.

Call to arms monitor plastic threat

By Chris Brennan A NEW wave of micro-sized plastic pollutant is finding its way into Port Phillip in ever-increasing volumes, sparking growing concern among environmental watchdogs who warn urgent monitoring and research into the problem is required.

Thousands of pre-production plastic pellets known colloquially as nurdles have been found throughout the waterway and on beaches as far south as Mornington, Dromana and Sorrento.

The tiny pellets – usually between 3-5 millimetres in diameter – are petrochemical products that are poured into moulds and melted down at factories across the planet to form virtually everything made from plastic.

But increasing numbers of the pellets are escaping into the environment where they pose a deadly threat to wildlife.

Port Phillip Eco Centre director Neil Blake said birds and fish often mistook the pellets for food, which could not only result in starvation but also meant toxins they contained were entering the food chain.

“Research has proven that the pellets absorb other toxins,” he said. “They’re then swallowed by birds and fish, and enter the food chain, which is a serious concern.”

Mr Blake, who also heads the Baykeeper education and advocacy program, said safety procedures at industrial plants were clearly inadequate, and research and monitoring efforts by marine groups to track nurdles were in their infancy.

He has begun conducting nurdle surveys at Port Phillip beaches, in parallel

with an existing seashell survey program run by Baykeeper, and recently visited Mornington, Dromana and Sorrento.

“We found a number of them at these locations, which is a concern because they would have escaped from production facilities far away in the city and further inland,” he said.

“That they have made it to Sorrento is significant and also indicates some may be washing into Bass Strait as well, so that’s a situation we really need to continue to monitor.

“Our suspicion is that the volume of this form of pollutant is incremental and ongoing, which rings the alarm on the management practices being employed by industry from where they’re escaping.

“At this stage we don’t really know how significant the problem is, but the evidence to date certainly rings alarm bells. We need to continue monitoring the situation to build a more comprehensive picture over an extended period of time to gain a fuller picture of exactly how significant the issue is.”

Mr Blake has issued a call to arms for peninsula “beach lovers” to sign up and hit the front lines in the battle to turn the tide on pollution in Port Phillip.

He said there was an urgent need for more volunteers to begin ongoing surveys at peninsula beaches to help monitor pollution and water health.

Volunteers need to spend only 20-30 minutes a week at a single location on an ongoing basis.

“We need citizen science to help build a clearer understanding of these trends,” he said. “We really need on-

going monitoring and observation, especially now that there are far fewer professional marine scientists being employed to study Port Phillip.”

Baykeepers has been conducting regular and ongoing shellfish surveys at Port Phillip beaches for the past six years, which has helped build an ongoing profile of bay health.

“Shellfish play a vital role in recycling nutrients entering waterways so the shellfish population provides a good indication of the health of Port Phillip,” Mr Blake said.

To register interest in surveys, email Neil Blake through the website: www. bay-keeper.com

Sinking feeling: A thong caught under the accelerator was the difference between a fun afternoon on a power ski and a long walk home for a man in Mornington last Friday.

Pier work finally underway

By Mike Hast WORK to replace the condemned, outer section of Mornington pier is set to start next week.

Parks Victoria contractor K V Johnson Constructions will first remove about 230 piles before building begins.

In May 2012, the state government announced it would spend up to $15 million to replace the outer, 75-metre section, closed since August 2010 after a series of storms.

Work was due to start before Christmas and stop for the peak season but Parks Victoria changed the construction schedule.

Mornington will have its new pier before Christmas 2014, taking the lion’s share of the government’s $23 million for local port infrastructure upgrades. When completed, the govern-

ment will have spent at least $18.5 million on the pier since August 2010 when the middle section was replaced.

Mornington MP David Morris said the new outer section had been “designed to better withstand the conditions at Mornington�. “While modern construction techniques and materials will be used to ensure the new pier is much more serviceable than the structure it replaces, the top will include timber decking and finishes in keeping with the historic precinct,� he said.

Mr Morris said the town’s first pier was built in 1857. “A report on the planned pier, presented to both Houses of the Victorian Parliament in 1856, estimated the cost of the project at ÂŁ4380.â€?

The new section would have wave screens to

better protect the harbour, he said. A low landing would enable easier access to boats, and provide a platform for fishers.

Ports Minister David Hodgett said the pier was one of the most visited in Port Phillip with more than 2 million visits each year.

Part of the new, middle section will be closed to the public during construction.

In June 2011, The News reported the outer section was in danger of collapsing after engineers found 20 per cent of wooden pylons had failed or were about to fail and were not supporting the top deck.

About half of the remaining 80 per cent were in “average condition� and the outer section was one big storm away from becoming irreparable damaged. Luckily that storm did not arrive.

Diabetes camp a life saver FIFTY teens from across Victoria came together over the school holidays for a unique camp at Somers that aims to empower people with type 1 diabetes by teaching them to self-manage their illness.

Participants in the program not only gain valuable education and guidance into how to looking after their own health, they’re also able to connect into a large network of other teens living with type 1 diabetes.

Activities at the annual Diabetes Camp Australia event included swimming with dolphins, surfing, bowling and a disco on the last night.

The camps are fully supervised with about 32 volunteers, 13 diabetes nurse educators, doctor, dietitian and dietitian assistant.

Among those at this year’s camp was Langwarrin teen Brii Kapetanovski who said the experience had taught her to never give up because “even at the darkest of times, even if you don’t believe it, or see it, there are people who have not given up on you�. “There are people who are there to give every last bit of advice or help they can, just to make that little bit of difference to you – which is simply amazing,�

After being first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes while in year 7, she

Keep on swimming: Langwarrin teen Brii Kapetanovski was able to swim with seals and dolphins while learning valuble skills at Diabetes Camp Australia in Somers.

was forced to remain in hospital for a week and was told she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed home until she could do her multiple daily insulin injections and blood glucose testing by herself.

While she said the experience of living with diabetes was challenging, it was also often rewarding, and had in many way enriched her life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diabetes gets in the way and shows up at the most awkward, inconvenient time, however to some extent it makes you, you,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes you value your life more and makes you look at things differently. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Just keep swimmingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as Dory [from Finding Nemo] would say.â&#x20AC;?

Brii said the best part of the camp had been swimming with seals and dolphins, but she also valued having honest conversations with fellow campers, leaders and health professionals and to â&#x20AC;&#x153;know that, 100 per cent, you are not judgedâ&#x20AC;?.

In a few years when Brii turns 18, she plans to return to camp as a leader, offering the same vital support she received.

Every year, 200 young people living with type 1 diabetes miss out on camps due to funding shortfalls.

Record numbers at schools

By Chris Brennan RECORD numbers of Mornington Peninsula children took the first steps on their 13-year education journey last week, with 2000 preps starting school.

They joined more than 23,000 students returning for the 2014 year at the peninsula’s 29 primary and six secondary schools.

Education Minister Martin Dixon said statistics showed this year’s intake of preps was the biggest ever on the peninsula, with more young families choosing to move to the region, due in large part to Peninsula Link.

Department of Education forecast about 1500 prep enrolments in state schools this year in Mornington Peninsula Shire, with hundreds more joining the Catholic and independent school systems.

This compares with 900 students starting year 7 and 800 entering year 12 at state secondary schools in the shire.

Mr Dixon said peninsula schools were well equipped to deal with the extra numbers, and welcomed the influx of families to the region.

“It just shows how the peninsula is becoming even more popular with young families who are now able to commute to work in much less time thanks to Peninsula Link while enjoying the fantastic lifestyle the peninsula offers,” Mr Dixon said.

The Nepean MP said that in Victoria, more than 75,000 preps had joined the school system, in addition to more than 820,000 students who last week returned to school to start the year.

“The start of the school year is an exciting time – and I am sure everyone is eager to get the year going,” Mr Dixon said.

However, charity groups have warned back-to-school costs were pushing many peninsula families over the brink as parents struggled to find extra funds to pay for uniforms, textbooks, camps, school service fees and other costs.

About 890,600 students will attend Victorian schools this year – the highest on record – with 498,200 in primary schools and 392,400 secondary students. About 562,900 students are attending government schools, compared to 337,700 in the private sector.

A new report shows Victorian students are staying in school longer than ever before, and are more likely to continue on to further education.

The Productivity Commission’s 2014 Report of Government Services showed Victoria remained well ahead

of the national average participation rates at school and in higher education.

Mr Dixon said the findings showed Victorian students placed a high value on education.

“It is pleasing to see Victoria has the highest retention rate for years 10-12 of any state … and also pleasing that Victoria is the only state with higher than 90 per cent school attendance rates in Years 1-10,” he said.

“This is an area where we are continuing to seek improvement through our new attendance reforms.”

The report also showed Victoria had the best quality early childhood education and care in the country, with higher kindergarten enrolment rates than any other state.

Under Australia’s new rating and assessment regime for the early learning sector, Victorian children’s services outperformed interstate counterparts, with 74 per cent of services either

meeting or exceeding national quality standards, compared to a national average of 66 per cent.

More than 70,000 Victorian fouryear-olds will be starting preschool this week, with participation rates at record highs.

Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development Wendy Lovell said four-year-old kindergarten was pivotal to children’s education.

“This is a very exciting time for Victorian families who, judging from record kinder participation rates (98.2 per cent in 2013), understand and appreciate the value of a high-quality kindergarten education,” she said.

“We know that high-quality early childhood education is crucial for children in their early years as it helps them develop the skills they need to go on and thrive through their schooling years.”  With the new school year having just begun, police have urged drivers to

take extra car on the roads, especially around schools.

Reduced speeds in school zones are now back in force, with hefty fines in place for drivers who fail to obey 40 or 60km/h speed limits.

State highway patrol Inspector Simon Humphrey said the reduced speed limits were in place around schools to protect children, who were our most vulnerable road users.

“Children can be unpredictable and drivers need to be aware of this,” he said.

“Unfortunately this excitement can lead to distraction when crossing the road or walking near parked cars. It’s important for drivers to avoid distraction and drive safely in school zones.”

Inspector Humphrey said police were running a number of operations in school zones across the state and would be cracking down on those caught doing the wrong thing.

Stellar summer for tourism business TOURISM operators on the peninsula have had a stellar season so far with many reporting a 20 per cent or higher jump in sales and bookings on last year.

Final figures are still being compiled for Mornington Peninsula Shire’s annual summer round-up, which will be presented later this month.

Some operators have reported a large increase in visitors from Asia, and many tourists from overseas and Australia stayed longer and spent more.

Not everything has been smooth sailing with unseasonal windy weather and rough seas hampering Port Phillip cruises.

Some operators reported the highestever number of cancelled boat trips in December and January.

The four-day heatwave mid-January, the hottest ever recorded, was a double-edged sword with some holiday village owners reporting sales of preprepared meals, salad and wines “going through the roof”.

But the blistering heat kept golfers away from the peninsula’s world-class courses. Late or last-minute bookings influenced by the weather are becoming the norm.

Foreshore campers are increasingly extending their bookings through to Easter.

The cherry on the tourism cake was just that – cherry farmers said the season had been a bumper one with farms sold out on many days due to increased numbers of visitors.

Peninsula Link freeway being opened all summer has been partly responsible for the increase in business.

Many Melburnians have realised they can drive to the peninsula in about an hour.

Final figures are likely to show that the peninsula’s population increased by more than 70,000 people over summer. The number of day-trippers also is likely to be far higher than last summer.

Emma gets an appetite to eat WHILE eating an apple seems normal to most people, biting into the fruit is a major step forward for Emma Coles.

Seven-year-old Emma has started eating solid food after a prolonged battle with food aversion.

Efforts to overcome her fear of eating over the past six years have involved treatment in the United States and at Peninsula Health’s feeding clinic.

Emma was born at 27 weeks and began refusing all solids at 10 months before being diagnosed with a severe food aversion.

The condition caused her to become distressed by the sight, smell, touch and taste of food.

“Emma’s food aversion appeared to have been caused by difficulties with processing sensory information such as smell, touch and taste,” Peninsula Health speech pathologist Danielle Surwald said.

“Consequently, as a young infant, Emma made strong associations between eating and negative experiences – feeling uncomfortable, nauseous – and developed a fear or phobia around food and eating.”

Ms Surwald has been working with Emma since 2007 in conjunction with dieticians.

The results have led to Emma now eating two small meals a day, with her lunchbox consisting of soup and yoghurt, replacing her previous formula-only diet. She now requires

one fortified formula drink during school.

Ms Surwald said Emma was also learning how to bite and chew more solid foods.

Emma underwent a comprehensive food education program at a dedicated sensory therapy centre in the US known as STAR (Sensory Therapies And Research) at the beginning of 2012.

“The specialised non-profit centre in Colorado provides children and their families with education about sensory regulation, social engagement and coaching,” Ms Surwald said.

“During her time at the clinic, Emma underwent an intensive program through which she achieved numerous feeding, physical and sensory tolerance goals.

“Most significantly, Emma gained the ability to hold and play with food products as well as sitting at a table with food without high levels of stress or anxiety.”

Step forward: Emma Coles, right, is finally able to eat apples after years of treatment for food aversion. Speech pathologist Danielle Surwald, left, is part of the team that has been helping Emma get an appetite.

Meals for needy

Award for surgeon

Continued from Page 1

There were 54 people lining up on the first day to receive fresh food “rescued” by SecondBite and distributed to needy people.

Ms Elliott said 85 people were now being fed each week by the program, saving them $30 to $40 a week.

Food was also being supplied to six other community organisations for a further 130 people and Mornington Park Primary School, which served pupils breakfast daily and a roast one day a week.

Rotary Club of Mornington has given $3000 from its annual art show for a 10-week trial of the Monday and Friday dinners.

The meals are being prepared by the not-for-profit Karingal organisation in Rosebud as part of a training course.

Ms Elliott said the idea for providing the weekly meal nights originated at last year’s food security forum organised by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

“The evidence we’re seeing tells us that things are certainly tougher out there financially than in previous years,” she said.

“Not only increased cost of living, but there’s also far less job security nowadays and that means more and longer gaps in income. This often means people simply can’t afford to pay the rent or have to go without food.

“It’s not fair for the government to turn around and blame the poor, our most vulnerable people. It takes the focus off the real issues, which are there’s not enough jobs to go around and welfare support is being wound back. It’s really alarming to see the gap between rich and poor widen so far.

“With every cutback, we have to fill the gap, and this puts us under strain. We’re already under severe financial stress.”

In the past financial year, the support service has helped 5160 families and individuals by providing $74,000 worth of food vouchers; $20,000 in food parcels; $10,000 in donated bread; $10,000 toward school expenses; and $8400 rent arrears to prevent eviction.

Ms Elliott said cooking classes were being planned for younger people: “There’s a whole generation of people out there who can’t cook.”

The dinner will be served at 5.30pm on Mondays and Fridays in Bellamy Hall in Albert St, which is behind St Peter’s Anglican Church in Queen St.

Going digital: Peter Norton at one of Mornington’s University of the Third Age computers. The group has installed an online enrolment system to cope with a growing membership.

U3A enrolments online MORNINGTON’S University of the Third Age has installed an online enrolment system.

It has enabled the group to place members in 168 courses and activities for the beginning of 2014 in a process completed in days rather than weeks using the old paper-based system.

Months of planning and installation was led by tutor and computer expert Peter Norton.

“We are the first of more than 100 U3A branches in Victoria to install a more efficient, member-controlled system,” he said.

“In the past, volunteer members had to manually process large volumes of data over the summer break. The system is part of an upgrade of administrative and teaching facilities to meet the needs of a growing membership.”

U3A Mornington is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation and one of three peninsula branches with a combined membership of 2000, mainly retired and semi-retired men and women.

Mr Norton said U3A offered courses and activities that were “intellectually stimulating, creative and practical”. They included languages, computers, science, philosophy, history, literature, arts, crafts, food, exercises for mind and body, health topics, film and book review groups, and travel and excursions.

The group meets at Currawong Community Centre, 5-17 Currawong St, Mornington.

BREAST cancer surgeon Belinda Jane Brown has received an OAM for “service to medicine”.

One of Dr Brown’s patients was former Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor and now Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley.

Ms Graley had a mastectomy in 2008 and remains appreciative of her care and expertise.

“Belinda is highly valued by the many hundreds of women who have been treated by her and I am sure they share in her joy that she is being acknowledged with the award,” Ms Graley said.

“She always calls a spade a spade, but you are in no doubt that she will give her all to assisting you at one of the worst times in any woman’s life.

“She is hardworking and compassionate and resolute in her fight to make sure her patients get the best treatment, including dealing with the tears. She handed me the tissue box and reached out to me with kindness and good advice.

“Like others I will always be thankful.”

Dr Brown, whose clinic is in Tanti Ave, Mornington, established a breast cancer service on the peninsula in 1992.

Before working at Frankston Hospital, Peninsula Private and Monash Breast Screen in 1993, she was at Hull Royal Infirmary Hospital in the United Kingdom.

She has been a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons since 1990 and was a foundation member of Breast Surgeons of Australia and New Zealand.

From medicos to musos, the gongs of Australia Day

By Mike Hast ONE of the state’s leading environmentalists, a family doctor, champion swimmer, arts administrator and a singer-songwriter in a little band called Australian Crawl were among Mornington Peninsula and Frankston region people to receive honours on Australia Day. Rob Gell, outgoing chairman of Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation, was made a Member in the General Division (AM) for “service to conservation, to the protection of coastal and marine environments, and to the community”.

Mr Gell announced late last year he would leave the biosphere role mid2014 after 10 years of voluntary service at the Hastings-based foundation.

The citation from the Governor-General’s office stated Mr Gell had been an environmental geographer, specialising in coastal geomorphology, since the 1970s.

Other organisations and groups he has been involved with include Greening Australia, Wildlife Victoria, Victorian Coastal Council, Sustainability Street, Surfing Victoria, and Australian Conservation Foundation.

Mr Gell, a former television weatherman and documentary maker, describes himself as an “environmental entrepreneur” and operates a business called World Wind.

Residents to receive a Medal (OAM) in the General Division included:  Long-time Balnarring general practitioner and surf life saving volunteer Graham Cato.  Frankston swimming champion Ellie Cole.  National Gallery of Victoria voluntary guide and administrator Jillian Dwyer of Frankston.  Marysville’s “history hero” Andrew Mackenzie of Mt Eliza, the driving force behind rebuilding the collection

of Marysville and District Historical Society, which was destroyed in the Black Saturday bushfires.  Tourism operator and water safety promoter Judy Muir of Blairgowrie, who has operated a dolphin swimming service since 1986.  Computing pioneer and charity worker Peter Murton of Frankston.  War veterans welfare officer and community worker Ross Pulling of Frankston South.  Singer–songwriter James Reyne of Balnarring, former frontman of legendary band Australian Crawl, founded in Mt Eliza in the 1970s, and a support of a range of charitable organisations.

Other awards:  Peter Schmidt of Sorrento received the Australian Fire Service Medal.  Leading Seaman Lauren King was given the Conspicuous Service Medal for “meritorious achievement as a recruit school instructor at HMAS Cerberus”.  Commander Michael Oborn received a CSM for “meritorious achievement as the executive officer at HMAS Cerberus” at Crib Point.

Graham Cato Dr Cato has been a GP and partner at Balnarring Village Medical Centre since 1979 and a member of the Australian Medical Association for 38 years.

Geeks come bearing laser printer savings

By David Harrison OWNERS of laser printers, especially colour ones, are turning increasingly to non-genuine toner cartridges or refilling their empty ones, ignoring manufacturers’ warnings that this could invalidate the printer warranty.

With branded cartridges costing more than $100, refills or non-genuine cartridges can cost half as much or less. A quiet revolt against high toner prices appears to be worldwide.

My printer – requiring cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) cartridges, each costing a three-figure price – recently told me it would print nothing further until I replaced the colour cartridges. Plenty of black, because the cartridge was fairly new, but no C, M or Y, according to the printer message.

A quick look on the internet proved useful: the geeks have been at work on the ink problem.

Some black ink cartridges can be brought back to life temporarily by simply removing and shaking them to redistribute toner. This does not necessarily work with colour laser printers, which are generally more sophisticated.

With colour printers, manufacturers build in ways of letting people know toner cartridges have run dry. But have they really run out?

Some printers have laser beams that check toner level. The beam is aimed horizontally through a window in the cartridge: when toner empties sufficiently, the beam strikes a reflector in the cartridge opposite the window. This triggers a “low toner” message.

The geek solution: block the laser beam with a bit of putty-like material so it can’t monitor the toner level. Downside: you might run out of toner at an inconvenient time.

One printer owner reported his 3750 pages-percartridge mono printer produced several thou-

sand more pages per cartridge when the beam was blocked.

Another printer has CMYK cartridges each with a cog that revolves as printing occurs. All cogs revolve at the same rate. When cogs reach a mechanical stop, the “out of toner” message is activated, presumably even if toner remains in most of the cartridges. This may occur if most of your printing uses just black toner.

Geek solution: remove the cartridges and carefully reposition the cogs to their starting point, so the printer thinks that toner remains – which it does. Then the toner will keep flowing until it runs out, or the cogs again reach the stop.

It makes sense for printer makers to include ways to warn of imminent lack of toner. But it is expensive stuff, not to be wasted by premature cartridge replacement.

Check online, by searching for your printer make and model, to see if the geeks – clever people, all – have found a way to help you get the most out of your cartridges.

Or you might decide to refill your cartridges at home, or have it done professionally, rather than buying new ones. Many do that now. Either way you might save hundreds of dollars a year.

Motorcyclist killed A MT Eliza motorcyclist died after a head-on collision with a four-wheel drive at Cape Schanck on Saturday afternoon.

Police said the 36-year-old rider was on Boneo Rd when the collision occurred about 3.40pm.

The man was declared dead at the scene.

The male driver of the car and his two passengers, a man and woman, were uninjured.

Police will prepare a report for the Coroner.

The fatality takes the road toll to 26, 12 more than at the same time last year

Mornington News 4 February 2014

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Rails to be overhauled; houses threatened by another bushfire Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 7 February 1914 IN the next few months, the railway department will spend £79,000 in additions and improvements to various lines by relaying with heavier rails and providing extra sleepers and ballast. Among the lines affected will be the line between Mornington Junction and Stony Point, a distance of 14 miles. *** A BUSH fire that may have been attended with very serious consequences, started near the Mile Bridge, Melbourne road, on Sunday last.

Several properties were threatened, but owing to the splendid efforts of a band of fire-fighters, no serious damage was done. *** IN our report of the Frankston show, a slight error occurred. Miss Q. Cameron was credited with taking second prize for best piece of plain sewing, it should have read Miss Q. Gamble. *** THE net proceeds of the concert given by Lady Madden last week in the Frankston Hall, in aid of St. Paul’s church funds, amounted to over £23. This constitutes a record in Frankston, and is highly gratifying to the guardians of the church. *** THE Hastings branch of the Australian Women’s National League held their first meeting this year in the hall, on January 29th, with a fair attendance of members present. A resolution was carried that the donation to “Central” this year be increased by 10s, making it £2. The president

read a paper by Mrs Arthur Robinson, entitled “Duties of Citizenship,” and the meeting closed with “The National Anthem.” *** MISS Betty Plowman has matriculated at the Melbourne University.

She qualified for matriculation by passing in eleven subjects (two with distinction) at the Junior Public and in Group “A” at the Senior Public Examination. The subjects in the junior embraced three in Science, viz. Physics, Chemistry and Botany.

She proposes to prosecute her studies at the University in the School of Architecture with the view of obtaining the University Diploma on that subject. *** MR J. A. Middleton, who for the past 16 years has been in the employ of Messrs A. Nunn and Sons, Somerville, has been appointed manager at the Federal cash store in Mornington. *** THE anniversary social of the Tyabb Methodist Church is advertised to take place in the Tyabb Hall on Friday, February 13. A good programme has been arranged, and the Somerville choir will render the cantata “A Day With The Lord.” Owing to the length of the programme, patrons are requested to be punctual. *** THE death occurred at Frankston on Wednesday evening of Mrs Halford, mother of Mrs Bath, of Frankston.

The deceased lady has been ailing for some time, and her death was not unexpected. Our readers will join with us in extending heart-felt sympathy to Mrs Bath and other relatives of the

deceased in their time of bereavement. The funeral took place on Thursday, the remains being interred at St. Kilda.

The defendant said that he had forgotten that his ticket was out of date, and when called back by the station master, he had offered to pay excess.

*** AT the Mornington police court on Thursday, before Messrs Vivian Tanner, P.M., George Flood, A. E. Bates, J. D. Somers, and J. G. Barrett, J.’sP., Thos. Scott Berwick sued Harold Miller for 19s 9d, claim for meat sold and delivered. Order for amount with 2s 6d costs. Constable Banks v. John Howell, charged with driving a motor cycle in Main street, Mornington, on 26th January, at a speed dangerous to the public. The defendant, who did not appear, was fined 40s, in default distress, and ordered to

produce his licence for endorsement.

Helen McMahon v. Thos. O’Connell.

Defendant was charged with perjury committed at Mornington on 18th September, 1913, in connection with the sale of a pony. Major McInerney appeared for the prosecution, and Mr W. S. Cook for defendant. After a good deal of evidence on both sides, the Bench were unanimous in dismissing the case, no costs being allowed. *** THE bathing fatality which occurred at Sorrento on 17th January was investigated at the Morgue on Saturday by the City Coroner, Dr. R. H. Cole.

The facts have already been published. Charles Rutherford Browne, 39, single, manager of Mangaroon Station, Western Australia, dived into shallow water, and, striking his head heavily on the sandy bottom, was killed. Allan Phillip McLean, auctioneer, Claremont avenue, Malvern, said that he and Mr Browne went bathing in a private bath at Sorrento, and arranged a temporary springboard. In diving Browne appeared to over-jump the board, and he fell head foremost into about 4 feet of water. When he came to the surface he was dazed and breathing heavily. He died before medical aid was obtained. Constable R. Brennan said the insecure way in which the board was fixed contributed to the accident.

A verdict of accidental death was returned. *** DURING the week, three highly esteemed families of Mornington, who have recently disposed of their properties, have taken their

departure, and the best wishes of the community has been extended to them. Mr and Mrs A. McLellan intend residing in the Metropolis, and their property in Main street has been purchased by Mrs Williams. Mr G. T. Jenkins, who for many years has been in the employ of Mr R. Nunn as manager at the Federal cash store. and who recently purchased a business at Maffra, left for that town on Thursday. Mr Jenkins’ property was purchased by Mrs S. Bradford. Mr and Mrs Board have taken up their abode at Mentone, and their villa in Barkly street has been purchased for the Presbyterian manse. *** A DEPUTATION of dairy farmers on Wednesday requested the Railway Commissioners to permit milk from Carrum to be conveyed to the city by the 8.28 a.m. train, as was the custom some time ago. This train is the through train from Mornington, and owing to the department’s refusal to permit milk from Carrum to be carried by it, the deputation stated that it could not be despatched before 9.46 a.m., and thus arrived in the city during the hottest part of the day. As a result, losses were being sustained by the farmers, and the city venders were complaining of the bad condition of the milk. The Commissioners said they had refused to carry milk from Carrum by the 8.28 a.m. train in order to prevent delaying passengers, but nevertheless the milk was landed in the city by the 9.46 a.m. train as was milk from other districts.

Therefore there was not much cause for complaint. However, they would give the request consideration.

Artist’s impression of finished works

Works to re-build and upgrade the outer section of Mornington Pier started in late January.

The major upgrade will include: • Removal of the decommissioned 75 metre end of the pier and its replacement with a new 81 metre reinforced concrete platform and timber deck.

• New wave protection panels, below the deck level.

• New low landing to improve access to the water.

For public safety reasons part of the pier alongside the works area will be closed.

Parks Victoria apologises for any inconvenience caused by the reconstruction works.

CFA News Fire Restrictions are now in force CFA declares the Fire Danger Period at the onset of warmer weather when fires in the open air are legally restricted. This is to help prevent fires from starting as dry vegetation and hot weather increase the incidence of fires accidentally starting and spreading.

These restrictions are in place until 1 May unless revoked or varied. In State forests, National, State and Regional Parks and on protected public land, fire restrictions are in force all year round. Contact local DSE and Parks Victoria offices for advice on fire restrictions for these areas.

The penalties for lighting fires illegally during the Fire Danger Period and on Total Fire Ban Days include large fines and possible imprisonment.

During this period, permits are required for anyone to light a fire in the open. Permits can be downloaded directly from the CFA website or you can call your CFA Regional Office on 9767 1800.

Fire Danger Ratings The Fire Danger Rating predicts how a fire would behave if one started, including how difficult it would be to put out. The higher the rating, the more dangerous the conditions.

The rating is your trigger to act, so to stay safe you need to stay aware of the Fire Danger Rating in your district. During the fire season, the Fire Danger Rating will feature in weather forecasts and be broadcast on radio and TV and appear in some newspapers.

It can also be found on the CFA website or by calling the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667

Total Fire Bans Total Fire Bans are declared by CFA on days when fires are likely to spread rapidly and be difficult to control.

PAGE 40

Mornington News 4 February 2014

On a day of Total Fire Ban you can’t light any kind of fire outside, including campfires or bonfires. The same goes for your barbecue if it uses liquid fuel, or a solid fuel such as wood, charcoal or briquettes.

To find out exactly what you can and can’t do on a Total Fire Ban day, go to cfa.vic.gov.au or call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667.

Reporting Illegal Burn off During the declared Fire Danger Period Residents who suspect illegal burning off during the Declared Fire Danger Period should report it to the Police on 000. The CFA website cfa.vic.gov.au provides information on what people can and can’t do during the Declared Fire Danger Period and Days of Total Fire ban.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

True tales of a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tin eaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

By Stuart McCullough SECRETLY, I am ashamed. I watch others eat their meals with knives and forks, and feel something of a pang, wishing that I, too, could accept the conventional approach to eating a meal. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late for me. Years of training mean that I must take the road less travelled and consume my meals, not at the table with a fistful of cutlery, but in the pantry and directly from the jar. For I choose to consume my ingredients not in combination but one at a time. For I am a tin eater, plain and simple.

The life of a tin eater is one filled with subterfuge and stealth. Having two brothers and two sisters meant there was very little I could do that escaped detection. For some reason, siblings feel oddly compelled to announce everything you do at a volume somewhere just below â&#x20AC;&#x153;air raid sirenâ&#x20AC;? and a pitch slightly beneath dog whistle. You could be forgiven for thinking in such a harsh environment that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be unable to get away with anything, but that would be to underestimate the inexhaustible nature of human ingenuity.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be sitting together in the lounge room, all five us, watching a movie. Without so much as a word, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d attempt to slip out of my chair. I say â&#x20AC;&#x153;attemptâ&#x20AC;? as the seat in question was not the conventional four-legged variety but a beanbag. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a scientific fact that getting out of a beanbag is akin to attempting to break a bear hug executed by an actual bear. You can no more slip out of a beanbag

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

At first, my brothers and sisters would say nothing. I would then make my way to the kitchen and begin a process I like to think of as â&#x20AC;&#x153;visual grazingâ&#x20AC;?. This involved a full reconnaissance of the pantry.

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

I am sure that we possessed oil.

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

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

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

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

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

Using the kind of care normally associated with detonating an explosive, I would begin to prise open the pantry. No matter how careful I was, it would never fail to emit a tortured squeal. At the very first note, there would be a challenge from my brothers and sisters. The words â&#x20AC;&#x153;what are you doing?â&#x20AC;? rang out like a demand to stand and deliver. In truth, they knew full well what I was up to. The only thing more ridiculous than the question was my standard response of â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothingâ&#x20AC;? when, in fact, nothing couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be further from the truth.

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

black magic that is actual cooking, I preferred to jemmy the lid off various containers and eat directly from the tin. The trick was to complete stuffing my mouth before curiousity got the better of one of my brothers or sisters who, having failed to be satisfied by my earlier response of â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothingâ&#x20AC;?, would decide to come to the kitchen to personally investigate.

Milo was a particular favourite.

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

Truth be told, some of the finest meals I ever ate were consumed behind the pantry door. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve since given up. Whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because I grew out of it or because our current pantry doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a door, and is all the less thrilling as a result, I truly couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say.

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

Mounties winners after first day PROVINCIAL

By IT GULLY MT Eliza has already taken first innings points against Long Island in MPCA Provincial cricket.

In a must-win game for Mt Eliza to ensure it stays in touch with the top four, the bowlers stepped up and tore through the Long Island batting.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, only three Long Island batsmen made double figures in a team total of 78.

Aaron Paxton opened with a top score of 25, while Michael Chaplin contributed 15 and Peter Connell 14.

Justin Bridegman and Paul Hartle were both dismissed without contributing to the scorecard.

The day certainly belonged to the bowlers.

Robert Maskiell had his best return for the season with 4/20 for Mt Eliza, only the second time this season he has taken multiple wickets.

Sam Creffield was just as damaging with 3/36 from 13 overs while Lyle House finished things off with 2/12 from 4.5 overs.

In the chase, the home side got away to a shaky start, losing openers House and Ben Tracey early, but Tim Strickland and Chris Wisbey got things back on track and shared an 84run partnership.

Another mini collapse, though, saw the Mounties slump to 6/145 by the end of the day’s play.

It was still enough to give them the

points and it’s highly unlikely that there will be a reverse outright.

Crib Point escaped jail against Langwarrin, thanks largely to Adam Kuelen (37), Luke Chapple (58), Ricky Thompson (25) and Warren Herrington (31).

The Magpies were in all sorts of trouble early in their innings, reeling at 5/29 at one point.

Left-arm opening bowler Matt Davie got the Kangas away to a flier, taking the first five wickets of the match. At one stage he had figures of 5/17, and finished with 6/40.

Dwayne Doig bowled 28.4 overs and finished with 4/40.

Crib Point batted for 75 overs, which netted 194 runs. A great result for the Pies considering where they

were at one stage.

Crib Point then got the start it was looking for with the ball, snaring the wicket of David Ross. Langwarrin will resume next weekend at 1/7.

Mornington continues to rackup the runs, this time scoring 8/293 against Heatherhill. The Hills are no chance in this one.

Moorooduc already has victory against Rye. The Demons batted first and made just 100, Darren Groves top-scoring with 25.

Sushant Gupta picked up 4/23 for the Ducs and Bobby Wilson snared 3/35.

With the bat, the Ducs were in real trouble at 5/40 with Wilson back in the sheds, but Jarryd Bailey (49

not out) and Nick Williams (37 not out) resurrected the innings and took Moorooduc to 5/129 at stumps.

A massive 139 from Baxter skipper Daniel Warwick has his side in the box seat against top-of-the-table Sorrento.

Warwick almost played a lone hand in the innings, although Travis Sawers was back in the First XI after a long spell in the seconds and contributed 36.

Ryan O’Connor was the pick of the Sorras’ bowlers with 4/89, while Nick Davern claimed 3/73.

The match between Mt Martha and Peninsula Old Boys is sure to go down to the wire after the Reds scored 248 on Saturday.

Relief as Boneo reverse a losing trend DISTRICT

By IT GULLY BONEO said goodbye to its ordinary batting this season and racked up a massive 301 in 74.1 overs against Main Ridge on Saturday.

Knowing the visiting Boneo had been ordinary at best this season with the bat, Main Ridge did not hesitate to send them in after winning the toss.

Boneo skipper Leigh Lowry (18) has shouldered a lot of the scoring responsibility but on Saturday those around him dug deep.

Jack Fowler opened with 60, Ryan Jellie hit 42, Glen Peterson (69) made it two half centuries in three matches and Cameron Williams clubbed 41, which included four sixes.

Jordan McCully was the pick of the Ridge bowlers with 4/47.

With the ball, Boneo couldn’t have asked for a better start either, Jellie picking up opener Jacob McWilliams for a duck.

The home side will resume at 1/2.

The teenagers who Carrum rely so heavily on to take wickets were asked to resurrect a poor day with the bat against Flinders.

When teens Jackson Fry and Lachy Dobson were bought to the crease together on Saturday, the Lions were in all sorts of trouble at 9/78.

When Dobson lost his wicket for 76, the scorecard read all out for 184 off 79 overs.

While Dobson did the bulk of the scoring, Fry hung around and contributed 29.

Earlier, Matt Burns had torn through the Carrum batting line-up. He finished with 6/48 from 29 overs.

The Sharks ended up using eight bowlers in a bid to separate Dobson and Fry. Jon Guthrie hit an unbeaten 109 and Delacombe Park skipper Chris Brittain hit 100 against Baden Powell.

The Parkers finished the day at 6/313, far too many for the Braves to track down.

Anjula Perera was the best of the Braves bowlers with 4/67, while Nathan Rice claimed 2/68.

Seaford Tigers have already won their match against Ballam Park.

The Knights batted first and made 149, before the Tigers belted a quick-fire 5/191. Expect a massive attempt at an outright on day two.

Somerville will be looking for an outright win against Seaford.

The Eagles batted first on Saturday and compiled 6/311, Keith Burdett winding back the clock with an unbeaten 74, Andrew West scoring 60, Justin Allsop 54 and Ben Delaney 32.

Damien Lawrence was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 4/98.

After declaring its innings, Somerville ‘s bowlers snared 3/20, Allsop picking up 2/0.

Plenty of fight in Panthers’ bowlers SUB-DISTRICT

Big score: Pines batted well to putting up 234 for Hastings to chase. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By IT GULLY PEARCEDALE showed plenty of fight in its match against Balnarring.

In a must-win game for the Panthers, they performed terribly with the bat, bundled out for just 115.

Matt Cousland top-scored at the top of the innings for Pearcedale with 26, and skipper Kaine Smith (18) and Pat Gamble (19) did their best to take the score to three figures.

The Panthers then needed to produce something special with the ball if they were any chance of defending 115.

Shayne Gillings, Chris Dew and Kaine Smith all brought their best to the pitch, Gillings snaring 3/12 from 10 overs, Dew 2/28 from 10 overs (as well as a run-out) and Smith grabbing 1/11 off six.

Balnarring will resume this week in big trouble at 7/52.

Rosebud has placed itself in a wonderful position to upset the all-conquering Red Hill.

The Buds batted first and although they didn’t bat their overs, still scored 166.

Matty Maher top-scored for the Buds with 55 and Jason Nagel contributed a timely 32 batting at number 10.

Ross Corfield was the best of the Hillmen bowlers with 3/18 off 14 overs, and Nick Wood claimed 2/11.

The Buds bowlers then took the Hillmen apart, picking up 4/68 in 18 overs. Simon Dart (27) and Andrew Brown (23) are both back in the sheds, as are openers Riley Shaw and Ken Sullivan.

James Magee and Brian Doughty each took two wickets for Rosebud.

Frankston YCW is just 36 runs shy of victory against Dromana.

The Hoppers batted first and made just 131.

YCW will resume at 0/95.

Tootgarook scored a monstrous 407 against Skye.

Tyabb has set Carrum Downs 255 for victory.

The Yabbies batted for 75 overs while the Cougars used eight bowlers for the afternoon.

Josh Spittal was the best of them with 3/25 from 6.4 overs, while Chamara Perera claimed 2/45.

FRANKSTON Bombers has appointed last year’s Under-18 coach Ben Hall as its senior coach.

The appointment came after the resignation of Duncan Proud, who quit the job after just one season.

Proud said that he resigned for “personal reasons”.

He said leaving had nothing to do with the fact that between 15 and 20 players have left the club.

Nathan and Ryan Lonie, Shaun Wilkey, Shane Vandervalk, Haydn Moore, Brian O’Carroll, Luke Lewis and a host of under-18 players are among those to leave.

Proud said he would stay with the Bombers as a player in 2014.
