October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so now’s the time to find out as much as you can about breast awareness and share it with friends and family. Don a pink ribbon to show your support and to honour those who have survived the disease and those who weren’t so lucky. Whether you’re taking part in the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s pink ribbon breakfast to raise money, joining in with the McGrath Foundation in encouraging everyone to ‘pink up’ their towns in the quest to place more breast care nurses in communities, or just remembering someone you miss, October gives you the chance to look after your own breast health and encourage others to do the same. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women other than non-melanoma skin cancer. Breast Cancer Awareness Month puts women’s health at the forefront and encourages us to remember it’s not rocket science, girls! Checking for changes in your breasts regularly and being aware of any signs of unusual pain that doesn’t go away improves survival rates because early detection does matter. Log on to canceraustralia.gov.au, nbcf.org.au or pinkribbon.com.au to find out more and to ensure you’re putting your breast health first. Today and tomorrow.
Nursing in the ‘70s gone but not forgotten BY LIZ ROGERS
Tyabb resident Clare Donovan’s book was never meant to be a best-seller but it has achieved what she set out to do. It gives readers an insight into what nursing was like in the 1970s and beyond and will remain as a chronicle on nursing long after this holistic-first generation of care-givers has passed on. Gone Nursing is about a time when things were done differently. It is also about a time when patients stayed in hospital for up to two weeks instead of two days, and each nurse looked after their patient one to one. Times have changed and so has the way in which care is delivered in hospital, which makes this read a ripper. Clare explains. “We were hospitaltrained, not university-trained. I did my HSC at Frankston High in 1970 and was going to be a teacher. ( 4 Frankly Frankston
Everybody in my family were teachers, but I didn’t want to go to university and my parents didn’t have the funds to keep me there anyway. A friend had ‘gone nursing’ and the stories she told made it sound interesting, plus it was a paid position, which I thought was fabulous! I went to live in the nurses’ quarters near Prince Henry’s Hospital in the city after growing up in Mount Eliza, then went on to Williamstown Hospital to finish my training. It was the ideal way to get out of home, and the work was challenging too. I still catch up frequently with those nurses. We have a very strong bond.” She continues. “It took me a couple of years to finally put pen to paper because I wanted to cover other nurses’ experiences as well as my own. I had been working in the pharmaceutical industry after leaving nursing and was working full-time. I didn’t really have the space to write it until I retired, and it has been very rewarding because the response from other nurses has been huge. I’ve also had nurses of this generation tell me
how interesting it is to see how it used to be done.” Clare printed 250 copies of her self-published tome this year and has only a few copies left and will need a reprint. Dedicated to “nurses everywhere” for their “dedication and compassion”, Gone Nursing takes you through the ward rounds, exam time, nurses’ home, children’s ward, night duty, death and dying, and emergency codes for starters. But that’s only a snapshot. “It was only when I had a friend as a patient that the penny dropped. I realised that everybody belongs to someone and you never deal with a person in isolation. Nursing is about getting the whole picture and connecting. We never had any formal debriefing when something challenging happened. We relied on each other and that built real comradeship. I still have many of those friendships today.”
prescribe medicine, but Gone Nursing brings a refreshing understanding of what it was like to work alongside other student nurses who always had your back. It also highlights the importance of human connection. If you’d like to read more, email gone. nursing@bigpond.com to order a copy.

with Vikki Petraitis BY YAZMINE LOMAX
Former Seaford resident Vikki Petraitis is the author of over a dozen true-crime stories, including The Frankston Murders. More than two decades after the release of her debut novel, she’s still as passionate as ever about tales of justice and human perseverance. Where did your interest in crime writing begin? It came from being in Year 7 and finding Agatha Christie’s Sparkling Cyanide, plucking that off the shelf and then reading every single Agatha Christie book. When I was 18 or 19 I bought a book called Inside The Mind Of A Murderess, about Myra Hindley, and once you read true crime the ‘body in the library with the 12 suspects’ just doesn’t cut it. The heart of it is that it’s about real people. August was the 25th anniversary of the Frankston Murders. How do you feel this event still affects the community today? When I did the talk for the 20th anniversary, I had an hour-long book signing line where everyone who came forward had a story and a connection to it. About 150 people showed up to the memorial this year and all of them had a story. Everyone was so moved to see Baby Jake there — he was 12 days old when his mother was murdered — and everyone just hugged him. When you take three women out of a close-knit community, years and years later so many people are still going to feel that connection. Why do you love this area and how does it inspire your work? I lived in Seaford when the Frankston Murders happened and there’s a connection that will never be broken. If anything shows the strength of this community it’s the way they’ve embraced Baby Jake and turned up to give Brian and Carmel Russel a hug. As a writer, that’s what you want to connect with.

Lisa Fisher receives her Certificate of Appreciation from Cr Sandra Mayer and Mayor Colin Hampton.
Photo Steve Brown
Lisa shows Frankston in a positive light If positivity was a person, it would be Lisa Fisher. Frankly Frankston has previously praised her selfless efforts as the founder of the Positively Frankston Facebook group and now her tireless work has been officially recognised. Lisa was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by Frankston Mayor Colin Hampton for all her hard work and the countless hours that she dedicates to creating a better Frankston via her Positively Frankston brand. When Lisa started the Facebook group she had no expectation of how the public would receive it. Now she’s also established a linked Facebook page and website which also showcase everything positive about Frankston. www.franklyfrankston.com.au
BY KATE SEARS “I first heard about the Certificate of Appreciation from Cr Sandra Mayer, who told me she had nominated me,” said Lisa. “I was really surprised and of course very excited. It was quite unexpected and it is great recognition for our group.” In the group you can expect to discover local unknown treasures to visit, hidden walking trails that may have been forgotten, tips on how to thoroughly explore our town, information on events happening, or simply photographs that have been shared of spectacular sunsets by members at Frankston pier. It’s a page that helps to remind people of everything that can be found in Frankston — potential friends included, as Lisa has organised six successful meet-ups and the first Ladies’ Night and Children’s Catch Up events. Lisa is continually praised for creating a group that had Frankston’s best interests at heart and for providing a safe place for people to converse, make connections and get to know each other, both online and out in the community. Her role as administrator requires plenty of hours to maintain the smooth running of her social media accounts
to make sure that the content remains positive and relevant to Frankston. Updating the website, being out in the community, meeting people and discovering new places to tell her members about has become a passion. “I guess it was about testing the water to see how many like-minded people there were in our community, and it has come at a time when there is so much great development and investment happening in our town. People are wanting to feel proud about where we live and certainly a fresh approach on social media was needed.” Come November, Positively Frankston is hosting Mission 100 in collaboration with 3199 Beach Patrol because Lisa’s group thrives on working with other community groups to raise awareness and support each other. “What started simply as a Facebook group has now become a popular campaign.” To be part of the Positively Frankston movement and gain a sense of belonging, join the Facebook group, like the Facebook page and visit positivelyfrankston.com.au OCTOBER 2018

with Irene Crusca BY YAZMINE LOMAX
While Hampton East artist Irene Crusca specialises in painting portraits of others, the woman behind the easel is just as fascinating as her subjects.
Where did your love for creating art begin? It began as a child when I attempted to draw for the first time and my creative parents both encouraged me to do so. My main love quickly became depicting people and I somehow seemed to capture people’s character or spirit. Where do you draw inspiration from? My strongest influences are drawn from my Sicilian

background, especially my parents, their love of music, and their garden. The villages in Syracuse are rich with community and culture and helped me to fully comprehend the displacement of my migrant parents. This greatly influences my compositions as I incorporate the idea of a fractured identity in my works. I have also been influenced by artists such as Francisco Goya, Rembrandt van Rijn, Giorgio Morandi, Lucien Freud, Clarice Beckett, and Nusra Latif Qureshi — their honest, sad, and sometimes extremely dark portrayals of the human condition have given me permission to express myself in similar ways. What does the day-to-day life of an artist look like? Initially, my routine was based on a 9-to-5 model, but I realised that although you can paint all day, there are only a few hours when the best outcomes are realised. I may have only three or four quality painting hours in the day, usually in the morning when I’m recharged and have clarity and maximum energy. Why do you love where you live and how does it inspire your work? I’m very privileged to enjoy stability and peace in Australia, which enables inspiration, but my inspiration also derives from an inner place. My sense of place is one which includes my Italian background and so both my physical location and bicultural identity inspire me.

Snapper and summer keep flotilla busy Patterson River is a mecca for snapper fishing and is home to one of the state’s busiest flotillas, Coast Guard Carrum, which performs more than 100 rescues annually. With many keen anglers heading to Carrum this month for the snapper season, this marks the beginning of the flotilla’s busiest period, with threequarters of its rescues carried out between now and the end of summer. Deputy flotilla commander Deanne Semmens advises boaties to make sure their vessels are serviced, the fuel they’re using is fresh and that they’ve checked their batteries. “Always check the weather, wear a life jacket and make sure that the bungs are in,” Deanne says. “We’ve seen boats taking on water, becoming serious incidents.” If you’re able-bodied and over 18, you can join the crew and learn radio operations, first aid, and search and rescue operations, all while taking in the sights of Port Phillip Bay from the flotilla’s $400,000 Stabicraft cruiser. “It’s like driving a Lamborghini on the water among lots of action,” says deputy squadron commodore Matt Semmens. “We have made life-long friends, and qualifications received are nationally recognised.” From wild rescues retrieving patients from the water to attending to stranded boats, the crew certainly at times experiences an adrenaline rush. Camaraderie is a core value, highlighted in the group’s popular Patterson River fun run, helping to support its running costs. Operating for more than 50 years, the flotilla welcomes new members who can participate in training later this year.

Project’s on hand when you’re ready for change It’s never easy to make significant change, and even harder without guidance and encouragement. Whether it is changing unhealthy habits or becoming more mindful, it takes time, commitment and, most importantly, support. This is why the Women’s Spirit Project has been developed — to support women from the Frankston area who are doing it tough and are ready for change. The program is free for all participants. And support begins with the very first step — filling out the application form.
The Mornington Yacht Club was buzzing with girl power on Saturday, September 15, at the launch the Women’s Spirit Project. Photos by Liz Rogers.
“We get it,” said Project founder Jodie Belyea. “Filling in forms can be daunting, but we don’t want this to stop women from applying, so we are here to help. Just ask!” Successful applicants will participate in weekly exercise sessions and workshops covering a wide range of topics, including communication skills, goal-setting and mental health. They will finish the 16-week program with a four-day trek through the Mornington Peninsula. Each participant will have a ‘buddy’ who will be there for extra support during the course and on the trek. “The activities and support are intended to encourage women to move safely out of their comfort zone and to find the confidence and courage they need to write a new chapter in their life,” Jodie said. “Many of us involved in this project have experienced challenges too, so we understand how hard it can be to make changes. We are now in a position where we can use our experience and our learning to help others.” For more information or to apply for the program, visit womensspiritproject.com.au or email womensspiritproject@ ourspirit.com.au.

Birth Tree project continues to grow Every year, Rotary Peninsula 2.0 plants a tree to commemorate the births of children in our community. The Birth Tree project in Montague Park, Kars St, is now in its fourth year and all money received from registrations this year will go to the Frankston Hospital Special Care Nursery. Children’s names are placed on a plaque at the base of the tree of the year of their birth, ready for the annual unveiling ceremony, which next year takes place on Sunday, March 17. During a full day of family fun, children will be given a certificate and their own tree to take home and plant. Rotary Peninsula 2.0 saw a need also for families that
may have missed out registering in previous years for the Birth Tree and has worked with Frankston City councillor Steve Toms to establish the Birth Tree Family Garden. This garden it is creating next to the Birth Trees will enable families to register all members of their families and their names will be placed on a plaque with the year of their birth. Â Registrations for the 2018 Birth Tree and The Family Garden are $50 each with a reduction of $5 each for any additional family members registered for the Family Garden plaque. All registrations close on January 31 next year. For more information or to register, visit rotarypeninsula.org/birth-tree Fraser points out his name on the 2015 Birth Tree plaque.

Bodgy Creek scores a win in Rosebud September 17 saw Rosebud Cinemas swing open its doors to three cast members of the ‘feel good think more’ movie The Merger, and people were excited. Lovers of authentic Aussie stories dropped by to say hi and support Australian movie-making at its best with the down-to-earth flick that brings love, grief, assimilation and small-town politics to the big screen. Punters didn’t want to miss the chance to quiz the movie’s writer and actor Damian Callinan, who plays Troy Carrington, and his co-actors Michelle Brasier (Gretchen) and Sahil Saluja (Suresh). Here’s some of what they asked. Where does the story come from and is there a book? Damian: There’s everything except a book! I’ve been doing The Merger as a one-man show playing all the characters for years after being commissioned to write a show that subtly tackled the issues of racism in regional communities by Arts Victoria and VicHealth in 2009. I also do the Bodgy
Creek Football Club podcast.
Aussie story.
Do you have a football background? Damian: Just a bit. I played footy until I was about 30 in country Queensland. We used to travel 350km for a game. I’ve also played in Japan on a five-storey building where the footy kept going over the edge because the barrier wasn’t high enough.
Sahil: I had gone back to India to try to do some Bollywood after feeling like nothing was happening for me. It was great to be part of this when I returned to Australia.
Is the movie going to be released overseas? Damian: Well, not sure. It’s tricky when you’re competing with big-budget movies that get released everywhere. We are what’s called a lowbudget film with limited release. It’s a wait-and-see thing. Is social media used much to promote movies? Damian, Michelle: Sure is. Some movies have millions of dollars to spend on social media campaigns. We had $100,000. You can see the difference. What was it like working on the film? Michelle: It was life-changing, and everyone was so easy to get along with. It’s such an important
It’s a fantastic movie. It reminds me of The Castle. Michelle: Well, people really relate and connect to great storytelling. Damian: It’s set in an Aussie town where people live everyday lives with family and friends, and it’s a comedy even though there are some very heartfelt moments too. Lots of people have told me they’ve laughed and cried — like when Sayyid (Fayssal Bazzi) is waiting at the bus stop for his wife and child to arrive after not seeing them for years. Composer David Bridie worked with Kurdish asylum seeker and musician Farhad Bandesh, who’s been detained on Manus Island, to compose music for this moment. That’s special. Get along to see The Merger at Sorrento and Rosebud Cinemas before it’s too late. Film-lovers were seeing stars when Rosebud Cinemas screened the Australian film The Merger on Monday, September 17. On hand to answer questions from the audience were the film’s writer Damian Callinan, who plays Troy Carrington, and his coactors Michelle Brasier (Gretchen) and Sahil Saluja (Suresh).

Life has a habit of sneaking up on us — or rather, sneaking away from us — while we’re busy earning money, paying bills, doing the shopping, the washing, the cooking. That ticking you’re hearing isn’t just the kitchen clock! For the ladies in Frankston Theatre Group’s next production Exit Laughing, the highlight of their week — indeed, their lives — is the weekly card night, and when Mary, one of this close-knit group, dies, what can they do? They decide to have one last game at their traditional venue — Connie’s house. Then Millie — sweet, but not terribly worldly — steals their friend’s ashes from the funeral home to join this last game and things get complicated. Add to this mix Connie’s university-age daughter who’s been stood up on a first date and a policeman with a secret, and you have a recipe for a great night full of laughs and one or two tender tears.
www.franklyfrankston.com.au
Directed by FTG life member Keith Gledhill and featuring Kerry Hollier, Sophie Daddo-Langlois, Heather JeanKing, Grace Painter, and Jack Ellis-Barr, Exit Laughing is a great night out for your Christmas break-up.
This is FTG’s final production for 2018 and will be held at the Mount Eliza Community Centre in cabaret style. So grab your friends, a bottle or two and some tasty nibbles and book yourself a table.

Forty years ago, the organisers of the first Mount Eliza Art & Design Show could scarcely have imagined what a massive success the annual show would become.

Artists, designers, sculptors and jewellers from around the Peninsula and beyond will have their stunning works on display and for sale. The feature exhibitors for this year’s show
are artist Billy Nye, photographer Nick Psomiadis, jeweller Pam Mujica (PAMDesigned) and pottery artist Manuela Ferstl. The Grand Opening Gala Night on Friday, October 26, from 7.30-10pm offers art-lovers the opportunity to experience the exhibition with live music, wine from Foxeys Hangout, beers from Jetty Road Brewery, delicacies from the Edible Art Co and the live auction.

provide funds to continue the trauma phone support services and enable Blue Knot Foundation to continue its well-respected advocacy work in the area of childhood trauma. Agency83 director Rhiannon Pilton said: “Providing awareness for this critical access point to survivors and not-for-profit agencies is one of the most rewarding projects I work on. Knowing the money raised will be used to increase the accessibility of recovery programs and advocacy for survivors is a small step in support that I can offer Blue Knot Foundation. While the event and day itself presents challenges to those survivors and their support networks, the luncheon will focus on a positive message of recovery and strength.� To support Agency83 and its initiative, please visit agency83. com.au

‘Cultural Diversity’ is the theme of this year’s annual Langwarrin Primary School Art Show. Students explored the premise that art is universal and has been a way to communicate beliefs and express ideas throughout the ages. Their artwork will be showcased celebrating past and existing cultures. Photo by Jamica Photography.
The show will be held at the school, 90 Warrandyte Rd, Langwarrin, on Sunday,
October 21, from 10am-2pm, and everyone is invited to come along, celebrate cultural diversity and enjoy the exhibition as much as the students have enjoyed putting it together. The school gratefully acknowledges the show’s sponsors, whose interest and support reflects the strong community links that the school is extremely proud of.
Third year for popular Mount Eliza Festival Be sure to mark Sunday, March 17, on your calendars for the 2019 MY Mount Eliza Run & Fun Festival. Festival director Geoff Nyssen and his volunteer committee are proud to host the annual event for the third time to celebrate the importance of health and wellness, while raising awareness of the blood cancer multiple myeloma.
“More than 1000 people came to the festival last year, with over 600 people taking part in the 5km and 10km trail run/walk,” Geoff said. “It was a fantastic event that thrives on community spirit and raises much-needed funds for Myeloma Australia.” The festival has generated more than $30,000 annually for Myeloma Australia, ensuring the annual employment of a part-time nurse to provide direct information and support services to myeloma patients, carers and their families. “We continue to be so well supported by our generous sponsors and local community,” Geoff said. “In 2019 we will also work with expert trail run/walk organisers to ensure both the professional and amateur competitors have a great experience on the day. We are also planning a host of entertainment, family-fun activities and delicious food and beverages.” If you wish to support the 2019 MY Mount Eliza Run & Fun Festival, please contact Geoff for a sponsorship prospectus at geoffnyssen@ mymounteliza.org.au or on 0423 838 374.

Ask the Experts Bokany Hair
DR BRADLEY HULL
Cody Bokany not only wants her clients to look fantastic, she wants them to feel fantastic too. That’s why, with her Bokany Hair salon, Cody places as much emphasis on what goes into the products she uses as she does on what effect they have on her clients’ hair.
Youthful You is dedicated to providing affordable cosmetic injectable treatments of the highest quality. Dr Bradley Hull and his team bring clinical knowledge, skills and experience in medical cosmetic treatments to enhance and maintain your natural and youthful appearance in a professional and ethical environment where you are always the highest priority.
Bokany Hair is a vegan salon and the hair care products Cody uses are made in Melbourne by Mr Smith. That’s a win-win for Cody — she is committed to supporting local manufacturers, and Mr Smith products are sulfate and parabenfree and are also approved by PETA. Cody also uses ZenzTherapy Alternative Color products, which are also vegan, include natural ingredients and contain neither ammonia nor PPD. Cody offers and recommends OLAPLEX with colour services or as a stand-alone rebonding treatment. While blondes are what she does the most and what she is more known for, Cody loves to use alternative colours and has plans to do more.
Dr Hull is an experienced GP who trained in the UK and has a passion for cosmetic medicine. His unique approach to anti-ageing means he prides himself in giving his clients a natural, fresh and youthful appearance. Safety is of course of the utmost importance and his excellent team ensures every procedure runs smoothly so that you make a quick recovery and start enjoying the new natural you.
“My focus is about maintaining the health of my clients’ hair while reaching their goals,” she says. If having beautiful healthy hair without all the environmental nasties is as important to you as it is to Cody, you know who to call.
Dr Hull’s ethos to skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing is that of subtlety with a philosophy of conservatism and ‘less is more’. The common practice of applying youthful facial features such as flattened, expressionless foreheads and large full lips to a mature face sometimes results in an unbalanced appearance. Therefore Dr Hull prides himself in adopting a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation, which restores a natural radiance and healthiness to the skin. With well-judged targeted use of cosmetic injectables, he rebalances the face, enabling you to achieve a ‘natural’ rejuvenation and a desirable outcome.

HAIR and beauty feature ROYALTY SOCIETY
Tiarna Robertson Makeup
Feel like royalty this summer with a golden, natural-looking tan from Royalty Society. Australian-made and owned, Royalty Society’s professional and DIY tanning products are made in a PETA-approved facility and are 100 per cent vegan, cruelty-free, contain no alcohol, paraben or PPD, and are suitable for sensitive or dry skin.
Tiarna Robertson’s passion for beauty started at a young age and she has now carved herself a successful career as a full-time make-up artist. Born in Queensland, Tiarna has worked around Australia and spent time overseas honing her craft. She now calls Seaford home and regularly travels around Victoria for her bookings.
Royalty Society also offers in-home luxury tanning appointments. With more than 10 years’ experience in the tanning industry, company director Jaide Hopwood guarantees a comfortable and professional experience with online booking and secure payment options available.
With more than 13 years in the industry, Tiarna has a well-rounded skill set, from make-up director for the Sydney Fashion Festival to bridal parties, education and empowering everyday women with make-up.
For exceptional natural results, Jaide recommends getting your tan one or two days before your event. Also, when you take your first shower after treatment, rubbing your skin gently to remove bronzers will prevent any lines or streaking. Finally, use pH-balanced or natural shower gels and moisturisers instead of acidic or fruit-based products, which can affect the longevity and appearance of your tan.

This is a question that the podiatrists at Southern Cross Podiatry often get asked. Your feet are incredibly complex structures, with many possible injuries, illnesses and complications that can arise. Luckily, there are some simple actions you can do at home to look after your feet. Here are a few of the most important self-care activities:
Look at your feet every day, including the bottom, top, sides, and in between each toe. This daily check can detect things like calluses, corns, cuts and ulcerations, along with new skin spots. Early detection is key when treating medical conditions. Apply moisturiser every day to your feet. Southern Cross Podiatry recommends avoiding in between your toes, though. Our skin is made of an elastic material and keeping the skin hydrated allows it to stretch rather than crack and spilt. Daily moisturiser is especially key coming up to the summer months. Wear shoes appropriate to the activity you are doing. For example, avoid wearing high-heel shoes if going on a shopping spree. A walking shoe or runner is more appropriate for this activity. If you have concerns about your feet, speak to your podiatrist. All the podiatrists at Southern Cross Podiatry have a wealth of knowledge regarding foot care, so they welcome all questions, no matter how simple they may seem. Sometimes that little bit of extra knowledge can make all the difference to your foot health.

By wearing high heels we are raising the hindfoot to create unwanted force through our anatomically smaller metatarsal bones. Once the tissue can no longer tolerate the excessive forefoot loading, injury will likely ensue. This is why forefoot pathologies such as corns, neuromas and stress fractures are common in high heel wearers, especially around Spring Racing Carnival time. In heels, the ankle is placed in an unstable position. The base of the high heel is often narrowed and is the reason for many sprained ankles. High heels exaggerate the pelvis position, which not only over-activates your back

The awards celebrate and recognise the valuable contributions that volunteers make in the community, often giving so much of their own time and resources. “Many outstanding nominations were received, making it a close decision,” an Impact Volunteering spokesman said. “We would like to thank all candidates who were nominated and for their great work in the community — you are all stars!” For more information about the benefits of volunteering in the community, email Impact Volunteering at info@ impactvolunteering.org.au or phone 9770 6492.

Graham’s a gem when it comes to fire safety Gem Fire Service managing director Graham Millard is passionate about fire protection. However, his career in the industry started by accident. Forty-eight years ago in Adelaide, his landlady set up an interview with a fire sprinkler company that was after young guys with an aptitude for mechanics to become trained as sprinkler fitters. To be polite and not embarrass her, Graham went along despite already working for a Holden dealer. Once the interviewer mentioned the pay, however, he was converted. Graham set about learning as much as he could about the fire prevention industry, gaining 15 years of valuable www.franklyfrankston.com.au
experience in sprinkler systems, deluge systems, hydrant hose reels, CO2 systems and fire safety at power stations and industrial plants all over Australia. After this came a desire to provide a higher level of service, and in 1985 Gem Fire Service was born. Graham holds five qualifications and has employed and trained nearly 100 apprentices. A six-week stint at Wormald in 1974 gave Graham a taste of Melbourne and he’s been here ever since, loving life on the Peninsula with his wife, three children, eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

BY KATE SEARS A hearse sits in the frontyard and it’s drawn by a horse that’s just a skeleton. If you’re brave enough to continue towards the house, an eerie butler will greet you at the front door. You’ll find a headless Victorian lady and her friend who follows you around while staring you down with her piercing red eyes. Follow the hallway to the end to discover a Bates Motel-style set-up complete with sign and deceased mother in the rocking chair. Or stop by the creepy clown or horrific zombie room before you get the absolute jitters in her backyard cemetery. Sk8house co-owner Vanessa Hammond transforms her whole home into a spooky house in preparation for her favourite day, October 31. More than two weeks of hard work among spider webs and skeletons is what it takes for the house to return from the dead and be ready to come alive at night in the lead-up to Halloween. Vanessa is not alone in her love of the scary season, with her daughter Brittany, mum Lorraine and her mum’s partner Dennis (or Jack the Ripper on stage) assisting in the festivities. These family members are www.franklyfrankston.com.au
talented creatures who have a knack for creativity and bringing Vanessa’s crazy nightmares to life. “I show them my ideas and they create it,” said Vanessa. “Mum and her partner make the props, including hand-painting polystyrene to look like stone that we’ve then put on the walls. She’s helped with my clown room and hand-painted a clown’s face on to wood which is now the entrance to the room — you walk right through the mouth. It’s also decorated in fluorescent paint so everything glows with the UV lights.” You can expect to see a 2m pumpkin man, gargoyles guarding the driveway, coffins that open by themselves, a creepy dungeon, zombies that reach out at you, hanging skeletons that move, and of course lots of gore. It’s become an addiction that Vanessa looks forward to every year as she sources paraphernalia from overseas and online throughout the lead-up to make each year bigger than the last. With storage becoming a terrifying challenge, she’s moved some props to a storage facility and — fittingly — to her mother’s attic. Could you just imagine stumbling unsuspectingly into that room?
“Halloween is becoming popular in Australia. It is all about dressing up. It’s a chance to pretend to be someone else or something else. It’s a chance to do a different activity.” Vanessa’s even had Channel 9 News host its weather segment with presenter David Brown inside her haunted house. Now that’s different! Her kids look forward to it each year and plan their costumes well in advance as they follow in her eerie footsteps. For 15 years this tradition has attracted quite a following, with neighbourhood kids of all ages coming to have a look — supervised by an adult and invite-only — and to try their luck at trick or treating.

Frightfully good fun at Sk8house When ghouls and goblins come out to play, Sk8house puts on its biggest event of the year. Halloween festivities will be in full swing on Saturday, October 27, from 6-9pm. It’s a family affair, with everyone invited to dress up and compete in the Best Dressed Awards for the chance to win a Sk8house voucher and bragging rights. Wee trolls and cheeky fairies can try their hand at trick or treating if they’re brave enough to approach the Sk8house staff, who will be in full bloodcurdling costume handing out tiny treats, freebies and of course lollies to get everyone in the Halloween spirit. Scary sights will be set up around the rink as the decorations go to the next level for the most attended event on the Sk8house calendar. Cobwebs will adorn the walls as skeletons hang around for a scare. It’s time to dance around in your skates (or standard shoes) to a spooky playlist complete with the Ghostbusters theme and such graveyard smashes as the Monster Mash. If this doesn’t give you the creeps, how could we forget to mention that fake blood and gore will be around every corner. And don’t
www.franklyfrankston.com.au
forget to grab a photo in front of the elaborate props to complement your costumes and create lasting memories in case you don’t survive the night of frights. “There will be more decorations than ever before,” said co-owner Bernadine. “It’s going to be a great night of fun for all ages, from tots to grandparents.” Halloween-inspired non-alcoholic drinks will keep you hydrated between spooky games, while you feed your inner zombie with green ghoul soup and other fright bites. With three years of Halloween party experience behind them, this team is set to scare your socks off. “A lot of people say they don’t celebrate Halloween, but it’s not just about that. It’s a chance to dress up and pretend to be someone or something else for a night,” said Bernadine. “Regardless of your age, who doesn’t love dressing up?” Entry is $12 and it’s an additional $3 for skate hire. Now be warned, it’s best to be stealthy and get in early because bookings aren’t accepted. SK8HOUSE A: Unit 3/2 Amayla Cres, Carrum Downs T: 9773 6799 W: sk8house.com.au FB: sk8houseau OCTOBER 2018

Dainton’s world record worth drinking to BY KATE SEARS
Let’s raise a glass to our own Dainton Brewery and the crew of Tap’d Bar at the Prince Alfred Hotel in Booval, Queensland. Together they have set a Guinness World Record for the most individual beers on tap poured in one venue by one brewery. “We’re feeling pretty good,” said the Carrum Downs brewery’s founder, Dan Dainton. “We Googled the record and we discovered it was 130, so we thought we’d beat it.” There were a few beer-lovers who eagerly attempted to try every one of the 131 flavours on tap, including Wagon Wheel, Pina Colada and the Champagne Ale, which will receive a longer run thanks to their popularity.

With 108 hard-plumbed taps at the venue, mini portable jockey boxes were acquired from breweries and home set-ups. Forty-one beers were brewed in Dainton’s larger system, leaving the remaining 90 to be brewed in single kegs. Dainton Brewery was truly humbled by the remarkable turnout of 1500 beerlovers for the attempt, and Dan paid special thanks to the Prince Alfred for its support and handling the piles of paperwork required to have the world record registered. In typical Dainton Brewery style, Dan and the brew crew donated a percentage of their profits to the charity Soldier On. “It’s not something I’d do again,” Dan said. “However, we love crazy antics and we’re brainstorming something new and exciting for next year.” DAINTON BREWERY A: 560 Frankston-Dandenong Rd, Carrum Downs W: daintonbrewing.com.au

Australian produce when available. How long have you been cooking and how did your career begin? I’ve been cooking professionally now for almost eight years. I started my career when I was 19 back in the UK. I did my apprenticeship in a four-star hotel and country club in the Cheshire countryside. It was a good place to start because I got to experience lots of aspects of the cooking industry. Are you always cooking? What about at home after a hard day’s work? A large part of my life is spent cooking, and yes, I do cook a lot at home as well. But when I’m not working I spend time with my two amazing kids and my beautiful fiancé. Other passions of mine include football (soccer), going to the gym and foraging for wild herbs and mushrooms during the season. I also love to eat out at other restaurants and love a wine or beer. How is the menu at Barmah Park changing to welcome in the warmer weather? The spring menu is focused on the amazing produce starting to come into season on the Peninsula; lots of spring herbs and flowers. There will be more light and fresh seafood
dishes too. A few cold dishes and more fresh fruits will make an appearance on the dessert menu — think slow-poached quince, Peninsula honey cake and mascarpone. Where does your produce come from? I always try my best to work with local suppliers and growers. I like to support local businesses, and I find that it really pays off if you have good relationships direct with the actual producers. Does your menu cater for all tastes? Our menu is designed to give a good amount of choice to satisfy people’s varying tastes, whether you are a meat-eater, like a good fish dish, or are vegetarian. We also always try our best to accommodate specific dietary needs by modifying dishes where necessary. What do you enjoy most about the Peninsula? As a young chef living and working on the Mornington Peninsula I feel extremely lucky to be surrounded by some of the world’s best fresh produce. There is literally inspiration everywhere you look. I’m living the dream.

Frank Walker’s voice on the radio is distinctive, angular and alive with a ‘wake up and take notice’ tone. In real time, it’s quiet and reflective with a tinge of selfdeprecating humour and an undeniable grit that has guaranteed his family’s financial and serendipitous success. We meet in Mount Martha, where the National Tiles founder and his “glue of the family” wife Rhonda are renovating their gloriously positioned house. All of their six adult daughters plus their kids (12 in total) have houses in the area. Kate (KWD) and Amy (another

bespoke interior designer) live there permanently. “You could throw a stone on the rooves of each other’s houses, I reckon. We all descend on Mount Martha for the holidays. We’ve been coming here for the past 15 years, had weddings in the garden, big dinners around the table. We think of Mount Martha as our spiritual home in every sense. I still catch my breath when I come down Coolangatta Rd and see the bay. Over the last six years since our only son (Nick) has taken over as CEO of National Tiles, Rhonda and I have had the freedom to move around. We originally had a house on the Bellarine Peninsula, then my sister bought in Mount Martha and that started the family’s migration.” For anyone who lives in Mount Martha, there’s nothing quite like South Beach and the connection the village across the road from it brings.

continued “It’s a delight to walk down to the shops and chat with the traders. We’re a tight family. We like being together and this is the perfect place to do it.” But things haven’t always been ideal for this family man who started out in his grandfather’s plaster and ceramic tiles business. “I was the black sheep of the family and went out on my own at 25. It was hard. We had three little kids and Rhonda was about eight months pregnant. We were living in the flat above the shop in Pakington St, Geelong West, which the landlord had given to us for free. We are both born-andbred Geelong people. Rhonda would bring the kids down the stairs, load up the Ford Cortina with tiles and do deliveries. I threw away a

$25,000-a-year job in the family business to go it alone. I’d been washing trucks for five bucks each since I was 11 years old. I’ve always been entrepreneurial. I’m no oil painting, Liz. It’s a bloody miracle she’s stayed with me; she’s an absolute bottler.” Frank says luck, persistence and judgement all play a part in success. He used to get up at 4am just to get ahead of the game because he’s a “slow thinker”. He’s currently working with the Family Peace Foundation he and Rhonda founded in 2015, which deals with the impact of family violence. “We aim to make real social change in this area, and will. It’s time to put back into the community.” And feed the spirit Mount Martha-style.

It’s here! Makin Mattresses in Sandringham is open for business and the word on the street is that people are excited. Makin Mattresses is Australia’s largest independent mattress manufacturer and has been creating comfy-plus mattresses for more than 40 years. Now seaside folks have a fresh premium bedding option when searching for their slice of sleep tight heaven. Makin Mattresses sells direct to the public and allows clients to try before they buy. It is also the only bedding manufacturer in Australia to have a micro coil machine in its North Brisbane factory. This innovative technology maximises air flow to reduce heat and increase hygiene (sweat can cause foam to degrade and flatten over time) and all mattresses are double sided and designed to be flipped and rotated, ensuring an even sleep surface which in turn doubles the life of the mattress. Makin Mattresses has nine stores Australia-wide and six manufacturing sites. With a wide range of mattresses to suit every need — including the premium two-piece Bellissimo range, which provides a seven-zone support system that cradles the parts of your body that need it most — you’ll be snuggling up in comfort for years to come.

There are two ways to make a mattress
1. Cheap
2. Superior
one piece
— inherently defective — no airflow
✓ two piece
— can be flipped, turned & rotated — maximum air circulation & breathability
single sided
— half the support — half the comfort — half the life
✓ double sided
— twice the support — twice the comfort — twice the life
attached foam pillow top
— hot & sweaty — flattens & collapses
✓ removable pillow top ✓ 5 year comfort promise
Yes Mr Harvey. They should be 50% off!
