Mikaela-Rose takes the Miss Intercontinental Australia crown BY LIZ ROGERS

My, my, Mikaela-Rose Fowler is beautiful. But she’s got the smarts too! She’s just been crowned Miss Intercontinental Australia 2018, which means she’ll be on her way to the Philippines in January for about three weeks to compete in the Miss Intercontinental Pageant — and the stakes are high. The pageant is in its 47th year and delivers international kudos and great prizemoney to boot. Next year is going to be big for this Mornington Peninsula woman who has been in the world of pageantry for five years. At only 23, she’s been the recipient of two titles so far, and this most recent one gives her a real push into the international beauty pageant limelight. She explains. “I can’t

believe I’ve won the Miss Intercontinental Australia 2018 crown. You’ve got to work really hard in these pageants. I work six days a week in real estate, then there’s going to the gym twice a day, eating the right food, looking after skin and hair, endorsing sponsors’ products, the charity work and making sure you behave in a way that represents courage, intelligence and ethics. There’s a lot to remember.” Mikaela-Rose has grunt. She is determined to let other young women know how important it is to have daring and determination and to believe in yourself. And to finish what you begin. She continues. “The Miss Intercontinental Pageant means business. There’s three weeks of photo and video shoots, interviews and public speaking. Basically, you’ve got to make sure you are looking and behaving your best 24 hours a day no matter where you are. As Miss Intercontinental Australia 2018, I receive my flights and accommodation free to the Philippines. I also received a range of great products, clothes, artwork and beauty products, but more importantly the crown and sash and the recognition of all the hard work and the realisation that if you believe in yourself, anything is possible. That’s a big part of pageantry. Focus on the goal. Believe that it can eventuate with hard work and visualisation.” Mikaela-Rose laughs a lot. As we chat on the phone, her self-confident energy buzzes down the line like a surge of non-egotistical lightning that is contagious. Sponsored by Saya Medispa in Somerville and as SkinO2 Mineral Makeup & Cosmetics Products’ official ambassador, this longhaired, long-legged beauty is lovely on the inside as well as on the exterior and she is preparing for the event of her life. She’s ready. To get behind her international pageantry adventure, follow her on Facebook at MikaelaRose Fowler or on Instagram at MIKAELA-ROSE FOWLER.

BY LIZ ROGERS Lorraine Reeves does fashion. At 50 years old, this dedicated student of embellishment, embroidery, detail and texture has come a long way from the young girl sewing outfits for her Barbie in a small South Gippsland town. Things were different then when she began dressmaking at eight or nine years old. All the other girls wanted to get a job and get married after they finished school, but not Lorraine. She dreamt of becoming an interior designer, and then of making and creating couture, although she didn’t know it was called that then. Chanel. Dior. Balenciaga. Valentino. Ah! These were things worth dreaming about! High school happened and her interest in fashion developed, but support and like-minded fashion enthusiasts were hard to find. Time moved quickly and yes, she did get married, worked in retail — ladies’, men’s and kids’ fashion — and continued to make outfits for herself and friends and family. She also did a TAFE course in pattern-making when she was 26. She explains. “People would ring me up when they wanted a wedding dress or something special. That’s what it was like in a small town. Everyone knew I could sew. I went back to school as a mature-age student to get more knowledge of the design process. It was also super-stimulating to be surrounded by other creatives who were interested in fashion. I’d never had that before.” Lorraine has just completed her Advanced Fashion Design - Bachelor of Fashion Technology course at the Melbourne School of Fashion. Getting up at 6am, driving to Seaford from Mount Martha and arriving home about 8pm. “I only had to do the fashion component of the course because I had so much previous experience, but the workload was big. It’s a three-year degree. I couldn’t have completed it without my husband, Andrew. He’s been fantastic. I was the oldest in the class but found my life experience gave me more focus. I really wanted to be there. I stopped working part-time in my final year so I could really concentrate.” Which was a smart move because she got selected to show a student capsule collection last September at Fashion Week. She continues. “My collection was called Rendition and was inspired by the classics. I love working on one-off garments. They were timeless pieces that were heavily embellished. Tassels separated and sewn together, reworked. I love morphing fabric into something else. It showed on the student runway. My label is called Kitty Reeves.” Entering the world of fashion at any age can be challenging, but that doesn’t seem to bother this Mornington Peninsula designer. She’s just getting set to be part of Fashions on the Field at Flemington Racecourse after supplying a look book and being chosen as one of the 10 finalists. “All the fashion institutes were invited and I got chosen. We have to design the complete look. Choose accessories, shoes. Unconventional racewear. That’s what I’d call mine. A model named Gabby Kellie will wear my outfit. It has to be ready by November 6. I’d better get to it.” Yes, you’d better, Lorraine. Life takes twists and turns but one thing’s for sure — it’s never too late to do what you love. Is it?

Stylish drama set in changing times Ladies in Black, a glamorous, heartwarming and long-anticipated drama by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Bruce Beresford, takes its audience on a trip back to late 1950s Sydney. The film is deemed to evoke a sense of nostalgia and pride for Australia’s powerful history of immigration and women’s liberation. The film is an adaptation of Madeleine St John’s novel Women in Black, a prized story of a fresh-out-of-high-school Leslie Miles. A shy bookish Leslie undertakes an internship at a prestigious department store during summer in 1959. Awaiting her university application results, she is on the brink of a new life. Leslie gets taken under the wing of Magda, a poised European expat who introduces her to the world of émigré Sydney. The dazzling world of fashion and culture is contrasted by Leslie’s conservative

suburban household. Strong female friendships and Magda’s cultural influence foster Leslie’s metamorphosis into a young liberated Australian woman. Period fashion, ‘50s jazz and Sydney glamour all contribute to the exceptional charm of Ladies in Black. Premiered at the State Theatre in the heart of Sydney’s historic department stores precinct, Ladies in Black is destined to become an Australian classic. Starring Julia Ormond, Angourie Rice, Rachael Taylor and Vincent Perez, the film was released in cinemas on September 20. marshalls+dent+wilmoth’s Entertainment Department proudly provided legal services for all stages of the production of Ladies in Black.

For Mornington-based book club The Happy Bookers, the third Tuesday of every month means a discussion of their latest read with a side of wine and cheese. The brainchild of Sarah Hansen and Dee Rorke, The Happy Bookers’ story began 11 years ago and is still going. There are currently 12 members of the group, which only recently settled on its name. “We went to see The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society,” original member Francesca McLoughlin explains. “We wanted a name like that for our group. Someone suggested The Happy Bookers and we were quite ‘happy’ with that!” The group meets each January to decide the books and the meeting dates for the coming year. Every month, one member hosts while another brings food and a third is tasked with preparing questions and leading the discussion. “We each enjoy the opportunity to put forward our own opinions and feel safe to do so without the risk of criticism,” explains Gabrielle Gordon. “This is very special and allows us all to not only reflect on how we think and feel, but also how those around us think and feel.” “We talk over each other, we disagree, we often are

honestly raw,” continues Amy McKenzie-McHarg. “What makes this a great group is that we are not afraid to speak openly and truthfully and know that, whatever happens, we’ll be there for the next book and to share another bottle of wine.” The Happy Bookers have had some climactic plot points in their narrative, including meeting the authors of books they’ve read together. The ladies enjoyed discussing the life and writing process of Sohila Zanjani, author of Scattered Pearls, over dinner and recently caught up with Music and Freedom author Zoe Morrison to chat about her award-winning novel. “What stands out to me is that although it started being about books and a shared love of reading, it’s now something so much bigger,” says Sally Lloyd. Lucia Keightley, who returned to university as a mature-age student, agrees. “The interest and encouragement that has been shown to me over the years has all gone towards my success in achieving my dream of furthering my education.” “As we have been together for 11 years, our book club has experienced the great excitement of births, the enormous sadness of deaths and every other emotion,” Sarah Hansen says. “We are more than a book club now — we are lifelong friends.” Who says reading has to be a solitary experience?

MORNING MELODIES BY LIZ ROGERS

Imagine this. You’re standing in the hallway in a pair of shorts. After all, it’s a hot night in Mount Eliza, right? Then, without warning, a cat launches at you, claws and all, leaving scratches up and down your legs and giving you a right scare in the process. A cat named Milo, who also goes by Miss. A cat who usually sits around purring, talking and receiving sweet tooth treats (if he can get them!). A feline who appears to have just a little bit of a split personality. Hannah Scott explains. “That’s what happened — just out of the blue with no warning at all and there he was on me! We got him when he was about three or four months old from the RSPCA. Apparently he’d had a previous owner who brought him back. We’ll never know what he experienced, but every now and then he just attacks. The rest of the time he snuggles and sits at the back door chatting to the birds. He doesn’t go after them. He just meows.” There’s a running argument in the Scott family over the origin of his name. Hannah’s business-studying brother Chris —who is really Milo’s owner — says he named Milo Issue 84, NOVEMBER 2018

after the cat tried to drink his Milo. Hannah reckons he was named after a dog in an Xbox game her father was playing — and she has no clue why she calls him Miss. Either way, this Bachelor of Nursing student at Federation University Australia in Berwick thinks Milo’s just a little bit weird, but in all the right ways. She continues. “He lives inside and sleeps on my bed during the day, on Mum when she’s on the couch and on Dad when he’s in bed. He hides under Chris’s bed when he’s afraid. He’s really scared of baking foil and rubbish trucks and hates the wind. I think he’s a bit of a man’s cat. He prefers to hang with Chris and Dad.” This 10-year-old tabby cat is spoilt rotten. Whether it’s a chicken dinner or a bit of Weet-Bix and milk, he’s got this family wrapped around his slightly nutty but perfectly self-cleaned and preened paws. Who cares if he’s a bit on the chubby side, doesn’t like his vegetables and lets off a bit of aggro steam every now and then. Hannah doesn’t. “If he jumps on the bed or couch, he wants to be as close to you as possible. Purring.” Who needs scratch-free legs anyway?

Typically, boat berths are on Crown land and are subject to leaseholds only. Investing in a marina berth at Hidden Harbour not only provides you with secure boat storage with easy access to the water, it also gives you

the chance to own an asset with strong capital growth potential. Port Phillip Bay is also a protected harbour that you can sail straight out of, only further adding to the convenience of the location. In addition to berth sales, Hidden Harbour Marina also offers on-site support and services to berth owners, as well as purpose-built facilities with: • 24-hour security; • Free parking just metres from your boat; • Toilets; • Water and power; • Boat fuel access (diesel and unleaded); and, • A playground for young boaters

The Martha Cove area is undergoing continuous development and will be a standout spot on the Peninsula in the years to come. If you do own a berth at Hidden Harbour, you’re probably already picturing your summer on the water. There’s nothing quite like feeling the golden glow from the sun, having the wind lightly whip through your hair as you sail your boat and gently cruise along the water. Imagine living this life all the time. This is your last opportunity to secure your very own freehold berth at Hidden Harbour Marina. For more information, please call Damian Merchan on 0481 207 832.

If you’ve ever yearned to learn more about the night sky, the Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society’s public astronomy evenings are definitely for you. They’re held on the first Friday of every month at the MPAS Observation Centre at The Briars in Mount Martha — the only registered observatory on the Peninsula — and are great fun for the whole family. Even the littlies get a thrill from holding a meteorite or looking through a telescope, and there are multimedia presentations with animation and videos that are as entertaining as they are informative. The astronomy evenings start at 8pm with a multimedia talk and Q&A, during which you’ll be able to ask any astronomy-related questions you have, before moving outside to view the moon, planets such as Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, interesting stars and clusters, and bright satellites and the International Space Station through a wide array of telescopes supplied by society members. Free light refreshments are also provided. Please dress appropriately for being outdoors and on a grassy or uneven surface, and for more information, bookings and a map, visit the society’s website at mpas.asn.au

New train line an alternative to ‘Mum’s taxi’ BY MIKE HAST

The proposed Frankston to Baxter rail extension is big news across the region, but which governments are supporting it, where will the stations be built, and how will the new train line benefit the wider community? With strong backing from the Federal Government and Opposition and the State Opposition, the $450 million-plus project has three of the four promises needed for it to go ahead. Rail supporters want the State Government to join the party, but in the lead-up to November’s state election there has been no word yet from Premier Daniel Andrews. Three new stations have been proposed on the 8km extension. Frankston East would service Frankston Hospital and Monash University’s Peninsula campus and see up to 5000 “boardings” each weekday, making it among the top 25 busiest suburban stations. Six times more people could reach the hospital and university precinct within 50 minutes (walking plus train journey). With the State Government backing the hospital’s rebuilding project to the tune of $562 million, this station is essential to fulfil the grand vision of creating a world-leading teaching hospital alongside its normal functions. The station would relieve pressure on scarce hospital and health precinct parking. The second station, as yet unnamed, would service 13,500 residents of Karingal, Frankston Heights and Lakeside. The third station, Langwarrin, would service 23,800 residents, and a 1000-plus commuter carpark has been proposed. An upgraded Baxter station also would have a new carpark and would be used by people living farther afield. The new carparks would take pressure off Frankston’s CBD. Frankston station carpark holds just 416 vehicles and is full by 6.30am weekdays. Later commuters take many affordable CBD car spaces. The new line and its carparks outside the CBD would free up spaces for shoppers, traders and their staff as well as visitors and tourists. Shopping and working in Frankston would be far less hassle if

( 24

affordable carparks were easier to find. Some commuters who miss out on a CBD park keep driving up the line until they find a carpark at Kananook, Seaford or Carrum stations, a major inconvenience. Life would be so much easier if you knew there was plenty of station parking on McClelland Drive, Langwarrin. A reliable train service every 10-15 minutes would transform Karingal, Frankston Heights, Frankston South and beyond. It would enable workers to get out of their cars and off congested roads, getting to and from work faster and home to their families sooner. Better transport would improve access to higher paying jobs and boost local incomes, a welcome relief as the cost of living rises. ‘Mum’s taxi’ would get a break — frequent, safe and reliable trains would enable young people to be more independent of their parents for transport. How good would it be if teenagers could get to their jobs, the beach or sports matches without having to ask Mum or Dad to drive them? Committee for Greater Frankston is among organisations backing the rail extension; others include Frankston Council, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Frankston Hospital, Peninsula Health, Monash University, Karingal Hub, and Frankston traders. Committee CEO Ginevra Hosking, the granddaughter of Frankston’s first mayor, Percy Hosking, who founded Hosking’s Jewellers in 1945, has prepared a compelling case for the extension. “Karingal and Langwarrin are two of Melbourne’s most car-dependent suburbs and the extension will be a game-changer for residents,” Ginevra said. “It will radically transform public transport in our region, drive creation of new jobs and improve overall prosperity, reduce congestion on roads, free up crowded carparks, and make better use of public and private assets like Frankston Hospital and Monash’s Peninsula campus.” More information about the rail project is on the committee’s website at c4gf.com. au Mike Hast is a freelance writer for the Committee for Greater Frankston and a former editor of Peninsula newspapers.

Solid foundations vital for future learning success Research suggests children are more likely to achieve higher academic results if they are able to read, write and perform basic computational mathematics tasks by the time they reach Year 3. Now more than ever, importance is being placed on early learning and early primary school education to ensure that children develop the skills that will give them the best possible start for a lifetime of learning. Ensuring basic proficiency skills by Year 3 begins when one chooses the right kind of education for their child. When searching for a quality Early Learning Centre and Junior School, it is important to consider how the school is going to align the curriculum in terms of literacy, numeracy and life skills such as resilience and creative thinking. At Toorak College, our Early Learning and Prep to Year 2 programs aim to be nurturing, structured and rich in experiences that enable students to discover themselves as learners. Emphasis is placed on the whole child and their capabilities rather than what a child cannot do. In short, we identify a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths in order to further develop their weaknesses or skills not yet attained.

When deciding if a school is right for your child, I recommend that parents understand the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curriculum to determine how much attention is focused on reading, creative arts, science and language. Secondly, focus on how much

time is dedicated to embracing skills such as critical and creative thinking, resilience and problem solving. With all this at the forefront of your mind, you will be able to make an informed decision in choosing the right place for your child. This will

result in your child being able to enjoy their education and feel confident and competent to achieve their personal best in Year 3 and beyond. Miss Melissa Schoorman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Head of Wardle House, Deputy Principal

At Woodleigh, we are working toward the development of a Year 12 transcript that better reflects the scope and depth of a Woodleigh Education. While the development of independent, creative and compassionate young people has long been an area of strength for Woodleigh, our

challenge is to find authentic ways of capturing and communicating student growth and achievement in relation to these critical 21st century capabilities. In order to meet this challenge, the school has started work on the creation of a Woodleigh School Certificate (WSC). This will be a digital transcript, designed The Woodleigh School Certificate. Focused on a future where tertiary providers move beyond ATAR as a sole measure of student performance.

to capture the depth and breadth of a Woodleigh Education. With only one in four students now being admitted to an undergraduate course based solely on their ATAR score, this move is both timely and future focused. It should be noted that this project does not reflect a diminished commitment to helping students achieve their personal best in Year 12, but rather a wider recognition that a simple numeric score does not adequately reflect the personal learning journey and accomplishments of students during their 13 years of schooling. In support of this groundbreaking project, Woodleigh is proud to announce the creation of two key strategic partnerships that will help us with this work. Mastery Transcript Consortium (MTC) During Term 2, Woodleigh became a member of the Mastery Transcript Consortium. The MTC is an international collective of secondary schools who are working together to develop alternative models of assessment and accreditation

for graduating students. Their aim is to build improved ways of capturing the scope of progressive secondary schooling, and create new platforms for supporting student transition into further study and/ or work. Deakin University In Semester 1, Woodleigh developed a strategic partnership with Deakin University focused on micro-credentialling and the development of capabilities for living and learning. Through the partnership, Woodleigh students will be able to earn globally recognised credentials in relation to areas such as leadership, communication and problem solving. Complementary to qualifications gained through the completion of a VCE or VETiS course, micro-credentials will provide an externally verified way of measuring and recognising the skills and capabilities for which Woodleigh graduates have long been known.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Family Services and Community Planning unit is unapologetically proactive in closing the education gap, particularly when it comes to families with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander babies and young children. The Shire has an ongoing relationship with the Aboriginal Gathering Place, Willum Warrain, to co-facilitate the culturally appropriate Koori Kids Bush playgroup held

every Wednesday from 10am-noon, excluding school holidays. Exclusively for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children up to five years old, this playgroup provides a natural learning environment with weekly activities that aim to connect families with their culture in a safe space. It’s run by Carla Lauch and Kerry Fortuyn. The unit teams work closely with other agencies to develop holistic approaches to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families are receiving information that encourages and enables them to enrol their children

Photo by Yanni in the Early Start to Kindergarten (ESK) program. Working with Peninsula Health Aboriginal Early Start to Life, Frankston City Council, Koori Education Support officers and the Shire’s Maternal and Child Health team and a specialist Aboriginal MCH outreach worker, the unit aims to foster relationships while providing an opportunity to support families in accessing other programs and services in their area. Adopting culturally safe practices has led to a large increase of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children attending playgroup and a significant uptake in Kindergarten Central registrations. Proactive strategies are implemented to assist new families in accessing two years of funded kindergarten by identifying those new registrations and offering the ESK program. Assistance is also provided to ensure the second year of ESK is implemented.

More than 300,000 migrants came to the Bonegilla Migrant Camp, which opened its gates in 1947 in northeastern Victoria. Frankston North jazz musician and artist Hermann Schwaiger was one of them. He was 13 when he arrived in Bonegilla with his family, who had sailed by ship from post-war Germany to a far-off world where mess huts with unlined timber frames and toilet blocks must have looked particularly strange, like ugly wooden time capsules baking beneath the Albury/Wodonga sun. No more Eastern Alps; no more medieval and baroque buildings. So, this was home. Hermann explains. “We loved our time at Bonegilla — all exotic, such as big gum trees, hot weather and licence-free fishing under the age of 16. We were only there for a month and then moved to Maribyrnong, then Ascot Vale and eventually to Kinglake. We — I have three brothers and a sister — lost our old house in the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009. We lost people too. I used to work in my grandfather’s music shop, which was on the German side of the border only 4km from Salzburg in a town called Freilassing. He made accordions, which he exported across the world, and he also played in the Edelweiss Trio. My mother studied opera singing in Salzburg and my father wanted to be a classical pianist but the war came along. I’ve probably been playing jazz for around 40 years. The music was always there.” The Bonegilla camp ceased operation in 1971, but Hermann has never stopped creating.

He has played with the best of them since taking up double bass in the ‘70s after coming out of the Fine Arts Department at RMIT when he formed the Hermann Schwaiger Quintet. Then there was the Chris McNulty Quintet playing double bass, the year he spent playing with pianist Paul Grabowsky and acclaimed drummer and percussionist David Jones, and jazzing it up with the likes of Vince Jones, Jane Clifton and Wilbur Wilde and touring with the Cathay Pacific Band in Hong Kong. In between came painting workshops at Kinglake and Somerville. He continues. “I began painting about 20 years ago. I use acrylics to paint Melbourne streetscapes and the people in them. I suppose it’s about documenting life as it is now and being representational. I just like doing it. I’ve shown my work in the Derinya Art & Craft Exhibition, Camberwell Art Show, Flinders Art Show and have just been in the 40th annual Mount Eliza Art Show.” Life has taken many melodic twists and turns for this music and art expressionist who is looking forward to a future filled with more of the same creation. From Salzburg to Frankston North, his double bass and paint brushes will continue to tell their stories of his deep connections with the world around him. Whether far away or just around the corner.

Casual chats with Peninsula people

BY YAZMINE LOMAX

By day, Paddy Swayn is the popular PE teacher at Moorooduc Primary School, but in the afternoons and on weekends you’ll find him on the footy field coaching the Pines Pythons to premiership victory. We caught up with the sports fanatic for a chat about the ups and downs of coaching and how it felt to snag a win in the MPNFL Division One Grand Final. How did coaching the Pines come about? I played at the Pines when we won our last premiership 24 years ago. One of my teammates went on to coach at Rosebud Football Netball Club and he asked me to help out and see if I liked coaching. That was back in 2000 and now, 19 seasons later, I’m still doing it. After assistant coaching at Rosebud, I had numerous coaching roles with Somerville Football Club (2005-2007), Pines (2008-2009) and Frankston VFL (2010-2014) before returning to Pines in 2015. What’s the best part of being a football coach? It would have to be the development of individual players, the growth of the side and club as we learn together, and seeing the joy on the supporters’ faces when we play. And I’d be lying if I didn’t say winning! What are some challenges you face? There are plenty of challenges that come with being a football coach but the No.1 is backing yourself. Time is another big one; fitting in family, work and friendships as well as coaching a local senior football side is really challenging. What’s the secret to being a premiership-winning coach? Experience. It’s all about making mistakes, learning from them, and then getting things right next time. Also asking questions. I’d never coached a grand final before so I rang other coaches and spoke to them. When the winning point was kicked I felt all the losses, all the setbacks and all the heartaches released in one emotion. It wasn’t the sense of relief that many coaches talk about; it was pure joy knowing we’d achieved something pretty special. Why do you love where you live and how does it inspire your work? We’re spoilt for choices of things to do here. We have beaches, wineries, golf courses, sporting facilities, restaurants, schools … it’s endless. And the people here are pretty relaxed. I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

Hey kids, ever wanted to race a train? Well, now you can — the third annual Kids’ Fun Run With K163 is on Sunday, November 18. There will be plenty of fun for the whole family, and as well as keeping fit you’ll be doing your bit to help sick or injured children. Organised by the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza, the fun run’s major beneficiary will be Frankston Hospital’s paediatric unit as well as other Rotary community projects, and organisers expect 400 youngsters will pit their pace against the historic steam locomotive K163 at Moorooduc station. Open to kinder and primary school-aged children, the event will include eight runs based on age and distance and will close with a 4km family run or walk for mums, dads, grandparents, carers and friends. There will also be face painting, an animal farm, novelty characters, a drawing competition and a CFA display, as well as a sausage sizzle, drinks and ice creams to help keep those energy levels up. If you’ve got a business and are interested in sponsoring the fun run, there are four sponsorship levels — Platinum ($5000), Gold ($3000), Silver ($1500) and Bronze ($750) — and you can also make a cash or an in-kind donation too. Businesses wanting to sponsor the 2018 Kids’ Fun Run With K163 can contact Chris Angerer on 9770 0611 or email chris@frankstonorthopaedicservices.com.au, or Renée Mazzoni on 9788 1504 or email rmazzoni@phcn.vic.gov.au

Lisa shows Frankston in a positive light

Photo: Steve Brown

BY KATE SEARS

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. “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 has been 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.” This month, 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

You only need to look at the 10,000 Victorians who attended last month’s annual Gluten Free Expo in Melbourne to realise the huge interest in gluten-free lifestyles. Yet there still appears to be a lack of knowledge of gluten-free standards in the food industry. Experts say that the single most important thing you can do to ensure the safe delivery of gluten-free food is to improve training and knowledge about glutenfree food practices. Chisholm attended the expo and hosted a live cooking demonstration, serving up a nourishing tempura calamari and sweet potato with fennel salad, and next year it’s launching Gluten Free Short Courses to meet the needs of the food industry as well as athome cooks. Some might think a gluten-free lifestyle is just the latest health or diet fad, but for the one in 70 Australians who have coeliac disease and the thousands who have noncoeliac gluten sensitivity, it’s a necessity. While “gluten-free” and “GF” have become commonplace on food labels and menus, results from a 2017 City of Melbourne food sampling program found that nearly 10 per cent of foods tested were not compliant with the FSANZ definition of gluten-free. In the same study, only 10 per cent of food service staff had good knowledge of the gluten-free standards of the FSANZ code. This is bad news for gluten-free consumers and bad for business. More than ever, it is vitally important to become informed about proper glutenfree food practices and put them into action. Chisholm can show you how. Sign up and express your interest in Chisholm’s Gluten Free Short Courses at chisholm.edu. au/glutenfree to receive updates about Chisholm’s gluten-free training so that you can go gluten-free with confidence.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s visit to Melbourne Many readers will remember the Royal visit to Victoria in February and March of 1954. Prince Philip accompanied Queen Elizabeth II on that occasion, but another Duke of Edinburgh had made a previous visit. Prince Alfred, the second son of Queen Victoria, was the first member of the British Royal Family to visit Australia. At the age of 23 he arrived here in command of HMS Galatea during a visit to the Australian Colonies. Shortly before noon on Saturday, November 23, 1867, HMS Galatea steamed through the Heads to be greeted by a salute from the guns at Queenscliff and those of HMCS Victoria, which was waiting with the Governor aboard. A flotilla of around 20 steamers, crowded with people anxious to greet the Prince, formed up in two lines to escort the visitor via the South Channel to Melbourne. At first this presented a fine sight, with clouds of smoke from the ships’ funnels and some vessels with sails also set. The escort, however, was unable to keep pace and the Galatea was soon well ahead. It had to wait for the escort to reform for the official welcome by crowds lining the shores around Hobsons Bay. Before his visit to Melbourne, Prince Alfred had visited Adelaide. He later visited Hobart and Sydney before going on to Brisbane. While in Victoria he visited Geelong,

Ballarat, Castlemaine, Bendigo and the Western District. Everywhere he went he was greeted by huge crowds but on many occasions problems occurred. Several planned functions were failures or turned into riots, and deaths and injuries resulted. While in Sydney an attempt was made to assassinate Prince Alfred, but he quickly recovered from a bullet wound to his back. HMS Galatea was a 3200-ton, 26-gun frigate launched

in 1859. Rigged as a ship, she was also equipped with an 800-horsepower steam engine driving a propeller that could be raised when sailing. Her hull measured around 75m but her bowsprit and jib-boom added another 10m. Melbourne’s Alfred Hospital, which opened in 1871, was named in honour of our first Royal visitor, Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh.

Pros and cons regardless of origin Lab-grown diamonds mimic the optical and chemical characteristics of a real diamond, yet their creation couldn’t be more different. Natural mined diamonds formed deep within the Earth’s crust up to three billion years ago, which is certainly a far cry from the massproduced diamond made in the lab in a matter of weeks. As Leonardo DiCaprio showed in Blood Diamond, mined diamonds certainly come with a chequered past. There is no question over the origin of a lab diamond, and for some people that is half the appeal. Issue 84, NOVEMBER 2018

As with any diamond, there are the good, the bad and the ugly, and price ultimately depends on quality. However, it would be wrong to assume that lab diamonds must be perfect every time. They are not. There are some very poor quality lab-grown diamonds as there are natural mined diamonds. You do get what you pay for in either scenario. For unbiased guidance on a diamond that is right for you, speak to Anthony Hansen at Diamond Coco on 1300 230 630 or visit Suite 6, 38A Main St, Mornington by appointment.

The art of ageing well on the Peninsula What kind of community do you want to live and age in? Mornington Peninsula Shire invites older people, service provider representatives, clubs, groups and businesses to its 2018 Positive Ageing Community Summit on Thursday, November 8. Mayor Bryan Payne said the summit was a free event and would bring the community together to talk about experiences of ageing on the Peninsula. “The summit aims to assist council to continue to plan well for older people on the Peninsula and offers an opportunity to check in on the progress of our positive ageing strategy, The Mornington Peninsula, A Community for All Ages,” Cr Payne said. “The summit provides a platform for the community to share any new issues and opportunities that will enable us to work better together.” The summit will include an address by Dr Susan Feldman, Adjunct Associate Professor Monash University, Primary Care Research, with research interests including the psychosocial health and well-being of older women and men, including culturally

and linguistically diverse communities. Dr Feldman will talk about happiness and ageing well. There will also be small group discussions and feedback opportunities, community presentations that showcase some great community initiatives that contribute to ageing well on the Peninsula, and morning tea and a shared community lunch. The chairwoman of the Shire’s Positive Ageing Steering Committee, Cr Antonella Celi, said the summit would be a chance for Peninsula service providers to get among the community and speak directly with a highly engaged audience. “Older people make up more than 30 per cent of the population and that figure is growing,” Cr Celi said. “The summit brings residents and community organisations together to share feedback, thoughts and ideas on how we can keep improving the Peninsula as a place to age well.” The summit is at Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, from10am-2pm. RSVP by Monday, November 5, on 5950 1617 or email positiveageing@mornpen.vic.gov. au, and let the Shire know if you require transport assistance.

Display sheds light on our fruitgrowing history Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and the Somerville, Tyabb and District Heritage Society have opened the new historical display shed at Fruit Growers Reserve in Somerville. Mayor Bryan Payne said the council was proud to have been able to contribute more than $214,000 towards not only upgrading the existing shed, but also additional improvement works at Fruit Growers Reserve. “The Somerville and Tyabb Heritage Society’s work is an important aspect of preserving the memory of our fruit

growing history,” Cr Payne said. “This upgrade has provided the society with an enclosed shed that has more space for displays and more working area to maintain the machinery.” The society originally operated out of a deteriorating open-air machinery shed at the reserve to display historic fruit growing machinery to the public. The new shed includes secure viewing windows, roller doors, a kitchenette, a toilet and minor landscaping and service upgrades.

Civic Reserve upgrade off and running

The $6.25 million transformation of Mornington’s Civic Reserve is well on track to be completed by next May. The project, which will include a 400m all-weather athletics track and four full-size soccer pitches, will better meet the needs of a range of Peninsula sporting groups, including Mornington Little Athletics Centre,

( 46

Everything we love about the peninsula, fresh every month

Mornington Peninsula Athletics Club, and the Mount Martha Soccer Club, which will move its 400-plus members to a new home ground at the reserve once work is complete. Mayor Bryan Payne said the vision for Civic Reserve was to provide new athletics and soccer facilities that, once implemented, would improve the appearance, safety and amenity of the reserve. “The construction of an all-weather athletics track will provide opportunity for Mornington Athletics Club and Mornington Little Athletics Club to train and compete at an international standard facility,” Cr Payne said. “The construction of four soccer pitches will provide a safe and suitable home facility for Mount Martha Soccer Club.” Cr Payne was joined at the reserve by Flinders federal Liberal MP Greg Hunt, Dunkley federal Liberal MP Chris Crewther and Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors Bev Colomb and Sam Hearn to review progress on the work, which is being funded by a $3 million Federal Government grant and $3.25 million from the council. Cr Hearn said: “We are constantly looking for ways to improve the Shire’s sporting facilities to ensure they are meeting the needs and requirements of its users.” Cr Rosie Clark said: “It will be great to see this reserve revamped to improve its overall quality and conditions for its users. These new facilities will help local sports groups attract new members and improve their overall experience of Civic Reserve.” Cr Colomb said: “The addition of this track and these fields means more of our community can enjoy participating in sport.” To stay up to date with the project, visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/ majorprojects

You’ve bought a DSLR camera, you’ve got the lens on, you’ve switched it to Auto and got some great pictures — and some not-so-great ones. You’ve chased the kids around the yard and they’re all blurry. You’re probably frustrated right now, so this is what you can do to get good clear pictures of your children worthy of the walls.

This image was taken with ISO200 f5 shutter speed 1/300s, producing a slightly blurred arm. If I’d used a shutter speed over 1/400, the picture would have been sharper.

certainly solve most situations. You control everything. That said, even as an avid photographer I usually rely on the shutter speed mode for pictures of my children. Depending on your camera model, it can appear as an ‘S’ or ‘Tv’. In this mode, you can change the shutter speed (how fast the camera takes a photo) and the ISO (how sensitive your camera is to light). To take a step backwards, your camera needs light to produce an image. The faster you want to take a picture to prevent blurring, the less light you let into the camera. So you need to get your light from other sources. This can be from your ISO (too high an ISO can lead to grainy pictures) or from your aperture, which narrows your depth of field — that is, how much of the picture is in focus. This is the balancing act of a photographer. Of course, if you have good sunlight or a flash, this can help to get more light in the camera for sharper pictures.

While Auto will work in most situations, it can’t always detect what you’re trying to do. Some cameras come with a Sports Mode or Scene Selection, which typically will have a sports setting. This can help in most situations. However, if you’re still having problems there is more you can do before admitting defeat. For the more experienced user, Manual mode can

Kids are fast, so your camera needs to be faster. Try turning the switch to ‘Tv’ or ‘S’ and start at 1/400s for kids playing casually. In comparison, for birds in flight it’s usually recommended to use 1/1250s. So if your kids bounce around as much as mine do, you might want to aim for a faster setting. On overcast days or inside, you will notice your pictures will become quite grainy with Auto-ISO. Sometimes it is just the trade-off you need to make for sharper pictures. However, if you are able to keep your ISO setting at 800 or less, you won’t have that grainy, pixeled look. Your focus setting is also important. Make sure you change your focus to AutoServo so it tracks your kids as they move. Otherwise they will be out of focus before you get a chance to take the photo. So to get those little mischief-makers in focus, try the Sports setting, or ‘Tv’/’S’ Issue 84, NOVEMBER 2018

Journeys Rediscovered is the culmination of Kirsty ThomasThoeun’s 21 years in the travel industry and her passion for the exotic destinations of Asia, Africa and India. Developing wonderful contacts with hotels and local operators allows Journeys Rediscovered to create unique experiences and immersive itineraries for small groups and individuals alike. Kirsty loves creating itineraries for families and says travelling with children allows for greater interaction with locals. “India is an amazing destination; of course, we all hear stories of travellers getting ‘Delhi belly’, and this may make some hesitant to travel there with children. However, I believe it is such a fascinating and rewarding holiday experience for families with children aged eight and above. “My 10-year-old daughter Aimee recently accompanied me to India. We explored Delhi and Rajasthan before heading to Varanasi, the spiritual heart of India. We took a side trip to a new upcoming beach destination, the Andaman Islands, and finally the romantic old British cities of Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Madras (Chennai). “Before our trip, some were surprised I would take a child to Varanasi, but it was a favourite of both Aimee and I, along with Kolkata. The crowds, chaos and frenetic pace of locals coming down to the Ganges was a little daunting for Aimee for the first couple minutes but she held both my hand and that of our guide and quickly appreciated Varanasi as much as I did. We had a private blessing at an old Nepali temple before sailing on the Ganges to Dashashwamedh Ghat to witness the colour and sounds of drums, bells and chanting of prayers. This ceremony is mesmerising, and ends with the release of hundreds of lamps on to the water of the Ganges.” Journeys Rediscovered has chosen itineraries that are perfect for families.

There are some wonderful hotels in India that parents or grandparents will love and that go out of their way to make sure their younger guests enjoy their stay too.

Vital resource down the drain Recycled water currently being poured into Bass Strait should be used for fire protection and agriculture, according to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

Peninsula taken for granted, says ALP

Cr Payne said a network of pipes distributing recycled water could be equipped with fire hydrants, allowing multiple roadside quick filling points for all trucks in a fire emergency, instead of isolated or hard-to-access tanks that may not be accessible during an emergency.

Labor’s Nepean candidate Chris Brayne says there are good people in both major parties. “But for too long, our Peninsula has been taken for granted by our local politicians who know they need not work too hard because, regardless of what they do, they will be re-elected.

“The predicted dangerous fire season also coincides with the massive increase in population on the Peninsula during the summer/Christmas holidays — from 150,000 to 250,000 people — when beachside camps and holiday homes are heavily populated,” he said. “The recycled water should be treated to be suitable for both agriculture and firefighting so any run-off into streams or the environment would not impact on the Peninsula’s flora or fauna, and the pipeline should be funded as a major infrastructure project.”

“The issues facing the people of Nepean are more likely to be addressed and given deserving attention when their politicians don’t just win because of their political party, but because they’ve brought tangible results to the area they are elected to serve. “Tourism is the lifeblood of our Peninsula. I’ll work with locals, our tourism board and companies based on the Peninsula who are so reliant on tourism to work through ways to make tourism something everyone can get behind. I will fight to keep the Green Wedge and ensure all inappropriate development is halted because we don’t want to ruin the very reason we all came down here in the first place. Labor will always protect funding for health, education and law enforcement. There are more police on the beat in Victoria than ever before.” Follow Chris’s campaign on his Facebook page BrayneForNepean.

Mayor Bryan Payne said 350 million litres of class A recycled water from the Eastern Treatment Plant was being wasted every day. With predictions of one of the most dangerous fire seasons approaching, he called on all major political parties to commit money for a recycled water pipeline that would pump the recycled water up Arthurs Seat at Dromana and provide a gravity-fed water pressure system to vast areas of the main ridge and coastal villages.

A vision for our future Russell Joseph is passionate about preserving what we love about the Peninsula. The Liberals’ Nepean candidate, whose family has lived, worked and farmed here for many years and who still lives in Dromana with his wife, Mary, says Peninsula infrastructure has not kept pace with population growth, “and only the Liberals have a plan to regain control of law and order, public transport, traffic congestion and your cost of living”. “The Liberals will develop local jobs and careers and maintain the balance between economic development and preserving our green wedge hinterland and bayside townships,” Russell said. As part of his broader vision for Nepean, Russell has pledged $2.5 million to upgrade Red Hill Consolidated School, $790,000 for a new CFA satellite station and truck at St Andrews Beach, $60,000 to pave the Balnarring carpark at St Mark’s Anglican Church, and a comprehensive feasibility study for a Peninsula recycled water scheme. “As a qualiﬁed carpenter, I managed my own construction business for over 25 years and I will bring real-world practical commercial experience to the Victorian Parliament to ensure local businesses and their issues are heard and properly represented.”

Bowled over for jack and kitty Well, who doesn’t love a bit of bowls? The days when this relaxing and meditative sport was reserved for seniors is long gone. There’s been a big resurgence of the game that uses biased balls sometimes called woods and a small ball called the jack, kitty, sweetie or white. The names may be a bit weird but punters of all ages across the Peninsula are playing bowls, including primary school kids and teenagers.

bunch of friends for an end-of-year get-together. There’s plenty of friendly weekly competition available too. Lawn bowls may have a new image but the pastime still delivers lots of good oldfashioned sportsmanship, conversation and fresh air stimulation. The first lawn bowls game reported in Australia was played in Tasmania in 1845, and objects have been found in Egyptian graves that appeared to have been used for a simple version of the game — so there must be something about this activity that keeps generations of people coming back for more. Get your bowls on this summer. Jack and kitty are waiting.

BAREFOOT BOWLS Friendly club in a gorgeous setting

Flinders Golf Bowls Club is a small and friendly club in a beautiful private setting surrounded by gardens and birds at the bottom of Bass St.

BACK FOR SUMMER Barefoot bowls and Christmas cheer

Future looks bright for renamed club

Widely admired for its stunning views and set in a secluded, tranquil part of Mount Martha, the Mt Martha Bowls & Social Club is known as a “hidden gem”.

Bowls in Rosebud is undergoing a raft of changes, with Rosebud Beach Community Bowls Club’s new name reflecting its direction as a true community organisation.

Barefoot bowls is for players of any age group, and office workers, sales people, students, teachers, friends, family and people from every walk of life can take part. On Fridays from December there’s a barbecue from 6pm and the bar is open while you enjoy the sunset from the balconies. Phone Steve Rose on 0419 893 231 or email the club to ask about its Barefoot Bowls & Pizza deal. The combination of bowling greens, bar and new kitchen also makes the club the perfect venue for Christmas parties and corporate and social club functions. Just bring flat-soled shoes or bare feet and the club will provide everything else, including the bowls and people to teach you how to play. Ask now — you’ll be surprised how much fun everyone has!

Three years ago the club’s future looked bleak, with uncertainty about its tenure on prime beachfront land, declining membership, poor greens and weakening finances. Since then, it has been revitalised with innovative programs, community involvement and a new energy. Support from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has been invaluable, extending the club’s lease and ushering in needed repairs and renovations. Financial stability has been restored and led to improved greens, which are soon to be augmented by a new all-weather artificial surface, thus ensuring year-round availability for members and the community. Friday Barefoot Bowls is a cornerstone of the club during summer, when families enjoy relaxing with friends and the kids on the greens or enjoying a quiet drink and meal in the welcoming clubrooms.

THE BUSINESS

Learning will be a lot more fun for our youngest residents after the completion of much-needed work at the Waterfall Gully and Dromana preschools. Waterfall Gully recently underwent a major upgrade to increase opportunities for physical activity and social interaction and to provide more accessible and integrated spaces within the kinder. Access between the kitchen, outdoor play areas and bathroom was improved, storage and integrated facilities for each of the three and four-year-old areas was increased, new staff and student bathrooms were built, two movable benches were provided to increase the space for children’s cooking programs, and new wash basins were installed so the children can help set up their arts programs and clean up afterwards. Mayor Bryan Payne, who was joined at the preschool by Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors Antonella Celi, Frank Martin and Simon Brooks and Eastern Victoria state Labor MP Daniel Mulino, said the upgrade was an essential project for the council. “Waterfall Gully is the largest preschool on the Mornington Peninsula, servicing Rosebud and several neighbouring townships,” Cr

Payne said. The work was supported by a $283,000 State Government grant and $215,000 from the Shire. The group also visited Dromana Preschool to mark the start of work to expand and upgrade the building to allow the preschool service to grow from 22 to 33 children per session with the addition of a meeting room, new staff office, art sinks and children’s bathroom refurbishments. The service currently caters for one child with a physical disability and five children with intellectual needs who will benefit from the new and improved facilities for years to come. As part of these works, the Shire will also improve the play room, staff facilities, kinder accommodation and a new entrance foyer to link the maternal and child health centre and preschool together as a single facility. The upgrade is supported by two State Government grants totalling $225,000 and a $400,000 contribution from the Shire. The Shire will also provide an additional $27,500 towards the installation of solar power and security access control. For more information on these projects, visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/majorprojects

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 three-quarters 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. To come on board, email fc.vf7@coastguard.com.au

Consultant credits Mornington for global success

Lisa Stephenson has come a long way since moving to Mornington seven years ago. Lisa found herself suddenly single with fulltime custody of her three small children, so she set off in search of a sea change ready to start her next chapter.

“Since moving to the Peninsula I have built a global consulting business with a highly skilled team, established myself as a success coach and have a thriving private coaching practice. I am a regular on the speaking circuit and have recently had my first book published (Read Me First by Major Street Publishing),” said Lisa, the founder of the Australiabased global consulting firm Who Am I Projects. “I am so passionate about Peninsula life. It’s the sanctuary I always get to return to. It’s where my children are growing up with a strong sense of community and the most incredible lifestyle. I buy and create as much as I can from the Peninsula, and yet travel the world delivering services and experiences to some of the biggest global names. People can’t believe that I live in Mornington but work all over, from Napa, California, to Asia. Our team delivers high-impact programs for Telstra, NAB, Macquarie Bank,

I have been able to create the most amazing Mornington life for myself and my three children; I have renovated a home by the beach and we kayak all the time! Pizza and a glass of wine at T’Gallant on a Sunday afternoon is my version of awesome. Wandering around Farrell’s book store feeds my brain and soul. The Peninsula Hot Springs rejuvenates me every time. Juggling being a single mum and working full-time requires hard work and resilience, so I am grateful every day for being able to call the beautiful Mornington Peninsula home and for everything it has to offer.

health beauty fashion Late afternoon on Saturday, October 13, was the place to be for a First Nations poetry reading that can only be described as a life-changing moment in time. The crowd sat in awe as four Indigenous poets delivered breathtaking snapshots of history and emotion; words born from sorrow, love, connectivity and collective spirit in the magnificent McCulloch & McCulloch/ Whistlewood Gallery in Shoreham. The splendour of the natural backdrop couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go unnoticed, but the quality of the work written and read by awardwinning poets Ali Cobby Eckermann, Ryan Prehn, Monica Karo and Emily MunroHarrison was absolutely outstanding. The group of poets had just completed a seven-day creative development residency at Kalang Retreat in Somers. Drinks and nibbles were enjoyed before and after the readings on the gently sloping lawn with views towards Western Port Bay. Poetic indeed.

The metaphor… Imagine a fully-grown oak tree in a field with a big, thick trunk. Now imagine a bamboo tree in the next field, much thinner and wobbly. Without thinking, what’s your initial reaction when I ask which do you think is stronger? Quick! Majority of people believe the oak tree to be stronger, which is understandable — to look at it, it’s big and solid. But when a powerful wind sweeps across the fields, which do you think will be left standing? The oak tree has a relatively shallow root system which, when combined with a trunk that is rigid, will cause it to topple over and break down. The bamboo on the other hand has a relatively deep root system, and when combined with a flexible trunk will bend and adapt to its environment, remaining upright and in place. People are no different; we adopt a rigid thinking style or a flexible one. (FYI — when people say “I’m very strongminded” what they’re really saying is they are close-minded.) The knowledge… So what creates our mindset?

Continued from page 76 See more at dolphinresearch.org.au

Experiences and people don’t make you feel anything; it’s your mindset that determines how you feel. The people and events in your life are simply stimulus, which then causes a reaction. For most people, that reaction is to go into some form of what Buddhists call “suffering”, or an unhealthy emotion (anger, depression, anxiety or guilt) and they do so because of the following: I must be loved. I must be perfect. I must get what I want.

Take a moment and have a think about which ones of these you’re carrying around. Now have a think about what happens when these things don’t occur. How do you feel when somebody doesn’t like you? How do you feel when you make a mistake? How do you feel when you don’t get what you want? As a client put it the other day, “I have an adult tantrum!” when he doesn’t get what he wants. He feels hurt when somebody doesn’t like him and he feels like a failure when he makes mistakes. The power… The three statements above are beliefs, not facts. There is no evidence to support them — it’s not written anywhere that these things must happen; they are simply what people have come to believe should happen. It is your truth, not the truth. I attended a four-day course last week and the facilitator (who is a very wellrespected professor of psychology) started by telling us all in his broad American-Italian accent “You’re all incompetent … you’re all ignorant. And that’s OK!” And he was right — none of us knows anything, so we are in fact all ignorant. Looking around, I noted some of the other students took it personally, which I now realise was them being upset (reaction) to it being reflected (stimulus) that they weren’t perfect, they weren’t being told they were loved and they weren’t getting what they want: praise. If you have any feedback, thoughts or something you would like some advice on, please feel free to email hello@ myndfit.com.au and we will do our best to address it next issue. Thanks for reading!

After having her children, Monica, who has been a Chadwick’s model for 14 years, is the face of Pink Lady apples globally and the ambassador for active apparel label Jaggad, became a fulltime mobile personal trainer for clients such as Rebecca Judd and Jess Dempsey. Realising there was a gap in the market for mums who were time-poor like herself and women who didn’t have the resources to train at the gym or with a personal trainer,

she understood the notion of never having enough hours in the day to get everything done, let alone focus on health and exercise. Hence the founding of her ‘busy women’ health and fitness portable gym culture that delivers super easy, quick and convenient solutions to looking and feeling great from the inside out. The Fit Body Travel Pack is a transportable gym inside a lightweight compact bag designed to go anywhere at any

time — whether getting the daily jobs done, on the road with bub, in between corporate appointments or hopping on a plane to your interstate or international destination. Including a pair of sliders, one booty band, two short bands, one skipping rope and an easy-to-follow exercise guide, this fitness-first travel kit has all the equipment you need to work out anywhere whenever you have the time to do it. The lightweight bag fits snuggly in your nappy bag or business flight carry-on and delivers real-results fitness that transforms both body and mind. Easily! As part of this brilliant fitness concept, which offers sustainable fitness solutions for all time-poor mums, Monica has also partnered with the unparalleled Mornington Peninsula luxury hotel destination Jackalope Hotel in Merricks North to offer her Fit Body Travel Packs for guest use. Loaned to patrons for the duration of their stay along with an iPad featuring exclusive workout videos filmed on location with Monica, visitors can exercise comfortably in their own rooms at their own pace, or outside in Jackalope’s magnificent secluded grounds. Monica is a woman on the move. Her belief in advocating women’s strength and health through fresh food and exercise is life-enforcing, but her Fit Body Travel Pack is great for busy men too.

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 muchneeded 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.

Wake up and smell the peonies Spring is in the air, and so is the exquisite scent of flowering peonies at the Red Hill Peony Estate. It has been a big year for the Mornington Peninsula’s first commercial peony farm — it became the first and only Peony Society in Australia and you have the chance to become an Associate Member. It is entirely free to join and includes a 25% discount on your 2018 entrance fee and 10% off any of the peony workshops to be held during 2019. (Find the link on the Estate’s website.) This year’s Open Days will have a festival air, with marquees selling hot and cold food and drinks including homemade lemonade and the Estate’s magnificent gin and fruit-based cocktail. There will be bunches of peonies, potted peony plants, original oil paintings and prints of peonies by the Estate owner-Jillian Holmes-Smith, and an exciting selection of peony-related merchandise for sale. The Red Hill Peonies are still young and establishing; and as expected, they are producing significantly more flower buds than last year. You’ll be able to stroll through the Peony Paddock, where you will find 3,500 peony plants in various stages of development and bloom; stroll to the formally designed boxhedged Rose Garden and the open Parkland to see unusual tree plantings; the white Rugosa Rose Walk, the substantial Kitchen Gardens and fully espaliered Orchard; the Berry Garden; and then on to the Barn Garden, which is blooming superbly. For something very special, you may prefer a private and sumptuous picnic on your Open Day visit — go to “Private Estate Picnics” on the Estate’s website. Note that the Coolstore Shop located at the top of the Estate, will not be open on any of these six Open Days. However, the Shop will be open on weekends and week-days leading up to Christmas and New Year. (Check the website for exact dates later in the year.

IT’S the Hoodoos in Hastings BY KATE SEARS

Dave and the Hoodoos are performing in Hastings on Saturday, January 12, as part of the Under the Southern Stars summer festival, and boy, is he raring to go! “The tour sounded great and musically it will be a fun collection of artists,” said Dave. “The Mornington Peninsula is a beautiful area too, so you really can’t go

wrong. It was a no-brainer, as they say.” We just had to ask how such hits as My Girl, Bittersweet, What’s My Scene, Like Wow Wipeout, and The Right Time came about. He finds that raw ideas just float into his mind and he records them in voice memos to inspire his songwriting. However, the majority of his songs, including What’s My Scene, started as a simple melody. “The rhythm brought those words to life. I thought to myself, ‘What words suit those notes?’, and that’s what I believe the notes were saying. I know it sounds silly, but to me I heard those words in those notes, and then I asked myself ‘What do they mean?’.” It’s a catchy song that half wrote itself as Dave used it to search for his own identity and really ask himself “What am I doing?” Focusing on what words and concepts were important to him really made the song what it is. by Bruce Baker

Dave Faulkner knows that everyone has their own significant story that they associate with his songs. For the Hoodoo Gurus co-founder, lead singer, guitarist and songwriter, it’s an honour to be a part of so many people’s memories.

Dave is strong believer in doing what interests him. He’s still writing songs yet hasn’t recorded in a while because he’s got some projects happening under the radar. His role as chief music critic at a newspaper in Sydney has kept him out of mischief for more than four years. It’s a turn he never expected but he is in his element. Promising to perform a set-list to please everyone, Dave says the Hoodoo Gurus plan to play the older classics. Their biggest hits will be included to nurture new fans, and a few less travelled songs will be thrown in for the diehard fans. Whether they are performing to 10 or 10,000 people, the band just want their audience to have an amazing time and feel that they are the best crowd the Hoodoos have ever played for. “That’s why we do it. It’s not about the ego; we just make sure that the songs sound right and that we put our best foot forward. That’s who we are.”

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 beer-lovers for the attempt, and Dan

Named after a coastal town in the boot-shaped country, it’s only appropriate that Sorrento has an eatery that combines contemporary Italian cuisine with influences from its own waterfront location. Enter Itali.co. The iconic restaurant is operated by the Guida family, with 40 years’ experience infusing traditional and modern approaches to the Italian cuisine. Situated on the stunning Sorrento esplanade, Itali.co has become an integral part of the tight-knit community – and a quick glance at the menu will show you why. Issue 84, NOVEMBER 2018

An authentic pizzeria at heart, Itali.co fuses the modern with the traditional to offer an innovative selection that will please even the fussiest foodie. Indulge in an old favourite – like the margherita with Italian tomato salsa, fior di latte, and a splash of olive oil – or sample an inspired creation featuring luxury ingredients like truffle cream, prosciutto and zest-infused mascarpone. Pasta plates include the delectable linguine frutti di mare, a dish stuffed with tiger prawns, scallops, white market fish and clams. Plus, all meals are served by a friendly team of international and local staff who think of themselves as a family and invite you to be a part of it. Things are slower in Sorrento. Here, the gentle waves of Port Phillip Bay kiss the pristine shoreline, yachts bob leisurely in the water, and seagulls dream of pinching a bite of the delicious delicacies at Itali.co!

FOOD WINE PRODUCE

Industry shines spotlight on Peninsula pinot The Mornington Peninsula region is home to 200 small-scale vineyards and more than 50 cellar doors where visitors to the region explore, taste and connect with the growers and winemakers who revel in our maritime climate. The Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association is the industry association for the winemakers and grape-growers of the Peninsula wine region.

Mornington Peninsula Magazine

talks to Willow Creek winemaker and MPVA president Geraldine McFaul about Pinot Celebration Australia, a biennial event running from February 8-9, 2019.

What is the Pinot Celebration Australia weekend? Pinot Celebration Australia brings together winemakers and growers from the Mornington Peninsula and all over Australia as well as some international producers for two days of tasting, talking and celebrating pinot noir with select media, trade guests and pinot-lovers from the general public. It brings a special focus on this endlessly fascinating variety that remains a holy grail for producers

and consumers alike. Give us a snapshot of what the weekend entails. The weekend includes tastings in a masterclass format, keynote speakers to tell the history of pinot noir in Australia and internationally, breakout sessions with a variety of technical/cultural aspects of enjoying pinot noir, casual walk-around tasting and lunches and dinners featuring local wines and showcasing wonderful produce from the Mornington Peninsula. Who will be there? There will be around 30 Mornington Peninsula producers attending and showcasing their wine and engaging with all our 200 delegates to share our passion for pinot noir. What role will the sommeliers and wine writers play over the two days? We are lucky to have some amazing industry professionals who will bring a different perspective to the discussion by talking about how pinot noir fits with food and life to complement the viticultural and winemaking aspects. Does the event only focus on local pinot noir? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be exploring pinot noir in Australia, from its history and development to tasting more than 50 of the very best. We also have a burgundy masterclass with Thibault Liger-Belair of Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair on the program. Regional specialities of chardonnay and pinot gris and some of our fragrant and spicy cool-climate shiraz may appear. How long has the event been running? The biennial Pinot Celebration commenced in 2003 as

a way of introducing and benchmarking our wines with the pinot stars of Australia and the world. Some MPVA members had attended similar events in Oregon and New Zealand and we saw the opportunity to increase our own knowledge and share what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learnt with pinot fans.

Geraldine McFaul photo by Rhiannon Taylor Please describe the venue. The new RACV Cape Schanck Resort is just spectacular — I’d encourage everyone to take a drive to Cape Schanck and check it out. It will be the perfect home for the Celebration, and a few of the Mornington Peninsula winemakers are planning to stay overnight and give the new rooms a try. We don’t want guests to be worrying about what is or isn’t included, so tickets include everything from tastings and discussions through to lunch, dinner and transfers between events. You can also include accommodation at the resort with your ticket. What makes our soil and climate so good for producing such stellar grapes? The cool climate aspects of our latitude combined with the maritime environment of the bays and Bass Strait produces the moderating, frost-free conditions that allow us to grow early-ripening varieties such as pinot noir and chardonnay. The undulating countryside and differing soils, from the red soils of the slopes to more free-draining sandy loams closer to the water, provide unique growing conditions for each site, and a resulting unique expression of pinot noir.

A Mornington Peninsula hotel has been voted one of the top 10 in Australia and New Zealand in the Condé Nast Traveler’s 2018 Readers’ Choice Awards. Lindenderry at Red Hill took out ninth place in the 31st annual awards after its relaunch last January on the heels of a multi-million-dollar refurbishment. Set on 34ha of gardens and vineyards, Lindenderry features a five-star Halliday Winery, Lindenderry Wine, and a celebrated restaurant that includes regional produce on the menu. All 40 rooms and four communal spaces have been

designed by awarding-winning design studio Hecker Guthrie. Described as the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry, the Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards this year received nearly half a million submissions from readers and tens of thousands of comments. Readers rated their travel experiences to provide a full snapshot of where and how we travel today. Lindenderry at Red Hill was one of three Lancemore Group hotels to figure in the Australia/New Zealand section of the awards. Mansion Hotel & Spa at Werribee

Park was voted eighth best with Larmont Sydney at No.12. Lancemore Group CEO Julian Clark said it was an honour to see any Lancemore hotel feature in the awards. “However, with only 15 hotels voted in from our region, having three Lancemore hotels make the list is a real thrill. “It really is our staff that make the difference between good and outstanding, so this win is a credit to our teams who go over and above to deliver such a memorable guest experience,” Julian said. “We may not be the biggest hotel group in Australia, but as a family business we take great pride in what we do and always strive to be the best.”

Someone special has moved to Sorrento and brought the taste of Sardinia with them. Melbourne’s Pomodoro Sardo is now on Ocean Beach Rd under the banner of Sardo and the word is that authentic Italian flavours created by passionate producers of extraordinary dishes are delivering much more than simply delicious food. Stefano Rassu and his wife Nika have landed on the shores of Port Phillip Bay and are thrilled to be immersed in the lovely lifestyle that Sorrento village brings. Known for his passion for life and simple, healthy and ‘happy’ food, Stefano’s enthusiasm jumps and swirls around you when you talk about his love of produce and cooking. He explains. “We have already moved and we love it here. Nika and I were initially looking for a site in Mornington to open another restaurant but something happened. We ended up here instead and couldn’t be happier. The locals really understand food and wine and have been so welcoming. Sorrento has beautiful people. The scenery is amazing. The local produce is fantastic. I love it.” Stefano is an award-winning chef renowned for using traditional techniques to turn simple foods into dishes of extraordinary flavour. Now Peninsula people and their out-of-towner friends can experience this seasonal and organic-based cooking that delivers history and generational connection on a plate. Stefano continues. “Our food is meant to be shared by family and friends. Nika does most of the cooking now. She comes into the kitchen in the early hours of the morning when it is tranquil and creates. Everything is made from scratch — the sauces, the pasta, desserts. Consistency is vital. She prepares everything so our patrons can rely on the flavours. Every dish is made for the love of it. We are meticulous.” Here is what to expect when you step inside this splendido seaside restaurant, which represents the wholesome sensibility of Sardinia. Hand-made linguine, ravioli and ricotta gnocchi. Fish stew, goat and eye fillet. All brought to you with the delicate understanding of discerning flavour combinations. “It’s funny, you know — when I first came to Australia 13 years ago, my friend picked me up from the airport and brought me to Sorrento. They brought me here, to Sardo! Of course, it was then called Aquolina. Unbelievable, yes? We have come full circle. It was meant to be.” Sì?

All roads lead to Jetty Road BY JONATHAN PRITCHARD

Shaped by a life alongside the ocean, our roots on the Mornington Peninsula keep us grounded in a sense of community and passionate about local produce and vitality.

opportunity to brew great tasting beer, to bring people together and to celebrate the spirit of the coast where the good life grows. At Jetty Road we are pumped for summer,

Our story began years ago — on a quiet coastal road not far from where we are now — with nothing but a desire to create quality beer, a taste for adventure and a healthy appreciation of the good life. What was once a backyard brewery where friends and family would gather to share our latest creations grew into a business where our passion and pleasure collided. And what a pleasure it is — the

and to celebrate we will now also be opening our doors every Wednesday from 4pm. As of November 14, we will be offering you our “Fresh From the Jetty” seafood nights.

The latest addition to our opening hours has been brought about by the community; an open ear has generated the calling for another great meal to be served with some of the finest beers created by Jetty Road. Naturally the full menu is still available but you will be tempted by the generous prawns, oysters and of course the freshest fish around each week. Thursday steak nights have already captured the locals’ hearts, and being coastal it is only fitting that we showcase some of the finest freshly caught fish from the bountiful seas around. We look forward to welcoming you down to the Jetty Road soon! JETTY ROAD BREWERY A: 12-14 Brasser Ave, Dromana T: 5987 2754 W: jettyroad.com.au FB: jettyroadbrewery INSTA: jettyroadbrewery

Everything we love about the peninsula, fresh every month

A Mornington Peninsula chef’s stunning interpretation of a Robert Smithson sculpture has taken out the 2018 Best Ōra King Dish Australia Award. Michael Demagistris, the executive chef of Polperro Winery Restaurant in Red Hill, received the honour ahead of 62 Australian chefs at the sixth annual awards ceremony in Nelson, New Zealand, last month. In line with this year’s theme Inspired by Art, Michael’s winning dish was an edible illustration of Smithson’s Spiral Jetty on the shore of Utah’s Great Salt Lake. The dish featured a cannelloni of Ōra King salmon with Red Hill truffle, finger lime, smoked caviar, bisque and burnt hay. “As I began to research Spiral Jetty, I was drawn to the pink colour of the Great

Salt Lake and the shape of the artwork,” Michael said. “I have used elements in this dish to bring the saltiness forward, including Himalayan pink salt, sea water and roasted nori enhanced using liquid nitrogen to deliver a fresh salty scent.” The artwork’s distinctive spiral shape also inspired the plating of Michael’s winning dish, which he said was layered with multi-sensory flavours, textures and smells. The Australia award was judged by Sydney-based chef and restaurateur Justin North, who said Michael took the competition to the next level with the earth and land connection, which expressed the chef’s own environment using indigenous herbs foraged on the Peninsula. “The dish is very clever and visually stunning,” Justin said. “The amount of work, thought, skill and love that went into it is simply outstanding and he deserves the recognition for creating such a wonderful, edible piece of art.” The Ōra King Awards recognise the outstanding creations of chefs around the world who work with Ōra King salmon. This year’s awards attracted 185 entries globally and also included Best Dish categories for New Zealand, North American and Japanese chefs.

Jeff Young - St Andrews Beach Brewery, 160 Sandy Rd, Fingal you? What local produce do you like to work with? We are lucky enough to have our own vegetable garden that features heirloom produce. We also try to source as much local produce as possible for both our kitchen and bar. For example, we only have locally sourced wines and cider available at the bar. Is there something for all tastes or dietary requirements at St Andrews Beach Brewery? Yes, our menu has something to offer for everyone. We have salads and pizzas available for vegetarians/vegans and we have chicken, wagyu, fish and pork burgers for the meat-lovers.

Is every dish you create inspired by St Andrews Beach Brewery beer, or does the food inspire beer production? Do you match your dishes with the flavours of the beer? We believe our beer enhances the dishes on our menu. We use our beer in a number of our dishes, including the pizza dough, lager-battered fish and our ale-braised beef cheeks. How would you describe your menu to someone who has never been to St Andrews Beach Brewery? We like to describe our menu as a relaxed grazing menu. It consists of small plates, share plates, healthy share salads, burgers and a variety of handmade pizzas. Does the amazing natural beauty of the region inspire

through our beers. Our Golden Ale is known as Box 54, which was the former box of three-time Melbourne Cup winner Makybe Diva. And finally, how do you spend your downtime? I like to spend time with my wife and family on my days off.

How long have you been a chef and where did your career begin? I started my career 30 years ago in Auckland, New Zealand. Since then I have been lucky enough to work in a number of great restaurants across the world, including the United States, UK and Hong Kong. I have been based in Melbourne for 20 years and worked at the Pantry Brighton. What’s your favourite way of eating? My favourite way of eating is family-style — large platters of food where everyone can dig in. St Andrews Beach Brewery’s site has deep connections with the racing fraternity. Does your menu reflect this in any way? We don’t have anything horse-related on the menu! We do, however, pay homage to the history of our property

As the mercury begins to rise around the Peninsula, spring air and sunshine brings a certain bubbly delight that is so perfect for sparkling wines. This aura conveniently times with event season — racing carnivals, summer parties, gifting and everything that rolls into Christmas. Here are three great bubblies to get you swinging and in the mood — two local and one very fine import.

Named after the owner’s daughter, Nina, this single vineyard of exceptional quality has wonderful complexity that is delicious straight from the Esky or in more refined appearances. This means it has the liveliness to work as an aperitif but can equally handle pairing with entrées such as white fish or shellfish.

Circe 2012 Blanc de Blancs Single Vineyard Red Hill $60 Made by local boys Dan Buckle and Aaron Drummond, who have moved into iconic roles at Domaine Chandon and Craggy Range respectively, it’s 100 per cent chardonnay and a tiny production. It has been aged four years so it’s complex, lively and for the serious sparkling-lover.

For your international wine of mystery, this is a great value choice instead of Champagne and Prosecco. This delicious French method crémant (pronounced “crae-mont”) is getting more recognition every year. With very fine bubbles and green apple, acacia and white peach nose, it is pure class and will certainly add to the moment of spring celebrations.

OUTDOOR COLLECTION Australians love being outdoors, but we don’t need to jump on a plane to feel the wind on our face or the sun on our back. We can just step into our own backyards to enjoy what nature has to offer. Our backyards needn’t be big or picture perfect but they do need to be an inviting place that suits our lifestyle and our own outdoor oasis.

With these longer sunny days we are seeing substantial growth in our edible gardens, and keeping up with it all can be overwhelming for some. However, if you plan well for the season and understand how the cycles work in your own garden, you can prepare and stay on top of the maintenance of your food crops. The important things to keep in mind over this warm period are maintaining soil moisture, watching out for pests and diseases and consistently harvesting your crops. If your soil has been prepared adequately prior to summer planting with plenty of nutrient and organic matter, a lack of soil moisture is really the main issue that may impede strong growth and healthy crops during these warmer months. A well-functioning drip irrigation system covered with a thick layer of mulch is going to make maintaining moisture in your soil easy. As well as attending to your soils, make sure you keep a regular eye on pests and diseases over the season. I

of which plants are producing and when. This will help in subsequent seasons. Regular harvesting will encourage your plants to continue to produce, in most cases, and prevent rotting vegies attracting flies and bugs. You may also end up with dry, split or oversized vegetables if you leave them too long. Nibble as you wander to check how they are going. The best way to stay on top of these things is to ramble through the garden two or three times a week sticking your fingers into the soil, checking for bites and bugs, and filling your harvest basket with goodies. It’s all part of enjoying an edible garden.

recommend casting an observant eye over your crops at least two to three times a week to see if there are any little crawlers or fungal issues. A few bugs in the garden are fine and a little damage is nothing to worry about; so long as you catch them before any serious infestation takes hold you will be right. Failure to keep up with harvesting your fruit and vegies can lead to all sorts of problems, so be sure to keep track

Promoting a cleaner, greener peninsula by Liz Rogers

Meals on Wheels says no to plastic bag delivery Guess what? Meal on Wheels delivers 74,000 meals across the Mornington Peninsula each year to 450 recipients and is now delivering them in paper and reusable bags! The Shire has been delivering meals since opening its kitchen in 1978 and it is now following the lead of many other large organisations that have decided to opt for more environmentally conscious alternatives. Meals on Wheels full-time first cook Scott Anderson explains. “We’ve always been conscious of recycling waste. We have separate bins and wash all our containers before disposing of them and have worked towards the (Mornington Peninsula) Shire’s goal to reduce waste. There’s very little green waste as our locally sourced produce is mostly pre-peeled but we have been thinking about setting up a composting

facility too. All frozen deliveries are now in paper bags, while the chilled meals are delivered in reusable non-woven polyurethane bags that the clients keep and clean. It takes a bit of time for people to get used to change, but the response has been overwhelmingly positive.” Working within strict food delivery guidelines means Meals on Wheels must package all meals in containers, but it has done something about that too! All meals used to be delivered in aluminium containers inside a plastic bag but are now delivered in biodegradable recyclable plastic containers. Scott continues. “Our team leader, Ian Lobb, was a driving force behind the change to paper and reusable bag delivery. Our clientele is predominantly more senior and have been great at giving us feedback about the program.” If you’d like to help delivering meals to people in need or would like to be assessed for Meals on Wheels, contact the Shire at customerservice@mornpen.vic.gov. au or call 1300 850 600 to find out more.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Meals on Wheels volunteers Graeme Kirkham and Hilary Carne are ready to deliver meals in the new reusable bags.
