Not necessarily a Shaw thingBY ALECIA PINNER

FRANKSTON MP Geoff Shaw’s decision tobecome an independent received widespreadcredit in the media last week for spoils won bythe city in the state budget.

In reality, the South East Water headquartersin Frankston was going ahead long beforeMr Shaw resigned from the Liberal Party, acontribution to desilt Kananook Creek waspromised before the 2010 election and shoringup voters living in several electorates along thebusy train line was sure to be high on theagenda.

The man of the hour agreed the budgetresult would have been the same for Frankstonif he had remained a member of the LiberalParty.

‘‘My advocacy is probably greater because Ihaven’t got certain constraints but the resultswould have been the same,’’ Mr Shaw, whonow holds the deciding vote in the lowerhouse, told the Weekly.

‘‘It’s not me being an independent. It’s mebeing an advocate for Frankston. Of all the

central activities areas, Frankston was the onethat was most neglected and let down byLabor. [Planning Minister] Matthew Guy is abig fan of Frankston.’’

Mr Shaw said he was happy to see $8.1 mil-lion delivered to Mt Erin Secondary Collegefor two new learning centres.

‘‘How good is that? Two of my electionpromises have been fulfilled. It is a substantialinvestment into Frankston.’’

Mr Shaw reacted in more of an ‘I told youso’ manner to budget confirmation his 2010election promise of $2.5 million to desilt andestablish boat moorings in Kananook Creekwould go ahead.

‘‘Those whingers and whiners are going tohave Kananook Creek mud on their faces.Hopefully, the minority of conspiracy theoristswill shut up now because it is going to happenthis year.

‘‘We contacted the Kananook Creek Associ-ation and they’re rapt. Trevor Nock, the newpresident, worked productively with the work-ing group.’’

Mr Shaw said state treasurer Michael

O’Brien would send him specific details about$13.8 million to be spent on the Frankstonrailway station precinct and the $100 millionallocated to the whole of the Frankston line forupgrades, including new trains and tracks (seepage 7).

Earlier last week Mr Shaw told the Weeklyhe hoped the money would include bus sheltersand other upgrades in the Young Street trainstation precinct.

The state budget also revealed that theCarrum Downs police station would extend itsopening hours to provide extra policing ser-vices in Langwarrin and minor capital workswould go ahead at Quiet Lakes, PattersonLakes.

Cranbourne Labor MP Jude Perera, whoseelectorate covers Frankston North, said thebudget had failed to repair the damage causedby two years of cuts to the health system.

“The sad fact is, due to 21⁄2 years of healthbudget cuts, by June this year, there will be1856 patients waiting for surgery at FrankstonHospital, an increase of 12.8 per cent in thelast 12 months.”

Re: Budget ‘bonanza’ a Shaw thingNew toilets for protective services officers? Whatabout toilets for passengers first? This $100 millionwill be wasted on the Frankston line and my trainwill still be late every day. I’ll still have to stand on acold platform, bake on an overheated train inwinter and swelter in summer, put up with dirt andfilth in the carriages, run the gauntlet of drugdealers and other undesirables on the train, and onit goes. Nothing will change.

The folly of a bigger portThe health and beauty of Western Port is obviouslyof no concern to the state government and theirfriends in big business who stand to profit enorm-

ously from the port expansion. To them our bay isjust the ‘poor relation’ with lots of nasty mangrovesand mudflats. Previous port expansion has alwaysbeen canned on environmental grounds. Any toxicspill would be virtually impossible to clean up dueto the extreme tidal nature of Western Port.

Even though there is a good deepwater channel,massive dredging will still be needed for a projectthis size. With the volume of expected ships it is justa matter of when, not if, one runs aground.

The science hasn’t changed, the clean-up techno-logy hasn’t improved, so what’s different this time?Why the law, of course! The government has passedlegislation so that it no longer needs to answer tothe public for wrecking our bay.

The trade-off is local jobs. What these will be, thepowers seem unable to specify. Construction? Asanybody in the construction industry will tell you,they use their existing labour force on projects.Ports are remote-controlled nowadays.Why would they build anything else? Not manyjobs there. The distribution centres will apparentlybe in Dandenong. So jobs for Dandenong, pollu-tion and heavy truck traffic for Hastings and sur-rounds.

Link risk claim deniedBY ALECIA PINNER

Interesting timing: Workers at the Peninsula Link bridge in Carrum Downs last Thursdaysoon after contractor Chris James said a panel had come loose.

A PENINSULA Link contractor saysmotorists using four busy arterialroads in Carrum Downs and Frank-ston are at risk from falling metaloverpass panels and stormwaterdrains.

Chris James, managing director ofTotal Building Construction, was theAbigroup contractor in charge ofbuilding and installing a series ofheavy decorative panels on overpassesfor the Peninsula Link project.

Mr James claimed locking nuts weremissing from stormwater drain brack-ets on the bridge at the major inter-change at the beginning of PeninsulaLink in Carrum Downs, puttingmotorists travelling on EastLink,the EastLink off ramp from PeninsulaLink, Rutherford Road andFrankston-Dandenong Road indanger.

Last Thursday, Mr James told aradio station a panel under the bridgehad come loose. ‘‘Then I got in the carand there was a full-on road closure at

the bridge and they were up there bolt-ing the panel back on today [Thurs-day]. It was denied by [road operatorSouthern Way general manager] DavidClements 40 minutes earlier,’’ MrJames said. He alleged on Thursdaythat bolts were also still missing fromboth sides of the Willow Road pedes-trian bridge across Peninsula Linknear the Cranbourne Road inter-change, which he claimed meant thepanels weren’t properly secured.

Mr James, who said Abigroup owedhim $1.5 million for work and materi-als completed for Peninsula Link, toldthe Weekly he was inspired to go pub-lic after receiving a letter from theBuilding Commission after theGrocon wall accident in Melbourne.

The letter asked contractors whoknew of potential hazards to the pub-lic on construction jobs to contact thecommission, which Mr James said hehad previously done.

He blamed the situation on a needto get the job finished so the roadcould open in January.

Mr James said he had informed the

Building Commission, WorkSafe,Frankston MP Geoff Shaw and Trans-port Minister Terry Mulder about hisconcerns on the safety of the panelsand his workers.

Linking Melbourne spokeswomanGemma Boucher said all bridges wereinspected and signed off by an inde-pendent reviewer before the freewayopened. “While this is entirely amatter between Abigroup and its sub-contractor, we have investigated theseclaims and we are confident there areno safety risks to motorists or work-ers,’’ she said.

‘‘WorkSafe has also been informedof these allegations and has beenprovided with relevant documentationdemonstrating the safety of the boltsand panels.”

Mr Clements said Southern Wayinspected the Willow Road Bridgewith WorkSafe last Friday morning.

“We are confident there is no risk tomotorists or members of the publicfrom any bridge or cladding panel.Two previous inspections of theWillow Road Bridge have confirmed

that the panels are securely bolted tothe bridge and the bridge is safe.

‘‘The panels are fastened to agalvanised steel frame that is bolted tothe concrete beam of the bridge. Noempty bolt holes were identified dur-ing the inspections. All bridge struc-tures will be inspected every sixmonths.’’

Last Thursday a WorkSafe spokes-man said: ‘‘WorkSafe last visited the

bridge on May 8 and asked Abigroup,the principal contractor of the freewayproject, to conduct a safety check onthe panelling attachments. Abigroupconducted an inspection yesterday(May 9) and confirmed to WorkSafethat the panelling and attachmentswere sound and appropriately fitted.’’

Abigroup did not respond to theWeekly’s requests for comment beforedeadline.

State cash a win forFrankston rail usersBY ALECIA PINNER

THE Frankston rail line will receive $100 millionfor new trains, tracks, signals maintenance facil-ities and station amenities, with an additional$13.8 million to be spent to upgrade the stationprecinct.

Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder andPremier Denis Napthine visited Bentleigh stationlast week to announce that $100 million wouldbe delivered as part of the state budget.

New X’Trapolis trains have been used only onthe Alamein, Glen Waverley, Belgrave, Lilydale,Hurstbridge and South Morang lines because theposition of the driver in the cab has preventedproper sight of some signals.

“This $100 million will mean the Frankstonline will also be able to accommodate theX’Trapolis trains, giving passengers the fastest,most reliable and most comfortable commute toand from the city,” Dr Napthine said.

“Frankston line passengers will also benefitfrom improvements to station lighting, theinstallation of extra CCTV cameras, the exten-

sion of station platform canopies to providemore weather protection, additional myki read-ers and disability access improvements.’’

Frankston MP Geoff Shaw said: ‘‘Frankston isa long line, so I am waiting to see the finer details.Is it for trains, buses, lighting, signs or footpaths?The line is 40 kilometres long and there are 18 orso train stations or stops so I really don’t knowwhere that money is going. I’d be thinking weshould get a fair slice.’’

Mr Shaw said the $13.8 million Frankstonrailway station upgrade would dramaticallyimprove the railway precinct with new lighting,train signalling, bus shelters and the streetscapewith artwork, improved signage and facilities.

Both cash injections represented the biggestinvestment in decades to Frankston’s local trans-port infrastructure, he said.

In 2010 the Liberal Party won seats along theFrankston line, from the city to the Yarra River.Labor lost seats in Frankston, Carrum, Mordial-loc and Bentleigh. At the time the line was one ofthe worst performing in the region and gave theLiberals an easy campaign issue to exploit.

Not long now: A concept design drawing of one of the buildings to be erected at Mt Erin Secondary College.

College expansion starts soonBY ALECIA PINNER

THE wait is almost over for students and teach-ers at Mt Erin Secondary College, with work ontwo learning centres expected to start in twomonths.

The Frankston school last week received con-firmation it had been allocated $8.1 million inthe state budget for two design, arts, science andtechnology buildings.

Principal Karen Lee said the buildings hadbeen almost two years in the making.

‘‘It is absolutely fantastic. To start with itlooked as though we’d missed out so we arethrilled. I called a school assembly and everyonebroke into full applause,’’ Ms Lee said. ‘‘It is areally exciting state-of-the-art building with flex-ible learning spaces and removable walls to allowclasses to flow.’’

Ms Lee said feedback from the school com-munity last week had been overwhelming.

‘‘Quite coincidentally we held our year 7 nightto reflect on the first term and it was the biggestturn out of parents we have ever seen. Everyonewas so happy.’’

She said school leavers were disappointed theywouldn’t reap the benefits of the new buildings.

‘‘We’ve decided we’ll need to have an alumninight.’’

Ms Lee will meet architects and the educationdepartment this week to get a timeline for whenthe building will be completed. ‘‘I think the elec-tion promise was to get it finished by the nextelection, so that would be amazing.

‘‘It is a long time since money has been spent inour school. [Frankston MP] Geoff Shaw has beenfantastic, he has kept pushing for this onour behalf.’’

Mr Shaw congratulated college staff.“I commend Mrs Karen Lee who, with her

team of staff, have worked with the departmentof education over the past months, to developplans for the college to establish a state-of-the-artlearning centre for design, arts, technology andscience, and a second learning centre for sport,performing arts and hospitality.

‘‘A project the size that Mrs Lee and her teamare willing to undertake over the next 18 monthswill see major benefits flow on to students.’’

Top wines up forshow awardsVIGNERONS are gearing up for the annualInternational Cool Climate Wine Show inMornington.

Organisers are hoping for another closelycontested event from the 590 entries.

Wine show chairwoman Liz Dart said it wasgood to see so many entries, despite a difficult2011 season.

Entries from New Zealand were up consider-ably on previous years, showing they are strongcontenders.

New Zealand entries made up 20 per cent ofwine show entries, with Mornington Peninsulaand Tasmanian wineries making up a further 20per cent each.

Judging for the wine show will be held onTuesday-Wednesday, May 28-29 at Morning-ton Racing Club.

As part of the event, there will be a publictasting, an awards dinner, and a tutored tradetasting at Southbank in Melbourne forsommeliers and wine distributors.

Highway spottrap for walkersBY ALECIA PINNER

THE Nepean Highway and DaveyStreet junction in Frankston is theeighth most dangerous intersectionin Victoria for pedestrians.

Data released last week by Vic-Roads shows there were eight casu-alty crashes, with pedestriansrequiring hospitalisation and oneserious injury at the intersection inthe five years to 2012.

Frankston highway patrol roadpolicing analyst Leading Senior Con-stable Ross Randall said given theintersection’s motor vehicle collisionhistory, it had been monitored close-ly by police for the past six to eightyears. Safety there had improveddramatically since three injury colli-sions involving pedestrians in 2009,he said.

‘‘We don’t have any significanttrend of collisions including alcohol-

affected pedestrians at that intersec-tion. A number of years ago we hadcomplaints of a small number ofcollisions with vehicles failing to giveway pedestrians.

‘‘A joint co-operation with police,council and VicRoads saw theinstallation of flashing LED signswarning drivers of pedestrians cross-ing at this intersection. Most of thecollisions were occurring in daylighthours, more predominantly duringpeak hour times.’’

VicRoads executive director ofpolicy and programs James Holgatesaid the alarming number of pedes-trian casualties in Victoria continuedto raise concern for VicRoads,police, the Transport Accident Com-mission and Department of Justice.

“By listing the black spots we hopeto remind pedestrians of their vulner-ability and to take extra care whencrossing the road,” he said.

Wheels in motion: Officials gather for the launch of PenBus last week.

Students gettransport helpTERTIARY students in Frankston andon the Mornington Peninsula have anew way of getting to class.

A PenBus service has been set up bythe Mornington Peninsula Shire inconjunction with Ventura Bus Lines.

There will be two routes — fromHastings to Chisholm Institute inRosebud, via Mornington and fromRosebud to Monash University inClayton, via Frankston.

Shire mayor Lynn Bowden said thetwo services would make travelling totertiary education, training andemployment opportunities easier.

“PenBus services have been sched-uled to ensure morning passengersarrive at their destination in time forstandard business and campus open-ing hours.”

Cr Bowden said PenBus also gavepassengers working or studying out-

side the region a convenient connec-tion to Hastings and Frankstonrailway stations.

“This gives travellers immediateaccess to the Cranbourne, Pakenham,Frankston and Stony Point lines, aswell as a number of other metropol-itan bus services.’’

Residents of Frankston and the pen-insula can apply for free access toPenBus services if they are a full-time,or part-time tertiary student, formallyenrolled in study, a registered appren-tice or trainee or a jobseeker.

Statue honour for ‘Fammo’

Honouring a hero: Rob McCarthy, Johnny Famechon, Geoff Shaw, GaryLuscombe, Brett McCormack and Arnold Thomas at Ballam Park.

WORLD-famous former boxerand Frankston resident JohnnyFamechon could soon be hon-oured with a life-sized bronzestatue in his home town.

Famechon, who is bestremembered for his title fightswith Fighting Harada of Japan,moved to Frankston in 1970where he lives with his wifeGlenys.

He is still actively involved withthe community, including helpingpolice run the Frankston BlueLight Boxing Club for youngpeople.

A small group of local Fame-chon fans have been campaigningto have the statue erected inFrankston, possibly at BallamPark.

The Johnny Famechon StatueCommittee, which includes Frank-ston MP Geoff Shaw, has teamedup with the Australian NationalBoxing Hall of Fame to raise$180,000 to build the statue.

Hall of Fame president Brett

McCormick last week travelled toBallam Park to meet the French-born boxer and committee mem-bers Rob McCarthy, Gary Lus-combe, Arnold Thomas and MrShaw to discuss the project.

The committee is aiming to raisethe money over the next 12months by selling small replicastatues and plaques to be dis-played at the base of the statue andis planning a fund-raising dinner.

In his prime, Famechon over-came Les Dunn to become Vic-torian featherweight champion in1964, then defeated Scotland’sJohnny O’Brien in 1967 tobecome Commonwealth feather-weight champion.

Famechon then became feather-weight world champion in 1969after defeating Cuban Jose Legraat the Albert Hall in London. Hethen defended his crown againstFighting Harada of Japan, defeat-ing his famous rival again sixmonths later.

He was inducted into the World

Boxing Hall of Fame in Los An-geles in 1997. Famechon wasstruck by a car in Sydney in 1991when he was in the city supportingLionel Rose at a book launch.

Despite being told by doctors hewas likely spend the rest of his lifein a wheelchair, a determined MrFamechon is now getting aroundwith a walking frame.

Life stories learnt in friendly chatter

Meaningful chat: A paramedic student forms a bond with a Patterson Lakes Village resident.

BY SAMANTHA ROBIN ‘Not only did it help develop myskills in building rapport, but Iwas able to talk to some trulyamazing people who I wouldnot normally have theopportunity to talk to.’

— Jessica Bertucci

MONASH University paramedic students haveimproved their communications skills bychatting with members of the older generation.

The second-year students from the university’speninsula campus were paired with elderlyresidents from Patterson Lakes Village forone-on-one conversation time at a recent work-shop.

Students had the opportunity to chat to manyof the residents on a rotational basis and alsoshared a meal with them.

They started by asking the residents abouttheir medical history but soon became involvedin their life stories.

One of the students, Jessica Bertucci, said itwas a worthwhile addition to their training.

“Being part of this project was an extremelyrewarding experience.

‘‘Not only did it help develop my skills inbuilding rapport, I was able to talk to some trulyamazing people who I would not normally havethe opportunity to talk to.”

Carrum MP Donna Bauer said it was great tosee the residents interacting with the students.

“It was obvious they were enjoying the interac-tion,” she said.

Patterson Lakes Village resident Jock Purvispraised the project. “It gave us a great insight andconfidence in the paramedic system.

‘‘The students were keen, enthusiastic andarticulate future paramedics.”

Project organiser Linda Ross hopes to expandthe project next year to include participants froma more diverse range of backgrounds, includingthose with mental illness, drug and alcoholaddiction, different cultural backgrounds anddisabilities.

“It is imperative that paramedics are able tocommunicate compassionately and effectivelywith a wide range of people with varying back-ground and needs, in order to provide the bestpatient care possible.”


FEATURESTORY

Hangin’ tough, still hopingSome youngsters areturning their backs onschool and switching offfrom society as early asprimary school. ALECIAPINNER learns what’sbeing done in Frankstonand on the peninsula togive disengaged youths afresh focus.

Re-engaged youth: Craig (foreground), Chaigen, Travis and Anton (left to right) say there’s opportunities for young people in Frankstonand on the Mornington Peninsula to get ahead. Picture: Daryl Gordon

‘Kids are coming up to theclub for food. I love talkingto them. It’s a shame wecan’t count how manyhomeless kids are on thepeninsula — they disappearand reappear.’ — Nick Burbounis

They’re a lost generation.Mission Australia estimates closeto 70 primary school-aged

children in Frankston and almost80 on the Mornington Peninsula havedropped out of school.

Often, entire families have becomedisconnected from the educationsystem and society as children fail tocope with traditional schools orsimply don’t want to be there.

As struggling youths reach theirteens, and then pass into young adult-hood, unemployment, crime, home-lessness and family breakdown canstop them reaching their potential.

But innovative new education andsocialisation methods being trialledwith young children at risk andstruggling teens and young adults ishelping them turn their lives around.

In Rosebud West, Fight 4 Life youthclub creator Nick Burbounis hasdedicated his life to re-engaging ‘lost’youths.

Teenagers at Burbounis’s youth clubhave battled challenges including drugaddiction, disability and the desire tocommit suicide. They have told theWeekly how his gym training andsupport have changed their lives.

Regardless of these success stories,Burbounis says disengagement —including a severe youth homelessnessproblem on the peninsula — must beurgently addressed.

Motivated by the growing numberof youths sleeping on Rosebud beach,Burbounis has teamed up with theSeawinds Community Hub, whichoffers less-traditional forms of educa-tion and referrals to welfare agencies.

‘‘I walk down the beach and seethem,’’ Burbounis says. ‘‘They sleepdown there or they jump from houseto house or break into holiday houses.They no longer want to rebel whenthey have another purpose in life andsomething to look forward to.

‘‘Kids are coming up to the club forfood. I love talking to them. It’s ashame we can’t count how manyhomeless kids are on the peninsula —they disappear and reappear.’’

Each Monday, youths fromSeawinds walk to the youth club to

socialise and let off steam. Seawindsyouth co-ordinator Heidi Stafford,who herself found her way at Fight 4Life, says the Rosebud community hubis working on ways of educatingyoung people away from the tradi-tional school setting. Seawinds offerscertificates in conservation, civic con-struction and offers referrals to otherservices.

‘‘They are children, they don’t knowhow to budget yet, they don’t have lifeskills yet because no one has evertaught them, ‘‘ Stafford says. ‘‘Weteach them debt management, how tofill out forms and say what they needto [welfare] services because a lot ofthem just don’t. We do all the fund-raising by ourselves and the kids comeup with the ideas. It’s purely run byyouth for youth.’’

Stafford says a chronic homeless-ness problem on the southern penin-sula means many can’t get to sessions.

‘‘They’ve been sleeping on the streetor in a boat shed or haven’t hadshowers or they’re going to get food.

‘‘Some of the kids made a cubby, forshelter on the foreshore out of sticksand blankets. The council ripped itdown as they didn’t realise these kidswere going there when they hadtrouble.’’

Stafford, who grew up in Rosebud,relates easily to the young people she ishelping. She recently took a youngcouple — who were about to have ababy and waiting on transitional

housing — to her home, where shelives with her two children.

‘‘I’m 25 and a single mum. Growingup on the peninsula was hard workbecause of the lack of services andresources, like transport.

‘‘I’ve tried to take my life and I knewhow hard it was and how cold life canbe, so what inspired me was that therewasn’t enough help out there and Inever wanted that to happen toanother person. You can’t help whatproblems life throws at you — you canonly fix it with strength and willpowerand having the support behind you.’’

Stafford says travelling betweeneducation and welfare services andmeeting the criteria required to get fin-ancial or housing assistance can leadto some minors remaining disengaged.

‘‘If they’re out the back of Rosebud,how do you expect them to go toTAFE in Frankston? They get to deadends, so they’d rather go back to thestreets and do drugs because it is toohard.’’

But for the young people atSeawinds, food is provided and peerlearning is encouraged.

‘‘Most of the kids can’t read or writeproperly so the other kids in the groupteach them to read. It’s not so daunt-ing, they don’t feel so dumb. They’restill get the same qualifications as atTAFE except at their comfort level.

‘‘They are teaching each other, theyare bonding together and the ideasthat come out of this group are

amazing. It gets them into a routineand empowers them to make a differ-ence later in life.’’

In Frankston, schools and agenciesare also working on new ways ofre-engaging youngsters in education.

Alternative high-school basedlearning programs, such as Hands onLearning at McClelland College, areteaching children how to cook and eatwell and garden, as well as trade and

life skills to help them keep a job andlook after themselves.

Hands on Learning teacher SimonChurch said that without the program,some of the participants would haveleft school. ‘‘Who knows where they’dbe now? Instead, they are engaging insomething they can take ownership of.They built the hut they are sitting inand the table they are eating off. It is aplace where they can build up theirself-esteem.

‘‘One student recently got acarpentry apprenticeship and he was abully when he came into the program

but he became friends with some of thekids he had bullied. Socialisation is abig area of it. A girl in the group wasreally shy and wouldn’t talk in theclassroom but in the small group shewants to talk about herself, herinterests and what she has done. Kidswho struggled with their peers nowhave more knowledge and skills.’’

A Mission Australia program,piloted in Frankston North, has beenfunded and is turning around the livesof primary school-aged dropoutsbefore problems are carried into earlyadulthood.

The program successfullyre-enrolled 52 per cent of the Frank-ston youngsters back into their schoolsand engaged 26 per cent into a mix ofschool and education alternatives.

Learning methods included garden-ing, using an iPad library and workingwith tradesmen to help develop liter-acy and numeracy skills and confid-ence. The team spent about six monthsworking on each case before pupilswere gradually reintroduced to school.

When the Weekly travelled aroundRosebud with a group of teenagersinvolved with Seawinds and Fight 4Life, there were plenty of positive stor-ies about how these resources havehelped them prepare for a good future.

Jamillah, who volunteers atSeawinds, has been out of home sinceshe was 13 and says spending a fewweeks sleeping on the St Andrewsback beach inspired her to help others.

‘‘I knew what it was like to havenowhere to go. Seawinds is not like aschool. It’s like a family.’’

Jamillah’s brother Chaigen says heand three friends had formed a prom-ising rap group, Brothers By Choice.

‘‘We can all relate to each other. Iwouldn’t go if I didn’t want to go. I gotkicked out of school and I startedworking, but it was too hard to get into Toorak for work.’’

Band member Travis found theschool environment too restrictive.

‘‘School doesn’t work for me. It’stoo hard. At Seawinds you getqualifications and lunch. School isforceful and I hate teachers. This is abetter system than school. This youthstuff is really good because it keeps usout of trouble.’’

Anton says being around people heknows makes learning easier. ‘‘Therules are made by us and we all agreeon everything. We don’t have to wear auniform but we have schedules,’’ heexplains, adding that Burbounis alsohelped lift his self-esteem.

‘‘I’d only known him for half anhour and he made me believe I hadpotential as a boxer. I’ve never beenunderstood like that.’’

That’s amore: Bar Napoli head chef Nathan Scarfo presents authentic Italian dishes. Picture: Haydn Godony

Southern cookin’:an Italian affairHaydn Godony enjoys a taste of Italy in Frankston

Accomplished restaurateur and style-setterPaul Mathis has established a sense ofsophistication on the ground floor of the

former Peninsula Centre, now Peninsula on theBay, in Frankston.

A pair of exciting eateries now flank the build-ing’s main entrance. To the right, the formerchemist shop has been transformed into aswanky cafe, lit with retro-style Edison globeshanging above bright yellow scaffolding,smoothly melded with weathered wood.

To the left, the former ice-cream parlour isnow the Bar Napoli restaurant, which includes agourmet pizzeria in a subtle reflection of Mathis’Federation Square restaurant, Taxi.

The restaurant’s geometrical mix of timbertables, taupe terrazzo tiles, curved-back blackchairs and huge blackboard, yet to be adornedwith artwork, all add to the visual experience.

The aim is to offer top quality, modern mealsfor $18-$24.

“The desire to provide the best possible experi-ence, for the price, was part of my Taxi learningcurve,” Mathis said.

DOP certified ingredients (Denominazione d’Origine Protetta) are standard for all dishes andfamiliar to fans of D.O.C. restaurants in Carltonand Mornington.

The authentic Italian menu includes a ‘streetfood’ dish, battlocchio, a classic fried calzone ofhot salami, spinach, Napoli and ricotta. “I don’tthink it’s available anywhere else in Australia,”Mathis said.

“We are happy to bring a welcome degree ofcreativity to this place. We’re a fresh choice in acity with a broad compendium of styles and ourcore philosophy is to provide the best possiblefood and service for the money.”

Head chef Nathan Scarfo described the foodexperience as ‘‘like being at home in Italy”.

‘‘Warm, tasty, inviting and flavoursome —that’s our style. It’s heartfelt food from Italy’sdeep south. Rich sauces, hand-made pastas anddelicious fish.”

The spaghettini tossed with finely chopped

broccoli, anchovies, garlic and topped withcrispy crumbs is a moreishly memorable dish.

Relaxed live music is featured on Fridaynights.

Bar Napoli is at 435 Nepean Highway,Frankston. Call: 8765 2455.

The EOI process aims to identify a group of Allied Health Practitioners who are keen to work with FMPML to deliver high quality services to disadvantaged clients using fl exible approaches to appropriately engage and meet the needs of this client group. These clients often experience multiple health problems, and as such Allied Health Practitioners must work collaboratively with others (particularly GPs and other Allied Health Practitioners involved in care) to coordinate services and care.

Allied Health Practitioners will be selected to be ATAPS/ACPSP providers on the basis of their specifi c skills, experience, qualifi cations, and ability to meet a range of criteria. The EOI process provides the opportunity for current and prospective Allied Health Practitioners to demonstrate how they meet these criteria.

Notice Of Intention To Declare A Special Charge,For The Construction Of Cranhaven Road and John Street, Langwarrin

In accordance with a resolution of Frankston City Council (the Council) made at its Planning Meeting on Monday, 6 May 2013, notice is hereby given that at the Ordinary Meeting to be held by the Council on Monday, 15 July 2013 it is the intention of the Council to declare a special charge (the special charge) under section 163 and section 221(3) of the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act) for the purposes of defraying expenses or repaying with interest any advance made to a debt or loan raised by the Council in relation to the provision of road construction and associated works as outlined below (the scheme).

The scheme involves the construction of road pavement and surfacing in Cranhaven Road and John Street, Langwarrin, including the provision of road pavement, kerb and channel, footpath, nature strip, drainage, traffi c management devices and associated works.

The special charge will be based on geographic criteria, having regard to those properties in the scheme which are presently zoned or used for residential and rural conservation and which enjoy an abuttal to or access via the road to be constructed.

The owners of lands and premises within the designated area of the scheme are considered by the Council to receive a special benefi t from the construction of the road. The respective liabilities of the contributing properties are to be calculated using a unit system taking account of abuttal, area and benefi t.

In performing functions and exercising powers in relation to activities associated with the construction of road pavement, kerb and channel, footpath, nature strip, drainage, traffi c management devices and associated works, the Council intends to levy and spend approximately $426,015, with an additional contribution being made by Council of approximately $354,951.

Further details of affected properties and their estimated proposed contributions are contained in the proposed declaration. Copies of the declaration and a plan of the scheme area are available for inspection at the offi ces of the Frankston City Council, Civic Centre, Davey Street, Frankston during its normal business hours for a period of at least 28 days following the publication of this notice.

A person may make a submission in relation to the proposed declaration, under sections 163A and 223 of the Act.

A submission must be in writing and should be clearly marked Submission: Special Charge Scheme for Cranhaven Road and John Street, Langwarrin and addressed to Brad Hurren, Infrastructure Manager and delivered to the Council at the Civic Centre, Davey Street, Frankston or posted to the Council to PO Box 490, Frankston VIC 3199 or faxed to 9784 1091 and must be received by the Council by 5:00pm on Tuesday, 11 June 2013.

Under section 222 of The Act, and regulation 11(k) of the Local Government (General) Regulations 2004, such submissions are prescribed as public documents which must be made available for public inspection for a period of 12 months. Copies of submissions are provided to each Councillor and/or included in the agenda or their appendices at or before each Council meeting at which the scheme is to be considered and in the minutes or their appendices afterwards. Names and addresses may be removed before inclusion in Council agendas, minutes or appendices. However, it may not be possible to remove all identifying information and thus the identity of the submitter may become apparent, consistent with the submission being a public document.

Any person who has made a written submission is entitled to request in the submission that the person wishes to appear, or to be represented by a person specifi ed in the submission, at a Council Meeting to be heard in support of their submission. The Council meeting to hear submitters will occur at its meeting on Monday, 1 July 2013 in the Council Chambers, Civic Centre, Davey Street Frankston. The meeting will commence at 7:00pm.

In addition, a person who will be required to pay the special charge to be imposed by the proposed declaration, whether an owner or an occupier of a property included in the scheme, has a right to object to the proposed under section 163B of the Act. An occupier is entitled to exercise the right of objection if they submit documentary evidence with the objection which shows that it is a condition of the lease under which the person is an occupier that the occupier is to pay the special charge.

An objection must be in writing and should be clearly marked Objection: Special Charge Scheme for Cranhaven Road and John Street, Langwarrin and addressed to Brad Hurren, Infrastructure Manager and delivered to the Council at the Civic Centre, Davey Street, Frankston or posted to the Council to PO Box 490, Frankston VIC 3199 or faxed to 9784 1091 and must be received by the Council by 5:00pm on Tuesday, 11 June 2013. Council will consider any written submissions or objections in accordance with sections 163A, 163B and 223 of the Act.

Any enquires can be directed to Council’s Schemes Engineer, Brian O’Donnell, on 9784 1638 during offi ce hours.

Import pacesBlues’ tight winFRANKSTON Blues import Chuck Long steeredhis side to a stellar three-point victory over Bal-larat in their SEABL men’s clash at theMinerdome on Saturday night.

Long was in scintillating touch, dropping 35points and pulling down eight rebounds as theBlues notched their sixth win under coach AlanMcAughtry.

The Blues season looked to be at the cross-roads only weeks ago with a crushing defeat atthe hands of Dandenong and loss of import TonyMeier to injury, but the Blues have since beenable to renew themselves, winning their last threegames.

Frankston took an early lead against theMiners in the first period appearing to have afirm grip on the match before Ballarat camestorming back in the second.

The Miners controlled the game for most ofthe second and third terms, containing forwardMitch Chapman, who struggled.

Point guard Ben Louis was able to pick up theslack with 14 points, five rebounds and eightassists.

The Blues turned up the heat in the final periodto run out 75-72 winners, taking them to thirdplace in the East pool and fifth place overall.

The Lady Blues’ stunning second half helpedthem defeat Ballarat for their sixth win of theseason. Stephanie Cumming starred with 22points.

Frankston had full control of the glass, withPatrice McKenzie collecting 11 boards withCumming adding 10 rebounds helping themrecord a 74-68 victory. — Morgan Cole

Langy’s winning trotLANGWARRIN kept its unbeaten FFV StateLeague 2 southeast record intact with a 1-0 winover South Springvale at Lawton Park Reserveon Saturday.

The Gus MacLeod-coached outfit took itsrecord to 5-0 and makes them firm title favour-ites in the hotly contested soccer competition.

Despite South Springvale having just one winfrom five matches MacLeod is wary of their tal-ented list. ‘‘We’re very pleased to get the threepoints — they have five VPL players in their sideand had a couple of last year’s Southern Starsboys. I watched them a few weeks ago and theyhave a good team.’’

Langwarrin broke the deadlock in the 50thminute when Koray Suat scored with his firsttouch of the football.

The super sub had been brought on with wideright Mark O’Connell struggling with a slightankle injury. ‘‘He made me look good making thechange,’’ MacLeod joked.

MacLeod admitted it was a dream start forLangwarrin as they strive to return to StateLeague 1 next season. ‘‘It is very much so a goodstart, it takes the pressure off a little bit. We’vegot two away games with White Eagles and Mal-vern and then Dandenong City, so the next fourweeks will determine where we are at.’’

Dolphin shines, but Vics crumbleBY BRAD McGRATH

DESPITE a four-goal haul to Frankston Dol-phins star Sam Lloyd, the VFL went down tothe WAFL by 17 points and gave up a two-decade dominance over the West Australianteam at Northam, WA, on Saturday.

The Victorians squandered a 31-point lead asthe WAFL booted 10 goals to three in thesecond half to bring bragging rights to the west.

VFL assistant coach and Dolphins coachSimon Goosey said they had simply ran out oflegs when it mattered against the more experi-enced WAFL outfit.

‘‘We seemed to travel all day. . . a four and ahalf hour flight and then an hour and a half onthe bus didn’t help,’’ Goosey said. ‘‘WA pickeda more experienced side and at the end of theday we made a few crucial errors.’’

The Vics lifted midway through the secondterm with Kane Lambert, Marcus Mariglianiand Evan Panozza providing plenty of run offhalf-back.

Ben Warren and Chris Michaliades bothkicked their second goals. Despite WAFL aceWayde Twomey booting two goals just beforethe long change, Panozza and Lloyd kickedgoals to extend the margin to 25 points at half-time.

Despite the VFL booting two of the firstthree goals in the third term to extend the mar-gin to 31 points at the 13-minute mark, theWAFL began to dominate.

The West Australians booted the next fourgoals to cut the margin to 14 points by the finalchange and, more importantly, stay withinstriking distance.

At the 12-minute mark of the final term theWAFL took the lead for the first time since earlyin the opening quarter.

Wayde Twomey booted his fifth to put theWAFL in front and from there the home teambooted the final two goals of the match to closeout a famous victory.

Chris Cain was named the Frank Johnsonmedallist for the VFL with 32 disposals, withMarigliani and Panozza also outstanding indefence.

Myles Sewell (27 disposals), Lambert andLloyd were other players to shine for the Vic-torians.

Mt Eliza teen gets call from Aussie squadMT Eliza youngster Julia Smith has been selectedin the Australian under-17 netball team.

The Peninsula Waves gun was one of nineVictorians named in the squad after they domin-ated the 17 and under National Netball Champi-onships held in Darwin last month.

The goalkeeper enjoyed a superb champion-ships, playing against elite netballers in her agebracket from around the country.

She said it was privilege to play on such astrong Victorian team that swept through thetournament undefeated.

‘‘It was just great to be able to play on such a

strong team,’’ Smith said. ‘‘They pump you up somuch and you have a great time — it’s prettyexciting.

‘‘We just bonded really well as a team and beatsome strong opposition.’’

The Waves youngster models her game onEnglish international and Melbourne Vixens starGeva Mentor.

‘‘She has been my idol and got me inspired toplay defence,’’ Smith said.

‘‘I was a goaler for a long time and thendecided I loved the idea of being a defender.’’

Smith, who goes to school at Kilbreda College

in Mentone, was due to attend the NationalDevelopment Camp at the Australian Institute ofSport over the weekend.

‘‘It’s a four-day camp at the AIS and we workwith some different coaches,’’ she said.■ Peninsula Waves drew 48-48 with City WestFalcons in the VNL Championship Division onWednesday night.

Despite star import Mwai Kumwenda scoring38 goals from 41 attempts, the Falcons wereimpressive.

The Waves’ record is now seven wins and adraw from nine games. — Brad McGrath

Sharks have a day to rememberBY MORGAN COLE

BONBEACH gave skipper Shane McDonald plenty tocelebrate in his 150th game, overrunning Morningtonin the final term to win by 15 points in a PeninsulaLeague clash at Bonbeach on Saturday.

The win was a landmark achievement for theSharks, who seem to have finally recaptured the stellarform from the second half of last season that carriedthem into the finals.

Bonbeach coach Steve Capp was thrilled with hisside’s effort to win after trailing for most of the after-noon.

‘‘We knew it would be game on right from the start,’’Capp said.

‘‘They really did their homework. They played ourground better then we did.

‘‘We rate this as one of our better wins. To comefrom nearly five goals down against a quality side wasa huge effort.’’

The win looked far from achievable in the first term,with the Bulldogs jumping out of the blocks and catch-ing the home side off guard as they took a 28-pointlead into the first change.

Capp shook his team up after half-time sendingruckman Dylan Jones and utility Shaun Fosterforward, changing his team’s fortune as they broughtthemselves back into the contest.

‘‘We had to sort of abandon our game plan a bit andjust tried to start winning the contested ball,’’ Cappsaid.

Mornington maintained its lead in the third term,with Warwick Miller and Anthony Simpson helpingMornington keep its nose in front

McDonald was close to his best in his milestonematch, booting two majors in an impressive midfielddisplay from the veteran.

The Sharks put the foot down in the final termputting on six goals to wrest the lead from theBulldogs, Shaun Foster the last-quarter hero with

three of his four goals coming in the final term.‘‘The win was really important to us. To be thrown

down the challenge and to come from behind wasgreat.’’ Capp said. ‘‘At our best we think we’re goodenough to beat anyone.’’

The win takes Bonbeach to second place on theladder and just ahead — by percentage — of Seaford,whom they will take on this Saturday.

Mornington has slipped to third place on the tableand will look to bounce back next week when theyface off against Karingal.

In other Peninsula League matches, Pines added toMt Eliza’s woes with a 22-point victory over last year’srunner-up.

Chelsea notched its first win of the season with anarrow four-point victory over Langwarrin.

Frankston YCW left no stone unturned in its64-point hammering of Seaford.

Edithvale-Aspendale recorded a 44-point upset overa sluggish Karingal.

High five as Tigersnotch another win

A SECOND-quarter blitz gaveDromana the edge as they handed Rose-bud its second straight loss in theirNepean League match at Olympic Ovalon Saturday.

The Tigers have won five on the trotsince their round one loss to Sorrentoand show no signs of slowing downwith coach Gavin Artico glowing in hispraise.

The Buds kept the Tigers honest earlywith an edge through the midfield.Rosebud on-baller Matt Payne wasbusy as usual providing plenty of out-side run.

‘‘It was a lot tougher challenge thanwhat we have had in the last fewweeks,’’ Artico said. ‘‘They play theirground really well and we didn’t get offto the best of starts.’’

Dromana was able to take control inthe second term piling on eight goals tothree, forcing Rosebud coach NickJewell to rethink his strategy.

‘‘They are a crack outfit at themoment,’’ Jewell said. ‘‘If you make amistake they will really make you payfor it on the scoreboard.

‘‘We got a bit reactive in the secondterm so we threw the side around a littlebit to get some more run.’’

Former Port Adelaide midfielderGreg Bentley made the move to half-back for the Buds, the gun on-ballerhelping bring his side back into the con-test in the second half.

The Buds had the ascendancythrough the middle for much of theafternoon but struggled to convert theirchances when going forward.

‘‘We are still trying to get the

right mix up forward,’’ Jewell said.‘‘We’re getting plenty out of our mids

and our smalls but our key forwards arestruggling.’’

After half-time the Buds were able towork their way back into the contestbut the damage was already done withDromana able to defend its lead.

Tigers recruit and former Mt Elizaon-baller Dan Gormley lodged his bestperformance since crossing over toTigers, with three majors.

Dromana will square off against theinjury-riddled Rye this Saturday whileRosebud takes on flag favourites Sor-rento, Jewell relishing the thought of thechallenge.

‘‘We’re looking forward to it. Outsideof finals, games like these are why youplay footy,’’ he said.

In other Nepean League matches,Sorrento demolished Tyabb by119 points, Sharks young gun LeighPoholke with a 10-goal haul.

Devon Meadows overcame a21-point half-time deficit to sneakhome against Somerville with a three-point win.
