By Jo WinterbottomENJOYING a cleansing ale while watching the sun set over Port Phil-lip on a warm summer evening could become a thing of the past for many Kingston residents if new alcohol bans are introduced.

Police have asked Kingston Coun-cil to considering extending the fore-shore area where the possession and consumption of alcohol is banned. The council will poll residents be-fore deciding whether to create an

alcohol-free area at Carrum.Chelsea police boss Senior Ser-

geant Chris James singled out the area around Carrum beach, shops and railway station as a problem spot where antisocial behaviour had in-creased in the past two summers.

“We have a problem with excessive drinking and the antisocial behaviour that comes with it,” he said.

This included assaults, swearing, loud music and intimidation of other beachgoers. The bad behaviour wors-

ened during prolonged hot spells.“We’ve also got young people jump-

ing off the [Nepean Hwy] bridge into the Patterson River and you throw alcohol into the mix with that sort of behaviour and it is a recipe for disaster,” Senior Ser-geant James said.

He said Chelsea foreshore had been a problem area before alcohol bans were introduced there.

“Alcohol free zones are a very effec-tive tool for police,” he said.

There are four alcohol-free zones

along the 13 kilometres of foreshore in the City of Kingston - in Mentone, Mor-dialloc, Aspendale/Edithvale and Chel-sea. Some areas are subject to a 24-hour ban on the possession and consumption of alcohol, others have a 9pm to 7am re-striction and others a seasonal ban from October to March.

The council will seek community feedback on two options – a new ban area around Carrum foreshore, shopping centre and railway station, or a south-erly extension of the Chelsea ban area,

which currently ends at Maury Rd, to the boundary of the City of Kingston at Os-prey Lane. The latter option would take in Bonbeach and Carrum foreshore, as well as the mouth of Patterson River.

South Ward councillors Tamsin Bears-ley, David Eden and John Ronke are part of the committee which will seek public input before making a decision.

Cr Bearsley said: “My preference is for option 1 [a ban restricted to Carrum], but I’m waiting to hear what the people think.”

IGNORING a legal issue can be costly and the Peninsula Community Legal Centre is urging those facing legal problems to seek professional help “sooner rather than later” to ensure the best possible outcome.

A 2012 Legal Australia-Wide sur-vey entitled ‘Legal Need in Australia’ found about one-in-fi ve people took no action to address legal problems because of stress, cost or simply not knowing where to begin.

The Peninsula Legal Community Centre is an ideal fi rst stop for King-ston residents to discuss any legal problems they have.

“Most clients are low-income earn-

ers on less than $26,000 per year but Kingston residents can use the free legal service for initial advice irrespec-tive of income,” centre volunteers and education general manager Andrea Staunton said.

Those using the Chelsea legal advice service often seek help with family law issues, wills and powers of attor-ney. The centre also provides access to tenant and consumer, rooming house outreach and child support rights.

The Centre is funded with support from federal and state governments and the City of Kingston. Kingston Council provided funding of $30,389 in 2011-12.

Free legal advice is available on most areas of law and people who are disadvantaged may be eligible for on-going assistance.

“About one-in-fi ve clients have a mental health or physical disability of some sort,” Ms Staunton said.

The centre has offered free legal ad-vice for 35 years and moved to new premises at 441 Nepean Highway in Frankston in August last year. A fort-nightly Chelsea visiting service is available every second Friday at Chel-sea Community Support Services, 1 Chelsea Rd, Chelsea.

KINGSTON has a new mayor; a junior mayor, that is.

St Louis de Montfort’s Primary School grade six pupil Daniel Passante has been elected coun-cil’s junior mayor for 2013-14.

Each year a junior mayor is elected in the City of Kingston. The election process involves local primary schools each nominating one pupil who makes a two-minute speech and their peers vote for the best presentation.

Daniel’s speech advocated for creating a sus-tainable environment, included the desire to see every household in Kingston use compost bins to reduce, reuse and recycle waste.

Kingston Council Mayor Ron Brownlees said Daniel was an intelligent up-and-coming leader who would make an excellent representative for youth in Kingston.

“Council is very proud to continue its long and unique tradition of electing a junior mayor. The program aims to educate and engage young people about how local government works and how they can get involved and make a differ-ence in our community. It also provides support and experience to our next generation of lead-ers.”

Cr Brownlees looked forward to welcoming Daniel to the junior mayor circuit of community events and appearances over the next 12 months.

The junior mayor receives junior mayoral robes, chains and $200 from the Chelsea Rotary Club. The junior mayor program has been run-ning for more than 50 years and is sponsored by the Chelsea Rotary Club.

Cr Brownlees acknowledged previous in-cumbent, Parkdale Primary School’s Matthew Bergen, had been an outstanding junior mayor for the past 12 months.

QUICK thinking Chelsea police com-mandeered a boat to make a dramatic sea rescue last week.

Senior Sergeant Chris James said Chelsea police were alerted by a beachcomber who noticed a woman struggling in the surf near Avondale Ave in Chelsea about 3.15pm on Wednesday 22 May.

“The water police and the police Air Wing were unavailable at the time, so our members have arrived on the scene very quickly and raced to Pat-terson River, where a boat was com-mandeered to reach the woman about 50 metres off shore,” he said.

He commended Senior Constable Tarrant Jones and Constable Jessica Trabert for their intelligent response to the incident, which likely saved the woman’s life.

The 42-year-old woman from Mt Waverly was taken to Frankston Hos-pital for treatment.

Car nicked, taxi Car nicked, taxi driver kickeddriver kickedKINGSTON detectives are seeking information about the assault of a taxi driver in East Bentleigh on Sunday 26 May.

Detective Leading Senior Constable Ric Anderson of Kingston crime in-vestigation unit said the driver picked up a male passenger in St Kilda about 9.15pm and drove to East Lahona Ave in East Bentleigh, where the man de-manded he stop the cab about 9.40pm.

There was an argument over the fare and the passenger struck the taxi driver and then hopped in the cab and drove about 200 metres before running off.

The taxi was left in Purtell St and the taxi driver was left with minor in-juries.

The male passenger was described as aged in his late 20s or early 30s, of Caucasian descent, about 183 cm tall and of stocky build. He had blond crew-cut hair, was clean shaven and spoke with an Irish accent. He was wearing a green and white checked jacket and blue jeans.

Anyone with information can con-tact Kingston police on 9556 6565 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

By Jo WinterbottomKINGSTON Council meetings will soon be streamed live over the in-ternet after councillors voted unani-mously to record all general, planning and special meetings.

The idea was put to council by its youngest member, 19-year-old South Ward councillor David Eden, who asked offi cers to investigate the fea-sibility of recording and broadcasting council meetings.

A “digital native” who has grown up with the internet and social media, Cr Eden is the only councillor who lists on his council webpage an email ad-dress, mobile phone number, personal website, Facebook page and Twit-ter account as points of contact. The

other eight councillors are happy to stop at phone numbers and an email address.

Speaking after the meeting, Cr Eden said recording council meet-ings would allow Kingston residents to better evaluate the performance of their elected representatives.

“I think it will improve transparen-cy of council decisions because what we say will now be on the record,” he said.

Cr Steve Staikos said he hoped the increased level of scrutiny would “im-prove standards of behaviour” in the council chamber.

The minutes of council meetings are posted on the Kingston Council web-site, about a week after a meeting. Un-

like state and federal parliament ses-sions, which are recorded in Hansard, council minutes list the resolutions adopted, but do not record debate and only show how councillors voted if a division is called on particular items.

Reporting to Monday’s meeting, Kingston’s program leader of govern-ance Phil DeLosa said that in Victoria only the City of Greater Dandenong and Wellington Shire Council, based at Sale in Gippsland, streamed their council meetings over the internet, but the practice would become more common.

“Whist this number is relatively low, offi cers were advised in the course of their discussions with the City of Greater Dandenong that they

[Dandenong] have received similar enquiries from approximately ten other Victorian councils in recent months,” he noted.

Initial estimates indicated it would cost between $15,000 and $20,000 to purchase and set up three cameras to record meetings, while ongoing costs would run to about $1500 to record and stream two or three meetings each month.

The meetings would be archived on the internet so they could be accessed after meetings.

No date has been set for the fi rst recording, but Kingston’s manager of communications and public affairs Sarah Bishop said, “We are hoping to get this done ASAP”.

By Neil WalkerMODERN life can be hectic and feel overwhelming at times so it is impor-tant to take time out to consider how to cope with the pressures involved and how it can affect family relationships.

That is the message men’s group or-ganiser Nick Theophilou wants males in particular to heed since they seldom let others know when they are facing issues in their personal life.

The men’s health consultant, who has been hosting men’s groups for more than 20 years, is running pro-grams for fathers in Parkdale on ‘Be-ing a dad again’.

“Often after having a child, marriag-es and partnerships can be fraught,” Mr Theophilou said. “Men need to realise life really has changed for the mother and they need to be able to talk together. Being the parent of a young kid is a tough gig and most people now also work full time.”

Realising that other men face the same issues in their relationships can make it easier to deal with the every-day challenges of looking after young children.

Black Rock plumber Mick recently attended a ‘Being a dad again’ pro-gram in Parkdale and “thought it was fantastic”.

Mick said it was good to hear open discussions between men on how to deal with problems without getting angry.

He decided to attend the program when his three-year-old son “asked for a better dad”.

“There are not a lot of support groups around for guys and they don’t

go looking for help,” he said.Hampton accountant Matthew also

attended the father’s program and found the course benefi cial.

“We’re all busy and home life is ex-tremely hectic at times and there can be nobody to turn to to share prob-lems,” he said. “It is good to know you’re not the only father with the same problems.”

Nick Theophilou has noticed “the men really love their wives and they really love their children” but, at times, the stresses of parenting can get in the way.

He has also noted a change in the men who attend men’s groups. “When they leave, they walk a bit taller,” he said.

Nick Theophilou said: “The last thing I want to see is couples in a me-diation centre deciding how to split up assets.”

He is aware men’s groups “have un-fortunately had a bad press” but he has found “those who are initally most re-sistant get the most out of it.”

Matthew agreed. “Give it a try,” he said.

The group he attended is aiming to meet independently in future. The free ‘Being a dad again’ pro-gram, supported by Kingston Council, begins on Wednesday 12 June from 6-8pm at the Maternal Health Centre, Cnr Como Parade and Herbert Street, Parkdale. Contact Nick Theophilou on 0432 222 423 to attend.

Communication key for menCommunication key for menSURF lifesavers performed 26 rescues off Kingston beaches over the 2012-13 season running from November to March, with an estimated 420,223 people visiting patrolled beaches in the area.

The number of rescues was well down on 2011-12’s fi gure of 75 de-spite a 123,447 increase in beachgoer numbers.

Life Saving Victoria general manag-er Paul Shannon said the latest lifesav-ing patrol season was a busy time for lifesavers statewide with hot weather continuing into autumn enticing more people to beaches.

“Our volunteer lifesavers and paid lifeguards have again done a fantastic job in ensuring the safety of people at Victorian beaches,” Mr Shannon said.

Lifesavers and lifeguards performed a total of 689 rescues across Victoria, and provided fi rst aid in 1760 instanc-es.

Mr Shannon said it is now even more important for people visiting the beach to be aware of risks and be re-sponsible for their own safety in and around the water.

“In Victoria, more than half of last year’s drowning deaths happened out-side of summer,” he said.

“When you arrive at the beach, it‘s important to check the safety signage at the entrance, to understand the haz-ards and dangers that are present. It’s good practice to check with someone who knows the local conditions. The tourist information centre is a good fi rst point of contact for visitors.”

Visit www.watersafety.vic.gov.au for detailed water safety information.

Lifesaving patrols will begin again in November.

Key to road safety: Wiser driver Margaret Crook prepares to learn how to keep driving skills updated. Picture: Yanni

SENIOR drivers aged over 60 are being urged to ensure they are up to date with the latest road rules as part of a free Wiser Driver course being offered at Mordialloc Com-munity Centre in June.

The Wiser Driver program, subsidised by Kingston Council and RoadSafe South East, aims to build older drivers’ self-con-

fi dence and awareness of road safety issues.

Small groups of senior drivers get together to discuss how they can ensure they remain active and independent while ensuring their driving skills are up to date.

“Seniors are some of the most responsible drivers but have to be aware of updated road rules,”

course coordinator Nancy Gard-ner said. “If you don’t know the road rules, should you be on the road?”

Ms Gardner was keen to stress there are no assessments or tests. “It is just a chance for senior driv-ers to remember all the road rules with the help of their peers,” she said. “No policeman is going to

attend and take your driving li-cence from you.” The Wiser Driver course con-sists of four afternoon sessions over two weeks from Tuesday 11 June at Mordialloc Community Centre, 115 Warren Road. Bookings to attend the course are essential. Call 9580 3675 for fur-ther information.

CCTV Community ConsultationThe Victorian Government is interested in your views and perceptions of closed-circuit TV (CCTV) in the Kingston City Council area.

The Victorian Government provides funding for local councils to help support the installation of public safety CCTV systems to help make communities safer, including the costs of buying and installing CCTV infrastructure such as CCTV cameras and equipment to transmit, monitor and store camera footage.

Available evidence suggests that CCTV can be an eff ective crime prevention tool at a local level, especially when used in combination with other local crime prevention strategies.

By Jo WinterbottomPERCEPTIONS of uncomfortably close connections between councillors and state and federal parliamentarians were addressed in two decisions at Kingston Council’s meeting on Mon-day 27 May.

The appearance of state and federal parliamentarians in council’s newslet-ter will be restricted and the Kingston mayor and deputy mayor will be forced to resign the post should he or she be preselected to run for parliament.

There will also be a review of the monthly council newsletter Kingston Your City.

Cr David Eden said Kingston Your City had become known as a “good publicity outlet” for state and federal MPs and called for a restriction on photographs of MPs and/or the men-tion of MPs to once per MP in each newsletter.

He said there was a perception that “a few councillors were very friendly” with Carrum MP Donna Bauer, Mordi-alloc MP Lorraine Wreford and Liberal Upper House MP Inga Peulich.

“We don’t care if it’s Liberal or La-bor MPs,” he said.

“To be honest I don’t think politi-cians are really all that interesting; I think community members would rather see what the council is doing and what plans there are for the future rather than councillors pushing to get

their friends elected.”Kingston’s acting general manager

of organisational development and governance Anthony Basford said state and federal grant funding agree-ments often included specifi c clauses that required acknowledgement of the government in all promotional activi-ties.

“Effort is made to include photo-graphs of state and federal MPs only when it is signifi cantly newsworthy to the Kingston community. There are of-ten editions where no photographs of MPs are featured.” he said.

A glance at the past six editions of the newsletter revealed state Liberal MPs Donna Bauer and Lorraine Wr-eford have each appeared in two pho-tographs and Bentleigh MP Elizabeth Miller (Liberal), federal Labor MP Si-mon Crean and Warrandyte MP Ryan Smith (Liberal) have each featured once.

Cr Tamsin Bearsley, who left a part-time job in the offi ce of Donna Bauer when she was elected to council last year, said the council should not be so “prescriptive” in its decisions.

She said Kingston Your City was a “fantastic publication” which was well read by residents.

“I don’t believe it is biased at all,” she said.

Cr Steve Staikos called for a review of the publication to consider transla-

tions for non-English speaking resi-dents.

“We’ve had KYC in its current form for some time now and there is a defi -nite lack of information for residents who speak languages other than Eng-lish,” he said.

He would like to see more council information made available in Chi-nese, Vietnamese, Greek, Italian and Arabic, the fi rst languages spoken by a signifi cant number of residents in North Ward.

There was wide support for Cr Geoff Gledhill’s motion that the Kingston mayor and deputy mayor be required to resign the mayoralty should he or she be preselected to contest a parlia-mentary seat in the Kingston area.

Cr Gledhill told The News: “Given the growing commitment required of councillors, and particularly the mayor, it is only fair that their focus is on the job they have been elected to do, which is represent the residents of Kingston. I think what people are looking for at all levels of government is that the elected representatives are there to serve the best intentions of the people, not their own interests.”

There is no deputy to assist Kingston Mayor Ron Brownlees this year, but when Cr Staikos was mayor in 2010, Donna Bauer was his deputy. She was elected to state parliament in Novem-ber that year.

FRANKSTON Hospital’s emergency department is the fi rst in Australia to in-troduce digital e-prescribing and medi-cation management.

The hospital is also one of the fi rst health services in Australia to use the National E-Health Transition Author-ity’s standardised Australian medicines terminology (AMT).

The information system uses technology to implement elec-tronic medication management and e-prescribing facilities in the emergen-cy department.

It also allows patient information, medications and pharmacy needs to be streamlined into one process.

“The introduction of this new tech-nology means that prescribing is now much more streamlined and eliminates the need for hand written scripts,” clini-cal director of emergency medicine Dr Helen Hewitt said.

“The use of electronic drug charts

will enable clinical staff to easily read patient’s medication histories in a much clearer and a more functional format.”

Dr Hewitt said clinicians and phar-macists could access and record patient information “at the touch of a button”.

The technology was accessible at every bedside with the 39 electronic devices which included washable key-board and barcode scanners.

The emergency department also had 23 portable workstations equipped with barcode scanners to read identifi cation wristbands.

Emergency nurse Queenie Men-chavez says the e-prescribing system had made a big difference.

“It’s a lot easier now to access and administer patient medica-tions. Everything is simpler to use and only requires a few touches of a button rather than a pile of paperwork.”

Frankston is one of three health ser-vices in the state trialling the system.

By Neil WalkerCHELSEA Heights residents hope much-anticipat-ed road upgrades at Thames Promenade fi nally pro-ceed after $600,000 was allocated to the project in Kingston Council’s draft 2013-14 budget.

Council confi rmed $400,000 would be spent installing a new roundabout at Fifth Ave, and $150,000 will be used to erect traffi c lights at Chel-sea Heights Primary School’s pedestrian crossing, if the upgrades are approved in the draft budget. The remaining $50,000 would be used to improve the shared pedestrian and cycle path.

More than 80 people attended a community meet-ing arranged on Thursday 23 May by the Kingston Residents Association at the Chelsea Heights Com-munity Centre. Kingston Council’s traffi c and trans-port team leader Anthea Jennings was in attendance to hear residents’ concerns about road safety issues in the area.

“Those who attended the meeting expressed their fears and horror about the speed of the traffi c in Thames Promenade,” Kingston Residents Associa-tion present Maureen Lim said.

South Ward councillor David Eden, whose ward includes Chelsea Heights, also attended the meet-ing, as did Central Ward councillor Rosemary West.

“It’s a bit disappointing other councillors didn’t attend the meeting, since we will be voting to adopt the fi nal budget,” Cr Eden said.

“It is always better to see and hear things fi rst hand rather than solely rely on council offi cers to provide briefi ngs. I am hoping the other councillors will speak to residents since there was consensus among those present at the meeting that something must be done.”

The Kingston Residents Association is also push-ing for a pedestrian crossing to be installed outside the IGA store on Thames Promenade to ease access to the shopping strip, but this proposal has not been funded in council’s latest draft budget.

“People are too frightened to cross the road at the shops,” Mrs Lim said. “People fear the only thing that will ensure something is done is someone’s

death. To a certain extent, council is restricted by VicRoads rules. Council offi cers have tried to con-vince VicRoads about the need for a pedestrian crossing at the shops but VicRoads are not listen-ing.”

Council confi rmed pedestrian numbers at the shops are such that VicRoads is unlikely to approve installation of a pedestrian crossing at present, but this could change if pedestrian numbers keep rising.

However, a permanent 40kph speed limit will soon be applied to the entire shopping area on Thames Promenade during school times after Vi-cRoads gave the go-ahead.

“Council is committed to improving the safety of local roads and we are acting on the traffi c concerns of residents in Chelsea Heights,” Kingston mayor Ron Brownlees said.

Chelsea Heights Primary School principal Jane Satchwell welcomed the possibility of traffi c lights at Chelsea Heights Primary School’s pedestrian crossing and the reduced speed limit throughout the area during school times.

“I have seen cars drive through the crossing while the traffi c warden is standing in the road,” she said.

Many teachers refuse to do traffi c duty when the crossing supervisor is not on duty due to the danger posed by speeding vehicles.

Ms Satchwell said fl ashing lights recently erected at the school crossing had “helped a bit” but many drivers still sped through the area.

She said recent false rumours about a child being struck by a car in the area showed “people are ex-pecting something bad to happen”.

Kingston Council will aim to have the school crossing traffi c lights installed and the 40kph speed limit for the whole shopping strip during school times implemented by the school summer holiday period, if the council’s draft budget is approved at the end of July.

Construction of the Fifth Ave roundabout would take three years to complete, if it proceeds.

By Keith PlattSCIENTISTS believe the soar-ing number of snapper being caught in Port Phillip may be due to a 30- to 40-year breed-ing cycle.

History shows there were peaks in catches of snapper in the 1920s, 1970s and now the 2010s.

And while fi gures show rec-reational anglers catch seven times more snapper than com-mercial fi shers, the Victorian National Parks Association has warned that better management and more scientifi c research is needed to make sure Port Phil-lip remains a happy hunting ground for all.

“Recreational fi shing is in-credibly popular. Every year there are more people catching more fi sh in more locations, and with better gear,” the Victorian National Parks Association’s marine and coastal project of-fi cer Simon Branigan said.

“But there is a great deal of uncertainty and lack of accurate information about the scale and extent of recreational fi shing and its impacts on the marine environment.”

Recommendations to the state government in the VNPA-commissioned report The state

of recreational fi shing in Victo-ria include monitoring catches in Port Phillip; reintroducing annual trawls to assess fi sh populations; reduce risks af-fecting marine ecosystems; and the gradual switch by anglers to biodegradable hooks and fi sh-ing lines.

The report shows that nearly half of the state’s recreational fi sh catch is taken in Port Phil-lip, although the most reliable data dates back to 1999-2000.

Flathead was the most-caught species, with recreational an-glers taking 597 tonnes com-pared to 151 tonnes by com-mercial fi shers.

Snapper came in second, with 332 tonnes being taken by rec-reational fi shers and 47 tonnes commercially.

The biggest commercial haul was Australian salmon, 803 tonnes compared to 271 tonnes caught recreationally.

An almost equal quantity of King George whiting was caught by both types of fi shers (213 tonnes commercial; 215 tonnes recreational).

Mr Branigan said the report, written by marine scientists John Ford and Patrick Gilmour, “shows that despite popular opinion, recreational fi shing does have an impact on the ma-

rine environment and is prov-ing diffi cult to manage”.

“Some of Victoria’s most popular eating fi sh are now far more likely to be hooked by a recreational fi sher than a com-mercial operator.”

He said the report was com-missioned to help overcome uncertainties about the impact of recreational fi shing.

Key fi ndings showed Port Phillip accounted for an esti-mated 88 per cent of total recre-ational catch for Victoria’s bays and inlets and 47 per cent of the statewide, retained recreational catch.

“The report reveals that de-spite perceptions, recreational fi shing has a number of direct impacts on our marine envi-ronment and fi sh stocks,” Mr Branigan said.

“Propellers and anchors can damage fi sh habitat, seabirds, dolphins and seals get tangled up in lost fi shing line, and rec-reational fi shing can remove important predator species from the marine food chain.

“More can be done to ensure that impacts, including those from recreational and commer-cial fi shing, are minimised and well managed.”

STAGE fright has taken on a whole new meaning for Maddy Kelly. As someone who managed to con quer anxiety, she now stands in front of audi-ences playing three roles centred on the troubled thoughts of a young boy.

Kelly plays the boy’s mother, teacher and best friend in the stage adaptation of Go Away Mr Worrythoughts!, the children’s book written by Nicky Johnston to help her own son overcome his fears.

“It was not until I was auditioning that I real-ised how much I could relate to it,” the 21-year-old former Woodleigh School student said.

“Dealing with anxiety had been a big struggle for me, but I have ways of dealing with it. On stage I still get nervous, but then the adrenalin kicks in.”

It seems as though Kelly’s anxiety has led her to take on challenges that draw attention, rather than hide with inner thoughts and worries.

When not acting, she can be found on vari-ous stages around Melbourne performing with her sister Memphis in the duo Wishful. Kelly

describes their music as “folksy, lots of harmo-nies, whimsical”.

When auditioning for Mr Worrythoughts!, Kel-ly performed a song she had written to help cope with her own anxiety.

The play is directed by Kaarin Fairfax, of Mt Eliza, and stars Kelly and Nic Denton. The key fi gure is Bayden (Nic Hope Denton) who wor-ries so much and about so many things it is like a monster following him everywhere and stealing his fun.

Over time, Bayden learns he can beat the worry thoughts through visualisation and works out how to stop the thoughts creeping back into his mind.

Maddy plays the roles of Bayden’s mum, teach-er and his best friend Tara.

Go Away Mr Worrythoughts! is at Frankston Arts Centre at 6pm Wednesday 5 June. Tickets are $8. Book at www.thefac.com.au or call 9784 1060.

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, May 31st 1913.A FIRE occurred at Williams Grove, Chelsea, at midnight on Sunday when a four-roomed cottage, owned by Mr T. Johnson, of Murphy Street, South Yarra, and a detached kitchen owned by Mr Scott, were totally destroyed. The cottage was let to a party of week enders, but they had left during the evening for Melbourne, so that the time of the outbreak the house was un-occupied. The fi re was fi rst noticed by Mr John Gideon, who gave the alarm, but by the time the fi re brigade arrived, the fl ames had a fi rm hold, and noth-ing could be done to save the houses already alight. The brigade, however, considering the primitive means at their disposal, did good work, and it was owing to their efforts that a bun-galow alongside the burning building, and occupied by a party of young la-dies, was saved. The cause of the fi re is unknown.

***AS we were going to press, word was received by us that the Mentone rail-way station had been burnt down. The fi re occurred in the early hours of this morning but no particulars are yet to hand.

***WE are compelled to hold over til’ next week the report of the address by Rev. Joseph Nicholson, on the Scrip-ture Referendum, which was delivered at Frankston on Wednesday evening and at Mornington on Thursday even-ing, and other interesting items.

***WE have made arrangements that all available election returns be sent to

us this (Saturday) evening. The tel-egrams, as they are received, will be posted up by us at our offi ce, so that Frankston residents will have an idea as to how the voting is going.

***THE Naval Base is rapidly improving the Crib Point district and it is growing by leap and bounds.

***MR D. Edelsten, optician, will visit Mornington on Monday, June 2nd, and may be consulted at Tait’s phar-macy from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

***THE Anthem, “Seek ye the Lord,” will be sung by St. Paul’s Church choir on Sunday evening next, 1st June. Mr W. G. Jennings will take the solo part.

***THE annual meeting of the Frankston Tennis Club will be held at the Me-chanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening, 11th June.

***MISS Florence Vines, a pupil at the Somerville State school, was awarded second prize for a map of Africa by the Victoria League of Victoria in connec-tion with Empire Day.

***DENTISTRY – F. N. Fairs wishes to notify his patients that, in future, he will visit Somerville every Monday, also that no visit will be made on King’s Birthday, June 8th.

***THE wholesale confectionery fi rm, Messrs Allen Burroughs and Co., of Melbourne, donated a large box of choice lollies to the Frankstou Em-pire Day committee. The lollies were distributed amongst the children, and were much appreciated by them.

***

MESSRS Brody and Mason will con-duct a gigantic sale at their rooms, Bay Street, Frankston, on Wednesday, 4th June, when they will offer furniture, implements, poultry, carts, etc., on account of various owners. This sale will commence at 12 o’clock sharp.

***MR E. Pound, an employee in the sig-nal box at the Frankston railway sta-tion, met with a painful accident on Sunday. He was attending to one of the semaphores, when by some means he lost his footing on the ladder, and fell heavily to the ground, with the result that his ankle was sprained. He will be unable to attend to his duties for some time, and during his absence his place has been taken by Mr G. Spendlove, who was stationed in the box some time ago.

***ELABORATE preparations are being made by the Mornington Loyal Cel-ebration League, for the celebrations to be held on King’s Birthday, June 9th. A very interesting and amusing programme of sports will be held in the park in the afternoon, and a bio-scope entertainment (free to children) in the evening. A procession of all school children from Mornington, Moorooduc, Osborne and Mt Eliza, will also take place prior to the sports.

***THE transfer of the State School from Golden Point to Crib Point appears to have been well advised and with the ample room provided in the new Crib Hall, as now leased to the Edu-cation Department by Miss Peterson, the school attendance has rapidly in-creased to over 50 children, and there are more to follow. Last Tuesday the parents and scholars met, in response

to the teacher’s (Mr Keogh) invita-tion, and elected a new school com-mittee of seven, to replace the fomer committee, which resigned in a body as a protest against what was said to be discourtesy on the part of the Edu-cation Department. The new com-mittee consist of Mrs F. Vincent and Messrs Vincent (president), Osterland (treasurer), Woodger (correspondent), Lyel, Wilson, and Miller. A vote of thanks was recorded the old commit-tee, and responded to by the retiring president. Athough time was short, the new committee soon got to work and made some effort to celebrate Empire Day. On Friday afternoon, at the invitation of Mr Keogh, the Na-tional Flag of Australia was hoisted by the president’s wife (Mrs Vincent) amidst the cheers of the assembled school children and parents, and after the formal saluting of the fl ag, sweets were distributed amongst the chil-dren, and an adjournment made till the evening, when the hat, kindly lent, by Miss Peterson was lighted, and games for the children and dancing for the adults was indulged in until well af-ter 10 o’clock. The proceedings were enlivened by music – the new piano – another kind loan of Miss Peterson’s - being availed of for the occasion. Songs (patriotic and otherwise) by the children, and solos by Mr Williamson, helped to keep the enjoyment going, and after a little light refreshment the proceedings terminated. All appeared well pleased with the day’s outing.

***THE need of a resident medical offi cer is a pressing necessity, and the expect-ed appointment by the Naval Depart-ment is anxiously looked forward to.

***

A VIGILANCE Committee for this part of the Peninsula is also needed, as the sanitary condition and hygienic arrangements for the new settlement of Luna Park will soon need adjusting and an epidemic forstalled.

***HIS Natural Life (illustrated), the only complete and original text of Marcus Clarke’s famous Australian story, is a feature of the June issue of The Aus-tralian Journal, which is a notable example of the general improvement in Australian publications, both as to artistic and literary excellence. The fi rst instalment of this vivid story of the convict days of Victoria opens in this issue. Also in the serial section, is the commencement of a smart and attractive novel, entitled Phillip Steere a pleasing romance of the north-west frontier. Among novels to be included in the near future is an Australian work from the pen of Henry O’Donnell. Another novel and pleasing feature is the gratuitous issue of Gordon’s copyright prems, a completevesion in monthly parts with artistic illustra-tions, the June issue containing the “Roll of the Kettledrum.” The short stories are, as usual, excellent as to themes and construction, and the la-dies’ pages, dealing with fashions, dress, and household matters, will be found both useful and entertaining by the feminine members of a family circle The now coloured cover is par-ticularly attractive, and the extension of the contents to 92 pages evidences the increasing popularity of the. oldest Australian monthly publication.

I HAVE been fortunate enough to see Rod Stewart in concert three times. For a performer in his late sixties, Rod is still strutting and prancing on stage, he is still the quintessence of a rock star in concert.

Although he claims to be from Scotland, Stewart was born and bred in North London and actually went to school with Kinks lead singer, Ray Davies.

Rod Stewart has completed his fi rst album of new material in almost 20 years. The landmark new album, titled Time marks Stewart’s long-awaited return to his songwriting roots and features 12 tracks, 11 of which he wrote and produced and has hit No.1 on the charts.

Stewart’s fi rst two singles, She makes Me Happy and The Finest Woman, have been released to radio worldwide. Stewart is over the moon at scoring his fi rst UK No.1 album since 1979.

Rod admitted he was very proud to be back at the top of the charts with Time, his fi rst album of originals for over 20 years.

It is his fi rst new studio album to hit No.1 since A Night on the Town in 1976. The single from that album Tonight’s The Night was No.1 for eight weeks. Other hits singles from the album included The First Cut is the Deepest and The Killing of Georgie, a ballad of the senseless murder of a homosexual friend.

Time is a landmark release in Stewart’s career, born from a burst of inspiration from which he rediscovered his voice as a songwriter and rekindled his gift for writing the honest, nerve-touching narratives that have been the cornerstone to the fi rst three decades of his career. Since 1991, Stewart, the lyricist and melodist behind such staples as Tonight’s The Night, You Wear it Well and the indelible Maggie May, had simply lost his songwriting muse. But, beginning in 2011, during the period he began working on what would become his internationally

best-selling autobiography, Rod, it returned.

Said Stewart, “Something about that process of reviewing my life for the book reconnected me and that was it: I was away. Suddenly ideas for lyrics were piling up in my head. Next thing I knew, I had a song called ‘It’s Over’ about divorce and separation. And now I was getting up in the middle of the night and scrambling for a pen to write things down, which has never happened to me. I fi nished seven or eight songs very quickly and I still wasn’t done and it became apparent that I would eventually have a whole album of material to record, which had never happened before.”

The album was produced by Stewart and co-produced by Kevin Savigar (Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Peter Frampton).

Time by Rod Stewart in stores now.

***“NEVER thought that I’d ever sing again. But hearing the fi rst three songs, I just couldn’t say no!”

With these words, one of popular music’s most recognisable, celebrated names of the past 40 years. Agnetha Faltskogs signals her return to the spotlight. The ABBA singer has returned with a new album, A (Universal) released this month, preceded by a curtain-raising track, When You Really Loved Someone which is now available internationally as a single to buy.

Max Hole, Chairman and Chief Executive Offi cer, Universal Music Group International, added: “You can imagine the excitement that all of us felt at the prospect of Agnetha making new music. So we were determined that she would choose Universal to bring that music to the world, and

we are gratifi ed that she did. This is a dream project for so many people inside our company, and for Agnetha’s fans around the globe.”

Agnetha has been working with renowned, Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer Jorgen Elofsson – who has been responsible for hits by Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion and Westlife, among others – and acclaimed producer/arranger Peter Nordahl on her brand new album.

“She wanted to make music again,” says Elofsson, “We could feel that. She had been thinking about it. Basically, she’s a musician, a songwriter/singer who hasn’t done that for a while. We saw her open up, become much happier, with music again in her life.”

The album features one of Agnetha fi rst co-writes in many years: “I hadn’t written any music for a long, long time,” she says. “But I sat at the piano, and suddenly it was there.”

Anticipated by millions of ABBA fans worldwide, Agnetha’s brand new material is now available on A.

Max Hole, CEO, Universal Music Group International, added: “You can imagine the excitement that all of us felt at the prospect of Agnetha making new music. So we were determined that she would choose Universal to bring that music to the world, and we are gratifi ed that she did. This is a dream project for so many people inside our company, and for Agnetha’s fans around the globe.”

Best tracks When You Really Loved Someone, Back on Your Radio, Dance Your Pain Away, I Should’ve Followed You Home (featuring Gary Barlow) and The One Who Loves You Know.

***A GUITAR played by Beatles pair John Lennon and George Harrison has sold for more than $417,500 at a New York auction.

The Beatles Vox guitar, a custom prototype made in 1966 was later given to Alex Mardas, a friend of the band.

Harrison can be seen rehearsing with the guitar on I Am the Walrus during the Magical Mystery Tour in 1967.

***THE Beatles’ second feature fi lm, 1965’s Help, is on the way on Blu-ray. On June 21, Help makes its eagerly awaited Blu-ray debut in a single-disc package pairing the digitally restored fi lm and 5.1 soundtrack with an hour of extra features, including a 30-minute documentary about the making of the fi lm, memories of the cast and crew, an in-depth look at the restoration process, an outtake scene, and original theatrical trailers and radio spots. An introduction by the fi lm’s director, Richard Lester, and an appreciation by Martin Scorsese are included in the Blu-ray’s booklet.

Help’s Blu-ray edition follows the 2012 release of The Beatles’ digitally restored Yellow Submarine and Magical Mystery Tour feature fi lms on Blu-ray, DVD and iTunes with extensive extras. Help’s restoration for its 2007 DVD debut wowed viewers, earning fi ve-times platinum sales in the U.S.

Performance

By Gary Turner

By Stuart McCulloughI AM good. In fact, I am nice, I am kind and I am thoughtful to others. You could go so far as to say that I am just one big ball of wonderful, a ray of sunshine that heats a solar cell that provides crucial electricity to needy orphans and the abandoned penguins they just rescued. Yes siree, I am noth-ing short of a beautiful, splendid, awe-some human being twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week and three hundred and sixty fi ve days per year. Except, of course, when I’m driving.

Something goes terribly wrong when I get behind the wheel of a car. Like Bill Bixby, I fi nd myself sud-denly transforming into Lou Ferrigno without a moment’s notice. This in-cludes turning green and ripping my shirt. It’s a transformation that I can’t even begin to comprehend. There is something about driving in traffi c that I fi nd inherently infuriating. I am sure that the expression ‘driven to an early grave’ is more than a mere turn of phrase and accurately depicts the toll that the everyday commute can take.

It’s no good being judgmental in this life. People should be largely free to live as they wish. But as admirable a philosophy as this is, I abandon it the moment I turn the ignition. As soon as I’m on the road, I am constantly eval-

uating other drivers. This begins with an assessment of their driving tech-nique and quickly devolves into the most brutal of character assessments. Changing lanes without indicating becomes so much more than a mere oversight or miscalculation but char-acter fl aw of such awesome dimen-sions that it defi nes the other driver entirely. In my mind there is no doubt that a person who fails to indicate suf-fers the kind of moral turpitude that causes them to fl at-out refuse to sort the rubbish from the recyclables and wear socks made from baby seal fur whilst dining on endangered monkey meat using rhino horn for a spoon.

That said, I realize that this could be

something of an over-reaction on my part.

Traffi c is, perhaps, the quickest re-minder that not everyone thinks the way you do. That others routinely defy your expectations as they merge, break the speed limit or zip in and out of lanes tells you we are not all alike. In theory I believe that we are all indi-viduals, entitled to freedom of thought, feeling and allegiance but, that said, if everyone else could simply see it my way when driving, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sadly, I don’t always keep my thoughts to myself. From time to time, language borrowed from gangsta rap’s fi nest has passed my lips, requiring me

to not so much wash my mouth out as eat an entire bar of soap upon return-ing home. There has even been the oc-casional song composed on the spot that, given the contents, is best left forgotten. Suffi ce to say, the lyrics and melody of ‘The Brown Camira’ are not something I plan to share with anyone soon. Then, perhaps most shamefully of all, there have been hand gestures. Lots of them.

There is, so I am told, a video game called ‘Angry Birds’. Sadly, for me this term is not a reference to a time-wasting phone app as it is a descrip-tion of my entire driving career. Other drivers could not be blamed for think-ing I only had one fi nger, such is my propensity for whipping out a single digit. It’s as though I am suffering some form of Tourette’s Syndrome that has taken hold of my middle fi n-ger. I can console myself with the fact that such appalling conduct only oc-curs when I am driving and at no other time. But despite my propensity for bad language, rude hand gestures and musical improvisation, I am a reluc-tant user of the car horn.

It was Shakespeare who famously once said, ‘To beep or not to beep: that is the question. Whether it is nobler in the minds of men to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous lane changes and by opposing end them. To sleep,

to drive, no more.’ For a guy that drove a Ford Focus, Shakespeare sure had a way with words. There’s an art to using a car horn. There’s the light touch I refer to as a ‘bip’. Generally speaking, it’s used as part of a farewell or to wake a fellow driver at a set of traffi c lights. Something less than a full beep, in this age of distraction it has become increasingly necessary to deploy the bip. In contrast, the long horn is a tool of anger. The longer the honk, the more infuriated the person sounding it has become.

There is a sense, sometimes, that the entire driving experience has be-come less collegiate and more like an episode of Gladiators. By that, I don’t mean extremely diffi cult to watch but simply more confrontational. Nowa-days I fi nd myself reluctant to deploy so much as a wake-up bip, even when the green light is staring me right in the face. It’s the fear of being mis-understood. That, for some, any horn may be regarded as a horn too far. Once, people gladly displayed bumper stickers that invited others to ‘Honk if you love Danish Blue Cheese’ or whatever and people would gladly join in. Not now. Beware the horns of war. Beep beep.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyPENINSULA Football League will play Geelong Football League for the number one title in Victorian country football after beating Ovens & Murray by 45 points on Saturday.

Played at the home of Carlton Football Club at Visy Park, Peninsula League opened the game up in the second quarter and went on to win in comfortable fashion, 15.10.100 to 7.13.55.

The last time Ovens and Murray journeyed south was to play a combined Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League at Frankston Park in 2011. The MPNFL won in a thriller in what is still described as one of the all-time great games of football.

It was as a result of this win over Ovens & Murray that the MPNFL was split into three different Interleague sides. It is alleged that the Ovens & Murray League wrote a letter to the Victorian Country Football League following their 2011 loss, calling for them to be split because they were too strong as a combine.

On Saturday, Peninsula League had a point to prove.

Many believed that the selected side was a ‘second string outfi t’ considering there were big name players who were forced to withdraw either through injury, club pressure or being disinterested.

To tackle one of the best leagues of all time, without the support of Casey Cardinia and Nepean League players, was a tough ask.

However, Peninsula League coach Steve Ryan was confi dent in his charges.

Peninsula League started with a squad of 60 players. With players struggling from injury or not committed to interleague football, he selected a squad of 23 that “were desperate to represent their league”.

This was changed at the 11th hour when skipper Anthony Barry (calf), Mt Eliza’s Josh Norman (hip) and Mornington teenager Jackson Calder (corky) were forced to withdraw.

This brought in emergency, Chelsea’s Fia Tootoo, along with Edithvale’s Brent Bowden and Pines’ Guy Hendry.

Pines skipper and league medallist Jimmy Messina replaced Barry as captain.

Ovens & Murray have 23 ex-AFL footballers running around this season, including the likes of Brad Ottens, Jason Akermanis, Brendan Fevola, Karl Norman, Chris Hyde, Dean Polo and Kane Pettifer, however, the only two that played on Saturday were Craig Ednie and Steve McKee.

Peninsula League kicked the fi rst three goals of the game, before allowing the O&M back into the contest with the next three goals.

Peninsula played ordinary football in the second half of the fi rst quarter and were lucky to hold a slender one point lead.

Ryan told his charges during the break to run and spread, hopeful that the leg speed he and assistant Troy Shannon selected would come to the fore.

They were right. Peninsula opened the game up, completely outran the O&M in the second term and booted fi ve goals to one to go in at half time 23 points in front.

Ryan said he knew that the O&M would go into the match with bigger bodies and the trump card he had was speed on the open spaces of Visy Park.

“When we came in at half time, we were all very confi dent in our chances of going on with it,” Ryan said.

“I reminded them that no-one expected us to win and that we were perhaps the second string side, given the injuries.

“I knew we wouldn’t lose at that point. They had a resolve and a belief about them.

“We outscored them again in the third quarter four goals to two and then again in the last, three goals to one. We totally outclassed them.

“Our run and carry was better, our desire was better and our skill level was far better.

“We had 16 blokes who were playing their very fi rst interleague game and every one of them was sensational.

“There was not one player in the team that didn’t contribute to the win.”

Ryan said Langwarrin rover Dan Wehner’s performance in the middle of the ground was fi rst class. “Wehner’s grunt work was just a highlight of the match.

“Our back six were fantastic too. Young Kallum Searle destroyed their full forward Adam Prior, who has been dominating at local level. Searle beat him in the one on one contests and ran off him all day. Timmy Mavric was also very good in defence too.”

The best man on the ground was Seaford star Brayden Irving.

“This bloke can seriously play,” Ryan said.

“He played his centre half forward

role to perfection. He has wonderful hands and he really should be playing a higher standard of footy.

“Ricky Ferraro and Shane McDonald were all class and our rucks in Dylan Jones and Beau Hendry were just too mobile for their big blokes.

“We weren’t beaten in any part of the ground,” Ryan said.

That also went for the all-in-brawl in the third quarter.

“Suffi ce to say that there were a few blokes who enjoyed the opportunity to have a crack – in fact, it was a lot more than a few,” Ryan joked.

“We certainly don’t condone that behaviour but it proved to me that we had the right 22 blokes representing our league.

“The feeling after the match and the genuine excitement from the group made the day even more special.

“I certainly know who the fi rst 22 players selected will be next year,” Ryan said.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ KellyNEPEAN League overcame a slow start to win its very fi rst stand alone match against Heathcote & District Football League on Saturday.

After a four hour bus trip to Bendigo on Saturday morning, Nepean League was slow to get out of the blocks, allowing the opposition to kick the fi rst three goals of the match.

However, on the wide open spaces of the QEO Bendigo Oval, the visitors were able to work their way back into the contest to trail by just three points at the fi rst change.

Coach Gavin Artico told his players during the break to utilise their speed and running ability and move the ball quickly through the corridor.

Artico was also looking to change things up by switching play and creating space before bringing the ball back through the middle of the ground.

The team followed instructions to the letter in the second quarter and set-up the win with a six goal to two term.

At half time, Nepean League led the home side 11.9.75 to 7.8.50.

Early in the third quarter, the

visitors lost Hastings’ full forward Tony Mirabella to an eye injury. It is nothing that will keep him out of the Hastings team this week, however, his vision was impaired after getting a poke in the eye. He kicked two goals before going off the ground.

The second half was an arm wrestle.

Heathcote & District League was hell bent on shutting down the space of the Nepean League, pushing numbers back and restricting the opposition’s dominance when entering their forward half.

Heathcote & District League sent fi ve coaches down to the Peninsula two weeks ago to have a look at the Sorrento v Rosebud and Dromana v Rye matches.

They walked away knowing that they were up against a squad that was going to run the ball.

“They (Heathcote & District FL) did their homework on us. We obviously move the ball very quickly in our league and this was a concern of theirs,” coach Gavin Artico said.

“In the second half they were able to slow us down but the damage was done in the second quarter,” Artico said.

It was seven goal to six second half, Nepean winning by 33 points, 18.17.125 to 13.14.92.

Artico said he couldn’t be more pleased with the efforts of his charges.

“They were a really great bunch of blokes, as well as being very talented footballers,” Artico said.

“The group was really motivated and really wanted to represent their league – that was important and the key to us winning the game.

“It was a real pity that all of the clubs didn’t get behind it (Interleague football), however, hopefully the success that the boys had on Saturday will turn that thought process around next year.”

Artico said he was worried when the opposition kicked the fi rst three goals of the game.

“Look, we tried to get the guys up and going as best we could but the reality was that they were all up very, very early and then spent a long time on a bus to Bendigo.

“The home side kicked with the wind in the fi rst quarter and it took us a little while to get going, however, when we did get going, we played some really good football.

“We really opened the game up in the second quarter and we should

have been further in front at the break.

“Rhett Sutton and Justin Farrelly were getting their hands on the footy fi rst in the midfi eld and our forwards looked dangerous.

“Colin McVeigh and game medallist Jason Bedford played on wings and kicked goals for us, while the likes of Daniel Waddell, Tony Mirabella and Leigh Poholke looked dangerous when the ball went in.

“We had 11 goal kickers for the match, so it certainly showed that we had great ability to kick goals.

“In defence, we were fantastic too.

“Guys like Darren Booth, Jay Neratzoglou and Rikki Johnson dominated down there and really did set up a lot of ball movement through the middle.

“Taylor Stratton got a lot of it through the middle and Frankston Bombers players Jay Reynolds and James Degenhardt were really good for us over four quarters,” he said

“It really was a fantastic effort by the guys to fi ght it right to the end.”
