RATEPAYERS face a 4.25 per cent hike in rates in 2015-16 as part of Kingston Council’s draft budget re-leased last week.

Council described the rate rise as “modest” but increased its pensioner rebate from $80 to $100 “to help re-duce the impact on pensioners”.

Rates income for 2015-16 is es-timated at about $197 million and $52.2 million will be spent on com-munity infrastructure works.

Major projects to be funded by rate-payers include the construction of a new Mordialloc Life Saving Club ($3.2 million), the completion of a portion of the Bay Trail share pedes-trian and bike path ($600,000) and a new Westall Community Hub ($4.3 million).

Millions of dollars will also be in-vested in new and expanded family and children’s services hubs through-out Kingston.

“Council has worked hard to fi nd savings right across our operations so that we can deliver to the community and keep rates low,” Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said.

The rates rise of 4.25 per cent is well above the current infl ation rate of 2.3 per cent but Kingston Council has resisted the temptation of a last-min-ute “revenue grab” before the state government’s rate capping policy is due to come into force in 2016-17.

The Labor government plans to cap

future Victorian councils’ rate rises to the rate of infl ation.

Councils will be able to apply to the Essential Services Commission to ask for higher rate rises to fund infrastruc-ture projects but there is no guarantee the ESC will approve such requests.

Councillors unanimously approved the draft budget at last Monday’s council meeting and are now keen to hear from ratepayers before the budget is fi nalised at a special council meeting on Tuesday 9 June.

“The consultation process is im-portant,” Cr Paul Peulich said at the meeting.

“We want to hear feedback from the community with regards to the pro-posed budget.”

This year’s 4.25 per cent rates rise follows a 4.25 per cent rise in 2014-15 and 4.95 per cent jump in 2013-14.

A public information session on the draft budget will be held on Wednes-day 6 May at 6pm at council’s Chel-tenham offi ces at 1230 Nepean High-way.

A copy of the draft budget is avail-able at kingston.vic.gov.au or at coun-cil’s customer services centre and li-braries.

Written submissions on the draft budget can be emailed to [email protected] or sent to Bernard Byrden, Manager Finance, Kingston City Council, PO Box 1000, Men-tone, 3194.

The deadline for submissions is 5pm on Wednesday 27 May.

A SCHOOL feast day and animal blessing at St Louis de Montfort’s, Aspendale, last week featured a blessing of the animals’ mass.

On the day, families brought along pets, including dogs, cats, mice, bunnies, lizards, turtles and a variety of birds. School animals Milo the goat, as well as chickens and bunnies, also received a bless-ing.

The event coincided with the school’s Chinese Culture Open Day and enrolment day. It also com-plemented the Chinese Mandarin LOTE program.

All classes were involved in the day of cultural activities, which included kite making and fl ying, scratch dragon magnets and craft, Chinese lanterns, cooking spring rolls, Chinese paper fans and cook-ing fried won-tons.

“It was a great day and the students had a wonderful time cele-brating St Louis’s 50th Anniversary Feast Day,” wellbeing environment and student leadership teacher Julie Wynne said.

Schools big winners in state budget

LABOR’S fi rst state budget since winning government in November has delivered funding for some major projects in Kingston.

Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said he is “over the moon” that $2.5 million in funding promised before the election to build a new station for the Edithvale CFA has been ticked off in the fi rst budget announced by Treasurer Tim Pallas.

“It’s important for community safe-ty,” he said.

Other big ticket items for Kingston in the state government budget in-clude the confi rmation of $4.5 million

for Mordialloc College to install bas-ketball courts, build a performing arts centre and refurbish the Year 7 learn-ing centre and $500,000 to Parkdale Primary School to complete the con-struction of their prep wing.

Before last year’s election former Mordialloc Liberal MP Lorraine Wr-eford had doubted Labor’s pledge to complete the redevelopment of Park-dale Primary, calling the promise “un-funded” and “uncosted”.

Mr Richardson said the commit-ment of $1.5 billion over four years to complete the design and early works of the Melbourne Metro Rail project “is a key project to ease congestion in the local area”.

Labor claims its budget is “the

foundation for a stronger and fairer Victoria” and Mr Pallas said it fo-cused on “the basic building blocks of our society — jobs, schools, hospi-tals, transport”.

“This Budget is about balance,” Premier Daniel Andrews said in a statement issued on budget day.

“We’re increasing funding for schools, hospitals and transport, but we’re keeping our fi nances stable. It’s an investment we can afford in the things we can’t afford to lose.”

Liberal opposition leader Matthew Guy also released a statement on budget day.

“This budget isn’t about putting people fi rst, it’s about Daniel An-drews playing politics,” Mr Guy said.

“Melburnians have been double-crossed by Daniel Andrews. There are no guaranteed funds or start dates for level-crossing removals besides those previously funded by the Coali-tion.”

The Liberals also railed against the axing of the East West Link road pro-ject.

“Just last month, Daniel Andrews claimed losses were limited to $339 million but in today’s budget that fi g-ure can’t be quantifi ed,” Mr Guy said.

There was no mention in the state-ment of the Liberals’ so-called “side letter” guaranteeing hundreds of mil-lions in compensation to the consorti-um behind the East West Link even if the $6.8 billion project was scrapped.

Cyclists down PARAMEDICS are urging motorists to take care after being called to fi ve collisions in 17 minutes on a foggy Monday morning.

Four people needed medical atten-tion, including three cyclists, they said. One cyclist was involved in a collision with a car at 6.27am at the intersection of McDonald St and Nepean Hwy, Mordialloc. The rider was taken to The Alfred hospital in a stable condition.

At 6.32am a car collided with two cyclists in Nepean Hwy, Aspendale.

The riders were treated by para-medics and also taken to The Alfred hospital in a stable condition.

EDITHVALE Family and Children’s Centre was opened last week by Fami-lies and Children Minister Jenny Mi-kakos, Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gle-dhill and Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richardson.

The $6.5 million centre - close to the Edithvale Recreational Reserve’s jun-ior sporting facilities - aims to create a family and children-focused service precinct.

Families will receive 110 four-year-old kindergarten places, 110 three-year-old kindergarten places, maternal and child health service, early child-hood intervention services and long-day care.

The project was built to ensure local children’s services had the space and fl exibility they needed to deliver 15 hours of kindergarten a week, as well as other early years’ programs.

The state government is calling on the federal government to provide on-going funding for 15 hours of kinder-garten weekly, which it says will “end the uncertainty affecting kindergartens and communities across the state”.

Ms Mikakos the “fantastic new cen-tre” would give hundreds of Edithvale families access to quality children’s services close to home.

“Fifteen hours of kindergarten makes a real difference to how chil-dren develop and grow, and to how they fare at school,” she said.

“I urge the Abbott Government to provide funding certainty to Victorian families, and ensure our kids can con-tinue to access 15 hours of kindergar-ten beyond this year.”

Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said Mordialloc families “really value

New centre opens doors to families

their early childhood services and I’m pleased to be here at the opening of the terrifi c new Family and Children’s Cen-tre in Edithvale”.

Applications for kindergarten places in Kingston for next year are now open.

Kingston Council offers one central enrolment point which covers 26 local kindergartens and ensures a fair allo-cation process based on a series of set criteria.

Parents can nominate their top three preferred kindergartens. Last year 97 per cent of families received a place at their fi rst choice kindergarten.

Applications for next year’s fi rst round allocation are open now and will be accepted until 30 June, with all ap-plications included, regardless of the date they are received.

To be eligible for funded four-year-old kindergarten, children must turn

four by 30 April in the year they start kindergarten.

Places are prioritised, based on a set of criteria, including Kingston families who live within two kilometres of the kinder, Kingston families with a prior connection to the kindergarten and residents of Kingston.

To fi nd out which kindergartens are within a two kilometre radius of home see kingston.vic.gov.au/nearme

A BAKERY company that failed to replace guarding on a dough process-ing machine was convicted and fi ned $60,000 following an incident in which an employee had his arm severed.

Laurent Boulangerie Pty Ltd plead-ed guilty in Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court last month to one rolled up charge of failing to provide employ-ees with a working environment that was safe and without risks to health and failing to maintain plant that was safe and without risks to health.

It was also ordered to pay $4,473 in costs.

The court was told that on 1 December 2013 a dough processing machine at the company’s Braeside bakery was halted so a bearing could be replaced on the machine’s con-veyor belt.

The work was completed but guarding beneath the conveyor was deliberately left off by an employee because regular maintenance work on the machine was to be conducted the following morning. Staff were told to alert employees to stay clear of the area where the guarding had been removed.

That evening, a wet dough mixture began clogging the machine’s con-veyor belt so it was halted so the belt and rollers could be cleaned.

However, soon after the machine was turned back on, an employee at-tempting to further clean beneath the conveyor had his arm caught by the rollers. The man’s arm was severed and he was trapped for more than 40 minutes before being freed and transported to hospital.His amputated arm could not be reattached.

WorkSafe’s Executive Director of Health and Safety, Len Neist, said poorly guarded machines were a major source of serious workplace injury.

Determined, Luke beats the odds after accidentDetermined, Luke beats the odds after accidentIT was just an early morning bike ride to start the day on Friday 6 March. But when Luke Matthews’ was hit by a concrete truck as he was riding along Beleura Hill Rd, Mornington, a frantic battle for life began (‘Cyclist clings to life after early morning collision, The News 18/3/15).

Mr Matthews was placed in an induced coma and airlifted to The Alfred. The 34-year-old Mt Eliza man, who moved to Mt Eliza from Mentone in 2008, was operated on for head and facial injuries, includ-ing the removal of part of his skull to relieve swelling on his brain.

Family friend Rowena Beach told The News at the time that doctors were only giving Mr Matthews a 50 per cent chance of survival.

“If Luke does pull through, it ap-pears likely we are looking at a life-time of disability,” Ms Beach said.

In the days that followed, attempts to bring Mr Matthews out of the in-duced coma failed; his body reacting badly when doctors tried to lower his sedation levels.

“Things took a turn for the worse when a serious chest infection set in, which is a side effect of having the breathing tube in,” Ms Beach said.

“It was terribly diffi cult. Luke has three young kids. The fear and uncer-tainty they face is just heartbreaking.

“Luke’s wife [Karen] has to pick up the pieces and carry on as well as she can.”

Mr Matthews’ family stayed by his

side and hoped in the face of a bleak future.

After about a week, doctors man-aged to slowly bring him out of his induced coma.

The fi rst victory was a simple squeeze of a hand that showed that Mr Matthews could respond; a huge achievement considering the extent of his injuries and the fact his left side was still paralysed.

Then Mr Matthews’ eyes would start following people around the room.

Two weeks after the accident, Mr

Matthews was moved from inten-sive care to a neurological ward and received his fi rst visit from three very relieved little girls.

“The kids handled themselves very well. They were gentle and under-standing of Luke’s injuries. As any parent would know, asking a four-year-old to be gentle is quite a task,” Mr Matthews’ wife, Karen, said.

Nearly two months since the ac-cident, Mr Matthews is back home with his family. He arrived home to his wife and daughters on Wednesday

29 April after making a remarkable recovery against the odds.

“We are thrilled with Luke’s pro-gress,” Mrs Matthews said.

“Although he has made a remark-able recovery, he still has a lot of healing to do.

“Initially, the neurosurgeons gave him a very slim chance of recovery so he has surprised everyone.

“While the critical stage has now passed, it is still very early days in terms of healing. Recovering from a brain injury takes many months and

years and Luke will continue his reha-bilitation at home for the foreseeable future.”

Mr Matthews will also require sur-gery in August to replace two sections of skull that were removed after the accident.

“We are very very lucky and eternally grateful to have had such an amazing team of paramedics, surgeons, ICU staff and rehabilitation staff who together ensured an optimal outcome for Luke,” Mrs Matthews said.

“But Luke’s incredible determina-tion and will to live cannot be under-estimated. He has shown amazing strength, willpower and desire to be around to watch his little girls grow up.”

Mrs Matthews is also keen to thank to wider community for its support.

“It has been overwhelming. I haven’t had to cook a meal in nearly two months. The support has been phenomenal.”

Mr Matthews’ employer, ANZ Bank, has also indicated its intention to leave his role open for his eventual return, offering him an incentive to strive towards recovery.

“There are still some hurdles to get over,” Mrs Matthews said.

“But where we are heading towards now is the best outcome we could have hoped for.”

Friends of the family have estab-lished a Go Fund Me page is being used to raise much needed funds for the family.

THE annual Harvest Festival is bring-ing a little bit of country to Kingston with bluegrass and rockabilly artists performing 11am-10pm, Saturday 9 May, at Roy Dore Reserve, Carrum.

The Harvest line up this year includes Australian rockers Boom Crash Opera, alt-country’s Raised by Eagles and blues singer Fiona Boyes and The Fortune Tellers.

Mayor Geoff Gledhill said the Har-vest Festival - now in its ninth year - was a much-loved annual event and a great day out for people of all ages. “Come and be entertained by non-stop music across two stages, watch chef demonstrations in the Harvest Kitchen and enjoy delicious food, wine and boutique beers,” he said.

“We have also got plenty of ac-tivities for the kids, including a chil-dren’s theatre show, billy cart making

and riding workshops, plus plenty of carnival rides to enjoy.

“This is the fi nal event in Kingston Council’s fantastic Season of Festi-vals and we invite everyone to join us for another great event where our community can gather together and celebrate.”

No animals or BYO alcohol are al-lowed. The Harvest Festival is hosted by Kingston Council.

Entry is $2 per person and $5 for families.

LAW and order was in the spotlight last Thursday when Police Minister Wade Noonan visited Frankston train station to thank police for their work to keep commuters and passerbys safe.

Crime statistics show an 18 per cent fall in disorderly and offensive con-duct and a 15 per drop in weapons of-fences last year.

“The decrease in public order and se-curity offences refl ects the hard work carried out by police in the Frankston area in detecting and preventing these types of crimes,” Mr Noonan said.

Labor won government at Novem-ber’s state election so the majority of the fall in crime in 2014 occurred under the previous Coalition govern-ment.

Protective services offi cers (PSOs)

were introduced by the former Napthine government at Frankston train station in August 2013.

Police patrolled Frankston beaches over the summer months to combat theft and anti-social behaviour.

A police “brawler van” is also now regularly on standby near pubs and clubs to help stop drug and alcohol-fuelled fi ghts in Frankston.

“Frankston police have responded to community safety issues with sev-eral initiatives aimed at problem be-haviours where they occur most,” Mr Noonan said.

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said the $50 million revamp of the Frankston train station precinct and Young St will “ensure all community members feel safe”.

“The precinct is the heart of the Frankston community and we want it to be a state-of-the-art transport hub, encouraging jobs and bringing Chisholm TAFE closer to the commu-nity,” he said.

Earlier this year, Frankston po-lice inspector Tony Silva told The News there could be a perception that Frankston train station is a dangerous place but crime data showed offences on the Frankston line “is not dispro-portionate to reported offending on other lines”.

“From what we can see, Frankston is no more prone to criminal activity than any other area of the transport network.”

Police push on crime

PLANS for the long-awaited new train station at Southland shopping centre are taking shape with councils keen to have their say.

Kingston and Bayside councils have made public submissions to Public Transport Victoria voicing their con-cerns about aspects of the $21 million project.

Kingston Council welcomed the state government’s investment in the new train station but is concerned pe-destrian access to the station platform will solely be through Westfi eld’s pri-vate car park at Southland shopping centre.

Council has proposed the station should be moved slightly further north to give access to both ends of the sta-tion platform.

“We believe this will fundamen-tally improve access and safety as pedestrians could have better access to Bay Road at the northern end of the platform, or walk safely to Southland through the Jean Street Reserve from the southern end of the platform,” Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said.

“Under the current plans pedestrians would have to walk through the South-land car park which would create safe-ty issues. Providing appropriate links to buses is also an essential factor.”

The potential loss of about 30 car

park spaces at Cheltenham station is also a concern for council.

Cr Gledhill said Cheltenham “is the major park-and-ride station in the re-gion”.

“We believe addressing the parking issues at Cheltenham as a priority, in tandem with the Southland project, will ensure adequate parking is pro-vided at Cheltenham for commuters while Southland is used as a destina-tion station.”

Kingston Council is also pushing for the new train station to be offi cially named Southland Station to give it “a sense of place”.

A state government spokesman told The News the name of the train station is being discussed and has not yet been fi nalised.

Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richard-son said consultation on the new train station at Southland is still open.

“We welcome input and views from the community including local coun-cils.”

Once complete the new station at Southland will become the fourth bus-iest station on the Frankston line, with 4000 passengers per day expected to use the station.

The former Coalition government failed to build a new train station at Southland in its sole term in power de-spite having committed $13 million to the project before the 2010 state elec-tion.

The Labor government hopes the new station will be open by 2017.

A VINTAGE dress, hat and shirt that “cost next to nothing” helped Chelsea resident Christie Viney win the Wom-en Fashions on the Field contest at the Pakenham Cup on Sunday 26 April.

With a little help from a dress-maker friend, Ms Viney turned the items into an eye-catching autumnal display on her way to winning some of the contest’s $15,000 in prizes. She received personal training sessions, millinery vouchers, skin care products, sunglasses and Pilates vouchers as Lady of the Day.

“I’m thrilled with the millinery voucher as it will help me get set up for the Spring Racing Carnival,” she said.

“I bought the 1950s hat on eBay - it had never been worn. And the polyes-ter top with a Californian tag was from a fete, and it’s as old as the hills, so it didn’t cost much.

“I really like the autumn colours. There are not many opportunities to wear autumn fashions in Melbourne as most racing fashion is for spring, and, also, there’s little chance of anyone else turning up with the same type of outfi t.”

Ms Viney attends “all the major race days” and said she planned to go to the Pakenham Cup with her family but the weather was “so atrocious” she went with girlfriends. “I’m glad I did.”

This is the fi rst time the Pakenham Cup has been run at its new base on 246 hectares at Tynong. Jockey Brad Rawiller scored on $3.80 favourite Tooleybuc Kid by half a length from Kareeming ($15) and Lucciola ($9.50) in the 2000m race.

A YOUTH leaders’ forum to cel-ebrate National Youth Week in Isaacs last week attracted more than 50 high school students from 14 schools in years 10-12.

The forum – initiated by Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus and held at Mordialloc Secondary College on Friday - had the theme: ‘It Starts With Us.’

It aimed to showcase potential young leaders and encourage high school students to become more ac-tive in their communities.

A question-and-answer panel ses-sion discussed the topic: ‘What is-sues matter to young people today?’ It was led by Gaby Perdomo, Arielle Rutman, Daniel Poole and Hunter Johnson. They also discussed other topics relevant to young Australians, such as International development, environment, mental health and tech-nology, and took questions from the fl oor.

“Young people are very connected to what’s happening around them and it’s great to be able to hold a forum for National Youth Week to discuss the issues that matter to young people in our community,” Mr Dreyfus said.

“It was wonderful to see so many eager and enthusiastic young peo-ple sharing their views at my forum. I thank Arielle, Daniel, Gaby and Hunter for attending and for sharing their knowledge and experience.

“I am often contacted by young residents about issues such as climate change, the National Broadband Net-work and Gonski school reforms. It’s important that the government hears what young people care about, and I am glad that this forum has been able

to provide a platform for local young residents to have their voices heard.”

Mr Dreyfus described the National Youth Week as an annual celebration of young people throughout Australia - a joint initiative of the federal, state, territory and local governments – giving young people an opportunity to express their ideas and views, and highlights their achievements.

It is the second forum he has held, after last year’s success.

Each year, events are hosted around Australia to celebrate and recognise the contribution of young people. More than 20,000 young people from metropolitan, regional and rural Vic-toria joined in National Youth Week activities.

Forum forms young perspective

The scientifi c research organisation suffered a $115 million budget cut over four years in last year’s federal budget and the CSIRO Staff Association is watching to see whether further CSIRO cuts will be included in Federal Treas-urer Joe Hockey’s budget next Tuesday (12 May).

There have been job losses at the CSIRO’s marine and atmospheric re-search laboratories at Aspendale as a result of last year’s budget cuts (‘Jobs axed as science cuts hit home’, The News 21/6/14).

CSIRO Staff Association spokesman Anthony Keenan said work bans includ-ing a refusal to work unpaid overtime is the fi rst phase of industrial action.

“It’s targeting cooperation with man-agement rather than scientifi c output. There has been some good participation in those bans at Aspendale.”

Mr Keenan said the work bans will continue throughout May in the hope management drop “the agenda of cuts”.

If next week’s federal budget mim-ics last year’s effort with more CSIRO budget cuts Mr Keenan said he is sure there will be “an escalation” of industrial action including the possibility of strikes or work stoppages.

The union is fi ghting CSIRO moves to slash redundancy terms, increase work-ing hours and shorten leave allowance under a broader federal government pub-

lic sector bargaining policy. Future proposed pay rises will not ex-

ceed 1 per cent annually.“There are lots of CSRIO staff who

felt after the budget cuts [last year] that they’d been unfairly targeted and despite what the government might say they do have a bit of a perception problem. They are seen as being anti-science.”

Mr Keenan said that perception of the Abbott government “may be unfair” but “playing politics so hard around climate change” and the decision not to appoint a dedicated minister for science after win-ning government makes the public think the government “has a problem with sci-ence”.

“People just feel that it’s cutting their future … there’s very few people who would argue that spending on science and research is a bad investment,” he said.

New CSIRO CEO Dr Larry Marshall has indicated management is unwilling to push back against the government’s bargaining policy, according to the un-ion.

CSIRO spokesman Huw Morgan said management “is working within exist-ing legislative and policy requirements to come up with the best possible offer for our staff”.

“We hope that through further nego-tiations we will be soon be in a position to table an offer. We continue to discuss bargaining matters affecting our staff and unions at the negotiating table.”

The next meeting between CSIRO management and the union will take place later this month.


‘Unfair’ climate at CSIRO, more budget cuts feared


AFTER four years of planning and fund-raising the Frankston RSL’s Johnny Famechon statue project is getting closer to reality.

Stephen Glassborow will soon fi nish sculpting the 2.1 metre clay model and is getting ready to make the mould for the 600kg bronze pour. When complete the statue will look exactly like the 2.1 metre clay model.

Former triple world boxing cham-pion Jeff Fenech, Famechon and son Paul, and statue coordinator Gary Luscombe, met at the artist’s studio last week to see how things were progressing.

Famechon was world WBC featherweight champion 1969-70 and Fenech WBC featherweight cham-pion 1988-89.

After the pour the statue will be tak-en to Ballam Park and then unveiled.

Those wanting to sponsor or donate should visit johnnyfamechonstatue.com or see the Facebook page Johnny Famechon statue project.

Others may want to support the project by buying limited edition memorabilia, or sponsoring one of 68 plaques to be set into the base of the statue. These will serve as a perma-nent record of his bouts, recording the date, venue, result and name of each of his opponents.

Sponsors names will be recorded in recognition of their support. To spon-sor a plaque email [email protected]

It is hoped Fenech will be guest speaker at a fundraising event at Frankston RSL towards the end of the year.

He has just been awarded the title of ‘WBC greatest featherweight boxer of the past 30 years’ and his image will be used to promote WBC feather-weight title bouts.

Good likeness: Jeff Fenech, Johnny Famechon and son Paul Famechon inspect the statue at sculptor Stephen Glassborow’s studio.

A PINK Stumps Day cricket match at Patterson River Secondary College on Monday raised $600 for the Jane McGrath Foundation.

The match pitted the college’s female staff against the Year 12 girls at lunch-time – with the teachers winning.

“PE teacher Cameron Cox got behind it as breast cancer affects so many peo-ple and we all know people who have suffered with the disease,” teacher Ja-net Mitchell said.

“All students embraced the challenge – with the boys selling cakes and help-ing with the face-painting. The male staff umpired and the students wore a touch of pink to support the cause.

“Cricket, and the foundation, were the real winners of the day.” Pink is the colour: Patterson River Secondary teachers and students go into bat in aid of the Jane McGrath Foundation.

AUSTRALIAN of the Year 2015 Ro-sie Batty is guest speaker at South-ern Lights Church on Mother’s Day, 10am, Sunday 10 May. The church is at 20 McCormicks Rd, Skye.

Ms Batty – who is also the Pride of Australia National Courage Medal recipient - is regarded a leader in the crusade against domestic violence and has turned the personal tragedy of

the loss of her son Luke into a fi ght to help others.

Southern Lights’ Pastor Karen Nicholes said Rosie had risen above the loss of her 11-year-old son, Luke, who was the victim of domestic vio-lence at the hands of his father in a very public assault.

Her name has become synonymous with the words courage and resilience.

Ms Batty continues to champion ef-forts against domestic violence, she said. She and former Victorian Po-lice Chief Ken Lay have been named as founding members of an advisory panel on preventing violence against women.

“Rosie’s incredible strength and selfl ess efforts are an inspiration to many people,” she said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Balmoral house open to the publicBalmoral house open to the publicCompiled by Melissa Walsh

IN our report of the Langwarrin con-cert we omitted to state that Mr Reid contributed two songs in well balanced style.

***A PALTRY robbery was perpetrated some time on Saturday night last, at the Bay View Hotel, when the gas slot in the billiard room was broken open, and the contents, amounting to about 22/ were abstracted.

***THE secretary of the Frankston Foot-ball Club acknowledges with thanks the following donations —-Mr Hunt £2 2s, Dr Maxwell £1 1s, Mrs Jacobs 10s 6d, Mr S. Lawrey 10 6d. Collected by Mr J. Lambert—£1 15s 9d.

***TENDERS will be received until Thursday, 13th May, by the Depart-ment of Public Works for repairs to the jetty and approach at Portsea, and also repairs to jetty at Frankston, and up to the 20th May for additions to jetty at Stony Point.

***WE have been requested to intimate that owing to all the tickets not being yet disposed of for the raffl e for the Eiderdown Quilt in aid of the Belgian Fund the drawing has been postponed till Saturday 12th June.

***MR A. S. Krouse has been appointed local agent at Tyabb for Nobel-

Glasgow Explosives for land clearing and subsoiling, and will be pleased to afford all information in connection with the working of the explosive.

***MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, and will offer on behalf of Mr H. Shepherd, medium draught mare, and on account of Mr Campbell, dray and harness, wire net-ting, potatoes, bacon and ducks.

***MR J. E. Jones, shire secretary, was again in his place at the council meet-ing on Thursday, after having spent an enjoyable three weeks’ holiday in Tasmania.

In our advertising columns will be found the days on each week in which he will visit the different centres in the shire for collection of rates and other money due.

***A SCRATCH match between Somer-ville and Tyabb was played on the ground of the former, which resulted in a win for the locals by 45 points to 25 points.

The goal kickers for Somerville were Lewis 3, Dickson 1, Lang 2. Tyabb—Longmuir 2, Lonsdale 1. Best players for Somerville were, Dickson, Woollard, Barber, Lewis. Percy Thor-nell, and L. Gregory. The best for Ty-abb were, Lonsdale, Baker, Longmuir, Slocombe Hodgins, and Robinson.

***AT Thursday’s meeting of the

Frankston and Hastings Shire Council, the request of the Frankston Gas Co to support them in their application to the Governor-in-Council for an order to permit them to install an electric light throughout the Shire was favorably considered, and a representative of the company will visit the different centres shortly, with a view of seeing what support they are likely to receive from the residents.

***BALMORAL House, Frankston, will be the scene of festivity and gaiety this (Saturday) evening, as the proprietress intends throwing open the grounds to the public and having a Continental Concert.

A good programme will be given, beside side-shows. Refreshments will also be provided. The proceeds are to be devoted to the Belgian fund. One shilling will be charged for admission and as the object is a worthy one there will doubtless be a good attendance.

***THE hon. treasurer of the Frankston Belgian Relief Fund (Dr Plowman) desires to acknowledge from the Frankston Ladies Collecting Com-mittee the receipt of the sum of £15 as a fi rst contribution. This handsome addition to the general fund will be probably supplemented by a donation every month, as we understand the ladies are continuing their collecting work with undiminished energy.

***AN accident happened to J. and H.

Cottier and J. Mills on Sunday evening which fortunately resulted in nothing more than a few bruises and a severe shaking. It appears that the party had been to Mornington, and on their return as they were driving down the street in Frankston the animal sud-denly commenced to kick and plunge violently, and before long H.Cottier and Mills were thrown out.

J. Cottier, who was driving, held on a little longer, but he ultimately met the same fate. The horse continued kicking and after smashing the jinker pretty considerably, freed itself from the shafts, and departed.

***THREE times matches have been played on the Frankston courts lately, the locals coming out on top on two occasions and losing the last match by fi ve points. A good deal of interest has been taken and a very pleasant time spent, the visitors expressing the hope that it will not be long before again trying conclusions.

In the fi rst match (gents doubles), which was played on Saturday, 24th April, the locals had an easy win. Dr Maxwell, Messrs Utber, Jackson and Rogers played for Frankston.

On Monday, April 26th, eight play-ers journeyed from Caulfi eid which resulted in another win for Frankston, the fi nal scores being 80 points to 60. The players for this match were Misses Gregory, Young and Reynolds, and Messrs Utber, Cummins, Rogers and Jackson.

Last Saturday, May lst, the locals

were at home to four players from the Government Audit Offi ce, Melbourne. The fi nal scores were 48 points to 43, the visitors proving their superiority by a few games.

Messrs Watson, Utber, Rogers, Wheaten and Dr Maxwell played for Frankston. Afternoon tea was much appreciated and enjoyed by visitors and players, being provided by the ladies of the local club. The next match is to take place on June 7th at the Frankston courts.

***THE Life of a Bush Nurse. The testi-mony from high offi cers in the Army Medical Corps at the front makes it clear that in personality, as well as in training, the Australian nurse is above the average.

But all the capable and all the brave nurses have not left these shores. One particularly able branch of the nursing profession, that is, the Australian Bush Nurses, is described in the May issue of ‘Everylady’s Journal’, just to hand, and the tale arouses one’s admiration for this noble band of women workers.

The position of bush nurse is one which has its hardships, and even its perils, but judging from the account in ‘Everylady’s Journal’ it is one which has its glorious compensations, and its humours as well as its sorrows.

The article is illustrated with a number of very fi ne photographs, and brightened with many capital stories.

CHELTENHAM MT ELIZA BRIGHTON. .

OUR feet are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our physical activities, so it’s no wonder problems and pain are common. What many people aren’t aware of is that our feet can affect and cause problems in the rest of our bodies including ankles, knees, hips and backs. Bad foot posture can continually pull our bodies out of alignment, so any foot or leg pain should not be ignored.

Problems left untreated almost always get worse but there is often a simple solution, if you get the correct diagnosis and treatment.

Experienced Musculoskeletal Po-diatrist Dr. David Kavanagh, from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics says that people often endure painful conditions for far too long, most of which can be easily overcome.

“Even patients who’ve been told there is no solution or that surgery and medications are their only options, we are now able to treat with great success,” says Dr. Kavanagh. “I know what it’s like to suffer foot and leg pain but you don’t have to put up with it. With the right diagnosis and treatment from an experienced practitioner who addresses the cause of the problem and not just the symptoms, you can achieve successful long-term outcomes.”

If you suffer from heel or arch pain, ankle, shin or Achilles concerns, keen pain, bunions,

injuries or degenerative issues, you can get expert assistance at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza, Rye and Cheltenham. Call 1300 328 300.

up. True, but they are so nice about it. Our government at work - caring for we older Australians.

***My years as an actor, well, a would-be actor, taught me how to appreci-ate creativity in its purest form, which is why I so admire our Prime Minister’s handling of the royal commission into union corruption headed by two of his most reliable followers with already two exten-sions and currently set for the end of this year. It’s not fi nished yet, the creative process takes time and

millions of dollars. Expect the fi nal damning report some six months before the next election.

***Royal Military College, Duntroon, where leaders are made; or indoc-trinated, depending on your point of view...“It’s coming” mumbled the drunkard sailor to his ladyfriend, in a state of glorious anticipation; ob-viously referring to Joe’s 2015 May budget...Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber. (Plato)...hooroo...cliffi [email protected]

THERE has to be question marks over our man Dan. A public holiday on Grand Final eve (unnecessary/silly) was surely the “good bloke” syndrome at play, likewise bringing forward the non-smoking outside schools, government offi ces and hospitals to April when already set down for July? A man chasing af-fection from whom he considers to represent the majority, or an honest Joe? Not forgetting the East West “mandate” claim with most voters casting for a party’s policies or against Denis Napthine. We move on, or underground Swanston Street. When I say “we” I mean “they”. Anyone south of Moorabbin, at this stage anyway, do not exist. Don’t forget those fi refi ghters Danny boy, it’s not just fi res they can put out. Nice glasses.

***Thank God for football and Colling-wood’s temporary good form. When the Canberra crooks took their 6-week break we welcomed it. “A double treat” we thought. Alas no. There was Tony doing his best to frighten us daily in the guise of con-cern, for us; wars and spies stuff; Anzac week full on; police carrying guns, the ever increasing possibil-ity of danger, helicopters hovering overhead. I did one of my famous surveys: “Why are we sending an-other 300 soldiers to train untrain-able Arabian Nights? Nobody’s nose knows?” Popular response -“Piss off!” Charming. Mostly Essendon, Carlton or Hawthorn supporters? I never thought I’d appreciate Mid-somer Murders.

***Anyone can write. Practice makes perfect, right? True up to a point. Many thousands of books out there, mostly rubbish, thus establishing

anyone can indeed write but very few can be good writers. Anyone can paint, anyone can act? Cer-tain famous celebrities stage and screen are not necessarily good at anything, despite their status. Yoko Ono, Lee Marvin singing? Shaun Micallef, a brilliant satirist, writer, and now a member of Creative Vic-toria is an actor; not necessarily a good actor; maybe a good perform-er? Magpie Nathan Buckley knows his football, speaks well, a coach, but a good coach? As Clint says “A man’s got to know his limitations”. Me? I was a good table tennis player, in E Grade, VTTA, 1970s.

***Crooks? They’re never far away on any given subject. Yes, even on genital activities, the last line of de-fence on unmentionables; probably a good thing considering it’s fi rmly on the minds of many men day and night. The AMI (Advanced Medical Institute) were supposedly special-ists in erectile dysfunction charging some $4,500 for treatment with the promise of a cure? I was lucky. I held off forking out until I could fi nd a suitable courageous partner. I failed, again, much like the AMI lot. Ordered to pay compensation. And my $4500? Almost gone, on antidepressants and cigarettes.

***In this age of metadata we must be ever vigilant. My friends at ASIO are hovering in Canberra day and night poring over every word, more likely keywords, and computerised pop-ups. Pondering whether or not to send in those super-effi cient Commonwealth Police to demand my computer in a 3am raid, check for porn pictures, anti-Australian sentiment, left wing bias. Fortunate-ly I’ve taken a strong stand on porn.

I cut it out completely four days ago. In its place I draw pictures, with crayons.

***It depends on my particular funny bone. Nothing can give a blanket satisfaction to all. Some understand too little, some too much. Some will see an actor in a movie and he’s damned for life. Other literally judge a book by its cover; likewise assess a person by the style of dress. I was particularly amused by the lady who wrote “I’ll never shop at Woolworths again” referring to the use of Anzac marketing, seemingly oblivious to our governments, the RSL, Channel 9, the newspapers and numerous others who have done the same thing increasingly over the past 10 years building to a crescendo on this 100 year anniver-sary. Who decides where the line is drawn?

***I for one will not have a bad word said against the lovelies at Cen-trelink. Yes, sometimes referred to as Gestapo-land, but let’s not blame the lovely skeleton staffers. A service for older Australians! Along comes a text via your mobile telephone to contact them on any changed circumstances; important things like winning $15 at the races despite no effect on your pension. Your choices are clear: ring them or go to Centrelink or risk your pension stopping. Telephone, no problem. Answer a series of ques-tions getting to the point of being told “a 50 minute wait”. So? You’ve got something better to do? Travel to Centrelink by car at a cost in excess of the $15, or bus if you have a 4 hour “nothing on” space in your day, wait another hour (if you’re lucky), and clear the matter

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe Punt PINES remains undefeated at the top of the Peninsula Division ladder after beating Edithvale-Aspendale in a tight contest on Saturday.

The Pythons have now won four of four matches, however, are yet to play the big three in Mt Eliza, Frankston YCW and Mornington.

The true test of this football team will come when it tackles the power-house sides of the competition.

The Pythons tackle Mornington this weekend and follow up with the Stonecats the week after. Only then will we know how much this side has improved.

On Saturday, the Pythons trailed at half time by three points before boot-ing fi ve goals to three after the main change to record a 12.16 (88) to 11.7 (73) victory.

Taylor Strachan was a stand out performer for the Pythons with two goals and some great work around the ground while Aaron Edwards and for-mer Dromana onballer Paul McLean-Wilson also kicked a couple.

Mark Mullins and Steve Mannix fl ew the fl ag for the Eagles while Matt Clark was solid again with two goals.

Langwarrin desperately needed to win after a poor showing against Pines and drawing a game they should have won against Edithvale last week.

On Saturday the Kangas were up against Bonbeach and after a fi ve goal to one fi rst quarter, they were in con-trol from that point.

The fi nal margin was 39 points, 16.8 (104) to 10.5 (65).

Sean Herdman was superb in attack with fi ve goals while Gerard Brown and Kieran Albanese booted three each. Albanese has been on the brink of senior selection for two seasons, however, needed to develop a defen-sive side to his game. He achieved that on Saturday, which would have pleased coach Gavin Artico.

Jayden Grose was back to his bril-liant best for the Roos and Ricki John-ston continues arguably his best sea-son. Shane Paterson is also starting to get into the groove after a lay-off.

In sad news for the Kangas, multiple B&F winner Daniel ‘Bluey’ Wehner has retired. Wehner played his 150th

game against Edithvale. At training through the week leading up to Sat-urday’s game, he received a corked thigh. The cork caused Acute Com-partment Syndrome, which is where a vessel ruptures and bleeds in a small space, causing enormous pressure and even damaging/killing muscle in some instances. He was rushed to hospital and his wound was ‘slashed’ to elimi-nate the pressure.

Check out the Toe Punt Facebook Page to see the photographs.

Owen Hulett booted a couple of goals and worked tirelessly for the Sharks and Gary Carpenter and Jack-son Casey were superb also.

Seaford is in big, big trouble.On Saturday the Tigers went in as

favourites against Chelsea but were restricted to just fi ve goals and were smashed.

Despite suffering from a broken fi n-ger, Gulls’ coach Brent Guerra played and led the charge.

The Gulls booted fi ve goals to zip in the opening quarter and won 11.15 (81) to 5.14 (44).

Matty Baxter booted three and Ryan Stewart and Curtis Bywater two each for the Gulls while Todd Gardiner and Rory Gregg dominated in the middle and around the ground.

Rourke Fischer was again Seaford’s best. Surely he’ll be at Collingwood in the VFL in the coming weeks. He’ll be a massive loss to Seaford though.

Dean Williamson also fl ew the fl ag for the Tigers yet again and Ben Crowe and Chris Fortnam just racked-up touches.

The Tigers get enough of the footy but they just don’t have those forward targets. The struggle will continue.

Frankston YCW didn’t play on Sa-tuirday but they will be without stars Ash Eames and Anthony Barry for a number of weeks.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe Punt RED Hill have now knocked over the two grand fi nal sides of last season after beating Sorrento on Saturday in Nepean Division.

The Hillmen now sit in fourth posi-tion on the ladder as one of four teams who have won three matches this sea-son.

Rosebud, who has played fi ve games, sits on top of the ladder while Rye, who has played four games, sits in second spot.

Hastings is the only undefeated team in the competition. It has won all three of its games.

On Saturday at David MacFarlane Reserve, Red Hill was wearing its white neutral colours.

At half time the Hillmen trailed by two points, however, booted four goals to two in the third quarter to open up a 14 point break.

The Hillmen peppered the goals in the fi nal quarter too but inaccuracy (2.5 to 2.3) cost them an even more convincing win.

The fi nal score was 10.13 (73) to 8.9 (57).

Small forward Jayden Pain was a menace for Sorrento, booting three goals, while key forwards Jarred Eames and Michael Chaplin booted two goals each.

The Sharks went into the game without coach Troy Schwarze, who is overseas for three weeks.

Paul Wintle and Michael Mock were outstanding for the Hillmen while

Seamus Thomson continued his out-standing season.

Myles Pitt, who is due to go over-seas soon, booted three goals for the Sharks and worked tirelessly, while Jon Croad and Tyrren Head were also up and about.

Crib Point went into their match against Tyabb on Saturday without their coach. Duane Annable was at his sister’s wedding.

This meant that skipper Brad Arnold took the reigns. He would have been happy with the Pies’ four-quarter per-formance, booting 17.21 (123) to beat Tyabb 5.2 (32).

Luke Herrington was the key con-tributor in front of goals for the Pies with four goals while Matt Sloper, usually known for his defensive work, found himself forward and fi nished with three goals.

Matthew Wappett was also a hand-ful for the Yabbies with three goals while Jon Flack booted two in his fi rst game for the season.

Annable told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that if his side could be “thereabouts” at the halfway mark of the season, he was confi dent that they could make a run for the fi -nals.

“It is tough in a 16 round season to make a late run but I think given our poor pre-season with injuries to key players, they will be up and about in the second half of the season.

“I’d like to think that our best is still good enough to match it with the best in the competition,” said Annable.

Jake Anderson was Tyabb’s only mul-tiple goal kicker while Justin Volk and James Cottrell collected the top votes.

Rye was made to work hard right to the fi nal siren to shake off a persistent Frankston Bombers.

The Demons trailed at quarter time but hit back with a fi ve goal second quarter to lead by eight points at the main break.

The Bombers regained the lead in the third term before Rye booted fi ve goals to one in the last to win 15.13 (103) to 11.15 (81).

Andrew Dean booted four goals for the winners and Kris Bardon and Dean Millhouse booted a couple each.

Ryan Mullet was dominant for the De-mons, while Adam Kirkwood and Na-than Henley also got plenty of the footy.

The Demons went into the game without ruckmen Simon Taylor and Rhett Sutton.

Rye coach Josh Moore’s three-quar-ter time speech got the hairs on the back of the neck standing on end.

It worked, they dominant the fi nal 30 minutes of the match.

Devon Meadows’ coach Glenn Michie was left wondering what could have been after their 46 point thrash-ing at the hands of Rosebud.

After winning in round one and pushing Sorrento to the line two weeks ago, Michie had fi ve players unavailable due to two of them going to a music festival, two overseas on holiday and one player at a wedding.

Regardless of that however, the side that ran out for the Panthers was more than capable of kicking at least one goal in the fi rst half.

At half time, Rosebud led 7.9.51 to 0.2.2.

The Panthers outscored the Buds in the second half but still went down 13.14 (92) to 7.4 (46).

Phillip Raso, Gavin Kerr and Steve McInnes were the best for the Pan-thers while Rob Forrest and Chris Dew dominated for Rosebud.

Former Frankston Dolphins’ skipper Paul Kennedy also made his debut for the Buds on Saturday.

Hastings had 35 scoring shots to Dromana’s 20 on Saturday but only managed a 14.21 (105) to 12.8 (80) victory.

Luke Hewitt and Steve Robb starred for the Blues, along with Taylor Strat-ton, while Dan and Sam Guerts were very good for the Tigers. Sam Fowler also booted another four goals for Dromana.
