FORMER residents of Mentone Gar-dens will receive compensation
after the Victorian Ombudsman released a scathing report slamming
the Depart-ment of Health for failing to adequately monitor the
Mentone aged care home.
Mentone Gardens went into voluntary administration two years ago
with more than $4 million in bonds and deposits unaccounted for
(Bonds lost as home goes bust, The News 25/9/13).
The department has agreed to make ex-gratia payments to former
Mentone Gardens residents at taxpayers expense after an Ombudsman
investigation fi -nalised last month uncovered a litany of failings
by the department over an extended period of time.
Ombudsman Deborah Glass heard from 18 former residents and
families during the course of the investigation.
Despite showing no proper fi nancial records over its entire 25
year history of operation, numerous complaints about both the care
of residents and fi nancial management, and two prosecutions by the
department, Mentone Gardens had its registration renewed eleven
times.
The aged care home was found to have breached care plans on
several oc-casions amid poor hygiene standards.
When the aged care home went into administration there were 39
elderly residents who had paid large sums of money for care and
accommodation.
The liquidator advised the money had disappeared due to
misappropriation of funds.
The Ombudsman report noted Men-tone Gardens was operated by
Parklane
Assets Pty Ltd and for much of its 25-year history Parklanes
directors were a husband and wife.
Those directors were William and Gela Newitt.
Mr Newitt died in January 2014 and Mrs Newitt resigned her
directorship in 2011 but the Ombudsman noted she appears to have
had effective control of the day-to-day management of the facility,
particularly once the proprietor was admitted to a nursing
home.
Parkdale Assets had been trading while insolvent for three years
before going into administration and the Om-budsman found some of
bonds and deposits monies that should have been held in trust
accounts were transferred to a related entity of Parklane.
The consequences for residents were not limited to fi nancial
loss, Ms Glass said.
Residents and their families told my offi ce of the hardship
involved in hav-ing to relocate to new accommodation, accepting
lesser facilities and the gen-eral distress associated with the
loss of savings accumulated over a lifetime of hard work and frugal
living.
For their families, the loss was exac-erbated by the
bureaucratic stonewall-ing of departmental representatives as they
tried to fi nd answers. They told me they felt betrayed, hurt and
let down by the system.
Registered Supported Residential Service providers, such as
Mentone Gardens before its liquidation, must now hold bond money in
trust.
The department has assured me that all currently registered SRSs
are subject to inspection, Ms Glass said.

THE Big O has survived the Big C. Entertainer-at-large John
Wells, who regularly performs at venues around Kingston as Roy
Orbison in a tribute show, was stopped in his tracks by a throat
cancer diagnosis four years ago.
The singer, guitarist and drum-mer said when he was told he was
not expected to live more than three months when diagnosed with
stage 4 throat cancer.
I was told Id never sing again and Ive kind of beaten the odds a
bit.
After spending about a year recuper-ating after surgery,
radiotherapy and chemo Wells decided to get back on the road
part-time and team up again with his Drawcard Entertainment co-
founder Norbert Graetzer.Wells, a non-smoker, thinks passive
smoking from the years playing pubs and clubs may be to blame
for his throat cancer and is glad smoking in enclosed venues is now
banned.
We didnt know any different back then, he said.
Wells said the fi rst troubling sign something was amiss came
when a sore throat was followed about four months later by a lump
forming on his neck.
They took the cancer out it was right on my vocal chords.
The 50-year-old Chelsea resident praised staff at The Alfred for
their amazing work.
In recent months Wells has been in
and out of hospital due to a recurring Golden Staph
infection.
Ive lost the use of one of my hands but Im one of the lucky
ones, he said.
Wells is focused on extending his three decades and counting
career in the entertainment business.
Everything that Drawcard does raises money for somebody. Were
all about helping others. Its pretty rewarding.
John Wells will perform at The Aus-tralian Eagles and Little
River Band Tribute Show at Longbeach RSL, Chelsea on Friday 15
May.

MENTONE Public Library celebrates its 90th anniversary at the
end of this month with local authors, poetry read-ings and live
music.
A tribute by Mordialloc Writ-ers Group will focus on Mentones
literary panorama over the decades: the changes to the station,
cinema and beach the personalities and the reminiscences.
A highlight will be Blue Chair Poets Sarah Farrugia and Deborah
Williams presenting original works and local author Shirley Randles
presenting an ode to the vibrant legacy left by former library
president Jean Critchley, who died on New Years Day.
The milestone gives us the chance to remember our past
volunteers and members who may no longer be with us, library
president Tony Brooker said.
We hope to continue to grow and offer more services to our
members and to those from the community who may not yet have
discovered us.
Library spokeswoman Julia Reich-stein said the library, staffed
by vol-unteers, was a humble organisation with very big ambitions
in a rapidly changing area and demographic and there lies our
challenge.
Changing trends threaten our sur-vival as it is all too easy to
be forgotten by those who never had the chance to know you, she
said.
It takes a lot of work and energy to re-introduce ourselves to
residents and show them that, although we are of humble means, we
are capable of delivering some very unique services namely our
intimate local author programs and our vintage legacy.
So often when patrons fi rst enter
Milestone one for the history books
our premises, they say how homely it is and how safe they feel.
Everyones viewpoint is listened to and valued here. We have come to
be a regular meeting place for home-grown writers and
residents.
Treasurer Lorna Miranda said the many new authors and best
sellers and book prize winners helped connect library volunteers to
the community. The choices are endless, she said. I read the
synopsis and, if the plot in-trigues me, its for me. Its quite
amaz-ing how many patrons do the same, and interesting to know
their views,
Library patron and former mayor of Mordialloc and Kingston Bill
Nixon praised past and present library com-mittees in the lead up
to the anniver-sary. Opening prior to the great de-pression of the
1930s, passing through World War II and the amalgamation of
councils that formed Kingston, the library is as relevant today as
it needed to be in the past.
It operates as a library and a resource centre for students and
emerg-ing writers.
Kingston historian Dr Graham Whitehead said new families mov-ing
into Mentone over the past few decades often remarked: I had no
idea your library even existed.
While it can be argued we are a humble fi xture, we are by no
means a new kid on the block, he said. Men-tone Public Library was
formed in 1925 - well before the conception and now vibrant City of
Kingston Library and Information Service.
Bookings are essential for the librarys birthday celebrations on
Saturday 30 May, 11am-2pm. Call Mr Brooker on 9583 8494 or email:

The library is at the rear entrance of the CAB Building, 36
Florence St, Mentone. Entry is by gold coin dona-tion.

THE poor state of ovals at Bonbeach Reserve has forced Kingston
Council to apologise to the Bonbeach Football Netball and Bonbeach
YCW Junior Football clubs.
The ovals surrounding the modern-ised clubrooms host games for
hun-dreds of children each week.
The apology followed a warning let-ter from the clubs saying the
Morning-ton Peninsula Nepean Football League had declared the
reserve unsafe for football, and that it would not schedule senior
games there until the playing surface has been brought up to the
re-quired standard.
Kingston Council CEO John Nevins said council had been working
with the clubs to urgently fi x the turf problems.
We greatly appreciate the positive role that sports clubs play
in the local community and the council is keen to support them in
their good work promoting an active, connected and healthy
community.
Mr Nevins said council offi cers had held talks with the clubs
over the past week. We have agreed to undertake expansive top
dressing of the ground with soil to level out lower areas, over-sow
top-dressed areas to get grass cov-erage [there] for the football
season, and undertake repairs to the irrigation system to ensure
water supply.
He said council would continue to meet with the clubs throughout
the season to ensure the playing surface re-
mains in good condition. The two clubs had earlier expressed
serious concerns about the condition of two of the three ovals
during a meeting with council and the MPNFL.
The MPNFL wrote to council in Feb-ruary stating the ground was
unsuitable for use, saying council made a token effort to fi ll
holes with sand on Oval 4 before recent games but had not
com-mitted to a timeline for repair works on Oval 1. Even with the
footy season fast approaching, the league did not receive a
response for four weeks, and no re-medial work was done until last
week.
The league declared uneven ar-eas around the cricket pitch on
Oval 1 potentially dangerous, while similar problems were found
around the north-ern end of Oval 4, used by up to 200 junior
players each weekend.
The initial lack of response had disap-pointed the clubs and the
league.
We just want it fi xed so its a safe ground, Bonbeach Football
Netball Club president Reece Murphy said. We are worried that games
of commu-nity football may be forfeited as a result in coming
weeks.
The condition of Oval 4 remains a problem, with BYCW president
Brian Lockett asking council to provide a back-up venue should it
also be deemed unsafe for play.
The reserves fi rst game is scheduled for Oval 1 on Saturday 30
May to coin-cide with the opening of the renovated clubrooms.
However, unless immedi-ate remedial work is performed, this will
not be possible, the league said.

CROWDS of 8000 and up fl ocked to Roy Dore Reserve, Carrum, on
the weekend to enjoy a taste of country at the City of Kingstons
annual Harvest Festival.
The ninth annual festival has its roots in the celebration of
the autumn harvest dating back to British-Saxon times. This was a
time when the success of a crop governed the lives of whole
communities.
Kingstons Harvest Festival entertained with non-stop music,
fresh food and cooking demonstrations in the Harvest Kitchen,
market stalls, locally produced food, licensed bar and
amusements.
Crowds delighted to the sounds of country music as well as
bluegrass and rockabilly artists on the Big Top stage. The line-up
was headlined by Aussie rock legends Boom Crash Opera, alongside
Jason Singh, Fiona Boyes and The Fortune Tellers and Lachlan Bryan
and the Wildes.
Sustainable workshops in the Green Hub offered tips on home
composting and worm farms, Eco-Mixpo displayed sustainable
prod-ucts, enthusiasts learned how to make recycled succulents,
plant edible gardens, make mini-garden presents for mum, and blend
their own smoothies.
Kids learned how to make their own billy carts in the Kids
Marquee and wandering per-formers The Water Drops and Giant
Scarecrows roamed the grounds.
Truck stage highlights included Dandy Man Circus and Comedy and
Asking for Trouble theatre show.
This years festival was a great event with one of the strongest
turn-outs ever seen, King-ston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said. It
wrapped up another successful Season of Festivals by the City of
Kingston and was a chance for the com-munity to come together and
enjoy some great music, food and entertainment.
Harvest Festival was hosted by Kingston Council.

War journal captures a soldiers lifeWHILE Australians pay their
respects to the World War I fallen during this years Anzac
centenary the war against terrorism continues in foreign fi elds
and deserts.
Aaron Healy is one of those who served and the Chelsea residents
jour-nal detailing his experiences during 112 days deployed in
Afghanistan in 2011 have been accepted in to the Australian War
Memorial in Canberra.
The former Troopers journal, written using a laptop, vividly
chronicles the battles, danger and at times boredom that is a
soldiers lot during wartime.
The journal was the fi rst of two from the Afghanistan campaign
alongside army comrade Stephen Gavins to be accepted into the
Australian War Me-morials archives.
The 26-year-old was stationed in Uruzgan Province and found
there was a culture shock for both Australian troops and the Afghan
locals.
The locals were very mistrusting and werent really sure who we
were or what we were doing there, Mr Healy said. They had never
really been breached by the outside world. They re-ally had no idea
about coalition forces. The Russians never made it to them during
their occupation.
Mr Healys battalion trained and mentored Afghan army volunteers
dur-ing his tour of duty.
They were interesting characters. Some of them can be a bit
Bananas in Pyjamas they can be a bit silly and always making
mistakes. Some of them took it really seriously and wanted to
re-
build and stabilise their country.He could understand why some
Af-
ghan soldiers were less than enthusias-tic about military
life.
Its an impoverished country that hasnt been stable since
probably the 1970s and a lot of them have just joined up for three
meals a day and pay. Their hearts not in it. They dont care. They
just do what they have to not get kicked out.
Drug use among Afghan volunteers was rife, Mr Healy said, with
marijua-na, heroin and opium readily available.
Some of them were fantastic and re-ally nice guys [but] some of
them were Taliban insiders. They used to make phone calls and sell
information when we left the base to tell the Taliban were leaving
and what direction we were heading in.
While on a reconnaissance mission, Mr Healy and his fellow
soldiers came under attack by a sniper and, later that night,
machine gun fi re ripped into their temporary camp.
We put as many rounds as we could into where they [the bullets]
were com-ing from. We killed fi ve of them.
US Apache helicopters were called in to provide air support.
Uruzgan Province is home to the no-torious IED alley and Mr
Healys bat-talion regularly had to travel the gaunt-let of the
improvised explosive device strewn valley.
Twisted trenches humour saw troops keeping a score of how many
IEDs they stuck while out on patrol in heavily armoured
vehicles.
I only hit one IED over there, Mr Healy said. We were lucky that
the bomb maker who put together that IED
didnt know his chemistry too well and he didnt get the
components right so when we hit it it didnt release the whole 15kg
charge.
After his Afghanistan deployment Mr Healy decided to leave the
army. He had always wanted to join the army and enlisted at the age
of 19 but decided six years was enough time in the armed
forces.
Its a good experience and a great ad-venture but I didnt see it
as a full-time career. I got pretty disgruntled with the army.
Youre always just like a child getting led around.
I always had my mind set on join-ing up. Once I got there its
not what you imagine it to be. It is what it is. I enjoyed my time
and was happy to walk away once Id felt Id fi nished and achieved
everything I needed to.
Mr Healy still stays in touch with his former army comrades but
has lost contact with Afghans he met during his deployment.
He often thinks about an interpreter a fantastic bloke from the
birthplace of the Taliban who feared he and his family would be
murdered if the Tali-ban found out he worked with the Aus-tralian
Army.
Australian authorities should do all they can to repatriate
those who helped troops in war zones, Mr Healy said.
We owe it to them. Not all of them. Each one should be assessed
on a case-by-case basis.
His journal will be put on display on an electronic screen at
the Austral-ian War Memorial after the war in Af-ghanistan is over.
About 400 Australian troops remain in Afghanistan and seem set to
stay until at least the end of 2016.

NEW restrictions have been imposed on the fi shing industry
following the deaths of eight dolphins and four fur seals during
two offshore trips by the factory trawler, Geelong Star.
The Australian Fisheries Manage-ment Authority (AFMA) says
trawlers in the small pelagic fi shery must now only fi sh during
daylight while the Geelong Star has to prove if has taken all
reasonable steps to minimise further marine mammal mortalities.
Boats operating within a defi ned management zone would face a
six-month ban on fi shing if a dolphin died as a result of their
operations.
The tightening of fi shing rules is seen as a signifi cant win
for marine mammals in Australian waters, by Jeff Weir, executive
director of the Hastings-based Dolphin Research In-stitute.
Our goal should be to eliminate marine mammal deaths as bycatch,
most critically because we dont know enough about the vulnerability
of dol-phin communities around our coast, so much more research is
required, he said.
He said marine mammal deaths as bycatch in Australian waters is
bigger than the operation of the Geelong Star and the DRI welcomes
the breadth of AFMA's announcement to include all small pelagic fi
sheries in Australian waters.
Eight dolphin deaths in two trips are unacceptable, the AFMAs
CEO Dr James Findlay said.
We have said all along that the ves-sel management plan was a
live docu-ment and we would be adaptive and responsive to ensure
that all reason-able measures are in place to minimise harm to
marine mammals.
Mr Findlay said the Geelong Star must be fi tted with tamper
proof cam-eras to monitor its fi shing activity be-fore setting
sail for its third voyage.
In addition to e-monitoring, two AFMA offi cers will remain on
board to closely observe the vessels opera-tions, he said.
While encouraging the vessles op-erato, Seafi sh Tasmania, to
work with marine mammal experts to ensure it stays within the
restrictive fi shing conditions, Mr Findlay said all fi sh-ing
poses risks that can sometimes lead to the unintentional harm to
marine mammals.
Mr Weir said the AFMA's night fi sh-ing ban and threat to close
the entire fi shery if any dolphins die in future operations is a
strong evidence-based response.
Some important research in this area has been funded by the
federal government and these recent deaths confi rm that this
funding should be on-going, Mr Weir said.
Where there are gaps in our knowl-edge we need to undertake more
research and use the precautionary principle to ensure the
long-term pro-tection of marine mammals in Austral-ian waters.

Dolphin deaths lead to tighter rules for fishing
ABOUT 250 people and many of their pets walked around the
foreshore near Hastings for this years Dolphin Research Institutes
Walk for Western Port.
We started the Walk for Western Port fi ve years ago to open
peoples eyes to the wonders of our bay, the institutes executive
director Jeff Weir said.
The event is a key part of the Institutes i sea, i care
ambassador program and this year 24 schools were at the walk, from
the municipalities of Frankston, Kingston and Mornington
Peninsula.
This means that the experiences of the children on the day and
the West-ern Port messages will be shared with
close to 15,000 people in their school communities.
The event is supported by Mel-bourne Water, which is responsible
for managing the 2232 kilometres of rivers and creeks that fl ow
into Western Port.
Melbourne Waters waterways manage (South-East region), Greg
Bain, said that the bays environment was one of international
signifi cance and the event was a great way to learn more about the
area and raise awareness of the many species that live there.
Mr Weir credited Melbourne Waters Western Port Science Review
with opening up many of Western Port's secrets.
A key fi nding of the study is that the mudfl ats support more
than one per cent of the world's population of six species of
birds, he said.
They feed on a rich diversity of shrimps, worms and molluscs
that live in the mud. To put this in perspective, one per cent of
humans would mean over 60 million of us living in Western Port.
Mr Weir said sediment was one of the problems facing the bay
because of our actions in the catchment.
Western Port's wetlands and mudfl ats act as giant kidneys to
purify land-based run-off, stopping the bay from turning green like
an aquarium with a clogged fi lter, he said.

money for the Dolphin Research Institute and awareness of threats

CHELSEA Golf Clubs 100 members can breathe a little easier now
that they have their own defi bril-lator.
The potentially life-saving device was donated on Friday by
Aspendale Gardens-Edithvale branch of Bendigo Bank.
This is fantastic news for members of the golf club, secretary
John Martin said. We appreciate the help of the Bendigo bank; its
something we should have done a long while ago.
He said the $2500 unit was like insurance: Its something you are
glad to have, even though you hope you wont ever have to use
it.
About 20 members of the club, in Fraser Av, Ed-ithvale, and
staff have completed the First Aid for
Life training course.Bank branch manager Kristy Marshall said
a
heart attack occurred in Australia every 10 min-utes. More than
55,000 people were affected last year tragically almost 10,000
died, she said.
About half of the deaths occur before the victim reaches
hospital and almost a quarter lose the bat-tle within an hour of
the fi rst warning sign.
Golf club manager Nick Macmillan said the club was on the
look-out for new members. We cater to an older age group of 60-plus
and welcome golfers to visit to play a round, he said.

KIDS Say Yum cooking class owner Maddie Race will join TV chef
Jamie Oliver - and hundreds of ambassadors across the world -
taking part in the fourth annual Food Revolution Day on Friday.
With overweight and obesity statistics showing alarming
increases, and preventable diet-related disease claiming more lives
earlier than ever before, it has never been more important to
educate children about food, where it comes from and how it affects
their bodies, she said.
Food Revolution is about getting kids food smart and setting
them up for a long, healthy life.
More than 1300 ambassadors in more than 120 countries are
planning events, both big and small, for the Food Revolution day.
As part of the fun, Jamies Food Revolution dish the healthy Squash
it Sandwich will make its appearance at a free event hosted by Ms
Race, 1-3pm the day be-fore Thursday - at Chelsea Heights Community
Centre.
Residents are invited to come along with young children and
grandchil-dren to participate. The event would
not be possible without great support from Kingston councillors,
Chelsea Heights Community Centre and local MP Tim Richardson, Ms
Race said.
It will be a fun day, as together we unite and fi ght for food
education.
Ms Race is excited to be involved. Food Revolution Day is at the
heart of all the work Jamie and his Food Foundation do to engage
and inspire people of all ages to learn about food and how to cook
it.
The excitement doesnt just end there: Bonbeach Primary School is
participating with 264 students keen to roll up their sleeves and
cook along with Jamie. Teacher Sharon King says she is really
looking forward to Friday and the kids cant wait.
Ms Race said the Food Revolution Day focused on a global
petition to make practical food education com-pulsory on school
curriculums. Jamie believes that, by educating children about food
and cooking in a fun and engaging way, we can equip them with the
basic skills they need to lead healthier, happier lives, for
themselves and their future families.
Tasting bout a revolution

IRISH singer Van Morrison has written about people thinking it
rather quaint that the great Rembrandt didn't have enough money for
his brushes (The Great Deception). True or false, its often a
struggle for artists to make a living from their skills.
Luckily for Morrison, his musicianship is ap-preciated by
millions of fans willing to buy his albums or attend his
concerts.
But that level of fame, and income, comes to just a small
proportion of talented performing and visual artists.
A seminar being held in Frankston this week-end aims to help
artists make a living from their art.
Billed as Secrets of Success, the seminar being held by
Auspicious Arts Incubator teaches artists how to succeed in the
competitive business landscape.
The world is in desperate need of artists. It kills me that
artists are throwing in the towel just because they don't have the
business and market-ing skills to succeed, the arts incubator
founder and CEO John Paul Fischbach said.
Almost half of the Australian population is creatively engaged
in some form of artistic crea-tion, but only a tiny fraction
possess the skills
and experience to transform their passion into a successful
career.
Years of artistic effort can go unnoticed, but one day's
attention to the business end of things can transform all of
that.
The arts incubator was founded in 2007 after investigation by
Arts Victoria, City of Mel-bourne and the Australia Council for the
Arts revealed the need for more support in the small independent
performing arts sector. Frankston Council is supporting the
seminar.
Mr Fischbach, a theatre and fi lm director and producer, said
the seminar takes participants through a comprehensive evaluation
of their own work as entrepreneurs, offering real tools to manage
their fi nances, time and mental attitudes towards creativity as a
rewarding and lucrative asset.
What's common knowledge in other indus-tries can be alien to
artists, who frequently don't have access to the knowledge and
resources required to develop long-term strategies.
The Secrets of Success seminar is at Cube 37, 37 Davey St,
Frankston,
9.30am5pm Saturday 16 May and two-hour sessions Sunday 17 May.
Tickets at artsbusiness-success.com or call 9784 1896. Keith

The art of making a living
Art and business: John Paul Fischbach will show how art and
business success do not have to be mutually exclusive.
COMMUNITY football leagues have thrown their support behind the
ex-panded $29 million Moorabbin Re-serve redevelopment project.
New state-of-the-art facilities will provide a new headquarters
for commu-nity leagues that represent over 14,000 players from the
Southern Football Netball League (SFNL), South Metro Junior
Football League (SMJFL) and TAC club Sandringham Dragons.
The community leagues are also looking forward to building
stronger links with the St Kilda Football Club including access to
the AFL clubs coaching staff to help further develop talented young
players.
Kingston mayor Cr Geoff Gledhill said the expanded project was
about far more than the St Kilda Football Club and would have
incredible benefi ts for thousands of community footballers.
This is a great opportunity to in-vest in our community by
providing a community football hub that will boost community
football leagues that serve thousands of locals, Cr Gledhill
said.
It will also provide a much-needed indoor sports court that the
commu-nity is crying out for, a great new play-ground and improved
parkland.
Instead of crumbling infrastructure thats an eyesore for local
residents, Moorabbin Reserve will boast qual-ity parkland, a great
new playground, fantastic facilities for community sport and
provide a home base for the St Kil-da Football Club.
SFNL Vice Chairman Garry Cranny said the league was extremely
enthu-siastic about the expanded redevel-opment of Moorabbin
Reserve that incorporates St Kilda AFL returning to Moorabbin
Reserve as their training
and administration base.Mr Cranny said the shared commu-
nity football hub would allow many levels of football to work
together to boost participation and also provide a place where
people can feel included, connected and supported.
The SFNL currently represents 33 Member Clubs with 92 Australian
Rules football teams and 51 Netball teams - boasting around 5000
players and a volunteer support base of thou-sands more.
It includes teams from Kingston, Glen Eira, Bayside, Monash,
Greater Dandenong, Stonnington, Casey, Port Phillip and
Frankston.
The South Metro Junior Football Leagues president Peter Ryan
said St Kilda coming back to Moorabbin gives our clubs the
opportunity to use some
facilities that potentially they have nev-er had before.
One of the things we hope is to de-velop some leadership
incentives for the kids. To be able to bring some of our teams
train here and use the new facili-ties will be fantastic.
The SMJFL includes teams from Kingston, Glen Eira, Bayside, Port
Phillip, Monash and Stonnington.
The Saints move back to Moorab-bin Reserve from Seaford has not
been all smooth sailing. Several Kingston councillors have voiced
concern about spending $5 million of ratepayers money on the
expanded Moorabbin Re-serve project after St Kilda FC ditched
Moorabbin as its base in 2007 after a bitter dispute with council
over pokies machines.
Leagues support Saints return

THE latest letters from Egypt received by relatives and friends
of our local soldiers reached here the beginning of this week.
One written by Driver A. G. Young was dated April 10th 1915. The
troops were then at the Rest camp, a few miles out of Alexandria
and they were on the move to the Dardenelles, where we have learned
since, they have done such splendid work and where Aus- tralia is
now living with her sons.
We are glad to get a move on the writer continues, I am sure the
actual
fi ghting will be preferable to this wait-ing, although this
camp is much better than Mena, which we left in a blinding sand
storm.
It was not long after this letter was written that the fi rst
casualty list was published, and each additional list is scanned
eagerly for familiar names.
Many and genuine were the expres-sions of regret when the name
of Mr Olley, nephew of Mrs Sherlock, of this town, was found among
the list of those who were killed when the fi rst fi ghting took
place.
Quite a gloom was cast over Frankston on Monday, when word was
received that Private R..H .Dawborn was wounded, and much sympathy
is expressed for his relatives who are at present living in
Melbourne after spending years in Frankston, where they are well
known.
News of Ray is anxiously waited for. Corporal H C. Ashmore is
also among the wounded. Up to date all other Frankston boys are
still fi ghting for King and country, fi t and well.
***
MESSRS Brody and Mason request us to notify that owing to the
legal matters relative to Mr McArthurs sale (as per preliminary
advertise-ment) the date of this sale cannot yet be fi xed.
***
AT 5.50 p.m., on the 26th of April, in an unpretentious cottage
in William Street, Frankston, surrounded by sor-rowing relatives,
there passed silently
and painlessly into the Life Eternal, one whose sojourn here had
been a ministry of benefaction for many years.
To withhold our tribute from one so worthy, to fail to record
appreciation of her worth, would be ill in accor-dance with the
nature of things, for like her Divine Master it may be said of her
that she went about doing good.
In all the relations of life, as daugh-ter, wife, mother or
friend, whether in pressing poverty or bravely struggling with the
hardship inseparable from the lot of a pioneer, she ever exhibited
a kindliness of disposition, wealth of resource, loyalty to high
principle, conscience, and duty, which marked her unmistakeably as
pre-eminent among women.
Grace McComb, the subject of our memoir, was born on August
19th, 1827, at Muddy Plains, near Clar-ence Plains, a few miles
from Hobart, Tasmania.
Sixty-three years a resident of Victoria, honored and respected
by all, leaving behind her six sons, two daughters, 47
grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren, she has gone to rest.
***SATURDAY last was the opening day of the Peninsula Football
As-sociation, and the weather was all that could be desired, being
nice and mild, without any wind, so that it was a mat-ter of
indifference from which end the ball was kicked.
From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 15 May, 1915

PAGE 16 Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 13 May 2015
By Stuart McCulloughSO that, so it seems, is that. We will spend
over three hundred million dol-lars to not build something. Truth
be told, theres a lot of things I would be willing to not do for
three hundred million. Unloading the dishwasher, taking out the
bins and opening my credit card statements immediately spring to
mind. The whole debacle guarantees that in future the odds of
achieving a consensus regarding any major piece of infrastructure
are on par with Kim Jong-un replacing Zayne in One Direction. Or as
likely as hell freezing over which, as it happens, is itself
currently the subject of a cost / benefi t analysis by
Infrastructure Aus-tralia.
Regardless of whether you were for or against the East West
link, the end result is a massive blow to the exis-tential nether
regions. But although things right now may seem bleak, there is
something on the horizon that will, doubtless, restore the faith
and optimism our state so sorely needs. Soon business confi dence
will soar to such a level that it immediately buy a convertible and
start propositioning unsuspecting passers-by. But what, I hear you
ask, can a dispirited and downtrodden people possibly have to look
forward to? The answer is sim-ple: cage fi ghting.
When the history of this great state is written, it will rightly
record that the most recent state election was a ref-erendum on
cage fi ghting. There can be no doubt that our Government has an
unassailable mandate to introduce the sport of princes to an
enthusiastic and grateful public. Forget cricket, football and
soccer. Real sport wears
tights. And those who play real sports arent saddled with
useless, pedestrian run-of-the-mill names like David, Michael or
Lorraine. Instead, truly elite athletes have memorable
des-ignations like Bonecrusher, Lord Stink Breath and Dennis.
The great thing about cage fi ght-ing is that it relies on
nothing other than the skill and strength of the par-ticipants,
notwithstanding that a fi fty-dollar gift voucher from Bunnings
also comes in handy if you dont hap-pen to have a cage at your
immediate disposal. In the not too distant future, we will wonder
how we ever lived in a world without mixed martial arts and a few
cheeky metres of chicken wire. In fact, I predict that cage fi
ghting will soon be a part of everyday life. I, for one, long for
the day in the surely not too distant future when it becomes a
standard part of school sports car-nivals, right up there with
lacrosse
and tunnel ball. Every school already has the infrastructure.
You need only whack up an extra side on the cricket nets and voil
your cage-fi ghting arena awaits. You cant tell me teach-ers arent
looking forward to it.
For those naysayers who like to de-stroy everything new and
beautiful and precious, they can always pack a bag and move to
Western Australia the only domino in our martial-arts loving
Commonwealth yet to fall. Be-sides, its not as though the sport is
an-ything new. Just like democracy, cage fi ghting was invented by
the Ancient Greeks except they called it Pank-ration. Back then,
though, it was performed in colosseums rather than cages,
presumably because Bunnings would not be invented for another two
thousand years.
Of those who do object, some dont mind mixed martial arts so
much as the arena. Those people are, frankly, delusional. The cage
is so Im told all about safety. Whose safety, Im not altogether
sure. Besides, its also kind of romantic. By conducting this
violent and brutal sport in a cage, it gives the competitors
somewhere to put their I love you padlocks. And that, if nothing
else, should count for something.
But its not all extreme violence and grand romantic gestures.
Indeed, cage fi ghting is not just about mixed martial arts: its
about mixed feelings too. Be-cause when human beings step inside
quality fencing in the name of sport, it raises deep philosophical
issues. Genevan philosopher and part time MKR celebrity judge
Jean-Jacques Rousseau once wrote that Man is free, and everywhere
is chains. Old Jean-
Jacques was ninety percent right. Hu-mankind is not in chains,
its in a great big, glorious cage. But consider this: for decades
the world has worked to get chickens out of cages. In fact, we now
insist that our eggs be cage free. By putting our mixed martial
artists in wire cages, are we really saying that these elite
athletes are less important than a chicken?
Its a scientifi c fact that chickens are mankinds greatest
natural threat. Dont be fooled by their calm exterior beneath all
those feathers and cluck-ing lurks the black heart of a killer that
would rather rip your heart out through your chest than it would
lay you an egg. Thats why we kept them locked up for all those
years. Indeed, thats why when someone meets their demise we still
refer to fowl play (al-though, granted, its often misspelled). Over
decades, the oppressed poultry classes have lulled us into a false
sense of security and we suckers that we are have fallen for
it.
Having conned their way out of im-prisonment, the fi endish
fowls have gone one step further by convincing humans to get in
cages. They must be laughing at us. In fact, I wouldnt be a bit
surprised if at the next bout, the entire audience is made up of
chick-ens: Burford Browns, Buff Orping-tons and Afghan Subzwaris as
far as the eye can see. We must resist. Either we insist that mixed
martial arts are conducted in an entirely free-range environment or
we invite all poultry to settle this once and for all with a cage
fi ght for the ages. Theyd better accept, too, lest I should have
to call them, well, [email protected]
