Ready to shineMORNINGTON Park Primary School may not be one of the peninsula’s bigger schools, but principal Bev Dadds thinks it may well be the happiest. She last week welcomed a record 33 new prep pupils to the school including, from left, Ocean, Grace, Ryder and Oliver, taking total numbers to 163. Ms Dadds said the school was going through a boom in recent years, due in part to increasing numbers of families moving to the area, but mostly because of the nurturing community-focused learning environment that had been created. Mornington Park is also one of the only schools in Victoria to provide dual-stream learning, offering both Steiner and mainstream classes. “It’s a wonderful school, with a beautiful atmosphere and fantastic community – a real hidden treasure,” she said, adding that families from across the peninsula were now sending their children to the school.

VICTORIA’S most lucrative country cup meeting is growing in stature every year, as the Melbourne Racing Club continues to invest in Sportingbet Mornington Cup Day.
In 2014, $1 million will be up for grabs on the 10-race card, headlined by the richest non-metropolitan cup in Australia, the listed $350,000 Sportingbet Mornington Cup (2400m).
A ballot-exempt race for one of Australian racing’s grand slam events, the group one $3 million Caulfi eld Cup, the Mornington Cup this year is shaping as an exciting prospect, with several promising stayers aiming for cup glory at the picturesque peninsula jewel.
Racing’s leading lady, Gai Waterhouse, learnt a lot in her fi rst visit to Mornington last year and will again take aim at the top prize with dashing front-runner Laidback Larry.
Last year a fairytale story began in the Mornington Cup when elite jumper Tuscan Fire made the transition back to fl at racing with a bang, grinding his rivals into the ground with an all-the-way win to earn his connec-tions a Caulfi eld Cup dream.
This year will bring a mix of imported gallopers and gifted local talent from around Australia facing off in a true staying test, which has earned the Mornington Cup the tag as one of the hardest races to win on the national racing calendar.
A superb undercard is headed by the listed $120,000 Hareeba Stakes (1200m), while the $250,000 Inglis Premier (1200m) will again prove a nursery for future stars of the turf when the Inglis-purchased babies race for the rich prize.
The day’s features will round out with the culmina-tion of the Mitavite Summer Challenge, the $80,000 Mitavite Summer Challenge Final (1600m), a race train-ers from all round Victoria have targeted through some exhilarating heats in order to compete in the lucrative fi nal.
Experience the thrill of racing, Peninsula style at the 2014 Sportingbet Mornington Cup!
SPORTINGBET Mornington Cup day will have an extra special touch in 2014, with representatives of Love Your Sister on course to raise awareness of breast cancer and the need for more funding to help improve early detection.
Love Your Sister is the brainchild of renowned Aus-tralian entertainment personalities Samuel Johnson and his sister, Connie.
Having fought off a very rare and aggressive bone tumour at the age of 11 and another in her womb at 22, Connie, now 37 and a mother of two beautiful boys, is enduring her third battle with the disease, breast cancer, which has spread to her lungs, pelvis, spine and knee. This time it is terminal and she has a life expectancy of just 6-12 months.
Faced with the fi ght of her life, Connie set Samuel the toughest challenge she could think of. It started as a joke in the kitchen but turned into a promise to: Set a new Guinness World Record for the most dis-tance travelled on a unicycle; Raise $1 million, and; Spread Connie’s message of breast cancer awareness.
Samuel’s 15,000km unicycle mission is now near completion and concludes with a Welcome Home Samuel event at Mornington Racecourse on Saturday, February 15.
His mission to raise $1 million has already been ex-ceeded, with funds raised so far topping $1.3 million.
As part of the prelude to the big cup day event, mem-bers of the ‘sisterhood’ will be on course at Mornington on Wednesday, February 12.
Cup patrons will be encouraged to contribute to this wonderful, vital cause.

By Keith Platt and Chris BrennanWHILE Mornington’s hotels, cafes and restaurants are often overfl owing with patrons, the town has a hidden army of hungry people.
Virtually unseen are the hundreds of people being fed through vouchers, the SecondBite program, and breakfasts and lunches for schoolchildren.
Free dinners are now being served on Mondays and Fridays at Bellamy Hall, behind St Peter’s Church in Queen St.
Holidaymakers enjoying Morning-ton’s many attractions would be una-ware that Mornington Community In-formation and Resource Centre handed out 60 per cent more food vouchers in the past two weeks than over Christ-mas, its traditional busiest time.
“Many families have exhausted their fi nances over Christmas and the holiday and simply can’t afford back- to-school expenses,” resource centre manager Lisa Elliott said.
“We’re actually starting a soup kitch-
en, such is the level of need we see out there. It’s never happened before in Mornington so that tells you how bad things have become.
“Life is just too expensive for many families with the rising costs of rent, utility bills and car registration. There’s simply not enough money for people to make ends meet.”
The elderly were at the other end of spectrum: paying rent and bills before buying food.
Ms Elliott said many single elderly
people felt isolated. They had no mon-ey to spend and avoided the centre of Mornington.
“I want them to know they are part of this community and welcome here in town,” Ms Elliott said.
She said 30 people would sit down together for dinner on each of the two nights.
It would provide companionship as well as sustenance.
“We’re a village taking care of its own people.
“It’s those who don’t ask for charity who worry me.
“There’s a lot of money in Morning-ton, but there are people without jobs or skills. They are on low incomes, sometimes have mortgages, and quick-ly fall behind if there’s illness.”
The extent of the problem was graphically illustrated in the middle of last year when the SecondBite program began at St Mark.s Uniting Church in Mornington.

By Chris BrennanA NEW wave of micro-sized plastic pollutant is fi nding its way into Port Phillip in ever-increasing volumes, sparking growing concern among en-vironmental watchdogs who warn ur-gent monitoring and research into the problem is required.
Thousands of pre-production plastic pellets known colloquially as nurdles have been found throughout the wa-terway and on beaches as far south as Mornington, Dromana and Sorrento.
The tiny pellets – usually between 3-5 millimetres in diameter – are pet-rochemical products that are poured into moulds and melted down at facto-ries across the planet to form virtually everything made from plastic.
But increasing numbers of the pel-lets are escaping into the environment where they pose a deadly threat to wildlife.
Port Phillip Eco Centre director Neil Blake said birds and fi sh often mistook the pellets for food, which could not only result in starvation but also meant toxins they contained were entering the food chain.
“Research has proven that the pellets absorb other toxins,” he said. “They’re then swallowed by birds and fi sh, and enter the food chain, which is a serious concern.”
Mr Blake, who also heads the Bay-keeper education and advocacy pro-gram, said safety procedures at indus-trial plants were clearly inadequate, and research and monitoring efforts by marine groups to track nurdles were in their infancy.
He has begun conducting nurdle sur-veys at Port Phillip beaches, in parallel
with an existing seashell survey pro-gram run by Baykeeper, and recently visited Mornington, Dromana and Sor-rento.
“We found a number of them at these locations, which is a concern because they would have escaped from produc-tion facilities far away in the city and further inland,” he said.
“That they have made it to Sorrento is signifi cant and also indicates some may be washing into Bass Strait as well, so that’s a situation we really need to continue to monitor.
“Our suspicion is that the volume of this form of pollutant is incremental and ongoing, which rings the alarm on the management practices being em-ployed by industry from where they’re escaping.
“At this stage we don’t really know how signifi cant the problem is, but the evidence to date certainly rings alarm bells. We need to continue monitoring the situation to build a more compre-hensive picture over an extended pe-riod of time to gain a fuller picture of exactly how signifi cant the issue is.”
Mr Blake has issued a call to arms for peninsula “beach lovers” to sign up and hit the front lines in the battle to turn the tide on pollution in Port Phil-lip.
He said there was an urgent need for more volunteers to begin ongoing surveys at peninsula beaches to help monitor pollution and water health.
Volunteers need to spend only 20-30 minutes a week at a single location on an ongoing basis.
“We need citizen science to help build a clearer understanding of these trends,” he said. “We really need on-
going monitoring and observation, es-pecially now that there are far fewer professional marine scientists being employed to study Port Phillip.”
Baykeepers has been conducting regular and ongoing shellfi sh surveys at Port Phillip beaches for the past six years, which has helped build an on-going profi le of bay health.
“Shellfi sh play a vital role in recy-cling nutrients entering waterways so the shellfi sh population provides a good indication of the health of Port Phillip,” Mr Blake said.
To register interest in surveys, email Neil Blake through the website: www.bay-keeper.com

COMMUNITY MEETING - 2014/15 BUDGET PROCESS

By Mike HastWORK to replace the condemned, outer section of Mornington pier is set to start next week.
Parks Victoria contractor K V Johnson Con-structions will fi rst remove about 230 piles before building begins.
In May 2012, the state government announced it would spend up to $15 million to replace the outer, 75-metre section, closed since August 2010 after a series of storms.
Work was due to start before Christmas and stop for the peak season but Parks Victoria changed the construction schedule.
Mornington will have its new pier before Christmas 2014, taking the lion’s share of the government’s $23 million for local port infra-structure upgrades. When completed, the govern-
ment will have spent at least $18.5 million on the pier since August 2010 when the middle section was replaced.
Mornington MP David Morris said the new out-er section had been “designed to better withstand the conditions at Mornington”.
“While modern construction techniques and materials will be used to ensure the new pier is much more serviceable than the structure it re-places, the top will include timber decking and fi nishes in keeping with the historic precinct,” he said.
Mr Morris said the town’s fi rst pier was built in 1857. “A report on the planned pier, presented to both Houses of the Victorian Parliament in 1856, estimated the cost of the project at £4380.”
The new section would have wave screens to
better protect the harbour, he said. A low landing would enable easier access to boats, and provide a platform for fi shers.
Ports Minister David Hodgett said the pier was one of the most visited in Port Phillip with more than 2 million visits each year.
Part of the new, middle section will be closed to the public during construction.
In June 2011, The News reported the outer sec-tion was in danger of collapsing after engineers found 20 per cent of wooden pylons had failed or were about to fail and were not supporting the top deck.
About half of the remaining 80 per cent were in “average condition” and the outer section was one big storm away from becoming irreparable damaged. Luckily that storm did not arrive.

Diabetes camp alife saverFIFTY teens from across Victoria came together over the school holidays for a unique camp at Somers that aims to empower people with type 1 diabetes by teaching them to self-manage their illness.
Participants in the program not only gain valuable education and guidance into how to looking after their own health, they’re also able to connect into a large network of other teens living with type 1 diabetes.
Activities at the annual Diabetes Camp Australia event included swimming with dolphins, surfi ng, bowling and a disco on the last night. The camps are fully supervised with about 32 volunteers, 13 diabetes nurse educators, doctor, dietitian and dietitian assistant.
Among those at this year’s camp was Langwarrin teen Brii Kapetanovski who said the experience had taught her to never give up because “even at the darkest of times, even if you don’t believe it, or see it, there are people who have not given up on you”.
“There are people who are there to give every last bit of advice or help they can, just to make that little bit of difference to you – which is simply amazing,”
After being fi rst diagnosed with type 1 diabetes while in year 7, she
was forced to remain in hospital for a week and was told she wasn’t allowed home until she could do her multiple daily insulin injections and blood glucose testing by herself.
While she said the experience of living with diabetes was challenging, it was also often rewarding, and had in many way enriched her life.
“Diabetes gets in the way and shows up at the most awkward, inconvenient time, however to some extent it makes you, you,” she said. “It makes you value your life more and makes you look at things differently. ‘Just keep swimming’ as Dory [from Finding Nemo] would say.”
Brii said the best part of the camp had been swimming with seals and dolphins, but she also valued having honest conversations with fellow campers, leaders and health professionals and to “know that, 100 per cent, you are not judged”.
In a few years when Brii turns 18, she plans to return to camp as a leader, offering the same vital support she received.
Every year, 200 young people living with type 1 diabetes miss out on camps due to funding shortfalls. To help or for more information, visit www.diabetesvic.org.au

Keep on swimming: Langwarrin teen Brii Kapetanovski was able to swim with seals and dolphins while learning valuble skills at Diabetes Camp Australia in Somers.
By Chris BrennanRECORD numbers of Mornington Peninsula children took the fi rst steps on their 13-year education journey last week, with 2000 preps starting school.
They joined more than 23,000 stu-dents returning for the 2014 year at the peninsula’s 29 primary and six secondary schools.
Education Minister Martin Dixon said statistics showed this year’s in-take of preps was the biggest ever on the peninsula, with more young fami-lies choosing to move to the region, due in large part to Peninsula Link.
Department of Education forecast about 1500 prep enrolments in state schools this year in Mornington Pen-insula Shire, with hundreds more joining the Catholic and independent school systems.
This compares with 900 students starting year 7 and 800 entering year 12 at state secondary schools in the shire.
Mr Dixon said peninsula schools were well equipped to deal with the extra numbers, and welcomed the in-fl ux of families to the region.
“It just shows how the peninsula is becoming even more popular with young families who are now able to commute to work in much less time thanks to Peninsula Link while enjoy-ing the fantastic lifestyle the peninsula offers,” Mr Dixon said.
The Nepean MP said that in Victo-ria, more than 75,000 preps had joined the school system, in addition to more than 820,000 students who last week returned to school to start the year.
Record numbers at schools“The start of the school year is an ex-
citing time – and I am sure everyone is eager to get the year going,” Mr Dixon said.
However, charity groups have warn-ed back-to-school costs were pushing many peninsula families over the brink as parents struggled to fi nd extra funds to pay for uniforms, textbooks, camps, school service fees and other costs.
About 890,600 students will attend Victorian schools this year – the high-est on record – with 498,200 in pri-mary schools and 392,400 secondary students. About 562,900 students are attending government schools, com-pared to 337,700 in the private sector.
A new report shows Victorian stu-dents are staying in school longer than ever before, and are more likely to con-tinue on to further education.
The Productivity Commission’s 2014 Report of Government Services showed Victoria remained well ahead
of the national average participation rates at school and in higher education.
Mr Dixon said the fi ndings showed Victorian students placed a high value on education.
“It is pleasing to see Victoria has the highest retention rate for years 10-12 of any state … and also pleasing that Victoria is the only state with higher than 90 per cent school attendance rates in Years 1-10,” he said.
“This is an area where we are con-tinuing to seek improvement through our new attendance reforms.”
The report also showed Victoria had the best quality early childhood educa-tion and care in the country, with high-er kindergarten enrolment rates than any other state.
Under Australia’s new rating and as-sessment regime for the early learning sector, Victorian children’s services outperformed interstate counterparts, with 74 per cent of services either
meeting or exceeding national quality standards, compared to a national aver-age of 66 per cent.
More than 70,000 Victorian four-year-olds will be starting preschool this week, with participation rates at record highs.
Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development Wendy Lo-vell said four-year-old kindergarten was pivotal to children’s education.
“This is a very exciting time for Victorian families who, judging from record kinder participation rates (98.2 per cent in 2013), understand and ap-preciate the value of a high-quality kindergarten education,” she said.
“We know that high-quality early childhood education is crucial for child-ren in their early years as it helps them develop the skills they need to go on and thrive through their schooling years.” With the new school year having just begun, police have urged drivers to
take extra car on the roads, especially around schools.
Reduced speeds in school zones are now back in force, with hefty fi nes in place for drivers who fail to obey 40 or 60km/h speed limits.
State highway patrol Inspector Si-mon Humphrey said the reduced speed limits were in place around schools to protect children, who were our most vulnerable road users.
“Children can be unpredictable and drivers need to be aware of this,” he said.
“Unfortunately this excitement can lead to distraction when crossing the road or walking near parked cars. It’s important for drivers to avoid distrac-tion and drive safely in school zones.”
Inspector Humphrey said police were running a number of operations in school zones across the state and would be cracking down on those caught doing the wrong thing.
TOURISM operators on the penin-sula have had a stellar season so far with many reporting a 20 per cent or higher jump in sales and bookings on last year.
Final fi gures are still being compiled for Mornington Peninsula Shire’s an-nual summer round-up, which will be presented later this month.
Some operators have reported a large increase in visitors from Asia, and many tourists from overseas and Aus-tralia stayed longer and spent more.
Not everything has been smooth sail-ing with unseasonal windy weather and rough seas hampering Port Phillip cruises.
Some operators reported the highest-ever number of cancelled boat trips in December and January.
The four-day heatwave mid-January, the hottest ever recorded, was a dou-ble-edged sword with some holiday village owners reporting sales of pre-prepared meals, salad and wines “go-ing through the roof”.
But the blistering heat kept golfers away from the peninsula’s world-class courses. Late or last-minute bookings infl uenced by the weather are becom-ing the norm.
Foreshore campers are increasingly extending their bookings through to Easter.
The cherry on the tourism cake was just that – cherry farmers said the sea-son had been a bumper one with farms sold out on many days due to increased numbers of visitors.
Peninsula Link freeway being opened all summer has been partly re-sponsible for the increase in business. Many Melburnians have realised they can drive to the peninsula in about an hour.
Final fi gures are likely to show that the peninsula’s population increased by more than 70,000 people over sum-mer. The number of day-trippers also is likely to be far higher than last sum-mer.

WHILE eating an apple seems normal to most people, biting into the fruit is a major step forward for Emma Coles.
Seven-year-old Emma has started eating solid food after a prolonged battle with food aversion.
Efforts to overcome her fear of eating over the past six years have involved treatment in the United States and at Peninsula Health’s feeding clinic.
Emma was born at 27 weeks and began refusing all solids at 10 months before being diagnosed with a severe food aversion.
The condition caused her to become distressed by the sight, smell, touch and taste of food.
“Emma’s food aversion appeared to have been caused by diffi culties with processing sensory information such as smell, touch and taste,” Peninsula Health speech pathologist Danielle Surwald said.
“Consequently, as a young infant, Emma made strong associations between eating and negative experiences – feeling uncomfortable, nauseous – and developed a fear or phobia around food and eating.”
Ms Surwald has been working with Emma since 2007 in conjunction with dieticians.
The results have led to Emma now eating two small meals a day, with her lunchbox consisting of soup and yoghurt, replacing her previous formula-only diet. She now requires
one fortifi ed formula drink during school.
Ms Surwald said Emma was also learning how to bite and chew more solid foods.
Emma underwent a comprehensive food education program at a dedicated sensory therapy centre in the US known as STAR (Sensory Therapies And Research) at the beginningof 2012.
“The specialised non-profi t centre in Colorado provides children and their families with education about sensory regulation, social engagement and coaching,” Ms Surwald said.
“During her time at the clinic, Emma underwent an intensive program through which she achieved numerous feeding, physical and sensory tolerance goals.
“Most signifi cantly, Emma gained the ability to hold and play with food products as well as sitting at a table with food without high levels of stress or anxiety.”
Step forward: Emma Coles, right, is fi nally able to eat apples after years of
treatment for food aversion. Speech pathologist Danielle Surwald, left, is
part of the team that has beenhelping Emma get an appetite.

Continued from Page 1There were 54 people lining up on the fi rst day to re-
ceive fresh food “rescued” by SecondBite and distributed to needy people.
Ms Elliott said 85 people were now being fed each week by the program, saving them $30 to $40 a week.
Food was also being supplied to six other community or-ganisations for a further 130 people and Mornington Park Primary School, which served pupils breakfast daily and a roast one day a week.
Rotary Club of Mornington has given $3000 from its an-nual art show for a 10-week trial of the Monday and Friday dinners.
The meals are being prepared by the not-for-profi t Kar-ingal organisation in Rosebud as part of a training course.
Ms Elliott said the idea for providing the weekly meal nights originated at last year’s food security forum organ-ised by Mornington Peninsula Shire.
“The evidence we’re seeing tells us that things are cer-tainly tougher out there fi nancially than in previous years,” she said.
“Not only increased cost of living, but there’s also far less job security nowadays and that means more and longer gaps in income. This often means people simply can’t af-ford to pay the rent or have to go without food.
“It’s not fair for the government to turn around and blame the poor, our most vulnerable people. It takes the focus off the real issues, which are there’s not enough jobs to go around and welfare support is being wound back. It’s really alarming to see the gap between rich and poor widen so far.
“With every cutback, we have to fi ll the gap, and this puts us under strain. We’re already under severe fi nancial stress.”
In the past fi nancial year, the support service has helped 5160 families and individuals by providing $74,000 worth of food vouchers; $20,000 in food parcels; $10,000 in donated bread; $10,000 toward school expenses; and $8400 rent arrears to prevent eviction.
Ms Elliott said cooking classes were being planned for younger people: “There’s a whole generation of people out there who can’t cook.”
The dinner will be served at 5.30pm on Mondays and Fridays in Bellamy Hall in Albert St, which is behind St Peter’s Anglican Church in Queen St.
Meals for needyMeals for needy Award for Award for surgeonsurgeonBREAST cancer surgeon Belinda Jane Brown has received an OAM for “service to medicine”.
One of Dr Brown’s patients was former Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor and now Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley.
Ms Graley had a mastectomy in 2008 and remains appreciative of her care and expertise.
“Belinda is highly valued by the many hundreds of women who have been treated by her and I am sure they share in her joy that she is being acknowledged with the award,” Ms Graley said.
“She always calls a spade a spade, but you are in no doubt that she will give her all to assisting you at one of the worst times in any woman’s life.
“She is hardworking and compas-sionate and resolute in her fi ght to make sure her patients get the best treatment, including dealing with the tears. She handed me the tissue box and reached out to me with kindness and good advice.
“Like others I will always be thank-ful.”
Dr Brown, whose clinic is in Tanti Ave, Mornington, established a breast cancer service on the peninsula in 1992.
Before working at Frankston Hos-pital, Peninsula Private and Monash Breast Screen in 1993, she was at Hull Royal Infi rmary Hospital in the United Kingdom.
She has been a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons since 1990 and was a foundation member of Breast Surgeons of Australia and New Zealand.
MORNINGTON’S University of the Third Age has installed an online enrolment system.
It has enabled the group to place members in 168 courses and activities for the beginning of 2014 in a process completed in days rather than weeks using the old paper-based system.
Months of planning and installation was led by tutor and computer expert Peter Norton.
“We are the fi rst of more than 100 U3A branches in Victoria to install a more effi cient, member-controlled system,” he said.
“In the past, volunteer members had to manually process large volumes of data over the summer break. The system is part of an upgrade of administrative and teaching facilities to meet the needs of a growing membership.”
U3A Mornington is a voluntary, not-for-profi t organisation and one of three peninsula branches with a combined membership of 2000, mainly retired and semi-retired men and women.
Mr Norton said U3A offered courses and activities that were “intellectually stimulating, creative and practical”. They included languages, computers, science, philosophy, history, literature, arts, crafts, food, exercises for mind and body, health topics, fi lm and book review groups, and travel and excursions.
The group meets at Currawong Community Centre, 5-17 Currawong St, Mornington. Details: 5975 9773, email: [email protected] or online: www.u3amornington.org.au

By David HarrisonOWNERS of laser printers, especially colour ones, are turning increasingly to non-genuine toner cartridges or refi lling their empty ones, ig-noring manufacturers’ warnings that this could invalidate the printer warranty.
With branded cartridges costing more than $100, refi lls or non-genuine cartridges can cost half as much or less. A quiet revolt against high toner prices appears to be worldwide.
My printer – requiring cyan, magenta, yel-low and black (CMYK) cartridges, each costing a three-fi gure price – recently told me it would print nothing further until I replaced the colour cartridges. Plenty of black, because the cartridge was fairly new, but no C, M or Y, according to the printer message.
A quick look on the internet proved useful: the geeks have been at work on the ink problem.
Some black ink cartridges can be brought back to life temporarily by simply removing and shak-ing them to redistribute toner. This does not nec-essarily work with colour laser printers, which are generally more sophisticated.
With colour printers, manufacturers build in ways of letting people know toner cartridges have run dry. But have they really run out?
Some printers have laser beams that check ton-er level. The beam is aimed horizontally through a window in the cartridge: when toner empties suffi ciently, the beam strikes a refl ector in the cartridge opposite the window. This triggers a “low toner” message.
The geek solution: block the laser beam with a bit of putty-like material so it can’t monitor the toner level. Downside: you might run out of toner at an inconvenient time.
One printer owner reported his 3750 pages-per-cartridge mono printer produced several thou-
Geeks come bearing Geeks come bearing laser printer savingslaser printer savings
sand more pages per cartridge when the beam was blocked.
Another printer has CMYK cartridges each with a cog that revolves as printing occurs. All cogs revolve at the same rate. When cogs reach a mechanical stop, the “out of toner” message is activated, presumably even if toner remains in most of the cartridges. This may occur if most of your printing uses just black toner.
Geek solution: remove the cartridges and care-fully reposition the cogs to their starting point, so the printer thinks that toner remains – which it does. Then the toner will keep fl owing until it runs out, or the cogs again reach the stop.
It makes sense for printer makers to include ways to warn of imminent lack of toner. But it is expensive stuff, not to be wasted by premature cartridge replacement.
Check online, by searching for your printer make and model, to see if the geeks – clever peo-ple, all – have found a way to help you get the most out of your cartridges.
Or you might decide to refi ll your cartridges at home, or have it done professionally, rather than buying new ones. Many do that now. Either way you might save hundreds of dollars a year.

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, 7 February 1914IN the next few months, the railway department will spend £79,000 in additions and improvements to vari-ous lines by relaying with heavier rails and providing extra sleepers and ballast. Among the lines affected will be the line between Mornington Junction and Stony Point, a distance of 14 miles.
***A BUSH fi re that may have been at-tended with very serious consequenc-es, started near the Mile Bridge, Melbourne road, on Sunday last. Several properties were threatened, but owing to the splendid efforts of a band of fi re-fi ghters, no serious dam-age was done.
***IN our report of the Frankston show, a slight error occurred. Miss Q. Cam-eron was credited with taking second prize for best piece of plain sewing, it should have read Miss Q. Gamble.
***THE net proceeds of the concert given by Lady Madden last week in the Frankston Hall, in aid of St. Paul’s church funds, amounted to over £23. This constitutes a record in Frankston, and is highly gratifying to the guardians of the church.
***THE Hastings branch of the Austra-lian Women’s National League held their fi rst meeting this year in the hall, on January 29th, with a fair at-tendance of members present. A reso-lution was carried that the donation to “Central” this year be increased by 10s, making it £2. The president
read a paper by Mrs Arthur Robin-son, entitled “Duties of Citizenship,” and the meeting closed with “The National Anthem.”
***MISS Betty Plowman has matricu-lated at the Melbourne University. She qualifi ed for matriculation by passing in eleven subjects (two with distinction) at the Junior Public and in Group “A” at the Senior Public Examination. The subjects in the junior embraced three in Science, viz. Physics, Chemistry and Botany. She proposes to prosecute her studies at the University in the School of Architecture with the view of obtain-ing the University Diploma on that subject.
***MR J. A. Middleton, who for the past 16 years has been in the employ of Messrs A. Nunn and Sons, Somer-ville, has been appointed manager at the Federal cash store in Mornington.
***THE anniversary social of the Tyabb Methodist Church is advertised to take place in the Tyabb Hall on Fri-day, February 13. A good programme has been arranged, and the Somer-ville choir will render the cantata “A Day With The Lord.” Owing to the length of the programme, patrons are requested to be punctual.
***THE death occurred at Frankston on Wednesday evening of Mrs Halford, mother of Mrs Bath, of Frankston. The deceased lady has been ailing for some time, and her death was not un-expected. Our readers will join with us in extending heart-felt sympathy to Mrs Bath and other relatives of the
deceased in their time of bereave-ment. The funeral took place on Thursday, the remains being interred at St. Kilda.
***AT the Mornington police court on Thursday, before Messrs Vivian Tan-ner, P.M., George Flood, A. E. Bates, J. D. Somers, and J. G. Barrett, J.’sP., Thos. Scott Berwick sued Harold Miller for 19s 9d, claim for meat sold and delivered. Order for amount with 2s 6d costs. Constable Banks v. John Howell, charged with driving a mo-tor cycle in Main street, Mornington, on 26th January, at a speed danger-ous to the public. The defendant, who did not appear, was fi ned 40s, in default distress, and ordered to
produce his licence for endorsement. Helen McMahon v. Thos. O’Connell. Defendant was charged with perjury committed at Mornington on 18th September, 1913, in connection with the sale of a pony. Major McInerney appeared for the prosecution, and Mr W. S. Cook for defendant. After a good deal of evidence on both sides, the Bench were unanimous in dismissing the case, no costs being allowed.
***THE bathing fatality which occurred at Sorrento on 17th January was in-vestigated at the Morgue on Saturday by the City Coroner, Dr. R. H. Cole. The facts have already been pub-lished. Charles Rutherford Browne, 39, single, manager of Mangaroon Station, Western Australia, dived into shallow water, and, striking his head heavily on the sandy bottom, was killed. Allan Phillip McLean, auc-tioneer, Claremont avenue, Malvern, said that he and Mr Browne went bathing in a private bath at Sorrento, and arranged a temporary spring-board. In diving Browne appeared to over-jump the board, and he fell head foremost into about 4 feet of water. When he came to the surface he was dazed and breathing heav-ily. He died before medical aid was obtained. Constable R. Brennan said the insecure way in which the board was fi xed contributed to the accident. A verdict of accidental death was returned.
***DURING the week, three highly esteemed families of Mornington, who have recently disposed of their properties, have taken their
departure, and the best wishes of the community has been extended to them. Mr and Mrs A. McLellan intend residing in the Metropolis, and their property in Main street has been purchased by Mrs Williams. Mr G. T. Jenkins, who for many years has been in the employ of Mr R. Nunn as manager at the Federal cash store. and who recently purchased a busi-ness at Maffra, left for that town on Thursday. Mr Jenkins’ property was purchased by Mrs S. Bradford. Mr and Mrs Board have taken up their abode at Mentone, and their villa in Barkly street has been purchased for the Presbyterian manse.
***A DEPUTATION of dairy farmers on Wednesday requested the Railway Commissioners to permit milk from Carrum to be conveyed to the city by the 8.28 a.m. train, as was the custom some time ago. This train is the through train from Mornington, and owing to the department’s refusal to permit milk from Carrum to be carried by it, the deputation stated that it could not be despatched before 9.46 a.m., and thus arrived in the city during the hottest part of the day. As a result, losses were being sustained by the farmers, and the city venders were complaining of the bad condi-tion of the milk. The Commissioners said they had refused to carry milk from Carrum by the 8.28 a.m. train in order to prevent delaying passen-gers, but nevertheless the milk was landed in the city by the 9.46 a.m. train as was milk from other districts. Therefore there was not much cause for complaint. However, they would give the request consideration.

Fire Restrictions are now in forceCFA declares the Fire Danger Period at the onset of warmer weather when fires in the open air are legally restricted. This is to help prevent fires from starting as dry vegetation and hot weather increase the incidence of fires accidentally starting and spreading.
These restrictions are in place until 1 May unless revoked or varied. In State forests, National, State and Regional Parks and on protected public land, fire restrictions are in force all year round. Contact local DSE and Parks Victoria offices for advice on fire restrictions for these areas.
The penalties for lighting fires illegally during the Fire Danger Period and on
Total Fire Ban Days include large fines and possible imprisonment.
During this period, permits are required for anyone to light a fire in the open. Permits can be downloaded directly from the CFA website or you can call your CFA Regional Office on 9767 1800.
Fire Danger Ratings The Fire Danger Rating predicts how a fire would behave if one started, including how difficult it would be to put out. The higher the rating, the more dangerous the conditions.
The rating is your trigger to act, so to stay safe you need to stay aware of the Fire Danger Rating in your district. During the fire season, the Fire Danger Rating will feature in weather forecasts and be broadcast on radio and TV and appear in some newspapers.
It can also be found on the CFA website or by calling the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667
Total Fire Bans Total Fire Bans are declared by CFA on days when fires are likely to spread rapidly and be difficult to control.
On a day of Total Fire Ban you can’t light any kind of fire outside, including campfires or bonfires. The same goes for your barbecue if it uses liquid fuel, or a solid fuel such as wood, charcoal or briquettes.
To find out exactly what you can and can’t do on a Total Fire Ban day, go to cfa.vic.gov.au or call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667.
Reporting Illegal Burn off During the declared Fire Danger Period Residents who suspect illegal burning off during the Declared Fire Danger Period should report it to the Police on 000. The CFA website cfa.vic.gov.au provides information on what people can and can’t do during the Declared Fire Danger Period and Days of Total Fire ban.

True tales of a ‘tin eater’True tales of a ‘tin eater’By Stuart McCulloughSECRETLY, I am ashamed. I watch others eat their meals with knives and forks, and feel something of a pang, wishing that I, too, could accept the conventional approach to eating a meal. But it’s too late for me. Years of training mean that I must take the road less travelled and consume my meals, not at the table with a fi stful of cutlery, but in the pantry and directly from the jar. For I choose to consume my ingredients not in combination but one at a time. For I am a tin eater, plain and simple.
The life of a tin eater is one fi lled with subterfuge and stealth. Hav-ing two brothers and two sisters meant there was very little I could do that escaped detection. For some reason, siblings feel oddly compelled to announce everything you do at a volume somewhere just below “air raid siren” and a pitch slightly beneath dog whistle. You could be forgiven for thinking in such a harsh environment that I’d be unable to get away with anything, but that would be to underestimate the inexhaustible nature of human ingenuity.
We’d be sitting together in the lounge room, all fi ve us, watching a movie. Without so much as a word, I’d attempt to slip out of my chair. I say “attempt” as the seat in question was not the conventional four-legged variety but a beanbag. It’s a scientifi c fact that getting out of a beanbag is akin to attempting to break a bear hug executed by an actual bear. You can no more slip out of a beanbag
than you can throw a tennis ball and land it on the moon. Getting out of the upholstered, velour quicksand required you to roll over several times to the fl oor before pushing yourself to your feet.
At fi rst, my brothers and sisters would say nothing. I would then make my way to the kitchen and begin a process I like to think of as “visual grazing”. This involved a full reconnaissance of the pantry.
For many families, the pantry is an expansive area that permits you to ob-serve all the food your family has to offer. Ours, however, was something of an afterthought, squeezed into a space that was originally intended for a broom cupboard. The fi rst chal-lenge, however, was to open the door without alerting my siblings.
I am sure that we possessed oil. Given that we had a shed that pre-served everything including a used
plaster cast from when I broke my leg, there was bound to be a can of WD40 somewhere. And yet, for some reason, the hinges of our pantry were forever squeaky.
To open it was to unleash a sound that resembled a choir of mice after someone had poured a bucket of cold water on them. Perhaps that was ex-actly the point. No matter where our parents were, they could instantly tell when the pantry was being violated. My father could be off in the back paddock and using a chainsaw, but would cease as the sound of a mouse-like chorale drifted across the valley. If it was impossible to put anything past someone in the back paddock, there was no hope of eluding those in the living room.
Using the kind of care normally associated with detonating an explo-sive, I would begin to prise open the pantry. No matter how careful I was, it would never fail to emit a tortured squeal. At the very fi rst note, there would be a challenge from my broth-ers and sisters. The words “what are you doing?” rang out like a demand to stand and deliver. In truth, they knew full well what I was up to. The only thing more ridiculous than the question was my standard response of “nothing” when, in fact, nothing couldn’t be further from the truth.
When faced with all manner of foodstuffs, most people would be tempted to create some kind of snack or meal. I, on the other hand, thought this would simply delay the inevita-ble. Rather than mess around with the
black magic that is actual cooking, I preferred to jemmy the lid off various containers and eat directly from the tin. The trick was to complete stuffi ng my mouth before curiousity got the better of one of my brothers or sisters who, having failed to be satisfi ed by my earlier response of “nothing”, would decide to come to the kitchen to personally investigate.
Milo was a particular favourite. Truth be told, I ate more of it from the tin than I ever did as a drink. Some-times our parents would mess with the formula and purchased drink-ing chocolate instead. Although the drinking chocolate was exquisitely tasty, the power was much fi ner and meant that if you were to breathe in at the wrong time, your throat would convulse, causing you to choke and a small cloud of chocolate drinking powder to burst over your lips like an eruption from a long-dormant volcano.
Truth be told, some of the fi n-est meals I ever ate were consumed behind the pantry door. It’s something I’ve since given up. Whether that’s because I grew out of it or because our current pantry doesn’t have a door, and is all the less thrilling as a result, I truly couldn’t say.
Whenever I go to a restaurant, I am often left to lament that the meals arrive fully prepared and guests are denied the elicit joy that comes from sampling the ingredients individually while the chef is in the back paddock.www.stuartmccullough.com

PROVINCIALBy IT GULLYMT Eliza has already taken fi rst innings points against Long Island in MPCA Provincial cricket.
In a must-win game for Mt Eliza to ensure it stays in touch with the top four, the bowlers stepped up and tore through the Long Island batting.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, only three Long Island batsmen made double fi gures in a team total of 78.
Aaron Paxton opened with a top score of 25, while Michael Chaplin contributed 15 and Peter Connell 14.
Justin Bridegman and Paul Hartle were both dismissed without contributing to the scorecard.
The day certainly belonged to the bowlers.
Robert Maskiell had his best return for the season with 4/20 for Mt Eliza, only the second time this season he has taken multiple wickets.
Sam Creffi eld was just as damaging with 3/36 from 13 overs while Lyle House fi nished things off with 2/12 from 4.5 overs.
In the chase, the home side got away to a shaky start, losing openers House and Ben Tracey early, but Tim Strickland and Chris Wisbey got things back on track and shared an 84-run partnership.
Another mini collapse, though, saw the Mounties slump to 6/145 by the end of the day’s play.
It was still enough to give them the
points and it’s highly unlikely that there will be a reverse outright.
Crib Point escaped jail against Langwarrin, thanks largely to Adam Kuelen (37), Luke Chapple (58), Ricky Thompson (25) and Warren Herrington (31).
The Magpies were in all sorts of trouble early in their innings, reeling at 5/29 at one point.
Left-arm opening bowler Matt Davie got the Kangas away to a fl ier, taking the fi rst fi ve wickets of the match. At one stage he had fi gures of 5/17, and fi nished with 6/40.
Dwayne Doig bowled 28.4 overs and fi nished with 4/40.
Crib Point batted for 75 overs, which netted 194 runs. A great result for the Pies considering where they
were at one stage.Crib Point then got the start it was
looking for with the ball, snaring the wicket of David Ross. Langwarrin will resume next weekend at 1/7.
Mornington continues to rack-up the runs, this time scoring 8/293 against Heatherhill. The Hills are no chance in this one.
Moorooduc already has victory against Rye.
The Demons batted fi rst and made just 100, Darren Groves top-scoring with 25.
Sushant Gupta picked up 4/23 for the Ducs and Bobby Wilson snared 3/35.
With the bat, the Ducs were in real trouble at 5/40 with Wilson back in the sheds, but Jarryd Bailey (49
not out) and Nick Williams (37 not out) resurrected the innings and took Moorooduc to 5/129 at stumps.
A massive 139 from Baxter skipper Daniel Warwick has his side in the box seat against top-of-the-table Sorrento.
Warwick almost played a lone hand in the innings, although Travis Sawers was back in the First XI after a long spell in the seconds and contributed 36.
Ryan O’Connor was the pick of the Sorras’ bowlers with 4/89, while Nick Davern claimed 3/73.
The match between Mt Martha and Peninsula Old Boys is sure to go down to the wire after the Reds scored 248 on Saturday.
DISTRICTBy IT GULLYBONEO said goodbye to its ordinary batting this season and racked up a massive 301 in 74.1 overs against Main Ridge on Saturday.
Knowing the visiting Boneo had been ordinary at best this season with the bat, Main Ridge did not hesitate to send them in after winning the toss.
Boneo skipper Leigh Lowry (18) has shouldered a lot of the scoring responsibility but on Saturday those around him dug deep.
Jack Fowler opened with 60, Ryan Jellie hit 42, Glen Peterson (69) made it two half centuries in three matches and Cameron Williams clubbed 41, which included four sixes.
Jordan McCully was the pick of the Ridge bowlers with 4/47.
With the ball, Boneo couldn’t have asked for a better start either, Jellie picking up opener Jacob McWilliams for a duck.
The home side will resume at 1/2.The teenagers who Carrum rely so heavily on
to take wickets were asked to resurrect a poor day with the bat against Flinders.
When teens Jackson Fry and Lachy Dobson were bought to the crease together on Saturday, the Lions were in all sorts of trouble at 9/78.
When Dobson lost his wicket for 76, the scorecard read all out for 184 off 79 overs.
While Dobson did the bulk of the scoring, Fry hung around and contributed 29.
Earlier, Matt Burns had torn through the Carrum batting line-up. He fi nished with 6/48 from 29 overs.
The Sharks ended up using eight bowlers in a bid to separate Dobson and Fry.
Jon Guthrie hit an unbeaten 109 and Delacombe Park skipper Chris Brittain hit 100 against Baden Powell.
The Parkers fi nished the day at 6/313, far too many for the Braves to track down.
Anjula Perera was the best of the Braves bowlers with 4/67, while Nathan Rice claimed 2/68.
Seaford Tigers have already won their match against Ballam Park.
The Knights batted fi rst and made 149, before the Tigers belted a quick-fi re 5/191. Expect a massive attempt at an outright on day two.
Somerville will be looking for an outright win against Seaford.
The Eagles batted fi rst on Saturday and compiled 6/311, Keith Burdett winding back the clock with an unbeaten 74, Andrew West scoring 60, Justin Allsop 54 and Ben Delaney 32.
Damien Lawrence was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 4/98.
After declaring its innings, Somerville ‘s bowlers snared 3/20, Allsop picking up 2/0.

SUB-DISTRICTBy IT GULLYPEARCEDALE showed plenty of fi ght in its match against Balnarring.In a must-win game for the Panthers, they performed terribly with the bat, bundled out for just 115.
Matt Cousland top-scored at the top of the innings for Pearcedale with 26, and skipper Kaine Smith (18) and Pat Gamble (19) did their best to take the score to three fi gures.
The Panthers then needed to produce something special with the ball if they were any chance of defending 115.
Shayne Gillings, Chris Dew and Kaine Smith all brought their best to the pitch, Gillings snaring 3/12 from 10 overs, Dew 2/28 from 10 overs (as well as a run-out) and Smith grabbing 1/11 off six.
Balnarring will resume this week in big trouble at 7/52.
Rosebud has placed itself in a wonderful position to upset the all-conquering Red Hill.
The Buds batted fi rst and although they didn’t bat their overs, still scored 166.
Matty Maher top-scored for the Buds with 55 and Jason Nagel contributed a timely 32 batting at number 10.
Ross Corfi eld was the best of the Hillmen bowlers with 3/18 off 14 overs, and Nick Wood claimed 2/11.
The Buds bowlers then took the Hillmen apart, picking up 4/68 in 18 overs. Simon Dart (27) and Andrew Brown (23) are both back in the sheds, as are openers Riley Shaw and Ken Sullivan.
James Magee and Brian Doughty each took two wickets for Rosebud.
Frankston YCW is just 36 runs shy of victory against Dromana.
The Hoppers batted fi rst and made just 131. YCW will resume at 0/95.
Tootgarook scored a monstrous 407 against Skye.
Tyabb has set Carrum Downs 255 for victory.
The Yabbies batted for 75 overs while the Cougars used eight bowlers for the afternoon.
Josh Spittal was the best of them with 3/25 from 6.4 overs, while Chamara Perera claimed 2/45.

FRANKSTON Bombers has appointed last year’s Under-18 coach Ben Hall as its senior coach.
The appointment came after the resignation of Duncan Proud, who quit the job after just one season.
Proud said that he resigned for “personal reasons”.
He said leaving had nothing to do with the fact that between 15 and 20 players have left the club.
Nathan and Ryan Lonie, Shaun Wilkey, Shane Vandervalk, Haydn Moore, Brian O’Carroll, Luke Lewis and a host of under-18 players are among those to leave.
Proud said he would stay with the Bombers as a player in 2014.
