Indie musician Ben Jansz began playing the guitar when he was just 10 years old, beginning a musical journey that’s led him to become a local legend. Propelled by his blues and folk-influenced sound, Ben has gigged all over Australia and New Zealand and recently performed as a travelling musician on the Faces of Frankston ‘Faces on the Train’ event.

What’s your proudest achievement?

My proudest achievement would have to be releasing my first EP and getting to support one of my favourite artists, Kim Churchill.

How do you balance music with the rest of your life?

I am 100 per cent committed to the music. I’m currently living in a van and go wherever the gigs take me. I paint, draw and make jewellery when I’m not jamming away but I really have nothing that is getting in the way of my passion.

What’s your advice to budding local musicians?

Keep it raw and unique. Show the passion when you perform because I love seeing that when I watch artists on stage. Also, dedicate time during the day to make those calls and send out those emails for gigs, events, festivals and ticketed shows; you never know how many shows you can do if you don’t try.

What are you currently working on and what’s next?

I have just finished writing a 12-track, genre-less album called Get Found. I am starting to record again very soon and will be releasing a few singles over the next six months.

Why do you love where you live and how does it inspire what you do?

I love where I live but I also love Australia - getting in my van and just going where the music takes me. I’ve fallen in love with northern NSW but I love the Peninsula just as much. A change of environment and meeting new people inspires me the most.

Vegemite sandwiches, cuddles with humans and walks to the kitchen make Ed a happy camper. Ed the emu enjoys his new paddock at home with Ella after he was politely asked to leave the Moonlit Sanctuary because he was causing a ruckus with his friends.  Sound familiar?

“He was fighting with the other emus and trying to mate the keepers!” says Ella.

So this excitable young man was offered to Ella, a self-confessed emu nut who had worked previously at the sanctuary. She knew Ed was lovely and that he’d fit right in with her four other emus. Ed was enthusiastically added to the flock; however, it didn’t go to plan.

“The other emus ostracised him. His lack of social skills with the other emus were the downfall; he just couldn’t seem to build a relationship with any of them. He now happily coexists with chooks, dogs, and cats. Humans are definitely his friend of choice; even my friends’ toddlers just adore him.”

This endearing feathered friend follows everyone into the house, and if you’re not careful you’ll often find him in the kitchen. He’s a fussy eater and will always take a cuddle over food. Generally, he settles on eating what the chooks eat but is extremely partial to a Vegemite sandwich.

“All emus like sandwiches, especially Vegemite sangas, which is why most humans have a fear of emus,” Ella explains.  “If you go into a paddock with emus and you don’t have a sanga, they’ll generally leave you alone.”

Ella has never had a fear of emus and now we know the secret to taming them - or buying their love.  Surprisingly, Ella the emu whisperer fails in one regard at keeping mischievous Mister Ed in line. Ed is a good-looking rooster with a long tail - and he knows it. Therefore, when it comes to mating season, he’s cheeky and isn’t picky at all – he’s even shown interest in a dog!  This is OK because Ed is more like a dog anyway, according to Ella. It’s a result of lots of human contact at the sanctuary, so in turn he’s not the stereotypical “scatty emu”.

This birdbrain is such a character and enjoys the odd selfie bomb with Ella, and she doesn’t mind at all.

A wander along Boggy Creek in Langwarrin prompted Suzie Webster to form Friends of Langwarrin Outdoors and Waterways (FLOW).  Suzie was on her daily afternoon walk with her mum and toddler when they became increasingly frustrated by how bad rubbish and pollution was in the area.

“Then one day we saw some brand-new ducklings trying to swim around and over plastic bags, bottles and Styrofoam balls,” Suzie said.  “Just like that we went and started picking it up each week. We then decided that we needed to actually start a group so we could have more people helping us as the problem was too big for us.”

FLOW’s four main members - Suzie, her mum, Nicole and Wayne - are supported regularly by eight other volunteers, and Suzie’s toddler Max even joins in on the mission. The group’s biggest concern is the Langwarrin environment and the encroaching development on open spaces, and its main goal is to protect and conserve the environment of Langwarrin as well as educate the community and motivate people to get on board.

“We have a vast array of wildlife in Langwarrin and we are losing so much of their habitat. The impact that litter is having on the environment is a huge concern also.”

FLOW’s next big clean-up is on Sunday, September 24, from 10am-noon and will focus on Boggy Creek and the area around Lloyd Park, where the group collected a disgusting total of 418kg of rubbish during Clean Up Australia Day last March.  Everyone is welcome to get involved, and there will be a barbecue lunch afterwards for the volunteers.

FLOW targets areas for clean-ups as well as other issues as they are brought to its attention by other nature lovers. The group is currently fighting the potential subdivision of Cruden Farm as well as the development of 16 units that are planned for the edge of Boggy Creek in Athol Court, Langwarrin.  It successfully lobbied for wildlife crossing signs in several areas in Langwarrin as well as the installation of extra rubbish bins, and it regularly consults VicRoads and Frankston Council regarding the state of roadsides covered in litter and the illegal dumping of rubbish.

“We are also trying to ban the use of plastic ‘donation’ bags for clothing collections, as the bags end up in the waterways and the clothes end up strewn across the roads.”

To become aware of the environmental issues affecting us and to join FLOW’s spring clean-up, make sure to follow the group on Facebook @FLOWenvironmentalgroup.  We must look after where we live!

Madison Daniel has been singing and acting since birth and is now living her dream in sunny Los Angeles.  At just 20 years old, Madison has already scored some mega roles, including her recent stint playing Hugo Weaving’s daughter in the Aussie drama Seven Types of Ambiguity.

“I was in LA when my Australian manager called me and said that the casting director for ABC really liked my work,” the Peninsula resident says. “I filmed a scene for her to watch that wasn’t for any particular project so I just had fun with it. About a week later my manager called me again and said, ‘Hey, you’ve got this role on a new ABC series playing Hugo Weaving’s daughter’.”

Luckily, the show’s filming schedule lined up with her planned trip home, and soon after touching back down in Melbourne Madison was shooting alongside superstars like Hugo and Xavier Samuel.  “Hugo is such a cool and interesting character in himself so it was awesome to call him ‘Dad’.”

Since the series wrapped up, Madison has returned to LA and is busy auditioning around the city for such producers as Leonardo DiCaprio and Kevin James, and offices such as Warner Bros, Paramount and Fox.  “I’m really getting into comedy as I’ve always enjoyed auditioning for Disney and Nickelodeon. My plan is to be cast in a CW Network teen series,” she says. “I’m also writing (music) every day and working with producers creating new songs and filming music videos.”

Madison’s family have been nothing but supportive of her dream; her grandfather was a “musical genius” who taught her piano and music theory, and her auntie is a singer. “Hands down my biggest inspiration comes from my family and I’m learning more and more each day how important their support, spirit and guidance has been for me to manifest what I want to achieve, be myself at whatever cost and believe that I can do anything that I set my mind to.”

So, besides her family, what does Madison miss most about home?  “The non-LA traffic - it seriously sucks. I miss driving too; I take on average 28 Ubers a week! I also miss not being across the road from the beach instead of travelling 30 minutes to an hour to Santa Monica or Venice.”

A self-professed ‘Hannah Montana’ who’s got the best of both worlds, Madison loves travelling between Australia and the US to pursue her goals. Stay tuned, folks!

Street art is about to take over key locations in Frankston’s city centre, transforming bleak walls with blazes of colour.

Frankston City Council and the State Government have combined their artistic visions as part of the $63 million Frankston station precinct redevelopment that will add to the city’s appeal as a place in which to live, work, study, invest and visit.

“Council has had a long-term commitment towards delivering free public art right across the municipality,” Mayor Brian Cunial said.

Cr Cunial said there was a strong desire to make Frankston City a destination for visitors and investors as well as students, workers and residents. This initiative will bring more business and people to the city centre and create an inviting outdoor exhibition for everyone to enjoy.

“We want to create a sense of arrival as part of the Frankston station precinct redevelopment. We’ll do this by making the laneways in the heart of our city more interesting, engaging and attractive for everyone who walks through.”

A street art festival over the 2018-19 summer is also part of the plan and will feature street artworks, installations, demonstrations, and tours of Frankston’s laneways.  Frankston state Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said the festival will engage local, national and international artists as well as youth programs and schools to participate and show off their artistic flair.

“This street art masterplan complements the existing works including redeveloping Young St, building the new train station and removing the Overton Rd level crossing, which will transform Frankston's heart into a more attractive and safe environment which will attract locals and tourists alike,” Mr Edbrooke said. “The Victorian Government's funding of the masterplan will contribute to Frankston reaching its full potential by attracting locals to the largest city on the Peninsula.”

With $165,000 allocated over three years, the street art framework identifies four key zones to be part of the creative transformation. Included in the first zone are Gallery Lane, Stiebel Place, Wells and White streets, Station Mall and Balmoral St, and Ross Smith Ave East.

Instead of having to travel into the CBD to test your photograph skills on stunning street art, soon your perfect Instagram post will be right on your doorstep. 

Bella May is having the standout year of her sporting life. At just 11 years old, this Seaford youngster is leaving her competitors in the dust as she blazes a brilliant path on two wheels.

Bella’s already gained the title of BMX racing national champion and nothing’s going to stop her in her bid to one day represent Australia at the Olympics.

Currently seeded No.1 in her age group, she puts her amazing success down to her “never give up” attitude. This includes training five times a week and setting personal goals that she strives to reach every day.

This mature young lady with attitude to boot also holds the No.1 ranking in Victoria and the ACT.  She captained the Australian girls’ team to victory against New Zealand and next month she will again represent Australia against New Zealand, but this time as the team’s No.1 rider.

Frankly Frankston asked Robyn May how her daughter got involved in BMX. “We drove past (the Frankston BMX Club) by chance when there was an event on and we stopped to have a look. When Bella saw them racing she looked at my husband and I and she said ‘This is for me!’”

Since then, this rider hasn’t let her age stop her in her tracks. Her love for BMX racing is running deep in her veins after passionately pursuing the sport for almost four years now.

If you can catch sight of this little spitfire, you’ll find she’s as headstrong as ever and gone in a flash!

The Keep On Learning program is a ground-breaking partnership between Wallara and Monash University. Initially led by Dr Sarah Hopkins, the program began in Berwick in 2014 and paired young adults with a disability who wanted to improve their literacy and numeracy skills with pre-service teachers who needed experience in creating inclusive classrooms.

This year the program was launched at Monash’s Peninsula campus under Dr Ruth Jeanes’ leadership with health and fitness students.  It will run for 11 weeks, with 18 Wallara clients taking part in a variety of health-related activities scheduled by Monash students.

Two or three students are assigned to the role of ‘lead’ teacher and are responsible for planning, organising and reflecting on the session. Up to 60 Monash students overall are involved in the program, which ensures a wide variety of activities for the Wallara clients.

The activities vary from physical exercise in the gym or dance studio to classroom sessions relating to health and wellbeing. The team attended the first sessions and it was clear the students were creative in planning their sessions to ensure engagement throughout the course of the day.

“The program has been a wonderful opportunity for our student health and PE teachers to learn about how to work inclusively in real-life contexts,” Dr Jeanes said.  “It is also a great way for the university and Faculty of Education to connect with our local communities. The students are clearly challenged to think how they can adapt their practice to meet the diverse needs of the Wallara clients and it has been a great learning experience for them.”

A Monash student said the program was challenging at times, but added: “I've learnt so much about how to teach inclusively.”

This has also been an amazing opportunity for Wallara because its clients get to experience university life on campus and build relationships with a wonderful group of students.

The most rewarding moment is when the Wallara clients proclaim: “I am going to uni today.”

Famous French artist Henri Matisse once said, “Creativity takes courage.” Toorak College’s Season of Excellence evening showcases the outstanding talents and achievements of its VCE students across the Arts; celebrating both creativity and courage.

Toorak has an extensive Arts program comprising Studio Arts, Visual Communication Design, Art, Media, Product Design and Technology, Drama and Music Performance. The Performing Arts program embraces VCE Drama, with pathways underway for girls to study VCE Dance in the very near future.

“Studying Drama and gaining the knowledge and practical skills in performance has helped me in so many ways, especially in building confidence and in public speaking,” says Year 11 student, Hannah.  “At the Season of Excellence evening, I will be performing my Unit 4 VCE Drama solo as preparation for my final performance later in the year. After school I hope to study theatre at University and continue performing.”

For passionate music students, Music Performance allows girls who have been learning an instrument, including Voice, as part of the co-curricular program to use their talents in a VCE subject. Toorak Collegians, Jessica Wu (TC’14) an accomplished pianist, and Jessica Baker (TC’15) equally talented on the flute, are two examples of gifted musicians who were able to use their passion for music studying the subject they loved. Season of Excellence guests can enjoy musical performances from students of this year’s VCE Music Performance class.

The evening will also highlight the final pieces from the Visual Arts and Technology subjects, including Sculpture, Installation, Photography, Film, Garments, Designs, Drawings, Paintings, Conceptual, Traditional, Ceramic, Digital, Darkroom experiments and more. This year’s Art Prefect Sophie Fairbridge used her talent for Fashion Design in 2016 to make a strong statement about environmental responsibility with her Great Barrier Reef design. “Its purpose was to show people the beauty of the magnificent reef so they would want to help save it,” Sophie says. Her garment was selected to be part of the Top Designs exhibition at the Melbourne Museum.

Toorak College warmly invites you to attend its VCE Season of Excellence evening on Wednesday, September 20, from 4.30-7.30pm. Toorak looks forward to sharing the works and passion of the next generation of artists with you.

Toorak College Scholarships for 2019 are now open, and online applications are being received from girls who want to chase their dreams. Go to toorakcollege.vic.edu.au/join-toorak/scholarships

Located just a short stroll from the end of Daveys Bay Rd in Mount Eliza is Davey’s Bay Yacht Club. Standing proud for over a century, this iconic venue has hosted many events and entertained many great sailors both on and off the water.

Focusing on sailing, friendship, socialising and fun, the club hosts an active sailing program for juniors, youths and adults every Sunday from October to April, with juniors sailing in the mornings and the senior fleet in the afternoons. The club has a fleet of Pacers and 420s, which are used for training and racing.

Peninsula schools are well represented at training sessions during the week, and each year the club conducts many regattas for various classes. This season its Pacers will be used with Girlsail, school and teams racing as well as learn to sail classes for adults. Youths can enjoy the two-handed 420s, Lasers and Moths.

Davey’s Bay YC has a large International Optimist fleet that will enjoy coaching on the protected waters off the club, and its growing Flying Fifteen fleet, which is the largest on the east coast, will be enhancing its skills with the Ossie McCutcheon Trophy on the weekend of October 21-22 in preparation for the national championships later in the year at Mornington Yacht Club.

Meet Scott Norton.  By day, he’s a devoted dad who commutes from Mornington to Port Melbourne for work at a printing company.  But in the eerie pre-dawn hours, when most of us are still blissfully sleeping, Scott enters another world – The Otherworld – in his guise as teen fiction author S.B. Norton … and that’s where the magic happens.

From 5am until 6.15am every week day, Scott immerses himself in the world of the Operatives, whose mission it is to rid a parallel universe known as The Severed Plane of the warlocks and wizards that control three of its four quadrants and who prey on human kind.  These quadrants provide the settings for the three (and soon to be four) novels in his Otherworldly Operatives series: Flames from the North, Southern Vexations, and White Eyed Children of the East, which he’s launching at a Meet the Author event at Farrell’s Book Shop next month.

At weekends he’s able to devote a little more time to The Otherworldly Operatives, and that’s something he relishes.  “It’s quite exhausting.  But I needed a creative outlet, and it’s great for my own escapism as I have a very vivid imagination.”

Scott has been a self-published author since 2014. With no support team besides his family and friends, he has written, edited, designed, promoted, distributed and established his books’ presence on social media and in the minds of teenagers world-wide. With lots of adventure, these horror fantasy novels appeal to 10-14-year-olds (he often visits schools to meet his young fans) but have found devotees among much older readers too.

With one more book in the works to complete the series, he’s relishing the traction he’s establishing overseas.  His protagonists come from all over the world and represent a variety of ages, so his novels have wide appeal. Readers respond well to these strong characters as they travel through corridors from this world to The Otherworld and fight to save human kind from being kidnapped by The Severed Plane dwellers.

“The suburb that my main protagonist lives in was inspired by Mornington, Dromana, Cowes and Phillip Island,” says Scott.

The tales of warlocks and witches include some scary bits that keep the young readers interested and are quite dark at times, but there’s an underlying humorous tone throughout the collection.

You can meet Scott at Farrell’s on Saturday, September 16, at 3pm, where he’ll be more than happy to sign copies of his books.  Perhaps in blood, we’re not too sure …

Palliative care is an area of health care that is difficult for many people to talk about or even consider, let alone work in. That’s not the case for Dr Sandeep Bhagat (pictured), Peninsula Health’s new Head of Unit for Palliative Care.

“When I had my first exposure to palliative care, that’s where I found the meaning of being a doctor is more than just doing stitches or doing tests,” Dr Bhagat said.  “It’s actually sitting with people and having the honour to hear first-hand stories, hold their hand, relieve their pain, and make them feel loved again.  I think all these basic human values attracted me to this speciality.”

Dr Bhagat places a high value on the team members who care for people nearing the end of their days.  “We have over 100 years of experience so we’ve got very experienced senior nurses. It is a small team, close-knit, so we sit together, we hand over better, we support each other better, and I think we can come back in the tea room together and de-brief each other and that is the spirit and strong ethos of this unit.”

Leading the team, Dr Bhagat espouses a positive attitude to the role that he and his fellow nurses and doctors can play in the lives of patients and their families.

“Palliative care most people relate to dying, whereas I relate it to life, quality of life, whatever remaining life that is.  That is my way of separating it from the sad part of dying.  Most people would say death is very sad. I see before death there is a big phase which is their completion of exploring their spirituality, trying to bring a meaning to them and their family.

“The other way of looking at it as far as my own coping is the patient never dies; they are now living in the memories of their loved one.  If I can leave families with a better experience in their bereavement, and they have watched their loved one dying in peace and dignity, that is how we get the compliments and thanks, and that is what drives you to keep doing what you’re doing every day.”

Mathew Kerr is walking with passion in his step. He’s taking on the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk (1000 Steps) weekly in the Dandenong Ranges - twice in one visit, might we add - and hiking every weekend.

But this isn’t just for the health benefits.

This man is on a mission and wants other men to join him. Don’t worry, boys, you can leave your fitness gear hidden under the bed. He’s just after your voice.

“Violence against women impacts every Australian, so regardless of gender we all need to speak up and let those who continue to think that violence against women is acceptable that it is not and that we are not going to remain silent any longer,” Mathew says.

White Ribbon Australia is the world’s largest movement of men and boys working to end men’s violence against women and girls, promoting gender equality, healthy relationships and a new vision of masculinity. To spike interest and inspire discussion among blokes’ families and friends, Mathew’s set himself the goal of completing the White Ribbon ‘trek4respect’ in September.

A mission for sponsors is important, but he’s passionate about bringing the issue into the light and into everyone’s conversations.  “Violence against women isn’t a private problem, it’s a public problem.”

To spark the conversation, his fundraising efforts have included a sizzling sausage stall, but he can’t wait to hit the road and take on the mental and physical challenge. Mathew’s eager to meet other like-minded people on the trek and share their passion as they work together to not only complete the trek and reach remote communities, but spread the word.

His need to start the discussion stems from working for 12 years in the welfare community sector. Having worked directly with families in welfare, he’s seen first-hand how violence against women affects women and children. Mathew is the general manager of services at Statewide Autistic Services Inc. in Frankston, where he’s appreciative of his colleagues’ support.

Mathew’s passion is twofold: he believes prevention is key, specifically what can be done to influence societal norms; and he believes it’s men’s responsibility as a collective to help this cause.

“From research and statistics it’s predominately more common for the men to commit the offence. As a gender, we need to stand up and not accept it. The movement starts in our social circles; it needs to be addressed to bring about equality.”

To spread the word or support the cause, Mathew asks you to please visit:

KWD HQ is a new chapter in the life of Kate Walker and her professional design team.  With entrepreneurial skills in her DNA, Kate sees opportunities and seizes them with both hands, and the concept of KWD HQ evolved from a desire to showcase how much KWD itself has evolved and grown since it was founded in 2013.

“Many designers subscribe to and specialise in one style,” explains Kate.  “However, our desire, expertise and experience lend themselves to much more than just one design style.  We work with such a variety of clients from all walks of life and in so many different locations that our portfolio has embraced a wide selection of different aesthetics.  It was essential that our new headquarters reflect this, and the result is a more masculine feel that will appeal to our rather large male client base.”

Kate engaged Carlo Romanin, of Romanin Design (who is also a local), to direct the design for KWD HQ, and Mount Martha Village was the ideal location.  Everything in KWD HQ is based on black, white and grey tones (other than the timber flooring) to enable the products to shine.  The granite, marble, the black carpet and the European oak flooring are all from KWD’s supply partners.  It’s a collaborative space with an interactive peg display board at the central core of the product development area.  KWD HQ is a hub for innovation, and the ergonomic space has been designed for inspiration and efficiency.

The exciting new KWD HQ premises is providing inspiration to other local businesses too, with KWD being engaged to manage the refurbishment of Volpino and Wallimont & Nutt Real Estate – taking Mount Martha Village to new heights in terms of quality, style and design.
