EMMA Gierschick was recongised as Kingston’s Woman of the Year at a ceremony on International Women’s Day.

Disability advocate recognised for work Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au EDITHVALE resident Emma Gierschick has been recognised as Kingston’s Woman of the Year for her work advocating for children with disabilities.

Ms Giershick’s work pushing for reform is a deeply personal one, as she was spurred into action by her daughter who was born with down’s

“I’ve had meetings with ministers, I’ve made several submissions, I’ve worked with the royal commission, I’ve started talking at conferences, and now I’ve developed the missing piece which is the Special Needs Assessment Template. That identifies additional challenges and vulnerabilities of a child, which covers communication, safety, personal care, and grooming.

The implementation of that means ap-

propriate support can be put in place.”

Ms Gierschick’s work was interrupted by a bout with cancer, but that did not stop her from continuing her campaign.

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer among all of this, so I had to fit the treatment in. I’m now in remission, but I lost use of my legs due to temporary paralysis. Now I’ve got use of my legs back, I’m in remission, and I can focus on broadcasting the message.”

Ms Gierschick said she was “incred-

ibly honoured and very humbled” to be recognised for her work at Kingston Council’s International Women’s Day breakfast.

“I’ll be able to use it as a stepping stone to help increase the exposure of the work I’ve been doing, which is giving children with a disability more visibility.”

Kingston Council will be launching their family violence action plan on 27 March.

“I’m a family violence and disability advocate from a family violence background. My daughter was born with down’s syndrome and when we left the violence I stumbled across one national oversight, which was a lack of support for kids with disability. There is a lack of acknowledgement on all government reports and data collection. There is a massive oversight

Library construction booked in MAJOR works are underway to refurbish the Dingley Village Library and Harold Box Hall.

The library will be shut during 2019 while works are completed on the $5 million upgrades.

“Our community will enjoy fantastic new community facilities. These include an upgraded library, new outdoor space, improved community meeting rooms, new kiosk and kitchen, new maternal and child health rooms plus a

new reception area,” the mayor Georgina Oxley said.

“Library members will be able to order and reserve books online free of charge and they will be delivered for pick-up from the Dingley Village Neighbourhood House next door. The Neighbourhood House will also have computers available for use and will run weekly Story Time Sessions.”

Over $4 million for the upgrades will be ratepayer funded, and $750,000 will

come from a state government grants program.

Works are expected to be completed by the end of the year.

“The popular Tiny Tots Storytime Session will continue to run at 2.30pm on Mondays at the Neighbourhood Centre. You can also visit other nearby Kingston library branches with Westall and Parkdale both just a short drive away,” Cr Oxley said.

Forum to attract women to politics REBEL Liberal-turned-independent MP Julia Banks and Victorian Liberal Party deputy leader Cindy McLeish headline a forum at Langwarrin this month designed to encourage more women to enter politics.

The inaugural Louisa Dunkley Women in Politics Forum – organised by the Committee for Greater Frankston – is a 12-2pm lunch on Thursday 28 March at McClelland Gallery’s new Sarah and Baillieu Myer Education Pavilion.

The committee’s chief executive Ginevra Hosking said public debate about the under-representation of women in politics had inspired the event.

“Our two guest speakers will talk about their experiences in politics before we ask for questions from the audience.”

She said there would be opportunities before and after the forum for attendees to network with the region’s women politicians, business and community leaders.

Committee chair Fred Harrison said the committee would be sponsoring 10 female students from secondary schools in Dunkley to attend the forum. “We hope they will gain more of an insight into politics and become leaders of the future,” he said.

The catalyst for recent public discussion about under-representation of women in politics was Julie Bishop receiving just 11 votes during the Liberal Party leadership spill last August, one vote for every year she had been deputy leader. Ms Bishop announced last month she would retire from politics this year. Industrial Relations Minister Kelly O’Dwyer announced

HEADLINE speakers at this month’s inaugural Louisa Dunkley Women in Politics Forum are independent federal MP Julia Banks and Victorian Liberal Party deputy leader Cindy McLeish.

her retirement a month earlier.

Last November, Ms Banks told the Parliament she would leave the Liberal Party and become an independent MP, saying there was an “entrenched anti-woman” bias. She said there was “bullying and intimidation” of women in politics. In January, Ms Banks announced she would challenge Liberal MP for Flinders Greg Hunt, a former colleague.

In contrast, in Victoria last December Cindy McLeish was elected Victorian Liberal Party deputy, and Georgie Crozier was elected the Libs’ deputy leader in the upper house. And the re-elected state Labor government has 11 women and 11 men in its cabinet.

Ms Hosking said that for Australia to have more women politicians “we need to start grass-roots conversations, introduce more women to this career path and, importantly, continue to build informal networks that will empower the women who do represent us to be more effective”.

She said it was an easy decision to name the forum after Louisa Dunkley.

“Pioneering Australian women like Louisa Dunkley led the world in calling for equal pay for equal work. She was a highly competent Morse code telegraphist, the only way to communicate rapidly over long distances before telephones and two-way radios.

The job was considered one of the first high-technology professions of the modern era, but women were paid much less than men. The politically volatile Frankston-based federal seat of Dunkley is named after her.”

Forum invitees include the Liberal MP for Dunkley, Chris Crewther, and his Labor opponent, Peta Murphy; state MPs from the region Sonya Kilkenny, Paul Edbrooke and Neil Burgess; and women councillors from Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Bookings: c4gf.com.au/events/

Isaacs Liberal candidate confirmed THE Liberal Party have confirmed their candidate for Isaacs in the upcoming federal election.

Jeremy Hearn was preselected last week to stand as the candidate. He was named as a nominee in the Higgins preselection process as well, but ultimately was not chosen to replace outgoing Liberal MP Kelly O’Dwyer.

The Age last month reported that the fee for applying for preselection had been cut to $250 in a number of Victorian seats, including Isaacs.

The seat is currently held by Shadow Attorney General Mark Dreyfus, who has been the local member since 2007.

Mr Dreyfus currently holds the seat with a 52.3 per cent majority. The state election results in Mordialloc and Carrum saw large swings towards Labor.

Aged care amendments put to bed KINGSTON Councillors have voted to refuse to amend a permit to construct an aged care facility in Collins Street Mentone.

The applicant, Mercy Health, confirmed to The News that they would be applying to amend their existing permit to include “an increase in the number of beds from 120 to 136, the addition of half-floor fourth storey, which will be set back from the building’s facade to accommodate the additional residents, and the addition of six car parks on site, acquired by Mercy Health, to reduce on-street parking.

On 25 February council voted to refuse a permit, because “the proposal constitutes an over-development of the site” and “the proposal would detract from the visual amenity of the locality and the streetscape”.

Cr Ron Brownlees moved that a permit be granted pending a number of conditions, but he was the only councillor who voted in favour of that motion.

Cr Geoff Gledhill said he was “bitterly disappointed” at the attempt to amend the permit.

“We have to be mindful there is people living in and around these facilities and we have to be mindful of not impacting adversely on their life,” he said.

The alternate recommendation to refuse a permit was then moved and passed.

Collins Street resident Adrianna Pavlekovic spoke at the meeting objecting to the proposal. She told The News she is one of over 30 objectors who had opposed the development (“Mentone residents oppose development”, The News, 20/2/19).

Bay’s gummy shark stocks in decline Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au Fishing charter boat operator Charlie Micallef, who knows a thing or two about catching gummy sharks, believes their numbers are dropping in Port Phillip.

The Victorian Fisheries Authority oversees regulations that set bag limits at two sharks (minimum 48 centimetres long) a person for recreational anglers and total commercial operations at 1700 tonnes a year.

The authority rates the gummy shark population of Port Phillip as “sustainable”, but warns “sea level rise and changes in sea temperature associated with climate change are of potential concern to gummy shark biological stocks, since the habitats they use as nursery and feeding grounds are potentially prone to the effects of climate change”.

Mr Micallef, who is regularly fishing on the bay, sees things differently.

He says just two gummy sharks were taken in 22 trips made by his Rye-based Savage Seas Adventures company in late 2018 and earlier this year.

The problem, he believes, is the catching and killing of pregnant gummy sharks.

Port Phillip is seen as a nursery for gummy sharks and Mr Micallef says he has endured 10 years of being given the run around by politicians and being told, “there’s plenty of [gummy sharks], so it doesn’t matter.

“If fisheries don’t do something

soon there will be a problem,” he said.

“I hate to think what will happen if we continue to do what we’re doing.”

Mr Micallef can be compared to the gamekeeper who ensures that animals or birds are living and breeding in a hospitable environment so that they are then available to hunters.

He wants an “immediate stop” to the taking of pregnant gummy sharks.

“At this stage, anyone can kill a pregnant large female gummy shark.

The sharks swim for two years pregnant and then come into Port Phillip to have their pups, and there can be up to 50 pups a litter,” Mr Micallef says.

“There are no rules on putting back large sharks that are pregnant, this needs to change.”

In calling for an end to the killing of pregnant gummies, Mr Micallef cites the efforts of the Project Banjo community group which led to regulations protecting stingrays, skates and guitar fish (“Bay rays win protection” The News 7/11/17).

However, the same sort of protection afforded the rays is not being contemplated by the VFA. “Gummy shark stocks are in terrific shape and have been assessed as highly sustainable,” VFA communica-

FRANKSTON HIGH SCHOOL

tions manager Marc Ainsworth told The News.

He said offshore commercial fisheries provided “fresh flake to local markets, restaurants and fish and chip shops for everyone to enjoy”.

Bag and size limits enforced by fisheries officers ensured sustainable fishing.

“Most anglers don’t catch breeding sharks. Our surveys show these are very rare events,” Mr Ainsworth said.

Michael Burgess, executive officer of VRFish, “the voice of recreational fishing in Victoria”, said pregnant sharks were easy to identify and “we’re

asking people to release them”.

He said there were no “signals” showing any dangers in reduced levels of gummy shark numbers, but would like to see more evidence “to decide what we can meaningfully do to ensure their survival”.

Mr Burgess said “we’re seeing evidence that people are generally doing the right thing”.

Mr Micallef said it was “morally wrong” that records were not kept of the number of pregnant gummies being caught.

Making sure that anglers were forced to release pregnant female gummies would ensure the survival of the species in Port Phillip.

Having large numbers of gummies to catch in the bay would “bring a lot of income to the southern peninsula, just like the barramundi in Darwin and the southern bluefin tuna in Portland”.

Businesses would profit and “towns will boom” with increased winter fishing as “the gummies are here all the time”.

“It just makes sense to put pregnant animals back.”

Mr Micallef said it was easy to identify a pregnant gummy shark and there were ways to catch and release without the fish being injured.

“They don’t have any teeth, so they’re easy to set free. You can have a picture taken and then return them to the water.

“You can see it happen, they give a kick and they’re off. It’s beautiful to watch.”

Police patrol

with Brodie Cowburn

‘Obese’ man on run POLICE are on the lookout for three people in relation to an alleged armed robbery at a milk bar on Hampden Avenue, 4 March, 6.30pm.

Police believe three offenders arrived at the Frankston milk bar in a stolen vehicle, with two offenders entering the premises armed with hammers.

They allege the two men, with their faces covered, entered the store and jumped over the counter making threats towards the female shop attendant. It is alleged that the men kicked the attendant and stole cigarettes and cash from the till.

They fled the scene in the grey 2012 Volkswagen Golf they arrived in.

A detailed description of the offenders could not be provided, but police said one of the men they are searching for was “obese”.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers.

Alleged fake tradie charges FRANKSTON Crime Investigation Unit detectives have arrested a man over scams allegedly being run in Carrum and Seaford.

The man allegedly was offerring trade services under a fake name.

He was remnaded to appear in the Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 12 March.

Weapon attack POLICE have arrested a man after he allegedly attacked another man with a “large edged weapon”.

Frankston Police said that a fight had broken out at a Clyde Street apartment building between parties they said were ‘known to each other” in the early hours of 3 March.

It is alleged that a 28 year-old Moorabbin male used a weapon to attack a 25-year-old Moorabbin male.

Police said the 25-year-old received a “substantial gash” to his arm,” and that he “discharged himself” from Frankston Hospital.

The 28-year-old Moorabbin man was arrested and is expected to face the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court at an unconfirmed date. He did not post bail.

Silence on Baxter line business case Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON MP Paul Edbrooke has remained tight lipped on the progress of a business case investigating the extension of the Frankston line to Baxter.

Mr Edbrooke did not answer questions from The Times asking for an update of when the case would be completed.

The $3 million business case, paid for with federal funding, was started in April of last year. The media release

stated it was expected to be completed by “early 2019”.

The state Labor government is the missing piece in the project, with both major parties at federal level committed to the project.

Dunkley MP Chris Crethwer said “as the railway line is state Labor government owned and managed, they are undertaking the business plan using $3 million of federal Liberal government funding I secured, and need to authorise the project to proceed. Unfortunately, Labor at the state government level have continued to play politics

over the issue, instead of putting our community first, by both delaying the commencement of the business plan to begin with and now delaying the completion of the business plan.

“My aim is still for the project to commence in late 2019, and Labor need to finish the business plan, contribute funding towards the project and allow it to commence as soon as possible. Labor’s delays continue to push back the potential start date for the project build,” he said.

“This project is so important for our kids, our grandkids, our parents,

our seniors and our community in the connectivity and opportunity it will provide, and I hope we can work in a bipartisan fashion to get this project underway.”

Prime Minister Scott Morrison reaffirmed the government’s $228 million commitment in a visit to Leawarra Station in September of last year.

Dunkley Labor candidate Peta Murphy said “A federal Labor government will move quickly to deliver the extension of the metro line to Baxter.”

“70 per cent of the Liberal’s promised funding won’t flow for at least

another four years, putting the project off into the never never. I will work to make sure that the extension of the line to Baxter becomes a reality.”

The rail extension would see the rail duplicated and electrified to Baxter, with two new stations at Langwarrin and Frankston East constructed.

The Victorian state Liberals had pledged to provide $225 million to the project if they won last year’s state election, which they went on to lose in a landslide.

THE proposal by German-based Kaufland for a super store at Mornington remains up in the air despite the company being given the go ahead for stores at Dandenong, Chirnside Park and Epping.

The state government was last week boasting about attracting “one of the world’s largest retailers to Victoria in a move that will create more than 1500 jobs and inject almost half a billion dollars into the state’s economy”.

Mornington Peninsula Shire and a growing number of residents are objecting to Kaufland being allowed to build on the Bata shoe factory in Nepean Highway.

Economic development minister Tim Pallas joined Kaufland Australia managing director Julia Kern on Friday (8 March) for the announcement at the site of the company’s Mickleham distribution centre.

Kaufland, which has more than 1230 stores and 150,000 employees across Europe, is said to be investing $459 million and creating 1600 jobs in establishing its stores and headquarters in Victoria.

Government spokesperson Crys Ja said a decision on the Mornington store – one of three that are the subject of an independent advisory committee planning process – “could still be months away”.

The mayor Cr David Gill says a Kaufland store in Mornington would have “major implications” for the town.

“The proposed location is on the border of the green wedge [zone] and will destroy the prominent entry gateway to Mornington,” he said. (“Public urged to oppose Kaufland bid” The News 22/1/19).

“The establishment of such a major retail site on industrial land outside the Mornington activity centre could have a major impact on the retail economy within the Mornington village and result in vacant shops along Main Street.

“Proper planning takes decades and one bad decision can ruin our strategy for shopping precincts overnight.”

Oakbank Road resident Janet Street – who lives near the proposed site – said the development included a 430 vehicle car park and 4000 square metre retail outlet “which will directly compete with established retailers in the shopping precinct”.

“A 20-metre sign will be the first thing people will see when driving into Mornington, the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula,” she said.

Mr Pallas said planning approval for the first three stores was “a huge notch on Victoria’s belt”.

The Great Outdoor and 4X4 Expo is heading to the peninsula this weekend from March 14 to 17. The four day event, the first to be held at Mornington Racecourse, will showcase everything from the latest Caravans, Motorhomes, Campervans, Camper trailers and Hybrid campers, 4WD's and 4 x 4 accessories to metal detectors, Boats, Pontoon/Party Boats as well as fishing gear, demonstrations and activities for the whole family. Many exhibitors will be offering show specials, so make sure you drop in and grab yourself a bargain. There are some fantastic door prizes to be won by just attending the expo.

BILLABONG Caravans make a range of vans that are designed to be a perfect fit for their customers.

Which is why, when they have a really good design, they make sure that this design goes across their level, or series, of caravans.

Billabong Caravans has a large range of models (29 all up) ranging from ensuite models ranging from 16 ft to 22 ft, family vans from 16 ft up to 23 ft with 4 bunks. Also there is the Shearwater models which come with a combo shower toilet set up in 16 and 17’6. Then there are the centre ensuite models which are large 22 and 24ft models. Each model is available in a different Series being Matilda , Redgum, Coolabah, Drover and Redback.

The Matilda is the entry level range. It’s designed to make it possible for people who are budget conscious to buy an excellent caravan which will give them all the comfort and quality you expect from any caravan, and basically stay on the tarmac, with just a little dirt road here and there.

The Redgum is the touring range. This is when you need a bit more oomph in the chassis and body so it will go a bit further off the beaten track, without being a full off-roader. It still has the Billabong standards built in, but is just a bit more robust that the Matilda Series.

The Family Vans are available in the Matilda Series in 16’, 18’ and 19’. But in the Redgum Series it’s available in 16’, 18’, 19’, 20’, 21.6’ and 24’.

All Billabong Caravans come with either a 4 or 6” Supagal chassis with leaf spring suspension as standard. Off road suspension is available in all models in the range and that’s where the Drover Series kicks in as the offroad version. There are 2 x 95 lit water tanks with galvanised protection, which is essential for anything under the caravan. To protect the body of the caravan, which is built with white high ribbed aluminium cladding, there is plenty of checker plate to the front and sides. All of that rides on 15” or 16” alloy wheels with 10” or 12” electric brakes to all the wheels.

Internally, the Billabong Caravans a beautiful caravan. The way the caravans have been designed ensures that there is plenty of room for the family to live in it. Good design means that, even with bunks, the en-suite is fully functional and usable, without being cramped. There is nothing worse than having to slide sideways into a shower, and this model makes sure you don’t have to do that.

With a family to feed, you need a good kitchen. The stainless steel kitchen sink sits alongside the grill and cook top, which has 1 electric and 3 gas burners. The fridge is a 3 way 184lit model, big enough to handle the food you need. To make sure everyone has enough room to sit, the L shaped seating is big, has a strong, hard wearing fabric cover and a good sized table.

There is a north south queen sized bed at one end of the caravan with the option of bunk beds at the other.

All have very good mattresses. Just to provide a bit of privacy there can be a concertina door between the queen bed and the body of the caravan. Plus the TV swings into the body so it can be watched by everyone.

Billabong put cupboards and drawers wherever they can to make sure you have as much storage as possible. One more important feature in their models is the washing machine. It takes a lot of clever engineering and designing to fit everything that a family needs into a van, and add in a big caravan washing machine. Let’s face it, kids, dirt and holidays seem to go together very easily!

There is one more feature about Billabong that takes everything they offer to the next level, and that is their ability to customise their models to suit their customer’s needs and wants. Obviously, Billabong will make sure that all customisation retains the integral strength and safety of their caravans, but work as hard as they can to deliver what they are asked to deliver.

Because the caravans are hand-made at their factory in Campbellfield the individual requests can be done.

It might be something as little as putting cupboards instead of drawers, or the other way round. Hand building the furniture makes that a very easy request.

And just when you think you have thought of everything it is time to look at the list of optional extras. You can add in ESC, jerry can holders, a tool box, there is a huge choice of external extras.

Internally the list is big too. Perhaps you want café bar seating, or leather seat covers, a third bunk, or an acrylic splash back.

The Billabong Caravans have a large range of sizes and options been designed to incorporate personal choices to make sure that the quality of manufacture and finish delivers what the customer wants.

Billabong Caravans are proud of their reputation and work to ensure every caravan they produce adds to their reputation. www.billabongcaravans.com

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mrs Fielder opens a school of graceful dancing for children Compiled by Brodie Cowburn BY advertisement in another column Mrs J. H. Fielder announces that she is opening a school of graceful dancing for children, and will be pleased to interview parents of prospective pupils at “Erinville”, Playne Street, Frankston.

Mrs Fielder, with her five years’ experience under J. C. Williamson’s former pupil, Miss Brennan, comes to the district with the highest credentials, and her advent will no doubt be welcomed by parents anxious for improvement in the general department of their children.

Classes will commence on Tuesday, 25th March. *** ON Sunday next in the Frankston Methodist Church Harvest Festival Services will be conducted at 11a.m and 7p.m by the Rev E. Tonkin.

On Monday following at 8p.m the gifts of fruit etc. will be sold.

The Harvest Festival services at Langwarrin Methodist church passed off successfully on Sunday last there being good congregations at both services.

The fruit and produce were sold by ‘Bruce’ auction on the following evening and realised between £9 and £10. *** WE are requested to announce that the committee meeting of the Frankston branch of the Victorian Protestant Federation will be held next Thursday evening to make arrangements for holding a public meeting which has been delayed owing to influenza restrictions. ***

THE postponed “Welcome Home” social and presentation to our Returned Soldiers will be held in the Recreation Hall, Langwarrin, on the 22nd. inst.

The promoters are confident that the public will roll up and give a hearty welcome to “the boys”.

A first class programme has been arranged and supper will be provided. *** MOVING Pictures – On Wednesday evening next in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, a high class entertainment will be given in aid of the Memorial Hall to be erected in Frankston.

The pictures are spoken of as being an exceptionally fine series and the Returned Soldiers are working to secure a crowded house for the occasion. *** MORNINGTON Branch of Returned Soldiers Association – It is announced in our advertising columns that a special meeting will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall, Mornington, on 18th March, to form a branch of the R.S. and S.I.L.A. Delegates will be present from headquarters and all returned soldiers of Mornington and district are urgently requested to forward their names to Mr J. Connop, the association’s representative at Mornington. *** THE Committee of the patriotic gymkhana recently held or Frankston met on Friday evening last to receive the balance sheet, Cr. Oates presiding.

The treasurer’s statement showed

that a net profit of £380 2s 6d had been made, and this amount will be handed over to the local Repatriation Committee.

Mr T. Ritchie in expressing appreciation of the the achievement, made the happy suggestion that a letter of thanks be presented to the hon. secretary, (Mr T. J. McMurtrie), Major Conder and Sergeant Watts for the very special assistance rendered by them in attaining success.

The idea was heartily approved and Mr Jennings was deputed to attend to the matter.

The full financial statement appears in another column. *** NOMINATIONS for the seat in the Centre Riding of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings rendered vacant by the resignation of Cr Jos. Unthank, close on Thursday, 20th.

March at 4 o’clock, p.m. with the Returning Officer, Cr Chas Murray at Somerille.

It is not likely that there will he a plethora of candidates for the position particularly in view of the fact that a considerable section of the ratepayers are anxious to secure the nomination of Mr Charles Thornell, of Somerville.

Mr Thornell has by no means definitely decided to accede to the wishes of his friends, and we hear it is now proposed to present him with a numerously signed requisition as an earnest of the ratepayers general desire to secure his nomination.

Mr Thornell is a member of a well known and highly respected Somerville family and his selection for the office of Councillor is likely to meet

with general acceptance. *** THE last patient in the temporary influenia hospital which had been established at the State School, Frankston, was on Saturday March 8th transferred to the Brighton influenza hospital.

The Frankston hospital had been fully equipped to receive a large number of patients both male and female in order to meet all requirements but three only were admitted.

Cr Mason who as secretary of the shire committee deserves praise for the excellent manner in which he carried out the necessary organisation, presented the committee’s report at last Coun cil meeting and same appears in another column.

The report very rightly expresses appreciation of the services rendered

by Dr Sidney Plowman as medical officer of the hospital, Miss Gallus a trained nurse, who took charge of the nursing and Mrs A. W. Taylor who assisted in the nursing.

The school building has now been thoroughly disinfected and will be ready to receive all pupils next Monday. *** CRICKET. Tyabb V. French Island.

A very enjoyable cricket match took place at the Tyabb Recreation Ground last Saturday afternoon between the local team and one from French Island.

The visitors and their friends journeyed by boat across to Stony Point, thence by train to Tyabb.

On arrival the visitors were entertained at lunch by the local ladies, and at the conclusion of the match at

afternoon tea.

Mr P. Davon, on behalf of the French Island team, thanked the residents for their hospitality, to which Mr. G. G. Cole suitably responded.

The visitors then caught the train to Stony Point for home.

The cricket match resulted in a narrow victory for Tyabb by 2 runs. *** NOTICE. Anyone found taking Hay or Wood out of any of my Paddocks, or found trespassing, with or without dogs or guns will be Prosecuted.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Break Dancing Olympic Oblivion

By Stuart McCullough I THINK I speak for everyone – it’s about time.

For decades we’ve been waiting for the powers that be to come collectively to their senses.

Now, after years of campaigning and more letters than I care to remember, it seems that those with the power to address this most blatant of injustices are ready to act. It almost makes the struggle worthwhile. That a metaphorical clip over the ears and allegorical kick in the pants can result in real change is deeply reassuring.

Now they just have to make it official – by declaring break dancing as an Olympic sport for Paris, 2024.

Break dancing may well be my generation’s most enduring contribution to popular culture, right up there with ‘Seinfeld’ re-runs, the mullet haircut and Hammer pants. Indeed, if someone were to build a museum dedicated to preserving historical artifacts of note from Generation X, I’ve no doubt that break dancing would not only feature in the exhibition, but would most likely be given its own wing. It’s only right that it should feature at the Olympics. If nothing else, it gives those of us who are no longer in our athletic prime a fair crack at a podium finish.

Assuming the inevitable happens, I’ve got my work cut out for me. I’ll have just five years to perfect my backspins, pop and locks to say nothing of my head spins and jackhammers. I’ll admit, I’m a little rusty. For better of for worse, I seldom have cause for popping and locking unless is happens by accident because I tried to get up too quickly. Plus, I’ve got to take into account everyone else out there who is savouring the chance to become a later-in-life Olympian.

The standard of competition could well be uncomfortably high.

America would have to fancy its chances.

Not only do they have Turbo and Ozone (as portrayed by the improbably named Shabba Doo and Boogaloo Shrimp) who were the heroes of the greatest break dancing film of all time,

Breakdance 2: Electric Boogaloo – there’s also the not insubstantial matter of the Rock Steady Crew. (That said, I’d love to see a medal presentation ceremony where the gold medal was bestowed on ‘Boogaloo Shrimp’).

The Rock Steady Crew came out of New York City and, in 1983, released the single ‘(Hey You) The Rock Steady Crew’. Frankly, not enough groups have songs about themselves.

The Beatles never released a song called ‘The Beatles’, and Bruce Springsteen is unlikely to put out a song called ‘Bruce Springsteen’. That said, the Monkees were happy to sing ‘Hey, Hey We’re the Monkees’ which, I suppose, makes

them the Rock Steady Crew of their era.

I’m just saying I’ve got my work cut out for me if I want to compete in Paris. No less an authority that the New York Times referred to the Rock Steady Crew as the ‘foremost break dancing group in the world today’, although I’m not entirely sure in what decade that remark was made. To date, the New York Times has remained entirely shtum about my break dancing efforts so far. A pox on them, I say. I will simply have to brace myself for the fact I may be up against the likes of Crazy Legs, Mr. Wiggles and other members of the Crew.

For all my enthusiasm at the idea that break

dancing may be cuckolded into the warm embrace of the Olympic movement, it does raise the obvious question: since when has break dancing been considered a sport? And if it is a sport, does that open the floodgates to usher in a load of other activities that, frankly, are a lot more useful than a javelin ever will be? I, for one, would like to see reverse parking at the next Olympics, although I do appreciate the irony that competitors may be forced to reverse park outside the stadium only to do it all over again once they get on the field. Sadly, my reverse parking skills have severely deteriorated with age, to the point that I’m happy if any part of the vehicle at all ends up within the lines.

Dishwasher stacking. Now there’s a task that deserves Olympic glory. And you can’t tell me that you wouldn’t extra points for having the different types of cutlery sorted into categories.

What about toasted cheese sandwich making?

Or sock pairing? Personally, I’d love to see mowing the front lawn become a competitive sport rather than a chore.

If break dancing does get the go ahead, I’m not sure how I’ll go in the Olympic Village. I doubt the younger athletes will take kindly to a middle-aged competitor telling them to shut up because it’s after nine at night. Mind you, it could easily be the first Olympics with proper car-pooling and where ‘Crocs’ are the official footwear.

I shouldn’t get too far ahead of myself. Still, it’s okay to dream of a world where being able to perform the electric boogaloo is properly acknowledged on the world stage. I can see it now – Kurtis Blow would perform his hip hop classic ‘The Breaks’ as teams flattened out cardboard boxes in preparation. Dressed in Hammer pants and wearing sneakers and a headband, I would prepare to lay waste to the competition.

My chance to represent my country will have arrived at last. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Tootgarook get a last ball win over Tyabb

By Brodie Cowburn

PENINSULA

CRIB Point have fallen agonisingly short of Pines in the final match of the home and away season for 2019/19 MPCA Cricket.

Batting first Pines were impressive in the one day match, putting 191 runs on the board off their 40 overs.

Harley Peace-Stirling was pick of the batsmen, scoring 71 runs to help put his side in pole position for a win.

In response Crib Point did not take the loss lying down, keeping touch with Pines and taking the match to the final over.

With just two balls left to bowl and 4 runs left to chase down, Crib Point lost their final wicket and succumbed to defeat.

Things were much easier for Main Ridge, as they dominated Somerville at Ditterich Reserve.

A near 200 run stand between Main Ridge batsmen Daniel Polson and Shaun Foster was the highlight of the day, with their former scoring 96 not out and the latter scoring 109 not out.

Somerville were good in reply but not nearly good enough. They were bowled out for 175 with 10 overs left to play.

Baden Powell also had a relatively easy day, easily chasing down Moorooduc’s total of 118 with six wickets in hand.

At Ballam Park East, Red Hill defeated long Island in a low scoring affair.

The final ladder for the year finished with Baden Powell, Red Hill, Main Ridge, and Moorooduc as the top four sides.

DISTRICTS

A WELL taken half century from Luke Hewitt has been enough to help Hastings over the line against Rosebud at Thomas Barclay Oval.

Hastings won the toss and chose to bat first, doing well to finish their innings at 6/178.

In reply Rosebud made a good start, and at 3/118 were in a good position to go on to claim victory. A massive collapse would see Rosebud bowled out out for 145.

At Roy Dore Reserve, Carrum were bested by the Seaford Tigers.

Batting first Carrum set the Tigers a target of 149 to chase down to win.

Seaford Tigers lost their first wicket for just 1 run in a less than ideal start,

Easy win: Baden Powell easily chased down Moorooduc’s total of 118.

but quickly steadied their ship.

The ended up surpassing their target with six wickets in hand and 10 overs to spare.

Heatherhill also enjoyed a positive day against Seaford, easily defending their impressive target.

Heatherhill, playing away from home, came in to bat first and ended up making 8/229. Kristian Miller top scored with an impressive innings of 74.

Seaford were toothless in response and were bowled out for 96 off 20 overs.

Delacombe Park claimed an 89 run win over Mt Martha, helped in part by an innings of 86 not out by opener Jonathan Guthrie.

The final four on the ladder for the season were Delacombe Park, Heatherhill, Rosebud, and Carrum.

SUB DISTRICTS

TOOTGAROOK have claimed the narrowest of wins over Tyabb in a match that went down to the very last delivery.

Tootgarook elected to bat first in front of their home crowd, and recovered well from a middle order collapse to finish all out for 164.

Scott Sterling’s innings of 52 batting at number 8 would go on to prove vital for his side.

Tyabb came in to bat and all their batsmen made good starts. At 5/149 a win looked like an inevitability.

A stunning collapse saw tyabb fall to 9/163, needing two runs to win with one wicket in hand and one ball left to face. James Holland-Burch could not convert the winning runs, being caught out on the last ball of the day. Tyabb lost by 1 run.

Things were much less competitive at Peninsula Reserve as Rye succumbed to Frankston YCW. The Stonecats were impressive with ball in hand, with Sam Fulton posting his best ever figures for the club with 5/11. Rye were bowled out for 102.

The Stonecats passed their targets with 7 wickets and 7 overs left to spare.

At Boneo Rec Reserve, Balnarring were able to secure victory over Boneo.

Balnarring batted first and an opening stand of 95 set them up nicely.

They finished at 6/195 off 40 overs.

Boneo made 151 before being bowled out.

Carrum Downs had a bye.

PROVINCIAL

LANGWARRIN have held on to secure a stunning two run win over Mornington.

Playing out of Alexandra Park, the away side Langwarrin elected to bat first and finished up at 8/172.

In reply Mornington got off to a good start, but could not score quick enough to secure a win. With just 2 runs left to chase down, Mornington ran out of time. Off 40 overs they made 7/170.

A massive innings of 88 runs from Brad Trotter was enough to help Pearcedale to a comfortable win over Flinders. Pearcedale’s innings ended with them at 8/217.

Flinders only lost a few wickets but scored too slowly to get close to a result. After 40 overs they finished at 3/171.

Thomas Clements was the best of Flinders’ batsmen, scoring 74 not out.

Sorrento have had a good day at Harry MacDonald Oval, putting Peninsula OB to the sword.

The Sharks were decent with bat in hand and finished up with 9/154, but it was with the ball where they really shined.

Old Boys made no impact with the bat with just one batsman reaching double digit figures.

Jake Wood took a five wicket haul for Sorrento as they bowled out OB for 68.

Mt Eliza had a rough afternoon at home, being bowled out for 66 by Baxter.

Baxter reached that target off 20 overs.

Sorrento finished on top of the ladder, followed closely by Langwarrin, Baxter, and Peninsula OB.

Swift Sis sizzles down Flemington straight THE Pat Carey-trained mare, Swift Sis, broke through for her first victory in Victoria on Saturday 2 March.

After making the move from Western Australia, the now eight-time winner stepped out for her second start in Victoria and stormed past her rivals to record a narrow victory down the Flemington straight (1100m).

Donning the iconic Makybe Farm silks, worn by three-time Melbourne Cup champion Makybe Diva, Swift Sis lifted in the final 100m to nab the Jason Warren-trained mare Miss Toorak Flyer who had run past her at the 600m mark.

Despite going around at the odds of $31, Mornington-based trainer Pat Carey said he had a bit of confidence

heading into the race.

“I thought that her price on the day was what we call ‘overs’ in consideration to what we thought her chance would be from a stable point of view,” Carey said.

“We were quite confident she’d run a good race, not necessarily thinking that she’d be able to win, but it’s not a surprise.”

Following the impressive victory, Carey said he’d be aiming the mare towards the Listed Hareeba Stakes (1200m) on Mornington Cup day on Saturday 23 March.

Fellow Mornington-based trainer Jason Warren said he was just as impressed by his consistent mare Miss Toorak Flyer.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 13 March 2019

“I thought she was just super,” Warren said.

“She was a bit stiff to not get away with a win after she sprinted so well and just probably started to knock up on the line after a big run on the Friday before. She was on the backup and it just took its toll on her the last little bit.

“Her sectionals were super, and she ran terrific.”

Warren said that Miss Toorak Flyer could also potentially head to a 1000m benchmark 78 race on Mornington Cup Day. Warren said he might also be represented by his talented sprinter Bel Sonic in the Hareeba Stakes.

Swift finish: Swift Sis relaxes after her barnstorming victory at Flemington on Saturday 2 March.

Bulleen swamped by Langwarrin SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie THE blue wave of Langwarrin engulfed much fancied opponent Bulleen at Lawton Park on Saturday and gave home fans a taste of things to come.

Langy gaffer Scott Miller hasn’t hidden his ambition for the club he played for as a junior and his pre-season mantra of an up-tempo, slick, interpassing style of soccer rang true last weekend.

Bulleen succumbed to the blue tsunami 4-1 in Langwarrin’s most impressive performance yet of the 2019 NPL2 East season.

Spectators had been given an insight into Jordan Templin’s capabilities with two stunning goals against Northcote a fortnight back and he continued in similar style here.

But early on the visitors asked serious questions of the Langy defence which had problems dealing with the pace and guile of Josh Knight backed up by Ben Everson and Scottish import Daniel Maclennan.

Just 10 minutes in and Knight skipped clear of two defenders on the left of the area but Langy keeper Fraser Maclaren reacted well to get down and get a hand to Knight’s low shot pushing the ball onto the far post before being scrambled clear.

Three minutes later Bulleen keeper Wyatt Chant effected the save of the contest and left onlookers marvelling at his athleticism and lightning-quick reactions when a Templin piledriver seemed certain to nestle in the far corner until Chant’s hand made contact deflecting the ball over the bar.

Bulleen’s Josh McMonagle-Ihasz blew a gilt-edged chance to open the scoring in the 24th minute when he mistimed what should have been a tap-in.

Despite his formidable presence Chant was left grasping at thin air in the 32nd minute after Wayne Wallace chested down a deep free-kick from Luke Burgess then spun around and slammed a well-struck curling effort against the bar.

It was an entertaining and open match with Langy increasingly looking dangerous surging forward.

Johnny Kuol hadn’t figured prominently playing wide right but he switched to the left and when Wallace sent him surging down that side of the pitch in the 35th minute he was confronted by Bulleen defender Eli Luttmer.

Kuol doesn’t need an invite to take on a man and he twisted one way then the next committing Luttmer to a challenge before chipping an inch-perfect cross which David Stirton headed firmly into the top corner to give the home side the lead.

Winners are grinners: It’s 2-0 to Langwarrin and Jordan Templin celebrates his goal along with teammates Damir Stoilovic, Johnny Kuol (left) and Callum Goulding (right).

Burgess clattered into Knight in the 38th minute and the Bulleen star got to his feet slowly.

A few minutes later Jaiden Madafferi body-checked Knight and was cautioned and in the 44th minute Langy struck again.

Templin, Stirton, Kuol and Damir Stoilovic are renowned for their attacking capabilities but their ability to pressure opponents and effect turnovers was another feature of Saturday’s contest.

When Bulleen failed to clear a minute from the interval and eventually lost possession inside its defensive half it was to pay dearly.

Kuol laid the ball off to Templin and the former Bulleen player let fly with a thumping drive from just outside the area and Chant was beaten for a second time.

Seven minutes into the second half a rampant Langy went 3-0 up and there was no way back for Bulleen.

Stirton had tracked back and won possession inside his defensive half and immediately Langwarrin broke forward quickly giving the ball back to Stirton who eventually laid it off to Kuol on the left.

His delicately flighted chip sailed over Chant and struck the bar giving the hard working Roddy Covarrubias a tap-in from the rebound.

Bulleen started using its bench and even though its cause was lost it kept trying to find a way through an increasingly stubborn and composed Langy defence.

In the 64th minute Everson let fly from the edge of the area forcing Maclaren to tip over and two minutes later substitute Slaven Vranesevic turned sharply inside the area but struck a low shot against the near post.

minute had Bulleen defenders backpedalling in vain as Stirton, Kuol and Templin linked with Kuol eventually laying the ball off to Stoilovic on the left of the area and his low shot across the diving Chant nestled neatly inside the far post to make it 4-0.

Bulleen’s sole reply came in the 88th minute when Knight’s cross from the left wasn’t cleared allowing Luttmer to control at the far post then strike a closerange shot past Maclaren to round off the scoreline.

In the final analysis Bulleen had no answer to the blue wave that broke quickly and effectively and sent a message to the rest of the competition that this side can’t be taken lightly.

In NPLW news Southern United lost 10-0 to Geelong Galaxy United at Monterey Reserve on Saturday.

Southern continues to revamp its depleted senior squad with news that 20-year-old former Skye United midfielder Alana Gregory has been signed.

Gregory gained much-needed match fitness by playing in the under-19 side that beat Geelong 3-1 last weekend with goals from Sita Karimi (2) and Isabella De Gilio.

This week Southern expects to officially name Liam Drury as head coach of the under-19s.

Southern’s under-14s joined Drury’s charges in winning their first game of the 2019 campaign when they defeated Geelong 4-0 on Saturday thanks to an Eden McKeown penalty and goals from Erica-Derrick Sarfo-Sarpong, Sarah Shanks and Leah Plavlijanic.

Southern’s under-16s went down 3-1 to Geelong with Alex Jones scoring for Southern.

The under-12s lost 16-0.

The big news off the pitch for Southern is that the club has hired highly re-

garded goalkeeping coach Lou Kastner.

“I’m delighted to bring Lou to the club. He has a wealth of experience and will be a really big asset,” Southern technical director Harry Chalkitis said.

In FFA Cup news Skye United is through to round 4 of the prestigious national competition after accounting for State 3 rival Bayside Argonauts 3-1 at Centenary Park on Saturday.

Skye boss Phil McGuinness and assistant Stephen Duffy had a depleted squad due to injuries and player unavailability so beating an opponent from the same league struck a significant psychological blow with the season due to start in a fortnight.

Skye started off on the front foot and was rewarded in the 10th minute when Daniel Attard’s attempted flick was cut out by the hand of a Bayside central defender and referee Ivan Galjar pointed to the spot.

Daniel Walsh continued where he left off the previous weekend and buried his conversion attempt to make it 1-0.

But 10 minutes later Bayside earned a penalty after Saj Sugrim brought his man down just inside the box.

James Hammond made no mistake from the spot to make it 1-1.

The second half was a scrappy affair but Skye took its chance in the 65th minute after Attard flicked on from a Jonathon Crook long bomb sending Mikey Turner clear and the wee Scot finished well to put the hosts ahead.

Skye earned some breathing space two minutes later after Jack Gallagher was brought down and Walsh converted from the spot for the fourth time in successive weeks.

Bayside was unable to claw its way back into the contest.

In other cup news local sides Mornington and Peninsula Strikers both lost 1-0 last weekend.

An outstanding goalkeeping display by new Mornington No 1 Taylor Davidson on Friday night couldn’t keep his team in the national competition.

The youngster was eventually beaten in the second half of extra time by a Chris Davies strike that sent home side Sydenham Park through to the next round.

Sydenham took a quick free-kick and played the ball over the top and although Mornington claimed that Davies was offside he was allowed to continue and round Davidson before striking the ball into the unguarded goal for the winner.

Strikers succumbed to a Sean Sacco goal in the 16th minute on Saturday and ended this cup tie with 10 men.

The goal came in controversial circumstances after referee Cheng Hoo ruled against Strikers for a back pass, a decision hotly disputed by the local side.

Sacco’s free kick cannoned into the defensive wall and wrong-footed Strikers keeper Colin McCormack.

Strikers should have levelled in the 36th minute after winning a penalty but John Prescott’s attempt from the spot allowed Keilor Park keeper Frano Saric to effect a comfortable save.

Strikers were the better side in the second half and twice had the ball in the back of the net only to be ruled offside.

Sam Luxford had replaced midfielder Danny Brooks in the 76th minute and in the 97th minute Brooks was cautioned for a second time after an exchange with the linesman was drawn to the referee’s attention.

Meanwhile Frankston Pines came back from 2-0 down to defeat Rowville Eagles 4-3 in a friendly at Tatterson Park on Saturday.

Former Bentleigh Greens youngster Joe O’Connor scored on his debut for Pines and is expected to make the move from Casey Comets this week.

Other Pines scorers were Voldy Bukishie, Travis Ernsdoerfer and Christian Malgioglio.

Twenty-year-old Dandenong Thunder defender Kevin Brown also played for Pines and is another likely signing this week.

Baxter went down 3-0 to Westside Strikers in a friendly at Baxter Park on Saturday.

The home side had a number of players injured or unavailable but featured three triallists among them impressive former Peninsula Strikers junior Ben Hughes.

The Kilner brothers are back in action with Liam playing in the first half on Saturday and although Owen was unavailable he has been at training and is expected to play again this season.

Aspendale Stingrays seniors had last weekend off but the reserves lost 5-3 to Berwick City’s under-20s at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex.

Aspendale’s scorers were Ben Garside, Corey Kovacs and James McNab and best players were Dylan Flavelle, McNab and Noah Berends.
