Six sign up for Isaacs fight Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au SIX candidates have nominated to contest the seat of Isaacs at this year’s federal election. Voters will head to the polls on 18 May to have their say about who will represent the area go-
ing forward. The Isaacs electorate spans from Carrum to Moorabbin and encompases Dingley Village, Dandenong South, and Lyndhurst. A redistribution of the seat saw a small percentage of Labor voters from the last election moved into the Dunkley electorate. Shadow attorney-general Mark

The Greens last month announced Kim Samiotis as their candidate. The Animal Justice Party has named Bronwyn Currie as its candidate.
Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party has named Tony Seals as its candidate, while Rise Up Australia party has named Ash Puvimanasinghe The neighbouring Dunkley electorate had eight candidates nominate for the election. In the order they will appear on the ballot paper they are: Lachlan O’Connell - Derryn Hinch’s
Justice Party, Elizabeth Johnston - Animal Justice Party, Ron Jean - United Australia Party, Peta Murphy - Australian Labor Party, Emily Green - The Greens, Chris Crewther (incumbent) - Liberal Party, Christopher James Fraser Anning’s Conservative Nationals, Yvonne Gentle - Rise Up Australia Party.

Call to address station work ‘issues’ Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON councillors have voted unanimously to advocate for “changes and improvements to the level crossing removal project plans for Cheltenham and Mentone”. As part of the motion passed at the 23 April public council meeting, Kingston Council will seek “further discussion” about expanded decking areas at both stations. The successful motion stated that council would “authorise officers to negotiate for the additional decking at Cheltenham and Mentone up to a maximum financial contribution by council.” The amount of that financial contribution was kept confidential. The council officer’s report read that “LXRP wrote to council on 12 March 2019 advising the expanded decks were outside of project scope but indicating that subject to a funding contribution from council, the structures could be delivered.” “The delivery of expanded open spaces at the core of two major activity centres is seen as beneficial, offering growing populations more diverse open space, improved connectivity and a high level of amenity which will support economic growth and urban renewal of these centres,” the report read. “Existing allocated funds within the forward capital plan could be used to assist council to invest in the two extended deck areas with funding in the 19/20 and 20/21 financial years.” Council also agreed that there were a number of other “issues” with the project. The officer’s report stated that at Mentone, matters that needed to be addressed as a “matter of priority” are the “relocation of as many bus stops as is possible to the southern end of the station precinct maintaining efficient access between public transport modes, improvements to the design detail and materiality of the new station building and surrounding landscape response, provision of an off-road bike path between Cheltenham and Mentone that optimally

does not require re-entry into the road network, ensuring wherever possible the centre is not subjected to the loss of publicly available car parking within the core of the centre and along the rail corridor noting the desire to enhance the positioning of the buses in relation to the station location, and maximising the retention of existing vegetation along the rail corridor between the proposed new station building and Warrigal Road.” Cr Rosemary West said at the meeting that “residents may remember being consulted on council’s plans to put to the level crossing removal authority. Most people who made submissions or attended the meeting at council wanted more open space provided by decking over the railway trenches.” “LXRP has come back to us and told us if we want a town square over the line at Cheltenham and if we want to expand the Mentone station gardens with decking over the line, it will cost us an amount recommended by officers in a confidential part of the agenda. Officers are recommending we
pay this amount, and I agree,” she said. The mayor Georgina Oxley said “it’s probably no secret I haven’t been a huge fan of the dealings we’ve had with the LXRA. I think we’ve been promised a number of things and a number of those things haven’t eventuated for one reason or another, whether that’s at Carrum or Cheltenham or Mentone or where any of the designs have been released.” “While there’s been a number of good outcomes, there are a number of things that were discussed, that we did consult with residents on, that we had many discussions with the LXRA on, and I think we have been dudded in this sense,” she said. “I think asking our ratepayers to foot the bill of what is a confidential sum at the moment, I think is unfair. I think these projects are in the broader sense not our projects, but in a local sense we have an opportunity to shape them. To ask us and our ratepayers to cover the entire cost of this is unfair.”
Promise for kids health CENTRAL Bayside Community Health in Parkdale has been promised $7 million dollars from federal Labor if it wins the upcoming election. The promised funding would go towards children’s facilities in the centre. The children’s centre would include facilities for occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and physiotherapists. Central Bayside Community Health CEO Deb Stuart said “caring for and keeping the local community healthy is our priority. This investment will help with our commitment to expand child development services to meet community needs. Assisting more people and families to access affordable local child development services is welcome.” Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus said “this is a big win for local families, and I am delighted to announce this election commitment. This $7 million investment in Central Bayside Community Health is an investment in the future of our local community.” Promise: Shadow health minister Catherine King was on hand to promise funding to a Parkdale health centre.

A SERIES of alleged thefts at Seaford train station resulted in an arrest on 24 April. Police were called at around 2.45pm after witnesses observed a man “behaving suspiciously”. Frankston uniform police and transit officers attended and arrested a 42-year-old Seaford man. He has been charged with seven counts of theft from motor vehicle, four counts
of attempted theft from motor vehicle and one count of commit indictable offence while on bail. He appeared at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 25 April.
Frankston man well over limit SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol have busted a 41-year old Frankston man driving at twice the legal blood alcohol limit. Police pulled the man over for driving at 75 kph in a 60 kph zone a little after midnight on 25 April. A breath test was conducted and the man returned a reading of 0.107. The man’s grey Toyota SUV was impounded at a cost of $1280. His license was suspended and he is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving and exceed speed.
White said “April has been a tragic month for the area so far, with four people losing their lives on our roads. Five people have now died on our roads in 2019, the same as for the whole of 2018. We are trying to do everything we can to stop people killing themselves and others on our roads, but we need the whole community to get on board with us in this effort.” On the prowl: Police were out in force over the Easter weekend.

Tennis club funding not in the bank Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council’s attempts to finance the rehoming of the Frankston Tennis Club at a redeveloped Centenary Park look to be coming up short, with no commitments for funding being made at state or federal level. The 127-year-old tennis club currently play on land next to Frankston Hospital. Peninsula Health bought out their lease for $3 million in 2017 to plan for future expansion of the hospital. Council have been advocating for funding into Centenary Park to rehome the club, but their cries have so far fallen on deaf ears. Council have committed $11 million to the project and are asking for matching commitments of $8.05 million each from the state and federal governments. The mayor Michael O’Reilly said “it is extremely frustrating and disappointing that despite these continued joint efforts, the federal and Victorian governments appear to be turning their back on the urgent need to find a new home for the Frankston Tennis Club to make way for the much needed $562 million upgrade to Frankston Hospital.” “Council has worked tirelessly alongside tennis and gymnastics clubs in advocating to federal and Victorian politicians and candidates from both major sides of politics in order to secure the vital funds needed to deliver a dedicated regional tennis and gymnastics facility at Centenary Park as a priority,” he said.
Game, set, match?: Frankston Council have pleaded for other levels of government to chip in for a new home for the Frankston Tennis Club, which is facing an uncertain future after they move from their current home by the hospital. Picture: Gary Sissons
“Council has on many occasions successfully partnered with federal and Victorian governments to deliver vital infrastructure projects that benefit our community. For this reason we are confident that a regional tennis and gymnastics facility can be achieved through a joint funding partnership. “I call on Chris Crewther and Peta Murphy to support their community by
urgently committing the $8.05 million contribution required by them ahead of the federal election. Additionally, I urge the Victorian government to fund an equal contribution of $8.05 million, a mere 1.5 per cent of the $562 million hospital expansion project.” Cr O’Reilly said the expensive Centenary Park redevelopment is required to help facilitate the rise in women
playing sports. The revamped centre would also home gymnastics facilities. “Frankston City sporting community deserves a regional facility with the ability to host elite tournaments and to further boost female participation in sport,” he said. If no party fronts up cash for the project, Cr O’Reilly said council would

“investigate alternative options”. “Although council will investigate alternative options should federal and Victorian governments fail to deliver the $8.05 million required for the proposed Centenary Park facility, we believe the Frankston City community and broader region deserve better than a back-up plan. That is why we’ve committed $11 million of our own funding towards delivering this vital regional infrastructure project,” he said. “Should funding requirements be met, works will commence immediately in a sequenced rollout to house Frankston Tennis Club merged with Frankston East Tennis Club at Centenary Park as a priority before the joint tennis and gymnastics facility is constructed housing Bayside Gymnastics Club.” Frankston Tennis Club relocation subcommittee chairman John McGillivray said late last year that if the club was forced to move to Centenary Park without redevelopment taking place, it would be “basically the death of the Frankston Tennis Club.” (“Tennis clubs fears death without funds”, The Times, 5/11/18) State Liberal candidate Michael Lamb campaigned on the issue and promised cash for the project in the lead up to the state election. Ultimately he and his party lost by a wide margin. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke told a candidate’s forum in November 2018 to “watch this space” in regards to securing funding, but has not followed that up with an announcement.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Operation Tofu Burger and Other Ill-Conceived Ideas By Stuart McCullough WHO knew? Until recently, ‘militant vegan’ was such a blatant contradiction in terms that the very notion seemed utterly inconceivable. What’s next? Pescatarian ninjas? Extremist piano tuners? Guerilla florists? There’s no telling where this madness take us. I’d wrongly assumed that all vegans were peace-loving, mung bean-chewing, hemp pants wearing peaceniks who, quite literally, wouldn’t hurt a fly and, in fact, if a fly was being hurt would most probably film the event and post it online in a bid to start some kind of campaign. Certainly not as the farm-raiding, farmer-harassing, intersection occupying human roadblocks of recent events. I know, I know. A handful of people hell bent on making a nuisance of themselves should, in no way, be considered representative of those who choose to embrace the vegan lifestyle. If you’re a vegan, then good for you. If you come over for dinner, I’m more than happy to cater to your needs. That’s because, whether for health, economic or ethical reasons, I completely respect the choice you’ve made. Ideally, those feelings would be mutual. I understand that sometimes people feel passionately and want to make a point. But it does it have to be so angry? Rage is swiftly becoming the default setting for public discourse. The more outraged you are, it seems, the more correct you must be. Suddenly, there’s no place for persuasion. To reason is considered unreasonable. Instead, it’s assertion over evidence. Shouting over dialogue. It’s crash or crash through. So while I appreciate

that some things are worth getting worked up over, I personally have trouble accepting that ‘real milk versus almond milk’ should be one of those things. Perhaps it boils down to this: calling yourself an ‘activist’
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 1 May 2019
does not grant you the social license to behave like a dead-set dill. Being a militant vegan must be tough, though. To be surrounded by so much that offends you on a daily basis can only be maddening. Leather, meat
and cheese; it’s hard to go through life without running into them at some point. Even everyday expressions such as ‘there’s no point crying over spilt milk’ must be something of an affront if you think milking a cow constitutes institutional oppression. But does that really justify such a confrontational approach? It made me wonder - what kind of training is involved to become a militant vegan? Presumably the boots at boot camp are not made of leather. Cardboard shoes wouldn’t be acceptable either, given that it’d require the felling of trees at some point and synthetic materials are basically poison. Rather, I assume that everybody is barefoot. I strongly suspect there’s no physical training. I, for one, was not surprised that being a militant vegan involved standing in one spot and refusing to move as opposed to something more aerobically demanding. Charging across a field or parachuting out of an airplane is not the militant vegan way. It’s hard to know what they might have been thinking in terms of tactics. In blocking a major intersection at peak hour, what did they hope to achieve by making people late for work? It’s unlikely that anyone got to their office half an hour after their usual start time, suffering some serious stink eye from their colleagues and, as a result, decided to stop using animal products. It’s more likely that those affected by the action responded to the added stress of being late for work by comfort eating the kind of things that would make a militant vegan’s head explode with rage. Or maybe that’s just me.
Then again, what would I know? I don’t think I’ve ever protested for anything. I’ve complained plenty. But that’s not really the same thing. In fact, I come from a long line of complainers. My family is full of them. When we complain, we do so in the biggest, grandest way possible even though it doesn’t involve sitting in an intersection or chaining ourselves to equipment. Instead, it involves letters. And not just letters to some midlevel bureaucrat who’ll file them away in some dim dark distant corner never to be seen again. In our family, we like to take our concerns straight to the top. When my father was unhappy with his Nissan E-20 minibus, he didn’t just write to the head of the Nissan Corporation, he wrote to the Emperor of Japan. Then complained that he didn’t get the courtesy of a response. If something goes wrong with his paper delivery, he’s more likely to take it up directly with Rupert than with the local newsagent. I can’t be sure, but I’m almost confident that when world leaders get together, they compare notes on the letters they’ve received from my father. I guess all I’m saying is that I’m not sure it’s good to be a militant anything. Whether vegan, Vulcan or veterinarian, something less strident is called for. Less angry. I only hope it doesn’t spark some kind of retaliatory action; one in which groups of carnivores set up at the tricky intersection behind Frankston station and start roasting a lamb on a spit. Granted it sounds delicious, but that’s not the point. We can, I think, do better than this. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Sharks and Pythons keep up good starts DIVISION ONE
By Brodie Cowburn PINES have kept their unbeaten 2019 record intact with a big win over Bonbeach away from home. Playing against a very capable Bonbeach outfit, Pines faced some difficulties and were only three points up heading into the final term. Although the game threatened to go down to the wire, Pines put together an impressive final term to claim a comfortable win. Brendan Barfoot booted three goals for the Pythons, as his side secured victory 8.10 (58) to 13.7 (85). Trent Dennis-Lane worked hard for Bonbeach and booted three goals of his own, At David Macfarlane Reserve, Sorrento were also fighting to keep their 2019 record unblemished as they faced off against Dromana. The contest was tight in the first half, with Sorrento inaccuracy in front of goal costing them a big lead. Despite having six more scoring shots, Sorrento only went into half time six points ahead. Although the Sharks never steadied in front of goal, they still managed to keep on the pressure and claim a win 9.20 (74) to 6.8 (44). The Hallahan brothers were at their best for Sorrento, who are now 4-0 to start the season. Rosebud enjoyed a good day out on the road against EdithvaleAspendale, helping themselves to a 45 point win.
Rosebud ran away with the win after a six goals to one final term. Keegan Downie played a big part for the winning outfit, scoring five majors. The final siren sounded with Rosebud well ahead. They notched up their first victory of the season 10.6 (66) to 16.15 (111). The loss leaves Edithvale-Aspendale struggling at 1-3. At Greg Beck Oval, Frankston Bombers hosted their cross town rivals Frankston YCW in what would prove to be a one sided affair. The Bombers could only manage one goal and eight behinds in the first half, and never recovered. The Stonecats got the job done over their local rivals, securing the win 5.11 (41) to 14.14 (98). Josh Butland booted four majors for the Stonecats. Mt Eliza gave their home town crowd plenty to smile about against Mornington, hammering the Bulldogs with a good team performance. The Redlegs were impressive, and kept Mornington to just three goals for the whole afternoon. The final score read 13.14 (92) to 3.6 (24).

Hillmen continue dominating form DIVISION TWO
By Brodie Cowburn THERE is plenty to smile about at Red Hill at the moment, as the Hillmen secured their second consecutive victory by over 100 points on Saturday. After pumping Crib Point last week, Red Hill looked as if they woudl face a bigger challenge this week against Hastings. The Blues had locked in star forward Brendan Fevola to make an appearance on the road to bolster their chances of a win. Despite their forward firepower, Hastings were completely overwhelmed from the get go. Red Hill went into quarter time with a 44 point lead, holding the Blues goalless. Red Hill kept up their relentless attack throughout the afternoon. When the final siren finally sounded to put Hastings out of their misery, the scoreboard read 18.17 (125) to 2.5 (17). The closest match of the round took place at Glover Reserve, as Devon Meadows took on Rye. The Demons got off to a red hot start and held a 17 point lead at the first break of play. Devon Meadows worked hard to stay in touch after that, but Rye kept them at an arm’s length. Rye held on to get the win 10.9 (69) to 12.17 (89). Things were not so close at Belvedere Reserve, as a second half blitz saw Seaford smash Pearcedale. Heading into the second half Pearce-

dale were only eight points down, but the Tigers quickly put the result out of their reach. A 13 goal to two second half handed Seaford the win 20.15 (135) to 7.11 (53). Aaron Walton booted five majors. Karingal performed well on the road as they took on Somerville on Saturday, with boom recruit Marc Holt again proving to be worth every penny. The Bulls charged home to a 42 point win thanks to six goals from the rampaging Holt, who now has 29 goals from his five games. Chelsea played host to Crib Point on Saturday, with the Magpies looking to improve after getting thrashed by Red Hill last week. The Magpies were able to hit the scoreboard this week, but were still outclassed by the Seagulls. Crib Point performed better in the second half of the game. Todd Gardiner kicked four goals in a best on ground performance, as Chelsea defeated Crib Point 13.14 (92) to 5.8 (38). At Bunguyan Reserve, Langwarrin were able to run over the top of Tyabb. The Yabbies were keeping touch in a tight fought contest, but the Kangaroos hopped away in the final term. The final score read Tyabb 7.13 (55) to Langwarrin 14.17 (101).

Maizels joins Southern United SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie MELISSA Maizels made her debut for local NPLW outfit Southern United on Saturday. The top-flight goalkeeper is the biggest signing in the club’s short history having played for Melbourne Victory and Perth Glory before recently completing her second stint with Canberra United in the 2018/19 W-League. She turns 26 next month and offers both expertise and experience to one of the youngest playing groups in the elite competition. At Canberra she played alongside Scotland captain Rachel Corsie and Matilda Ellie Carpenter. Maizels was signed from local rival Bayside United late last week and given the exodus of players from Southern to Bayside in recent years this move is significant. “I saw an opportunity to go to a club and be a part of something special,” Maizels said. “Everyone knows that Southern needs a revamp, they need a spark, they need something to change not just to turn their season around but to make themselves a genuine competitor in the league in years to come.” Maizels has a B coaching licence, is the technical director of Mount Martha junior club and co-owner of Absolute Soccer academy. “When I decided to join Southern it was a decision not just for the rest of the season but a commitment for years to come. “This is important to me not only as a player but as a coach and I want to play a part in rebuilding the club from the SAP program up so that Southern is a club that juniors want to come to. “I’m prepared to assist and collaborate in any way I can to make sure we give this club every possible chance to become the NPLW club the peninsula so desperately needs.” Southern lost 6-0 to third-placed Heidelberg on Saturday a far cry from the 12-0 hiding it received when the sides last met in March and Maizels enjoyed her debut. “It was pretty cool to be out there with the girls. “Obviously knowing what they’ve been going through I really admired their resilience and the fact that they stuck around and I feel like I made an impact.” Earlier in the day Southern’s under12s continued their improvement under coach Olivia Groves with their first point of the season thanks to a 1-1 draw with Heidelberg United. Amelia Hart scored for Southern.

Eddie Cerda’s under-14s kept climbing the league ladder with a 3-0 win with goals from Erica-Derrick Sarfo-Sarpong, Rhiannon Kelleher and Eden McKeown. The under-16s under Deb Nichols and Emma Bracken won 5-2 with four goals from prolific scorer Rhys McKenna and a thumping drive from the right of the area by Ezel Duhar. It’s the first time this year that the under-16s have recorded successive victories and this group is still eyeing a finals berth to match its outstanding record of the previous two seasons. The under-19s lost 2-0 but coach Liam Drury was pleased with some aspects of his side’s performance. “We showed a lot of fight and mental strength which was a huge improvement on some recent efforts,” Drury said. “It’s the best game we’ve had defensively but we have to keep improving and this has to show on the pitch and in the scoreline.” In NPL2 Langwarrin lost 2-1 away to Moreland Zebras on Friday night. Langy was 2-0 down after 33 minutes. Thomas Barforosh punished Langy for giving the ball away scoring from close range in the 28th minute and teammate Nicholas Niagorian was left unmarked five minutes later and headed home from the edge of the six-yard box. Liam Cannell’s reckless challenge on David Stirton earned the Zebras midfielder a second yellow in time added in the first half and three minutes into the second half substitute Damir Stoilovic made it 2-1 with a shot from the left of the area that Zebras keeper Jack West-Astuti got a hand to but couldn’t stop.

Jakob Williams broke into a oneon-one with Langy keeper Fraser Maclaren in the 62nd minute but shot wide and Niagorian got a second yellow in the 66th minute to reduce the home side to nine men. John Kuol and Roddy Covarrubias had chances to level but couldn’t capitalise and Stirton was shown a second yellow in the 85th minute. Langy had just one shot on target in the first half and improved that statistic to six shots on target by game’s end. But it wasn’t enough. In State 1 news Mornington recorded a 2-0 away win over Caulfield United Cobras last Saturday. Kane Bentley headed in from a Sammy Orritt cross in the 31st minute and it took until the 92nd minute to ensure that the three points headed back to Dallas Brooks Park when substitute Amir Osmancevic broke into a one-on-one with Caulfield keeper Nathan Silver and slotted the ball home. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers won 3-1 at home against Doncaster Rovers on Saturday. John Prescott (2) and Grant Lane scored for Strikers who had midfielder Danny Brooks and a Doncaster opponent sent off late in the second half. In State 3 news Mikey Turner scored the winner in Skye United’s 2-1 home win over Middle Park on Saturday. Skye gaffer Phil McGuinness described the win as “ugly” and he was being kind. Daniel Walsh was caught in possession in the 10th minute and the ball was played quickly to Middle Park striker Ollie Davis who was given all the time in the world to pick his spot
then craft a superbly struck curling shot out of the reach of Skye keeper Jonathan Crook and inside the far post to make it 1-0. Skye equalised in the 23rd minute when the linesman failed to flag for offside as Jason Nowakowski broke on the right. His low cross into the box was met by Middle Park central defender Jamie Caldwell who slid down and guided the ball into the back of his own net. The winner came in the 78th minute and was well constructed. Substitute Aaryn Rix and Nowakowksi played a one-two on the right and Rix’s low cross was met by the incoming Turner who could hardly miss from point-blank range. Frankston Pines came away from Dendy Park with a 1-1 draw against host Brighton last weekend. Pines opened the scoring in the 32nd minute when Jason Bradbury volleyed home from 10 metres after CJ Hodgson’s cross from the left. Hodgson, Travis Ernsdoerfer and Nick Simmons all came close to putting Pines in the box seat but Brighton keeper Damien McDade was in sparkling form and a fine finish from John Gibney in the 70th minute levelled the scores. Pines went into this clash without Lewis Potter, Serge Yanez, Stefan Soler and Connor McAndrew but they all are available for selection for Friday night’s assignment against promotion-chasing South Yarra. It will be Soler’s last game before flying to London to start work as a paramedic. In State 4 news a last-gasp winner from Mitch Lander gave Seaford

United a 1-0 away win over Noble FC Hurricanes while Baxter recorded its first win of the league season when it won 3-1 away to Endeavour United last weekend. Seaford had enough chances to win comfortably but it took a goalmouth scramble in the 90th minute for Lander to make his mark. Hurricanes keeper Filip Koninkowski was booked in the incident and when he continued to argue was shown the red card. At Reema Reserve Endeavour United midfielder Matty Morgan headed his side into the lead in the 10th minute but three minutes later Tim Lee linked up with Lewis Gibson whose cross was slotted home by Baxter striker Nathan Yole to make it 1-1. On the half-hour Baxter won a corner and Matt McDermott headed the ball back across goal where Yole headed home to make it 2-1. Charlie Jones sealed Endeavour’s fate in the 62nd minute with a stunning first time strike after the ball broke to him following a corner. In State 5 news Somerville maintained its pursuit of league leader Old Mentonians when it defeated Tullamarine 5-1 at Tyabb Central Reserve last weekend. Eagles ace Dave Greening notched a hat-trick with Mark Pagliarulo and Ben Meiklem also getting on the scoresheet. Meiklem turned in a man-of-thematch display adding to his goal with three assists. Rosebud lost 4-2 away to Endeavour Hills Fire with both Rosebud goals coming from Chris Parry while Aspendale Stingrays lost 3-0 away to White Star Dandenong.
