Winter swim danger lurks Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LIFESAVER patrols along Kingston beaches have ended with the summer months so beachgoers should always let others know when they are going for a swim. That’s the message from Life Saving Victoria who said drowning deaths in winter across the state now account for nearly one third of all such fatalities
throughout the year. LSV operations manager Greg Scott says beachgoers should never head unaccompanied into the sea. “Read safety signs whenever recreating near the water and ensure you understand the local hazards and dangers,” he said. “Never swim alone. Always make sure someone else is looking out for you around the water.” There were 49 rescues by lifesavers at Kingston beaches this summer
according to LSV figures. Lifesavers administered first aid on 182 occasions including 16 “major” incidences. Boaters are also been warned to take care over the winter months on Port Phillip Bay’s waters. Maritime Safety Victoria recreational boating safety manager Lisa Taylor said boaters often drown when they fall in the water unexpectedly. “The best way to avoid entering the water is to ensure your boat is suitable
Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights PH: 9773 4453 www.chelseaheightshotel.com.au
for the conditions and in good working order. Check the weather, wind and sea conditions before you head out on the water,’’ Ms Taylor said. “Dressing warmly and wearing a lifejacket that is correctly fitted and in good condition can help you buy time should you unexpectedly fall in the water. Make sure you raise the alarm as soon as you can.’’ Sergeant Mark Braun from the Water Police said it is important people plan
their trip before they head out. “Just because the sunny weather has gone, doesn’t mean the risk has,’’ Sergeant Braun said. “If anything, the dynamic winter weather should be an additional prompt for people to plan their trip before they head out. “Let people know where you’re going, how long you’re planning to be out and make sure your safety equipment is up to date.’’

Giving strong sports performance a run IRONMAN teacher Matt Clark is bringing it all back home with his dedication to personal sports performance a plus for Patterson River Secondary College students. Matt, 32, competed at the Strongman Japan competition this month coming third overall among 1700 competitors. The competition - a 3km swim, 157km bike ride and 42.2km run in the tropical Island of Miyakojima - was
held on Sunday 17 April. Matt has founded an after school hours running group for students from any sports or backgrounds to work on building endurance and speed by learning correct running form. We have footballers, dancers, soccer players and students who just want to improve their fitness for their sports or others who just want to start being active,” Matt said. “I have made many like-minded
friends from my training and racing in triathlon and it is great to see students from different sporting backgrounds and year levels talking and laughing with other students they might not usually hang out with during the running group.” He says students find it hard to believe anyone would want to get up in the morning to ride a bike for six hours at 5am on the weekend or run 40km to prepare for ironman competitions.
“I try to teach kids that it is not just about the sport it’s also the commitment and discipline that you learn from it. “Success doesn’t happen overnight and hopefully I can do my part in helping these students develop these lifelong skills of health, fitness, looking after their bodies, discipline, reliance and commitment. These are skills that will transfer into everyday life as well as their sport.”

PAINTED windows may have prevented the earlier discovery of a fire which caused “moderate” damage to Richmond and Bennison lawyers, Main St, Mordialloc, Friday 15 April. A street sweeper and a passing coffee van operator said they could smell smoke about 4am but couldn’t determine where it was coming from. It was not until 7am that the fire’s location was established and fire crews alerted. About 10 CFA and MFB fire trucks arrived soon after. Police said the offenders had set fire to a number of areas on the ground floor. An arson chemist attended the scene later that day, describing the fire as “suspicious”.

Clean up ‘disgusting’ beach butts KINGSTON Council and Mordialloc Beach Patrol have joined forces to hold the first annual Cigarette Butt Clean Up Day on Sunday April 23 and are calling on community volunteers to join in. Mordialloc Beach Patrol’s area manager Tony Buckle said the group had launched monthly clean-ups late last year and had been disgusted by the high number of dumped cigarette butts along the Mordialloc beach and recreational areas. “Mordialloc Beach Patrol has collected over 10,000 dumped cigarette butts in just five, one hour sessions with only a handful of volunteers,” Mr Buckle said. “We’re calling on the community to join us for our first annual Ciga-
rette Butt Clean Up Day. We want a massive community turnout so we can tackle this problem head-on,” Mr Buckle said. Cigarette butts are not only unsightly but take around 15 years to breakdown, leech harmful toxins into our environment and enter our marine food chain. Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley commended the work of Kingston’s Beach Patrol groups and urged the community to add their support. “I’ll be there on the day to help and I hope we can get a great turnout to help clean-up our beautiful beaches and parkland areas,” Cr Bearsley said. “Council is working closely with
our Beach Patrol groups and local businesses to find ways to reduce littering along our beaches. So please do the right thing and put your rubbish and cigarette butts in the bin.” Mr Buckle said new volunteers were also always welcome at the Kingston Beach Patrol regular monthly clean-up sessions at Aspendale, Parkdale, Chelsea, Mentone and Mordialloc. The Cigarette Butt Clean Up Day is on Sunday 23 April, 9-10am. Meet at the Rotunda, Peter Scullin Reserve, Mordialloc. Bring garden gloves, zip lock bags and community spirit. See beachpatrol.com.au for details.

Bashed in caravan raid A CARRUM man living in a caravan suffered “major head injuries and brain swelling” when a group of men burst in and stole a safe, 9.15pm, Sunday. Chelsea police said four or five men entered the back yard of the house in Church Rd and forced their way into the van where the man, 20, was living. They threatened him with a large kitchen knife and hit him on the head several times with a baseball bat. He also received deep lacerations to his left foot. Occupants of the house watched the attack in horror. The offenders ran off with the safe – whose contents are unknown – and were tracked for a short time by the Dog Squad before disappearing. The victim was taken to The Alfred hospital for treatment. Police later charged a Carrum man, 45, with theft of the safe, but not the burglary. Yesterday it was in police hands – still unopened.
Police van sideswiped
Musical youth: Youngsters enjoy bongos fun at Parkdale Preschool.
A divisional van was sideswiped in Patterson Lakes, 11.50pm, Sunday. Police had followed the former taxi with partial taxi markings and false plates from McLeod Rd into Tennyson St where they activated their lights and prepared to intercept. However, the taxi did a U-turn in the dead-end street and drove into the side of the van, causing damage to both wheel guard panels. The driver, described as Caucasian,
young, with blond hair, was seen driving “erratically” earlier that day. Following contentious no-pursuit rules the taxi was not chased.
Arrests on gangrelated charges A 21-YEAR-old Keysborough man was arrested in Dandenong, Friday, as part of an ongoing police Taskforce Tense and Special Operations Group investigation into a series of aggravated burglaries and car thefts in Melbourne’s south east. The man is facing multiple offences, including armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated burglary, firearms and drug offences. He was remanded to appear in court at a later date. A 31-year-old Noble Park man was also arrested, Thursday, and remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court at a later date, charged with multiple offences, including armed robbery, aggravated burglary, kidnap, false imprisonment, theft and blackmail. Police said numerous items were seized, including firearms, ammunition, drugs and alleged stolen goods. “Detectives arrested the men as part of their ongoing commitment toward dealing with violent gang-related offending across southern metro region suburbs in recent months,” Victoria Police media officer Belinda Batty said.

Making tracks: Studies of great white sharks has led researchers to believe journeys of white sharks are not as random as may first appear. Top, dissecting a shark that was caught in a fishing net. Pictures and graphic: Supplied
A KEEN surfer, Kent Stannard has a fascination with sharks. He never misses a news report on the latest shark attack and is always trying to discover the circumstances surrounding the incident. When a series of attacks near Ballina in northern NSW caused widespread concern last year he was on the spot. Stannard predicts a similar situation this year with one surfer at Newcastle already being badly mauled. Stannard is the head of Tag for Life, a non-for-profit organisation investigating shark behaviour, particularly that of great whites. Alongside Tag for Life is Whitetag, a clothing supply company that donates profits to the ongoing shark study. Stannard, of Blairgowries, runs a Facebook site “dedicated purely to the sharks” and the electronic tracks being monitored by Tag For Life. The site has regular updates and at times provides running commentary on movements of a particular shark or shark events and attacks. The Tag For Life organisation works with the CSIRO and NSW Fisheries in placing electronic tags on sharks that transmit information about the predator. Once collated data enables scientists to effectively map the sharks’ movements and correlate this information with water temperatures, movements of fish and animals hunted by sharks and if their journey
is random or repeated. Stannard says five of 14 sharks tagged in the wake of attacks at Byron Bay and Ballina travelled south to Bass Strait, with one passing ocean beaches off the Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island. Another shark circumnavigated Tasmania before moving to waters off Kangaroo Island in South Australia. The one that came past the peninsula was then tracked to south west of Flinders Island. Stannard discounted reports of a
shark being spotted off Rye as “a hoax. I spoke to the brother of the person who posted on the shark alerts pages. He did it to keep people out of the surf.” Anecdotal evidence is also added to the store of knowledge collected from tagged sharks. “A pilot and commercial fisher once told me that when flying he saw more white sharks close to shore when water temperatures were around 16 degrees, which is near to where we are in central Bass Strait at the minute

Feeling flat after arrest
Car rams police van THE driver of a car that rammed a Carrum Downs divisional van in Langwarrin early Friday morning is Caucasian, mid-to-late 30s, 180cm tall, with a thin build and shaved head. The incident occurred after a suspicious vehicle was seen in a hotel car park, Cranbourne Rd, at 3am. While police were making inquiries a maroon Ford sedan sped past their car. It was found soon after in a driveway at Wahgunyah Cr. The driver of the car reversed into the front of the van, causing significant damage. The two officers were not injured and the man fled towards Warrandyte Rd. A female passenger was assisting police last week. Anyone who saw the incident, or who has any information, should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

A WANTED man driving a stolen Ford Territory at 2.30am, Sunday last week, around the streets of Langwarrin was unconcerned about it having a flat tyre. But residents woken by the noise certainly were and called Frankston police. When they arrived the Seaford man – who was changing the tyre – allegedly attempted to flee along Lennox St before being recaptured with what police say was a small amount of methamphetamines in his pocket. The 35 year old was facing outstanding warrants relating to similar offences and also failing to appear at various courts in February, March and April. He faced Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Monday, but his case was delayed while further charges relating to possession
of ice were heard at Dandenong. No result was available when the Frankston Times went to press. He is facing 37 charges, including theft of cars, theft from cars, petrol driveoffs, possession a controlled weapon, driving while disqualified, possessing the drug ice, and offences against the Bail Act. The car theft charges relate to his allegedly visiting car dealerships in Cranbourne, Cheltenham, Berwick and Moorabbin over the past few months and inspecting cars, then going for test drives and, allegedly, not coming back. The Ford Territory, which police allege was found with stolen number plates, was taken from the Coles Express, Langwarrin, 30 March, after the owner left the keys in the ignition and went inside to shop.

depths to find sharks’ beat TaG for
while the warmer east Australian current still remains in the far east of the state,” Stannard said, adding how “interesting” it would be to see where a particular shark in Bass Strait would go next. With no lack of public interest in sharks Stannard is about to launch a crowdfunding exercise to raise $40,000 for “a funky old school caravan” to “extend research findings and details about sharks directly to the public”. Stannard says the CSIRO and NSW Fisheries are behind the project and see him as “the bridge” between themselves and the public. “The crowdfunder [on the Pozzible website] will be to purchase the van which we plan to use on the coast as well at schools and events. It will be kitted out with storyboards, TV monitor for videos and be selling products to support science research and education,” he said. “I plan to train volunteers and then hopefully employ them as educators as well as to work out of the van. “It’s our opportunity to present and control messaging which until now has been reliant on mainstream media which constantly creates hype and hysteria. We aim to take the caravan to schools for marine education plus festivals and events.” Stannard said mainly juvenile sharks would be tagged off Ballina this year, “we’re just waiting to see if shark numbers show up there again similar to last year. I suspect they will”. “We’re also planning to tag adult
Recorded attacks THERE have been 1003 recorded shark attacks in Australia since 1791, 232 of them fatal. About one quarter of all shark attacks are fatal and the average is one fatal attack a year. Kent Stannard says that in 2015 there were 33 reported shark/human “interactions”, with 22 being “unprovoked”. “In 2015 the number of unprovoked incidents on humans was 11 more than in 2014 and is above the decadal average of 13 a year,” he said. “NSW recorded 14 unprovoked, including one fatality, Queensland had four, Western Australia two, South Australia and Victoria one each. There was one provoked [attack] pregnant female sharks from SA mid-year as we are trying to locate the western nursery somewhere in the Great Australian Bight.” The program Stannard is connected with has tagged more than 100 sharks with acoustic and 70 with satellite tracking devices which, when added to those tagged by CSIRO and state agencies brings the total of tagged white sharks to “well over” 500. “From the last tagging program off Ballina, three dropped off the radar early on then five transmitted for a period before they dropped off and now we have six still transmitting, three on a regular basis,” Stannard said. He said the satellite tags could transmit for up to 18 months – “long enough to identify movement patterns and pathways” – while pop-off archival tags lasted up to 12 months –
in Tasmania, which resulted in a fatality. “Of the 22 in 2015, 18 involved 15 surfboards and body boards, and 14 of these cases sustained injury, 10 severe and four minor. There were no injuries in the remaining seven cases.” Stannard says the average number of unprovoked shark attacks has increased in recent decades. “In the 1990s it was 6.5 per cent unprovoked cases a year rising to 13 a year over the last decade.” The 22 case reported in 2015 are above the yearly average in each decade; 16 of the 22 involved white sharks, 13 on surfboards, three on surf skis. The average number of fatalities from shark attack over the past 50 years is just under one a year, 0.9 per cent.
“long enough to identify where adults sharks move as well as depths they dive, temperature of the animal”. “Internal acoustic tags are designed to last for up to 10 years and are valuable to establish an animals behaviour over that time.” Stannard said while sharks had been tracked to Rockhampton and the Exmouth Gulf, with many returning to where they were tagged. He refers to sharks having “underwater highways” and nursery areas. “It never ceases to amaze me how these animals can relocate underwater pathways they used previously. “These habitats are generally important to other species as well, so where sharks are located, species important to their diet are usually not far away, such as salmon, snapper and tuna. “We've determined they are not per-

manent residents, only seasonal visitors. “That said, they tend to remember areas that have been good to them and it’s fair to say a shark that turns up at Seal Rocks [off Phillip Island] has probably done so for a number of seasons based on successful hunting techniques. “They have different hunting methods for different food sources. Staying on the bottom for fish and rays while operating in the upper water column using their eyesight to hunt seals.” Stannard said sharks have been monitored diving “beyond 1200 metres, particularly when crossing ocean basins, such as between Australia to New Zealand”. He says the accumulated information about sharks will help governments “develop protocols to minimise the risks they expose to humans and
humans to them”. “Risks such as overfishing are critical to sharks and the importance of inner coastal waters to them for nurseries,” Stannard said. “Tagging also helps determine shark behaviour, why and where they will cluster, for how long, when they arrive and when they leave. This enables shark mitigation protocols to be put in place. “My role is to help scientists find the truth and Tag for Life to function as the delivery mechanism, bridging the gap between scientist and the public. I like to describe myself as a marine educator. “Hopefully, the information I provide helps the welfare of the shark and, at the same time, enables ocean users to make better informed decisions before entering

Kid’s play cover a win for pokies Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au VICTORIA’S gambling regulator has decided that the offer to build a weatherproof children’s play area at a Langwarrin pub is a significant reason to allow 10 more poker machines to be installed. The Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) ruled late last month that the Langwarrin Hotel can increase the number of pokies at its CranbourneFrankston Rd venue from 52 to 62 despite opposition from Frankston and Casey councils. As part of the application to install the extra electronic gaming machines (EGMs) hotel general manager Peter Beretta stated in a written submission that a planned upgrade of an existing children’s play area at the pub would be scaled back and unroofed “if approval for these additional gaming machines is not obtained” (‘Push for more pokies is kids play’, The News 20/1/16). VCGLR commissioners Helen Versey and Des Powell found “the potential benefit to the Langwarrin community to utilise a weatherproofed facility that does not already exist within the area to be reasonably significant in the circumstances” is a social benefit as part of the decision to grant the licence for more pokies at the hotel. “Creation of separate spaces for all age groups will allow children of all ages to utilise the facility, which will in turn encourage more families to make use of the premises during the

day,” the commissioners declared. Frankston Council argued in a 40-page submission to the VCGLR against the extra pokies that vulnerable problem gamblers in the pub’s low socio-economic catchment area would be at greater risk of losing more money if the EGMs were approved. The VCGLR stated “the premises is located in an area of relative advantage” and said the hotel had “a number of protective measures in place” to identify problem gamblers. Casey Council feared any rise in the
number of pokies at the hotel would cause more gamblers from Cranbourne to visit the pub. Annual expenditure at the Langwarrin Hotel is expected to rise by $465,879 after the 10 pokies machines are in place, according to figures provided to the VCGLR. The hotel advised the commission it would make annual contributions of at least $10,000 to Theodora House, a food bank charity in Langwarrin, in addition to $80,000 in contributions already made to community organisa-
tions throughout Frankston. When asked whether improvements to a children’s play area should be a reason to grant a pokies licence or licence for additional pokies the office of Labor state government Gaming and Liquor Regulation Minister Jane Garrett noted “this was a decision made by the independent regulator”. Media adviser Holly Little said a statement should be attributed to a government spokesperson. “There is strong legislation in place to clearly separate gaming areas from
other areas in facilities used by families. “Venues are regularly inspected by the VCGLR to ensure they are complying with these standards.” Frankston punters lost $62 million on the pokies in 2014-15 including $7,604,420 at the Langwarrin Hotel coined in by its existing 52 machines. In making its decision to grant the pub’s request for the extra pokies the VCGLR noted Frankston is subject to a municipal limit of 954 EGMs and there are 591 existing machines in the area. The Langwarrin Hotel’s owners face a final hurdle before the 10 additional pokies can be installed in its gaming area. Frankston councillors unanimously rejected its planning permit application for the extra machines at a public council meeting last month. “This is where lonely people go and it’s just enticing for more money to be wasted for families,” Cr Suzette Tayler said. “Children are missing out, children are going hungry. “There are people who enjoy going out there for a flutter, but there are more people now who are really addicted to gaming machines and I think that really makes the family suffer.” The Langwarrin Hotel can appeal against council’s decision at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). Mr Beretta did not return calls from The News. Previously he said he did not wish to discuss the venue’s application for more pokies.
Winter is coming, green team back SUMMER is over but gardeners can now get their green fingers on native plants at the Frankston Indigenous Nursery, a community run nursery, open on the first Saturday and Wednesday of each month from May to November. The nursery reopened earlier this month and offers a range of local, drought tolerant plants at affordable prices, from tube-stock and six inch pots through to 30cm young trees. Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley welcomed the reopening of the community nursery. “It’s wonderful to have a Nursery that celebrates and embraces our local
environment,” he said. “Visitors will find that indigenous plants are not only complementary to Frankston’s natural environment, they are also very beautiful.” The Frankston Indigenous Nursery is at 7 McMannis Way (off McCulloch Ave), Seaford.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Parliament has say on conscription Compiled by Melissa Walsh 30,000 CASES of fruit has been despatched from the Somerville station during the month of March this season. *** THE “Wattles” Club will hold one of their popular socials in the Mechanics Hall on Saturday (22nd inst) in aid of Australia’s Sick and Wounded soldiers. *** AT St Paul’s Church, Frankston there will be services on Good Friday and Easter Day, when the annual Easter Offering will be made. For times see our advertising columns. *** THERE will be no meeting of the Frankston Progress Association on Wednesday next, owing to the Easter Holidays. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday 17th May. *** MR H. Anderson notifies by advertisement that he has commenced the practise of his profession as a dentist, at “Elgin”, Melbourne Road, Frankston, two doors from Beach Street. *** ON Monday evening the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall will be occupied by an up-to-date picture show, the proceeds of which will be devoted to the funds of St Francis Xavier’s Roman Catholic Church. *** A MEETING of members of the Frankston Football Club will be held
on Saturday evening, at 8 o’clock, in the Mechanics’ Institute, to consider the advisability or otherwise, of forming an association this year. *** MR Lester, shire secretary at Mornington, has been appointed town clerk to the Borough of Geelong West during the absence on leave of Mr H. G. Gibbs, who enters upon military training in the Geelong Camp immediately after the Easter holidays. *** MR E. McComb of Frankston, had a welcome Easter gift last Friday in the shape of one of the largest hauls of fish that has been caught by one man for the last 15 or 20 years, getting no less than 300 baskets of fine salmon, which he soon disposed of most profitably. *** TUESDAY next, Anzac Day, will be marked by special services at St Paul’s Church Frankston. The Holy Communion will be celebrated at 7.45 a.m in memory of those who lost their lives and in honor of all soldiers. At 11 o’clock there will be special intercessions and a short address. There will be no evening service, on account of the public meeting. *** THE Rev G. A. Kitchen who, for five years past, has been Vicar of St Paul’s Church Frankston, has announced his appointment by the Bishop of Riverina to the important position of Vicar of Hay, N. S. W. The Church at Hay is the Pro-Cathedral of the Diocese
of Riverina and this appointment is a considerable promotion. Mr Kitchen intends to leave Frankston during the second week of May. *** WE would draw the attention of our readers to T. R. B. Morton and Son’s advertisement in another column of an important auction sale of rich farm and orchard areas seaside blocks, etc in and around Red Hill, Shoreham and Flinders, on Westernport Bay, to take place at their rooms (72 Swanston St. Melbourne) on Friday 28th April, in the estate of the late Mr John Bayne. The terms are easy, being one-fifth deposit, one-fifth in two years, balance in five years, with 5 per cent interest. The sale will commence at 3 o’clock. *** THE residents of Somerville are reminded of the Jumble Fair to be held in the Horticultural Hall on Easter Saturday and Monday, in aid of the improvement fund of the Mechanics’ Hall. During the last year the committee have gone to a big expense in making additions and improvements to the old building, and the residents have now got a hall which is an ornament to the town, and it is up to them to show their appreciation of the efforts of the committee to unite and make the Fair next week a huge success, by giving their presence and patronage. The function opens at 8 o’clock on Saturday afternoon and at 7 on Monday evening. *** PENINSULA Football Association.
The annual meeting of the above association was held at Somerville on Friday evening, 14th inst. the following delegates being present :— Messrs M’Arthur, W’estley, Peters, Vansuylen, Thorne 1, White, Palmer, Young, and secretary, also Mr Marthur President. *** PARLIAMENT is to say whether Australia shall have conscription. Theoretically that is a mere matter of course, but till the other day it seemed more than possible that the issue would be practically determined by the Caucus. Now, however, we have the assurance of Senator Pearce that Parliament is to deal with the matter, that it is not be a mere party issue. Senator Pearce said a few words to an A.N.A. deputation which should be carefully considered. He remarked “A Ministry is always in a stronger position, no matter what action it takes, if the question has been thrashed out in the public mind.” The Minister for Defence had in view the frantic opposition of a noisy wing of his own party to conscription. When Melbourne celebrated its eight hours day, the chairman of the committee which entertained Senator Pearce indulged in a fierce attack on compulsory service, “which”, he said, “would reduce the masses to serfdom”. On the same day in Bendigo, Mr Jensen, Minister for the Navy, attending another eight hours demonstration, had to reply to another fierce attack
on conscription, an attack made by the president of the local Labor League. About the same time certain Militant Laborites were meeting in Melbourne, and were boasting that they would redeem Mr Fisher’s famous pledge of support the Allies by being the last man to enlist. Two or three papers which voice the opinions of the extremists have praised the Hun, have sneered at our soldiers, have declared that to the worker it matters comparatively little whether Germany does or does not annex Australia. It may be said in airy way “These people are as few as they are noisy.” It has to be borne in mind, however, that they are enthusiasts, and that machine politics give enthusiasts power out of all proportion to their number. On the need for conscription Senator Pearce threw a new light when he declared that 120,000 single men had set themselves down in black and white as unwilling to enlist. Of these no doubt many are unwilling only because they object to a profoundly unjust system of enlistment, which sends the best and the boldest to the front, and keeps the worst and most timid at home. When parliament deals with the matter, the battle will rage largely about conscription of wealth. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 April, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Real rivalries that deserve the big screen treatment By Stuart McCullough FRANKLY, I can take it or leave it. The idea of seeing Batman and Superman going toe to toe for a couple of hours fills me with little more than inertia. Granted, given that the movie is going gangbusters at cinemas across the globe, I am clearly in the minority. On paper at least, it’s the ultimate alpha male showdown between men in tights. Which, I guess, might be entertainment of a kind. I suppose my problem with the concept is this: Batman and Superman may well get on each other’s nerves, but basically we all know they’re on the same side. They’re bound to end up, if not friends, then at least having a begrudging respect for each other. (I should have preceded that statement with the words ‘spoiler alert’. Sorry.) Conflict is the cornerstone of storytelling. That’s why we need movies based on real rivalries, where the enmity is palpable and falls off the big screen straight into your popcorn. The filmmakers were confined to the ‘DC Universe’ and whilst that’s not exactly a shallow pool, it can’t help but limit the options. The next installment should look a lot further afield. That way, we’re more likely to get something with a bit of grit, some real venom. To convince us to stump up twenty dollars to head down to the multiplex we need protagonists who genuinely hate each other’s guts. Humphrey B. Bear versus Fat Cat. It’s an open secret that when Fat Cat got pulled for indecency from the nation’s television screens following his controversial refusal to wear pants, it was the result of a not-so-anonymous complaint from another pants-free
character. Ever since Fat Cat trumped Humphrey at the 1983 Logies for the coveted award for ‘Best Performer In An Animal Suit – Mute’, the two were engaged in a battle for supremacy. This involved an early but ultimately botched attempt to have Fat Cat spade and an ugly incident in which Humphrey awoke to discover all his records scratched and that his rival had marked his territory in the most putrid manner imaginable. All the superhero ingredients are present. Both characters have alter egos and fancy superhero suits. Whilst neither of them speaks, I don’t regard this much of an impediment. Given that dialogue in these movies is pretty much superfluous, having a couple of
silent protagonists is not a disadvantage as much as it is taking things to their natural conclusion. I, for one, look forward to spending an afternoon in the dark watching these two settle their differences up on the big screen. Karl Stephanovic versus David ‘Kochie’ Koch. It’s a rivalry, to be sure, but one that is played out in two distinct universes that never meet. That’s the great thing about these kinds of films: you get to make worlds collide. Viewers shouldn’t have to enjoy this simmering conflict by flicking between the channels. It should be presented to them in a unified fashion. Frankly, it almost wouldn’t matter who had who in a headlock. And there’s more – in this instance the
quarrel isn’t confined to the hosts. Like most people, I’d often spent time wondering who would emerge from a ‘Thunderdome’-type competition between ‘Blocky’ and ‘the Cash Cow’. It’s the kind of question that only a big screen movie can answer. Thor versus the Hamburglar. Some might consider this a mismatch, but I genuinely believe that Thor can take it up to the world’s greatest criminal mastermind and, possibly, its most militant vegetarian (why else would he steal hamburgers?). It was always inevitable that one of the most fabled characters from the land of the gods should be pitted against Thor. Granted, Thor has a hammer, but I’ll wager that the moment he reaches for it is the mo-
ment is discovers that one Hamilton B. Urglar has already taken it from him. Santa Clause versus Easter Bunny. Talk about your grudge match. This is the one match-up most likely to be resolved by hand-to-hand combat, preferably in the car park at about three o’clock in the morning. Santa, his eyes as red as his suit, would be in no mood for compromise as he moves in on the creature he refers to simply as ‘the varmint’. Christmas may well be one of the most celebrated days of the year but, for reasons no one can explain, Easter always gets a four-day weekend. It’s the kind of inequity that can only be resolved through battle. Donald J. Trump versus Foghorn Leghorn. I know, I know; on paper this looks like a complete mismatch. One is a two-dimensional cartoon character. The other is Foghorn Leghorn. This would be a battle of strength as of wits, even though one of the combatants would be unarmed. Donald would get himself into a rhetorical lather before Foghorn would be forced to interrupt, saying, ‘I said boy, I said son, I said boy…’ before giving the Trumpster the kind of verbal pantsing that we all know is desperately overdue. That’s cinema. So to Batman and Superman: don’t waste our time with an incomprehensible CGI blizzard. Go get a coffee together. Go dancing. (You can’t tell me that the ladies don’t still love ‘the Batusi’) Settle your differences peaceably. And leave the big screen fighting to people who really can’t stand each other. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

TEX PERKINS
AND THE EVOLUTION OF AUSSIE ROCK By Billy Dixon
It’s hard to pin down exactly what kind of impact Tex Perkins has had on the Australian music industry, or on music more broadly. He’s not your typical front-man superstar, yet he’d be more widely recognised than the lead singers of most modern-day pop groups. He’s been making music since for more than 30 years, but is barely a smidge over 50 years old. Although he did find his feet and a degree of early success with the group Thug, how did he gain so much fame and notoriety without a prominent campaign vehicle like Jimmy Barnes’ Cold Chisel, INXS’ Michael Hutchence or Nick Carter’s Backstreet Boys?!
songs (and bands) lies in the talent he seeks to amass every time the creative juices start flowing. Whether it’s Don Walker or Tim Rogers, Tex has pretty much worked with them all at some point in his life.
In all seriousness though, the bands he has played with – many of which he spawned – have been fleeting firecrackers at worst, but recurring, transient successes all the same. The real secret to Tex’s success in pioneering
The Ape is fronted by Tex and made whole through the presence of riff legend Raul Sanchez (Magic Dirt, River Of Snakes, Midnight Woolf) on guitar; Gus Agars (The Vandas, The Gin Club, Chromenips, Mike
Despite being a “father” of classic Australian pub rock, it’s still surprisingly difficult to put his hits into a nice little genre-specific box. It helps to look at his methodical musical evolution, and the people he worked with, from his maiden “cowpunk” outfit Tex Deadly and the Dum-Dums all the way up to his latest supergroup – and it is indeed a supergroup by any definition of the word.
Noga and the Gentlemen of Fortune, The Dark Horses) on drums and Pat Bourke (Ladyboyz, Mike Noga and the Gentlemen of Fortune) on bass and piano. For those who came to know and love him through Tex Perkins and the Dark Horses, the air of familiar grunge and crunchy distortion will be comforting. For those Tex Perkins newbies, however, it’s important to draw a distinction between this effort and his prior work. Perhaps this distinction is best embodied in the band’s name – The Ape is the first Tex Perkins project in a long time to lack Tex Perkins in the name. Think the Dark Horses, Tex, Don and Charlie, TnT, the Tennessee Four and even “his Ladyboys,” a tonguein-cheek response to the demands of the record companies.
And yet, he proudly proclaims The Ape as “the best thing I’ve ever done, or will ever do” – a phenomenally bold statement for a rocker of such pedigree. Whether or not listeners will agree with this sentiment remains to be seen. Get to the Grand Hotel in Mornington on Friday, 27th May to see how he performs on stage with long-time friend and internationally-recognised Australian guitarist Charlie Owen. It’ll be a gift to the senses and an honest display of technical mastery. If you’re lucky, the legendary rocker might even slip in a few songs from The Ape for your perusal. And who knows... he’s spent some time in the recording studio in recent history, so you never know where he’ll pull out a new hit!

Premature celebration for Gulls – or was it? PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt CHELSEA celebrated a win against Pines on Saturday at the final siren. The goal umpires said it was a draw. The two time keepers had the Seagulls booting 7.4 in the last quarter. The goal umpires had them booting 7.3. Pines coach Pat Swayne watched the replay of the final quarter on Saturday night after the match and thought that Chelsea had booted four behinds in the last term. Swayne shared that information with Chelsea coach Brett Dunne. Dunne was quick to watch the replay and made his own determination. Chelsea FC Football Manager Mason Stewart confirmed on Sunday that “we have viewed the vision and we have had put it forward to the MPNFL to consider”. At the time of going to press, the MPNFL had not provided details of what process would take place and whether the result of the game could be changed. Swayne said he was “gutted”. “Umpires convene and compare scorecards at the end of each quarter. They gave Chelsea three points in the last quarter and the replay clearly shows they kicked four behinds. The scoreboard was right and as far as I’m concerned, Chelsea won by a point,” Swayne said. “We just were not good enough for long enough and we need to get better at that,” he said. The scoreboard had Chelsea in front by a point at the final siren and the Seagulls celebrated as if they had won the game. Pines went into the rooms believing they had lost. The umpires then declared it a draw. Chelsea coach Brett Dunne said the game could have been lost in the third quarter. The Gulls lost Ben Holman for the first 15 minutes of the third quarter and were forced to play with 17 men. Pines took advantage and opened up a 33 point three quarter time lead. Inaccurate kicking in the second quarter also cost Chelsea. The Seagulls booted 4.9 to 2.2 in a dominant second quarter kicking with the breeze, however led by just two points at the main interval. The Pythons took advantage of the strong wind in the third and doubled its score, going from 6.6 to 12.12 in 30 minutes. Trailing by five goals at the final change, the Gulls were far from finished. The home side charged and got to seven points in front (according to the scoreboard) with three minutes remaining before Pines got one back. The scoreboard said the Gulls were up by a point and accordingly, they went into shut down mode. Pines continued to attack and had a shot for goal after the siren, only to miss everything. While the Seagulls celebrated, the goal umpires convened in the middle of the ground, compared notes and changed the scoreboard to read Chelsea 13.18 (96) to Pines 14.12 (96). Dunne was annoyed that his side let another game slip (it lost to EdithvaleAspendale last week by five points). “To be in front and then to let it slip was disappointing,” Dunne said. “It was a real positive that we were able to come back from 33 points down and it was a good effort but we should have won the game. “Two points is better than none I guess but I would have liked the full

four,” Dunne said. Matty Baxter booted three goals for the Gulls and Dave Willett kicked three also to give him seven for the season. Beau Caia has been a revelation in the opening two games with two three vote games for the Gulls. Caia is a 20-year-old solid, running defender who has come from Shepparton United to study. Dunne said the defender “wins his own ball and makes really good decisions”. Aaron Edwards booted four for the
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 20 April 2016
Pythons and Guy Hendry booted three while Beau Hendry and Paul Scanlon were two of their better players. A lot was expected of the Pythons this season but results to date show they are not much better than 2015 when they were back with the pack. Mt Eliza flexed its muscles again on the weekend and this time it was Karingal on the receiving end. The Bulls were optimistic going into the clash but seven goals to two in the second half saw them go down by 63 points, 17.16 (118) to 8.7 (55). Zallec White booted four for the
winners while Justin Van Unen was out of ‘The Recruit’ house and finished with three. Timmy Strickland and Brodie Shaw were superb. Tommy Wilkinson and Blake Simpson with three goals were the best of the Bulls. Langwarrin were restricted to just two goals for the match against Frankston YCW, going down 18.16 (124) to 2.5 (17). The Stonecats had 11 goal kickers while Byron Barry and Anthony Barry made it impossible for the Kangas forwards.
Sean Herdman and Mitch Porter (two goals) were the best of the Kangas. Seaford caused the upset of the season to date, coming from six points down at three quarter time against Mornington to record a 15.9 (99) to 13.14 (92) victory. Matt Andrews was the difference between the sides with five goals for the Tigers, while Mitch Finn and Josh Stokes dominated. Jackson Calder booted four for the Doggies while Warwick Miller was again named the team’s best player.

Bombers fall to the ground with a thud NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt FRANKSTON Bombers were brought back to earth with a thud after being thrashed by Somerville in Nepean Division on Saturday. With wins against Pearcedale and Tyabb in the opening rounds of the season, the Bombers were confident about their chances against last year’s grand finalists. However, the Bombers were never threatening throughout the match, were behind at every change and were blown away in the final quarter to go down by almost 10 goals, 18.9 (117) to 8.15 (63). The scoreboard would suggest that the Bombers were always in the contest, until the final quarter, however, the reality was that they just didn’t have the contribution across the board to challenge. Dale Sutton through the middle worked hard, Ryan Marks-Logan was superb in the back half, Josh Chapman ran hard and competed well and Michael Mairorino booted three goals and looked to be the only dangerous forward. On the flip side, Somerville was in control and dominating in most areas of the ground. Scott Simpson was clearly the best player on the ground with 28 possessions and more than 20 marks. According to those at the ground, Simpson should have nine league votes. Timmy McGennis had 36 touches through the middle, Rowan Hogenbirk had 22 and booted a couple of goals and Jedd Sutton had plenty of it.
On the run: Hastings dished out a thrashing to Rosebud, winning by more than 100 points. Picture: Andrew Hurst
In attack, Ben Crowe (three goals), Tom Shaw (three) and Luke Rowe (four) looked incredibly dangerous. In defence is where the game was won for the Eagles. The back six of Luke Collie, Kane McKenzie, Ben Sedgewick, Jacob Wilson, Tim Hirst and Simpson were dominant. McKenzie smashed Beau Muston, Sedgewick dominated Zac Longham and Wilson, Collie and Hirst mopped up everything. The Eagles’ back six were as cool as ice. Other than Mairorino, the Bombers didn’t look like kicking a goal. The Bombers needed to find a spark and there was not one player that could provide it. Sam Fox booted seven against Tyabb the week before but didn’t give a yelp on Saturday. Muston spent the entire match at one end of the ground, had just 11 touches and didn’t inject himself into the game at any stage. Nathan Lonie was left to do the ruck-
work after Ryan Kitchen went down with a hamstring. The 54-point margin was a fair reflection of the game. The Eagles opened the door a few times by overusing the footy through the middle of the ground. Frankston couldn’t make them pay. The Bombers still have plenty of work to do, while the Eagles were going at 80 per cent and still won by nine goals. Rye is on top of the Nepean ladder after once again highlighting the benefit of strong preparation with a convincing 31-point victory against Devon Meadows. The Panthers led by two points at half time and trailed by just nine points at three quarter time, however, Rye booted six goals to two in the last, against the breeze, to win 16.11 (107) to 11.10 (76). Meadows’ coach Glenn Michie said undisciplined acts, reversed free kicks and 50 metre penalties cost his side the win.
“A lack of concentration when it mattered most hurt us and we just couldn’t go with them in the end,” Michie said. Matt Greig was on fire for the Demons, finishing the game with eight goals, while Ryan Mullett was superb and Matt Dunn again performed a shutdown role on the dangerous Steve Roberts. Adam Kirkwood in game 151 also shone, along with Harry Witty, who has started the season in great form. Pat Boland and Pat Harmes were the best of the Meadows, while Chris Doria booted three goals. While the results said Michie and Boland were sent from the field, it proved to be an administration error. Rosebud were humiliated on Saturday by Hastings, going down by more than 100 points, 20.11 (131) to 3.10 (28). The Blues laid 104 tackles for the match, showcasing the supreme pressure that just didn’t allow the reigning premier any free run. The dangerous Nick Boswell was shut down at half back for the Buds and was forced to move on to the ball to get a kick. The coach Michael Kraska failed to kick a goal. He has just one major in three matches. The Blues had nine goal kickers with Luke Hewitt booting four and Col McVeigh and Dale Alanis three each. Mark Devereaux again dominated for four quarters. Josh Mulheron was also supreme and gave his smalls first use of the footy. With wins against Sorrento and Rosebud, the Blues have announced themselves once again as a genuine
threat to the title. Crib Point is in a world of pain after losing its second ‘winnable’ game on Saturday, this time to Pearcedale, 16.16 (112) to 11.8 (74). Magpies coach Taylor Stratton was extremely optimistic about his team’s chances early in the season, however, he would be having a long, hard look in the mirror right now and wondering what is going wrong. Other than a competitive second quarter, the Magpies were never in the match. Pearcedale were relentless and coach Jamie Merchan pulled the move of the year to date by putting Ben Mitchell to full forward. The man mountain known as ‘Bear’ finished with eight goals, while Alex Harnett and Lachy Marshall dominated. Red Hill did what it had to do and get the four points against Tyabb but it wasn’t overly convincing. The Hillmen squandered opportunities early in the match and had 16 scoring shots to just three in the first half. However, the Hillmen allowed the opposition to go toe-to-toe in the second half, booting eight goals to Tyabb’s six. At the final siren the score was 13.15 (93) to 6.6 (42). Nick Walsh was superb for the Hillmen yet again at full back and Blake McCormack and Matt Dillon worked tirelessly. In more exciting news for the Hillmen, they have picked up Tom McKinley from the VAFA, while Jake Mold is also returning and should play next week, along with Harry Larwill, who is back from suspension.
Footy females aim for flag glory afternoons, as well as the occasional Saturday game. “We really need keen and enthusiastic players aged 17 and over who come to training and get involved in the club,” Rosenquist said. At 34, she said the pressure of the game was “taking its toll” but still loves the contest. “The mind wants to but the body is slowing down a bit,” she admitted. Aspiring players should call Natalie Cardamon, 0407 044 574, or email nat_ sport_fanatic@hotmail.com
