Hotel plan goes to VCAT Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A DEVELOPER who plans to build apartments at the site of the Mentone Hotel has seen a “last chance” offer to Kingston Council rejected by councillors. The application to build apartments at the Beach Road site will now go to the Victorian Civil and Adminis-
trative Tribunal (VCAT) with a ruling expected in October. Paul Huggins, founder of Momentum Developments, has notified council of his intention to take the planning matter to the state planning tribunal. Law firm Mills Oakley wrote to council on 9 March, on behalf of applicant Mentone Bayside Corporation Pty Ltd, a company set up by the developer for the planning application.
This is common practice for such planning applications. A majority of councillors at a special meeting held last Tuesday (13 March) rejected an offer to include a 227-square-metre cafe on the ground floor of the development. The Save The Edgy group has been pushing for a 800-square-metre ground floor food and drinks business to be included in the building. Central Ward councillor Ron
Brownlees said at the meeting he believed the cafe on offer from the developer “may not be what some in the community want … but I think it’s something that the majority of the local Kingston residents would accept and feel comfortable with if we were to go down that path.” Cr Brownlees said it is unfortunate the application will now be decided by VCAT. “There would be a lot of losers in
this situation but I don’t think it will be the developer or the owner.” South Ward councillor Tamsin Bearsley said she respected objectors’ position on wanting a larger food and drinks area in the planned development. “But I think what’s being offered here is reasonable and workable and it provides our community with access to a bar and cafe in this hotel.” Continued Page 6

Primary school to be rebuilt Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au TERMITES-INFESTED classrooms at Bonbeach Primary School will be demolished and replaced as part of a rebuild of the school. Victorian Deputy Premier and Education Minister James Merlino visited the school last week to announce $6.3 million in funding to build a
new main school building. The announcement by the Labor state government comes after some families complained about pupils been taught in staff rooms since crumbling classrooms were closed by the school (“Storm over termite trouble”, The News 28/2/18). Carrum Labor MP Sonya Kilkenny welcomed the decision to rebuild the school in the electorate. “This has been quite a journey with
SATURDAY OPEN DAY
many conversations and meetings over months and months,” Ms Kilkenny said in a statement. “I took this issue directly to the Minister for Education so I am absolutely thrilled that we have acted to ensure that local students at Bonbeach Primary School will finally get the wonderful new learning facilities and classrooms they deserve.” About $120,000 will be provided in the short term to repair termite
damage in classrooms before the rebuild begins. Repairs are scheduled to be finished by mid-year. The school will be rebuilt by about the middle of 2019 after designs are agreed and a tender process to find a commercial builder for the project. The Liberal Party’s candidate for Carrum at this November’s state election Donna Bauer said the opposition will honour the commitment to rebuild the school if elected.

A PATTERSON Lakes family grateful for care by Monash Medical Centre staff when daughter Taylah was diagnosed with leukaemia are raising money to help the hospital. Vanessa Miranda says she began the annual Biggest Playdate fun day after Taylah was treated for leukaemia four years ago. “It is only now that we are out of the chaos of cancer treatment that I truly see the emotional toll it had on our family unit,” she said. “My younger children were three and four when Taylah was diagnosed at 14. They got used to a life of not knowing what we were doing – whether Taylah was home or in hospital – or whether we needed to drop everything and go to the hospital.” She said the support from Monash Medical Centre staff was “amazing”. “Not only do we have world-class doctors there, saving the lives of our children. But they are in paediatrics knowing that they need to support the whole family unit, and they do that so well. Their staff are so supportive and nurturing.” Ms Miranda says she was inspired to start The Biggest Playdate event to give something back to hospital staff. “This event is a community one, no one makes any profit from it. Everyone has volunteered their time, or donated their products and money to

Police patrol
‘Bad’ Moonrise
A MAN returned home at about 4pm on Monday (19 March) to find his Waterways house in Moonrise Close had been burgled. The victim noticed the front garage door was slightly up and the back garage door had been forced open. Entry to the house had been gained and a Mac Pro valued at $1500, $800 iPad and $200 Apple TV box were stolen. His wife’s jewellery valued at about $2500 was also missing. A black Holden Commodore with a trailer was seen in the area at about 2pm. The driver was described as Caucasian, unshaven and was wearing a black hoodie, white T-shirt and black jeans. A small dog was with the driver. Police would like to speak to the man or anyone who saw him in the area.
Roof runner
A TEEN who tried to break into a Keaton Way home in Aspendale Gardens ran off across a front verandah roof when confronted at about midnight on Tuesday (20 March). A resident heard noises at about 12.05am and went to investigate and discovered a man, described as being of African appearance, in his “late teens” and with black curly hair trying to force open a window with his hands. The aspiring burglar “apologised” before fleeing when told police were being called. Minor damage was caused to the laserlite verandah roof. Police would like to hear from any-

one who saw anything suspicious in the area on the night.
A fight took place and the officer grabbed the man’s arm and managed to get him to drop the knife. The officer received two minor cuts to his hand in the incident. Frankston Embona Taskforce detectives were patrolling the area and were on the scene within minutes, arresting a 21-year-old South Dudley man. He was charged with with attempted carjacking, two counts of attempted armed robbery, possessing a controlled weapon (knife), assault-related offences and three counts of committing indictable offences while on bail. He appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court via video link on Wednesday (14 March) and he was remanded in custody to reappear in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court. The two victims, aged 82 and 67 years, both from Frankston, were not injured.
Car stolen
A HOMEOWNER in Mordialloc’s Davey Street who heard “three or four car doors slamming” at about 3.30am on Tuesday (20 March) soon realised a blue Honda Accord parked outside had been stolen. Two sets of car keys and house keys were taken along with three iPhones, a wallet, cash and a handbag. Anyone who saw the blue Honda Accord being driven in the area or anything that may help identify the offenders should contact police.
Driver no rockstar NOTHING good ever happens after 2am is a phrase often banded around nightclubs and that seems to have been the case on Friday 9 March when a 29-year-old male driver allegedly engaged in some reckless conduct endangering life. The man from Ringwood East was seen performing a burnout outside the Rockstar Bar in a green Holden SS ute before heading northbound and losing control of the car and crossing all three northbound lanes of the Nepean Highway. The driver drove over a median strip and mounted a gutter and also collided with a post at Wells Road. The Ringwood East man nearly took a memento of Frankston with him when a section of footpath became lodged in the ute’s bumper bar. Police interviewed the man about his driving conduct and are seeking more

witnesses to the potentially deadly driving behaviour. The man has not yet been charged.
Off-duty police officer foils carjacking An off-duty police officer fought off a man armed with a knife in an attempted aggravated carjacking in Frankston. The incident took place on Ashleigh Avenue when the man, armed with a knife allegedly tried to steal a car which was parked in a car space at the local shops just after 8pm on Tuesday evening (13 March). The driver of the car, an 82-year-old Frankston man, was attempting to start

the car when he was approached by the armed man. The off-duty officer, understood to be a Dandenong area police officer, was walking on Ashleigh Avenue when he saw the man standing at the side of the car, armed with the knife, threatening the driver, demanding he get out of the car. As the officer approached the car he heard the female passenger calling for help. The officer approached the man and asked him what he was doing. The man then allegedly turned on the officer, pointing the knife in his direction and demanding that he hand over his car keys.
Crime up slightly CRIME in Kingston rose slightly in 2017 compared to the year before according to figures released by the Crimes Statistics Agency Victoria last week. There were 18,485 offences last year compared to 17,399 in 2016. Thefts dropped from 4206 in 2016 to 3424 last year. Burglaries and break and enter offences also fell from 1046 in 2016 to 902 in 2017.

Run rematch for fireys’ cause A RERUN is on. Federal Labor Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus will run against state Labor Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson this month to raise money for Edithvale CFA. The comrades faced off last year in the Edithvale CFA All Fired Up Fun Run and are set to compete again on Sunday 25 March over 5km. “Tim just beat me home last year, but I’ve been in training, running on Mordialloc beach and am quietly confident I’ll be able to turn the tables this year,” Mr Dreyfus said. “The CFA is one of the great
institutions of our community and whatever happens I’ll be pleased to do my bit to support this great community organisation.” Mr Richardson won the three-way race against Mr Dreyfus and Edithvale CFA brigade captain Graham Fountain last year. “I’m still feeling alright about holding first place – I’ve been running up and down Bicentennial Park and the training definitely feels good, but you never know what might happen,” Mr Richardson said. “Win or lose, this event is all about supporting the great work of
our local CFA and I’m especially proud to be helping them move in to their brand new fire station soon.” The 2018 Edithvale CFA All Fired Up Fun Run will be held on 25 March and Registrations can be made at allfiredupfunrun.com.au online.

Developer’s ‘last chance’ saloon offer rejected Continued from Page 1 Fellow South Ward councillor Georgina Oxley disagreed saying a substantial part of the community had made its view known via the Save The Edgy campaign. “We need to fight for our community and we need to fight for the community that used to enjoy what the Mentone Hotel was who are pretty sure they wouldn’t be able to enjoy what the Mentone Hotel would be with 227 square metres. That’s, I think, our job as a council to fight for our community.” Cr Rosemary West feared the cafe would be little more than “a kiosk”.
Crs Bearsley, Brownlees and Geoff Gledhill voted to effectively accept the developer’s offer of a 227-squaremetre cafe. Crs David Eden, Oxley and West voted against the proposal. Cr Tamara Barth and the mayor Cr Steve Staikos abstained. Cr George Hua was absent from the meeting. The planning application is due to be heard at VCAT in October. The main building facade cannot be altered due to a listing on the Victorian Heritage Register. Tribunal time: A development plan for the site of the Mentone Hotel is heading to VCAT later this year.

Pet care a comfort for family violence victims
Nice drop: Frankston Wine and Food Society members Nicole Stanton, left, and Pamela Wilson at Rare Hare wine and food store at Willow Creek Vineyard in Merricks North. Picture: Kate de Castro Photography
Wine and food society flourishing THE Proudly Frankston campaign launched in 2013 by an alliance of the bayside city’s leading lights produced many good initiatives – including a wine and food society. Now entering its sixth year, the society was set up along the lines of the Melbourne Cricket Club Long Room Wine & Food Society. Frankston Wine and Food Society has flourished, uncorking 24 events since 2013 including Christmas functions as well as lunches at the start of each of the four seasons. The group launched a new website last month, designed by a Somerville business. Co-founder Max Butler said the society had 70 members. “We enjoy bringing great wine and food to people from all walks of life,” he said. “You don’t have to be a wine guru, an avid foodie or have a big bank balance to join us.”
He said the society had a natural advantage – being close to one of Australia’s great wine regions, the Mornington Peninsula. “We enjoy supporting local winemakers as well as the many venues in Frankston and on the peninsula. We also look further afield, bringing in wines from other regions of Victoria as well as from South Australia and NSW.” Overseas wines have included drops from France, Italy and Spain, all presented with a dash of culture and history. Mr Butler co-founded the society with chartered accountant Robert Thurley and Kevin Johnson, a retired CEO now best known as president of Menzies Caring for Kids. All three grew up in Frankston and played football and cricket in the district. New events planned this year will include an “Old Bottle Evening” and wine appreciation nights. Details about the society including how to join are at frankstonwinefoodsociety.com.au or call Max Butler on 0419 343 989.
CRISIS accommodation is now available for women, children and their pets fleeing family violence. The Eastern Domestic Violence Service (EDVOS) says pets can play a significant role in family dynamics and it is importance to also support them when women and children are fleeing family violence. EDVOS now has accommodation available at three crisis properties in Melbourne’s eastern metropolitan area that can safely accommodate women, children and their pets – each equipped with kennels, pet food and other animal amenities. The service is also working with Women’s Liberation Halfway House (WLHH) to provide the first specialist pet-friendly women’s refuge in Victoria by the end of June. “Women and children go through unspeakable trauma during family violence and being forced to abandon one of their only comforts causes further emotional damage,” EDVOS executive director Jenny Jackson said. “EDVOS pet-friendly crisis properties and WLHH refuge can save lives, both human and animal. The knowledge that these shelters are out there, and that they are increasing in numbers is a bright spot in the ugly reality of family violence. “Hundreds of women, children and their beloved pets across Victoria are constrained in violent relationships because the fear and practicalities of leaving are just too overwhelming. Let’s hope this can now start to change.”
Ms Jackson said research shows that 53 per cent of women in violent relationships with pets reported their animals had also been abused or threatened. Welfare workers or women in distress can call EDVOS 9am-8pm Monday to Friday or 9am-5pm Saturdays on 9259 4200.
Adopt a greyhound A “50 Shades of Grey” adoption promotion ending next Sunday (25 March) is aimed at finding new homes for 30 greyhounds from the RSPCA Victoria’s Animal Care Centres. RSPCA Victoria animal care manager Liz Walker said the dogs had distinct personalities. “We have excitable, attention-seeking greys through to docile, shy gentle giants,” Ms Walker said. Most are exempt from having to wear muzzles in public and come with a reduced $50 adoption fee. “Greyhounds are intelligent, friendly dogs with a gentle and sensitive temperament. They are well suited to a variety of different lifestyles and homes, which is why they continue to be one of our most popular dogs among those adopting,” Ms Walker said. “Although they are often bred for sprinting, most greyhounds do not require much exercise and will happily curl up on their owner’s couch.” The RSPCA Peninsula Centre is at 1030 Robinsons Road, Pearcedale.

Big Dog Diner downed and out A BURGER bar in Frankston fined for several food handling offences last year has closed its doors for good. Big Dog Diner, an America-themed fast food outlet, on Cranbourne Road closed down last month. A Big Dog Diner burger joint in Bendigo has also shut up shop. Frankston Council took the business proprietor to court in February last year after council inspectors were “obstructed” from carrying out food safety inspections (“‘Dirty’ diner dished up fine”, The News 14/6/17). The state government’s Food Convictions Register listed multiple hygiene offences at Big Dog Diner. Business owner Kris Stephens claimed on Facebook the company “made the top 6 per cent of company’s [sic] (in the worlds [sic] history) based on turnover”. He posted the company was “two [sic] big and very vulnerable” and he admitted he “had not done enough homework and created better management systems”. “Lastly I will say to anyone who is in business well done! It’s not easy but I hope you all find it as worth while [sic] as I do and will continue to learn grow and improve as I will.” A sign on a window at the Frankston diner said the landlord is owed rent for sublease of the premises. Food handling offences last year included a failure “to store food in such a way that it was protected from the likelihood of contamination”, failure “to maintain the food premises to a standard of cleanliness where there was no accumulation of garbage, food waste, dirt, grease or other visible matter” and a failure “to maintain easily accessible hand washing facilities”. The diner’s owner was also fined $50,000 in Bendigo for multiple food standards code breaches at its restaurant. Neil Walker

New mums embraced by ambassador JORDAN Ablett is used to the spotlight as a model and community advocate, and now, the wife to AFL player Gary Ablett is taking on the cause of some of Victoria’s most vulnerable women, as the newest ambassador for The Babes Project. The crisis pregnancy support service, with support centres in Frankston and Croydon, announced Jordan’s new role on International Women’s Day and said the passionate campaigner would help shine a spotlight on the importance of support to empower pregnant women and new mums. “I’m so excited to be entrusted with such an amazing responsibility – I absolutely love the
heart behind The Babes Project, and I can see the genuine love and passion that the team has for the mamas they work with every day,” she said. A resident of Geelong since AFL footballer husband Gary was traded back to Geelong Football Club from the Gold Coast last year, Jordan has worked with children through her volunteering, as a school youth worker, and as a teacher’s aide and support person for a students with different abilities, and she said supporting mothers was a natural progression. “Having met some of the mothers who are going through The Babes Project perinatal program,
you can just see the huge impact on their selfconfidence and self-worth, and how that will flow through to their children. The Babes Project founder and managing director Helen Parker said Jordan was a great fit for the role. “Jordan grew up on the Mornington Peninsula, which is an area The Babes Project has done a lot of work, especially since we opened our Frankston Pregnancy Support Centre in 2016,” she said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Sir John Madden memorial debated Compiled by Brodie Cowburn WE call special attention to an advertisement in another column of a public meeting, to consider the best means of perpetuating the memory of the late Sir John Madden amongst us. Since the Franskton man’s lamented death there has been singularly unanimous public expression of opinion, both in the Press and otherwise, of his many virtues as Lieutenant Governor and as Chief Justice of Victoria. Many tributes to his upright personal character have also appeared. It has been very fully recognised that in all his actions and in his many public utterances, he always was on the side of right, and that his loyalty in the present world’s crisis found expression in many fervid and stirring appeals. It is only fitting that his many virtues should be recognised in an adequate manner by those amongst whom he had lived so long. *** INVALID soldiers to the number of about one hundred and sixty from the Base and Caulfield Hospital and Hyton Rest Home visited Tyabb on Sunday the 17th March. The day was glorious, and everything went off without a hitch. A glance at the lavish dinner awaiting the men (before the attack) proved that Tyabb’s first attempt at entertaining soldiers was a great success. The cars arrived well up to time and at 1 o’clock the men filed into the hall to satisfy their appetite. ***
THE Union Trustee Company of Australia Limited is applying for probate of the will of Nathaniel Pearce, sen., late of Pearcedale, orchardist and grazier, who died on 9th January last. Testator by his will left estate valued at £3239 to his widow and children. *** The old established business in Bay Street, Frankston, known as “The Frankston Coach Factory” so long and successfully carried on by Mr Hugh Cameron, has changed hands, the old proprietor having been compelled through ill-health to give up the laborious life of a smith. The business has been purchased by Messrs Brasher and Cunneen, who intend to carry on the business on the same lines as formerly, and hope to meet with the same generous support as that given to their predecessor. *** TENDERS will be received up to the 25th March, at 8 p.m., for the ERECTION of FIREBOX over Main Entrance in Vestibule. Specification may be seen at Mr Dalman’s Boot Shop, Bay Street. The lowest or any tender not necessarily accepted. *** NOTICE is hereby given that at a meeting of the Council of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings held at the Council Chambers, Somerville, on Thursday, the 7th day of March, 1918, the said Council did agree to the following resolutions, that is to say:— Regulating and restricting the erection
and construction of hoardings. Requiring the pulling down and removal of hoardings. Authorising the Council to pull down and remove hoardings, erected or constructed contrary to any by-law of the Council or not pulled down or removed as required by or under any such By-Law, and to sell the materials and apply the proceeds in re-imbursing the expenses of pulling down and removing such hoardings and in paying into the Municipal Fund any penalties or fees due by the owner thereof. *** THE 23rd half yearly meeting of the Langwarrin Progress Association will be held in the vestry of the Methodist Church on Monday evening next, March 25th. It is requested that all members will attend as important motions will be brought forward to extend scope and usefulness of this association. *** A MEETING of the committee of the 7th presentation to Frankston Volunteers was held at Mr Wheeler’s house on Tuesday, March 19th, at 8 p.m Present:—Councillor Oates, President of the shire, in the chair; Mr Wheeler, and Dr Plowman, Hon. Sec. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed, and amongst other correspondence a letter was read from the late Sir John Madden, stating that it would have given him great pleasure to present the medals on the 7th occasion on which such presentations have been made in Frankston.
A motion of which Dr Plowman had given notice, was carried viz, to rescind all previous motions as to the 7th presentation being made a special function. The organisers of the Red Cross concert, to be held on March 30th (Easter Saturday) have kindly consented to allow the presentations to be made during the interval of the concert, and it was resolved that the presentations be then made. Dr Plowman was asked, and consented to present the medals, on the occasion. The names of fourteen volunteers were approved as being qualified to receive medals. *** AT a special meeting of the committee of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute, held on Tuesday last, it was decided to take steps to have the main hall of the building enlarged at a cost of something approaching £1000, and in order to meet this expenditure it is intended to issue 100 debentures at £10 each to the public at 6 per cent. As the enlargement is very urgently required the committee intend to call for tenders for the work as soon as the debentures are taken up. *** ANOTHER party of returned soldiers were entertained at Frankston on Friday last by members of the Wattle Club. The visitors who were mostly men from other states arrived by motor car, and as the day was beautifully fine the trip from Melbourne was greatly enjoyed.
At the Mechanics, all that was needed to satisfy the needs of the inner man was provided in their usual lavish style by members of the Club, and full justice was done to the good things provided, by the returned warriors, who appeared to have lost none of their dash in an attack. *** THE Somerville Methodist Church celebrated their Harvest Festival on Sunday, March 17th. There was a beautiful display of fruit and vegetables, and the church was prettily decorated with autumn leaves, berries and flowers. The members of this church can be complimented on the splendid way they arranged the gifts. Suitable sermons were delivered in the afternoon by Rev Tonkin, of Frankston, and Mr P. Twyford at night. *** A VERYsuccessful dance was held in the Mechanics’ Institute on Wednesday, March 13th, in aid of the hall funds. In spite of a adverse weather the attendances was quite large, and an enjoyable evening was spent. Miss F. Unthank played at the dance, while Mr A. Meldrum acted at M.C. The floor was packed. A dainty and plentiful supper was provided by the lady’s committee. On Saturday night, March 16th, a dance was held by the Social Club and this was also well attended. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 23 March 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The Mystery of the Phantom Hyundai By Stuart McCullough THERE it was. Parked right outside our house. Parked right in the spot where I usually park. The sheer nerve. It was if it was keeping watch. Occupying my preferred parking spot in the hope of breaking my will. I eyed it suspiciously. It’s strange how well you get to know your street, to the point that anything that appears unexpectedly is regarded not as a visitor but as an intruder. There was no doubt about it; the phantom Hyundai parked outside our house was starting to freak me out. As is often the case, my wife knew more about it than I did. She was at home when the dog started to lose her mind and bark like crazy at whatever was happening outside. Turns out, quite a lot was happening just outside, all of it centering on the dirty white mystery Elantra. It seems that the police had appeared in our quiet little street and taken someone into custody, leaving their car behind. The way it was told to me, it sounded quite dramatic. In my own mind, I made it more so; with helicopters, swat teams and smoke bombs. Having heard the tale of the owner’s arrest, I began to suspect that he might not be returning any time soon. The whole thing was kind of creepy. The car looked a little beaten up and had no number plates and there was a bunch of weird looking equipment in the backseat. There were plastic pipes and bags of goodness knows what. If were to take a guess, it looked like a portable still, good for producing moderate quantities of high quality moonshine from left over potatoes and
PAGE 12
whatever else was lying around. I’ve seen ice cream trucks in our neighborhood, but a mobile booze unit would be something new. I doubt it’d play ‘Greensleeves’ as it arrived at the local park. Probably Cold Chisel. Despite knowing that the likely owner was probably too busy ‘assisting police with their enquiries’ to worry about the fact he was in my spot, I did nothing for a time. I suppose that, as
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 14 March 2018
I often do, I hoped that things would sort themselves out, thereby requiring me to do very little. Instead, the phantom Hyundai remained exactly where it’d been left. After a time, it started to feel as though it was watching me. Whenever I walked past, I felt as though its eyes followed me as I stepped, like those of a painting in a mystery movie. It was as though I was under surveillance.
Eventually, I’d had enough and finally screwed up the courage to do something I’d never done before – ring the local Council. As a general rule, I’m reluctant to complain. After a quick discussion with Google, I discovered that my local Council has a special phone number to call in the event that you want to report an abandoned vehicle. Perhaps, I thought, I could report the phantom Hyundai and retain my anonymity. Ideally, I would disguise my voice to protect my identity. I reasoned that if I made the phone call whilst sitting in semi-darkness and silhouetted against a plain wall with venetian blinds, then my voice would automatically be altered because that’s how it works on television. Alternatively, I would be happy to have my head pixilated, even more so than it usually is. It was with trepidation that I dialed the number. Even though I was wearing dark glasses and an especially large hat, I was somewhat caught off guard when the person who answered wanted to know my name, contact number and my address. With my dreams of anonymity shattered, I became a total supergrass and divulged all within seconds. The person I was speaking to was very reassuring. Apparently, the lack of any number plates was of great assistance in terms of demonstrating that the vehicle had, in fact, been abandoned. I was told that they’d send someone out to inspect in a matter of hours. Between hanging up and walking out the front door, a large yellow sticker had already appeared on the
windscreen of the Hyundai. I honestly don’t know how they got here so quickly. The sticker warned that if nothing changed within the next seven days, that the car would be towed. There was nothing more to do but wait. And continue parking on the opposite side of the street. Seven days came and went but the Council and the car did neither. It remained stubbornly in place as though part of some strange, silent protest. Seven days became fourteen. I began to sense as though the Hyundai might have called the Council’s bluff. On day eighteen, the car was still outside our house but I noticed that our next-door neighbor’s car was missing, and I began to fear for his safety; suspecting a mix up of some sort may have occurred. Then it was gone. Without fanfare and still without explanation, it vanished. I’m none the wiser as to where it came from and how it came to be parked outside our place, but I felt an enormous sense of calm following its departure. It’s funny how little it takes to disturb the equilibrium we so often take for granted. My car is, once again, parked outside my house. As for the phantom Hyundai, who knows? Perhaps its been reunited with its owner and they’re off selling moonshine. Or perhaps it’s been crushed and has now gone to the great big car park in the sky. Whatever the case, farewell to the creepy white phantom Hyundai. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Peninsula Grammar recruits world netball champion as head netball coach PENINSULA Grammar was pleased to announce its newest recruit into its Sporting program with the recent appointment of Sue Hawkins to the role of Head Coach of Netball. Ms Hawkins is well qualified for the role and excited to join Peninsula Grammar’s elite coaching team. She is a member of the International Netball Federation Coaching Advisory Panel, holds Netball Australia High-Performance accreditation, presents for Netball Australia at their High-Performance accreditation course and is a proud member of the 1983 World champion team. For Principal, Mr Stuart Johnston, the appointment clearly demonstrates Peninsula Grammar’s commitment to a first class sports program. “We know that the best coaches get the most out of their players and Ms Sue Hawkins’ career to date shows her dedication both professionally and personally to her team members drives them to excel.” After coaching the New Zealand Tactix in the ANZ Championships for the past 3 years and England’s National Netball Team in previous years, Ms Hawkins has returned to Australia to work closer to home in the education sector, an area of great passion for her. “I am teacher trained so am thrilled to be returning to school to work with the students at Peninsula Grammar,” she said. Ms Hawkins is looking forward to applying her extensive coaching experience to Peninsula Grammar’s netball program. “My aim is to create a challenging, inclusive, professional high-performance
program,” she explains. “One that will motivate players and staff to be better tomorrow than they were today. It is critical that this program has a balance between performance, recovery loading and fun.” Peninsula Grammar’s Director of Sport, Ms Shona Middleton is extremely proud to have Ms Hawkins on board. “Ms Hawkins will bring so much not just to our Netball program but our overall Sporting offer,” she said. “As a national
netball champion and coaching expert she will be invaluable to our elite development coaching team. I know the staff and students are very much looking forward to working with her in the season ahead.” Ms Hawkins is due to start preseason training shortly with the Peninsula Grammar netball teams as they prepare for the Winter season which kicks off in Term 2 as part of the Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria competition.

Fun for all as sun shines for Red Hill Show ON Saturday March 10, the Red Hill showgrounds transformed into a colourful, appetizing and entertaining spectacle for the whole family. The sun was out, the weather beautiful and the Mornington Peninsula was on show. The community was the focus of this year’s celebrations with a record number of local groups and exhibitors participating. The skilled artisans of the McClelland Spinners & Weavers and Woodturners Guild educated and inspired the crowd. Willum Warrain our local indigenous group, the CWA and Ian a traditional puppet master ran free activities and creative workshops. “While agricultural shows are closing across the country for lack of support, Red Hill is bucking this trend

PUBLIC COMMENT INVITED
The Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA) have prepared an Environment Effects Statement (EES) and draft Planning Scheme Amendments (PSAs) for the level crossing removals at Edithvale and Bonbeach. The EES and draft PSAs will be on public exhibition for 30 business days from 19 March to 2 May 2018. During this time, members of the public are welcome to make written submissions about the EES and PSAs.
The Projects The Edithvale and Bonbeach Level Crossing Removal Projects (‘the Projects’) include the removal of the level crossings at Edithvale Road, Edithvale and at Station Street/Bondi Road, Bonbeach by the construction of a rail trench. A new train station will also be built at Edithvale and Bonbeach.
The EES The Victorian Minister for Planning determined on 5 May 2017, that an EES is required for the Projects under the Environment Effects Act 1978. The EES process will inform decision-making on the Projects under Victorian law. Further information regarding the EES process can be found on the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning website at www.planning.vic.gov.au/environment-assessment/ projects/edithvale-and-bonbeach-level-crossingremoval-project. The Projects (EPBC 2017/7906) require approval under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The relevant controlling provisions for matters of national environmental significance (MNES) are: the ecological character of a declared Ramsar wetland (section 16 and section 17B); listed migratory species (section 20 and section 20A); and listed threatened species (section 18 and section 18A). Assessment of the Projects’ (action) impacts on MNES are being assessed by the State through an accredited process under Schedule 1 (part 2.1(B)) of the Bilateral Agreement with the Commonwealth. The EES being exhibited therefore addresses these potential impacts.
Planning Scheme Amendment Draft PSAs to the Kingston Planning Scheme have been prepared and will be exhibited with the EES. The draft PSAs will enable LXRA to implement the Projects including an exemption from the requirement to obtain a planning permit.
How to access the EES and draft Planning Scheme Amendment The EES and draft PSAs will be on exhibition during normal opening hours at the following locations: •
State Library of Victoria, 328 Swanston Street, Melbourne
•
City of Kingston Municipal Office, 1230 Nepean Hwy, Cheltenham

Kangas in - none down PROVINCIAL
Picture: Andrew Hurst
By Mr & Mrs IT Gully LANGWARRIN will play in the MPCA Provincial grand final after beating Mornington with ten wickets in hand in a dominant semi final performance. Langwarrin openers Matt Prosser and Taylor Smith were both at the crease for the first ball and the final ball after both scoring an unbeaten 76 to see Langwarrin finish on 158, chasing Mornington’s 157. Mornington won the toss and batted first. Langwarrin’s Adam Campbell was a star with the ball, bowling 20 overs, nine maidens and snaring 4/37. Matt Prosser wasn’t far behind also bowling 20 overs and picking up 5/49 with his leg spin. Trav Campbell was the other wicket taker with 1/29 off 16, at stumps Langwarrin were 0/7. Mt Eliza was in a controlling position after the first day of play on Saturday against Peninsula Old Boys. Things didn’t change much on the second day with P.O.B bowled out for just 75. Mt Eliza’s Chris Mc Donough snared 4/11 and Rob Maskel picked up 3/2 to hand the Mounties a more than comfortable victory. After winning the toss the Mounties batted first and got away to a reasonable start before Tim Clarke was out for 22 with the score on 39. The problem early on was Tim Clarke was one of only three Mt Eliza batsmen to score more than 20 runs. Opening partner Josh Goudge scored 44 before being trapped in front by John Forrest. Goudge was the first of six wickets for Forrest. The Mounties needed someone to stand up with the bat and it came from skipper Justin Grant with 68 – an innings that could have won the match. The final five wickets fell for just 36 runs. The Mounties were bowled out after 78.2 overs for 173.
Sharks charge into grand final PENINSULA
By Mr & Mrs IT Gully FLINDERS will play in the MPCA Peninsula grand final after beating Moorooduc in the Peninsula Semi Final by six wickets. Moorooduc won the toss and batted first but lost their first three wickets for just twelve runs. These wickets included Rashimal Mendis and the dangerous Madushanka Perera for a duck. Shamith Kannangara steadied the Moorooduc ship with 43 and Nick Williams scored 41 at the bottom of the innings, but it only helped the Ducks to 161 in 79.5 overs. Dwayne Field, Matt Burns and Neil Barfuss were all convincing with the ball for the Sharks, snaring two wickets each. Unbelievably Flinders took just 37 overs on day two to grab the win. Despite losing 2/21, Tom Clements with 53 and Blake Hogan-Keogh with 69, including thirteen boundaries, moved the scoreboard swiftly to 4/135. Shane Beggs and Barfuss took the score to 4/162 providing the Sharks with the six wicket win. Long Island had left Main Ridge with a lot of work to do after the
PAGE 18
opening day of their match at Ditterich Reserve after scoring 225. However, Main Ridge opener Michael Holmes smashed a six, which not only bought up his century, but won the game for his team. Earlier, skipper Nick Jewell once again performed at the big dance scoring 101. Main Ridge went on to win the game and progress to the grand final. Long Island won the toss and batted first. Club legend Michael Burke top scored for the Islanders with 53 and skipper Aaron Paxton opened with 43 to lead the way for the Islanders. Pubudu Edirisinghe chimed in with 30 and Brad Bailey hit 29 to help the Islanders to a very competitive total. Luke Collins was superb with the ball for the Ridge, claiming 5/50 from 19 overs including five maidens. Main Ridge was forced to face the final six overs of the day, however took it in their stride, scoring more than six runs an over to be 0/39 at stumps. Skipper Nick Jewell resumed on 23 and Michael Holmes 16.

Braves, Reds go down to the wire DISTRICT
By Mr & Mrs IT Gully BADEN Powell will play in the MPCA District grand final after a thrilling last over win against Mt Martha. Baden Powell was shaken up after two players pulled out due to injury before the match. Things were made even worse when skipper Craig Entwistle injured a calf and was forced to bat with a runner, however, with one over to spare Baden Powell was able to pick up victory and advance to the grand final. The Braves resumed day two on their home turf at 0/2 chasing Mt Martha’s first innings total of 155. The Reds needed to get away to a good start and they did so with an opening partnership of 47 before Ryan Godwin was out for 34. After the good start the Reds lost 3/17, putting them on the back foot until Brett Wilkinson hit 30, Simon Street 22 and a wag of the tail got the Reds to their 155 total. Craig Entwistle lead the charge with the ball for the Braves with 4/45 off 20 overs, while Michael Ballard helped himself 2/26 off 14 overs. Heatherhill will play in the 2017/18 MPCA District grand final after comfortably beating Seaford in the semi final.
Picture: Andrew Hurst
Set 161 to win, Seaford was rolled for 120 after Jake Theobold ripped through their innings with six wickets. Chris Cleef top scored for Seaford with 55. Heatherhill left themselves in the box seat to progress to the MPCA District grand final after a pretty good opening day. At stumps on day one, Seaford were left with 120 runs required for victory with just six wickets in hand. Despite the fact there was still some batting to come, the Hills did have
the support of scoreboard pressure after scoring 160. Heatherhill’s opening pair of Sam Mullavey and Steven O’Donnell scored just 33 with Mullavey outed for just eight. O’Donnell went on to make 52 and Kristian Miller hit 32 to provide the backbone of the Hills innings. Unfortunately for the Hills they lost their last seven wickets for 50 runs. This was largely due to the bowling performance of Dale Christie who snared 5/44 from 14.5 overs for Seaford.

Dromana leaps into the grand final SUB-DISTRICT
By Mr & Mrs IT Gully DROMANA cruised into the MPCA Sub District grand final after thrashing Carrum Downs in the semi final
over the weekend. The Hoppers smashed 254 before rolling Carrum Downs on the second day for just 118. On the opening day on Saturday the Hoppers lost their first two wickets
for ten runs before Kierran Voelkl and Jack Fowler steadied the ship with 53 and 72 runs respectively. Jedd Savage then strolled to the crease and helped himself to 63 while Sam Fowler chimed in at the end with 34
to help the Hoppers to 254. David Dervan was the pick of the Carrum Downs bowlers with 3/50. Carrum will take on Dromana in the grand final after a two wicket victory over Tootgarook.
Batting second Carrum had an extra over to try and win the match, an over that proved to be handy given Tootgarook was bowled out for 132. Carrum hit the winning runs eight wickets down.
Mornington, Strikers, Skye best hopes SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie THE State League season kicks off this weekend with Mornington, Peninsula Strikers and Skye United looming as serious promotion prospects. Mornington and Strikers will underpin their promotion push with quality visa players while Skye has used the local market to bolster its senior squad. Promotion for Mornington would mean a third State 1 South-East title in four seasons and would unlock the NPL door for Adam Jamieson’s men. “If anything I was probably guilty of being overconfident last season so I’m a bit more wary this time but we know what’s ahead of us and what we have to do,” said Jamieson. If Strikers succeed it will be the 12th promotion in 19 seasons for new head coach Andy O’Dell, who is bullish about the club’s prospects. “I told Trevor (Johnston, club president) if you give me the job I want to win the league,” said O’Dell. “I think it’s about time there was another team on the peninsula other than Langwarrin and Mornington. “I know people don’t like hearing that and I’ve got my detractors but I don’t give a stuff mate in fact the more they have a go at me the better I like it.” Two of O’Dell’s former clubs, Altona City and Sunshine George Cross, have tried to lure him back in the past few days but he has recommitted himself to the Strikers’ job. Billy Armour has enjoyed success at Skye United since taking over midway through the 2015 season and avoiding relegation. The following year Armour’s men clinched the State 4 South title and last year they fell at the final promotion hurdle losing their round 22 home clash with Brandon Park 2-0. “I think we’ve very much strengthened the squad and added the experience of big Caleb (Nicholes), Cameron (Leopold) and Chris (Driver) and I’m hoping that we’ll be able to do better in the important games,” said Armour. Skye defeated State 2 outfit Doncaster Rovers 3-2 in a friendly last Friday night at Anderson Park with goals from Nicholes (2) and Driver. In Saturday’s NPL2 action Langwarrin defeated Murray United 2-0 at Lawton Park. Late goals and blustery conditions were the main stories of the afternoon with Langy hitting the mark in the 87th and 91st minutes. Andy McLean put in another excellent shift before being subbed late in the contest by Viktor Medini who within a minute pounced on a poor back pass only to be upended by Murray keeper Abdulkerim Koc. Langy strike ace Liam Baxter converted the resultant penalty with ease. A few minutes later another Langy substitute was in the spotlight as Sergio Yanez broke forward quickly then played the ball to Baxter on the left of the area who slipped it inside for partner in crime Johnny Kuol to slot past the advancing Koc and complete the scoreline. Langy won the under-20s game 2-1 with headed goals from Dylan Kilner
Main man: Daniel Mota in action for Seaford United. Picture John Punshon
and Sam Klepac and a second-half penalty save by Ben Caballero. Big Josh Mulla came off the bench in the second half for his Langy swansong. The 19-year-old is returning to an apprenticeship in his native Cairns and his old club Leichhardt Lions FC. In Sunday’s NPLW action Southern United lost 7-0 to Bulleen Lions at Monterey Reserve. Southern’s under-12s lost 2-0, the under-14s won 2-1 with goals from Candy Kilderry and Rhys McKenna, the under-16s lost 2-1 and the under 19s lost 4-0. Southern has added defender Lilli Gonzalez from Box Hill United to its senior squad and she is expected to make her debut against her old side in Sunday’s round 5 clash. Under-16 coach Andrea Vignati resigned last week and Southern expects to name his replacement shortly. In other news Frankston Pines won both of its recent friendlies against Seaford United and Casey Comets. Pines beat Seaford 4-2 last Tuesday at Monterey Reserve with goals from Naseer Mohammed, Mitch Landers, Aaryn Rix and Munib Mohamed then knocked off Comets 3-1 at Comets Stadium on Saturday with goals from Ioasa Saemo (2) and Landers. Seaford United beat Heatherton United 1-0 at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday with Matty Morris-Thomas settling the issue. Baxter had a 5-2 win over Old Mentonians at Baxter Park on Saturday under the watchful gaze of recently appointed
assistant coach Mitchell Ball. Davidson Alliieu (2), Matt Morgan (2) and Alan Lipsett scored for Baxter. Somerville Eagles had a 2-0 win over Berwick Churches on Saturday with goals from Andy Yeo and Bjorn Kutschera.

PENINSULA HEALTH COMMUNITY PARTNER Staff from Frankston Hospital and Commonwealth Bank will be collecting funds throughout the day in support of the Peninsula Health Heart Service. With heart disease, every minute saved or lost can mean the difference between life and death. That’s why it’s vital we have world-class heart services for everyone, right here on the Peninsula. Support the Frankston Hospital Heart Appeal today so more patients have access to lifesaving heart care, close to home. WAKEFUL CLUB STRAPPERS PRIZE The Victorian Wakeful Club has established this Strapper’s Award at various metropolitan and country cup meetings. It recognises the work of some of the most important and unheralded people in the industry, and recognises and understands that the amount of work and effort that is required to get a Thoroughbred to the track starts long before race day. The main judging criteria is the presentation of the horse and then all things being equal the strapper’s appearance comes into account, especially the wearing of Work Safe approved footwear. SILENT DISCO The Switch Silent Disco is a unique, fun, safe experience suitable for all ages. Wow your friends with a sea of colours with our comfortable, wireless, LED headsets.
