Drastic steps
CR Geoff Gledhill, left, Tony Brooker, Dorothy Booth, Margaret Motram, Sue Blackford and David Banks make their feelings known about a state government intervention to open up the possibility of high-rise development in central Mentone.
Height concerns ignored Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au IGNORING residents’ concerns about high-rise development in Mentone brought protests to Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne’s doorstep last week. Friends of Mentone Station and Gardens president Dorothy Booth, frustrated by Mr Wynne’s failure to acknowledge residents’ concerns, gathered supporters to unveil a ‘Keep Mentone Marvellous Stop High Rise Development’ banner on the steps of
state parliament last Wednesday (17 August). In 2015 Mr Wynne controversially overruled Kingston Council’s decision to make a four-storey height limit in central Mentone ‘mandatory’ until the year 2030, instead ruling it be ‘discretionary’ (‘Height limit change shock’, The News 23/12/15). No explanation for leaving the door open to high-rise buildings in Mentone has ever been given by the Minister despite repeated requests for an explanation by The News and residents. Sandringham Liberal MP Murray
Thompson took up the residents’ plea for answers from the Planning Minister by playing a recording of the Les Miserables song Do You Hear The People Sing? in the Parliament chamber. The Speaker censured Mr Thompson for his actions. “The Victorian Labor government ripped up the mandatory four-storey height limit for the Mentone activity centre and effectively said to developers, ‘The sky is the limit’. Thirteen storeys in Bentleigh — how many in Mentone?,” Mr Thompson asked in Parliament.
Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights PH: 9773 4453 www.chelseaheightshotel.com.au
“The decision was made without consultation with the Mentone community and is contrary to the decision of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 panel report of September 2013.” Mr Thompson called on Mr Wynne to reverse his decision “to maintain the amenity and the future liveability of marvellous Mentone”. Mrs Booth said Mr Wynne had plenty of chances over several months to acknowledge concerns about the possibility of high-rise development in Mentone before the protesters arrived at Parliament.
“It caused quite a stir … Richard Wynne will not see me. I have been trying to see him since the week before Christmas last year,” she said. “I’ve been sending emails and writing letters and have heard nothing back. “We just want him to come and look at Mentone and then make up his mind. We don’t want anything higher than Kilbreda tower.” The News has asked for reasons for Mr Wynne’s intervention to amend council’s Mentone Activity Centre Structure Plan without response on three occasions over several months.

Still game for dance
Police patrol
Safe after science ‘chain reaction’ A SCIENCE experiment at Aspendale Gardens Primary School last week ended with three people being taken to hospital. Mordialloc police were told a parent at the school’s science expo mixed half a cup of Coca-Cola in a plastic jug with the same quantity of granular pool chlorine. A chemical reaction created a vapour which, when inhaled by the parent and her children, caused respiratory problems. CFA crews treated the patients with a breathing apparatus and removed the
IT’S never too late to dance the day away. A dozen seniors attended a debutante presentation dance this month at Aspendale Senior Citizens Club. Seniors aged in their 70s and 80s put rehearsal time to good use by gracefully dancing despite some never having danced in public before. Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said it was inspiring to watch. “It just goes to show we are never too old to learn new skills. I congratulate Aspendale Seniors for the event and for encouraging their members to stay young at heart.” One debutante confided to the mayor he had never learned to dance before so it had been a real challenge to remember the moves. Debutantes celebrated with a dinner and more dancing with friends and family after the main dance on Saturday 13 August. Aspendale Senior Citizens Club offers a range of activities for seniors aged 55 and over and arranges bimonthly bus train and theatre trips.

chemicals after the incident, Tuesday 16 August. Ambulance Victoria said three people were taken to Monash Medical Centre, Clayton, with minor injuries and were in a stable condition. Aspendale Gardens principal Cheryle Osborne told Channel 9 News she had spoken with those injured in the incident and reported they were “safe and well”. “The school is now back to normal and, apart from this small incident, the science fair was a success.”
Scammer takes retailer goods A WOMAN using a stolen credit card scammed electrical goods valued at almost $20,000 from a retailer in Mentone, Wednesday 17 August. The woman originally asked to buy two TV sets from Seconds World, 4pm. Police said CCTV footage showed her “pretending” to insert a card into the register and manually keying in a card number. The woman then left saying her car was not big enough to fit in the TVs. She returned later with two men saying she would also like to buy three more TVs, washer/dryer and hairdryer. CCTV footage shows the woman attempting to “pay” six times with the stolen card before the transaction could be authorised and processed. Police said she again pretended to insert the card while manually keying in a card
number. Her accomplices – who arrived riding motorbikes towing Coles’ promotional signs – loaded the goods into a hired Bunnings utility and a red Holden Commodore and drove away. The store manager was contacted by his bank manager next day and told the credit card had been stolen. The woman is described as Maori or Indian in appearance, long black hair, chubby build, wearing a green camo cap, long sleeve white top with a no-sleeve black puffer jacket and white runners. The men were 35-45 years old, one Caucasian, bald, large build, wearing a Dry Rider motorbike jacket with darkcoloured pants and brown runners. The other had short black hair, large build, wearing dark clothing.
Court on Waves theft charges

A MENTONE woman has been charged with seven counts of theft after allegedly stealing wallets, phones and credit cards from swimmers at Waves Leisure Centre, Cheltenham over sev-
eral weeks. Detective Senior Constable Susanna Hughes, of Kingston CIU, said the woman had been bailed to appear at Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court, Thursday.
No school nudes in sight on site Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THERE were no photos of girls attending Frankston and Kingston area schools on a website targeting Australian schoolgirls as part of a vile trade of nude snaps of women without their knowledge. The overseas-hosted site where people publicly swapped images of nude women was reportedly set up in December and taken offline Friday (19 August) amid fears underage girls’ private photos sent to friends or boyfriends were subsequently exposed to the online world. While a person posting on the site last
week specifically sought nude photos of students from two Frankston area schools The News understands none were ever uploaded to the site. Another person asked for any nude pictures of students from a third Frankston area school, but again there was no response to the request on the comments thread online. The site, which The News has chosen not to name, was reported to Victorian and interstate authorities by women disgusted that private photos were published without their consent. Male visitors to the site hunted for nude photos by naming women and in
some cases listing their home suburb on the website in an attempt to solicit pictures. Queensland Police confirmed on Wednesday (17 August) they had investigated the site. “While we have not received any formal complaints, we are working with our interstate colleagues, the Australian Federal Police and the eSafety Commissioner and have conducted an initial investigation into the origin of the site,” Detective Superintendent Cheryl Scanlon, of the Child Safety and Sexual Crimes Group, said in a statement. “We believe the site is hosted over-
seas and does not appear to contain any child exploitation material.” Victoria Police said it will not comment on specific cases but did confirm a Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team is investigating. The Victorian Department of Education is helping police with enquiries. “It is disgraceful to see Victorian students being targeted by this highly inappropriate website,” spokesman Alex Munro said. “The online exploitation of young people is a very serious issue that can have serious ramifications for those involved.” Mr Munro said support would be
available for any students at schools named on the site if needed and people should report inappropriate photos published online to police. Some photos were deleted from the site by users after its existence was reported elsewhere but there is no evidence at this stage that any of those images featured students attending Frankston area schools. n Call Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000 or the Child Protection Helpline on 132 111 with any information about the site. Anyone suffering sexual assault or exploitation can call 1800 RESPECT and Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800 for support.

A CFA career firefighter is riding across Victoria to raise awareness of mental health as a result of his experience with depression. Wangaratta-based operations officer Terry Heafield stopped off at Patterson River fire station last Friday for morning tea and to speak of his experiences. His told firefighters to seek help and not be ashamed if they were depressed. He said depression should be seen as an ailment, not a weakness. The stopover was part of the Springvale to Patterson River leg of the trip which overall will take him 2500km through country towns and ending at Geelong where his brothers are also firefighters. Heafield said he had gone undiagnosed with depression for a long time, with his family blaming the pressures of firefighting for his ill-temper and dark moods. Now that things are out in the open, they are confident he is back on level ground, emotionally speaking. His efforts have put much-needed focus into his life and wellbeing. “I cannot believe the support and interest that my ride has achieved,” Heafield said. “My goal is to help just one person and not allow themselves to get to the point that I did. “While this goal has already been achieved, I will continue to try and help others. The ride is a major step in my recovery as I would never have thought of doing anything like this in my life. “I would like to have discussions with as many people as I can along the way and hope that everyone will get involved. I would like to hold discussions at locations where I will be resting for the night but am happy to do anything on the journey.” The Facebook page Don’t Do It Alone allows people to make contact and follow the ride.

Police patrol A 14-YEAR-OLD girl’s birthday party at Carrum community hall attracted unwanted guests, Saturday night, 20 August. Police were told gate crashers used a garden picket to smash a window in the Walkers Rd hall’s entry about 7pm, and then tried to intimidate guests into handing over their mobile phones. At 8pm the party photographer complained that her $300 North Face jacket had been stolen. Police were told the name “Zayden” was mentioned several times. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.

the metal locking mechanism to enter the shed, near Showers Av, and then rummaged through cupboards and drawers to steal $25 coins and a battery and solar inverter valued at $390.
Crashers ruin party
A MAN was arrested after a scuffle with a PSO at Edithvale station, early Saturday morning, 20 August. The 23-year-old Edithvale man had been drinking at a Mordialloc hotel before taking a taxi to an Edithvale pizza shop. At 1.45am PSOs said they heard the man abusing them and told him to leave the station. He refused and walked up to them and continued to be abusive. The PSOs entered their building and locked the door but the man banged on the door until they came out and confronted him. In the scuffle the man allegedly attempted to grab a PSO’s baton, while the other sprayed his face with OC foam. Transit police arrived at 2.35am and took the man to Moorabbin police station where he denied grabbing for the baton and being ordered to move on. Police are reviewing CCTV footage before possibly pressing assault charges.
PO burgled
Woman punched
AN elderly woman was allegedly punched in the face by a younger woman at a pedestrian crossing in Carrum, Wednesday 17 August. The woman told police she was walking her bike along Station St when a younger man and woman with a dog blocked her way. The woman said the younger woman yelled abuse at her and, without warning, punched her in the mouth causing pain. Police are seeking CCTV of the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.

MAIL thieves have again been active, this time at Braeside post office, overnight Wednesday 17 August. Police said the thieves got away with up to 30 mail items from internal archive boxes at the Venture Way premises, while also leaving letters scattered on the bench. However, the offenders failed in their attempts to enter the locked storage room by smashing away wall plaster with a jemmy bar. Police are investigating how the burglars managed to enter the building, which was robbed twice in July.
Parker’s punch
A SOUTHLAND shopper was punched on the nose after being told he “stole” someone else’s parking spot, Sunday 21 August. The 46-year-old Aspendale man told police he had pulled into the parking bay when he was approached by a woman who said it was hers. The man denied this and walked off to do some shopping. He was in a shop when he noticed the woman speaking on her phone outside. A short time later a man approached him and accused him of insulting his daughter before punching him. Passers-by then intervened. The victim reported the matter to Moorabbin police but later withdrew the complaint.

STUDENTS at Patterson River Secondary College are facing a ban on technology in school this week but it not a punishment for any misdemeanour. The ‘ban’ on mobile phones, iPads and laptops in the school library is a way for students to rediscover the joy of the printed word on the page during the Children’s Book Council organised Book Week (22-25 August) in partnership with state government. The week, dubbed ‘Lit Fest’ at Patterson Secondary, will be an interesting technology separation experience for some students who have known nothing else than a time when reading on glowing screens is prevalent. ‘Stories around the campfire’, a competition matching teachers with their favourite books and collaborative story writing activities as part of book making fun will be part of Book Week at the school. See cbca.org.au/book-week-2016 for further information on Book Week and activities for school students.

Meet The (Bootleg) Beatles
Celebs poker night
Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THERE can never be a reunion of The Beatles but the closest modern fans of the most influential band of the 1960s and beyond, after they split, can see the next best thing in Frankston early next month. The Bootleg Beatles, widely regarded by fans and music critics as the best Beatles tribute band in the world, will play the Frankston Arts Centre on Sunday 4 September and ‘Paul McCartney’, also known as Steve White, is looking forward to the show. The 47-year-old joined The Bootleg Beatles about five years ago replacing original Paul who retired after two decades on the road. Right-handed White learned to play bass left handed, such is the band’s dedication to giving Beatles fans a gig-going experience as close to the real thing as possible. “I practiced for ages and ages and eventually made the switch. The first gig I did playing left handed was awful, I was absolutely terrible. After I came off stage I said I’m never doing that again … but someone came up to me and said ‘it’s great to see a left-handed Paul’ and they thought it was great.” White says he played in another 1960s covers band before being approached to join the bootleg Fab Four alongside ‘John Lennon’ (Adam Hastings), ‘George Harrison’ (Stephen Hill) and ‘Ringo Starr’ (Gordon Elsmore) but basically “played the John Lennon part, despite looking a lot like Paul, since he is originally a rhythm guitarist. “Every show we turned up to, as soon as they saw me they said ‘oh, you’ve got to be Paul’ so eventually over time me and the bass player decided to swap over.” Music fans who turn up see The Bootleg Beatles
The long and winding road: The Bootleg Beatles will play Frankston as part of an Australian tour.
in Frankston can look forward to a full Beatles show featuring songs, band costumes and stage projections from every stage of the iconic band’s career. They will hear some songs the originals themselves didn’t perform since The Beatles effectively stopped being a touring band in 1966 shortly before releasing the classic Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album filled with layers of sonic trickery produced in the studio. “Obviously, there’s a staple of hits we have to do since the majority of people are, I guess, casual fans,” White said. “I could name 100 favourite Beatles song. I do tend to favour Ticket to Ride because I feel that was the start of when the music started to become more self-indulgent and was kind of on the cusp of when things were shifting from the happy go lucky pop song to more contemporary music. It was so different to anything that came before it. “And Twist and Shout lifts the roof and also Hey Jude is one of those that’s a massive anthem.” White hasn’t meet Paul McCartney but he says the original incarnation of The Bootleg Beatles, who also supported UK Britpop rock ‘n’ roll stars Oasis on tour in their 1990s glory days, did catch
up with McCartney and George Harrison on a few occasions. “George asked ‘Who is the Bootleg Brian Epstein? Because he’s got all the money’,” White said. “McCartney told The Bootleg Beatles who were also playing the Queen’s Jubilee concert ‘not to play Hey Jude because I’m playing it’.” It’s a full-time gig playing gigs around the globe as the bootleg Fab Four but White feels lucky to follow in the footsteps of The Beatles since he has been a huge fan of the band since the age of 8 when he remembers “playing their albums back to back over and over again and really, really loving it”. He urges Beatles fans in the Frankston area to come together for an evening of shared Beatlemania next month. “Come along one and all, old and young, and let’s have a big party together.” n The Bootleg Beatles play the Frankston Arts Centre on Sunday 4 September, 8pm. Tickets for the 2 hour 15 minute show, including interval, are $65.50, $55.50 (FAC members and concession), $45 (under 16s), $55 each (groups of 10+). See artscentre.frankston.vic.gov.au or call FAC 9784 1060.

Eyes have it at hospital THE Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital has unveiled revolutionary new technology at Frankston Hospital to connect patients who present at an emergency department with eye injuries or conditions in outer metropolitan, rural and regional areas with specialist advice without having to travel to east Melbourne. Eye and Ear Hospital CEO Mark Petty said the initiative will enable Peninsula Health’s emergency department clinicians who are not ophthalmic specialists to manage patients with the help of a remote eye and ear specialist when needed. In 2014, 2700 people travelled from the Mornington Peninsula to the Eye and Ear Hospital for urgent treatment. Peninsula Health’s emergency services clinical director Dr Shyaman Menon said the device is a game-changer for clinicians in regional and rural communities. “After looking into the statistics with the Eye
and Ear, we found that we could have treated many of these patients if we had access to this new telemedicine technology,” Dr Menon said. Developed by medical technology manufacturer, Ingeneus and the Eye and Ear with state government funding, the ground-breaking eyeConnect device will collect patient data, visual information and images of the eye. Together with information from the eyePressure device, a disposable tonometer which indicates the zone of a patient’s eye pressure, this data package is sent to the emergency department at the Eye and Ear Hospital for review by a specialist doctor who can then provide advice on where the patient should be treated.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Trooper’s message found in bottle Compiled by Melissa Walsh A TOMATO bottle was picked up on the beach a few days ago by Mr E. McComb, containing the following words. From the date on the note it has evidently been drifting about for a long time: “The finder would be doing a great service to me if he tell my mother (Mrs Sarratt, Claremont Avenue, Malvern) that all is well—Trooper Jas Sarratt, Albany, 29/10/14.” *** EX-COUNCILLOR G. Keast notifies in another column his reasons for not seeking re-election at the hands of the Centre Riding ratepayers. This advertisement was inadvertently omitted in our last issue. *** MR Marcus McBrodie ably conducted the auction of two laurel wreaths at the Scotch Concert on Saturday last. This maiden effort of Mr McBrodie’s resulted in a substantial sum being raised for the Frankston District Soldiers’ Memorial Fund. *** THE public meeting convened by the advocates of 6 o’clock closing of hotels was held in the Frankston Mechanics’ hall on Thursday evening, at which there was a good attendance. Mrs Beckett and Mr J. G. Barratt were the speakers. A report of the meeting will appear in our next issue. *** AT the evening given by the produce stall holders, on Wednesday night, the opal brooch, given by Miss McKenzie to he raffled for the Mt Eliza
Red Cross society, was drawn, and Miss Webster, of Malvern proved to be the holder of the winning ticket. *** AFTER being three and a half months in hospital, suffering from injuries received while in charge of an ammunition plant at Broadmeadows, Private A. G. Young has again been sent to that camp and is now attached to the 21st reinforcements of the 5th battalion of Infantry. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Athletic sports Club will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Friday 8th September at 6 o’clock when a full attendance of members is requested. *** SOME time during the performance at the Frankston Hall on Saturday evening some low down specimens of humanity crept into the room at the back of the hall, where the ladies had laid out light refreshments for the performers to partake of at the conclusion of the programme, and stole all the sandwiches and decorations on the table. This sort of thing is despicably mean and paltry, and the persons who indulge in them are in a fair way to land ultimately in gaol. *** THE following letter has been received by the hon. sec, of the Australian Club:-Dear Miss McComb, please convey to members of your club my hearty appreciation of their kind thoughtfulness in presenting to the Langwarrin Camp Hospital the
towels, pillowslips, etc. These articles all help to make the poor fellows comfortable. It is not easy to find people showing such true Christian benevolence and such little acts make our efforts in the men’s behalf worthwhile. Again thanking you, I am Yours truly, I. Blezard, Major. *** IN a paragraph appearing on the 5th inst in our columns referring to winners in the Victorian Poultry and Kennel Clubs Show held recently a slight error occurred in mentioning Messrs Taylor and Brand’s awards. It should have read: They not only secured 1st prize for farmers’ trio, with Plymouth Rocks in the Utility Class, but first prize for best utility hen in the open class against all breeds and second prize for White Leghorn cockerel. The above mentioned hen being a white leghorn purchased from W. Aisbhett “Lynwood Poultry Farm” Langwarrin, who also possesses the father of the 2nd prize cockerel. *** THE I.O.R. social tens No 151 Frankston, held its quarterly meeting on Monday Aug 14th. In spite of bad weather about 30 members were present. During the quarter two Amore of our members have enlisted for active service. There is about 2400 from Victoria serving for King and Country. There has been a steady increase of members for the quarter. Three more candidates were proposed last meeting.
A resolution was passed that we invite the Rev H. Warrall down to address a public meeting in Frankston regarding closing of Liquor Bars and the secretary was instructed to call a public meeting of the trustees reinvesting in the war loan. Various other items were brought forward, and after business the members retired to the anti-room, where supper was arranged by the sister members. After justice had been done to this part of the program, games were indulged in. A very enjoyable evening was spent. During the evening the C.R. on behalf of the tent, presented Brother F. Girdleston with a travelling bag on his departure from Frankston. *** THE Frankston Court of Petty Sessions was held on Monday last, before Mr Cohen, p.m., and Messrs Williams, Oates, Clemaens and Grant J.P. Two cases of alleged breaches of the Licensing Act were heard. The first one was that of the licensee of the Bay View Hotel, who was charged, by the police, with supplying drink to other than a traveller, on the 30th July. Mr Brayshay appeared for defendant. From the evidence adduced it appears that the accused had taken the necessary precautions before supplying the drink, and she was led to believe that the man supplied was a bona fide traveller. The bench therefore dismissed the case. The licensee of the Half Way
House, Carrum, was then charged with illegal traffic in liquor on 23rd July last. Mr Meagher appeared for the defense. A number of witnesses for and against, were heard and the Bench ultimately decided that the case had been proved, and a fine of 40s was imposed. On a charge of having her bar door open on 30th July accused pleaded guilty, and was fined 7£. *** THE news of the death of Mr C Blythe came as a shock to the residents of Frankston on Monday evening, when it became known that he had expired at the residence of his son-in law, Mr P. Wheeler, from internal hemorrhage. Though the deceased gentleman has been somewhat of an invalid for the past 8 or 9 months, he has been able to get about and seemed to be improving, and his death came most unexpectedly. He filled the position of stationmaster at Frankston about 24 years ago, and was well known to the older residents. Prior to his illness he filled the responsible position of pier master at Williamstown, but since then he has resided with Mr Wheeler, at Frankston. The remains were conveyed by motor hearse to Williamstown on Thursday, where he was buried alongside his wife, who predeceased him about 12 months. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 26 August, 1916
THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Farewell to the snow globe of my youth By Stuart McCullough I’M sure it’s not just me. Even though I’m so far into adulthood that I’m in danger of bursting out the other side, it’s fair to say that I’m yet to move out of my parents’ house. Not completely. Instead, my old bedroom in Tyabb remains a repository of items that I have deemed both too important to throw away and yet not nearly important enough to take with me. They sit on shelves and are stuffed in cupboards, silently waiting for the day when I finally decide their collective fate. As a result, these items have languished for decades. Physically, I left that house in my teens. Since then, I’ve lived at various addresses in a variety of circumstances; and each one of them was home for a time. But there’s nothing quite like the house you grew up in. Whether it’s a lack of organization on my part or an attempt to keep one foot in a distinctly distant camp, I can’t say. All I know is that, after more than twenty years, the excuses are starting to wear a little thin. There are books, lots of them. These include activity workbooks from French class that may well contain homework I ought to have submitted in about 1986. If I were to attempt to hand these in now, chances are I’d be escorted from the premises rather than congratulated. Tempting as it may be to make one final appeal to have my mark reviewed in the hope of being bumped up from a ‘B’ to an ‘A’, it’s time to let that dream go. Besides, were I to attempt to submit my homework now, the teacher might ask me a question in French, thereby revealing
PAGE 10
that I have failed to retain anything more than a few stray Serge Gainsbourg lyrics and the chorus of Plastic Bertrand’s ‘Ca Plane Pour Moi’. There are prizes too. These I largely
Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 24 August 2016
accumulated in the early part of my high school career before they dramatically petered out. Mostly they’re in the form of novels but there are a couple of trophies too, denoting im-
probable sporting prowess. Without exception these are suitably miniscule. The sports trophies are located not in my old bedroom but my father’s study, together with the assembled product of his own athletic career which, to date, consists of a medallion (I’m not sure for what. Probably car-pooling) and a plaster figurine of a bloke with his leg raised in a pose I’d describe as ‘post torpedo punt’. By congregating the awards won by the entire family, my father hoped it would look impressive. It doesn’t. Even less so since one of my nephews started to over-achieve and collect trophies that tower like skyscrapers over our meager statuettes. As for the books, they were items I’d chosen at Robinson’s Book Store. In a sense, they were the worst kind of gift. I was charged with the awesome responsibility of selecting the present that the school would then give back to me. Accordingly, I felt an overwhelming responsibility to choose something that was suitably intellectual rather than anything that might trigger a recount. There was a volume of Dickens so large that it required a forklift. Despite the fact that it was beautiful, it was impractical. In fact, so many of Charles’s works were contained in a single book it meant the print was so necessarily small that even an ant would have struggled to read it. Then there are the souvenirs. These are last remains of various family outings purchased with significant budgetary limits and a looming time constraint. It was common for us to be informed that we had five dollars and just as many minutes in which to select
an item from the gift shop by which to remember the moment for the rest of our lives. The results were predictably uneven. In Tasmania I bought a sculpture of an old lady’s face carved into an old apple. The years saw it plunge further into a state of decrepitude until it collapsed. There was also the snow-globe that I bought at Mount Buffalo (money, incidentally, I should have spent on a hot chocolate). The intervening years have seen the water evaporate and the snow vanish. I blame climate change. Often I received a book for Christmas. Each of these has a message from my father in handwriting that is not so much messy as it is encrypted. I’m not sure what these messages mean, but I’m not yet prepared to give them up. Some books are about subjects I have long since abandoned including cricket, rock collecting and gunfighters of the Wild West. Beside these tomes is a rabbit’s foot. It too was a gift, intended to bring good luck, although presumably not for the rabbit. Soon, the hour will come. The umbilical connection that has so long ensured that part of me remains in Tyabb will be severed. Some things I will keep. Others will be sent to the great hard-rubbish night in the sky, never to be seen again. So long droughtaffected snow globe. Farewell rabbit’s foot. I’ll be sure to leave something behind, though. Perhaps a book tucked discretely on a shelf or my ‘most improved’ football trophy. A sense of place is a powerful thing. There will, I think, always be part of me in Tyabb. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Eagles pull off a miracle PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt EDITHVALE-ASPENDALE pulled off one of the most amazing results in memory on Saturday when it held on to draw against Frankston YCW and subsequently, snatch a last gasp spot in the top five. The Eagles broke a four game losing streak to pull off the draw, a result that was a long way from anyone’s wildest imagination prior to the match. Edithvale-Aspendale had struggled with injuries and lost its place in the top bracket at the hands of Seaford. Having to beat top of the table YCW was remote and although Seaford was odds-on to lose to Mt Eliza, there was little chance the Eagles could wrest back their position in the five. However, despite the ball spending 80 per cent of its time in the YCW forward half in the tense final quarter, the home side was somehow able to prevent the opposition from scoring enough to grab victory. The game seemed to be going to script in the first half when, despite the Eagles playing some good footy, the visitors led by 15 points at the main break. The Eagles though, through the likes of star players Mark Mullins, Jeremy Heys and Stevey Mannix, got their nose in front in the third term with three unanswered goals. Edithvale had 22 scoring shots to YCW’s 17 and outscored the Stonecats 5.5 to 3.2 in the second half. The final score was YCW 10.7 (67) to Edithvale 9.13 (67). The draw came on the back of the announcement earlier in the week that Stonecats coach Scott Mathers would not seek reappointment for the top job in 2017. The Stonecats were on the phone to at least three prospects early in the week, including premiership coaches Tony Blackford and Gavin Artico. Despite winning though, the draw was as good as a win for Edithvale. Seaford was only two points clear of Edithvale going into the final round after they gave up a five goal three quarter time lead against Karingal earlier in the year to hold on for a draw. The Eagles will play neighbour Bonbeach in the cut throat elimination final on Sunday at Frankston Park af-

ter the Sharks finished in fourth place on the ladder. Bonbeach had a scrap against Langwarrin, scraping home by the smallest of margins. The corresponding game earlier in the season was without question one of the worst spectacles for the season – this one wasn’t much better. The Sharks led by 21 points at quarter time after kicking with the wind, led by three points at half time and by 15 at three quarter time. The Kangas dominated the play in the last and prevented the Sharks from scoring, however, despite opportunities to win the game, Langwarrin failed by a point, 7.8 (50) to 7.9 (51). Jackson Casey and Daniel Smith were superb for the Sharks while Nick
Tuddenham with three goals and Zach Andrewartha were very good for the Kangas. Mornington continued its steam train ride to the very end with a 20.13 (133) to 10.14 (74) victory over Karingal. The Doggies opened up a break in the opening quarter before getting eight goals in front in the second. Jackson Calder, Stuey Seager and Dale Whelan all booted four goals for the Dogs while Ryan O’Dell dominated. Chris Hay kicked six for the Bulls while Aaron Lees and Harry Czarnecki got the top votes. The Bulls have formed a subcommittee and have begun the interview process for a new coach,

with former coach Bevan Malloy and former Mt Eliza coach John Georgiou believed to have thrown their hat into the ring. Pines got back onto the winner’s list with a big 19.9 (117) to 9.17 (71) win against Chelsea. The Pythons restricted the opposition to one goal in the opening half and led by 42 points at the main change. The game opened up a little in the second hour with the Gulls kicking eight goals to Pines’ nine. Michae Bezzene booted four goals for the Pythons in only his third game for the season while Aaron Ludewig and Brad Kiely were impressive also. Grant Trew gets all the tough jobs for the Gulls and he was outstanding again while Curtis Bywater also

played one of his best games for the season. Mt Eliza will go into the qualifying final against Pines without Dan Gromley after he was reported in the opening quarter of its match against Seaford. The Redlegs booted five goals to one in the opening quarter and cruised to a 12.9 (81) to 4.11 (35) victory against the Tigers. Gormley finished with a game high four goals for the Redlegs and Dave Barton and Harper leonard dominated. Chris Murfett and Kyle Mathews were the best of the Tigers, who missed out on a final berth by percentage.

Buds and Blues make it through NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt ROSEBUD made it nine wins in succession against Somerville in the qualifying final on Saturday, withstanding a last quarter surge to win by seven points. For three and a half quarters at Red Hill Recreation Reserve, Rosebud completely dominated the Eagles. However, trailing by five goals at three quarter time, the Eagles changed things around in the last term, won the ball on the outside and outscored Rosebud 4.6 to 1.1 to almost steal the match. The momentum swung in the game when Rosebud gave away two free kicks in the goal square, resulting in two goals before the ball was taken back into the centre square. Those two goals to coach David Hirst reduced the margin to nine points, then Tim McGennis booted a long bomb to reduce the margin to just three points with seven minutes left to play. Somerville continued to dominate general play but could only manage a further two behinds, reducing the margin to just a point. Then, for the first time for the quarter, Rosebud won the ball at half back, kicked the ball into space, Nick Boswell gathered and bounced his way to half forward before the ball ended up with the best player on the ground, Ben Dwyer, who kicked the sealer with just a minute on the clock. The stranglehold that Rosebud has on Somerville dates back to 2013. In that year, the Buds and Eagles met in round four (Rosebud by 19 points) and round 13 (Rosebud by 10 points) In 2014, they met in round eight, Rosebud winning by 65 points. Both clubs missed the finals in 2013 and 2014. In 2015, they met four times - in round six (Rosebud by 11 points), round 13 (Rosebud by 5 points), in the second semi (Rosebud by 16 points and the Grand Final, which Rosebud won by 20 points after trailing by eight points at three quarter time. In 2016, we had to wait until Round 10 before we got the replay of the 2015 Grand Final. Rosebud jumped out of the blocks on that day and kicked the first seven goals of the game, ending the contest at Olympic Park there and then. After the first change, Rosebud just outscored Somerville 7.9 to 7.8. Rosebud was all over Somerville in the first three quarters. They were more committed to the contest, calmer under pressure, cleaner with their disposal and worked together as a team a whole lot better. The 28 point half time lead and 30 point three quarter time lead was justification for the hard work. Rhys Bancroft, Ryan Spooner, Dale Stephens and Brenton Payne worked tirelessly through the middle, along with Dywer, who again had the bet-
ter of Justin Farrelly, Chris Zurek, Seb Krumeich, Matt Baker, Brenton Davidge, Chris Dew and Nick Boswell all led the backline and the likes of Keegan Downie and Daniel Wilson looked dangerous in attack. The Buds were all over the Eagles and to make matters worse, none of the ‘stars’ for Somerville were having any impact. Desperate changes needed to be made by Somerville and they were simply made too later. Trailing Rosebud by 28 points at half time, the Eagles needed to produce Plan B. They waited until three quarter time to get dangerous and adventurous. Scott Simpson was outstanding for the duration for the Eagles across half back but he should have been swung into the ruck or up forward much sooner than he was. Luke Collie did a great job on Keegan Downie, restricting him to just one goal, while Adrian Speedy was the best run and carry player for the Eagles. The facts are that the Somerville brand is not good enough to beat Rosebud. If they get the chance again, the Eagles need to change it up and be unpredictable. They may not get that chance! On Sunday in the elimination final, Hastings led from early in the second quarter to the finish to knock Red Hill out of the 2016 premiership race. However, the 10.12 (72) to 7.9 (51) victory came at a price for the Blues with ruckman Josh Mulheron being aided from the field with what appeared to be an ankle or knee injury, while key forward Colin McVeigh was reported in the last quarter for striking and was offered a mandatory two week ban. The Blues were disciplined and well-coached, preventing the HIllmen from playing on, protecting the corridor, pressing up at the half backs and getting numbers back behind the footy. Red Hill dominated the inside 50 metre tally in the opening quarter but continued to kick it to the opposition. Brendan Dunne, Terry Green, Paul Rogasch and Matt Clifford did well down back, Nathan Gray, Mark Deveraux, Pete Mawson and Luke Smith were influential through the middle and Shaun Foster, Luke Clark, McVeigh and Luke Hewitt were dangerous in attack. The Hillmen played into the Blues’ hands and it cost them victory. The margin was four goals at half time when McVeigh nailed an after-the-siren goal and the margin blew out to five goals at three quarter time. The Hillmen outscored the Blues in the final quarter but never threatened. Sean Marchetti, Jake Mold, Blake McCormack and Ben Poole were the best of the Hillmen. Hastings will now play Somerville in the first semi final on Sunday at Devon Meadows while Frankston will play Rosebud at Rye on Saturday.
