MORNINGTON PENINSULA ON RUN TOWARDS ZERO More than 2000 people are expected to take part in this year’s Arthurs Seat Challenge fun run where they will run towards a future free of deaths and serious injuries on our roads.

The annual event, held this year on Sunday 6 November, will promote road safety education for young people, raising money to support the Fit2Drive program.

In April, the Mornington Peninsula Shire announced it would become the state’s first Towards Zero municipality by implementing a range of road safety initiatives.

Transport Accident Commission chief executive officer Joe Calafiore congratulated the Mornington Peninsula community for its support of the state’s push towards a future where no person loses their life or is seriously hurt on the roads.

“Towards Zero is not just a campaign or a vision, it defines our approach to saving lives and we’re thrilled that the people of the Mornington Peninsula have embraced this positive approach to road safety,” Mr Calafiore said.

“We all have a role to play in reducing deaths and injuries on our roads and would love to see more councils and communities taking a leaf out of Mornington’s book and taking on that responsibility,” Mr Calafiore said.

Young drivers are a key focus of the Towards Zero approach, with road crashes continuing to be one of the leading causes of death for young people aged 18 to 25 years.

Mr Calafiore said from 2011 to 2015, on average 22 per cent of all drivers killed in Victoria were aged 18 to 25, despite the age group representing just 14 per cent of all Victorian licence holders.

NATHAN BARRY

“Our research shows that young drivers are more likely to take risks on the roads and this - combined with inexperience and the fact that they are often driving cars without the latest safety features - is a major reason for this over-representation.”

“Good driver behaviour is learnt from a young age which is why we have a number of road safety programs like Fit2Drive running in schools and regional areas,” Mr Calafiore said.

The Fit2Drive program delivers peer facilitated workshops with Year 11 students in secondary schools and community settings across the state.

The program focuses on providing young drivers and passengers with good decision-making capabilities for when they may be faced with difficult driving situations.

Since the introduction of the Graduated Licensing System, supported by road safety programs such as Fit2Drive, the number of young drivers killed on Victorian roads has been reduced by more than half.

The Arthurs Seat Challenge is an opportunity for schools, families and the community to rally together and raise awareness for the over-representation of young people in road crashes by running towards a future free of deaths and serious injuries on our roads.

You can learn more about Towards Zero by visiting www.towardszero.vic.gov.au or register for the Arthurs Seat Challenge at www.arthursseatchallenge.com.au Schools can book a Fit2Drive Workshop by visiting www.f2d.com.au

Sea to Summit Success in 2015 Last year’s race was one for breaking records, with more than 2000 participants taking part in the most successful Arthurs Seat Challenge to date.

The course of 6.7km started at the Rosebud Jetty and finished at the summit of Arthurs Seat at Seawinds Gardens. Event Ambassador and Commonwealth Games Marathon Runner, Sarah Klein, fired the starter’s gun as people of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels took off on the challenging course. Funds raised from the success of the 2014 event will provide even greater support to schools in meeting the cost of every Fit 2 Drive workshop held at all secondary schools on the Mornington Peninsula, Westernport and Frankston areas for the coming year.

The first runner over the line was Craig Appleby, our new record holder, glided across the line in 25 minutes and 15 seconds. Coming in second was Cameron Hall followed by Nathan Barry, who led the pack early in the race to snaffle third place.

Possum rescue delights

Possum tragic A SUCCESSFUL rescue effort to save a brush-tail possum in Chelsea Heights sparked a social media viral sensation and global online media coverage.

Pictures: Phil Wall, Chelsea SES

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE heart-warming rescue of a dangling brush-tail possum in Chelsea Heights on Sunday morning has gladdened hearts around the world.

The possum’s plight – and the good natured banding together of Amaroo Drive neighbours, the power company, and SES crew to save it – had been shared online by more than 14,500 viewers in the US, Spain, Germany, Italy, South America, the Philippines, and the UK, by Tuesday morning.

“It could be the possum that reunites Europe,” quipped Chelsea SES’s Phil Wall, who said he certainly “couldn’t stand by and watch an animal suffer like that”.

The female possum’s plight sparked a rescue call about 8.45am when neighbours saw it desperately hanging from a TV cable about four metres above ground and some distance from the power pole on the freezing morning.

“She couldn’t go up or down, but was using the cable as a sort of harness to support herself, and making the best of an obviously stressful situation,” Mr Wall said. “She was smart because she had worked out that if she lifted her back legs she could take the weight off herself.”

Unfortunately, her baby had fallen

Cnr Springvale Rd & Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights PH: 9773 4453 www.chelseaheightshotel.com.au

out of her pouch, and was discreetly removed.

“To see that poor thing hanging there and obviously stressing meant I just had to help,” Mr Wall said. “It was funny but the training just kicks in: I was walking around underneath saying, ‘You’ll be all right, don’t worry sweetheart’ – it just becomes second nature.

“She was looking at me and one of the neighbours said, ‘She’s listening to you’,” Mr Wall, who has two ringtail possums in his own garden, said his wife told him to take some banana to give to the stranded possum because she knew how much they liked eating them.

Everyone lent a hand: one neighbour called the power company, another came outside with a possum cage and another brought a sheet so, if necessary, the possum could be dropped into it.

Two power line workers in a cherry picker put the possum in the cage and snipped the cable. She was lowered to the ground and taken to a vet in a neighbour’s car. Later that day she was taken to Frankston Animal Emergency centre sore, tired and stressed – but safe.

She will be released back into the wild when fully recovered.

He laughed off callous suggestions made on a morning radio show that “a bullet would have been cheaper”.

“I am a volunteer so it was cheaper than a bullet – we all did it for free.”

Swish: The lobby at Kingston City Hall has been refurbished as part of a major renovation. Picture: Gary Sissons

Facelift brightens up City Hall KINGSTON City Hall has undergone a major refurbishment to ensure the iconic building continues to play host to the community and continue its role as an Arts venue.

Built in 1963, the hall has undergone a sympathetic renovation in keeping with its original “mid-century” retro style by design Architect Emilio Fuscaldo from Nest architects.

Timber has been used extensively in the foyer renovation and glass door panels on the northern wall connect the hall with the neighbouring Kingston Arts Centre.

The $600,000 project included: n foyer, box office and cafe upgrade n replacement of the passenger lift n improved access for people with disabilities n upgrades to heating and cooling.

Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said the renovations looked wonderful and the improvements made it a fitting addition to the Arts Precinct.

She said Kingston City Hall was a focal point for community events including concerts, dances, markets, school performances and graduation ceremonies.

“This wonderful refurbishment has not only made the hall more accessible, it has given new life to a grand old building that hosts thousands of visitors each year,” Cr Bearsley said.

The Hall houses a Wurlitzer theatre organ which is on the Victorian Heritage Register and is listed by the National Trust. It is used regularly for organ concerts.

Police patrol Road rage victim rammed

Annual visit: This humpback whale rising to the surface off Cape Woolamai, Phillip Island, was photographed by the Dolphin Research Institute which operates with a Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning research permit.

It’s no fluke, the whales are back WHALE sightings are being reported in Western Port and Port Phillip bays in what researchers say has become an annual event coinciding with the Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

The Dolphin Research Institute and the Two Bays Whale Project have been receiving reports of humpback and southern right whales in both bays.

“Humpback whales regularly visit Port Phillip and Western Port from June through to mid-August and again from late September to November,” DRI research officer Sue Mason said.

“The first reported sighting of a humpback whale usually comes into the institute around the Queen’s Birthday weekend, prompting DRI’s research staff to call the weekend Whale Weekend. These whales are on a detour as they migrate north along the east Australian coast. “ Ms Mason said humpbacks were easily identified by their dorsal fin and pectoral fins that are about one third of their body length.

“In contrast, southern right whales have smaller, square pectoral fins, lack a dorsal fin and have a rostrum, or nose,

covered with hard, lighter coloured skin patches called callosities.”

Ms Mason said recommended lookout sites for whales included Point Nepean, Mills Beach, Mornington, and the Nobbies and Cape Woolamai on Phillip Island.

“On the odd occasion, the Sorrento to Queenscliff ferry can become an impromptu whale watching vessel. For example, a southern right whale was seen off Portsea last Sunday evening from the ferry,” she said.

Last year, the Two Bays Whale Project, which records sightings from the Barwon Coast to Inverloch, received 87 validated sightings, including 80 humpbacks, four southern rights and three killer whales.

Whale sightings can be reported on the Dolphin Research Institute webpage www.dolphinresearch.org.au or be leaving a message on the Two Bays Whale Project Facebook page.

Boats must not approach to within less than 200 metres of a whale.

IN a savage road rage incident in Chelsea Heights a man was initially told the car in which he was a passenger had a flat tyre. When he got out to check, the offending driver reversed into him, trapping him between the two cars and injuring his legs.

Witnesses said a blue Nissan Pulsar with a male driver and female passenger pulled up next to the victim’s car, which was waiting to turn right from the Mornington Peninsula Freeway into Springvale Rd, 7.30pm, Friday 24 June.

After alerting the victim to the supposed flat tyre, the Nissan drove forward, then quickly backed into the man’s legs, with the driver swearing at and abusing him, before he drove off towards Springvale.

The victim managed to crawl back into his friend’s car while suffering grazing, bleeding, swelling and significant pain to his legs.

They followed the assailant’s car for four minutes before losing him, and then took the injured man to Dandenong hospital.

Kingston police urge anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Bandits hit TAB

PARKDALE TAB was held up by two men, one claiming to have a gun, 9.30pm, Thursday 23 June, and almost $16,000 stolen.

Their victim was bound with cable ties during the raid and threatened that the thieves knew his address, hinting that they would visit his house if he called police.

When locking up for the night the victim told police he saw a man wearing dark pants, dark hoodie, and with a blue scarf covering his face, waiting outside. The man lifted the hoodie showing the gun and demanded to be let in. Another man then appeared wearing a hi-vis jacket, hood, and Guy Fawkes mask.

The victim was told to turn off the alarm and open the safe, which has an internal safe with time delay function. One thief took $900 cash from the front safe, while the other offender bound the victim’s hands and feet and removed his wallet, containing his licence, name and address.

The thieves smashed phones inside the TAB while waiting for the safe timer to expire, and asked questions specific to the TAB, such as its busiest times and when the till was emptied.

After the delay period the bound man was forced to open the safe. The thieves took $15,000 and ran off.

The victim managed to cut himself free and contact his cousin on Facebook and set off the alarm.

Kingston police urge anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Club gear stolen

THIEVES stole audio equipment from the Galt Reserve clubrooms, Parkdale, between Sunday 19 June and Friday 25 June. The equipment is used by ground announcers on match days.

Anyone with information is urged to call Mordialloc police, 9588 2988.

‘Train pain’ for long-term gain FRANKSTON line commuters are being asked to be patient during a 37-day closure of part of the rail line to remove level crossings at Bentleigh, Ormond and McKinnon.

Passengers will have to hop on to buses supplied by Metro Trains between Caulfield and Moorabbin until works end on 31 July.

“These level crossings were among Victoria’s worst, with boom gates down for more than a third of the morning peak. Those boom gates are history and we’re getting on with removing more crossings,” Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said.

During the closure, 1000 construction workers will work around the clock, excavating more than 250,000 cubic metres – enough to fill the

MCG – to lower the train line by up to seven metres and remove the crossings.

The Stony Point line will also be closed down until 31 July since trains running along that line will be unable to travel to Melbourne for maintenance during the partial Frankson line shutdown.

Trains will return at the start of August, and new train stations at Ormond, McKinnon and Bentleigh will be opened to passengers over the month.

See levelcrossings.vic.gov.au for more information about the works, the project and service changes.

Sky rail an election Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au STATE political issues in Isaacs have dominated the lead up to this weekend’s federal election with Labor MP Mark Dreyfus hoping to see off a second challenge from Liberal hopeful Garry Spencer.

Cash has been splashed by both major political parties with sports clubs and community groups set to benefit but the spectre of sky rail has loomed large in Kingston.

Mr Dreyfus saw his margin cut from 10.4 per cent to 3.9 per cent at the 2013 federal election but he showed no signs of concern about his electoral chances on 2 July when The News visited his office to speak to him about the election subjects that matter to Isaacs voters.

He revealed Labor has conducted no internal polling in the seat.

National pollsters have focused on neighbouring Dunkley where Labor’s Peta Murphy is closing in on a potential upset win over Liberal candidate Chris Crewther after the political retirement of small business minister Bruce Billson.

Mr Dreyfus, Labor’s shadow attorney-general and spokesman for the arts admitted there has been “a certain amount of weariness” in the Isaacs electorate over a marathon eight-week election campaign triggered by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s double dissolution call but he believed voters will tune in as election day nears.

“I’ve never accepted that there’s apathy on the part of Australians,” he said.

“I think people care about their system of government, they care about how they’re governed and they certainly pay attention at the time they’re called on to cast their vote.”

The possibility of elevated rail, dubbed sky rail, along parts of the Frankston line has galvanised

community groups to voice disapproval about any rail over road solution to remove level crossings.

Mr Dreyfus is in the crosshairs of community anger despite the level crossings removal project being a Labor state government plan.

“I’ve been listening to the concerns expressed locally and I’ve been talking to state government ministers and (State Transport Minister) Jacinta Allan.

“I’ve been appalled at the lies and misinformation spread by the Liberal candidate who is actually showing himself as being unfit to be a member of Parliament by the ways he is spreading lies and misinformation.”

Mr Spencer, for his part, is enjoying a second crack at trying to unseat Mr Dreyfus in Isaacs having whittled down his margin in 2013.

“There was unfinished business. We got a swing of 6.5 per cent last. The job’s not over. I’m here to finish the job,” the long-time Mentone resident told The News.

Any prospect of elevated rail has clearly caused angst in the community, Mr Spencer said.

“The community does not want elevated rail of any description. The community wants the safer, less intrusive rail under road solution.

“Labor knows that. If Labor were going to do rail under road they would have said so months ago.

“Labor will watch results on polling booths along the rail line - key areas that determine state elections. If there’s a strong vote against Labor they’ll know they’ll lose the next State election if they don’t dump sky rail.

“Labor’s had the seat for 20 years, Mark Dreyfus has had it for nine. He’s never lived in the area. He’s out of touch and he’s a careerist with a great job in Canberra. He’s been the Attorney-General so he’s achieved his objective. He was parachuted in here over a very popular lady member. She was sacked to make a job for him.”

Mark Dreyfus

In 2007 Mr Dreyfus ousted sitting Labor Isaacs member Ann Corcoran thanks to Labor Party selection committee support.

Mr Dreyfus, a barrister appointed Queen’s Counsel, and one of 12 federal politicians nationwide who does not live within electorate boundaries, says voters will look at his record as an MP when casting their vote.

“I’d point to my record of service to this community. I have had no complaints about the level of service I’ve provided to, what is after all, a large part of south east Melbourne. It’s a big metropolitan electorate.

“I’d like to think I’ve represented every part of the electorate more than adequately.”

Mr Spencer, a defence force veteran of 20 years, says it is “time for a change”.

“Labor in Isaacs takes the people for granted. I would encourage people to make their vote work for them the way their Member in Parliament

should be working for them.”

Mr Dreyfus nominates health and education as the issues high on voters’ minds.

“People are very conscious that our local schools’ funding, if the Coalition continues in government, is going to be cut.”

The examples of Parkdale Secondary will losing more than $1 million in funding, Mordialloc Secondary missing out on $500,000 and Mentone Girls Secondary facing a $1 million funding shortfall under a re-elected Coalition government are mentioned by Mr Dreyfus.

Primary schools will also lose out according to the MP. “About $37 billion is being cut from the education budget by this government,” Mr Dreyfus said.

As for health, he says people are concerned about rising medical bills.

He says the continued Medicare rebate freeze on indexation “is a GP tax by stealth”.

“It will certainly mean a decrease in the number of clinics and doctors offering bulk billing and will lead to charges. Doctors cannot continue to absorb a reduction of their income for this length of time.

The AMA [Australian Medical Asssociation] has been talking about this for many years.”

“Bulk billing is a key part of our universal health care scheme. There is no confidence that the Coalition has the best interests of Medicare at heart.

“Labor will end the freeze on indexation.”

Mr Spencer accused Labor of running “a scare campaign” on Medicare.

“We’ve had the Prime Minister come out and make very definitive statements about not touching Medicare. In fact, we’re putting $4 billion into Medicare over the next four years. Labor persists in this lunacy … of making it one of their key flagflying issues.”

He did concede some voters “may be” spooked

interfere if there’s some particular reason that you need to and there’s no indication that they’re being inefficiently run at the moment. They’ve made the decision, we’re behind them.”

Both candidates stick to their parties’ respective scripts but Mr Spencer offers a personal take on weekend penalty rates, a topic Labor has also campaigned hard on.

He believes Sunday penalty rates should be brought into line with Saturday rates to help businesses open on Sundays and boost employment.

He notes the Fair Work Commission determines penalty rate levels but recalls a time when his daughter worked part-time at Kmart for many years while studying at university and “relied” on penalty rates to get by.

“From a personal point of view I can see how so many people do rely on the penalty rates but on the other hand a lot of businesses now close down on

the weekends,” Mr Spencer said.

“They can’t afford the penalty rates so there are a lot of kids missing out on a job. There is a balance between opening up the employment market, too many young people particularly but people of all ages, but the high penalty rates keep people out of the market and that seems unfair to me.

“We want to get as many people working as we can. If they’re not working the nation may have to support them.”

Climate change, “the greatest moral challenge of our time” by former Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd, has been raised by voters but Mr Spencer says it is not “a hot topic”.

Mr Dreyfus also said younger people tend to mention it more often but there is an undercurrent of people worried about the world left for future generations.

“The Liberal Party has some good plans to manage the transition of energy sources. There is nothing to replace coal-fired power stations as a base load and any claim to the contrary is wishful thinking at best,” Mr Spencer said.

In making a final pitch for voters Mr Spencer pointed to his Army career as a base for his commitment to public service.

“Give me a chance to show you what I can do.

I’ve got a well-established track record in serving the community, in serving the nation. It’s been the driving ethos the whole of my life.”

Incumbent Mr Dreyfus believes the nation faces a better future under Labor.

“The people of Isaacs should be voting Labor to make a choice for better schools, better health services and policies that will actually lead to jobs in our area.”

The Greens candidate Alex Breskin and Animal Justice Party’s Elizabeth Johnston are also contesting the seat of Isaacs.

by former prime minister Tony Abbott’s “no cuts to education, no cuts to health, no change to pensions, no change to the GST and no cuts to the ABC or SBS” pledge on the eve of the 2013 election.

Former Liberal Treasurer Joe Hockey then effectively brought in funding cuts to health education and the ABC in his poorly-regarded 2014 federal budget.

Mr Dreyfus and Mr Spencer are also at odds over the imminent likely closure of Aspendale climate science laboratories by the CSIRO. “For us locally, the CSIRO in Aspendale is the only significant Commonwealth government institute in the electorate so I’ve always been very conscious of it,” Mr Dreyfus said.

“It occupies a unique place in Australian science and I’d argue, together with its sister organisation in Hobart as part of the Marine and Atmospheric Division, it occupies a unique place in climate science in the world as reflected by it [the cuts] made The New York Times twice in month including once on the front page … shows there is global concern about cuts to the CSIRO. “There is no other country doing such scientific work in the southern hemisphere and we will be seeking to make sure those cuts don’t go forward if we’re elected.”

Mr Dreyfus says the national science body makes operational decisions at arms-length from government.

“The CSIRO is a government organisation but it wholly manages itself. It’s got a budget, it’s got a management structure. They manage themselves and make the decisions on where to place their money and what type of knowledge to get in, what type of technology they need to move on from and what their priorities are.

Bay beaches face diminishing returns Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au AN eroding coastline has experts and residents calling for urgent action to protect the Mornington Peninsula’s beaches and avert a costly drainage disaster.

While coastal erosion has long been a problem on the peninsula and millions of dollars being spent on mitigation works including sea walls and groynes, recent storm damage has heightened concern that not enough is being done.

Port Phillip Baykeeper Neil Blake has compelling data that suggests the increases in tide heights are substantially greater than predicted by a consultants' reports prepared for the Port of Melbourne Corporation before the 2008-2009 channel dredging work.

He has created a simple method of recording and mapping beach profiles and water levels, and has evidence of significant erosion at Point Nepean over the past five years.

While it is recognised that beaches constantly undergo seasonal sand variations, Mr Blake says the “prevailing” view that beach sand lost along the peninsula will eventually return has resulted in the real threat being ignored.

He warns that mitigation works such as sea walls and groynes will be needed along the entire peninsula coastline, as street drainage struggles to keep up with increasing water inundation.

“The state government has already acknowledged that sea levels will

Losing battle: Environmentalists are calling for immediate action to save the Mornington Peninsula’s eroding beaches.

rise by 800 millimetres by the end of the century, so councils and governments need to be acting now in terms of what we do with our coastline and how we develop it so not to exacerbate the problems.”

Mr Blake, who is about to begin studies at Rye and McCrae, said councils had to do more to reduce flood risks for communities along the coast. “[The City of] Port Philip has spent thousands and has recently prepared a report on the flood risk likely to occur because of rising levels in the Elwood canal – councils have to be taking action now.”

Paul Millsom has been walking the McCrae beaches as a holiday maker, and now retiree, for 73 years, and says recent changes to the shoreline since dredging have been “mind-blowing”.

“We had a storm in September with lots of strong northerlies that left a completely flat beach with water up to the grasses and now the waves that are hitting the shoreline are causing significant damage and there's no protection.” he said.

“If a storm like that happened again, I don't know what we would be left with. The authorities have to stop ignoring it.”

A report released by Western Port

Greenhouse Alliance in June 2008 warned of rising sea levels, coastal erosion and flooding as impacts of climate change. It noted that beaches likely to be most affected included West Rosebud, Dromana, Shore¬ham, Frankston, Balnarring and Safety Beach.

Mr Millsom said he would like to see further investigation done into erosion in McCrae and along other parts of the peninsula.

Environmentalist Jenny Warfe echoed Mr Millsom's concern for the coast. Ms Warfe, who headed environmental group Blue Wedges' challenge to channel deepening in 2008, said

north winds and high seas, combined with changes brought on by dredging, was causing inevitable changes to the beaches.

“A major point I made during our campaign against the channel dredging project was that it would increase water levels in the bay (and) even the Port of Melbourne Corporation and state government conceded there would be a small increase in tide heights,” she said.

“The additional water in the bay since dredging also adds to the weight of water hitting the coast during storms. When an incoming tide and a storm event coincide you have a perfect conditions for coastal erosion.”

Ms Warfe said it was recognised by scientific studies that increased sea levels from channel deepening, combined with global warming, produced unpredictable coastal changes.

“We argued it would be irresponsible for government to add to the already known risks of global warming induced sea-level rise, exposing the coast to greater erosion risks and exposing taxpayers and ratepayers to ongoing costs of shoring up the coastline - Portsea being the most compelling example of post dredging confluence of impacts.

“Now we have to live with the consequences.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s communications and media manager Mark Kestigian said the council was not aware of recent erosion at McCrae.

He said the shire's role was to manage risk with appropriate reporting, signs and fencing.

Body found in car A MAN’S body was found in a stolen car on Thompsons Rd, Carrum Downs, Wednesday 22 June.

Police and detectives attended the scene near the Frankston-Dandenong Rd intersection.

Frankston SES lit up the area and put a tarpaulin around the Mazda sedan.

Detective Ash Eames, of Frankston CIU, said the 26-year-old Aspendale man was slumped

in the driver’s seat. Passers-by had noticed the stationary car and called police.

It is known known how the man died. Detective Eames said a quantity of the drug ice was found in a cigarette packet and amount of cash found in the man’s pockets.

He said the death did not appear suspicious.

Same time, same place

TWO nearby houses in Patterson Lakes were burgled on the same night at the same time but nothing appears to have been stolen.

The gated community houses in Pier One Drive had rear sliding doors forced, overnight, Saturday 26 June, and their front doors propped open with bricks to keep them ajar, possibly as escape routes.

In both cases, sleeping occupants upstairs did not hear the burglars, who opened cupboards and draws, and displaced items in rear patios, but who appear to have left before stealing anything. An esky was stolen from a neighbour.

The houses have a communal driveway to a nearby hotel and back onto Patterson river.

Anyone with information is urged to call Chelsea police, 8773 3200.

Thieves raided an Aspendale Gardens restaurant late Sunday night but stole only $200 in staff tips. After the cleaner knocked off for the night the thieves forced their way into Michelangelo’s restaurant using a crow bar, then ripped a cash register from the wall. This was empty but a cash tin containing the tips was taken. CCTV footage shows one offender wearing dark clothing with a hood over his head, and the other wearing tan pants, white shoes, dark jumper with white hood over his head. Both wore gloves. There are no images of their faces.

Midnight assault, robbery

A TEENAGE boy walking home through the car park of Lakeview shopping centre, Patterson Lakes, midnight, Thursday 23 June, was pushed into a corner, assaulted and robbed by two men who demanded, “Give me your stuff”.

When the 17-year-old, of Carrum, refused to comply he was punched in the head until he handed over a bag containing his learner’s permit, myki card and some cash. The offenders walked off towards Gladesville Blvd, while the victim walked home nursing a black

Unwelcome visitor

A MORDIALLOC resident arrived home to find a man standing outside his front door inside his high brick fence and locked front gate, 3.30pm, Friday 24 June.

The man told the Albert St resident that he had seen two men inside his two-storey unit, which is one of three on the block.

The resident ran upstairs to find two bedrooms and a study ransacked but no one else there. When he ran downstairs the man had run off with his laptop, some diabetic medication, iPod and other items.

The resident chased the man along Chute St, where he dropped the items and then ran off along Governor Rd. The man is described as Caucasian, aged 35, 180cm, short auburn hair, gold or silver teeth, wearing a long black jacket, black pants and white runners. He appeared to have a discoloured ear from an earring.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Diptheria claims 11 year old child Compiled by Melissa Walsh A PAINFULLY sudden death occurred on Monday morning to a little girl, eleven years of age, the daughter of Mr and Mrs Olding, of Carnegie.

It appears that, in company with her younger sister, she was spending a holiday at Flinders and on Saturday morning last complained of a sore throat and not feeling well. She gradually got worse and on Monday morning a motor was procured and a start was made for home.

On arriving at Bittern it was discovered that the child was dead..

The remains were then brought on to Frankston, and on Tuesday morning Dr Maxwell held a postmortem examination, and discovered that the cause of death was diphtheria.

The remains were interred in the Frankston cemetery on Wednesday afternoon. Much sympathy was expressed for the bereaved parents. *** A MEETING of the Committee of the “ Frankston Mechanics’ Allies Fair” will be held in the hall on Tuesday next, at 3 o’clock, when a full attendance is requested. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will have a good yarding of general stock to offer to intending buyers. *** THE hon. sec. of the Frankston Branch of the Red Cross Society makes an appeal in our advertising

PAGE 16

columns for donations of old linen for the French Red Cross, and notifies that the same will be received at the Mechanics’ Hall, from 10 a.m. on the 6th July. *** A FOOTBALL match will be played this afternoon on the Frankston oval between a Naval Base team and the locals. The Langwarrin Brass Band will play during the afternoon. A collection will be taken up in aid of the Red Cross funds. *** DEPOSITORS in the State Savings Bank are reminded by advertisement that the Inspector (Mr J. Corbet), will be in attendance at the Bank on Wednesday, 5th July, for the annual inspection of pass-books. It is particularly desired that depositors should produce their pass books at this time. *** AT the Somerville meeting on Monday night it was decided that the League forward £8 3s. to the French Red Cross to help assist it in its valuable work. This energetic branch has forwarded now to the various funds over £20 in cash, besides the vast number of articles provided by the ladies and sent on to the Lady Mayoress’s League. *** AFTER 37 years’ service in the Railway Department, Mr Mark Williams retired on the 20th of this month, and intends now to take a well earned rest. Mr Williams was well known on this line having been engine driver between Melbourne and

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 29 June 2016

Frankston since 1903 and earned the respect and trust of his employers and the travelling public. *** THE young student, Sidney J. Doewra, of “Heath Vale” Somerville, has been very successful in his examinations and has gained his certificate for electrical engineering, from “Scotts College” Melbourne, *** GENERAL regret was expressed in Frankston when it was known that Guard Phil O’Grady had been transferred from this station to Mornington. Mr O’Grady has been resident here for the last three and a half years, and during that time he has become a universal favorite, both with his fellow employees and the general public, by his unvarying courtesy and kindness of manner. Guard Walsh, from Maryborough, has been appointed to the vacant position. *** THE following letter of thanks was received by Miss Chrisp, Hon. Sec. Mount Eliza Red Cross Society from Philadelphia N. Robertson, secretary, Australian Branch, British Red Cross Society.

At the last meeting of our Central Depot Committee, a report was submitted to them of a series of motor outings provided for the returned N.S.W. and Queensland soldiers from the “Themistocles” while she was in port here. From this, and also from one of the members of the Committee, it was learned that the Frankston and Mt Eliza Red Cross branches had

extended very generous hospitality to the men on the occasion of their visit to this district.

The Committee ask me to convey to you and to the ladies of your district who took part in entertaining the large party of men, their cordial thanks. The men very much appreciated your kindness and thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Frankston. *** A MEETING of the “Wattles” Club Committee was held on Friday evening to make arrangements for entertaining returned wounded soldiers on July 8th, and to discuss other Club matters. Being the anniversary of the Club in July it was decided to celebrate the occasion by holding a plain and fancy dress ball on the 12th of that month.

It was also decided to donate £3 3s to the Frankston District Memorial Fund, for which a letter of thanks has been received from Mr C. P. Watson, hon. secretary of the Fund. *** LETTERS from the Front. The following letter has been received by the mother of the late Corporal H. J. Schmidt, a former resident of the Tyabb district, who was killed while in action at Gallipoli:— Gallipoli, August 16th, 1915. Mrs W.G. Fish, 70 Woodstock, St, Canning Town, London.

Dear Mrs Fish, —You will have heard by this of the sad fate of your son, 1047, Corporal Henry John Schmidt, who was killed in action on August 7th. After reaching a position

by a night advance the battalion took up the point and dug in on the morning of that date. The enemy who were holding a ridge opposite were firing on our men, and Corpl. Schmidt was unfortunately hit by a bullet which passed through his body.

He was very cheery and we thought he might pull through, but shortly afterwards he became unconscious, and death ensued very speedily. He was such a bright cheery fellow, and a general favorite and we all miss him very much.

To you and to his friends we tender our sincerest sympathy for the sorrow which has befallen you. He died a true soldier’s death and was buried with an officer and another comrade near the place where he fell.

In his pocket book or purse I found the sum of 7s 6d and as we have a regimental fund with an account in London. I send you a cheque for this amount, with the request that you will send me a receipt.

We are all proud of the part our Australian forces have taken in this campaign, and while we are hoping that it will soon be over, we look for an ending which will be of the greatest help to the Empire for her strength. With sincere sympathy, yours very truly, ANDREW GARRISON, Captain, Chaplain, 14th Battalion, A.I.F. Gallipoli. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 July, 1916

Pythons move on up to second PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt PINES moved to outright second on the Peninsula Division ladder with a strong performance against Mt Eliza at Wooralla Drive on Saturday.

Despite the Redlegs opening up a 25-point break on the Pythons in the second quarter, the visitors were able to boot nine goals to four in the second hour to win 12.13 (85) to 10.9 (69).

It was a great performance from the Pythons, who tweaked some things during the major break that ultimately turned the game around.

James Freeman got hold of Pines in the opening half but coach Patty Swayne shifted ruckman Beau Hendry on to him in the second half.

Hendry was able to nullify Freeman while Tom Bongetti went into the ruck and started to dominate in that area of the ground.

Luke Potts also dominated and was clearly the best player on the ground, while Jack Fisher held Justin Van

PAGE 18

Unen to just three goals. Fisher has conceded just 15 goals to key forwards this season.

Swayne said it was a “very good” win.

“We lost Luke Houldcroft early in the match with a shoulder and were down a rotation,” Swayne said.

“We also lost Shane Waterstone for half the match too. He got a wayward boot in the face which punctured two holes above his top lip and below his bottom lip. He went off and got stitched up and then he went straight back onto the ground when he arrived back in the third quarter. He was sensational holding onto the likes of Rohan Heasley and Ben Landry.

“Even when they were up by four goals, I felt we were still in the game.

“We had to make a contest of it.

They were hurting us on the outside and we need to get the ball in tight.

From here, the likes of Paul Scanlon, Chris Guganovic and Potts went to work.

“We just had to wear them down

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 29 June 2016

and I think the second half scoreboard shows that we did exactly that.

“Potts was sensational. He didn’t have a brilliant pre-season and he carried an injury in the first month or so of the season. He’s up and going now and is in really good form,” Swayne said.

Chelsea’s competitive start to the season is clearly a thing of the past after they were smashed by Mornington, 21.11 (137) to 8.7 (55).

The Dogs booted nine goals to one in the first quarter and led by 10 goals at half time.

Jackson Calder dominated with six and Michael Williams finished with five. Warwick Miller was sublime.

Langwarrin booted four unanswered goals in the last quarter to run over the top of Karingal by just three points.

Nick Tuddenham played arguably his best game for the Kangas with three goals in a best on ground performance. Gerard Brown back into the team after injury was also a wel-

come addition. Sean Herdman and Kieran Albanese are critical forwards for the Kangas and neither played on the weekend, making the win even more impressive.

Michael Burke and Tommy Wilkinson were the best of the Bulls, while teenager Brad Occipinti booted four majors.

In the final game, Frankston YCW easily accounted for Seaford 14.9 (93) to 3.15 (33).

Anthony Bruhn booted five while Tom Capp was outstanding in his sixth game.

Brad Doyle and Dean Kemble were the best of the Tigers.

Jake Lovett (two games), Josh Butland (two games), Luke Paynter (two games), Jason Cheverly (two games), Jake Di Pasqale (four games) and Daniel Hughes (three games) were just a sprinkling of the junior talent that ran around with the Stonecats on Saturday.

Sharks back in hunt, Eagles still down on form

By Toe Punt SORRENTO got back on the winner’s list on Saturday, knocking over the in-form Frankston Bombers in epic fashion.

The Sharks had lost their previous two games at home to Rye and Devon Meadows but with some returning players and a tweak in game style, the home side was able to take the Bombers down a peg.

The Sharks had nine scoring shots to two in the opening term and never looked in danger, winning 15.11 (101) to 7.15 (57).

With Scott Lockwood back in the team and joining Nick Corp in the forward 50 metre arc, the Sharks worked on moving the ball quickly into the attacking zone and isolate the Bombers’ defenders.

It worked a treat, Corp booted five and Lockwood four while Ryan Potter completely shut down Bombers’ new recruit Luke James.

Sorrento coach Nick Jewell said his side was ‘excellent’.

“We worked on a few things and the

boys were on from the first bounce,” Jewell said.

“You could sense the effort from our boys out on the field and Lockwood coming back into the team really straightened us up.

“We wanted to move the ball a lot quicker than we have been and give Lockwood and Corp an opportunity to get some good footy.

“The kids were sensational again also.

“Jack Gipp, who is a champion boxer, played his first game for us after four best-ons in the Under 19s and he looked at home at senior level.

“James Brigden was able to get the job done on Zac Longham too. James would have to be the best full back in the competition right now,” Jewell said.

Despite the dominant performance, the game went within three minutes of being called off.

Joel Boase, in his third senior game, and the best mate of Gipp, dislocated his ankle and broke his fibula.

An ambulance was called and Boase was taken from the field after 27 minutes. The game would have been called

Sudoku and crossword solutions

off had it taken another three minutes.

Jewell said Boase had surgery on Sunday and will miss the rest of the season.

It was a good return of form for the Sharks, who had been looking vulnerable.

“Look, we are a very different side to the one that played last season. There’s nine new faces from the Preliminary Final team of last season,” Jewell said.

“The past is the past and we want this new group to create their own dynasty,” he said.

Somerville went down to Rosebud for the eighth consecutive time on Saturday and lost their place in the top five.

The Eagles are in terrible form and when a side is losing, rumours tend to start.

Eagles’ coach David Hirst was quick, as always, to get on the front foot and defend his club.

“There’s plenty going around at the moment but the truth of the matter is that we are in poor form and our good players aren’t getting hold of the footy,” Hirst said.

“We have 14 injuries, our depth isn’t

what it used to be, we’ve had some personal club losses and to be frank, we’re a bit fragile right now.

“It can be turned around though.

There’s no doubt that it’s 100 per cent between the ears with us. The talent is there. We just collectively need to start getting our hands on the footy.”

Hirst said the rumours regarding Scott Simpson heading to Western Australia were true.

“Simmo will be with us for the rest of the season though, so him wanting to leave before clearances close isn’t true.

“There’s also no other players who want out before clearances close. There were no punch ons at the club like rumours have suggested and there were no big meetings either.

“We just need to bounce back and I’m sure we will do that,” Hirst said.

Rosebud beat Somerville by seven goals, 14.13 (97) to 7.10 (52).

Ben Dwyer was sensational in the ruck and the difference between the sides, while benny Shultz played his best game for a number of years.

In other matches, Rye stormed home to beat Tyabb by 36 points. Matt Greig is out for four or five weeks with a

knee injury but Dean Millhouse and Nathan Henley each kicked bags in his absence.

Red Hill beat Devon Meadows in another tight contest, winning by a goal, Dromana held off Crib Point to win by 16 points and Hastings went a game clear at the top of the ladder with a seven goal win against Pearcedale.
