Trio triumph

EDITHVALE Life Saving Club is bringing the world to bayside beaches. Tenzin-Cheosang from Tibet, left, Elaha Naziri from Afghanistan and Tsering-Kyi from Tibet are the latest recruits to complete a Life Saving Victoria multicultural water safety program and become lifesavers. Elaha is the first female Afghan living in Victoria to become a lifesaver and the Tibetan duo’s achievement in making the lifesaving grade is also a state first. See story Page 7.

Sky rail dissent rises Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ELEVATED rail along the Frankston line is shaping up as a political minefield for the Labor state government early in its first term in power. Community groups are marshalling opposition to any suggestion socalled sky rail could be built along the Frankston line, as part of the Andrews government’s commitment to removing level crossings, in the wake of the decision to install elevated rail along

sections of the Cranbourne-Pakenham railway line. More than 150 people packed into a meeting at Edithvale Life Saving Club on Sunday (28 February) organised by the ‘No Sky Rail: Frankston Line’ group to voice community concerns about the prospect of elevated rail in bayside suburbs. Residents who live near the rail line are angered that a nine-metre high elevated rail line from Mordialloc to Frankston could be on the cards since this was never mentioned before the

2014 state election. No Sky Rail: Frankston Line group spokesman Willem Popp said the group is troubled by the state government’s sudden announcement of elevated rail for sections of the Cranbourne-Pakenham line and fears that the Frankston line is next for sky rail. “I don’t think it’ll be as attractive and beautiful as the brochures and publicity,” Mr Popp said. “I think it’ll turn into an eyesore in time and I think it’ll just be a concrete railway bridge.”

First term Labor MPs in the marginal seats of Mordialloc, Carrum and Frankston are feeling political heat in the wake of community protests elsewhere over a lack of consultation after the government announced sky rail on the Cranbourne-Pakenham line earlier this month. Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson is understood to have told Premier Daniel Andrews in a Labor Party caucus meeting that sky rail could cost Labor the seat of Mordialloc at the next state election. When contacted by The News Mr

Richardson said he won’t comment on private discussions within caucus but he was comfortable making residents’ views known on elevated rail. “I will always represent the interests of my community and I want everyone to have the opportunity to be involved in shaping the level crossings removals to significantly ease congestion in our local area,” Mr Richardson said. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny and Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke did not respond to questions about the consultation process. Continued Page 6

Race on to change a family’s life A SURVEY conducted last year by the Australian Bureau of Statistics found 63.4 per cent of adults overweight or obese. That’s 11.2 million people. The prevalence of overweight and obese people is rising: in 2011-12 the figure was 62.8 per cent, and in 1995 it was 56.3 per cent. Around one in four (27.4 per cent) of children aged 5-17 are overweight or obese, which is slightly more than 2011-12’s 25.7 per cent. Holistic health coach Maddie Race, of Patterson Lakes, said the statistics were frightening – and that she was not prepared to allow them to keep increasing. Now she is “on a mission” to inspire families to eat healthy foods, cook more at home using wholefoods and fresh seasonal produce, and to eliminate processed sugary foods from their diet. “I want to transform families to be the healthiest and happiest that they can be,” she said. “This is why I am offering a health scholarship valued at more than $2500 to one lucky family.” The scholarship is open to all Bayside families. “The scholarship will be awarded to a worthy family who could do with a holistic health overhaul,” she said. The program will include: n Fortnightly one-hour health coaching sessions with the family n Instructions on setting and accomplishing family goals n Understanding what foods are right for each family member, and n Family cooking workshops, shopping tips, trying new foods and

understanding food labels, plus more. The health scholarship will form part of a case study, which will benefit the community. “The sharing of such a personal journey will hopefully inspire other families take control of their lives, and adapt a healthier lifestyle,” Ms Race said. Applications for the scholarship are open to families with no more than two children aged over 10. They will share their story with Ms Race who will then interview three families before choosing a winner. Applications close Friday 25 March. Email applications to health@maddierace.com.au

KINGSTON Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged a man following two burglaries a month apart at the same Highett house. It is alleged a 31-year-old Rosebud West man burgled the View St property, Tuesday 19 January, and again late last month. He was arrested on Wednesday and charged with theft and burglary offences. Leading Senior Constable Adam West said the man was remanded to appear at the Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court, Thursday 24 March.

SES golf day to the fore THE 4th annual Chelsea SES Golf Day was held on Sunday (28 February) at the Edithvale Public Golf Course, all thanks to the Australasian Golf Club. Channel TEN’s Neighbours stars, Alan Fletcher (Dr Karl) and Stefan Dennis (Paul Robinson) were on hand to join in the fun and support the volunteers at the Chelsea Unit. Longest drives, and nearest the pin competitions added to the fun and a perfect day weather wise saw the golfers all having a great day. The barbeque was kept busy with breakfast and lunch cooked to perfection by our Chelsea SES master chefs and the golf

club supplied enough liquid refreshments at the 19th hole to keep everyone happy. Chelsea volunteers were very happy as this was the first time in three years that crews had not been on call outs for most of the prior Saturday night, coming straight to the course for the start of the day. All in all it was another fantastic day with everyone looking forward to a bigger and brighter fifth anniversary next year. Good neighbours: Alan Fletcher, above, is snookered during a round of golf with Stefan Dennis, right, to raise money for the Chelsea SES.

Centre honours former principal CORNISH College founding principal Kerry Bolger had the honour of opening a building named in his honour, Friday. Mr Bolger retired at the end of last year and the students were said to be looking forward to welcoming him back to celebrate the opening. The Kerry Bolger Centre houses years 4, 5 and 6 students, with two classrooms per year level, as well as breakout spaces. It was dedicated by The Reverend Dr Robert Johnson, chair of the Cornish College Council. The centre is part of a broader building program at the Bangholme school. These include new science classrooms, library, and reception and administration areas. The Parents’ Association replaced ovens in the home economics room. Future developments will include a

River bridge works begin KINGSTON Council will begin major works this month on a $750,000 to upgrade the Wells Rd Bridge over Patterson River. The project includes strengthening of the substructure underneath the bridge, repainting of corrosion protection, resealing of the road, new line markings, routine repairs and a new set of crash barriers may also be installed if found to be necessary. Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said the project was part of council’s $12million infrastructure capital works program to maintain and upgrade vital community infrastructure. “The Wells Rd Bridge provides a vital transport route over the Patterson River and this project will ensure this vital piece of infrastructure continues to serve the community for decades to come,” Cr Bearsley said. Council city assets and environment general manager Daniel Freer said as part of the works, the load limit signage for the bridge will also

be amended to more accurately reflect the bridge’s capacity. “In preparations for the works, council officers researched the history of the bridge and found that it had been historically designated a 6 tonne capacity bridge by the former Country Roads Board,” Mr Freer said. “The bridge can in fact safely accommodate much greater loads and council will update the signage to a 24 tonne load limit. This will allow buses and council’s waste collection trucks to use the bridge but will still prohibit large semi-trailers from using the area.” The first stage of the bridge upgrade works are expected to begin in early March and will take several weeks. Traffic across the bridge will not be impacted during this stage. The second stage of works, including the new road surface and line markings, is expected to take place later in the year and will include some traffic disruptions.

FILM buffs young and old are invited to join an innovative film project to build positive links across the generations. Kingston residents aged from 14 right through to their 90s can take part in the 5th annual Kingston Intergenerational Project bringing young people and seniors together with a professional filmmaker to capture unique stories on film. Participants will develop skills in digital technology, filmmaking and story collecting, attend free workshops on writing screen plays, cast-

ing, directing, sound recording, editing and more. Workshops are in April and May on alternating Monday and Tuesday afternoons at Kingston Youth Services office at Southland. A series of short films will be created during the project and screened at the Shirley Burke Theatre in Parkdale on 17 October 2016. See kingston.vic.gov.au/intergenerational or call Kingston Youth Services on 1300 369 436 for more details. Applications close Thursday 10 March.

Councillors face renewed scrutiny Grab a starring films role NEW laws introduced by the Labor state government to strengthen council governance and crack down on councillors doing the wrong thing are now in force. Under amendments to the Local Government Act passed last year, councils now have greater authority to deal with councillor misconduct internally – including improved procedures to address alleged code of conduct breaches. The changes provide a clear process for dealing with misconduct and empower councils and the Minister for Local Government to take action

against councillors doing the wrong thing. Allegations of misconduct and serious misconduct will be dealt with by independent Councillor Conduct Panels, which will have the power to suspend councillors for up to six months. “The majority of councillors do the right thing, but in the rare cases when one bad apple does the wrong thing it is important that we have quick and robust processes in place to deal with misconduct,” Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins said. In extreme cases of poor behaviour, the Minister can now also recommend

a councillor be stood down if the councillor has been accused of serious or gross misconduct and a panel or VCAT hearing is pending, the councillor’s behaviour represents a threat to health and safety, is preventing council from performing its functions, or is inconsistent with the role of councillor or a municipal monitor recommends the Minister stand the councillor down. Councillors still have a right of appeal to VCAT but can no longer bypass Councillor Conduct Panels and have hearings moved to VCAT, before a final decision is made.

KITE FESTIVAL ROSEBUD FORESHORE JETTY ROAD SUN 13TH MARCH 2016

SUNDAY 11am-5pm As Victoria’s largest kite flying event, this free family festival attracts an internationally acclaimed line up of professional kite makers and wind artists. Guest kite makers from interstate Australia and New Zealand will be gracing the skies with their giant maxi kites, colourful land-based wind art and unique delta kite creations. Novice kite flyers, family kite makers and spectators are invited to join in on the fun and celebrate ‘the art of the kite’. The kite flying displays are matched by an exciting program of family entertainment: kids activities, kite making workshops, carnival rides, circus workshops, roving performers, live music on stage, heaps of food stalls and more! The impressively large Maxi Kites are floating 3D creations that can be seen from miles away and measure up to twenty meters or more in length. Requiring skillful handling and a clever aerodynamic design, it is no simple feat to keep these giants of the kite world flying high. In past festivals we have seen these kites include schools of fish, dogs, cats, whales, stingrays and octopi. The overall effect can be beautiful: an ephemeral scene of creatures floating deep in the sky and dancing in the air above Port Phillip Bay. So put the date in your diary and visit Rosebud foreshore during the Labour Day weekend in March. Meet the professional Kite Makers informally on Saturday March 12th from 10am - 1pm as they preview their 2016 creations, while the festival’s main event is on Sunday 13th March from 11am-5pm.

In line for protests? Community groups are gathering to voice opposition to any sky rail plan for sections of the Frankston line. Picture: Gary Sissons

Sky rail concerns gather steam Continued from Page 1 Another community group, the Carrum and Patterson Lakes Forum group, will hand over a petition against sky rail to Ms Kilkenny this month. The online petition at change.org has more than 450 signatures to date. Group spokesman Cameron Howe said the community group speaks to councillors and politicians about local issues as they arise and sky rail has become a concern. “From what I can tell the Level Crossing Removal Authority’s process hasn’t been too transparent so far,” Mr Howe said. “There is great concern within the community that the authority perhaps doesn’t have the most suitable process. “Residents are genuinely fearful that their interests aren’t going to be taken into consideration.” Liberal opposition leader Matthew Guy has seized the opportunity to raise the pressure on Labor over the possibility of elevated rail along the Frankston line, visiting Edithvale train station

last month to say sky rail “would be devastating” for the bayside suburbs, amid concerns about increased noise from elevated trains and the amenity of suburbs, especially for residents near the rail line (‘Sky rail ‘must be dropped’’, The News 24/2/16). Kingston councillors debated whether to oppose elevated rail at the year’s first public council meeting last month but opted to write to Premier Daniel Andrews and Transport Minister Jacinta Allan to ask that community feedback be taken into consideration. Mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley attended the No Sky Rail Frankston Line meeting on Sunday at Edithvale and said council will lobby the state government to ensure proper consultation is carried out. The Level Crossing Removal Authority is hosting a series of interactive community sessions in March about plans to separate road from rail at eleven level crossings along the Frankston line.

ASPENDALE Primary School pupils gained an insight into paper art from Chinese master Jie Zhang, his wife Ying Wang, and Chinese artist Ning Cui, when they visited Melbourne as part of Chinese New Year celebrations last month. The artists were invited by principal Phil Anthony to demonstrate their special talents. Pupils in Class 6B were shown the art of paper cutting by Ning Cui, who has won many awards in Chinese and international art competitions. Her paper artworks are collected by admirers from around the world. They include detailed portraits of famous people, as well as more traditional Chinese-style art. The pupils were taught how to fold and then cut paper to create Chinese characters which symbolise good luck and are often displayed on special occasions. “This exercise was fitting considering it was the first day of the Chinese New Year, organiser Ms Wu said. “The pupils had a great time learning from a master of paper cutting and were all pleased with their results, many taking them home to show their families.” Afterwards, gifts were exchanged, with the

Chinese artists receiving school brochures as mementoes of Australia. “More and more emigrant families are coming to Australia,” Ning Cui said. “Choosing a good school and educating their children is a top priority. Understanding how to keep their own national culture alive while assimilating into Australian cultural life is important for their future.” Ning Cui – who has a child at school in China – said she was confident both countries will blend educationally. “In China, students are challenged by heavy homework every day and can become unhappy. They lose their enthusiasm at that age, but here in Australia, I see happy smiles everywhere. They are eager to study in Australian schools. “I am so happy to see the Mandarin course introduced into an Australian primary school. That means Australia is a real multicultural country.” Australian-Chinese Cultural Association of Trade Exchange president Heyi Chen said: “As an Australia-Chinese association, we want to ‘build a bridge’ to promote the cultural exchanges between the two countries and introduce more Chinese traditional culture to Australia.”

A females first for lifesavers Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au EDITHVALE Life Saving Club has scored another first in its mission to integrate refugees and new arrivals into Australian life. The club has welcomed the first female Afghan lifesaver in Victoria to its volunteer ranks. Elaha Naziri, 16, passed a training course in January to become a qualified lifesaver at Edithvale and has already been out on patrol. Imtiyaz ‘Minty’ Saberi was the first Afghanistan-born male lifesaver to earn his lifesaving stripes in 2013 and Elaha’s achievement has put Edithvale Life Saving Club at the forefront of Life Saving Victoria’s multicultural water safety and settlement project. “We had Minty who was the first male and now we’ve got the first female,” club president Dianne Montalto said. “Edithvale has become known as the leader in the multicultural program.” Elaha arrived in Australia two years ago after joining her refugee father and three brothers here. Two girls from Tibet joined Elaha in passing the lifesaving course with flying colours. Tenzin- Cheosang, 18, and Tsering- Kyi, 17, whose families were refugees in India, are the

first Tibetan female surf lifesavers in Victoria. LSV multicultural project manager David Holland said this is the fifth year of the multicultural program and more than 30 people from a culturally and linguistically diverse background have qualified as lifesavers in this time. “These inspiring role models pave the way for others to get involved with lifesaving and aquatics raising both water safety knowledge and inclusion amongst newly arrived Australians,” Mr Holland said. “It is a great story that so soon after arriving in their new country these young men and women are volunteering their time to protect the wider Australian community.” Ms Montalto said potential lifesavers have swimming lessons for 12 months if they cannot swim before tackling the lifesaving course. Club members are rallying round to make Elaha, Tenzin- Cheosang and Tsering- Kyi feel part of Australian beach life. “One of our ladies who does the sewing has designed a headpiece for Elaha to wear that will be red and yellow,” Ms Montalto said. “When she puts her patrol cap on she’s been wearing her normal scarf so we said we’d make a special head scarf that’s red and yellow so that’ll be your uniform and you’ll be recognised as a patrolling member.”

Parks checking on port risks USERS of Port Phillip and Western Port are being asked to tell Parks Victoria about any risks they know about in either bay. The feedback may be added to the safety and environment management plan (SEMP) covering the two bays and Port Campbell. “Our local ports feature unique marine habitats that have been recognised internationally for their diversity and we want to make sure we are serving the community and our marine environment as best we possibly can,” Parks Victoria senior manager local ports and waterways Victor Teoh said. “We’re keen to hear from a whole range of people who use or enjoy Port Phillip, Western Port or Port Campbell. Whether you’re a swimmer, a recreational boat operator or even a resident living nearby, we’d like to hear your thoughts on our safety and environment management plan and how we can ensure the best outcomes for safety and the environment.” The draft plan released for public comment says the state government sees climate change as a major risk to the environment, “our way of life and our economy”. It says port environments could be adversely affected by heatwaves, accelerated erosion events, sea level rise and coastal impacts. “Long term and immediate impacts of extreme weather are becoming more common and severe,” the plan states.

PAGE 8

“The challenge is to provide a safe and reliable service offer by maintaining boating channels, aids to navigational equipment, piers, and jetties, break walls and launching facilities. “Local port environments will also be effected by climate change with coastal land forms, habitats, flora and fauna experiencing more rapid change.” Statistics show more than 70 million people visit Parks Victoria’s three “local” ports with 58.9 million in Port Phillip, 8.7 million in Western Port and 3.2 million at Port Campbell. “Parks Victoria manages local port infrastructure and facilities across a diverse range of commercial and recreational activities,” Mr Teoh said. “Managing the interaction of these activities and the supporting infrastructure is challenging and resource intensive and this is a great opportunity to provide feedback about the future management of safety and conservation on the water.” The three ports include 40 piers, wharves and jetties; 2500 moorings and berths; 1000 navigational aids as well as dredged channels, harbours, slipways, breakwaters, sea walls and launching sites within the local ports. The final draft of the Safety and Environment Management Plan and details about how to submit are available at parkweb.vic.gov.au The deadline for submissions is 18 March 2016. Call Parks Victoria on 13 1963 or see parks.vic.gov.au

Crowded surf, but that’s the plan PT LEO surf beach is sure to be crowded on Saturday, but no one is grumbling as it will be the second event held this year by the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers Association. The first event for the year on Saturday 16 January saw 115 participants enjoying the surf with the help of 300 volunteers. And organisers are predicting this Saturday’s event will attract even more volunteers and participants. Volunteers can register with the DSA near the Pt Leo lifesaving club from 9.30am (or earlier if they want to help set up for the day). There are several jobs for volunteers who are briefed before the start of the event. The actual surfing starts at 11am and involves teams of volunteers standing in the water to provide a channel of helping hands within which the surfers catch waves to the beach. Some of the surfers lie down while others sit and stand. The DSAMP has wide-wheeled wheelchairs to get surfers

on and off the beach. The branch is raising money to build a boardwalk to make it easier for conventional wheelchairs to access the beach. Branch secretary Bill Hallett said the January event “was our biggest day ever” and expects even more people on Saturday as “March events have always been bigger than in January”. Mr Hallett said the help provided by volunteers was exemplified by a taxi driver who brought two young surfing participants to the January event from Cranbourne. The driver, after finding out about the disabled surfing event “walked them to the rego tent, went and parked his car, turned off the radio and meter and volunteered”. To volunteer or participate in the Disabled Surfers’ Association Mornington Peninsula branch’s register at the Point Leo lifesaving club from 9.30am Saturday 5 March or for more details go to disabledsurfers.org/vic/morningpeninsula-branch/ or call Ash Gardner on 0417 362 983 or Stewart Lockie 0418 101 645.

Sculpting grant questioned

Police patrol

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Hidden haul A MAN entered the Fujiua House Japanese restaurant, Southland, before it opened Sunday 28 February, and stole two days’ takings valued at $5000-$6000 hidden in a cupboard. The elderly female owner had been washing rice and had left the door unlocked when she momentarily left the shop. Images from CCTV, above, show the thief entering the kitchen area and reaching for the cash bag. He is described as Caucasian, late 20s, wearing a dark hoodie and light colour shorts. Anyone with information should call Detective Senior Constable Susanna Hughes, Kingston CIU, 9556 6111.

Mind the pole A PATTERSON Lakes man crashed his car into a power pole on the corner of Woodland Dr and Lower Dandenong Rd, Dingley, 4.50am, Monday

29 February, and fled the scene. The car was destroyed and the power pole badly damaged. Three CFA crews attended. Lower Dandenong Rd was closed off for several hours causing morning peak traffic snarls. Police later found the man at his home suffering extensive injuries. He was taken to The Alfred hospital for treatment.

Wallet, handbag stolen THIEVES stole a man’s wallet and women’s handbag from the kitchen counter of a house in Pacific Dr, Aspendale Gardens, overnight Tuesday 23 February. A sliding door was found open in the early morning and the theft of the items discovered. Inside the wallets were credit cards, driving licences, cash, and security cards. Car keys left on the bench were untouched. Anyone with information should call Mordialloc police, 9588 2988.

FUNDING for an enclosed structure to house the sand sculptures exhibition at Frankston’s waterfront all year round has faced criticism as “a waste of money”. Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson last week announced a $750,000 federal government grant towards building a weatherproof structure to house the sand sculpting exhibition hosted by Sandstorm Events (‘Sand sculptures exhibition cash boost’, The News 23/2/16). Many readers took to Facebook to say they believed the money could be better spent housing the homeless, helping the aged or improving hospital services in Frankston. Frankston Council confirmed it had been notified of the grant before its announcement but said any ratepayer funded contribution to the project “has not been considered at this stage”. Mayor Cr James Dooley said councillors had not yet had a chance to discuss whether council will offer financial or in-kind support to ensure the sand sculpting exhibition, usually a summer event, can become an allyear attraction. “Council was requested to provide a letter of support for the funding,” Cr Dooley said. “Obviously the support does not negate the need for all necessary approvals and consents. “Planning approval is required as is state government permission as the foreshore is Crown Land. Other fac-

tors to consider relate to benefits and impacts upon the community including hours of operation, parking, landscaping and balancing other potential users of the space.” The $750,000 in federal funding, part of a federal nationwide $3.6 million Tourism Demand Driver Infra-

structure program, is dependent “on a matched dollar-for-dollar basis”. Sandstorm Events managing director Sharon Redmond said the company will match the funding grant bringing the total project cost to $1.5 million.

Airport plan takes flight Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au AN airport at Hastings is an idea being flown by Frankston Council and Mornington Peninsula Shire appears to be onboard. The high-flying concept was first floated at a Frankston Council public meeting early this month. Councillors unanimously voted to write to Premier Daniel Andrews and the South East Metropolitan Group of Councils “to determine the viability of the Port of Hastings

site as a location for the South Eastern Airport as identified in Plan Melbourne”. “We have received support for this proposal from the members of the South East Melbourne Group of Councils,” Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley said last week. “To date there have been only informal conversations about this proposal. We’re excited to get the ball rolling regarding this conversation.” The airport proposal seems to be taxiing for takeoff with Mornington Peninsula Shire happy to take a look at expert advice about building an

airport in western port. “Mornington Peninsula Shire has discussed the proposal for a regional airport with Frankston Council and supported their development of a feasibility study,” Mayor Cr Graham Pittock said. Cr Pittock said he and Shire CEO Carl Cowie attended the latest SEM Group of Councils meeting and “are keen to consider any options that could lead to new major developments in the region”. The Plan Melbourne report, released by the state government in May 2014, noted Melbourne is likely

to have a third airport in the south east in the long term, by the year 2050, but did not specify a location for the airport. Frankston Council is pushing for a passenger and freight airport to be built on a 2000 hectare site, dubbed ‘the Long Island Precinct’, between Hastings and Somerville earmarked as a container port for the Port of Hastings. Frankston Council sees the construction of an airport on the Mornington Peninsula as “a viable option to drive economic growth in South East Melbourne” since it

seems unlikely the Hastings port will now be built. “We need an economic catalyst here in the south east that supports the growth of our region’s shared strengths: manufacturing, tourism and premium produce,” Cr Dooley said. “A regional airport could enable the south east to maximise upon the opportunities that come from international demand for premium Australian beef, wine, dairy, berries, asparagus and herbs and further cement the region as a major tourism destination.”

Police pursuit policy under review VICTORIA Police’s contentious vehicle pursuit policy, introduced in August, is under review – which must be music to the ears of serving officers who feel hamstrung and impotent when crooks drive by and they can’t chase them. The number of “evade police” mentions in police dispatches – meaning police were not permitted to chase offenders – is hard for many to accept. The policy was introduced mid-last year in a bid to strike a balance between protecting life and the need to arrest offenders. It came about via a range of recommendations from a coronial inquest into deaths arising from police pursuits in 2013.

Under the policy, officers cannot initiate a chase unless they perceive the offenders pose a risk to the safety of members of the public, or unless a crime has been committed where someone has been serious injured. Superintendent Glenn Weir, of Frankston Police, acknowledged “frustration” by some members of the public when police are ordered not to chase offenders on safety grounds: “We get that,” he said. “[But] there is still provision to pursue.” He said the policy was based on a risk assessment and safety approach, rather than going all out to catch offenders. “There were always plans to review

the policy after a trial period and that’s under way.” Victoria Police pursuit policy: ‘Members must not initiate or continue a pursuit unless they believe that there is an urgent need to apprehend the vehicle occupant/s because: It is necessary to prevent a serious risk to public health and safety A criminal offence has been committed, or is about to be committed, which involves serious injury to a person Alternative means for apprehending the vehicle occupant/s are not feasible The overall harm they are seeking to prevent is greater than the risks involved in conducting the pursuit.’ Stephen Taylor

Robbers threaten 7-Eleven attendant

Motorcyclist dies after collision

THREE large men robbed the Amayla Crescent, Carrum Downs, 7-Eleven store, and menaced the lone attendant, Sunday 14 February. The men stole a quantity of cigarettes and cash in the 11.53pm raid. They did not use weapons in this robbery, but may have in others. The two who jumped the counter wore balaclavas while the third, who kept the door open, did not. The men drove off in a stolen green Commodore sedan which police believe was the one found later at Pearcedale. Detective Acting Sergeant Marty O’Brien, of Frankston Criminal Investigation Unit, said police would like to speak with a man who witnessed the robbery, and who approached the attendant with details immediately afterwards. He is asked to call 9784 5555.

A MOTORCYCLIST died after colliding with a car in Seaford, Wednesday morning. The accident occurred on Seaford Rd near the southbound Frankston Freeway on-ramp about 9.30am. The male rider died at the scene. Westbound traffic on Seaford Rd was closed to traffic and was being diverted at Hartnett Dr. Leading Senior Constable JulieAnne Newman, of police media, said a report would be prepared for the coroner. This year, 17 motorcyclists have been killed on Victorian roads compared to six at the same time last year. Assistant Commissioner Doug Fryer said he doesn’t want to see any-

more needless loss of life. “The 17 riders we have lost to date are not faceless men in black helmets,” he said. “They are brothers, sons and fathers whose deaths will never be forgotten by their families and friends. “I challenge the whole community to not let their deaths be in vain but instead for them to be a wake-up call to change our behaviour on the roads. “We need to share the roads and respect each other at all times.” Anyone who saw the Seaford collision is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Disappointment for Gallipoli boys Compiled by Melissa Walsh ENTRIES for the Somerville Fruit Show close on Saturday next, 11th March. The schedules of prizes and all particulars may be obtained from Mr S. S. Gault, at his office, Somerville. *** REV G. A. Kitchen, who has been away for a fortnight’s holiday, has returned, and will again take up his work in Frankston as usual. *** THE friends of Mr D. Petrie, of Frankston, will regret to hear that he is confined to his bed with a serious illness. We hope that he will soon be on the road to recovery, and able to resume his work. *** MRS Unthank, relict of the late Mr William Unthank, of Hastings, died at the residence of her daughter (Mrs A. E. Denham,) Tyabb on Wednesday last, at the ripe age of 73 years. *** FLINDERS Council report and other interesting items have been held over this week on account of pressure on our space. *** WORD was received on Monday from Driver F. Benson, of Somerville, that the operation for appendicitis was successful and he is improving. *** CPL Ted Reynolds has recovered from a poisoned arm, and is quite well and happy in camp.

*** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, when they will offer 8 jersey heifers, 4 dairy heifers, jersey bull, also good breeding sow, quantity of good suckers and sundries. *** CANON Pitt, assisted by Rev Wilkinson, preached morning and evening at St Paul’s Church, Frankston, on Sunday last, and complimented the choir on their singing. These worshippers, especially the organist, are deserving of great praise, attending practice regularly, and always in their places at church services. *** THE Presbyterian services throughout this district are to be conducted on Sunday by Mr L. C. M. Donaldson Ershire Church, Carlton. Harvest Festival services will be conducted at Mornington Junction afternoon and evening. The fruit and produce used for decorating the church are to be given to the poor of Carlton who are under the care of Mr Donaldson. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their monthly sale at Tanti, on Monday next, when a good yarding of cattle and sheep is advertised. On the same day the firm, in conjunction with Mr J. G.Barratt, under instructions from Captain Woodhouse, will offer 53½ acres of land, being part of Crown Allotments 7 and 8, section 23, Parish of Moorooduc.

*** LETTERS From The Front.The following are extracts from a letter, received by last mail, from Private “Sandy” Bray:—Since writing last we have had another move, but I can’t say where to as it would be censored. We are still going strong and I am in the best of health. It has been very cold and rained for about a week, and as there is not much shelter in the trenches, we feel it a bit, but we have plenty of clothes, blankets, etc, so it is not too bad. We get plenty to eat, mostly bacon, cheese, biscuits, but there is plenty of everything. We got our Xmas billies on January 15th. They were greatly appreciated by the boys. We don’t have very much work just now, but standing in the trenches the hour before dawn is the coldest part of the job. We get off from dinner time till 4.30, when each has to go to his post. We don’t get much news, but a mail came in today and everyone has papers, so we will know a bit of what is going on in other parts of the globe. We expect another shift soon. We have swarms of friends very close to us, and when the sun comes out in the afternoon, we take off our shirts and have a gray goose chase. I see in the papers they are having another recruiting campaign over in Australia and reckon to get a good lot. By what we know from being here even these few weeks, they will all be wanted very soon. I must close now as it is nearly time to go into

the trenches amongst the mice and rats. Heaps of rats, some nearly big enough to ride for a pony. Don’t forget the papers. I saw Fred Benson two weeks ago, he was A.1. Since above was written we have heard Driver Fred Benson is in hospital with appendicitis. He is making a good recovery.—Ed. *** EXPORTS are going away largely and the fruit inspector is kept busy. Melbourne fruit market prices are very low and fruit is hard to sell on account of so much inferior stuff being sent in. A start was made with cabbages this week. Mr J. Hutchinson being the first grower so send from here.The rain has made a big difference to all the cabbage patches. *** A large muster of men (48) awaited the Drs on Thursday last, to get examined for active service and 20 passed as fit. The number of men who have enlisted from Two Bays Nursery is 25. *** MR Coop collected a lot of apples from various growers and forwarded them to Langwarrin Camp, where they were much appreciated. *** MR Jack Murray met with a painful accident last week. Whilst getting through a barbed wire fence, he slipped and ripped his arm, severing a large vein. *** THE Church of England held its har-

vest festival on Sunday last. The church was tastefully decorated and large congregations attended both morning and evening. *** PREPARATIONS are well in hand for the coming show and committee are working hard to try and have things ready in time. *** WORD has been received that both Ptes A. and E. Meldrum are on the sick list. *** THE euchre tournament was well attended last Thursday evening, and a good sum of money was realised for the patriotic fund. *** A lot of disappointment was felt by the soldiers who were on Gallipoli prior to evacuation. They were told that billies were awaiting them in Egypt and all they got was a sight of the empty ones. *** TWO of our worthy councillors undertook a fishing excursion last Sunday. They left for Hastings early and after sailing in a motor boat for a time, ran on a mud bank, and stayed there from 9 a.m till 5 p.m All they got was a long wait and the (bite) of food they took with them. One got out to push the boat off the bank and nearly got lost in the mud. I bet the fish enjoyed it. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 4 March, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The great Salt-N-Pepa brain invasion By Stuart McCullough I DON’T know how it got it in there. Maybe while my back was turned, perhaps when I was sleeping. But whatever the method, fact is it’s wheedled it’s way in and there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do to get it out again. Like a possum in a roof cavity, it’s going to be extremely hard to evict. Sure, like anyone, I remember Salt-N-Pepa’s smash hit from 1992, ‘Shoop’. I just never expected it to show up unannounced all this time later and take up residency between my ears. I am now in the unfortunate position that the lyrics to ‘Shoop’ burst into my thinking when I least expect. It is, at the very least, distracting. For those who might not remember the song, it’s a joyous celebration of carnality using a term that, technically speaking, might not quite be a double entendre. In the hands of one of rap music’s pioneers, it’s a complete triumph; a bona fide smash hit that found it’s way to the top of the charts in countries all across the world, including this one. For myself, I didn’t buy the single and didn’t own the album. It’s nothing personal; there’s lots of stuff I don’t own. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that I haven’t heard the song in more than twenty years, which makes its reappearance now all the more bewildering. It’s not the whole tune that’s moved into my brain like an unwanted backpacker. Just the opening line. ‘Here I go, here I go, here I go again. Girls, what’s my weakness? Men!’ Granted, it’s not exactly Shakespeare, but then again old Willy never really produced

PAGE 14

anything to which you could truly get your groove on. (Try dancing to Macbeth and you’ll see exactly what I mean.) As lyrics go, however, the opening lines of ‘Shoop’ are pretty much genius. Unambiguous and playful, they set up the next three minutes perfectly. As great as it is as a piece of writing, it’s not the kind of stuff

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 2 March 2016

that should burst out of your mouth without due warning. Granted, in the sanctity of your own home, you can sing those lines as loudly as you please. However, the Great Salt-NPepa Brain Invasion of 2016 is not limited to my place of residence. It continues wherever I am, including work. Frankly, it’s difficult to explain to colleagues waiting to use the

photocopier why it is that you’ve just yelled ‘Girls, what’s my weakness? Men!’ at great volume while undertaking a single to double sided copy. Many of them won’t ever have heard of Salt-N-Pepa. Song lyrics are amazing things. They can seep into your muscles without you even knowing and leap from deep within your subconscious into broad daylight with no warning. It happens to me all the time, and not just with Salt-N-Pepa. In fact, it’s commonplace that a random lyric barges into my mind and takes over for a significant period. Sadly, it’s not just good lyrics that have been known to wander aimlessly from whatever dark shadow in which they have lurked for years without causing any trouble to the very front of my mind. Truth be told, there have been whole weeks of my life during which selected parts of Melissa Tkautz’s ‘Read My Lips’ have completely dominated my thinking. Even as I have stood, appearing to outside world to be engaged in conversation, I was really recalling Melissa’s famous exultation, ‘If you want to wait til later, hands off my detonator.’ Beyond the mere fact of remembering those words, what’s surprising is the frequency with which they return to me. I dare say that I think about those lyrics more often than Melissa Tkautz does. It’s no secret that in times of crisis, I often recall the words of the song ‘Cock-eyed Optimist’ from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical, South Pacific. Don’t be surprised if, when all around are panicking and losing their collective cool, you see

my lips moving to form the words, ‘I’m stuck like a dope with a thing called hope and I can’t get it out of my head!’ Oddly, when travelling on the number 67 tram, I think of the tune that Spiderbait’s Kram once described as the ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ of football songs; Mike Brady’s ‘Up There Cazaly’. It’s the bit where Mike declares ‘Me, I like football, and there’s a lot of things around. But when you line them up together, the footy wins hands down’ that comes to me just as I’m starting to nod off against the window. At least we owned the single. That and Chuck Berry’s ‘My Ding-a-ling’ are the only singles I remember my father bringing home from work. Perhaps I should be grateful that it’s ‘Up There Cazaly’ and not ‘My Ding-a-ling’ I recall. I don’t resent the fact that Salt-NPepa are presently squatting in my mind. My only worry is the space they’ll undoubtedly take up. (Spindarella’s wheels of steel take up more room than you may imagine.) It would be a shame if, for example, I could remember the lyrics to ‘Shoop’ and not my pin number. I doubt my ability to convincingly bring the rhyme would be much assistance to the dumbfounded teenager staffing the checkout as I attempt to purchase groceries using nothing more than my microphone skills. But there’s little point sitting around worrying about something that may never happen. Instead, I think I better Shoop. www.stuartmccullough.com

Magpies finish on top PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully CRIB Point finished the MPCA Provincial cricket home and away season on top of the ladder after recording a comfortable victory against Moorooduc on Saturday. The Magpies will host Baxter in the first semi-final this weekend. In the other big match over the weekend, Peninsula Old Boys and Somerville will go head to head for the second time in as many weeks when they clash in the second of the semi-finals. Baxter maintained its position in the top four despite going down to Pines. The loser over the weekend was Langwarrin, who had a chance to grab fourth place with a win against Mt Eliza. However, the Kangas couldn’t get the job done and finished

a game outside the top bracket. Sorrento tried everything that it could to get an outright win against Rye. It took 15 wickets for the day but it still wasn’t enough to pickup the additional eight points. The Sharks finished four points behind Baxter. In the match of the round, Peninsula Old Boys won the toss and batted first against Somerville, making 200 in their 40 overs. Wade Pelzer opened with 41, Will Crowder was solid through the middle of the inning with 50 and Glenn Prendergast hit 35. Brenton Alp was the pick of the Somerville bowlers, taking 3/44. The Eagles started slowly and were 2/35 at one point before skipper Leigh Lowry came to the crease and hit an unbeaten 85 and Justin Allsop provided terrific support with 35.

Somerville got the runs (7/205) with three overs to spare. Langwarrin had Mt Eliza on the ropes at 3/22, however, 57 from Keith Briggs and 25 from keeper Tim Clark helped propel the visitors to 9/165 in its 40 overs. It was enough to defend. Travis Campbell top scored for the Kangas with 53 in reply and Simon McEvoy opened with 31, however, no other players made a serious contribution to the scoreboard. Langwarrin was bowled out for 139 in the 39th over. Nick Baron was the star for the Mounties with 5/27 from 9.4 overs. The Mounties won four of their last five matches of the season. Rye batted its full 40 overs against Sorrento with Justin King hitting 50 and Tom Baron 36. Sorrento then made 2/143 in 16 overs with Leigh Poholke hitting 55

and Anthony Blackwell 45. In the final 24 overs of the day, Rye made 5/40. CJ King took 3/7 from five overs. Baxter will be looking for a much better performance in its semi-final than what it produced on Saturday against Pines. Daniel Warwick top scored in his team’s total of 136, while Dale Irving hit 32. Debutant Connor Jackson was the pick of the Pines’ bowlers with 4/8 from 2.3 overs. Pines scored 7/137 with one over to spare. Rhys Chalkley top scored for the Piners with 46 and Harley PeaceStirling contributed 42. Baxter opening batsman Todd Quinn was thrown the cherry and responded with 3/15. Long Island welcomed the return

of Michael Burke for the first time this season against Mornington and the champ responded with a gamehigh 75. Peter Connell contributed 30 of the team’s 141 runs in 40 overs. The Islanders then bowled out the Dogs for 117. Semi Finals Crib Point and Baxter met in Round 8 in the second match after Christmas. Baxter lost outright. Baxter batted first and was rolled for 88 in 30.1 overs. Jacob Cook was the destroyer with 6/43 and Glenn Barclay picked up 3/37. Crib Point then made 9/192 with Ricky Thompson top scoring with 45. Baxter was bowled out in its second innings for an embarrassing 53. Cook claimed 3/24 and Brad Davidson chipped in with 4/14 from 12.4 overs.

Teams blow their chances DISTRICT

By IT Gully HEATHERHILL and Seaford both blew their opportunities to sneak into the MPCA District top four on Saturday. In the final round of the season, Flinders, Seaford and the Hills were all equal on 72 points. Flinders seemed to have the easiest of tasks playing Seaford Tigers, while the Hills hosted Mt Martha and Seaford had the tough task of playing the best in the business in Red Hill. Most eyes were on the Sharks and the Hills to see who would win and grab that fourth place. However, there were also some eyes down at Carrum for the relegation match against Boneo. Boneo cruised to victory, won its

final two games of the season and in doing so sent Carrum into Sub District. The reality is that all three teams lost and the ladder, with Flinders in fourth place, remained unchanged. So the semi finals this weekend will be between neighbours Red Hill and Flinders at the Showgrounds while Pearcedale will host Baden Powell at the Panthers’ den. In good news for the finals, Baden Powell was able to turn around their horror run and win very comfortably against Main Ridge. The win will give the Braves plenty of confidence after batting first and making 8/145, thanks largely to 80 runs from Tommy Wood. After scores of 3, 3 and 1 previously, the Braves would have welcomed the return of form for Wood. Oliver McEnroe finished the season

on a real high for the Ridge, snaring 4/45 from his 10 overs, including a hatrick. The Braves then rolled the Ridge for 104 in 34.2 overs. Heatherhill couldn’t get the job done against Mt Martha. The Hills won the toss and batted first and Kristian Miller got them away to a flier with 50 runs. However, he received little support until Jordan Creely (37) came to the crease. The score of 9/138 appeared to be defendable. The Reds made the runs (7/141) with six overs to spare. Seaford was always up against it against Red Hill, however, would have given themselves a real chance when they bowled out the Hillmen for 148 in the final over. However, Glenn Collett was at his

damaging best for the Hillmen and carved through the Seaford batting line up, taking 4/28 from 10 overs. Simon Dart was also on song with 3/14 from five overs. Delacombe Park just didn’t score enough runs to trouble Pearcedale. The Parkers batted first but were bowled out for just 115 in the 37th over. Shayne Gillings was superb for the Panthers with 5/32 and Sam Frawley and Kaine Smith snared two wickets each. Pearcedale then scored the runs with four overs to spare. Max Blackburn top scored with 35 and Brad Trotter helped himself to 33. Andrew Stapleton claimed 3/34 for Delacombe. In other matches, Boneo sent Carrum to Sub District after scoring

9/152 in its 40 overs. Cam Williams top scored with 42 and skipper Ryan Jellie hit 35. The Pandas then bowled out Carrum for 138. Josh Dent scored 39 for the Lions. Semi Finals Red Hill scored 303 against Flinders in their home and away match in Round 8. Simon Dart top scored for the Hillmen with 108. In reply, Andrew Power hit 82 to help the Sharks get to 241, a loss of almost 60 runs. Pearcedale and Baden Powell met in the same round. The Panthers recorded a solid victory after Max Blackburn top scored with 77. Baden Powell was bowled out for 185 with Chris Dew snaring 7/42 for the Panthers.

Practice Matches

By IT Gully DROMANA will play Frankston YCW and Hastings will host Rosebud in the two MPCA Sub District semi finals this weekend. As predicted last week, despite Carrum Downs being a mathematical chance of playing finals leading into the final round, Rosebud was never going to lose to Skye and that proved to be the case. While the Buds won comfortably and finished in third place, the same can’t be said for the Blues. Hastings was beaten by top of the table Dromana, meaning it hasn’t beaten a top four team this season. Going into a sudden death final this week, Hastings have won just one of its past four matches. Suffice to say they have limped into the finals. On Saturday against the rampaging Dromana, Hastings were wobbly early losing 3/26, before Timmy Birch (53) and Luke Hewitt gave their bowlers a target to defend (132). Dromana’s Jack Fowler made that very difficult however, hitting 69 while Mark Whitehead provided solid support with 32, scoring 4/134 in 37 overs. Mitch Floyd removed Darren Kerr for one and the Hoppers were 1/1 at that stage, however, by the time Fowler went out, the score had pushed along to 100. MPCA star Jason Mathers rescued Rosebud in its win against Skye. Mathers came to the crease with his side in some strife at 4/28, however, hit an unbeaten 63 and together with Peter Doughty, helped their side to 6/151.

Brian Doughty then did the damage with the ball with 4/38 while Jason Nagel chipped-in with 3/26 to bowl out Skye for 101 in 32.2 overs. Frankston YCW didn’t fly into the finals as it would have hoped, going down to Balnarring. The Stonecats batted first and seemed to set a winnable target with the red hot Lai Leaunoa hitting 80 and fellow opener Sammy Preston hitting 33. Jack Greenwood and Jason Bedford then opened the shoulders and helped the Stonecats to a good total of 7/179. However, Balnarring wanted to finish the season on a high and skipper Brenton Taylor led the way with 76 while Tyler Wilton contributed 47. The Saints reached 5/183 with three overs to spare. Carrum Downs did the job over Ballam Park with 13 overs to spare. The Knights batted their 40 overs for 129 runs with Zac Clements top scoring with 43. Leon McConnell then opened with a quickfire 78 to help Carrum Downs to 5/131 in 27 overs. In the final match of the final round, Tootgarook (9/145) was too strong for Tyabb (9/143). Semi Finals Dromana and Rosebud will head into this weekend’s semi finals as favorites. However, one of Dromana’s rare losses this season came at the hands of the Stonecats in Round five. The Stonecats hit 7/169 batting first before bowling out the Hoppers for just 86. Just last weekend, Hastings lost to Rosebud in a reverse outright. The Blues batted first and made 120 before bowling out Rosebud for 99. The Buds then bundled out the Blues in their second innings for 38 before getting home with 2/60 in their second innings.
