New plans for golf course redevelopment revealed Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au MORE than 800 housing lots will be constructed at the former Kingswood golf course site in Dingley Village if its owners get the green light.

AustralianSuper is the owner of the site, which was purchased in 2014 for $125 million. Plans to develop the land have been in limbo for years, after a proposal to build a little under 800 dwellings on it was shut down by

Kingston Council in 2018 (“Council tees off on golf course plans”, The News, 24/10/18).

Last week, the developer unveiled its new plans for the site. It will include more than 800 housing lots and 14 hectares of open space.

The developer is requesting that the zoning restrictions for the site be changed to allow for the construction of buildings up to three stories, 11 metres, in height.

The planning minister has referred

the new proposed planning scheme amendment and planning permit application to the state government’s golf course redevelopment standing advisory committee for consideration.

A statement from AustralianSuper’s project team read “feedback from locals over the past five years and the input of planning experts has been used to design an inclusive, attractive, highquality development to enhance the area for everyone who calls Dingley Village home. The plans include 823

housing lots, 14 hectares of open space, including a large new park, green linear reserves along many of the site boundaries and the retention, expansion and creation of new wetlands to support local biodiversity. Around 850 trees now on the site would be retained and some 2,685 new trees planted, meaning there would be 10 per cent more trees on site than before.”

generous private garden. Townhouse blocks will be contained to the centre of the site, with substantial buffers to existing, established homes,” the statement read.

The proposal will be publicly exhibited by DELWP until 6 August.

Members of the public can make submissions during this time.

The previous proposal drew public outcry, with over 8000 submissions received by Kingston Council.

Meet Biala’s new CEO Biala Peninsula has been supporting families and children with disabilities and additional needs on the Peninsula for nearly 40 years. Biala Peninsula, a Mornington based not for profit community based organisation, is registered as a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Provider of specialised services for children from birth to 12 years of age.

David Greenwood joined Biala earlier this year after eight years as the General Manager of Education & Training at a Melbourne based notfor-profit organisation delivering a range of early childhood programs.

In that role, David oversaw amongst others the significant transition from the state based Early Childhood Intervention funding model to the NDIS. The Biala Board President expressed how delighted both Board and staff are to have been successful in securing David for the CEO role at Biala.

Originally established in 1982, Biala Peninsula provides a well-established suite of wraparound services and programs to support families and their children. The therapy team includes Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Educational Advisors, Music Therapists, Allied Health Assistants, Social Workers, a Psychotherapist, Family Therapist and Dietitian.

Biala Peninsula therapists work in supportive teams, minimising the number of professional relationships the child and family require, in order to achieve their goals. The team provides therapeutic supports centred around strength-based practice and family centred principles. The team provides support onsite at Biala’s purpose built facility or in the child’s natural environment such as the home or school. Our therapists work with the primary carers to build capacity within daily routines and support children’s development. Biala also provides professional development programs for early childhood professionals.

David Greenwood stressed that the demand for services has expanded significantly with the introduction of the NDIS, particularly in early childhood intervention. One of the main challenges for providers is the recruitment of allied health professionals. Both the Victorian and Commonwealth Government have developed an NDIS Workforce Plan recognising the need to grow the workforce significantly in order to ensure we can meet the needs of people with a disability and fully realise the benefits of the NDIS. He further commented that Biala Peninsula has placed significant focus on its employee experience developing reward, recognition and wellbeing programs to create a happier and

Plane crash cause investigation begins Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au AN investigation has been launched into the cause of a plane crash in Heatherton last week.

A Piper PA-32-300 aircraft crashed one kilometer north of Moorabbin Airport last Tuesday, 22 June, just after midday. The pilot, who was the sole occupant of the plane, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

The plane was destroyed when it hit the ground.

A statement from Victoria Police read “it is believed a light plane crashed into trees shortly after takeoff from Moorabbin Airport just after midday. The plane crashed into a paddock in semi-rural area of Heatherton - close to Moorabbin Airport.”

“The exact cause is yet to be determined and the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com. au.”

The Australian Transport Safety Board has since launched its investigation into the plane crash.

A summary on the ATSB website read “the aircraft had been conducting circuit operations at Moorabbin Airport and collided with terrain approximately one kilometer north of the airport at Heatherton. Emergency services attended the accident site shortly afterwards and rescued the pilot, the sole occupant, from the wreckage.”

“The evidence collection phase of the investigation will include examination of the accident site and wreckage by ATSB investigators, and the collection of other relevant evidence, including recorded data and communi-

cations, air traffic control surveillance data, weather information, witness reports, aircraft operator procedures and maintenance records, and interviewing the pilot,” the ATSB said.

“A final report will be released at

the conclusion of the investigation.

Should a critical safety issue be identified during the course of the investigation, the ATSB will immediately notify relevant parties, so that appropriate safety action can be taken.”

Vaccine rollout ramps up Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au COVID-19 vaccinations will now be available to people under age 40 in Australia.

Before this week, Pfizer jabs were available to over 40s and AstraZeneca had been offered to those more than 60 years of age. After a national cabinet meeting on Monday night, AstraZeneca jabs will become available to people under 60.

A professional indemnity scheme will be established for GPs who administer the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the measures in a press conference on Monday night. “We will be implementing a new no fault indemnity scheme for general practitioners who administer COVID-19 vaccines. So this relates to encouraging Australians to go and chat to their GP about their vaccination and to have their vaccination administered,” he said.

“The [Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation] advice talks about a preference for AstraZeneca to be available and made available to those as preferred for those over 60. But the advice does not preclude persons under 60 from getting the As-

traZeneca vaccine. And so if you wish to get the AstraZeneca vaccine, then we would encourage you to go and have that discussion with your GP and we’ve already made announcements to support those additional consultations with the GPs so you can have that conversation.

“We are also providing the indemnity scheme for those general practitioners so they can actively engage with you and you can make the best decision for your health.”

There is very low risk of rare blood clots, thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, occurring as a result of the AstraZeneca jab. ATAGI says that

the estimated risk of TTS from the first jab is around 3.1 in 100,000 for under 50s.

The rate of death from the few that do get TTS is even smaller, three per cent.

Mr Morrison also announced that COVID-19 jabs would become mandatory for residential aged care workers as a condition of working. Workers must have at least one dose of a vaccine by September this year.

“The Commonwealth will work together with the states to ensure compliance with those orders because we have those direct relationships and reporting relationships with the aged

care providers,” he said. “We want to make sure that this won’t have a negative impact on available workforce and to support that, the Commonwealth has decided today and I’ve signed off on implementation of an $11 million grant program to encourage residential aged care facilities to provide staff with leave to get vaccinated.”

COVID-19 outbreaks at aged care facilities had fatal consequences last year. An outbreak at Bupa Edithvale claimed 17 lives after 44 residents contracted the virus.

Residents unhappy about golf course plans More Mordi Freeway works close road

Continued from page 1 Save Kingswood Group Inc opposed the previous proposal, and has spoken out again against the new plans.

The group’s president, Kevin Poulter, slammed the proposal put forward this week.

“The latest application indicates 823 lots, each less than 300 square metres, and a reduction in car parking plus many more nasties. We are outraged that the developer could even dream of such an insidious plan,” he said.

Mr Poulter said that “micro housing, narrow streets, and not enough parking” all posed issues. “Plus hundreds of extra children with insufficient schools and no high school. It makes a mockery of the statement from [AustralianSuper] on their website that they consulted residents,” he said.

Last month Kingston Council mayor Steve Staikos said “council will be making a very comprehensive submission to the standing advisory committee on behalf of our community, but it is really important that the community also adds its voice and lets the committee know how it feels about the proposed rezoning and development application for the site (“Committee will consider golf course future”, The News, 26/5/21)”.

SPRINGVALE Road between Wells and Pillars roads will shut this week to allow for more works on the Mordialloc Freeway.

From Friday 2 July until Tuesday 6 July, the road will shut from 8pm to 6am weeknights and from 8pm to 7am on weekends.

While the road is shut, bridge beams will be installed over the road. Project crews have recently finished building bridge abutments and centre supports for the bridge.

Motorists will have to take detours via Wells Road and Lower Dandenong Road while works take place. The Mornington Peninsula Freeway will still be accessible travelling southbound on Springvale Road, or via Wells Road and Thames Promenade.

The bus stops at Pillars Road and Waterways Boulevard will both be closed during the closure period. Visit ptv.vic.gov.au to find an alternative stop.

Course set for ninjas FANCIED competitors in the Australian Ninja Warrior TV show which returned to Channel 9 last week train together on the Mornington Peninsula.

The show aired on Sunday 20 June with Zak Stolz making it into semi-final one on Tuesday 29 June and Charlie Robbins heading straight into the grand final after winning the Power Tower in Heat 4.

Ashlin Herbert also heads straight to the grand final after winning the Power Tower in Heat 2 and Troy Cullen makes it to the semi-finals.

Sarah Blackmore doesn’t make it but will cheer on the Mornington ninjas from the sidelines.

As one of the top ninjas, Herbert returns for his fifth season of Australian Ninja Warrior and is said to be “hungry for the win after a surprise elimination in the semi-finals last year”.

Project to track children’s wellbeing

By Joseph Misuraca A MOUNT Eliza couple is working with a new statewide health initiative to track and improve children’s wellbeing.

Dr Jolyon Ford and his wife Jo Ford are a Mount Eliza couple working at Peninsula Health with a new statewide health initiative called ‘GenV’.

The program is designed to track Victorian babies born between 2020-2022. Its goal, according to the GenV website, is to achieve “a better approach to child health, development and wellbeing in Victoria”. It’s a voluntary program, and one of the largest of its kind.

The research study is being carried out by the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute at the Royal Children’s Hospital. It will address numerous

issues including asthma and obesity to name a few.

Dr Ford is Clinical Director for Women’s Health at Peninsula Health.

He’s helped to facilitate the program’s launch at Frankston Hospital.

“The study collects a whole bunch of what we call ‘demographic data’ which is just about family, what they do, where they live, their socio-economic status, their smoking status, the genetic information from the parents and the child,” Dr Ford said.

Mrs Ford is a primary school teacher who’s having a break from the profession to now be a recruiter for GenV. Her job is to approach families on the maternity ward once their baby has been born, and to sign them up with GenV. The parents’ and newborn’s data are safely and securely

de-identified.

Over the past 25 years of teaching, Mrs Ford has noticed the amount of children with health problems has increased dramatically. “When I started teaching 25 years ago, and I would get my class list, there might be a couple of children that had certain conditions,” Mrs Ford said.

“But now, when you get a class list, there are so many children that are flagged for a variety of reasons.”

Dr Ford said GenV will give researchers information about the causes of various health conditions so they can help the current adult population, not just future generations.

GenV will soon be launched at Bay’s Hospital and Peninsula Private.

Callous thieves steal junior football jumpers A JUNIOR football club has been left devastated after heartless thieves stole their brand new jumpers.

Sometime between 17 June and 20 June, unknown offenders broke into the Seaford Junior Football Club home ground on East Road.

They broke into a storage room and stole boxes containing brand new jumpers and footballs.

The total value of the stolen items was over $3000.

Victoria Police Detective Senior Constable Ashleigh Sanders said “the items stolen during this burglary are mostly useless to anyone else and the club are devastated after all they have been through over the last 18 months.”

Buying beanies for MND research SHOPPERS at Carrum Downs Coles helped raise more than $40,000 for MND research in the last six weeks.

As part of FightMND’s Big Freeze7 campaign, the store sold beanies and donated money from pork sales. A total of $43,000 was donated from the store.

FightMND raised $14.6 million during its Big Freeze campaign this

year. The money will be used to fund research into motor neurone disease.

Two Australians are diagnosed with MND each day on average. Around two people die with it each day.

FightMND campaign director Bec Daniher said “on behalf of FightMND, I would like to extend a massive thank you to the entire team at Coles and Coles Express who embraced our

cause with enthusiasm and raised such a substantial amount of funds. We are incredibly grateful to have Coles as our major Big Freeze partner, your contribution to our success cannot be underestimated. And of course a big thank you to our FightMND Army around Australia for buying their Big Freeze beanies.”

Capturing life during lockdown PHOTOS which capture life as it was in 2020 are being displayed as part of Frankston Art Centre’s This Time Last Year online exhibition.

Jenny Rusby’s collection The Year We Stayed at Home explores the importance of family and connection during a year in which everyone was kept apart. “The aim of The Year We Stayed Home was to capture that closeness at home, where we spent so much time, so we can remember that unique time together,” Ms Rusby said.

“Families were gifted the sessions for free in exchange to committing to do at least one act of kindness to pay it forward into the community.

It’s my hope that you’ll look back at these portraits in the years to come and remember that year, The Year We Stayed Home. Remember how difficult it was, yet how communities came together to get through it, how families were given the opportunity to stop what they were doing and spend quality time together. To remember

that closeness we felt in our homes.”

All Dressed Up, Nowhere to Go by Lisa Atkinson is a series which captures moments of glamour in lockdown. “Not long after the start of the COVID-19 lockdowns in April 2020, what started as a fun little idea for socially distant photoshoots among a small group of close friends, turned into a large scale photographic project, All Dressed Up, Nowhere to Go,” Ms Atkinson said.

“As word of mouth spread through friends and social media shares, I ended up photographing over 70 fabulous women and one man over two months, with each subject getting all glammed up to venture no further than their driveways. The brief to each participant was simple – go as glam as possible, get creative with your theme and how it relates to your world in lockdown, and most of all, have fun.“ To see the exhibitions visit youtube. com/user/FrankstonArtsCentre

OBITUARY

A life of caring for family, environment Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au WELLWISHERS filled Baden Powell Park Scout Hall last month to mark the passing of Mount Eliza resident John Scholes.

The dedicated civil engineer and environmentalist was remembered by wife Ann as a “gentle man of measured words, deep-thought and boundless practical skills”.

Theirs was a life of family, Scouting, travel and care for the environment – all things dear to Mr Scholes’ heart.

The couple met at RMIT in 1968 where he was studying chemical engineering and married at St James the Less Church, Mount Eliza, on the day of Gough Whitlam’s election in 1972.

Their wedding breakfast was held in a marquee in Ann’s parents’ garden at Mount Martha.

Three years later the couple moved into Roborough Avenue, Mount Eliza, where they lived amid bushland for 44 years. “This home, part of a Merchant Builders Estate, was to provide many challenges: living on a steep slope with limited flat living areas and gravel toppings which ended up in the creek, lack of storage, and sited to fulfil aesthetic needs rather than control of heat,” Ann said.

“All these problems were, over time, mitigated or solved by John. Control of our weed infested bushland also proved problematic. However, John built paths, steps and a boardwalk which eventually enabled me to access and control weeds and promote the growth of its indigenous habitats.”

As a young engineer in 1972 Mr Scholes joined the Dandenong Valley Authority and headed up a pollution control section in what he discovered was a conservative engineering culture, where the emphasis was on drainage and flooding. He set about changing this attitude by leading a talented team to control and mitigate

the effects of pollution within the wider scope of farsighted environmental management.

It was a time of change: working under the then-new Environment Protection Act Mr Scholes and his team focused on the care and sustainability of waterways and wetland environments using a progressive approach that would become widely adopted only years later.

He led the protection and rehabilitation of the Edithvale and Seaford Wetlands which were later given Ramsar-Status and the only urban wetlands to be so recognised. He chaired the community based management group for many years and produced promotional material and was a member of the Victorian Wetlands Trust until it was wound up.

Ann recalled: “In 1992, the DVA published a

30 June 2021

booklet, Edithvale – Seaford Wetlands. John put an enormous amount of time into this publication and, in particular, the bird sketches.”

His creativity solved issues around the foul smelling Kananook Creek and poor tidal exchange at Patterson Lakes through development of a pumping station. Frankston has benefited since.

Through his persistence the DVA came to value waterways as assets – not just drains – allowing it to become conservation-minded and environmentally-focused long before it became vogue.

He left in 1991 “having achieved some incredible outcomes – many that survive to today”.

Many of Mr Scholes’ DVA colleagues were present at his funeral “out of respect for his good nature, fairness, vision and professional approach”.

Mr Scholes had a family connection to the Baden Powell Park Scout group over 30 years as a leader, secretary and project manager designing and managing the extension of the Scouts Den, renovation of kitchens and bathrooms, roof raising and construction of the gallery which is named in his honour.

He joined as a Cub Scout leader in 1992 when children Emily became a Scout and Richard, a Cub. Ann joined as Assistant Group Leader.

“The whole family embraced our group and it was not long before the Scholes name appeared on the honour board with Emily becoming the first girl at BPP to become a Queen’s Scout,” leader Mike Beadle said.

Mr Scholes, who had achieved the same honour in 1963 at 4th Malvern Scouts, went on to be recognised by Scouts Australia, including receiving a Distinguished Service Award in 2015.

“John was always extremely generous, giving many hours of his time to developing Scouting in our group,” Mr Beadle said.

As secretary, Mr Scholes organised and documented committee meetings, oversaw and planned for continuous improvement of the group’s facilities, and pursued sponsorship and donations – including acquisition and refurbishment of four second-hand Pacer yachts for the Scouts.

“John’s attention to detail meant everything he did was done properly and precisely,” Mr Beadle said. “From the installation of the water filtration system to the painting of the compass on this floor, all of John’s works were masterpieces.”

Ann and John researched the history of the 1935 Australian Jamboree at Frankston. Their collection of memorabilia and detail from the event is on the group’s website.

Mr Scholes, who for many years was a member of the Mount Eliza Foreshore Advisory Group, led efforts to revegetate native bushland at the scout halls. His design of the beach erosion barrier, which absorbs the energy from the waves, has drawn praise from many, including politicians and cultural heritage and conservation groups. (“Scouts build barrier to ‘save’ beach” The News 1/7/19).

“All of us at BPP have been extremely privileged to have had John with us as such a key member of our group. His enormous commitment to Scouting has left its mark firmly in the fabric of the Baden Powell Park Scout Group,” Mr Beadle said.

Ann Scholes said daughter Emily’s completion of her PhD on waste water treatment “was for John, who had spent most of his working life in the water industry, an enormous achievement”.

She thanked the Peninsula Home Hospice and Alfred Care, with “their wonderful nurses, who enabled us to keep John home to the end”.

“Our tragic loss has renewed my faith in human nature,” she said.

SUNSET SOUNDS COMING TO HASTINGS

MARGARET FULTON THE MUSICAL MARGARET Fulton - ‘the first lady of Australian food’ was born in Scotland in 1924, moving to Glen Innes, NSW with her family when she was just three years old. After her schooling years Margaret moved to Sydney to pursue her dream of becoming a cabaret performer, however she ended up living next door to a “lady” of the night and working in a nuts-andbolts factory, a job she couldn’t get away from quick enough and finally landing as a position as a cooking teacher at The Australian Gas Light Company. Her career as a food writer was soon to follow with work at Woman Magazine, Women’s Day and later New Idea.

Margaret Fulton was widely credited with teaching Australian’s how to cook, reigning supreme on our country’s cooking scene, awarded an OAM in 1983 and later identified as a National Living Treasure.

She released the Margaret Fulton Cookbook in 1968 which went on to sell more than 1.5 million copies. This book encouraged Australian housewives to experiment with more

interesting ingredients, straying from the old tradition of meat and three veg. Almost every Australian household owned a copy of this cookbook.

Margaret passed away in regional NSW aged 94, in 2019.

She was thrilled her life story had made it to the stage!

‘Margaret Fulton-The Musical’ follows her journey from humble beginnings to superstardom through theatre, dance and song. We witness her many business ventures, two failed marriages, her heartbreak and loss.

Featuring an all “triple-threat” cast, with powerhouse Judy Hainsworth in the role of Margaret Fulton this musical is simply a recipe for success!

‘Margaret Fulton the Musical’ is coming to Frankston Arts Centre on Sunday 18 July.

Tickets are $65. Conc. $59. members $55 and child U16 $49 with groups of 10+ $59.

Tickets available by phone 9784 1060 or online at - www.thefac.com.au

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

On Existentialism and Eastlink

By Stuart McCullough IT’S a weird time. For whatever reason, my nerves are heightened, senses sharpened. I don’t know if it’s that we’re now in the second year of the pandemic or some kind of mid-life crisis, but I’m starting to see things a little differently. It began, somewhat unexpectedly, on Eastlink. Generally speaking, I’m not one for experiencing a philosophical flashpoint while charging down a major commuter expressway, but it wasn’t something I chose. Rather, it seemed to choose me.

I was driving to my brother’s when I saw it: a large flashing sign hanging above the road. In no uncertain terms, it explained that the right lane was strictly for overtaking and that, if not overtaking, you should remain in the left lane. The message was put clearly and with great economy. Namely, venture into the right hand lane only if you plan to overtake. Otherwise, remain in the left lane. At this particular point of Eastlink, there are three lanes.

While the purpose of lanes one and three had been made crystal clear, the circumstances under which you were permitted to utilize lane number two were a mystery.

That’s not to say that lane two was empty. Far from it. There were all kinds of vehicles traversing the nopurpose lane, unaware of their status as visitors to a world without status or recognition. They were, in effect, cruising along in an existential noman’s land, oblivious to the consequences. From the safety of the left lane, I wanted to sound my horn as a warning, but it was no use. These people were using the supernatural mys-

tery lane and nothing would change their minds.

Given this absence of clarity, there ought to be warning. Perhaps a road sign that reads ‘Warning: Existential Crisis Ahead’. Usually such signs are accompanied by a stick figure of some sort to ram the point home. I feel that

those responsible for creating these stick figures often fail to get the level of recognition they so richly deserve.

Within the genre of ‘road sign stick figures’ I’m quite fond of ‘beware of falling rocks’. I’m not sure how best to signify a spiritual flashpoint of this kind – perhaps a stick figure modelled

on Rodin’s ‘The Thinker’ would do the trick.

It’s not the only challenge to the time, space and the cosmos that’s been troubling me this week. In between avoiding paranormal lane-changes, I’ve also been thinking about the bin in the kitchen a lot. Maybe too much.

When I empty the bin, it remains empty for a day at most. Ninety percent of the time it appears full, even as further rubbish is added. This shouldn’t be possible. If the rate of input remains pretty much consistent, then this should simply not be so. Obviously, some of this waste is being transported to another dimension – possibly the second lane of Eastlink – where it bides its time, waiting for bin night.

Keen for answers, I decided to try and Google my way out of my conundrum. In short order, I found myself on YouTube watching cat videos; when it occurred to me that people stopped referring to the internet as ‘the information superhighway’ probably about the same time as cat videos took over.

Or, alternatively, the information superhighway has three lanes and they couldn’t figure out what the second lane was for and abandoned the idea altogether.

But YouTube is a strange, mysterious place that is yet to be touched by the rules of western civilization. It was while I was there that I discovered ‘reaction’ videos. A reaction video is where someone films themselves listening to or watching something for the first time. We, the viewer, then get to watch them react. As best I can tell, no formal qualification is necessary.

Note; to date no-one has created a

video of themselves reacting to a book they’re reading for the first time - presumably nobody’s interested in watching a reaction to ‘A Remembrance of Things Past’ by Marcel Proust. Or it’s not considered an efficient use of time.

Not only do people make these videos; people generate income by making these videos.

You can guess what happens next.

These overseas video correspondents are bombarded with requests to react to things that – while incredibly popular here – are unknown in other countries. So it is that people end up reacting to Cold Chisel and John Farnham songs. Some presenters were clearly taken aback by the work of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The video of some dude in Florida reacting to ‘This Is Serious Mum’ is not one I’ll soon forget.

Forget ever understanding how Eastlink works. Instead, I need to start filming reaction videos. And since it pays to specialize, my plan is to film myself reacting to other people’s reaction videos. Or, better yet, film myself reacting to footage of people driving in the second lane of Eastlink. To ensure that it goes viral, I’ll superimpose some footage of a kitten. With those crucial ingredients in place, success is all but guaranteed. Or maybe I should forget it completely and take these illconceived ideas and throw them in the bin that, although it appears full, won’t need emptying for another three or four days. It might be just me, but I suspect the last few weeks of social isolation have taken their toll(way).

I’ll wait it out in the second lane. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Pony falls down a well in Frankston IN aid of the Royal Victorian Blind Institute, Miss Dorathea Macmaster has consented to give, in the Mechanics Institute, Frankston, a recital on the lines of one she gave with marked success in the Melbourne Athenaeum a few weeks ago.

Miss Macmaster will be supported by students from various parts of Victoria, whom she is training for the concert platform at her rooms in Melbourne.

Fuller particulars will be published later, the present notice is merely intended as an invitation to supporters of the Institute to keep the 19th of July free, and, if they have any leisure for the undertaking, to place themselves in touch with Miss Macmaster, who is arranging to devote Wednesdays and Saturdays to advanced pupils from different parts of the Peninsula, may be seen re the recital on those days at Balmoral House, Frankston. *** AN important meeting of the Somerville Branch of the Teachers’ Union was held at Frankston on Wednesday evening, when the President (Mr S. Uren) occupied the chair.

This was an experimental meeting under the suggested scheme for movable meetings.

Judging by the increased attendance, the keen interest taken in all matters brought forward, and the amount of business transacted, the success of the movement is already assured.

Mr Jennings was unanimously elected vice president.

It was agreed, on the motion of Mr Jennings and Miss Pearce, that the next meeting should be held at Hast-

ings on 10th July.

The matter of superannuation was then discussed, when Messrs McConville and Jennings, Misses Fulton, Armstrong and Cole spoke in favor of the scheme by which the Public Servants and the Government subscribe to the fund.

It was pointed out that Victoria was the only State in Australia that had not a Superannuation Fund for the State Public Servants. It was decided to request the Union to bring the matter at once before the Cabinet.

It was further resolved, on the motion of Mr Jennings and Miss Guan, to invite Mr Braithwaite (President of the Teachers’ Union) to Frankston to give an address.

Misses McFarlane and Gale considered that the meeting should do something to provide social functions for members, and proposed that a series of tennis matches be arranged amongst teachers.

This was agreed to.

At the close of the meeting Mr Jennings and his staff provided suppers which was much appreciated by all, but especially by those who had driven in from remote schools. *** Darcy Eccles, who escaped from French Island, as reported in “The Standard” last issue, appeared at the Melbourne City Court on June 16, when he was charged with having escaped from legal custody.

The alleged offence was committed on May 7th, 1918, when accused was detained at the McLeod Settlement Reformatory, French Island, having been admitted three days previously.

World famous for tone and durability. *** Letter to the Editor Sir, I have been travelling daily for the last twenty years on the Victorian railways, and recently I had occasion to visit Hastings.

On the return trip we were supposed to leave Hastings at 3.58pm.

We left long after 5pm, arriving at Baxter shortly before 6pm, where we were supposed to connect with the Mornington train.

Needless to state, this train did not wait for us, and we were left to stand about on the platform – a cold winter night – until 7.30pm, when a train was drawn up to the platform.

This train did not contain a solitary light, and we were forced to sit in darkness until we reached Frankston, where we were glad to avail ourselves of hot tea and scones.

The remainder of the journey was accomplished in lit carriages, and we were glad to reach Flinders Street at 10pm.

Fancy six hours to cover 40 miles!

One naturally is curious to know what is the use of time tables if the trains cannot be run on time.

Yours, etc., E. WILSON. *** FROM the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 24 June 1921

A great deal of timber and material is stored at the local railway station.

The season is decidedly promising and round about Coolart, Balnarring and Shoreham there are some fine lusty crops.

But, in other ways, there are signs of progress here and the recent gymkhana proved an unqualified success.

Compiled by Cameron McCullough LAST Sunday, a pony, the property of Mr Bennett, fell down a narrow well at “Cleveden,” Kars Street, but, fortunately, the pony was rescued by a number of willing workers.

It is not known how long the animal had been in the well before it was discovered, but he was down about 10 feet, with his head just out of the water.

The pony is not much the worse for its adventure. *** VISIBLE expression of recognising the birthday of our beloved Prince was conspicuous by its absence on the 23rd inst.

They led at each break of play, and took a 22 point lead into the final term.

Pines didn’t give up though, and booted six goals in a final term blitz.

The Pythons ended up clinching a thriller by just five points 11.8 (74) to 12.7 (79).

Billy Quigley was the Tigers’ best.

Frankston YCW cemented their place on top of the ladder with a comfortable win over Mt Eliza.

The Stonecats controlled proceedings from the beginning. They ended up running out 51 point winners 13.13 (91) to 6.4 (40).

Matthew Troutbeck and Brenton Lambert kicked three goals each for the victors.

Bonbeach rounded out the winner’s list with a 63 point victory over Red Hill. Owen Hulett was immense in his first senior game for the season.

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ROSEBUD player-coach Mark Pagliarulo was over-the-moon when he clinched the signing of Ash Scholes last week.

“Pags” had been chasing the 27-year-old’s signature for some time and was close to signing him a few months ago.

“I tried to get him at the beginning of the season but he wanted to stay loyal to Somerville but recently we spoke and he wasn’t enjoying it there so decided to come down,” Pagliarulo said on Friday.

“He’s a massive signing for the club, a local lad and a top defender.

“He’s a big boy, strong, good in the air and a good lad to have around the place, a very honest player who gives 100 per cent every week.

“Massive thanks to Somerville for releasing him with no dramas as it wouldn’t have been easy losing one of their top players but they sorted it for us straight away so he could play this weekend.”

Scholes is a former Rosebud Heart player.

He’s been given the No 95 shirt, a humorous nod to his pace and a reference to Lightning McQueen in the animated Pixar film series “Cars”.

Scholes had an excellent debut on Saturday as Rosebud defied the odds with a 3-1 away win over State 5 South promotion candidate Hampton Park United.

The home side led after 32 minutes but Pagliarulo levelled two minutes later with a quickly taken free-kick.

Just before half-time Dougie’s Cunnison’s ball across the face of goal was headed home by Iglia Malisan from close range to give Rosebud the lead at the interval.

In the 58th minute a left-foot strike by Pagliarulo was parried by Hampton keeper Jack Lindsay but Callum Norton followed up to seal the deal for the visitors.

Pagliarulo was delighted with Scholes’ performance and is looking forward to the return of Cal Richardson who is expected to train this week after taking a short break from the game.

Slowly but surely Rosebud is building its senior squad and its player-coach has high ambitions.

“Big Ash slotted in well and had a brilliant debut,” he said.

“But the next two games are huge for this football club against Aspendale and Old Mentonians if we are to push for promotion this season.”

In NPL2 Langwarrin left John Cain Reserve with all three points courtesy of a 2-1 win over Northcote City.

A Tom Youngs penalty deep into injury time was the decider.

Youngs had drawn the sides level earlier in the match with another penalty conversion after midfielder Rogan McGeorge was fouled inside the area.

In State 1 Mornington had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Warragul United at Dallas Brooks Park last weekend.

Josh Hine put the home side ahead in the 15th minute with a neat left-foot finish but a Henri Scott brace sent the visitors into the break with a 2-1 lead.

Josh Heaton grabbed the equaliser in the 55th minute when a Luke Goulding corner dropped at his feet and the big man slotted it into the far corner.

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers’ away game on Friday night against Doncaster Rovers was postponed due to the state of the pitch.

Strikers had planned to wear black armbands in memory of former player Alex Mooy who died early last week.

Mooy was in his late 20s with an infant son.

Older brother and Socceroo midfielder Aaron Mooy posted an emotional tribute on Instagram writing “… we will miss you everyday. I’m sorry I didn’t do more to help you … and now it’s too late.”

Skye United lost 4-1 at home against Old Scotch on Saturday with Mark O’Connor scoring for Skye.

In State 3 Frankston Pines’ momentum towards the title continued with a 2-1 away win over Elwood City.

Sava Baledrokadroka and Alex Roberts scored for Pines.

In State 4 Seaford overran Somerville Eagles 5-2 on Saturday at North Seaford Reserve with Seaford’s gun striker Dylan Waugh notching a hat-trick.

Mitch Hawkins and Almand Thomas were Seaford’s other scorers while player-coach and exSeaford star Dave Greening replied for Somerville

along with Michael Clark.

Waugh is leading in the race for the league’s Golden Boot award with Greening in second place.

Baxter recorded its biggest away win of the season last weekend when it thrashed FC Noble Hurricanes 4-0 thanks to a Nat Daher hat-trick and an own goal from Hurricanes’ Emmanuel Deiwal.

The match marked the return to the starting lineup of Robbie O’Toole who was injured in the first few minutes of his only other appearance this season.

That was against Hurricanes at Baxter Park in late March.

Chelsea had to switch Friday’s home fixture against Endeavour United to Saturday due to a floodlighting problem and lost 1-0.

Chelsea’s Danny Graham was sent off in the 64th minute and the winner came 10 minutes later after multiple deflections in the box ended with an effective backheel from Endeavour’s Maqsod Mansuri.

In State 5 Aspendale Stingrays hammered South East United 7-2 at Aspendale Gardens Sports Ground on Saturday.

James Macnab (2), Adrian Pace (2), Elliott Stone, Hayden Nuhanovic and Kenan Nuhanovic scored for Aspendale.

Mount Martha went down 4-3 at home against Bunyip District last weekend.

In FFA Cup news there are no local clubs left in the national competition after Langwarrin lost 3-1 to Moreland Zebras at CB Smith Reserve last week.

The sides were locked together at 1-1 at halftime with Isiah Joseph scoring for Langy but a penalty in the 61st minute was converted by Josh Knight to put the home side ahead.

Then two rapid fire cautions for Langy’s Sammy Orritt reduced the visitors to 10 men and David Cardamone completed the scoreline in the 74th minute.
