Parking signs not so fine

Above and beyond

PARKDALE paramedic Margaret Murphy received an Ambulance Service Medal on Australia Day for outstanding service to patients. She joined several Kingston citizens recognised for their work in the community. See Pages 4 & 7. Picture: Gary Sissons

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au

A MORDIALLOC resident whose partner was fined for breaching a four-hour limit at Westfield Southland shopping centre says the parking signs are nonconforming and cannot be enforced. The man, who requested anonymity, said the supposed breach of parking rules occurred in 2012 when his partner received a $70 fine. She refused to pay and he wrote to Kingston Council to complain that the signs did not conform. It took several letters and photographs of the signs – as well as illustrations of what “proper signs” should look like – to have the matter quashed, he said. The council replied saying it had reconsidered the fine and would “treat the matter as a warning”. But, sticking to its guns, the council refused to concede that the signs did not conform – even though it had backed down on the fine. Kingston Council’s planning and development general manager Jonathan Guttmann told The News regulations required signs at entry-and-exit points of parking areas to meet required wording and design. “Southland shopping centre has these signs,” he said. “In addition, further signage – which is provided as a courtesy but not required – is provided throughout the parking areas. “The signs in question are courtesy

signs only and correct signage is provided at entry-and-exit points as required.” In his letter to the council, the man said: “None of the signs displayed in the parking area [near Coles] comply with Section 204 of the Road Safety Road Rules 2009. “As such, it is my belief the fine has been issued unlawfully.” While agreeing with council advice that motorists have a responsibility to carefully check parking restrictions prior to parking, the man said: “I accept this advice as valid but may I respectfully suggest that it is the responsibility of a government body enforcing parking laws to do so in compliance with relevant legislation.” Westfield Southland shopping centre did not respond to questions about the parking signs before deadline.

Beach seen: Sand dredged from the mouth of Patterson River will be added to Carrum beach to fight erosion.

More sand for beach combats erosion A COMMUNITY information session about a project to renourish Carrum beach will be held this month by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning at the Carrum Surf Life Saving Club. DELWP senior project manager Jill Garvey said sand renourishment is one of the most effective ways to protect Port Phillip Bay beaches from erosion. “The beach renourishment will assist in providing erosion protection for the foreshore along with a wider beach for the community to enjoy. “Beaches are a naturally dynamic environment and coastal erosion is a process impacting beaches around the world.”

About 5000 cubic metres of sand, sourced from Park Victoria’s dredging operations at the mouth of the Patterson River, will be used to expand the foreshore. The renourishment works on Carrum beach are slated to begin at the end of April over four weeks if the weather is suitable. The community drop-in information session will be hosted at the Carrum Surf Life Saving Club, 15 Old Post Office Lane, Carrum on Wednesday 8 February, 5.30-7pm. Anyone unable to attend the drop-in session can obtain information on the project by emailing jill.garvey@delwp. vic.gov.au or by calling DELWP on 13 61 86.

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Seal roams free on beach trips AN adult bull seal that has become a regular attraction at Dromana is now also visiting Chelsea beach. Arcto has become a regular attraction for beachgoers, but the rules are: look but don’t touch. The adult bull seal first landed on the beach in Dromana two summers ago and this year took up residence for four days early in January. Last Friday (27 January) he decided to make the trip to Chelsea. On warm days beachgoers vying for their own bit of sand make it a bit hard to avoid the Australian fur seal, although Arcto seems happy enough to share. “This is Arcto’s third straight summer at Dromana and we want to make sure people stay at least 30 metres from him if he does come back,” Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) authorised officer Abby Smith said. Protected under the Wildlife Act, onlookers must stay at

least 30 metres (dogs 50m) from Arcto and not touch or feed him. Ms Smith said she had “checked” the seal when he first appeared this year and found him to be in “fair to average health”. “He is a wild animal in his natural environment and we do not wish to unnecessarily interact with him,” she said. “While we understand some people might be curious or excited to see Arcto, the best chance of him staying in a non-stressed state is if people keep their distance. “We ask also those who might have dogs in the area to take a common sense approach by using a leash and remaining vigilant if Arcto is nearby. Ms Smith said the seal could have “all the time it needs” on the beach before getting “back into the swim of things”. For more information on the regulations, see delwp.vic. gov.au or call 136 186. Sick, injured or distressed marine wildlife can be reported on 0447 158 676.

KINGSTON ratepayers will foot the full bill to move soil containing fragments of asbestos from Chelsea’s Bicentennial Park to a tip. Kingston Council was forced to remove a dirt pile from the park after it emerged that soil taken from a Glenola Rd site in Chelsea earmarked for a new kindergarten contained traces of the potentially harmful material. The Glenola Rd site is leased by council from the state government and council CEO John Nevins said he would ask the Department of Education to pay for the $90,000 outlaid to remove the soil from Bicentennial Park. Department of Education spokesman Steve Tolley told The News the state government is pitching in $2 million towards the construction a new kindergarten at Glenola Rd and “there is no scope for this contribution to be increased”. “The soil in Bicentennial Park was not moved there by the department,” Mr Tolley said. “Health and safety in the park is an issue for Kingston Council.” He said the department would ensure the site is safe before a kindergarten is built at Glenola Rd near Chelsea Primary School. “Once the City of Kingston detected asbestos in the soil of this site, the Victorian School Building Authority ran precautionary air quality tests at Chelsea Primary School.

Dirt piles: Soil at Bicentennial Park before it was moved on again.

“No airborne asbestos fibres were detected.” Mr Nevins has said he has appointed “an independent expert” to investigate how asbestos-contaminated soil was transported to Bicentennial Park in October last year. The soil was moved and dumped at an Environment Protection Authority approved tip in December. Mr Nevins says independent expert advice stated any risk to the public from the asbestos fragments was “very minimal”. “It is believed the source of the contaminants was most likely historical use of lead-based paint at the site, building material from a former house demolished at the site or from fill material brought to the site sometime in the past,” the CEO said in a statement. “Results indicated that isolated areas of the site contained small amounts of asbestos and heavy metals — lead and zinc — in the surface fill material.” Council estimates the full cost of the clean-up of both the Glenola Rd and Bicentennial Park sites will be $813,500.

Kingston’s top citizens SOME of the City of Kingston’s most deserved community volunteers and advocates have been recognised in the 2017 Kingston Australia Day Awards. Four awards were announced during the Australia Day breakfast last Thursday (26 January) at the Kingston City Hall - Citizen of the Year, Outstanding Citizen Award, Community Group of the Year and Young Community Group of the Year. Presenting the awards, Kingston mayor Cr David Eden said the winners were selected from a fantastic group of nominees, all of whom had helped make Kingston a stronger community. “The winners, and indeed all of the nominees, have made outstanding contributions across a wide range of areas in Kingston,” Cr Eden said. “We have some amazing volunteers in Kingston and these awards are a great way to thank them for their efforts and acknowledge the positive impact they make.”

Environment protector: Citizen of the Year Mary Rimington. Picture: Gary Sissons

Citizen of the Year For many of the newcomers to the beautiful, leafy bayside suburbs of Mordialloc and neighbouring Beaumaris, the name Mary Rimington may not be familiar. But if it were not for the ongoing efforts of Ms Rimington and many of her fellow environment saviours, these areas would not be what they are today. Ms Rimington has dedicated more than forty years to protecting the area’s environment and heritage and has been instrumental in many projects to protect the area’s special flora and fauna and keep inappropriate develop-

ment at bay. She has been an active member of several environment groups, including the Mordialloc Beaumaris Conservation League, Kingston Conservation & Environment Coalition, Australian Conservation Foundation, Environment Victoria and the Port Phillip Conservation Foundation. This is not the first time Ms Rimington has been recognised for her tireless

work. In1995 she received an OAM for her services to conservation and the environment and in 2001 was included in the Victorian Woman’s Trust publication Ordinary Woman Extraordinary Lives. Some of the highlights of her time as an environmental campaigner within the city of Kingston include successfully lobbying for the closure of sewage works that degraded Dandenong

honoured with Australia Day awards As developers set their sights on pushing density limits, Ms Rimington is not letting down her guard and has promised to keep working hard to maintain Mordialloc’s appealing fishing village atmosphere. But like most people who volunteer their time for others, she doesn’t like being singled out and acknowledges that the fight requires a team effort. “It’s a bit embarrassing to be honoured like this, because we don’t do it for that reason,” she said. “We are a small group of people but it is a team effort and we work together to protect the natural environment.”

Outstanding Citizen Award Lifelong Cheltenham resident and sports enthusiast Colin Anderson is “pretty chuffed” to be honoured in this year’s Kingston Australia Day awards, and that statement pretty much sums up this quiet achiever. But more than anything, Mr Anderson hopes that by giving “ordinary” people recognition for their community service others will be inspired to get involved. “Without volunteers, kids would be left without things to do, and we need to help kids keep doing things that are positive and healthy,” he said. “Keep them off the streets and give them something to be involved in.” Mr Anderson has made an enormous contribution to several Cheltenham clubs in the sporting codes of football, cricket and baseball spanning more than 50 years. As coach, committee member, president, club manager and general

dog’s body volunteer, he has rolled up his sleeves at the Cheltenham Cricket Club, the Cheltenham Baseball Club, the Cheltenham Football Netball Club and the Cheltenham Football Club. His years of dedicated service have earned him life membership at four different clubs and seen him make a positive difference in the lives of thousands of junior sports players in the area. Although he was a baseball and cricket player himself, he branched out into football when his own two boys showed an interest in sport and became involved with Vic Kick, which later became Auskick. His willingness to give his time and efforts to sport soon saw him take on official roles at Cheltenham football and cricket clubs. He is also the editor of Inside Football but still manages to maintain a close connection with the other codes while taking a back seat so that others can take the lead. Mr Anderson acknowledges that volunteers’ contributions to sport are what helps keep local clubs alive, but If he could change anything it would be the red tape and bureaucratic controls that often deter the right people from getting involved. “It’s getting harder and harder to be involved in local sport, so I really hope that these awards keep inspiring people to try,” he said. Community Group of the Year The Dingley Village Community Association has shown that the power of the people can make a difference. The group was recognised in the

Australia Day ceremony for the many years they have put into preserving protecting and improving Dingley Village. Chairman David Madill said that together they had tackled a broad range of local issues including planning, lobbying for upgraded streetscapes, reducing the noise impacts of Moorabbin Airport on nearby residents and improving public parklands. The Dingley Village Association plays as active role on the Moorabbin Airport Aviation Consultative Committee and makes regular submissions to all levels of government to ensure the character and environment of Dingley Village is enhanced. Mr Madill said the group was prepared to oppose all inappropriate development to protect Dingley’s village atmosphere and was keeping a close eye on the recent proposal to rezone the Kingwood Golf Club land for residential development. “I think the recognition that the people who live in a community should have a say in what goes on in the community, is really important,” he said.

New recruits on way to fight fires EIGHT Patterson River Fire Station recruits are among 30 graduates to become career firefighters with the Country Fire Authority. They started at the station in December and took part this month in a training program at the CFA’s Bangholme depot. Two of the recruits are Adam Lutz, 40, of Keysborough, and Samantha Grant, 46, of Langwarrin. Mr Lutz was a sheet metal worker and foreman before joining the CFA. He is a keen surfer, and loves bike riding, restoring cars and spending time with his family. “I’m looking forward to change, challenge and playing a strong role in the community,” he said. Ms Grant was formerly a secondary school teacher. She’s learning to surf, and keen to get back to being a Guide Dog puppy raiser. “I want to give back to the community in a different way to spread my wings and challenge myself with a change of career,” she said. The recruits – including a record 10 women – graduated in front of family and friends at the Victorian Emergency Management Training Centre, Craigieburn. With eight women graduating from a course on 30 November, the CFA has taken on 18 women in the past two courses – the most to graduate as CFA firefighters in the one year. They will each take up placements at one of 19 fire stations around the state, working side by side with volunteers at some of CFA’s 35 integrated brigades in outer Melbourne and regional centres. CFA recruit course coordinator Christian Thorley said the celebration “marked the end of a lot of hard work and the beginning of a challenging and diverse career for these new firefighters”. “These recruits have demonstrated impeccable diligence and commitment to becoming

Adam Lutz

firefighters throughout their training, and it was wonderful to celebrate this special day with them all,” Mr Thorley said. “The atmosphere was electric – it shows what a great group of people these new firefighters are and signals the wonderful contributions they will make in their new communities.”

Samantha Grant

The recruits will contribute towards the state government’s commitment to add 350 new firefighters to the CFA’s ranks. The recruits come from a range of backgrounds including defence, trades, technicians, health, emergency services, education and management.

Forensic examination: Police look for clues where a man’s body was discovered at Chelsea beach.

Body found at beach

Bayside News PAGE 6

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 1 February 2017

THE body of a man found in the sand dunes at Chelsea beach, Saturday 28 January, wearing a black suit, had been there “several days”, according to police. It was found near the end of The Avenue about 4.40pm. Leading Senior Constable Colin Pyne, of Chelsea police, said the man, in his mid-30s, had since been identified and relatives notified. Police closed a section of the beach after the body was found. Ambulance Victoria crews which rushed to the scene later took a woman, in her 20s, to Dandenong hospital after she suffered a seizure at the scene. The cause of the man’s death is being investigated by the coroner, but it is not being treated as suspicious by police.

Medal for fantastic paramedic PARKDALE resident and MICA paramedic Margaret Murphy has been recognised with an Ambulance Service Medal in this year’s Australia Day Honours List for her outstanding work around improving patient outcomes in cardiac arrest cases, and service “beyond the norm”. Mrs Murphy has spent the past 20 years as a MICA paramedic and was appointed as a clinical support officer in 2013 to work in pre-hospital and paramedic education, research and continuous improvement. She has made significant contributions to a number of projects as part of advancing practice at Ambulance Victoria, particularly in improving outcomes for patients who suffer cardiac arrest. Part of that work has been studying CPR procedures and cardiac arrest survival rates overseas and implementing changes that will improve survival rates in Victoria. “Some places around the world that have great survival rates don’t necessarily have vastly different CPR or treatment practices, they just have different ways of linking things together, and we can learn from that,” she said. Those changes include better community education, better access to defibrillators, better coordination of services and better practices which lead to more confident paramedics. To support ongoing and continuous improvements in patient care,

Police patrol Escapees bash and rob Bonbeach man A BONBEACH man waiting to be picked up by friends on Nepean Highway in the late evening, Wednesday 25 January, was assaulted by three young men thought to be escapees from the Malmsbury youth justice centre. The 45-year-old told police a brown or beige four-wheel-drive pulled up and the men got out and approached him carrying a baseball bat and a knife. He said they demanded he hand over his bag and, when he refused, struck him in the stomach with the bat. The man then handed over the bag containing his mobile phone, laptop and clothing. He was not seriously injured. Later that night, the same men are thought to have stolen a 2015 Ford station wagon from Church St, Carrum. They were apprehended by police later in the week. Honoured: Michelle Murphy has been honoured for her research work and going above and beyond her duty as a paramedic. Picture: Gary Sissons

she has been involved in a range of endeavours including as a member of Ambulance Victoria’s cardiac arrest working group, the EXACT (Reduction of oxygen after cardiac arrest) trial and also the ‘Restart a Heart’ day group. She was an important contributor to the redevelopment of the organisation’s clinical practice guidelines and teaching and training delivery to

improve paramedic understanding and management of cardiac arrest in Victoria. Mrs Murphy said she was “honoured” and humbled to be recognised for her work, and hopes to continue driving change and improvement in the ambulance service. “Until we have 100 per cent survival rate there are things we can improve on.” Liz Bell

It wasn’t hearing loss, it was just earwax!

Burglaries concern A SERIES of commercial break-ins in Braeside and Moorabbin is concerning police. Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Cashman, of Kingston CIU, said the robberies occurred overnight Friday and Saturday 20 and 21 January. One was in Downard St, Braeside, where offenders forced the doors of a scrap metal business. It is not known what was stolen. Cash and power tools were stolen from an auto mechanics in Industrial Drive, Braeside.

Burglars climbed through an unlocked window to enter an auto panel and repairs business in Keys Rd, Moorabbin, overnight Tuesday 24 January. After rummaging through offices looking for valuables and unsuccessfully trying to force open a safe, the offenders stole two cars: a Mazda 3 and a Nissan Skyline. Another auto parts suppliers, in Wren Rd, Moorabbin, was broken into over the 20-22 January weekend. Thieves smashed a hole in the front window to gain entry but it is unclear what was stolen. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Jewellery raid THREE offenders used a steering lock to smash the front window of a jewellery store in Aspendale Gardens, overnight Sunday 29 January. Once inside they smashed several glass display cabinets to steal watches and jewellery items. The men escaped in a maroon Ford or Holden sedan. Police are unsure of the value of the haul. Damage to the business is valued at $3000. Call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Salvos hit THIEVES used a stolen car to ram through the back gate of the Salvos store in Hartwood Ct, Chelsea Heights, on Australia Day morning. They forced a back door and rummaged through offices, then cracked open the safe to steal the previous day’s takings – described as a “large amount” – as well as petty cash.

WHAT’S NEW...

Drivers make all the difference WE often underestimate how important the ability to travel is to a person’s quality of life. For most people the ability to drive a car, catch a train or order a taxi isn’t given a second thought. But for those who experience transport disadvantage, the inability to get around may leave them feeling disempowered, isolated and unable to access basic services. That’s why Peninsula Transport Assist (PTA) was created five years ago, and helps clients from as young as 11 years of age to nearly 100. With the increase in clients and constant enquiries for more services every day, the team at PTA are looking for new volunteers to help combat the transport disadvantage on the Mornington Peninsula. Manager PTA, Clemens Unger, says volunteer drivers are needed for a number of reasons. “We want to recruit drivers for everything from taking people to doctor’s appointments to shopping and hairdressing, whatever they need,” said Mr Unger. “Peninsula Transport Assist is like sleeping beauty; we do a lot of good things but people often hear about us by accident, and a lot of word of mouth. We currently have a pool of around 60 volunteers which are people who use their own cars to drive clients to their appointments. However, we also have a small mini bus service which we need a driver for.” Currently the PTA has close to 300 clients from Portsea to Carrum Downs and receive daily enquires from people wanting to sign up for the service. “This puts a lot of pressure on our current driver pool so we are recruiting new volunteers at the moment,” said Mr Unger. “Skills our volunteers learn include safer driving techniques and minibus handling, techniques for assisting clients with varying degrees of mobility, risk management techniques, volunteer rights and responsibilities. In addition to driving, our volunteers also provide support to the clients once they reach their destination. This may include waiting for the client during appointments or attending social events with them. In this way our volunteers can act both as drivers and an alternative to paid carers.” To find out more about Peninsula Transport Assist or become a volunteer, contact the office via email peninsulatransportassist@gmail.com or phone 9708 8241. www.peninsulatransportassist.org

Transport Assist is an innovative vehicle and volunteer sharing network that pools community resources together. By enabling community organisations to drive further for cheaper, we help combat transport disadvantage throughout the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region.

Peninsula Transport Assist provides: • Volunteer assisted transport for residents to access medical appointments and other essential services • Community bus hire

• Bus drivers available

LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEER DRIVERS AND VOLUNTEER BUS DRIVERS *Reimbursement available toward car expenses, with own vehicle use.

The Network helps community organisations with their transport needs through 4 key programs:

Ship on way for hydrogen export Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au WHILE politicians and environmentalists are on a collision course over plans to build a coal gasification plant at Hastings, Kawasaki Heavy Industries is already building a test vessel to carry liquefied hydrogen. The ship now being developed by the Japanese company is designed to carry 2500 cubic metres of the gas which will be produced with brown coal from the Latrobe Valley. Because of hydrogen’s high evaporation rate the ship will have a double shell to provide vacuum insulation. Kawasaki says it will have the Liquefied hydrogen transportation pioneering test vessel ready by 2020, the same year the state government says a brown coal to hydrogen test plant will be operating in the Latrobe Valley. Hastings MP Neale Burgess says the Kawasaki supply chain could eventually see “long coal trains or a coal slurry pipe bringing huge amounts of coal to Hastings, building of a huge coal gasification plant at Hastings and the produced hydrogen being shipped through Western Port”. Mr Burgess’s opposition to the plant being built at Hastings or anywhere else in Western Port contrasts with that of his federal Liberal colleague Greg Hunt who has only said he is opposed to Crib Point being “reindustrialised”. Mr Hunt has said he is opposed to the Port of Hastings becoming “a coal port”, but Kawasaki wants to export hydrogen, not coal.

SHIPS being built and planned by Kawasaki Heavy Industries to carry liquid hydrogen extracted from Victoria’s brown coal could one day be operating out of the Port of Hastings. The top “test” vessel will carry 2500 cubic metres of liquid hydrogen and the larger vessel, below, is designed for 160,000 cubic metres.

Kawasaki is already planning a much larger ship to carry hydrogen if its test vessel is a success. Without setting completion date, the company says it aims to build a ship capable of carrying 160,000 cubic metres of liquefied hydrogen.

Seen as heralding “the dawn of a new era … when hydrogen comes into wide use in society, hydrogen produced overseas at a low cost will need to be transported in large amounts”, the company’s website states. Environmentalists argue that processing

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mrs George Shepherd on the mend Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE many friends of Mrs George Shepherd, of Somerville, will be pleased to learn that she is again at home and slowly recovering from the painful operation which she recently underwent. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will sell on Thursday next 8th last at “Sunnyside” Mornington Road, contents of 10 roomed villa, on account of Mrs A. S. Panter. Owing to this property having been sold, everything will be unreserved. *** A GRAND cencert in aid of the funds of the Frankston Methodist Church will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening next. We understand that a good programme is being arranged, and as there will be good moonlight, there will doubtless be a good attendance. *** IT is to be hoped that a good number of willing hands will respond to the call for volunteers to assist in clearing the Frankston cemetery of the rubbish that is so rapidly overgrowing everthing else and rendering it peculiarly liable to be swept clean by any fire that may start in the vicinity. Those willing are asked to be at the cemetery this afternoon. *** ALFRED Johnson, a foreigner, who claimed to be a Finn, and who had been making himself objectionable to the townspeople for a couple of days by stopping pedestrians and begging

money, with which he afterwards obtained liquor, was arrested a Frankston on Wednesday. He appeared before Caps Sherlock J.P, on Thursday morning on charges of offensive behaviour and vagrancy. Const Ryan informed the magistrate that Johansen was an alien with no papers to show his nationality and no passport, as required by the War Precautions Act. He had, as well as stopping people in the street, visited numerous houses, demanding money etc. At houses where no men were present the female inmates were alarmed by the prisoner, who was generally drunk. He was drunk when arrested, and on the way to the watch house he violently resisted and used atrocious language. On the first charge the prisoner, who pleaded guilty was fined 20s or 7 days imprisonment, and on the second charge he was given 14 days imprisonment. *** A SEASIDE FATALITY. - DISAPPEARANCE OF TWO BOYS. A commission of inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of two boys named Montgomery Robinson 18, and Andrew McNeil, 17, at Carrum, on Saturday, 1st April, 1916, was held before Mr Cohen, P.M. at the City Police Court on Wednesday. Constable P. B. McDonald, Chelsea, stated that after he received news on 2nd April of the fact that the boys were missing he went to Carrum to assist in

the search, and also instructed Const Pattison to go. He could not notify the neighboring police stations as the telephones were not available on Sunday, and he considered that the other stations would be unable to do more than he was doing. He did not see the necessity for hiring a boat to search the water. Senior Const. McCormack, who was notified at Frankston of the fatality at 9am on 2nd April, said he patrolled the beaches where it was expected the boat would be washed up. He searched on Sunday and Monday. Const Pattison also gave evidence of having searched the beaches for traces of the missing boys. William Vagg farmer said that the boys asked him for a loan of the dinghy for the purpose of fishing. He assisted them to launch the boat and saw them at various times about a mile and a half from the shore. The water was perfectly calm. After dark set in Mr and Mrs Robinson came to him and asked him about the boat. He told them that the boys were alright, as the boat could not be sunk or capsized. He remained on the beach until daylight on the Sunday morning with Mr Robinson. Witness said that, in his opinion a piece of rope which was produced in court and which had been attached to the anchor of the boat, was cut and not worn away. Mr Jones: was the boat seaworthy? Witness: I would not risk my life in it unless it was.

Thomas Alexander Robinson, 35 Burnley Street Burnley, father to one of the boys, said the failure on the part of the police to conduct a proper search appeared to be due to the absence of telephonic communication on Sunday. Rachel Elizabeth Robinson, wife of the previous witness, said that she accepted the assurance of Mr Vagg, that the boat was seaworthy. Had she seen the boat before it was found on the beach she would have had grave misgivings. After other evidence had been given, the inquiry was closed. Mr Cohen will forward his report to the Governor in Council. *** Our Letter Box. TO THE EDITOR. Sir, Having spent several months in your interesting little town, may I crave space in your widly-read journal, to comment both eulogistically and critically on a certain very popular patriotic body – The Frankston “Wattle” Club. I was told this club was composed of mostly ladies, who spared neither time nor effort to entertain and cheer such of our gallant soldiers who found their way Frankstonwards, and also, managed and catered for numerous social evenings in aid of various patriotic objects. This sounded admirable and I immediately took steps to cultivate the acquaintance of the workers in what is rather a unique institute. I found the ladies worthy of all

praise, cheerful, and painstaking, most of them having more than a superficial interest in-as-much as nearly all have their nearest and dearest in the dread danger zone; so they work not only with their head and hands, but with hearts deeply stirred as only they can who have given their loved ones to risk all in our glorious cause. So much for praise. Deeply regretting the need of any adverse criticism of such an otherwise splendid movement, I must point out one serious defect. Unless I have been misinformed, sincerely do I hope I may have been, upon the committee of the “Wattle” Club there is a young man, unmarried and apparently eligible for active service. Surely, so glaring an incongruity would not be tolerated. Could the wives, sisters and sweethearts of our gallant boys, sit in friendly confab with one who could, yet would not go to their assistance. Is it not rather an insult to those heroes to even suggest such a thing. Yes, Mr Editoir, the idea is too ridiculous, My informant must certainly have been mistaken. However, as the belief is fairly general in your district, and is distinctly detrimental to the Club’s interests, pethaps I may be forgiven for thus making the rumor public and allowing these worthy ladies the opportunity of contradicting the mis-statement, if such it be. Yours faithfully, A.I F. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 3 February, 1917

Brittain dominates again PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association star Chris Brittain singlehandedly defeated Moorooduc in Provincial cricket on Saturday after smashing an incredible 232 for Baxter. The master all-rounder hit 18 fours and 14 sixes in Baxter’s massive total of 7/416 after chasing Moorooduc’s 168. Coming into the Round 8 match, Brittain had already hit two massive back-to-back hundreds against Mornington and Crib Point. Those knocks prompted former Victorian wicketkeeper and South Australia coach Darren ‘Chuck’ Berry to say on Melbourne radio that Brittain was the best country batsman he had seen. As well as having knocks of 155 and 181 coming into this match, Brittain had also scored half-centuries against Sorrento and Langwarrin. Chris Brittain has hit an amazing 786 runs this season in eight innings, as well as snaring 21 wickets. It’s hard to remember a single player dominating with bat and ball to this degree in MPCA cricket – names like Scott Phillips and Paul Hartle spring to mind but it’s doubtful we’ve ever witnessed anything like this. His skipper at the other end, Daniel Warwick, who has also dominated this season, hit 90 runs in Baxter’s massive win. The Ducs’ used nine bowlers in an effort to remove Brittain. The prized scalp was eventually picked-up by skipper Ken Cremen. Langwarrin continues to defy the odds and notched up yet another victory on Saturday, this time against Pearcedale to claim the Bushman’s Cup. Defending 180, Matt Prosser had his best ever game with the ball for the Kangas, snatching 7/65 in 25.1 overs to play a game-changing role in helping to dismiss the Panthers for 154. Skipper Travis Campbell got his side away to a flyer and bowled sensationally to claim 2/34 from 16 overs. Kaine Smith top-scored for the visitors with an unbeaten 47 while Brad Trotter opened with 40.

Mornington made tough work of it but it was enough to get the points against Mt Eliza in a thriller. Chasing 167 for victory, Mornington picked up the winning runs with one wicket in hand. Nick Johnson with an unbeaten 25 was the key player in the victory when things got tight at the end, while Brad McDonald top scored with 46. Justin Grant was again superb with

the ball for the Mounties, claiming 5/65 from 36.2 overs. Rob Maskiell picked up 3/23 from 13. Crib Point picked up a much-needed win against Long Island, beating them outright to claim the maximum 20 points. The Magpies made 145 in reply to Long Islands 95 before rolling them again for just 82. The Pies needed just over 30 runs to

claim the outright win. Crib Point skipper Matt Blake picked up 5/18 in the first innings and Jacob Cook snared 4/21 in the second dig. The Pies are still 20 points outside of the top four. Peninsula Old Boys successfully defended its 8/277 against Sorrento, bowling out the Sorras with three overs to go for 251.

Leigh Poholke top scored for Sorrento with 71 while Jedd Flack hit 44. James LaBrooy was the best of the Old Boys’ bowlers with 3/29. Pines got the job done against Somerville, winning by 26 runs. Chasing 187 for victory, Somerville resumed on 1/15 and lost wickets at important times thereafter. Nick Wilcox took 4/36 for Pines and Alex Coad claimed 2/31.

on and finished at 6/51 to claim victory. Unfortunately for Boneo, which is also winless for the season and fighting relegation, it was unable to take advantage of its upper hand at the close of the opening day against Delacombe Park. Boneo bowled out Delacombe Park for 132 on the opening day of the match and resumed day two at 1/12. However, 1/12 quickly became 3/29 and then 5/39. Boneo was eventually bowled out for 86. Stuey Peck top-scored for the Pandas with 24, while Delacombe skipper Ricky Ramsdale dominated with the ball, taking 5/30 from 24.3 overs. Andrew Stapleton also played a ma-

jor role for the Parkers, claiming 3/21 from 17 overs. Boneo is now alone at the bottom of the table. Rosebud somehow successfully defended its shocking score of 113 against Seaford Tigers, winning by 11 runs. The Buds batted 66 overs for 113 last week before rolling the Tigers for just 102. David James top-scored for the Tigers with 49. The master who is Jason Nagel was superb once again for the Buds, picking up 6/46 from 24 overs. Rosebud was 5/56 in its second innings before play came to an end. Baden Powell recorded a fantastic victory against Mt Martha.

The Reds were in early trouble against the Braves, resuming at 3/32, chasing Baden Powell’s first innings total of 165. Things didn’t get much better for Mt Martha, bowled out for just 66 with Brett Wilkinson top scoring with 14. Michael Ballard was on fire for the Braves with 6/20 from 15.5 overs. Main Ridge skipper Gareth Wyatt turned back the clock and scored 131 for his side to help them to victory against Flinders. On a week where it was announced that former Victorian Sheffield Shield player and Sorrento coach Nick Jewell had signed with the club for two years from next season, the Ridge

were up and about on Saturday. Chasing 128 for victory, the Ridge resumed at 3/32 with Shaun Foster on 41. He finished with 70 while Wyatt dominated at the other end. Sam Lyons provided wonderful support also with a fine 64. Main Ridge finished at 8/291. Matty Burns was the pick of the Sharks’ bowlers with 3/26 from 15 overs. Red Hill recorded an easy victory against Heatherhill. Defending 201, Red Hill had its opponent 2/17 overnight. The Hills were eventually rolled for just 106 with Brett Maxwell top scoring with 28. Simon Dart collected 4/16 for the Hills off eight overs and Glenn Collett helped himself to 4/53 from 18 overs.

Demons get their first win

DISTRICT

By IT Gully RYE avoided a reverse outright attempt by Seaford to win its first game of the season in MPCA District cricket. Resuming at 5/111 on day two of the match and chasing Seaford’s first innings total of 74, Rye was eventually bowled out for 150, giving them a 76-run first innings lead. Seaford was always going to go for a reverse outright and scored 7/214 in 38 overs before sending Rye back into bat. Faisal Payenda smashed 92 and Chris Cleef hit 63 in Seaford’s second innings. Just needing to bat out the remainder of the day, Rye was able to hang

The Yabbies are on a roll SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully TYABB continued its big move on Saturday with a commanding win against second placed Ballam Park in MPCA Sub District cricket. The Yabbies have charged into the top four on the back of a couple of impressive victories. On Saturday, Tyabb belted Ballam Park. After scoring 9/270 with Jarrod White (72), Michael Edwards (50) and Nick Taranto (54) all dominating, the

Yabbies set about defending the total. When Tyabb’s Jai Gleeson picked up Stuart Plunkett for a duck, the Knights were in all sorts of trouble. Gleeson finished with the impressive figures of 4/37 from 18 overs, including eight maidens. Steve Worthington was outstanding for the Knights with a team-high 55. Hastings extended its lead at the top of the ladder with a 49-run win against Carrum. The Blues only made 149 with the bat but had Carrum 2/7 overnight.

Things didn’t get much better for the Lions, eventually bowled out for 100 in 60.4 overs. Mitchell Floyd finished with 3/36 for the Blues and Ryan McNamara chipped in with 3/20 from 9.4 overs. Luke Hewitt also claimed 2/19 from 20 overs. Daniel Graves was the best of the Carrum batsmen, making 20 batting at 11. Frankston YCW recorded a massive victory against Skye. The Stonecats hit 7/258 on the open-

ing day of the match with Paul Bradley back and scoring 89, while Brett Hudgson hit 55. Skye lost 3/36 in reply before storming to 200 with Anthony Craddock scoring 68 and Chris Milne 51. Lai Leaunoa was the star with the ball for the Stonecats with 5/29 from 17 overs. Dromana was smashed by Carrum Downs, which wasn’t surprising considering they resumed at 7/35 chasing 135. The Hoppers did put up a bit of a

fight early on the second day, getting to 96. Carrum Downs batted the day out and finished at 5/136. Tootgarook also was belted by Balnarring. Resuming at 0/6 and chasing 218 for victory, Tootgarook was bowled out for just 85. Geoff Bradshaw was the best of the saints’ bowlers with 3/13 from 15 overs, while Lee Murdoch and Brenton Taylor picked up a couple of wickets each.

Armour targets striker, four for Mornington SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SKYE United gaffer Billy Armour has his sights set on more new signings as he prepares for the upcoming State 3 South-East campaign. Armour already has enticed Johnny Andrinopoulos and Jason Nowakowski to join last year’s State 4 South champion and has a number of triallists under the microscope. Andrinopoulos last played with Kingston City in 2015 and can play in central defence or as a defensive midfielder. “Johnny’s locked in which is good. His fitness levels are getting there and as soon as he gets his touch back he’ll be a really good signing for us,” said Armour. Nowakowski played with Endeavour United last season and is a right winger. “He’s got a really good engine and he’s got that bit of quality that we need,” said Armour. Triallists include Faheem Essa, a striker from Glen Waverley, Brazilian midfielder Anderson de Aranjo Stoze and Sandown Lions duo Khor Pal Gatluak and Wumjuck John Jang. Gatluak can play in central defence or at right back and Jang plays up front. Gatluak made a favourable impression in last week’s friendly against

Baxter at Baxter Park. “He was quite solid to be honest and considering that Baxter are very strong up front and can also be physical Khor matched it with them so he could be a good asset for us,” said Armour. “It looks like it’s going to be a very even league and I hear that quite a few teams have strengthened. “Obviously you hear about Knox who have boys from the Pines and other local clubs so by all accounts they’ll be a strong side. “Because we’ve kept most of the squad from last year I think we’ll be competitive and hopefully with a few additions we’ll have more depth. “If I can get another striker in we won’t be too far away. “We had somebody that we agreed with but he’s not answering his phone now.” Forwards Matt Wilson and Alex Roberts are likely departures from last year’s squad. Travel issues have forced Wilson’s hand while Roberts is rumoured to be keen to play at a higher level. Armour’s team manager is Eric Wilson, Liam George is reserves coach and Travis Mitchell is George’s assistant. Armour and George attended an FFA/AFC C licence coaching course on Saturday so former senior assistant

Phil McGuinness was in charge of the squad that competed in the 2017 Steve Wallace Cup. The annual tournament was again hosted by Mornington at its Dallas Brooks Park headquarters. It drew a large crowd and the day’s proceeds went to Frankston Hospital’s emergency department. The home side triumphed for the fourth year running having reached the final due to a late goal that edged out a gallant Baxter 1-0. State 4 South’s Baxter surprised many onlookers with wins over State 2 South East club Berwick City and State 3 South East outfit Skye United. Baxter’s arch rival and fellow State 4 side, Rosebud Heart, also proved tough to break down only losing 1-0 to State 1 opponents Casey Comets and Langwarrin. Comets joined Mornington in the final due to superior goal difference over Langwarrin. The final’s decisive moment came in the second half when Stefan Soler, on trial from Frankston Pines, slipped the ball down the right to Mornington livewire Wayne Gordon who had made a diagonal run and as he gained possession the offside appeals from Comets players and bench fell on deaf ears. Gordon squared the ball to Michael Freeman whose low first-time strike

settled the issue. The downside on the day was the serious left leg injury suffered by Skye United’s Lachlan Campbell who fractured his tibia and also suffered two small fractures of his fibia.

In other news Langwarrin will welcome two more imports tomorrow (Tuesday) when midfielders Connor Belger and Paul Speed from AFC Liverpool fly in to Melbourne. Gun Langy striker Rachel Stirton has signed with women’s National Premier League outfit Southern United. The 22-year-old is the younger sister of Dandenong City striker David Stirton and partner of Bentleigh Greens striker Ryan Paczkowski. Goalscoring is in her DNA as her father, Iain, was a striker with Scottish club Rangers. Peninsula Strikers’ English import, Danny Brooks, debuted for the club at the Wallace Cup and the coaching staff were delighted with his performance. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder from Liverpool lacks nothing in confidence and has already declared that he’ll score at least 20 goals this season.

first athlete to be awarded a full scholarship to the Mornington Peninsula Sports Academy allowing him to participate in testing and several programs offered by the academy, an outstanding achievement. Marley is going into his sixth season at Western Port and found his passion for the sport playing domestically in Rowville. “I played domestic growing up, but I’m not originally from the Somerville area, I’m from Rowville. I played domestic over there and just loved it. Then moved here and started playing rep,” said Marley Thompson. The boys are now going through grading for the upcoming season which will commence on February 03 and are hoping to add another trophy to their cabinet.
