Skyrail protests No Sky Rail: Frankston Line spokesman Willem Popp at a protest last year against any rail over road plans. Picture: Gary Sissons

Line avoids sky rail Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LONG stretches of the Frankston line will not see sky rail erected but an 8-metre high elevated rail bridge will be built for about one kilometre between Kananook and Frankston train stations. The state government announced over the weekend that rail under road is the way ahead to separate road from rail at Bonbeach and Edithvale. The Level Crossing Removal Authority said a “hybrid design” will be built

at Seaford by lowering Seaford Rd and the rail line will be “placed on a planted embankment to separate road from rail”. Labor Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said the government had been guided by engineering advice when deciding how best to remove 11 level crossings along the Frankston line. Construction works will begin at the Skye Rd/Overton Rd level crossing intersection later this year. “We’re fast tracking this crossing to reduce congestion and make Frankston

for both the Edithvale and Bonbeach crossings and a compromise for Seaford,” Mr Popp said on Facebook on Sunday. “So much hard work has gone in to get to this point, by many people with so much support from those in our community.” No decision for Carrum has been declared yet but the government says a trench cannot be dug due to the nearby Patterson River. A rail bridge may be built at a new crossing at McLeod Rd in Carrum and the Station St crossing could be shut and

safer, sooner,” Ms Allan said in a statement. The government also announced early last week that roads will be separated from rail at level crossings in Mentone and Cheltenham by digging trenches for the rail line to travel below ground level. No Sky Rail: Frankston Line spokesman Willem Popp took to Facebook on Sunday to say the group had “won” its argument against elevated rail along the Frankston line. “Public pressure and persistence pays off with fabulous outcomes announced

a new rail bridge built at Eel Race Rd. A new ‘road connection’ at Station St over Patterson River is also being considered by the LXRA. The marginal seats of Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc were won by Labor MPs Paul Edbrooke, Sonya Kilkenny and Tim Richardson respectively at the 2014 state election. The trio faces voters at the polls again in 2018. Rail under road has already been installed at Bentleigh, McKinnon and Ormond on the Frankston line.

Man, 43, charged over service station robberies Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A MAN wanted over multiple service station robberies in Mornington, Frankston, Moorabbin, Berwick and Frankston was arrested on Friday night, 17 February. Detective Senior Constable Mitchell Hardisty, of Frankston CIU, said police believe the same man may have been responsible for previous robberies at the United service station on Tyabb Rd, Mornington, and the 7-Eleven on McMahons Rd, Frankston. It is alleged the Mornington man, 43, struck at the United service station in Mornington-Tyabb Rd, 10.15pm, Wednesday 15 February, wearing a hoodie and with his face covered. He was wearing a hi-vis vest and carrying a large knife. He allegedly shouted “Give me cash, give me cash” and used the knife to intimidate staff before running back to his car with $300. The man allegedly used the same tactics to rob the 7-Eleven outlet in McMahons Rd, Frankston, 2.05am, Thursday 16 February, and again 8.15pm, Friday 17 February, before making in off in his car which was parked in the nearby Homemakers Centre car park. Also on that Friday night the man allegedly struck at the Coles Express

in High St, Berwick, 10.32pm, and made the same demands for cash and making off with $200. Around midnight it is alleged he robbed a service station in Point Nepean Rd, Dromana, stealing a small amount of cash. At 4.40am on Saturday 18 February the attendant at the 7-Eleven in Mornington-Tyabb Rd refused to open the door when the man appeared outside and shouted the same demand for cash. At 5.45am Saturday it is believed the man stole $200 from the Coles Express on South Rd, Moorabbin, and, at 8.45am, attempted to rob the BP Langwarrin service station, Cranbourne-Frankston Rd, where the attendant locked himself in the backroom as the man tried unsuccessfully to open the till. An alert tradie watching outside followed the man back to his car and attempted to block him in. The man twice rammed the tradie’s car before escaping, but this allowed the tradie time to get his registration number, leading to his arrest later that day and giving police his address. The man then allegedly stole a small amount of cash from the BP service station on Frankston-Dandenong Rd, Carrum Downs, 9.15am, Saturday, after making the same demands and using the knife to intimidate staff.

Senior Constable Cameron Fields and Constable Anthony Box, on patrol in the Mornington divisional van, 9.50am, Saturday 18 February, spotted the man driving a Mazda hatch on Tanti Av after a registration alert from Frankston detectives. “We put on the lights and siren as the man did a U-turn into the Beleura Private Hospital goods delivery bay and arrested him without a struggle,” Senior Constable Fields said. After the man’s arrest, Detective Hardisty said a search of his Mornington home found a quantity of stolen items. The man was later charged with seven counts of armed robbery, two of attempted armed robbery and three traffic offences. He was remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court at a date to be fixed. Anyone who witnessed any of the robberies is urged to call Detective Hardisty at Frankston CIU on 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. A confidential crime report can also be lodged at crimestoppersvic. com.au online.

Spotlights on abuse A PLAY shedding light on the dark topic of child abuse by Edithvale playwright Kieran Carroll is heading to Chelsea for a free community performance. The award-winning playwright was commissioned by Monash University to write The Truth Is Longer Than A Lie, a play drawing on the personal accounts of children subjected to abuse. Based on a book by Monash University researchers Dr Neerosh Mudaly and Professor Chris Goddard, Carroll’s play focuses on the heart in the darkness when silence is broken about abuse. CSIRO chief scientist and child abuse research advocate Dr Alan Finkel has praised Carroll’s adaptation of the book, with the play following two teenagers from different socio-economic backgrounds speaking out and continuing to live and recover. “I was riveted by The Truth Is Longer Than A Lie. The acting, staging, choreography, script and directing were first class,” Dr Finkel said. “This is a powerful story, brilliantly portrayed. And important.” The play was performed at Frankston Arts Centre last year and an abridged 50-minute version, pared back from 90 minutes, will be performed at Chelsea Activity Hub, 3-5 Showers Avenue, Chelsea on Wednesday 15 March, 8pm. See kierancarroll.com or call 0429 235 751 for enquiries about the show.

Clean up crews to pick up trash CLEANING up litter in Kingston parks and beaches will be a joint effort on Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday 5 March. Kingston mayor Cr David Eden is urging people to pitch in for the sake of the community. “We encourage everyone to do their bit on Clean Up Australia Day and join in the fun while meeting people in the community,” Cr Eden said. “The more people who come along, the quicker and easier it will be to clean up litter and make our city shine. “While most people do the right thing, unfortunately we still see far too much rubbish thoughtlessly dumped at our local parks and beaches. Together we can help clean up the mess and see Kingston looking its best.” Volunteers should wear sunscreen, a hat and sturdy shoes, and to bring plenty of water. Kingston Council and community groups will be holding several Clean Up Australia Day events including: n Bonbeach to Edithvale foreshore, 10am1pm, meet Station St near corner Mascot Ave n Braeside Park 10am-12pm, Lower Dandenong Rd, Braeside n Chelsea Railway Station 10am-1pm, Nepean Highway, Chelsea n Chelsea Heights, 9am onwards, meet at Chelsea Heights McDonalds n Groves Reserve, 10am-12.30pm, Mills St, Aspendale n Mordialloc Creek 8am-12pm, J Grut Reserve Car Park, Governor Rd, Mordialloc. n Regents Park, 3pm-5pm, Sixth Avenue, Aspendale See cleanupaustraliaday.org.au or call Kingston Council on 1300 653 356 for further information.au

Developers may open wallets for open space DEVELOPERS may have to contribute more money to fund open spaces for community use in Kingston if a proposal by council is accepted by the state government. Councillors decided at January’s public council meeting to seek permission from Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne to add open space contribution amounts to the Kingston Planning Scheme. The mayor Cr David Eden said council wants to increase the contribution that all developers must make towards public open space in the area. “With the increase in larger developments, which can be appropriate in activity centres close to public transport and shops, there is a need to create new open space areas across our community,” Cr Eden said. “It’s only fair that developers are expected to help support the creation and

improvement of public open spaces that will serve the needs of the people that will live in these new homes.” It is proposed that developments at key strategic sites and in the Moorabbin, Cheltenham, Highett, Mordialloc and Mentone activity centre zones would incur an 8 per cent public open space contribution fee while all other areas would incur a 5 per cent contribution. “In the past, developers had at times successfully appealed at the Victorian Civil and Administration Tribunal against the open space contribution amounts,” Cr Eden said. “By having the rates set in stone and added to the Kingston Planning Scheme, we can ensure that developers pay their fair share.” If the Planning Minister agrees to the open space contribution plan it will be advertised for public feedback before implementation.

History walk for Margaret A COMMUNITY walk in memory of Chelsea historian Margaret Jacobs with all the answers will be held for the first time on Friday 3 March.

Participants can join a guided group, organise a group, or walk on their own. A map and notes of what to see will be handed out on the night. Margaret’s Walk will begin at Bicentennial Park on Friday 3 March, meet 6.15pm for 6.30pm start and finish back at Mt Chelsea play slide 8-8.30pm. All are welcome to the free event.

Teacher’s get: Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson congratulates Parkdale Secondary teacher Natalie Baker for being selected to chaperone students from across Victoria on a study tour to learn about veterans’ sacrifices in World War II.

Tour of duty for teacher PARKDALE Secondary College teacher Natalie Baker will be one of five teachers who will accompany Victorian school students on a study tour to Canberra to learn about sacrifices made by veterans during World War II. Hundreds of applicants applied to be a chaperone teacher for the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize Study Tour to include 42 students from state schools. Ms Baker has taught at Parkdale

Secondary for the past 12 years. An overseas tour group will follow in the footsteps of World War II veterans and will visit Darwin and Singapore to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Darwin and fall of Singapore. The Canberra group will visit key sits of national significance such as Parliament House, the Museum of Australian Democracy, the National Archives of Australia and the Australian Defence Force Academy.

“The Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize Study Tour is an important opportunity for students to understand firsthand the decisive moments that shaped our nation,” Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richardson said. “I commend Natalie on her efforts and dedication and wish her and all the students the best of luck for what will be the study tour of a lifetime.” Schools can apply for students to take the Canberra or overseas trip at veterans.vic.gov.au online.

Police patrol Raids reveal crop houses POLICE raids on properties in Patterson Lakes and Carrum Downs last week allegedly found more than 120 cannabis plants and elaborate hydroponic set ups – and even a specially insulated roof to prevent heat being detected by police helicopters. The raids carried out at 7.30am, Tuesday 21 February, were part of police operation called Rebuker 16. A Colac Ct property was allegedly found to house about 90 cannabis plants and two fully functional hydro units with lamps in two rear bedrooms. At the rear was a garage also set up as a hydro unit allegedly holding 10 more fully grown cannabis plants. A large backpack containing a garbage bag full of cannabis buds and a ziplock bag were also found, police said. A man, 43, and woman, 29, were arrested and taken back to Chelsea police station for interview. A second raid on the same day was carried out at a property in Myna Ct, Carrum Downs,. Here, police will allege they found a “sophisticated” cannabis crop room in the garage containing 31 large cannabis plants. They will allege the accused had built a special room inside the garage with insulation between its two roofs to prevent heat being detected by police helicopters flying overhead. An electrical bypass system had also been installed, preventing the power company identifying the user of large amounts of electricity. The 43-year-old man was charged with cultivating, trafficking and possessing a drug of dependence at the two properties. He was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in May. A Bonbeach woman, 29, will be charged on summons with outstanding warrants.

Weapon at court A YOUTH found to be carrying a prohibited weapon when attending Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court was arrested and later cautioned, 9.35am, Wednesday 22 February.

Religion ruling ‘a win for wedge’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A CONTENTIOUS council-backed bid to build a place of worship on green wedge land in Carrum Downs has been rejected on religious grounds by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal after an appeal by the Defenders of the South East Green Wedge group. A VCAT panel found the Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB) — a self-proclaimed “philosophical organisation based on the spiritual teachings of all religions and dedicated to a process of inner development under the guidance of a spiritual teacher” — is not a recognised religion despite being granted nonprofit religious institution status by the Australian Taxation Office. In the VCAT report outlining the decision made after hearings on 1314 February, panel member Michael Deidun noted: “I was informed during the course of the hearing that members of RSSB Australia Pty Ltd maintain their existing religious beliefs, whether they be Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu or another religion.” Mr Deidun said: “The activities being conducted on the land are not related to the the practice or following of a religion.” RSSB’s “spiritual leader” is Baba

Gurinder Singh who lives in northern India. Frankston Council officers and councillors — with the exception of then mayor James Dooley — supported the RSSB planning application in July last year to build a place of worship, guest dwelling and caretaker’s house on 26.3 hectares of green wedge land between EastLink and Frankston-Dandenong Rd and Boundary Rd near an existing Hindu temple. Yarra Ranges Council in 2014 rejected a proposal by RSSB to build the place of worship at Chirnside Park. Defenders spokesman Barry Ross said the group welcomed VCAT’s decision to overrule council’s approval of the “massive” planned “church”. “The tribunal accepted our argument that the development does not qualify as a place of worship and was therefore prohibited,” Mr Ross said. “Disappointingly, the tribunal did not agree with our arguments about the development not meeting the Planning Scheme Green Wedge protection measures. Nonetheless, a win is a win.” RSSB Australia can appeal to the Supreme Court of Victoria against the VCAT ruling. Chairman Michael Cooke did not return calls from The News.

Demolition time: Moorabbin Reserve facilities will be bulldozed to make way for a new sports precinct. Picture: Gary Sissons

Reserve revamp cleared to kick off OBJECTIONS against the redevelopment of Moorabbin Reserve have been dropped and the $28.4 million project will begin soon ahead of St Kilda Football Club’s move back to its “spiritual home”. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal had agreed late last year to hear an appeal arguing the demolition and rebuilding of the Linton St premises would mean the club may have to reapply for a licence for its 83 pokies machines at the venue. Objections to the proposal have now been dropped. Kingston mayor Cr David Eden said council is pleased to contribute about $4 million of ratepayers’ money to the

mers said the club is looking forward to a return to its heartland. “We want the revitalised Moorabbin Reserve to be a true football and community hub and we’re thrilled to take another step forward with the project.” The AFL club moved its administration and training base from Moorabbin to Seaford after an acrimonious departure in 2007 over a dispute with Kingston Council about the number of gaming machines at Moorabbin. The $28.4 million redevelopment is being funded by Kingston ratepayers via Kingston Council ($5 million), taxpayers via the Labor state government ($8 million), the AFL ($5 million) and the club itself ($5 million).

Moorabbin Reserve redevelopment. “In addition to the new building works, Council is also investing $1million to upgrade the surrounding parkland,” Cr Eden said. The redeveloped oval and facilities will host training sessions for Auskick juniors, Saints AFL players, the Southern Football Netball league, the South Metro Junior Football League, Sandringham Dragons and AFL Victoria. An indoor court for basketball and netball training will be built as part of the redevelopment. Stage one of the project is expected to be complete before the 2017-18 AFL season.

Legal centre faces ‘crisis’ budget cut Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au A FRANKSTON-based legal service that has helped thousands of low-income clients across the south east suburbs to access free legal advice and representation will be forced to turn away clients when the federal government cuts funding by 30 per cent in July. Peninsula Community Legal Centre has provided legal advice to 7966 cashstrapped or vulnerable clients since opening 40 years ago, but now fears for its future and is pleading for the government to reverse its decision and restore the funding. The government has faced fierce opposition from legal centres around the country since it announced last year it would slash funding by millions from 1 July to make up for budget shortfalls. The cuts, expected to be sustained through to 2019–20, will see community legal centres receive $31 million from estimated total federal government spending of $511.61 billion. Peninsula Community Legal Centre’s CEO Jackie Galloway said the cuts would jeopardise the centre's ability to operate. “We are facing a crisis in access to justice with so many people unable to afford lawyers but ineligible for legal aid. Community legal centres are vital in helping those who would otherwise fall through

the cracks with legal services targeted to those most in need,” she said. “Each year Peninsula Community Legal Centre helps thousands of people with a wide range of problems, including family violence, family law, infringements, debt, consumer problems, tenancy disputes and employment issues. “The impact of the Commonwealth funding cuts will be significant for the centre and will mean an unavoidable reduction in front line services, loss of staff and an increase in waiting times for legal help. “We urge [the] government to reverse the funding cuts and provide an immediate injection of additional funding to enable the centre meet the ever increasing demand for legal services.” The centre receives funding from various sources, including the Attorney-General’s department, the state justice and regulation department, Consumer Affairs Victoria, Victoria Legal Aid and councils. Isaacs Labor MP and former federal attorney general Mark Dreyfus said the Peninsula Community Legal Centre was “the frontline in the battle against domestic violence”, and had helped thousands of Australians in need of free legal assistance, but who do not qualify for legal aid. “These cuts to community legal centres will … see vulnerable local residents including victims of family violence turned away because of a lack of staff and re-

sources,” he said. “Labor calls on the government to reverse these cruel cuts as a matter of urgency. Vulnerable people in Dunkley and Isaacs are at risk, and I will continue to advocate on behalf of the Peninsula centre.” Federal Attorney General George Brandis denied responsibility for the cuts, and told The News on Friday that the former Labor government had allocated the funding and set the expiry date of 30 June 2017. “This is the Dreyfus funding cliff – a direct result of decisions the former Attorney-General made but now, with trademark hypocrisy, criticises”, he said. He said federal funding for the Peninsula Community Legal Centre had increased by more than 40 per cent since 2010. “Even in a resource constrained environment, the Australian government is providing over $1.6 billion for legal aid, community legal centres and Indigenous legal assistance between 2015 and 2020.” Senator Brandis said the government was negotiating an $18.5 million agreement for legal aid commissions in each state and territory to establish and operate family advocacy and support services in family law court registries, under the “third action plan” to relieve pressure across the legal assistance sector and provide help to people affected by domestic violence.

Donaldson described their SEN show as “a sports variety show where we also get up close and personal with sporting greats and personalities”.

was defended by Mr Thos. Kennedy, J J. Gotch, inspector of Melbourne Harbour Trust, said that he was returning from the Naval Base on the date mentioned, on a motor cycle, when on turning the corner between the Bay View Hotel and Prince of Wales Hotel, Frankston, he was met by a motor car. The car was on its wrong side and he was on the right. The car struck the cycle with its mud guard. Constable Ryan was sent for. The damage to the cycle amounted to £14 or £15. To Mr Kennedy :–There was no room for my cycle to pass between the car and the embankment. The car was going round the corner when struck the cycle. The cart was going at the rate of 15 or 16 miles an hour when it collided with the cycle. He was not knocked off because the mud guard just struck the cycle. He swerved to the left then he was struck. Const. Ryan deposed to being sent for on the date mentioned and on examining the tracks made by the motor car found that it was on its wrong side when it struck the cycle. For the defence Napier contended that he was on his right side, and that Gotch brought the accident on himself by losing his presence of mind and going first to the right, then left then back again. The Bench considered the case proved, and fined the accused 40s or 4 days imprisonment. Lance-Corporal Mcartney and Privates Burke and Hooper were

brought up on the charge of being recently on licensed premises on the 10th December last. Inspector E. F. Britt prosecuted and Major McInerney defended the accused. Constable Ryan deposed that he had a conversation with the accused who admitted being on the premises on the date mentioned but denied having had any liquor. Constables Milne and Corker, from the Melbourne Excise Dept., gave evidence as to seeing drink being served to the accused, and them drinking it, also to drink having been carried into a private room for them on three occasions. The accused swore that they were at the premises of the Prince of Wales Hotel on the date mentioned on military duty, but that no liquor was served to them. After hearing the evidence, they then decided to dismiss the case, as the evidence was insufficient that would allow no costs. David Scott was brought upon the charge of neglecting to send his child to school the required number of days. A fine of 2s was imposed. The charge against W. H. Leighton or neglecting to have his child educated was withdrawn as the child had been vaccinated since the charge was laid. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 3 March, 1917

Three times the ferry fun DON’T spend your public holiday in a traffic jam! Searoad Ferries will have three vessels operating on the Labour Day public holiday, Monday 13 March 2017, to cater for the expected influx of day trippers, holiday-makers and music festival goers that will be travelling around the bay over the long weekend. CEO of Searoad Ferries, Matt McDonald, said roadworks and high volumes of public holiday traffic have seen increased numbers of people turning to the ferry service to travel between the Surfcoast, Bellarine and south-western region of Victoria, and the Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island and southeastern suburbs of Melbourne. “The last few public holidays have seen higher than expected passenger numbers, particularly from travellers making their way home after a long weekend,” Matt said.

“By adding a third ferry service on Labour Day, we will be able to better manage the increased passenger numbers and ensure everyone can get home in a timely and relaxed manner.” “There are so many benefits to taking the ferry – you can bring your car onboard, which saves you battling the Melbourne traffic, and then sit back, relax and enjoy the onboard facilities and spectacular views as you let someone else take care of the driving!” he said. The three ferry services operating over the Labour Day weekend will depart every hour on the hour from 7am to 7pm. Bookings are encouraged to avoid disappointment. To book, or for timetable and ticketing information, please visit www.searoad. com.au or call 5257 4500.

KITE FESTIVAL ROSEBUD FORESHORE JETTY ROAD SUN 12TH MARCH 2017

SUNDAY 11am-5pm

Kite Flying Kite Workshops Family Activities Kids Carnival Roving Entertainment Music Stage

Kite festival flying high THE Rosebud Kite Festival has grown from small beginnings to become one of Victoria’s largest Kite-flying events. Held on Sunday 12th March on the foreshore, this free family festival will showcase an array of colourful kite displays, ranging from elegant acrobatic kites to the show-stopping inflatable Maxi Kites with their creative designs and sophisticated air-filled construction. Faces will looking skyward as a flotilla of Whale Sharks, Crocodiles, Flying Pigs, Untamed Dragons and other fantastic creatures fly high above the bay at Rosebud. Craig Hansen from Peter Lynn Kites, makers of the world’s largest Kite, will be unveiling his latest creations as well as designs from local kite flyers Jo and Trent Baker. Both parties are just back from a guest tour of India where they represented their countries at the famous Ahmedabad Kite Festival. Against the scenic backdrop of sand, sea and sky at Rosebud, families can enjoy a program of free entertainment with live music performances on the main stage, circus skills, kids story telling, scout activities and community demonstrations.

The fabulous Frederico Boogie will be back entertaining the crowds with the help of some other curious characters; Tubby the Robot and Chippy the Pirate. Novice kite flyers can also join in the fun alongside the experts to either fly or make their own aerodynamic creations in a special kite making workshop. And adding to the list of activities will be an array of children’s rides, animal petting zoo, minigolf, heaps of tasty food options, workshops, craft stalls and more. So make the most of the long weekend, pack your picnic rug, find a spot on the grass, marvel at the beautiful kite creations and enjoy the friendly vibe of a much-loved Peninsula event. 2017 Rosebud Kite Festival When: Sunday 12th March: The Main Event (kite flying, stalls, carnival, live entertainment) 11am-5pm. *Also, Saturday 11th March: Meet the Kite Makers (no other activities) 10am-1pm.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Family Circle will be unbroken By Stuart McCullough I’LL admit it caught my eye. There amongst the items that had spilled from a plastic bag across the kitchen table, the January 1983 edition of ‘Family Circle’ sucked me in like a gigantic black hole, complete with microwave cooking tips and a recipe for devilled eggs. It had been ages since I’d seen a copy of Family Circle and, for reasons I can’t quite explain, I was instantly reminded that I ought to see the dentist. I’m not sure quite what I’d done to deserve it. My father had started to make a lot of noise about my siblings and I cleaning out all the things we’d left behind at his house. He’d made these kinds of threats before, but I’d always considered it idle chatter, believing deep down that my father preferred to preserve my old bedroom as a shrine to my childhood. I kept on believing this even after he converted my sister’s room into some kind of gaming complex complete with a pinball machine and the room next to mine into a ‘memorabilia exhibit’. But my father’s latest campaign to have us remove the souvenirs of our youth so that he can make the most of the Air B’n’B revolution is starting to gather momentum. Last time we visited, we had one foot out the door when he foisted upon me a number of plastic bags stuffed to the brim. Mistakenly, I assumed this was stage one of the process of returning our belongings to us and these bags might contain things I owned. But upon emptying their contents out onto the kitchen table, I was confronted not with long lost possessions but the rejects of the world’s

worst jumble sale. There was a broken cheese knife. The handle – a plastic monstrosity that featured plastic grapes, apples and melons and seemingly took its inspiration from Carmen Miranda’s head gear – had busted clean in half and was suitable

for use only as a ‘shiv’ in the maximum security wing of your local prison rather than cutting cheese per se. There was no suggestion that it had ever belonged to me. Beside the cheese knife were a couple of spatulas that were so worn as to be translucent. These were

candidates for a hard rubbish collection, not re-gifting. But now they were in my kitchen instead of by the side of the road waiting for the council truck. I could only wonder why. But amidst the broken dinner party apparatus and clapped out cooking utensils sat a magazine. It goes without saying that I have never subscribed to ‘Family Circle’ magazine and, even if I had, it’s unlikely that I’d have subscribed whilst still in primary school. And yet the magazine caught my eye. It did so not because I owned it but because it represented a moment in time that has long since disappeared. This magazine was more than just a collection of ink and photographs. It was a time machine; one that transported me back to another age. Let’s start with the cover. The main feature of the January 1983 edition of Family Circle was how to cook the perfect Christmas dinner. Which, then as now, is not especially useful information in January. Whether the original feature had been delayed and they’d decided to press ahead regardless is impossible to say now, but the fact it still went to print is somewhat heroic. As I turned the pages, both the articles and the advertisements were a joy. I had largely forgotten the ‘Jazzercise’ revolution. Not only did the magazine include an advert for a Jazzercise album (doubtless featuring Miles Davis in leotards and Charlie Parker doing leg squats), but it also commanded its own column. It makes you wonder when Family Circle finally called time on the Jazzercise column. It would have been a tough day in the office; conced-

ing that the Jazzercise revolution had finally come to an end. There would be no such fears for the column entitled ‘The Romance of Cheese.’ It was as though someone had finally said what I’d long been thinking. Nothing says ‘I love you’ quite like a slice of Gouda. I was particularly smitten my Lesley Richardson’s ‘A Guide to Mixed Drinks’. I can only assume that the accompanying photo was of Lesley herself, her hair cut keeping with the style of the time to resemble a slightly bleached helmet and clutching a tall glass of something exotic stuffed with the rest of Carmen Miranda’s hat. The advertisements were also a work of art. From the ad for Betadine’s cold sore paint through to a full page spread describing the Datsun Pulsar as Australia’s ‘most exciting new small car’. What an age it was. What so struck me about the magazine, besides the apparent ‘romance of cheese’ was that it represented a world that was both incredibly familiar and distant at the same time. It belonged to another age, one in which knitted tops were garish and so large that they smothered the shape of human underneath such that they looked as if they were wearing a decorative bean bag. But this was the age of my childhood. One where we longed to be more sophisticated than we were, where we aspired to be something better. I think I miss it. Now excuse me while I slip on my Jazzercise cassette and start cooking a Christmas feast in February. Because it’s never too late. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Bowled out: Hastings smashed Ballam Park in their weekend Sub-district match as the season comes to a nail-biting conclusion ahead of finals. Picture: Rab Siddhi

Kangas show true grit PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully LANGWARRIN is equal top of the MPCA Provincial ladder after coming from the bleachers to knock over Mornington in the final two-day game of the home and away season. Chasing 211 for victory at Alexandra Park, the Kangas resumed at 2/10, chasing the Doggies’ total of 210. Things become worse very quickly for the Kangas at the beginning of day two when Mitch Bromley was removed after just five runs were added to the overnight total (3/15). Matt Prosser and skipper Trav Campbell steadied things down and got the score to 93 before Mornington quick Michael Heib struck again. When Tay Smith was gone for a blob

and Prosser went a short time later, the Kangas were in some real strife at 5/108. The visitors then dug deep again, Jake Prosser and cousin Joel Bateman hitting 39 and 32 respectively to give their side some hope for the first time in the innings. When Bateman went, the score was 8/194 with plenty of overs to play and the Kangas were in the box seat. The evergreen Mal Coutts (24 not out), together with Matt Campbell, picked up the 15 runs required for victory. Langwarrin’s wins over the past two matches against fourth-placed Mt Eliza and now fifth-placed Mornington gives them a 20-point buffer in third place. The Kangas are only percentage from top spot. Peninsula Old Boys and Baxter gave a taste of what to expect in the finals

starting in a fortnight after playing out a terrific match at Greg Beck oval. Baxter resumed at 9/194 with four overs to bat, however, added just three runs before Tom Feldgen trapped Sam Wolsgrove in front. POB then started its mission to hunt down the runs in 82 overs – it achieved the objective in 75 overs and with five wickets in hand. Skipper Matt Hyden top scored for the Old Boys with an unbeaten 57, Glenn Prendergast hit 49 batting at four and Jon Forrest was not out 31. Dale Irving was the pick of the Baxter bowlers with 2/36 from 15 overs. Crib Point is still a outside chance of making finals after smashing Pines. The Magpies resumed at 3/24 chasing 136 with Duane Annable and Luke Herrington at the crease.

Annable top scored with 46 and with Neil Clark adding 40 and Matt Blake an unbeaten 21, the Pies got to 8/183. The Pies must beat POB this weekend in the final game of the season (onedayer) and rely on Somerville to beat Mt Eliza and Moorooduc to beat Mornington to make the four. Mt Eliza recorded a comfortable victory over Sorrento. The Mounties resumed at 4/174 with 12 overs to bat on day two and got the score to 9/216 off the full 80 overs. Keith Biggs top scored with 55 after resuming on 40. Leigh Poholke finished with 2/8 from 2.2 overs. In reply, the Sorras were rolled for 85 with Mark Dunball top scoring with 19. Lyle House wound back the clock with 6/18 from 12 overs, while Shaun Knott claimed 2/39 from 15.

With 41 overs still left in the day, the Sorras were sent in again but withstood the onslaught and finished at 1/42. Pearcedale picked up the 12 points against Somerville. Chasing 127 for victory, the Panthers had its sights set on an outright and got the runs three wickets down off just 44 overs after Chris Dew hit 62 and Will Kennedy 51, while Kaine Smith chipped in with 42 at the end. The Eagles were 4/131 in their second innings, preventing an outright win to the Panthers. Long Island tasted a rare victory, smashing Moorooduc. Defending 164, the Islanders bowled out the Ducs for 98 with Andrew Tweddle bowling 25 overs for a return of 3/37, while Chris Hocking picked-up 3/14 off 15 overs.

hill is fourth (74, 1.15) and Mt Martha is just outside on 74 points and a percentage of 1.15. On 66 points are Flinders (1.06) and Rosebud (.96). It’s going to go down to the wire with results of the final round determining who makes the final four. The important matches this weekend are Red Hill v Rosebud, Main Ridge v Seaford, Mt Martha v Delacombe Park and Flinders v Heatherhill. Rosebud only has itself to blame when it misses finals after being humiliated by Rye. Rye defended just 94 to win by almost 20 runs. Even more importantly for the Demons, however, was that they went two matches clear of Boneo and prevented

relegation, regardless of the result between the two teams this Saturday. The Buds resumed on 3/23 and that quickly became 8/45 – they were eventually dismissed for 76. Billy Quigley top scored with 12. Baden Powell dropped out of contention too after being smashed by Flinders. The Braves resumed at 1/11 chasing 108 for victory – they were bowled out for 90 after Matt Burns snared 4/30 and Max Royal 3/12. Flinders were 3/160 in their second dig. Delacombe Park gained some momentum, getting the job done against Red Hill after MPCA legend Nick Christides blasted 127. It was vintage Christides who took the

game away from the Hillmen with nine fours and eight sixes in his innings. Chasing 182 for victory, the Parkers finished at 4/183 in 68 overs after Christides scored 127 of the team’s first 167 runs. Main Ridge picked up the valuable 12 point against Heatherhill, pretty much assuring them a place in the finals. Results would have to go against the Ridge this weekend and they would need to be smashed by Seaford to miss the finals. The Ridge had already won the game on the opening day, dismissing Heatherhill for 96 and then resuming at 7/121. They finished at 9/154. Heatherhill made 8/155 in their second innings after

being 6/78 at one stage. Gareth Wyatt picked up 4/26 from 14 overs for the Ridge. Mt Martha couldn’t get the 277 needed for victory against Seaford, bowled out for 222. After looking like a challenger for the majority of the season, the Reds now look shaky to even make it. Resuming at 1/10, Mt Martha quickly slumped to 3/19 before Riley Shaw (35) and skipper Mitchel Darville (57) gave them some hope. The difference was just too great though and the Reds were always playing catch up, despite 35 from Ben Shorthouse.

Finals places go down to the wire DISTRICT

By IT Gully IT’S crunch time ahead of the final home and away match of the MPCA District season this Saturday. It has been an incredibly tight division from round one and things haven’t changed over the course of the season. With just a one-day match to play this Saturday, there are still six teams fighting for three places on the ladder. Red Hill, which sits on top of the ladder, is the only team assured of a finals place as we head into the final round. Main Ridge is in second place (86 points and a percentage of 1.35), Delacombe Park is third (78, 1.32), Heather-

Saints are an outside shot SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully BALNARRING is a real chance to seal a place in the MPCA Sub District finals after knocking over Tyabb on Saturday. The Saints are currently in sixth place on the ladder, equal on 54 points with fifth-placed Tyabb and just a game behind Tootgarook (66 points), which holds fourth place. Hastings is sitting pretty at the top of the table on 110 points and will host a home final, regardless of the result of its final game. Ballam Park (84 points), despite be-

ing smashed by Hastings on Saturday, will definitely hold its place in the top four, while Frankston YCW is currently in third place with 78 points. It’s all going to come down to the final match of the season, a one-dayer this Saturday to determine the makeup of the four. Tootgarook will host Hastings and must win to book its place. If the Frogs win, they make the finals and Tyabb and Balnarring can’t possibly make it. However, should Tootgarook lose, the Saints and Yabbies are still alive. Balnarring host Carrum Downs while Tyabb has a much tougher assignment against Frankston YCW. The Yabbies

have a much better percentage than both Balnarring and Tootgarook. Whilst the season has been very unpredictable this season, logic says Hastings beats Tootgarook and YCW beats Tyabb, leaving Balnarring to beat the Cougars and come from nowhere to grab fourth place. Balnarring pulled off a sensational victory against Tyabb, which has kept them right in it. Chasing 148 for victory, the Yabbies were cruising as we entered day two, resuming at 2/59. However, Geoff Bradshaw had a purple patch for the Saints, snared 4/35 from 15 overs and together with

Brenton Taylor (2/15 from 10.2 overs), rolled the Yabbies for 137. YCW made hard work of getting the 133 needed for victory against Carrum, eventually getting there with not a wicket in hand. Batting at 11, Sam Fulton came to the crease with the score at 9/114 after watching his side lose 4/1 and go from 5/113 to 9/114. Matthew Black (29no) was at the other end. Fulton hit two fours and a six in his 18 to help his side not only win the game but win comfortably by 31 runs. Luke Hewitt snared 4/21 off 15.2 overs to go with his 99 with the bat and Isuru Dias claimed 4/24 off nine overs

to help Hastings smash second-placed Ballam Park. Defending a massive 9/318, Hastings zipped through the Knights, which made just 118. Stuart Plunkett top scored for the Knights with 27 and David Cross got 24. The next best was 11 and there lays the issue with Ballam Park. If Plunkett and Cross don’t make runs, then the team is vulnerable. Tootgarook successfully defended its 7/326 against Carrum Downs, bowling them out for 179. AJ King was at his best for the Frogs with 4/33 from 20 overs, while Cougars skipper Ryan Lynch top scored with 56.

Collier saves Skye, Heart in seventh heaven SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie A MARCUS Collier hat-trick rescued Skye United and powered its 5-3 come-from-behind FFA Cup win on Saturday against Elwood City. The match was held at Doveton’s Waratah Reserve and Skye was forced into extra time to settle the issue against its lower league opponent. Daniel Attard ran onto a through ball and slotted it past advancing Elwood keeper Roddy Beccara in the 22nd minute but by half-time Elwood had come roaring back to lead 2-1. A Sammy Hehir free kick had levelled the scores after 37 minutes and a John Andrinopoulos own goal just before the break saw Skye trudge off the pitch ruing its profligacy up front. A minute into the second half Scott Vile’s cross from the left was greeted with a superb low diving header from Anthony Moran at the near post to make it 3-1 and Skye had a mountain to climb. Endeavour United recruit Jason Nowakowksi gave Skye some hope by converting a 73rd minute penalty and a stunning Collier volley in the final minute of normal time gave Billy Armour’s men a lifeline. By now Sandown Lions recruit Wumjuck John Jang was trying to outdo the Energizer Bunny and Elwood’s flagging defence couldn’t contain the livewire attacking midfielder. Two minutes into the second half of extra time Collier struck a low long-range shot that eluded Beccara and went inside the far post and in the final minute of the extended period big Khor Gatluak nutmegged Vile then cut the ball back to Collier who skinned an opponent then cheekily stroked the ball past Beccara to make it 5-3. State 4 South outfit Baxter bowed out of the FFA Cup with a 3-1 home loss to State 3 North-West opponent Fawkner on Saturday. Baxter’s goal came when big Mark Pags broke through and lobbed the Fawkner keeper in the 40th minute after having a goal controversially disallowed earlier in the half. Fawkner’s goals came from Ray Rusca (24th minute), Josh D’Alessi (28th) and Saso Grozdanoski (68th). Rosebud Heart travelled to Ballarat on Sunday and thumped local side Victoria Park 7-0 in their FFA Cup clash. Perennial goal machine Dave Greening scored five with singles to Simon O’Donnell and Cory Osorio.

The pick of Greening’s haul was a superb team goal started by keeper Sean Skelly who rolled the ball wide and a neat one-two released Callum Richardson whose cross was converted by Greening with a diving header. Somerville Eagles is out of the FFA Cup after losing 2-1 to Latrobe Valley side Falcons 2000 at Monterey Reserve on Sunday. The Gippsland visitor had already knocked out North Ballarat and Rowville in qualifying for the first round proper and created the better chances in the first half but could not break the deadlock.

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 1 March 2017

Falcons’ best chance came in the 38th minute after a defensive blunder by Somerville substitute Chris Hales who had replaced the injured Dalton Thomas-Staines in the 30th minute. Hales was robbed by Falcons’ overlapping left back Kevin Carcellar who cut the ball back to Jamie Pistrin to roll into the path of Nick D’Alessandro who blasted his shot over the bar from close range. The stand-off was broken three minutes into the second half when D’Alessandro was sent through and neatly slotted the ball past advancing Eagles’ custodian Toby Lawson.

D’Alessandro again broke clear a few minutes later only to lob the stranded Lawson and the crossbar. A fine solo run past three opponents by Falcons’ Jesse Kennedy enabled him to lay the ball off to Tom D’Alia in the 60th minute but his low strike from the edge of the area was wide of the far post. Then came a frenzied minute in which two goals were scored. In the 71st minute Jarryd Lymer who had gone forward for a set piece met the ball with blistering force sending a sizzling volley past Falcons’ keeper Adam Brooker. Eagles’ fans were still celebrat-

ing when Conor Clarke restored Falcons’ lead when he broke into a one on one with Lawson and neatly stroked the ball past the helpless keeper. Clarke is the son of Irish defender and former Morwell Falcons star Gerry Clarke and his well finished goal was the sealer. The draw for the second round of the FFA Cup takes place at FFV’s St Kilda Road headquarters today (Monday). This draw will include Peninsula Strikers, Seaford United and Frankston Pines. Mornington, Langwarrin and Casey Comets enter the cup draw at round three stage with NPL clubs joining the competition during round four. Meanwhile Frankston Pines vicepresident Daniel Plaiche last week announced that four more Mauritian imports are heading to Monterey Reserve. Fabrice Pithia is an attacking midfielder, Dwayne Diamond-Heerah is a striker, Adrien Botlar is a striker and Damien Balisson is a left back or defensive midfielder. Pithia and Diamond-Heerah are expected to join Pines in March in time for the opening of the league season. Botlar and Balisson are 20-yearolds currently plying their trade in the Mauritian Professional Football League which ends in June. Both have represented the senior national team and are expected here in July. Pines are in talks with midfielder Francois Armansin from Casey Comets, wide midfielder Sajnesh Sugrin from Morwell Pegasus and Alfonso Cardinale, ex-Keilor Park, who was goalkeeping coach at Casey Comets last year. Langwarrin mauled visitor Whittlesea United in Sunday’s friendly at Lawton Park running up a 9-0 scoreline with English import Alex Metcalfe scoring four goals. Casey Comets play Doveton in a friendly at Comets Stadium this Wednesday 1 March at 7.30pm, Baxter has a friendly at home against Ashburton next Saturday at 3pm, Mornington is at home next Saturday against Westgate at 5pm while Langwarrin is at Phillip Island for a pre-season camp next weekend. Preseason friendly results: Peninsula Strikers 0 Mornington 4, Casey Comets 3 Mazenod 0, Mornington 1 Banyule Utd 2, Frankston Pines 2 Lyndale Utd 2, Seaford Utd 1 Southern Stars 1, Langwarrin 9 Whittlesea Utd 0.
