Time up for ‘party houses’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A BID by Frankston Council to curb the noise nuisance of “party houses” leased out on a short-term basis is heading to court.

A case listed to be heard at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (14 June) could set a precedent across the state and force landlords who offer short-term accommodation to register properties with councils.

If Frankston Council’s case is successful this registration would mean

landlords would be personally liable for non-compliance with local laws stipulating noise controls.

Property owners could then face fines of up to $38,056 for a failure to comply with a council-issued prohibition notice.

Council’s court bid comes after complaints were received from neighbours about “noise and nuisance issues” at a property in Gould Street and another in Nursery Avenue.

The two properties are listed as short-term accommodation on website Airbnb.

Council officers have found there are 50 property listings throughout the Frankston municipality on Airbnb and the Stayz website.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden wrote in March to Airbnb, based in San Francisco in the US, to notify the Silicon Valley company that complaints about properties listed on its site were being investigated by council’s Environmental Health Unit.

“The complaints received are in breach of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008, section 58 in relation to causing a nuisance and section 67

for trading as an unregistered prescribed accommodation premise,” Mr Hovenden wrote.

Airbnb representative “Ana” responded by stating the company “is an online platform and does not own, operate, manage or control accommodations” but “does take these types of complaints seriously and are committed to notifying hosts when we receive them”.

Councillors at the latest public council meeting held on Monday 4 June heard neighbours of houses complain about mass parties held at

residential homes at all hours of the day and night.

Councillors noted many visitors to the Frankston area cause no trouble for neighbours when staying in shortterm accommodation but council hopes to be able to take action against “party houses” owners.

Neighbouring Mornington Peninsula Shire council introduced a Short Stay Rental Accommodation Local Law earlier this year featuring a code of conduct to try to clamp down on rowdy behaviour at short-term stay residential homes.

Mobile trailer hits the streets A MOBILE kitchen trailer to help feed homeless and disadvantaged people in the Frankston area has been built thanks to the generosity of several corporate, government and sporting club supporters.

The Life-Gate charity unveiled the trailer last Wednesday (6 June) at the Frankston Library forecourt.

Chisholm TAFE students helped prepare food at the new trailer’s first outing.

Karingal Hub shopping centre stepped in with a $8000 donation to rescue the trailer project in March after a majority of Frankston councillors decided not to accept a request for council funding (“Mobile kitchen help gets knocked back”, The Times 19/2/18).

“My wife Ulli and I founded Life-Gate 26 years ago because we saw the needs in our city,” Reverend Angel Roldan said.

“The needs are still there, they are even greater than then.

“Life-Gate has been operating a food-van for now 26 years. This trailer is an answer to prayer, because now our street outreach team will be able to be more effective in helping the needy with all the accessories installed.

While we offer food to the needy, it is a means to get to know the needs of individuals who can, then, come to our centre for counselling, training, referrals to rehabilitation centres, and referrals to other organisations.”

Federal Liberal Dunkley MP Chris Crewther facilitated a $11,000 federal government grant, South East Water and Bayside Shopping Centre pitched in $5000 each, Mt Eliza marking business Creative Artroom contributed $2000 and $3500 was handed over by individual donors via an online GoFundMe campaign.

St Kilda Football Club invited Life-Gate to be the AFL club’s charity partner at its season launch to help make up the $36,000 total needed to build the trailer.

Crossing fund reservations expressed Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au GROWING discontent over the removal of vegetation and “moonscaped” land around Seaford’s RF Miles Reserve as part of the Seaford Road level crossing removal has seen Frankston councillors demand clarity from the state government on how a $10 million community fund will be spent.

A 7-1 majority of councillors at the latest 4 June public council meeting voted for council to contact Victorian Transport Minister Jacinta Allen and Carrum Labor MP Sonya Kilkenny “outlining council’s deep concerns

with regards to the lack of transparency and probity” around state “prioritisation of the $10 million funds set aside for projects associated with the rail works in Seaford”.

North-West Ward councillor Kris Bolam introduced the motion as “urgent business” at the council meeting.

“When the Seaford Road LXRA works were undertaken a commitment was given by Sonya Kilkenny to have a special fund, a slush fund, of $10 million that would be for the benefit of Seaford residents,” Cr Bolam said at the meeting.

He expressed concern that the LXRA wanted to use most of the money for associated level crossing removal works instead of contribut-

ing money to community and sporting clubs such as the 1st Seaford Scouts Group who need new premises.

Fellow North-West Ward councillor Glenn Aitken expressed alarm at the removal of several banksia trees near RF Miles Reserve.

He described the area as “moonscaped” and said he had seen no evidence in plans that land would be revegetated.

“The people of Seaford want that area revegetated,” Cr Aitken said.

“They don’t want a series of hard surface trails.”

Ms Kilkenny said a community reference group will help decide later in the year how the $10 million will be spent.

“Many level crossing projects have included additional scope items to enhance the precinct around the crossing. And across Melbourne, local councils have been very supportive of this approach.

“As part of removing the congested and dangerous level crossing at Seaford Road, the Andrews Government is spending $10 million to upgrade the local area, including RF Miles Reserve which is being occupied while the government is removing the crossing.

“The government will fully consult with the community, including users of RF Miles Reserve such as the Seaford Football and Netball club, on the best way to spend this funding.

“Every level crossing project across Melbourne has included a community reference group, including at Seaford and Carrum.”

The mayor Cr Colin Hampton, a Labor Party member, was the sole councillor to vote against pressing the state government for clarity on the $10 million fund. He said he had already written to Ms Kilkenny to ask for confirmation of planned community funding.

He questioned raising the matter as “urgent business” at the latest council meeting.

“I think this is not helping the case with Sonya. Give the lady a chance to answer the questions I’ve asked her,” he said.

Frankston Times 11 June 2018

A MT ELIZA woman who had to leave school when she was 14 is now, aged 75, about to graduate from Deakin University with a PhD (Psychology).

Ann Brown’s school in England wanted her to continue with her education but her parents could not afford it. They also believed that an education was “wasted on a female”.

So, it was off to work for the bright youngster who says she enjoyed office work and went on, at 18, to become personal assistant to the editor of The Sunday Times newspaper in London.

“Choosing office work stood me in good stead as I was able to move in and out of the workforce,” Ms Brown said.

With husband Allan she migrated to Australia when she was in her early 30s with two children aged 11 and nine.

Still “hankering after study” she began a course at the Open University following her retirement in her 60s and then studied at Monash and later Deakin universities, gaining her BA (Hons) and MA before beginning her doctorate.

Overcoming several personal obstacles made her studies “touch and go”. Her only brother died suddenly, and Ms Brown had to return urgently to the UK to settle her elderly mother’s affairs after she died two years ago. The family then had to contend with a fire while living in Beaumaris and find temporary accommodation.

She also had to overcome health issues after fracturing three vertebrae.

Ms Brown revelled in her chosen field: the effect advertising has on women of all ages – particularly on their self-image.

“I began to notice that women were being targeted in advertising with the underlying message that they should have no grey hair and no wrinkles,” she said.

After examining 720 advertisements created between 1960 and 2010 she saw how they had sought to gloss over the natural effects of ageing. She interviewed scores of women aged 30-75 to gauge how the messages had impacted their lives.

“We are wonderful women with so much knowledge and experience, yet the ads are not about who we are but what we look like,” she said.

“Most women being affected [by the anti-ageing message] are in their 60s but I also notice that some as young as 30 are having Botox injections to improve their self-image.”

And it’s not only women who are being subtly

Never too late: University graduate Ann Brown wears a mortar board made by a friend. Picture: Gary Sissons

influenced. “The ads also target young boys who get the message that they have to look strong,” she said.

“I did my PhD mainly on my own but drew inspiration from my mentor, Dr Tess Knight, of Deakin University, who pushed me on when I felt like giving in.”

Now school’s out for the active student who is content to say she is “proud of my achievement”.

Hospital hat-trick: New mother Dayna with son Charlie and the Pink Ladies at Frankston Hospital. Picture: Supplied

Three generations born at hospital THE third time’s a charm(er) for a volunteer at Frankston Hospital who welcomed the birth of grandson Charlie this year.

Pink Ladies secretary Heather Watts gave birth to second daughter Dayna at Frankston Hospital 28 years ago and this year it was Danya’s turn to welcome son Charlie to the world.

Chelsea resident Dayna chose Frankston Hospital for the birth of Charlie.

“It’s close to home and my friends all said how good Frankston Hospi-

tal was,” she said.

“Charlie had a hard time coming out but it all worked out well.

“He was facing the wrong way, so they took me to theatre and turned him around. After that, I was able to give birth naturally.”

The Pink Ladies volunteer at a cafe at the hospital and raise money to buy medical equipment.

Heather says Frankston has changed a lot in the three decades since she was in the hospital’s birth suite.

“Maternity was in another part of

the hospital and the Pink Ladies was a funny little shop down the corridor,” she said.

“The Pinkies” are now located at the hospital’s main entrance.

Heather, who also works as a lollipop lady, joined the Pink Ladies two and a half years ago.

“I decided to join to give back to the community,” she said.

“It’s a nice thing to do when you’re semi-retired as you start to miss the company and the interactions.”

Charlie is now three months old and regularly visits the Pink Ladies.

Footy champs back cancer services THE loss of his mother just before turning 60 means Hawthorn premiership player Gary “Bucky” Buckenara knows all too well the devastating impact cancer can have on families.

Buckenara, Frankston Football Club general manager and Rosebud resident, is joining with ex-Hawks teammate Robert “Dipper” DiPierdomenico to Take a Break for Cancer and host a special luncheon this month to raise funds for cancer services at Frankston and Rosebud Hospitals.

“When you get the opportunity to help a cause that is dear to your heart, you do everything you can to support it,” Buckenara said.

“Cancer is something that touches a

lot of people – it certainly touched our family. My mother passed away with ovarian cancer when she was 59, it was quite young.

“Our children were just babies then.

It would have been nice for her to get to know them and vice versa, but, unfortunately, that didn’t get to happen.”

“Bucky” will share more of his mum’s story and tales from his playing days at the luncheon at Frankston’s Functions by the Bay on Wednesday 20 June.

One in four people on the Mornington Peninsula will be affected by cancer.

As demand continues to grow for the oncology service, Peninsula Health is asking the community to Take a Break

for Cancer and raise funds to expand local cancer services.

“It’s really important to be able to access the best services close to home so people don’t have to trek into town for treatment,” Buckenara said.

“Robert is a real character and we have some really funny stories to share about our footy careers and we’ll also talk about how cancer has affected us.”

Tickets for the Take a Break for Cancer with Dipper & Bucky luncheon on Wednesday 20 June, midday-2pm at Functions by the Bay, Young Street & Plowman Place, Frankston are available at takeabreakforcancer.org.au or by calling Peninsula Health on 9784 7777.

Frankston Times 11 June 2018

PREMIER Daniel Andrews will be guest speaker at a Committee for Greater Frankston hosted brunch at the 90-seat McClelland Gallery cafe in Langwarrin on Wednesday 27 June.

The Premier is likely to be asked if his government supports the proposed Frankston medical teaching and clinical research hospital – a partnership between Monash University and Peninsula Health.

Committee president Fred Harrison said it would create 1000 jobs including 500 long-term jobs for doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and administrators.

“This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would transform our region with a biomedical hub serviced by a metro train station,” he said.

“The Premier and our local MPs know how important this is for jobs for our future generation.”

School seeks ruling to balance its numbers Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au CO-ED school Peninsula Grammar is seeking an exemption from the Equal Opportunity Act to allow it to “better manage” gender numbers in its classes.

Principal Stuart Johnston told the school’s alumni that the exemption would allow it to structure waiting and enrolment lists, allocate placements, and advertise or offer scholarships to either boys or girls depending on the genders it needed to balance numbers.

The Mt Eliza school, which has 41 per cent girls and 59 per cent boys after becoming fully co-educational in

1996, is seeking to extend the exemption granted by VCAT in 2013 for a further five-year term.

Mr Johnston said that, under the terms of the act, students were admitted in order of application, but this tended to skew numbers and upset the equal balance of boys and girls.

“We strongly believe it is in the best interests of both our male and female students alike, both educationally and socially, for our student body to comprise an equivalent number of boys and girls in each year level,” he said.

“The exemption would permit the school to continue to take positive action to even out our boy to girl ratios, thus enhancing the benefits of a fully

coeducational learning environment.”

Mr Johnston, who has been principal for the past nine years, said classes up to Year 9 were affected by a gender imbalance.

“The perception of the community is that the numbers of boys and girls are equal. By having the exemption we can better manage that expectation,” he said.

Other co-ed schools affected by an imbalance would likely also seek exemptions under the act, he said.

“We believe in choice and also that co-education works well, with students of co-ed schools doing better.”

The tribunal will hear the exemption application on 16 July.

THE “proudly co-educational” Peninsula Grammar School needs more girls to balance its student numbers.

Tradies warned: ‘watch out for thieves’ Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A “MASSIVE increase” in the theft of power tools on the southern peninsula is worrying police.

They say thieves are targeting tradies’ vehicles and trailers in Mt Eliza, Mornington, Mt Martha, Somerville, Safety Beach and Dromana during the day and overnight.

“After hours, tradies should keep their tools out of sight in a locked garage if possible,” Detective Acting Sergeant Robert Vine said.

“If this is not an option they should park in a well-lit area and make sure

their tools are locked up.”

Tradies are advised to also lock their vehicles when parked outside a job as it is less likely thieves will use force to gain entry during the day.

Overnight, offenders are cutting locks on trailers and forcing canopy locks and cutting or forcing tonneau covers.

Police concerns for tradies was underscored on Friday morning when a thief attempted to steal a tradie’s van while its owner was in a nearby cafe.

The tradie had left his van with the motor running in a Diane Street, Mornington, car park when the would-be thief saw his opportunity.

However the theft was foiled when

the tradie, 25, sprinted out of the café when he saw his van being driven off.

The thief fell out of the door into the gutter and into the arms of the angry tradie.

The van stopped rolling when it hit several parked vars.

A Carrum Downs man has been charged with theft of a motor vehicle and will appear in Frankston Magistrates Court on 13 September.

“Before tradies think what a pain it is to have to lock the car constantly, they should think, ‘Would I still be able to work without my tools?,’” Detective Vine said.

“Tradies should realise that if they are offered cheap tools they have

Gray’s Auctions.

Second-hand dealers cannot display goods for sale within a week of receiving them.

“If you see your items for sale please notify police as soon as possible and do not notify the seller,” Detective Acting Sergeant Robert Vine said. “Please help us help you.”

Anyone with information on thefts, or who sees anything, anyone or any vehicle they think is suspicious, is urged to call police or Detective Acting Sergeant Robert Vine at the Mornington Peninsula Crime Unit, 5978 1400, or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

most likely been stolen – and they may well know who from. So, please, let police know.”

Tradies should mark their tools by engraving them or permanently marking them with their names and drivers’ licence numbers.

This makes it harder for thieves to offload them – and, hopefully, generate a greater return rate of stolen tools. The tools, batteries and chargers should all be marked.

Owners of stolen power tools should actively look for them at second-hand dealers at least seven days after they have been stolen, as well as on eBay, Gumtree, Facebook buy, swap and sell sites, and at others like

Things are heating up this Winter

Political spin

at

Let’s be very clear about some of the political spin concerning the changes to planning (“Greens in blue over planning” The Times 4/6/18). This is classic scaremongering by the Liberal party and it’s unfortunate that Peninsula Speaks has bought into it, despite its members’ best intentions.

The Greens specifically requested the minister accelerate distinctive protection for the Mornington Peninsula. The current state legislation does not take away from the current council planning process, a three-storey building was possible before.

In fact, the mandatory garden percentages actually increased for new developments. The Liberal Party spin machine on the peninsula is alive and well and full of deception.

Don’t stop all stations The election promise by the federal government for the extension of electric trains to Baxter is to be commended. But it would have been courteous to make sure the state government was also involved in this proposal, as the bulk of the cost is going to be a burden on Victoria’s taxpayers.

But why stop at Baxter? This is an opportunity to take public rail transport to the whole Mornington Peninsula. At least it could be taken to Hastings or even Bittern for a start.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council also should be involved into the planning of a future rail network for the whole peninsula so we can stop building ever more freeways on our ever diminishing green spaces.

In November 2005, a petition with many signatures was given to the then Transport Minister Robin Cooper (now retired) by myself to have the railway line reopened. Mr Cooper was fully behind the plan.

I recently received a letter from Mornington MP David Morris which stated that he did not support the plan because the train took one hour to get to Frankston. I wish to point out that what Mr Morris and his transport advisory committee don’t seem to understand is that we did not have Eden Park, Peninsula Grange units and, in a very short time, Madison Hill.

No buses travel into Racecourse Road to link the 784 bus to Osborne and, I’m sorry to say, Mr Morris and his committee’s way of thinking appears somewhat Neolithic.

Bungower Road, in the mornings especially, is dreadful with traffic congestion.

Fred Crump, Mornington

Apportioning blame I am absolutely gob-smacked that Australians are not running to the corrupt banks to get their money out and telling them why. This amounts to approval of their corrupt practices.

The question we must ask ourselves the next time someone dies from a drug overdose or a terrorist attack is “Who should we blame? The drug dealer or terrorist; the banks for laundering drug and terrorist money; or us for turning a blind eye to it all.”

I suggest it is the apathetic us (I’m not included as I’ve done it). But what’s to worry?

She’ll be right, mate.

More train support In reply to letters sent in by Jane Turnbull (“Waiting for the train” 4/6/18) and Brian A Mitchelson (“Bring the train back to Mornington” 21/5/18) concerning the return of the Mornington train that was disbanded in 1981, I have to say that I couldn’t agree more.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Steaks raised in anticipated football clash Compiled by Brodie Cowburn A FOOTBALL match between the Frankston and Mornington juniors was played on Saturday last in the Frankston park when, after an interesting game the visitors suffered defeat by 10 points. Mr W. Cain umpired satisfactorily.

We understand that Mornington has issued a challenge to play Frankston at Somerville, the losers to pay for a dinner. If the challenge is accepted an interesting game should result. *** IN the 407th and 408th casualty lists, recently published by the Defence department appear the names of two Peninsula soldiers who have made the supreme sacrifice - Pte. E. E. Cook of Somerville and Corporal W. J. Hoban, of Hastings.

Keen sympathy is expressed for the relatives of the deceased soldiers. *** LIEUTENANT W. C. Pentland, son of Mr W. C. Pentland, of Cheltenham was recently mentioned in despatches by Sir Douglas Haig. Lieutenant Pentland who saw service in the Boer war was wounded in France, and is now in hospital in England with one leg amputated.

He was an old South Melbourne College boy and was well known in Frankston. *** THERE was a splendid attendance at the Frankston Mechanics on Saturday evening last, when a picture entertainment was held in aid of the funds of the Langwarrin Camp.

Special interest attached to the screening of the picture taken on the

occasion of the Pageant of Loyalty at Frankston, and many residents had an opportunity to see themselves as others see them. Other pictures shown were of an equally high standard. *** IN aid of the Langwarrin Camp Fund a grand concert under the direction of Miss R. P. Langley of Melbourne and Mr J. B. Jolly of Frankston will be given in the Mechanics Hall Frankston on Saturday, July 16th, by the famous Merry Eight Musical Comedy Company.

The programme promises to be one of the best ever submitted locally and as the cause is of such a deserving nature a bumper house is anticipated.

The Concert company are giving their services gratis so the gross proceeds will be devoted to the fund. *** MRS A. W. Taylor sailed from Sydney on Tuesday last, to assist in the work of the Australian Red Cross in Egypt. She was one of two ladies selected in the Commonwealth for the work, the other being Miss Waugh, of Sydney.

It will be remembered that some little time ago Mrs Taylor’s husband disposed of his garage at Frankston to join the Flying Corps. He is now in England. *** PROBATE of the will of Sir John Madden has been applied for by the National Trustees Company. He died on 10th March last, leaving estate valued at £29,082, being realty £14,213 and personalty £14,869.

Besides the capital moneys of her marriage settlement, which she takes absolutely at once, Lady Madden is given the income of the whole estate for life. At her death the capital is divisible into six parts, of which one part is given to deceased’s son, Captain Guy Ross Madden, absolutely, and the income of the five other parts is given to the five daughters, Mrs. Harry Osborne, Mrs. Clement Valange, Mrs. Pat Osborne, Mrs. M. H. Baillieu, and Miss Lesly Madden, for life, with power to appoint the capital fund of their respective shares.

Sir John Madden’s town house, “Cloyne,” in St. Kilda, and “ Yamala,” his country home at Frankston, are both to be sold shortly. *** WILLIAM Henry Wooster and Frank Whyte were charged by Constable Ryan with behaving in an offensive manner in Bay Street, Frankston, on Sunday, 9th June. Defendants pleaded not guilty.

Graham Berry Bennett, a motor driver, deposed that while sitting on a seat in Bay Street on Sunday afternoon he was accosted by accused who asked for a match. Witness gave Wooster some matches.

Both men were in an intoxicated condition and used most abusive and filthy language to witness, who had not seen either of them previously.

Witness reported the matter to the police and both men were arrested

by Constable Ryan. Constable Ryan deposed to arresting the prisoners who were both under the influence of drink.

Neptours

Each defendant was fined £1, in default 48 hours imprisonment. *** AN elderly man named William Palmer was charged by Constable Ryan with being drunk and disorderly, in Hastings Road, on Monday night, 10th June.

Prisoner pleaded guilty. Const.

Ryan stated that he found Palmer lying in a drunken condition on Hastings Road the previous night.

He was in danger of being run over and was locked up for his own safety *** A VERY successful sale in aid of the funds of the local Red Cross was held at St. Pancras Private Hospital, Frankston, on Wednesday afternoon, conducted by the Matron (Miss Cadle) and Staff.

In declaring the sale open, Mrs James Grice, of Moondah, said :Ladies and Gentlemen, You all know from the interest you have taken in the Red Cross the object of your meeting today. It is to show by our actions how we thoroughly appreciate what our gallant men at the front have done and are doing, for whilst we are living in comfort and luxury we can hardly understand the privations they are undergoing. *** THE town of Hastings was quite busy last Saturday afternoon when a number of men with horses and drays were busy at work clearing earth from the side of the main road and repairing the half yard with sand.

Another working bee is to be held on Saturday. ***

A WEDDING caused a great deal of interest in Langwarrin owing to the fact that the bridegroom was formerly of the 5th battalion, A.I.F., Gallipoli, and his parents are well known here for their connection with the Red Cross work and patriotic functions.

The bride and one of her sisters frequently appeared at local functions and at considerable expense they journeyed from the metropolis, and their presence was always welcome. *** A MEETING of the committee of the Avenue of honour at Frankston was held in the Frankston Mechanics’ on Monday evening. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed.

A letter was read from Mrs E. Goodwin, applying for three trees.Mr Jennings moved that the request be complied with. Seconded by Mr Young, and carried.

Mr Dower, on behalf of Mr Hartland who was unavoidably absent, reported that the trees could not be obtained at Brunnings, but that firm knew where they were to be got, and promised to secure them, when they would communicate with the secretary.

Cr Mason moved and Cr Oates seconded, that Dr Plowman be appointed treasurer to the fund. Carried.

Dr Plowman moved that Saturday, 13th July be fixed as the day for planting the trees. Seconded by Cr Mason and carried. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 15 June 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

An Open Letter in a Normal Sized Envelope

By Stuart McCullough IT’S quite old-fashioned, in a way. To send someone a letter in this day and age runs the very real risk of being viewed as either quaint or Amish or maybe a little bit of both. North Korean Supreme Leader (a title that I previously thought belonged to Diana Ross) sent a letter to President Trump, the result of which is that the summit that was on, then cancelled, is – to use the official language preferred by the State Department - back on like Donkey Kong. It must have been quite a letter.

I’m making an assumption, of course. They didn’t show the actual letter on the news, just the envelope.

And it was, put simply, enormous.

It was big enough to fit one of those ‘sorry you’re leaving’ cards that everyone signs whenever one of your colleagues gets a new job. Perhaps Kim Jong-un got everyone in the office to scrawl a message to the President and enclosed a Myer gift card. Little wonder that the meeting’s now going ahead. Nothing generates good will more than a fifty-dollar gift card. It’ll give President Trump the chance to buy a second tie and give the red one a well-deserved rest.

Then again, maybe it wasn’t a card at all. Perhaps Kim Jong-un has gigantic handwriting. The stationery must be far bigger than anything Kikki-K has to offer. Did he include a drawing? Pressed flowers? The mind boggles. Perhaps it’s simply that the letter settled a key sticking point, like which McDonalds in Singapore

they’d be meeting at. You couldn’t tell me that –despite their differences – the one thing these two would have in common is an unshakeable faith in a Big Mac. That said, I wouldn’t put it past Kim Jong-un to order a Fillet O Fish as part of some next-level Jedi-style mind game. No one ever expects a Fillet O Fish. No one.

Then again, the two of them could go out for pizza. As a New Yorker, it goes without saying that President

Trump has done many a deal over a slice of pepperoni pizza. For his Trumpiness, it wouldn’t matter what kind of pizza he ordered, so long as it had a stuffed crust. He’s definitely a stuffed crust kind of guy. As for Kim Jong-un, there’s little doubt he’d plump for a Super Supreme (Leader) family size pizza, washed down by a gallon of Diet Coke. After eating, they should go paintballing.

What should we read into North

Korea’s over-sized envelope? Surely it has to be some kind of symbol.

A warning, if you will. For a nation that has been accused of pushing the envelope, it can be no accident that when said envelope finally appeared, it’s large enough to use as a tent.

Then again, I only saw the back.

Perhaps the envelope is only as big as necessary to fit a North Korean stamp. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if every stamp carried a portrait of the Supreme Leader and there was some kind of nutso rule that said no picture of Kim Jong-un could be anything less than life-size, resulting in very, very big envelopes.

It wasn’t just that Kim Jong-un sent a letter. It was that the letter was delivered by hand. Think, for a moment, what a tough job that would be. You have to fly from North Korea to America to hand deliver a letter; never letting that thing out of your sight, even for an instant. The letter probably got its own seat on the plane. You’d kick yourself if, having arrived in town early, you accidentally left it in the bathroom at the Smithsonian or spilt a little ketchup on it while at the baseball. As it was, the envelope appeared to be entirely blemish-free.

As cute as a letter might be, it’s more labour intensive than, say, a phone call. It suggests that the parties are yet to establish a Kennedy/ Khrushchev-style Bat phone. Maybe they ought to. It would glow red whenever one wanted to speak to the other. I think it’d be safer than a more modern instant messaging option or

Skype. Too much could go wrong.

One moment, there’s peace in our times; the next someone uses the term ‘covfefe’ which, as fate would have it, translates as ‘your mother is a goatherder’ in Korean and, in the blink of an eye, you have nothing short of anarchy. Perhaps it’s no surprise that they’re communicating by letter – where every word can be considered – rather than something more modern.

It’s weird to say it, but this is potentially the most important play-date in history. All anyone can hope is that they get along; which is a big ask given the personalities involved. Each of them should bring the other a present.

It’s well known that North Korea’s leader is a huge fan of basketball and computer games, so it should be easy to get him something to break the ice.

Maybe not ‘World of War Craft’, lest he should go getting any ideas. As for the President, perhaps a suit from Kim Jong-un’s signature range for larger men. They’re surprisingly comfortable, not to mention slimming.

It must have been some letter.

I guess it doesn’t matter how big the writing or whether he used a typewriter, fountain pen or crayon; so long as things are moving forward.

The mind boggles at how the discussion will go. Hunkered over Big Macs in a roped off part of McDonaldland, the fate of the Korean Peninsula will be determined. If it goes well, I’ll be sure to congratulate them. By letter, of course. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Frankston YCW slump to four straight losses DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn SORRENTO have piled further misery on Frankston YCW, claiming victory in a bruising contest at David Macfarlane Reserve on Saturday.

Coming off the back of three consecutive defeats, Frankston YCW faced a tough challenge to break their losing run against the in-form ladder leaders on Sorrento’s home turf.

Sorrento initially looked the better team in the early stages of the match, going into the quarter time break with a comfortable buffer of 14 points.

Chris Dawes looked to stamp his authority on the contest with a number of big early marks for Sorrento. He was matched up on Frankston YCW defender BJ Credlin, with the Sorrento forward having a significant size advantage over his opponent.

As the game progressed though, Credlin was able to get the better of Dawes, as Frankston YCW worked their way back into the contest with a big second quarter.

Sorrento went into the half time break only three points ahead, and to make things worse they were playing a man down after Jack Grant was forced off for the game in the second quarter following a head knock.

With momentum on their side and a half of football to play, Frankston YCW might’ve been considered favourites to run away with the contest, but Sorrento did well to persist despite playing a man down. Shannon Gladman stood up with a big performance to swing the game Sorrento’s way, and the Sharks went into the final term with a narrow seven point advantage.

Frankston YCW remained within an arm’s reach of the game, but ultimately the strength of Sorrento’s big guns was too much to overcome, as the Sharks ran out 14 point winners

over Frankston YCW, 12.14 (86) to 10.12 (72).

Chris Dawes finished with four majors for Sorrento, while Lachlan Street performed valiantly to put away four goals of his own in a losing effort for the Stonecats.

Now having lost four matches on the trot, Frankston YCW will have a week off to lick their wounds and collect themselves.

Mt Eliza hosted the only other game of MPNFL Division One football for the weekend, as the other teams enjoyed a bye.

Mt Eliza took on Frankston Bombers in what would prove to be a difficult game at Emil Madsen Reserve.

They started strongly with a two goal to zero first quarter, and went into the first break with a 13 point lead.

Things didn’t get any better from that point on for the Bombers, as they struggled to make any impact on the scoreboard. Despite having more scoring shots for the quarter, Frankston went into the main break having kicked no goals and a miserable eight behinds.

Mt Eliza failed to kick a goal in the third term but still went into the threequarter time break with a fifteen point advantage. Suddenly it was Mt Eliza who couldn’t buy a goal, as Frankston Bombers began to fight back while their opponents struggled.

In the final quarter Mt Eliza could only muster up three paltry behinds, while Frankston Bombers were able to put two goals on the scoreboard.

Despite a late fightback, Frankston Bombers couldn’t quite get over the line, as they fell to Mt Eliza in a scrappy contest 4.12 (36) to 3.15 (33).

Floating to victory: Mt Eliza just got the chocolates against Frankston Bombers.

Tyabb storm home to claim second win DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn A SEVEN goal final quarter blitz from Tyabb has seen them secure their second win for the season, as they bested Devon Meadows and Bunguyan Reserve.

Tyabb were slow out of the gates, and found themselves with their backs to the wall as they fell behind by 15 points at quarter time.

They continued to slowly work their way into the game, and were only behind by a goal at the half time break. Devon Meadows continued to work hard but couldn’t stem the flow of goals, as Tyabb finally took the lead going into the three-quarter time break, with the margin only standing at a solitary point.

Despite looking set up for a close finish, the final quarter was uncompetitive, as Tyabb blew the game apart with a stunning run of seven unanswered goals.

Jake Anderson was the best on ground for the winning side, as he put away seven majors for Tyabb to take his tally for the season to 23.

Tyabb are now one game clear of the bottom of the ladder, having put away Devon Meadows 17.17 (119) to 13.9 (87).

Crib Point were also looking for

their second win of the year on Saturday, as they hosted Pearcedale at Crib Point Recreation Reserve.

Pearcedale started things off on the right foot, holding their struggling Crib Point opponents scoreless in the first term.

Things went from bad to worse for lowly Crib Point, as they could only manage one goal to Pearcedale’s seven in the second term, with the lead blowing out to 49 points in half time.

Crib Point were able to restore some respectability with a good second half showing, but ultimately could do little to stop Pearcedale, as the final siren sounded with Pearcedale ahead 5.6 (36) to 13.9 (87) Laughlin Cowell was best on ground with five goals for Pearcedale, with his teammate Ben Mitchell also contributing five goals in his first game for the year.

Elsewhere Chelsea battled hard to secure a win over Rye at RJ Rowley Reserve in a win that took them up to second place on the ladder.

Led by a four goal performance by Jack Francis, Chelsea were able to outmuscle their difficult opponents.

Chelsea entered the game as heavy favourites, but Rye showed they were not to be taken lightly, with Chelsea only holding an eight point advantage at the half time break.

After the main break Chelsea took the game by the scruff of the neck, with a six goal to two quarter being enough to see them secure a victory 12.11 (83) to 15.17 (107).

In the final game of the split round, Hastings were able to claim a comfortable victory over Langwarrin at Thomas Barclay Oval.

Hastings got out of the blocks with pace, taking a three goal lead into the first break. Langwarrin were put on the back foot early, and struggled to ever work their way back into the contest.

Hastings’ star man Luke Hewitt contributed with his second consecutive four goal performance, while his goal kicking opponent at the other end of the ground was kept quiet. Normally dominant Langwarrin forward Jesse Murphy was limited to just one major for the game.

Hastings kept their convincing lead throughout the day, running out 13.13 (91) to 9.10 (64) winners.

Line dance: Hastings scooted to victory against Langwarrin.

Frankston Pines too slick for Strikers SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines combined pace with a slick counter-attacking style to overrun Peninsula Strikers 5-2 in Saturday’s State 2 South-East derby at Centenary Park.

Strikers started on a positive note and in the 6th minute a cross from Tommy Hawkins on the right set up Ryan Thompson whose shot was parried for a corner by Pines’ keeper Jarrod Nardino.

Two minutes later Pines ruthlessly exposed the lack of pace in the Strikers’ defence when CJ Hodgson sent Mitch Lander clear through the middle and his left-foot strike from the edge of the area flew past advancing Strikers’ keeper Ash Kupre to make it 1-0.

The home team’s defence was found wanting again in the 14th minute when it failed to deal with a long throw from the left and when Pines’ captain Graham Hill was tripped inside the box referee Manny Haractsis pointed to the spot.

Hodgson had no problem converting and Strikers were staring into the abyss.

Pines were forced into a reshuffle in the 28th minute when Luca Vanni had to be replaced by big Ioasa Saemo who joined Lander up front with Hill reverting to central defence.

Strikers hit back in the 34th minute when Pines’ defenders failed to attack a Danny Brookes cross from the left and Thompson was at the back post to sidefoot home.

Lander should have restored Pines’ two-goal cushion four minutes later but his close-range effort was blocked.

In the 41st minute Chapman came off second best in a clash with Saemo which incensed Strikers’ bench but appeals to the nearby assistant referee to become involved fell on deaf ears.

Saemo was booked and Chapman had to be replaced at half-time by Kevin Derry.

In the 56th minute Lander again motored onto a pinpoint Hodgson through ball only to blast his attempt high and wide.

Three minutes later Strikers’ central defender Michael Nugent headed wide from a Ryan Wilson free-kick from the right.

In the 61st minute Brookes switched play to the right with a superb pass and Nathan Smith showed great control to bring the ball down as he charged into the area but his low shot flashed wide of the far post.

A minute later it was 3-1 after Jack Carter sent Lander down the left and

his cutback was knocked in by Saemo from point-blank range.

Kupre was injured in the process but after a lengthy treatment period was able to continue which was just as well as there was no back-up keeper on the bench.

In the 72nd minute Steve McClelland took too long to clear allowing Lander to block then tuck away the rebound to make it 4-1.

A brilliant break in the 84th minute was triggered by Kurt Wagner-Goldsworthy who sent Hodgson clear on the right and his low cross in behind the defensive line was slammed in by Saemo to make it 5-1.

In the 91st minute Wilson did well on the left of the area and his cutback found Thompson who was brought down.

Wilson converted the resultant penalty to round off the scoreline.

When the final whistle sounded it confirmed what we’d all known for some time – there was only one team out there that was prepared to meet the physical and mental demands of a derby.

The other team received a scathing assessment of its performance from

coach Lenny Greenan in a hushed Strikers’ dressing room straight after the match.

Femi Orenuga’s association with the club has ended due to visa problems.

It’s believed that the former Everton academy striker has been sent back to the UK by Australian authorities.

Although Strikers are now five points behind Pines in the race to avoid the drop there is some good news at Centenary Park.

The club hopes to sign two players from South Melbourne’s NPL under20s squad and another two from State 1 South-East outfit Morwell Pegasus this week.

Meanwhile Pines’ defender Luke Murray dismissed last week’s report that linked him with a switch to Seaford United but it’s believed that Somerville Eagles are keen to sign Pines’ playmaker Will O’Brien to bolster their promotion push in State 5 South.

In NPLW news local consortium Southern United lost 5-0 to Heidelberg United at Monterey Reserve on Sunday but made its more fancied opponent work every inch of the way.

Southern continued its player devel-

opment policy with two 16-year-olds, Sarah Tebbutt and Niamh Mclure, making their senior debuts in defence.

Hong Kong international Avery Lau leaves in early July to prepare for the Asian Games.

Southern gaffer Aaron Myatt is keen to bring in a striker and a central defender before the transfer window shuts at the end of the month.

He has been tracking a US striker currently playing in Sweden and Southern is investigating the possibilities of arranging a visa for her.

Southern’s under-12s recorded their biggest win of the season with a resounding 11-1 result.

Southern’s goals came from Emilia Ingles (4), Lauren Riha (2), Jasmine Smith (2), Eden McKeown (2) and Chiara Renzella.

The under-14s continued their title tilt with a 3-0 win thanks to goals from Candy Kilderry, Rhianna Cousens and Rhys McKenna.

The under-16s won 4-2 with Monique Lapenta (2), Haylea Porter and Briana Dias scoring for Southern while the under 19s lost 5-0 and featured a number of players from the under-14 group.

In NPL2 news Langwarrin lost 1-0 at home to Box Hill United last Saturday.

Attacking midfielder Mehdi Sarwari made his debut for Langy but former Melbourne Victory midfielder Callum Goulding has quit the club and is set to sign with another NPL outfit.

Langy had the best of the chances in the first half but Box Hill keeper Matt Nemes was in fine form denying Liam Baxter, Matt Luak and John Kuol.

Two minutes into the second half the visitors struck in a lightning-quick break that proved to be the decisive moment of the contest.

Anthony Rizk motored clear on the left and his far-post cross picked out the unmarked Andrew Le Page whose low first-time volley gave Langy keeper Robbie Acs no chance.

Box Hill proved to be tough to break down for the rest of the match while maintaining a threat on the break.

Langy is considering whether or not to add to its senior squad and a decision is imminent given that the NPL transfer window shuts this week.

In State 3 South-East news Skye United dropped to third after Brighton defeated Seaford United 2-0 at Dendy Park last weekend thanks to an 18thminute goal from David Nicholas and an injury-time second from Nick Bale.

With Boroondara-Carey easily accounting for Collingwood in the other catch-up match Skye now is two points off the pace.

Skye should learn the extent of the recent knee injury to captain Marcus Collier this week while defender Saj Sugrim has joined Endeavour United.

In State 4 South news Baxter has lost midfielder Matt Morgan to Hampton Park United while striker Liam Kilner has quit citing work reasons.

But Baxter head coach Francis Beck is buoyed by the anticipated influx of five newcomers from local clubs and they are all expected to train at Baxter Park this week.

Next weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Langwarrin v Ballarat City (Lawton Park), Geelong Galaxy Utd v Southern Utd (Banyul Warri Reserve), Malvern City v Mornington (Kooyong Park), Peninsula Strikers v Mazenod (Centenary Park), Frankston Pines v Doncaster Rovers (Monterey Reserve), Brighton v Skye Utd (Dendy Park), Seaford Utd v Noble Park Utd (North Seaford Reserve), Springvale City v Baxter (Ross Reserve), Somerville Eagles v White Star Dandenong (Somerville Secondary College), Aspendale v Bunyip District (Jack Grut Reserve).

Clarke claims third in “brutally hard” race

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON Cycles owner Brad Clarke competed in one of the world’s toughest mountain bike races in South Africa on Wednesday 28 March.

Clarke partnered with common competitor, Rohin Adams, in the gruelling eight-day Absa Cape Epic race and covered more than 650km of rugged land.

With 650 teams entered into the competition, the pair managed to claim third place in the Masters category (40-49 years old) and finished 30th overall.

For Clarke, it was his second time attempting the race which included 13,530m of climbing – that’s one and half times higher than Mt Everest and the first word that came to his mind when describing the course was “untamed”.

“It’s just rugged, raw and brutally hard,” he said. “Every single kilometre you have to work for.”

“There are no easy trails, and if a section did look easy, it’d be full of sand or jagged rocks.”

While the track is incredibly demanding physically and mentally, Clarke said that that is exactly the sort of challenge which lures him back.

“It’s a real adventure and an amazing event,” he said.

“It’s extremely rewarding after you’ve put in all of that hard work in training, and then to complete the course as well.”

It has taken Clarke just over six months of training to prepare for the race in which he competed against some of the best riders from around the world.

Having competed once before, he knew exactly what it took to prepare for the event but said it was “actually tougher than the first time”.

“I was a bit naive [the first time] and didn’t realise what I had gotten myself into,” he said.

“That’s why it was tougher this time as I knew exactly what I was in for. Whenever I got unwell in the lead-up to the race, it would stress me out a lot.

“You’ve got to get yourself to be able to commit to really hard, tough training to get to that top level. There are more hours a week that you need to put in, and it’s a bit more specific training to the race as well as you need to be able to ride for 100 kilometres at full speed.

“You have those ups and downs in the preparation but [having competed before] it helped give me the confidence that I was undertaking the right training.”

There was no financial gain for Clarke in undertaking this adventure but he said that overcoming the challenges of the course has been a massive reward.

Clarke doesn’t believe he is ready to back up again next year but said he would “definitely like to go back”.

He thinks 2020 would be a possibility but it would “depend on my situation and how I’m travelling.”

Western Port push persistent Gators BASKETBALL

THE Western Port Steelers fought valiantly but were unable to pull off an upset in their clash against top of the table Shepparton Gators in Division One Big V competition last Saturday.

Western Port’s Dylan Travis did his best to help his side to victory with an impressive 31 point performance, but ultimately it was not enough to earn a win.

Shepparton Gators proved too strong for their opponents, with Matt Bartlett, Cameron Vines, and Spencer Coleman scoring 28, 26, and 22

Frankston

points respectively.

Western Port stayed in contention, but ultimately fell short by 9 points (79-70) as Shepparton secured their eighth consecutive win.

Elsewhere in Division One, the Chelsea Gulls squared up against the Sunbury Jets in a clash they would have been strongly expected to win.

The 3rd vs 11th clash saw Chelsea stretch their muscle to extend their winning run to five straight games.

The bulk of Chelsea’s points came from Corey Standerfer and Matthew Brasser, who scored 45 points between them.

Sunbury Jets remained in the con-

test, but could not push on to claim an upset win, as the Chelsea Gulls secure the victory (81-73).

In Division Two Basketball, the Southern Peninsula Sharks secured 4th place on the table with an emphatic victory over last place North East Bushrangers.

Colin Voss was the standout performer for Southern Peninsula, as he put up 26 points, making 10 of his 15 attempted shots.

Lloyd Wright was the shining light for the Bushrangers with a valiant 23 point effort, but it was little help as his side went down to the Southern Peninsula Sharks (61-77).

Last Sunday also saw the Mornington Breakers pull of a dominant victory over the Coburg Giants in Women’s Division Two Competition.

The two sides, placed 8th and 9th going into the round, looked as if they would be evenly matched at the start of the game, but the final score told a far different story.

Ashleigh Wright and Erin Ludwick were the star performers for Mornington, as they put up 53 points between the two of them.

Coburg never got close to a rampant Mornington, with the final margin standing at an astonishing 31 points (51-82)

Big V competition has been on break as the teams earned a well deserved rest, but will be back up and running this weekend.

This weekend will see the Mornington Breakers travel to Darebin Stadium to take on the Collingwood All Stars in Women’s Division Two action.

In Men’s Division Two, Southern Peninsula Sharks will take on Pakenham Warriors next Sunday. Division One action on Saturday will see Shepparton Gators host the Chelsea Gulls, while the Sunbury Jets will host the Western Port Steelers.
