Generous support for homeless plan

Taking it to the streets: Frankston councillor Glenn Aitken accepts generous donations from Frankston residents in support of a trial project to provide low-cost rental homes to the homeless. Picture: Yanni

FRANKSTON shoppers have dug deep into their pockets to support a council backed initiative to house homeless people. Frankston Council will trial a 12-month program, due to begin in July, to offer three homes to nine homeless individuals for minimal rent in an effort to help turn lives around (‘Magpies plan spreads wings’, The Times 1/4/15). The ‘Magpies Nest’ model has been successfully piloted by Collingwood Football Club and helps people sleeping rough on the streets or in unsafe rooming houses. A similar scheme in the US to offer homes to the homeless called Housing First, first trialled in Salt Lake City in Utah, has been rolled out to other US cities since it has been proven to save government money in the long term. Cr Glenn Aitken and volunteers hit the streets of Frankston earlier this month for two day to “rattle buckets” for the cause. Passersby donated about $2500 over two days at Shannon Mall. “There were people putting in $50 notes,” Cr Aitken said. “Some people said they had been homeless themselves and were happy to give money because they’d been there.” Salvation Army records show 2,200 “unique clients” sought emergency housing in Frankston in 2012-13 and there are 600 “repeat clients”. To make a donation visit the front counter at Frankston Civic Centre, 30 Davey St, Frankston or post a cheque to ‘The Homeless Fund’, Frankston City Council, PO Box 490, Frankston.

FRANKSTON’S reputation as a poverty stricken suburb has seen it named as favourite to host a second season of controversial SBS documentary TV series Struggle Street. Major online bookmaker Sportsbet has nominated Frankston as the joint favourite suburb, alongside the NSW suburb of Minto, to “feel the wrath of

our multicultural broadcaster in season 2 of the show”. Community leaders and some residents in Mt Druitt, the subject of Struggle Street, are angry at the suburb’s portrayal as a crime-ridden hotbed of mental illness and substance abuse. Some have labelled the show voyeuristic “poverty porn”. SBS describes Struggle Street as “observing the voices and stories of a cross-section of the western Sydney

community struggling to get by while facing overwhelming personal and social challenges”. A media release by Sportsbet last Thursday (7 May) asked “could there be more of a bogan cliché than Frankston?” and brought the suburb to the attention of SBS. “Frankston has everything producers could possibly want in a location for a second series – flannos, ugg boots and even a Lowes store,” spokesman Christian Jantzen said in

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke defended the suburb’s reputation. “Frankston doesn’t need its most disadvantaged residents to be reality TV fodder which reinforces old, tired and negative stereotypes,” he said. “I’d invite anyone to come celebrate how great Frankston is and witness the work going on in our community to help give people the chances they need in life before they take a cheap shot at them.” Continued Page 8

the media release. When contacted by The Times on Friday Mr Jantzen was quick to stress “this is just a bit of fun”. “It’s all in jest and it’s nothing against Frankston which is a beautiful place and has a lovely beach.” He said Frankston is “probably the next most clichéd suburb for Struggle Street” after Mt Druitt. Mr Jantzen said he had in fact visited Frankston on several occasions and “never had any problems at all”.

Combo is cream of the crop KHIA Wishart has scooped the main prize in a nationwide competition to create a new ice cream flavour combo. The 27-year-old Frankston resident’s creativity in designing an ice cream combo including raspberries, caramel and dried fig pieces, aptly named ‘Unfigetable Summer Delight’ won her a new Fiat car worth $17,000. “It was a bit of a random thing. I don’t usually enter competitions but heard they were having a competition to win a car,” she said. “Years ago I gave the only car I

had to my grandma.” The contest was held by Cold Rock. When told she had won the car, Khia said she initially believed it was one of her mates playing “a prank”. The keys to the Fiat were handed over in Frankston earlier this month. Khia said she is still finding it difficult to believe she won the car. “It was something I wasn’t expecting. It’s incredible,” she said.

that we were willing to talk to each other,” Cr Aitken said. He said there will be an interim period of management to “work through all the processes” but no firm agreement had been reached as yet. There is no intention to permanently close the track, according to Cr Aitken. Frankston Motorcycle Club president Ralph Ridley said Friday’s meeting was better than an initial meeting with council officers. “Their [council’s] attitude certainly was a lot different to the one we had prior to that,” he said. Mr Ridley believed council and Motorcycling Victoria now realised they need club committee members to help run day-to-day operations and “physically open the place up”. The club now plans to meet with MV and hopes to work with both council and MV to reopen the track. “We want to discuss exactly what MV’s plans are, what they expect of us and what their price structures are,” Mr Ridley said. Police are continuing to investigate the fatality at the track. Senior Constable Darren Morgansaid a report will be prepared for the coroner. Council is seeking two community motorcycling representatives to join the transition committee. Email George.Vass@frankston.vic.gov.au

THE Frankston City Motorcycle Track remains closed after a motocross rider’s death at the venue last month. Frankston Council ordered the Frankston Motorcycle Club to close the Seaford venue after a 20-year-old man died after a collision with a fellow racer on Saturday 4 April. Council has set up a transition committee, chaired by Cr Glenn Aitken, to hand over management of the track to Motorcycling Victoria. Members of the Frankston Motorcycle Club are angry at council’s decision to effectively oust the club and some voiced their displeasure at this month’s public council meeting. A barrage of questions was submitted by members of the club sitting in the public gallery last Monday (4 May). Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said answers would be provided by the transition committee “in due course”. The majority of club members want the club’s volunteer committee to continue managing the track and fear track fees will be too costly if MV step in to oversee operations. Council representatives met with the motorcycle club’s committee late on Friday afternoon to try to find a way to reopen the track as soon as possible. Cr Aitken said the meeting was “constructive” and “eventually went very well”. “I think it’s reasonable to say there was a considerable breakthrough in

Naked man nabbed

VOLUNTEERS at Peninsula Health’s Assistance and Care in Emergency program (ACE) are celebrating a decade of providing support to patients and families during what is always a difficult time – a trip to the emergency department. A volunteers’ appreciation lunch was held last week as a part of National Volunteers Week. About 750 volunteers assist at Peninsula Health - with 100 in the ACE program. “Volunteers come from different walks of life but they all share the common goal of wanting to help others,” Peninsula Health volunteer program manager Helen Wilson said. “It can be really amazing because you get all sorts of people, young and old, working together and developing strong friendships.” Nursing student Meg Ridley, 20, had no idea about the ACE program until she walked into Frankston Hospital’s emergency department and asked a nurse how she could help. “It’s been even more rewarding than I expected,” she said. “I’m younger than most of the other volunteers but the ladies at Frankston are so much fun. We often go out for lunch together. “Supporting people in serious cases can be really hard, but half the time it’s as simple as just being there for them. Lots of parents appreciate our help too; they can have a quick toilet break or move the car while we play with the kids. “As a nursing student who’s worked in Emergency before, I know how busy emergency staff are. I know they would love to provide that extra support but it’s just not possible, that’s why ACE is so important.” Retiree Dilys Yap has been an ACE volunteer at Rosebud Hospital’s emergency department since the program launched. “I saw an ad in the paper for volunteers and thought I’d give it a go,” he said. “When I first came on I wondered what on earth I would do. “On one of my first shifts I went over to a couple who seemed very distressed and, after a brief chat, found out the husband was wor-

ried because he’d left the heater on at home. I promised to stay with his sick wife while he went to turn it off. “We had a long, calm chat and when the nurse came to check her blood pressure it had gone from

very high to normal. I knew then that what I was doing was important. “People sometimes say we should be getting paid but I don’t think they get it, our work is its own reward.”

Council flies the flag for all THE rainbow flag will be raised at Frankston Council’s civic centre on Friday 15 May to recognise Sunday’s IDAHOT Day. The International Day Against Homophobia & Transphobia started in 2004 to draw the attention of policymakers, opinion leaders, social movements, the public and the media to the violence

and discrimination experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and/or intersex people internationally. May was chosen for raising the flag across the world to commemorate the World Health Organisation’s 1990 decision to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder.

FOLLOWING tip-offs from several readers, Frankston Police have confirmed there were numerous calls to report the naked man walking along Cranbourne Rd last Thursday afternoon (30 April). Sergeant Blair Jeans said a Boneo man in his late 30s was arrested and charged with offensive behaviour. Police found the man using playground equipment at school grounds at Frankston East Primary School, Ashleigh Avenue, during class time hours. The man walked along Cranbourne Rd at about 2.45pm on the Thursday afternoon (‘The adventures of naked man’, The Times 4/5/15).

Forum forms young perspective A YOUTH leaders’ forum to celebrate National Youth Week in Isaacs last week attracted more than 50 high school students from 14 schools in years 10-12. The forum – initiated by Isaacs MP Mark Dreyfus and held at Mordialloc Secondary College on Friday - had the theme: ‘It Starts With Us.’ It aimed to showcase potential young leaders and encourage high school students to become more active in their communities. A question-and-answer panel session discussed the topic: ‘What issues matter to young people today?’ It was led by Gaby Perdomo, Arielle Rutman, Daniel Poole and Hunter Johnson. They also discussed other topics relevant to young Australians, such as International development, environment, mental health and technology, and took questions from the floor. “Young people are very connected to what’s happening around them and it’s great to be able to hold a forum for National Youth Week to discuss the issues that matter to young people in our community,” Mr Dreyfus said. “It was wonderful to see so many eager and enthusiastic young people sharing their views

at my forum. I thank Arielle, Daniel, Gaby and Hunter for attending and for sharing their knowledge and experience. “I am often contacted by young residents about issues such as climate change, the National Broadband Network and Gonski school reforms. It’s important that the government hears what young people care about, and I am glad that this forum has been able to provide a platform for local young residents to have their voices heard.” Mr Dreyfus described the National Youth Week as an annual celebration of young people throughout Australia - a joint initiative of the federal, state, territory and local governments – giving young people an opportunity to express their ideas and views, and highlights their achievements. It is the second forum he has held, after last year’s success. Each year, events are hosted around Australia to celebrate and recognise the contribution of young people. More than 20,000 young people from metropolitan, regional and rural Victoria joined in National Youth Week activities.

The beat goes on: John Wells has defied the odds to survive throat cancer and is back on the road starring in tribute shows to Roy Orbison and The Eagles. Pic: Gary Sissons

The shows must go on THE Big O has survived the Big C. Entertainer-at-large John Wells, who regularly performs at venues around Frankston as Roy Orbison in a tribute show, was stopped in his tracks by a throat cancer diagnosis four years ago. The singer, guitarist and drummer said when he was told he was not expected to live more than three months when diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer. “I was told I’d never sing again … and I’ve kind of beaten the odds a bit.” After spending about a year recuperating after surgery, radiotherapy and chemo Wells decided to get back on the road part-time and team up again with his Drawcard Entertainment co-

founder Norbert Graetzer. Wells, a non-smoker, thinks passive smoking from the years playing pubs and clubs may be to blame for his throat cancer and is glad smoking in enclosed venues is now banned. “We didn’t know any different back then,” he said. Wells said the first troubling sign something was amiss came when a sore throat was followed about four months later by a lump forming on his neck. “They took the cancer out … it was right on my vocal chords.” The 50-year-old Chelsea resident praised staff at The Alfred for their “amazing” work. In recent months Wells has been in

and out of hospital due to a recurring Golden Staph infection. “I’ve lost the use of one of my hands but I’m one of the lucky ones,” he said. Wells is focused on extending his three decades and counting career in the entertainment business. “Everything that Drawcard does raises money for somebody. We’re all about helping others. It’s pretty rewarding.” John Wells will perform at The Australian Eagles and Little River Band Tribute Show at Longbeach RSL, Chelsea on Friday 15 May. See drawcardentertainment.com.au for details.

Expo gives students inside view of jobs

Bookie puts Frankston on struggle street

JOBS and careers of all sorts were the focus of last week’s Frankston Mornington Peninsula Careers and Jobs Expo at Mornington Racecourse. The event was designed to help the students and school leavers make informed decisions on their futures. It showed them what jobs were on offer, what skills and abilities were required, and how they should go about getting into them. Expert information and advice is regarded as the most important thing when planning young peoples’ careers - or a career changes. The event’s focus on interactivity saw many hands-on activities offered, including a tyre change pit-stop challenge, fitness tutorials, barista workshop, brick laying, building and plumbing. Hands-on demonstrations and ‘Try a trade’ stalls were put on by some of the 80 exhibitors. Experts from Chisholm Tafe, Monash and Deakin universities, Peninsula Health, Australian Institute of Personal Training, and Department of Health and Human Services were represented. This was the first year Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston City Council have co presented a joint careers expo.

Continued from Page 1 Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show Frankston is nowhere near the top of the nation’s list of most disadvantaged suburbs. When this was put to Mr Jantzen he said about 80 per cent of punters had backed Frankston as the most likely location for any second series of Struggle Street. A spokeswoman for SBS told The Times there have been no discussions to decide whether to commission a second series of Struggle Street. The three-part series was produced by Keo Films and was part funded by Screen Australia. Mr Jantzen said all bets will be void if SBS does not commission a second series. “Punters will get their money back.” He said filming of any second series of Struggle Street will have to begin this year for Sportsbet to pay out. Despite - or perhaps because of - the negative publicity surrounding Struggle Street, the show has been a ratings success for SBS. OzTAM ratings revealed 1.31 million viewers watched the show’s first episode last Wednesday evening, to give SBS it highest-ever audience for a documentary. Frankston Council was contacted for comment about Frankston being named a likely location for a second series of Struggle Street but mayor Cr Sandra Mayer was unavailable before deadline.

New regional push to boost city’s economy THE Proudly Frankston Campaign is sowing the seeds for a regional committee to work on improved economic, social, cultural and environmental outcomes. The business-funded Committee for Frankston would function like established advocacy groups throughout Australia, including Victorian regional committees at Geelong and Ballarat. The role of the committee would be thought leadership, advocacy, intervention and influencing outcomes that deliver increased economic activity and employment opportunities in the region. Proudly Frankston president Alan Wickes said a steering committee now had the task of taking to the community a clear message about how a Committee for Frankston’s would operate. “It needs a regional focus and we must get a commitment of funding from the business community at the outset,” Mr Wickes said. The steering committee comprises Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden, former mayor Christine Richards, Frankston Rotary president-elect Grahame Gordon, Flinders Partners Group partner Tim Percival and chartered accountant Robert Thurley. Proudly Frankston hosted a breakfast at Frankston International on 5 May so that 50 people representing local government, business and education could hear Committee for Ballarat CEO John Kilgour explain his group’s activities. Mr Kilgour said his advice to a new Committee of Frankston would be to get together with all interest groups in the region, share expertise and collaborate on economic and social growth projects.

He said committees like Geelong and Ballarat were increasingly recognised as efficient and effective advocates of infrastructure, planning, employment and leadership projects. Such committees collaborate with government, private enterprise, health and education services to help plan and prepare staged development projects that deliver benefits across the region. “Governments tend to like it when you approach them collectively with well thought out projects that can be carried out over time and financed in smaller, bite-size pieces.” Mr Kilgour said Frankston should already be planning for a population doubling to 250,000 to 300,000 by 2050, “looking a long way past the four-year cycles of governments”. He said Frankston should be developing its own brand as a regional hub that already boasted capital city services like universities and hospitals. Proudly Frankston president Alan Wickes opened with: “Today our challenge is to make a good city even better.” “We are throwing down the gaunt-

let to anyone in the Frankston region passionate about thought leadership, advocacy, and influencing.” “We will not depend on government at any level, but the community.” Mr Wickes said he felt “extremely positive” about a Committee for Frankston getting off the ground. “We had an audience today representative of the community and it was telling that no-one left before the scheduled end. John Kilgour’s message was terrific, but we must remember that it was a message 10 years in the making.” Mr Wickes said a Committee for Frankston could emulate Ballarat, which chose a leadership program as a foundation project. Ten years on the experiential program has 240 graduates, the next cadre of community leaders. Ballarat’s committee also run a Young Adult Employment program and contributes to plans for major projects, including the Ballarat West Growth Zone and redevelopment plans for the old civic centre and Ballarat railway station.

Mr Wickes said an existing Committee for Frankston was invited to the breakfast, but appeared to be no longer active. “However, we stand ready to work with all Frankston and peninsula-focused organisations,” he said. While pressing for a representative committee targeting regional prosperity, Proudly Frankston has been establishing credentials as “a passionate supporter of our city”, said Mr Wickes. In two years the Proudly Frankston Campaign has launched a fully-subscribed Frankston Wine and Food Society and the annual Long Lazy Lunch that last November attracted more than 500 people to hear jazz great James Morrison. This year Morrison will extend his Frankston stay to take music master classes at Frankston High School for regional secondary students. As well as financing the master classes, Proudly Frankston has donated the money it has raised to local charities. Also, it has supported the proposed Frankston Park community entertainment centre.

Dolphin deaths lead to tighter rules for fishing

Beside the bay: The annual Walk for Western Port help raise money for the Dolphin Research Institute and awareness of threats to the environment. Picture: Justin Betts, Whitelight Photography

Bay ‘wonders’ open up on dolphin walk ABOUT 250 people and many of their pets walked around the foreshore near Hastings for this year’s Dolphin Research Institute’s Walk for Western Port. “We started the Walk for Western Port five years ago to open people’s eyes to the wonders of our bay,” the institute’s executive director Jeff Weir said. “The event is a key part of the Institute’s i sea, i care ambassador program and this year 24 schools were at the walk, from the municipalities of Frankston, Kingston and Mornington Peninsula. “This means that the experiences of the children on the day and the Western Port messages will be shared with

close to 15,000 people in their school communities.” The event is supported by Melbourne Water, which is responsible for managing the 2232 kilometres of rivers and creeks that flow into Western Port. Melbourne Water’s waterways manage (South-East region), Greg Bain, said that the bay’s environment was one of international significance and the event was a “great way” to learn more about the area and raise awareness of the many species that live there. Mr Weir credited Melbourne Water’s Western Port Science Review with “opening up many of Western Port's secrets”.

“A key finding of the study is that the mudflats support more than one per cent of the world's population of six species of birds,” he said. “They feed on a rich diversity of shrimps, worms and molluscs that live in the mud. To put this in perspective, one per cent of humans would mean over 60 million of us living in Western Port.” Mr Weir said sediment was “one of the problems” facing the bay because “of our actions in the catchment”. “Western Port's wetlands and mudflats act as giant kidneys to purify land-based run-off, stopping the bay from turning green like an aquarium with a clogged filter,” he said.

NEW restrictions have been imposed on the fishing industry following the deaths of eight dolphins and four fur seals during two offshore trips by the factory trawler, Geelong Star. The Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) says trawlers in the small pelagic fishery must now only fish during daylight while the Geelong Star has to prove if has taken “all reasonable steps … to minimise further marine mammal mortalities”. Boats operating within a defined management zone would face a sixmonth ban on fishing if a dolphin died as a result of their operations. The tightening of fishing rules is seen as a “significant win for marine mammals in Australian waters”, by Jeff Weir, executive director of the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute. “Our goal should be to eliminate marine mammal deaths as bycatch, most critically because we don’t know enough about the vulnerability of dolphin communities around our coast, so much more research is required,” he said. He said marine mammal deaths as bycatch in Australian waters is “bigger than the operation of the Geelong Star” and the DRI “welcomes the breadth of AFMA's announcement to include all small pelagic fisheries in Australian waters”. “Eight dolphin deaths in two trips are unacceptable,” the AFMA’s CEO Dr James Findlay said.

“We have said all along that the vessel management plan was a live document and we would be adaptive and responsive to ensure that all reasonable measures are in place to minimise harm to marine mammals.” Mr Findlay said the Geelong Star must be fitted with tamper proof cameras to monitor its fishing activity before setting sail for its third voyage. “In addition to e-monitoring, two AFMA officers will remain on board to closely observe the vessel’s operations,” he said. While encouraging the vessles operato, Seafish Tasmania, to work with marine mammal experts to ensure it stays “within the restrictive fishing conditions”, Mr Findlay said “all fishing poses risks that can sometimes lead to the unintentional harm to marine mammals”. Mr Weir said the AFMA's night fishing ban and threat to close the entire fishery if any dolphins die in future operations “is a strong evidence-based response”. “Some important research in this area has been funded by the federal government and these recent deaths confirm that this funding should be ongoing,” Mr Weir said. “Where there are gaps in our knowledge we need to undertake more research and use the precautionary principle to ensure the long-term protection of marine mammals in Australian waters.” Keith Platt

Runs on board helps fight against breast cancer A PINK Stumps Day cricket match at Patterson River Secondary College last Monday raised $600 for the Jane McGrath Foundation. The match pitted the college’s female staff against the Year 12 girls at lunchtime – with the teachers winning. “PE teacher Cameron Cox got behind it as breast cancer affects so many people and we all know people who have suffered with the disease,” teacher Janet Mitchell said. “All students embraced the challenge – with the boys selling cakes and helping with the face-painting. The male staff umpired and the students wore a touch of pink to support the cause. “Cricket, and the foundation, were the real winners of the day.”

Pink is the colour: Patterson River Secondary teachers and students go into bat in aid of the Jane McGrath Foundation.

Volunteers praised As it is volunteer week (11-17 May), I am writing to express my thanks to the wonderful volunteers at the Frankston Nature Conservation Reserve who are actively managing this beautiful area and working to restore habitat. It was also lovely to see Cr Darrel Taylor and family volunteering at the reserve recently. The volunteer team is working to prepare the reserve for public access and have completed eight hectares of weed removal. I thank [Frankston MP] Paul Edbrooke, our councillors, Rotary, university students, South East Water and Melbourne Water to name a few for their support with this amazing area. The 40-year anniversary at Sweetwater Creek is demonstrative of the power of volunteers leading by example. Volunteers I salute you! Kate Molloy, Frankston South

Close the park How pleasant it is to be able to enjoy my backyard on weekends and public holidays without the droning and revving emanating from the Frankston Motorcycle Park two kilometres away. How sad it is that the viability of this activity comes to light because of the death of a young man. For the peace and safety of all, Frankston Council should permanently close this park, which is close to residential areas and opposite an internationally recognised wetlands. Rodney Lloyd, Seaford

Swami’s compassion I read with interest your recurring accounts of events at the Ashram in Mt Eliza and the vilification of Swami Shankanandra.

I have only seen him being supportive and compassionate towards people in need and other friends outside of the ashram. Fair minded people will read into this that he has not been found guilty by law and that the perpetrators of the action against him had previously been willingly engaged in activities as persons above the age of consent and some married. A successful action would likely bring about a resolution of the substantial real estate owned by the swamaji (‘Yoga school to be wound up’, The Times 27/4/15). This is what can happen when greed is an even greater motivation than perceived sexual needs or karma. Anthony Nicholl, Mt Eliza

Under scrutiny Here in Mt Eliza we have a proliferation of minority resident action groups. One such group with strong connections to a major political party has been crowing about its success in convincing [former planning minister] Matthew Guy to remove our long held right to subdivide our large unmanageable properties. Flushed with their own success [members of] this group are now watching every resident in Mt Eliza. Not only do they want to re-educate residents into planting only native vegetation but also this vegetation must now be a local variety. And if you dare to make your property fire safe a discrete phone call of complaint is made to the council. Such is life in Mt Eliza where all are welcomed unless you dare to have different views to this minority group of watchdogs. Does this remind you of something? Per Carlsen, Mt Eliza

Art and business: John Paul Fischbach will show how art and business success do not have to be mutually exclusive.

The art of making a living IRISH singer Van Morrison has written about people thinking it “rather quaint” that “the great Rembrandt … didn't have enough money for his brushes” (The Great Deception). True or false, it’s often a struggle for artists to make a living from their skills. Luckily for Morrison, his musicianship is appreciated by millions of fans willing to buy his albums or attend his concerts. But that level of fame, and income, comes to just a small proportion of talented performing and visual artists. A seminar being held in Frankston this weekend aims to help artists make a living from their art. Billed as Secrets of Success, the seminar being held by Auspicious Arts Incubator teaches artists how to “succeed in the competitive business landscape”. “The world is in desperate need of artists. It kills me that artists are throwing in the towel just because they don't have the business and marketing skills to succeed,” the arts incubator founder and CEO John Paul Fischbach said. “Almost half of the Australian population is creatively engaged in some form of artistic creation, but only a tiny fraction possess the skills and experience to

transform their passion into a successful career. “Years of artistic effort can go unnoticed, but one day's attention to the business end of things can transform all of that.” The arts incubator was founded in 2007 after investigation by Arts Victoria, City of Melbourne and the Australia Council for the Arts revealed the need for more support in the small independent performing arts sector. Frankston Council is supporting the seminar. Mr Fischbach, a theatre and film director and producer, said the seminar “takes participants through a comprehensive evaluation of their own work as entrepreneurs, offering real tools to manage their finances, time and mental attitudes towards creativity as a rewarding and lucrative asset”. “What's common knowledge in other industries can be alien to artists, who frequently don't have access to the knowledge and resources required to develop longterm strategies.” The Secrets of Success seminar is at Cube 37, 37 Davey St, Frankston, 9.30am–5pm Saturday 16 May and two-hour sessions Sunday 17 May.

IT has been likened to the TARDIS in the TV science fiction series Doctor Who because it has the ability to change lives. The subject is Museum Victoria’s Talking Difference portable studio - designed to encourage conversation about cultural difference - is at Carrum Downs Library until 17 May and then moves to Frankston Library for a further two weeks on 18 May. The online media project aims at promoting diversity and challenging discrimination by encouraging people to view and create their own works in film, sound, image and text. It aims to further strengthen the Frankston community by widening people’s understanding and acceptance of cultural differences. The Talking Difference portable studio features a touch screen, HD camera, microphone and lights, allowing people to view multimedia content produced by others, and to respond with their own video, audio, text and drawing. Free workshops to help locals create video questions will be held 2-4pm, Wednesday 20 May, at Frankston Long Room. “The strength of Talking Difference is that the communities involved are effectively taking charge of new technologies to create

their own conversations about diversity and difference,” Immigration Museum community engagement manager Tatiana Mauri said. “Through the project, people not only become new media makers but also become champions for sharing ideas and dialogue about cultural identity and intercultural understanding.” VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter is encouraging locals to visit the Talking Difference studio at the two libraries. “VicHealth is really excited to support the studio to encourage dialogue about the benefits of cultural diversity and the harm caused by race-based discrimination,” she said. “We hope Frankston residents embrace the chance to have their say in this unique and creative way.” The project is a partnership between Frankston City Council, VicHealth, Museum Victoria and Artistic Merit. Talking Difference portable studio is at Carrum Downs Library, 203 Lyrebird Drive, Carrum Downs, until 17 May and Frankston Library, 60 Playne St, Frankston, 18-31 May.

Christians arrested after protest in Hunt’s ‘den’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au POLICE arrested the leaders of a Christian group who staged a sit-in protest last Wednesday at the Hastings electorate office of Flinders Liberal MP Greg Hunt. A Christian coalition of Uniting Church, Baptist Church, Church of Christ and Peninsula City Church members grouped under the Love Makes A Way banner turned up unannounced at Mr Hunt’s electorate office at 11am last Wednesday (6 May) to protest against the federal government’s asylum seekers policies. Love Makes A Way describes itself as “a movement of Christians seeking an end to Australia’s inhumane asylum seeker policies through prayer and nonviolent love in action”. Group members were detained in May last year after staging a sit-in prayer meeting and vigil at Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s office in Sydney. A similar protest by a group of Christian priests and nuns was held at Labor opposition leader Bill Shorten’s office at the same time as the sit-in at Mr Abbott’s electorate office. Staff at Mr Hunt’s office called police at about midday last Wednesday after protesters refused to leave until Mr Hunt backed a call for the Abbott government “to release all children” from the Nauru and Manus Island detention centres. Shortly before seven Christian leaders who had refused to leave the Hastings premises were arrested at 5.40pm later in the day, the Federal Environ-

ment Minister released a statement criticising the protesters. Mr Hunt questioned why Love Makes A Way members did not mention people smuggling in Europe when speaking to him about children detained at Nauru and Manus Island detention centres. “I am surprised they didn’t make an appointment with me and chose to arrive on a day I wasn’t in the office,” he said in the statement. “I am also surprised they have not raised the recent issue of deaths at sea in Europe caused by people smuggling.” Immigration Department figures show there are 227 children held in offshore detention centres. “The Love Makes a Way protest group is welcome to make a formal appointment to meet with me at any time,” Mr Hunt said.

“I respect their views and their right to a peaceful protest. I have spoken with them about their concerns over the phone.” About 20 Love Makes A Way members had also maintained a vigil outside the Hastings office while the sit-in took place. Mr Hunt stood by the Abbott government’s treatment of asylum seekers. “Under the previous government, we saw the fastest increase of people in detention. Since the Coalition came into government we have seen the fastest decline of people in detention and we are working to reduce that to zero. “Today I have spoken to the Prime Minister’s senior adviser on national security issues and have relayed the Love Makes A Way group’s request for a moratorium on any further transfers of asylum seekers to Naru or Manus Island and the immediate release of

all children into the community on the mainland. “I have also spoken to Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, who again reiterated that we have seen a 90 per cent decrease in people in detention since the Coalition came into government. He said he will not rest until all children are released from detention.” Mr Hunt echoed Mr Dutton’s view in his statement. “As a cabinet minister, I have committed that the government will reduce the number of children in detention and will not stop until there are no children in detention,” Mr Hunt said. Uniting Church Reverend Cameron McAdam told The Times Mr Hunt had made some “positive” comments but had not supported the Love Makes A Way group’s call to immediately end the detention of children at Nauru and Manus Island. “He definitely has a heart for resolving this issue … we’re keen to see a moratorium on any further children being moved to Manus or Nauru but he couldn’t do that. The Reverend said he appreciated Mr Hunt’s efforts to speak to Immigration Minister Peter Dutton on the group’s behalf. He praised police officers’ handling of the situation both before and after the arrests. Those arrested were not detained by police and were charged with trespass offences. “[An officer] made the comment that we were probably the friendliest protesters that he had ever dealt with,” Mr McAdam said. The Reverend was less impressed with Mr Hunt’s comment about the

group not mentioning deaths at sea in Europe. “We would be deeply concerned about people drowning at sea, whether that’s in Australia or Italy, and as a world community we’ve got to find a way for people to move between countries, especially those that are under threat. “We note the Italian government is rescuing rather than driving [boats] back so I refute that we don’t have any concern about that at all – that’s just rubbish.” A spokeswoman for Mr Hunt said the minister mentioned the deaths at sea in Europe because “he feels very strongly about the deaths that occurred at sea here and the result of not detaining people here will entice people smugglers to bring boats to Australia … he would rather have no lives lost at sea.” Senior Sergeant Steve McRae said police “did everything we did to prevent them being arrested and advised them several times in relation to consequences of standing in the foyer.” “We waited it out until about 5.30pm at night and gave them an ultimatum. The officer manager then revoked their licence to be there,” Sen Sgt McRae said. “Apart from the fact they actually didn’t move when we asked them to they were very cooperative. Nobody was injured during the protest.” He said the protesters “were prepared to be arrested for the cause”. Seven police officers were on site to deal with the situation. The protesters – six men and one women – could appear in court at a date yet to be fixed.

TUCKED away in an idyllic country lane, overlooking the Tanti Creek Reserve, this picturesque Californian bungalow home – circa 1912 – has a delightful terraced garden that cascades down to the creek, and an enchanting combination of old world glamour and contemporary appointments. Set in the gracious Beleura Hill area, this gorgeous home enjoys an astounding 1080 square metre setting, a mere stroll down to Mills Beach. Popular design features of the period are all here with soaring ceilings providing a wonderful sense of space and the open

fireplaces and Baltic floorboards add fabulous character to the light-filled interior. From the wide and welcoming entry, highlighted by a superb fireplace with a timber mantle rising to the ceiling, there is an adjoining formal lounge room with a boxed bay window. A separate dining and family room complements the country theme kitchen that has a central island bench, a fantastic array of cupboards and drawers and stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher. There are three bedrooms all with built-in robes, and for something special the main bedroom has a stylish ensuite

and access to a wonderful sun room with a tree top view. Intriguingly, the home now works its way down to two more bedrooms that share an updated bathroom, where there is also access out to a private balcony and rustic brickpaved alfresco dining area. From the street there is a return driveway leading up to a free-standing double garage. Every part of this lovely property has a story to tell and the wonderful block is full of established trees that envelope the home in a private cloak of green.

that may have a similar appearance. It is vital that any new changes noticed on your skin should be checked by a doctor experienced in detecting skin cancer before undertaking any laser treatment.

Whilst laser treatment improves the health and appearance of skin, it does not cure skin cancer. Laser therapists and skin cancer nurses at Peninsula Skin Cancer Centre, Prue and Helena, stressed

“All patients are recommended to have their skin checked before laser treatment as we know how common skin cancer is. One in three Australians will have skin cancer by the age of seventy, and we’ve had over 120 melanomas at our clinic in 2015 already� said Helena. “It’s an

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Peninsula football association open Compiled by Melissa Walsh

THE friends of Cr T. Ritchie will be pleased to learn that he is able to be about again after his recent illness. *** THE Secretary of The Frankston Football Club begs to acknowledge 10s 6d from Mr Gregory, as a donation towards the Club. *** MR R. T. Picking and family, who have resided in Frankston for some years, have removed to Glen Huntly during the winter months. The absence of the young ladies will be much felt, particularly in social and church work. *** MR W. S Price, dentist, of Bourke street, notifies that he will visit Frankston tomorrow (Sunday), and will be in attendance at Garrood’s Prince of Wales Hotel to receive patients. (Not St Pancras Hospital, as formerly). *** THE Sydney Music Publishing Co have secured the copyright to the popular song “She who gives her son” sung with immense success throughout Australia by Tilly Dunbar of the Fuller Vaudeville Circuit, the words being by Stephen Raffo and the music by W. Bass Hodge. Copies of the song may be obtained at Frankston, from Mrs Hays fancy goods emporium for 1s 6d per copy.

*** A MEETING of the contributors to the Frankston Patriotic Fund and of the Presentation Fund Committee will be held at the Mechanics’ Institute, Frankston, on Wednesday next at 8 p.m. The principal business will be financial. The hon treasurer informs us that he has a very substantial sum in hand and it is hoped that there will be a good muster at the meeting to discuss the financial statement and the disposal of the funds in hand. *** EMPIRE Day will be celebrated at the Frankston State School on Monday, 24th May, by the children having games etc at the school, during the afternoon, and to the evening a picture show will be given in the Mechanics’ Hall, to which the school children will be admitted on payment of 1d, and adults 6d, any surplus, after expenses are paid being given to the Belgian Fund. The picture show will commence at 7.30 p.m. *** WE call the attention of our readers to an advertisement in another column of the formation of a Fish Club at Hastings. The club affords a privilege hitherto unattained viz, the supply of fresh fish to the members at cost price plus the cost of distribution. The committee cannot undertake to send fish but the fish can be obtained at certain hours at Hastings after proper notice. Full particulars can be obtained on

application to Mr A. T Denham Hastings. *** AT the Mechanics’ Institute Frankston next Monday 17th May, the master magician “Linco” will present a unique up-to-date and spectacular entertainment consisting of the latest illusions and feats of slight of hand. In these advanced days when enter- tainments have been brought to such a “fine art”’ it is refreshing to find a performer like “Linco” who is really original to see him holding his audience one moment rocking with laughter and the next spellbound with amazement at the dexterity with which he performs one difficult feat after another undoubtedly merits him the title of the master magician. The entertainment will also be supported by a specially selected programme of up-to-date pictures commencing at 8 p.m. sharp. *** THE latest letters from Egypt received by relatives and friends of our local soldiers reached here the beginning of this week. One written by Driver A. G. Young was dated April 10th 1915. The troops were then at the Rest camp, a few miles out of Alexandria and they were on the move to the Dardenelles, where we have learned since, they have done such splendid work and where Australia is now living with her sons. ‘We are glad to get a move on’ the writer continues, ‘I am sure the actual

fighting will be preferable to this waiting, although this camp is much better than Mena, which we left in a blinding sand storm’. It was not long after this letter was written that the first casualty list was published, and each additional list is scanned eagerly for familiar names. Many and genuine were the expressions of regret when the name of Mr Olley, nephew of Mrs Sherlock, of this town, was found among the list of those who were killed when the first fighting took place. Quite a gloom was cast over Frankston on Monday, when word was received that Private R..H .Dawborn was wounded, and much sympathy is expressed for his relatives who are at present living in Melbourne after spending years in Frankston, where they are well known. News of Ray is anxiously waited for. Corporal H C. Ashmore is also among the wounded. Up to date all other Frankston boys are still fighting for King and country, fit and well. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason request us to notify that owing to the legal matters relative to Mr McArthur’s sale (as per preliminary advertisement) the date of this sale cannot yet be fixed. *** AT 5.50 p.m., on the 26th of April, in an unpretentious cottage in William Street, Frankston, surrounded by sorrowing relatives, there passed silently

and painlessly into the Life Eternal, one whose sojourn here had been a ministry of benefaction for many years. To withhold our tribute from one so worthy, to fail to record appreciation of her worth, would be ill in accordance with the nature of things, for like her Divine Master it may be said of her that she went about doing good. In all the relations of life, as daughter, wife, mother or friend, whether in pressing poverty or bravely struggling with the hardship inseparable from the lot of a pioneer, she ever exhibited a kindliness of disposition, wealth of resource, loyalty to high principle, conscience, and duty, which marked her unmistakeably as pre-eminent among women. Grace McComb, the subject of our memoir, was born on August 19th, 1827, at Muddy Plains, near Clarence Plains, a few miles from Hobart, Tasmania. Sixty-three years a resident of Victoria, honored and respected by all, leaving behind her six sons, two daughters, 47 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren, she has gone to rest. ***

SATURDAY last was the opening

day of the Peninsula Football Association, and the weather was all that could be desired, being nice and mild, without any wind, so that it was a matter of indifference from which end the ball was kicked. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 15 May, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Man versus chicken: The ultimate mixed martial art By Stuart McCullough SO that, so it seems, is that. We will spend over three hundred million dollars to not build something. Truth be told, there’s a lot of things I would be willing to not do for three hundred million. Unloading the dishwasher, taking out the bins and opening my credit card statements immediately spring to mind. The whole debacle guarantees that in future the odds of achieving a consensus regarding any major piece of infrastructure are on par with Kim Jong-un replacing Zayne in One Direction. Or as likely as hell freezing over which, as it happens, is itself currently the subject of a cost / benefit analysis by Infrastructure Australia. Regardless of whether you were for or against the East – West link, the end result is a massive blow to the existential nether regions. But although things right now may seem bleak, there is something on the horizon that will, doubtless, restore the faith and optimism our state so sorely needs. Soon business confidence will soar to such a level that it immediately buy a convertible and start propositioning unsuspecting passers-by. But what, I hear you ask, can a dispirited and downtrodden people possibly have to look forward to? The answer is simple: cage fighting. When the history of this great state is written, it will rightly record that the most recent state election was a referendum on cage fighting. There can be no doubt that our Government has an unassailable mandate to introduce the sport of princes to an enthusiastic and grateful public. Forget cricket, football and soccer. Real sport wears

tights. And those who play real sports aren’t saddled with useless, pedestrian run-of-the-mill names like ‘David’, ‘Michael’ or ‘Lorraine’. Instead, truly elite athletes have memorable designations like ‘Bonecrusher’, ‘Lord Stink Breath’ and ‘Dennis’. The great thing about cage fighting is that it relies on nothing other than the skill and strength of the participants, notwithstanding that a fiftydollar gift voucher from Bunnings

also comes in handy if you don’t happen to have a cage at your immediate disposal. In the not too distant future, we will wonder how we ever lived in a world without mixed martial arts and a few cheeky metres of chicken wire. In fact, I predict that cage fighting will soon be a part of everyday life. I, for one, long for the day in the surely not too distant future when it becomes a standard part of school sports carnivals, right up there with lacrosse

and tunnel ball. Every school already has the infrastructure. You need only whack up an extra side on the cricket nets and – voilà – your cage-fighting arena awaits. You can’t tell me teachers aren’t looking forward to it. For those naysayers who like to destroy everything new and beautiful and precious, they can always pack a bag and move to Western Australia – the only domino in our martial-arts loving Commonwealth yet to fall. Besides, it’s not as though the sport is anything new. Just like democracy, cage fighting was invented by the Ancient Greeks except they called it ‘Pankration’. Back then, though, it was performed in colosseums rather than cages, presumably because Bunnings would not be invented for another two thousand years. Of those who do object, some don’t mind mixed martial arts so much as the arena. Those people are, frankly, delusional. The cage is – so I’m told – all about safety. Whose safety, I’m not altogether sure. Besides, it’s also kind of romantic. By conducting this violent and brutal sport in a cage, it gives the competitors somewhere to put their ‘I love you’ padlocks. And that, if nothing else, should count for something. But it’s not all extreme violence and grand romantic gestures. Indeed, cage fighting is not just about mixed martial arts: it’s about mixed feelings too. Because when human beings step inside quality fencing in the name of sport, it raises deep philosophical issues. Genevan philosopher and part time MKR celebrity judge Jean-Jacques Rousseau once wrote that Man is free, and everywhere is chains. Old Jean-

Jacques was ninety percent right. Humankind is not in chains, it’s in a great big, glorious cage. But consider this: for decades the world has worked to get chickens out of cages. In fact, we now insist that our eggs be cage free. By putting our mixed martial artists in wire cages, are we really saying that these elite athletes are less important than a chicken? It’s a scientific fact that chickens are mankind’s greatest natural threat. Don’t be fooled by their calm exterior – beneath all those feathers and clucking lurks the black heart of a killer that would rather rip your heart out through your chest than it would lay you an egg. That’s why we kept them locked up for all those years. Indeed, that’s why when someone meets their demise we still refer to ‘fowl play’ (although, granted, it’s often misspelled). Over decades, the oppressed poultry classes have lulled us into a false sense of security and we – suckers that we are – have fallen for it. Having conned their way out of imprisonment, the fiendish fowls have gone one step further by convincing humans to get in cages. They must be laughing at us. In fact, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if at the next bout, the entire audience is made up of chickens: Burford Browns, Buff Orpingtons and Afghan Subzwaris as far as the eye can see. We must resist. Either we insist that mixed martial arts are conducted in an entirely free-range environment or we invite all poultry to settle this once and for all with a cage fight for the ages. They’d better accept, too, lest I should have to call them, well, chicken. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

WHAT’S NEW...

Wood Turning Magic 2015 WOOD Turning Magic 2015 is a competition & exhibition of wood turning of the Peninsula Woodturners Guild; the magic of course is the talent of these turners in producing something wonderful from an uninteresting looking piece of wood. The Guild can be found at the McClelland Gallery Sculpture Park and at present the membership is just over two hundred members. They have a very modern and up to date workshop, thirteen wood lathes, a couple of bandsaws, a drill press and a tool sharpening machine. The turners provide their own woodturning chisels and sundry small tools, some of which they have modified out of other tools that they have made to suit their work. Classes are held twelve times a week both day and evening, so even if you are still working, there is a class you could attend. The classes have both men and women turners and some of the ladies have proven their talents by winning national awards for their work. There are several different types of woodturning, there is what you might call the more common items you expect of turned timber such as bowls and platters and pens and useful items, another type is segmented turning, where small pieces are cut to strict precision measurements, glued together and then turned on the lathe into items of both beauty and skill. Another form of turning is ornamental turning; the name alone gives one the idea of what it is all about but one is truly amazed at the intricacies that these turners produce. The segmented and the ornamental turners each have their own group sessions, Segmented meet together for discussions on the 2nd Monday monthly and the ornamental turners meet on the 1st Friday monthly. At these group discussions they talk about what they have been working on and any problems they be encountering. Besides the turning workshop, the Guild also has a studio where each Wednesday afternoon they hold a meeting from 1.00pm to 3.00pm. On

PAGE 36

Frankston Times 11 May 2015

a Wednesday morning there is a computer group meeting and in this group members can bring queries or new programs for discussion and problem solving. The Guild is also very lucky in the type of membership it attracts. Some members are highly trained in various fields, one being audio work. Each Wednesday afternoon meeting there is a demonstration of turning, show and tell of work being completed and this work is examined for comment. Because of the audio technology and machinery available each meeting and demonstration is able to be recorded to disc and put in the Library for borrowing by the members. Like all clubs, associations operating money is always at a premium. There is always a charity section everywhere the Guild attend, they are an authorised fund raiser for “Kids With Cancer” Like every workshop it must be kept up to date and so at present the Guild is trying to raise money to improve their dust extractor system so they would like to see many, many visitors to Wood Turning Magic 2015 to help raise as much money as they can, but you will be impressed by the display that you will see. Some items will be for sale so make your Christmas lists early and go shopping. If you want to see more examples of their work go to www.pwguild.org.au or contact pwgshowdir@gmail.com

Kangas upset Stonecats in come from behind win PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN dislodged Frankston YCW from the Peninsula Division top five with a come from behind five-point win on Saturday. The Kangaroos trailed by 20 points at three quarter and went further down when YCW kicked the opening goal of the final quarter. However, the tenacious Kangas kicked the final five goals of the game to record a 12.8 (80) to 10.15 (75) victory. Frankston YCW went into the game without Scott McLeod, Ricky Morris, Ben Tellis, Luke Collins, Ash Eames and Anthony Barry. Despite the missing key players Gavin Artico said the four points was all that counted. “Obviously, we were all aware of the quality of players they had missing,” Artico said. “Unfortunately, us winning the game was always going to be due to ‘YCW missing players’. It (the result) was always going to be more about YCW and less about us. Fact of the matter is, in my opinion, we proved that we have greater depth, adapted better and were full of running in the end. We ran all over them. “We are missing Dylan Luxa, Andrew Withers, Hayden Golby, Dale Eames and our 2014 B&F winner, Liam Hogan. You could argue that they are not as big a names as the players YCW was missing but for us, they are equally as valuable. They are all well and truly in our best side. “By quarter time on Saturday, we lost Jayden Grose and Nick Hammill. Grose had back spasms, so we were down a midfield rotation, while Hammill courageously put his body on the line and got knocked out. So this robbed us of a key position player. Again, we had to adapt and our players had to step up to the plate. “I was really proud of the way they turned things around. We came at them hard and whilst they tried to defend, we attacked and continued to try and score. We could have rolled over but that’s not our style. It was a good confidence builder for the group and again highlights that if we play the way we want to and stick to that, then the results would come,” Artico said. Matty Dinkos booted five goals for the Kangas while Gerard Brown continued his domination with four majors. Matty Naughton rucked for most of the game and was outstanding. Shane Paterson was again dominant. “Patto is really relishing his onfield leadership role and

being part of the midfield group. He’s missed a lot of footy and it was always going to take time. He was never going to forget how to find the footy and be courageous, which are his strengths. It was the touch he needed and it’s well and truly back,” Artico said. Anthony Bruhn booted three goals for the Stonecats while Kevin Lylak was amongst the best in his return game. Pines came back to earth with a massive thud after being touched up by Mornington at Alexandra Park. Missing skipper Jamie Messina with a seasonending knee injury, the Pythons were always going to struggle at Mornington, despite their four wins to open the season. Guy Hendry was the side’s most productive forward with three while Corey Ash was named his side’s best. The day belonged to the Doggies and they provided just how much ground Pines needs to make-up to be competitive against the best in the competition. Jimmy Cameron was unstoppable around the footy while the likes of Joel Miller and Adam Symes continued their dominant starts to the season. Ryan O’Dell also found a heap of the footy and Michael Gay, despite not being 100 per cent fit, dominated the ruck. The Dogs were in control for the duration and won 14.14 (99) to 6.13 (49). Former St Kilda star Stephen Milne had little impact on Chelsea as they went down to Bonbeach by 31 points. Whilst he kicked a goal, Milne was unable to stop Bonbeach’s onslaught, going down 12.9 (81) to 6.14 (50). Chris Bryan booted four for the winners while Justin Bennett and Mark Tyrell booted a couple each. Anthony Carrio got a heap of the footy, as did Matt Douglas and skipper Gary Carpenter for the Sharks. Hudson Thomas and Grant Trew were the best of the Gulls. Seaford is in big trouble. The Tigers kicked just two goals against Mt Eliza on Saturday. Justin Van Unen was back from his hamstring injury and booted seven goals in the 14.18 (102) to 2.7 (19) victory. Dave Barton and Blair Whelan dominated. Kayle Henderson and Josh Stokes were the best of the Tigers. Edithvale had 42 scoring shots to Karingal’s 22 on Saturday and recorded a 55-point win. Mick Meehan booted four goals and Brett O’Hanlon and Jarrod Garth three each for the Eagles while Aaron Paxton booted three for the Bulls. Matt Clark collected another best on ground for the Eagles while Stevey Mannix wasn’t far behind. Jordan Jones and Aaron Lees were the best of the Bulls.

Eagles show strength against Sharks NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt SOMERVILLE announced itself as a genuine premiership threat on Saturday when it held on to beat Sorrento in Nepean Division. The win saw the Eagles replace Sorrento in the top five, while relegating the opposition to seventh place on the ladder. It’s the second loss in a row for the Sharks after they went down to ladder leaders Red Hill by 16 points two weeks ago. Whilst the Eagles walked away with the four points on Saturday, it wasn’t all one way traffic. Somerville booted four goals to zip in the opening quarter and looked to be cruising at the 15 minute mark of the second when they answered a surge from the Sharks. However, four straight goals in the final 10 minutes of the first half saw the visitors walk off the ground with a one point lead. The second half was an arm wrestle. Sorrento dominated the inside 50s count in the third quarter (15 to 9) but could only manage 2.1 to Somerville’s

3.1. Sorrento’s inability to score was due to the good work of the defence of Somerville, led by Ben Sedgewick and Tim Hirst, who provided plenty of drive, as well as the strong work of Kane McKenzie and Todd Farrelly. Only one goal was scored in the last quarter, which came off the boot of Adrian Speedy, who finished with two majors for the afternoon and 16 possessions in the second half for the Eagles. Tyrren Head and Daniel Grant were outstanding for the Sharks, while Myles Pitt and Leigh Poholke each finished with four goals. Somerville had a much larger spread of good players. Timmy McGennis was the best player on the ground with 28 possessions, while Rohan Hogenbirk was solid with 24 touches. Steve Crowe did a wonderful job minding Leigh Treeby, keeping the stand-in coach to just nine possessions for the match. Justin Farrelly controlled the ruck contests at centre bounces and around the ground, beating both Chris Morgan and Jon Croad. We saw a different side of Somer-

ville on Saturday – a more mature side. They jumped out of the blocks strongly for the first time this season, responded to a fightback and then got down and dirty to fight for ground in an arm wrestle. With wins now against Sorrento and Red Hill, it’s fair to say now that the Eagles have earned the respect they were looking for in the competition. Crib Point had a fairytale season in last year. In 2015, the Magpies’ season is over. The Pies hosted Frankston Bombers on the home deck on Saturday and simply had to win to keep their season alive. Winless to this point, Frankston Bombers too had a bit to prove. The Bombers led at every change and deserved to get the four points, which they did with a 11.11 (77) to 10.13 (73) victory. Nathan Lonie returned for the Bombers and while not setting the world on fire, provided enormous and much needed experience to a young outfit. Zac Longham booted four goals after missing last week for personal rea-

sons and James Degenhardt was the best player on the ground. The Bombers haven’t been that far off the mark and deserved a win under new coach Beau Muston. Crib Point had their chances to steal the game, however, fell short in the big moments. Dean Karies and Lee Koerner were the best of the Pies. Both Bombers and Crib Point have one win for the season and in a tight, 16-round competition, will not take part of finals actions. Dromana stormed home with a seven goal to one last quarter on Saturday to beat Pearcedale by 24 points, 12.16 (88) to 10.4 (64). Pearcedale led by 16 points at three quarter time and booted the first goal of the final term to lead by a game high 21 points, before the Tigers kicked the final seven goals of the match. 16-yeard-old Sam Fowler was superb once again for the Tigers with six goals. It was a fitting result given it was Adam Hunter’s final game in the seniors. Hunter goes into hospital for surgery this week before again tackling the fight against cancer, which

has re-emerged on his liver. The footy world is right behind Hunter. Pearcedale youngsters Lachy Marshall and Daniel Heijden were their best players. Hastings remains the only undefeated team in the competition and sits in second place on the ladder after beating Devon Meadows on Saturday. The Blues controlled the match for the majority of the contest with Luke Hewitt and Colin McVeigh booting four and three goals respectively. Beau Miller and Steven McInnes were the best of the Panthers while Kyle Beveridge booted a couple and was also solid over four quarters. In the final game, Josh Mold booted a career-high 10 goals for Red Hill in their 25.12 (162) to 4.6 (30) victory against Tyabb. Michael Chaplin also had a breakout game for the Hillmen with six goals and Josh Mold finished with five. Sean Holmes and Paul Wintle dominated. It was a tough day at the office for the Yabbies, although James Cottrell was a stand out.
