Let there be rock A BAND with a difference united in their passion for rock hit the stage at The Groove Train in Frankston last Sunday (7 August).

The Wallarians, a seven-piece band including five adults with disabilities, use any money from gigs to self-fund recordings and future concerts.

The band met through Dandenongbased disability support network Wallara.

Sevda (vocals), Hayden (MC, vocals) Stuart (bass), Declan (guitar), Andrew (drums), Baden (guitar) and Justin (saxophone) cite AC/DC, Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chilli Peppers as influences on their music.

Visit thewallarians1.bandcamp. com/releases to buy The Wallarians’ debut single It’s All About Friends and help fund future recordings and gigs.

Car park plan develops Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au DEVELOPERS who want to build apartments and retail buildings in Frankston in future may have to pay money to council for car parking spaces elsewhere if they are unable to provide enough parking on site.

Councillors at this month’s public council meeting decided to push ahead with plans to charge developers $19,500 car park space to be built elsewhere in future if land restrictions at a develop-

ment site make it impossible to include parking spaces required under Frankston Planning Scheme regulations.

Cr Colin Hampton said council regularly was forced to waive any requirement for a minimum number of car park spaces at apartment and townhouse developments for residents and visitors.

“We need to have a mechanism to be able to go to VCAT and argue that if there’s an inability to provide car parking spaces on site then we can take money and set that aside and in future build car parking spaces that will be-

come even more important to this city in the future.”

A cash-in-lieu scheme would allow council to stockpile cash collected from developers to build more car park spaces on council-owned land in Frankston.

A survey conducted by traffic consultants SALT in March found on-street parking in central Frankston is peaked at 95 per cent capacity at 1pm in the afternoon.

Mayor Cr James Dooley noted car parking “is the single biggest issue” causing problems for council when considering planning applications.

car park projects.

SALT survey results noted “significant losses to on-street parking supply” along Playne St, Davey St, Kananook Creek Boulevard North and Young St. Bayside Shopping Centre recently scrapped its $4 early bird daily parking rate for those arriving before 6am and increased the daily parking rate from $11 to $12 in an apparent bid to deter non-shoppers from parking at the centre.

Frankston Council will now ask state Planning Minister Richard Wynne to approve the cash-in-lieu plan before seeking public feedback.

When asked by The Times, the mayor said there are no concrete plans yet to build additional car parks and it is “too soon to tell” if users would pay to park in spaces funded by cash collected from developers.

Council officers estimated a cashin-lieu scheme could rake in between $175,000-$1.05 million annually and this money could be accumulated “for a number of years” to finance public car parking when appropriate.

Several councils elsewhere, including Dandenong and Casey councils, have cash-in-lieu schemes in place for

Hidden police eyes on street crime Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON police will launch a strategy next month that they say will enhance patrols and make policing more efficient.

The Frankston Divisional Operations Support Office – DOSO – will allow police on restricted duties due to injury or illness to oversee calls made to triple zero and take jobs from patrol units that don’t necessarily require a police presence.

The DOSO police can then call complainants and prepare crime and intelligence reports and referrals, without taking up the time of police on active duty.

“This will allow greater patrol time for units on the road to focus on key areas for us in relation to volume crime and anti-social behaviour,” Acting Senior Sergeant Glenn Michie said.

“The members won’t be on patrol but will mostly be made up of members who are unable to have face-toface contact with the public. They will be sworn police officers and some will be in uniform and some not.”

CCTV from the Frankston City Council and Bayside Shopping Centre will be beamed into the police building for active monitoring during incidents which have been called through to triple zero.

“The CCTV will constantly be on

so members in the office will also be able to view it in between other tasks,” Sergeant Michie said.

“If a brawl broke out on the street but it was over before police arrived the DOSO could view the incident and send direct intelligence, including CCTV stills, to the computers of units already on the way.”

Frankston City Council’s Jarred Stevens said the DOSO unit would provide beneficial back-up to police and lead to a safer city.

“The CCTV cameras will be monitored 16 hours a day,” he said.

“A policeman will be sitting behind a camera with vision of any crimes that may occur. He can then continue watching while police are on their way to the crime scene and provide

them with information when they get there.

“He can also help with minor crimes that may not need police attendance straight away.”

Mr Stevens, the council’s coordinator of compliance and safety, said the initiative would save police travel time by having a DOSO officer back in the office doing the paperwork for crimes they investigated.

Police are planning for potential CCTV coverage of the Frankston, Kananook and Seaford train stations to also be beamed live into the DOSO. This is expected to complement the work being done by PSOs and the transit police.

Because the DOSO will generally be made up of members on restricted

duties, patrol times of active police will not be diminished. A side benefit is that it will enable members not actively working on the road to keep up with current trends and intelligence.

“The partnership between Frankston police, Frankston City Council and Bayside Shopping Centre is only becoming stronger with initiatives like this,” Sergeant Michie said.

“Community safety is a matter for everyone so the more eyes and cameras looking out the better.”

Geelong police station has reportedly had a DOSO up and running for about two years “with great success”.

Frankston is one of several police stations around Melbourne launching this method of policing due to the positive results it is providing.

Repeat offenders ‘shadowed’ by police

Eye for detail: Gem enthusiast Kristine Waterston has eyes only for her prize – a synthetic cubic zirconia. Pictures: Yanni

Grinding, polishing a gem of a craft “IT is easy to get addicted to gem stones,” admits lapidary enthusiast Kristine Waterston, of Skye.

As one of the 130 members of the Frankston and Peninsula Lapidary Club, she’s right at home polishing, cutting and grinding gemstones into mini works of art.

“We go out and dig for them and bring stuff back – that’s fossicking – or we go to gem shows and buy them,” she said. “We seek uncut, raw stones – that’s what the club’s all about.”

Popular stones among members are rhodonite, agate, jasper, opals – such as a “boulder opal I have got myself hooked,” she quipped.

“These are mined from large ironstone boulders underground and grow in a boulder matrix where you get thin

veins of colourful opal forming in cracks and fissures – it’s fascinating.”

Members cut stones on diamondimpregnated wheels before using grinding and polishing wheels of differing grades to wear down their gems and polish them with laps. They also do faceting of high-end gems such as sapphires and rubies.

Quartz and amethyst are described as “very hard” stones, but rewarding to work on.

“We sell some and make others into jewellery and some we keep. We say: ‘I’m not parting with that one’,” she said.

“It may take a couple of hours or even days to work on a gem but as you go through the stages it gets easier – especially when you learn how.”

Members of the 40-year-old Frankston and Peninsula Lapidary Club meet at the McClelland Gallery, McClelland Drive, Langwarrin.

Classes are held in faceting, cabochon cutting, opal carving, chain weaving, silversmithing and enamelling. Visitors are welcome to attend the club’s annual gem show, 9am-5pm, Saturday and Sunday 27-28 August, at the Cranbourne public Hall, South Gippsland Hwy, Cranbourne.

Adults $5, seniors $4 and children free. Visitors can watch faceting and chain weaving demonstrations, inspect members’ work, buy from club stalls and sieve for gemstones.

Traders will sell jewellery, minerals, beads and crystals. Light refreshments and a sausage sizzle will be available.

FRANKSTON police are working around the clock to keep residents safe by blitzing crime hotspots, arresting repeat offenders and responding to incidents in public spaces and on train-lines.

Sergeant Phillip Hulley said that, by day 65 of its operation last week, the Shadow Taskforce had made 200-plus arrests – equating to an average of three per day.

“So far, 4122 vehicles have been checked with many of these checks resulting in traffic stops or the execution of outstanding warrants,” he said.

“A large number of the vehicles checked have also been searched for drugs and weapons.”

Sergeant Hulley said task force members had “come out of the shadows” to speak with more than 1194 persons of interest. “Many of those persons were later searched for drugs and weapons where reasonable grounds existed.”

After visiting the 24-hour Frankston police station on Thursday, Police Minister Lisa Neville gave a big thumbs’ up to the officers’ “dedication in serving and protecting the community”.

She praised Shadow Taskforce police for “doing great work driving down crime and locking up repeat offenders to keep local residents safe”.

“Community engagement is the essence of good policing – that’s why it’s great to see Frankston

police fostering strong relationships with the local community,” she said.

The Shadow Taskforce aims to actively target repeat offenders through overt and covert police work, while also dealing with aggravated burglaries, drug use and youth crime.

It has reportedly had “a significant impact” in the Frankston retail and business precincts, with local traders and residents noticing more police on the beat.

Police custody officers have been on duty in Frankston since May and are helping to free up police to return to the beat.

In May, police set up the statewide Operation Cosmas to investigate aggravated burglaries and car jackings, resulting in more than 130 arrests.

Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke praised Frankston police targeting crime hotspots and boosting their presence in public spaces.

“Targeted operations are helping in tackling youth offending, public order incidents and anti-social behaviour,” he said.

The $596 million Public Safety Package announced in the Victorian Budget 2016/17 will fund an extra 406 sworn police officers, mobile technology and other specialist equipment.

More than 200 custody officers are working at 22 of Victoria’s busiest police stations, with their rollout to be completed at the end of 2017.

Attackers set girl’s hair on fire Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A HORRIFYING attack on a schoolgirl has resulted in a group of youngsters aged 12-14 appearing before a children’s court charged with armed robbery and assault.

Police said the youngsters had lured the girl, 15, to the Frankston skate park on the pretext of being her friend.

There they allegedly punched and kicked her on the face and body and set fire to her hair with a cigarette lighter.

Three of the group appeared in court on Monday where one was bailed and two – a 12 year-old Seaford boy and 13-year-old Langwarrin boy – were remanded in custody. Four others were bailed by police to appear at a later date.

The attack – at 9pm, Friday 5 August – occurred only hours after a Langwarrin boy was bailed on other matters.

The shocked girl received a fractured right hand in the targeted attack as well as swelling and bruising to her face and body and singed hair.

Detective Senior Constable Ryan

Collins, of Frankston CIU, said a Frankston North boy aged 14, Skye boy, 14, Seaford boy, 12, Frankston boy, 14, two Frankston North girls, 14, and two Langwarrin boys, 13, enticed the girl to the skate park, in Cranbourne Rd, at 9pm.

Things allegedly turned ugly when one of the boys began throwing chocolate pieces at the girl, and refused to stop when asked. One of the girls then allegedly punched the girl in the face and a boy allegedly kicked her in the face and body.

While the girl was on the ground a boy allegedly stole her bag and mo-

bile phone while another allegedly used a cigarette lighter to set her hair on fire.

The girl managed to run home and tell her parents who called police. She was taken to Frankston Hospital for treatment.

Senior Constable Collins said all members of the group were later charged with assault and armed robbery. He said other charges and arrests were pending.

He is appealing for anyone with information to call Frankston CIU, 9784 5555.

New York beckons for tuneful duo MORNINGTON Peninsula Chorale members Gabrielle Dole and daughter Anna Jones can’t wait to hit the high notes in New York on the group’s first overseas trip next year.

The chorale’s invitation came about after they performed Sir Karl Jenkin’s Armed Man at Frankston Arts Centre at last year’s Anzac Day centenary celebrations.

In the “Big Apple” in January, 50 members of the group will perform with choristers from around the world at the Distinguished Concert Singers International at the Isaac Stern Auditorium, Carnegie Hall.

The family has a long background in music and performing. Gabrielle Dole (nee Bradley) was born in Brighton in the 1940s, the eldest of five children to Jack and Leonie Bradley.

In the 1950s Gay, as she was known, encouraged sisters Suzie and Pauline to sing together in harmony with the help of an old wooden frame piano. They sang on radio talent shows and early TV talent quests.

In the 1960s they toured with the Tivoli as backing singers in an Ice Follies revue and later settled in Sydney where they were back-up singers for Festival Records behind various pop singers, including Col Joy and Johnny O’Keefe.

They also secured a regular spot on Johnny O’Keefe’s Sing, Sing, Sing show on channel 7.

In the late 1960s, after Pauline left the group, they brought in little sister Leonie before working on the ABC variety show Start a Living in Melbourne.

Gabrielle then married and moved to live in country Victoria.

Suzie and Leonie sang in a concert tour of Vietnam for nine months.

Anna, Gabrielle’s second daughter, showed an early talent for singing, even singing before she could talk. At that time the family was living in Ethiopia and her first language was Amahaic.

Anna went to the same school, Star of the Sea, as her mother and older sister Simone. There, she studied music and sang in the special choir and was chosen for lead parts in school musicals.

She also sang in the Australian Children’s Choir and later the Faversham Singers.

“Often people ask where musical talent comes from,” Anna said.

“On the Bradley side, Jack’s first cousins were all

RAM raiders used a four-wheel-drive to bullock their way through the front doors of into Karingal Hub shopping centre early Wednesday before driving down the main thoroughfare and crashing into a jewellery store.

Detective Jason Hamilton-Smith, of Frankston CIU, said the male offenders, in a stolen Isuzu, lined up the front of Prouds Jewellers and smashed through the door frame and shutters and inside before stealing a large quantity of jewellery. The exact amount was being assessed late Thursday.

He said the three offenders caused a “massive amount of damage” before driving out again. CCTV footage shows the men with their faces covered.

Prouds would not comment.

Shutting Gate on crime OPERATION Gateway has been a big success for Frankston police over the past two weekends.

Officers from various units staged a highly visible, as well as covert, presence along mains roads linking Dandenong and Frankston on the weekends 29, 30 and 31 July and 5, 6 and 7 August.

Sergeant Phillip Hulley said they arrested nine people for drug offences, five for theft of cars or theft from cars, one for assault, seven for outstanding warrants, four for robbery, three for weapons offences, one for being drunk, four for drinkdriving, five for drug-driving, 15 for traffic matters, 23 for penalty notices and four for vehicle defects.

Burns ahead

Live act: Gabrielle Dole and daughter Anna Jones will sing in New York as members of the Mornington Peninsula Chorale.

classical musicians.

“Among them was renowned violinist Desmond Bradley. Nanna (Leonie’s) first cousin was a member of the Parker Sisters who sang on radio and were popular during World War II. Gabrielle was always sent to stay with them when Nanna was having another baby.

“Jack and his family were all competent singers in the Irish tradition. The same applies to Dad’s (Dole) family.

“In those days all families sang. It’s so different these days – especially when you hear footballers trying to sing.”

Member Jennie Boux said the chorale was seek-

ing funding from government at all levels, and exploring other avenues of fundraising “to help us reach New York”.

Senior member Judi McKee said the trip would be a wonderful experience. “It’s a really exciting time for the choir,” she said.

“We will benefit from singing in such a wonderful location and walking in the footsteps of famous names at such as illustrious venue.”

The chorale began in 1979. Its 93 members perform an oratorio and proms concert with Frankston Symphony Orchestra each year, as well as a Christmas concert. Its director is Tom Buchanan.

An independent voice for the community

THERE is no lack of interest in filling the vacancy in Liberal ranks following the announcement that Martin Dixon will not be running for the state seat of Nepean he has occupied since 1996.

Russell Joseph, Mr Dixon’s electorate office manager for the past four years, has already signaled that he will seek to take over his boss’s job.

“I would like to lead from the front,” Mr Joseph told The Times the day following Mr Dixon’s announcement.

“There’s a lot of potential for things to still be done and I’d like to see them continuing along.”

Mr Joseph has also been joined by Clem NewtonBrown and Sean Armistead in seeking Liberal Party pre-selection for Nepean.

Mr Armistead failed in his attempt to win the seat of Frankston at the 2014 state election, which was won for Labor by Paul Edbrooke.

A property consultant, Mr Newton-Brown was the former MP for Prahran until losing his seat to the Greens’ Sam Hibbins in 2014.

Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and other Liberal powerbrokers are on record as saying they want more women candidates, although none have gone so far as to suggest the branches which select the candidate for Nepean should draw the line at choosing another man.

Mr Joseph said he was sure “quite a few [more] will put their hands up” as the pre-selection draws closer.

He said he had spoken with Mr Armistead and Mr Newton-Brown.

“Everybody runs their own race and I can now talk to people and canvas [support] internally,” he said.

“The result can be unpredictable, but you’ve got to throw your hat into the ring.”

The candidate will be chosen by a vote of members of the electorate’s three Liberal Party branches: Central Peninsula, Rye and Sorrento-Portsea.

It is understood the three branches have a combined membership of less than 300, with Sorrento-Portsea being the largest with 180 members.

Planning extension for ‘eyesore’ site Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au LONG-RUNNING attempts to redevelop the site of the former Ambassador Hotel function centre are set to run for at least another couple of years.

Councillors at this month’s public council meeting last Monday (8 August) unanimously voted to allow a further extension until March next year.

A planning permit to build a fourstorey apartment complex at the 325 Nepean Hwy, Frankston site after previous owners were unable to begin construction had lapsed.

Planning consultant Richard Umbers, on behalf of mortgagee Jack Gringlas of the Jadig Group, asked councillors for an extension of time on the planning permit so the land can be sold to a new developer.

“While there are purchasers showing strong interest in the land they will not enter into a contract of sale to purchase the land until the planning permit has been extended for a further two years,” he said at the council meeting.

Mr Umbers told council Mr Gringlas had spent $345,000 demolishing the Ambassador function centre in February, despite having no legal obligation to do so, as a goodwill way

to demonstrate he is committed to the site’s sale and redevelopment.

The demolition had stopped “antisocial and criminal activities by illegal occupiers”, according to Mr Umbers.

Councillors praised Mr Gringlas for demolishing the building and backed the extension of the planning permit but did not it will continue to be “an eyesore” until it is developed.

Council stipulated the building of the apartment complex must begin by January 2018.

Boardwalk walks away with state award A BOARDWALK in Seaford has been recognised for its “outstanding” design walking away with an Award of Excellence for architecture this month.

The McCulloch Ave boardwalk, designed by Brunswick-based firm Site Office, took out the top gong at the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects’ Victorian Landscape Architecture Awards.

“While modest in scope and budget, the McCulloch Avenue boardwalk in Seaford is a fine example of high-quality public infrastructure,” the jury panel noted.

“It demonstrates how infrastructure can respond to environmental complexities, provide a highquality user experience, and create an elegant design response.

“The project’s apparent simplicity at first glance belies the care applied to it from planning through building, enhancing use of the foreshore, stabilising the dune, protecting native flora and fauna, and minimising impacts of the construction process.

“The boardwalk’s restrained form and thoughtful crafting work harmoniously with its setting to create an example of landscape architecture at its best.”

The $182,000 boardwalk, opened two years ago, allows people to walk through the Seaford Foreshore Reserve and was designed to minimise funnelling of winds that can cause dune blowouts.

Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley said council is delighted at the architectural win for the area.

“The exquisite design of the McCulloch Avenue boardwalk complements the pristine Seaford foreshore, with untreated Australian hardwood timber blending seamlessly into the natural surrounding environment.”

The boardwalk will now carry Victoria’s hopes for a national victory at the National Landscape Architecture Awards to be held in Canberra on 27 October.

Frankston ‘clean and safe’

Removing crossings makes for more trains Level crossings on the Frankston line are acting as a brake on further commuter services which are running at capacity during peak and some off-peak times.

Grade separation is a priority to enable an increased service frequency. Whichever option is finally decided on will cost a lot of public money and disruption during construction. The public rightly expects the government to get value for money and it is obliged to try to achieve that.

The section of line from Mordialloc to Kananook is built on an existing sand dune and most of the land on either side is lower and subject to flooding, so much so that a report to Kingston Council in 2006 indicated that a severe flood event between Mordialloc and Frankston could cost the municipality millions of dollars in damage. This same area is built on a drained swamp which has a high water table.

A sky rail between Mordialloc and Frankston is probably a sensible idea and would likely be cheaper than sinking the existing line below both ground.

On Tuesday 26 July it was reported that the Level Crossing Removal Authority has made provision for a multi-storey building above Ormond railway station. In the past 20 years both major political parties have proposed building above a lowered railway line at Ormond as a means of recovering some of the huge costs involved in sinking an existing railway line.

Taxpayers and voters should expect a government to explore all reasonable means of achieving value for money and commercial and residential development above a sunken railway line is an option deserving support.

Frankston City Council has gone a long way in achieving the desired goal of being a “clean city”, as illustrated by Frankston’s award as the Keep Australia Beautiful ‘Sustainable City of the Year’ in 2015. An equally important goal for council is that of having a ‘safe city’.

It is true that some people view Frankston as unsafe. This is untrue and unjustified.

To rectify this issue council advocated long and hard to have additional police resources allocated to Frankston. This allocation of police occurred in 2012 and 2013 and has resulted in an increased number of reported crime statistics; particularly, in the categories of drug and street crime in which the police have been particularly active.

However, the best way to prevent crime is to combat the conditions that create crime. It’s therefore very welcome news that our unemployment rate in Frankston dropped from 8.3 per cent in March 2015 down to 6.1 per cent in March 2016, and that the federal electorate of Dunkley, which Frankston predominantly sits in, has recorded the highest economic growth of any Victorian electorate in 2014-2015 financial year at 3.6 per cent.

These improved economic conditions and the enthusiasm for Frankston’s fortunes are a good step in the direction of reducing poverty at a local level.

Given that the goal of a safe city is a high priority for Frankston Council, I was recently invited to inspect the new generation of CCTV security cameras in the City of Greater Geelong.

From early reports, it would appear that their state of the art CCTV network is having a significant impact on the preventative aspect of policing in Geelong.

Not only are the cameras much improved on the past models, but the computer software and technology that drives this network is having a real impact upon crime prevention in their city centre in conjunction with real-time monitoring.

Likewise, Frankston Council will be making a significant investment over the next four years to upgrade our existing CCTV network and add new resources.

The CCTV network will also be improved in Young St, as part of the state government’s works to improve that space.

All in all, we should see a significant increase in crime prevention measures and will continue to work with Victoria Police to reduce anti-social behaviour across Frankston.

A voter’s ID would be entered and recorded to eliminate multiple voting.

Non-deliberate informal voting would be eliminated by the voter receiving error messages that need to be corrected to make the vote formal.

An electronic system could eliminate deliberate informal voting as well.

We would basically have a much faster and accurate and proper voting system for federal and state elections.

Online voting could be used to avoid standing in cues at polling stations and would be good for absentee voting and possibly eliminate postal voting. Pre poll voting could be done electronically as well.

We could have electronic polling stations or online voting or a combination of both, but something needs to be done about it soon.

Electronic voting Let’s have an electronic voting system for government elections.

Many countries do it this way, including India, but not Australia where we still have people counting paper on election night and beyond until there is a known outcome for a change or retaining of government and the result of each seat.

The system would obviously work much faster than counting paper and most outcomes would be known by 8pm on election day.

There would be fewer errors like the one that

If Malcolm Turnbull had been the leader of a minority government it would have been the least of his worries come 2017 when the big three car manufacturers close up shop, putting thousands out of work.

Many will struggle to find well paying jobs and this will also effect those in industries that supply car parts, transport and the many shops and organisations that depend for their income on these workers spending their pay cheques.

Further complications will be the negative effect on taxation income, higher dole payments and reduced share prices which in turn will decrease the value of superannuation schemes and thus affect millions.

Bill Shorten should be thankful he and the ALP lost the election and will not have to deal with this mess, an economic disaster in the making caused by the decision of Tony Abbott, Joe Hockey and the LNP government to discourage the car manufacturers that resulted in their closure.

Tide changes for surf industry TWO of the biggest names in the surf industry have quietly moved onto the Mornington Peninsula.

Rip Curl came first, buying out Peninsula Surf and next month Billabong takes over the Trigger Brothers store at Sorrento.

Recognising the strength in local branding, Rip Curl still displays prominent Peninsula Surf signs at its Frankston, Mornington and Rye stores and Billabong is set to do the same with Trigger Brothers in Sorrento.

“After the Rip Curl buyout of Peninsula Surf stores six months ago Billabong needed to ensure rack space or real estate on the peninsula,” Phil Trigger said.

“They approached us and we came to an agreement where they would take over the running of our Sorrento store on 5 September, with us keeping a small percentage of the business.

“Unlike their other takeovers they plan to make our 50 years of surfing the peninsula a highlight of the store.

Most of our amazing staff will stay and all our clothing and surf and skate hardware will remain.”

Phil trigger and his brother Paul will keep running their stores at Point Leo and Frankston.

Peninsula Surf founder Ted Bainbridge said the “time seemed right” in late 2015 to sell out to Rip Curl, one of the surfing world’s major brands which grew from humble beginnings at Torquay.

“With ageing directors and the stores all performing well, despite the downturn in retail, Rip Curl was the best option to take over Peninsula Surf,” he said.

“We'd stocked their wet suits from the beginning and surfed over many years with founders Doug Warbrick and Brian Singer.

“Having employed more than 700 peninsula kids since starting in 1974 it was a priority to have a company which allowed our staff to have a career path if they stayed in the surf industry.

“Rip Curl is an international company with heaps of opportunities.”

The latest move by the Trigger brothers follows the closure of their original store in Chelsea in 2005 (including auctioning 80 surfboards that were hanging on the walls), along with shops at Prahran and Mornington.

The shop at Point Leo also includes a shaping bay where custom boards are made and dinged boards fixed.

Point Leo was the site where the Triggers organised a vintage surfboard day which, in 2012, had 30 exhibitors and attracted about 1500 viewers.

“Two years later we held another one, this time we had a display of 30 Kombies, they came in a convoy as far as you could see up Point Leo Rd,” Paul Trigger said.

“In almost 40 years of manufacturing with the help of John Jolly and Al Francis and so many shapers, we have made about 30,000 surfboards.”

IT is not hard to find connect surfing on the Mornington Peninsula with Australian surfing great Bernard “Midget” Farrelly, who died on Sunday 7 August after several years of battling cancer.

At 71, Farrelly’s death came as a shock to the surfing community, both here and overseas.

Many of the peninsula’s younger surfers would not know that they most likely owe Farrelly a debt of gratitude.

His fame came on the cusp of major changes in surfing: the advent of the shorter board and professional surfers.

As Australia’s first official world champion – won at Manly 17 May 1964 - Farrelly dragged surfing into the public view and influenced the next generation of surfers who set about establishing an industry that brought the necessary equipment within reach of anyone who wanted to tackle the waves.

The founders of the two biggest surfing product outlets on the peninsula acknowledge Farrelly’s influence: Paul and Phil Trigger, of Triggers Bros and Ted Bainbridge of Peninsula Surf.

Bainbridge, who in 1974 started what became a chain of shops operating under the Peninsula Surf banner, remembers the mid-1960s weekly Midget Farrelly show on ABC TV. Farrelly’s “personable manner” came through the TV screen to the young lad growing up in Noble Park.

THE Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital has unveiled revolutionary new technology at Frankston Hospital to connect patients who present at an emergency department with eye injuries or conditions in outer metropolitan, rural and regional areas with specialist advice without having to travel to east Melbourne.

Eye and Ear Hospital CEO Mark Petty said the initiative will enable Peninsula Health’s emergency department clinicians who are not ophthalmic specialists to manage patients with the help of a remote eye and ear specialist when needed.

In 2014, 2700 people travelled from the Mornington Peninsula to the Eye and Ear Hospital for urgent treatment.

Peninsula Health’s emergency services clinical director Dr Shyaman Menon said the device is a

game-changer for clinicians in regional and rural communities.

“After looking into the statistics with the Eye and Ear, we found that we could have treated many of these patients if we had access to this new telemedicine technology,” Dr Menon said.

Developed by medical technology manufacturer, Ingeneus and the Eye and Ear with state government funding, the ground-breaking eyeConnect device will collect patient data, visual information and images of the eye.

Together with information from the eyePressure device, a disposable tonometer which indicates the zone of a patient’s eye pressure, this data package is sent to the emergency department at the Eye and Ear Hospital for review by a specialist doctor who can then provide advice on where the patient should be treated.

surfingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trailblazing champions â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The show] showed him sailing a catamaran and surfing with such style, precision and grace and then went on to showcase what was happening here and around the world in surfing,â&#x20AC;? Bainbridge recalled last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It opened my eyes to what was out there; why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I live on Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northern beaches instead of Noble Park?â&#x20AC;?

Bainbridge recalls â&#x20AC;&#x153;being in aweâ&#x20AC;? when he eventually saw Farrelly at Bells Beach near Torquay in 1967.

Seven years later they met in person when Bainbridge and then business partner Harry Hodge (later to become an executive with Quiksilver) were in Sydney picking up surfboards for the recently opened shop in Nepean Highway, Frankston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was fun; he was an old guy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 30 - and still skateboarded. He enjoyed making surfboards, he drove a Kombi, he enjoyed a beer and he could still surf rings around most of the young guys in the water,â&#x20AC;? Bainbridge said.

Farrelly and his wife Bev came to Victoria the following year and attended one of the Peninsula Boardriders Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notorious â&#x20AC;&#x153;band nightsâ&#x20AC;? at Morning Star.

The association between Bainbridge and Farrelly also included the former world champ advertising his company Surfblanks in the Frankston-based surf magazine, Breakway.

The magazine was published by Bainbridge, Tony Murrell (later a director of the Independent News Group of newspapers) and this writer.

On one trip to Sydney Bainbridge and myself stayed overnight at Farrellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

house where, over dinner, he told about advising Victorian surfer Wayne Lynch not to rely on jam sandwiches for nutrition.

Bainbridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendship with Farrelly saw him come to Rye in1992 to open a new Peninsula Surf store.

Paul Trigger also remembers the sincerity that came across during Farrellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show on the ABC which, in part, explains his lasting anger at some members of the surfing community who turned their backs on Farrelly because of his publicly expressed anti-drugs stance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a lot of ways Midget probably set things up to make surfing what it is today,â&#x20AC;? Trigger says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But a lot of things that came out in the [Sydney-based] magazines were kind of disappointing. They made out that it was cool to do drugs, applauded surfers who took drugs and portrayed Midget as a square.â&#x20AC;?

Trigger believes Farrelly would have won the first professional surfing titles at Bells Beach in 1973 â&#x20AC;&#x153;if the competition had been judged differentlyâ&#x20AC;?.

Farrelly came second to Michael Peterson, but also in the lineup for that contest were Ian Cairns and Terry Fitzgerald.

Trigger, one of the judges, speaks as if the contest was yesterday: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The surf had dropped back from about 10 foot to six or eight in the final round. Midget had got a bit sick and Peterson was surfing on the shoulder. He was doing all these maneuvers while Midget was riding deeper, but they were getting the same scores [because of wave size].â&#x20AC;?

Trigger said Peterson had a copy of the competition format on the dash-

board of his car and knew what points would be awarded for each maneuver.

During that contest Farrelly opened his Kombi to show Trigger his quiver of boards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was such a pro. They were all yellow, all had swallow tails and ranged incrementally in length from six foot three inches to eight foot,â&#x20AC;? Trigger says.

His earliest memory of Farrelly was also near Torquay, in 1965, when he and Phil were driven there by their elder brother, Peter.

There were â&#x20AC;&#x153;probably all the best surfers in Australiaâ&#x20AC;? at Fishos Beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the best mal surfing you could have seen and Midget was riding the first stringer-less board weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen,â&#x20AC;?

Paul trigger says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were up to 100 of us in the car park watching, no one else was going out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Midget was also a master shaper, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the credit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pumped up by the magazines.â&#x20AC;?

Trigger remembers watching as Farrelly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; talking to himself as he shaped a board â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you like the way Midget does these railsâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He started work at 15, but was very smart and could have been a civil engineer. He made and flew hang gliders,â&#x20AC;?

Trigger says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once, when I was in a contest at Long Beach in Sydney, he was flying around on the other side of the headland.â&#x20AC;?

Phil Trigger once stayed a few nights at the Farrelly household only to discover that his host rushed home every night to watch Doctor Who. Paul Trigger: â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who Midget was, not unlike a Doctor Who character himself.â&#x20AC;?

Rubbish protection all bay round MORE than 100 young marine ambassadors saw – and smelled – tonnes of pollution emptied from a Carrum Downs gross pollution trap on Tuesday (9 August).

The trap stops stormwater pollutants washed from streets reaching Port Phillip.

The sightseeing and smell smelling experience was part of the Dolphin Research Institute’s ‘i sea, i care’ school ambassador program. Ambassadors are trained by peer educators who go back to schools and share what they have learned.

Pupils are taught ways to reduce pollutants entering drains and threatening Port Phillip’s marine life and fauna.

“The institute is concerned about the link between water quality in the bay and the health of our dolphins,” DRI executive director Jeff Weir said.

“If it’s not safe for us to swim in our bay after rain, then it’s also not safe for our dolphins

either. We need to do much better.”

Cleaning out pollution traps costs taxpayers and ratepayers a lot of money via state government and council programs but Mr Weir says there would be a bigger cost to the environment if the traps were not in place.

The Banyan Reserve wetlands in Carrum Downs is a world-class example of how to deal with stormwater pollution. Litter traps capture the large pieces of pollution, ponds let sediment settle and plant life take up many of the soluble pollutants.

“Treatment systems help, when they are present, but the best solution is to stop things getting into drains in the first place,” Mr Weir said.

See dolphinresearch.org.au for further details of stormwater traps around the bay.

Absolutely luxurious, this five to six bedroom home presents the ultimate entertainers delight in this privileged location.

Tax time IT’S

advertising feature

ATO stats reveal who’s lodging this tax time TAX time is off to a flying start with over 3.8 million people lodging their tax returns so far, and 1.4 million of those lodging their own tax return online with myTax. Assistant Commissioner Graham Whyte said myTax has revolutionised the way Australians who prepare their own tax return lodge by making it quicker and easier.

“If people choose to lodge their own tax return, we want myTax to make the experience as stress-free as possible and we are getting great feedback. Eighty-six percent of myTax lodgers so far this year have said they are satisfied or very satisfied with the experience,” Mr Whyte said.

“This positive feedback is reflected through our lodgment stats; on 25 July we reached one million myTax lodgments. It’s the fastest we have ever reached one million online lodgments and is around one third of the self-prepared tax returns we expect to receive this tax time.

Mr Whyte said myTax had been expanded in 2016 and has now completely replaced the old

lodgment tool, e-tax.

“Unlike e-tax, which could only be used on a PC, myTax lets you do your tax on any computer, smartphone or tablet,” Mr Whyte said.

“We’ve already noticed some interesting stats with myTax users this year. The average age of a myTax lodger is 35. The oldest myTax lodger so far was 105 years old, which shows you it’s never too late to get online.”

“Around fifty-two per cent of myTax users are female, and New South Wales and Queensland are neck and neck for the most lodgments.”

“The busiest day of myTax lodgment so far was Monday, 18 July with 59,000 lodgments.

This is around the time most people receive their payment summaries. We usually see a spike in mid-July each year.”

Mr Whyte said the ATO is also pushing harder to get refunds to people, with an average processing time of seven days.

“If you’ve already lodged, you can easily keep track of the progress of your tax return via our online services. The tool has already been used

2.5 million times this tax time,” Mr Whyte said.

“For people who haven’t lodged yet, we have received most of the data from employers, banks, government agencies and other third parties we need to pre-fill your tax return. It’s the earliest we’ve ever received this information.”

“We’ve now got over eighty percent of interest and dividend data, the majority of private health insurance details and 13.4 million payment summaries from around 328,000 employers.

“Pre-fill information makes myTax a quick and easy experience and for most people, all they have to do is double-check the information we have pre-loaded for them, enter any deductions and hit submit,” Mr Whyte said.

Thirty-five per cent of people using myTax are completing their tax return in 15 minutes or less, showing that the lodgment experience doesn’t have to be as difficult as you think.

“Tax time isn’t all about myTax though and we know most people choose to go to a tax agent. If you use a tax agent, they also have access to all your pre-fill data.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Two candidates set for polling day Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS Adamson, Strettle and Co will hold their next sale at Tanti on Monday next—For entries see advt. *** MR Joseph Unthank will address the electors at the Somerville Hall on Wednesday evening next, and gives a cordial invitation for all Centre Riding ratepayers to be present. *** A PUBLIC meeting will be held on Thursday evening next in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, when addresses will be delivered on the 6 o’clock closing question by prominent speakers. *** A PRESENTATION of a travelling bag was made to Guard Phil O’Grady, on being transferred to Mornington, by his fellow employees, Frankston, who regret the loss of P. O’ G, but wish him good luck in his new sphere. *** THE Scotch concert this evening at the Mechanics’ Hall will be given by a capable company of inimitable artists, clever and charming performers, who have everywhere and always been enthusiastically received. *** MR Harry Skinner, the well known Scottish entertainer has arranged a musical treat for the residents of Frankston for this evening at the Mechanics’ Hall. The funds are in aid of the Frankston District Roll of Honor Fund.

*** A GENEROUS donation of £2 was given to the “Wattles Club”, by a friend, and small donations amounting to 16s were also handed in 54 cups and saucers and 100 tea spoons were given by Mrs Hay, 66 cups and saucers, and 12 bread and butter plates, by Mrs Maloney, £1, for small plates, by Mrs C. Gray and tea pot, by Mrs Wilcox. *** HEREUNDER I beg to submit balance sheet of Seaford Red Cross Society for the year ending June 15th.

Debit— Expenses, including cost of material purchased, £21 2s 5d. Cash in hand £9 11s 10d. Credit—Money collected by public subscriptions £40 14s 3d. Credit balance £9 11s 10d. The people of Seaford can be congratulated on the magnitude of their effort, considering the size of the place, as 1232 articles have been made during the year by members of this society which is financed by local contribution. *** THE members of the W.C.T.U. held a drawing room meeting in connection with the above Society last Thursday afternoon. The gathering was a most enjoyable one. Mrs Carroll delighted the audience with a beautiful song, “The Valley of Laughter” and a paper given by Mrs McCormack on “Women, her present duty and privilege ‘ was also particularly well received, as was also a duet by the two above mentioned ladies. In the absence of the President (Mrs Twining) the chair

was taken by Miss Watson, who gave a most able address. Refreshments were handed round during the afternoon and the secretary had the pleasure of receiving three new members to the society. *** AMONG the correspondence read at a meeting of the “Wattles” Club held at the Hall, on Wednesday evening, was the following letter:—G.P.O., Sydney, 11.8.16—Dear Sir, or Madam—It gives me greatest pleasure to write a few words of thanks I feel so rightly due to you and your fellow workers of the “Wattles Club” in giving us, the returned soldiers, on A14 “Euripidies”, such a great and enjoyable reception during our short call at Melbourne.

I am sure in this matter, mine is the general sentiment of the boys, and we greatly appreciate what you did for us, and later, during the reminiscences of our service in this war, surely this reception at our homecoming, will never be forgotten.

Once again thanking you for your great kindness,—Yours truly,—PTE. W. GREENE, 1st A. A.M.C. *** FRANKSTON was again visited by about 270 returned New South Wales and Queensland sick and wounded soldiers, and were entertained in the Mechanics’ Hall by the “Wattles Club”, on Monday last. Having had an exceptionally rough time coming across, and not being allowed to land at Fremantle, the boys seemed to appreciate doubly, the outing which was

arranged for them.

As their boat was to remain in Melbourne just the one day, the pleasure trip was quite unexpected. The only fault to find was that time and tide wait for no man— not even a soldier, and although there was ample amusement for hours to come, good-byes were said amid loud and prolonged cheers, which were good to hear.

One of the soldiers, and a lady visitor kept things going merrily during the afternoon. *** THE Candidates Song. Now polling day will soon be here, with the question to decide who best to cast a vote for, and who to cast aside. You have the choice of two this time, both good men and true, and we’re waiting, calmly waiting, to hear what you will do.

Now one of us you’ve tried before, who proved so just and fair, his comrades thought so much of him, they placed him in the chair. Perhaps they hope to see him back, and trust that he’ll pull through, so they’re waiting, calmly waiting to see what you will do.

Now just a thought to the other one before your vote is cast he’ll likely hold good trumps this time, and win the seat at last. He’s patient at the game no doubt, he’s tried, and tried before, but never yet has had the luck to top the voters score.

But soon the waiting time will end, the day is coming fast when each of us will know the best, or perhaps the worst at last.

So now good folk ‘tis left to you to exercise your will, to put a new man in the place or keep the old one still. So voters you must please yourselves, your judge and jury too, while we are waiting patiently, to hear what you will do. *** RESIDENTS of the Mornington Peninsula will be highly gratified to learn that the question of the provision of water supply has; at last, been practically settled. The Federal Public Works Committee, which was asked to investigate the matter, has decided in favor of the scheme drawn up by the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission, known as tile Bunyip scheme.

Its report recommending the adoption of this scheme will be presented as soon as Parliament meets. The Bunyip scheme, which the Public Works Committee recommends, has a catchment area of 211,000 acres . It is estimated that a supply for 300,000 people can be drawn from this scheme, and that even then the riparian rights of the settlers lower down stream will not be affected. The gaugings show that in the driest season and under the worst conditions, there is a daily flow of many million gallons, and analyses of the water have shown it to be a point better than the metropolitan supply. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 19 August, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

All aboard the 6am train to slumberland

By Stuart McCullough HE was sitting directly opposite. It was the 6.00am Frankston to Flinders Street and my fellow commuter was wrestling with the very concept of being awake. Despite his best efforts, his eyelids kept fluttering down over his pupils as his head tipped back and a small stream of saliva began oozing from the corner of his mouth. Part of me thought I should do something useful: perhaps leap forward and clap my hands or gently position my headphones in his ears before giving him a few seconds of ‘Release the Bats’ by the Birthday Party to send those eyelids rolling back like tin shutters. But, instead, I did nothing but watch on as he wavered like a human bowling pin, threatening to topple over at any minute.

We’ve all done it. Try as we might, sometimes sleep gets the better of us.

No one can ignore the siren-call of slumber land forever and it’s foolish to even try. Legend has it that Keith Richards once remained awake for five days straight but, frankly, Keith Richards isn’t much a benchmark when it comes to good living. Granted, his 1983 aerobic video beats Jane Fonda’s hands down and he’s a whizz with a juicer, but other than that, it’s best to let Keith be Keith. I, for one, have no interest in sleep deprivation.

I may have been wide-awake on the 6.00am to Flinders Street, but there are plenty of occasions when staying conscious has been too great a task. I have nodded off in all manner of circumstances including a Russian literature tutorial in second year Uni. I can’t remember which book we were

discussing, but chances are it was serious and laughs were very few and far between. Suffice to say, I was something less than riveted. As the discussion meandered showing no signs of coming to an end any time soon,

I could feel myself starting to wilt.

As I sat in my uncomfortable plastic chair, I slowly turned to lead, lurching slightly forward before catching myself and springing back to attention. It was only a matter of time.

Now that I think about it, the odds were against me. The room was unreasonably small. The book we were discussing was unforgivably large. To make matters worse, there’s a very good chance that I was yet to get around to reading anything more than the blurb, preferring instead to simply pick up on the ‘vibe’ of the thing in class. If that wasn’t enough, there was also a small electric heater in the corner, spewing heat into the atmosphere.

Frankly, given the circumstances, I’m surprised that anyone was awake.

Sensing I was in trouble, I used every trick in the book to avoid humiliation. First, I changed the way I was sitting in a bid to feel less comfortable. This I did by uncrossing my legs and sticking my head between my knees as though preparing for an emergency landing. Then, I bit my lip in the hope that a small jolt of pain might be enough to keep sheep and numbers as far from my thoughts as possible. But arithmetic livestock can only be kept at bay for so long. In an act of desperation, I even expended a great deal of energy in concentrating on every word my classmates uttered.

However, this backfired spectacularly and within moments I was completely unconscious and remained so until I fell off my chair onto the floor. The mark I received for the class was not nearly as memorable as the mark on my forehead after it collided with the table.

It’s not just Russian literature tutorials that have seen me nod off. I have even fallen asleep at a rock concert.

Granted, this was only made possible because the rock concert in question

was seated rather than standing (although nothing is beyond me). The artist responsible for sending me to sleepy town was Jose Gonzalez. On second thoughts, describing it as a ‘rock concert’ might be putting it too highly. Jose’s a long way from Led Zeppelin. It’s not so much a case of ‘hammer of the Gods’ as it is a wet lettuce leaf. Mr. Gonzalez specializes in laid-back acoustic music that plays in the background whilst you select the flat-pack your heart desires at IKEA. Perhaps I took the whole thing too literally. The music was ‘laid back’. I followed suit and swiftly fell asleep. I awoke to the unmistakable sensation of an elbow being plunged into my ribs just as Jose and his merry men were returning to the stage for an encore. Apparently, it was no problem for my eyes to be closed throughout the proceedings. However, my failure to clap for an encore was deemed unforgivable. I’ve never bought another of his recordings but, to this day, at the very mention of his name I feel surprisingly well rested.

I’m not sure if my fellow commuter had just heard a track by Jose Gonzalez or read the opening paragraph of Crime and Punishment, but he was struggling. I began to feel sorry for the lady sitting beside him as he crashed into her like an anchorless ship. Suddenly his eyes opened and he squeezed the arm of his neighbour. She squeezed back. He wasn’t being a nuisance after all and no intervention was necessary.

I could simply let sleeping dogs and passengers lie. Sweet dreams. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

HEART OF FICTION

By Andrea Louise Thomas Melbourne-based author Toni Jordan has penned four critically acclaimed novels. Originally from Brisbane, she studied physiology at the University of Queensland. She worked in molecular biology as a protein chemist amongst other things before becoming interested in copy writing. She took a Professional Writing and Editing course at RMIT and it was there that her first novel, Addition (2008), was born. It became an international bestseller. Her latest novel, Our Tiny Useless Hearts, has just been released. It’s brilliantly written, insightful and hilarious. I caught up with Jordan before she speaks at Frankston Library on August 27 as part of the Melbourne Writer’s Festival.

MINT: As an avid childhood reader, did you ever imagine you’d become a writer?

JORDAN: Not in a million years. I thought I’d work with Mum at the TAB or become a greyhound trainer. I didn’t grow up in a family that had very many artistic pursuits.

MINT: You started your professional life as a scientist. What prompted the shift to writing?

JORDAN: I worked in bench research for a lot of years. I ended up writing drug dossiers - scientific technical writing. I went back to uni to get a qualification in writing so I could start up my own business. Completely at random I chose one of the creative subjects. My first novel, Addition, was an assignment

for that course.

MINT: At what point did you realize you wanted to be a novelist?

JORDAN: Once I started writing Addition, I just didn’t stop. It was nervewracking for me to think I was going to be writing fiction full-time and I had a lot of trouble leaving my technical writing business behind, but writing is just my favourite thing. Now I’m well into it and I want to do it forever.

MINT: What was the inspiration for Our Tiny Useless Hearts?

JORDAN: I was reading Anna Karenina on holidays. I stole the beginning from Tolstoy. The second line in it is, ‘The house was in an uproar because the husband’s affair with the governess had just been discovered.’ I just couldn’t stop thinking about what a great start that was for a farce. I wanted to write a comedy and this line from Anna Karenina kept going through my mind. I like a good old-fashioned farce - people coming in and out of doors and hiding naked in cupboards.

I’m really pleased with how it turned out.

MINT: Is your protagonist, Janice modeled after you?

JORDAN: There are circumstances that aren’t but certainly I worked as a microbiologist for a long time.

Certainly I spent a number of years on IVF unsuccessfully. So I suppose I’ve stolen both those things. She’s a bit more diligent than I am and much more

patient so I’ve given her bits of me, but other bits are completely her.

MINT: How do you go about constructing your novels?

JORDAN: I write from beginning to end.

I’ve got to keep going. I kind of imagine it from the reader’s point of view so I can’t muck around. I’m pretty good now with it coming out just the way I want it.

MINT: What advice would you give to an emerging writer?

JORDAN: I think people need to spread their reading wings a little bit wider.

I think people read well within their narrow band of interest, but sometimes things from outside your normal thinking can teach you the most.

MINT: How would you suggest going about getting new work published?

JORDAN: I think that you need to concentrate on being the kind of writer that everyone wants to publish. Do well in some competitions. Write work that is so fantastic that word of mouth precedes you.

MINT: What would you most like to be remembered for as a writer?

JORDAN: If I can make people laugh when they are going through a difficult time, that is more than enough for me.

Twenty-six-year-old Torres Strait Islander Daniel O’Shane won the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s National Works on Paper Prize of $15,000 sponsored by Beleura House & Garden. National Works on Paper was established in 1998 and incorporated the former Spring Festival of Drawing and the Prints Acquisitive which began in 1973. The National Works on Paper is a biennial prize and exhibition organised by Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery to discover and showcase the most outstanding contemporary works on paper from across the nation. Works acquired from the National Works on Paper become a part of the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s collection – one of the most renowned works on paper collections in Australia.

The 2016 judges were Kirsty Grant, Director & CEO of the Heide Museum of Modern Art; Roger Butler, Senior Curator, Australian Prints and Drawings, National Gallery of Australia and Jane Alexander, Director Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery. The judges commented: “The winning work by Daniel O’Shane is remarkably accomplished and monumental in scale; created by a young artist, using the traditions of Torres Strait Islander art that has developed in Cairns over the last 20 years.

Coming out of the histories of carving pearl shell, the intricacy of the cutting in this work is simply amazing.”

O’Shane’s work was chosen from the sixty-six artists shortlisted from around Australia from close to 1,000 entries for the $50,000 National Works on Paper acquisitions and awards.

The prize, the most prestigious acquisitive prize and exhibition of its type in Australia, showcases recent works by artists working in the field of drawing, printmaking, digital prints and paper sculpture.

Victorian artist Lily Mae Martin was the winner of the $3500 Ursula Hoff Institute Emerging Artist Acquisitive Art Award 2016 for her work Wrestling three. Other pieces acquired include works by Jonas Ropponen, who grew up on

The Friends of MPRG purchased Brian Robinson’s Up in the Heavens.

The Mayor, Cr Graham Pittock says “The Mornington Peninsula Shire has provided critical funding support since the 1970s towards the MPRG’s acclaimed National Works on Paper exhibition. This exhibition of contemporary works is held every second year at the Gallery and has resulted in its Permanent Collection becoming a significant and valuable community asset featuring works by legendary Australian artists such John Olsen, Rick Amor, Gloria Petyarre and Charles Blackman.”

The 2016 National Works on Paper exhibition runs until 11 September 2016.

Come along to the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s National Works on Paper Family Day, with ‘drop-in’ creative activities, Sunday 28 August, 2pm–4.30pm, $4 adults, $2 concession, no bookings required.

Bulls respond to turmoil PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt KARINGAL put a week of turmoil behind it on Saturday, ending Edithvale-Aspendale’s 2016 season.

It was a massive game for both footy clubs at Ballam Park, the Bulls hoping to respond to the resignation of their coach Michael Triep on Tuesday, while the Eagles needed to win to reclaim their place in the top five.

Edithvale now needs to beat Frankston YCW at home in the final home and away game of the season while hoping that Mt Eliza can beat Seaford, who is currently in fifth spot.

The Tigers are two points clear on 34 points.

Karingal trailed by 22 points at half time on Saturday and by 19 points at three-quarter time. Everything was going to plan for the Eagles.

However, through the likes of one of the competition’s greatest of all time, Michael Burke, together with Cal Dixon and youngster Christian Matthews, the Bulls booted six goals to one in the final term to run out 10.11 (71) to 8.9 (57) winners.

Earlier in the day on the RPP Footy Show, Karingal President Daniel Watts took “full responsibility” for the coaching dramas of earlier in the week, which saw Triep resign and assistant Leigh Poholke take the reigns for the remainder of the season.

“It’s a really exciting time at the footy club with new three million dollar rooms being announced, works going on around the ground and a really exciting crop of kids coming through,” Watts said.

“I may have been guilty of taking my eye off what was happening on the footy field and not listening to some of the things that were bubbling along under the surface.

“In essence, without going into detail, the senior playing group didn’t feel that Michael was the best person to take us forward as senior coach in 2017.

“We spoke with Michael about that and after some consideration, he felt that he couldn’t go on given he didn’t have the support of the full playing group.

“For me personally, it was devastating news. Michael and his family have put more into this footy club in the past three years than anyone I can remember in my time at the club.

“Our seniors have a great crop of youngsters and our U19s, U17s and U15s are all really strong. Michael has been responsible for bringing at least 70 kids to our club.

That’s a long way from where we were three years ago.

“As tough as it is though, footy clubs are a business and they have to be run like a business. If the man at the top doesn’t have the support, then a decision has to be made and we have to quickly move on. That’s the nature of footy clubs.

“I’m really, really hopeful that in time, Michael will decide to stay with us in some capacity,” Watts said.

Karingal has already put together a sub-committee to find a new coach and this process will begin “as soon as this week”.

There’s a lot to like about the list of Karingal Football Club and it would be a very interesting proposition for an aspiring or existing coach.

Bonbeach may have been the form side but Frankston YCW again flexed its muscles on Saturday, winning 11.13 (79) to 7.1 (43).

The margin may have been six goals, however 24 scoring shots to eight clearly highlight the dominance of the Stonecats.

The home side opened up a 27 point quarter time lead, however, the margin was just eight points at the final change. YCW then kicked four unanswered goals in the last to win comfortably.

Paul Minchington was outstanding with three goals and Anthony Bruhn booted four. Sam Widdowson played arguably his best game.

Ash and Nick Waterstone were the best of the Sharks while Luke Damon kicked three goals.

Mornington made it four wins in five games with an easy 13.11 (89) to 7.9 (51) victory over Langwarrin.

Jimmy Cameron was the best player on the ground while Barry Smeeton was also very good out of the middle. Jai Haddock did the job on Langwarrin forward Kieren Albanese.

Mt Eliza bounced back and smashed Chelsea 22.14 (146) to 9.6 (60) in Dan Gormley’s 150th game.

Jordan Capkin booted six goals for the Redlegs while Harper Leonard dominated.

Yabbies break the drought NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THREE years and three days or a total of 1099 days – that’s how long it had been since the Tyabb Football Club had been on its losing streak.

The Yabbies last win had come in the final home and away round of the 2013 season against Somerville.

On Saturday, facing 50 straight losses in a row, Tyabb broke the drought, dominating for four quarters to beat Pearcedale by 37 points, 13.8 (86) to 6.13 (49).

The Yabbies booted the first 11 goals of the game before Travis Bravo kicked the Panthers first at the 18 minute mark of the third quarter.

As you could imagine, the Yabbies belted out the club theme song with enormous gusto.

Coach Mark Paganoni said on Sunday morning that he was ‘still pinching myself wondering what happened yesterday.”

The Yabbies went into the game with four second gamers, fielding one of its youngest sides for the season.

In fact, 14 of the Yabbies’ playing group had played just 173 games between them. The average games among the 22 was less than 35.

Paganoni said his team “played out of their skin”.

“We’ve been threatening in fits and starts for a lot of the season but just lacked some belief,” Paganoni said.

“We conceded the first 10 goals against Devon Meadows and then got back to within 19 points, so I think that was the catalyst for the belief.

“Things went our way too. We won the toss, which we haven’t been able to do in games we gave ourselves a chance in, and things just worked out for us.

“The more experienced players in the group supported the younger players and shared the ball with them and it all went really well for us,” he said.

The Yabbies have been so close in 2016 and the final home and away win was just reward for the commitment of the group.

“We’ve had 40-50 players on the track, despite not winning a game, which says a lot about the group,” Paganoni said.

“Now we need to build on that. We need a couple of experienced players, because we have outstanding young talent, and we need some more people to support the club off the field.

“Hopefully this win is the catalyst to take us to greater heights in 2017,” he said.

Hastings and Red Hill will limp into their “do-or-die” elimination final on Sunday at Rosebud after coming-off horror losses in the final round of the season.

Hastings was thrashed by Frankston Bombers, conceding the first six goals of the game, while Red Hill was touched up by Sorrento, who missed the finals.

The Blues went into the game without ruckman Josh Mulherron, coach Brendan Dunne and arguably the best player in the game, Paul Rogasch.

This allowed Frankston’s Ryan Kitchen to control the ruck and dominate around the ground, dominate around the stoppages and clearances and kick easy goals.

The final score of 18.16 (124) to 15.7 (97) flattered Hastings. The Blues booted six unanswered goals in the fi-

nal quarter when the game was already iced. They trailed by more than 10 goals at three quarter time.

The reason the Blues were poleaxed was because of poor decision making and execution. The Blues also allowed the Bombers to have numbers behind the footy. They overused the footy and went indirect, playing totally into Frankston’s hands, allowing them to push back in numbers and utilise the spare.

Mark Devereaux and Nathan Gray were targeted physically by the Bombers but they withstood the onslaught and played very good games. Jake Hewitt was outstanding across half back and Scott Foster was clearly their best player.

The Bombers, who finished on top of the ladder, had winners everywhere.

Dale Sutton and Sam Fox dominated,

Fox booting four majors and Ryan Marks-Logan was outstanding, as always, in the back half.

The match as also Brian O’Carroll’s 150th game.

Red Hill were humiliated by Sorrento.

The Sharks had 40 scoring shots to just 15 and the result should have been a lot worse than 14.26 (110) to 8.7 (55).

A 10 goal loss going into an elimination final isn’t ideal.

There are some Red Hill players, who, in the past couple of weeks, have gone away from what they do best and that is hunting the ball and creating their own opportunities.

For the second week in a row, one of the games’ best in Harry Larwill, who is so important for the red and white, has been waiting for silver service. He

needs to get back to working hard.

Luke Tapscott was clearly the best player on the ground with five goals, while the Sharks also played Tom Langford in his second game, who had zero influence on the match.

Somerville geared up for its qualifying final against nemesis Rosebud with a convincing 17.17 (119) to 4.5 (29) win against Crib Point while Rosebud demolished yet another team, restricting Devon Meadows to 3.8 (26) while they booted 15.18 (108).

In the final game, Rye came back in the second half to beat Dromana by a point, 14.13 (97) to 14.12 (96). The Demons trailed by 17 points at half time but booted nine goals to six after the break to scrape home in a thriller.

Baxter in promotion romp, bad break for Ojo SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie BAXTER continued to celebrate promotion from State 5 South with a 3-0 win over visitor Pakenham United on Saturday.

Baxter created enough chances to make this a double-figure rout as Shaun Walker turned on a midfield masterclass while strikers Mark Pagliarulo and Liam Kilner terrorised the Pakenham defence.

The visitors can thank keeper Jarrod Reynolds whose heroics time and again kept his team in the contest.

Baxter should have scored four goals inside a five-minute period of the first half highlighted by an interpassing combination involving Frank Ntim and Pagliarulo and ending with a first-time Kilner volley that went wide.

One minute later Daniel Disseldorp unleashed a 25-metre thunderbolt that sent the ball crashing against the inside of the far post and bouncing back across goal before being scrambled clear.

Pagliarulo finally broke the deadlock in the 51st minute when he received a quick long throw-in on the left of the penalty box then skinned two defenders before sending a firm low shot that beat a diving Reynolds at the near post.

Bryce Ingram and Daniel Sharratt blew oneon-one chances before Kilner gave Baxter a two-goal cushion with a firm header in the 71st minute getting on to the end of substitute Rhys Wilson’s deflected cross.

Pagliarulo broke onto a long Heath Goss ball in the 80th minute and once clear of Reynolds had a tap-in to complete the scoreline.

Rosebud Heart remained on track to complete the season with a perfect record in State 5 South after a 3-1 home win over East Bentleigh on Saturday.

Dave Greening gave Heart the lead in the 25th minute with a spectacular side-foot volley following a superb Blake Hicks cross.

But East Bentleigh caught out Heart on the counter attack in the 45th minute to make it 1-1.

Despite dominating possession in the second stanza Heart had to wait until the 76th minute to regain the lead thanks to a low volley from Hicks from just inside the box.

Eight minutes later a long clearance from Heart keeper Sean Skelly sent Greening through and he made no mistake for his 28th goal of the league campaign.

The State 2 South-East clash between Peninsula Strikers and St Kilda on Saturday was abandoned after Strikers keeper Ritchie Ojo fractured his tibia and dislocated his ankle in the 15th minute and had to be taken to Frankston Hospital.

Ojo was operated on the following morning and his playing future remains uncertain.

Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United continued its recent fine form with a 1-0 away win over Doncaster Rovers in their State 2 South-East encounter last Friday night.

Seaford has now taken eight points from its past four games and what once loomed as a horror season has been transformed thanks to senior coach Paolo Pinheiro and his staff.

Dylan Waugh has played a significant role in the change in the club’s fortunes and his 15th goal of the season was enough to give Pinheiro’s men all three points against Rovers.

The home team failed to clear a Paul McGuire corner in the 30th minute gifting Waugh a simple header.

McGuire was denied from the penalty spot by Rovers keeper Matt Davoli in the 65th minute while Seaford custodian Paul DiGiorgio, who has been in fine form since returning from injury, chalked up another clean sheet.

Mornington maintained its march towards back-to-back State 1 South-East titles with a 3-0 away win over relegation-threatened Berwick City on Saturday.

Goals to Steve Elliott, Shane Tagliaferro and Andy Skledar in the second half settled the issue.

Mornington has received an international clearance from the Hellenic Football Federa-

Langwarrin edged out Mooroolbark 4-3 in Saturday’s State 1 South-East contest at Esther Park.

Mooroolbark’s Brett Tronconi looped a floating header over Langy keeper Robert Acs in the 34th minute to open the scoring.

Langwarrin then had a strong penalty claim denied after Koray Suat was brought down but just on half-time another infringement on Suat saw the referee point to the penalty spot and Langy scoring legend Caleb Nicholes obliged.

The second half was only minutes old when Nicholes headed home a cross from Nick Thorogood to make it 2-1.

Within three minutes scores were level after Davey Breckett equalised for the home side with another header.

Nicholes secured his hat-trick from a free kick to make it 3-2 but an Alex Van Heerwarden own goal made it 3-3.

The issue was settled by Langy substitute Brandon Giles when he struck home a cutback

by Nicholes late in the match.

But for two stunning saves by Acs the home team could have come away with a share of the points.

Frankston Pines continued to stare down the barrel of relegation from State 1 South-East after losing 6-1 away to Malvern City last weekend.

Daniel Hilder and Jordan Templin both notched hat-tricks while Pines’ solitary response came from Josh Calle.

Pines’ captain Kyle Crawford has moved to New Zealand while veteran sweeper Ben Caffrey is overseas and will miss next weekend’s clash with Clifton Hill.

Goals to Matt Wilson (2), Nick Theodore and Michael Putson spearheaded a 4-3 away win for Skye United over Lyndale United last Saturday.

Skye remains on top of State 4 South a point ahead of Keysborough and is at home to East Brighton on Saturday night.

NEXT WEEKEND’S GAMES Saturday, 20 August, 3pm: Mornington v Casey Comets (Dallas Brooks Park), Langwarrin v Warragul Utd (Lawton Park), Clifton Hill v Frankston Pines (Quarries Park), Seaford Utd v Noble Park Utd (North Seaford Reserve), Beaumaris v Peninsula Strikers (Beaumaris Reserve), Dandenong Warriors v Rosebud Heart (Lois Twohig Reserve), Baxter bye.
