Kids crack the code A NEW digital literacy program running at Frankston libraries from 9 February will give children a head start in the world of computer programming.

A trained facilitator will lead the Code Club Australia program, teaching children aged 9-11 how to code, make computer games, animations and websites with projects that introduce children to programming languages such as Scratch, Python, HTML and CSS. Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial said children will have the opportunity to learn computer programming skills through learning together, discovering and inventing through play. “It is fantastic that we have a volunteer-led extracurricular activity that is providing opportunities for children to learn a skill that will undoubtedly assist them greatly in our fast-growing, technology-rich society.�

The free program will be held at Frankston Library on Thursdays at 4pm from 9 February.

Bookings open on Monday 23 January.

See library.frankston.vic.gov.au or call 9784 1020 for further details.

Tennis complex back in play Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au GRAND plans to build a $14 million tennis centre at Centenary Park have not been slammed out of bounds despite the Centenary Park Golf Club deciding not to be part of the proposed project.

Councillors at December’s public council meeting heard the volunteerrun golf club wanted to remain selfsufficient rather than move to a commercial footing.

Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial said last week council had met with representatives of the Frankston Tennis Club, Bayside Gymnastics Club, Tennis Victoria and Gymnastics Victoria and had agreed to exclude the golf course and management of the club from the planned Centenary Park tennis complex.

The new centre has been proposed as a solution to a relocation of the Frankston Tennis Club, founded in 1891, from its corner of Hastings Rd

Looming move: The Frankston Tennis Club will have to relocate when Frankston Hospital extends its borders.

Picture: Gary Sissons

and Yuille St site.

Council officers have been speaking to the Frankston Tennis Club since it will have to vacate its site next to Frankston Hospital when the hospital expands and adds more buildings.

In 2015, council proposed the Frankston Tennis Club could merge with the Frankston East Tennis Club, located near the golf course, and two lawn bowls greens could also be in-

cluded in the project.

The bowls greens have been dropped from the project and council officers recommended Bayside Gymnastics would be a suitable tenant in any new sports complex.

The gymnastics club uses a gym at Langwarrin Park Primary School where equipment has to be reassembled for each gymnastics session.

Cr Cunial said last week’s meeting “was very constructive, with all par-

ties committing to move forward�. “It was agreed to continue to pursue the Centenary Park project, recognising that additional work will be needed on the management model and financial arrangements with the clubs and the peak bodies, Tennis Victoria and Gymnastics Victoria,�

Cr Cunial said in a statement. “Further discussions will be held with the clubs around their needs in order to develop a concept plan that can then be costed, which is vital in identifying funding sources. “This work will occur over the next six weeks, where the groups will then reconvene for a further review of the project. Councillors will then be updated on the progress of the project.�

The Frankston Tennis Club is located on Crown and state government owned land. The club’s lease ends in November 2022 but can be terminated earlier by the state government.

A council officer report tabled at last month’s council meeting stated Peninsula Health has offered $1.5 million to the tennis club towards its

relocation, expected to be imminent next year.

At the December public meeting, some tennis club members questioned Cr Colin Hampton’s involvement in making decisions about the Centenary Park project since he is a long-time member of Centenary Park Golf Club.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said council had received legal opinion that advised Cr Hampton has an interest in common and not an interest in common. “There is a belief that Cr Colin Hampton does not have a conflict of interest,� Mr Hovenden said.

Cr Hampton made it clear he would be part of discussions and will vote with fellow councillors on the proposed Centenary Park project. “I don’t have a conflict of interest – I have an interest in common,� Cr Hampton said.

The Local Government Act allows councillors to vote on matters if they are a member of a club and not on a board or committee.

Basketball stadium upgrade to begin

Service to honour former policeman A MEMORIAL service next month will dedicate Frankston Hospital’s new operating theatre to former police constable Phillip Gordon Fleming.

Constable Fleming was an observer in a police divisional van travelling along the Boulevard, Kew, in February 1971, when it ran off the road, crashed through a fence and plunged down an embankment. He received massive head injuries and died instantly.

The ceremony at 10am, Friday 17 February, will be held with full police honours in the presence of Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton.

Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation Peninsula Branch president Darryl Nation said the dedication will be held at the City of Frankston Bowling Club, corner of William and Yuille streets, Frankston.

Email rhonnation@optusnet.com.au or call 9775 5978 for more details.

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au CONSTRUCTION on the longawaited expansion of the Frankston Basketball Stadium will begin next month.

Frankston Council has awarded a contract to Williamstown-based Devco Project & Construction Management to build stage one of the $12.45 million project.

Devco built the State Basketball Centre in Wantirna South in 2012.

Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial said the stadium expansion – to include new courts, more seating, a new entry and reception area, new change rooms and upgraded car park – will support the continued growth of basketball in the region.

Frankston and District Basketball Association secretary Rob Little said the association will continue working with council to source funding for further improvements to the stadium which caters for 14,000 participants each year.

Mr Little said retractable seating a mezzanine level for association members and the establishment of a regional high-performance centre in future stages would attract international teams and major events to Frankston.

“In 2017, Frankston Basketball will be hosting the University of Texas men’s basketball team, but we are currently limited with the resources we are able to offer these international-level athletes,” he said.

“Further resourcing our high-per-

formance capabilities will only attract more teams of this nature which provides economic benefits for our region.”

A temporary stadium entrance will be open on the north side of the basketball centre during expansion construction works expected to be completed within 18 months.

The stadium expansion is mostly

being funded by taxpayers and ratepayers.

The federal government contributed $4.95 million, the state govern-

ment $2.5 million, Frankston Council $4 million and the Frankston and District Basketball Association $1 million.

The Coalition federal government and Labor state government were embroiled in months of arguments over levels of funding for the Frankston Basketball Stadium over several months in 2015 and last year.

VISITORS will be able to see through telescopes and, weather permitting, view stars, planets, clusters and galaxies at sessions being run by Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society.

They are at 8pm, Friday 20 January, and then every first Friday of each month at the purpose built observatory next to the Briars Outdoor Ed Camp, 450 Nepean Hwy, Mt Martha.

Group bookings are available on- or off-site, said Dr Sky Murphy of the not-for-profit society.

Showers a service for those in need A CHARITY providing showers for homeless people in Frankston and Chelsea is struggling to keep up with demand.

Portable shower service, Clean as Casper, has been providing free warm showers near Community Support Frankston (CSF), and at Chelsea’s Church of Christ once a week for the past six months.

But founder Steve Winterton said demand was high and the mobile service hoped to increase visits to Frankston and Chelsea to twice a week.

He said a $10,000 grant under the Sunsuper ‘Dreams for a Better World’ program would go a long way towards helping the charity buy a new van so it could provide a fully enclosed showering and change facility.

Mr Winterton said the portable shower, currently set up on a trailer, could only service up to seven people per visit to Frankston and Chelsea, and that an extra session in each area was needed to meet demand.

CSF manager Steve Phillips said Clean as Casper provided a much-needed service that helped restore dignity and provide comfort to vulnerable people.

“For anyone sleeping rough or living in difficult circumstances, this service provides more than just a chance to take a warm shower, it provides an opportunity for people to sit down and talk to counsellors or access other services,” he said.

Mr Phillips disagreed with Melbourne Lord Mayor Robert Doyle’s recent comments about Melbourne’s homeless crisis. Cr Doyle said it was misguided to provide services and comforts that allowed homeless people to stay on the streets.

“There is nothing comfortable about being homeless,” Mr Phillips said.

He said the loss of the City Life service in Frankston means support services to homeless people are essential.

A matter of physique FRANKSTON bodybuilder Kim Parrott has been rewarded for her punishing training regime, frugal diet and persistent pursuit of her training goals.

She has just returned from winning the world bodybuilding championships in Canada in November.

In 2015, Parrott became the Female Figure Overall Champion for Australasian Natural Bodybuilding Fitness Mania. This qualified her to compete in the Ultimate Fitness Events World Championships Elite division in Toronto that year.

Unable to go due to prior commitments, she set herself to compete again late last year, win again, and go to Toronto late last year.

“In April I achieved my goal,” she said. “I was going to Canada, my home country, to compete at world level [in November].”

After working with personal trainer Ty Hanley, of Hanley’s Fitness Mornington, Parrott placed first in Elite Masters Physique and qualified to compete in the Professional show – three shows over two days – and placed second in Elite Masters Figure.

She also came second in Open Elite Figure and qualified to compete in the Professional show.

“The added bonus was that all of the other Australians had qualified at a professional level as well.

We were showing them how it was done!”

Parrott came fourth in the Professional Figure category and won the Professional Physique contest.

“My name was called, my medal

L G A N N FI E N I E R SC

was put around my neck and my tiara was placed on my head. There were no words to say how I was feeling,” she said.

Her training for the championships ramped up after the April win.

“I had one rest day and was straight back into the gym. Ty had a 26-week plan that mapped out everything down to the day. He knew when we were doing strength or hypertrophy training, when I would do high-intensity training and when I would begin my walking regime, including how many kilometres a day and week.

“There were a few weeks at the end where I walked 90km a week.

We never had any question of what was needed to be done and the only changes made were around my work.”

The full-time paramedic based at Langwarrin works a four-day-on, four-day-off roster which includes two 10-hour days, 11-hour afternoon and 14 hour night shift.

She also works as a trainer at Hanley’s Fitness a couple of days a week.

Musical youth on the beat THE Peninsula Youth Music Society’s 37th annual summer music school, from 9-13 January, provided hours of musical entertainment, education and fun for young music hopefuls.

The program, held at Mount Erin Secondary College, is designed to give students aged 5 to 18 an enjoyable and musical experience, with activities such as rhythm ’n’ beat, movement and dance, try an instrument, sing a song and percussive beat.

Designed for students with little or no experience, there are sessions for concert band, woodwind, brass and percussion stage band, string orchestra and vocal theatre.

This year more than 150 students took part, making friends while exploring sounds and

r e m m Su Sale

creating music.

Parents and friends had the opportunity to enjoy a concert on the last Friday evening at the Frankston Art Centre to highlight the students’ new skills.

The Peninsula Youth Music Society is a not-for-profit organisation established in1981 to provide school-aged students with opportunities to enjoy involvement in music, broaden their musical experience and develop ensemble performance skills.

The society also holds a range of evening and weekend activities throughout the school year.

Characters in call to cut smoking SMOKING rates in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula are significantly higher than the state average – statistics Peninsula Health and local schools are out to improve.

“Most people in our community would agree that no one wants their kids to smoke,” Kristen Young, health promotion practitioner at Peninsula Health, said. “But, for an issue with so much support, the score card on tobacco use within our local community is quite dismal.”

The service is collaborating with Mornington Peninsula Shire youth services and Frankton Mornington Peninsula Primary Care Partnership to create the Smokescreen Project.

It was launched last year at Mornington Park Primary School, Balcombe Grammar and Advance Community College.

Over five interactive sessions, students learned stop motion video production techniques and explored the implications of smoking.

“We were lucky to engage talented artist Brett Cardwell, from Cardytoons, who worked with the students to storyboard their ideas, develop characters for the clips and learn stop motion animation techniques for their Smokescreen clips,” Ms Young said.

“It was a great project and the kids loved it,” Mornington Park Primary School teacher Anna Vevers said.

“It was a fantastic learning experience and, if there is an opportunity for the grade sixers next year to be involved, I know that we would be really keen.”

Four of the short video clips developed through the Smokescreen Project will be screened at the Peninsula Short Film Festival, 3-5 February.

Peninsula Health is seeking funding to continue the Smokescreen Project in 2017. Those interested in being involved should call Ms Young on 9788 1506.

Stamp, coin fair PENINSULA Stamp Club will hold a “Stamps, Coins & Card Fair” on Saturday 21 January, at the Dromana Uniting Church Hall, corner Point Nepean Rd and McCulloch St, Dromana (Melway 159 G6).

There is car parking nearby. Call 0418 322 315 for details.

Run for hospital SHARPY’S Beer Run organisers are hoping to double the number of entrants than ran in last year’s inaugural event which attracted 350 runners.

Starting and finishing at Main Ridge, the event over 21 and 10 kilometres on Saturday 18 March supports The Bays Hospital through entrance fees and donations.

The runners pass through Arthurs Seat state park.

A 200-metre Pints for Prostates Dash raises money for the hospital’s prostate nurse services.

Call Deborah Sharp, 0410 794 631 or email debsharp80@gmail.com for more information.

Training ground Equestrian Science International has opened a training centre on the Mornington Peninsula on 4.5 hectares at the former Basinghall Farm in Tuerong.

Run by horse trainer, coach and winner of the Eureka prize for science, Dr Andrew McLean, and his rider coach wife Manu, ESI offers qualifications in equitation science through equine courses online, as well as clinics and lessons.

Earhart’s car lands at Mornington A CAR given to pioneering women aviator Amelia Earhart will be in Mornington next month as part of the RACV Great Australian Rally.

The front wheel drive supercharged Cord was a present from Earhart’s husband, George Putnam, who had it painted in her favourite colour, “Eleanor blue�, named after her friend Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of the long serving United States’ president, Franklin D Roosevelt.

The Cord’s owner, Terry Dowel of Beaconsfield, will exhibit his car at the rally which raises money for research by the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean - from Canada to Wales - as a crew member in 1928 and in 1932 she was the first woman pilot to fly solo across the same ocean, in a record of 15 hours 18 minutes.

A successful author, Earhart’s ambition was to be the first woman to fly solo around the world, and on 1 June 1937 she set out to fly the longest route, around the equator – 45,000 kilometres.

One month later on 2 July, after covering 39,000 kilometres, the 40-year-old pilot’s Lockheed 10 Electra disappeared over the Pacific after leaving Lae, in Papua-New Guinea, en route to Hawaii via Howland Island, the second last leg of the journey. No trace of her aircraft has ever been found.

Mornington Racecourse will open to the public from 10am to 4pm on Sunday 5 February.

Food and wine will be available, along with other attractions.

Adults $10; children under 14 are free. Entry fees are donated to Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre for cancer research.

Light attraction to dream about ROSEBUD will host an international lighting extravaganza featuring some of the most loveable characters from Dreamwork’s animation in an Australian-first exhibition.

Around 100, huge illuminated figures from the movies Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon and Madagascar will come to life and light up the Rosebud foreshore in April.

Lights by DreamWorks is an interactive, walkthrough experience that will run for 30 days and is expected to attract more than 300,000 visitors.

Modelled on the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival, Lights by DreamWorks also features a variety of scenographic pieces, LED furnishings, themed technology and learning zones, an immer-

sive cinema experience and animatronic dragons.

The exhibition, previously only seen in Chile and London, was previewed in Rosebud on Friday by acting Tourism and Major Events Minister Philip Dalidakis.

Mr Dalidakis said the launch at Rosebud was “a great opportunity for visitors to explore one of Victoria’s seaside regional towns”.

DreamWorks consumer products country director Jo Pascoe said it was exciting to bring the lantern experience to Australia for the first time.

“We’re looking forward to seeing eyes young and old light up when they experience our large scale illuminated characters for the very first time in such a beautiful part of Victoria.”

Shark alert ends surf day Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A DAY of fun in the water at Point Leo for up to 150 people with disabilities was called off on Saturday because of sharks.

It was feared sharks would be attracted to the beach by a rotting whale carcass washed up on the beach at nearby Shoreham on Wednesday.

The committee of the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula changed the year’s first event from surfing to a barbecue – although the

shark threat did not deter surfers enjoying the first swell in Western Port since the New Year.

DSA Mornington Peninsula president Ashley Gardner said the event’s cancellation followed consultation with members of the committee, local shark expert Kent Stannard (Tag for Life), as well as a marine biologist and Point Leo Foreshore reserve regarding removal of whale carcass.

The poor condition of the juvenile humpback meant it was not possible to determine its cause of death, but the presence of three orcas – killer whales – off Seal Rocks the previous may

have been a factor.

Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning officers were on site Thursday assessing their options of removing the carcass, such as carrying it off the beach or burying it. They decided on Friday to use a front-end loader to bury the nine-metre carcass above the high-tide mark.

DELWP incident controller Shane Van Den Born said the whale had been in the water “several weeks” and its missing tail was evidence of shark bites.

“We were hoping the hot spell would break down the body or that a high tide

would wash it out to sea, but it looks like we will have to bury it.”

He said rocks and difficult access made it impractical to carry the carcass up off the beach.

DELWP communications manager Sally Bateman said whales and their remains were protected and must not be disturbed or removed without authorisation. The department is the responsible agency for responding to whale and dolphin strandings.

“We have the trained and experienced staff, equipment and plans to respond to these types of events, which occur occasionally along our coastline,

in a safe and coordinated way,” she said.

Anyone seeing a shark or a swimmer in danger should call 000 or notify lifesavers if at a patrolled beach.

Swimmers are advised not to swim in places where human or animal waste enters the water, and not to remain in the water with bleeding wounds. They should keep away from large schools of fish, seals or other wildlife.

The latest sighting information is on the VicEmergency website and app.

For information on staying safe around sharks see lsv.com.au/sharksafety online.

Lady luck: Jan Brown, Narelle Colahan and guest Suzanne Lynch celebrate their memorable achievements on the golf course. Picture: Supplied

Trio of aces defies the odds IN an amazing start to the year, three Rosebud Country Club players in the women’s competition scored holes-in-one on the same hole on the same day.

Members Jan Brown, Narelle Colahan and guest Suzanne Lynch all “aced” the 14th hole on the club’s south course, Tuesday 10 January.

“Holes-in-one on the golf course are rare, with the club seeing maybe a handful each year,”

marketing and membership manager Nicole Grace said.

“The probability of a hole-in-one for the average player is about 12,500:1. The chances of two people scoring an ace on the same hole on the same day are in the 17 million:1 range.

“Add in a third person hitting from the same tees, and the statistics are beyond belief.”

LETTERS Pause to think Please, please, please people, stop walking your dogs on hot pavements.

I can’t believe the number of otherwise responsible pet owners (at least one hopes they’re normally responsible) who force their poor little pooches to walk on blazing hot footpaths in summer.

The owners are fine; they’ve got shoes on.

May I suggest if you’re thinking of taking Fido out for a lunchtime stroll you remove your shoes first and try walking on that hot cement?

Unless you’re both cruel and sadistic I suspect you’ll speedily change your mind about that midday walk that burns the paws of your pet and take them out at a more reasonable time.

Heather Kennedy, Seaford

Danger for dogs As temperatures soar and reach new records all over the country, please remember that dogs should never be left in parked vehicles — which can become death traps in a matter of minutes.

Even on a mild, 25-degree day, the temperature inside a car parked in the shade can soar to between 37 and 50 degrees in minutes; on a 30-degree day, the temperature can reach 70 degrees in less than 10 minutes.

Leaving the windows cracked (or even halfway down) and/or leaving water in the vehicle will not keep animals comfortable or safe.

With only hot air to breathe dogs can succumb to heatstroke in as little as 15 minutes, resulting in brain damage or death. Symptoms include restlessness, excessive thirst, heavy panting, lethargy, lack of appetite and coordination, dark tongue, and vomiting.

Please, when it’s warm outside, leave animals at home. If you see a dog left in a car, have the car’s owner paged at nearby stores or call 000 immediately — the dog’s life depends on it.

Ashley Fruno, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Australia

Economic slaves Your article by David Chalke “Peasants are revolting and that’s how they see their leaders” (The

Light it up: Fireworks put on a spectacular show for attendees at this year’s Frankston Waterfront Festival at the weekend.

Picture: Gary Sissons

Times 9/1/17) is so pertinent to life in Australia today. It is refreshing to read a candid, truthful account of the economic and social situation in Australia instead of the usual drivel about jobs and growth, the “new economy” and deficits and surpluses.

In 1381 the English peasants revolted against the same problems faced by the Australian peasants of today and beheaded their Lord High Treasurer, which sounds like a good idea to me.

I have been of the belief that we are in World War III, not the blood and guts nuclear type of war, but economic warfare to achieve the same results.

Australia has already been vanquished, almost all of our industrial might gone; even Victoria’s Hazelwood power station being closed down by foreign owners.

Our wealth now largely dependent on supplying iron ore, coal and gas to other countries, all of our manufactured goods coming from other countries.

Few jobs here for the peasants, mostly “banana republic” jobs in tourism, agriculture and servicing ourselves.

The peasants are being forced into slavery, not ball and chain slaves, but economic slaves, man and wife being put into huge debt for life, with real wages spiralling downwards.

Money and economics is everything, the people are nothing - just units of economic resource.

Perhaps we need another Great Depression to level things out and start to rebuild this country back to where it was in 1967.

I’m still attracted to the beheading option.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Soccer’s high score I just want to thank Craig MacKenzie for his informative fortnightly Soccer column in The Times, it’s great to get all the background stuff on local clubs.

As one who doesn’t use Facebook or Twitter I believe that, but for MacKenzie’s column I would have little or no up to date information about soccer (its taken me the best part of half a century to get used to using that word, but I’m getting there) ] here on the Mornington Peninsula. Long may it continue.

Best wishes for the coming season and why can’t you guys give us a weekly Soccer column?

Chris Mooney, Hastings Editor: Craig MaccKenzie is about to start writing about soccer for The News on a weekly basis.

Visitors depart Only a week or so now until Australia Day,

where we say a very fond farewell to the vast majority of our visiting multicultural hordes. As the supply of this excellent newspaper disappears so quickly during January, no doubt our visitors checking (a possible whim?) on properties for sale.

Our op shops, as good as any in Australia, are for second hand goods in reasonable condition, including cleaned and/or washed clothing. Do not use them as a dumping ground. We have a tip for the rubbish. Adieux passionnés.

Cliff Ellen, Rye

Pension scare Once again we have lies and scare campaigns about pensions getting cut. A mere 10 per cent of pensioners, those wealthy people that [Labor leader] Bill Shorten is so concerned about, are affected by the cuts.

Those people have assets (the family home not being included in the calculations) that give them an additional income apart from the pension.

I don’t think any fair minded individual would not think it was appropriate that wealthy people get a smaller pension than those who have not been favoured by life’s circumstances.

But here we have Bill Shorten crying crocodile tears for his wealthy mates and taking the liberty to call our prime minister [Malcolm Turnbull] a sook over this issue.

It’s a shame Bill Shorten hasn’t got the guts to advocate cutting multiple Centrelink payments to Muslim “families”.

As far as those unsolicited phone calls that are being received on one’s answering machine, I intend to lodge a formal complaint with my local member. I really think it is time that we set higher standards for politicians to voice their opinion.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

H. Gamble misplaces his cow Compiled by Cameron McCullough LOST Stolen or Strayed.–Spotted cow, branded HG, on rump, near calving. –H. GAMBLE, Frankston. *** AMONGST the last of casualties published is the name of Pte E. J. Vagg, of Carrum, who is reported as seriously ill. *** OUR readers are reminded of Brody and Mason’s high class Poultry Sale, on Wednesday next.–See advertisement. *** THE dance, held on Scturday night last, in aid of the “Wattles” Club Returned Soldier’s Fund, passed off successfully, and was most enjoyable. *** THE monthly meeting of the Seaford branch of the Red Cross Society was held in the hall on Wednesday after noon.

The usual box was packed and despatched to Headquarters con taining the following articles. 24 large towels, 8 small towels 1 suit pyjamas, 1 scarf, 3 shirts, 6 pr sox, 2 pks cigarettee, cocoa, and 1 tin of condensed milk, £2 4s Gd, was collected for the funds. *** THE Essendon Band Entertainers appear in the Mechanics’ Hall this evening with a first class program of vocal and instrumental music, and on Sunday afternoon they will give an open air concert in the reserve ad joining the tennis court in aid of the local Red Cross Society. *** PARLIAMEMT has recently passed an Act, which enables the mother of an illegitmate child to take action to have it le-

gitimized where the father is absent from Victoria on war service, is physically or mentally in capable of taking action as the result of such service, or is dead.

It is essential that no legal impediment to the marriage should have existed at the time of the birth.

Information in regard to the procdure to be adopted to have a child legitimized may be obtained from the Government Statist, Queen St, Melbourne. *** GENERAL regret was expressed in Frankston on Saturday when it became known that word had been received by the parents of Private Ernie McComb that he had succumbed to an attack of appendicitis followed by pneumonia, in England.

“Ernie” was a general favorite and being a native of Frankston was known by all. He was not a very strong lad and was refused three times before being finally accepted, but he had made up his mind to go and “do his bit” for his country and nothing would stop him.

We sympathise sincerely with his parents in their sad loss. *** WE call particular and special attention to an advertisement in another column announcing that public meetings will shortly be held in Frankston, Somerville and Hastings, to promote the success of the new recruiting campaign this year.

We understand that distinguished speakers will be sent down to each meeting from the headquarters of the central organizing body and that large representative local committees will be

appointed, with a small executive for each, who will keep in touch with the central organization.

Full particulars will be given next week, but we may express a hope that when the dates are fixed every adult in the shire, whether man or woman, who desires to see the victorious termination of the war, will attend one or other of the meetings. *** PLOWING. Wanted about one acre of land plowed–L. FEAR, Kars street, Frankston. *** MR. JAS. TABB, the Champion Glubber and Cutter, wants work.– Address, FRANKSTON P O. *** RIDING ON FOOTPATHS IN FRANKSTON. Notice is given that anyone found riding on the footpaths in Frankston township will be prosecuted.

By order, JOHN E. JONES, Shire Secretary. *** COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA. To the Employers of Australia: your Sons and your Employees have gallanly responded to their Country’s call.

Many of them have already distiguished themselves on the battlefield.

The Employers of Australia can also do part. THEY CAN LEND THEIR MONEY TO THEIR COUNTRY in order to earry the War to a successful issue.

SPHERE PENINSULA SHORT FILM FEST The Sphere Peninsula Short Film Fest is Victoria’s largest public short film screening and will be held for the sixth year running in Rosebud from Friday 3 February to Sunday 5 February 2017.

Promising filmmakers will showcase their work in front of a panel of luminaries who will award individuals in a total of nine film categories including best film, best cinematography, best director and best screenplay.

This year’s judging panel includes, Nicole da Silva (Wentworth, Doctor Doctor), Lachy Hulme (The Matrix, Offspring), Myf Warhurst (Spicks and Specks, Double J), Sigrid Thornton (SeaChange, Wentworth) Gyton Grantley (Underbelly, House Husbands) and Wayne Blair (Director, The Sapphires and Redfern). Shane Jacobson will MC the event.

The festival will attract over 7000 attendees who will roll out their picnic rugs to enjoy 20 short films (up to eight minutes in duration) and live music performances for free, plus dine at an 80-meter food truck alley. Film enthusiasts are also welcome to purchase tickets to feature film screenings at the Rosebud Cinema on the Friday and Sunday.

Founded by actor (and Rosebud local) Steve Bastoni, the festival attracts growing support from Australia’s acclaimed actors including Sam Worthington and Russell Crowe.

Heavyweights flex muscles

PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association Provincial heavyweights Baxter and Peninsula Old Boys flexed their muscles in the first game of the new year on Saturday.

Baxter star Dale Irving snared 3/0 as his side took 4/0 against Long Island to easily win by eight wickets, while Peninsula Old Boys rolled Langwarrin for less than 100 to easily steamroll their fellow top four opponent.

Long Island is just a shadow of its past glory days and they were no match for Baxter.

Batting first after winning the toss, the Islanders scrambled to 8/116 with skipper Aaron Paxton top scoring with 35.

The Islanders were travelling OK at 3/92 before Irving took three of the next four wickets, while Chris Brittain removed Paxton to take the score from 3/92 to 7/92 in a blink of an eye.

Irving ended with 3/23 from 10 overs and Brittain 3/18 from 10 overs.

In reply, Baxter cruised to the total with eight overs remaining, losing just two wickets as Brittain smacked 64 opening the batting, Joe Rule opened with 34 and Daniel Warwick was unbeaten on 21.

In the battle for third place, Peninsula Old Boys had very little trouble against Langwarrin.

Dylan O’Malley went to town on the Kangas bowlers early and made a 54 while his teammate Wade Pelzer at the other end made two of the first 50 runs.

The Old Boys fell in a bit of a hole and lost 5/41, however, Will Crowder with 48 and Jon Forrest with 22 ensured they got to a reasonable total (7/167).

Mal Coutts with 3/25 from 10 overs was the pick of the Kangas bowlers, while Matt Prosser and Matt Campbell picked up two wickets each.

Langwarrin was bowled out with 11 overs remaining in reply. Skipper Travis Campbell with 36 was the only shining light. James LaBrooy with 3/27 was the best of the Old Boys’ bowlers, while Adam Jones and Eivion Bowen snared a couple of wickets each.

Sorrento is well and truly back in the mix after Bobby Wilson starred against Pines.

Wilson picked up 3/29 with the ball

and then hit a game-high unbeaten 81 to steer the Sharks to a very easy victory.

Damien Lawrence top scored for Pines with 58 after it won the toss and batted first. CJ King was also good for Sorrento with 3/28.

In reply, Sorrento hit the winning runs with six overs to spare. Nick Wilcox was the best of the Pines bowlers with 2/33 from eight overs.

Mornington dismantled Crib Point but neither teams’ batting performance was convincing.

Crib Point sent the Doggies into bat and their bowlers did the job, dismissing the visitors for 127.

In reply, the Pies’ batsmen again failed them, all out for just 57.

Somerville took just 24 overs to reel in Moorooduc’s 62 runs.

Aaron Kaddatz took 3/15 from 10 overs and Matty Roach snared 3/17 from 10 as the Ducs were rolled for 62 in 39.3 overs.

Somerville lost three wickets on their way to the winning total.

Pearcedale caused an upset when it beat Mt Eliza.

The Mounties batted first and made an awkward 8/125 with Damien Kent top scoring with 30. Will Kennedy was the best of the Pearcedale bowlers with 3/27.

In reply, Pearcedale was 3/37 and then 6/77 before Max Blackburn took control of the innings and scored an unbeaten 63 to get his side over the line with more than six overs remaining. Lyle House took 3/51 from 9.5 overs for Mt Eliza.

Division tightens up at the top of ladder DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association District competition launched the new year in exciting fashion on Saturday.

With some very important one-day games taking place, where top sides were pitted against those outside of the top bracket, the results could really shape the season.

What the result did do was further tighten up the gap between third place and eighth place.

Wins to Red Hill and Mt Martha further entrenched them into the top bracket, however, losses to Delacombe Park and Flinders really threw

the season wide open again.

Rosebud set Delacombe Park just 140 runs for victory after skipper Billy Quigley hit 50 and Jason Mathers scored 28 in their 40 overs. Andrew Stapleton was the pick of the Parkers’ bowlers with 3/38 from 10 overs.

In reply, Jon Guthrie played a lone hand with 67 as the Parkers’ were bowled out for 124 in the 39th over.

Ricky Ramsdale was the only other bat to score double figures with 20.

Geoff Glaum picked up 3/22 from eight overs while Jason Nagel and Quigley took two wickets each.

Flinders had a big test against Mt Martha and failed, losing by four wickets.

The Sharks were sent into bat after

losing the toss and limped to 105 in 39.1 overs. At one stage the visitors were 6/38. Blake Hogan Keogh regained his early-season form for Flinders with 67, including three sizes.

In reply, Riley Shaw hit 39 for Mt Martha and Kane Hawkins hit 28 as the Reds reached the total in 36.5 overs. Matt Burns was the best of the Flinders’ bowlers with 3/32.

Simon Dart was up to his old tricks for Red Hill again on Saturday, steering his side to victory against Baden Powell with an unbeaten 73.

The Braves batted first and made 154 in 40 overs with Travis Kellerman scoring 36 and Coen Chernishoff 33.

Lincoln Toy bagged 4/23 from seven overs for Red Hill while Glenn Collett

chipped in with 2/30 from 10 overs.

Matthew Merrifield then opened with 43 for the Hillmen, Dart was still there at the end on 73 and Brent Martin contributed 23 to hand the visitors victory with six overs to spare.

Heatherhill was made to work hard against Rye for victory.

Rye made an impressive 161 in 38 overs after winning the toss and batting first with Steven Gale opening with 39 in his first game, Andrew Hitchener scoring 51 and Tom Baron adding 20. Matty Meagher was the stand-out bowler for the Hills with 5/15.

The Hills had no issues getting the 162 needed for victory though, getting them with seven overs to spare. Ste-

ven O’Donnell hit an unbeaten 60 and Christian Heath was not out as they chased the total to finish at 3/163.

Main Ridge got a very important win against Seaford Tigers, chasing down the Tigers’ 6/156 after David James hit 81.

Shaun Foster hit 76 and Travis Barker 41 to get the Ridge away to a flier with a 124-run opening stand. The Ridge finished at 3/160 after 37 overs.

Seaford picked up an important win against Boneo, keeping them from relegation issues.

Boneo batted first and made 119, before Seaford got the runs with just one wicket down in 22.3 overs.

Competition is on the boil SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE MPCA Sub-District competition hotted up even further on Saturday after the round seven one-day matches were played.

It was already a tight competition, however, after the completion of the round, just one game separates third placed Tyabb from second-bottom Carrum Downs.

Hastings and Ballam Park are now as safe as houses in the top four after the top two teams recorded wins against Skye and Balnarring respectively.

Tyabb was the big mover with a win against Dromana.

The Yabbies won the toss and batted first and

made 175 in their 40 overs, losing just five wickets along the way.

Dromana was never in the hunt in the chase, despite 59 runs from skipper Jack Fowler. Dromana was bowled out for just 114.

A bottom order wag helped Skye hit 106 after they were sent in by Hastings.

At one stage Skye was 4/8 before skipper Anthony Craddock (22), Paul Fillipone (29) and Adrian Gallagher (22) put some respectability into the score.

Luke Hewitt finished with 2/22, Mitchell Floyd 3/16 from 10 overs, including seven maidens and Isuru Dias 2/22 for the Blues.

In reply, Hastings was unimpressive, getting the runs needed with just one wicket to spare, thanks largely to Jake Hewitt, who scored an

unbeaten 18 batting at nine. Robbie Hearn top scored with 26. Gallagher was superb for Skye with the ball, taking 4/23.

Brenton Taylor and Nathan Kleinig scored 35 and 37 respectively to help Balnarring to 7/131 against Ballam Park.

However, it was not enough as the Knights replied with 5/135 in 39 overs with skipper Stuart Plunkett once again top scoring with 41. Dave Roach also hit 20 in the victory.

Carrum was it its best, smashing Carrum Downs.

The Lions won the toss and batted first on Saturday with Brett Moulton top scoring with 33, Dylan Steed hitting 31, Campbell Ak 28 and Hayden Moulton 27. They finished on 9/179.

Chris Moloney bowled well for the Cougars, tak-

ing 4/51 from 10 overs.

In reply, the visitors were bowled out for 110 with Jordan Watters top scoring with 33 and David Dervan hitting 30. Troy Hollingsworth picked up 4/25 from 10 overs for the Lions while Lachy Dobson snared 3/19 from eight overs.

In the shock of the round, Frankston YCW belted Tootgarook.

The Stonecats batted first and made a healthy 6/174 with Jason Bedford top scoring with 72 and Levi McLoughin-Dore hitting 35. Todd Harnett picked-up 3/14 for the Frogs.

In reply, Tootgarook was bowled out for just 55 in 28 overs. Tony Abschinski top scored for Tootgarook with 10.

Frankston Pines welcomes Mauritian expats SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie PLAYERS from Italy, Switzerland and England could play crucial roles in Peninsula Strikers’ assault on the State 2 South-East championship.

Italian defensive midfielder Leandro Parrella, 29, and Swiss central defender Raphael Stulz, 23, arrived in Melbourne last week.

The Italian ace has an impressive CV having spent 11 years at Vicenza Calcio in Serie B. He started in the club’s academy squad and eventually served a twoyear apprenticeship before advancing to the senior squad.

Parrella spent two seasons playing with the under 21s and reserves before joining fourth-tier outfit Mezzocorona and helping it win promotion to Serie C. He was signed by Sambonifacese in Serie D and helped it win promotion in his first season.

He had two more seasons with Sambonifacese before joining Domegliara in Serie D. Stulz is a 194cm defender who has spent two and a half years in the US college system where he played with AFC Ann Arbor and Saginaw Valley State University.

He also has been on the books of Swiss club FC Chur and Liechtenstein-based outfits USV Eschen/ Mauren and FC Schaan.

The English signing is 22-year-old attacking midfielder Danny Brooks who has been involved in Tranmere Rovers’ Youth Development Programme for the past two years and is expected to arrive this week.

Brooks has had spells with Prescott

Italian capture: Defensive midfielder Leandro Parrella.

Swiss signing: Central defender Raphael Stulz.

Cables in the Evostik League First Division North and Welsh club Mold Alexandra FC in the Huws Gray Alliance League.

All three players were signed to football agency Soccer Smart Ltd, which holds trials in the UK, Europe and the US for players wanting to play overseas.

Last year’s State 2 South-East champion St Kilda Celtic used Soccer Smart to bring players to Melbourne and recommended the agency to Strikers.

The club told Soccer Smart of its requirements and viewed a dozen videos before settling on the three players it believes were best placed to strengthen the spine of the team.

While the imports are important to the club’s ambitions Strikers senior

coach Craig Lewis won’t stop there in his quest to revamp his squad for 2017.

“We are going for promotion.

There is no question about that,” said Lewis.

“And we are putting the infrastructure in place to support our ambitions.

“We’ve got a good committee and we have people working in the background on some good sponsorships so all being well with the new clubrooms being officially opened next month we will be in a position to be successful.”

Right now Lewis is focusing on signing a quality striker. He has been in talks with his top target but won’t name him out of respect to the player who has yet to commit to the club.

“I can tell you that if we get him we will be very, very happy,” said Lewis.

“We’re also talking to four other players who have played at a higher level and who will bring experience to us and a winning mentality.”

First team keeper Richard Ojo has been released while Irish shot stopper Colin McCormack has been training with Strikers.

He is a former Langwarrin and Skye United keeper who has also attracted the interest of South Springvale gaffer Ari Drakos and Frankston Pines.

Teenage Springvale White Eagles keeper Daniel Shaw also is training at Centenary Park.

Billy Buchanan and Mark Duff will assist Lewis this season and Graham “Winker” Watson again is in charge of the reserves.

Matt Bennett is player liaison manager acting as a go-between for players, coaches and committee.

The club hopes to appoint a manager to oversee fitness programs, injury management, dietary requirements and recovery programs.

In other news Shane Tagliaferro has left Mornington and is being chased by Knox City and Doveton.

Others to have left Dallas Brooks Park are Paul McEvoy, who has trained with Knox and Eastern Lions, and former Oakleigh Cannons star Scott Webster, who may join Doveton while Frankston Pines could lose Matthew Hames and Jordan Avraham to Knox.

Here is Frankston Pines’ pre-season schedule: Friday 3 February v East Brighton at Monterey Reserve, 7pm (seniors);

Sudoku and crossword solutions

Tuesday 7 February v Skye United at Monterey Reserve, 7pm (seniors and reserves); Sunday 12 February v Nth Caulfield at Knox Regional Centre, 3pm and 4.30pm; Tuesday 14 February v Chelsea at Monterey Reserve, 7pm (seniors); Saturday 18 February v Harrisfield Hurricanes at Monterey Reserve, 1pm and 3pm; Saturday 25 February v Keilor Wolves at Monterey Reserve, 1pm and 3pm; Saturday 4 March v Pakenham Utd at IYU Recreation Reserve, 1pm and 3pm; Tuesday 14 March v Ashburton at Monterey Reserve, 7pm (seniors).

Scottish right back Stephen Dick was among a host of newcomers used by Langwarrin in Saturday’s 1-1 draw in a friendly against NPL 2 outfit Eastern Lions at Egan Lee Reserve.

Midfielder Sam Scott is battling osteitis pubis, Caleb Nicholes, Nick Thorogood and John Guthrie were unavailable while Grant Lane was an absentee.

English recruits Connor Belger and Paul Speed arrive in the next fortnight.

There have been changes to Langwarrin’s pre-season schedule. Here is the update: Saturday 21 January v Baxter at Baxter Park, 1pm and 3pm; Tuesday 24 January v Knox City at Egan Lee Reserve, 6pm and 7.30pm; Saturday 4 February v Mazenod at Lawton Park, 1pm and 3pm; Sunday 12 February v Sunbury (Collins Cup) at Lawton Park, 1pm and 3pm; Saturday 18 February v Skye Utd at Lawton Park, 1pm and 3pm; Sunday 26 February v Whittlesea Utd at Lawton Park, 1pm and 3pm.

Scappare aiming for a treble

By Ben Triandafillou UP and coming filly Scappare is looking to go three consecutive wins at Sandown next week after being scratched last Friday night at Cranbourne.

Trainer Matt Laurie scratched the three-year-old after the Cranbourne racetrack was downgraded from a Good 4 to a Heavy 8 due to continued rain.

“If it was a Dead 4, Dead 5 I would be happy to run Scappare but it got into the heavy range” said trainer Matt Laurie.

“These faster horses with a low sprinting action don’t tend to handle those conditions. She’s better suited to a firmer surface.”

Scappare has burst through to win her last couple of starts at Mornington for a combined margin of 4.8 lengths.

Seated comfortably behind the leaders until using her quick turn of foot to dash to the front, Scappare has impressively put a gap between her and the rest of the field in her previous starts.

Scappare is trained at Matt Laurie’s

35 acre Carringbush Park in Moorooduc on the Mornington Pennsula and often uses the Balnarring Beach to assist with recovery.

After having early setbacks in her career due to the ‘thumps’, Scappare has recovered nicely and has started to hit the line strongly.

“When she started she wasn’t going so well and pulled up sore after her first start, but has now gotten over the thumps and has become a true thoroughbred,” said part-owner John Ferguson.

Now holding an impressive record of two wins and a minor placing from five starts, Scappare has taken her earnings to $26,475.

Bred by Anacheva out of Prominent, Scappare has become Anacheva’s top progeny after winning her last start at Mornington over 1000m.

Scappare is set to go through her classes and is hoping for another excellent run next Wednesday at Sandown.

McDonald brothers serve up success

By Ben Triandafillou THE young duo, Alex and John McDonald, have cleaned up in the Frankston Summer Classic taking home both the under- 14s singles and doubles knockout tournaments.

The Frankston Summer Classic on January 2nd run by the Better Tennis coaches was a three day tournament with about 150 entries, 36 of which were in the under-14 division.

Alex was able to triumph in the singles winning five straight matches including a difficult 6-4 3-6 10-5 win in the singles, while John came out on top in the doubles defeating twin brother Alex, 6-3 6-3, with partner Neel Mohan.

“We’ve played a lot of times against each other which is unfortunate but there’s no real rivalry between us, we are pretty good together” says Alex McDonald.

The brothers also won the under-14’s Doubles at the Tennis Australia Gold Series Warrnambool Grasscourt JT & AMT Tournament on 31st December. In the final the pair got up to win against a tough, secondseeded opposition 7-5 6-1.

“It’s good playing doubles. We are going well lately and made a few finals which is good” says Alex.

Then on January 10, the McDonald brothers finished runners-up in the under-14’s doubles at the 2017 Margaret Court Cup in Albury against a strong fifthseeded opposition.

With the support of the Mount Eliza Tennis Club coaches, the pair is determined to develop their skills and improve their game.

“They’re there to learn, they want to get better and pretty much anything you throw their way they’ll give it a try” said Mount Eliza Tennis coach David Laird.

Alex and John are coached twice a week at Mount Eliza by head coach Steve Foot and are assisted by their running coach Nathan Bonney to improve their agility and foot work.

The McDonald brothers are avid to enhance their game often practising in their spare time. John even took it upon himself to only drink water during 2016, when asked how it was; John sarcastically replied, “It was great”.

Alex and John McDonald are now preparing for their next few tournaments, including the North East Junior All Stars Classic in Wangaratta, hoping to keep their impressive start to the year going.

Interstate partnership for Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League

By Ben Triandafillou THE Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League under-16 Boys and Youth Girls interleague teams will be playing the Northern Tasmanian Junior Football Association’s interleague teams in the first annual representative match over the Labour Day weekend in March.

The MPJFL will be visiting Launceston for the beginning of what they hope to be a fantastic partnership with the NTJFA and a significant opportunity for the representative teams.

The signing of an “In Principal” agreement between the two associations allows the MPJFL in conjunction with the NTJFA to conduct an annual representative match beginning in 2017.

This interstate partnership will provide another great experience for the two teams on top of the traditional Regional Interleague matches in June.

“This is a very exciting opportunity for our players to have the chance to play teams from Tasmania. Traditionally, we play the other Regional Interleague teams during the June long weekend, so it will be amazing to give our players another opportunity for representative football” says MPJFL President, Andrew Souter.

“I am sure that with the support of all our MPJFL Clubs we can get this off the ground” The MPJFL and the NTJFA are hoping to utilise University of Tasmania’s stadium for the matches and are just waiting for feedback from management as to whether this is possible.

The MPJFL as well as the NTJFA are seeking sponsors for the event from travel to food to accommodation for 60+ players and chaperones. This would be an exciting partnership opportunity for businesses to come on board.
