‘Right person’ for job needed Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THERE is still no indication of when a municipal monitor will arrive at Frankston Council more than a month after the state government formally voiced concerns about “conduct and proper functioning” at council. The decision to send in a monitor to oversee council meetings was announced by the state government on 9 September. Victorian Local Government Minister at the time, Natalie Hutchins, said the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate had recommended the appointment of a monitor. Inspectorate chief municipal inspector David Wolf said at the time the councils watchdog “has received several recent complaints related to Frankston Council”. The mayor Cr Brian Cunial named himself and council CEO Dennis Hovenden as complainants to the inspectorate. “The CEO and I have spoken with the Minister’s chief of staff and met with the Local Government Inspectorate to raise concerns,” Cr Cunial said in a statement in September. Ms Hutchins was succeeded by Marlene Kairouz in a Labor state government cabinet shuffle days after announcing a government-appointed

monitor would be heading to Frankston. On Friday (13 October), a spokesperson for Ms Kairouz said a monitor has not yet been appointed. “The Minister is considering the best candidate to be appointed monitor at Frankston City Council,” spokesperson Pat Hutchens said. “This is about getting the right person to help restore good governance at the council and it’s a decision that won’t be rushed.” Concerns about “infighting” between councillors were cited by Ms Hutchins, before the cabinet reshuffle, as a reason to appoint a monitor. The monitor, when he or she arrives at Frankston Council, will sit in on council meetings — the meetings involving councillors held in public and behind closed doors — and report back to the Local Government Minister about council’s governance. The Minister can direct council to make governance improvements, stand down individual councillors or decide all elected representatives be stood down and government administrators be brought in to run council operations for an interim period before new council elections. Under the Local Government Act ratepayers ultimately pay the municipal monitor for the time spent at any council. Individual monitors called in to other councils have cost about $1200 each day.

Internet of Things a Frankston first Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A NEW internet network has been rolled out in Frankston in an Australia first launch of a commercial Narrowband Internet of Things. The low power wide area network is not connected to the national broadband network used by households and is a separate network that enables businesses to monitor, send and

receive data from objects that have embedded sensors. The initial launch of the Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) network by Vodafone in Frankston will see businesses such as Metasphere monitor area water usage in real time. Frankston was chosen by Vodafone as a location to launch the NB-IoT network thanks to previous trials with South East Water. The state government-owned water management authority’s head office is

located in Frankston. NB-IoT chips installed on sewerage and rainwater pipes will eventually be used to control waste water flows from properties and identify sewerage faults. Unauthorised entry to manholes will be immediately flagged. The NB-IoT network and technology have been used elsewhere globally to automatically monitor parking times in car park spaces and track when rubbish bins are full.

“Australians will see a huge variety of products, services and applications enabled by NB-IoT over the coming years as more carriers, vendors, utilities and commercial organisations roll out and harness the benefits of this new way of connecting devices,” Vodafone executive general manager of enterprise Stuart Kelly Kelly said. “This will enable society to become smarter and more efficient, massively benefiting the general public as well as businesses. We expect NB-IoT to be a

key driver behind Australia’s move towards becoming a smarter, more connected country.” Businesses are charged for the NBIoT service based on project scope. Vodafone is also working with CCP Technologies Limited with a focus on managing food inventory in commercial fridges at restaurants. The Internet of Things network has also been launched by Vodafone at the telco’s Port Melbourne and Sydney offices before a wider rollout next month.

Education chief is honoured

Schools out for education help

THE head of the Chisholm TAFE Institute has been recognised by the state government for decades of work in the education sector. Chisholm CEO Maria Peters received the Lynne Kosky Memorial Award for Lifetime Achievement at the Victorian Training Awards last Wednesday (11 October). Ms Peters, Chisholm’s CEO since 2010, announced in July she intends to retire at the end of the year. Chisholm TAFE has nine campuses throughout Victoria including Frankston and Rosebud education centres. The Frankston campus is undergoing extensive redevelopment, due to be complete next year, as part of a $75.9 million joint state government and Chisholm project to upgrade the TAFE training centre. Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said Ms Peters, who is also a member of the Frankston Revitalisation Board, has “made an invaluable contribution to our community”. “I’m proud that she has been awarded the Lynne Kosky Memorial Award as it is acknowledgement of the huge positive impact she has made on our community.” When announcing her retirement in July, Ms Peters said a new skills training hub in Frankston is a boost to the area’s economic future. “This will enable Chisholm to forge even stronger links with business and industry and deliver outstanding education, employment and skills opportunities for the Frankston community and surrounds,” she said. In 2014, a report by the Victorian Auditor-General revealed Chisholm defied a statewide trend of financial struggle across the TAFE sector by reporting a $30.6 million net surplus, before operating costs. The Auditor-General praised Chisholm for implementing “effective cost control strategies”. State Training and Skills Minister Gayle Tierney said last week: “The Victorian Training Awards recognise and honour the outstanding achievements of apprentices, trainees and students and the teachers and businesses who work tirelessly to train them.” The Lynne Kosky Memorial Award for Lifetime Achievement is named after the former state education minister who died in 2014 after contracting toxic shock syndrome after breast cancer surgery.

THREE schools are pooling their resources to plan the way ahead for education in Frankston North. Aldercourt Primary School, Mahogany Rise Primary and Monterey Secondary College are seeking community ideas to develop a Frankston North Education Plan in partnership with the state government. A parent and community workshop to investigate ways education participation can be increased, how resilience in young people can be built and strategies to increase aspiration and pride in the Frankston North area will be hosted by the Victorian School Building Authority. The education plan aims to ensure more students stay in school to break the link between disadvantage and poorer outcomes for students. Families can also complete a survey about the Frankston North Education Plan at engage.vic.gov. au/fnep online. n A parent and community workshop will be held at Frankston North Community Centre, 26 Mahogany Avenue, Frankston North on Tuesday 24 October, 6-7.30pm with a drop-in session at 12-4pm on the same day. See schoolbuildings.vic.gov.au or call 1800 896 950 for more details.

Cars damaged

UP to 13 cars had their side windows smashed and valuables stolen in an overnight Langwarrin crime spree that caused thousands of dollars damage. Residents’ cars were hit in Lexton Drive, Melaleua Crescent and Fawn Court at various times between 9pm6am on Thursday morning, and Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, 5-8 October. Detective Acting Sergeant Craig Goudy, of Frankston CIU, said residents were shocked at the extent of the damage and the theft of their valuables which included wallets, mobile phones, cash, bags and tradies’ tools. “People must ensure they take valuables out of their cars and lock their cars overnight,” he said. About 19 cars were broken into in Frankston over the same weekend, which is a big jump in the usual numbers. Detective Goudy said tradies should ensure their toolboxes are secured and no tools are visible in their vehicles. “Tradies could have tools worth $4000-$6000 in their utes and they

are sitting ducks,” he said. So far there are no descriptions of the offenders. “Investigators are still canvassing the numerous areas for any CCTV and witnesses.” Four cars were stolen in Frankston in the same period. Detective Senior Sergeant Paul Busuttil said tradies should note the details of anyone offering them cheap tools. Details should be forwarded to Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Teen bashed, robbed

A 15-YEAR-OLD Frankston youth was savagely beaten in an unprovoked attack on the foreshore near the pier and barbecue area, Wednesday 4 October. The youth was with two female friends when he was set upon by seven older Pacific Islander and African looking teenagers and savagely punched and kicked in the five-minute fracas. He suffered extensive bruising and even a fractured eye socket – and was then forced to hand over his white Nike TN sports shoes, mobile phone, watch and $100 cash. His 15-year-old companion who stood beside him was also attacked and received a black eye. The gang fled over the creek footbridge when police arrived. The injured teen was taken by ambulance to the Frankston Hospital emergency department where he spent six hours being treated. He went home that night but was readmitted for further treatment next day. Police believe the attackers are from the Dandenong area. They are appealing for witnesses to the assault. Anyone with information should call Detective Senior Constable Jasper

Shannon, of Frankston CIU, 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Two arrests in ‘Most Wanted’ hunt

TWO of Frankston’s 10 ‘Most Wanted’ people have been found – and remanded in custody – after publication of their photographs and brief descriptions of them in The Times last week. Laura Jones, 27, and Michael Kennedy, 40, were both wanted on seven outstanding warrants. They will face court at a later date. Detective Senior Constable Kerryn Merrett, of Frankston CIU, said: “significant credible information and strong leads helped us find the wanted pair”. “We are working hard to find the other eight and we are appealing to members of the public for help,” she said. “It is important that those on outstanding warrants make an effort to contact their local police station. It will be better for them to hand themselves in rather than us having to find them.

Ute may offer clue

POLICE investigating a series of wilful and obscene exposures occurring since 2013 in Frankston and surrounding areas have released a picture of the suspect’s work car in the hope he may be identified. The offences, which have been occurring sporadically, took place in Rosebud in March 2013, Frankston in May 2013, Rosebud West and Tootgarook in July 2013, Frankston in May 2016, and Rosebud, Rye and Tootgarook in November 2016. The latest incident was in Frankston last month. Detective Senior Constable Carin Wood, of Frankston police, said that, on each occasion, the suspect exposes himself to women before offering them money to perform lewd acts. Anyone with information is urged to call Detective Wood, 9784 5555, or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

A WHITE Holden Commodore was spotted by police in Heatherhill Rd, Frankston, allegedly driving at speeds of up to 80kph – in reverse. Police in the unmarked car attempted to stop the wayward vehicle in Shaxton Circle using ‘stop-sticks’, 7.32pm, Sunday 8 October, but the driver managed to evade them by “swerving all over” Franciscan Avenue and disappearing from view. Drivers were forced to take evasive action when the car reappeared allegedly driving even more erratically, and Channel 9 news was told a pedestrian quickly picked up his dog as it mounted the footpath. Bystanders said the car was at times airborne. Earlier, Moorabbin police had tried to pull the car over for having false number plates. Police Shaxton Circle called off the chase when they judged pedestrians to be in danger. A 23-year-old Frankston man was later arrested and charged with 19 serious driving offences including dangerous driving, unlicensed driving, reckless conduct endangering persons, driving in a manner dangerous, driving in a manner likely to cause serious injury, failing to stop and evading police. He has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 21 December, with bail conditions including a curfew and a ban on driving.

Bid to revive Holt memorial Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au PROPONENTS of a new memorial for former Prime Minister Harold Holt are hoping for a major commitment from the federal government on 17 December, the 50th anniversary of his disappearance. Mr Holt’s body was never found after he went swimming with friends on that day in 1967 at the restricted Cheviot Beach. The beach was within the then-Portsea Officer Cadet School, and now forms part of the state-run Point Nepean National Park. A small stone memorial with a commemorative plaque sits above the beach while another plaque has been fixed on the underwater reef where Mr Holt was last seen. In 1968, famed architect Robin Boyd sketched a memorial at the suggestion of Holt’s friend, Ross Shelmerdine. Although that design: two 55 metre long by 3.6 metre high walls across Cheviot Beach and running into the water, is now acknowledged as being inappropriate, it could be a “catalyst, or starting point”, programming director of the Robin Boyd Foundation Tony Lee, said. “We’re certainly not proposing walls. That was designed in the 1960s and things have progressed dramatically since then, such as how to protect the natural landscape at Cheviot Beach. “I would hate to think that that [the diverging walls] is what’s being proposed.” Mr Lee said the foundation and Stephen Shelmerdine (Ross Shelmerdine’s son) would see a new architect brought in “with a view to having the memorial on the hill above the beach”. He said talks were ongoing with Parks Victoria and in-principal discussions had been held with Flinders MP Greg Hunt and Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg as well as “the relevant government people”.

“They haven’t given any commitment but have shown a great deal of interest. Josh Frydenberg and Greg Hunt are both keen.” Mr Lee was expecting the politicians to make an announcement at the site of the present unprepossessing Holt memorial on the 50th anniversary of his disappearance. He said there was no cost estimate at this stage, but thought the project was “good for both state and federal governments”. Mr Hunt’s local media advisor Mathew Langdon said on Friday that Mr Hunt’s schedule would not enable him to answer questions about the Harold Holt memorial. (The previous day Mr Hunt, who is also health minister, announced major changes to private health funds.) The sketch of Robin Boyd’s vision for a memorial at Cheviot Beach featured in a 2011 exhibition at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, Expressing the Human Spirit – Boyd’s Peninsula Houses. The sketch was tagged “unbuilt” and markedly stood out from the houses which made up the remainder of the exhibition. The two straight walls – concrete breakwaters – taper towards each other from the beach with a 25 centimetre gap at their apex. The equilateral triangle formed by the walls and the beach would create an enclosure of “safe, calm water”. “The calm water is symbolic of peace; the narrow head which the walls form is symbolic of Australia’s turning outwards, under Mr Holt’s leadership, towards her neighbours,” a paper promoting an updated version of the memorial produced by the Robin Boyd Foundation states. “The proposed memorial was presented to Governor-General Lord Casey and former Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies who were both enthusiastic. “The project proposal did not receive the support of the Prime Minister John Gorton and so it did not proceed.”

Memorial revival: A drawing by the late Robin Boyd of what he saw as a fitting memorial to prime minister Harold Holt who disappeared from Cheviot Beach, near Portsea, on 17 December 1968. The sketch was featured in a photographic exhibition of Boyd-designed Mornington Peninsula houses at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery in 2011.

Get back in the conversation

No backers for Holt anniversary service THERE is little interest being shown from any level of government for a memorial service in December to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the disappearance of then Prime Minister Harold Holt from a beach at Point Nepean. Mr Holt was presumed drowned at Cheviot Beach on 17 December 1967, although his body was never recovered. Neither the federal, state or local governments have agreed to pay for a proposal by the Harold Holt Memorial Committee, auspiced by the Nepean Ratepayers’ Association, for a service at the beach on this year’s anniversary of his disappearance. A recommendation that Mornington Peninsula Shire give $10,000 towards the service was withdrawn from the agenda without debate at last Tuesday’s (10 October) council meeting. Economic development and tourism manager Tania Treasure, in a report to councillors, said the service planned by the ratepayers’ association marked an “important anniversary in Australian history”. “Discussions are currently being held with Harold Holt’s family and other dignitaries regarding their involvement with the service, however nothing has been confirmed,” Ms Treasure said. “Both federal and state governments along with the Liberal Party have also been asked to provide funding for the event.” In a letter to the shire, committee chairman Colin Watson said the disappearance of Mr Holt, Australia’s 17th prime minister (26 January 1966-17 December 1967), was one of the most dramatic events in the country’s political history “and is seared into the memory of many Australians”.

He said it was anticipated the memorial service would be attended by members of Mir Holt’s family and “a host of dignitaries and those who wish to honour his memory”. Mr Watson told The Times on Thursday that the state government had declined to contribute towards the service, but he had not been told about the shire’s refusal. The shire’s chief financial officer Matthew Green said on Friday the request for money for the Holt memorial service “was withdrawn ... as the organising committee withdrew the funding request”. A letter to Mr Watson from Rachel Cowling in the Department of Premier and Cabinet, said “the Premier [Daniel Andrews] would like to thank the Harold Holt Memorial Committee for its hard work and dedication, and wishes it all the best in its future endeavours”. Mr Watson said the service had a $30,000$40,000 budget with up to 200 people expected to attend. Russell Joseph, electorate office manager for Nepean MP Martin Dixon and candidate for the seat at the next election, said he had been “going round in circles” trying to get backing for the service from either the federal or state governments. He said the Liberal party “may have been willing” but had not made any commitment. “I’ll go myself with a mobile phone and make a speech,” Mr Joseph said. “It’s a significant event in Australia’s history, so I might do a service myself, just for the media if no one wants to turn up. I’m gobsmacked. “It costs taxpayers $12,000 an hour to run federal parliament when it’s sitting, so I thought they could have given something.” Keith Platt

Message from the Premier This week is Fire Action Week, a time for all Victorians to begin preparing for the summer ahead. It’s particularly important this year, with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting a long and hot summer.

So please, talk to your family, friends and neighbours about your plans, and make sure you know when to leave and where to go to stay safe. You can also find out more information, monitor warnings and check the daily Fire Danger Ratings at emergency.vic.gov.au. Planning and preparing for fire is everyone’s responsibility. Taking the right steps now could make all the difference.

Thankfully, our dedicated emergency services are working together with communities, businesses, local councils and residents to reduce the risk for our state. At the same time, it’s important that each of us understands our own fire risks. And remember, you don’t need to live in regional Victoria to be in danger. Fires can occur anywhere.

The Hon Daniel Andrews MP Premier of Victoria

FIRE ACTION WEEK THE RIGHT TIME TO PREPARE It’s your responsibility to be ready this summer. Prepare your property, fire plan and emergency kit now. The reasons are black and white.

1. Plan what you’ll do in the event of a fire, talk to your household and know where to access information on high risk days. 2. Keep grass short. Fire can ignite and travel quickly through long grass. 3. Get rid of dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark around your home. 4. Remove or prune shrubs near windows and under branches of mature trees. 5. Cut back overhanging tree branches close to property – no branches within 10 metres. 6. Keep gutters and roof areas clear of leaf litter (if you are physically able to).

AGL’s gas import plans explained AGL Energy’s plans to use a floating gas terminal at Crib Point will be outlined later this month at Port Phillip Conservation Council’s annual general meeting. The power retailer’s community relations manager Jay Gleeson will provide a presentation on AGL’s assessment of options for shipping liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Crib Point from interstate and overseas. The company plans to inject the LNG into a pipeline supplying south-eastern Australia. Crib Point, in Western Port, was chosen for the floating terminal after an assessment sites around Australia (“Crib Point choice for gas terminal” The Times 14/8/17). Mr Gleeson will outline of AGL’s import jetty project and its implications for Western Port Bay and Crib Point. The company’s engageagl.com.au website says it will buy gas “at competitive prices from Australian and international suppliers” which would be brought by ship to Crib Point. The LNG would be transferred to the floating terminal and converted back into gas before being piped into the existing transportation network. “A ship that stores the liquid gas will be moored at the existing jetty at Crib Point. The gas import jetty will be connected by pipeline to an existing gas pipeline – the length of this

pipeline will depend on the route between the jetty and the transmission pipeline,” the website states. “We will also need some plant and equipment for processes such as metering and odourisation to be installed on shore at the jetty. “The use of LNG ships is an efficient way to transport gas, either internationally or from other states in Australia. LNG shipping technology was developed to enable gas to be transported over long distances where pipelines are not economical.” Under its latest power policy the state Liberal Nationals coalition proposes that any “new” gas extracted in Victoria “would stay in Victoria for the benefit of Victorians”.. Port Phillip Baykeeper Neil Blake will also be at the meeting to speak about likely threats to the bay from population growth, urban consolidation and climate change. He will give an update on his Baykeeper citizen science program promoting community stewardship of waterways – including his project recording recent changes to beach profiles and erosion around the bay. The Port Phillip Conservation Council’s annual general meeting will start 7pm 30 October at the Longbeach PLACE-Chelsea Community Centre, 15 Chelsea Rd, Chelsea. Keith Platt

Safety raised for choppers PENINSULA Aero Club has opened a more advanced helipad which will support airborne emergency services on the peninsula. The design caters for larger and more sophisticated helicopters which require safer, more dedicated facilities. It will supply fuel to water bombing aircraft as well as the Police Air Wing and others. “We have seen aircraft become more fuel critical during fire fights over the past few years and this new facility will provide a much needed resource,” club vice-president Jack Vevers said. “The cost is around $400,000, with Mornington Peninsula Shire contributing $100,000 from its emergency services budget. The rest was

raised by Peninsula Aero Club members as well as some from commercial investment.” Police Air Wing Inspector Craig Shepherd said: “This helipad will enhance the emergency services capability on the peninsula and will help save lives and property.” Last year the club raised $220,000 and built a fully equipped medical emergency triage centre and respite area for fire crews. “These and the helipad will allow us to make the most of airborne first responders,” Mr Vevers said. “Because of this the peninsula will be safer and more secure this summer.” Stephen Taylor

Step back in time for look at surfing Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au THE backyard swimming pool is covered in plastic to keep away messy ducks. The wind, swell and tide are not quite right at the beach, but Rod Jones is a satisfied surfer. Better known as Dr Surf to listeners of radio station 3RRR, Jones sits on a creaking, weathered cane chair besides the pool at his Mt Eliza house flipping through old magazines where he identifies waves and recognises surfers. Inside his house there are surfboards in various rooms, they’re perched on the top of book cases, stashed on the floor behind couches, stored in purpose-built racks and decoratively hung on walls. Each board may be made of foam and fibre glass, but they are also filled with memories. “I saw [Craig Elmer] Owl Chapman ride that one in the Surfabout [1974-1991 Sydney-based contest] before I bought it,” Jones says pointing to the yellow and red swallow tail board on top of the bookcase. “He used to make boards to ride when he came out here [from Hawaii] and then sell them to buy a ticket home.” His interest and knowledge about surf culture and its history suits his role as organiser of the third Surf Vintage Day being held next month on the foreshore at Point Leo. An agricultural scientist with Agriculture Resources Victoria, Jones is also a committee member of the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch which stands to benefit from the day. There will be about 30 display stands at the event - which is a sort of non-commercial swap and chat meet - where surfers turn up with their Volkswagen Kombis or woodies and vintage surfboards. The boards evoke memories and surfers - old

and young - without much prompting will talk about who rode a particular board on a particular day on a particular wave. It can be a little bit like memories of a high flying mark at a Grand Final. The mark gets higher as the years get more distant; the waves are often larger in the mind. Clubs and organisations represented on the day include Peninsula Surfriders Club, Maladiction Longboarders Club, the Suicide Savages and Reef Riders. Rip Curl historian Bob Smith will bring the famed bell from the Bells Beach annual contest which will displayed alongside historic photos, surfboards and magazines. The DSA will benefit through stall fees and selling food and merchandise. “It won’t be a huge money spinner, but so many people wanted it to happen,” Jones says of the vintage day, the first for three years. Jones agreed to become 3RRR’s Dr Surf 12 years ago because he felt there was not enough

known about surf culture and its history. He was also concerned at the quality of surf reports printed in daily newspapers. “They were very inaccurate and could be dangerous to people who didn’t really know how to surf. It was also good to have someone actually down at the surf telling it like it was. “My first main point was to focus on surf culture - music, movies, magazines and books. But it became pretty clear early on that many listeners didn’t know anything about surfing. “If you go outside the surf media there’s virtually nothing about surfing in the mainstream media. “So I started to tell [listeners] about surfboard designs and equipment; I do annual wetsuit reviews.” One major benefit of the unpaid Dr Surf job is the access it gives Jones to people in and around the surf industry. He gives them a call and invites them onto the radio or, more

rarely, records an interview. His “memorable” interview subjects have included authors Tim Winton (“we talked about Eyrie and Breath, surfing as a metaphor for writing and the strong sense of place we develop”), William Finnegan (Pulitzer Prize winning book Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life “growing up as surfers and why we are happy our kids don’t surf”), and Phil Jarratt (“put him in front of a microphone and off he goes”.); Tom Wegener (“traditional Hawaiian boards and the Bishop Museum in Hawaii”); surfer Wayne Lynch (“talked about the movie on his life and his strong sense of place with what we called Down South - west of Cape Otway and how this has changed”); and filmmaker Andrew Kidman (“his movies Litmus and Glass Love, his tribute to Morning of the Earth, Spirit of Akasha and his music”). Jones’ “least memorable” interview never actually happened. “It was Bob McTavish, who stood me up to go surfing. Can’t say I blamed him.” Jones gave the Sunday morning slot away for a while last year but is now back on air, albeit with Mornington Peninsula-based protégé Jay Power, who Jones hopes will take over as his successor. Power is a younger surfer who appreciates that surfing can be enjoyable even without riding a wafer thin, narrow thruster (three fins) board. He can often be found on a longboard at Shoreham without a leg rope. Old school, indeed. Even though Jones hopes Power will head the segment, he only plans to “semi retire” and go down the pre-recorded interview track and avoid the Sunday morning drives to 3RRR’s Brunswick studio. Which also means he’ll have more time for weekend surfs. n The Vintage Surf Day, Point Leo foreshore, 10am-4pm Sunday 12 November. Entry $4 a car.

SMALL BUSINESSES SETTING THE TRENDS DESPITE mixed economic conditions due to exchange rate uncertainty, stock market volatility, and some market surprises, business confidence in Australia generally improved over the past 12 months, benefiting commercial and industrial property markets. The findings, released by Nichols Crowder Carrum Downs in their 2016-17 market report, show other factors spurring confidence among investors and property buyers were record low interest rates, a relatively low unemployment rate, and continued growth in the use of self managed super funds to invest in property markets. Demand from small business also increased for smaller warehouse properties to cater to both traditional and digital businesses, a surprising trend that saw almost three-quarters of all Nichols Crowder sales for the 20162017 period relate to buildings under 250 square metres. Michael Crowder, believes recent commercial and industrial property trends will continue over into 2017-2018. “In 2016 and 2017, we saw interest rates remaining low, with demand for smaller warehouses being a key market driver. With interest rates likely to stay close to historically low levels over the next 12 months, and with developers offering smaller and more affordable warehouses, we expect to see more buyers entering the market and securing these types of properties,” Mr Crowder says.

Hackney carriage licence renewals due fowls, eggs, butter, cheese, etc. He is also prepared to supply fresh milk twice daily. *** GENERAL dissatisfaction is being expressed in Somerville at the action of the Postal authorities, in doing away with the 7.33am mail to Melbourne thereby making it impossible to get anything from the city on the day of ordering. The general feeling seems to be that this is a short-sighted policy and instead of putting the town ahead it will be the means of retarding its progress considerably. Representations should at once be made to the Postmaster General pointing out that the small amount of saving made is altogether inadequate to the inconvenience and loss experienced by the tradespeople at Somerville. *** FRANKSTON Court of Petty Sessions. Monday 8th Oct 1917. (Before Messrs Cohen, P.M., Williams, Oates, Grant, McLean and Borroughs J’s P. Constable Ryan charged a weekender with behaving in an offensive manner at the Frankston Railway Station on the previous Sunday. Evidence was adduced that the defendant, when asked for his ticket by a porter at the station he used insulting words and otherwise misconducted himself. The defendant pleaded that he had been the worse for drink and did not know what he was doing, and expressed sorrow for the occurrence. The bench decided to deal leniently with the accused, and after administering a severe rebuke made a fine of 10s

which was paid. Jesse Steele was charge by the police with being in unlawful possesion of a stump jack. From the evidence brought out it appears the jack in question was claimed by J. Murray, of Langwarrin, who lost it in 1914. Steele was in the habit of borrowing the implement. On the 24th of May 1914 it was lying on the road where he had been working with it, and two days afterwards it was gone. Defendant used to pass along the road where the jack was lying while going to and from his work. On the 1st of August last the complainant, in company with Const. Ryan, went to Lloyd’s place and saw the jack there on a private road near by and identified it as his property. Had never given or sold it to anyone. He had a conversation with defendant on 2nd August, said he had gone to Trafalgar to see his father, who while there, gave him the jack, but if he (Murray) thought it was his property he had better take it. Defendant and his son swore that the jack was the former’s property but the Bench decided that the weight of evidence was in favor of complainant and made an order for £5 1s with costs. The defendant gave notice of appeal. Monday 15th October 1917. Before Messrs Sherlock and Oates J’sP. Const. Ryan v A Ryan. Failing to cause Laurence Ryan to attend school required number of days - Fine 2s 6d. M. Parker for two similar offences was fined 2s 6d in each case. W A. Towler, auctioneer, applied for

in travelling to different places round about Cairo, and seeing things of great interest. I was unable to get to Anzac and so far have been unable to go to France through being under age. I am now with a Battalion, but still there is doubt as to whether I will be going out there with them, for I am still under age for a few months yet. I then expect to get there. Since I have been in England I have again met Bill Clements and also Les. Gunther. Both are looking well and playing in bands. I was then stationed at Buford Military Hospital, but have at last been able to get a change and more interesting work. I have been stationed in England for the last twelve months and have been on leave several times. Once to Manchester, where I landed through getting in the wrong train when I should have gone to Sheffield, but for all that I had a good time visiting the Munition Works and being taken to a Garden Fete at Theatre Park and when on leave to London I visited the British Museum Art Gallery and Buckingham Palace. They are very interesting to see. I was one of the thousands the King reviewed a few months back, on Salisbury Plain. Well Sir, I think I have told you all the news as near as possible in brief, so I now close, trusting the Frankston friends are all well.

an order to eject his tenant, T. Reeves, from premises known as The Grange, at Frankston. Mr Fitchett appeared for complainant and defendant was represented by Mr Cook. Richard Taylor, a clerk employed by complainant, gave evidence that he served the notice of proceedings on Mrs Reeves and read the notice to her. Mr Cook raised the technical objection that Taylor had not explained the meaning of the notice as required by the Act and asked for a dismissal on this ground. Mr Fitchett contended that the notice, on being read, explained itself. After lengthy argument by counsel, the Bench upheld the technical point raised by Mr Cook and dismissed the application. *** ECHOES from the Front.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Long and the Shorts of it By Stuart McCullough IT’S here at last. For a moment there, I thought the world was so much in the grip of ‘Game of Thrones’ that winter was not so much coming as it was moving in permanently, taking up residence on the couch like an unwanted backpacker, determined to stay as long as possible and eat all the good cereal. But despite all signs to the contrary, it turns out winter is not eternal after all. Spring has arrived and springs, if not eternal then belatedly. Hooray. There’s definitely a shift in mood. For months on end, weekend walks to the local oval see us encounter people hugging boundary line fences, hands in their coat pockets, cheering on their son or daughter. Suddenly, we’re in that twilight zone between the end of the football season and the start of cricket. The oval is completely abandoned. It can’t be denied - spring has arrived and, once more, I must face the fashion conundrum that is ‘shorts’. Secretly, I think I fear shorts. They simply don’t offer the kind of security you get from a really good pair of pants. And if shorts sound like an odd thing to be afraid of, I can only point out that I grew up in the seventies and have experienced, first hand, the best and worst that the world of shorts has to offer. Be they long, short, loose or horrifyingly snug; I’ve seen and worn them all. As a decade, the seventies have a lot to answer for. Flares, stagflation and the musical abomination that was Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony’s demonic earworm ‘The Hustle’. (Apologies if by mere reference

to ‘The Hustle’ that little flute line is now stuck in your head for the rest of the day.) Those of us who grew up in that era were exposed to the full horror. My first shorts would have been remarkable for two reasons – the white piping around the edges and that highthigh split. To think of those shorts,

even now, makes me feel slightly exposed. My father was a big fan of the formal short. That’s the pair of short pants you can safely wear to work or church and not feel underdressed. Unlike most pairs of shorts, these could form part of a summer suit. His preferred

shorts were baby blue and came with a white belt. Naturally, he wore them with long socks. It is unfathomable to me that people once wore them in an office environment, but I can even recall teachers donning shorts in the classroom. How things have changed. As I grew older, wearing shorts was something largely synonymous with going to school. In a very real sense, these were my own formal shorts and I even wore them with long socks. For crying out loud, I even had little strips of elastic that I used to keep my socks up. Ideally, these homemade garters would be tight enough to keep your socks up but not cut off the circulation to the lower part of your leg. I couldn’t tell you the last time I required a pair of garters. We didn’t wear shorts all year, just the warmer months. And there was always a point at which you had to decide whether to make the switch from long pants to short. Almost inevitably, the first day felt like a day too soon but, before long, trousers were forgotten until next year, when they’d be retrieved and you’d discover you’d grown about six inches and were no longer any use. The other key pair of shorts was the footy short. These, almost without exception, were far too tight. I was the kind of kid that only wore footy shorts when playing footy. Others, however, considered them their ‘go to’ shorts, fit for almost any occasion other than a court appearance. Those kids were cooler. Heading to the Milk Bar with my parents, local youths in footy shorts lingered outside, lean-

ing against their dragsters. My shorts probably said ‘Hang Ten’ on them and I wished I was invisible. Those kids had a kind of freedom I could only imagine. James Taylor once said he’d seen fire and he’d seen rain. I, however, have seen acid wash denim shorts of a kind that defy description and, to this day, terrify my imagination. At a certain point, fashion required that shorts become a lot less short, to the point that they kind of became pointless. I’m talking about the long pair of shorts that reaches well beyond the knees where the line between a long pair of shorts and a short pair of long pants becomes painfully blurred. As I recall it, these shorts covered the knees extremely well but often failed to cover ‘the tradesman’s smile’ when bending over. It is hard to imagine a more extreme design flaw. Don’t get me wrong – it’s not just history that makes me reluctant. It’s also a safety thing. I have (quite frankly) a spectacular set of pins. But they are incredibly pale. By ‘pale’ I don’t simply mean lacking a tan, I mean north-of-the-wall, white walker pale. Albino pale. Avert your eyes lest the brightness might damage your retina kind of pale. So whilst I’m as happy as anyone to see that the longest of winters is now finally over, forgive me if I stick to long pants. The world has suffered enough. And that, I feel, is the long and the shorts of it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Peninsula Old Boys off to a flyer PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully PENINSULA Old Boys and Mt Eliza are the only undefeated teams in MPCA Provincial and stand alone at the top of the ladder. At the other end, Crib Point and Pearcedale remain the only teams without a victory in the opening two games of the season. POB has started its season in dominant fashion, belting Crib Point by nine

wickets in the season’s second straight one-day fixture. The Magpies batted first on their home deck and failed to make it to the end of its allotted 40 overs, bowled out in the 38th for just 103. Jon Forrest was at his vintage best, snaring 3/13 from eight overs, while Eivion Bowen, Tom Shayler and James LaBrooy all finished with two wickets. Neil Clark top scored for the Pies with 27. In reply, devastating POB opening

batsman Dylan O’Malley treated the Pies’ bowlers with contempt, blasting an unbeaten 71, which included nine boundaries and four sixes, as the vistitors hit the total in 13.2 overs. Mt Eliza also picked up its second straight win, beating Sorrento at Emil Madsden Reserve. The home team batted first and made 9/160 from its 40 overs, Keith Biggs top scoring with 42, while Chathupama Gunasinghe broke his Australian drought, claiming 3/45 for the Sorras.

In reply, Justin Grant stepped up to the plate with the ball for the Mounties, claiming 3/22 as his side rolled Sorrento for 147 in 37.2 overs. Corey Harris top scored for the visitors with 36. Langwarrin beat Pearcedale to claim the Bushman’s Cup, winning by 13 runs. Andy Johnson was the difference between the sides, opening with 89 for the Kangas, while Kaine Smith claimed 5/25 for the Dales. Pearcedale was then bowled out for

162, Matt Campbell picking up 3/28 and Jake Prosser 3/51. Mornington picked up its first win of the season, beating Baxter with three overs to spare. Chris Brittain was claimed by Cameron Moon for six after scoring 100 in round one. Joe Rule top scored for Baxter with 44. Mornington skipper Sam Weise then top scored as the Dogs cruised to the total five wickets down.

Jewell came to the crease with the score at 1/31 and put on 131 with Shaun Foster, who eased into the season with a lazy 86 runs in his first hit for the year. When Jewell left the field with Gareth Wyatt (32no), his side had scored a massive 3/302. The Ridge bowlers then got to work and rolled the Ducs for just 109 with Foster claiming 3/11, Oliver McEnroe 3/24 and James Abbott 3/20. Long Island made light work of Delacombe Park, chasing down victory with nine wickets in hand. Stuart Swift picked up 3/20 for the Islanders and James Paxton and Andrew Tweddle each claimed 2/19, as the Parkers were bowled out for 135. Aaron Paxton then scored 61 and Ed Pubudu an unbeaten 36 as the Islanders reached the total three wickets down. Somerville made it two wins from

two matches, smashing Pines with ease. In a match that belonged to the bowlers, Somerville’s boom recruit Jayde Herrick took 5/23 as his side defended its 10/128, bowling out the Piners for 114. Pines opener Damien Lawrence and Somerville’s Nick Marshall top scored for the day with 48 runs each. Red Hill picked up its first win of the season, holding off Flinders to win by 17 runs. The Hillmen batted first at BA Cairns Reserve and it was skipper Simon Dart who top scored with 73, while Matt Merifield hit 38 and Tim Collett 36 from 39 deliveries. Matt Burns was the pick of the Sharks’ bowlers with 2/22 and Flinders skipper Neil Barfuss claimed 2/47. In reply, Flinders just couldn’t get their noses in front in the chase. Despite batting the 40 overs, the home side fell short, restricted to 8/171 with Blake Hogan-Keogh top scoring with 48 and Mason Mail hitting 41. Jimmy McCall claimed 2/26 for Red Hill with the ball, Glenn Collett snared 2/39 and Tom Collett bowled his eight overs for a return of 1/20.

Demons show fight against Heatherhill DISTRICT

By IT Gully IT’S been a long time between wins but Rye celebrated one very hard on Saturday night after chasing down Heatherhill with one over to space in MPCA District cricket. The Demons let themselves down with an extremely poor performance in round one, however, they were superb with the bat on Saturday. Heatherhill batted first and made a very healthy 6/215 with Sam Mullavey opening with 75, Steven O’Donnell batting with him at the top of the order scoring 43 and Kristian Miller hitting 41. The Demons used seven bowlers, Zac Stevenson the best of them with 2/28. Rye skipper Matt Whelan then led his side to victory, scoring 66, while Tim Symons belted seven fours and six sixes in his unbeaten 69. The visitors looked shaky as wickets began to fall quickly, however

PAGE 26

Cam Dunn’s nine to stay with Symons led the team to victory. Seaford Tigers made light work of Hastings, inflicting the Blues’ second hiding in as many weeks. The Tigers batted first after being sent in and made 6/228, before rolling the Blues for just 86. Mitch Floyd (32) and Isuru Dias (13) were the only Blues batsmen to score runs in the double figures. Baden Powell’s Rhys Elmi top scored with 55 as his side beat Rosebud and became the only unbeaten side after two rounds. The Braves didn’t appear to have done enough after scoring just 9/134 after winning the toss and batting. Jason Nagel picked up 2/25 for the Buds and Nathan O’Sullivan claimed 2/21. The Braves did step up to the plate with the ball though, rolling Rosebud for 104 in 38 overs. Jason Mathers top scored for the Buds with 32 and skipper Billy scored 31.

Frankston Times 16 October 2017

Michael Ballard was the pick of the bowlers for the Braves with 3/14 from 6.4 overs, while Elmi capped off a great game with 2/16. Mt Martha picked up its first win with a strong performance against Seaford. The Reds batted first and Jarred Wolsgrove top scored with 50 while Matthew Pollock hit 43 and keeper Rob Dillon 28. Faisal Payenda was the best of Seaford’s bowlers with 3/26. While Dean Polson hit 50 for Seaford, it wasn’t enough, the home side bowled out in 30 overs. Kyle Bendle was the best of Mt Martha’s bowlers with 4/16 from seven overs.

Saints start The Dolphins get their man with two wins VFL By IT Gully BALNARRING sits at the top of the MPCA Sub District ladder after recording its second win of the season on Saturday against Tyabb. Boneo and Ballam Park are also unbeaten after two rounds, winning their matches against Dromana and Carrum respectively. The Saints made light work of Tyabb on Saturday, smashing them by more than 100 runs. The visitors batted first and made 5/183, Nathan Kleinig opening with 72, while Mark Walles and skipper Mal Coutts each hit 32. In reply, the Yabbies started alright but lost 9/39 to be bowled out for 89. Ben King was superb for the Saints with 5/17 from eight overs while Coutts snared 3/14 from six overs. Dromana was put to the sword by Boneo, losing by seven wickets. The Hoppers batted first and made just 114 in 40 overs, Kierran Voelkl top scoring with 34 and Ben Bradley-Bridge hitting 33. Chris Jobling, skipper Leigh Janssen, Ryan Jellie and Cam Williams all picked up two wickets each for Boneo. With the bat, the Pandas dominated, hitting the winning runs with 11 overs and seven wickets to spare. Jack Beale top scored with 52, including 10 fours. Ballam Park had to fight hard against Carrum but got the result they were

looking for. Carrum batted first on its own deck and made 9/179, Corey Hand top scoring with 56. In reply, the Knights scored the winning runs in the final over. Justin Moore top scored for the Knights with 54 and Stuart Plunkett hit 52, while Steve Worthington opened with 36. Carrum Downs beat Skye in a close one. Adam Mikkelsen blasted an unbeaten 81 for the Cougars and skipper Ryan Lynch hit 65 to help their team to 8/185. Skye had a crack in the chase but things were made difficult after they lost both openers for a duck. Skipper Anthony Craddock top scored with 42, Darcy Merlo hit 37 and Scott Hudson 33, however, the home side was bowled out for 166. Frankston YCW got the chocolates against Tootgarook. The Frogs batted first and were bowled out for 127 in 38 overs, Nathan Swift making a name for himself, snaring 5/26 for the Stonecats. In reply, the Stonecats made tough work of it but got the winning runs in the final over, scoring 9/130. Joe Gotts top scored with 39 and Matt Black and Callum Bradford-Briggs each scored 25 runs in the win. Jacob Long was the pick of the Tootgarook bowlers with 3/21.

Strikers swamped by O’Dell tsunami SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LOCAL soccer will never quite be the same after Peninsula Strikers announced last week that it had appointed a human tsunami called Andy O’Dell as senior coach. There has been much speculation as to the fall-out from Strikers’ relegation from State 2 South-East this year but re-elected president Trevor Johnston and his committee, which includes former coach Craig Lewis, have made a clear and unambiguous statement of intent. Ex-English pro O’Dell is renowned for his forthright views and scant regard of political correctness and he didn’t waste time in offering a blunt assessment of what needs to be done to revive Strikers’ fortunes. “I’ve spoken to a couple of players there already and the rest can pack their bags,” said O’Dell. Even the club president was unable to escape the blunt O’Dell approach. “As soon as he appointed me I retired him. I told him there’s no room in my squad for 40-year-olds.” And the shocks kept coming. “I’ve got four lads from the UK that are coming to Strikers and I’ve already got 10 local players keen to come down here,” said the man who guided Altona City to this year’s State 2 North-West championship and the Victorian State 2 title. “Wait till you see some of the names that are coming. You’ll be surprised.” Aron Wilford is one of those names. The big English central defender is now 35 and he’s played with Southern Stars, Dandenong Thunder, Bentleigh Greens, Oakleigh Cannons and St Kilda. Wilford will hold a meeting with Strikers tonight (Monday) with a view to signing on as assistant playercoach. “The four boys from overseas know what’s expected of them. “This is the deal – play with us for a year and get us promoted and if you want to stay that’s okay but if you want to move that’s okay too. “They’re paying their own airfares over here so basically we’ve got to get them a job and sort out their accommodation. “They’re all under 24 and they’re dead keen to come over.” O’Dell can lay claim to being the winningest coach in Victorian soccer. Eleven promotions in 18 seasons speaks for itself. He had 10 years as a professional player in England. He was with local club Hull City as a junior then joined

Grimsby as an apprentice and made his senior debut as an 18-year-old midfielder against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. O’Dell was in the 30-man England squad preparing to come to Australia for the World Youth Cup Finals in 1981 but when that squad was pruned to 20 he missed out on selection. He also has a vivid memory of the first time he came face to face with Scottish and Derby legend Archie Gemmill at the old Baseball Ground in Derby. “Our manager told me to stick close to Gemmill but to be honest the closest I got to him was in the bar after the game. He was magnificent, easily the best player I ever played against.” O’Dell also played with Rotherham, Torquay and Darlington before coming to Australia for the 1988 season and ironically it was the man who he has replaced at Strikers, Willie Raynes, who contacted him about coming here. O’Dell, Raynes and Phil Stubbins were mainstays in the Terry Hennessey-led Heidelberg United side which won the 1988 State League championship.

O’Dell also played for Fawkner, Morwell Falcons, Perth Croatia, Croydon and Mitcham. His coaching resumé lists stints at Mitcham, Chelsea Hajduk, Whittlesea Stallions, Richmond, Northcote, North Coburg, Dandenong Thunder, Sunshine George Cross, Bentleigh Greens, Fawkner, Preston Lions, Cairnlea and, of course, Altona City. He joined Altona City in 2016 after the club had played seven games and lost five. O’Dell brought in new players and the club was undefeated for the remainder of the season just missing out on promotion. Getting the club into State 1 was his goal in 2017 and he did it in style winning the championship with a three-point margin over Hopper’s Crossing and recording a 4-2 victory over Eltham Redbacks in the state final. “I felt that I’d taken the club as far as I could and I sat down with them and explained my point of view so there was no animosity when I left.” O’Dell was immediately in demand with two NPL2 clubs offering him the senior coaching position.

“I knocked back both of them. One of them hadn’t even sacked the coach! “I came down to Strikers to meet with Trevor. It had been a long time since I’d been down to the ground and when I looked at the set-up I just thought to myself ‘I like it here. It’s nice’. “I’m not going to mess about. I’ve come here to get promoted and my plan is to get this club into division one. “There’s going to be a massive revamp of the squad and when we start pre-season training it’s going to be full-on. “There will be players coming, players going, players getting upset but it’s full steam ahead no matter what.” Pre-season training starts in earnest on Tuesday 9 January. There will be another training session two nights later then O’Dell has scheduled three sessions a week for the next 10 weeks with training on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. “This club has everything, apart from the team. “When coaches go to clubs if they

don’t bring players with them they usually end up struggling. “I live fairly central (in Sandringham) and I know lots of players in fact I’ve probably spoken to about 40 players since taking this job. “I think I can get this club back on the map and I think that’s important for the game down this way. “I want to have a good working relationship with Gus (Macleod) at Langwarrin and ‘Jamo’ (Adam Jamieson) at Mornington especially with regard to the movement of players. “The people that know me know how much I like winning and I want to bring the good times back to this club.” Meanwhile NPL giant Oakleigh Cannons announced last weekend that it had won the race for the signature of Mornington ace Ryan Paczkowski. “Oakleigh seemed like the right fit for me as I’ll play as the number 9 and I also liked their ambitions,” said Paczkowski. “Thankfully Mornington understands my decision. “I’m sad to be leaving. I love the club and if we had gone up I would have stayed but I’d like to play at the top while I’m still able to.” It’s believed that the ex-Bentleigh Greens star attracted offers from his former club along with bids from Bulleen, Northcote City and Dandenong City. Paczkowski leaves Dallas Brooks Park as State 1 South-East’s Golden Boot winner. FFV finally released its 2017 State Leagues best and fairest votes and Golden Boot winners last week. The hold-up was due to outstanding referees’ votes albeit that the league season ended in early September. Rosebud Heart star David Greening added the 2017 best and fairest award to his Golden Boot honour in State 4 South. That’s his third league best and fairest award. He topped the voting a few seasons back but was ineligible due to suspension. In other news Southern United is on the lookout for a new technical director after the resignation of Mark Cassar. The women’s NPL club also has called for expressions of interest in the senior coaching post and the position of youth team coach. Applications close this Wednesday 18 October and applicants should email the club at southernunitedfc@ gmail.com.

New and improved sports facilities in Rosebud By Ben Triandafillou MEMBERS of the Rosebud sporting community can look forward to a new sporting pavilion complex at Olympic Park Recreation Reserve, Rosebud. Council approved the tender for works on Tuesday 10 October and it is anticipated that construction will begin in January 2018 with hopes for it to be completed by September next year. The new single level pavilion has been designed to better meet the needs of local sporting groups and will include: six multipurpose change

rooms, unisex toilet and shower facilities, store rooms, a first aid room, accessible toilets and external public toilets. Contract works also include refurbishment of the existing social room office and toilets, a new scoring box, external landscaping, sealed vehicle parking (20 spaces), pedestrian paths and upgrading of utility services to the site. These works will be carried out as part of the council’s Sports Pavilion Strategy which requires facilities to meet current and future needs of the community and sporting clubs.

To minimise disruption to users and local sporting competitions, the existing sports pavilion social room will remain in operation for the duration of the building works. Portable change rooms, showers and toilets will also be provided to accommodate the clubs during competition times. The new building will feature sustainable design with durable materials and low energy lighting. Windows will be orientated for natural lighting and ventilation rather than using mechanical heating and cooling. Water savings will be achieved using water efficient taps and cisterns along with Tough players: 16-year-old Box Hill rugby player Thomas Klein competes at the Victorian Wheelchair Rugby Classic.

Wheelchair rugby kicks off Frankston festival RIO 2016 Paralympic gold medallist’s opened this year’s Frankston Festival of Rugby with the intense, end-to-end Victorian Wheelchair Rugby Classic. For the first time in the Frankston Festival’s history, the Victorian Wheelchair Rugby Classic was played at the Frankston Basketball Centre, Seaford on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 October. With Australia currently ranked world number one in wheelchair rugby, the full contact sport attracted four Victorian teams as well as a New South Wales side. Disability Sport and Recreation wheelchair rugby officer, Jason Lees,

said the event gained great support and was highly competitive. “The event went really well and the team from NSW were really supportive of it and want to come back next year,” Lees said. “The Victorian Rugby Union has gotten behind us as well as the Frankston City Council to continue to run this event. “We want to make this something that grows and have it bigger and better next year to show what the sport is about. “We were really happy to put this event on in Frankston, and hopefully in the future more people will get out

and see the sport for what it is and enjoy it.” In the final, the Harlequins Rugby Club defeated the Unicorns 27-22, with Harlequins player, Matt Lewis, awarded most valuable player of the tournament. The Wheelchair Rugby Classic was contested by both males and females and didn’t have an age restriction. “The youngest player we probably had there was a 16-year-old Box Hill player, Thomas Klein. He’s been playing for 12 months and is still in high school,” Lees said. “If you’re good enough to play then you’ll get selected.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor councillor Bev Colomb said the shire is committed to improving the quality of our sporting pavilions for all. “It will be great to see the facilities revamped to improve conditions and meet current standards for unisex use”. Seawinds Ward councillor Antonella Celi said, “The Seawinds Ward Councillors have worked with Shire Officers and key stakeholders from Rosebud Senior and Junior Football, Cricket and Netball Clubs to ensure the best possible outcome for our

community”. Councillor Simon Brooks from the Seawinds Ward added, “Traction on these works is great news for our thriving sporting groups. Temporary portable change rooms have been in place for several years and it’s time for an upgrade”. Fellow Seawinds councillor Frank Martin concluded, “The Rosebud Football, Cricket and Netball Clubs have seen significant recent growth in female participation. These enhancements will help continue that trend and improve conditions for existing players”.

Basketballers take a shot at Southern Cross Challenge By Ben Triandafillou FRANKSTON and the Mornington Peninsula will have 15 junior basketballers competing in next year’s Southern Cross Challenge held at the State Basketball Centre, Wantirna South. Chosen from a series of selection camps across the year, the players will gain an insight into elite development and higher-level gameplay across the four-day tournament which begins Friday 19 January 2018. The Frankston Blues will have four representatives competing in the Victorian Metropolitan divisions with Lachlan Dines, Kynan Philippe and Gabriel Gallego in the under-14 boys and Mackenzie Mitchell in the under-14 girls. Frankston Blues chairman, Chris Beattie, said it’s a credit to the program that the kids are achieving these lofty goals and joining these teams. “They are some of our brightest talent and we will continue to support them to help them achieve their potential in their chosen sport,” he said. The Blues players will be joined by two Mornington Breakers players with Zoe Harvey joining the under-14 girls and Mia Newman joining the under-15 girls. Mornington Basketball operations manager, Sam Browne, said that the club is very excited to have the girls competing at the tournament. “Both girls have shown a great deal of commitment and have been stand out players throughout the season,” she said. “We are very excited about the prospects of all of our girls coming through our program.” The Southern Peninsula Sharks will

also have nine representatives at the tournament competing in the Victoria Country divisions. The Sharks representatives are Steve Ranisavljev and Billy Wilson in the under-14 boys; Jasmine Amendola, Chantelle James and Rebecca Rylance in the under-14 girls; Benjamin Fisher and Darcy Jones in the under-15 boys, and Bella Breen and Amber Grant in the under-15 girls. Basketball Victoria’s high performance coach metropolitan, Michael Czepil, said this year’s selected groups for Victoria Metropolitan will continue to showcase the elite talent playing at metropolitan associations. “The Southern Cross Challenge is a great opportunity for our budding athletes to compete against some of the best basketball talent from around the country,” Czepil said. “A number of elite Victorian Metro representatives have used the SCC as a major part of their basketball pathway and we expect nothing different from this group of athletes.” Basketball Victoria’s high performance coach country, Justin Schueller said the country contingent – selected for their tryouts at Shepparton – will set up their elite basketball journeys in tandem with the National Intense Training Program selections. “SCC is an important step for our elite country athletes as they progress further into the country high performance pathway,” Schueller said. “Selection into SCC from Country Victoria is an amazing achievement and coupled with NITP, it showcases our best juniors and gives them an opportunity to become better players and people on and off the court.”

King crowned elite women’s champion at Enduro THE Mornington Peninsula born girls dominated the elite women’s category of this year’s Red Hill Gravity Enduro which was held on Saturday 7-8 October. With some top performances on the Arthurs Seat track, Jenni King (1st), Ellie Wale (2nd) and Kathryn Visser (5th) filled three of the five podium positions at the Red Hill Gravity Enduro. For King, it was a return to both her home town and mountain bike racing after a year away from the sport. “I had a few nerves leading into the Red Hill Gravity Enduro,” King said. “However, I pretty quickly relaxed, enjoyed the trails and was lucky to have a great bunch of girls

to ride, and enjoy the amazing views, with. “The trails that made up the six race stages were some of the best I’ve ever ridden and I had such a fun time pushing my limits down them. To finish up on top of the podium was a bonus to cap off a great day out.” No longer racing competitively, King returned for this one off event to support her new local club of the Red Hill Mountain Bike Riders. “I’ve only just joined the club because they’re so proactive and doing a lot of things for the sport,” she said. “It was a big event for the peninsula so I wanted to be a part of it. “I just treated it as a really good day out. I was obviously racing hard

but still wanted to enjoy it. “It was a lot less stressful and turned out to be a really good day. Having previously competed as a triathlete, King was inspired by mountain biking at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and decided to try her hand at another competitive sport. “I just kept getting injured running in the triathlons so I went out and bought a bike and tried it out,” she said. “Although I’ve stopped riding competitively I still enjoy riding and keeping fit. “It was a combination of factors which stopped me riding competitively. I had some bad injuries and my hip joint still isn’t the same and I had become tired of training to stay

at the elite level. “It was good and it was fun to be at the top level competing. There are always nice people involved which is part of the reason why I do the sport, but there is a lot of hard-work that you need to put in and don’t get paid for and it takes a lot of time out of your day. King hasn’t left the industry entirely and now coach’s mountain biker riders through her business, Pedal Lab. “The girl that came in second I actually used to coach when she was racing cross country, she said. “She’s a very talented young downhiller.” “I hadn’t met the girl that finished in third until the event but she was a really nice young girl and has a really bright future.”
