Audit into Green Wedge action delay Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE process undertaken to act on changes to Frankston’s Green Wedge management plan has been referred to an audit for review. On 14 October last year, Frankston councillors voted to reject a proposal to open up Green Wedge land in Carrum Downs to allow for the expansion of the industrial estate. More than three months later, a new motion was brought before council seeking to reverse that decision. Although the renewed push to open up Green Wedge land failed, councillors at the meeting expressed concern that their previous resolution to authorise council officers to write to the planning minister about the green wedge management plan had not been acted on. Last week, a council statement acknowledged that there had been a “failure to enact the implementation of council’s October 2019 Green Wedge resolution in a timely manner”. The statement read that “an error in the process for making the short stay accommodation local law” had also occurred. Council CEO Phil Cantillon said that “to address councillors’ concerns, and ensure good governance and transparency, these matters will be referred to the audit and risk committee for full

review and oversight.” “Councillors and the executive team are working to develop a robust approach to improving transparency and accountability across the organisation, to ensure we are achieving not just good, but exceptional governance outcomes,” Mr Cantillon said. Frankston’s audit and risk committee comprises six members, with three being councillors. Cr Colin Hampton, who was behind the recent motion to reconsider opening up the Green Wedge, is a member of that committee. In December, state government appointed monitor Prue Digby handed down her report into Frankston Council’s governance. “Following Ms Digby’s report, council is required to provide a written submission to the minister for local government outlining its commitment and actions taken to address the monitor’s recommendations listed in the report, of which the need to strengthen governance is one,” Mr Cantillon said. Cr Quinn McCormack was among the councillors who shared their concerns about council’s processes at their 28 January meeting. “How can we have confidence in our governance if one councillor can hold up a resolution for three months,” she asked (“Industrial expansion rejected again”, The Times, 3/2/2020).

Ambassador arrests spike Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au POLICE have made 20 arrests at the notorious Ambassador Hotel since December last year. Police operation “Diplomat” has been running at the hotel for just over two months. In the week ending 9 February, five arrests were made at the apartment complex. One of those arrests was made on 6 February when police charged a 31-year-old Frankston man who allegedly drove a stolen car towards detectives, forcing them to take evasive action. The man was charged with two counts of theft of motor vehicle, reckless exposure police by driving, resisting police, and committing indictable offence while on bail. He was also charged with one count of reckless conduct, possess methamphetamine, possess shotgun ammunition, and negligently dealing with proceeds of crime. The alleged offender was remanded to appear at the Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 14 February. Frankston Police Senior Constable Carly Robertson said “we are seeking for owners to unite against criminal activity at the Ambassador Hotel.” “We also have concerns about apartments being left unsecured and being used by squatters,” she said. “We are seeking for people and tenants to come forward if they know of unsafe practices or criminal activity.”

A POLICE operation is underway at the infamous Ambassador Hotel. Picture: Gary Sissons Other arrests made at the complex were for volume offending, theft of motor vehicle and theft from motor

vehicle, and drug offences. The Ambassador Hotel has a notorious reputation owing to a long

history of criminal activity occurring within the complex. The police operation is ongoing.

Deadline for pool registration soon HOME owners must register their pools and spas with council by 1 June. Amendments to the building act made late last year have made it a requirement for councils to keep a register of swimming pools and spas that exist within the municipality. Frankston mayor Sandra Mayer said “the deadline is getting closer and quite a few pool and spa owners are yet to register with us. This includes fixed, temporary, inflatable and relocatable pools and spas with a depth more than 300 millimetres.” Registering a pool comes at a cost of $79 to the property owner. “Agents and tenants are unable to register pools or spas and in the case that they have applied, the owner will need to call our customer service team to provide their consent,” Cr Mayer said. “Pools can be registered online or by visiting one of council’s service centres. When this is complete, owners will need to engage a private building surveyor or inspector to assess whether their barrier meets the required standard. “The standard will depend on when the pool or spa was built and council will provide your specific details when confirming your registration. When the standards are met, the surveyor or inspector will issue you a compliance certificate which will need to be lodged with council.” Frankston.vic.gov.au or call 1300 322 322 for more information.

Short stay law faces delay Continued from Page 1 The statement provided by council also read that “following council’s endorsement of the short stay rental local law in January, council officers identified an oversight whereby a requirement for a public notice to be included in the Victoria Government Gazette at the commencement of the consultation process was missed.” The new local law would introduce measures to punish owners of short stay rental properties whose guests cause trouble and make noise. Owners will be charged an annual registration

fee of $150, with a penalty of up to $2000 for those who fail to register. If three substantiated complaints or one severe complaint is made to council in regards to a property, owners face cancellation of their registration (“Crackdown on noise complaints”, The Times, 10/2/20). The introduction of that law has hit a stumbling block, and faces a further delay due to council’s failure to provide that public notice. Mr Cantillon said “the result of this is that council is required to consult with the community on the proposed

local law for a further term of 28 days, and take into consideration any further public submissions received during this time.” “This is an unfortunate outcome, particularly given the high level of community engagement undertaken to get to this point. However, I am committed to ensuring our governance processes safeguard against any future reoccurrence,” he said. Mr Cantillon plans to make a public statement about council’s recent governance issues at their 17 February public meeting.

Melinda Schneider’s tribute to the legendary Doris Day IN 2019, the world lost one of its biggest stars with the passing of Doris Day. A legend of stage, screen and song, Doris died aged 97, leaving behind an incredible body of work, including iconic movies and unforgettable songs. Doris Day, “the girl next door”, had millions of fans around the world, none bigger than charttopping Australian singer songwriter Melinda Schneider, who has recorded two albums of Doris’ songs, co-written and starred in a theatre show based on Doris’ life, and done sell-out tours celebrating Doris’ work. “I was so saddened to hear the news of the passing of the amazing Doris Day,” Melinda said. Melinda Schneider has announced her national tour A Farewell To Doris as her heartfelt tribute to Doris Day. This nostalgic concert celebration will feature the wonderful Young At Heart band and include such timeless hits as Que Sera, Sera, Sentimental Journey, Everybody Loves a Lover and Secret Love plus classic songs from the movies Calamity Jane, Love Me or Leave Me and The Pajama Game, as well as a number of Doris’ big band standards. Melinda’s love affair with Doris Day started when she saw Calamity Jane when she was just eight. “I thought she was the best of everything a woman can be, and when I grew up I wanted to be just like her,” Melinda says. “Whenever I revisit some of her old movies, I’m transported back to that place, a place

of happiness and pure joy.” After sell out shows at Sydney’s Opera House and Arts Centre Melbourne, Melinda returns the show in a concert format to Frankston Performing Arts Centre on Sunday March 8. Tickets available now through www.thefac. com.au or the venue box office: 9784 1060.

Confused about the right blinds for your home?

Signing up to save Centrelink Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au NAMES are rapidly being added to a petition aimed at stopping the closure of Mornington Centrelink and Medicare offices. By last Friday (14 February) the petition had in less than a week attracted 970 signatures and 291 “shares” on social media. The petition followed the federal government’s shock decision to close the Main Street offices on 27 March (“Centrelink shutdown” The News 11/2/20). Clients would be expected to access services at either Frankston, Rosebud or Hastings offices from then on. Mornington Community Information and Support Centre manager Stuart Davis-Meehan organised the petition to be presented to Health Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt and NDIS and Government Services Minister Stuart Robert, who made the contentious decision. “[The closure] will have a significant negative impact on those most vulnerable in our community that often need the face-to-face support provided by the office,” the petition says. “In particular, this includes those living in poverty, those living with disability, those experiencing mental ill health and the aged.” Mr Davis-Meehan said: “The added burden for those attending a Centrelink office, of having to travel to Frankston or Rosebud, is of great concern at a time when what is needed is more support – not less. “This will include added time, money and inconvenience to get the support they need.” Mr Davis-Meehan estimated 10 per cent of

Mornington, Mount Martha and Mount Eliza residents are “living in poverty”. “The closure will also reduce the ability of local agencies to respond in a timely manner to emergency situations for these clients,” he said. Mr Davis-Meehan said his centre assisted 15,100 needy clients in 2018-19, with 90 per cent of its emergency relief clients receiving a Centrelink benefit. “It is an essential service for the most disadvantaged and vulnerable people in the community,” he said. “Having the office just up the road is of great assistance to those requiring face-to-face contact.” Dunkley Labor MP Peta Murphy said existing customers would have to travel much further to access the services they need. “This is an example of [the government] failing to consult the community about the closure of a significant service,” she said. “The federal Liberal government needs to tell vulnerable and elderly residents how they will be able to access help once their service centre is gone. “Residents in my community are worried that they will be left struggling to access support and services.

A MASSIVE blaze has torn through a home on Tarella Road, Chelsea. Just after 9pm, 4 February, a fire broke out at the house. CFA attended the scene to attempt to extinguish the blaze. A statement from Chelsea SES, which also attended the scene, said “the massive blaze tore through the weatherboard home and began just after 9pm when neighbours heard a loud explosion. Both CFA and MFB appliances were on scene as some 50 firefighters in 12 appliances fought the blaze which threatened neighbouring properties at its height. CFA members did an incredible job isolating the fire to the single property.” Chelsea SES said the house was “totally destroyed” but that no major injuries occurred.

“Units from Edithvale, Patterson River, Springvale and Frankston CFA, as well as MFB units from as far away as Richmond. Ambulance Victoria, Police and SES were all at the incident until just before 2am this morning [5 February] and Patterson River CFA and Victoria Police remained on scene all night,” the SES statement read.

Group assault POLICE are looking for five men believed to have been involved in an assault on Seaford Beach, 20 December 2019. Police say the group of five assaulted one victim after a verbal argument. The victims suffered a broken jaw as a result of the attack. Three women were also present at the time of the assault. Police have released images (below) of a party of people and a car in the hope of finding out more information. Anyone who recognises the people or the car is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 00 or make a confidential report online at crimestoppersvic.com.au

for assessment. Professional Standards Command have been notified of the incident, which is police protocol when a firearm is discharged.

Cannabis bust OVER 400 cannabis plants have been found and seized from a Carrum Downs property, police say. Police officers executed a search warrant at a Leah Grove property around 5.30am, 12 February. They allegedly found 180kg of drugs. Police have not yet made any arrests. Nobody was inside the premises during the police search. Detective Sergeant Flyn Loughlin said “a seizure of this size will hopefully make a significant impact and reduce the amount of illicit drugs reaching the community. Cannabis can have devastating effects on drug users, their lives and their families lives.” “We will continue to work tirelessly to disrupt and shut down these types of operations throughout Victoria,” he said. The investigation is ongoing. Police are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.

Put keys away Police fire shot POLICE have shot at a man who allegedly rushed at them with a machete last week. Police arrived at Ashleigh Avenue, Frankston and found a man they say was armed at around 9pm on 9 February. The man allegedly rushed towards police, and an officer fired their gun. A police statement said that the bullet did not hit the man. The alleged offender was sprayed and arrested by police, who were uninjured. The man, believed to be in his 30s, was taken to hospital

FOUR cars were stolen last week when owners left the keys inside their vehicles. In the early hours of 6 February, offenders broke into a used car lot in Seaford and stole keys from an unlocked car. They used the keys to steal a 1996 Toyota Hilux. Overnight 9 February in Frankston, a 2019 Skoda was stolen after the offender found the spare keys inside the boot of the car. Work tools were also inside the vehicle when it was taken. The same night in Frankston, an offender broke into one of the victim’s cars, and found the keys for their other car inside. They stole the Hyundai i30 using the key.

KERRISDALE RAILWAY Thu 19th Mar $80pp incl: BBQ Lunch On 10 February overnight in Langwarrin, two Volkswagen Golfs were targeted by an unknown offender. The victim had left the keys to one of the cars lying on the centre console of the other. The offender smashed the window, stole the keys, then stole the car. All cars are still outstanding as of 11 February. Frankston Police Senior Constable Nathaniel Seymour said that people who leave their keys in plain sight are “making themselves easy targets”. “If offenders can’t see something they want, they likely won’t cause any damage. Lock your cars and keep things out of view,” he said.

Assistance line helps VICTORIA Police say they are “pleased” with the number of Frankston residents who have used the new police assistance line for nonurgent matters. The line and website for non-urgent matters was launched on 1 July last year. Victoria Police says that between the launch and 30 September, 37 per cent of burglary and break and enter reports in Frankston were made through the service. 24 per cent of local property damage reports were made through the non-urgent service, as well as 35 per cent of theft reports. Victoria Police inspector Steve Towers said “Victoria Police is pleased with the uptake of the police assistance line and online reporting in the Frankston area.” “These new services have reduced the amount of time local police spend taking reports on non-urgent crimes, giving them more time to be out in the community doing proactive work,” he said. “Across Victoria, we have seen the community continue to utilise these convenient services with over 500,000 calls received at the police assistance line.” Reach the police assistance line on 131 444 or online at police.vic.gov.au/palolr.

Shire wants to get tougher on jet ski hoons

LITTLE BEAUTY MARKET IS A MONTHLY CELEBRATION OF ART, DESIGN, CRAFT, FOOD AND CULTURE IN THE HEART OF FRANKSTON

FEBRUARY.22 9AM TO 2PM BEAUTY PARK, FRANKSTON WWW.LITTLEBEAUTYMARKET.COM.AU

The 92nd

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors hope local laws officers will be able to book hooning jet ski riders in summers to come. The shire officers this year have the power to collect evidence that can lead to prosecutions, but must be content with issuing verbal warnings and not infringement notices. The mayor Cr Sam Hearn said the shire would continue lobbying for its officers to be able to book hooning jet ski riders. The shire will also continue its campaign for safe swimming areas, where jet skis are banned. Cr Hearn told The Times that jet skis should be kept closer to launching ramps, away from swimmers. Local laws officers are now restricted to “speaking to and educating the public, surveillance and gathering evidence”. The evidence of jet skis breaking the rules – including photographs and jet ski registration numbers - is handed over to Marine Safety Victoria (MSV), which then decides whether to issue infringement notices. Cr Hearn said the MSV “actually prosecutes and fines” jet ski riders for breaking the rules “so it’s not as though they’re getting off”. “Next summer, I hope we can gather evidence

and deliver fines,” he said. “At the moment the system [of gathering evidence and prosecution] is shared between two agencies. “I would still like to see a more simple zoning area to separate swimmers and jet skis.” The shire’s acting manager environment protection Katie McKenzie said officers would enforce compliance within the five-knot zone – usually within 200-metres of shore – or 500-metres from shore along the coastline from Safety Beach to Portsea (“Words of warning for jet ski hoons” The Times, 3/2/20). These are the areas where jet ski riders come into most contact with swimmers and paddle boarders. “Our officers will focus on hoon behaviour in the five-knot zone, which includes enforcing speed limits, in an effort to protect swimmers and other water users,” she said. “Hoon behaviour outside the five-knot zone can only be enforced by the Water Police.” Ms McKenzie said as well as shire officers “patrolling beaches watching out for speeding and erratic operation of jet skis, they will also be encouraging good behaviour on our heavily used beaches: after all, summer is for everyone”.

Coming back to Karingal Heights Primary School after the holidays is always an enjoyable experience. Saying hello to our students, old and new and chatting to their parents is always fun. Being a small school of approximately 75 children allows us to know all our children and their families well. We have high expectations of the academic abilities of all of our children with an emphasis placed on literacy and numeracy with three out of our small group of 2019 grade 6 children being accepted into accelerated programs at their chosen secondary school. We have a strong focus on student wellbeing and have been focusing on School Wide Positive Behaviours. Our partnerships with the Frankston Special Development School and McClelland Secondary College are continuing this year and we are excited that Anglicare have based the Karingal Family Wellbeing Hub at our School. It is all looking very exciting for our future. If you would like to organise a school tour please do not hesitate to contact us on 9789 3288.

Exciting times at Monterey. It is an incredibly exciting time to be a member of the Monterey community with a range of significant improvements underway at the school. New building works supported by the Frankston North Education Plan add to the school’s state-of-the-art facilities supporting our outstanding approach to teaching and learning. Making use of these great facilities, the school’s innovative Sports Science Academy will launch next year. Partnering with the St Kilda Football Club, and the Frankston District Netball Association, the program offers unparalleled access to elite-level development, coaching and learning programs in the areas of health and sports science. We continue to deliver our award-winning VCAL model to guide students through robust learning programs towards careers in sport and industry. In 2019, we also celebrated significant growth in both our NAPLAN and VCE results as we continue our commitment to the continuous improvement of teaching and learning at the College. We encourage families to join us for a tour and learn more about our exciting programs and facilities. To book, visit our new website, or call the school to arrange a time. Open Night: Monday 16 March, 6pm-8pm

Minister for non-services and bureaucrats to blame Who was the academic idiot bureaucrat and federal minister for human non-services that made the decision to close Mornington Centrelink and Medicare offices even without informing Flinders MP, Health Minister Greg Hunt (“Centrelink shutdown” The Times 11/2/20). I note that [Government Services] Minister Stuart Robert is a close friend of the prime minister [Scott Morrison], even sharing a house while in Canberra, and is the Assistant Treasurer. Perhaps the motivation is to allow the federal treasurer to achieve his surplus, regardless of the inconvenience and cost to the local community of pensioners? So, what next? Are Rosebud, Frankston and Cranbourne also to be closed? These so-called bureaucrats expect us all to use the internet to deal with the department, regardless of age and experience with that procedure. From personal experience, being a very senior senior, I updated assets (with the help of family) on the system and was told I would be contacted by the department, as the figure was in excess to the “noffn”, whatever that is. However, I heard nothing further for a few weeks and had to contact Greg Hunt’s office to ascertain what they were seeking. His office advised that they required further documentation, which was immediately supplied in person to the Rosebud Centrelink office. Six months later I received an account for payment from Centrelink for a $100 overpayment of the age pension. It is about time these overpaid academic Idiots, bureaucrats and politicians spent more time and effort in improving the system, as opposed to reducing further inadequate services to the community. But we can only blame ourselves can’t we, as we elected them. Robert Troutbeck, Boneo

Frankston Times

18 February 2020

Callous closure After reeling at the lack of action on such things as climate change and sports rorts, I thought that at least we could rely on being looked after [by the federal government]. Not the case - front page news regarding the closure of Mornington Centrelink blew this dream to bits (“Centrelink shutdown” The News 11/2/20). What callous lack of thinking allowed the federal government to attack the most disadvantaged of our community by making it near impossible to keep appointments or conduct Centrelink business vital to their welfare? It is already an appalling state of affairs that allows Newstart recipients to attempt to survive on $275 a week without placing this hardship upon them. It would also be well advised to think of aged pensioners and people with disabilities among others and treat them with compassion, not callousness. I would urge [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt to urgently raise this matte in Parliament to prevent this astonishing action. Concerned members of the public can also contact their local member to urgently stop this abuse of our most vulnerable. Mel Farnbach, Balnarring

Shabby treatment [Flinders MP] MP Greg Hunt, and our whole Mornington Peninsula community, are being treated rather shabbily by the Morrison government. Closing Centrelink and Medicare access to a large portion of the peninsula is cavalier (“Centrelink shutdown” The Times 11/2/20). Is this the first move towards privatisation of these services? Reducing staff numbers of a service already well understaffed, would make this an attractive proposition for some carpetbagger friends of our

corruption-prone government. After raising my concerns about this with Mr Hunt, he assured me that he’s working terribly hard on a reversal of this sorry decision. It’s not that the peninsula is blessed with the greatest public transport system so people can access services many miles away. Which leads me to the question, where is our Liberal state MP for Mornington [David Morris] when you need him? Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Pain and suffering Is [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt (also the Health Minister) willing to stand by while some faceless minister from Canberra closes Centrelink? Is he aware of the pain, the suffering, the inconvenience this causes? What does he care, he is a politician [and] they don’t listen to ordinary people. Maybe it is helping to balance the budget. Terry Catlow, Mornington

Robodebt extortion What a despicable act by our (so-called) Liberal government in closing the Mornington Centrelink and Medicare offices (“Centrelink shutdown” The Times 11/2/20). Our seemingly ineffectual Flinders MP Greg Hunt, reckons he didn’t know. Tell that to the judge at the next election. We need to know who authorised this malicious act, and why. Or will it remain a state secret? Clearly, welfare recipients, be they aged or other pensioners, or desperately destitute Newstart recipients, are not worth taxpayers’ dollars for assistance at a Mornington office, whereas $100 million strategically spent for “sports grants” is a valuable investment to keep a few MPs in power. With private health insurance in rapid decline, any surreptitious injury possible to Medicare is beneficial. Thousands of our unworthy untouchables are homeless because they can’t afford rent, or penniless because they can. A great many of these don’t want or need a computer and internet plan to communicate with Centrelink and fill in forms.

Too many can’t. Was our local office overwhelmed by the response to the illegal “robodebt” racket? Or by pensioners like me who, following due process, reported the death of a loved one and was subsequently unceremoniously directed to pay to Centrelink, the loved one’s $20,000 alleged debt, without evidence, statement or invoice? Just send the money. This would be criminal extortion in any other country, since I had no liability for this debt. Ignoring these people doesn’t work, you have to eyeball them and sort them out. Centrelink needs radical reform, a new start, from top to bottom, especially customer nonservice. Sack the incompetent and arrogant and keep our absolutely essential offices here (providing there are enough surviving employees). Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

The right links There are many right wing equivalents (cantankerous conservatives, witless wits, reasonless righties) to the loony left. Here’s just a few of the many: The Collation, the True Blue Crew, the United Patriots Front, Fraser Anning’s Conservative National Party, the Antipodean Resistance, Australian Defence League, Australia First Party, Hellenic Nationalists of Australia, Patriotic Youth League, Proud Boys, Reclaim Australia, Rise Up Australia Party, United Patriots Front and, of course, One Nation. The list goes on but I have a word limit on my thesis. Every extremist killing in the US in 2018 had a link to a right-wing extremism, according to a January 2019 report from the Anti-Defamation League’s Centre on Extremism. The findings are consistent with other recent research on rightwing extremism in the US, which shows it’s on the rise. The threat from extreme rightwing terrorism in Australia has increased, ASIO says And almost all of these are perpetuated by white people, many who use the Bible to justify their actions.

ON THE COVER

‘TORNVILLA’ - CIRCA 1877 ONE of the peninsula’s hidden gems, ‘Tornville’ is a property we have all flashed by on our drive down the freeway and for most of us probably never realised was there. An engaging step back in time, this charming heritage home will create an instant attraction for those with a genuine admiration for the grace of the Victorian era with the sturdy cottage, built in 1877, originally owned by the prominent Cairns family. Bestowing a peaceful, quaint atmosphere upon all who visit, the simple floorplan comprises two established bedrooms, the large master bedroom has a decorative fireplace and built-in robes, and a separate study can be a third bedroom

HOME ESSENTIALS

if required. The formal lounge retains many period features with a mantle above the original fireplace which now houses a crackling wood heater and the high ceilings are adorned with ornate cornices. A combined dining room and kitchen has a pleasant outlook to a sea of green and a wall of windows fills the space with plenty of natural light. The kitchen has a healthy amount of cupboard space, there is a stainless-steel dual sink and set into the original hearth is an electric oven. It is the delightful outdoor zones however that exemplify these homes and here is no exception with verandahs to all sides and a brick pathway leading along

to the old outhouse and dairy. The home does have a full bathroom and a separate laundry. The magnificent grounds measure about 3662 square metres and boast wondrous cottage gardens and majestic gums that combine to provide serene shady spaces for outdoor fun and relaxation. Set in a minimal local traffic area, the possibilities here include a full restoration of the original home or subdivide (STCA) to take full advantage of the fantastic location, close to the cafes and beaches of McCrae.n

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Returned soldier dead after being thrown from horse Compiled by Cameron McCullough A SAD fatality took place on Sunday last, the victim being Mr Angus Sharkey, who was visiting at “Beachleigh,” the residence of Mrs Forster, Mornington Road. Deceased was riding on the road in the vicinity of the Mornington racecourse, when he was thrown from his horse, and falling on his head, received such injuries as to cause death to ensue very shortly after. Deceased, who was 21 years of age, was a returned soldier. The funeral took place on Tuesday, the interment taking place in the Frankston cemetery with military honors. The coffin was mounted on a gun-carriage and a large numbers of returned men headed the cortege. The following Returned Soldiers acted as pallbearers – Messrs J. C. Murphy, C. Bunney, Petrie, Anderson, Watson, and R. McKenzie. The Rev. A. P. McFarlane officiated at the graveside. *** THE modern plate glass windows, recently added to the premises of Messrs G. E. Rogers and Son, ironmongers, Playne street, attracted considerable attention during the week. More anon. *** IT is announced in our advertising columns that a grand Gymkhana will be held at Hastings on Easter Monday, under the auspices of the Hastings branch of the Returned Soldiers’ Association and the Brass Band. The programme will be adver-

tised later. Mr. J. Bickley is the hon. secretary. *** A SPLENDID line of preserving jars just arrived at G E Rogers & Son. *** A GRAND ball and supper to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day will be held in the Hastings Catholic School Hall on Friday, 19th March. Tickets will be sold at 3/-, 2/-, and 1/-. *** HOUSEWIVES will be interested in the new method of bottling fruit. Outfits now on view at G. E. Rogers and Son. *** MR. Percy Lyon announces that he has purchased the business lately carried on by Mr. A Shannon, of Frankston. Mr. Lyon, who is a returned soldier, is a practical baker and pastry cook, and is soliciting a share of public patronage. He undertakes to produce an article that will give entire satisfaction. *** LIEUT. H. W. James, who has seen service with the A.I.F., will give a lantern lecture entitled.”With the Fighting Forces Abroad,” in the Methodist Church, Frankston, on Thursday evening next, at 8 o’clock. *** CR. W. J Oates needs no introduction to the public of Frankston. It will give satisfaction to many to know, however, that he his entered into the business circle of the town, and will materially strengthen the ranks of the progressive commercial men who are endeavouring to push forward the

interests of the town. Mr. Oates announces in another column that he has purchased the business known as the “Frankston Dairy”, lately conducted by Messrs. Peebles and Strong. He intends to conduct the business on up-to-date lines, and guarantees an absolutely pure milk supply, direct from his own well-known dairy farm. *** We have been requested by. Mr. W. Minton, the Hon. Supt. of the Melbourne Ragged Boys’ Home, to acknowledge the receipt of a donation of £1 from Mr. R. R. Drake, the Treasurer of the “Seagull Swimming Club”, Long Island, Frankston, which amount has been accepted with many thanks, on behalf of the Boys’ Home on Oliver’s Hill, Frankston. *** LAST Sunday afternoon the Wattle Club entertained a number of invalid soldiers at Frankston. The following extract from the weekly report of the Red Cross V.M.C. speaks for itself: “Sunday was another ideal day for motoring, and the boys thoroughly enjoyed the run to Frankston, where they were entertained by the ladies of the “Wattle Club.” (The roads just past Moorabbin Station, until nearing Cheltenham, are fast falling into a very hard state, and a new track is being cut by the motorists on the south side. It is to be hoped that those responsible will take the repairs in hand quickly). The usual generous hospitality prevailed. There is always a special “personal touch” at Frankston – music and songs passed the afternoon

away. Our genial V.P. No. 3, in a delightfully ethereal vein, returned thanks on behalf of the V.M.C and the boys. He must have more opportunities of disclosing his hidden treasures of speech. The return trip was made at 4.30, and it is pleasing to relate that tyre troubles were absent on both outward and homeward journeys. Twenty-two cars were present.” *** THE many friends of Cr H. E. Unthank, of Hastings, will regret to learn that he was the victim of a serious riding accident yesterday. From particulars to hand it appears he was rounding up sheep on horse back in one of his home paddocks, when the horse fell and rolled on him. Mr Unthank when discovered some hours later was suffering excruciating pain, and his agony was so great that his friends desisted in their efforts to remove him to the homestead. The sufferer was made as comfortable as possible pending the arrival of medical aid which had been summoned by telephone. Dr Maxwell was speedily in attendance, and affording what relief was possible had the patient removed to St Pancras Private Hospital. *** OUR LETTER BOX To the Editor, Sir, I am extremely glad to see by your last number that the Frankston Gas and Electric Co. comes in for some well merited criticism. Yours is not the only complaint that I have heard, and such occur-

rences as commented on, combined with the Company’s attitude towards extension of lighting facilities to Seaford, make it highly desirable that the Council should take some strong and definite steps in the direction of securing relief. No district can progress without modern conveniences, yet here at Seaford we are compelled to go about with tallow candles and kerosene lamps as if we were hundreds of miles from civilization. I am given to understand that the charter given to the Frankston Gas and Electric Co. provided for a continuous service, as well as for lighting up the contiguous districts, such as the Seaford Riding, yet neither of these things are being done. Councillors may be assured they will have the full support of their constituents in asking that full attention should be paid to these matters. Good lighting is an essential to progress, and a deterrent to fire risk. Why should these districts be kept back in the way they are? I might mention I have just returned from Sydney where seaside land (residential – not shop) thirty miles and more from the city is worth £15 upwards, a foot – and why ? Because conveniences, such as light, water, travelling facilities, are provided as a matter of course for the public. Yours &c., A. T. CARTHEW. “Lialeeta”, Seaford. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 13 February 1920

Pearcedale pounded, Carrum fall short despite big total, Seaford miss by two runs By Brodie Cowburn

PENINSULA

PEARCEDALE have slumped to an outright loss against Long Island. Long Island put on an aggressive display on day one, replying to Pearcedale’s first innings score of 71 with 1/128. They declared after just 22 overs, sending Pearcedale back in to face the music again on day two. Adam Tweddle was the star of the show on day two, posting figures of 5/27 off 19 overs to inflict further misery onto Pearcedale. After 45 overs, Pearcedale were dismissed for 56. To lock in an outright win, Long Island came in for one over and put the final two runs needed on the board. Despite an impressive showing from their tail end, Main Ridge couldn’t get over the line against Pines at Eric Bell Reserve. Pines scored 261 on day one, leaving Main Ridge with a difficult task. Their run chase started on shaky ground, and at 7/73 they looked doomed to a loss. A late half century from number 10 batsman Nicholas Gage gave Main Ridge a late glimmer of hope, but it wasn’t enough to get a result. His side ended up all out for 162 off 47 overs, 100 runs short of a win.

Red Hill had a good day at home, securing an easy win over Moorooduc. The Hillmen were defending their day one total of 266. Moorooduc’s run chase started on the wrong foot when opener Aaron Richards retired hurt. They ended up all out for 105, well and truly short of their target.

A MASSIVE partnership between Shaun Foster and Jake D’Atri almost helped Carrum complete a massive run chase against Hastings. Hastings set their opponents a target of 268 to chase down on day one, thanks in part to a partnership of 148 between Matthew Foy and Jake Hewitt. Carrum showed on day two that they weren’t willing to take the result lying down, with Foster and D’Atri’s 143 run partnership the highlight. D’Atri ended up at 97 not out at the expiration of Carrum’s innings. Although Carrum worked hard, their run rate worked against them. They ended the day at 7/248, 29 runs short of a win. Delacombe Park had a tough day on Saturday, falling to a loss at home

against Dromana. Chasing 179 to win, Dromana were helped by a huge individual performance from Kierran Voelkl. He scored 94 not out to help his side get over the line. Dromana wrapped up the win with four wickets to spare. At Belvedere Reserve, a slow run rate cost Rosebud the win over Seaford Tigers. Chasing an attainable total of 168 to win, Rosebud couldn’t gather any momentum on day two. They ended up at 9/147 at stumps. Luke Chevalier helped the Tigers get a result, bowling 13 maiden overs. At Ferrero Reserve, Mt Martha fell to a 103 run loss against Crib Point.

SEAFORD fell agonisingly short of a win on Saturday, coming within two runs of victory. Up against Skye, Seaford needed 154 to secure the victory. Their run chase got off to a bad start when they lost their two openers and first drop batsmen for low scores. Seaford’s middle order steadied the ship a little bit, but none could go on to grab a big score. With their backs against the walls,

number 10 batsman Mathew Herbert nearly got his side over the line with a knock of 29, but it wasn’t quite enough. He was the last batsman to be dismissed, and Seaford ended up all out for 152. Frankston YCW had a good day on Saturday, defending their total of 237 against Carrum Downs. Carrum Downs started well, and at 2/96 they looked like they might be in with a shot. A complete collapse followed, and they ended up all out for 115. Liam Greenwood did most of the damage for the Stonecats, claiming a five wicket haul. Things looked up for Balnarring on Saturday, as they played well and defended their total of 163. Their Tootgarook opponents were poor with bat in hand on day two and ended their innings at 9/107. Rye had a tough day against Tyabb, being bowled out for just 76 runs, The poor showing doomed them to a 110 run loss.

PROVINCIAL

A FANTASTIC knock of 82 from Corey Harris has helped Sorrento claim victory in an entertaining, high scoring affair against Flinders.

Flinders played well on day one, setting a total of 246 for the Sharks to chase down. Harris came in as an opener and was excellent. He helped his side get off to a good start of 2/120. After Harris was dismissed, Sorrento needed another batsman to stand up to help get them over the line. Liam O’Connor put his hand up, scoring 70 not out to help his side score a narrow two wicket win. Matthew Gale was Flinders’ best performer on day two, taking six wickets. At Emil Madsen Reserve, Mt Eliza recorded a win over Langwarrin. Chasing 151 to win on day two, the Redlegs had to work hard for it. They ended up doing enough to grab the win, but with just three wickets left to spare. Baden Powell couldn’t defend their total of 108 at Overport Park, falling to defeat against Peninsula OB. Old Boys passed their target with six wickets in hand, and ended up at 8/177 at the close of play. Mornington had a frustrating afternoon against Baxter on Saturday, ending up all out for just 97 runs. Mornington were chasing 160 runs to win.

Rosebud wins battle for ‘Pags’ SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ROSEBUD agreed terms with Mark Pagliarulo last week breaking up the most prolific strike partnership in local ranks. Pagliarulo and goalscoring legend Dave Greening powered Somerville Eagles to the State 5 South championship last season but the dynamic duo are no more. Between them they nabbed 49 goals in 2019 as Somerville cruised to the title with a nine-point margin. Both fielded a number of offers recently with Greening deciding to remain at Somerville while “Pags” has flown the nest. Before settling on the switch to Olympic Park the big Scot turned down a lucrative offer to sign for rival State 5 South outfit White Star Dandenong. “It was hard to resist but I played for decent money back home at times and I never enjoyed it because I went to the clubs for cash,” he said. “Now I want to help develop younger players and help Rosebud achieve success. “I’ve been impressed with the club since one of my sons played there last season. “The hard part was telling the boys at Somerville because I loved my time there and I’m devastated to be leaving them.” Director of football Zach Peddersen echoed the general sentiment at the Eagles when saying goodbye to last year’s top scorer. “We know he’ll be back one day but for now Rosebud is a better fit for his family and we wish him all the best for the season ahead,” he said. Last week Rosebud also announced the signings of Eric Manhanong (also from Somerville), Hayden Hicks and Ryan McCann. Manhanong can play at the back or in midfield, Hicks is a goalkeeper who has had spells at Peninsula Strikers, Old Carey and Swinburne while McCann has been with Mooroolbark and East Brighton. In FFA Cup news no local State 5 clubs remain in this year’s knockout competition after Rosebud, Aspendale Stingrays and Mount Martha all lost on Saturday. “Pags” didn’t play in Rosebud’s 3-2 away loss to Barwon after injuring his right knee at training two days before the match. Rosebud was 3-0 down at half-time but a 64th minute goal from Chris Parry running onto a ball over the top and finishing well opened the visitors’ account.

In the 81st minute Blake Hicks pressured Barwon keeper Kieran Ower in a 50/50 and Hicks was presented with a tap in to make it 3-2 and the home side was made to sweat through the final minutes of the contest. Aspendale Stingrays lost 4-3 on penalties to fellow State 5 rival White Star Dandenong at Kingston Heath after the sides were locked at 1-1 after normal time and extra time. Louis Palmire put White Star ahead in the 13th minute and the Stingrays equalised in the 59th minute. A Pete Dimopoulos corner fell to James Macnab and his deflected shot beat White Star keeper Bobby Pejkovic. Aspendale’s best were Tom Lonsing, Dylan Guedes, Kieran Hughes and Sam Timuska-Carr. Mount Martha’s senior soccer bow resulted in a 5-0 defeat against a much more seasoned Shepparton South at Padua College in Mornington. If the visitors from the Bendigo Amateur Soccer League were in State 5 South they’d be one of the pre-season title favourites and they had winners all over the pitch. Predominant among them were winger Remell Davis who started on the left, switched to the right and had a spell through the middle but was a constant threat and central midfielder Shaun Kane. Kane’s partner in the middle was Kabir Kareem whose possession stats were through the roof but time and

the contest. A howler from Davies in the 73rd minute when he got both hands to a shot but failed to hold on allowed Kareem to get his name on the scoresheet. For the record Mount Martha’s first ever senior matchday squad was: Davies, Jannes Kalkbrenner, Steele, Howie Anderson, Jack Ecuyer, Josh Smith, Seb Siegl, Darragh Fitzsimmons, Mooney, Ethan Sanderson, Alex Giordano. Substitutes: Harry Aylett, Ben Edward, Archie Thomas, Tom Brewster, Jack Woodhill. In NPL news Langwarrin’s search for a goalkeeper ended last week when it agreed terms with James Burgess from Springvale White Eagles. The 20-year-old has also been at Bentleigh Greens and played in Langy’s 4-1 friendly loss away to Preston Lions on Saturday with Tom Youngs scoring for Langy with a classy finish. In other practice match news Josh Hine was unstoppable in Mornington’s 4-2 away win over State 1 North-West outfit Banyule City. Hine’s four goals and the debut of 24-year-old midfielder Dylan Fairclough were highlights for Mornington. Australian-born Fairclough has recently returned from England and last year played with Fleetwood Hesketh in the Southport & District Amateur Football League. Injuries and unavailability hit Mornington’s matchday squad against Banyule and matters weren’t helped when

again he had to take extra touches when quick ball movement would have added to the pressure on the home team. Mount Martha never gave up and its ability to keep running and harassing the opposition will be one of its strong suits this season. As will the presence of one of its few experienced players in left back Adam Steele who has been on the books of Manningham United and Ashburton United. As if to validate his surname his scything challenge from behind on Davis in the second half forced referee Ellmir Asipi to brandish a yellow card. Shepparton hit the front in the 13th minute when the home team failed to clear and Kane’s cutback was hammered home by striker Joel Aitken despite Mount Martha keeper Alex Davies getting a hand to the shot. The Kane-Aitken combination struck again in the 36th minute when Kane’s free kick was headed home by Aitken to make it 2-0 and a minute later it was contest over after Kane pounced on a terrible defensive blunder and neatly shot low into the far corner. In the 61st minute Davis broke clear on the left of the area and his low shot past the advancing Davies made it 4-0. A minute later young Mount Martha striker Connor Mooney forced Shepparton keeper Robert Harmeston to parry at his near post and home fans reacted enthusiastically as it was Mount Martha’s most dangerous moment in

central defender Steve Elliott, who has been in good form since returning from Doveton, was forced off through injury. Peninsula Strikers recovered from an early setback to beat Mazenod 2-1 last weekend at Kingston Heath. Mazenod led after 13 minutes through an error by young keeper Nick Scialpi deputising for Robbie Acs who was at a wedding. Strikers hit back in the 38th minute when a superb through ball to former Seaford United and East Bentleigh striker Ben Doree saw him cut inside an opponent before coolly slotting it past the keeper in the 38th minute. Three minutes later a cracking through ball from Alex Whyte released Tuach Ter down the right and his firsttime cross was finished well by Jason Bradbury. Skye United beat Dandenong South 3-1 last Thursday night with Mitch Blake, Mikey Turner and Stephen Tsering scoring for Skye. On Saturday Skye added State 1 side Casey Comets to its pre-season scalps with a 1-0 win at John Paul College. A stunning long-range strike by 17-year-old Reilly Saffin settled the issue in what was a hard-fought win by a depleted Skye side. Saffin was with Mornington’s under18s last year. Frankston Pines beat Noble Park 4-0 on Saturday night at Monterey Reserve with goals from CJ Hodgson (2), Hamraz Zanoozi and Jason Tiso. Baxter lost 2-0 to Knox City last weekend while Seaford United drew 2-2 with North Melbourne Athletic thanks to a Dylan Waugh double. Queensland triallist Ryan Ramsden from Magpies Crusaders was in goal for Seaford in the first half and could sign this week. On Sunday Somerville Eagles won 4-3 against Mount Eliza at Somerville Secondary College with Sam Beadle (2), Bjorn Kutschera and Greening scoring for Somerville. This week’s pre-season friendlies: TUESDAY: Seaford reserves v Frankston Pines reserves, North Seaford Reserve, 7pm. THURSDAY: Frankston Pines v Skye Utd, Monterey Reserve, 7pm.

Galaxy Raider’s last lunge for All-Star Mile HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou THE Grahame Begg-trained Galaxy Raider made one final attempt to secure his spot in Australia’s richest mile race with a last to first victory at Flemington on Saturday 15 February. Prior to running on Saturday, the Pinecliff, Mt Eliza-based runner sat just outside the top 10 on the leaderboard for the $5 million All-Star Mile which is set to be run at Caulfield in March. With almost 2,500 votes to his name on Thursday night, the stable favourite didn’t leave anything on the track in his final bid to secure his spot in the multi-million dollar race by storming home from the rear to nail the Shane Nichols-trained, Streets of Avalon, just before the finishing post in the Hong Kong Jockey Club Trophy (1400m). With a superb steer for young apprentice Teodore Nugent, the sevenyear-old son of Hard Spun ate up the ground in the concluding stages to made it back-to-back victories at Flemington. Trainer Grahame Begg said that they couldn’t do anymore than win on the weekend. “I’m really pleased, it’s very satisfying with the old boy. He’s a bit of a favourite in the stable down at Pinecliff,” Begg said. “To put two wins together is fantastic.” The back-to-back win was even more impressive when stacking up his time for the race against the other two 1400m races on the day. Galaxy Raider clocked the quickest 1400m time for the day, running the seven furlongs in 1:22.37 - quicker

than that of uber-talented three-yearsold’s Alligator Blood and Catalyst who raced earlier on the card. Begg said the way the race panned out was just perfect for his galloper to fly home late. “With the speed of the race today,

it was tailormade for him. With 52kg on his back and a month between runs and since we’ve put the blinkers back on him, he’s won his last two starts,” he said. “I think the thing with him is to keep him really well and keep him in a good frame of mind.”

Voting for the All-Star Mile has now closed with the final leaderboard set to be re-opened this week. The top 10 on the leaderboard will secure their place in the race.
