Councillors’ free speech threatened Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au AN apparent lack of transparency at the highest levels of Frankston Council has seen an attempt to curb councillors’ freedom of speech flounder amid dubious claims of “incorrect information” supplied to the media. Councillors agreed last month to defer a debate about a proposed amended council media policy which would have forced councillors to advise the mayor Cr Sandra Mayer “of any comments that they have made or are intending to make to the media”. Councillors are elected representatives, not employees of council, and should be able to express opinions without being gagged by council. A council officer’s report claimed unclear procedures for media enquiries “has recently resulted in several instances of incorrect, unverified or potentially damaging information being provided to the media”. The report also claimed “retractions” had to be issued “in some cases”. When asked by The Times to provide examples of “incorrect information” or “retractions” both the mayor and council CEO Dennis Hovenden did not provide even one example. Both repeatedly declined to answer the questions and instead supplied written comments which failed to address the claims made in the council officer’s report used as one of the main reasons to amend council’s media policy. Despite not providing any examples of incorrect information or retractions in the media, Mr Hovenden said he hoped council’s new media policy, yet to be adopted, “helps to reduce these

situations from occurring”. Cr Mayer said the proposed media policy changes are part of a regular review. “Of course councillors are allowed to have their own opinion. However, if it may conflict with a formal council position it should be made known that it’s their own view.” The planned media policy makes it clear councillors could face consequences if they speak to the media without notifying the mayor. “Any staff member or councillor speaking to the media without the appropriate approval will not be supported by council in the event of any pursuant legal or other action against council,” the policy states. The Times understands the media policy debate was deferred because several councillors are troubled by what seems like an attempt to control what they say. Deputy mayor Cr Glenn Aitken said “it is only fair” that councillors let the mayor know when they have spoken to the media as “a courtesy”. Cr Aitken said councillors do have a right to express their opinions as long as they make it clear it may not be council’s official position. The council officer’s report noted opposition from councillors about the draft media policy. “Councillors are of the view that they should be able to speak to the media on issues related to their wards,” the report said. “It is recommended that they continue to do this, but they should inform [the] Media and Communications [department] who will inform the mayor and the chief executive officer.”

Wreckers lined up for Ambassador Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au The sounds of a wrecker’s machinery will provide a backdrop to sighs of relief and the popping of champagne corks when demolition of the former Ambassador Hotel begins next month. Owner Joanna Kordos plans to replace the 40-year-old building at the northern Nepean Highway entrance to Frankston with a four-storey apartment block (‘The Ambassador faces axe’, The Times 30/3/15). She plans a champagne breakfast to celebrate the start of work to replace the building that has been inhabited by squatters, linked to drug deals and the target of vandals with apartments “more luxurious than anything available now in Frankston”. Prices for the 37 upmarket apartments will range from $309,000 to $695,000. Ms Kordos bought the building with architect’s plans and has secured a one-year extension on her building permit from Frankston Council. “Squatters come and go, but they won’t be a problem once it’s demolished,” she said. Talks being held with the body corporate of units sitting closely behind the Ambassador could see Ms Kordos contributing towards an “overhaul and upgrade” of the outdoors section of that property. Such as change would help increase the value of the units “and lift up the neighbourhood”. “Just knocking the Ambassador down will mean there will be different

Old and new: An artist’s impression of the luxury apartment block, above, that will replace the ageing and neglected Ambassador Hotel in Nepean Highway, Frankston, top right (Picture: Gary Sissons). The property is being developed by Joanna Kordos, right, who plans to celebrate having the wreckers on site with a champagne breakfast.

tenants in those units.” The owner of a recently finished “model” boarding house at Noble Park – with plans for up to 10 more – Ms Kordos said her “passion” was now fo-

cussed on developing the luxury apartments on the Ambassador site. “We’ll start demolition in about three weeks with a champagne breakfast,” she said last Thursday.

“Half of Melbourne has had some sort of stay at the Ambassador over the past 40 years. It’s quite a nostalgic place for some – there’s always a story to tell.” Ms Kordos said she knew the original owners and had bought the property along with plans for the redevelopment. Nine of the 37 apartments will be single bedroom, 24 will have two bedrooms and four three bedrooms. There will be 51 car parking spaces, including nine for visitors and one disabled. The two apartments at ground level

will be 108 and 111 square metres with 30 square metre courtyards. The apartments on the other floors will have terraces and balconies. The apartment block will have solar power, two elevators, a marblefinished foyer and a large blue glass mosaic on the front exterior. Ms Kordos, an artist, plans to auction one of her mosaics on opening day with proceeds going to charity. “Aesthetics are important to me. I am creating something for the long term, something that doesn’t age after five years.”

Billson’s ‘small business budget’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THIS year’s federal budget has been dubbed “the small business budget” and Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson has been right in the thick of it, as you’d expect from the Small Business Minister. The minister said it had been an honour to help craft a “significant small business and jobs package” for the budget. “For us in our community small business is the economy,” he said. “It’s the largest small business package that the nation’s seen. It’s something I’ve been working on and advocating for for some time and has been the key focus of my work for many years.” Mr Billson, a former small business owner in Mornington himself, said he understands the challenges faced by small businesses and is keen to help “hard working” owners create jobs. The Abbott government has committed $5.5 billion to give small businesses a 1.5 per cent tax cut and allow small businesses, with a turnover of less than $2 million, to claim a tax deduction on business items costing less than $20,000. Mr Billson denied the tax cut and incentive is reckless given the Abbott government’s pledge to cut the national deficit. “What we’ve done in this budget, wherever we’ve had new initiatives we’ve made sure they’ve been more than offset than savings elsewhere in the budget.”

The $5.5 billion small business package had been primarily funded by dropping the Liberals’ proposed paid parental leave scheme. He denied walking away from the scheme is not a broken promise despite Prime Minister Tony Abbott describing it as his “signature” policy before winning government. “It’s a bit rich when people say that,” he said. “Labor runs around and is quite shrill and divisive and incredibly aggressive in its opposition to things the government wants to do, blocks them and then gloats about the fact they’ve blocked them, then squeal we have to take a different course.” Mr Billson said the Coalition government was forced to drop the paid parental leave scheme because its opponents in the Senate made it clear it would not be passed. The member for Dunkley said he was not sure who coined the “Have a Go” slogan for this year’s budget. “It does encapsulate the idea that we’re an optimistic country and we have ambitions and if government can create the right conditions that turn ambition into action that’s a good thing.” When asked about the Liberals’ fondness for three-word slogans – think “Stop the Boats” and “Axe the Tax” - Mr Billson said there is not much point in governments working hard on policy but failing to “connect with the audience”. “You do need to encapsulate at times all different kinds of thoughts and ideas into a communication method that gets the ideas across and doesn’t bore people witless,” he said.

The phrase “Have a Go” is meant to encourage people “with hopes for their future” to “get amongst it if you’ve got an idea to grow your business – let’s do it.” As Small Business Minister, Mr Billson said he cannot ensure every business is successful but he can strive to remove obstacles and barriers to business. As for Frankston, he said he is encouraged to see some new and different businesses arrive in the community. “We need to deepen and broaden the nature of the local economy.” He admitted retail is challenged by “disruptive” market forces and he is keen to see Frankston businesses harness new technology to win business from online competitors moving into their market. In his budget reply speech he called Joe Hockey’s second budget as Treasurer “a hoax, a mirage, a smokescreen” that will fail to fix Australia’s national deficit. Mr Shorten slammed the budget for failing to invest in infrastructure or prepare the country “for the digital age”. Mr Billson believes Labor has a short memory when it comes to deficits. “The previous [Labor] government had a capacity to spend money and build in financial commitments without turning its mind to how to pay for them. “As is so often the case we get elected to fix up the mess and then deal with the challenges of change and adjustment to try to get our finances and the country back on track.”

Small Business Minister Bruce Billson

SMALL Business Minister Bruce Billson has admitted the Abbott Government “bit off more than we could chew” with last year’s controversial cost-cutting budget. The budget, Treasurer Joe Hockey’s first since the Coalition won government back from Labor, was widely unpopular due to funding cuts to family tax benefits, community legal aid services and a $7 Medicare co-payment that was later dropped such was the negative political fallout. Mr Billson insisted “it had some good measures in it” and “opened up educational opportunities to a broader range of people”. However, he did conceded “we were trying to do too much too quickly”. “The need for change wasn’t something that was broadly understood ... that was one of the shortcomings of our approach.”

Woman hit, robbed A WOMAN was hit on the head with a piece of wood and then robbed by a man as she was leaving Bayside shopping centre on Friday 8 May. Senior Constable Ken Howard, of the Armed Robbery Task Force, said the woman, 62, was walking on Ross Smith Av when the man hit her from behind and knocked her to the ground at 6.20pm. The man then began rifling through her handbag. The woman initially thought he was trying to assist her but then realised he was her assailant and pulled the bag away. The man ran off with her scarf. The man is described as late 30s, Caucasian, with short cropped ginger hair, 183cm tall and a large build. He was wearing a yellow-and-blue, high-visibility top and khaki pants. Sen. Const. Howard is appealing for witnesses to the unprovoked attack. He said the man had also been seen in busy Young, Balmoral and Clyde streets around the time of the attack. Anyone with information should call Frankston police 9784 5590 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Fake $50s charges Fact and fiction: There’s virtually no end to the subjects covered in books available at this year’s Book Bonanza sale being run by Mt Eliza Rotary Club. Peyton Carter, above, gets a helping paw from her dog Eloise while Merrilyn-Hamilton Smith and Peter Greer sort through some of the books in this year’s sale. Picture: Yanni

A Bonanza to exercise the mind BOOKS can be used for exercise, according to the Rotary Club of Mt Eliza. But the exercise being promoted by the club doesn’t involve lifting a stack of heavy tomes; it’s all about the mind. The club’s promotion of this year’s Book Bonanza sale is based around Irish author and politician Richard Steele’s statement that “reading is to

the mind what exercise is to the body”. Based on that, the opportunities for exercise will be boundless when the club lifts the covers on this year’s offerings: from biographies to the arts, antiques, interior design, vehicles, sport and politics. Of course literature gets a mention as do books for children, the religious, travellers and cooks. The books come in hard and soft covers and

include some first editions and boxed sets. Money raised by the book sale goes to community projects. Entry is free and refreshments will be available to Mt Eliza Rotary Club’s annual Rotary Book Bonanza, Ranelagh Scout Hall, Butler Reserve (off Ranelagh Drive), Mt Eliza, 10am-3pm Saturday 23 May and 9am- 2pm Sunday 24 May.

FRANKSTON police last week arrested and charged a Parkdale woman with possessing and making $50 notes at her home. Detective Sergeant Jason Hocking said police seized instruments and materials used to make the fake notes over a six-month period. He believes they were passed in the Frankston area. The woman, 21, has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in June. “Traders should be vigilant when receiving $50 notes and forward any suspicious notes to police,” Det. Sgt Hocking said. The federal indictable offence carries penalties of up to 14 years jail and $60,000 in fines.

COLD Case Missing Person Squad detectives have taken over the investigation into the disappearance of Frankston North woman Karen Rae. The 48 year old, right, has not been seen or heard from since leaving her home in Adib Ct at 7pm on Wednesday 15 April. About the time, Ms Rae may have been with a man driving a dark blue Holden Commodore, police say. Police and SES volunteers searched open land on Golf Links Rd on Wednesday in the hunt for clues as to the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappearance. An information caravan was also set up on the corner of Frankston-Dandenong Rd and Excelsior Drive, Frankston North. Acting Detective Sergeant Peter Tasiopoulos said that while Karen may have disappeared of her own accord, police wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discount foul play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Karen is out there and is choosing to be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;missingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; there is no problem with that,â&#x20AC;? Sgt Tasiopoulos said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, we need to investigate whether something more sinister has occurred which is why we need public assistance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If people know anything or saw anything,

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really like to speak to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to the caravan but still have information, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really encourage calls to Crime Stoppers.â&#x20AC;? Detective Tasiopoulos said Ms Rae has not accessed her bank account or used her mobile phone in a month, which â&#x20AC;&#x153;rings alarm bells with usâ&#x20AC;?.

Plan now for pancreatic cancer rise, says doctor HEALTHCARE services need to plan for a rise in pancreatic cancer, Peninsula Health’s Endoscopy boss Dr Leon Fisher has warned. His warning coincides with this week’s launch of the 2015 cancer appeal to buy the $500,000 cancer detecting machine. “An endoscopic ultrasound and endoscopic bronchial ultrasound machine is a critical piece of equipment for diagnosing and treating a range of cancers,” Dr Fisher said. “Currently, local residents must travel outside our catchment zone to access diagnostic services for pancreatic cancer and are often put on long waiting lists. “We have CT scanners, MRI scanners, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy … everything is at Peninsula Health except the EUS/EBUS machine.” Research in the Medical Journal of Australia

reveals pancreatic cancer is on the rise. “The five-year survival rate is only five per cent, so early detection is vital,” Dr Fisher said. “With an EUS/EBUS machine available locally, diagnosis will be faster and more accurate. It would happen at Frankston Hospital within days of initial scans, resulting in faster treatment. “The alternative is invasive surgery, which carries serious risks, especially for frail patients.” Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams is confident the appeal target will be reached. “We are very fortunate to have such an active and engaged community who genuinely care about their local healthcare services. Every dollar will make a difference and all donations over $2 are tax deductible.” To donation online visit peninsulahealth.org.au

Business as usual – RDNS CLIENT services formally provided by nurses at the former Royal District Nursing Service offices at Rosebud and Frankston are now being handled from Moorabbin. The service has given assurances that the change will not affect “service levels”. A revamp of RDNS operations across the state has also led to the loss of 45 full time nursing positions. The RDNS says there were no forced redundancies at Rosebud or Frankston offices, although seven management staff “chose to take redundancies rather than work within the new structure”. Australian Nursing and Midwives Federation Victorian branch secretary Lisa Fitzpatrick said the union had “given our full support to RDNS

members who have been affected by the major staffing changes, including redundancies”. “While we cannot give specific redundancy numbers for Rosebud and Frankston, overall the RDNS in Victoria has lost about 23 full time senior nurse positions and 22 full time equivalent Grade 4 registered nurse positions.” Ms Fitzpatrick said the RDNS expected the Grade 3 district nurse specialised role to take on a broader focus as a care manager. “This will see about 24 full time Grade 3 registered nurses moved to the lower positions.” The future of the Rosebud wound clinic – which describes itself as “providing vital home nursing care for local communities since 1885” - is still under negotiation with Peninsula Health.

Budget’s $80m blow to port The previous Liberal-led coalition established the authority in January 2012 to plan for a new international container port. The authority is responsible for managing existing trade at the Port of Hastings through an agreement with Patrick Ports Hastings, although the number of ships visiting the port has dropped in the past few years. The authority’s website says round 100-150 vessels are recorded at the port each year, ranging in size up to 100,000 tonnes. However, the reality is that the port has seen a decline in visits by big ships from about 200 in 2010-2011 to an expected 50 this year. The authority also has “principles” which include caring for the environment and partnering with the community. These principles could go part way to explaining why between eight and 11 of the authority’s staff, including its CEP Mike Lean (on at least one day), were available last to plant mangroves in mudflats near Lang Lang. On Monday five of the authority’s staff were helping on mudflats near Grantville. “In a one line budget entry the Andrews government siphoned off the

Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au THE future of the Port of Hastings Development Authority is in doubt following the failure of the state government to refinance its operations in last week’s budget. Hastings MP Neale Burgess has accused the government of “siphoning off” $80 million that should have gone to the authority’s operations. He said the “disturbing and cynical move” was a “further betrayal” from the Labor government which had provided no new funding for the area. “Just five months ago the Port of Hastings was building a real future for our community, already providing more than 100 jobs and preparing to provide thousands more over the coming years,” Mr Burgess said. “Now the Port of Hastings Development Authority is just a shell, with the majority of the jobs gone and with Labor delivering the final blow this week by clawing back the remaining $80m of the project’s funding. “This disgraceful decision is a major blow for jobs, businesses and the economy in the Western Port area and the south east region.”

Tied up: Tugs operating out of Stony Point are being required less and less with the dimnishing the number of large ships using the Port of Hastings. Picture: Keith Platt

More jobs are likely to go after Monday’s (18 May) meeting of the development authority’s board, with one insider putting staffing levels down to as low as 10. Neither the Ports Minister Luke Donnellan or the Port of Hastings Development Authority answered questions emailed by The News.

On Monday morning the authority said it had forwarded the questions to the government. Within 90 minutes it sent another email: “The Port of Hastings Development Authority has received funding in the budget to continue to manage the day-to-day operations of the port and to facilitate bulk opportunities.”

Patrick’s milestone PATRICK Marshall is the newest member of The 100 club. The club is for Justices of the Peace who have provided expert services at the document signing station in Division 4 – which takes in all the Mornington Peninsula - a minimum of 100 times. Mr Marshall - a former teacher at what is now Chisholm Institute of Tafe - became a JP in 1995 and has assisted students and staff in this role in his later years of teaching. As student services manager, he counselled students on personal issues, provided them with assistance in buying class materials though student loans, and helped them with career choices. After seeing an article in a local paper calling on Justices of the Peace to assist at Frankston police station’s document signing centre, he volunteered there, and at Carrum police stations, in January 2009. Mr Marshall’s community service includes being a charter member of Hampton Park Lions Club and

remaining $80m from our port,” Mr Burgess said. “Even though they said they were going to take independent advice on where to build our state’s second container port from Infrastructure Victoria and go ahead with it within 12 months of taking government - now just six months away - in this budget they’ve cynically clawed back the PoHDA money and stopped the work that even the greenest groups thought was of the highest quality and vital. “As the budget surplus is only built on the [abandoned] Commonwealth EWL [East West Link] funding, clearly the $80 million that belongs to this community has gone elsewhere; maybe even to pay not to build a badly needed road.” Mr Burgess said the Labor government’s attitude towards the Hastings area was in stark contrast towards the “hundreds of millions of dollars were poured into badly needed upgrades to local infrastructure and services”. This spending had included $110m for port development; $16.3m for a new Somerville police station; $4m for a Somerville technical college; $900,000 for the Hastings jetty; and $81m for Frankston Hospital.

serving six years as a councillor at Cranbourne, including a term as shire president. The Royal Victorian Association of Honorary Justices Mornington Peninsula Branch’s Ian Lyons, JP, said Mr Marshall was dedicated to

his role as a JP and to his work in the community and at the two document signing centres. “He is always willing to do an extra shift in an emergency, it is most appropriate that he became a valued member of The 100 Club.”

Club member: Senior Sergeant Brett Coloe presents Patrick Marshall with his The 100 Club certificate. Frankston coordinator and founder of the club, Bob Bolch, centre, looks on.

IT’S that time of the year when caged bird fanciers flock to Skye for Mornington Peninsula Aviculture Society’s annual bird sale and expo, and protesters gear up to oppose it. The show has been running for more than 30 years but recent times have seen animal liberationists vent their displeasure about the whole concept of caged birds. The show starts at 9.30am on Sunday 31 May at the State Dog Centre, 655 Western Port Hwy, Skye, and includes traders exhibiting cages, foods, seeds and bird accessories. Other aspects include birds on display, a vet providing surgical sexing, microchipping, health checks and general advice on birdkeeping of common budgerigars and canaries, parrots, finches, doves, quail, and exotic species. A society spokesman said all sellers and purchasers have to abide by a strict code of practice. Admittance is $2, children under 8 free of charge. Details www.mpas. webs.com or call 0428 518 646.

LETTERS Bogan backlash You won't increase your real estate advert sales if you publish that style of front page headline article (‘Bookie mean street call’, The Times 11/5/15). Riling up the Frankston "bogans" is just plain tabloid. Any chance of a page 3 girl next week? Your page 8 back down doesn't suffice. But keep on trying, 'cos' if you're lucky, you may end up working for The Age, before it goes broke. Michael Connolly, Frankston

Port budget blow Port of Hastings Development Authority CEO Mike Lean addressed a meeting I attended on Tuesday 13 May. Brandishing a copy of the Western Port News of 12 May, Mr Lean’s terse opening comment was that the article was “factually incorrect”. Having now read the article, I can’t understand his accusation. Mr Lean said the authority would no longer be managing plans for a second container port at Hastings and that task was now in the hands of Infrastructure Victoria. He confirmed that future staff numbers would be determined at next Monday’s board meeting; that the authority was still funded (but did not reveal the allocation) to explore opportunities to expand bulk port facilities at Hastings; and that although other specialist studies would cease, hydrodynamic studies would continue. So, both he and The News confirm that the authority’s role has been reduced to managing day to day operations and exploring bulk port expansion opportunities. It all looks factually comparable to me. As for Hastings MP Neale Burgess’s opinion that removing $80 million of funding was a disgraceful decision - we had an election. Like it or not, Victorians elected a government whose clearly expressed policy was to have Infrastructure Victoria advise on the best location for Victoria’s second container port. So, why fritter away another $80 million on studies in Western Port? Although Mr Burgess invokes support for his utterances from “even the greenest groups”, I doubt any environmentalists would support wasting taxpayer funds on pointless studies, and neither should Mr Burgess. Jenny Warfe, Dromana Editor: The article ‘Budget’s $80m blow to port’ is on Page 10. The Port of Hastings Development Authority has not responded to an email inviting comment from its CEO Mike Lean.

Government policy It looks as if finally a government in Australia is doing what it said before it got elected. The Victorian state

government seems to keep to its preelection slogan: no port extension for Hastings (‘Budget’s $80m blow to port’, Page 10). I would like to congratulate it for not wasting any more money on the Port of Hastings Development Authority and put the money to some much needed use somewhere else. With the Abbott federal government reneging on the $1.5 billion infrastructure money to help with chronic traffic issues in Melbourne, the state government needs to find money where it can. It's a pity that it was not possible to leave a little of this money for further environmental work around Western Port, that is if [Hastings MP Neale] Burgess’s crocodile tears are to be believed. I hope Peter Rawlings didn't do himself any harm, sitting on the fence in regards to children in detention (‘Christian arrests in Hunt’s den’, The Times 11/5/15). However much he defends his [Liberal] party and blames the opposition for this self inflicted dilemma for Australia, the fact remains that there are still 227 children in our concentration camps. This number was quoted by [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt. Even one child in a detention centre is too much. The other fact is that the Human Rights Commission made the government aware of this unacceptable fact many months ago and was attacked fiercely by the government for it's "boldness" to speak out for the vulnerable. I think kids in detention are much more uncomfortable and probably damaged for life than Peter Rawlings straddling the fence. Close all these camps and stop blaming the victims of our foreign policy. When a group of concerned Christians tried to get some action on the disgraceful imprisonment of children in our concentration camps for refugees, they where dragged away from Mr Hunt’s office by police at the behest of his staff and, one can only presume, Mr Hunt himself. So much for democracy in Flinders. As usual, Mr Hunt in the true Liberal way, blamed the messenger and tried to blacken their motives by asking why they didn't protest about the drowning of African refugees trying to get to Europe. At least in Europe children don't end up in concentration camps almost indefinitely, like here. Shame Mr Hunt, you're losing us down here on the peninsula at a great pace.

A la votre: Here’s cheers for Keith Stevens in April when presented with the Legion of Honour by the French Honorary Consul General, Myriam Boisbouvier-Wylie.

Another loss for Bomber Command WORLD War II survivor Keith Stevens once remarked that he did not get too upset when things went wrong in business, or life, because of the situation he found himself in after being shot down during a night bombing raid over France. “I always look back to the time when I was shot down and was sitting under a tree in a foreign country – an enemy occupied country – and I didn’t know the language, and I had nothing to eat. I look back at that and think nothing could get as bad as that. Life could never get as bad as that, so it’s the only way to have a happy life.” Mr Stevens, whose remarkable war record was recounted in ‘A new honour for Bomber Command veteran’ (The Times 21/4/15), died on Anzac Day.

His funeral at Rosebud on 6 May was attended by many of the staff and residents of the Village Glen, where he and his wife Anita had lived since 1988. The service reflected the fondness Mr Stevens had formed for France and its people during those dark months in 1944: a bottle of French champagne sat on the coffin and songs by Edith Piaf were played over the sound system. Late in 2014 the French president awarded him the highest level of chevalier (or knight) of the French Legion of Honour for “… risking your life for the liberation of our country 70 years ago”. The presentation, delayed when he was hospitalised by a fall, took place on Thursday 16 April when the Honorary Consul-General of France

in Melbourne went to the Ti Tree aged care centre in Rosebud. The article featuring Mr Stevens DFM in the special Anzac Day editions of the Mornington Peninsula News Group papers reported that he joined the RAAF in 1940, trained as a wireless operator and rear gunner and subsequently flew 62 operations in a Lancaster with Bomber Command before being shot down over occupied France. Once on the ground, he worked with, and was hidden by, the French Resistance movement before escaping back to England. Of all the stories which have appeared in our newspapers over the past decade, this one has prompted the greatest response from our readers. Peter McCullough

least of all Swami Shankarananda himself. However, he is still a wonderful teacher and has been a compassionate champion to many. The amount of help he has given to many over the years is amazing and always given in a spirit of love and generosity. It is also worth noting that many of these people leveling accusations against him, willingly stayed for many years. During this time, they appeared very happy to be in his presence. If the situation was so bad and damaging to them, why was their demeanor always so joyous and why didn't they leave? Their claims of fear and guilt just don't fit the way they acted at the time they were there.

Accusations of overbearing control are also strongly denied by the many ashramites we have spoken to. In fact, it appears most of the control was by someone who was at the forefront of the accusations and this went against the wishes of Swami Shankarananda and Devi Ma. It is individual choice whether to stay or go, but continual attacks on those choosing to continue are both cruel and unnecessary, both to the individuals and the ashram community. BJ and TJ Bateman, Bentleigh East

write of my positive experience of him and his work. I have attended programs at the ashram in Mt Eliza for over 13 years and during this time I have always witnessed Swamiji to be a man of great compassion, wisdom and knowledge. He has always encouraged people to find their inner light, their power and live from that space. I wish to keep practising his wonderful teachings and be left in peace to do so. I believe the light should be turned on his attackers and what they stand to gain by their campaign of hatred, vitriol and greed. Cheryl MacDonald, Mt Eliza

Praise for swami I have been greatly upset by the vilification of Swami Shankarananda in recent times and feel compelled to

NEWS

The information you need to buy or sell

How to understand property cycles ‘Over the long term property values increase’ Understanding property cycles is one of the biggest challenges in real estate. Many novice investors believe that having read a few articles on the subject or done some basic research they know what is involved. However, property cycles are not as straightforward as some authors would have investors believe. The key to investing in real estate is timing. As any experienced stock market or property investor will tell you, it’s all but impossible to pick when a market has peaked or bottomed. There are always those who will tell you they ‘picked the top of the market’ or ‘got it right when it bottomed’. But, the reality is, it rarely happens. I nstead, experienced investors try to pick a trend, whether a market is rising or falling. For a property investor to accurately pick the trends, they need to know what a property cycle is. Property cycles in Australia generally last between seven to 10 years. They operate within the broader economy and are subject to and inÁuenced by those factors that are impacting on the economy as a whole. Those factors include interest rates, inÁation and employment. And of course that immeasurable factor – market conÀdence. It is true that the underlying force driving the property market is a growing population. So, what you see in a rising market is that the demand for housing is on the increase, that there is a shortage of both rental accommodation and established and new housing. According to the standard texts on property markets, the rules of supply and demand then come into play and investors and property developers step in to meet the demand by buying and building more homes. The reality is that other factors such as interest rates are the real arbitrators of whether or not that new investment takes place. What we are seeing at the moment is a classic example of a real estate market that is very active on the back of low interest rates. Providing the interest rates remain low, the market should continue to rise. Currently Australians are enjoying record low interest rates and there is no sign of a rise on the horizon.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Train service to remain the same Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE secretary of the Frankston Football Club acknowledges with thanks a donation of £1 1s from Mr Booth. *** MR S. S. Price, dentist, of Melbourne, wishes it known that he will attend at Garroods’ Hotel, Frankston, this week-end, for the convenience of those who may wish to consult him. *** THREE of Miss O. Sherlock’s pupils were successful in the musical examinations for May, held by the Musical Society of Victoria. Among the names of the students who have passed are: Honors in piano, Pass in Theory, Willmott Croskell. Pass in Piano, Dorothea Thornell, and Florence Vines. *** THE married ladies of the Frankston Methodist Church have proved their ability to run a social evening. Judging from the finished style which was everywhere in evidence on Friday night last, it was not the first social they have had a hand in. On account of not having advertised long enough, the attendance was not as large as it otherwise would have been, but the sum of £1 17s was taken for the Church Organ Fund, for which object the effort was made. A new organ for the church was urgently needed, and since being installed has made things much pleasanter for everybody concerned, and to pay for it the church people have decided to hold socials now and again, to raise funds. Sixpence was all that was asked for

admission, and included a splendid programme of songs and recitations, and a first class supper. Mrs Jackson presided, and before closing the entertainment, called upon Mr Corlett to move a vote of thanks, as there was not a married lady present who had not helped, in some way, to make the evening a success. Mr Jackson seconded the motion, and thanked all who had contributed towards the evening’s enjoyment, including Mrs Malcom, Mrs M’Cormack, Mrs Lawrey, Mrs Thompson, and Miss Sherlock. The married men have volunteered to see the next social through, and it has been fixed for some time next month, when it is to be hoped their efforts will be crowned with success. *** A MEETING of the members of the Frankston Patriotic Committee was held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening, Dr Maxwell in the chair. The meeting was poorly attended, owing to the inclement weather. On the minutes of last meeting being confirmed, Dr Plowman (hon treasurer) read a statement of the state of the finances which showed that after the last meeting there was a balance in hand of £1 3s 8d, since then there has been collected £80 5s 2d, making a total in hand of £81 8s 10d. Dr Plowman said that all the amounts received had been acknowledged through the ‘Standard,’ but he had received 10s from a gentleman at the train one morning just as it

was leaving, and when he came to enter it he had forgotten the donor’s name so he had entered it as ‘Unknown.’ The only expenses incurred was 25s for postage and printing. He suggested that £50 be forwarded to the Belgian Fund out of the money in hand. The chairman said that it was for the meeting to decide how much would be sent. He thought the whole of the £80 was earmarked for that fund. Captain Sherlock suggested that £60 be sent, and moved to that effect. Se- conded by Mrs Deane, and carried, Captain Sherlock, on behalf of the ladies’ committee said they were still pegging away, and though might not be able to send in as much as they did before, they would forward what they could to the treasurer of the fund. Mr C. P. Watson, on behalf of Master Bachelor Garrood (3 years old) handed in £4, contents of his money box, to be given to the Belgian Fund. Dr Plowman here stated that he had received up to date for the fund the handsome sum of £242 7s 3d. Hearty votes of thanks were passed to the following for their efforts in raising funds :Mrs Lewis, Miss Trenoweth, Mrs Dial, Langwarrin Tennis Club, Ladies Collecting Committee, and Master B. Garrood. A meeting of the Presentation Com- mittee was held immediately after the above meeting, when the treasurer (Dr Plowman) reported that

after the last lot of watches and medals had been paid for and all other expenses met, there was a balance in hand of £7 2s 2d. The proceeds of the last concert am- ounted to £11 10s 2d. It was resolved, on the motion of Cr Oates, seconded by Mr Young, that the presentation of souvenirs to several other of the residents who had enlisted from this district be held over till the next public presentation. *** THE tender of Messrs Watt and Mathierson, Sorrento, of £352 15s 9d has been accepted, for repairs to jetty and approaches, at Portsea. *** OWING to the rain on Monday evening the entertainment to have been given by “Linco” the Master Magician, in the Frankston Hall, was postponed till this (Saturday) evening, when it is to be hoped the weather will prove more favorable, as we understand the entertainment is well worth seeing, and has only to be seen to be appreciated. *** NEXT Monday (Empire Day) the children at the Frankston school will be entertained in the school grounds in the afternoon and in the evening an up-to-date picture show will be given by Mr Alex Gunn, of Melbourne,in the hall, to which they will be admitted for the small sum of one penny, adults being charged 6d. any surplus to go towards the Belgian fund. The doors will be opened at 7 o’clock and pictures show at 7 30 sharp. ***

MR Frank Church, one of the best known and respected residents of the Langwarrin district, passed away peacefully, at the Alfred Hospital, on Saturday evening last, May 15th. Deceased, who was 47 years of age, had resided in this district for the last 30 years, and by his thorough integrity and fine genuine character, had earned the respect of the whole community, and much regret is felt by all who knew him at his death, at so early an age. *** THE train service on the Mornington and Stony Point line is, the Railway Commissioners told a deputation from the Federated Progress Associations of Mornington Peninsula on Tuesday, considered to be ample for present requirements. They explained that they could not run the morning train to Melbourne and the evening train from Melbourne express north of Frankston, because this would necessitate additional trains, which present conditions by no means justified. With the advent of electrification they hoped to be able to arrange through runs over longer distances than at present. They were considering a request made some time ago for an additional train about midday between Frankston and Mornington. They promised to send an officer of the department to the district to inquire into the suggestion to establish a flag station between Crib Point and Bittern.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A right royal stuff up By Stuart McCullough WHAT a wasted opportunity. Naming a child after its grandparents and great grandmother can’t help but feel like a massive compromise; one where the potential for something truly, mindblowingly awesome was squandered. Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. I suppose, as far as names go, they’re all right. But they’re hardly going to set the world on fire, are they? How about something a little more memorable? Like Dakota, Madison, Blaze or Lolita. Honestly, it’s as though the Duke and Duchess have never been to Moe. The least they could have done is throw in a random ‘z’ or silent ‘ph’ somewhere. Just to make things interesting. I get it – they’re aiming for something along more traditional lines. That’s fine, but it’s still no excuse for being boring. Too much monarchy and not nearly enough anarchy for my liking. But there are still great traditional options available if you’re willing to go a little further back in time. Bathsheba for example, is as traditional a royal name as you’re ever going to find. So too is Jezebel. Granted, there’s a long queue for the throne and (barring some Westeros-style hi-jinks) her chances of ever becoming Queen are slim at best, but there are plenty of splendid names for Princesses there for the taking. You can’t tell me that the world wouldn’t loved another Princess Buttercup, especially since the first one was fictional and has since married the President.

Princesses Fiona and Bubblegum are both wonderful role models, notwithstanding that they’re both cartoons. Or, if you prefer your princesses real, Princess Leia would have made a lot of nerds very, very happy. Or, if you really want to bring the multitudes with you, surely Xena would have been an inspired selection. But no dice. In fact, as I understand it, Beyonce wasn’t even on the short-

list. That’s a snub, if ever there was. Good luck convincing Jay-Z to perform at the christening. It was, so we were told, a very special day for our country. I beg to differ. If it were an event of any real significance, chances are the child would have been given a traditional Australian name. Like Beryl or Shazzamataz. Maybe even Edna. I once knew a girl called Debbie who was an amateur magician and traded

under the name ‘Abracadebra’. Honestly, what’s the point of being part of the British Empire if they’re not going to throw us the occasional bone in the baby-naming department? The fault, clearly, lies with the parents. They ought to be the last people allowed to name their own child. You’d have thought that after the debacle that was ‘George Alexander Louis’, their families would have intervened. Even the mere fact of three names rather than the regular two is grounds enough for a check-up from the authorities. These kinds of important decisions should not be left to two people who, frankly, are probably a little emotional. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that this is the kind of situation that SMS phone polls were invented for. Now that child number two is here, I’m beginning to suspect they’re not giving my suggestions even the slightest consideration. I’ll admit I was a little crushed when, presumably because they both like Seinfeld but ‘Kramer’ was a little too out there; they named their first-born ‘George’. I still maintain that ‘Vincent’ was a great suggestion. Traditional, but not too obvious. Besides, having a ‘Prince Vince’ would have been great for everyone concerned. Or, if wanting something a little more low key, they could have avoided giving the young prince a name at all and just identified him with a symbol. It has to be said the response to the entire blessed event has been kind of

absurd. To be honest, I’m not sure why anyone’s fussed. I mean, good luck to them, and all, but it does seem as though the reaction slightly outweighs the significance of the occasion. Chances are, more column inches will be expended in this country on the fact that George now has a little sister than were needed to cover the entire British election. There’s a whole range of magazines that have gone absolutely, stone-cold berserk. Perspective, people; that’s all I’m saying. Sometimes I wonder if our unwillingness to sever the final, fragile cords to the Mother Country is based on an irrational fear that it will adversely impact the women’s magazine market. That’s not an especially sound basis on which to make your constitutional arrangements, but there you have it. Now that I think about it, we don’t have to put up with this kind of nonsense. We, the people, have a right to choose the names of those who will lord over us in a kind of feudal hangover that makes North Korea look progressive. The revolt starts here. Strap yourself to your device of choice and make your feelings known as loudly as possible. With one, united voice, let us declare and almighty, ‘thanks, but no thanks’ to Princess Charlotte and a hearty ‘congratulations and welcome to the world’ for the latest addition to the right-Royal brood, Princess Muffin-Fingers Supreme. Long may she reign. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Frankston Times 18 May 2015

A Grain of Salt THE “I’m sorry” 2015 budget, delivered by Doctor Jekyll (Joe Hockey) after banishing his alter ego Mr Hyde in favour of a Liberal re-election. Money slashed from the arts (who cares?) and overseas aid; again who cares? My pension stays firm, but it was never going to change before 2017 and let’s be honest, cost increases for prescriptions and the like will reduce its value anyway. *** The Libs have always trumpeted the “better for small businesses” mantra without evidence of this fallacy, or more accurately being no better or worse than Labor, so it’s nice to see the supposed proof in the pudding. Not sure if it will give them extra votes. In all my years I rarely came across a small business owner who voted Labor, more a case of looking after their own. I recall many a discussion as a lad with small business owners on their perceived advantages with the Liberals, eventually abandoning the cause to save my voice. *** There are many things we can blame Billy Shorten for if inclined: sucking up to anything pro-USA, seconding Tony’s new security laws, conveniently ignoring those poor lost souls in detention facilities (Pacific Solution?) never forgetting the certainty that Billy, if ever elected PM, would retain negative gearing, family trusts and superannuation concessions. However, it’s surely time for Tony Abbott to say something, anything, without the Labor blame tail at the end? Prediction, assuming Abbott vs Shorten: Tonto Tony WILL win the next election. *** Aside from former foreign minister

Frankston Times 18 May 2015

Alexander Downer’s holier than thou puffed up (ruling class) pronouncements on Schapelle Corby and the Bali 9 back in 2006 and the inexcusable actions of our Australian Federal Police in dobbing rather than arresting them in Australia, I’ve ignored it all. Another long sad story inviting thousands of opinions here and in Indonesia. An opportunity for politicians to say what they think will have popular appeal, to be in the news, in our faces. A big difference between Downer back then and our present Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, but who can really tell? Political nonsense, hypocrisy reigns. I prefer a good detective movie. We get some answers and they catch the guilty scoundrel. Reading between the lines is one thing; reading between thousands, mostly half-truths at best, is impenetrable. *** The Chinese government is cracking down on the practice of hiring strippers to perform at funerals, commonly hired to attract more mourners and bring good fortune to the deceased person in the afterlife; at some of $415 per event. Apparently people are dying to see them. Strippers (and pole dancers) have always been a mystery to me. I’ve seen them on television obviously, but why would customers give them money? Silly old/young men. Assuming an afterlife it may be worth a look-see; better still audition the strippers before God steps in? *** When King Ferdinand of Aragon sent colonies of immigrants to the Indies in the 16th century he made the wise stipulation that no one should be included who had studied jurisprudence, lest lawsuits should

pollute the New World. He judged (with Plato) to furnish a country with lawyers and doctors is a bad action. Nowadays those gentlemen would include psychologists surely? *** Why is publisher Anne Summers forever carrying on about the Church disallowing females into leading roles in the world’s major religions? Something about keeping women in their place? Maybe in some countries, but not in my world. No mention of the influence of females in our television industry and particularly the ABC, nor of the female situation in the Uniting Church. I have no objection to a female becoming a Pope or in any other position of consequence. The result would be no different than male domination. More ladies toilets, perhaps. *** Following on, we have this seemingly urgent involvement of a Sex Discrimination Commissioner in sport, particularly AFL and NRL? “Gender asbestos”, as in male domination being good for nobody and (I gather) excluding women from high levels of sport? A change for the better, an impact across society, the potential to create change in the nation, meaningful change, change the dynamics. Nobody denies the success of the Australian women’s cricket team, netball, basketball, cycling, never forgetting tennis and swimming, but these fine words coming from our Commissioner (Elizabeth Broderick) are surely way over the top. We wait and watch her AFL “men on board” as in Matt Finnis at St Kilda, David Matthews at GWS, Gary Pert at Collingwood and Brendon Gale at

By Cliff Ellen Richmond, as they plot their course for the AFL and our change for the better, whatever that means. *** The Southern Peninsula Community Care people provide transport (for a small donation) to anywhere on the Mornington Peninsula (and further) for residents seeking medical appointments; doctors, dentists, physios or hospitals. Volunteer drivers. They arrive on time, wait for the duration of the appointment and return the client to doorstep. Call 5986 5255. *** The Rye CCTV saga is already a decade long. Why is the council not coming good, similar to the partnership with the state government for Hastings CCTV, albeit after a 2 year wait in dealing with United Energy? Mind you, anyone who has had dealings with United Energy will know it’s easier to deal with Indonesia.

*** WADA yada yada yada...Coming“Terror suspect caught peeing in a public place”?...Charlotte-not the best name for rhyming slang... Strange how millionaire Mick Malthouse complains how tough life can be… Danny’s public transport; a 2 hour trip to Frankston, 21 new rail carriages and Bob’s your uncle; merci mate...

Pythons on the slide PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt PINES continued its slide down the Peninsula Division ladder after copping a hiding at the hands of Frankston YCW on Saturday. The Pythons started the year in superb fashion and won its opening four games of the season, however, it is starting to realise that the powerhouses of the competition have a little more to offer. Mornington was able to touch the Pythons up last week and it was Frankston YCW’s turn to give them a bit of stick on Saturday. Coming off a loss against Langwarrin the previous week, the Stonecats again started slowly in their match against Pines. The Stonecats trailed at quarter time before kicking seven goals to one behind in the second quarter to open up a commanding 38 point lead. The second half saw the visitors kick seven goals to four to record a 16.21 (117) to 8.7 (55) victory. Anthony Bruhn booted six goals for the winners to give him 24 for the season, while Dave Bodley took his season tally to 18 with four majors. Kevin Lylak in his second game back was again one of the Stonecats’ best while Paul Minchington played his best game for his new club. Guy Hendry was outstanding for the Pythons with four goals and his brother Beau was also at the top of his game. It was hard to find many other good performers across the match though, although Paul McLeanWilson tried hard. Despite two heavy losses in a row, Pines still sit in third position on the ladder. Mornington maintains its position in second place on the table after a solid 23 point win against Edithvale-Aspendale. What we are seeing at the moment is that there are two sides (Mt Eliza and Mornington) flexing their muscles against those sides that we believe are good enough for the finals but not ready to challenge for the title. The Dogs laid the foundation for the win with a five goal to one first quarter. To Edithvale’s credit, they rallied and were able to restrict the home side’s onslaught and keep them to six goals apiece after the first change. Emilio Bitters and Michael Gay in the ruck were outstanding for Mornington while Steve Mannix and Matt Clark shared the top votes for the Eagles. Edithvale coach Graeme Yates said that his club was going through a transition phase and that consistency would be the biggest challenge this season.

“We lost a lot of players in the off season and while we have the nucleus, we have a lot of young boys who are trying the find their way,” Yates said. “We are a young side learning but I think we are very capable of playing finals and that’s the aim.” Langwarrin picked up where it left off last week against Frankston YCW and booted eight goals to one in the opening quarter to blow Seaford away by almost ten goals. The Tigers were able to boot 13 goals to Langwarrin’s 15 after the first change but the damage was well and truly done at that point, going down 23.12 (150) to 14.9 (93). Gerard Brown continued his outstanding season for the Kangas with five goals to have 18 for the year while Matt Naughton kicked four resting forward. Naughton has been rewarded for his season with an interleague call up. However, it was a couple of recruits who stamped their mark on the club. Dale Binks, formerly of Tyabb, was outstanding for the winners, as was former Yabbies’ skipper Ethan Rahilly. Travis Baldock was fantastic too for the winners after crossing from Chelsea Heights. Ricki Johnston is in career best form, which is why he is in the leadership group of the interleague side. Rourke Fischer, fresh from playing at Collingwood in the VFL last week, was again Seaford’s best player, while Chris Fortnam and Luke Smith also worked hard. Mt Eliza didn’t get things all their own way against Chelsea, winning 15.11 (101) to 11.6 (72). The margin was 29 points in favour of the Redlegs at quarter time but the Gulls were able to boot nine goals to eight after quarter time. Justin Van Unen booted four for the winners and Dave Willett and Scott Lockwood finished with three each, Darren Booth and Ben Landry were outstanding across four quarters. Hudson Thomas snagged four for the Seagulls while Jason Clark, Todd Gardiner, Alex Smout and Jayden Attard were among the best players on the ground. The Gulls went into the game without coach Brent Guerra, who is suffering from a hand injury. Bonbeach won its third match of the season, beating Karingal 19.18 (132) to 9.6 (60). Chris Bryan and James Maxwell booted three each for the Sharks while another ten players kicked goals. Blake Simpson kicked four for the Bulls and was clearly among his team’s best, while Aaron Lees was also superb once again.

Eagles fly high as Blues stumble NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt HASTINGS dropped from second place on the Nepean Division leader to fourth after being overrun by Somerville on Saturday. It was the first loss of the season for the Blues and once again highlighted how close the top teams of the competition were. After trailing by 14 points and being kept goalless in the opening term, the home side hit back in the second and led by seven points at the main interval. Luke Clark, who finished the afternoon with five majors, started to get his hands on it in attack and Josh Mulheron began to get on top in the middle of the ground. The third quarter was an arm wrestle with the Blues maintaining their ascendancy. Paul Rogasch and Lance Brouwer, along with Kain Stratton, were doing wonderful work in defence for the Blues and Luke Hewitt was proving to be a handful in the forward half of the ground. At the last change, Hastings had its nose in front 6.7 (43) to 5.7 (37). Somerville was rumoured to be going into the game without prime mover Tim McGennis, however, he took his place. Adrian Ridout came straight back into the team after three quarters in the reserves. He missed four weeks with a hamstring. Cal Dixon also played his first game in a number of weeks after looking to be out of favour. The Eagles needed to find something in the last quarter and they did, booting five goals to two to run out 10.8 (68) to 8.12 (60) winners. The Blues squandered opportunities in the final 25 minutes, booting five behinds. Ben Sedgewick was again at the top of his game for the Eagles with another outstanding performance in defence, while Dixon showed his capabilities through the middle of the ground. Scott Simpson turned around an average performance last week to be one of the Eagles’ best and Jedd Sutton was again one of his team’s best performers. The Eagles are looked upon as a bit of a glamour side, however, they have a defensive quality and a hunger that people underestimate. Against Red Hill, Sorrento and Hastings, the Eagles have been required to find a little extra, get up off the deck and fight. They have responded every time against quality opposition. The Eagles have won four of their five games (only defeat was a shock loss to Pearcedale), however, sit in

fifth place on the ladder. Rosebud is nestled neatly in third place on the ladder after a commanding victory against Dromana. In a match that didn’t reach great heights and was marred by poor skill execution and turnovers, the Buds still remained the better of the two teams throughout the contest and recorded a 10.7 (67) to 6.15 (73) victory. Rosebud’s Tom Baker was the key difference between the sides with five of Rosebud’s ten goals. Jason Bristow and Rob Forrest set up the win with blistering first halves of footy. Each collected 26 possessions and although they faded in the second half, Ryan Spooner and Rhys Bancroft picked up the slack. Sam Kremich also did a superb job on the dangerous teenager Sam Fowler, who failed to hit the scoreboard.

The Buds control of the match was evident by the fact that they had 80 to 56 marks, while their run receives were also in their favour at 43-30. Inside 50’s were about equal though. The home side also had a lot more purpose taking the balI into their forward line, while the Tigers seemed to bang it in and hope. Matt Jones was outstanding for the Tigers, as was Terry Wheeler and Sam Guerts. Frankston Bombers made it two wins on the trot after easily accounting for Devon Meadows, 17.17 (119) to 10.13 (73). The Panthers again let themselves down with a poor first half and although fighting back in the second hour, the damage had already been done. Zac Longham was outstanding for

the winner with five goals. Sorrento got back on the winners list with a massive 28.14 (182) to 4.1 (25) victory over Tyabb. Leigh Poholke booted six goals for the winners, Nick Muller snagged four and a further nine players hit the scoreboard. Troy Schwarze was back from overseas and Ryan Jeffrey returned from suspension. Jon Croad and Daniel Grant were both missing but expected to be back next week. Miles Pitt heads overseas this week. Tyrren Head continued his dominant season, while Chris Morgan was dominant in the ruck. Tyson Sparkes and James Cottrell were the best of the Yabbies. Red Hill maintained its position at the top of the ladder with a 15.10 (100) to 5.14 (44) victory against Pearce-

dale. Hillmen coach Tony Blackford said after the game that the result wasn’t a reflection of the game. “It really wasn’t until the last quarter that we were able to shake them,” Blackford said. Michael Chaplin booted four for the winners and Matt Vagg kicked a couple against his old side. Rye sits in second place on the ladder after smashing Crib Point. The Demons were never challenged and recorded a 18.15 (123) to 11.6 (72) victory. The Magpies, who were so impressive last year with a grand final appearance, are now sitting in the bottom three with just one win and will not play finals in 2015.

Former AFL star sets the standard INTERLEAGUE By Toe Punt FORMER Richmond, North Melbourne and West Coast Eagles forward Aaron Edwards has cut short his Bali holiday so that he can represent his league at the country championships this weekend. Edwards had organised to go to Bali for a week, leaving last Sunday straight after the game against Frankston YCW, return on Saturday morning to play against Ovens and Murray. However, upon hearing that the

PAGE 36

Frankston Times 18 May 2015

team was travelling together by bus to Albury on Friday, Edwards rearranged his flights to ensure that he could join the team on the bus. Peninsula Division chairman of selectors, John Hynes, who played at Carlton, captained Frankston Dolphins and coached Edithvale-Aspendale, said Edwards’ commitment typified the dedication of the group in 2015. “The reality is that we were embarrassed by Geelong FL last season and we all learned lessons from that, from the top at league level right through to the players,” Hynes said. “We have picked a large squad and

the commitment level of them cannot be faltered. “A leadership group pretty much picked itself and they have driven the culture among the group – Aaron (Edwards) is one of those, along with the likes of Ricki Johnston and Warwick Miller. “The reality is that Peninsula Division is in the best three leagues in the state. If we lose this match, we drop to five or six, which isn’t good for us. “The players are committed to the cause and we will pick the absolutly strongest team we can. “The likes of Lachy Wallace and

Rourke Fischer (Collingwood VFL) are both right to go and we have some Frankston Dolphins who have filtered back. “Unfortunately we don’t have the likes of Ash Eames, Jimmy Messina and Anthony Barry (all injured) and Michael Gay (family holiday) but you can be assured we’ll be the best possible team. “That hasn’t always been the case in the past few years, despite the fact we have recorded some good results,” Hynes said. Nepean Division coach Ben Holmes said he too was excited about the com-

mitment level of his charges. “We picked a squad of around 70 and we have had 40-plus on the track every training session. That doesn’t include the guys who don’t train because they are a bit sore but come to training anyway,” Holmes said. “The commitment level is fantastic this year and I think the players, coaches and clubs need to take the credit. “We’re all looking forward to improving our ranking and breaking into that top 10,” Holmes said.
