Tree-mend-ous fun PUPILS from Frankston Heights Primary School celebrated Schools Tree Day on Friday (29 July) with activities at nearby Wallace Reserve. “Our school considers the environment an important aspect of our students’ education,� Principal Cheryl Clark said. “Our students learn about environment and sustainability practices through our school’s Science Program. Our school is very community minded and has established strong links with the Friends of Wallace Reserve and through them, the Frankston Environmental Friends Network. This year is the 10th anniversary of our involvement at Wallace Reserve.�

The Junior and Middle School students spent some of the day planting grasses and shrubs at Wallace Reserve, under the guidance of the Friends of Wallace Reserve, while the senior school students concentrated on planting native grasses and plants in the school grounds.

Several parents were also on hand to help supervise at the reserve. “The students walked down in class groups and after touring the reserve and looking at previous years’ planting, they donned their gardening gloves and planted and mulched a range of seedlings provided by Frankston Council’s Indigenous Nursery,�

Friends of Wallace Reserve secretary and Frankston Citizen of the Year David Cross said. “The Friends Group have spent several months weeding and preparing this years’ planting area.�

Bailed teens’ crime spree Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au SIX boys from the Frankston area – one aged just 11 – were last week arrested and charged with multiple aggravated burglaries, thefts of cars and committing offences while on bail.

Sergeant Andrew Payne, of Dandenong CIU, said the offences occurred in the early hours of Wednesday 27 July in the Cranbourne West area.

The Caucasian boys, who were all described as “friends and acquaintances�, range in age from 11-16.

They are from Seaford, aged 11, Langwarrin, 13, Frankston, 14, Skye, 15, Frankston North, 15, and Frankston, 16.

Four of the boys, including the 11-year-old, were remanded in custody until their children’s court appearances, which have yet to be determined.

been released pending further inquiries.

Frankston and Dandenong detectives in the Southern Metropolitan Regional Crime Team, part of Operation Comas, arrested the boys in an ongoing crime investigation later on the Wednesday the burglaries and car thefts occurred.

The boys, who are not believed to be gang members, allegedly stole a Range River and a Hyundai sedan, as well as a laptop, wallet and credit cards, after breaking into houses and stealing car

keys. The cars and credit cards have since been recovered, but not the laptop or wallets.

The boys were arrested after the Hyundai was spotted in Langwarrin on Wednesday.

On the same day, two 16-year-olds, of Frankston and Cranbourne East, were arrested on theft of motor car charges and remanded to appear at a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court at a later date.

Victoria Police has escalated its response to aggravated burglaries and

carjackings across the state. Operation Cosmas was rolled out in May drawing together investigators under the umbrella of Crime Command.

Detectives in each region have been allocated additional resources to prevent, deter and investigate aggravated burglaries and carjackings.

Day and night patrols are being conducted at high-risk locations to prevent offences taking place.

Since the operation began police have made more than 80 arrests.

Plan launched to slash suicide deaths A PLAN to halve Victoria’s suicide rate over the next decade by following up on hospital patients with mental health issues and increasing awareness in the community was launched by the state government in Frankston last week.

Premier Daniel Andrews visited Frankston Hospital last Thursday (28 July) to announce a $27 million program, funded in this year’s state budget, aimed at increasing workforce training, schoolbased support and mental health literacy program within several regions including Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.

Suicide was the cause of death of 646 people across Victoria last year, more than double the road toll of 257.

“For every suicide, there are many more people deeply affected – family, friends, carers, colleagues and communi-

ties. This is something we urgently need to change,” Mr Andrews said.

Peninsula Health welcomed the fouryear plan including the establishment of a new six-bed psychiatric unit at Frankston Hospital.

Peninsula Health advised there were 4215 admissions linked to mental health at Frankston Hospital in 2014-15, an average of about 80 patients per week.

“The ‘place-based approaches’ will allow us to implement new programs to ensure that all people presenting to our health service for care relating to selfharm or suicide attempts are identified and provided with intensive follow-up care,” Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams said.

Intensive community-based support trials for people who have attempted suicide

will be introduced soon in six locations.

The six areas - Mornington Peninsula/ Frankston, Brimbank/Melton, Whittlesea, Mildura, Latrobe Valley and Ballarat – were earmarked for suicide prevention programs based on the prevalence of suicide and population and community demographics according to the state government.

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said mental health “has been a key issue in our community for some time”.

“This investment will ensure we get the best support to those who need it most and most importantly, save lives.”  Support and information about suicide prevention can be obtained at Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467.

Take it as read for challenge THE annual Mayor’s Reading Challenge was launched at Carrum Downs Library last week with Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley hosting a special ‘Storytime’ event.

“Reading, talking and singing to children from a young age is critical to developing the literacy skills essential for a bright future,” Cr Dooley said.

“By helping children to develop a love for reading, we are giving them the best chance to do well at school.”

The reading challenge runs throughout the month of August and aims to encourage parents and carers to share

reading experiences with children aged 0-5 years.

All participants who sign up for the challenge to reach reading milestones throughout August receive a challenge bag with literacy and reading cards, a reading activity record and a ‘dive into reading’ balloon.

Three major prizes are up for grabs thanks to Robinson’s Book Store.

Call council on 9784 1020 or see library.frankston.vic. gov.au or visit a Frankston area library to learn more or register for the 2016 Mayor’s Reading Challenge.

POWER, VERSATILITY AND NOW A GREAT PRICE

POKIES losses across Frankston rose slightly in the past 12 months and still topped $63 million despite the introduction of voluntary precommitment cards for gamblers last year.

Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) figures for 2015-16, released last week, show Frankston municipality pokies players lost $62,900,685 over 12 months, up from $62,065,687 in 2014-15.

The Labor state government launched a $197 million YourPlay scheme in December last year allowing pokies players to preselect losses limits using a swipe card to gamble on poker machines.

Critics of YourPlay note gamblers can simply increase the preselected limit if they want to play on.

Uptake of the scheme has been slow. Just 8130 YourPlay cards have been registered and 15,274 casual cards are in circulation according to state government figures released in May. “The Andrews Labor government shares the community’s concerns about problem gambling. We are focused on reducing the harm caused by problem gambling,” Liquor and Gaming Regulation Minister Marlene Kairouz said.

“That is why we have invested $150 million over the next four years to support problem gambling services and YourPlay.

“Whilst gambling is a legitimate industry, we will continue to take

an evidenced based approach to addressing the harm caused by problem gambling.”

Upper House South Eastern Metropolitan region Greens MP Nina Springle says voluntary pre-commitment has failed to curb problem gambling.

“Pokie losses continue to grow bigger and bigger. Voluntary precommitment has had absolutely no effect, as predicted,” Ms Springle said.

“Pokie machines are designed by experts to be highly addictive, so it’s hardly a wonder that voluntary betting limits are having zero effect.

“The Andrews government and the Napthine government before them are all spin and absolutely no substance on dealing with problem gambling.”

The Greens MP said only mandatory pre-commitment would help problem gamblers.

Pokies punters in neighbouring Mornington Peninsula Shire and Kingston lost $82,381,143 and $83,473,105 respectively in 201516.

Pokies in Frankston became the subject of national media attention in April when the VCGLR, the state’s gambling regulator, controversally decided the Langwarrin Hotel’s offer to build a weatherproof children’s play area at the venue was a “significant reason” to approve an application for ten extra electronic gaming machines.

The Kubota RTV400 is super versatile, it tackles all terrain and packs huge towing power. And now, the RTV400 comes with a starting price of $13,800.

This is a limited offer, so get moving today.

Homestead where the heart is A COMMUNITY group working to historic farm buildings at Downâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Estate in Seaford have been given 18 months to show that a farm homestead and large shed should not be demolished.

The Downâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Estate Community Working Group (DECWG) received unanimous backing from councillors at this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public council meeting to begin work on â&#x20AC;&#x153;a community use projectâ&#x20AC;?.

The group hopes an indigenous bushfood garden and permaculture site can be established at Downâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Estate alongside an indigenous cultural trail.

DECWG representative Maureen Griffin told councillors at the meeting that the group wants to work to save the farm homestead, formerly occupied by renowned whip and saddlemaker Harry Down, and a large shed on the site.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to give it our best to shot to save the house for the historic value and the story it tells,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have worked extremely hard for four years and we have had excellent support from [council] officers for the last three months in particular. We will give it everything weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to make something for that house as well as that shed.â&#x20AC;?

A carport, outbuildings, water tank and windmill frame have been demolished due to being deemed unsafe.

The community groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members will now carry out maintenance and weeding at Downâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Estate and undertake a basic restoration of the shed if funds can be found.

Weeding to control Spiny Rush on the estate is done by council using Melbourne Water grant funds so the weed

does not enter the adjoining Ramsarlisted Seaford Wetlands.

Council officers recommended the DECWG become an incorporated entity to be eligible for council funding considered in future budgets.

Officers previously backed the demolition of the homestead and shed but councillors decided to give the DECWG more time to prove the buildings can be saved for community use (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Historic homestead savedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, The Times 7/3/16).

At this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting council officers again favoured demolishing the buildings but councillors backed an option to â&#x20AC;&#x153;retain the house for a further 18 months with the option to renovate it contingent on funding availability and the progress of the DECWG programâ&#x20AC;?.

Hospital â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hot spotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for preventable visits Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON has been identified as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hot spotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for preventable hospital admissions in a report by the Grattan Institute.

The think tank - based in Melbourne and partly funded by the federal and state governments, the University of Melbourne and BHP Billiton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; released its Perils of place: identifying hotspots of health inequality report last week naming Frankston as among 25 areas in Victoria where â&#x20AC;&#x153;potentially preventable hospitalisation rates at least fifty percent above the state average in every year for a decadeâ&#x20AC;?.

Grattan Institute health program director Stephen Duckett says the problem can be addressed,

but only if governments come up with targeted solutions for individual places. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Australia is not a uniform country and a onesize-fits-all approach will not work. Local, tailored policy responses are required,â&#x20AC;? Dr Duckett said in a statement.

Preventable hospital admissions and readmissions include patients seeking treatment for diabetes, dental conditions, skin infections and lung disease.

Peninsula Health community health general manager Ruth Azzopardi said Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula has an ageing population â&#x20AC;&#x153;that is likely to have a higher incidence of chronic diseasesâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a number of community programs in place to reduce readmissions of these clients.â&#x20AC;?

Girls night in

Dr Duckett says government and primary health networks must ensure all communities â&#x20AC;&#x153;get a fair goâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because persistent hotspots are rare, targeting them alone will not substantially reduce the growing burden of potentially preventable hospitalisations, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important first step,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The government will save money and, more importantly, some of the most disadvantaged Australians will get the chance to lead healthier, more productive lives.â&#x20AC;?

The Grattan Institute estimated at least $15 million a year would be saved in both Victoria and Queensland if preventable hospital admissions could be stopped with better health education and treatment before a hospital visit is needed.

LANGWARRIN Community Centre is holding a fun, free, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only event to publicise breast care and awareness. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on 7-9pm, Friday 5 August, at the centre, 2 Lang Rd, Langwarrin.

Science jobs for the girls

A CAREER in technology beckons for one of Patterson River Secondary College’s brightest mathematics and IT students, Jessika Du, who was invited to attend a University of Melbourne education camp for future engineers and IT professionals this month.

The 14-year-old from Patterson Lakes says she enjoyed the three-day Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine (STEMM) skills camp aimed at increasing female participation in the science and technology sectors.

Thirty girls attended the course from Victoria.

“I feel like I learned a lot of different skills in a lot of different engineering areas,” she said. “Being with people who are like-minded helped me develop life and people skills.

“I jumped into the program because it’s changed the way I think about engineering and IT. Hopefully I choose to go that way.

“In school we’re learning about pathways and choosing what you want to do.”

Programming and working with robots were two highlights of the threeday course.

About 75 per cent of fast-growing occupations require STEMM skills but only 16 per cent of high school graduates pursue degrees in STEMM disciplines according to the University of Melbourne.

Female representation in these fields is even lower with only 33 percent of tertiary qualifications being awarded to women in STEMM fields in 2011.

Police patrol

Bomb squad called to home DETECTIVES found a detonator and wiring near the front door of a Langwarrin house when they arrived to arrest a possible suspect, Wednesday 27 July.

Detective Senior Sergeant Miro Majstorovic, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, said police “thoroughly searched” the house in Tyrone St from 2.30-8pm, seizing allegedly

stolen property, including a rifle.

The occupant, 35, may have “done a runner” when police arrived as there was evidence he had been there immediately before the raid, they said.

The bomb squad was called into inspect the detonator and wiring, but it was found to be inert.

Forging new unions for rugby THE SPORT of rugby union may not be as popular as the AFL football powerhouse in Victoria but a Seaford-based club is spreading the word about the game in the south east.

Southern Districts Rugby Club will host Viva 7s Rugby at Rivera Park on Thursday 11 August, 6pm and are offering a ‘come and try session’ for 16 year olds and over to try the game.

The club also hopes to increase female participation in rugby union to reform a women’s 7s team after a threeyear gap.

“The game is a combined male and female exercise with seven players per side partaking in seven minute halves

game time,” club president Rob Hunter said.

Souths hosted a Masters Rugby tournament featuring eight clubs on Saturday (23 July).

“We had two father and son combinations with Ash and Karl Dix in the second row of the scrum and Fohe Tuipulotu and Melbourne Rebel son Sione combining in the centres,” Mr Hunter said. “Sione Tuipulotu recently returned from Manchester, England with the Australian Under 20 side which finished sixth at the Rugby World Championship.

“One place better than with his initial involvement with the team in Italy last year.”

Souths is the lone Dewar Shield team on the Mornington Peninsula and members come from as far south as Portsea, east to Casey and north through Kingston.

Three senior teams play in Dewar Shield top three grades.

Junior teams range from Under 6s through to under 16s.

“A major coup for the club is again hosting the Victorian Junior Grand Finals on Saturday 10 September after successfully staging the event the past two seasons,” Mr Hunter said.

Police car rammed A YOUNG hoon rammed a police car in Frankston North, 7.30pm, Sunday 24 July. Carrum Downs Senior Sergeant Ron Barbary said police were called to Tilia Ct after reports of teenagers “causing trouble”, but no one was arrested.

He said a Mercedes four-wheeldrive, possibly driven by a member of the group, did a U-turn and slammed into the side of the police car, causing up to $5000 damage.

The male driver – age unknown – sped off.

Sergeant Barbary said the car has been chased by police earlier in the evening in Langwarrin, but they had been unable to apprehend it.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident. They should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

POLICE patrolling known drug hotpots in Frankston boxed in a black Audi sedan and found a “large quantity of a white substance” in the early hours of Thursday 21 July.

Acting Sergeant Chris Nott, of Frankston police, said the haul was valued at “possibly a six figure sum”.

He said police were conducting a “coordinated intercept” – and looking for another, stolen, black Audi – when they chanced up on the drug deal.

He said a red hatch-back car of unknown make sped away from the scene when police swooped, 3am.

Four people were arrested: a 36-yearold man, 29-year-old woman, 26-year-old man, and a 49-year-old man, all from the Dandenong area.

Sergeant Nott said the group had been bailed but would be charged on summons to appear at Frankston Court on drug related matters.

Police raid motorcycle store in rebirthing investigation

On the waterfront: The new Yacht Club building is now open near Frankston beach. Picture: Gary Sissons

Cafe setback as Yacht Club opens THE completion of the $10.7 million new Frankston Yacht Club has been hailed as a “reinvigoration” of Frankston’s waterfront despite the last-minute collapse of negotiations to open a cafe and restaurant at the building.

Mayor Cr James Dooley said Frankston Council will go back out to tender to find an operator to lease the onsite restaurant and cafe.

“We are extremely disappointed that despite negotiating in good faith, council was unable to agree to the demands of the preferred tenderer,” he said.

“Upon negotiations breaking down, council moved swiftly and decisively to work on finding a new restauranteur, going back into the marketplace to ensure the restaurant and cafe remain the jewel in the crown of the new Yacht Club.

“We are fully aware of the community’s anticipation and expectation for a new vibrant waterfront dining

experience in Frankston which is why, despite this undesired setback, we are committed to achieving a good outcome for the entire Frankston community.”

The mayor said the new Yacht Club building “is a stunning addition to the waterfront precinct, architecturally designed to complement the landscape of the Frankston foreshore and the natural beauty of the bay, boasting a 5 Green Star energy rating, natural timber curve lines, significant decking overlooking the beach and car park facilities.”

Ratepayers funded the majority of the $10.7 million project with the federal government contributing $1.25 million and the state government pitching in about $333,000 of taxpayer funds.

A MOTORCYCLE dealership in Frankston was raided by police last week and two men are expected to face court in Sydney next month as part of an investigation into motorcycle rebirthing.

Strike force detectives from the New South Wales Property Crime Squad executed two search warrants at Braaap stores in Frankston and Launceston last Wednesday (27 July).

Police seized a punch stamp set, compliance labels, computers and documentation.

A 33-year-old man was arrested at the Launceston business and charged with four counts of fraud including dealing in proceeds of crime.

He appeared at Launceston Magistrates Court, where he was granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday 18 August.

Detectives arrested a 29-year-old man on Thursday 28 July who was charged with four counts of fraud.

He appeared at Melbourne Magistrates Court, where he was granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday 18 August.

Police allege the men were involved in the sale of up to 85 rebirthed motorcycles across Australia, including 35 sold in NSW. After the arrests, a further search warrant was executed at a business at Tullamarine where strike force detectives seized documents.

Property Crime squad commander, Detective Superintendent Murray Chapman, said vehicle rebirthing is a serious crime and potentially puts unsafe vehicles back on the road.

“NSW Police Force conducts regular investigations into organised vehicle theft and rebirthing to combat illegal activities, where industry lose out and the vehicles put the lives of innocent road users at risk.

“We will continue to work closely with law enforcement colleagues across Australia, and other agencies, to ensure offenders are identified and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

Det Supt Chapman congratulated Strike Force Ologhlen detectives and their interstate counterparts - including Victoria Police, Tasmania Police and Australian Border Force - for their collaborative efforts.

“This was an extensive and complex investigation, and all police involved have done an outstanding job,” he said.

“Their efforts have dismantled what we believe was a sophisticated and carefullyorchestrated motorcycle rebirthing syndicate, and we’re confident it has now been stopped in its tracks.

“As always, we would like to thank the community for their support and continue to encourage anyone with information concerning motorcycle or vehicle rebirthing to contact Crime Stoppers.

“If you want to, you can contact us anonymously. We don’t need to know who you are. All we need is the information you have,” Det Supt Chapman said.

The investigation by Strike Force Ologhlen continues.

Anyone with information about motorcycle rebirthing should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the online Crime Stoppers reporting page at crimestoppers. com.au

Bottle shop blow to ‘Tully’s Shed’ plans Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au

Sunday 6 November 2016 016

September 4th

THE Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal has refused permission for a bottle shop to be added to the sales and restaurant activities at Tully’s Shed, in Moorooduc Highway, Mornington.

The decision follows a site inspection by VCAT senior member Russell Byard who described the “shed” as a supermarket offering goods from around the world.

The decision to not allow the bottle shop can only be overturned by the Supreme Court or VCAT. The 17.3 hectare property at the Wooralla Drive intersection is within a Green Wedge zone which bans shops but allows plant nurseries, sales of primary produce and restaurants.

The VCAT appeal followed Mornington Peninsula Shire’s November 2015 refusal of an application from property owner Estina Pty Ltd to open a bottle shop in addition to the supermarket, restaurant and plant nursery already operating on the site.

“No planning permission can be granted for a shop. Bottle shop being a subcategory of shop and a sub-subcategory of retail premises, is consequently also a prohibited land use,” VCAT senior member Russell Byard said in his written reasons for refusing Estina’s appeal.

Part of the shire’s refusal of the bottle shop was that it “will result in an intensification of a retail use which is prohibited in the Green Wedge zone”.

Opening a bottle shop would have also required Estina to obtain a liquor licence.

Mr Byard said the shire and an objector, former shire councillor and Mt Eliza resident Leigh Eustace, maintained that “planning permission cannot, or alternatively, should not be granted”.

Mr Byard said changes to the use and development at Tully’s Shed – also known as Tully’s Corner Produce Store and Tully’s Stockfeed and Rural Supplies – “have created a complex situation” which involved appeals to VCAT dating back to April 2003.

At that stage, as well as an orchard, the site included a packing shed which appeared to have been used since 1960 “not only for storage, sorting and packing activities in relation to fruit and vegetables, but also for the wholesale and retail sale of such produce [and some] imported onto the land from other places. “Although principally fruit and vegetables, some other limited ranges of goods such as honey, eggs, apple juice, locally made jam and the like,” Mr Byard stated and adding “such trading was lawful by virtue of existing use rights”.

In October 2007 the shire agreed to a plant nursery and in June the following year agreed to a definition of “existing use rights” that limited retail sales through Tully’s Corner Produce Store with fresh produce comprising at least 80 per cent of goods for sale.

Mr Byard said that since 2003 “a so called tree farm raising seedling trees up to a transplantable size” business had replaced the property’s use as an orchard and for grazing. Neither of two existing

house “survives as a dwelling”.

“My inspection confirmed the evidence given that the retailing on the site now amounts to something like a supermarket, indeed it really is a supermarket, and quite a substantial one with a wide variety of goods for sale,” he said. He said “a large part of the range of goods on sale are not primary produce in any ordinary sense of the word and certainly not from the land or immediate locality”.

Mr Bayard said bottled and canned food and drink “clearly do not originate from the locality, but come from elsewhere in Victoria, Australia and around the world”.

He said there was bottled mineral water from Italy and other goods from Scandinavia, Turkey and Poland.

“There is a butcher shop section and a seafood section selling seafood from South Australia and Queensland. There is a delicatessen, dairy section and refrigerated goods.

“The range of package teas and coffees on display clearly do not come from the land or adjacent land.

“Even in relation to fresh fruit and vegetables, which might be regarded as primary produce, the offering includes goods that are not grown in this locality including, for example, oranges and bananas.”

Mr Byard said the shire was “quite moderate in submitting that the evidence shows that not even a majority of the goods could be described as fresh primary produce”.

“Many local suburban self-service grocery shops, now referred to as supermarkets, are notably smaller in area and the range of food on offer.”

Mr Bayard said supermarkets were a prohibited use in this zone and that produce from the area now only amounts to a small proportion of the total offering”.

In relation to opening a bottle shop, Mr Byard said no grapes were being grown on Estina’s or any adjoining land that could be considered as primary produce.

“The nearest vineyards sought to be relied upon are three kilometres away.

“I find that this proposal is to use land as a shop, indeed a bottle shop, as defined in the planning scheme.

“It is prohibited.”

Mr Bayard went on the say that he would refuse a permit for a bottle shop at Tully’s even if there was discretion “on the grounds of planning policy and planning merit”.

He said large scale retail ventures should be run in commercial zones.

“It is hardly fair to users complying with these planning requirements that other people should compete from out of centre locations with less overheads on cheap land; cheap in terms of price or rent.”

Land zoned for farming “should be devoted to farming and compatible purposes and not blighted with substantial commercial undertakings along highways and other main roads or on rural zoned land”.

A FRANKSTON South man hid from police for more than an hour in the dark, cold waters of Martha Cove, 5.30am, Saturday 21 July.

Police called in the Air Wing to help search for the man, 21, and he was soon hauled aboard a pontoon after 90 freezing minutes.

Police allege the man and a mate, 24, of Patterson Lakes, stole a white utility in Frankston and drove to Safety Beach where they stole another car after pushing it down a driveway.

Martha Cove security staff intervened and called Rosebud police when the men “did a runner” – straight into the harbour.

Police found the Patterson Lakes man soon after but had to wait much longer for his Frankston South accomplice.

“It was dark, freezing cold and wet on shore, let alone up to his neck in the water,” Acting Senior Sergeant Warren Morgan said.

The man was taken to Frankston Hospital for observation but he “didn’t appear overly concerned” about the cold and was discharged later that day, he said.

The men have been charged with multiple burglaries, car thefts, theft from cars and arson. The alleged arson refers to the “torching” of a stolen Mazda utility at Kingston reserve, Bangholme.

The men have been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 3 October.

Police are trying to track down owners of property allegedly stolen by the two men from houses at Safety Beach. Detective Senior Constable Grant O’Dwyer said they had recovered a Garmin GPS, a satellite mobile phone and a “large set of keys” (pictured).

Charges over ‘clan lab’ TWO people are in custody after police found a “clan lab” – possibly used for manufacturing drugs – in Rosebud.

Detective Senior Sergeant Miro Majstorovic, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, said the clandestine drug unit, as well as a large amount of fertiliser, was found at the house in Balaka St, Wednesday 27 July.

A Rosebud West man, 48, has been charged with drug-related matters and possession of possibly explosive materials. He appeared at Frankston Magistrates Court, Wednesday, and was further remanded to appear on 25 August.

A Rosebud woman, 37, was released pending further inquiries.

Hard at work: Trudy LennonBowers, of Mornington, doing what she loves.

Picture: Gary Sissons

A DRIVER charged over the death of Mornington Cycling Club member Joel Hawkins in June last year has been bailed to appear at the County Court in April.

The Rosebud man, 47, fronted a committal hearing at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court last week on charges of culpable driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death and summary charges.

A “ghost bike” memorial near Ponderosa Place, Dromana, honours the memory of the 17-year-old, of Mt Martha, who was a popular clubman and member of the Victorian cycling team.

“Joel was an extremely talented rider with dreams of riding in the Tour de France. We miss him so much,” aunt Tara Bressan said.

Art’s lunar link AN art historian who has worked at the National Gallery in London for 16 years will speak to Australian Decorative & Fine Arts Society members at Mornington this month.

Leslie Primo will talk about artist Joseph Wright, of Derby, and the development of the Lunar Society in 18th century England.

At that time, like minded men formed clubs and societies where they discussed the various movements for change, such as the anti-slavery movement, the writings of the Jean Jacques Rousseau, the American war of independence, and the philosophy of the Age of Enlightenment.

Primo’s talk will explore the lives, achievements, common interests and connections between a group of individuals by examining the paintings of Joseph Wright depicting various men, including James Watt, Matthew Boulton, Josiah Wedgwood and Erasmus Darwin.

The industrialists among these men would have been referred to, in their time, as philosophers – or the Lunar Men. We have a name for them: scientists.

The talk will be at 5.30pm, Friday 12 August, at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington. The cost to non-members is $20. Details and bookings, call 9787 2092.

Time out to make opportunity A WOMAN who has loved opportunity shops all her life – “getting a bargain, finding a treasure and being able to afford it because of the prices” – has opened her own op shop.

Trudy Lennon-Bowers, of Mornington, said her “life changed” when her father passed away last year.

“I started to think about exactly what was important in my life and what wasn't,” she said.

“I was working three 12-hour days as a development chemist for Dulux, driving two hours a day and never seeing my husband or kids, and thought to myself: What am I doing?

“I was also volunteering at the Wilson Rd,

Mornington, op shop and that was the thing I loved to do the most. I thought to myself: “If I could do this every day I would be a happy person.”

It was time for a change, so Ms LennonBowers took 12-months’ leave-of-absence to establish Tru Opportunity, which she says is a “traditionally priced op shop where it is affordable to shop”.

But there’s a twist: Donors of goods can nominate the charity they support by the sale of the goods.

“I have a list of 34 charities we are hoping to help with any profits generated,” Ms Lennon-

Bowers said.

“We have set up a website – truopportunity. com.au – and have a Facebook group and business page.

“There’s no money left in the kitty for advertising so I am relying on word-of-mouth and Facebook for promotion.”

Ms Lennon-Bowers said she and volunteer staff were not drawing wages but donating all profits to the charities.

Tru Opportunity, 8 Frank St, Mornington, 9.30am - 4.30pm Monday to Friday and 9am – 1pm Saturdays.

Pre-retirees warned: avoid ‘too good to be true’ tax schemes THE ATO has launched Project Super Scheme Smart, an initiative aimed at educating individuals about the potential pitfalls of retirement planning schemes.

The program – which forms part of the ATO’s broader focus on tax avoidance schemes – provides valuable information to individuals regarding what to look out for, and what to do if they have fallen prey to a risky scheme.

ATO Deputy Commissioner, Michael Cranston, said the purpose of the initiative is to keep Australians safe from risking their retirement nest egg through tax avoidance schemes.

“Tax avoidance schemes have long been a target for the ATO and we have been hugely successful in identifying and shutting these down.

We’ve recently seen an increase in the number of schemes that are designed specifically to target those approaching retirement.”

“After working hard to build a nest egg to fund your retirement, the last thing you want is to inadvertently risk it all by getting involved in a risky scheme. That’s why the ATO is working to help individuals understand what a retirement

planning scheme looks like,” Mr Cranston said.

According to the ATO, individuals most at risk are those approaching retirement. This can mean anyone aged 50 or over, looking to put significant amounts of money into retirement, particularly self-managed super fund (SMSF) trustees, self-funded retirees, small business owners, company directors and individuals involved in property investment.

While retirement planning schemes can vary, there are some common features that people should be aware of. Usually these schemes:  are artificially contrived and complex, usually connected with a SMSF  involve a lot of paper shuffling  are designed to leave the taxpayer with minimal or zero tax, or even a tax refund  aim to give a present day tax benefit by adopting the arrangement.

Individuals caught using an illegal scheme identified by the ATO may incur severe penalties under tax laws. This includes risking loss of their retirement nest egg and also their rights as a trustee to manage and operate a SMSF.

Mr Cranston urged individuals undertaking retirement planning to remain vigilant and to come forward if they believe they are at risk or are already involved in a scheme.

“Retirement planning makes good sense provided it is carried out within the tax and superannuation laws. Make sure you are receiving ethical professional advice when undertaking retirement planning, and if in doubt, seek a second opinion from an independent, trusted and reputable expert.

“We do our best to shut down dodgy schemes but the best defence is working together. Blowing the whistle on those promoting retirement planning schemes will help us stop them from risking your or others’ retirement savings,” Mr Cranston said.

The ATO is encouraging people to report tax avoidance schemes via a confidential call to 1800 177 006, or via email to reportataxscheme@ato.gov.au. And for more information about the specific schemes, they can visit the website ato.gov.au/superschemesmart.

PAUL DEMPSEY HITS THE GRAND

Locals will be able to hear tracks from ‘Strange Loop’ live as Paul Dempsey heads to The Grand Hotel in Mornington on 9 September.

Arriving seven years after the Something for Kate front man’s acclaimed solo debut, 2009’s top five ARIA charts success ‘Everything Is True’, ‘Strange Loop’ –is freewheeling in form but precisely executed; it’s a record that knows what it wants to say, what it needs to be - 11 tracks that enclose surreptitious dry wit, the irregularity of the everyday, and the pathos of longing in a mix of magic hour melodies, striking instrumentation, and tenderly charged vocals.

‘Strange Loop’ reveals a supercharged Dempsey; his voice more potent and powerful than ever, his stories and characters magnified, his instrumentation more adventurous and playful. It’s an album that sounds like doing what you want, and actually getting it right. Most musicians would be content with being involved in a single much-loved project, especially one as constantly rewarded as Something for Kate (double figures for ARIA Awards nominations, winners of Triple J’s Album of the Year, multiple top ten albums), but ‘Strange Loop’ is confirmation that Dempsey will alternate between the beautifully

rigorous noise he makes with Stephanie Ashworth and Clint Hyndman and his own diverse solo career.

‘Strange Loop’ contains compelling pocket universes, at once uniquely identifiable as one of our great artists at work, but also indicative of fresh forms. It’s a dazzlingly intimate record, alive to the very pleasure of being alive…

THE BENNIES SWEAT IT OUT ON TOUR The Bennies recently wrapped up their Wisdom Machine Australian tour in Maroochydore on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Two weeks and 15,000 kilometers later they were playing a festival in Berlin, Germany. It’s indicative of the work ethic for the Melbourne band who have earnt a reputation for not only hard partying but heavy touring.

Fiorello, who released their album in the UK and US, and they got invited to play at Belgium festival Groezrock, alongside their heroes in Rancid. Spending April and May in their fourth continent in as many years, The Bennies will return home from their European and UK tour, to continue the second phase of their Wisdom Machine tour.

So far 2016 has been a whirlwind for the band. In January, Wisdom Machine’s first single ‘Party Machine’ reached number 88 on triple j’s Hottest 100, some two months before physical copies of the album were even available.

Constantly outdoing themselves with everything they do, this will be their biggest and most expansive tour to date, with 27 shows across each state, regional shows and new destinations they have previously never visited, including Townsville, Albany, Karratha, Werribee and, by popular demand, Nimbin.

They toured the country and sold out shows wherever they went, including Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and while they have always built their name around their live show, with Wisdom Machine, people were now talking loudly about their music.

They graced the covers of magazines, scored album of the week accolades and even infiltrated the charts, with the album debuting at number 40 on the ARIA Album chart and number 10 on the Australian chart. They drew the attention of Less Than Jake drummer, and owner of Florida based label Paper & Plastic, Vinnie

Proudly presented by triple j, catch The Bennies pack out dance floors this June and July, supported by Poison City label mates Clowns, who are also fresh from European tour dates. Also along for the wild ride will be Perth punk-rock trio Axe Girl.

HOLLYWOOD’S MAN OF 10,000 VOICES BACK

BY POPULAR DEMAND ‘Human sound-effects machine’ Michael Winslow will be back in Australia this July and August for his most extensive stand-up tour of our shores to date.

Winslow’s mastery of vocal gymnastics first came to prominence on the stand-up circuit in the early 80s after doing voiceovers for both Disney and Universal Studios for films like Back to the Future and Terminator.

His performance as Sgt. Larvelle “Motor Mouth” Jones in the Police Academy movie series saw Winslow become a household name, a role specifically created to showcase his vocal talents. Notably, his is the only character to appear in all instalments of Police Academy including all seven movies, the cartoon and the television series.

Appearances in Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs and Gremlins quickly followed, with audiences amazed

by Winslow’s incredible ability to create remarkably convincing sound effects – machine gun fire, helicopters, a harmonica, police

sirens – using nothing more than his voice. More recently, Winslow has been animated (and voiced himself!) on The Simpsons and Family Guy, and his in-demand talents have been showcased on countless video games and apps.

A mix of impersonations, impressions, story-telling, music and sound effects, Winslow’s live show is not a traditional stand-up comedy routine but a sound-fuelled adventure that showcases his truly remarkable talent.

His signature renditions of rock gods like Jimmy Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, as well as a re-enactment of an entire Star Wars battle scene, have made Winslow’s live show a ‘must-see’ performance. Don’t miss Michael Winslow, an inimitable talent and icon of comedy’s golden age, live this winter.

Michael Winslow will be at Chelsea Heights Hotel on Saturday 13th August.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Shire secretary suffering from influenza Compiled by Melissa Walsh MR JOHN E. Jones (the Shire Secretary) is still suffering from the attack of influenza that he has been the victim of for some weeks now, and was unable to take up his duties at the Council meeting on Thursday.

Mr W. G. Sanders, of Mornington, acted as locum tenens in Mr Jones’ absence.

We hope soon to see the latter again able to take up the duties of his office. *** MADAM Emily Benson, the Melbourne Society entertainer will sing at the concert in aid of the Frankston District Roll of Honor. *** IN our last issue Mrs A. W. Taylor’s name was omitted from the list of ladies in the Queen Carnival. Mrs Taylor is Queen of Servia. (Tobacco Stall.) *** ON the eve of his departure to Melbourne, Mr F. Girdlestone, local railway employee, was presented with a clock suitably inscribed, by his fellow employes. *** MR Harry Skinner, the well known Scottish entertainer has arranged a musical treat for the residents of Frankston for Saturday, August 19th at the Mechanics’ Hall.

The funds are in aid of the Frankston District Roll of Honor Fund. *** AT the Frankston Police Court on

Monday, before Messrs Williams, Oates, Crawford and Grant, Js.P., Harry Ritches was proceeded against by the Railway Department for travelling without a ticket, and was fined 10s with 7s 6d cost. *** Mr Bernard Michael notifies that the property advertised in last issue to be offered for sale by auction at Coop’s Hotel, Somerville, at 2 p.m on Wednesday 9th August, has been withdrawn from sale. *** A FOOTBALL match is to be played today (Saturday) on the Carrum ground against a team from Carrum School.

The boys who are to play for Frankston are:—Frank Mills, E. Osborne, W. McComb, G. McComb, D. Flannagan, W. Baxter, G. Bradbury, J. Cameron, V. McComb, W. Davies, J. Davies, L. Ryan, L. Marshall, C. Reeves, L Heffinan, A. Nicholson, J. Bray, G. Von. *** A GRAND concert and ball is announced to be held on Wednesday, 16th August, in the Moorooduc Brick Hall, in aid of the funds of the Bittern North Co-operative Association.

A capital programme of Melbourne and local talent is being secured, and as it will be bright moonlight on the evening chosen, there will doubtless be a full attendance. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their usual monthly sale of stock, etc,

at Tanti, on Monday next.

There will be a good yarding of mixed cattle and sheep.

At two o’clock on the same day and place, the firm will offer a number of Mornington township allotments, which are advertised as being for absolute sale, and the terms are cash.

Also about 30 acres, being part of Crown allot. 6, section A, parish of Moorooduc, and 1a. 2r. being part of Crown allotment 32, in the same parish. *** THE annual municipal elections take place throughout the State, on Thursday, 24th August.

In the Shire of Frankston and Hastings the retiring councillors are Crs Plowman, Keast and Turner, for the North, Centre, and East ridings.

So far, not much interest has been shown, and the only candidates who have announced themselves are Cr Plowman, for the North riding, and Mr W. Longmuir for the East riding.

The nomination day is fixed for Thursday next, between the hours of 10 o’clock in the forenoon and 4 o’clock in the afternoon.

Cr Lloyd has announced that he again seeks re-election as a councillor for the Tooradin Riding of the Shire of Cranbourne. *** Letters from the Front The following interesting letter appeared in the “Post” of last week.

A Frankstonian in England writes as follows:

“Just a few lines to let you know how one of the Frankston footballers acted in the great attack on Pope’s Hill on August 7th, 1915.

You remember Syd. O’Neil joined up with the 8th Light Horse at Broadmeadows early in September of 1914.

Before very long he was promoted to corporal, and did very good work with the squadron in Egypt. I saw him for a few hours in Egypt, and had a great chat.

After a few weeks at the Dardanelles word came along that the 8th Light Horse had landed, so I went along to see him.

They were a merry crowd, a trifle disappointed at having to leave their horses behind, but happy to think that they were to have the chance of doing their bit.

Sid. was looking very well, brown as a berry; the same old Syd., face wreathed in smiles.

They had a position in the line on Pope’s Hill, near our left flank.

When the Turks, led by Enver Pasha, attacked our trenches on June 25th, the 8th L. H. greatly distinguished themselves.

General Walker congratulated the men on the wonderful discipline they had displayed; later on he mentioned them in the Home despatches.

On that night of the 25th the 8th killed over 500 Turks, an excellent start for the regiment.

Syd was promoted to sergeantmajor, and was transferred to another squadron.

They still held the same position in the line. The most respected man in that regiment was Syd. O’Neil, and the old squadron missed him very much when he left to takeover the next squadron.

On August 7th the 8th L.H. had to make an attack from Pope’s Hill.

Syd’s old squadron was ready to go out over the top, and there was a lot of murmuring amongst the men, which ended in a deputation waiting on the colonel, asking for Sgt-Major O’Neil to lead them in the charge.

Syd. heard about this, and you who know him so well can imagine how he acted. He volunteered at once, quickly taking command of the squadron, and at the signal to advance quickly leapt the parapet and made for the Turkish lines.

Syd. led over the parapet, but had only advanced a few yards when he received a fatal wound, dropping within a few yards from the parapet.

On the football field he always played straight, admired by everyone who came into contact with him. He died a hero’s death, a white man right through.

He had no need to go out at all that day, but his men needed him, and Syd. was not the man to stand down.

They buried him in the cemetery on Brighton Beach, the remnants of the 8th Light Horse attending.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Honda 110: Chariot of the Gods

By Stuart McCullough FAREWELL, friend. You served me well. Now that it’s over, it’s hard not to look back with fondness at the time we spent together. Deep down, I knew it would come to an end at some point, I just didn’t expect that moment to be now. When I heard the news, it was as if a part of my soul left my body. There will forever more be a small hole in the shape of a three-wheeled motorbike in my heart. So long, Honda 110.

You were the best motorbike a young boy could ever want.

It arrived one Christmas. Without any particular fanfare, my brother discovered two helmets behind the couch. Perhaps it was the fact that the word ‘motorbike’ had not appeared on my Christmas list (instead I’d requested as many cassettes from the ‘Hooked on Classics’ series as Santa’s budget would allow) or that I had so often been accused of having chronic helmet hair that I so completely misread the signals. Cameron, however, understood at once. He took off as if he’d been shot from a cannon, up towards the shed. Several minutes later and after a lengthy explanation from my parents that involved diagrams and the kind of after-dinner pantomime that really ought to have been unnecessary, I followed.

We found it in the shed. Underneath the hip to ankle plaster cast that had encased my broken leg when I was six and which my father had decided to retain as some kind of keepsake for reasons that elude me then and now and the jar with a methylated reptile that had come to grief after tangling with the lawnmower. Bright red with a large headlight at the front was the

Honda 110 three-wheeled motorcycle.

My brother and I were dumbstruck.

Perhaps it was the sheer surprise of it. Not only had I never asked for a motorbike, my parents had often taken it upon themselves to remark on

the motorbikes of others. As we were growing up, we’d often see other kids riding motorbikes across paddocks or, for those without easy access to land, up and down the driveway. At the first hint of their mosquito-like

engine hum, they would dish up the tidal wave of opprobrium that is the simple shake of a parental head. So far as I could tell, they ranked motorbikes somewhere between dropping out of high school and pinball parlours in their Parental Hall of Shame.

In a technical sense, owning a motorbike represented a kind of freedom that a BMX simply couldn’t deliver.

But actually owning one of these beauties came with its own set of challenges. The first of which was getting it started. Rather than a key or a button, the Honda 110 required you to yank on a ripcord with such muscleshredding ferocity that the odds of actually starting the engine or dislocating your shoulder were pretty much even. It’s hard to feel free if you need to fetch an adult every time you want to go for a spin.

Having overcome the hurdle that was starting the engine, we had plenty of space to go riding. To get to the back half of the property, it was necessary to get over the creek; which took some measure of skill. Using a mix of intuition and aptitude, you had to thread a path through the water that was both cautious and yet didn’t give the engine a chance to stall. But once through, it was a quick trip past the blackberry patch up into the bush. My brother and I spent hours clearing pathways to create racing circuits. Blitzing around the trail, we would startle cattle as we tore around at what we regarded as high speed but, in reality, was probably something a notch or two above walking pace.

When we left home, the motorbike stayed behind. It was probably for the best. I doubt very much that the Hon-

da 110 would have enjoyed University life. Attending a first year Russian literature tutorial was never going to hold its interest. Instead, the bike was put to work. My father attached a trailer to the back and it was used to cart firewood from the bush to the house.

Over the years, its powers diminished until, eventually, its pace was reduced to that of a three-wheeled glacier.

The salesman was startled when my father told him of his Honda 110.

They hadn’t been manufactured for more than thirty years; surely my father had taken extraordinary care of it to account for its longevity? My father most likely shrugged. Attention to mechanical details is simply not the McCullough way. We prefer to ignore such things and hope for the best. It was precisely this approach that resulted in my vehement denial that there was anything wrong with the Astra right up until the moment that flames started to leak out from underneath the bonnet.

The Honda 110 is gone, without so much as a farewell. My father replaced it with a four-wheeled motorbike that looks like a small car with the lid peeled off. There’s no ripcord, just a button. And whilst the Honda’s departure was thirty years in the making, it still felt too sudden. Neither my brother nor I had a chance to say our goodbyes. As I imagine it, we would have both strapped on our helmets one last time and taken the beast for one more trip around the block. It wasn’t to be. The Honda 110 has gone to the great car park in the sky. Ride on, friend, ride on. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

By Toe Punt PINES coach Pat Swayne will invite South Umpires Association boss Mark Mounsey to the club this week to explain some rules to his charges after he was left frustrated and bewildered after his side went down to Mornington by 17 points in MPNFL Peninsula Division on Saturday.

Swayne said that in his 18 years in senior football, never has he used poor umpiring as an excuse to his players.

Things changed on Saturday, Swayne conceding that he could “legitimately” use the umpires as an excuse in their loss to the Doggies.

“We were bad at times, however, our good was never going to be good enough given we had five free kicks to 21, a send off that wasn’t there and 50m penalties against us for reacting to poor behaviour from the umpire,” Swayne said.

“Our supporters got caught up in the frustration but umpires are expected to be professional and ignore that.

“We’ll get Mounsey or Genty (Brett Gent) down to talk to the boys but what we saw today was almost laughable,” Swayne said.

This latest criticism from a very level-headed, respectful, intelligent senior coach follows an overruled goal that should never have been overruled in a Nepean game three weeks and a report that was thrown out at the tribunal a week later in a Peninsula game.

Players also reported ‘taunting’ from certain umpires. This was evident again at Pines on Saturday with one umpire allegedly gesturing to the crowd, a claim made by a 14-year-old female spectator.

In a time when the league is in desperate need of umpires and bringing through new talent, the existing crew should be seen and not heard – ever, unless making or explaining a decision.

Mark Mounsey recently made contact with me and explained that attracting new talent was difficult and that umpires being “seen and not heard” was the mantra of the SUA. Unfortunately, not everyone is on

that bus and unless action is taken swiftly, recruiting the next generation of umpires is going to be made difficult.

Mornington kicked away from Pines in the second quarter and again in the last to win 10.17 (77) to 8.12 (60).

Jackson Calder and Dale Whelan booted three goals each while Ryan O’Dell and Mick Gay dominated.

Seaford kept its slim finals hopes alive with a thrilling two point win against Edithvale.

The Tigers held off a surging home side in the last quarter to win 12.13 (85) to 12.11 (83).

The Eagles had their chances, booting 6.1 to three goals straight in the last.

Jackson Mockett booted four for the winners while Matt Herbert was outstanding.

Will Flavelle was the best of the Eagles with two goals.

Seaford is now just two points (plus 10 per cent) behind Edithvale on the ladder.

The Tigers play Karingal and Mt Eliza in their remaining games.

They played their Round 17 game against Pines at Easter.

Edithvale plays Mornington, Karingal and Frankston YCW in their final three matches and needs only to win one to make it.

Jordan Capkin booted a careerhigh eight goals in Mt Eliza’s big 16.17 (113) to 5.5 (35) win against Langwarrin.

The Redlegs booted 13.15 to 1.2 after quarter time.

Frankston YCW led Karingal by eight points at half time before kicking 10.9 to 2.2 in the second half.

The Stonecats had 10 goal kickers with Paul Minchington named best player on the ground.

Bonbeach had 11 goal kickers in its 21.14 (140) to 7.8 (50) demolition of Chelsea.

The Sharks, four points and percentage behind Pines in third, play Mt Eliza, Frankston YCW and Langwarrin in their remaining games.

Pines faces three straight defeats against YCW this week before having a bye and finishing with Chelsea.

The Pythons will still finish third.

Tigers win in a thriller: Seaford just managed to hold off Edithvale to take home a two point win. Picture: Scott Memery

AFL South-East get it wrong over finals

By Toe Punt WHEN MPNFL Nepean Division clubs instigated a vote of no confidence that eventually saw the sacking of the board and administration this time last season, the reason for doing so was “change”.

Nepean Clubs were no longer prepared to accept a dictatorship that constantly stripped them of having a voice and they got on the front foot to do something about it.

Peninsula Division clubs followed later.

AFL South-East General Manager Jeremy Bourke and his team of regional managers were like politicians before an election, campaigning and meeting with clubs, standing on the platform of ‘being heard and having a say in the future of football on the Mornington Peninsula’.

It was enough to get the clubs excited and onside, as well as encourage the likes of yours truly that “things

were going to be different for the good of the game”.

The fact of the matter is, 12 months on, nothing has changed.

Sure, the new MPNFL has made some administration tweaks and videoing every game has been popular.

Easy, predictable, quick wins.

However, they’ve failed to make any real hard decisions that are going to benefit the short and long term future of the competition.

The MPNFL has had every chance to make a statement.

However, it buckled with the Nepean League 16-round competition becoming 18, it failed to execute an engaging and supportive interleague campaign and its latest decision to restrict Nepean Division to play finals at Frankston Park is a short-sighted, misinformed disgrace.

In fact, it’s a mismanaged, uneducated injustice.

AFL South East MPNFL League

Manager Shaun Connell released a media statement last Thursday, beating his chest about the fact that the MPNFL has a wonderful working relationship with Frankston Dolphins and Frankston Council, which opens the door for Saturday and Sunday finals at Kars St. Kudos to Connell and his team for improving the relationship but given where the relationship started, it was never going to be hard to improve.

What two days of finals did was open the door to turn back the clock and have Nepean Division played on the Saturday and Peninsula Division on the Sunday.

No-one can argue the fact that Peninsula Division doesn’t draw crowds until Grand Final day – you just need to read the MPNFL Financial statement to understand that.

Make no mistake, the Nepean Division finals prop-up the entire competition.

Netball had always been used as an argument but according to Connell, this was no longer an issue because a deal has been struck with Frankston District Netball Association to have the games played at Jubillee Park.

However, rather than look at what is best for the entire competition, including the supporters, the MPNFL have decided to give Peninsula Division both Saturday and Sunday access to Frankston Park.

What a farce!

How can the MPNFL justify alienating Nepean Division from having an equal share of Frankston Park?

Is the MPNFL trying to drive a wedge between Peninsula and Nepean – are they trying to make Peninsula, which is on its knees as a competition, the premier competition?

Rumours circulating that Peninsula will have a salary cap of $150,000 next season and Nepean clubs $130,000 supports that theory.

Right now, these are two even competitions – Peninsula and Nepean. It’s not Division One and Division Two. That may change in the future, however, right now, its two even competitions looking for equal rights.

Connell said in the media release “there are many positives to play here (Frankston Park) not only is it the heartland of the MPNFL but provides great viewing for patrons and a VFL standard surface for all clubs participating”.

Connell is absolutely right about it being the heartland of the MPNFL – all 22 clubs, not just five Peninsula Division clubs.

In almost 12 months in office, AFL South-East has taken the easy option – that’s not why it was voted in.

There is only one decision to be made here and that’s to celebrate the MPNFL as a whole competition and play finals of both Divisions at Kars St.

‘Sticks’ breaks games record NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt IT was mixed emotions for Sorrento Football Club on Saturday.

While a legend of the club in Brent ‘Sticks’ Kenyon was breaking the 25year games record of Bernie Lynch of 263 games, reigning premier Rosebud was ending a finals streak which dates back to 2007.

While it’s mathematically possible that Sorrento can still make finals, they must beat Red Hill in their one remaining game of the season in the final round and hope that Hastings gets belted by Crib Point and Frankston in their final two matches.

Sorrento got a taste of finals when Tony Blackford took over as a coach in 2002 and the Sharks played finals every season while he was there until 2005. They won the flag in 2004.

The Sharks missed in 2006 before Troy Schwarze came to the club in 2007. They played nine finals series straight, winning the 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012 premierships.

In 2016, Sorrento will not be part of it.

Devastation aside, it shouldn’t overshadow the enormous contribution of Kenyon, who was awarded Life Membership in 2013.

‘Sticks’ played his first and only senior game in 1998 before becoming a regular the following year.

In 2013 he became the coach of the reserves and played 14 senior games that season, before devoting his entire year to the reserves as coach in 2014.

In 2015, Kenyon played six senior games while still coaching the reserves before doing a big pre-season which resulted in him playing the majority of 2016.

Kenyon is a five-time premiership player and was voted Best on Ground in the 2012 premiership.

In addition to 264 senior games, Kenyon also played 30 under 18 and 36 reserves games. He coached the 2001 under 18 premiership.

On Saturday, despite playing a wonderful game for Sorrento, he couldn’t stop the eight goal avalanche of Rosebud in the third quarter.

While 12 scoring shots to six should have seen Rosebud further ahead (11 points) at the major change, the home

Eagles soar: Despite never giving up, Hastings went down to Somerville by nine points. Picture: Andrew Hurst

side went to work in the third and slammed on 8.5 to two behinds to go 10 goals up.

Season on the line, Sorrento rallied in the last to eventually go down by 34 points.

Keegan Downie booted four and Greg Bentley three for the winners while Rob Bos and Sean Downie were outstanding.

Red Hill ended Rye’s season also.

The Demons got away to a flier and kicked five of the first six goals before the Hillmen booted nine unanswered goals in the second with the wind.

The eventual margin was 32 points, 14.8 (92) to 8.12 (60).

The Hillmen had nine goal kickers, Marcus Dal Lago and Tom McKinley booted three each.

In good news for Rye, coach Josh Moore has been reappointed for next season.

Somerville and Hastings put on a show that will be remembered as one of the best games of the season on Saturday.

Hastings threw everything they had and more at Somerville but it just wasn’t enough to get over the line.

Rowan Hogenbirk was arguably the best player on the ground for his clearance and stoppage work, Luke Rowe was sensational with six goals, the

human mullet Luke Burton’s forward pressure was eye-catching and Josh Westerman’s shut down job on Shaun Foster was match-winning.

The likes of Adrian Speedy, Jedd Sutton and Timmy Mcgennis were all relatively quiet, which says great things for the team as a whole.

The impressive thing for the Eagles was they got to work. Did the little things well. That’s been a criticism in the past.

Hastings kept coming and Somerville kept responding.

Jake Hewitt was enormous off half back for the Blues and Mark Devereaux was great through the middle.

Col McVeigh looked dangerous and booted three third quarter goals.

Despite a five goal last quarter, Pearcedale went down to Devon Meadows by 13 points, 11.10 (76) to 9.9 (63). Alex Doria booted six in a best on ground display for the Meadows.

Crib Point led all afternoon to beat Tyabb 10.12 (72) to 3.8 (26) while Frankston Bombers maintained their dominance at the top of the table with a 13.14 (92) to 6.4 (40) victory over Dromana. The Tigers have won just one game away from home this season. Brian O’Carroll showed some glimpses of the past in his best game since his return.

High five for Heart, Skye back on top SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ROSEBUD Heart maintained its push towards a maiden championship by smashing arch rival Baxter 5-0 in their State 5 South showdown at Baxter Park on Saturday.

Baxter has been smarting ever since losing 4-2 to the champion elect earlier in the season in a fiery encounter that saw two Baxter players sent off for violent conduct.

Baxter thought that it was the better side that day and few at the club could have anticipated Saturday’s whitewash.

Heart star Dave Greening missed two chances in the opening 20 minutes but in the 40th minute made no mistake from a tight angle after Simon O’Donnell’s shot had been parried by Baxter keeper Daniel D’Alfonso.

Two superb saves by Heart custodian Sean Skelly kept Baxter at bay in the remaining minutes of the half.

A Blake Hicks corner in the 50th minute led to Daniel Hodge bundling the ball over the line to make it 2-0 and six minutes later a Hicks freekick forced Baxter defender Heath Goss into a lunging clearance resulting in an own goal.

Greening completed his hat-trick in the 61st and 87th minutes.

The State 1 South-East clash between Mooroolbark and Mornington was called off due to the state of Esther Park.

The reserves game went ahead on the main pitch rendering it unplayable for the seniors.

Langwarrin had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home against title-chasing Manningham United in Saturday’s State 1 South East fixture.

Injury and suspensions sidelined John Guthrie, Sam Scott, Boris Ovcin, Grant Lane and Dylan Kilner forcing Langy boss Gus Macleod to field five under-21 players in the youngest senior line-up in his 18-year reign at the club.

In a first half dominated by a strong wind, Caleb Nicholes was again the difference scoring after six minutes with Koray Suat doing the strong build-up work.

It was the Langy of old as the home side bullied, chased and forced Manningham into numerous desperate clearances.

Manningham keeper Stefan Talevski kept the home side at bay with three first-class saves and by denying Nicholes a first-half hat-trick.

Manningham hit back in the second half but just when it looked like Langy had weathered the onslaught visiting coach Alfredo Constantino brought on sub James Newman with 10 minutes to go and was rewarded two minutes later when Newman slotted home the equaliser after a defensive lapse in concentration.

Frankston Pines and Casey Comets had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Monterey Reserve in Saturday’s State 1 South-East clash.

Pines keeper James Laminski had a blinder and came out on top in three one-on-one situations.

Comets hit the lead five minutes before the interval with a tremendous header from defender Jesse Martindale, which was saved by Laminski only for the ball to hit Pines defender Ben Caffrey and cross over the goal line.

The second half was an end-to-end affair and Comets paid dearly for not putting this contest to bed when Josh Calle struck a low shot in the 89th minute that nabbed a point for Pines.

CJ Hodgson took over from Kyle Crawford as Pines captain. Crawford is relocating to New Zealand after the next two matches.

Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United recorded an important 2-0 home win over Doveton in their State 2 South-East clash last weekend.

Doveton’s colourful keeper, Stuart Webster, was relieved to see that Seaford’s leading striker, Dylan Waugh, was out with injury, but the Tigers showed that they were not a one-man band, with Josh Tsung and Mitch Lander pressuring Webster at every opportunity early in the first half, but to no avail.

Late in the half the wind picked up and was at Seaford’s back in the second stanza.

In the 50th minute Doveton allowed mid-

Shot stopper: Rosebud Heart keeper Sean Skelly.

Picture: Paul Seeley

fielder Ivan Delgado to charge forward before striking a fierce shot from just over 25 metres sending the ball flying past Webster who was left lamenting the lack of pressure from the Doveton midfield.

In a reversal from the first half Seaford was now the more dominant strike force and its positive approach paid off in the 75th minute with Lander sliding onto a Nick Ormond cross to score under an advancing Webster to make it 2-0.

The longer this contest went the more frustrated Doveton appeared and in the end this was a fine win for Seaford as it fights to avoid relegation.

Peninsula Strikers and North Caulfield drew 1-1 in their State 2 South-East clash at Centenary Park on Sunday.

Tommy Hawkins scored for Strikers in the 4th minute, Oran Harel equalised in the 55th minute and the visitors missed a penalty in the 94th minute.

Skye United hammered Endeavour United 6-0 away from home in Saturday’s State League 4 South encounter to surge back to the top of the table after a series of draws.

The contest was over by half-time with Skye 5-0 up.

Alex Roberts opened the scoring with a far post header from a Daniel Attard cross in the 10th minute.

Braces to Attard and Nick Theodore put Endeavour out of its misery.

A Michael Putson strike from outside the area in the second half completed the scoreline.

Skye has added to its first team squad with the signatures of former player-coach Darren Roberts and former player Andrew Meimarakis.

This Saturday Skye’s season is on the line when it hosts third-placed Noble Park.

NEXT WEEKEND’S GAMES Saturday, 6 August, 3pm: Mornington v Warragul Utd (Dallas Brooks Park), Langwarrin v Morwell Pegasus (Lawton Park), Manningham Utd Blues v Frankston Pines (Wilson Road Reserve), Seaford Utd v Heatherton Utd (North Seaford Reserve), Sandringham v Peninsula Strikers (Sillitoe Reserve), Skye Utd v Noble Park (Skye Recreational Reserve), Rosebud Heart v Sandown Lions (Truemans Road Recreation Reserve), White Star Dandenong v Baxter (Greaves Reserve).
