Late night run raises funds

THE annual Frankston and Peninsula Relay For Life took place at Ballam Park in Frankston overnight on 21 September.

The event saw hundreds of people get together to run in the early hours of the morning in a bid to raise money to help fight cancer.

The Cancer Council website states that 429 participants signed up to run, and a total of over $80,000 was raised.

The Frankston High School Sports Leadership team raised over $10,000, as did the Penpals team.

Andrew Southgate (pictured left) from Too Inspired To Be Tired was a participant on the day. His group raised over $2000. CFA members Melissa and Ray (above) also got involved.

Ball in tennis club’s court Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE 128-year-old Frankston Tennis Club will officially call Centenary Park home after council agreed to provide the final piece of funding needed to redevelop the precinct.

After a failed attempt at securing just under $30 million for a redevelopment of Centenary Park, the club

was forced to go back to the drawing board. The upgrade is now expected to cost $4.2 million.

The project is funded with $3 million from the state government, $1.365 million from council, and a $35,000 contribution from the Frankston and Frankston East tennis clubs. Both clubs are set to merge as part of the rehoming.

Council’s contribution was ticked off at their 23 September public

meeting.

Frankston Tennis Club’s John McGillivray said securing funding for the new home would “help keep tennis alive and thriving in Frankston.”

“It’s wonderful of council to recognise the importance of tennis in our city, and demonstrate their commitment by endorsing this vital development,” he said.

The mayor Michael O’Reilly said “a modernised Centenary Park tennis

facility will become a major asset to the local community and region as an attractive location for competitions, encouraging increased membership and participation while retaining a piece of Frankston City’s sporting history for generations to come.”

“Recent discussions with the Frankston and Frankston East clubs as well as Tennis Victoria have been extremely positive and we look forward to delivering this important

sporting upgrade,” he said.

The redevelopment, which is scheduled to be finished by August 2020, is set to include the completion of 13 hard surface courts with new lighting and fencing, an upgrade of the existing pavilion, new male and female change rooms, car parking upgrades, and landscaping works.

Young artist’s dog drawing a winner MARY Turner, Elisa Huang, and Paige Kelly have been named as the three winners of the Frankston Art Centre’s inaugural Grand Pawtrait Prize award.

Children between four and twelve submitted portraits of their pets in a bid to win the competition. 88 pieces of art were submitted.

Ms Turner won the people’s and pet’s choice award for her drawing of

her nine-month-old German Shepard Mia. “I took a photo of Mia playing fetch and then drew her beautiful happy face,” she said.

Michelle Turner, Mary’s mother, said “all Mary does is draw and draw and draw. She doesn’t go anywhere without her notebook and pencil.”

“This was such a fantastic competition, it was so well run and Mary re-

ally felt important, we would definitely love to be a part of this again next year,” she said.

Eight-year-old Elisa Huang’s piece was a watercolour of her friend’s pet chicken, and six-year-old Page Kelly created a watercolour of her rabbit Alfalfa.

All entrants’ work is displayed at the Arts Centre during school holidays.

Heritage buildings remain standing Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A MOVE to demolish heritage buildings on Davey Street in Frankston has been knocked back by Frankston Council.

The applicant had sought to gain a planning permit to demolish buildings in a heritage overlay at 8, 10, and 12 Davey Street. The demolished buildings would make way for two new towers, standing at eight and fourteen storeys tall.

The officer’s report noted that “partial demolition of the dwellings on 10 and 12 Davey Street, Frankston has previously been undertaken” and that “the dwelling on 8 Davey Street Frankston remains intact.”

Andrew Bromley spoke on behalf of the permit applicant at the meeting.

He said the heritage building had become “more of an eyesore” and posed a “public safety risk”.

“These buildings no longer make a positive contribution to the streetscape. The fact they’ve been substantially demolished detracts from the architectural state of the buildings,” he said.

Mr Bromley said the site had been troubled by “squatters and drug dealers who continue to make their way in.” He said “we’ve been dealing with them for a significant amount of time”.

Cr Glenn Aitken vocally opposed knocking down the heritage buildings.

“These facades and structures are

important, good examples of wealthy architecture in the period they were constructed,” he said.

“I find it astonishing to lose part of the building’s integrity in the first instance.”

He condemned the “absolute gall” of people who “put to council that we should continue to tear down the fabric of this city’s history.’

Cr Sandra Mayer said “we first issued a permit at this site in 2011,

and it since seems to have changed hands.”

“I don’t understand why it’s not viable [to develop the land] without knocking the building down,” she said.

In December last year, council voted to turn down an extension for a planning permit at 6 Davey Street.

Cr Mayer criticised the developer for “land banking” at the time.

Councillors unanimously voted to reject the proposal to demolish the buildings and the proposal to construct the two towers for mixed use.

Club gets funds after first fault Continued from Page 1 The tennis club operated out of land on Yuille Street next to Frankston Hospital, which was purchased by the state government in 2017 to accommodate for future expansion of the hospital.

Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said “I am pleased to see that the Frankston Tennis Club is merging with Frankston East Tennis club utilising the $3 million provided by the state government.”

“This paves the way for the works to start on the 2018 Andrews Labor government election commitment to build a $562 million dollar worldclass Frankston Hospital,” he said.

Council had committed $11 million to the earlier plans of redevelopment, but couldn’t lock in matching commitments of $8 million each from the state and federal governments.

The tennis club led a protest march earlier this year demanding funding. In late 2018, Mr McGillivray warned that a failure to secure funding to revamp Centenary Park would mean “basically the death of the Frankston Tennis Club (“Tennis club fears death without funds”, The Times, 5/11/18).”

In June council announced it had discussed alternate options with the clubs, but had not come up with a concrete solution. By August a concept design for the new project had been completed. The project is expected to go out to tender in November with a contract awarded by the end of the year.

Confused about the right blinds for your home?

Vegan burger voted best BURGER enthusiasts in Frankston have voted a vegan offering at Nature Bar Cafe as the winner of the Burger Off taste test competition.

Close to 500 votes were cast during the course of the competition, with the cafe’s “Stayin’ Alive” burger voted the tastiest.

Nature Bar Café owner Amrita Arn said “I was so surprised because it is a vegan burger and there were much bigger restaurants participating but word of mouth kept people coming in.”

“We pride ourselves on providing healthy, vegetarian and vegan options and are thrilled people love our food and got so into the burger,” she said.

Australian Ninja Warrior competitor and competitive eater Riley Murphy has been helping to promote the competition. He said “the Stayin’ Alive burger was so delicious, it nearly made me convert to veganism.”

“Although I can’t promise to give up meat, I’ll definitely be way more pumped to try alternatives next time around,” he said.

Communication is key for new CEO

Picture: Josie Jones

Humpback ashore at St Andrews A DEAD humpback washed up onto the beach at St Andrews over the weekend had been a meal for sharks as it floated in to shore.

The 11-metre whale was gouged by large bite marks and covered in crustaceans.

Environmental advocate Josie Jones spotted the whale out in the water on Sunday night. “We could see the sharks lunging and spray coming off them, their fins rising up out of the water – it was pretty full on to watch,” she said.

Cetacean scientist Sue Mason

said the whale must have died only recently as the carcase had not begun to decompose – and stink.

Scientists estimate that about 33,000 humpbacks migrate along the east coast to and from their feeding grounds in the Antarctic to the warmer waters of the Great Barrier Reef, where they breed. This population increases by about 10 per cent each year.

A separate population migrates along the West Australian coast.

This humpback may have been on its way south to the Antarctic to feed

over the summer.

Humpbacks can grow to 16 metres, with their pectoral fins being roughly one third the length of their body.

The best places to see humpbacks along the Victorian coast are Wilsons Promontory and from high vantage points along the coast. Sightings by citizen scientists are regularly posted on the Two Bays Whale Project Facebook page.

“As we know, it is important to keep our ocean clean to reduce our impact on these beautiful creatures,” Dr Mason said.

PHIL Cantillon has been officially appointed as Frankston Council CEO. Mr Cantillon had been the CEO in an interim capacity, and has been at council since October 2017.

Mr Cantillon said “Frankston City has such a vibrant and diverse community whose needs and expectations vary greatly. When it comes to this community, there’s no one size fits all.”

“One of my main goals will be to improve communication between council and residents to ensure we are getting the vital input we need to make decisions which will not only benefit our community but meet their expectations,” he said.

“We are currently in the process of finalising a number of innovative new ways for our community to engage

and provide us with feedback.”

The mayor Michael O’Reilly said “Phil has, through his time as our director community assets and most recently as interim CEO, demonstrated his ongoing commitment to the organisation and the Frankston City community, backed up by an impressive resume touching on many areas of local and state government.”

“Council is excited to move forward under Phil’s guidance and will continue to work diligently to cement Frankston City’s reputation as the lifestyle capital of Victoria,” he said.

Councillors offered Mr Cantillon the job after a closed meeting on 7 September.

He takes over from former CEO Dennis Hovenden, who resigned with just four months left on his contract.

Men on the run

Horse charges

Petrol theft

FOUR men are on the run after a series of incidents in Frankston.

At around 2am, 26 September, police attended a shopping complex on Cranbourne Road, Frankston. Police believe that four men reversed a Ford Ranger ute through glass doors and failed in an attempt to steal an ATM. Police believe that the same men also forced a man out of his Ford Falcon in Mt Eliza at around 4am and stole it.

The ute was later found burnt out in Sybil Avenue, Frankston North.

The Ford Falcon is believed to have been later involved in a single vehicle crash in Seaford around 8.40am.

Police believe that the ute used in the Cranbourne Road ram raid had been stolen in Altona Meadows the night before in an aggravated carjacking.

No arrests have been made of 26 September, and police are appealing for information. Any witnesses or anyone with information are encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers.

A MAN has been charged with the attempted theft of a statue from Parkdale.

It is alleged that the man attempted to steal the horse statue in July of this year.

A 29-year-old Mordialloc resident was hit with an attempted theft charge, along with a charge of criminal damage and possession of anabolic steroids.

The man was summoned to appear at the Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court on 19 September.

POLICE are searching for a man who left a service station without paying for petrol, around 1.30pm 26 August.

The man filled up a white VR/ VS Holden commodore with stolen plates with about $64 worth of fuel.

The man then left the Baxter petrol station without attempting to pay.

An image (left) has been released of a man police wish to speak to.

Signs show a town divided over airfield TENSIONS are rising between those for and against the Tyabb airfield expansion, with one long-time Tyabb resident, who did not wish to be named, saying the town has “never been so divided – it’s getting very ugly”.

While tensions have been simmering on and off for years, the issue has reached a new peak with vandals destroying, and in one case burning, signs opposing any expansion of the airfield.

Up to 100 blue and white signs opposing any expansion of the airfield were erected throughout the Tyabb area, most on private property.

Two weeks ago airfield supporters printed and distributed coloured posters supporting the airfield, The latest dispute arose after the Peninsula Aero Club and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council quarrelled over “missing” permits for businesses abutting the airfield..

The shire says it is working through the issue, although it is still awaiting a mastger plan for the airfield.

A stand-off over operating hours led to the club threatening to cancel the long-running Tyabb Air Show, but this has since been averted and the 2020 air show will be held in March.

The shire issued a news release last Thursday saying it had “approved and issued the Peninsula Aero Club’s (PAC) permits for the Tyabb 2020 Air-

show”.

“We were always committed to seeing the air show proceed,” the mayor Cr David Gill said. “It is a great event for the peninsula, providing significant charitable donations for the local community and a showcase for aero enthusiasts.”

Cr Julie Morris described the air show as “a staple event for the peninsula that focuses on giving back to the community”.

The air show permits can be inspected by the public at the shire’s Mornington office during office hours.

The aero club held an “open day” at the airfield over the 15-16 June weekend and posters supporting the continued operation of the airfield are being displayed throughout the area.

Aero club president Jack Vevers said mid-month the club was “very grateful to the Tyabb and surrounding communities for the “overwhelming show of support by some fantastic people.

“The airport plays a vital role in hosting emergency services to protect all of the peninsula and the community understands and values this,” he said.

However, the Tyabb resident said there were “bad vibes in the town” and people opposed to the airfield expansion were being made to feel “very uncomfortable”.

Many of the 100 or so people displaying the blue and white anti-expan-

sion signs were “being intimidated and had started taking their signs down”.

Fearing attacks on their property some were installing security cameras but were wary of making reports of vandalised signs to police.

One blue sign was reportedly knocked over by a car and set alight over the weekend 21-22 September. A pensioner, 76, wrote to the mayor Cr David Gill reporting the incident and saying she was frightened for her safety “after Friday night’s violence and the hate posts on Facebook”.

She said she had decided to take her blue anti-airfield sign indoors at night and put it up again in the morning.

“Many [signs] have been taken down from time to time – not by us – but recently there has been a concerted effort by pro-airport people to remove most of them,” she said.

“The airport people are putting up their own signs but they should not be removing ours.”

The woman said she had been warned by neighbours to remove her sign at night for fears it would be vandalised.

Neither Mr Vevers nor Cr Gill could be contacted by deadline for comment.

THE milk snake that a Mt Eliza man swapped for on Facebook for a PlayStation.

Picture: Peter Paplanus

Illegal snake swapped for a PlayStation A Mt Eliza Man has been fined $500 after pleaded guilty to keeping an illegal and high-risk invasive snake.

The 20-year-old, who exchanged a PlayStation for a milk snake on Facebook last year, was fined without conviction at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 17 September.

The maximum penalty for importing, keeping or selling a controlled pest animal in Victoria is $39,652.

“We are very concerned when we get a call about an exotic species being found in Victoria because of the enormous potential to threaten our native species and agriculture,” chief conservation regulator, Kate Gavens said.

“Our investigators received information alerting them to the milk snake and launched an investigation.”

Ms Gavens said milk snakes were from North America and were illegal to keep in Victoria as they are an exotic species and could potentially spread diseases to native wildlife.

“Its important people understand what animals you can and can’t keep in Victoria. In Victoria, it is illegal to trade in controlled pest animals, including milk snakes,” she said.

“It is against the law to trade in controlled pest animals such as milk snakes. Illegally traded animals are often imported and kept in ways that are cruel to the animals.”

Information about the illegal possession and trade of exotic species can be reported anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au/ report-a-crime/

Free hearing test for seniors DURING the Seniors Festival Nepean Hearing is offering free hearing tests for seniors.

The number of Australians who are hearing impaired is increasing because of: n the Ageing Population –we are living longer n excessive Noise - in the workplace and high level music Hearing loss is often described as the ‘invisible disability’. People often wait for 5-10 years before they seek help. Hearing loss may also be a contributing factor in the speed of onset of dementia. The degree of loss is also correlated to the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. It is important to know about your hearing.

Many people ignore the signs of hearing loss, which include turning the TV or stereo up so loud that others complain, frequently needing to ask others to repeat themselves and not being able to hear properly on the telephone.

Constant ringing is also another warning sign of hearing loss.

As technology advances, many people with hearing loss benefit from hearing aids. These innovations have made a positive difference in the way they can communicate and enjoy their lives.

Nepean Hearing is an independently owned clinic and the audiologists are University of Melbourne trained.

For hearing screenings our main office is located across the road from Frankston Hospital at 13 Hastings Road, Frankston, phone: 9783 7520. We are also located at: 171 Camms Rd Cranbourne, phone: 5966 1117, and Hastings Community Health, 185 High Street Hastings, phone: 97837520.

Free hearing tests for Seniors during Seniors Month Seniors receive a $20 Woolworths voucher during seniors month.

Prepaid funerals for peace of mind BY choosing a prepaid funeral with Simplicity Funerals, you can have the send-off you want as well as ease the burdens – both emotional and financial – for you and your loved ones.

Thinking about and talking about the end of your life – or the lives of your loved ones – is emotional and difficult; inevitable as death may be for all of us, contemplating it can seem a bit morbid and depressing. Many even consider it a taboo subject. But discussing some matters surrounding our mortality can have peace-of-mind benefits both for us and for those family and friends left behind.

For example, have you told those closest to you what you want to happen when you die? Conversely, do you know the post-mortem wishes of your loved ones? These are important considerations, especially when it comes to planning a funeral or memorial service.

Would you want someone who doesn’t know what your wishes are burdened with trying to figure it out for your funeral? For instance, do you want them guessing whether you’d prefer to be buried or cremated?

What kind of service would you like?

What personal touches would you want to make it a true reflection of you and your life? Planning a funeral is stressful and emotional enough, even when you do know the answers to these questions.

One option is to consider a prepaid funeral; doing so encourages you

A prepaid funeral is a smart choice and your loved ones to address some of these challenging but necessary questions ahead of time.

With a prepaid funeral plan in place, you alleviate the oftensignificant financial burden for your loved ones, as you’ve paid for it in advance. What’s more, you can arrange the service you’d like, making all of your own decisions – and at your own pace. Perhaps

instead of the sombre affairs of old-school funerals, you want your service to be more like a party to celebrate your life.

Having this outline in place can be a comfort to your immediate family, both because it unburdens them and because they can be happy knowing your final wishes are being fulfilled.

Plus, mourners will experience a service that authentically represents

you – because you planned it.

Finally, when the time comes and you pass away, with a prepaid funeral, your family will have the guidance and assistance of an experienced funeral director, who is aware of – and an advocate for – your final wishes.

To be able to delegate this key administrative role to the funeral director can be a welcome support

and relief to those family and friends who are overcome by grief. It’s one less thing to have to think about during a very difficult time.

A prepaid funeral is a smart choice: For further information please visit the website www. simplicityfunerals.com.au/ prepaying-a-funeral or call the team at Simplicity Funerals Frankston on 9783 4333.

PREPAY TODAY. NOTHING TO PAY TOMORROW. A prepaid funeral means no extra costs*.

It’s a simple choice.

Life starts at 50 HAS the family home become a pain to maintain with the kids no longer around to help mow the lawns or clear the gutters? Perhaps you’re contemplating a move to something more manageable but don’t want to retire from the things that make you happy?

Well thanks to a luxury development in Melbourne’s South East, with no stamp duty, conveyancing fees, or ongoing council rates to pay, there’s never been a better time to downsize to a bigger life and enjoy the fruits of your hard work.

Lifestyle Chelsea Heights offers new opportunities for fun and friendship in a secure community of working, semi-retired and retired people over 50. Homeowners enjoy 5-star resort-style facilities set in fully landscaped and maintained gardens, such as an indoor heated pool and spa, outdoor pool, cinema, gym, library and computer centre, bowling green, alfresco BBQ dining space and a community bus for visits out and about town.

Built by Todd Devine Homes, all contemporary-styled homes feature quality fixtures and fittings, landscaped front and back gardens and split-system heating and cooling. Front gardens are maintained by the community gardener, leaving homeowners more time to relax and do more of what they love.

Homeowners can spend their spare time enjoying activities like yoga,

aerobics classes, dancing, woodwork or attend wellness seminars and other social calendar events such as cocktail happy hours, karaoke, and trivia nights. All of which might just represent a new beginning for those who are young at heart and deserving of a little luxury, with enough “wow-factor” to make the kids just a bit jealous.

A community management team lives onsite to oversee the community and help homeowners with many of the small but important administrative elements of daily life. This is also a wonderful enabler for those who like to travel, as you can rest assured that when you go on holidays, your front garden is being maintained, your on-site Community Managers are keeping an eye on things, and you can have the confidence of living within a safe and secure gated community.

Aside from amazing facilities and features, homeowners at 18 Lifestyle locations around Victoria describe the feeling of settling into their community of likeminded neighbours as an embrace.

According to Steve and Lyn from Lifestyle Chelsea Heights, living the life you deserve is about so much more than wonderful facilities and fun activities to keep you busy. “It’s the neighbourhood. We have a sense of neighbourhood like when we were young.”

Lifestyle Communities offers the perfect blend of a relaxed location amongst a cosmopolitan lifestyle,

Green light for Greenways GREENWAYS is very proud of its village and community but understands that ‘making the move’ to a village is a big decision. There are lots of factors to consider. It may be that a resident has recommended life at Greenways. Or perhaps its reputation for more than 40 years as an honest and caring establishment has attracted you.

Residents will tell you that so many aspects of your life can change positively when you live at Greenways. It is a rare opportunity but two units and one apartment became vacant last month.

To help you choose, Greenways has listed some of the factors that its residents considered were most important when they were making the decision to move to Greenways’ village on the Peninsula: • Enables independence as you age • Downsizing while physically capable • Freedom from house responsibilities • Close to public transport and shops

• Safe environment • Emergency alarm service • Near or with easy access to medical services • Financial independence with the option of buying your own unit and having money to spend • On-site maintenance • Access to village management • Reputation of the village • Reputation of the owners • Socialisation with people your own age and with similar interests • Entry and exit fees are upfront and simple Greenways offers all this and more. That’s why, in a recent survey, 98 per cent of Greenways residents said they would — and do — recommend life at Greenways to their friends.

Greenways Village is at 330 FrankstonDandenong Rd, Seaford. Phone 9786 8679. www.greenwaysvillage.com.au.

Improve your mobility AFTER experiencing an accident, injury, illness or surgery, the prospect of how to begin your journey to recovery can be a confronting concept, particularly when you have been suffering for a prolonged period of time.

Before your admission, you are assessed by a rehabilitation nurse who works with you to establish your individual goals and the best possible way to achieve them.

Experience the boutique retirement dream at Mountain View Leongatha MOUNTAIN View Leongatha is a boutique lifestyle retirement village. It will only have 45 villas on completion and is very unique compared to the many larger villages that exist. It is for this reason that many have made the move into this exclusive community.

A lifestyle village for the active retiree or semi-retired who embraces life. Currently, Mountain View Leongatha has 43 residents occupying 26 villas.

Mountain View Leongatha offers resort living everyday with the Community Centre operational right from the start which in turn has brought new residents in sooner rather than later.

Family and friends are often seen using the saltchlorinated pool, bowling green, lounge/dining and games areas – it really is the hub of many activities. It is also a pet friendly village.

Much thought was given to the interior design of the Villas which include 24 hour emergency call systems, contemporary kitchens, stylish living areas, spacious bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms and parking spaces or garages. The focus of building the villas was to enhance your lifestyle, security and freedom.

Mountain View Leongatha helps people personalise their retirement, offering two financial options to suit your budget. The money saved when buying in at a lower price because we are regional, allows residents the opportunity to invest their savings and fund their lifestyle. We can provide assistance to help you understand the legal, financial and

service aspects when considering the benefits of a lifestyle change and answer any queries you may have regarding retirement living.

Mountain View Leongatha is a lifestyle investment. We have had many residents move from the likes of Merimbula, Mount Martha, Bendigo, Lilydale & Pakenham. Many have chosen Leongatha as their new address because they know what South Gippsland has to offer – they may have holidayed here in the past or have just decided to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city yet not be too far to return to Melbourne for day trips. Many have decided on the sea-change, tree-change and me-change.

Leongatha township is a lovely country town with a range of facilities and great local hospital which recently had a $30m redevelopment.

Many great day trips are available within the Gippsland area and Melbourne is very accessible if the city beckons. Travel seems to be high on the list of things to do. Only a 30 minute trip from Leongatha and you will be on the coast with Wilsons Promontory National Park and Philip Island is not too far to also explore. So the choice is yours, either sea-change or treechange all in one.

With only 9 Villas remaining we suggest that you consider us soon as the option to purchase will be reducing day by day due to this being a smaller boutique lifestyle village.

Call now on 1300 306 255 to make an appointment or check out our website www. mountainviewleongatha.com.au and view the villas and village.

VICTORIA’S only water, wildlife and theme park, Gumbuya World, launches its first ever music event with an exciting, star studded line up featuring Australia’s favourite singers and songwriters for Gumbuya Sounds of Nature on Saturday 30 November 2019.

Surrounded by stunning greenery, nature and thrilling rides, pop legend Daryl Braithwaite will headline the exciting outdoor live music event playing some familiar songs that everyone can sing along to. Right now, Daryl Braithwaite is showing no signs of slowing down. In 2017, Daryl entered the ARIA Hall of Fame as a solo artist.

Recognised as one of the most talented rock musicians to emerge from Australia, Jon Stevens joins the line-up for Gumbuya Sounds of Nature.

For lovers of great music, a concert experience with Jon Stevens is up there with the very best From his Noiseworks days and hits such as Welcome to the World, No Lies, Touch and Hot Chilli Woman – to fronting The Dead Daisies and INXS, he has made an indelible impact with his amazing vocals. Jon also has an incredible solo catalogue. His live shows are dynamic, high energy and will keep audiences on their feet Aussie chart topper, Vanessa Amorosi has earned her place as being regarded as one of Australia’s most iconic female voices. Her recent return to the Australian stage has been embraced by audiences. Her debut album, The Power (2000) demonstrated that she was a force to be reckoned with. It notched up six nominations at the ARIA Awards and saw her sing at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Audiences are in for a treat with a performance from unquestionably one of Australia’s finest live acts, Thirsty Merc.

The band’s big break came in 2004 with the release of their debut, self-titled, album which included the hits, Someday Someday and In The Summertime.

Reece Mastin is loved all over the countryside and with a career kicking off in the 2000’s after winning X Factor Aust in 2011 as a 16 year old and achieving so much at such a young age including 2 Platinum #1 albums, three

consecutive chart topping singles, Aria chart #1,2 and #1 singles respectively.

Joining the line-up is one of Australia’s most talented musicians and undoubtedly one of the country’s best guitarist, Phil Ceberano. Phil has put together what he calls his dream band; a celebration of all things rock, groove and soul. Paying homage to great music of the late 20th century.

“Gumbuya Sounds of Nature is one of many music events that we are planning to host at Gumbuya World. We couldn’t be more excited to kick things off with some of the greatest names in Australian music and we’re looking forward to welcoming thousands of live music fans from across Victoria and interstate this November,” said Ron Weinzerl, CEO of Gumbuya World.

“Grab your family and friends and mark this event in your calendars! This is a music event you won’t want to miss! There’s nothing better than listening to your favourite music surrounded by nature and exciting rides at Gumbuya World.

Gumbuya Sounds of Nature is truly a unique Australian music experience and a great way to celebrate the start of summer,” Mr Weinzerl said.

Gumbuya Sounds of Nature is an all ages event that will take place at Gumbuya World on Saturday 30 November from 4.30pm – 10.30pm.

Tickets start from $93 and can be purchased by visiting www.gumbuya.com.au/whatson/ soundsofnature. Tickets are limited, so don’t miss out!

Only 50 minutes south east of Melbourne, Gumbuya World offers an epic adventure fit for the whole family with four worlds to explore; Oasis Springs, Oz Adventure, Outback Explorers and Wildlife Trail.

Gumbuya World is located at 2705 Princes Highway, Tynong. For more information visit https://gumbuya.com.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Peninsula premiership won by Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE grand final of the Peninsula Association was played on Saturday at Somerville, Frankston winning the premierships after a strenuous contest was manifested, and a large crowd assembled to witness the match.

Mornington, who at the beginning of the season were apparently invincible, had lost a lot of their dash, and the team lacked cohesion and system.

Frankston, on the contrary, had improved on every day’s play, and on Saturday were undoubtedly the superior side.

Moon, Gregory, and P. Darcy were out, and, Reddick, Tevendale, and E. McComb took their places. Except for these alterations, the team was the same that met Hastings on the previous Saturday.

Connell, Mornington’s captain, was out owing to injuries, and although well served by their leading men, Mornington had many players not up to standard.

Their great weakness was in the forward lines, where men were seldom in their places, and to this fact must be assigned the reason for their defeat.

The wind was a factor slightly favouring the tennis court goal, and Frankston has its assistance first, but were only seven points ahead at the change.

Mornington did better, and at halftime had not only wiped off the deficit, but were leading by nine points.

Frankston’s time came again in the third term; they added 5 goals 3 points while Mornington’s scoring remained stationary.

Eight goals to four in Frankston’s

favour at the last change was a great handicap, but sensational deeds have been recorded in even one quarter’s football.

Mornington made a stern fight, and reduced their opponents’ lead considerably, but the final bell found them still two goals behind. *** OUR LETTER BOX. FRANKSTON LIGHTING. To the Editor.

Sir, In view of the statements appearing in recent issues on this subject may we be permitted to make some observations in reply.

Why these complaints, we ask, at a time when we have been passing through the most difficult period in our company’s experience?

For weeks our efforts have been taxed to the utmost to keep up a supply of lighting and our staff has been kept at constant strain to produce gas at all from the very low gas contents of the slack coal placed at our disposal by the Coal Board at considerable cost.

As a matter of fact, operations were conducted at a loss during the Seamen’s dispute, notwithstanding, a gas supply was maintained, though on several occasions every pound of coal was used up before further supplies arrived.

We were faced with the position of being unable to generate sufficient gas for both gas and electric services.

As for town lighting, gas cooking and private lighting in many cases depended on gas, we gave this service preference in the interests of the greater number.

This arrangement left an inadequate

gas supply for the gas engines which run the larger electric generator.

We were consequently, reduced to the running of the small generating set throughout the evenings which ordinarily is run from a late hour to early morning.

This arrangement we know gave a very inadequate service, but it was the best possible under the circumstances.

Now that we are able to obtain supplies of proper gas making coal the larger plant is again supplying a satisfactory electric service.

Consumers cannot expect the same advantages as in a city electric service.

We have about ten miles of transmission lines carrying about as many consumers as could be supplied from half a mile of transmission line in a city street.

Frequent interruption to lines result from gales of wind causing contact of trees with lines or contact of one wire with another resulting in an interruption of current; as these occur at night it is impossible to locate the trouble along dark roads until daylight when the lines can be patrolled.

Frankston is one the worst of districts for electrical transmission owing to the number of trees and scrub on the line routes which grow rapidly and have constantly to be cut back.

Other causes of stoppage, we could mention, have occurred, for which we are in no way responsible.

Causes likely to interrupt services are being overcome and we see no reason why a satisfactory electric service cannot be assured for the future.

The town of Frankston is fortunate in having both a gas and electric supply

and it is doubtful if any other town in the Commonwealth of equal size can claim this distinction.

For the information of those who do not know and to remind those who may have forgotten – some years ago there was a gas company in Frankston.

A dispute arose between it and the then Shire Council, and the company eventually ceased to supply gas and removed the greater part of its gas mains and some of the plant.

We purchased the interests of the old concern, it being proposed to remove the plant to another town.

We were, however, approached and asked to re-establish the works and were promised support by residents and the Shire Council. We eventually agreed to do so.

Other mains were laid, plant added and the supply of gas started.

For some years the concern did not pay. We claim that by our enterprise we have done more for the advancement of the town of Frankston than any other person or body.

In the matter of public lighting and in other ways we have sought to meet the council in every way possible.

Two years ago we were receiving for lighting £7 10s per month, and today it is £11 5s.

The service included gas, lighting and extinguishing, mantles, chimneys etc.

A lot is apparently expected from us but there has not been much by way of encouragement to us.

In regard to complaints – as is often the case, those who have the most to say in the matter, have the least cause for so doing; others of our consumers

The new firm took charge on Wednesday last and their business announcement appears in another column.

It is the intention of Mr Coxall and family to continue residing in Frankston for the present. *** MR A. McKinnon, who has purchased the freehold of the Prince of Wales Hotel, Frankston, has had plans prepared for extensive improvements to the existing building, including a new balcony.

In exhibiting the plans to a local resident last week Mr McKinnon said he intended spending well over £1,000, on the work.

He promises to be a progressive townsman and is likely to take a keen interest in the progress of the place.

TIM FREEDMAN - WHITLAMS CLASSICS AND A FEW NEW SONGS gold albums in their repertoire.

Tim’s solo performances are a mixture of charming cynicism and delicate piano, and have become as popular as his four-piece band shows. The Whitlams’ success has always been about the emotional core of his songs, and when the rock adornments are removed and the band left at home, that core is laid bare in the intimate atmosphere of a piano bar. Tim’s show will draw songs from across his entire career including “No Aphrodisiac”, “Blow Up the Pokies”, “Buy Now and Pay Later” and “Thank You (for loving me at my worst)”.

The last few years have seen the band play their “Best of” with every state orchestra

around the country including seven nights with the Sydney Symphony at the Sydney Opera House. Their 1997 album, “Eternal Nightcap”, was recently voted No. 17 in the Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time on Triple J. In January 2019 The Whitlams were the house band on ABC’s ‘Australian of the Year’ telecast in which they mashed Baker Boys “Mr La Di Da Di” with their own hit “You Sound Like Louise Burdett”. More recently they completed a national tour playing their 1999 album “Love this City” which was given a four star review in the Sydney Morning Herald saying the album ”has held up as well as Freedman’s affecting tenor”.

TIM Freedman has been talking about impending new songs for years. Now he is putting it in writing that he will perform some new material in his solo tour this October and November 2019, and that he is prepared to be run out of town if he doesn’t deliver.

“Hopefully the new songs aren’t too successful though, otherwise I’ll earn too much to retain my franking credits. Unfortunately, like every one else in the world, I just had to express myself.”

Freedman is best known as the frontman and songwriter of Australian band ‘The Whitlams’ – an Australian Recording Industry Group of the Year with three platinum and two

Winners and losers in 2019 DIVISION ONE SEASON WRAP

By Brodie Cowburn Winners: Dromana THE Tigers came into division one full of confidence after winning promotion last year, but not even their most optimistic fans could have predicted the success to come.

Dromana were impressive in 2018 and ran out deserving premiers of the second division. They made history by becoming the first side to be promoted in the new two division MPNFL format, and their performance in division one would prove to be an interesting insight into the gap between the two competitions.

Dromana didn’t miss a beat and relished the opportunity to play against the best. An excellent run of results at their home ground helped prop up

their season, and they ended up heading into the finals in third position.

They only finished below last year’s grand finalists Pines and Sorrento on the ladder.

After knocking off reigning premiers Pines in week one, Dromana were comfortably defeated by Sorrento in week two of finals. They didn’t drop their heads though, and came back to win their grand final spot with a win over Bonbeach.

The Tigers avenged their previous loss to the Sharks by claiming the win over them in the grand final.

The win capped off a dream year as Dromana went back to back.

Bonbeach BONBEACH had a disappointing 2018 season, missing the finals series. Under the guidance of Steve Hughes and Trent Dennis-Lane, they showed great improvement this year to prove they could hang with the

best of them The Sharks came into finals with a 50/50 record, but looked a dangerous side all throughout the finals series.

They knocked off powerhouse club Frankston YCW in the first elimination final with ease, but it was the following week where they would truly impress.

Faced with the task of knocking off the reigning premiers, Bonbeach smashed Pines to move onto the preliminary final. Although Dromana eventually stopped their run, the Sharks can hold their heads high after an impressive finals run.

Formerly AFL listed player Trent Dennis-Lane played a big role all year and helped his side to a better result in 2019.

Peter Williamson will coach the Sharks in 2020.

Losers: Mornington

AFTER showing glimpses of promise in season 2018, Mornington came into the year with hopes of a decent showing. Unfortunately for them, it was not to be.

The Bulldogs found themselves rooted to the bottom of the ladder for most of the year, and copped some big losses.

They ended up bottom by a game and a massive percentage difference.

They will play in the second division next season.

Pines THE reigning premiers started the year off on the right foot, but found themselves out of form at the wrong time.

A difficult run into finals saw Pines finish second by two games, but they still remained a side with the quality to beat any team if they played at their best.

The Pythons couldn’t correct

course by the time finals came around, and were shockingly eliminated in straight sets. Their premiership defence fell flat with consecutive losses to Dromana and Bonbeach.

Their 2020 season will be made more difficult by the losses of powerful midfielder Paul Scanlon and Tim Bongetti.

Frankston YCW POWERHOUSE club Frankston YCW had a difficult time with injury and form last season, which resulted in a second week finals exit.

Despite their attempts to restore themselves to their past glory, they fell short again this season when Bonbeach defeated them in the first elimination final.

Next year will see some changes at the club, with 2017 premiership coach Wayne Capp set to depart.

Stirton quits, Hine signs on again SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie DAVID Stirton has left Langwarrin while Josh Hine has agreed terms for a second season at Mornington.

Stirton contacted head coach Scott Miller and club president Tanya Wallace last week to inform them of his decision.

The 28-year-old was one of the more experienced NPL players on the club’s books having had stints with South Melbourne, Bentleigh Greens, Dandenong City and Port Melbourne and is regarded as one of the best set piece specialists in the competition.

“It’s just about game time,” Stirton said, a reference to the number of matches last season in which he failed to make the starting line-up.

“I came off the bench a number of times and scored some important goals but the next week I was back on the bench again.

“I spoke to Scott about it and he said he didn’t want to change a winning team even when my goals were winning us points.

“I didn’t want to be a supersub again. I think I’m better than that and I just found it really frustrating.

“I wanted to finish my career at Langy but obviously that’s not going to be the case now.”

Stirton has already fielded offers from other NPL clubs including one from Doveton which brought his father Iain to Australia for the 1983 season.

“I’m not keen to drop below NPL2 so let’s see what comes up,” he added.

Stirton and Jordan Templin tied for Langy’s Golden Boot award this year.

At this stage eight of last year’s senior squad have agreed terms for next season and every senior player has met with the club and been made an offer.

The ones that have signed on are Wayne Wallace, Jamie Cumming, Jaiden Madafferi, Fraser Maclaren, Brandon Jansz, Damir Stoilovic, Alex Van Heerwarden and Dylan Kilner.

The club also has spoken to prospective newcomers but has yet to agree terms with any of them.

Scottish midfielder Scott Lochhead has been training at Lawton Park and still could be on Langy’s radar if his visa issues are resolved.

The 22-year-old has an impressive CV which includes spells with Rangers, Celtic, Dundee United and Dunfermline and he arrived in Melbourne in February to join Bentleigh Greens.

It’s unclear whether John Baird will rejoin Langy after the experienced Scottish striker’s inaugural Australian

season there.

Baird returned to Scotland a few weeks ago to take up a short-term deal with former club Raith Rovers currently on top of League One. On Sunday at Langwarrin’s junior NPL presentation day Taylan Unal won the Ben Caffrey award as the club’s NPL junior player of the year.

Unal had a remarkable season winning the best and fairest and players’ player awards in the club’s championship winning under-15s side.

He also won the league Golden Boot award with 44 goals making him the top scorer in both the East and West divisions of the competition.

Meanwhile Mornington reached agreement with English import Hine last week.

It was a boost for the Dallas Brooks Park club as Hine had a few NPL suitors keen to use the services of the former Salford and Boston United player.

“That’s a big one for us,” Mornington gaffer Adam Jamieson said.

Hine has made quite an impression in his first Australian season, winning the club’s top scorer award and finishing second in the league equivalent.

The club has also agreed terms with Taylor Davidson, Kyron Kerr, Sam

Scott, Craig Smart and Andy McIntyre and when Jamieson returns from a two-week holiday he’ll be holding a series of meetings with current players and prospective targets.

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers head coach Danny Verdun has decided to take a break from coaching.

Verdun returned on Sunday from a brief trip to the Gold Coast with wife Cathy and let Strikers president Adrian Scialpi know of his decision.

“As a club we will always be in debt to Danny who has become a friend and who leaves on very, very good terms,” Scialpi said.

“We want everyone to know how much we value his professionalism which was a wonderful asset to our club and we can’t be more grateful for what he brought to us this year.”

Strikers will sort out their senior and reserves coaching positions over the next week.

Verdun’s assistant Neil Standish is also keen to take a step back from coaching due to family commitments but is likely to be involved in some capacity.

In State 3 news both Max Boulton and Alex Whyte are firmly on Frankston Pines’ radar while senior

coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor remains on the lookout for an assistant.

Both Boulton and Whyte played under Taylor for Langwarrin’s under-20s in the 2018 season.

Boulton played with Casey Comets last season while Whyte switched to Peninsula Strikers but they are no certainties to sign for Pines as other clubs have shown interest.

In State 4 news head coach George Hughes and assistant Robert Mathieson look set to stay at Baxter.

Hughes confirmed this last weekend but struck a note of caution after his baptism of fire last season.

“I don’t want to go through what we went through last pre-season regarding players,” Hughes said, referring to the struggles the club had to field a senior side just to meet its FFA Cup commitments.

This continued into the early part of the league campaign but Hughes and Mathieson finished off the season with a highly competitive and confident side which defeated local rival Seaford United and only lost to third-placed Sandown Lions through the only goal of the contest in the 96th minute.

“If we can keep the squad together and add a couple of new players then

I think we could do something next year,” Hughes added.

Holding onto the versatile Stuart McKenzie is a priority as he has attracted the attention of a number of clubs.

One newcomer could be ex-Peninsula Strikers and Frankston Pines defender Laban Stringer.

The 24-year-old could be used in central defence alongside experienced defender Matt McDermott freeing club captain Izaak Barr to play as a full-back or a holding midfielder.

State 4 looms as one of the more interesting leagues in 2020 with Somerville Eagles being promoted to that level of competition so derbies against Baxter and Seaford United are on the horizon.

The clash with Seaford will be of special significance for Somerville goalscoring legend Dave Greening who rewrote the record books during a highly successful spell at North Seaford Reserve between 2011 and 2014.

Somerville’s joint senior coaches Scott Morrison and Greening and reserves coach and senior assistant Stan Packer will hold talks this week before meeting with director of football Zach Peddersen to discuss the upcoming season.

The club already has identified players that it wants to target and expects to retain “about 90 per cent of last season’s senior squad” according to Morrison.

Charlie Conrath won’t be one of them as he is set to return to the UK but Morrison is keen for veteran striker Mark Pagliarulo to pull on his boots once more.

“He’s more than capable and he had a brilliant year for us and could back it up easily,” Morrison said.

An upgrade of Tyabb Central Reserve should get underway next month and be completed by Christmas while Barber Reserve has been allocated $200,000 to upgrade the facilities and floodlights.

A $50,000 feasibility study at Barakee Drive Reserve in Somerville should begin shortly when soil testing is conducted.

In State 5 news Lee Barber and assistant Thomas Raby look set to be reappointed at Aspendale Stingrays.

Barber was in charge of the youngest squad in the league last season and is optimistic about his side’s prospects in 2020.

“If we can add a couple of onfield leaders then we should do well,” he said.

Campbell Rawiller rides first winner HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou IT took just five rides for 18-year-old apprentice jockey, Campbell Rawiller, to ride his first career winner at Moe on Tuesday 24 September.

After making his race riding debut at Jerilderie, NSW (a non-TAB meeting) on the previous Saturday, Rawiller made the most of his sole ride at Moe aboard the Cameron Templetontrained Girl On a Train.

Despite not being wanted in the market and jumping at $31, Rawiller entered the race with hope and settled his mount down at the rear of the field.

Utilising his lightweight, Rawiller stormed home down the outside fence to score an impressive last-to-first victory in the Rising Stars series heat.

The son of multiple Group One winning jockey, Nash Rawiller, said it was a massive thrill to score his first winner from his first ride in Victoria.

“When I was in front, I got very excited that’s for sure,” Campbell Rawiller said. “It was a huge rush and thrill and just all the jockeys too, they were all so good to me - everyone came up and congratulated me.”

Rawiller has transitioned from riding in 35 trials to riding in races as smoothly as one could hope, with his boss, Mornington-based trainer Logan McGill, saying he’s taken it all in his stride.

“He wasn’t as nervous as I was at the races,” McGill said. “I thought he’s given every horse a chance. It’s a big thing going from the trials to the races, but I thought he did a fantastic job that

first day and then to back it up with a winner on his second was fantastic.

“We are absolutely rapt for him.

He’s done such a good job in a short amount of time and it was just good to see him get that and get on his way.”

As well as having plenty of support from his family, friends, coaches and trainers, Rawiller said making the most of his experience at the trials has helped a lot with the transition to race riding.

“Obviously in trials you’re not trying to go for your position as quickly as you are in a race but I really tried to prioritise throughout my trials not just to ride the trial but I really wanted to focus on jumping and straight away putting a horse into position,” he said.

“If that meant bringing them back to slot in for cover, it makes a big difference for when you get to race day and it’s not all a big surprise. It’s great to now finally be out there racing and putting it together.”

Rawiller is looking forward to the coming months with plenty of nonTAB meetings fixtured in the calendar as he aims to gain further experience and work through his claim.
