Young golfers on collison course TWELVE of Australia’s best young female golfers will compete in a tournament in Frankston this weekend.

The Athena tournament will be hosted at Frankston’s Peninsula Kingswood Country Golf Club on 24 and 25 February. After facing a series of skills challenges on day one, the eight highest ranked players will play off for the title on day two.

The 12 golfers set to do battle are Kelsey Bennett, Cassie Porter, Amy Chu, Claire Shin, Caitlin Peirce, Jess Whitting, Skye Lampton, Rhianna Lewis, Sarah Yamaki Branch (pictured left at last year’s tournament), Elmay Viking, Steph Bunque, and Dannie Vasquez.

Spectators are admitted free into the ground. The Athena will also be broadcast live on Fox Sports and Kayo.

Council changes confirmed Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE state government is moving ahead with plans to introduce single-member wards across most Victorian councils.

After the Local Government Act 2020 was implemented, councils statewide began gradually shifting to singlemember wards. Kingston Council was among those that made the switch at

the 2020 local government elections.

A review into Frankston Council’s structure was undertaken last year. Last week, the state government confirmed it had accepted the recommendation of the Electoral Representation Advisory Panels and would proceed with implementing single-member wards at 39 councils.

Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Shire councils will both elect one coun-

cillor per ward at the local government elections in October.

Local government minister Melissa Horne said the changes would “ensure that Victorian councils will be set up to effectively represent their communities.”

“These new ward boundaries will be in place for the local government elections this year – an important step in our work to reform local government

and meet the expectations of communities right across Victoria,” Horne said.

After the Local Government Act 2020 was passed, criticism was voiced over the change to single-member wards. At the time, Victorian Greens leader Samantha Ratnam said “moving all councils to a single member ward structure will increase the likelihood that councils are controlled entirely by major parties and that decision making

is dominated by ward interests over the common good of the council area.” (“Council changes may hurt small parties and independents” The Times 4/5/20) The electoral structure review recommended that Frankston Council be divided into nine wards.

Man dead at beach A MAN has been found dead at Frankston Beach.

The man was pulled from the water by emergency services workers a little before 5pm on 12 February. He died at the scene.

Police say the death is not being treated as suspicious. A report will be prepared for the coroner.

Hall Road reopens after upgrades CLOSED lanes on Hall Road have reopened to traffic after the completion of major upgrade works.

The state and federal governments have spent $141.25 million each upgrading Hall Road. Work began in 2022, and major works wrapped up last week.

In total, 5.2 kilometres of new lanes were completed and new signalised intersections were installed at McCormicks Road, Taylors Road, Western Port Highway, and Evans and Cranbourne-Frankston roads.

Minor works will take place

throughout the rest of this year. The state government says that the end of major works came nine months ahead of schedule.

Federal infrastructure minister Catherine King said “the Australian Government is working with the Victorian Government to ensure the state’s roads and transport networks are in the best possible condition and well planned for the community. The Hall Road upgrade is one of a number of major improvements to the road and rail network in Melbourne’s south-east to connect growing com-

munities, ease congestion on local roads, and improve access to public transport.”

Victorian transport infrastructure minister Danny Pearson said the finished project will “better connect local communities in Melbourne’s outer south east to jobs, healthcare and education while greatly improving traffic flow along Hall Road.”

The state government estimates that around 17,000 people use the road a day.

THE Frankston Football Club has posted another profit.

The VFL club has published its 2023 annual report. It confirmed that last year, the club recorded a net profit of a little more than $13,000. In 2022 it posted a narrow profit of just more than $1000, and in 2021 recorded a $400,000 surplus and declared its debts paid.

In the 2023 annual report, club president David Friend wrote that the club had originally budgeted for a $150,000 loss.

The recent positive financial reports are a far cry from where the Dolphins were in the past. The club had its VFL license stripped and owed a $1.5 million debt in 2016. It was readmitted into the VFL in 2018.

The promise is the latest in the Liberals’ campaign to win Dunkley off Labor at the 2 March by-election.

The project would need matched funding from the state government and council to proceed.

Liberal Party Dunkley candidate Nathan Conroy said the project “forms part of my long term vision for delivering for the people of Frankston and I know the people of Carrum Downs are keen to see this upgrade delivered.”

“We will work with a future Victorian state government and local council that is willing to deliver this project, requiring equal financial contributions of $2 million each,” he said.

Nine wards at next council election Continued from page 1 The proposed new names of the nine divisons are Ballam Ward, Centenary Park Ward, Derinya Ward, Elisabeth Murdoch Ward, Kananook Ward, Lyrebird Ward, Pines Ward, Wilton Ward, and Yamala Ward.

The former North-East Ward has been divided into the Centenary Park, Wilton, and Lyrebird wards. The southern part of the former NorthEast Ward is included in the Elisabeth Murdoch Ward alongside former South Ward land. The rest of South Ward is divided between Yamala, Derinya, and Ballam wards. Ballam also contains part of the old North-West Ward. The rest of North-West Ward is shared between Kananook and Pines wards.

The electoral structure review’s final report read that the new boundaries would “ensure a greater number of communities would be united in wards compared with other models and options. As such, the panel considered that on balance communities of interest would have a reasonable opportunity to elect a candidate to represent them.”

“While it is difficult to predict the number of candidates likely to stand at future elections, past election results provide some indication. The panel examined election results for Frankston City Council including the numbers of candidates who nominated, incidences of uncontested elections and rates of informal voting.

It found there were relatively strong candidate numbers across all wards.

The panel assumes this trend will continue under a structure of 9 single

councillor wards, minimising the risk of uncontested or failed elections,” the report read.

DUNKLEY BY-ELECTION

Candidates target cost of living Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

JODIE BELYEA (Labor Party)

EARLY voting has begun in the Dunkley by-election.

Polling day for the by-election is on 2 March with eight candidates on the ballot - in ballot order they are Nathan Conroy (Liberal), Bronwyn Currie (Animal Justice), Chrysten Abraham (Libertarian), Reem Yunis (Victorian Socialists), Darren Bergwerf (Independent), Alex Breskin (Greens), Heath McKenzie (Australian Democrats), and Jodie Belyea (Labor).

Early voting centres have been set up at Lyrebird Community Centre in Carrum Downs, Functions by the Bay in Frankston, and 1st Ranelagh Scout Group in Mt Eliza. They are open from 8.30am to 5.30pm on weekdays (6pm on 1 March), and from 9am to 4pm on Saturday 24 February.

The Dunkley by-election was triggered by the death of incumbent MP Peta Murphy. She died of metastatic breast cancer in December.

Murphy won the seat for Labor in 2019. She retained it with an increased margin of 6.3 percent at the 2022 federal election.

Before Murphy’s 2019 win, the Liberals had held the seat since 1996.

Bruce Billson was the local member for 20 of those years.

The Times sent questions to all candidates last week about their priorities. All candidates who responded* identified cost of living as one of the most prominent issues facing Dunkley voters.

What do you do for work?

I founded and run the Women’s Spirit Project, a local not-for-profit that supports local women doing it tough. Over 6 years, we’ve helped empower women overcoming trauma and abuse.

How long have you lived in Dunkley?

I have lived in Dunkley for more than a decade. I live in Frankston with my husband Dave, our son Flynn who studies at Frankston High School, and we’ve got two dogs and a mortgage.

Why did you decide to run in this byelection?

I’m running because I love our community, and I want to make a real difference and improve people’s lives.

The late Peta Murphy encouraged me to think about public service. Peta and I shared similar values: compassion, fairness and a deep commitment to social justice.

My priorities, are easing the cost of living, strengthening Medicare, housing affordability and improving access to fee-free TAFE. What is the most prominent issue facing Dunkley voters?

When I’m out doorknocking in the community the top issue raised with me is cost of living.

My number one priority is helping locals with the cost of living - and that’s why I’m supportive of tax cuts to every taxpayer in Dunkley.

I’ll be a local MP that listens and advocates to make our local community in an even better place.

What local infrastructure projects should be prioritised?

We are delivering investment in local infrastructure - the Chisholm TAFE redevelopment, Hall Road upgrade, and the new Medicare Urgent Care Clinic.

Improving our health system, housing affordability, and making it easier for people to get access to TAFE and university, are priorities for me. At age 25, I went to TAFE as a mature aged student to study youth work and community development, it gave me the experience I needed to kick start my career.

What specific measures would you take to ease cost of living pressure?

I’m a strong supporter of giving tax relief to workers and Labor’s cost of living tax cuts will give every taxpayer in Dunkley a tax cut from 1 July. For instance, a retail worker at the Bayside Centre earning $73,000 a year will get a tax cut of $1,504 – that’s $804 more than under the Liberals.

Making prescription medicines cheaper is a practical way we can help older people with the cost of living.

Authorised by the Australian Electoral Officer for Victoria, 150 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, VIC Frankston Times

What do you do for work?

I have served as the mayor of Frankston City since 2021.

How long have you lived in Dunkley?

I have lived in Dunkley for six years. My wife, Steffie, was born and raised in Carrum Downs.

Why did you decide to run in this by-election?

In my time serving the community, I’ve seen first-hand that people are hurting under the Albanese Labor government. I’m passionate about the future of this community and believe I am the best candidate to represent it in federal parliament.

What is the most prominent issue facing Dunkley voters?

Voters are concerned about the Albanese government’s cost of living crisis, as well as Labor’s cuts to local infrastructure.

What local infrastructure projects should be prioritised?

Frankston-Baxter Rail Extension, Monterey Reserve Redevelopment in Frankston North, Bruce Park Pavilion in Frankston, Len Phelps Pavilion in Carrum Downs, and the revitalisation of Nepean Highway along with the modernisation of Mount Eliza Secondary College.

What specific measures would you take to ease cost of living pressure?

Under Labor, Australia’s inflation is higher than any major advanced economy. I’ll fight for - and be part of a team that delivers - responsible

economic and energy policies that lower inflation and take pressure off interest rates.

For example, we don’t need the 10,000 new bureaucrats this year Labor are hiring. We need to focus on better service delivery. We also need to back small businesses, rather than burden them with red tape and higher costs - so they can deliver better value for customers and grow our economy.

BRONWYN CURRIE (Animal Justice Party) What do you do for work?

Convenor, Animal Justice Party Victoria.

How long have you lived in Dunkley?

I live minutes from Dunkley - I’m the AJP regional leader of South-East metro.

Why did you decide to run in this byelection?

Human and non-human animals deserve representation. The Labor government does not care for iconic wildlife, they have not fulfilled their promise to phase out live sheep export by sea, they have allowed duck shooting to continue, the kangaroo culls continue and they are missing huge economic advantage by not investing in plant based and cell based businesses that will help to ease the burden of our food systems and improve the climate crisis.

What local infrastructure projects should be prioritised?

Affordable and appropriate housing developments with wildlife corridors considered a priority in planning.

What specific measures would you take to ease cost of living pressure?

The AJP would see Veticare implemented which would directly assist people with the cost of living crisis through subsidised veterinary care, similar to medicare for human animals.

CHRYSTEN ABRAHAM (Libertarian Party) What do you do for work?

I’m an employment relations specialist (HR), and work for a locally owned business.

How long have you lived in Dunkley?

My fiancé Hayden and I rent in Frankston with our fur baby, Lacey, and I have lived on the peninsula most of my adult life.

Why did you decide to run in this byelection?

To see change, I believe you have to try to enact that change yourself.

David Limbrick, our Libertarian MP for South-East Metro in Victorian Parliament has been able to make big, positive differences for our region, and if elected to Dunkley, I can absolutely make the same, positive impact at the federal level.

What local infrastructure projects should be prioritised?

If elected to represent our community, I will be advocating for the government to stop sending taxpayer money overseas, so it can be spent locally on educational infrastructure that enables school choice, such as vouchers to send your kids to a better school, or support for homeschooling. I’ll also advocate to cut red tape to enable more housing development, to increase the availability of rentals, apartments, units and houses.

What specific measures would you take to ease cost of living pressure?

• Cut fuel tax - 49c per litre, cheaper transport costs leads to cheaper groceries.

• Increase tax-free threshold to $45k, with flat 20% income tax.

• Let energy companies work to find the cheapest source, not government. Legalise Nuclear.

• Cut alcohol taxes – save $27 off a slab of beer.

• We must increase housing supply to solve the housing crisis.

REEM YUNIS (Victorian Socialists) What do you do for work?

For the past 24 years I have been a teacher.

How long have you lived in Dunkley?

For the past year and a half I’ve lived in Clyde North with my two daughters

and my grandchildren.

Why did you decide to run in this byelection?

There are two main reasons. I’m angered by the domination of big business interests in politics, and the lack of any real assistance to people doing it tough in the cost of living crisis. As a Palestinian-Australian I’ve also been appalled by Labor’s and the Liberal’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza. I want a government that stands against war and focuses on issues like housing, transport, education, and healthcare.

What local infrastructure projects should be prioritised?

I believe the Peninsula Rail Link should be built to extend the rail line to Rosebud. This should be the number one priority as it would have a number of positive flow-on effects like reducing traffic congestion and the problem of lack of parking around Frankston Station.

What specific measures would you take to ease cost of living pressure?

My policies include price controls on essential goods to stop supermarket giants and other corporations from ripping off consumers, a five-year freeze on rents, and establishing a free, publicly-run childcare system to reduce costs for families with young children.

DARREN BERGWERF (Independent) How long have you lived in Dunkley?

I have worked and lived in the Dunkley electorate since 2005 Why did you decide to run in this byelection?

I am running in this election to address the issues of: Expose Media bias and government corruption, drug, alcohol and mental service short falls, homelessness, housing/rental shortage crisis, exacerbated by excess (sic) immigra-

tion, cost of living, crime/suicide rates, which is a disassociated society. This needs to be rectified.

What specific measures would you take to ease cost of living pressure?

Monies being spent on new infrastructure when existing services are already serving the community and then redirect those monies to help the real needs of the community.

ALEX BRESKIN (Greens) What do you do for work?

I am a long-time campaigner, I studied information technology and systems in Monash University and I work full-time as a software engineer.

How long have you lived in Dunkley?

While I live a couple of suburbs over, I don’t currently live in the electorate.

I’ve been living in this corner of Melbourne for over 25 years, and I love it.

Why did you decide to run in this byelection?

I believe the people of Dunkley should have a real choice of candidates and the option to vote for their values. As a Greens representative, I want to put real action on the climate crisis and tackling the cost of living on the agenda. By ending the billions of dollars in handouts to coal and gas corporations and making billionaires pay their fair share in tax, we can tackle the climate crisis and make sure no-one is left behind. Across Australia but especially here in Dunkley, people are feeling the pinch in this housing crisis. The Greens have a solution to fix the housing crisis by freezing rents and mortgages and building 1 million new homes.

What local infrastructure projects should be prioritised?

We need to prioritise public housing first and foremost so that everyone has a place to call home. Getting people into a

home is the top priority to ensure people can get by. We also need to ensure the environment is taken care of, which will mean upgrading Kananook Creek and Saltwater Creeks oxygenating and filtration systems to prevent algae blooms. We also need local civil society propped up with more facilities for grassroots organisations to accommodate themselves in.

What specific measures would you take to ease cost of living pressure?

The government should make dental and mental health free under Medicare so people aren’t out of pocket for necessities. I will seek to wipe student debt, since the education of our country makes us richer without having to put the squeeze on people leaving education clawing away at a debt. We need to build a million new affordable homes so the people can actually afford a place to call their home. *Australian Democrats candidate Heath McKenzie did not respond.

JOHN PAUL College

J

ohn Paul College is a Catholic coeducational secondary College in Frankston that has been providing opportunities for students to learn and grow since 1979. We have a beautiful physical setting and impressive facilities which are complemented by the richness and depth of our heritage in creating a vibrant school culture of learning and care.

I’ve had the honour of being the Principal of John Paul College, since 2017. My role is to ensure that we continue to respond to the rapidly evolving educational landscape and expectations of society, as we educate and inspire future generations of young men and women who can critically reflect on the world and respond with passion and compassion to the challenges and opportunities of a new age.

The College was founded in 1979 in the merger of two single gender Catholic schools on this site, Stella Maris fcJ College for girls (established in 1968) and Marianist College for boys (1973). Our rich heritage in the tradition of the fcJ Sisters and the Marianist order provided the foundations for establishing a community inspired by faith in the good news of Jesus.

We continue the journey of faith and are nurtured and guided by the charisms of these two orders, as we work together for the benefit of our young people. Ensuring strong academic and social outcomes for

each one of our students is our purpose.

John Paul College is a Catholic school providing high quality teaching and facilities for learning, sports, music and the arts. It is a place where students feel safe and know that they belong, a place where students’ individual strengths are nurtured and developed and where faith and a sense of community are fundamental to our identity. This is how we live out our mission: With Him is the fullness of life.

It is the students, staff and parents in our College community that make our school

such a wonderful place to be. I hope that you will be encouraged to visit our website or contact us to book a tour and come and see all that makes our school unique.

FRANKSTON EAST PS

A

F

Catholic school of excellence in Carrum Downs. St. Joachim’s Catholic Primary School opened in 1987 in the south eastern suburb of Carrum Downs, and is a vital part of St. Anne’s Parish in Seaford. It is a school that continues to flourish and its school population is approximately 320 students.

school embodies our school motto of “Love and Unity”.

Now accepting enrolments for 2025.

In love and unity, the St Joachim’s community embraces diversity. Together we inspire lifelong learning, enlightened by Catholic faith, to make a difference in our ever changing world.

Through a high priority on the excellent teaching of Literacy, Numeracy, and Religious Education, complemented by specialist classes in visual arts, performing arts, physical education and Italian, and with a strong focus on student wellbeing, St Joachim’s School strives to develop every student to their full potential.

We invite you to visit our school, meet our warm and engaging staff, and experience the vibrant learning environment firsthand.

We look forward to meeting you!

Our school is set in spacious grounds surrounded by mature trees, with several playing areas, two basketball courts, cricket nets, quiet areas, and an oval. The community are proud of their grounds and have worked collaboratively to continually make improvements to our environment.

We are an extremely well-resourced school with a variety of large outdoor play areas as well as a large indoor hall/gymnasium, library, vegetable gardens and a beautiful chapel. We have recently opened our refurbished Art and Italian rooms, as well as a new administration building and student toilets.

IT is used throughout our great school to enhance and extend student learning.

Come and see why our students and families love our school and why our

rankston East Primary School was established in 1952 and is in Ashleigh Avenue, Frankston in a residential area with a small shopping centre close by. Our school promotes an atmosphere where excellence is valued and where our students are building their capacity to be curious, creative, communicative, collaborative, compassionate, have composure, and be good citizens. This is through a focus on the core values of integrity, respect, and kindness. We provide a secure and happy environment, where the focus is the child and where students share the responsibility of their own learning.

A broad curriculum is offered with welldeveloped programs in the eight Key Learning Areas. The school is proud of its music program which is valued by students, parents, and staff alike. The Frankston East Annual Student Theatre (FEAST) is a wonderful example of the value placed on teamwork, with the production taking place at the George Jenkins Theatre each year. We also offer specialist classes in Art, LOTE, Music, Physical Education and Science.

ST JOHN’S CATHOLIC Primary School

S

t John’s Catholic Primary School has been nurturing young lives in the Frankston area since 1967.

The Frankston region has grown and changed over time and through the motto ‘Love is life’ so has St John’s. Today we have a thriving and contemporary approach to education designed to meet the needs of all the students in our care.

Situated in idyllic settings in the heart of Frankston East, the school offers a wide variety of opportunities to engage with learning and with life for all the community it cares for.

From a rich sport and physical education program, to the music and art programs, Sacrament preparation and wellbeing initiatives, St John’s is committed to providing opportunities for all students to achieve their full potential.

We strive to open up pathways of learning for all our students and work very closely with our Catholic counterparts and with John Paul College. This ensures learning achievements are carried over into secondary school life and enables students to be

recognised for their learning capabilities and appropriately challenged.

St John’s is committed to not only providing contemporary flexible learning spaces for students to learn in but also to ensure staff are well trained in utilising the spaces to their best advantage. These spaces are recognised as physical, social and virtual spaces that enable and promote learning and the learning capacity of all those involved in them.

Our staff use appropriate strategies and learning approaches to maximise student potential. Coupled with thinking strategies based on Growth Mindsets and Resilience this creates a powerful learning combination and enables students to not only participate in their learning but to understand how they learn and apply appropriate strategies for their own learning capacity.

Learning, amidst all the distractions of our time, can be a difficult thing for many students.

We aim to provide students with the tools they will need to navigate an uncertain but highly

digitised future. We challenge them to explore and consider the deeper questions and big ideas so they can interpret and make meaning of their life, the world and of their social context. In this way, they can interact at a human level with the world, because, if we fail to teach our kids how to continue to make positive connections in their lives, we lose some of our own humanity.

At St John’s, we believe that if you want a child to grow up and understand the human person and how ‘Love is Life’ is so important, you can’t tell them how they should do it, you have to teach them to yearn to live a life of love.

We welcome you to make a booking and come and see what we do for yourself and consider what we might be able to do for your child.

The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK

TUESDAY

RAMSAY’S KITCHEN NIGHTMARES USA

THURSDAY

SEVEN, 8.30pm

GOGGLEBOX AUSTRALIA

TEN, 8.30pm

After 18 seasons across 10 years, the formula for this much-loved series hasn’t changed one iota. For those who are yet to fall for this amusing distraction, it’s essentially TV lovers idle in their living rooms watching the latest shows, unfiltered and honest, as secret cameras capture every spontaneous remark and facial expression. In this 19th instalment, original cast members including the Daltons (pictured) are dutifully back on the couch.

It’s an entertaining window into our national psyche.

SATURDAY

THE BOURNE LEGACY

SEVEN, 7.30pm

Set in the same world as Matt Damon’s outstanding trilogy, The Bourne Legacy makes do just fine without the series’ original protagonist. Taking on the lead role this time is Jeremy Renner (pictured) as super soldier Aaron Cross. After surviving an attempt on his life during a training exercise, Cross sets off to find those responsible for his genetic enhancement. A fine cast, clever plot and some incredible action sequences mean this Bourne chapter loses nothing without Damon.

SUNDAY

HOUSE OF GODS

ABC TV, 8.30pm

This sophisticated thriller about family and power takes place in western Sydney and comes from Ali’s Wedding writer and creator Osamah Sami. It’s personal for Sami, based on his teen years growing up as the son of the head cleric at a Melbourne mosque. Starring Kamel El Basha (pictured above, right), it’s an immersive view into an Iraqi Australian community and culture, which is rarely represented on screen.

We follow a charismatic sheik who is elected as head of The Messenger mosque amid a flurry of controversy.

Gripping and original.

You’d be forgiven for doing a doubletake upon seeing straight-talking British chef Gordon Ramsay (pictured) – who sprinkles swear words as liberally as salt and pepper – on-screen again. After more than 10 years, motivated to help mend the havoc that the pandemic wreaked on the hospitality industry, the foodie is back guiding failing restaurants turn their fortunes around with a no-nonsense talking to – as well as a menu and dining area reno. Tonight, Ramsay is in Brooklyn at Juicy Box, where he comes to the rescue of manager Q by not only getting the longbroken juicer fixed, but by taking the partygoer to the gym. It’s fiery Gordon doing good.

MEET THE PRINCIPAL CARRUM DOWNS Secondary College

A

t Carrum Downs Secondary College, we strive to create a safe and inclusive learning environment that supports every student to thrive in their learning. Our teaching model is based around building positive relationships with students and ensuring that every student is engaged in learning.

All lessons start with a learning goal, and students are guided through learning to ensure they meet their learning goal every lesson. Student work is catered for individual learning needs so that every student can engage and access learning at an appropriate level.

We teach students about our College Values of Respect, Integrity and Effort through our School Wide Positive Behaviour Support Framework.

Students are recognised for demonstrating our College Values every day through our Acknowledgement System and we always celebrate student achievements. Our school also has a strong stance against bullying and all students and parents in our community know that the college will address any

and all issues that may arise.

Our college is based around four Houses, and all parents have a single point of contact to the school to direct any enquiries or concerns regarding learning and support through the House. Students remain attached to the same House throughout their schooling, and are very passionate about the House based competition; The House Cup. The House Cup Competition encompasses a wide range of extra curricular and co-curricular activities that encourages participation in learning, sport, arts and in a range of fun activities that are simply designed to bring students together in the friendly spirit of competition. Students are acknowledged and awarded for their varied contribution in our House Cup final early in term 4.

Our college offers a diverse range of programs to ensure that every student can find something they are passionate about to study. We have an extensive music program, there are many opportunities to pursue passions in sport and arts, and our language program,

Japanese, has offered students the opportunity to embrace another culture through our Homestay program.

2024 marks the opening of our STEAM centre. This building will be the home for an exciting program that we have developed whereby students can come together to design and build creative solution to problems using various technologies, applying the skills of design thinking, problem solving and collaboration. We are always looking for opportunities to expand and develop our programs and all students in year 7 and 8 will get to develop their skills in STEAM. Finally, we have a large and diverse student leadership team, with specific leadership roles developed to promote leadership in learning, community, inclusion as well as the arts and sports. Anyone can be a leader and we are always looking to work with students who want to make a positive contribution to our community.

2024 promises to be a very exciting year for our college, and I am proud to continue working as part of the community.

‘Potter’ prepares for new ‘stage’ Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au IT appears to be business as usual for the teams behind the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience event in April, with organisers pivoting quickly to focus on the new site at The Briars community forest dog park.

Signs on the gate block people from using the dog park so that infrastructure upgrades and decorative installations can be completed by the event’s start on 6 April.

The advertising spin of the event remains unchanged, tempting audiences with the line that it will be a “nighttime woodland trail experience filled with magical creatures and wizarding wonders from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films”.

Apart from the deal not yet being sealed by an official letter from Warner Bros confirming the site change, those opposed to the wildlife sanctuary being originally chosen as the event site are celebrating the organisers’ change of heart.

The site change was prompted by a global backlash that threatened to harm the Harry Potter brand and was enough for global entertainment giants Warners Bros and Fever Entertainment to rethink their choice - with approval from Mornington Peninsula Shire - of using a wildlife sanctuary.

Community group Save Briars Sanctuary (SBS) was behind a national and international protest campaign calling on organisers to relocate the event away from the sanctuary.

Its petition attracted more than 22,000 signatures and the campaign gained support

from the political parties, environmental groups and wildlife carers, in Australia and abroad, and the group wrote directly to Warner Bros.

In a welcome move, on 8 February the group received an email from the senior vice-president of Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment, Peter van Roden, saying the companies were “reevaluating the current location of Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience in The Briars at Mount Martha”.

The council then scheduled an extraordinary meeting to inform the community of the “joint” decision to relocate the event to the community forest dog park within The Briars.

Responding to a question during the meeting by Cr Sarah Race about the “very big dog community” on the peninsula, CEO John Baker said dog walkers would be accommodated at the public golf course in Mount Martha during the Harry Potter event, and “other dog walking” options were being investigated.

A release from Save Briars Sanctuary stated: “The decision to relocate Harry Potter is a significant achievement and we are relieved that the wildlife will now be safe. However, the seeming lack of scrutiny when approving the largest event in the history of the Mornington Peninsula is alarming. Especially when the location is a special and precious ecosystem. Our wildlife should never be put at risk for profit.”

A spokesperson for the group said it was looking forward to the shire’s promised review of its processes and hoped that the shire “engages with the community during and after the examination”.

Peninsula Health joins advocacy group PENINSULA Health has partnered with the Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula advocacy group.

Peninsula Health oversees Frankston Hospital, Rosebud Hospital, the Mornington Centre, Golf Links Road Rehabilitation Centre, and the Frankston Public Surgical Centre.

Frankston Hospital is in the middle of a $1.1 billion redevelopment, funded by the state government.

Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula CEO Josh Sinclair said the group would help advocate for funding for the organisation’s other facilities. “We’ll keep advocating for significant government investment into Rosebud Hospital as well as key worker accommodation for healthcare workers in Frankston,” he said.

“We look forward to working with Peninsula Health and with both levels of government to keep improving

deck carpark will deliver widespread benefits to the community, helping ease congestion on local roads.”

The federal and state governments each contributed $43.5 million towards the project. Victorian public transport minister Gabrielle Williams said the car park “is all part of making it easier for locals to catch the train on the Frankston line which will be level crossing free by 2029.”

20 February 2024

Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said “this is a massive investment in car parking at Frankston Station that will provide better, safer access to train and bus services for local commuters.”

The car park will have around 500 spaces, and is expected to be open late this year. The project also includes new CCTV and lighting, and bike parking.

health outcomes for our region. “The Victorian Government’s $1.1 billion redevelopment of Frankston Hospital will ensure locals have access to world-class health care on the peninsula.”

The Frankston Hospital redevelopment is set to add a new 12-storey tower with an operating theatre suite, mental health services, inpatient units, expanded women's and children's services, and much more. Main works are scheduled for completion sometime next year (“Foundations laid for hospital project” The Times 1/8/23).

The Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula has membership tiers for businesses which range from $550 up to $10,000.

Show producer Monique Cribb said “this is a story about family, loyalty and victory, layered with glorious harmonies and sassy repartee. I wanted to connect people to Aretha through an authentic mind, body and soul experience. The show takes you on an intimate musical odyssey through Aretha’s interesting life.”

Aretha Franklin will be played by Angie Narayan. Cribb said “her voice is highly evocative of the socially conscious singer, whose chart-topping hits inspired generations.

Aretha was Angie’s greatest musical influence who coincidentally, embodies so much of Aretha’s essence and heart.

That is why I knew she was the perfect artist to play such a significant role.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Bank manager accidently shot while examining revolver Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR. Cyril Cameron, 38, manager of the Bank of Australasia at Port Melbourne, visited Frankston last Tuesday, and on Thursday morning it was reported that he had been found in the camp of a contractor named Hodgins, on Humphries Road, about three miles from the town.

He was in a pitiable condition, and on examination it was found that he had been shot in the chest.

The police had him removed to Frankston, where he was attended by Dr. Maxwell.

He explained that he was examining an automatic revolver, when it went off and wounded him in the chest.

Mr. Cameron was out throughout Tuesday night’s storm. He is now in Sister Creswick’s private hospital. *** Some discussion having taken place at the last meeting of the Progress Association on the question of the Frankston Park Improvement Scheme and the £2000 loan raised by the Shire Council for that purpose. And believing the general public – who are apparently in the dark – would like to know the exact position, we have made some inquiries, and find the following to be the case.

When the Council decided to float a loan of £2000 for the purpose before indicated, they empowered the Shire Engineer, Lieut.-Colonel Lazarus, who is a past master in the art of raising of finances, to at once make the necessary arrangements to secure the loan.

Further, he was instructed to prepare plans for the proposed alterations, and general improvements that were

considered necessary.

So imbued was the Engineer with the feeling of the necessity of the work being done, that he not only made the necessary arrangements for the loan; but also, at his own home during the evenings, prepared the required plans.

When this was completed, and the money was made available, he reported to the Council that all was in readiness.

The whole scheme was blocked, however, by one of the Councillors moving that £500 of the loan should be used for improvements to the Cranbourne Road Reserve.

It was at once pointed out that the money, having been raised for a specific purpose, must be used for same. However, through the general discussion that followed, and the fact that the matter was not forced to a division, the loan, not being availed of within the time agreed, it consequently lapsed.

And while it is quite within the province, and we hope will be decided by the Council to again ask their Engineer to proceed to get the necessary money for the Park Improvement Scheme, we are afraid he will not be able to get it at the same low rate as heretofore. *** THE Misses Craig, with their brother, Mr. Craig, of Wedderburn, who have been enjoying· the salubrious climate here for the past month, are about to take their departure for their home town.

Before leaving, however, they all expressed the pleasure they had experienced whilst on their visit.

The Misses Muntz, of Nathalia, who have had an extended holiday in Frankston, are leaving this week for home.

They have had a most enjoyable time, the only thing missed by them being a croquet lawn, as at their home they have one laid down and both of these ladies are experts at the game.

They also said that when they again visited Frankston they hoped that the suggestion of Mrs. Heymanson had been carried out. This sentiment was also expressed by the Misses Craig. *** THE many friends of Mr. E. P. Davis, of Wells Street, Frankston will regret to hear that his son Roy whilst working at his trade as a cabinet maker, in Melbourne, had the misfortune to cut his left arm so severely with a chisel, necessitating eight stitches being inserted.

We understand that so far the injured arm is progressing as well as can be expected.

We trust it will soon be quite healed. *** WE regret to hear that Mrs. McComb, wife of Mr. T. McComb, had another bad turn. We sincerely hope that the set back will be only a temporary nature, and the old lady, will soon be about again. *** MR. Lalor, station master, Frankston, is at present on furlough. The relieving officer is Mr. Mulchay. *** MRS. Kitchen, wife of Canon Kitchen, of “St. Paul’s,” Hay, New South Wales, and formerly vicar of Frankston, is at present with her children spending a holiday with

Feldman, Wells Street, Frankston. *** FRANKSTON is indeed honored and favoured in the appointment for the staff of the High School of Miss Broughton, B.A., Dip. Ed., who amongst her many other honors holds the much coveted Distinguished Service Medal of the Royal Life Saving Society.

This medal, which was sent to her from London, is the only one held by a woman in the Southern Hemisphere.

As a matter of fact, there are only four other women in the British Empire holding it.

The public can, therefore, judge the qualifications needed to be its possessor.

In addition, Miss Broughton holds the Bronze Medallion, and the Award of Merit of the Society. Last year Miss Broughton’s club, i.e., The Bendigo High School Club, were the winners of the “Lewis Excellence Cup,” for the best ladies’ club, securing 294 points, while the next club, which was a seaside club, gained only 130 points.

In addition to this between 80 and 100 of the pupils who have passed through her hands have secured the Bronze Medallion, and another 150 have been awarded the proficiency certificate.

With all these honors crowded up on her, Miss Broughton is most unassuming, her whole soul being centred upon the good work she is doing — and, like most people who have rendered good service to humanity, she shrinks from publicity.

However, as this information has come to our knowledge, we feel it is only just that the people of the district

— whose children are partly in her care — and others, should also know the calibre of the lady to whom we refer.

Further, we understand that numbers of the pupils who have passed through Miss Broughton’s hands are engaged today in profiting by her tuition, and teaching others the art of swimming and life-saving. *** THE Somerville and Mornington tennis match had to he abandoned, owing to thee weather affecting the courts, on Saturday last. *** IN our issue of February 20 we notified the public that the gift of a soprano cornet had been made to the Frankston Band by Lieut.-Colonel Lazarus.

Since then, however, we learn that there is quite a history attached to this instrument, which is, in our opinion, well worth repeating.

It appears that in the early stages of the war this cornet belonged to the band of a battalion under the command of the gallant colonel, and from then on served its useful purpose on the other side of the world, finally passing into the hands of the aforesaid gentleman, who has now donated it to the band.

Whether the experiences it has undergone will enable the operator to produce sweeter music remains to be seen; but we feel that we could not let it come into our midst without the little comment we have made. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 22 Feb 1924

We have some very special public and education programs to accompany this suite of exhibitions. Our affordable school holiday workshops are sure to foster a keen interest in art and develop children’s creative skills. Our autumn program includes textile-based activities and a weaving workshop.

We look forward to welcoming you to the gallery over autumn.

Trust: easily lost, hard to regain The relocation of the Harry Potter Experience to a less sensitive at The Briars will come as a great relief to those who pressured Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to reconsider its decision.

A new ecological report for this community forest (dog walking park) will be published on the shire website soon. This new location is 500 metres from the nearest point of the wildlife sanctuary and, we are told, will have minimal effect on the fauna and flora.

CEO John Baker acknowledged that the community backlash definitely influenced this decision to change the venue. Cr Despi O’Connor moved the recommendation then went on to make excuses as to why the councillors were the “heroes” in this debacle. I’m not sure if all the councillors get it, even now.

Looking forward to the commitment by the mayor Cr Simon Brooks that there will be a review of the process undertaken by the council to locate [the performance] at The Briars in the first place. Maybe that review will make the council realise that trust, easily lost and hard to regain, is the first casualty of lack of transparency and consultation.

The Greens Mornington Peninsula played an active role with Save Our Briars and other community groups to engage in robust discussions with all stakeholders and with all levels of government. A great relief to all.

Julie Gunn, Dromana

Campaign conduct Firstly, I would like to preface that I have never been a member of a political party. With that said, I personally wish to express personal dismay at recent attacks by the Labor Party on both Frankston City Council and Nathan Conroy. I'm sadden the Labor campaign is running such a negative campaign to win the Dunkley by-election. Instead, the Labor campaign should be focusing on the issues rather than fixating on the local council which has worked tirelessly throughout COVID to now in delivering new infrastructure and maintaining important community services.

Nathan Conroy has every right to proudly associate himself with numerous funding achievements. After all, it is fact that the local council provided more funding than the other tiers of government combined for the Jubilee Park redevelopment and effectively matched federal funding for the Langwarrin Football Netball Club project. Ironically, federal monies for both the Jubilee Park and the Langwarrin Football Netball Club – which Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke cites as examples – were provided by the former Liberal government - not the present Labor government. So, in all fairness, let's really be fair.

As for Paul's assertion that Frankston rates are high, this factoid has been previously mythbusted and comparative data (provided by the Victorian Government) clearly demonstrates that municipal rates for the Frankston region are standard. Paul knows this, and he also knows that these rates could be even lower if the State Government desisted from the practice of cost-shifting state responsibilities onto local government.

Rather than run a negative campaign, I would much prefer to see the Labor Party make commitments to projects like upgrading Monterey Reserve in Frankston North. I'd also be keen to hear if the Labor Party intends to reinstate the $225 million dollars that was in forward-estimates until late last year for the electrification of the Stony-Point train line.

There has been a legitimate attempt by Frankston City Council to preach bipartisanship and to achieve tripartite solutions. However, this approach is discretionary and predicated on genuine good-will. I hope the Frankston MP and the federal Labor campaign take stock of this moving forward.

Kris Bolam, Frankston councillor

Thanks for Gill I would like to thank Cr David Gill for standing firm in the protection of The Briars’ wildlife and not following the non-disclosure and secrecy demands raised for the Harry Potter project.

It is not the first time that Cr Gill has stood up for the Mornington Peninsula’s needs. On many occasions before has he shown, often on his own or with a small number of fellow councillors, that his attitude as a councillor is to work

and lobby for the better of the peninsula and its ratepayers, rather than like others who are driven by party politics or matters of self-esteem.

Norbert Wichmann, Mornington

Dunkley’s choice The groundswell of folk willing to protect the wildlife within The Briars sanctuary was uplifting evidence of how much people on the Mornington Peninsula care about the environment.

Given recent wild weather and power outages, amid a cost-of-living crisis, the upcoming Dunkley by-election offers an interesting choice for voters. On climate and energy, the coalition is increasingly pushing for nuclear, which modelling from the CSIRO says is five times more expensive to build than firmed renewables and, according to many experts including former Chief Scientist Alan Finkel, wouldn’t be online until the 2040s.

Labor, meanwhile, is pushing ahead with its plan for 82 per cent renewables by 2030.

If we care about addressing climate change and protecting our environment in a way that doesn’t further add to cost-of-living pressures, it’s worth thinking through these and other policy options prior to ballot day.

Amy Hiller, Kew

Signs of having personal problems On our typical Sunday walk we see street signs ripped out of the ground.

I do feel sorry for the poor souls that have nothing better to do on a Saturday night, however I do seem to recall reading of an international

study that showed there was a direct correlation between disrespect for public property and a low IQ, together with sexual inadequacy.

I guess they just don’t get it.

John Power, Mornington

would have charged me 15 per cent surcharge because it was Sunday.

Judi Loughridge, Rosebud

in 2024.

In 2019 there was Labor’s retiree tax targeting almost million retirees, investors and pensioners.

Those Australians had spent their lives working, saving and contributing to superannuation, for most, a compulsory savings scheme, designed to enable them to live out their retirement years free of the need of a government pension.

Send Labor the message that forcing up fuel, electricity and gas prices, increasing taxes, ongoing teacher shortages, inadequate rail services, high crime rates, the rising cost of living and inflation won’t be tolerated.

On or before 2 March, vote one for Nathan Conroy of the Liberal Party.

Thomas Quinn (Liberal, Victoria), Moe

Voicing strategies

Promises easy to make

It was heartening to read that the community group Peninsula Voice is providing a forum for residents to discuss and combat climate change (Facing up to climate change, The News 6/2/24). The Climate Change Empowerment Handbook of the Australian Psychological Society lists eight strategies making the acronym ACTIVATE. The third strategy is “Talk about climate change and break the collective silence”, while the fourth strategy is “Inspire positive visions”.

It’s clear from Peter Orton’s report that the forum to be held on Thursday 29 February at the Peninsula Community Theatre includes both these key strategies. The group’s events page at peninsulavoice.org.au/our-events is well worth a visit.

Ray Peck, Hawthorn

The Liberals claim that they will provide money for the electrification of the Frankston-Baxter line. Voters should be wary of this promise. The Liberals are in no position to actually deliver this money as they are in opposition and will be so for the remainder of this term and probably the next.

Promises are always easy from opposition.

Secondly the coalition’s ability to deliver is also dubious, who can forget the “station car parks” debacle in their last term of government.

Ross Hudson, Mount Martha

Change is needed The current global warming is different from previous ones. (Climate ‘normal’, Letters 13/2/24) Our planet’s average temperature has, as your correspondent wrote, risen 1.48°C in just over 170 years, since 1850. But since 1970 the rate averages 1.7°C a century - and it is speeding up.

In the past, changes were typically much, much slower; in the previous 7000 years to now, for example, the temperature was declining at a rate of 0.01C a century.

The current rapid changes are too fast for species, including us and our systems, to seamlessly adapt. Current rates of species extinction are reckoned to be at least 1000 times the so-called background rate.

Of course, if we don’t want to, we don’t have to believe any of these documented findings.

Hopefully, science and logic will have us question how we can ask the planet to keep absorbing ever increasing volumes of greenhouse gas pollution from our sometimes wasteful, frequently fossil-fuel dependent lifestyles, and not expect consequences.

To keep the climate the way we like it, we need to change.

Lesley Walker, Northcote

Unwanted added extra What a Sunday I had. I went to church, and they passed around the plate. They said 15 per cent surcharge extra. We have staff to pay on a Sunday.

Then I went to the supermarket to get milk and bread. The girl at the checkout said 15 per cent surcharge extra. We want to get paid. It is Sunday.

I decided to go to the movies. The box office person said they wanted 15 per cent surcharge on my ticket because it was Sunday and there were wages to pay.

As I was leaving the cinema I fell and broke my leg. I called the ambulance. They said 15 per cent surcharge extra. It is Sunday.

At the hospital they said it is Sunday, so we need 15 per cent surcharge extra because of Sunday wages.

Lucky I didn’t go to a restaurant because they

Age old questions OMG. 2024 already, so quick. It sneaks up on you. And with it a frightening thought: This coming March I reach 88 years.

Those last 20 years slipped by almost unnoticed. One minute I was an actor, the next nothing?

The Chinese say it’s double good fortune, but I’m not Chinese. Whichever way I look at it, as in my future, I’m an octogenarian, so at best small mercies. Little or no subtext to fall back on. The cupboard is empty.

Of the world, even the Yanks are in trouble, a Donald Trump presidency on the cards, we live in hope of Anthony Albanese updating his courage and dispensing with the dangerous Peter Dutton in 2025, do something about Julian Assange and watch, hoping the Russians, the Chinese, and those in the Middle East forget us and sort out their fights among themselves.

Meantime, another AFL football season awaits, those small mercies, assuming I last another season.

The old joke of walking into a room, stopping, and asking yourself “Why did I come in here?” uppermost. Google doesn’t answer that one.

Cliff Ellen, Rye

Record of debt The voters of Dunkley simply can’t afford the “debt and deficit” culture of Jodie Belyea and [Prime Minister] Anthony Albanese’s Labor Party.

Australia’s net debt in 2024 is forecast at $491 billion, or 18.4 per cent of GDP. That’s a massive debt that our grandkids will be left to pay off. In effect money that would have been better spent on new hospitals, more schools, better roads, modern trains and improved services and care for our ageing senior citizens.

Since Albanese’s Labor came to power we’ve had 11 consecutive cash rate hikes (from 0.1 per cent to 4.35 per cent) and the quarterly inflation figure of around 5.3 per cent. in December 2023.

In March 2023, the inflation figure climbed to seven per cent. That figure was the highest it has been since Labor’s Paul Keating, 30 years ago.

The cost of living has seen household expenses rise 11.2 per cent ( December 2022) with electricity prices forecast to rise 50 per cent by 2024 and mortgage rates for the average owner occupier paying a variable rate of 6.54 per cent

Heart of the matter Heart Research Australia is dedicated to reshaping how Australians approach cardiovascular wellbeing without causing financial strain.

Beyond our collective effort to raise funds for life-saving research, our goal this year is to shed light on the financial and health implications associated with heart disease, affecting individuals regardless of their financial circumstances.

Heart disease touches the lives of two in three Australians and stands as the leading cause of death. Prioritising heart health is an investment in both personal wellbeing and financial stability. In the midst of escalating living expenses, allocating resources for health might seem like a luxury. However, overlooking heart health can result in severe financial consequences, impacting wages, work capacity, career advancement, and long-term financial stability.

Knowledge plays a pivotal role in fostering a healthier heart, with eight out of 10 cases of premature heart disease and stroke preventable through healthy lifestyle choices. From hearthealthy, budget friendly diets to accessible exercise options and stress management techniques, there are numerous practical and cost-effective strategies.

We invite all Australians to explore our free online Heart Hub, offering a wealth of expert advice on cultivating heart-healthy habits.

Research is a lifeline, emphasising Heart Research Australia’s steadfast support for world class researchers. This is why we encourage all Australians to wear red this February and, if possible, extend a helping hand by contributing to fund vital research against heart disease.

For more information on RedFeb, heart health tips, and to contribute to this critical cause, visit heartresearch.com.au.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Maroon fifth Circle of Hell

By Stuart McCullough EVERYONE has a limit. A point beyond which, if pushed, they are destined to break. For some, they stumble across their breaking point when they least expect it. Not me. I know all too well the thing that sends my spirit into freefall, generally eviscerating my will to live. For some it’s the sight of a sodden kitten caught in a rainstorm.

Others can’t stand the thought of an impending nuclear holocaust. But, for me at least, it’s the music of Maroon 5.

Normally, I’d write something here about ‘not wanting to offend any fans of Maroon 5’. But if I’m being honest, I do. There’s something about their highly-preened soft-rock stylings that gets me completely offside. It’s not that they rub me the wrong way; it’s that the thought of the physical contact necessary to rub me in any direction at all that gives me the heebie-jeebies. It’s music that’s custom-made for carparks and shopping malls. Like Nickelback but with a better haircut and a higher voice.

I had rung my internet service provider for the simple reason that I had no internet. The way I see it, they’ve only got one job and they were failing terribly. They weren’t much better at running a call centre. When you ring a call centre, they do everything they can to talk you out of it.

The experience begins with a recording, featuring a voice solemnly intoning that wait times are ‘longer than usual’ as a result of a ‘high volume of calls’. If that’s not enough, they then offer you the option of a ‘call back’, so that instead of wasting time on hold, you get to suffer the indignity of them ringing you at the least convenient moment possible.

I wasn’t going to give up that easily. I hung on.

Then things turned nasty. Without warning, I was put on hold. Generally, hold music falls into two distinct categories – there’s the ‘corporate loop’ message, where a musical tidbit is played incessantly whilst someone who sounds so up-

PAGE 20

Frankston Times

20 February 2024

beat that they must not be on hold tells you all kinds of useless information about the company.

These information morsels generally begin with ‘did you know?’ and then tell you that instead of being stuck on hold and visibly ageing as you wait, you could submit your query online instead.

Which, of course, would be true if the reason for calling was for something other than the fact of not having any internet.

But corporate shoutouts are one thing. What happened to me next was an entirely different level of inanity. As the voiceover segued into music, I was suddenly and unexpectedly confronted by the sounds of ‘She Will be Loved’ by Maroon 5. On a loop. Which, if you’re on hold for the best (or worst) part of forty minutes, is quite the experience.

In Dante’s Inferno, some people mistakenly think the fifth circle of hell is wrath, made up of a

swamp. Those people are wrong. The fifth circle of hell consists exclusively of the music of Maroon 5 in all its steaming, sulphuric glory.

Ordinarily, if exposed to the music of Maroon 5, I’d take evasive action. If that means jumping from a moving vehicle because ‘Moves Like Jagger’ comes on the radio, so be it. Hot asphalt at twenty miles an hour is still preferable to having to sit through ‘Moves Like Jagger’. But this time there was nowhere to jump to that wouldn’t cost me my place in the queue.

After what seemed like and may well have been an eternity, I was put through to someone who gave me ten different versions of ‘have you tried turning it off and on again?’ After an exhaustive exchange that included everything from trying to reset the modem using a paper clip, to jumping up and down on one leg and chanting, I was no closer to having internet.

I’ll admit I was cranky. When the very cheery person on the other end of the line asked whether I had any feedback, I took my chance. First of all, I checked to make sure that our call was being recorded for quality and training purposes. When he confirmed it was, I unloaded. I told him in no uncertain terms that leaving people on hold and making them listen to the same soft rock song repeatedly was not so much ‘customer service’ as it was a calculated attempt to punish anyone foolish enough to ring for help. There was an awkward silence, before a gentle ‘click’. Our time together was over.

It’s an awkward age we live in. One where corporate behemoths are so desperate for your approval that every interaction – no matter how minor – warrants a customer satisfaction survey.

Mine arrived about thirty seconds later. If you’re the fire department, you’re unlikely to issue a satisfaction survey whilst someone’s house is still on fire. Similarly, internet companies should avoid sending surveys that beg you to tell them how awesome they are whilst you still have no internet to speak of. Not even Maroon 5 would do something that silly.

It took some time, but I now have internet again. That means I’m finally in a position to submit an online query to my internet provider to ask why my internet isn’t working, even though it is. I could always say that I was asking for a friend.

And whilst I sailed through my internet-less life easily enough, due in large part to the fact that I’ve refused to get rid of my DVDs, the soft rock stylings of Maroon 5 now haunt me in my dreams. In fact, things are now so bad that I commonly avoid closing my eyes altogether, just to be sure that the gentle strains of ‘She Will Be Love’ doesn’t devour me as I sleep. Consider it lesson learned – never ring a help line. Instead, from this point on I’ll make all my complaints by telegram. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Long Island wins a thriller, Pirates hold on wrapped up a win over Carrum Downs without too much trouble.

By Brodie Cowburn

PROVINCIAL

LONG Island held on for a thrilling win over Sorrento last Saturday.

Long Island scored 272 runs on day one, giving the Sharks a tough task to tackle on day two. After a few early struggles, middle order batter Matthew Rulach took control of the game.

Rulach smashed 103 runs from 151 balls for the Sharks to keep them in the contest. Jake Wood’s late half-century also kept them in the hunt.

The game ended up going down to the final over. With one run required to draw level with four balls left to face, Sorrento lost their final wicket.

Matt Shimell was the match-winner for Long Island. He took five wickets.

Red Hill wrapped up a hard-fought four wicket win over Pines on Saturday.

At Bruce Park, a century by opener Nathan Cassano couldn’t prevent Heatherhill from falling to defeat against Old Peninsula. Heatherhill were valiant in defeat, scoring 313 runs. They were chasing a target of 329.

Langwarrin comfortably beat Baden Powell by 105 runs last weekend on their home deck.

PENINSULA

MT ELIZA picked up an outright win over Seaford Tigers last weekend.

’Buds make play for Greening SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ONE of the greatest goalscorers in Victorian football history could be on the verge of a sensational comeback if a plan hatched months ago by Rosebud comes to fruition.

When Stuart Johnston and assistant Stan Packer took over as senior coaches they identified a need to add to the team’s firepower.

Johnson knew Nathan Yole from their days at Mornington while Packer was a long-term friend of Dave Greening and given that both forwards had joined forces at Baxter a couple of years ago it seemed logical to try and revive their partnership.

The first part of the plan dropped neatly into place last week when Yole signed and the second part could fit smoothly alongside it on Thursday when Greening trains with the senior squad.

Greening’s impact on senior competition at varying State League levels can’t be overstated given his remarkable haul of nine league Golden Boot awards.

The last time he kicked a ball in anger was against Endeavour United at Reema Reserve on Saturday 4 June 2022 and it looked as though the story of his playing days would have a horror ending.

Greening had to be helped off in the first half and later taken to hospital after a reckless and dangerous challenge left him with a fractured cheekbone.

“I’d hate to finish my playing career on that memory from Endeavour,” Greening said.

“Look I was probably 50:50 about playing again but it’s more like 80:20 now and I’d like the chance to finish up on my terms rather than have someone knock my cheekbone out of place.”

Greening is now 42 and has a threeyear-old son Alfie with partner Emma.

He has been a physical education and classroom teacher at Boneo Primary School for over a decade.

He took up athletics again last year having competed at county level when growing up in England and his return at masters’ level reaped spectacular results winning gold medals at state championships.

Greening recently won three gold medals at the New Zealand Masters Games in Dunedin.

But it’s his pending return to playing ranks that looks certain to cause a stir at Olympic Park and beyond.

No doubt Rosebud fans are hoping that opposition defenders are soon to

be taught a lesson they will never forget.

In VPL1 Langwarrin and Eastern Lions shared the spoils after Friday night’s 0-0 stalemate at Lawton Park.

Both goalkeepers were among their team’s best with Keegan Coulter to the fore in the first half and Langwarrin counterpart James Burgess making some excellent reaction saves in the second half.

Lions were a far different proposition to the previous week’s visitors Bentleigh Greens and represented a genuine attacking threat through South African-born left winger Deandre Vollenhoven, Barbados international Omani Leacock and right winger Nathan Stamatelos.

In the 13th minute Coulter was forced to parry a shot on the turn from Langy striker Archie Macphee.

Langy livewire Tom Youngs was prominent and three minutes from half-time his corner was met by Brad Blumenthal whose glancing header was saved on the line by Coulter and eventually cleared.

In the final minute of the half Vollenhoven cut the ball back from the left of the box to Leacock who blew the best chance so far by blasting well over the bar.

Two minutes into the second period a Stamatelos free-kick struck the wall and Vollenhoven’s volley lobbed over Burgess but Luke Adams headed off the line.

Lions created the better chances in this half but Burgess parried a closerange strike from Lions sub Nick Koutsoubos.

In the 69th minute Vollenhoven broke through the middle then neatly played in substitute Davut Tahir on the left but he dwelt on the ball and his eventual shot was blocked.

This Saturday Langwarrin will play its third consecutive home match when it hosts North Geelong at Lawton Park at 7pm after the under-23s’ curtain raiser.

In State 3 news Frankston Pines midfielder Calvin Delaney had to be stretchered off just three minutes into Saturday’s friendly against Bundoora United at Hillsview Reserve.

The club reports that Delaney injured an ankle and “will be in a race against time to make the season opener.”

Pines have signed 27-year-old central defender Ben Philips who is a former Mazenod player returning after a break from the sport.

Pines will kick-off their 2024 league campaign by hosting Middle Park under lights on Friday 22 March and hope to play all their home games under lights on Fridays.

In State 4 news Baxter has signed its first Japanese player while another is trialling.

Last week 20-year-old Kennusuke Kameshima, a right-sided full back or winger from Okinawa-based amateur

club Chatan, agreed terms. “‘Kenni’ is technically excellent, has a great first touch with a good range of passing and like most Japanese players I have encountered has an unbelievable work rate,” Baxter head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor said.

In Football Victoria news the state body announced last week that all its clubs had made the deadline to arrange payment of outstanding fees.

Previously FV had claimed that clubs owed just over $2 million and threatened to suspend non-financial clubs from competition.

However FV is yet to publicly announce that the oldest club in Victoria has withdrawn from competition.

South Yarra was formed in 1928 and 96 years later the club has withdrawn from State League competition a week after forfeiting its Dockerty Cup tie with Mount Eliza.

South Yarra is based at Fawkner Park and was competing in State 3 South-East which will now consist of 11 teams next season.

South Yarra will continue to run a junior program and a women’s program as well as fielding teams in the Metropolitan Leagues.

In other news iconic Frankston Pines figure Tommy Mitchell is the new team manager of Casey Comets.

Mitchell has had various roles at Pines since joining the club in 1970 among them ground manager, team manager and committeeman.

He is a life member at Monterey Reserve and Pines’ scoreboard is named in his honour.

Comets gaffer and former Pines player Billy Armour was delighted by Mitchell’s appointment.

“He’s one of the best signings I’ve made this season,” Armour said.

“His experience will be invaluable.”

Meanwhile a unique event takes place at 11am on Saturday when Steve Keenan’s Wild Rovers take on touring Czech Republic side TJ Ostrovan at North Seaford Reserve.

Seaford’s senior coach Paul Williams and assistant Steve Keenan play for Wild Rovers which were formed in 2009 and consist of former players with an average age of 50.

The team regularly competes in fivea-side competitions and has been successful in Victoria and interstate.
