Funding locked and loaded for Seaford sports Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au SEAFORD sports clubs are set to undergo a revitalisation as the last piece of their funding puzzle for a redeveloped home ground was secured last week. Work is set to get underway at RF Miles Reserve, home of Seaford Football, Cricket, and Netball Clubs, to revamp their facilities after $2.6 million in budgeted federal funding was announced on 18 November.

The ground is currently out of use, having been taken over to complete level crossing removal works on the nearby train line. The club has been playing their home games at Belvedere Reserve in the meantime, which has caused a hit in attendances. Seaford Football Club spokesperson Phil Robertson said he hopes the works get underway as soon as possible so the club can return to their home by the start of the 2020 season. “Our footy club fielded 200 athletes on the field last year across football, netball, and womens foot-

ball. We can’t accommodate them in this facility, it’s old, it’s outdated, it just doesn’t cut the mustard anymore. To have a facility that everyone can come together in, to support sport and be a focus for the community, to come here and enjoy supporting our athletes is really special to us,” he said. “We’re hoping that council can really dig its heels in to get the project happening early in 2019. We’ve been over at Belvedere and we have another year there. It’s tough yards for us being relocated, so were we can get back here to our home and really

enjoy footy back here. It’s the best venue for watching football on the peninsula, and now it’s going to have the best facilities.” Netball club president Chelsea Robertson also said the work would be beneficial to the netballers that will soon play at the ground. “For the netball club it will be extremely impactful and important for us to be able to have facilities that are co located with our football club. To be able to train, play, and create a community hub for everyone to use and access will be fantastic,” she said.

In addition to the $2.6 million budgeted by the federal Liberal government, both Labor and Liberal parties at state level have promised $2.6 million of their own. Frankston Council have chipped in $3.34 million and the Level Crossing Removal Authority have contributed nearly $4 million, meaning the full cost of the redevelopment has now been put together. The price for the total redevelopment was quoted by council as being $12.4 million. Continued Page 11

Stolen foal found dead Brodie Cowburn

Female candidates missing on peninsula Brodie Cowburn

brodie@baysidenews.com.au

A SIX-week-old foal allegedly stolen from a Carrum Downs stable has been found dead after a two day search. The thoroughbred foal, named Holly, was born with contracted tendons, and was required to wear splints to help her stand upright. The horse was reported missing from its McCormicks Road property on 12 November. On the morning of 14 November, the horse was found dead at its drinking trough. The foal was the offspring of mare Zagenza, who has amassed nearly $23,000 in winnings during her racing days. Frankston CIU, who are investigating the incident, said that vets gave the foal a 2 percent chance of living when she was born. They said the horse’s owner, trainer Nathan McPherson, had slept in the paddock for three weeks to help nurse the foal back to good health. Mr McPherson, a 30-year-old trainer, has recently finished serving a two month ban from racing after one of his horses tested positive for cocaine.

A PACK of peninsula electorates within close proximity are two of only a very small handful of state districts in which no women nominated as candidates. Across Victoria’s 88 electorates in the lower house, just six feature no female representation among the nominees this years. Two of those are Mornington and Nepean. Nine male candidates put their hand up for election in those two districts. Frankston features just one female candidate among its eight nominees, from the Transport Matters Party, this election. Mornington and Nepean are safe Liberal seats, held by David Morris MP and Martin Dixon MP respectively. 4 women across Mornington and Nepean nominated during the previous election. Murray Plains, Mount Waverly, Clarunda, and Forest Hill are the other state electorates in which no females will be on the ballot to vote for. Neighbouring electorate Carrum will feature two women leading the ticket for each of the major parties, Labor MP Sonya Kilkenny and Liberal candidate Donna Bauer.

State election feature: Paul Edbrooke - Labor

Picture: Gary Sissons

WHAT was your job prior to entering politics? “I was a professional firefighter based at Frankston, and prior to that a teacher and I taught in many Frankston schools. As a firefighter, there is no passing the buck, you have to get the job done, and I take that same attitude into my role as Frankston’s representative.” Why did you decide to get into politics? “I have dedicated my working life to helping my community and the only better way to serve the community as a firefighter is as its state representative and delivering for Frankston. I think there is no better preparation for a state or federal representative than to work at the coalface of some of our communities most difficult challenges like the Black Saturday bushfires, car accidents and fires.” What is the number one issue facing your electorate? “Overall, previously not getting our fair share, which we have changed. Access to services or lack of services. For example housing, mental health services, specialised services for our community most vulnerable.” What will you do to fix/improve it? “Increasing the level of opportunity for people in Frankston to get the skills they need to get the jobs they want, access to facilities and services for all members of the community so they can get a fair go.” What are your top priorities for funding in Frankston? “We have committed to build the largest redevelopment of a suburban hospital in Victoria’s history with new services, more wards, more beds, two floors of dedicated mental health services meaning more resources at Frankston, less travelling to other hospitals in the city. For too long Frankston has been neglected that’s why we are committed to providing access to world class health services, free TAFE, upgrading and providing new sporting facilities, delivering additional funding for every school

in Frankston including major infrastructure projects at 10 local schools. Ensuring everyone from the youngest to the oldest community members all receive a fair go in Frankston.” What are your biggest achievements of your last term? “Certainly rebuilding the face of Frankston and the gateway to the peninsula was a historic moment in our history. The redeveloped Young St looks amazing and the new iconic Frankston station is a grand, memorable entrance to our community. Combine that with a 14% decrease in crime in the year up to March this year and we are making history in Frankston by building a positive future for generations of our community to come.” What will you get done in your first 100 days of office? “You’ll see more of the same, non stop work ethic to keep building Frankston, providing for my community, delivering early works for the hospital redevelopment, moving forward on the Jubilee Park sports project and the many other projects including criminalizing wage theft and industrial manslaughter because having a job should mean you get paid and come home safe.” What would be your simple message to voters before election day? “I have ensured that a Labor government has done everything we said we would do for our community and more over the past four years and over the next four, if given the opportunity, I will do the same. Cranes in the sky, shovels in the ground, boots in the mud, and boom gates in the bin. We are talking about local jobs using locally trained skills and using local materials. “My message to voters is fairly simple, you have told me you wanted more resources for hospitals, schools, public transport and more jobs in our community. You’ve seen what I’ve done in the past four years in Frankston, wait until you see the next four.”

Frankston candidates

Michael Lamb - Liberal

WHAT was your job prior to entering politics? “I’m a current serving police officer of 32 years. I’m on leave at the moment to campaign but was most recently Detective Senior Sergeant in charge of all the drug investigations in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Prior to that I was the Station Commander at Frankston Police Station.” Why did you decide to get into politics? “I’ve always had an interest in politics. I’ve got to a stage now after 32 years as police officer that there are things I want to achieve and be involved in that I can’t as a police officer. I want to effect change at a Government level that will benefit the Frankston community. I’d be very honoured to be able to represent the people of Frankston in Parliament and that’s exactly what I will do if I am elected. I will listen, I will advocate and I will make sure that Government delivers for Frankston. “I’ve always been someone who gets involved at a community level. I am currently President of the Frankston YCW Football Netball Club and I also currently serve on the board of the police union, the Police Association of Victoria.” What is the number one issue facing your electorate? “The number one issue voters in Frankston go out of their way to tell me about is crime and safety. They feel that Daniel Andrews and Labor have lost control of law and order in Victoria, serious and violent crime is on the rise, they don’t feel safe in their own home and that they are sick of hearing about people committing serious crimes while on bail.” What will you do to fix/improve it? “We have developed many policies to protect Victoria from violent crime and to make Victoria safer. We will introduce mandatory jail sentences for repeat violent offenders, jail will mean jail. We will reform our bail and parole system. We will introduce a suite of measures to support and listen to victims of crime and put their rights ahead of those of criminals. We will introduce mandatory detox for

young offenders to get them off drugs such as crystal meth (ICE) which is driving a lot of the crime. “We also have a number of proactive measures such as re-introducing the Police in Schools program. This policy will deliver new, speciallytrained police officers that visit schools as part of the curriculum, talking about doing the right thing, road safety, drug education and as a friendly point of contact in the community for parents to nip problems in the bud.” What would be your one simple message to voters before election day? “After 32 years of policing on the front line, I feel the time is right for me to serve the people of Frankston in a different way. As a Member of Parliament I will listen to your concerns, be your voice on issues affecting us all and I will fight for the positive outcomes that Frankston deserves.” Are there any other policies or promises you would like voters be aware of? - New daytime PSO shift at Frankston Train Station. - Police presence at Frankston Bayside Shopping Centre. - Protecting Frankston beach and Port Philip Bay from Labor’s plan to dredge. - Establishment of a Committee for Good Character in Frankston to promote and recognise positive news stories and good character particularly amongst young people in Frankston. - Return of the Police in Schools Program. - Solar panels and batteries to power every Victorian public school. - Mandatory detox for young offenders. - Fixing congestion with level crossing removals and road intersection grade separation in Frankston. - No ICE and heroin injecting room in Frankston.* *Editor’s note: Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke has stated there are no plans for a safe injecting room in Frankston under a Labor government.

Colin Lane Greens

WHAT was/is your job prior to entering politics? “I am currently working as a Celebrant, after spending the past 15 years as a Salvation Army Officer.” Why did you decide to get into politics? “I believe in the values of the Greens, in particular the commitment to protecting the environment, social justice, and to addressing climate change. I want to make a difference and want to represent this community that I grew up in and that I love in the parliament.” What is the number one issue facing your electorate? “The need for better public transport and improved mental health services.” What will you do to fix/improve it? “The Greens have a comprehensive plan to improve rail services and buses in Frankston. We will extend Melbourne Metro to ensure it benefits all Victorians including those living in the South East. We also have a plan to invest in faster and more reliable bus routes.

“We have also pledged to provide $200 million over four years to restore funding to Community Mental Health Services to provide care to people who are not NDIS eligible.” What are your top priorities for funding in Frankston? “With homelessness an ever-increasing problem, funding needs to be provided to build more public housing right now. Together with plans to put a cap on rent rises and set minimum standards for rental properties, The Greens aim to ensure that everyone has a safe and comfortable home to live in.” What will you get done in your first 100 days of office? “My focus will be on delivering reliable and frequent public transport to communities in Frankston, ensuring Victoria is on the path to 100% renewable energy and that housing affordability across the region is addressed.”

“I HAVE run in five State Elections and two Federal Elections and during this time I have been a secondary school teacher. Prior to that I spent 5 years travelling around the world and prior to that I worked at Bluescope Steel. “I entered politics because politicians’ decisions can change the way we do things and from what I have seen, or read about, environmental catastrophe is on the way and we must reverse this or future generations will pay a massive as yet unknown price. “I don’t believe there is one number one issue facing the electorate but all people are aware that climate change is with us and that we are doing massive damage to the environment that keeps us alive. If there is one common thread it is annoyance/frustration with politicians and political parties in general. “In the first 100 days I would try to

have a ‘round table’ with other politicians as to what we can do and achieve to make a sustainable world. Then I would act on these. “I would like voters to know that I will write to all leading world powers, leading world navies and leading world maritime nations to see if they can work together and organize a massive clean up of the ‘circles of plastic’ in a number of our oceans. I will have these letters translated as well. “My simple message would be Vote for a Sustainable Future vote for me Henry Kelsall as your best chance of achieving this and at the same time you can send a clear message to the major parties that sustainability is important to you!”

Michael Long - Democratic Labour Party “UNTIL 2017 I had resisted the urge to even join a political party, much less stand for one at an election. However, upon closely observing the behaviour of Daniel Andrews and his government from 2014-2017, so much of it was not in the best interests of the people of Victoria, I resolved to run in the seat of Frankston at the 2018 Victorian State Election of 2018, in order to help disrupt what I had seen being done by Labor. “It would be easy to say the safety and security of the people of Frankston [is the number one issue], but that is only part of the issue. The broader issue is one of trust. Do the people trust Daniel Andrews to make decisions which are always and obviously in the best interests of Victoria and its people? The answer is clearly no. Our trust has been breached over and over again

in so many serious ways it cannot be allowed to continue. “FirstIy, I intend to assist the election of a trustworthy member of the Legislative Assembly who will at all times, openly and obviously, represent the best interests of the people of Frankston in the Victorian parliament. Secondly I will assist the election of a government which will do the same. “Vote for someone you believe you can trust to always act in the best interests of the people of Frankston in particular and the people of Victoria in general. “A point of difference between the DLP and the parties of all the other candidates is that we are unequivocally pro-life. We believe that human life should be protected from conception to natural death.”

Support for support group COMMUNITY Support Frankston have received a funding increase from the federal government. The community organisation will receive an extra $100,000 in government funding from January 2019 onwards. Dunkley MP Chris Crewther said “this funding increase of over $100,000 per annum, bringing the total funding amount to over $350,000, will enable Community Support Frankston to assist locals in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region even further. “Community Support Frankston is one of the busiest community sup-

port agencies in Victoria, with nearly 13,000 people contacting them for assistance last year. “Community Support Frankston has been helping residents with food parcels, clothes, bedding, household items and vouchers for utilities and supermarkets for decades. “I’m delighted that through this increased funding, Community Support Frankston can maintain their great work in providing emergency relief to those in our community who are most in need.”

Chelsea SES celebrate birthday Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au CHELSEA SES unit have passed a significant milestone, as they celebrated their 65th birthday with an event on 9 November. SES volunteer Phil Wall said the event went well and was a great celebration of 65 years of hard work. “It was a lovely day. It all went really well,” he said. “I’ve been asked what Chelsea SES is, and I’ve been there for 15 years and we have couple of members who have been there 25. Over my years and the 40 years I’ve lived in Chelsea, the area has changed so much in that time. “There is brand new areas here, there was no Aspendale Gardens, Patterson Lakes was just starting, they’ve all changed now. “The demographic of the area has changed too, the type of housing has changed, we’re seeing so many more subdivided areas now. “As far as the SES units go, our equipment is so different now, it’s cutting edge technol-

ogy. We have new vehicles and all of that stuff to help us with anything people need us for. That all changes and there’s a constant changing force. The one thing that has never changed though, the one constant, is the people. “Chelsea SES is the people, the ordinary people who that walk through those gates, put on the orange outfit, and help people when they need it.” Chelsea SES lays claim to being the longest ongoing unit in Victoria now they have passed the 65 year milestone. The unit began in 1953 as the Civil Defence Unit, before taking the name of Chelsea SES in 1975. The unit has 50 volunteer members active, with one being the 2018 Premier’s Volunteer Champion award winner Ron Fitch. Mr Fitch has also been recognised by Kingston Council as their Outstanding Citizen of the Year, and been awarded life member status by VICSES. The unit had volunteers attend the scene of numerous major events in the state’s history, such as the West Gate bridge collapse and the Black Saturday bushfires.

Charges over paramedic injuries A SOMERVILLE man has been charged with allegedly assaulting an off-duty female paramedic in a road rage incident in Bungower Road, Thursday 1 November. The man, 21, allegedly started following the 23-year-old when she flashed her headlights at him after he “cut her off”. Police will allege that when the woman parked her car, the man approached and smashed her window and kicked her side mirror. He is then alleged to have punched her in the face and struck her with a can of deodorant. The woman, who was in uniform, suffered facial injuries, including a broken eye socket. She is yet to learn if she will have to undergo surgery. The man left the scene but was later apprehended in Frankston. He faced Frankston Magistrates’ Court the next day charged with assaulting an emergency worker, intentionally causing serious injury, possessing cannabis and a controlled weapon. He was remanded in custody to reappear at the same court at a later date.

Somerville spree for stolen car POLICE are investigating a series

of ram raids conducted with a stolen car in the Somerville area. The 2004 silver Ford Falcon ute was stolen from a home on Bellary Lane Langwarrin at 5.30am on 7 November.

REHAU Heritage Double Hung Windows Now Available

Twin announcements for footy ground Continued Page 1 Dunkley MP Chris Crewther visited the ground on Sunday evening to announce federal government funding. “I’m so pleased that we’ve been able to secure the final piece of this puzzle, with Federal funding totalling $2.6 million, adding to the $2.6 million already secured by Donna Bauer,” he said. “This funding ensures the delivery of the new multi purpose sports pavilion and netball courts at RF Miles Reserve, along with the Seaford Football and Netball Club and the Seaford Cricket Club. “This is a great win for local footballers, netballers and cricketers, and the wider Seaford community. The project is now fully funded and will start as a priority under an elected Victorian Liberal Government.” Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in a statement “Chris has been knocking down my door to support the new multi-purpose pavilion and netball courts at RF Miles Reserve in Seaford. Like Chris, I know how important local sporting clubs are to communities and families. This is a great opportunity for Seaford and the netball, football and cricket clubs,

and our Government is proud to support the project.” Moments before Mr Crewther publicly announced federal liberal funding for the project, his Labor opponent for Dunkley Peta Murphy announced on Facebook that she too had secured $2.6 million for the redevelopment of the precinct if Labor take government at the next federal election. Ms Murphy later attended the ground to make the announcement on the same evening as Mr Crewther. Federal Labor support means that the project has received support from both major parties at both state and federal level, as well as the financial support of Frankston Council. “A Shorten Labor government will deliver $2.6 million in funding to RF Miles Reserve for the pavillion, the netball courts, cricket nets, and of course the oval. I’m really excited about this, Sonya Kilkenny has been talking to me about it ever since we knew the level crossing removal would be part of redeveloping this area. Once Sonya had her funding and commitment she was in my ear, so I was really thrilled when I got the tick off to announce this.”

Andrews is in their sights A GUN lobby is believed to have taken aim at Premier Daniel Andrews by putting up a large billboard on Peninsula Link saying “Not. Happy.Dan” near the Eastlink off-ramp. The large advertisement, pictured, which is seen by voters from marginal seats Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc, urges voters to put Labor last on their ballot papers at the 24 November poll. It is reportedly funded by the Shooting Industry Foundation of Australia (SIFA), which is backed by Australia’s largest firearms wholesalers. The billboard states on it that it is authorised by an R.Drew. Rodney Drew is the Executive Officer of SIFA. A Guardian Australia report says the gun industry lobby group will target the state government through an advertising blitz that makes no mention of guns but attacks the premier over crime and power prices. A SIFA spokesman told the Guardian the ads would run on TV, radio and on billboards until polling day. They make no mention of the organisation’s push to lobby governments over gun laws, which emerged in a report on the ABC’s Four Corners program.

Sister city visit maintains ‘strong’ relationship OUTGOING Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton has highlighted a recent trip to Frankston’s “sister city” Susono as a success. Cr Hampton travelled to the Japanese city alongside 23 other representatives. “For 36 years the two cities have maintained a close relationship, with regular delegation visits to each other, and there are many people in our community who give up their own time to ensure the relationship remains strong and equitable,” CrHampton said. “The sister city relationship is based on cultural understandings and volunteer members of each community with a passion for other cultures. We hope that the relationship lasts for many more years to come. “Frankston City looks forward to welcoming a delegation from Susono to Frankston in early 2020, led by Mayor Takamura and his wife Noriko.” Cr Hampton used the trip to detail

plans for a japense themed garden outisde Frankston Private Hospital. Frankston Susono Friendship Association chairperson Peter Patterson said “younger Susono residents were particularly blown away by the immersive experience of our virtual reality offering ‘Frankston, you’re standing in it.’ “The virtual reality experience, produced by Bruce Pearce, featured iconic Frankston scenes such as Nepean Highway, Frankston Waterfront, Wells Street precinct and the Japanese Garden at Frankston High School, just to name a few.” The virtual reality presentation can be viewed on the Frankston Susono website frankston-susono.com The trip was paid for out of the former mayor’s pocket, after fellow councillors voted on 3 April that ratepayers should not foot the bill for the visit (“Mayor pays own way on Japan visit”, The Times, 30/4/18).

Labor looks to sports THE state Labor Government have directed their attention towards sport in their last push to claim the win in the 24 November state election. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny announced the latest batch of sporting funding would be directed towards Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve upon re-election. The promised funding would go towards implementing femalefriendly change rooms for the Skye Football Club, as well as a rebuild of the pavillion. “Our local clubs know how much this investment is needed and I’m proud to help deliver this vital up-

grade,” Ms Kilkenny said. Sports minister John Eren MP said “local sport is about bringing local people together. With brand new female friendly changerooms, we’ll help make Carrum Downs’ local clubs, and local community, stronger than ever.” In addition to the Carrum Downs’ pledge, Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson has visited Regents Park to announce a $3.5 million dollar funding boost to the home of EdithvaleAspendale if re-elected. Mr Richardson also announced this week $125,000 in budgeted funding for a revamp of the Cheltenham Pan-

thers’ change room facilities. Roy Dore Reserve and RF Miles Reserve in Carrum and Seaford have received bipartisan support for funding from both major parties. The state Liberals have pledged funds to redeveloping Lloyd Park in Langwarrin in conjunction with the federal government, but are still looking for a Frankston council commitment before beginning the project. Biggest match yet to come: Labor is banking on sports being a big vote winner next weekend. Picture: Supplied

On the road to the state election Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au ALL roads lead to this weekend’s election, as both major party look to traffic reducing infrastructure in their final push for votes. The state coalition has pledged to put $600 million into getting rid of traffic lights along the Dingley Bypass to create the new “Dingley Freeway”. In addition to the removal of six sets of lights, the intersection at Westall Road and Spring Road in Dingley Village is also on the chop-

ping block. Three sets of lights in Clarinda and three in Springvale South will be axed under the state opposition’s plan. The opposition say that they will work to raise the speed limit on the road to 100 km/h after the removal of these intersections. Opposition leader Matthew Guy said “under Daniel Andrews the population of the City of Kingston has increased by over 5% from 153,034 in 2014 to 161,089 in 2017. The Dingley Bypass and Tootal Road intersection has had a massive 26.8% increase in weekday traffic in the

last two years. In 2016 there was a reported 36,742 vehicles passing through this intersection and in 2018 it was 46,607. That’s around 10,000 extra vehicles every day. “The Dingley Bypass and Boundary Road intersection has had a 24.1% increase in weekday traffic in the last two years. In 2016 there was a reported 48,013 vehicles passing through this intersection and in 2018 it was 59,591.” “A Liberal Nationals Government will fix arterial roads like Dingley Bypass. This will save local motorists up to 30 minutes a day on a round trip which is time better spent with

family and friends. “Under our project, construction of the first intersection removals will commence as soon as possible.” Meanwhile, the state Labor Government have put their attention towards another road promise of their own, pledging to install new traffic lights at the intersection of Ballarto Road and Lyrebird Drive in Carrum Downs. The $2.5 million election promise is aiming to improve the safety of the intersection. Two casualties have been recorded there since 2013. “This upgrade will improve traffic flow, take the stress out of getting in

and out of Lyrebird Drive, and most importantly, improve safety for our community,” Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said. “The upgrade follows Labor’s $169 million commitment to fix Hall Road, duplicating 5.2 kilometres from McCormicks Road to Cranbourne-Frankston Road, doubling the existing two lanes to four. “Whether you’re in the car, on a bike or out for a walk, this upgrade will make the intersection of Lyrebird Drive and Ballarto Road safer for everyone.”

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Yuletide Is Now Coming In By Stuart McCullough I CAN’T wait for Christmas. I’ve no idea how many sleeps it is but I’m awaiting it with breath so baited you could catch a trout with it. I love it all – the rising sense of anticipation and sense of release when the day finally arrives. Granted, there are administrative complexities – with everybody married or partnered and various competing interests, it’s easier to organize a war than it is a Christmas family function. Regardless, I think it’s great. We had overseas relatives. These were mostly people I’d met once, when my Aunt got married in 1982. Given the significance of the occasion, a posse of my great Aunts came out from Ireland. (I doubt they’d ever use a term like ‘posse’, but ‘gang’ might suggest they were all carrying switchblades instead of handbags, which, to the best of my knowledge, they weren’t.) To a child they looked like old ladies. But they were stern and tough. I suspect any one of them could have taken my father down in an arm wrestling competition. Unluckily for me, the reception included dancing but did not extend to arm wrestling. Not officially. Weddings aside, we heard from our overseas relatives on birthdays and at Christmas. Even though they hardly knew us at all, they always sent gifts. And those gifts were, without fail, monogrammed handkerchiefs. For decades, I never had to buy a handkerchief – my great Aunts had ensured I was well stocked. A monogrammed handkerchief is an

PAGE 22

odd thing, when you think about it. An anonymous handkerchief gives you the option of disowning whatever disgusting thing you manage to blow between its linen pages. It defies logic that you should want people to know that whatever’s in there belongs to you. Presumably monogrammed handkerchiefs were invented in age before business cards existed. You could meet a potential business associate and rather than hand them your contact details on a card, you could simply give them your handkerchief. ‘Here,’ you might say as you pressed a folded fabric square into the palm of a new acquaintance, ‘I blew my nose in this earlier.’ That’s how real friend-

Frankston Times 20 November 2018

ships are made. While my great Aunts could be counted on to send hankies with our initials, my parents would be responsible for stuffing the stockings, so to speak. Each child in our family had a stocking. On Christmas Day it would be stuffed full of things we’d only ever see once a year. Chocolate coins, miniature hard-boiled lollies in a tiny jar and coloured popcorn that was always stale on the day you got it. Always. These things had little chance of surviving the day and guaranteed that someone would be seriously car sick at some point. For that was the other thing – everything had to be done on the day itself. This meant visiting

both sets of grandparents and gorging ourselves to the point of illness in between sitting in a traffic jam. It was always awkward – the day would begin with a shower of presents that you were then expected to leave as you began a marathon of Christmas meals that would only end when the last crumb of Christmas pudding was fed to you through a tube. It’s different now. The whole thing takes about a week; to visit every satellite and outpost branch of the family. After a time, it becomes a Groundhog Day event. Except that instead of Sonny and Cher’s ‘I Got You Babe’ playing on a loop, it’s the Christmas album that Michael Buble re-releases every year. It’s enough to

drive someone, if not to the brink of insanity, then certainly to Northcote and back. Even along Punt Road. My father has come in for his fairshare of criticism. For a long time, this was a direct result of his refusal to buy a new Christmas tree. The old one had been almost entirely denuded of its plastic needles with the end result looking less festive than it did the end result of some minor apocalypse. It was tiny, too. So much so that as the family grew steadily bigger, there was a very real chance that the tree would be under the presents, rather than the other way around. I love the moment when the my various nephews and nieces – some of whom have had to restrain themselves – are let off the leash in search of a gift with their name on it. I love the way the younger, more enthusiastic members, stand astride wrapped packages like Godzilla, about to wreak destruction. That kind of fervor is a fleeting temporal thing. It should be celebrated, I think. My brother’s specialty is lighting the brandy to pour over dessert. It never fails to impress the children who – in terms of best practice – would be better off if they weren’t fascinated with fire. Each year, my brother tries to outdo himself. The day will surely come when the dessert immolates entirely and can only be identified through its dental records. It’s chaotic and imperfect but I wouldn’t miss it. As the Christmas pudding succumbs to the flames, I’ll be there, munching stale coloured popcorn as I watch. I can’t wait. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

TO THE EDITOR. Sir; It has been brought under my notice that rumors are being circulated that I have refused to assist the Red Cross and that the lady collector was ordered off my premises. Now, Sir, I give the rumour re the refusal to support, an absolute denial, but the ordering off is correct. The facts are that the collector was ordered off my premises, and informed in the presence of a witness that the money would still be paid to the Red Cross, but through a different source. I have no wish to make public the cause of the Red Cross collectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismissal, but will be very willing to explain to anyone personally. The collector is well acquainted with the reason and has little cause to complain of my treatment to her, knowing, as she does, that it was fully justified. Dame rumor is too apt to take away a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character, but it is a very hard person to punish as one can never get her in the open.

FEW districts in Victoria have been so much neglected as the Mornington Peninsula, more especially the hilly country situated towards the southern end, and known as Red Hill. The costal strip, in which are the favorite seaside resorts of Flinders, Cape Schanck, Dromana, Rye and Sorrento, is familiar to tourists and holiday makers, but the central district is still practically unknown. It is a picturesque country, possessing a fertile soil and an equitable climate. Late frosts are rarely experienced, and the district is particularly suitable for orchards and root crops. Strawberry culture is carried on extensively allottments of not more than 20 acres yield a comfortable living, but thousands of acres are undeveloped. The main reason given for this backward state of affairs is that there is not a decent road traversing the hilly country. Recognising the possibilities of this section of the Peninsula, the Country Roads Board has recently taken over, under the Development Roads Act, more than 30 miles of road in the shire of Flinders. These roads will intersect the district in all directions, and the council is to push on with their construction. Tenders have already been called for sections, and these are the forerunner of larger contracts which will be let as soon as the necessary preliminary work has been completed. *** ON Saturday last a number of returned soldiers were entertained in the Frankston Mechanicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hall, by members of the Wattle Club. *** OUR readers are reminded of a grand

Game saver: A century to Justin Grant helped Mt Eliza get across the line for a win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Century gets Mount Eliza across the line By Brodie Cowburn

PROVINCIAL

AN expertly taken century from Justin Grant has helped Mt Eliza to a nailbiter two day win over Mornington at Emil Madsen Reserve. A big first day score of 85 from Ben Clements helped the Bulldogs to a good total of 216, which looked to be defendable. A top order collapse and some middle order struggles saw the Redlegs struggling at 6/86, before Grant really stamped his authority on the game. His unbeaten century saw them surpass their target of 216 with only two wickets in hand. At Baxter Park, Peninsula Old Boys were thoroughly defeat by an impressive Baxter side. OB’s tame total of 104 was passed with ease, as Baxter recovered from 2/15 to end up at 2/245 at the close of play. Daniel Warwick’s 77 not out, including 15 fours, proved the highlight of the day. Pearcedale’s decision to bat first in their match against Sorrento proved an unwise decision, as the Sharks made easy work of them on day two of their claws. Needing to beat 140 for the win, Sorrento put together a good middle order performance to end their innings at 7/214 before declaring. Pearcedale put on a better showing from 40 overs in their second innings, with an opening stand of 86 runs helping them along to 4/159, though the first innings was already lost.

At Lloyd Park, Flinders could only manage a paltry total of 57 against Langwarrin. All four Langy bowlers claimed a wicket as they tore through the side, enforcing the follow on and keeping them to 4/53 off their second innings.

PENINSULA

RED Hill have might light work of a target of 168 in their match against Crib Point at Crib Point Recreation Reserve. Crib Point would have liked their chances after getting off to a brilliant start and leaving the Hillmen bruised at 3/23. 3 and 4 batsmen Simon Dart and Alex Browne then steadied the ship, scoring a whopping 164 runs between them to put their side firmly in the box seat. Red Hill ended the day at 7/250. Pines had to work hard in order to defend their total of 189. But got the job done against Somerville. Somerville lost their first wicket without score to get off to a rocky start, but quickly got things back on track with a 64 run partnership. At 3/142 they would have liked their chances of going on to win, but a disastrous collapse left them all out for 171. Patrick Jackson did the damage, taking 8/68 off a stunning 42 overs. At Overport Park, a slow scoring Baden Powell could not get near a total of 165 set by Long Island. Baden Powell’s opening three batsmen combined for just 15 runs, leav-

ing them little chance. They were bowled out for 115 runs. Stuart Swift was pick of the bowlers, taking a five wicket haul on the day. Moorooduc have bounced back well to restore some pride after a disastrous first innings against Main Ridge. After their first innings came to a close for just 86 runs, they were keen to make amends. Reece Cordeaux’s 7 wickets saw them bring Main Ridge’s first innings to a close for 151, but it was Moorooduc’s second innings where they really impressed. They bounced back from their first innings total of 86 to make 7/218 before declaring. Main Ridge also had a crack at a second innings, and ended their day in a disappointing position at 6/83

DISTRICT

DELACOMBE Park have battled hard to get within touching distance, but fallen just short of their target against Rosebud. Chasing 185 to win, a good opening run stand of 39 was broken up by two quick wickets, the second being a runout. Jaquoin Mackenzie helped his side stay in reach with a serviceable 39, but ultimately his Rosebud teammates couldn’t top him, and they fell just short at all out for 167. Billy Quigley impressed with ball in hand, claiming five wickets. Mt Martha have nearly pulled off a miracle win over Seaford, bouncing back from 7/63 to nearly chase down

152 to win. Rhys Whitling’s brilliant half century from the tail nearly proved the difference, but ultimately his side ended up all out for 127. Whitling was the last man out, and was close to pulling off an almighty achievement. Seaford came in for a second innings, but ended the day at 6/98. Hastings have battered Seaford Tigers thanks to a brilliant century from Malith Chathuranga. His knock of 107 not out, with 14 fours to his name, was helpful in getting his side to a total of 4/225 by stumps. They met their target of 132 with little trouble. At Bruce Park, Heatherhill’s mammoth total of 9/285 was challenged by a brave Carrum side who came not far off meeting their lofty target. Carrum worked hard to keep the run rate ticking, but ultimately ended up all out for an impressive total of 250.

SUB DISTRICT

A SENSATIONAL batting collapse from Rye has opened the door for Tootgarook to claim a shock first innings win in their two day clash. Defending just 109 runs, Tootgarook had their work well and truly cut out for them. Rye however collapsed sensationally, losing their first three wickets in succession as Jacob Long claimed a hat trick. He would finish with a stunning 8 wickets, as Rye were bowled out for 75. Tootgarook came back in and made a snappy 155 before declaring and

chasing the second innings as well. Rye struggled, but held their nerve as they ended the day at 5/88. Skye’s tame total of 153 was enough to hold off the Tyabb on Saturday, as the Yabbies suffered from opening and tail end collapsed. The Yabbies were left languishing at 2/4, and also lost their last 5 wickets for just 10 runs. Clint Donohue was the star bowler for Skye, claiming 6/12 off 14 overs. Skye came in for a second innings and finished up at 1/34 at stumps. Frankston YCW can count themselves unlucky to have fallen short of Boneo’s target of 199 runs. Off to a tough start at 2/13, the Stonecats slowly worked their way into the game with some good middle order performances. Although they look threatening, YCW eventually fell short and were bowled out for 177. Sean Spencer took nearly career best bowling figures of 5/29, including the scalps of both openers. Dromana’s team performance earned them a total of 191 last week, a total that could be easily defended. Carrum Downs looked up to the task however, and worked hard to chip away at the total. Despite their best efforts, Carrums Downs were bowled out for 173 with 7 overs to spare. Zacc Clan’s 5/41 made him the pick of the bowlers. Balnarring had a bye.

Watch out for Mornington SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ADAM Jamieson is close to finalising a senior squad which he believes can take Mornington into the NPL. While other local clubs have been announcing new signings in a piecemeal manner Jamieson has quietly gone about the business of overhauling his playing staff and he’s pleased with the outcome. Last week the club took to social media to name the 14 players already secured for next season. “It’s a pretty strong squad on paper but we know what on paper means and until you go out there and do it then it doesn’t mean much,” Jamieson said. He’s known for keeping his cards close to his chest but will at least acknowledge that this current squad has more players with NPL experience than ever before. Striker Amir Osmancevic has joined from Northcote, defenders Andy McIntyre and Andy Mclean and striker Liam Baxter have been signed from Langwarrin, midfielder Sam Catherine has been lured from Dandenong Thunder along with goalkeeper Sermin Sadkovski from Richmond while midfielder or winger Ross Clark has joined from Mooroolbark. Goalkeeper Steve Bayard, defenders Josh Valadon and Charlie Parker and midfielders Sam Scott and Andre Bennett have been retained while 20-year-old defender Lachy Thomas and 20-year-old forward Charlie O’Connell have been promoted from the club’s development squad. Jamieson is keen to retain Craig Smart, Keegan Ziada and Sammy Orritt but negotiations are ongoing and the future of Stefan Soler is unclear. Smart has been linked with Peninsula Strikers and Berwick City, Ziada with Berwick City and Orritt with Oakleigh Cannons. Stevie Elliott has joined Doveton, Jamie Cumming has joined Langwarrin and Max Etheridge is rumoured to be on the radar of former club Kingston City. “Next season we can have four visa players on a teamsheet and at the moment we’ve only got three,” Jamieson said. “Sammy would be the fourth visa if we can convince him to stay and believe me I’m trying.” The top two sides in State 1 SouthEast will be promoted to a third-tier elite league created for the 2020 season and Jamieson aims to take Mornington there. “It’s a fresh start for everyone really.

Take two: Former Bishop Auckland midfielder Andre Bennett has signed on for a second season at Mornington. Picture: John Punshon

The plan from day one was to get a lot of new boys in as some boys wanted to move on and some boys went back to the UK and New Zealand. “I’m really excited about this squad and I’m super excited about working with [new assistant coach] Nathan Peel. “He’s worked at every professional level in England and he’s going to be an unbelievable asset to the football club, to all the players and to be honest to me too. I’m going to learn a lot which is going to be great for my development as a coach and manager.” Jamieson has pinpointed poor home results over the past two seasons as an area of concern and that has prompted the scheduling of a number of preseason matches at Dallas Brooks Park. Mornington will host Peninsula Strikers on Thursday 14 February, Banyule on Saturday 16 February, Berwick City on Saturday 23 February and Clifton Hill on Saturday 16 March. Mornington will try to win the Steve Wallace Memorial Cup for a sixth straight year on Saturday 2 February and will open its 2019 FFA Cup campaign on Saturday 9 March.

Jamieson and Peel will start pre-season training on Tuesday 27 November and the last session for 2018 will be on Tuesday 18 December. Training resumes on Tuesday 15 January and a pre-season camp at Barwon Heads has been scheduled for the first weekend in March. The main pitch at Dallas Brooks Park is now floodlit and Mornington may play a couple of night games next season. In NPLW news American import Michaela Dooley has left Southern United after arriving last July from Swedish club Skövde KIK. The 23-year-old was on a two-year contract with Southern with a oneyear option and chose the Monterey Reserve outfit after turning down a short-term offer of $2500 a month, a job and free accommodation from a Queensland-based club. Although Dooley has agreed terms with a Brisbane-based side competing in Queensland’s NPLW competition it is not the club which tried to snatch her from Southern’s grasp last season. Dooley will play with Souths United in 2019. The club finished fourth last season

and is expected to recruit aggressively with a view to challenging for the title next year. “I know a couple of girls there and they have a strong competitive environment and they work on bringing in a couple of internationals each year,” Dooley said. “I really enjoyed my time at Southern and the girls there went above and beyond to make sure I integrated. “The sense of community and their youth program are a big plus and even though we struggled we improved a ton by the end of the season. “Hopefully they’ll have a good year and I’ll certainly be following them from afar.” In State 3 South-East news Skye United senior coach Phil McGuinness is trying to hold on to the core group of players who took the club to a thirdplaced finish in State 3 South-East last season. Star striker Caleb Nicholes retired before the last match of the 2018 season and McGuinness is acutely aware of the impact that could have. “The absence of his goals and experience has left a huge hole to fill but Daniel Attard and Mitch Blake are

looking forward to the challenge of filling the big man’s boots and we’re also looking at bringing in a third striker to keep the competition healthy up front,” McGuinness said. “We don’t have the spending power of some of the clubs in our area so it’s important to keep hold of the players we have.” Midfielders Mark O’Connor (calf) and Marcus Collier (ACL) are recovering from injuries and McGuinness hopes to have Collier available midway through the 2019 season. Baxter and Frankston Pines are among a group of clubs circling around young midfielder Jack Gallagher. “Yeah I’ve heard he’s creating a lot of interest from other clubs but I had a chat with him and he seems pretty happy to stay and fight for his spot,” McGuinness said. “I’ve been in contact with a few of my old players from my Langy days (as reserves coach) and hopefully I’ve done enough to convince them to try out at Skye during preseason.” In State 4 South news Seaford United announced last week that brothers Matt and Jeremy Schwellinger and Dion Stallbaum had been re-signed for next season. In State 5 South news former Berwick City reserves coach Lee Barber is the new senior coach of Aspendale Stingrays. Barber has 40 years’ experience as a player, referee and coach and has been in charge of the Berwick reserves for the past four seasons. Young Stingrays defender Alex Griffiths did his ACL while playing for the seniors last season and missed out on the under-18A finals. He put surgery on hold while concentrating on his VCE exams and will miss the 2019 season. The Stingrays’ attacking options have been bolstered with leading scorer Domenic Paul signing on for next season and Alex Taylor-Hirst returning from working in the UK. Taylor-Hirst scored 11 goals in the 10 games he played this year. Under-18 strikers Quinn Carter and Ben Garside Weinert are expected to be involved with the senior squad alongside key defender Noah Berends and goalkeeper Matthew Self who played in the reserves this season as well as the title-winning under-18 side. Under-18s midfielders James Macnab and Justin Lampert both had a taste of senior soccer last season and have re-signed for 2019.

Steelers open up mental health chat THE WESTERN Port Steelers will lead the way when it comes to mental health and wellbeing for basketballers in Victoria as they commence their new resilience project on Tuesday 11 December. Becoming the first basketball association in Victoria to implement this initiative, the Steelers will hold a “resilience project” information session that looks at building resilience within sporting clubs, schools and work places as well as opening up conversations about mental health and positive health habits. The program is targeted towards the junior basketballers, in particular the representative players due to the perceived extra pressure of competing at that level, to help teach them ways to handle the stress and continue to enjoy a sport they love competing in. Western Port Steelers head of Health and Well-being, Carina Spencer, said she was looking forward to seeing the program kick off at the club. “Westernport basketball association has recently invested time and money supported by a grant in creating a health and well-being program including youth mental health first aid trained officers as well as counsellor strategies

and advice for our referees,” Spencer said. “It is a much welcomed program and the benefits have been evident to date as it opens up conversations about mental health as well as positive health habits including mindfulness. “We are the first basketball association in Victoria to implement this initiative and we are hoping we can continue to bring our basketball community with ongoing training and support throughout all levels of the association.” On top of the “resilience project”, the program also entails a “positive coaching” course which will be used to assist the Steelers’ representative coaches. Western Port Steelers basketball operations manager, Tyler Molloy, was also keen to see the program take off at the club. “I think it’s awesome,” he said. “I coach some junior teams and I think it’s very important these days to focus on these issues. It’s a huge learning tool and it’s reasonably new so hopefully we can be an innovator for this project and hopefully more clubs will follow suit.” The information session is free for Western Port Steelers players and while it isn’t compulsory, it’s a highly recommended event to attend.

Peninsula’s best face off in bowling finals SOME of the best bowlers from the Mornington Peninsula will battle it out in the Regional Triples Final on Wednesday 21 November at the Mount Eliza Bowling Club. Having made their way through the semifinals in convincing fashion, Mt Eliza will play off against Frankston in the Men’s division while Dromana and Karingal will face off in the Women’s division. A packed crowd is anticipated to attend the final which will be played under-lights and is set to kick off at 6:00pm. Mount Eliza Bowling Club chairman, Dale Verhagen, said he was very much looking forward to seeing how Mt Eliza go against Frankston. “We didn’t have a team in this last year,”

Verhagen said. “It’s quite a strong competition on the Peninsula but I think we’re going into this year with a good chance. They had a comfortable semi-final win and hopefully they can do it again, but I’m confident they’ll go well in a fairly even competition.” The Peninsula Bowling Division invited Mt Eliza to host the Regional Triple Finals this year and Verhagen said it was an offer that the club was “obviously quite happy to take up”. “There’s usually a lot of food and drink for everyone and it always seems to be quite a good night,” he said. The winners of the Regional Triples Finals will then head towards the State Triples Finals at the Brighton Bowling Club.

Carrum Stars live out their “bag of dreams” By Ben Triandafillou FROM suffering defeat in a lowly rated maiden to finding success at the elite level, a group of former Carrum footballers have enjoyed living out a piece of their “bag of dreams” over the recent spring racing carnival. The Robbie Laing-trained and aptly named colt, Stars of Carrum, surged his way into the $2 million Group One Victoria Derby field on Saturday 3 November where he finished runners-up and took his winning prize money to $526,355 from nine starts. Despite looking unlikely to have enough earnings to make the Derby field, the 20-strong ownership group along with trainer, Robbie Laing, believed their colt still had the ability to match it with the best three-yearold stayers in the country. Their faith certainly wasn’t misplaced as the son of Melbourne Cup victor, Fiorente, went from being defeated by a lip in a Bairnsdale maiden at the start of October to notching his first victory two starts later in the $200,000 Group Two Moonee Valley Vase at the odds of $51. That victory provided Stars of Carrum with enough prize money to make the final field for the Flemington feature. Majority owner and avid racing fan, Peter Cox, said it was incredible to even get to the Derby considering where Stars of Carrum finished at his previous starts. “It’s our eight-day claim to fame,” Cox said. “[Stars of Carrum] went from winning $29,000 and being lucky to actually make that Moonee Valley Vase field to then winning the race and running second in the Derby. He went from $29,000 (after seven starts) to now $526,000 and making nearly half a million dollars in eight days. “If we were told when we were in a Bairnsdale maiden and we lost by a lip that we would go onto run second in the Derby I think we would have taken that beautifully.” “It’s quite incredible because most of the owners in this horse, it’s their first horse that they’ve ever owned. I’m sure some of the first-time own-

ers would be thinking ‘how easy is this, we should have been in this years ago’.” Despite having minimal luck with his other 15 horses he’s been involved in, Cox has always held belief that the Stars of Carrum would go onto win big things. “I really wanted to be involved with a Fiorente colt and when I found out last year that Robbie hadn’t sold any shares in this one I told him ‘I’d take 50 per cent right now’ and would find others to come in as well,” Cox said. “I crashed a barbeque with some of the former Carrum footballers there and said ‘I know you lot know close to nothing about racehorses but I know you like one week of the carnival, the Melbourne Cup’. I said to them ‘I have the 2020 Melbourne Cup winner right here’ and I handed out sheets to them all. “I said I was prepared to have up to 20 owners that way everyone gets their name in the race book. Within a few weeks I had all the slots filled and Robbie even wanted to stay in the horse.” The ownership group in the Stars of

Carrum, who races in navy blue with red starred silks in support of Cox’s favourite AFL team, Melbourne, has ticked off one dream and will be out to check off another next year. “We got the dream of the Derby and now maybe the next dream can be bought a year ahead from 2020 and maybe we can try and get into the Melbourne Cup with a lightweight,” Cox said. “You’ve got to qualify but why not have the bag of dreams. Every horse owner has a bag of dreams and I reckon that’d be ours.” That dream may have become slightly closer to a reality with the Victoria Racing Club’s decision to introduce a fifth ballot exempt race for the Melbourne Cup next year - The Andrew Ramsden, which will be held in May for three, four and five-yearold horses. Whether or not they reach the dream of a start in the Melbourne Cup, Cox said to just be able to have fun chatting with co-owners and celebrating a success story like this is what horse ownership is all about.

Juniors have a ball at Frankston Cup, Hewitt cheers By Ben Triandafillou BETTER Tennis’ fourth and final bronze tournament for the year, the 2018 Frankston Cup, had some exceptional talent on and off the court. The three day event which kicked off on Saturday 3 November had more than 180 talented juniors competing across the Frankston and Overport Park venues. There was also the rare sighting of Australian tennis star and former world number one, Lleyton Hewitt, on the sidelines cheering on his son, Cruz, who competed in the under-12s competition. Cruz made the quarter-finals in the 64 player draw. Retired professional tennis player Peter Luczak also attended the tournament. Better Tennis coach David Laird said it was great to have the tennis stars on the sidelines as the junior tennis players loved the excitement built up around them. “The first day [Lleyton] was a little bit undercover and watching his son Cruz play but by the end of the day he was taking pictures with everyone and really interacting with the kids which was great to see,” Laird said. For the tournament itself, Laird said it just continues to get more popular each time. “It keeps growing in numbers every time we have one of these competitions,” he said. “We had to hire 10 courts from Overport Park on the first two days, with Brad [Grose]

overseeing everything there, and then we used another 15 courts down at Frankston as well for the entire time.” “It all went really smooth which was probably helped by Steven [Foot]’s scheduling as everything was planned perfectly to time. “Sometimes people try to cram in too many matches for a tournament but Steve nailed it and everything ran perfectly.” The winners from the 2018 Frankston Cup were: under-11 Boys Singles - Nicholas Huang; under-11 Girls Singles - Kylah Schuwalow; under-12 Boys Singles - Josh Ascar; under-12 Boys Doubles - Nick Fraser & Sebastian Tring; under-12 Girls Singles - Kimiko Cooper; under-12 Girls Doubles - Kimiko Cooper & Lily Koleski; under-14 Boys Singles - Joshua Mercuri; under-14 Boys Doubles - Joshua Mercuri & Nicholas Miloi; under-14 Girls Singles - Madi Howell; under-14 Girls Doubles - Isabella Chessler & Jasmine Harding; under-16 Boys Singles - John McDonald; under-16 Boys Doubles - Harrison Flack & Cooper Gibbs; under-16 Girls Singles - Jasmyn Heriot; and under-16 Girls Doubles - Jasmyn Heriot & Phillipa Speldewinde.
