Hub sign ‘hubbub’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Biff Bang Pow!

Shop 61 Station St Mall, Frankston

A SEVEN-STOREY sign advertising Karingal Hub Shopping Centre has been given the go-ahead by Frankston Council after a feisty debate at the 3 April public council meeting. The shopping centre owners ISPT Super Property asked councillors to approve an illuminated and floodlit promotional sign at Karingal Hub ahead of a major refit of the shopping centre. Council’s decision was deferred from December until this month. Councillors were split on approving the advertising sign at the April council meeting. Mayor Cr Colin Hampton used his mayoral casting vote to give the sign the green light after councillors were split 4-4 on the matter. “I don’t think it’s intrusive at all,” Cr Hampton said at the meeting. “That development in Karingal Hub is going to be magnificent … it’s a $110 million development”. Cr Glenn Aitken was most vocal in opposition to the shopping centre sign. “The nature of it will change that part of the face of Frankston forever,” he said. “It is a brutal and unnecessary impost in the Frankston environment. It is gaudy. It is a case of commercial greed overtaking good planning commonsense. “This is a public disgrace. If this actually seriously goes ahead it calls this whole council’s credibility into question to such an extent that one can only wonder if this council is really capable of properly balanced property planning decisions. “Should council disappear and be administered if this is the best Frankston Council

can do for its community?” Cr Michael O’Reilly led the support for the sign. “I myself am a resident of the local area and I have absolutely no problem with it,” he said. The North-East Ward councillor noted VicRoads had no objections to “a massive sign” and there had been two objections to the proposal “and we haven’t heard from them in months”. Cr O’Reilly said the advertising sign and centre upgrades will support the “little stores” and small businesses at the shopping centre. Crs Quinn McCormack and Steve Toms feared the seven-storey sign installation would set a precedent across the municipality despite arguments an exception should be made since Karingal Hub is near Peninsula Link and the sign would attract passing trade. Council officers recommended the sign installation be approved but Cr Aitken argued the height and size contravened council’s advertising signs policy in the Frankston Planning Scheme. Cr Hampton said he had visited the centre for a demonstration using a balloon to show the height of the planned sign. The mayor said it would be located “at the back of the Mitre 10” at the rear of the centre. “Sometimes the theatrics in this place would put Peter O’Toole to shame,” he said. Crs Aitken, McCormack, Toms and deputy mayor Cr Lillian O’Connor voted against the sign being erected while Crs Brian Cunial, Sandra Mayer, O’Reilly and the mayor voted for its installation. Cr Kris Bolam abstained, saying it is arguable the advertising sign’s size complies with planning guidelines.

Mayor’s ‘fake news’ column faced complaint Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A CONTENTIOUS column by Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton in which the mayor blasted “local” media coverage of council matters led to a now-withdrawn complaint from a councillor. North-West Ward councillor Kris Bolam lodged a formal complaint with council CEO Dennis Hovenden about the mayoral column published in council’s Frankston City News quarterly (“Mayor hits out at ‘fake news’”, The Times 26/2/18) since he said the column was inconsistent with council policy and “is potentially damaging relations with the press”.

A mediation meeting was attended by both the mayor and Cr Bolam and it was agreed the mayor would bring any future “contentious” statements made as council’s official spokesperson to fellow councillors’ attention before publication. The column is available to be read by councillors before publication but is generally not flagged to councillors. An unrepentant Cr Hampton said he had no regrets about penning the column when contacted by The Times in the wake of the mediation meeting. “There’s nothing at all wrong with what was written. It’s fact,” he said. “I don’t think it did anything against having improved relations with the media.

“All I was doing was reporting the facts.” The mayor noted he had complained to the Australian Press Council about “biased” news in the Frankston Standard Leader newspaper and the News Corp publication had twice been ordered to publish the Press Council’s rulings “to correct the record”. Cr Bolam said he had made the complaint since he believed the mayor had gone “beyond his remit” in slamming the local media. “Freedom of information and the impartiality of the press is something that should absolutely be celebrated rather than execrated,” he said. Cr Bolam said he had withdrawn the complaint after the mayor agreed to flag any future contentious com-

ments in future mayoral columns in the Frankston City News. Cr Bolam said the mayor had also agreed to make it clear any such mayoral statement would make it clear it was Cr Hampton’s opinion or point of view rather than an official council policy. The next stage of the complaint would have cost ratepayers money to pursue. “I have no interest in having monies and resources utilised on legal advice and arbitration so I ultimately decided to withdraw the complaint on the basis that Cr Hampton had made a number of concessions,” Cr Bolam said. In June last year, a 5-3 majority of councillors voted to change Frankston Council’s communications

policy to encourage staff “to create, and maintain, positive working relationships with local media outlets”. The mayor and CEO have now started hosting meetings with the local press to answer questions each month after monthly council meetings. The first of the monthly meetings was held on 9 April and also attended by several council managers and officers. Cr Hampton ordered Cr Bolam from the 3 April public council meeting after a disagreement over comments the mayor made about councillors lodging notices of motion (See “Councillor kicked out of meeting”, page 4).

CEO knocks back pay hike

Flinders swimmers pip Padua AFTER playing catch up to Padua Secondary College at the Southern Independent Schools swimming carnivals for the past 28 years, Flinders Christian College finally emerged victorious in Division A last week. “It was a fantastic achievement and our swimming squad has worked so hard for this great achievement,” marketing head Monica Wulff said.

Placings and overall points were: Flinders 739.5, Padua 714, St Francis Xavier 610, Woodleigh 568.5, Cornish 533 and Berwick 251. Flinders College staff and coaches couldn’t hide their excitement at the win, jumping and cartwheeling into the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre pool – and spreading their excitement to the students.

FRANKSTON Council’s highest-paid employee has turned down a pay rise. Councillors conducted council CEO Dennis Hovenden’s annual performance review last month and collectively decided his performance as “satisfactory” according to the minutes of the 3 April council meeting. The minutes also revealed Mr Hovenden decided not to accept a proposed 2 per cent increase on his $325,000 annual remuneration including pre-tax payments on a vehicle. “I have decided not to accepted a proposed increase to my remuneration as chief executive officer of Frankston City Council,” Mr Hovenden said in a statement. “I have made this decision in fairness to the council and ratepayers, as I believe I am adequately remunerated for my role.” The mayor Cr Colin Hampton said: “As CEO, Mr Hovenden is responsible for managing over 1000 staff and an operating budget of over $145 million which delivers the many services, infrastructure and facilities expected by our community. “Mr Hovenden is a huge asset to Frankston City and has worked tirelessly during his six years here to deliver the best possible outcomes for residents, businesses and visitors. “I thank him for his positive contributions to the local community and look forward to his ongoing leadership. “When benchmarking Mr Hovenden’s remuneration to that of other Victorian Council’s, this amount is considerably lower than his peers. His decision to not accept an increase is again a testament to his commitment to his job and the local community.”

Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden

Mr Hovenden said he “will continue to work hard in achieving the best possible outcomes for council on behalf of the Frankston City community.” The CEO’s current four-year contract expires in October 2019. Neighbouring Kingston Council CEO John Nevins received a 1.5 per cent pay rise last month after an annual performance review, taking his remuneration to $382,270 annually. In Frankston, Mr Hovenden and then mayor Cr Brian Cunial named themselves as complainants about “governance concerns” to the Local Government Investigations and Compliance Inspectorate when it was announced by the Labor state government the inspectorate had recommended a monitor be appointed at Frankston Council.

Councillor kicked out of meeting Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THIS month’s public council meeting saw a councillor ejected from the chamber by the mayor during a fiery disagreement. Mayor Cr Colin Hampton ordered Cr Kris Bolam from the council chamber late in the 3 April meeting as the pair duelled over a point of order and dissent against a mayoral ruling while chairing the meeting. Cr Hampton was criticising councillors who “talk the talk but don’t walk the walk” on keeping costs to ratepayers under control when Cr Bolam indicated he would raise a motion of dissent if the mayor persisted in criticising councillors who raised notices of motion at council meetings. The mayor immediately said he would order the councillor from the meeting if he lodged the motion of dissent. A debate ensued about who had been quicker on the draw to take action. Cr Bolam was forced to leave the chamber “for one hour” on the mayor’s orders. The meeting lasted for less than an hour afterwards. A motion of dissent against the

mayoral ruling subsequently raised by Cr Glenn Aitken after Cr Bolam’s exit was voted down 5-3. Crs Brian Cunial, Sandra Mayer, deputy mayor Cr Lillian O’Connor and Cr Hampton himself voted against the dissent motion. Crs Aitken, Quinn McCormack and Steve Toms voted to support the dissent motion. The dissent motion was the third such motion against a mayoral ruling while chairing a meeting this year. Only the March monthly meeting has not seen a dissent motion introduced at any stage of debate. “He was trying to interrupt my debate,” Cr Hampton told The Times last week when asked about the incident. Cr Bolam said: “It is disappointing, at least to me, to witness the

continued weaponisation of rules and procedures to seemingly disenfranchise certain democratically elected representatives from participating in the decision-making process”. The Labor state government late last year sent monitor Prue Digby to Frankston Council to observe council meetings and report back to Local Government Minister Marlene Kairouz about councillors’ behaviour. Ms Digby’s appointment term runs from 13 December until 30 June in 2019. The monitor will hand interim reports to the Minister’s department. The municipal monitor’s remuneration is fixed at $1200 a day and must be paid by Frankston Council ratepayers in accordance with the Local Government Act. Ms Digby is at council for twoand-a-half days on average a week.

Driver hits the gas

A DRUNK driver took out a gas meter and power pole during after careening out of control on Towerhill Road, Frankston at 5pm on Sunday 15 April. The road was cordoned off as CFA firefighters arrived to contain a gas leak. The power pole was snapped off at the base such was the impact of the car crash into the pole. The male driver, 39, later found to be over the alcohol limit to drive, was arrested after driving down a side street. Witnesses identified him as the driver of silver Mercedes sedan hastily parked which had smoke billowing from damaged parts. The was charged with several driving offences and was released pending court summons.

Police car rammed

A CAR with stolen plates rammed a police car at about 1.45am on Cranbourne Road, Frankston on Friday 13 April. The vehicle took off at high speed and evaded police who decided not to pursue since it would be too dangerous to public safety. The same vehicle, a grey silver Holden sedan, was involved in another brief chase when an unmarked police car tried to intercept the car at about 10am on Cranbourne Road on Friday 6 April. New offences introduced by the state government this month mean anyone who rams or tries to ram a police vehicle can face up to 20 years in jail.

Kids on board

A woman had her car impounded after she was allegedly caught drink driving with children in the car at Frankston in the afternoon on Friday

With Neil Walker

13 April. Frankston police saw a red Toyota sedan driving carelessly around a roundabout and followed the vehicle where it was intercepted on Hillcrest Road just after 5.30pm. A 44-year-old woman returned a positive preliminary breath test and officers found she had four children in the car. She was taken to a police station where she returned a BAC of 0.305 per cent. Her car was impounded at a cost of $1038. She is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving and other traffic related offences.

Chain pain for rider

Somerville Highway Patrol officers intercepted a motorbike in Brunel Road, Somerville at 2am on Monday 16 April because a blue tape altered its number plate. The rider was not keen to speak to police and raced off, hitting 148kph in a 60 kph zone. The motorbikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chain fell off and stopped the bike in its tracks.

Drawing readers to comics day A DAY offering free comics to promote the writing and art form that began in the US before making its way to Melbourne is now arriving in Frankston. The Comic Place will host Frankston’s first Free Comic Book Day at its Playne Street store on Saturday 5 May. Giveaways on the day will include some free issues of Australian and overseas published comics. Artists will produce on the spot sketches for a donation to charity and shop visitors can have photos taken with cosplayers for a charity donation. There will be free kids face painting and colouring activities in store. The Comic Place was opened in July last year, near Frankston Library, by self-published comics creator Jim Vinton.

He decided to open the shop after running stalls at markets to bring a dedicated comic book shop to the south east where it was needed and also to specialise in promoting and selling Australian content, often overlooked by other stores. “The Comic Place regularly hosts events aimed at encouraging people to produce their own comics and art, such as workshops and to meet local creators to discuss comics and engage other’s work such as creator meets and signings,” he said. Call Jim or Elizabeth Vinton on 9783 5975, all days except Tuesday, or email thecomicplac3@ gmail.com for more information or to arrange a photoshoot with cosplayers.

Saving lives around the world A SURGEON based at Frankston Hospital also leads another medical life — as a specialist medical officer in the Royal Australian Navy. Commander Ian Young has been deployed several times to war zones such as Afghanistan and Iraq alongside missions to Papua New Guinea. “It’s a bit of a convoluted life, but when I’m not deployed I work at Peninsula Health full time,” he said. “I do two clinics and two or three operating lists a week – a lot of shoulder work, hip and knee, a little bit of foot and ankle work and then trauma for adults and kids.” The trauma Commander Young sees at Frankston Hospital is a world away from the surgeries he has performed in war zones in the Middle East. “A lot of the clinical work is amputations, ballistic wounding and then there still can be standard trauma,” he said. He was first deployed to Afghanistan in 2010 and went back in twice in 2012, to work as a medical advisor with oversight of all Australian casualties and health personnel within the Middle East under Australian command, and then as an orthopaedic surgeon working with the US Navy which led the coalition hospital in Kandahar, Afghanistan. “In 2014 I was deployed as a resuscitation medical officer and orthopaedic surgeon to Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, initially on the ship and then with the Army in its field hospital. “Last year I was back in the Middle East but this time in Iraq for six months, as the Director of Clinical

Services and Orthopaedic Surgeon, at the ANZAC Hospital in Taji Iraq, which is north-east of Baghdad.” Commander Young first joined the Navy as a medical student in his native Canada before transferring to the Royal Australian Navy in 1998

after meeting his wife, who is from Melbourne. “Frankston was the first Australian hospital I worked in – when I transferred across I started working in the emergency department to see how the Australian medical system worked.” Commander Young admits it can sometimes be difficult juggling the competing priorities of the Navy and Peninsula Health, but says he enjoys the challenge. “There are only so many hours in the day and I’m married with four children ranging in age from 12 to 20 and have a dog,” he said. “I also try to keep involved in the community, I even played my first season of AFL Footy in the over 45s last year for Parkdale. “Mental health wise I have good support from family, the orthopaedic unit at Peninsula Health and excellent friends. I’ve been in the same neighbourhood since 2001 so I’ve known people for 16 years and that certainly helps.” He enjoys treating an array of patients at Peninsula Health, including veterans. “If I identify patients are veterans there’s always something we can chat about. Certainly everyone in the clinic knows my background – my hair cut gives me away.”

Council watch Visitors centre stays on foreshore, for sure A U-turn has seen councillors unanimously vote to overturn a previous decision to move the Frankston Visitor Information Centre from the foreshore to central Frankston. Councillors voted at the 3 April public council meeting to keep the visitors centre near Frankston pier after a majority of councillors first voted last October behind closed doors to move the centre away from its current site. Cr Sandra Mayer hailed the council u-turn as “a great outcome” at March’s meeting. “At the time that we originally made the decision it was in closed council, we didn’t have the luxury of being able to go and speak to the volunteers … we couldn’t consult, it was confidential,” she said. “It didn’t get ugly. Some things get ugly sometimes. I’m just so impressed with the way that the volunteers handled themselves on this. They just appealed to us in a very civilised way.” Cr Steve Toms said he had changed his mind and vote after volunteers who staff the visitors centre approached him “based on their true love and commitment to the visitor information centre service that they provide at the Frankston foreshore. “I’m very happy at this turnaround by council.” Cr Glenn Aitken praised the volunteers’ personal touch when speaking to visitors to Frankston to promote the area to tourists. He and the mayor Cr Colin Hampton will join council officers on a subcommittee looking at ways to improve

With Neil Walker

the centre’s services and councillors will consider any changes in May. The Frankston Visitor Information Centre was inducted into the Australian Tourism Awards national hall of fame in 2015 after three consecutive gold award wins. “The best visitor information centre in the country stays,” Cr Mayer said.

Eye on creeping costs for green walls

Council will consider installing green walls, also known as vertical gardens, throughout central Frankston but only after finalising how much the initiative will cost ratepayers. The state government is already working with council to install a green wall in Young Street as part of the Frankston train station redevelopment project and councillors support more green walls in principle although some are concerned about the expense of green walls. A green wall at the Civic Centre will be scoped before a final decision is made to push ahead with the project. “Greening our city … is a wonderful thing that we need to do,” Cr Steve Toms said. Crs Kris Bolam and Glenn Aitken expressed surprised at a mooted $54,000 cost for one wall at the civic centre and said they believed a green wall could be installed for much less money. Council officers will now report back to councillors about specific costs for the green wall before its installation. Councillors will make a final decision at a future council meeting upon receipt of the report.

Cover up or clear out, parent’s call to nudists Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A MT ELIZA beachgoer has had enough of nudists on family beaches away from designated “clothes-optional” areas. Craig Ferris wants Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to draw a line in the sand and fine those breaking the rules. Mr Ferris, a policeman who regularly takes his wife and two young daughters to the southern end of Moondah beach, said he had “absolutely no issue with those who want to get back to nature and do their thing”. But, he says, he takes exception to the “seemingly blase attitude being taken by … those of the naturalist persuasion (sic) who are now venturing around the corner to the southern end of Moondah beach which is completely outside the designated area” and which is signed-posted by the council. Mr Ferris said clothes-optional bathing had “become more prevalent throughout the summer months and is now stretching well into autumn” near the end of Osprey Avenue. “As a concerned parent and proud citizen of Mt Eliza, it pains me to see what is happening to this beautiful family oriented beach,” he stated in a letter to the shire. “In speaking with numerous other parents of school-aged children I find my concerns are justified and experiences not unique.” He said a “typical example” occurred while he was walking his dog and came across several

nudists frolicking toward the southern end near the Ansett estate beach house, about 300 metres from the designated area. “I noticed about six persons hiding in the bushes at the back of the beach in various locations – some committing lewd acts,” he said. Mr Ferris said he called the police and then the shire to “make an official complaint and request actioning with your by-laws officers”. He said the council brushed off the complaint leaving him with the impression “there was supposedly nothing they could do”. “As a current serving member of Victoria Po-

lice I am, of course, well aware of the offences being committed here. However, I feel a unilateral approach needs to be taken with full council involvement to address this festering problem.” Mr Ferris said he no longer allows his children to visit that part of the beach “not only because of the questions it raises but [because of] their exposure to the seedy atmosphere and overt nudity”. “I implore you councillors to take ownership of this issue on behalf of your many disgruntled constituents and pursue a swift course of action to rectify this ongoing issue.”

Murphy back for second election fight IT’S on. Again. Labor has chosen its candidate to contest the seat of Dunkley at the federal election when it is called. Peta Murphy, a lawyer, will again face off against Liberal MP Chris Crewther who won the seat by a slim margin in 2016 after previous Liberal Party incumbent Bruce Billson retired from politics. “I’m excited and privileged to be Labor’s candidate for Dunkley again, and to continue to advocate for our community,” Ms Murphy said. “I’ll be campaigning for investment in the people and infrastructure of Dunkley, which we sorely need and haven’t had from the Liberal government.” Mr Crewther faces a fight to retain the seat for the Liberals with proposed electorate boundary changes by the Australian Electoral Commission set to lose Mornington in its south and gain Carrum Downs, Sandhurst and Skye to the north from the Isaacs electorate (“Electoral ground moves for MPs”, The Times 9/4/18). ABC election analyst and numbers cruncher Antony Green noted Dunkley would change from being a marginal Liberal seat to a being a Labor seat with a margin of about 1 per cent, based on votes at the 2016 federal election. Neil Walker Battlelines: Peta Murphy is aiming to win Dunkley for Labor as part of a nationwide bid to return the party including Tanya Plibersek, front, to government at the next federal election.

The charity says this year’s survey will “delve deeper” into issues around social media, alcohol and drugs, barriers to employment and how young people feel about their community. Mission Australia hopes more than 30,000 young people throughout Australia will complete the survey before the end of July. Last year there were 4783 respondents in Victoria out of 24,000 nationally. “The youth survey provides an important snapshot of young Australians and offers many important insights. It equips organisations like Mission Australia with current evidence on how young people are faring so we can advocate on their behalf for the services and broader policy changes that they need,” Mission Australia CEO James Toomey said. He said the top three issues identified last year by young people were mental health, alcohol and drugs and equity and discrimination, with mental health emerging as the top concern for the first time in the 16-year history of reporting. To take part in the survey, go to missionaustralia.com.au/youthsurvey. The survey closes 31 July with results to be released in late November.

Nearly all the projects proposed to use the port facilities of Western Port run into the difficulty that it is the drowned delta of a river, not a deep harbour. The only locations deep enough for large ships are over the drowned riverbed and this is very limited (“Parties unite over power plan” The News 17/4/18). Many of the proposals centre around enlarging the deep water area. This enlargement requires massive dredging that will destroy the ecology of Western Port. The proposal for Kawasaki’s hydrogen liquefaction and export envisages a lengthy time to pump the ship’s containers full of the liquid hydrogen. I have been told that it includes some four kilometres of wharves north of Long Island along the mangrove shore towards Yaringa Boat Harbour. This is to provide for the number of vessels needed and the lengthy time to simultaneously fill them. A solution to the transfer problem is needed. Since the project is expected to be long term it would make sense for special vessels to be built. Possibly in the form of tugs dragging a large immersed bag behind full of hydrogen. This is not likely because of the need to keep the hydrogen cool and at a considerable pressure. If the vessels carry a large specialised container that can be offloaded and exchanged for a filled container the ship turnaround could be only a few hours. The Long Island wharf, suitably modified, might be sufficient to provide the necessary throughput. The multiple containers, and not waiting ships, would then be lined up for filling on a land area certainly less than the proposed four kilometre long wharf. Henry Broadbent, Somers

Ridiculous process The proposal by a consortium led by Kawasaki Heavy Industries to convert our brown coal into clean hydrogen fuel for Japan (“Parties unite over power”, The News, 17/4/18) has interesting facets. Before serious production of the converted coal begins, they must solve the problem of carbon capture and storage underground (CCS). For the

pilot project they will release the carbon dioxide and poisonous gases into Victoria’s atmosphere and will pay a “carbon offset” fee (tax). We have already promised to give them $100 million. If the CCS problem is never solved, as is likely, will they abandon the half billion dollar plant or continue production, pay the tax, and spew “filthy carbon and poisons” into our air forever, which was the reason to close Hazelwood power station. If the CCS problem is solved, then why can’t we again generate cheap, reliable, simple, quality electricity from our dirt-cheap brown coal, and capture and dispose of the gases in underground storage? Why does Japan want hydrogen for fuel? Is it the realisation that electric cars, powered by batteries, are a flop? Converting coal to hydrogen with all the processes involved, freezing the gas to liquid, storing, compressing, shipping, distributing the stuff, then using it as a fuel is the most ridiculous and inefficient process that I have ever heard of. Finally, hydrogen was used early last century: in the Zeppelin airships. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

If it’s motorised blinds you want, the ZeroGravityTM technology can be easily motorised. Using spring technology that has been perfectly balanced, a small capacity DC motor can lift a blind of almost any size. Batteries will last over 10 times longer (as tested by Blindware) since the motor is doing almost no work to lift the blind when used in conjunction with ZeroGravityTM technology.

17 years (2001) since VicRoads acknowledged that the traffic noise needs attention and some form of noise barriers. Further to this is the fact that the freeway was listed as priority one and five in the retrofitting proposal back in 2008. Increased traffic is causing a lack of sleep and health issues for residents living next to the freeway, with traffic noise now startng at 4am every day. It is time for action to address this imbalance and political non-action. The state government acknowledges there is traffic congestion by announcing a four lane freeway extension to Mordialloc. It can also announce state of the art sound barriers for the inner-west for people walking their dogs and playing sport who are affected by traffic noise. So much for caring for the people of the Mornington Peninsula. Enough is enough, it is time for action. An open forum has been called for Wednesday 30 May at the Rosebud Country Club to organise protest action. Wayne Ashely, Rosebud

Party of limitations No one, not even me, would have thought that the banking industry was a bad as is coming out in the Royal Banking Commission. Too bad no one will go to jail.

Remember which political party did everything in its power to stop it from happening? Its members are the same people who are standing in the way of a national corruption and ethics watchdog. It is also the same party trying to limit freedom of speech for charities and advocacy groups. Do I spot a trajectory here? Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Personalities plus Woe is us. We are represented statewide by the Premier Daniel Andrews doing a fine job (little if any opposition from Matthew Guy and neverheard-of David Morris) until he, Danny, gifted $500 million to the AFL for Etihad and the MCG improvements, mumbling something along cultural lines. Federally, our Health Minister Greg Hunt, no doubt eyes on the top job with the other suggestions being (after PM Malcolm’s departure) at best a hidden far right enthusiast (Dutton) or Morrison, highly unlikely to attract a change in the personality polls. Finally we have Labor’s Billy Shorten, woodenly uninspiring and at this time no idea of who [will strand to] represent Labor federally for Rye. Which leaves me with a certainty (hope forever springing eternally): Collingwood for the top eight, and end of season finals. Cliff Ellen, Rye

End live exports I cannot believe that Australia is a participant in the live animal export trade. Our animals are suffering in horrific conditions and it is time to take a stand against the people in the Middle East and say that “we will no longer be a participant in this display of unacceptable live export trade”. These animals deserve out protection and the Australian government must make a decision to ban the live export trade. We can re-open abattoirs and humanely kills sheep the Muslim way. To do nothing to stop the live export trade of sheep in appalling conditions is just accepting and being part of a cruel bad behaviour. Brooke Martin, McCrae

1 in 4 people on the Mornington Peninsula will be affected by cancer. Chances are, it will be you or someone you love. www.takeabreakforcancer.org.au Take a Break for Cancer this May and June to support your local cancer services at Frankston and Rosebud Hospitals. Get involved today: • Host a fundraiser • Make a donation • Join events across the Peninsula

Close to home ‘chemo’ a comfort MARGARET Wood was caravanning around Queensland when she experienced sharp pains on the right side of her stomach. “I thought it must be my appendix, I better go to the hospital,” said Margaret. “That’s when I found out I had bowel cancer and spots on my lungs and liver.” One month later, she was back in Victoria having life-saving surgery at Frankston Hospital. “They removed part of my bowel and I spent 16 days in hospital recovering before starting chemotherapy.” The Rosebud resident of 23 years was relieved to be able to have chemotherapy close to home at Rosebud Hospital. Demand continues to grow for our chemotherapy service, which is why Peninsula Health is asking the community to Take a Break for Cancer and raise funds to expand cancer services on the Peninsula. This will ensure more people like Margaret have access to fast diagnosis, fast treatment, and the care and support they need, close to home. “Every three weeks I had intravenous chemotherapy – however that was making me terribly

sick.” “I’m now doing this new chemo with the bottles, where I wear that around my neck at home for 48 hours. I come in to the Chemotherapy Unit twice a week for blood tests and to make sure everything is working.” The chemotherapy and surgery have worked so well that Margaret recently received some very good news from her oncologist. “I had a CT scan and the shadows on my liver are still there but they’re like empty shells, so the cancer is gone. The spots on my lung were fairly insignificant and they’re gone as well.” The great-grandmother is encouraging others to get behind Take a Break for Cancer. “It’s good to do whatever you can to support the hospital – whether it’s volunteering or making a donation to help expand the cancer services here. It is such a big saving to a lot of people to have the care they need close to home.” Take a Break for Cancer today by hosting your own fundraising event or making a donation online. http://www.peninsulahealth.org.au/takeabreak

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Flinders election campaign kicks off Compiled by Brodie Cowburn CAPTAIN S. M. Bruce, M.C., Croix de Guerre, the selected Nationalist candidate for the Flinders seat, opened his campaign in the Dandenong town hall last night, and was given an enthusiastic reception by a large crowd of electors. Cr. R. Colenso, president of the shire, occupied the chair. The Candidate at the outset congratulated the electors of Flinders upon the great honor which had been conferred upon their late representative, Sir William Irvine, in being selected to fill the post of Chief Justice of Victoria. He proposed to support the present Government, because that Ministry was appointed by an overwhelming vote of the people with an imperative mandate to carry on the war by supporting the mother country and her Allies, and to preserve the integrity of the Empire. This great mandate, he believed, the Government had honestly tried to carry out. He desired to see a stronger lead given to the country by the Government, and more strenuous efforts made to see that Australia played the great part allotted to her in the present world struggle. *** WORD has been received by the Frankston police that five lads escaped from the training farm at Tortoise Head Island on the night of Wednesday last. It is thought that they escaped by means of the motor boat used by the authorities, and ended in the vicinity of Stony Point.

Warrants have been issued for the arrest of the escapees whose names and ages are as follows: Percy Clinton Burnett, 16 years; Henry Edward Smith, 16 years, Wm Herbert Selby, 17 years ; Clarence Hicks, 17 years; Wm Leonard Robinson, 16 years. *** THE friends of Mr George Vagg, who for many years was a prominent player of the Frankston football team, will regret to learn of the death of his mother, which occurred at Frankston on Saturday last. The body was interred in the Frankston cemetery on Sunday, a large number of friends attending to pay their last respects. *** AT the Wattle club’s euchre party and dance held on Tuesday evening, the prizes for the euchre tournament were won by Mrs. W. Gregory and Mr W. W. Young. A dance for which. Mr Meekin supplied the music was subsequently held and was thoroughly enjoyed. *** THE Committee of the Repatriation Fund Concert and Sports acknowledge with sincere thanks the following donations in kind which were raffled or auctioned at the concert in the evening: Messrs Brunton’s Flour Mills, 1 bag of flour 150lbs ; Messrs Swallow and Ariell, 1 tin of Biscuits ; Messrs Griffiths Bros., 1 tin of tea ; Messrs Allen & Co., per Mr J. Burroughs Esq. ; 2 costly boxes of sweets ; Master Jim Masterton, “Rubra”, Frankston, two handsome gold medals.

*** ON Friday next, May 3rd, the Wattle Club will hold a grand poster ball in the Frankston Mechanics. Good prizes are offered for the best poster costume and a string band has been engaged. *** A PRELIMINARY meeting of those interested in the forming a branch of the Victorian Protestant Federation at Frankston will be held on Monday next, 29th April, at 8 p.m. in the Mechanics institute. *** A DEPUTATION consisting of representatives of 25 shires, which recently held a conference to consider the question of excessive motor traffic on country roads, waited on the Minister of Public Works (Mr Robinson) on Wednesday, and presented to him the following resolution, previously agreed to by the conference: That the Country Roads Act be amended to provide— (a) The Country Roads Board shall determine the proportion of motor to ordinary traffic on all declared main roads where extraordinary maintenance charges are incurred by reason of motor traffic; (b) that the fund from motor fees be applied to the construction and maintenance of declared main roads for the benefit of motor traffic, and in accordance with the results obtained ; (c) that motor fees should be increased to cover the road charges due to motor traffic; (d) that the maximum speed of motor vehicles be a rate of 25 miles an hour.

The Frankston and Hastings Shire was represented by the President (Cr W. J. Oates) and Cr Hodgins; the Engineer (Mr Sambell) and the Secretary (Mr J. E. Jones) were also present. *** THE Red Cross Society held a concert in the Mechanics Institute here last Saturday evening when there was a large attendance, Cr Murray, president of the Red Cross Society acted as chairman. A party of visitors from Melbourne gave some splendid items which were very enjoyable. These artists gave their services free and their kindness was very much appreciated Sgt. Whidburn from Langwarrin Military Camp was present and he is an artist that is always welcomed at Somerville, his items being appreciated and enjoyed. *** SOMERVILLE’S Mr G. O. Webb’s brick works have changed hands and the new owners have commenced work and have employed quite a number of workers. *** HEAVY rain fell in Somerville Thursday afternoon and it was very badly needed by the farmers and orchardists. Many householders were carting water for domestic purposes. *** DR Griffeth of Somerville who received an injury to his arm some time ago as the result of a fall from his horse is well on the way to recovery although the injured member still causes him a little inconvenience. ***

“THE stink pot of Frankston” was how Cr W. J. Oates described Kananook Creek, when asking the Minister of Public Works on Thursday to effect some improvements to the present state of the creek. Cr Hodgins and Messrs J. D. Jennings and J. McComb were also present to urge the Minister to do something so that the natural flow of the creek might be restored. Cr Oates said that at present the creek was in a bad state, and most unhealthy, and as the Government had diverted the water some time ago, it was “up to them” to restore the original flow. Mr J. D. Jennings submitted a plan as prepared by Mr T. McComb by which it was thought the creek could be kept clean. The Minister promised to look into the matter but thought that there was not much money involved to able do anything at present. *** WRINKLES! NATURE does not intend any woman to have the charm of her youthful appearance stolen away, by those lines which care and illhealth so surely mark upon her face. Our Wrinkle Remover holds the secret to restore that fresh and youthful appearance by removing all traces of Wrinkles. Self treatment Effectiveness Guaranteed. Price 5/6. Post Free. Full instructions enclosed. PACIFIC DRUG CO. Molesworth Chambers. Little Collins Street, Melbourne. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 27 April 1918

Predictions look spot on early DIVISION ONE

By Toe Punt IT’S early days in MPNFL Division One football but it’s hard not to think all is going as predicted in season 2018. Frankston YCW is a game clear on top of Sorrento after playing them in round one, leaving the Sharks second and Edi-Asp third. The Eagles just need to be more mindful of their player points and how that lines up for the remainder of the season. The talent is certainly there. They will finish with the double chance. The ‘logjam’ begins from Pines downwards. Now let’s have a look at Saturday’s football. Who would have thought that Sorrento would beat Bonbeach by more than ten goals on Saturday? After quarter-time Bonbeach booted just one goal while Sorrento packed on 13.10 to win 15.10 (100) 4.15 (39). It was a mauling James Hallahan, Chad Harris did as they liked, Chris Dawes booted three goals and Nick Marston ran the ball off half-back at will. Bonbeach simply lacked leg speed. Until they can get some of that they will continue to be part of the ‘logjam’. As expected Pines progressively worked over Rosebud after a tough first quarter. Scores were locked at 26 points a piece at quarter-time before the pythons blew Rosebud away in the second quarter booting six goals to zip to have the match locked away at the major interval. The Pythons extended that lead at every change, eventually winning 15.9 (99) to 6.13 (49). Aaron Edwards was superb with five goals, Luke Potts dominated through the middle and Jack Fisher played his best game of the year in defence. Greg Bentley and Fraser Hustwaite were the best for the Buds. Edithvale-Aspendale picked up the all-important four points against Seaford with its senior and junior stars playing a major part in the win. The Dales led from start to finish in an uninspiring game of football eventually winning 12.11 (83) to 9.11 (65). Liam Harris and Michael Meehan were named EdiAsp’s best players, while for Seaford Matt Terich and Dean Williamson were named their best, as was Luke Edmondson in his first game this season. At the time of going to print, in perfect conditions at Alexandra Park in Mornington, Mt Eliza led Mornington by one goal, 9.3 (57) to 8.3 (51).

Tigers roar from the top DIVISION TWO

By Toe Punt DROMANA remains a game clear on top of the MPNFL Division Two ladder after beating Karingal in the match of the day on Saturday. Just five points separated the sides at three-quarter time after Dromana had opened-up a 40-point half-time break. The Tigers booted six goals straight to four behinds in the second term. Karingal’s third quarter was equally as damaging, booting 6.2 to three behinds to drag the margin back to five points at the final change. The game was up for grabs, and with the home crowd at the Pier Street oval right behind it, Dromana was able to boot four goals to one in the last quarter to record a 15.9 (99) to 10.11 (71) victory. Ethan Johnstone was the best player on the field with four goals while Billy Quigley was also outstanding for the winners. Andrew Mathers made it two excellent games on the trot for the Bulls while Andrew Less and Grant Goodall were also solid. Langwarrin dominated the final quarter against Pearcedale on Satur-

day and still came up short, losing by four points. The Kangas trailed by 24 points at three-quarter time before coming out after the break and ramming on four majors to draw level. Pearcedale then dominated play without being able to capitalise on the scoreboard, eventually hanging on to win 10.18 (78) to 11.8 (74). It would be unfair to say that Langwarrin was stiff to lose. Pearcedale was the best team all afternoon. Rye once again made it a game of two halves, this time too slow in the opening half and then dominant in the second half against Crib Point. The Demons led by 11 points at half-time before going on to win by 40 points, 8.16 (64) to 3.10 (28). Adam Kirkwood and Tyrren Head raised the bar for the Demons in the second hour and Jai Lloyd and Leigh Morse took their game to another level to help guide the Tigers to victory. Ethan Smith was superb for the Pies while Ned Shannon and Brad Davidson were also in the seat. In the highest-scoring game of the season so far, Red Hill did a job on Tyabb, winning by 72 points.

The Hillmen had a five goals to one first term before raising that to 11 to two in the second. The Yabbies did have a crack in the third with Liam Rogan, Brendan Doyle and Aaron Turner lifting their work rate. That couldn’t be maintained in the last. Ben Hughes booted five for the Hillmen to continue to lead the league goal kicking. Steve Marchetti also hit the scoreboard on multiple occasions. Devon Meadows held off a late surge from Somerville to win 15.14 (104) to 12.18 (90). Stefan Baumgartner, Michael Theodoridis with six goals and Aaron Murray with four goals were almost the difference between the sides winning and losing. In a high scoring first quarter, the Panthers got themselves in front and were able to maintain that consistency throughout, eventually winning by 14 points. Levi Hughes played his best game for his new club (crossed from Seaford) while Ben Sedgewick and Kane McKenzie were also solid.

Three goals in eight minutes for Nicholes SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie CALEB Nicholes made sure of Skye United’s first win of the season with an eight-minute goal blitz against Dingley Stars at Skye Recreation Reserve on Saturday. The veteran striker’s quickfire hattrick underpinned Skye’s 4-1 win and ignited the club’s push up the State 3 South-East ladder. The first half was a cagey affair with Skye dominating most of the possession and it was rewarded when Mitch Blake pounced in the box and finished well to give the hosts a half-time lead. Nicholes opened his account two minutes into the second half when he tapped in from close range following Daniel Attard’s strike. In the 52nd minute, a long ball from Saj Sugrim caught out the Dingley defence and Nicholes finished well then the big man completed his hat-trick in the 55th minute when he headed Jason Nowakowksi’s cross in off the post. Dingley’s sole response came following a corner in the 60th minute when Teon Haywood found the back of the net after Skye failed to clear. In State 1 South-East Mornington had to settle for a 1-1 away draw with St Kilda on Saturday. Andre Bennett opened the scoring for Mornington in the 47th minute with a strike that took an awkward bounce and beat St Kilda keeper Remy ReyLescure. But a handling error from goalkeeper Liam Little allowed Darragh Ryan to level from long range in the 73rd minute. The reserves match was abandoned after an ugly melee. Mornington continued its excellent FFA Cup run with a 2-0 win over NPL2 outfit Brunswick City at Comets Stadium last Wednesday night which takes Adam Jamieson’s men into round 6 of the Australia-wide competition. Keegan Ziada opened the scoring in the 7th minute with a clinical first-time finish following a fine Sam Reeves ball into the near post and when Curtis Hutson was felled inside the area in the 27th minute Sammy Orritt converted from the spot. Striker Max Etheridge has returned to England for family reasons. In State 2 South-East it was the late, late show for Frankston Pines as they defeated Old Scotch 1-0 at Monterey Reserve on Saturday. A left-foot volley from CJ Hodgson in injury time settled the issue and pushed Paul Williams’ side into the top half of the table with a game in hand.

The 2018 ambitions of Peninsula Strikers took a hit on Saturday night at Egan Lee Reserve when they went down 4-1 to Knox City. The visitors’ prospects weren’t helped when star striker Femi Orenuga suffered a hamstring injury in the 22nd minute and was forced off. The home team dominated the first half and it was game over at the interval with Knox leading 4-0. Knox midfielder Grant Lane opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a well-struck volley from the right of the area. Jordan Avraham increased the lead in the 37th minute with a firm low strike from the right of the box and two Matthew Hames goals in the final six minutes of the half sealed Strikers’ fate. Eight minutes from time a mistake by Knox keeper Enes Unal allowed Strikers’ midfielder Ryan Wilson to complete the scoreline. Strikers are believed to be in talks with a central defender and are hopeful of reaching agreement this week. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United’s horror run in State 3 South-East continued on Saturday with

a 5-0 away loss to Whitehorse United. Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse for Paul Pinheiro’s men the under-siege coach was forced to put Matt Morris-Thomas on the bench due to illness and lost star striker Dylan Waugh to a straight red card in the 11th minute. Waugh had fashioned the best two chances of the opening exchanges before having his shirt grabbed by a defender and in swinging his arm back to free himself struck his opponent in the face. Seven minutes later a handling error from Seaford keeper Ugur Erdem led to a Jason Alizzi own goal and a low strike from Nhan Than in the 25th minute made it 2-0. Josh Gordon made it 3-0 in the 64th minute and a back post header from unmarked Jonathan Fulfaro made it 4-0 in the 78th minute. Paul Tonis ended the rout in the final minute of normal time. In State 4 South Ben Meiklem and Travis Ernsdoerfer both hit doubles in Baxter’s 4-1 home win over Noble Park last weekend. A superb Meiklem run down the left

in the 14th minute ended with a cutback to Ernsdoerfer whose low strike from 10 metres opened the scoring. Ernsdoerfer returned the favour 10 minutes later and Meiklem made it 2-0. Noble Park was much more adventurous in the second half and Alessandro Stazio scored from close range to make it 2-1. Ernsdoerfer sent in a low cross in the 64th minute which Meiklem struck against the post before hitting the rebound against the other post and in to make it 3-1. In the 85th minute, the pair combined yet again as Ersndoerfer completed his brace. In State 5 South news referee Benji Batten took centre stage as Somerville Eagles lost 3-1 away to Old Mentonians on Saturday. Somerville led at half-time from a Dave Greening goal but the home side struck on the break in the 55th minute through James Bingham to make it 1-1. Referee Batten had Somerville’s bench and supporters dismayed when fouls on Louis Griffiths and Greening only resulted in yellow cards with Greening hitting the bar from the free-

kick awarded after he was brought down when clean through. Poor defending from a corner in the 76th minute allowed Old Mentonians’ James Hawkes to bundle the ball home from point-blank range and Jacob Klein put the game out of the Eagles’ reach with a breakaway goal in the 88th minute. In NPL2 East news Langwarrin lost 1-0 to Eastern Lions at Lawton Park on Saturday. The decisive moment came in the first minute of the second half when Lions’ striker Cameron Neales took advantage of Langy’s inability to deal with a set piece on the right and his side-foot volley gave Langy keeper Josh Dorron no chance. Langwarrin’s under-20s went down 1-0 courtesy of a spectacular longrange strike from Robel Wondimu in the first half. Five Langwarrin players have been selected in FFV’s Talent Identification and Development Centre squads from which the state underage squads are selected for the annual national championships. The players selected are defender Nelson Powell and midfielder Cooper Leopold (under 13s), striker Altan Cevik (under 14s), midfielder Gavin O’Reilly (under 15s) and goalkeeper Colby Jones (under 18s). Meanwhile, Southern United remains anchored to the foot of the NPLW ladder after going down 13-1 to South Melbourne at Monterey Reserve on Sunday, Southern’s goal coming from Olivia Groves who converted a firsthalf penalty. Southern’s under-12s won 4-2 with goals from Emilia Ingles (2), Jasmine Smith and Rhiannon Kelleher, the table-topping under-14s beat South Melbourne 4-1 with goals from Rhys McKenna (2), Taylah Hennekam and Emily Ryan, the under-16s lost 4-0 while the under-19s lost 7-0. Here are next weekend’s games: FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Casey Comets v Mornington (Comets Stadium). SATURDAY 3pm: Langwarrin v Moreland Zebras (Lawton Park), Frankston Pines v Brandon Park (Monterey Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Berwick City (Centenary Park), Seaford Utd v Middle Park (North Seaford Reserve), Noble Park Utd v Skye Utd (Parkfield Reserve), Endeavour Utd v Baxter (Reema Reserve), Somerville Eagles v Lyndale Utd (Tyabb Central Recreation Reserve).

Top guns fire at Commonwealth Games By Ben Triandafillou FRANKSTON Australia Clay Target Club shooters James Bolding and Laetisha Scanlan returned to Melbourne last week after representing Australia at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games. Bolding, of Parkdale, competed at his first Commonwealth Games and finished in ninth place in the Men’s Skeet, while Scanlan celebrated her 28th birthday with back-to-back gold medals in the Women’s Trap in a deja vu-style finish. Bolding completed his event on Monday 9 April and stayed to support Scanlan who, just like at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games four years ago, had to face a sudden-death shoot-off against New Zealand’s Natalie Rooney to make the final on the Saturday. After finishing in tied sixth position, Scanlan had to shoot for her spot in the final as one miss of the 100kph flying disk would cost her her chance at a gold medal. Scanlan said she wasn’t as nervous as what she thought because she had experienced the pressure before at Glasgow. “I didn’t even think I’d make the finals after the third round but my day was like a roller coaster and was full of highs and lows,” Scanlan said. “I knew she (Rooney) was a fantastic

shooter as she was a silver medallist at the Rio Olympics and I knew she was going to be hard to beat but because I had been through it before I took with me a bit of confidence.” Rooney was the first to make an error and Scanlan capitalised on the eighth target to secure her spot in the final. From there on Scanlan never looked in doubt through the finals despite missing twice in her last five shots to give Northern Ireland’s silver medallist Kirsty Barr an opening. It came down to Scanlan’s final shot of the day to claim the gold medal and she duly saluted before an unscripted rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ was blared from the crowd. “Knowing all of my family and friends, which ended up being about 35 of them, were there was such an amazing feeling,” Scanlan said. “I was well aware that I had a two target lead heading into the last five [shots] and all I had to do was hit one. I then missed a couple of shots and finally landed the last one which was crazy when I hit it. “There was so much relief, excitement and tears after all of that, and to top it off it was my birthday so it was a huge roller coaster ride.”

Sides set for new season By Ben Triandafillou THE Victorian Netball League season gets underway on Sunday 29 April with the Peninsula Waves and Southern Saints both looking to improve on their mid-table finishes from last year’s VNL Championships. Both the Waves and the Saints will head into their season openers at the State Netball and Hockey Centre, Parkville with a relatively new look, with the Waves recruiting five new players to their side and the Saints missing a number of players due to injury. Peninsula Waves finished their 2017 season in seventh place but championship coach Jess Whitfort is confident they can rise up the ladder after landing four new attacking players to their line-up. “Our defence was quite strong last season so it’s pretty similar again this year but we’ve recruited a lot at our goal end,” Whitfort said. Joining the Peninsula Waves are: Melbourne Vixen’s training partner, Rahni Samason at goal shooter; Sacha Mcdonald coming from Ballarat to play at goal attack; former Southern Saints netballer Kate Oman at wing attack; South East Football Netball League best and fairest winner Tara Cecil at goal defence; and former Peninsula Waves netballer Sharni Lamb-

den returning after a year away. Whitfort said the netballers preseason has been “amazing” and that they are probably “the best prepared they’ve been heading into a season”. “They’re absolutely ready to go, we’ve had positive results from the pre-season tests and now hopefully all the hard work and planning will pay off,” Whitfort said. The Southern Saints have been plagued with injuries throughout their midfield with a number of players unlikely to return this season, including club captain Ally Salter who is out with an ACL injury. Southern Saints head coach Jade Heinrich said she is still feeling good about heading into the season but is wary about the change in dynamics. “We’ve really been unlucky with the number of injuries that we’ve suffered,” she said. “It does open up the opportunity for the players coming up so we’ve worked hard to make sure they feel settled in the side. “We don’t really know what Boroondara will be like this season but I’m hoping for a really high quality and competitive game to open the season.” The Southern Saints will face Boroondara Express at 1.50pm with the Peninsula Waves on court at 3.10pm against Hawks Netball.

FATHER and son skaters Kevin and Harry Geary strapped on the green and gold to represent Australia at the Oceania Speed Skating Championships on Saturday 31 March. Kevin and his 12-year-old son Harry reached speeds of up to 40kph to claim a total of 10 medals at the international competition in New Zealand. Harry was one of the youngest competitors for Australia and competed against boys of up to two years older than him in the Cadet Boys division (under-14s). Skating over distances ranging from 300m to 21km, Harry shined over the long trips and landed two bronze medals in the 1km final and 10km elimination, as well as a silver medal with the Australian Cadet Boys relay team.

Harry’s father, Kevin Geary, said it’s not uncommon for skaters to compete over such varied distances. “Some skaters specialise in certain areas such as sprinters but even at the world level sprinters are still expected to compete over longer distances and in the marathons,” he said. “Harry can be a tad slow off the start but he tends to excel over the middle to long distance events.” “It was a fantastic experience and a steep learning curve for him (Harry) but he now knows what he needs to do in preparation for these events. “Now he just needs to take what he’s learnt on board for next year’s Oceania’s and he might be able to push for gold.” Kevin competed for Australia in the

Masters category and claimed silver medals in every event he contested. He competed in the 300m time trial, 500m final, 1km final, 3km final, 5km point’s event, 42km marathon and the 3km Masters and Veterans relay. Kevin said that while there are some similarities between speed skating and running, it’s actually cycling that draws the most comparisons. “It’s pretty gruelling but you use the wind barrier when you’re at the back of the pack to conserve energy like you would if you were competing in the Tour de France,” he said. “It’s quite strategic as you have the break-away groups as you do in cycling and then the pack needs to time their runs to try and chase them down.

Speed skaters rack up international medals

PAGE 28

Frankston Times 23 April 2018

Kevin said that speed skating is a “fantastic growing sport” in Australia at the moment with the sport also recently being accepted into the Junior Olympics. “We originally had four skaters competing at our ‘Sk8 House’ and we have grown significantly in the past couple of years to now having 20 skaters racing regularly. “The level of skating has obviously improved as well as more people start to get involved in the sport. “With speed skating joining the Junior Olympics in four years’ time, it gives Harry a good goal to work towards over the next few years.” Ben Triandafillou
