Gymnastics ‘on the outer’

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A COMMUNITY sporting club fears gymnastics is being frozen out of a planned $14 million tennis centre and sports hub at Centenary Park. An online petition is calling on Frankston Council to honour a pledge made last year to include a dedicated gymnastics area and programs at a purpose-built complex at McClelland Drive planned to be complete by 2019. Bayside Gymnastics Club vice-president Mel Newham posted a change.org petition online last week urging council not to exclude gymnastics from the sports centre. The petition says council representatives attended the club’s annual general meeting last October and “very proudly announced” that Bayside Gymnastics would be moving to Centenary Park in 2019. “It turns out that after an election, you no longer need to gather votes so you can change your mind and disappoint hundreds of families,” the petition says. “Recent events indicate that Bayside Gymnastics Club is being excluded from the Centenary Park discussions … where is the transparency? Where is the discussion?”. It is understood that the gymnastics club is not being kept updated about progress on the project. Council has been talking to the Frankston Tennis Club about a move to a new sports complex since the club, founded in 1891, will need to relocate when Frankston Hospital expands and adds more buildings. Council floated the idea of a multi-sports complex at Centenary Park to house tennis courts and a gymnastics area. A partnership with Centenary Park Golf

Club fell through in January after the golf club decided not to be part of the planned sports complex. Bayside Gymnastics uses a gym at Langwarrin Park Primary School for its programs and equipment has to be reassembled for each gymnastics session. Club president Joyce Stocker said the gymnastics club had doubled its member numbers from about 200 to more than 400 in the past year and is “bursting at the seams” at times at the school. “We do have concerns that gymnastics’ participation at Centenary Park is under threat,” Ms Stocker said. “Centenary Park is still an option but there’s a question mark over how it will proceed. Council’s preference may be to just consider tennis at that location.” The club president hopes council can “find a place for us in Centenary Park”. “We are also open to other options if that fails because ultimately our aim is to get our members’ a new venue.” Ms Stocker said council has not invested “any significant amount” of ratepayers’ money back into gymnastics, especially popular with girls, in the past decade. Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial in January said talks had been “very constructive, with all parties committed to move forward” in a statement. “It was agreed to continue to pursue the Centenary Park project, recognising that additional work will be needed on the management model and financial arrangements with the clubs and the peak bodies, Tennis Victoria and Gymnastics Victoria.” The mayor did not respond to questions on Friday asking about the progress of the Centenary Park project and whether councillors have been briefed on the current situation

Heater blamed for Centrelink fire Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A FIRE at the Centrelink offices in Frankston last week was probably caused by a portable heater igniting flammable material, firefighters say. The Frankston brigade responded to an alarm and “multiple calls” at 5.25pm, Tuesday (18 April), supported by CFA units from Patterson River, Mt Eliza, Mornington, Langwarrin and Baxter. The blaze at the Frankston Service Centre on the corner of Young and Davey streets, which provides Centrelink and Medicare services, pushed out windows on the Young St side. Frankston leading firefighter Stuart Powles said firefighters from 11 trucks fought the blaze which had “multiple seats of fire”. He said a 20 by 20 metres office area

was extensively burnt in the blaze, and smoke and water caused damage to other parts of the building. Centrelink staff on-hand after their work day helped move any flammable material, and extraction fans helped disperse smoke. Crews were on the scene for four hours, mainly clearing smoke after the fire had been contained. The centre will remain closed until further notice. A portable desk has been set up outside the building for Centrelink clients. The Department of Human Services says residents could access in-person Centrelink and Medicare services at the Mornington, Hastings, Cranbourne, Cheltenham and Dandenong service centres. Staff from Frankston were being redeployed to those sites to bolster services.

“Some staff will remain at Frankston in the interim to direct people to neighbouring offices and to also assist people with urgent business,” the department’s website said. “We ask people to consider delaying non-urgent business and encourage the use of digital service options available, such as the Express Plus Mobile Apps and online and phone self-service, to do routine business with the department. “We will be keeping local residents informed about temporary servicing arrangements once they have been finalised. “We appreciate people’s patience during this time and want to reassure them we are working hard to minimise disruption to services.” The damaged Davey St building also houses an Australian Red Cross Blood Bank and the office of Dunkley federal Liberal MP Chris Crewther.

Roped into a more lawful way of life LEARNING the ropes takes on a new meaning when it’s backed by a court order. For the past 10 years many young offenders have been “sentenced” to teaming up with police to take on the challenges posed by a giant swing and tree top ropes. And the results, according to the Ropes Program organisers at the YMCA’s Camp Manyung, Mt Eliza, is that 90 per cent of the young participants have not reoffended. The program was established under a partnership between Victoria Police, Dandenong Children’s Court, Sport and Recreation Victoria and YMCA Camp Manyung to give first time offenders under 17 a second chance and help persuade them that there is little value in adopting a life of crime. “At first, when the young people arrive at camp, they are generally apprehensive and sit around on their phones. By the end of the day their attitudes have shifted; they are engaging with everyone and thinking more positively about their future,” the YMCA’s Mike McInnes said. “The program demonstrates that the power of the great outdoors and the right organisational partners working together can contribute to building a safer local community and empower vulnerable young people to make positive change.” Senior Constable Leanne Cooper said about 90 per cent of young people participating in the program over the past decade “have not reoffended, which is testament to the positive impact of the program”.

A TOUCHING short film by Mt Eliza filmmaker Michael Raso will screen at the internationally renowned Cannes Film Festival next month. His six-minute entry, Solitude, sponsored by the American Pavilion of Emerging Filmmakers Showcase, is part of a “festival within a festival” highlighting the works of the “next generation of filmmakers”. It is among just 20 short films selected by a panel of industry judges to be screened at the Cannes showcase. Raso, 32, was inspired to make Solitude while waiting for a train at Junee, a picturesque country New South Wales train station. He decided to make a film then and there. Around that time an elderly relative died and his mother told him that most women want to be “buried beside her husband”. The two ideas began to merge in Raso’s mind. “I’d always wanted to do my own project and was forever discussing ideas with my sister, Millie,” he said. “Nothing ever really clicked until I came up with the concept of Solitude and she said: ‘Yes, that’s the one’.” The plot involves an elderly woman (Maggie Blinco) who is desperately alone after the death of her husband. To find solace she visits the local train station which holds a special significance for the widow. “Maggie was not my first choice as the lead but I came to realise that she is absolutely ideal in the role,” Raso said. The former St Thomas More Primary School, Mt Eliza, and Padua College, Mornington student is now an indemand freelance cameraman who shoots AFL and rugby league in Sydney

for channels 9 and 10 as well as Q&A for the ABC. The short film was set to make its debut at the 2015 Tropfest Short Film Festival but didn’t appear since the festival was cancelled that year, Raso said. “It was a bit of a sad time for Solitude which took a year to become popular and be accepted for screening at various short film festivals all over the world. “Its first acceptance in an Australian film festival was a year after completion – the Wollongong Film Festival in NSW.” But things were looking up: after being shown at the Madrid International Film Festival Solitude received three award nominations. “Then I got a letter from ‘the Pavilion’ saying they loved the film and wanted to show it at Cannes, which is really exciting as it’s the pinnacle in the industry,” Mr Raso said. “Now we’ve had up to 35 film

festival acceptances – including this year’s Peninsula Short Film Festival – and have won 12 awards worldwide. “I think we’re up to 14 award wins now, which have been a combination of gold-plated statuettes, certificates, sashes, and cash. “We’ve also been accepted and award nominated into some Academy Award qualifying film festivals, like The Foyle Film Festival, which basically means if you win you go in the running to win an Academy Award. “The most recent Australian Film Festival we won was the Benalla Film Festival in Northern Victoria.” After a promising start with Solitude, his first film as director, Mr Raso is keen for more film directing experience. “I’ve been asked about future projects, which is nice.” The Cannes Film Festival will run 18-26 May, with Solitude to be screened 21-24 May.

Fears Cruden Farm homes plan will ‘impact wildlife’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au OPPOSITION to a proposal to subdivide part of Cruden Farm for residential development is growing. State Liberal MP Neale Burgess, whose Hastings electorate includes Cruden Farm in Langwarrin, attended a community meeting on Friday evening (21 April) to hear feedback about the plan. The estate was the home of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch until her death in 2012 at the age of 103. The estate’s trustees now want to sell 15.8 hectares of land at Cruden Farm — about a third of the total estate — so 116 homes can be built on the eastern and southern parts of the estate. A planning application has been submitted to Frankston Council. Any rezoning of the land from its mainly Rural Conservation Zone status, prohibiting residential development, will need to ultimately be approved by the state government. The change.org petition by the Friends of Langwarrin Outdoors and Waterways has attracted more than 3600 signatures so far and calls on council and Labor state Planning Minister Richard Wynne to reject the planning application. The group says in its petition: “Dame Elisabeth wanted the property protected from any subdivision, and kept for

the community to enjoy.” Keith and Elisabeth Murdoch Trust chairman Ian Evans has said profits from the land sell-off would ensure Cruden Farm could remain open to the public “in perpetuity”. Friends of Langwarrin spokeswoman Suzie Webster said more than 50 people attended Friday’s meeting organised by the group at the Langwarrin Community Centre. “The trust have stated that they need to do this as they do not have the money to continue on with the upkeep of the farm, which is about $1 million per year,” Ms Webster said.

“All but one attendee were of the opinion that the biggest concerns were the impact on the wildlife corridor and the dangerous precedent it would set if the trust was able to have the Urban Growth Boundary moved.” Cruden Farm is mostly zoned RCZ meaning any subdivision must be less than eight hectares and state approval is needed to build any more than one home on the land. The property is also subject to environmental and heritage overlays. A thin strip of land is zoned residential among the 15.8 hectares of land, mostly zoned RCZ, earmarked for sale.

Police patrol ‘Fake’ rifle arrest A FRANKSTON man allegedly “waving around” an imitation firearm with telescope in Cheltenham, 2pm, Thursday 13 April, will be charged on summons. A witness called police to report the Mallee Ct man, 42, and a girlfriend driving along Charman Rd and handling the 71cm rifle with scope. Cheltenham police who arrived on foot said they saw the offender “waving around the imitation firearm on the other side of the road”. They challenged the man to drop the rifle and lay on the ground, which he did. He was then arrested and taken to Cheltenham police station to be questioned. The man told police he was “joking around” with the toy gun and had no intention of committing an offence. The man will be charged with being a prohibited person carrying a firearm. The rifle was seized.

Fire witnesses POLICE are requesting public assistance in finding the cause of the fire which destroyed a Langwarrin house, 2am, Thursday 13 April. Detective Sergeant Gary Richards, of Frankston CIU, said later that the tenant was overseas at the time and the premises were unoccupied. He said no one was injured in the blaze which completely destroyed the house. The house next door received heat damage. The Arson Squad conducted an examination the next day. “We are treating the fire as suspicious as at this stage there is no plausible explanation as to how the fire

started,” Sergeant Richards said. Anyone with information on the cause of the fire, at the corner of Hornsby Dr and South Gateway, is asked to call 9784 5590. Detective Leading Constable Helen Vanzetta, of the Frankston CIU, is coordinating information and seeking any CCTV footage that may assist in a conviction.

Dive shop break-in A FRANKSTON man has been charged with burglary and other offences after the Dive Shop, in Young St, Frankston, was broken into and $7000 in equipment stolen overnight, Saturday 8 April. Detective Senior Constable Flyn Loughlin, of Frankston CIU, said a search of the 34-year-old’s home found some of the missing gear, as well as items from other robberies. The man was also charged with theft, handling stolen goods, and possessing the proceeds of crime. He appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Wednesday, and has been further remanded to reappear on 12 May.

Fight back A MAN living in units behind the former Ambassador hotel, Nepean Hwy, Frankston, tackled a group of men he found allegedly attempting to break into his apartment, 7pm, Tuesday 18 April. The man, who had returned from doing his washing downstairs, was allegedly hit on the head with a blunt instrument but the man fought back. One of the alleged offenders sought medical treatment. Detectives interviewed a man at Frankston Hospital later but no charges were laid. Further inquiries are pending.

Overcoming fears leads to success “LIFE is what happens while you are busy making other plans.” The quote from former Beatle John Lennon was part of a talk at an International Women’s Day Breakfast at Mornington Racecourse. It was used by speaker Kate Carnell to illustrate her life: from her early years as a pharmacist to her current role as Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman. Early in life she realised that to succeed in business she needed to make people feel important, to listen to and be interested in her staff and customers. More than 400 people attended the breakfast, which is a collaborative effort by Frankston North Rotary and the Frankston, Peninsula 2.0 and Mt Eliza Rotary clubs. Money raised goes to community projects. After a 15-year career in pharmacy, including being the first female national vice-president of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Ms Carnell went on to serve as Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory from 1995-2000 and has since held various CEO roles. Her advice to those wanting to succeed in life and career: be ethically true to yourself, engage with the community and be willing to take risks. The second speaker, Susan Berg, author of The Girl Who Lived, recounted the trauma when, as a 15-year-old, she was the sole survivor of a boating accident in Western Port that claimed the lives of her mother, father and brother. Suffering from survivor guilt, Ms Berg charged down a path of self-destruction. In the fol-

Workman injured A WORKMAN suffered a compound fracture of his leg after an accident in the Ross Smith Mall, Frankston, last week. The 52-year-old was manoeuvring a metal light pole when a supporting chain slipped and the pole fell into his leg, 3pm, Tuesday 18 April. WorkSafe inspectors attended the scene and are investigating.

Activist dies at 72 PROMINENT Mornington Peninsula environmental activist Eunice Cain has died after a short illness at the age of 72. Mrs Cain of McCrae was a founding member of the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association, formed 20 years ago over concerns about inadequate shire rubbish disposal and to oppose plans to build a marina at Rosebud. She was secretary and later president of the association. Mrs Cain co-founded the Friends of Rosebud Beach and Foreshore, whose volunteers (including her husband John Cain) completed extensive revegetation on several sections of the foreshore over many years. Her funeral is tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10am at Rosebud Funeral Services, 123 Jetty Rd, Rosebud, followed by a burial service at Dromana Cemetery, Arthurs Seat Rd, Dromana. Standing firm: Kate Carnell, left, and Susan Berg speaking about women fulfilling their lives during an International Women’s Day Breakfast at Mornington Racecourse.

lowing years she continued to face significant challenges and hardship, including domestic violence. Then, aged 30, she escaped death again in a motorbike accident. This was a catalyst in turning her life around and refusing to remain

a victim of her past. She fought through her demons learning to love herself – and life – again. In January this year, she faced her greatest fear: open water, and helped conquer it by swimming in the Lorne Pier to Pub race. On 26 February, she completed

the Rip Swim at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay. These challenges were all part of her ongoing journey of self-healing and her aim of encouraging other women to confront and overcome their fears.

Frankston Basketball Stadium Ratepayers held to ransom by the Frankston District Basketball Association

Given the recent publicity regarding the $13 million Frankston Basketball Stadium redevelopment, I consider it appropriate that I take the opportunity on behalf of your Council to ensure the facts are put before you in order to correct misinformation and to provide clarity on these matters for the entire Frankston City community. Our focus has always been on getting this project delivered. While the Frankston District Basketball Association seems eager to conduct its negotiations through the media, we have tried to resolve matters in a more constructive manner. They have also now called in lawyers, costing their members and the community more money. In 2015, Council and the FDBA reached agreement on all aspects of this project bar the amount of rent payable. Council is disappointed that the FDBA now refuses to accept nearly every clause of this agreement. The key issues are:

Rent: For the existing premises, the FDBA pays an annual rent of $32,304 per annum, plus a discounted building insurance of $5,500 per annum. While Council had initial discussions with the FDBA over a base rent ($60,000) plus a proportion of its turnover for maintenance of the new facility, this was taken off the table some months ago. Council is currently request $60,000 per annum with rent reviews consistent with standard business practice. This is a net increase of $22,000 per annum for a $13 million investment — negligible by any standards. Further, in comparison with similar facilities across the state the offer to the FDBA is fair and lower than others as depicted below.

Rent comparison with other municipalities $450,000

Rent review: The FDBA is refusing a future Council the opportunity to conduct an objective review of the rent payable. Council is requesting a rent review to ensure the amount is fair for the FDBA and the community. The total lease term the FDBA is requesting is for 40 years. To assist in setting up an agreed mechanism for the review, we have asked the FDBA to provide Council with its detailed accounts — something which it is required to do under its current lease. Although boasting a $2 million turnover, the FDBA has refused to provide these documents.

Scope of works: Council is committing $4.6 million of ratepayer funding to this project and right from the beginning it was agreed that this figure was capped and that the scope of the project would be trimmed to fit the budget. Now the FDBA, after it signed off on the scope and participated in the construction tender evaluation, is demanding Council commits to more than $3 million in additional expenditure. It would seem that agreements with the FDBA are not binding. It gives Council no pleasure being in dispute with a valued community organisation, however I and my fellow Councillors must act in the best interests of all our community. Every extra dollar spent on this development is one dollar less spent on other community needs. For example, $3 million could buy us two new multi-purpose sports pavilions, 3 new pre-school centres or pave 75km of footpath. Projects such as these are also a priority to the entire community. I call upon the Frankston District Basketball Association to come to the table, cease its “winner takes all” adversarial approach and negotiate in the best interests of their members and the entire Frankston City community.

Environmentalists make a move after 50 years

Part of the wetlands at the Stricklands’ Bittern property.

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au AN afternoon tea for Peter and Kathie Strickland at Balnarring Hall in mid-March was an “acknowledgment of their considerable contribution to the local environmental and art communities”. The couple, active members of community groups and environment organisations, are leaving their Beattie Av, Bittern, home and moving to Queensland to be near their children after more than 50 years on the Mornington Peninsula. The farewell was attended by friends and representatives of these groups. “[Kathie and Peter] have made many friends and been inspirational with their sense of commitment and can-do attitude and, importantly, they have always delighted in sharing their knowledge and mentoring others,” farewell organiser Annette Bunyevich said. “This can be seen in their passion for the environment, particularly in maintaining its integrity, and promoting the planting of indigenous species. “They have been involved in the establishment and nurturing of the Balbirooroo Wetlands at Balnarring, which is a treasure for the community and, especially, for pupils at Balnarring Primary school for

‘Locals know best’

From the heart: The Stricklands present a painting of the Balbirooroo Wetlands to Shanti, the Balnarring Environmental Action Team captain, to be forwarded to Balnarring Primary School at assembly.

whom it is a wonderland of experiences and learning.” Ms Bunyevich said the school motto, Where Nature Meets Nurture, underscores the school’s role as a Sustainability School. “The wetlands, after years of hard work by many people, have developed into the wonderful oasis,” she said. “Peter’s detailed botanical illustrations of its flora and fauna are placed along the Wetlands walk, as are drawings by Nambooka about

their Koori story. “Peter and Kathie were involved from the early days, donating indigenous plants from their Kareelah Nursery and rolling up their sleeves at community plantings and working bees. “Their love of nature is reflected in Peter’s wonderful paintings of the peninsula and of many other breathtaking places around Australia.” Mr Strickland was the foundation art teacher at Woodleigh School.

ARTIST and author Peter Strickland, who along with his wife Kathie has put together a series of books on indigenous plants, said the Mornington Peninsula had to decide whether it was going to be just a playground for Melbourne or an entity in its own right. “We face lots of problems regarding population expansion, such as farmland, hotels and resorts and transport versus virgin bush,” he said. “We have got to be more selfcentred and do what suits us, such as deciding whether we want to develop the port of Hastings or have Western Port as a relaxation area.” Mr Strickland said the peninsula “had been lucky”. “We have lots of little parks and reserves and a foreshore that is a gem of the highest order, yet we are allowing big buildings to be built right up to the beach.” He said “huge holiday weekenders” were being built at Somers and Balnarring, adding pressure to services and reducing access to the few small car parks.

“Some long-range planning will have to take place or we will be left with a hotchpotch. Someone will have to put their foot down.” Mr Strickland praised the role of local environment experts whose views should be taken into account when governments plan major projects. “It infuriates me when councils hire outof-town consultants when they should be taking notice of local experts who live here, work here and know the area backwards,” he said. The couple say they are not politically aligned, although their frequent well-reasoned letters to the editor are, naturally, for such an environmentally-focused couple, soft-Left. They enjoy the work of their Probus club and will miss their many friends. “I am very keen on painting and will continue painting,” Mr Strickland said. Their new home is at Palmwoods, inland from Maroochydore, which is closer to two of their children: Helen, a potter and environmentalist, and Pedr, an electrician. A third child, David, lives in Canada.

CLOSE to the foreshore and cafes, this enchanting cottage wonderfully encapsulates the quintessential beachside lifestyle. Full use has been made of the 545 square metre block with lush, leafy gardens providing a private sanctuary to enjoy a series of timber alfresco decks that complement the existing living space and will really come into their own when the warmer months return. There is just the one living space, but what a space it is. Full of charm, the interior

receives plenty of natural light, and sliding doors at the side and rear allow for pleasant coastal breezes to do their thing. The upcycled corrugated iron ceilings are a revelation, and the polished floorboards and cosy woodheater provide plenty of extra ambience. A neat kitchen is equipped with a stainless-steel under bench oven and a dishwasher, and the large island bench performs double duty as the dining table. The larger main bedroom will comfortably accomodate

a king-sized bed, and the second bedroom has a built-in wardrobe. Detached from the home is a lovely timber-lined studio or third bedroom, again with a fantastic iron ceiling, and a large picture window provides an inspiring view of the garden. Neat, simple and effective, this home just works on so many levels and for first home buyers or downsizers looking for that property with a difference, this charmer is going to be hard to beat.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

R. T. Picking and family return to the city after the summer Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR R. T. Picking and family, after spending the summer months in Frankston, have removed to their residence at Glen Huntly. *** THERE was a good attendance at the “Australian” Club dance on Saturday evening last, the financial result of which should add materially to the funds. *** THE Floral Fete in aid of the Church of England funds, was opened in the hall, Frankston, on Friday afternoon, and will continue this afternoon and evening. A meeting of the members of the Frankston Branch of the National Federation will, be held in the Mechanics’ Institute, on Monday next. Members are requested to be punctual at half past seven o’clock. *** MRS Utber Hon. Sec. Red Cross Society, acknowledges the following donations :–Market Garden Picnic Association, per M. Clements Esq. £1 10s; Mrs Wheeler, marking ink; Mrs Masterton, 4 doz. petrol cases; Miss O’Grady, pair sox. *** IN our report of the Hyndes-Spillane wedding last week, in the list of presents received, it credited the Catholic Church committee with giving a Statue of the Sacred Heart, the gift should have been credited to Mrs Osborne, Mr and Mrs Paxman and Mr Anderson. *** A FOOTBALL match was played at Mornington on Monday last, between the Frankston and Mornington juniors, resulting in the defeat of the visitors by 12.10 to 4.2 goals. The game was a good one but the weight of the home team wore down their opponents, who were of much lighter calibre.

A. Tevandale captained the Frankston team and T. Harrison, the Mornington team. A return match will be played at Frankston, on Saturday (today.) *** ECHOES from the Front. WHERE ARE THE BOYS WE KNOW ? We regret to report that news has been received that Corporal A. E. Hollier, of, Tyabb, is seriously ill also that Private H. F. Young of Mornington, is amongst the missing. Billy Clements whose adventures since becoming a soldier have been varied, has written some interesting letters. He says – “Ro. Peebles was in to see me last night and I was putting forth a tale of woe about not getting any letters from “Aussie” when in blew twelve, per Arthur Green. The photo side of your card went round the Hut and many of the boys know the old Hermit’s well and were pleased to have their memories refreshed with the picture. Jack Reardon has gone to France and last time I heard, he was well. We had a meeting of the Clan over here and the members present were.–J. M. Reardon, A. Wilcox, E. Worrall, C. Hagan, C. Brody and yours truly. I can tell you our tongues went some. I think they are all in France now, gone to fight for me. I’ve had one “go” and I don’t want two. I can see it coming though. I had a letter from Mr C. P. Watson, have sent it on to Jack. Charley Ellis is here in camp. “Smitho” remarks casually that he is biting his beer off in lumps. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 April 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Making a complete spectacle of myself By Stuart McCullough NOT all change is incremental. Sometimes it’s comes upon you with all the force of a wet fish as it collides with the back of your head. And when the moment of impact arrives, there’s no going back. Rather, you must accept that things will never be quite the same again. Ever. It happened to me this week when I foolishly left my mobile phone lying on the kitchen table. My wife spotted it and offered to make some adjustments. Foolishly, I thought these adjustments might involve flames shooting out of the speakers whenever a text message arrived or installing an app that enabled time travel, but no. Rather, my wife increased the size of the print. It’s a special time in your life when you make the shift to really big print. This means I can now read text messages even if I don’t have my glasses on, albeit one word at a time. Not that I’m often without my glasses anymore. Gone are the days when spectacles were something I wore only when I studied or wished to appear smarter. Now my face furniture is nearly always in place. My glasses have evolved from accessory to necessity. I got my first pair of glasses in high school. I’d have been in year nine or thereabouts. I had started getting headaches and it turned out these weren’t simply the result of being in year nine and studying geometry – a skill I have since steadfastly refused to use on principle – but the result of something far more structural. Getting your first pair of glasses requires

PAGE 18

Frankston Times 24 April 2017

that you choose a frame that suits your personality. It’s a big choice and requires that you confront certain uncomfortable truths. But getting glasses as a teenager also demands a kind of strength of character. In particular, that you ignore all the advice your parents are trying to give you regarding a sensi-

ble choice. At fourteen I didn’t especially want to be sensible. Rather, I wanted to use this opportunity to finally reveal just how incredibly cool I was. Granted, this is a lot to ask from a single pair of glasses, but that’s how I imagined it. In the end, I suspect I rushed my decision. In my mind, my new glasses made

me look like John Lennon. On my face, however, they made me look like someone who ought to be organising the scones for Sunday school. They were a compromise, to be sure. I had wanted round glasses without a frame but settled for slightly ovalshaped lenses with a gold frame. They were more Elton John that John Lennon, but I wore them all the same. In later years, I even had a pair of matching earrings. The overall effect was I’d describe as ‘studious pirate’. If the first pair of glasses I owned were disastrous, the second pair weren’t quite as good. I was continuing my quest to be loved and admired by all; a status I thought would only be achieved if I could prove just how immensely, dazzlingly awesome I was. For reasons that now elude me, I decided that this would best be achieved by wearing a pair of ‘half’ glasses. Half glasses are the kind favoured by bookkeepers and imperious headmasters the world over. I reasoned they would facilitate a better view of the blackboard whilst still keeping my notes in focus. In retrospect, what I gained in functionality, I lost ten times over in terms of credibility. My bizarre choice of facial-wear did nothing to endear me to my peers, many of whom were inspired to pursue laser eye surgery after having seen me. I, however, continued on oblivious. The frames were brown and curled up at the edges, giving the appearance of a half-formed smile. They were the kind spectacles you might expect to see Dame Edna Everage wearing if she was trying to take

a low-key trip down to shops for a litre of milk. These were my glasses of choice through University and beyond. Eventually, I dumped these in favour of my current pair, which are black and (comparatively speaking) normal. In recent years, my prescription has needed updating on a far more regular basis. Ideally, this would occur weekly. In response to the optometrist’s invitation to read the smallest letters I can, my response is to either to ask ‘what letters?’ or to hazard a guess as though it were some kind of bizarre game show. The optometrist takes a tough line and refuses to let me phone a friend. The results are often ugly. Having complained that my eyesight was getting worse, I was informed that this was simply a natural part of the ageing process. Perhaps it’s a good thing that we live in an age where the click of a mouse will enlarge anything you’re trying to read. It’s odd, but part of me wants to resist rather than embrace the shift to bigger print. It’s as though I can’t yet permit myself to make such a concession. I should probably get over it. After all, there’s not much any of us can do to stall the march of time. In fact, when all’s said and done, it’s best to march right along with it. Upon reflection, I should have seen it coming and embraced it sooner. It would have saved a whole lot of squinting. That I didn’t do so is kind of unforgiveable, especially when it was clear that the writing was on wall. In really, really big letters too. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Silky champion joins ‘300 club’ PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt KARINGAL champion Michael Burke played his 300th game on Sunday against Frankston YCW. The six-time best and fairest winner, premiership player and league medallist became only the 18th player in MPNFL history to be awarded life membership for 300 games. Burke joined the likes of Guy Stringer, Robert Jackson, Daniel Smith, Gordon Hendry, Mark Hustwaite, Brendan Long and Brett Wright in the elite and prestigious 300 club. Burke has captained and coached Karingal FC and his loyalty has never wavered. The godfather of Karingal FC, Daniel ‘Digger’ Watts, aptly described Burke as the most loyal, honest, humble and inspiring player and person in the history of the Karingal Football Club. The Bulls honoured Burke at a tribute dinner last Thursday night and a panel luncheon on Sunday. Pines has set up a top of the table showdown against Frankston YCW this weekend at Jubilee Park after knocking over Edithvale-Aspendale on Saturday. The Pythons head into the fourth round facing the games’ biggest challenge – the Stonecats on their home turf. Following its form in the open-

The lowdown: Langwarrin and Seaford battled it out at Lloyd Park with Seaford easing to a 59-point victory. Picture: Andrew Hurst

ing three matches of the season, the Pythons looked to be in good shape heading into the clash. The Stonecats, albeit the most professional outfit in the comp, will come off a six-day break after playing Karingal on Sunday. Pines spoilt the party of one of the MPNFL’s finest ever players, Edithvale’s Tim Mannix, who celebrated his 200th game. Mannix is a premiership player,

six-time best and fairest winner and league medallist. However, even Timmy Mannix couldn’t make a difference to Pines dominance on Saturday at Regents Park. Tim Bongetti was unstoppable with six goals for the winners while Aaron Edwards booted four in the 118.16 (124) to 12.9 (81) victory. Guy Hendry was also superb in the ruck and floating forward with two

goals while lesser likes in Dylan Smillie and Ben Thomas were outstanding. Will Flavelle booted four for the Eagles, as did one of the Eagles’ best Charlie Martello, while Angus Macquire and Callan Van Dyke were also outstanding players for the home side. Bonbeach made it back-to-back wins, beating old foe Chelsea 17.17 (119) to 10.5 (65). Trent Dennis-Lane was sensational once again for the Sharks with five

goals, making it nine in two weeks, while Shane McDonald and Dylan Jones were at their best. Darcy James and Todd Cracknell aren’t names synonymous with the Sharks but their performances on Saturday are an indication of the good form of the team right now. The Sharks opened up a 33-point lead in the opening quarter and it blew out to 72 points at three-quarter time. Jack Francis was a stand-out for the Gulls with six goals while Rhys Hensel and Simon MItchelhill worked tirelessly. Seaford maintained its third position on the ladder with a percentage-booster against Langwarrin at Lloyd Park. After a relatively tight first quarter, Seaford extended a 15-point quarter time lead into a 59-point winning margin, 117.13 (115) to 8.8 (56). Dan Lewis was superb for the Tigers with four goals while Dean Williamson, Kane Taylor and Brayden Irving were unstoppable. Rourke Fischer has had a tough time with injury over the past couple of years but he was back to his best last week, while a fit Aaron Turner was also impressive. Michael Parker and Blake Harkness were again Langwarrin’s best, while Keiran Albanese booted four goals. The traditional Anzac Day clash between Mt Eliza and Mornington will be played at Wooralla Drive on Tuesday.

‘Olympic’ away day win for Hillmen NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RED Hill made it two wins on the trot on Saturday when it dominated for much of the afternoon to beat Rosebud at Olympic Park for the first time since 1985. Rosebud led inside the first minute of the match when Keegan Downie goaled but from that moment on, it was all Red Hill. The Hillmen’s dominance from the half back line and blistering pace through the middle of the ground was just too much for the Buds to handle. The inevitable match-up between Red Hill’s Chris Irving and Rosebud’s Greg Bentley did take place from the first bounce. The personal duel was cut short when ‘GB’ tweaked his hamstring in the second quarter. Peter and Marcus Lago were superb across half-back and through the middle for the Hillmen while Tom McEnroe was the best player on the ground with his dash and ball use from defence. Harry Wynn-Pope was again competitive in the ruck and around the ground against the best in the business in Ben Dwyer, while Michael Mock, Mitch Wallace and Jonah Siverson all won their battles in the back half. Siverson out-pointed Downie and Wallace had the better of a returning Tom Baker from Casey in the VFL. Red Hill was a very competitive outfit last season, however, some additional class in the side has made a significant difference to the line-up and its ability taking the ball forward. Chris Irving was again dominant through the middle and at stoppages and even wound back the clock to his

younger years taking a screamer at half forward. Ben Hughes straightens Red Hill up but he didn’t boot a goal in the first quarter and got an early corky. He still finished with a game-high five goals. Sean ‘Nooga’ Holmes has also returned after a year riding motorcross and the one that is getting under most guards is Dylan Hoare. Holmes was exceptional on the weekend and Hoare was a lively

nuisance, finishing with a goal. Jake Mold missed the match as a result of a spider bite, Matt Hyden was a late withdrawal and Benny McCormack was in the reserves. There’s a lot of upside to the Hillmen and there’s no question that they like the wide-open spaces - their run and spread is going to cause a lot of issues for opposition teams. Rosebud trailed by as much as 38 points early in the last quarter be-

fore fighting back to get within 17. The final margin was 21 points, 10.5 (65) to 5.14 (44). Many of Rosebud’s behinds were rushed. Jack Jarman and Daniel Wilson, despite not being named in Rosebud’s best, were clearly their best two. Sean Downie was also very good for the Buds, as was Anthony Pegg from half back and Jake Corrin. Leg speed in attack seemed to be an issue for the Buds and it’s something they need to be looking at addressing quickly. Pearcedale proved that its big win against Frankston Bombers on Easter Saturday was not just a flash in the pan, despite going down to Somerville on Saturday. The Dales stuck with the Eagles at the nest for the entire match and had its chances in the last quarter, however, inaccuracy paid a price. Somerville had its noses in front for the most part of the match and won 12.17 (89) to 110.22 (82). The Eagles have had a great start to the season with three wins from three matches, including a win against Red Hill at home. On Saturday, Adrian Speedy and Justin Allsop continued their outstanding starts to the season while Billy Rolfe was also at his best. In defence, Kane McKenzie was superb. Andrejs Everitt booted three for the winners and Jedd Sutton booted a couple. Luke Dalmau was again electric for the Dales with four goals while Matt Smith and Daniel Marshall were outstanding. Devon Meadows put a horrible preseason behind it and notched its first win of the season, beating Crib Point 13.22 (100) to 10.8 (68).

The Panthers lost more than 20 players in the off-season, troubling its depth. However, its top end talent was always there and after strong performances against Hastings and Pearcedale in the opening two rounds, deserved to taste victory. The Panthers dominated the opening quarter and despite a fightback from the Pies, always had the game in their control. Allan Murray booted four goals to give him 12 for the season, while Steve McInnes added another three to give him 11 for season 2017. Jesse Dehey and Stef Baumgartner continued their superb starts to the season. Ned Shannon, the son of former Hastings’ star Andrew, was great again for the Pies with three goals while Taylor Stratton and Brad Arnold led from the front. Leigh Poholke celebrated his 100th game for Sorrento on Saturday with a game-high six goals in his side’s 27.15 (177) to 10.7 (67) victory against Rye. Nick Corp booted five also for the Sharks while Shannon Gladman continued his outstanding season with three goals from the middle. Tim Churchin was the only multiple goal kicker for Rye with two while Harry Whitty and teenager Joel Wills tried hard. Dromana notched up its first win of the season, smashing Tyabb 22.19 (151) to 6.3 (39). Beau Cosson returned with seven goals for the Tigers while Cam Carmody finished with four and Adam Hunter three. Terry Wheeler and Rory Gregg were amongst the Dromana best again, as was Shaun Clarke. Ethan Rahilly and Jordan Pollard were once again the best of the Yabbies. Frankston Times 24 April 2017

Stevenson flies in to kickstart Strikers’ season SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie PENINSULA Strikers coach Craig Lewis will be at Melbourne Airport on Monday night (24 April) to greet high-profile Scottish recruit Ryan Stevenson. It would be no surprise if officials from Preston Lions also are there as the State 1 North-West club contacted Stevenson last week in a cheeky 11th-hour bid to prise the former Hearts attacking midfielder from Strikers’ grip. “Ryan rang me as soon as Preston tried to sign him and said that he told them he had agreed with Strikers and that he would honour his word,” said Lewis. Strikers last week ended negotiations with another Scottish midfielder, Cowdenbeath’s Brian Ross, and have now turned their attention to 22-year-old defender Sean McCall who joined Kirkintilloch Roy Roy last August from Tower Hearts. Lewis will hold a Skype session with McCall this week and hopes to entice the Scot to Centenary Park. Lewis has also been active on the local market with the capture of 18-year-old former Bentleigh Greens midfielder Emmanual Brima and late last week completed the signing of left winger Vladimir Kosovac from Goulburn Valley Suns. Kosovac, 22, was with Serbian club OFK Beograd in 2016. English central defender Michael Nugent is training with Strikers and is expected to sign. Nugent was a teammate of Mornington star Ryan Paczkowski at Harworth Colliery in the Central Midlands League North. The need to strengthen Strikers’ squad was emphasised on Saturday as the club lost its fourth straight league game going down to a 22nd minute Gethin Jones goal at home to State 2 South-East rival Doveton. Danijel Buhic of Doveton was sent off in the 50th minute. Langwarrin remained on top of the State 1 South-East ladder after Saturday’s 3-1 home win against neighbour Casey Comets. Ex-Langy midfielder Ray Markley was on the end of a long free-kick in the 3rd minute but shot straight at Langy keeper Robbie Acs and three minutes later a Connor Belger free kick put Langy 1-0 up. Markley headed over following an Andy Stubley cross from the right in the 10th minute and Aaran Currie’s curled shot in the 15th minute was acrobatically tipped onto the far post by Comets’ custodian Faraz Zanoozi. Ryan Hughes burst through into a one on one with Acs in the 20th minute but the keeper spread himself superbly to block and Langy went further ahead in the 22nd minute thanks to an own goal following a Belger free kick. Currie’s deflected low shot in the 34th minute beat Zanoozi at the near post to make it 3-0 and Langy was cruising. Two minutes into the second half Markley shot over from the left of the Langy area and in the 50th minute a superb Jesse Martindale free kick made it 3-1. In the 63rd minute Allando Matheson skinned

John Guthrie and curled the ball towards the top far corner but Acs at full stretch tipped it wide. Langy midfielder Paul Speed was forced to clear off the line from the resultant corner and that was as close as Comets came to clawing their way back into the contest. Matheson had chances to pull the trigger but his overuse of the ball proved his undoing. Mornington returned to winning ways last weekend after a shake-up to the starting line-up that saw central midfielders Grant Smart and Chris Reid on the bench with Nathan Yole and Danny Black taking over the full back spots. But State 1 South-East opponent Clifton Hill had the home side on the back foot after the referee ruled that substitute Josh Valadon, who had replaced an injured Black, handled during a Clifton Hill break and Jonathan Voulgaras converted easily from the penalty spot in the 30th minute. But three second half goals settled the issue and Mornington eventually ran out a 3-1 victor. A long free kick into the Cilfton Hill area and a poor attempted punch by Clifton Hill keeper Chris Davis allowed Paczkowski to pounce and strike home a first time shot from close range in the 55th minute. Six minutes later a long throw and a dreadful attempt to head clear saw Paczkowski conjure up a clever overhead kick to make it 2-1. Simon Mur sealed the win in the last few minutes after substitute Smart and Wayne Gordon played a one-two on the right before Gordon’s ball over the top sent Mur through and he neatly clipped the ball over the advancing Davis. Well-travelled striker Gino Defeo is on the move once more after quitting Mornington on Saturday. Frankston Pines broke through for its first league win of the season when it downed Doncas-

ter Rovers 2-0 in their State 2 South-East clash at Monterey Reserve last weekend. Pines keeper Alfonso Cardinale was in outstanding form saving a first half penalty before Jack Wrobel gave Pines the lead in the 33rd minute. Luke Murray played the ball to Ioasa Saemo on the left and his far post cross was chested down by Wrobel who then tucked it under advancing Doncaster keeper Mathew Davoli. In the 65th minute both sides were reduced to 10 men when Francois Armansin of Pines and Peter Addo of Doncaster were sent off. The game was put out of the visitors’ reach in the 85th minute when Mauritian import Cedric Permal engineered a superb breakaway and sent Wrobel clear and his clinical finish made it 2-0. Seaford United lost its State 2 South-East home game against North Caulfield 4-2 on Sunday. Dylan Waugh put Seaford ahead after eight minutes with a simple tap in past stranded North Caulfield keeper Sam Quinn but a Daniel Sacks free kick in the 29th minute was handled in the defensive wall and Sacks converted from the penalty spot to make it 1-1. The highlight of the second half was a hattrick to veteran striker Oran Harel and the reply by Seaford substitute Tom Natoli in the dying minutes was too little too late for a disappointing home team. Skye United’s 5-1 win over Middle Park in their State 3 South-East clash at Skye Recreation Reserve on Saturday was underpinned by a hattrick to Nick Theodore. It was an aggressive opening stanza with the first 15 minutes relatively even until Mark O’Connor curled one around the Middle Park custodian to open the scoring. Minutes later Theodore capitalised on a defensive error to make it 2-0 but in the 42nd minute

Skye defender Johnny Andrinopolous was dispossessed in the final third and Middle Park’s Andrew Gibson made it 2-1. Shortly after Theodore ensured the hosts maintained their two-goal buffer at the break with a classy finish from inside the box. Skye dominated long periods of the second half and a Marcus Collier drive from outside the box and Theodore’s hat-trick completed the rout. Baxter’s 3-1 win over Dandenong South in their State 4 South fixture was soured by a season-ending injury to midfielder Liam Tinsley late in the first half that saw him taken to Frankston Hospital with a cracked femur and an ACL injury. A classy hat-trick to striker Mark Pagliarulo was a match highlight, his first goal coming in the 14th minute when he finished a great solo run with a stunning strike from a tight angle. Pagliarulo made it 2-0 just before half-time after a neat one-two with Jack Gallagher. A clumsy challenge by Markus Oliphant in the 68th minute allowed Malik Sulemani to convert from the penalty spot to make it 2-1 but Pagliarulo was at the back post to head home a Travis Ernsdoerfer cross in the 80th minute. The visitors struck the woodwork six times in what was a hard-fought contest. Rosebud Heart lost 3-2 at home to Bayside Argonauts last weekend and veteran midfielder Adam Poole had to be substituted late in the match with a suspected Achilles injury. Adrian Lotca opened the scoring for Bayside in the 12th minute getting a favourable rebound from his challenge with Heart keeper Sean Skelly and tapping the ball into an unguarded goal. Dave Greening equalised two minutes into the second half when he deftly slotted the ball past Bayside keeper James Howarth but an excellent strike into the far corner by Stephen Patterson in the 55th minute restored Bayside’s lead. Heart hit back in less than a minute after Cory Osorio beat three opponents then cheekily chipped Howarth from 25 metres to make it 2-2. A pivotal moment in this clash came when Greening rounded Howarth and scored only to be controversially ruled offside and that decision came back to haunt Heart in the 79th minute when a long throw was flicked on by Tony Saric and bobbled over the line for the winner. Somerville Eagles continued their winless start to their inaugural State League campaign when they were on the wrong end of a 7-2 hiding from Chelsea FC last weekend and now prop up the State 5 South ladder. This weekend’s games: SATURDAY, 3pm: Warragul Utd v Langwarrin (Baxter Park, Warragul), Seaford Utd v Peninsula Strikers (North Seaford Reserve), Doveton v Frankston Pines (Waratah Reserve), Riversdale v Skye Utd (Frog Hollow Reserve), Keysborough v Baxter (Coomoora Reserve), Dandenong South v Rosebud Heart (Fotheringham Reserve), Somerville Eagles v Pakenham Utd (Somerville Secondary College). SATURDAY, 8pm: Mooroolbark v Mornington (Esther Park Reserve).

New hole offers scenic alternative for golfers By Ben Triandafillou GOLFERS are graced with a vast variety of holes across the Mornington Peninsula, from long winded par fives to elegant pitch and putt, par threes and this spring, golfers will see another challenging hole join the peninsula’s golfing circuit. The $90,000 development of the 150-metre par three at Mornington Golf Club will be another intriguing hole for peninsula golfers, with views of the city’s skyline and the peninsula’s coastline. Designed by Darius Oliver (Planet Golf) and Ben Davey (Contour Golf Designs), the par three will be a major attraction for golfers and will also play an influential role in the club’s strategic master plan. The 19th hole will allow the Mornington Golf Club to improve existing holes and continue to provide golfers with a first class and well-maintained golf course while having 18 holes still in use. “The new hole allows us to proceed with our long-term master plan for the entire course,” Mornington Golf Club general manager Craig Murdoch said. “We will be able to take a hole out of play to make improvements to it and still have 18 holes in play.” Although the holes are well-maintained and are in pristine condition, many of the greens are over 30 years old and are due to have an upgrade. The ‘spare hole’ will allow the 810 members at Mornington Golf Club to continue their undisrupted play while improvements are made throughout the course. The Mornington Golf Club has seen a steady rise in club memberships over the past few years and with the in-

troduction of their new hole, the trend is likely to continue. Membership prices for golfers in the 18-20-year-old age bracket have also been slashed so that juniors who are moving into their ‘senior’ career can have an affordable golfing experience. “Junior golf has long been a focus of the club,” Murdoch said. “With 150 juniors now on board, two

junior Pennant teams and a host of juniors representing the club in Golf Peninsula Victoria events we feel Mornington is definitely one of the premier clubs on the peninsula driving junior golf.” Junior golfers from the Mornington Golf Club were highly successful at the Eric Lucas Matchplay event on Friday 7 April at Flinders Golf Club,

winning and finishing runners-up, in both the boys and girls events. Jennifer Quinlan won the girl’s event with Lauren Barry finishing runners-up, while Ben Tincknell was the winner of the boy’s event with Dan Vince finishing in second. Mornington has also been successful at the National Junior Classic with Aidan McDonagh winning the un-

der-16’s Nett division and in the GPV Junior Pennant with Team Scott winning the divisional flag. The new par three at the Mornington Golf Club will provide the junior golfers with another fantastic opportunity to experience another remarkable hole and continue to improve their game. The new hole will be ready for play in spring.

National champ wins Easter comp By Ben Triandafillou THE peninsula’s premier bowls tournament was held on Saturday 15 April at the City of Frankston Bowling Club with $6000 up for grabs. The annual ‘Frankston by the Bay Easter Classic Open Pairs’ was won by the 2012 Australian Champion of Champions singles winner, Dylan Fisher and partner Dale Verhagen. Verhagen and Fisher defeated Rob Huddle and Dave Windley in the final of the Easter tournament after a spectacular round of bowls. The bowls club was filled to near maximum capacity with more than 80 competitors entering the Easter classic. The Easter classic has continued to attract competitors from across the state as well as some international bowlers over the past few years. “The Easter classic attracts some of the elite bowlers from across the state and also some from Hong Kong,” City of Frankston Bowling Club administrator, Alan Neil, said.

“It’s a prestige tournament which this year had to be funded by the club but we wanted to keep the tournament going as it brings some of the top bowlers to the peninsula.” The tournament has been running since the 1990s but was unfortunately stopped in the early 2000s due to a variety of factors affecting the club. The Easter Classic was later revived in the mid-2000s and has now been running for several years. “The recent resurgence of more young people joining the club and participating in lawn bowls has definitely helped,” Neil said. “It’s no longer just an old person’s sport with the elite level now full of young people in their 20s and 30s.” This year, the club has had to fund the Easter classic out of its own pocket as it’s no longer receiving funding from the Frankston Council and is unable to fit into any of the categories for a grant. Neil said that the Easter classic was likely to continue to run even if the club has to fund the event itself.
