Jamaica up, eating after muddy fall A ROPE harness was used to rescue much-loved pet horse Jamaica after she lost her footing and slid down an embankment at about 7.30am on Thursday 20 July. Owner Brenda Robinson, of Frankston-Flinders Rd, Frankston South, said the 39-year-old mare could not regain her footing in the wet and muddy conditions, and lay stranded in the cold for half an hour. Frankston SES crews slung ropes around the horse’s middle and lifted her into a standing position while a vet checked her condition. Ms Robinson, Jamaica’s second owner over the past 10 years, said she was “very happy” with the work of the rescue crews. “They did a wonderful job,” she said. “Jamaica is up, eating and moving around and the vet says she is okay.” Picture: Gary Sissons

‘Boycott’ over absent councillor’s lost vote Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON’S Cr Kris Bolam says he will “boycott” tonight’s (Monday 24 July) ordinary meeting over what he claims is “wilful disenfranchisement” of a councillor. Cr Bolam said he made the decision “with a heavy heart” to protest at the

mayor Cr Brian Cunial’s decision to refuse deferral of a matter that Cr Lillian O’Connor had asked be dealt with at the 14 August meeting – instead of tonight’s meeting – as she will be overseas. “Cr O’Connor cannot attend as she will be oversees with her family and celebrating her birthday,” Cr Bolam said. Her absence means she won’t be

able to vote on a rescission motion: Independence of the Notice of Motion Process and Independent Costings, which will jeopardise the 5–3 decision voted in on 5 July. Cr Bolam’s stand has been supported by Cr Glenn Aitken who said last Thursday he also would not attend the meeting “on moral grounds”. This takes the number of possible attendees to six out of nine, meaning

the meeting will still have a quorum. However, Cr Cunial said in a statement that a request at the 10 July meeting to reschedule the 24 July ordinary meeting “due to the unavoidable absence of a councillor” had been considered. “According to the council’s Governance Local Law (Meeting Procedures), this does not constitute ‘exceptional circumstances’, there-

fore the meeting date could not be changed,” he said. “Staff have prepared for the 24 July meeting to proceed as publicly advertised and [as] scheduled at the November 2016 statutory meeting. “Councillors have a responsibility to attend ordinary meetings unless circumstances prevent them from doing so.” Continued Page 5

Burglars are better at Hungry Jacks

TWO intruders used a large concrete block to smash their way into Hungry Jacks in Cranbourne Rd, Karingal, at about 3.10am on Saturday 15 July. The men, with clothing covering their faces, demanded cash from a staff member, 21, who was marched at knife-point to the rear office area where a quantity of cash was stolen. They then fled the store on foot. Detective Senior Constable Paul Roberts, of the Frankston Embona Armed Robbery Taskforce, said anyone with information could call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

BUSINESS PROFILE

NEWS DESK Police patrol Tyre-less pursuit ends in arrest THE driver of a car being driven erratically in Langwarrin, 7.30am, Saturday 15 July, was allegedly found with an air rifle, tin of ammunition, hunting knife, balaclava, and torch in the passenger side foot well. Police said they received six calls from members of the public about the damaged car in Arnett Ct, which was missing a front wheel and driving on its “sparking” rim. The car collided with a safety barrier on Peninsula Link but continued driving before being forced to stop in Bayport Drive. The driver, 38, of Langwarrin, remained behind the wheel and continued trying to drive the immobile car, police said. He was charged with driving, drug and firearms offences and remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

A CARRUM Downs man will be charged on summons with allegedly pushing and attempting to strike an off-duty police woman as they walked their dogs in a park, 3pm, Sunday 16 July. The incident occurred in Brunnings Rd, Carrum Downs, when the man’s dog ran at the woman’s dog in “an aggressive manner” and started a fight. He then allegedly struck her dog to break it up. When she protested the man, 40, allegedly pushed her and swung a punch, which missed. The police woman followed the man home and called police.

Sword, axe seized A SWORD and a tomahawk were among items allegedly found by police in a car at Skye, Friday. Carrum Downs and Somerville highway patrol units stopped the car in the drive through of a fast food restaurant on the corner of Hall Rd and Westernport Highway, 3.45am. Police later said they had seen the sword in the car’s boot – prompting them to conduct a full search which allegedly unearthed the tomahawk. A 27-year-

old Pearcedale man underwent a preliminary oral fluid test and returned a positive result. He is expected to be charged on summons with weapons offences. Police said they wre awaiting the outcome of forensic testing of the POFT. A passenger, a 17-year-old Oakleigh South girl, was arrested over outstanding warrants. She was bailed to appear at a children’s court on 8 August.

House razed by fire AN abandoned Carrum Downs house was destroyed by fire last week. The Hall Rd weatherboard was well alight when a passer-by reported the blaze to Skye CFA, 3.15pm, Monday 10 July. Detective Senior Constable Mark Garrett, of Frankston CIU, said the house – on a block earmarked for a unit development – was extensively damaged in the second blaze in a fortnight and was likely to be demolished. It was frequented by squatters who lit fires in bedrooms. CFA units from Skye and surrounding areas attended. One side of Hall Rd was closed to traffic while crews fought the fire.

Men charged after shooting ARMED Crime Squad detectives have charged two Frankston men after an alleged shooting in Frankston on Saturday 15 July.

Men’s shed wins reprieve, stays open after closure announcement Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Men’s Shed has been given a reprieve and will not close at the end of the year. Peninsula Health announced late last week it had reversed its decision to close the shed. Earlier in the week, Peninsula Health’s director for prevention, access and families Julie Hurrell told shed members that “changes to the men’s shed program” meant it did “not meet funding requirements”. “As a result [the shed] will have to close.” An “information session” to explain the decision left many members unhappy, with some saying the shed was “the only one that caters for men with physical and intellectual disabilities”. The Times received irate correspondence from many volunteers and users upset at the pending closure, which they said came “out of the blue”. Some were in tears, and many feared that without the shed they would “have nowhere else to go”. Disgruntled members called on federal

Dunkley MP Paul Edbrooke to back their stand. “I ask you to intervene on behalf of all who use the shed and assist us in stopping its intended closure,” one wrote to the MP. “Although there are two others sheds in the Frankston municipality and 10 in the surrounding area, our shed caters for men who struggle to work [in them] due to their special needs.” In a statement last Friday, Peninsula Health’s continuing and community care boss Lyn Jamieson said the shed was “not closing”. “We regularly review our service offering to ensure it meets the health needs of our local community,” she said. “After careful consideration and community consultation, the Men’s Shed Program will continue to operate at Frankston Hospital.” Men’s shed coordinator John Baarsma and Peninsula Health volunteers have run the men’s shed for 10 years. Each week they spend about 20 hours assisting members and helping them with their projects. Ms Hurrell estimated this amounted to 28,000 hours of service over the decade.

Bolam ‘Boycott’ over “wilful disenfranchisement” of a councillor Continued from Page 1 Cr Bolam said that, among a raft of directives, the contentious notice of motion called for a review of the councillor code of conduct, adoption of a new Meeting Local Law, the need for the CEO to create a new system for councillors to gain independent costings on ambiguous price tags for new initiatives, and a moratorium on written staff commentary/interference surrounding notices of motion. Cr Bolam said “fair and procedural justice has not been afforded to Cr O’Connor”. “I cannot be complicit to a meeting that effectively ignores the will of an elected representative,” he said. “Cr O’Connor’s voice isn’t being respected so I’m not going to legitimise this meeting by attending. I do not have time for petty games and neither does the city.” Cr Bolam believed the timing of the rescission motion aimed to “intentionally undermine the clear and democratic vote” by taking advantage of Cr O’Connor’s absence and allowing the minority of councillors an opportunity to rescind the council’s previous 5–3 decision. He said that decision “remains supported by the majority of councillors but is now endangered due to her absence”. Cr Bolam is this week touring Bright in northeast Victoria as a guest of Alpine Shire Council mayor Cr Ron Janas. While there he will discuss Frankston’s potential re-entry into the Municipal Association of Victoria and be briefed on Alpine Shire’s enterprise bargaining agreement “which was successfully finalised some weeks ago”. Cr Bolam said the visit was arranged “after I decided not to attend the council meeting”.

Council set to vote on Cruden Farm plan Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au

Sylvan scene: Cruden Farm is open to the public several times each year.

PLANS to subdivide part of Cruden Farm in Langwarrin for residential development go to Frankston Council next month. Councillors are expected to debate and vote on the matter on 14 August. The matter was originally scheduled to be discussed tonight (Monday) but was rescheduled. The council is expected to include all documents relating to the rezoning in the agenda for the meeting, the first time all documents have been made public. The vote will be the first step in a process that, if successful, would see 116 houses built on about 15.8 hectares (40 acres) on the eastern and southern edges of the property. Cruden Farm is currently 54 hectares (133 acres) in total. The application will test planning minister Richard Wynne and the state government’s commitment to a permanent Urban Growth Boundary

Minimum subdivision size in a Rural Conservation Zone is eight hectares (80,000 square metres). Newspaper tycoon Keith Murdoch, father of News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch, bought Cruden Farm as a wedding present for Dame Elisabeth in 1928. A renowned philanthropist, Dame Elisabeth died at age 103 in 2012 and Cruden Farm estate was transferred to Cruden Custodian Limited in 2013. Trustees include several grandchildren of Dame Elisabeth but not her high-profile son Rupert. Earlier this year, Cruden Farm director Cara Simpson said in a state-

ment that the subdivision revenue would “secure the long-term future of Cruden Farm so that it can be enjoyed by the people of Victoria in line with the wishes of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch”. It has been reported that Dame Elisabeth had envisaged and planned for the land sale. She had planted a row of trees to the south of the house and lake in the expectation the paddocks beyond could be sold for housing. Cruden Farm is open to the public on select days but the trustees have stated that money from land sales would allow the garden to be opened free of charge five days a week, including weekends. Subdivided land is expected to yield $25-30 million. The plan is being opposed by several conservation groups including Friends of Langwarrin Outdoors and Waterways, which is concerned about loss of a habitat link, and Defenders of the South East Green Wedge, which is opposed to development in the green wedge.

Picture supplied

in the recently revamped Plan Melbourne 2017-2050 as the boundary will have to be moved to allow for the subdivision. It would have to be approved by Mr Wynne and ratified by both Victorian

houses of parliament. Cruden Farm is currently in a Rural Conservation Zone, which prohibits residential development. It will have to be rezoned to allow creation of 116 lots of between 600 and 800 square metres.

Book tells how people cope with disease and injury MT Eliza general practitioner Dr Mrin Nayagam has written a book about patients who overcame the odds in the face of serious medical conditions or a traumatic event. Silver Linings: True Stories of Human Resilience from a General Practice contains 22 true life stories depicting poignant moments shared between Dr Nayagam and her patients. Readers will meet people from all walks of life including “Kate”, diagnosed with cancer at only seven months old and now in full remission at age 10; “Rob”, an avid cyclist, bed-bound as a quadriplegic after a horrific accident, who now walks again; and “Linda” who weighed 115 kilograms and was suicidal, but found the strength to lose weight and overcome depression. The book has been published by The Bowen Street Press, a studentled publishing house based at RMIT University. Internationally renowned neurologist and academic Professor Edward Byrne (who wrote the book’s foreword) said: “Dr Nayagam takes us on a series of deeply personal journeys covering periods of stress, pain and fear for patients and their families, and showing how ordinary people cope when their health or the health

of a close family member impaired.” Jay Carmichael of The Bowen Street Press said the collection “highlights the continued importance of the doctor–patient relationship amid recent federal budget changes to Medicare and healthcare”. Dr Nayagam, who practices at Village Clinic Mt Eliza, said the stories were “true to life and will be an inspiration to readers of all ages”. The stories come from more than

25 years of her practice on the Mornington Peninsula. “The book’s title reflects the beacon of light that people need when their lives are drastically changed – in this case by a devastating medical diagnosis or a traumatic event,” Dr Nayagam said. “You cannot carry the world on your shoulders; you really need other people’s help. Asking for help does not mean that you are weak. Every-

one needs help sometimes and we all need to be shown compassion,” says Amy, a patient portrayed in Silver Linings. Sales profits will go to the Silver Linings Charitable Trust set up by Dr Nayagam to support financially disadvantaged Frankston residents. Village Clinic staff and clients have donated more than 5100 litres of nonperishable food items over 11 years to Community Support Frankston’s annual Christmas collection. Dr Nayagam is a former board member of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and inaugural chair of the Women in General Practice Committee. Her practice has received several awards. The book will be launched by Professor Leanne Rowe, former chair of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners Victoria faculty, on Saturday 5 August at Frankston Arts Centre’s Cube 37. The book costs $29.99 and is available from the author by emailing: mrin.nayagam@gmail.com It will also be available from Village Clinic Mt Eliza, Monash University bookshop at Clayton, and Peterson’s Bookshop in Hastings.

Pain a thing of the past thanks to better management By Jessica Mills BETTY Dyer was in constant pain after two failed knee replacements but that’s all in the past thanks to better pain management. “For some reason my body doesn’t accept knee replacements so I have chronic pain,” the Carrum Downs great-grandmother said. “I was just in pain all the time and on tablets, and I thought ‘I don’t want to live like this for the rest of my life’.” However, everything changed when Ms Dyer took part in an eight-week program run by Peninsula Health’s chronic pain management service at The Mornington Centre. “I told them my goal was to be able to get myself up off the ground if I fall over because a lot of people can’t kneel if they’ve had a knee replacement,” she said. “The chronic pain management service didn’t prescribe any medication whatsoever and, instead, gave me a paper where one doctor had written that you can kneel after a knee replacement if you really try.” The chronic pain management service taught Ms Dyer exercises to strengthen her knees and also how to meditate and do yoga. “After a few weeks of strengthening my knees I was home in the lounge room and I thought I’m going to do this so I slid onto the floor,” she said. “Then I thought, ‘Now I have to get up’ – so I slid into a kneeling position and I slowly got myself up. That was so amazing to me. My husband is 80 next year so he couldn’t be picking me up off the floor all the time! “Last time I fell over in the drive-

way I had to throw stones at the gate so the dog would bark and my husband would come to see what the dog was barking at and help me up.” Ms Dyer says she is no longer afraid of falling “now I know I can get up”. “I can’t speak highly enough” of the chronic pain management service. “I’m pleased with it; I think it’s just wonderful. “They teach you to concentrate and try and get your mind over the power of what the aching and pains do to you. You have to really believe in it to

be able to benefit from it like I did.” Ms Dyer said she would continue to do all of the things she learnt from the pain management service. “It’s great to be pain-free and spend more time with my 10 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.” To access the chronic pain management service, get a referral from a health professional to referral service ACCESS (fax 9784 2309).

Man sought over Mt Eliza sex attack POLICE are appealing for help to identify a man who sexually assaulted a teenage girl in Mt Eliza last year. The attack so traumatised the girl that she was unable to report it to police for more than a year. Just before midnight, Saturday 7 May, the 16-year-old left a party at Toorak College to walk home with a few friends along Old Mornington Rd. Her friends were collected and she continued walking alone. Soon after, she heard two men calling out from behind. She turned but could not see them in the dark. The girl, now 17, told police she was grabbed from behind and pulled into bushes between Williams Rd and TiTree Lane. She was then sexually assaulted by one man while the other kept a lookout. The men fled after the attack. “This was a senseless and vicious attack on an innocent young woman who, prior to the offence, had been enjoying a nice evening with friends,” Detective Senior Constable Laura Colley, of the Sexual Crimes Squad, said. “[She] was so emotionally traumatised as a result of the attack that she felt unable to report it to police until a year later.” Senior Constable Colley wants members of the public to contact police if they saw anything suspicious around midnight on 7 May 2016 in the Williams Rd and Ti-Tree Lane area of Mt Eliza. “Any piece of information could assist police to identify who is responsible and bring them to justice.” The first man is described as being

A face-fit image of a man police think can assist with their inquiries into an alleged sex assault in Mt Eliza more than one year ago.

Caucasian, 187cm tall, 18-19 years old, fit looking with a round face, small features and short dark hair. He was wearing khaki shorts, grey t-shirt and a dark coloured jumper or jacket with a hood, black socks and black running shoes. He had a deep voice with an Australian accent. The second man was Caucasian with possibly a darker skin tone than the other. He was wearing a dark coloured hoodie or jacket with a hood over his head and black running shoes. Anyone who can help should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or visit or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au Stephen Taylor

Pull up your socks, but don’t claim them THE Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is increasing attention, scrutiny and education on work-related expenses this tax time. Assistant Commissioner Kath Anderson said that last year over 6.3 million people made a work-related expense claim for clothing and laundry expenses, totalling almost $1.8 billion. “We have seen claims for clothing and laundry expenses increase around 20 per cent over the last five years. While this increase isn’t a sign that all of these taxpayers are doing the wrong thing, it is giving us a reason to pay extra attention,” she said. Ms Anderson said common mistakes the ATO has seen include people claiming ineligible clothing, claiming for something without having spent the money, and not being able to explain the basis for how the claim was calculated. “I heard a story recently about a taxpayer purchasing everyday clothes who was told by the sales assistant that they could claim a deduction for the clothing if they also wore them to work,”

Ms Anderson said. “This is not the case. You can’t claim a deduction for everyday clothing you bought to wear to work, even if your employer tells you to wear a certain colour or you have a dress code,” she said. “For your clothing to be eligible for a deduction, it needs to be occupation-specific clothing, protective clothing or a uniform that is unique to the organisation you work for,” she said. Ms Anderson said it is a myth that you can claim a standard deduction of $150 without spending money on appropriate clothing or laundry. She said that while record keeping requirements for laundry expenses are relaxed for claims up to this threshold, taxpayers do need to be able to show how they calculated their deduction. “Over 1.6 million taxpayers claim a deduction of exactly $150. We expect many of these claims to be legitimate but the results of our random audits show that people are making mistakes.” Ms Anderson said there are three golden rules

to follow which will help taxpayers to get their deductions right. “One – you have to have spent the money yourself and can’t have been reimbursed, two – the claim must be directly related to earning your income, and three – you need a record to prove it,” she said. “The myDeductions tool in the ATO app is also a great way to make keeping records for your deductions easier. If you start using it now, next tax time will be a breeze because you can send your deductions to your tax agent or upload them directly to myTax.” It is important to remember, whether you lodge your own tax return or go to an agent, you need to be aware of what you can and can’t claim. If you use an agent, you are still responsible for making sure your deductions are correct.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Australians “not uncivilized” says YMCA’s military secretary Compiled by Cameron McCullough “IN some undefined way a good many people here seem to think an Australian is an uncivilised sort of being, and get a pleasant surprise when they find out what a wrong impression they have had of our boys.” Thus writes from France Jas. R. Falconer, military secretary of the Y.M.C.A. “I have been able” he continues, “to get in touch with a large number of the boys, and I never lose an opportunity of doing all I possibly can to help them. “What has struck visitors to this hut has been the fervent attitude of the men while we are having family prayers in the evening. “We who work continually among them know the stirling worth of the boys from Down Under, and I deem it an honor to be able to do anything for them. “During the month we have had rather warm weather, and that has helped us all to be cheerful. I expect to be moving forward to the firing line at any moment now, and I look forward with great pleasure to getting among the boys in the trenches. I keep splendid and fit for anything.” *** DONATIONS have been received by the secretary of the “Wattle” Club of £1 1s from Mr Pearson, and 10s from Mr Mann. *** THE members of the Moorooduc Progress Association intend holding a plain and fancy dress ball in aid of the ball funds on Thursday evening, 30th August. *** FOR Chronic Chest Complaints,

WILSON The Church was filled on Saturday evening last when a farewell social was tendered to Cp Wilson. Mr Marshall occupied the chair. An apology was received from Mr W. M. Green, President of the Progress Association owing to the inclement weather and a bad cold. Mr Marshall in his usual style spoke of the great sacrifice the guest of the evening was making in leaving a wife and family to answer to call of his country and uphold the honor of the British Race. Mr Dicker spoke on behalf of the Progress Association eulogising Cpl Wilson for the stand he had taken and wished him God speed and a safe

return. A number of items were given by the following–Misses Vines and Marshall, and Messrs Cowan, Harley and Scott, which were greatly appreciated. Mr Marshall then presented Cpl Wilson with a fountain pen and trusted it would be of some service to him while away. Cpl Wilson briefly responded, after which tea and cakes were served by the ladies in their usual efficient style. *** TO Our Subscribers.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Dorito Chip of Destiny By Stuart McCullough I LIKE that it’s ambiguous. That it can mean anything and everything; that it’s significance can be shaped to suit the circumstances. Sometimes I claim it’s a dog bite, on other occasions that it’s a souvenir from a shark attack. My brother simply refers to it as ‘the Dorito’ on account of its shape. But whatever story you attach to it, there’s no getting around the fact that there’s a big, ugly scar on my forearm. It changes colour. Kind of like a mood ring. Sometimes the scar tissue is a deep, voluminous purple. On cold days, especially, it’s a royal puce. Other times it has a distinctly pinkish hue. I’d like to think that it reads my thoughts and alters its shade accordingly, but I’ll concede that it probably says more about the state of the air conditioning than it does my state of mind. I’m told that, over time, it’ll become less pronounced but, for the time being, there are days when it all but glows. There wasn’t always a scar. Before the scar there was a dot. Or, to be more precise, a mole. The term ‘mole’ is appropriate – and not just in a dermatological sense. It was, so I was to learn, secretly undermining me even as it enjoyed the hospitality of my forearm. Ingrate. I’d ignored it because the big brown dot had been around for ages and wasn’t really any different to the assorted freckles and spots I’d collected. That said, if I’m being completely honest, there was a point when it started to change. In particular, I could swear it was getting bigger. As I do with so many things, I ignored

it in the belief that it would take care of itself. I went to a Saturday morning exercise class. Ostensibly, this was to build some upper body strength but it was the type of activity in which you spend an hour doing all kinds of stretches and lunges and discover how little balance you have. It was common for

me to fall over, something I routinely blamed on the appalling music. After class, one of the other participants came running over. At first I thought she was going to compliment me on my technique when toppling over. Instead, she pointed to the big brown dot and urged me to have someone look at it.

When a stranger gives you unsolicited advice, you can respond in one of two ways. One of which is to be offended. There’s something about an intervention that can put you off. In defending yourself, you often reject the advice out of hand. The other is to accept things in the spirit in which they’re offered. I was somewhat encouraged when the person revealed that she was, in fact, a doctor. The following expressions are things you’d prefer not to hear come th out ou of the mouth of a general practitioner: ‘wow’, ‘oh’ and ‘sweet mercy’. tio My doctor used all of these while inspecting my skin and was mightily concerned about the big brown dot. Sitting on the edge of the examination table, I could only think of how lucky I was that I’d turned up to exercise class. When it comes to testing for melanoma, there’s something of an irony. To test it, they need to cut the sucker out. In many respects, this seems a lot like knocking down your house to check for termites, but I didn’t feel I was in a position to quibble. There’s no haggling when it comes to these things. None at all. If there’s something I’ve learned, it’s that every circumstance demands it’s own pamphlet. When the results come through, I was told that one of moles was harmless, albeit ugly, although I can’t help but note that there’s no offer to put it back. The big brown dot, however, was a melanoma. This means that removing it was a very good thing. It also means that I get a booklet with lots of information

21 JULY – 17 SEPTEMBER 2017

LEADING LADIES OF YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW Constance Stokes (1906-1991) is one of the leading artists of her generation. She travelled and studied in London and Paris, and in 1953 exhibited at the Royal Academy in London alongside Arthur Boyd, Russell Drysdale and Sidney Nolan. This exhibition is the most expansive survey undertaken of this important artist, featuring over 35 key paintings and drawings, covering the breadth of Stokes’s 60 year artistic practice. Never before seen archival material from the artist’s estate, including journals, sketchbooks, letters, photographs and drawings will be showcased, providing a fascinating insight into her little known life and exceptional artistic practice. In 1929 Constance won the Travelling Scholarship at the National Gallery School, Melbourne, to study for two years at the Royal Academy in London. During her time abroad, Constance spent a period studying under the French Cubist artist André Lhote in Paris and visited the major galleries in Europe. Her early career is shaped through her struggle to be an artist alongside expectations of marriage and family life. Further opportunities abroad and the consolidation of her classical painting style were a feature of Stokes’s mid-career. In 1953 she was one of 12 Australian artists, and only one of two women artists, included in an exhibition at Burlington Galleries, London, alongside Arthur Boyd, William Dobell, Russell Drysdale, Lloyd Rees, Donald Friend, and Sidney Nolan.

Stokes had a late career flourish in her 70s, embedding a Matisse-inspired vibrancy and freedom of form and colour in some of the strongest work she produced. MORNINGTON PENINSULA REGIONAL GALLERY. Exhibition dates: 21 July – 17 September. Location: Civic Reserve, Dunns Road, Mornington. Gallery Hours: Tuesday– Sunday 10am–5pm. Exhibition admission fees: $4 adults / $2 concession. 5950 1580. www.mprg.mornpen.vic.gov.au

on melanoma. It even has space for me to make notes, but instead I drew a picture of a small bird. I’m not sure why. And even though they’ve already cut the thing out, the treatment for a melanoma of this particular size, is to remove more skin by performing a ‘wide excision’. Despite the fact that we’re removing skin from my forearm, I still have to wear the buttock-exposing surgical gown. In a word it feels… breezy. I’m also beginning to regret catching the train to the hospital. Once there, I have my first general anesthetic in about twenty years but it all goes well and, before long, I’m in recovery with a bandage so impressive that Boris Karloff would weep with envy. They test the skin and it gets the ‘all clear’, but no one offers to return it. Presumably they’ll sell it on E-bay. For now, I have three-monthly checkups. These involve lying on a table in the almost altogether while someone looks over my skin with a magnifying glass. At the last appointment, the doctor described my skin as a ‘full time job’, which I’ve decided to take as a compliment. At some point along the way, all of us will hear the word ‘cancer’. I think of it whenever I see the Dorito-shaped scar on my forearm. Mostly, though, I feel lucky. Lucky because a stranger took a chance to give me unsolicited advice. Lucky that it was just in time. Lucky that there was something I could do about it. Lucky, most of all, in spite of myself. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Pythons feel the squeeze after two losses PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt PINES has lost its second game in succession after going down to Mt Eliza in a scrappy affair on Saturday at Emil Madsen Reserve. Bad kicking at goal was the story of the day, the Pythons booting 3.9 in the second quarter while Mt Eliza responded with 1.8 in the third quarter. The total ratio for the day was 14.31. The visitors, who have a historical bad record against Mt Eliza, led by 15 points going into the final quarter. However, Mt Eliza, through the likes of youngsters Lachy Young in his third game and Finlay Bayne and Tom Small in their second games were able to boot four goals to one in the final term to win 7.17 (59) to 7.14 (56). Matt Lillie was also back in the seniors after a lengthy spell. Sam Gill was back also, as was Robbie Turnball, Jimmy Freeman and James Anwyl – all missing against Frankston YCW. However, the likes of Jay Neratzoglou, Dave Barton, Grant Goodall and Shaun Knott didn’t play, so the Redlegs just can’t get their best on the park at once. The glaring omission for Pines was Aaron Edwards. He has missed the past two games and the Pythons have lost both matches. Is it a case of no Edwards, no Pines? Time is going to tell.

ache behind them and led all afternoon to win its first game of the season on Saturday against Chelsea. It was good reward for the playing group, who have stuck fat, while coach Brad Dredge is widely respected by his fellow coaches and has been thrown the toughest job in the business. There has been enormous rumour and innuendo surrounding the club in

the past couple of weeks especially, including the club being in financial crisis, however the players were able to put all that behind them and win against the odds. Chelsea challenged in the final term, however Langwarrin was able to holdon and win 8.12 (60) to 6.12 (48). Mitch Cuthbert was outstanding for the Kangas with a couple of goals, Gerard Brown led from the front as

he has all season and Kye Whitford played his best game. Seaford regained a bit of its mojo on Saturday and went within a kick of upsetting Frankston YCW is a low scoring match. Both sides jumped out of the blocks and it was four goals to three at quarter time, however, scoring dried up with the Stonecats kicking only three more goals for the game and Seaford boot-

ing four. The final score was 7.8 (50) to 7.4 (46). Byron Barry and Matty LaFontaine were significant in the win for the Stonecats while Brad Doyle and Tommy Shaw were excellent for the Tigers. A big game this weekend between Seaford and Mt Eliza. RPP FM will be there to bring the match live on 98.7FM. Edithvale-Aspendale made it three wins on the trot with an emphatic victory against Karingal. The Eagles restricted Karingal to just three goals for the game, winning 9.9 (63) to 3.7 (25). Bonbeach coach Steve Hughes said on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that he believed the Eagles were the ‘smokies’ this season. “I believe they have one of the best forward groups in the competition and they have great pace. They’ll be very dangerous if they make the finals,” Hughes said. Meanwhile, Hughes’ team, Bonbeach, had a great 10.12 (72) to 5.11 (41) victory against Mornington. The stronger bodies of the Sharks was the key difference after quarter time, which saw the visitors boot seven goals to two. Bonbeach’s best players Dylan Jones and Shane McDonald were excellent, while Mark Tyrell and Greg Vassallo were also outstanding.

Stage is set for a Red Hill ripper NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt THE stage has been set for one of the games of the season this Saturday at the Red Hill Showgrounds when the home side hosts Dromana for a place in the 2017 Nepean Division finals. There are just four home and away matches remaining for the season but there is no bigger one for the Hillmen and Tigers. Going in, there are four points and one and a half percent between the teams. Dromana has the additional game up its sleeve and the Hillmen have the slightly better percentage (116 to 114.8). In the matches to follow, Dromana plays Somerville, Pearcedale and Rye. Red Hill plays Devon Meadows, Crib Point and Tyabb. Now, the draw looks a little easier for the Hillmen, however, they simply must win this week to be any chance of playing finals. Two games out with three games remaining just doesn’t work for them. This week, both sides are coming off solid performances. Dromana has pushed both Frankston Bombers and Sorrento in successive weeks, both after giving up large quarter time leads. Red Hill’s form hasn’t been as consistent. However, its performance against Somerville on Saturday was terrific. The Hillmen led by four points at halftime but took total control in the second half, booting eight goals to three to win 13.12 (90) to 7.11 (53). Chris Irving was swung forward in the second half and again proved a handful, booting four goals, while Jake

Mold was the best player on the ground with a couple of goals also. Matt Mitchell had a tagging role and carried it out sensationally. Tom Roberts in his second senior game was superb for the Eagles. He was one of five Under 19s who took to the field for Somerville on Saturday and one of 10 Under 19s to make their debut in 2017. Despite missing the 2017 finals, it’s hard not to think that the Eagles did not take a step forward this season. Of course it lost of course Jedd Sutton with a shattered knee cap and Bryce Kellerman with a broken leg last week, however, word is that coach Bevan Malloy has his side in great shape both on and off the field for the future. Not surprising at all. Dromana gave Sorrento a 40 point head start and only lost by eight points, 11.9 (75) to 10.7 (67). The margin was 35 points at three quarter time but the Tigers booted five goals to one in the last to get within a sniff. The more impressive thing for Dromana was the fact that they restricted the Sharks to 11 goals, something no club has been able to do this season. They did it without Sam Fowler and Ryan Smyth, two important players. They’ll need them both this week against Red Hill. Hastings conceded the first four goals against Frankston Bombers, trailed by 24 points at quarter time and lost by four points. If not for a dip in concentration for five minutes in the last quarter, Hastings would have won. The Bombers were pretty much at full strength while the Blues went in without Brendan Dunne, Brouwer, Green, Luke Smith and Luke Hewitt. Smith

and Hewitt won’t play again this season. Dunne is unlikely for the remainder of the home and away series. Corey Buchan and Ryan MarksLogan were the difference between the sides for the Bombers, along with Alex Harnett through the middle. Shaun Foster and Matt Clifford were outstanding for the Blues and Steven Robb played one of his best games for the season. Tyabb was celebrating hard on Saturday night after winning its first game for the season. In a ding-dong battle with Devon Meadows, the Yabbies came home strong and booted three goals to four behinds in the last quarter to win 10.6 (66) to 8.11 (59). The Yabbies form in recent weeks has proven to be extremely competitive. It had its chances against Pearcedale and was superb against Rosebud. It was a well deserved win for the club, which has stuck fat with one another and continued to improve throughout the season. There’s no reason to think the Yabbies can’t continue to improve. Rosebud was able to shake off Rye in the final quarter, booting eight goals to one to win 17.15 (117) to 9.5 (59). The Buds had 11 goal kickers while Jack Jarman and Greg Bentley were outstanding. Pearcedale got the jump on Crib Point in the opening quarter of their match and were able to sustain a match winning victory throughout, winning 13.12 (90) to 8.9 (57). The margin was 27 points at quarter time and although the goals were eight to seven in the next three quarters, the Dales were never in trouble.

AFL South East get serious By Toe Punt AFL South East has continued to flex its muscle, informing clubs through the week that an integrity officer is about to be appointed and sent in to clubs to begin salary cap investigations. As part of the implementation and enforcement of the Player Payment Rules, AFL South East will conduct several club reviews during the remainder of this season. If not reviewed in 2017, clubs can expect to be reviewed over the next four or five years. AFL South East General Manager John Anderson said some clubs could

possibly be reviewed on more than one occasion. According to Mr Anderson, in 2017 (and beyond), the clubs selected for review will be based on any one of several criteria, including the following:  Those clubs with historical high levels of player expenditure  Clubs experiencing ongoing on field success  Clubs which are near to the maximum allocated points  Those clubs who have recruited players with high points  Recommendations from the Regional General Manager  Random selections

Clubs selected for 2017 will be notified shortly so that some of the reviews can be completed prior to the finals, and others may or may not include a review after finals. “In accordance with the Player Payment Rules, most clubs in the region have now entered the necessary information on to the online portal,” Mr Andersons said. “AFL Victoria is finalising the accreditation of a number of Integrity Officers who will be conducting these reviews. “It is suggested club officials become familiar with the rules including sections 6 and 7 which details the process for providing information to

the Integrity Officer as part of this review process,” Mr Anderson said. Meanwhile, in relation to the senior football review, there has been no word from league headquarters, however, MPNFL Clubs have been busy in the past fortnight ensuring they are positioned to manage any decision that has been handed down by the commission. It is also believed that AFL South East commission chairman Roger Hampson was on the campaign trail on Saturday at Pearcedale. It is also believed that regardless of the feedback of MPNFL clubs, a three-division structure, including SENFL clubs, will be recommended

by the working party and subsequently handed down by the commission. It is believed that the Division One structure will not include any Nepean club, not even Sorrento or Rosebud, and will only have 10 teams, made up of Peninsula and SENFL clubs (Cranbourne, Beaconsfield, Narre Warren and Berwick). Division Two (12 clubs) will be mostly made up of Nepean clubs, with the exception of Devon Meadows, Pearcedale, Crib Point and Tyabb. Division three would include those Nepean clubs, along with the likes of Hampton Park, Tooradin, ROC, Pakenham, Langwarrin, Chelsea and Karingal.

Acs error costly, Skye back in second spot SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie A RARE mistake from goalkeeper Robbie Acs led to State 1 South-East leader Langwarrin losing its second match of the season at Lawton Park last weekend. A corner from Warragul United’s Stephen Maselli in the 43rd minute was misjudged by the veteran keeper who tried to punch clear but the ball ended up in the back of the Langy net for the visitors’ third goal in four minutes during a frenetic finish to the first half. Langy had taken a 13th minute lead after gun striker Liam Baxter was felled inside the area and converted from the spot. Former Langy star and Warragul captain Thomas Ahmadzai levelled with a volley in the 39th minute and Rory Wagner’s looping header a minute later following a long free-kick from Robbie Stephen put the visitors 2-1 up. Acs’ howler gave Warragul a two-goal cushion at the break but minutes after the restart Langy central defender Kieron Kenny’s header from Connor Belger’s corner made it 3-2. However that was the only breakthrough the home side could fashion in the second stanza which reached flashpoint in the 61st minute resulting in a melee which saw Wagner and Langy defender George Whiteoak sent off for violent conduct. The result cuts Langy’s lead to four points and although Gus Macleod’s men face a challenging away clash against St Kilda next weekend fourth-placed Warragul host Caulfield United Cobras, Langy’s closest challenger. Mornington easily accounted for bottom team Mooroolbark 4-0 at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday to record its fourth straight win. Scott Millar gave the home side a 1-0 half-time lead with a header from a Sammy Orritt cross and a minute into the second half Orritt’s shot came off the post and struck Marinos Panayi and went in. With Ryan Paczkowski suspended former Bentleigh Greens and Eastern Lions striker Panayi was making his first start for Mornington and added a second in the 62nd minute via a back post header. Orritt has been in scintillating form since joining the club from New Zealand last month and completed the scoreline in the 64th minute by dinking the ball over a defender then lobbing it neatly over Mooroolbark keeper Matt King. Peninsula Strikers and Seaford United had to settle for a share of the spoils as they battled to a 2-2 draw in their State 2 South-East derby at

Centenary Park on Saturday. Strikers could have opened the scoring in the 16th minute had young Grant Davies showed more composure as he ran onto Trevor Johnston’s attempted chip only to shoot across the face of the Seaford goal. Three minutes later Seaford hit the front from a Matty Morris-Thomas free kick which presented Daniel Mota with a free header and he made no mistake. What was to become an injury ravaged affair started in the 30th minute when Strikers’ veteran left back Troy Williams hobbled off to be replaced by beanpole forward Callum Mitchell who had played in the reserves. Two minutes later Seaford star Dylan Waugh was forced off with a hamstring injury and replaced by quicksilver striker Mitch Lander. Teenager Mitchell had only been on the pitch for three minutes before making his mark. He made Seaford pay dearly for not clearing a free kick to the far post with a close range left-footed volley that gave Seaford keeper Harrison Burgess no chance. Seaford could have regained the lead in the 40th minute had Lander been able to get a touch to a long through ball with Strikers keeper Colin McCormack well off his line. Strikers ace Aziz Bayeh had to be replaced in the 47th minute and two minutes later Seaford was back in front. Strikers’ defender Conor Keely did well to slide and block a Lander shot but Strikers failed to clear from the resultant corner and Lander spun around and finished from point blank range to make it 2-1.

But Strikers hit back a second time when a superb cross from Tom Hawkins on the right set up Mitchell at the back post in the 57th minute and his firm header gave Burgess no chance. Veteran defender Chris McKenna was forced off with a groin strain and Lander burst through in the 58th minute but McCormack made an excellent save with his feet. Hawkins combined well with workhorse Raphael Stulz in the 73rd minute but his cross from the right flashed across the face of the Seaford goal. The final act came in the 94th minute when Morris-Thomas struck a well-timed half-volley only to see McCormack parry wide. Strikers will welcome back central midfield duo Sam Scott and Danny Brooks from suspension for Saturday’s crunch fixture against Frankston Pines. A Ronir Muriqi hat-trick at Monterey Reserve on Saturday maintained Doveton’s State 2 South-East title tilt and kept Pines in the midst of the relegation battle. Muriqi’s opening goal came via a 43rd minute free-kick, his second from the penalty spot a minute into the second half and his third in the 64th minute was a tap in at the back post. Skye United played host to cellar dweller Riversdale in Saturday’s State 3 South-East encounter and moved to second on the ladder following a 2-0 victory. Striker Daniel Attard kicked off proceedings less than 10 minutes in when he got on the end of a Jason Nowakowski through ball. Riversdale keeper Nicholas May

was caught in no man’s land as Attard looped his header over him and into the unguarded goal. It took until the 60th minute for Skye to find the scoresheet again when Marcus Collier’s cut back found Lawrence Komba and the striker finished well. Baxter emerged victorious after a nine-goal thriller at Baxter Park on Saturday in a State 4 South clash with Keysborough. The visitors led 2-0 at half-time thanks to Jose Roa’s solid side-foot finish from close range in the 13th minute and Ali Husen’s 44th minute strike. Alan Lipsett replaced Edin Aljija at the break and Grady Vickers replaced Dan Disseldorp in the 56th minutes and both proved to be inspired moves from Baxter gaffer Roy Kilner. Lipsett struck a shot that went in off the post in the 57th minute and two minutes later scores were level after a superb move involving Vickers and Lipsett which led to Mark Pagliarulo’s shot rebounding off a post and being converted by teenager Travis Ernsdoerfer. A stunning strike from teenager Jack Gallagher in the 68th minute made it 3-2 and Lipsett made it 4-2 in the 72nd minute. Deni Tintor converted from the penalty spot in the 83rd minute to make it 4-3 but Baxter’s two-goal cushion was restored two minutes later thanks to a superb solo effort by Pagliarulo. Keysborough’s Husen got his second in the 90th minute but Baxter’s comeback was complete. Rosebud Heart was beaten 3-0 at home by title contender Dandenong South last Saturday.

Heart had a severely depleted matchday squad with Liam Christodoulou and Dino Vosjan, both 17-year-olds, and Aaron Young and Ash Scoles all promoted from the reserves. Three goals in seven minutes from Tommy Bekiri settled the issue in the first half. Bekiri stole the ball from Scholes in the 24th minute and slotted it past Heart keeper Sean Skelly. Five minutes later Bekiri was sent through and made it 2-0 after a poor pass by Will O’Brien turned over possession in midfield and Bekiri’s free header from a free-kick in the 31st minute completed the damage. Heart hopes to sign former Langy and Baxter midfielder Tony Orr this week. Saturday’s State 5 South fixture featuring home team Somerville Eagles and Pakenham United was called off as the pitch at Barber Reserve was ruled unplayable. It could pose an ongoing problem for the fledgling club which shares the venue with the local footy club. “We have only trained there once in the last fortnight and we knew it was getting soft so we only trained off the pitch that night,” said Eagles president Felix Arena. “But the footy club train all over the pitch two nights a week and that’s what’s killed it off.” Southern United’s trip to Wembley Park to take on Box Hill United last Saturday was successful as the local women’s NPL side came away with two wins and two draws. The senior side won 1-0 thanks to a 48th minute goal from captain Candela Ferreyra Bas and remains in fifth spot in the elite league. The under-13s maintained their four-point lead at the top of the table with a 4-1 win with goals from Rhys McKenna (17th minute), Alessandra Davis (42nd) and Sage Kirby (34th, 44th). The under-15s drew 0-0 and the under-18s drew 1-1 with Kallista Tzelios scoring for Southern. This weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Southern Utd v Calder Utd (Monterey Reserve, U13s 10am, U15s 11.30am, U18s 1pm), St Kilda v Langwarrin (Elwood Park), South Springvale v Mornington (Warner Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Frankston Pines (Centenary Park), Mazenod Utd v Seaford Utd (Mazenod College), South Yarra v Skye Utd (Fawkner Park), Endeavour Hills Fire v Baxter (Power Reserve), Keysborough v Rosebud Heart (Coomoora Reserve), Somerville Eagles v Dandenong Warriors (Barber Reserve).

Hockey women secure spots in state teams By Ben Triandafillou FOUR women from the Mornington Peninsula Hockey Club have been selected to join Victorian state sides playing in Newcastle, NSW, in late September. Emma Brown and Kim Trezise are in the over-35 Victorian Masters team. Trezise, 39, of Dromana will return to the over-35s after playing last year with the representative side while Brown, 35, of Mornington will be making her debut for the over-35 state team. “I started my family young and with university and then work, hockey took a back seat so I’m very happy to be in a representative side again,” Trezise said. “My family is very proud and I love representing the club and the peninsula.” Brown, who captains the Mornington Peninsula Hockey Club’s Victorian League One side, is hoping to make an impact in her first match

with a Victorian team. “I feel extremely proud and excited to have the opportunity to represent my state and can’t wait to get there,” Brown said. Margaret Nettleship, 72, of Moorooduc will play in goal for the over65 state team. “I’ve been playing since I was about 13 and it’s nice to keep going and still be able to play,” she said. “They will probably have about four or five teams in the tournament and some of these women are just amazing. “These ladies have played for a long time and are still very fit. It’ll be quite a good competition.” Also playing in goal, Julia Ashmore, of the southeastern suburbs, will join the over-45 state team. Ashmore has represented Victoria three times and said that “it’s still a great feeling to be selected to represent your state”.

Junior tennis player overcomes rare childhood condition By Ben Triandafillou A MORNINGTON tennis player has made the most of a devastating situation. Riley Dumsday, 12, was diagnosed with a rare childhood condition called Perthes’ disease in 2011, which has made him unable to put pressure on his right leg and forced him to use a wheelchair. But Dumsday hasn’t let the condition hold him back and returned home with two trophies from the Queensland Wheelchair Tennis Open on 28 June. He took out the under-18 doubles with partner Marcus Lentini and finished runner-up in boys under-18s singles. Riley’s father, Steve Dumsday, said Riley had come a long way since starting wheelchair tennis about a year and a half ago. “He was just starting to get into tennis and was being coached in Mornington,” Dumsday said. Then the disease struck. “The disease affected his hip and ball socket, cutting off blood flow. “We then contacted Tennis Australia and had a wheelchair come and try session.

“He has now joined the wheelchair development camp and plays around Australia at International Tennis Federation tournaments.” Since the start of the year, Riley has risen from 65 in junior world singles rankings to 35. Riley is regularly coached by Alex Barnikov at Mornington Tennis Centre as part of the Elite Tennis Academy. Elite Tennis Academy director Kate Antosik said it is amazing to see what Riley had accomplished in such a short time. “He has gone from being quite upset about being put into this situation to now being proud of what he has achieved,” she said. “He had never played a tournament before playing wheelchair tennis so it’s amazing to see him playing against some of the top juniors in Australia. “He has one of the hardest work ethics.” Riley is heading to Canberra for his third ITF tournament in September. He is also looking forward to playing one of his original sports, basketball, with the upcoming start of wheelchair basketball in Mornington.

By Ben Triandafillou THE first event of the AFL South East’s annual ‘Women in Sport’ Lunch was held at Mornington Racecourse on Friday 21 July. The event was to celebrate women in sport on the Mornington Peninsula with a focus on football. “While it was football biased with the major growth in Women’s AFL, it was also about looking at other achievements from women in sport and the opportunities that are now available,” AFLSE commercial manager Peter Maynard said. “It was a fantastic event, a great day and a good crowd.” The event had a turnout of about 120 people and was MC’d by sports broadcaster Tiffany Cherry. Cherry was joined by special guests Susan Alberti, AFL journalist Caroline Wilson and Collingwood’s AFLW Coach Wayne Siekman. “It was interesting to listen to the keynote speaker, Susan Alberti, who was somewhat the pioneer of AFLW and hearing from Caroline Wilson about women in sport behind-thescenes,” Maynard said. AFLSE will be hosting a second ‘Women in Sport’ lunch on Friday 11 August at Holm Park, Beaconsfield with slightly different guest speakers. Cherry will again MC the event with Melbourne Football Club CEO Peter Jackson, ex-Australian netball player Bianca Chatfield, Western Bulldogs marque player Ellie Blackburn and AFLW player Debbie Lee.
