Stadium talks break down Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au BASKETBALL courts could be built elsewhere and not at Seaford’s Frankston Basketball Stadium if a council proposal goes ahead. Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton has confirmed council is looking at “delivering improved basketball facili-

ties at alternative locations” after lease negotiations between council and the Frankston & District Basketball Association (FDBA) collapsed late last year. Federal Liberal Dunkley MP Chris Crewther called a “last shot” meeting this month to try to get council and the FBDA to reopen talks and save $5.2 million in federal funding for the Frankston area that was to go towards

a $12.9 million first stage upgrade of Frankston Basketball Stadium to include four extra indoor basketball courts, bringing the total to ten, and improved seating and amenities for players and spectators. “The discussion indicated to council that the FDBA had not changed its unreasonable position which previously caused council to withdraw from the

project,” Cr Hampton said in a statement. The mayor’s statement about the meeting outcome was at odds with the FDBA’s observations about discussions. “There was a sense from all parties that the preferred outcome is for this much needed regional project to be delivered by expanding Frankston Basket-

ball stadium,” FDBA general manage Nathan Jolly said. Council was represented at the meeting by community development director Dr Gillian Kay and community strengthening manager Liz Daley. South Ward councillors Glenn Aitken and Quinn McCormack were also at the meeting. Continued Page 6

Sam’s sons honour dad

Bird ‘ranching’ for parrots THE federal government is partnering with Moonlit Sanctuary, Pearcedale to build an aviary for young orangebellied parrots to survive their first winter. Research has shown that a high proportion of the endangered parrots born in the wild fail to survive their first migration across Bass Strait to Tasmania. “With only 50 adults left in the wild, and around 350 adult birds in captivity, we need to increase the breeding population – every bird matters here,” Flinders Liberal MP Greg Hunt said. “Using this technique, known as ranching, the birds will be released back into the wild population in Tasmania next summer, increasing the breeding population in 2018-19.” Environment and Energy Minister Environment and Energy Josh Frydenberg said the government had “mobilised more than $6 million for projects to support the parrot since 2014”. “This includes multi-year emergency biosecurity measures, vaccination protocols for controlling pisttacine beak and feather disease - a key threat to the birds - and supporting recovery actions guided by the Orange-bellied Parrot Strategic Action Planning Group.” For details about the orange-bellied parrot and another 19 threatened birds go to environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/commissioner or call 1800 803 772.

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au HONOURING a father’s memory is on the mind of the family of a former manager at Frankston’s Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre. Ex-PARC building and asset leader Sam Newman, a Skye father of five, passed away last April after a long and difficult fight against leukaemia. Two of his sons Deagan, 6, and Kaden, 8, joined pa Michael Tinetti at the swim and sports centre on Friday 16 March to participate in the World’s Greatest Shave to raise money for The Leukaemia Foundation. Mr Tinetti plans to take part in the charity event each year and about $3500 was raised from hair shaving efforts this year. “For myself and my grandsons to do that in Sam’s honour is very much what we want to continue to do,” he said. “Our aim now is to try to assist The Leukaemia Foundation because they have been so good to my daughter and her family.” He said the boys’ father was “a man of integrity” and more than 600 people attended his funeral last year. PARC has named a Samuel Newman award for the organisation’s employee of the year in the former manager’s honour. Mr Tinetti said people can sponsor and still contribute to The Leukaemia Foundation after this year’s World’s Greatest Shave. “People can still sponsor people even if it’s not our family,” he said. An Aquatics and Recreation Victoria

statement in April last year said: “Sam worked his way up through the industry starting as a lifeguard and swim instructor in the early 2000s at Jubilee Park in Frankston. He held numerous positions at Frankston including duty manager and then swim school coordinator. “His affable nature and a permanent grin made him easy to love. “Everywhere Sam worked, he made many friends with his positive outlook

and easy going nature. He was a very generous soul with irrepressible loyalty. Sam will be sadly missed by everyone whose life he touched.” He is survived by wife Kerry-Louise and children Jarryn, 14, Braelan, 12, Kaden, 8, Deagan, 6, and Kaiya, 4. See worldsgreatestshave.com or call 1800 500 088 to donate to The Leukaemia Foundation.

We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

Dolphins’ domain A NAME change for the home of the Frankston Dolphins Football Club was announced last week as part of a major sponsorship on the eve of the club’s return to the VFL. Frankston Park will be known as the SkyBus Stadium for the next 12 months after the airport bus service operators decided to sponsor the footy club. The team was forced to sit out last year’s VFL season after entering voluntary liquidation before returning this year. “We value our role as an integral part of the Frankston and peninsula community, and thus the decision to sponsor Frankston FC is an easy one to make and we are honoured to have the stadium named after us,” SkyBus director and co-CEO Adam Begg said. “This sponsorship will assist the efforts of the Frankston Dolphins to field a strong and competitive team for the 2018 season. “More importantly, SkyBus’ support will also help the club pave the way for budding young AFL talent to develop, whilst also improving the oval and its facilities to become a ground that is conducive to train and compete and an important asset for the community.” Western Bulldogs premiership coach Luke Beveridge and Bulldogs premiership players Matthew Boyd and Tory Dickson are just some of the former Dolphins’ players who have gone on to play AFL football. “The entire community fought hard to win back our club’s VFL licence. I’ll be so proud to sit with the fans in

the SkyBus Stadium this season and cheer on the Frankston Dolphins,” Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said. “This is a great example of what we can achieve when we work together –

Friday night lights for Dolphins’ stadium LET there be lights was the declaration from state Liberal opposition leader Matthew Guy last week when he visited the Frankston Dolphins’ ground. Mr Guy and Liberal candidate for Frankston Michael Lamb pledged to spend $650,000 towards about $2 million needed for new lighting for night games and training at the newly monikered SkyBus Stadium if the Coalition wins government at November’s state election. “This lighting will vastly increase the versatility of the Frankston Dolphins VFL ground to cater for more games, training

and events,” Mr Lamb said. The Liberal pair could not resist a kick at the Labor state government led by Premier Daniel Andrews. Mr Guy said the Andrews government would “rather spend this money on a ballroom in Etihad Stadium”. The state government has announced a $300 million rebuild of the Melbourne stadium that mostly hosts AFL games. Mr Guy says he will instead divert that money to suburban sports grounds if he is premier. “Frankston deserves this cash a lot more than Etihad does and that is what I have fought for,” Mr Lamb said.

Slice of life at Council Lads’ Lounge goes it alone on basketball Continued from Page 1 “Regrettably Frankston City mayor Colin Hampton and council CEO Dennis Hovenden did not elect to attend the meeting which we hope is not symbolic of their unwillingness to work towards this much-needed community project being delivered that will benefit literally thousands of players, coaches, referees and volunteers who call Frankston Basketball home,” Mr Jolly said. Cr Hampton said council will notify the federal government of its plans to divert funding away from the Frankston Basketball Stadium. “A report will be presented to councillors for consideration and decision on options for the development of additional basketball facilities for Frankston City at the May Ordinary Meeting.” Mr Crewther says council can “rescope” the project for federal approval. It is understood council is considering upgrading basketball facilities at the Jubilee Park Netball Stadium. Basketball Victoria has previously indicated it does not support building extra basketball courts elsewhere and favours the upgrade to the existing Frankston Basketball Stadium. Council and the FDBA have been at odds over rent reviews, scope of future upgrade works, car parking arrangements at the stadium and council insisting on “line by line” FDBA accounts in addition to audited accounts provided.

A MONTHLY men’s forum will be held at the Frankston North Community Centre after an encouraging trial run last year. “The idea is to encourage local fellas to come along to share some food in the evening, swap yarns, some of which may actually be true, and be entertained by a visiting speaker,” co-organiser Bill Graham said. Recent meetings have featured the lads rolling out dough to make pizzas cooked in the centre’s new wood-fired oven to their own tastes. The next Lad’s Lounge will be held on Wednesday 4 April, 6pm at the Frankston North Community Centre, 26 Mahogany Avenue. Future meetings will take place on the first Wednesday of the month. Guest speaker at the 4 April event is Maori community leader Jeremy Nikora. Call Frankston Council engagement officer Jesse Sibly on 9768 1355 for more information.

Youth mayor reign begins THERE is a new mayor in town — a youth mayor. Frankston Council anointed its first Youth Mayor at this month’s public council meeting. Former Frankston High School student Gerard Felipe, 18, currently studying at university, donned the youth mayoral robes for a 12-month stint on 13 March. At the meeting he said he is focused on working to improve youth engagement and advocating for access to support against bullying. “This opportunity will allow me to speak up for youth who may not be willing to and stand side-by-side with those youth who can,” he said. “I admit I don’t have all the answers but I am willing to listen to other people’s ideas and perspectives, even when they contradict my own, for the greater good of the community.” Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton said the youth mayor program aims “to enable young people to develop exposure to the community and local government processes”. The program encourages 18-21 year olds “to take an active role within our community”, the mayor said. The inaugural youth mayor said he believed in following the example of Mahatma Gandhi who said: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” “I strongly believe the youth in the community are not just the leaders of tomorrow but we are also the leaders of today,” Mr Felipe said.

A NEW police unit will tackle the scourge of drug dealing and trafficking across the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region. The newly merged unit of Frankston and peninsula-based officers will be based at Mornington Police Station and will share information about dealers to crack down on drug-related crime. Detective Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb will lead the unit and has a simple message for drug traffickers. “If you’re a drug dealer rest assured we’re coming for you,” he said. Detective Lamb, also the Liberal Party preferred candidate for Frankston at November’s state election, said merging resources between Frankston and the peninsula will give police “more scope and ability to run more proactive operations”. “Drugs don’t stop at Humphries Road, dealers don’t respect area boundaries,” he said. Two detective sergeants and 12 investigators are on board to chase down drug dealers. Detective Lamb said crystal meth, also known as ice, is increasingly responsible for violent behaviour by offenders. He said he first noticed the spread of ice when he was a sergeant based at Hastings about ten years ago. “People we regularly had dealings with were not the same — they changed and started behaving violently.” Ice users can go on “four or five-day benders” and some also indulge in crime sprees in stolen cars. “We’ll have surge capacity to act quickly,” Detective Lamb said. He said ice use cuts across demographics and police have noticed some tradies using it since it initially “makes them feel great and they get lots done”. However, ice use soon takes a dark turn and people quickly become addicted amid a personality change for the worse. Police note cannabis growing in homes — vacant and otherwise — still remains on their radar.

Long arm of law: Detective Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb heads up new police unit targeting drug dealers across Frankston and peninsula region. Picture: Yanni

Highly-organised drugs operations are “funding organised crime”, Detective Lamb said, alongside “backyard operators” who believe they can produce crystal meth to sell from instructions sourced on the internet. He said police will actively oppose bail when anyone caught in the anti-drugs dragnet appears at court. Neil Walker

With Neil Walker

Blaze ‘suspicious’

A female occupant, aged in her 60s, awoke to find a new laptop and mobile phone had been stolen.

A MAN was treated for the after effects of smoke inhalation in the wake of a fire at Volitans Avenue, Mt Eliza on Tuesday 20 March. The 47-year-old heard “a crackling noise” and discovered the rear deck and fence on fire. CFA firefighters brought the blaze, described by police as “potentially suspicious” under control, and the fire caused about $20,000 worth of damage to the deck, fence, BBQ and deck furniture.

Forced entry

A BURGLAR forced entry into a Pelican Place garage in Mt Eliza and damaged a roller door trying to steal a car on Saturday 17 March. A handbag and purse was stolen from the property.

Bomb scare at court

pened the road after the bomb squad was called in to investigate using a robot to get close to “a suspicious device” outside the courthouse building. The suspicious device was found by a passing patrolling protective services officer (PSO). Eyewitnesses said it appeared a fuel container had been wired and taped up to look like an incendiary device in what seemed to be “a hoax”. Police have released an image, below, and CCTV footage of a man they believe can help with their enquiries. The man approached the front of the court and left an item at the front door at about 6.55am before running away. Frankston Crime Investigation Unit investigators believe a male, dressed in black clothing, standing near the shopping centre on Fletcher Road would have seen the man they are seeking to

identify as he fled and are urging him to contact Crime Stoppers.

Cash grab

TWO burglars stole cash from a Crestview Court home in Frankston South at about 5.15am on Sunday 18 March after opening a garage door. The duo walked past a female occupant of the house who was asleep and also helped themselves to a drink from the fridge. Police urge people to keep garages locked at all times of the day and night so intruders cannot gain access to garages and homes.

Laptop, mobile gone Two intruders entered a Charmaine Street house in Dromana through an unlocked sliding rear door.

Driver charged

Detectives from the Major Collision Investigation Unit have charged a teenage girl following a fatal crash in Frankston last year. A 19-year-old Safety Beach woman was charged on Sunday 18 March with culpable driving, dangerous driving causing death, driving in a manner dangerous, careless driving, driving whilst impaired by drugs, disobeying traffic control signal and possessing a drug of dependence. The charge follows a crash at the intersection of Cranbourne Road and Moorooduc Highway on 13 July last year where a 16-year-old girl from Mount Eliza died.

Detectives in Frankston have arrested and charged a 47-year-old Frankston woman following a series of alleged frauds involving the transfer of university tuition fees. Police investigated after reports that a number of students had large amounts of money stolen after paying an education consultancy agency to cover their university tuition fees. It is estimated that approximately $95,000 had been stolen from at least six victims since 2016. The Frankston woman has been charged with obtaining property by deception. Police say students using a third party provider should first check the company is legitimate before handing over money.

Bikies raided

STATE and federal police raided more than 40 properties including Nitro gyms in Carrum Downs, Mordialloc and Hallam in a money-laundering investigation involving the Comancheros outlaw motorcycle gang. Motorbikes, drugs, cash, computers and booze valued at more than $1 million were seized by police in the raid that also included a South Melbourne law firm and two accounting firms in Cranbourne and Eltham. Anyone with any information on any of the above incidents should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au online.

A MOTORBIKE rider came a cropper while fleeing coppers after clipping the wheel of a 4 wheel drive on Frankston-Flinders Road near Balnarring on Tuesday 20 March. The 33-year-old Bittern rider decided to avoid a police roadside testing operation at Hodgins Road and “booted it” on a Harley Davidson bike. His bike crossed the road line and clipped the 4WD travelling in the opposite direction along Frankston-Flinders Road. The rider, believed to be unlicensed, was airlifted to The Alfred hospital with a broken arm and leg and facial injuries. The driver of the 4WD was unharmed.

A Crib Point man who complained about noise from a nearby bar on Stony Point Road was punched repeatedly by five unwelcome male visitors shortly after his complaint. The man, in his 40s, was treated for injuries at the scene by ambulance paramedics. No description of the offenders was given.

Respect can end domestic violence My heartfelt thanks to the Southern Women’s Action Network (SWAN) recognising International Women’s Day with their guest speaker, [former Australian of the Year] Rosie Batty. Family violence is a national disgrace. One in three women are victims. One in four children are victims. Ms Batty acknowledged the unprecedented Royal Commission into Family Violence established by the Victorian Labor government. Furthermore, its commitment to adopting all recommendations. Rosie spoke of positive engagements within schools, police, health services and corporate businesses on this issue. Changes are beginning. However, our court system, child protective services and media regularly “blame the victim”. Without respectful relationships and equality, family violence will unfortunately continue. Jane Clarke, Rosebud

Centenary celebrations Good happy 100 cheers for the Baxter Primary School centenary 18 March when the pupils, parents and friends celebrated the wonderful achievements of this often forgotten and tucked away farming community. All are to be heartily congratulated on a marvellous effort despite the chilly start to that blustery Saturday and the eventual turnout of hundreds to enjoy the school choir, the Down South Big Band, Rault family duets, animal farm, CFA demonstrations, vintage cars, carnival attractions, historical presentations, a giant birthday cake accompanied by centenarian guests and lots of local art and craft, food and drink services. Not a politician or councillor in sight. Although Watson ward councillor Julie Morris had work commitments, it has been generally accepted Mornington Peninsula Shire policy to offer a

mayor or a deputy mayor for such important shire occasions. BRATPAC (Baxter residents and traders progress action committee) did a great job and, as our elected and paid representatives weren’t around, on behalf of us all who enjoyed the community joy and goodwill under difficult weather circumstances, thank you very much for your warm hospitality and community care. Ian Morrison, Mt Eliza, ex town crier for Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Say ‘no’ to water I have become aware of the proposal by Bayport Quarries wanting to extend the life of quarrying at its Somerville site. After having a win over the local residents and environmentalists opposition to the resumption of quarrying activities at the Somerville site after many years of discontinued work, Bayport is now asking for permission from the EPA to release groundwater ingress into its quarry, into the catchment of Balcombe creek. I hope the EPA is going to discourage Bayport from such a plan. The Balcombe Creek and its tributaries are under enough pressure from urban runoff and siltation and does not need more silt-laden water entering the environment. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Pensioners pay already I think the people most disadvantaged by Labor’s dividend imputation policy will be part pensioners; those people who have saved up a little for investments to supplement their pensions and receive a part pension in accordance with the asset value of their savings/investments. A couple who own their own home and have assets/savings of around $400,000 would receive

about $580 a week between them in age pension and would look for a safe investment for the $400,000 which would return a reasonable amount to supplement their pension. If they were to put their money into a savings account at about two per cent interest rate they would get about $154 a week to add to their pension; a total weekly income of $734. Not a lot of money. The situation is worse for those with a little more in savings and therefore have already had their pensions reduced by the LNP government’s new cut off point for assets in the means test, and the resultant steeper slope of pension reduction as assets increase. Therefore the pensioners look around for a better return from their $400,000. They cannot afford to buy a unit to let out so they invest half of it in shares of the type that return an average four per cent while accepting the risk of falls in their capital. That gives them a return of $154 a week plus about $51 a week as a tax return because of dividend imputation. This means the couple’s income is: pension $580, plus shares $205, plus bank interest $77; a total of $862 a week. If Labor wins government this couple’s income will be reduced to $811 a week. Age pensioners have already been hit with changes, so why should they be the ones called on to reduce the deficit? James McLoughlin, Balnarring

Act on parking Lack of parking in Frankston’s city centre is again an issue of community concern with the recent loss of parking spaces until at least September while the

train station is replaced. Station builders have been given free spaces in the station car park on Fletcher Road as well as the entire car park at 122 Young St. Like when Wells and Young streets were renovated, traders are being asked to accept short-term pain for long-term gain. But a huge opportunity has been lost with the state government decision to not include extra parking in the new station. It is time for the state government and Frankston Council to put their heads together and come up with long-term solutions to the lack of parking. Bayside Shopping Centre owner Vicinity Centres should be part of discussions. It’s interesting that Bayside has increased parking charges while comparable centres like Southland and Eastland offer shoppers free parking for the first three hours. Can’t we have this in Frankston? Frankston has suffered from lack of parking for more than 40 years. We have lost business to Karingal, Mt Eliza, Mornington and other nearby centres that have free and untimed parking. The authorities talk about creating Frankston jobs. Well, if they make it easier for people to shop and do business in our city, businesses will grow and when businesses grow they need more staff. More parking will lead to more jobs. Taking the strategic view on city access, we heartily support the proposal to extend the Frankston train line. Having a 1000-space commuter car park at Langwarrin is an especially attractive idea as it frees up parking in central Frankston. Wade Savage, Tony Cimorelli and 10 other Frankston traders

Police join forces in naval operation NAVAL police combined forces with a Victoria Police highway patrol to carry out a road safety operation at HMAS Cerberus, Crib Point. Operation Adiona — named for the Roman goddess of travel and safe return — saw military police and civilian police conduct roadside breath testing and mobile drug testing of both defence members and civilians entering the base as well as registration and roadworthiness checks. Warrant Officer Darren Lonergan said the operation strengthened the relationship between the military and civilian police “in many practical ways and will be followed by more joint operations”. “Working alongside our colleagues from the local civilian police gives our naval police coxswain’s valuable exposure to state policing duties and allows both sides to share knowledge and skills,” he said. “Operation Adiona allowed us to exercise our respective responsibilities for alcohol and drug testing of military and non-military motorists, and helped us assess how we might be able to use the same mobile vehicle registration units as Victoria Police to enhance capabilities within Cerberus. “Just as civilian police maintain an active and familiar presence in a community; our military police will continue a program of community focussed proactive policing geared towards boosting road safety on the Mornington Peninsula which so many defence [force] members call home.” Warrant Officer Lonergan said the only of-

fences detected were “several expired vehicle registrations along with one non-environmental noise compliant motorcycle”. Similar joint operations are planned at Hastings, Mornington and Frankston. Commanding Officer of HMAS Cerberus Captain Tim Standen, said it was “crucial that our naval police coxswain’s, military police and Victoria Police can work together, know each other’s remits and pool their resources to keep military members, defence civilians and the wider community safe as we live and work together across the Mornington Peninsula”.

Cars make marque RARE and classic cars dating back to the early 1900s will be on show at the Flinders Motoring Heritage show, 10am-4pm, Sunday 1 April (Easter Sunday).

The verhicles will displayed at the corner of Cook and Norman streets, Flinders, as well as in the park on Cook Street. Trophies will be awarded to the best vehicle in each category. The $5 entry includes a ticket in the raffle. All money raised will go to Flinders Lions Club and its projects. Details: Clay Manners 0405 692 537.

Land for giants: Steve Taranto enjoys his giant pumpkins with his children, Pat and Chris. Picture: Yanni

Atlantic giant a hit down under TYABB market gardener Steve Taranto joined the heavyweight prize-winners at this year’s Red Hill Show with pumpkins weight 204 and 175 kilograms. The journey of the giant pumpkins is one that has taken around six months, with Mr Taranto having plated the pumpkins late last year. “We planted the pumpkins in October, this whole process takes a while,” he said. “The type of pumpkin is called an Atlantic giant, so it’s not your regular everyday pumpkin.” “I’ve been growing these giant pumpkins for the past eight years. The kids love it and they love the Red Hill Show. It started out for fun, but I’ve actually gone ahead and entered the

pumpkin in the competition for the past couple of years.” Now that the show is done, Mr Taranto has made the decision of what to do with his two pumpkins, which together weigh over one third of a tonne. “They’ll get fed to the cows,” he said. “We’ve still them got it now, but eventually we’ll break them up and the herd will clean them up. When these pumpkins are fully grown they’re really quite soft and not actually very good for human consumption.” Brodie Cowburn Full Story and more pictures in the April edition of Peninsula Essence magazine.

When Location Matters

Page 8

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Brave Frankston soldier hospitalised Compiled by Brodie Cowburn ONE day last week Mr T. Reeves, Frankston, received word from the Defence Departemunt to the effect that his son, Gunner C. Reeves, had been admitted to Sutton Veny Military Hospital, England, on 23/1/18, suffering from gastritis. We trust that Mr and Mrs Reeves will hear better news of their young soldier son, who although only a lad of seventeen, has been fighting nobly; has been badly wounded, and gone back to fight again. *** A MEETING of residents of Frankston was held at the Mechanics on Tuesday to take steps to erect a memorial at Frankston to the memory of the late Sir John Madden. It was unanimously decided that a memorial be erected at Frankston and a strong working committee was formed with power to add to their number. A committee meeting will be held at the Mechanics next Tuesday at 8 o’clock to decide what form the memorial shall take. *** THE death occurred at Frankston on Friday evening last of Mrs Cousins, wife of Mr Benjamin Cousins who for the past seven years has been employed as caretaker at Colonel Grimwade’s, “Marathon”, Mornington road. Death which was of a sudden nature, was due to a heart affection, from which the deceased lady had been suffering for some time.

The late Mrs Cousins, who was 46 years of age, was a daughter of Mr Henry Brown, of Brunswick, and for very many years had been a resident of this district. Great sympathy is felt for Mr Cousins and family in their very sad bereavement. The internment took place at the Frankston cemetery on Sunday, a large crowd following the body to its last resting place. The funeral arrangements were in the hands of Mr H. Gamble Frankston. *** UNDER the auspices of the Frankston Red Cross Society, a grand concert in aid of the repatriation fund will be given in the Mechanics’ Institute on Easter Saturday, commencing at 7 45 p.m. sharp. The programme will be given by Melbourne artists, and has been arranged by the Presbyterian Young Men’s Union. *** A BAZAAR to reduce the debt on the Hastings hall will be held on Easter Saturday and Monday, afternoon and evenings, when there will be nail driving and hat trimming competitions, hoopla, etc, and on Saturday afternoon a baby show will be held, when valuable prizes will be given. The bazaar will be officially opened by Hon. A. Downward at 8p.m. on Easter Saturday. *** A VISIT of inspection of the works in connection with the Peninsula Water Supply was made by mem-

bers of the Frankston and Hastings, Mornington, and Moorabbin Shire councils on Wednesday last. The party made the trip by motor car, and visited the source of supply, and traversed most of the pipe line. A visit to the works where the cement pipes are being made proved most interesting, and general satisfaction was expressed at the progress being made. A full report will appear next issue. *** ADVICE was received in Melbourne by cablegram from Calcutta on Wednesday that the Commonwealth Government’s agents had secured 200,000 bales of grain bags representing 60,000,000 in all. It is anticipated that these will be ample for the 1918-19 Australian harvest if the amount of tonnage available be sufficient to transport them in time. Despatch for Australia may be expected to commence in August and be continued in September and October *** LOVERS of the “light fantastic” had a most enjoyable time on Saturday evening last when a dance was held under the auspices of the Wattle Club in the Mechanics. There was a splendid attendance and the music supplied by Mr Meekin left nothing to be desired. *** THE RECONSTRUCTED MINISTRY. Patriotic citizens are agreed that

at a time of stress like the present, there should be an end of party and that a National Ministry, should hold office. Mr Hughes, Mr Cook and their colleagues made an honest attempt to establish a government fully representative of all sections in the Commonwealth. They failed, because Official Labor stood aloof. In the reconstruction of the cabinet necessitated by the resignation of Lord Forrest, by the departure of Messrs Cook and Hughes for London and, possibly, by the increasing demands made on those who have held office during the trying war years, Mr Hughes and his colleagues have been true to the National ideal. The new members of the cabinet (Messrs Greene, Poynton, Wise and Orchard) represent distinct wings of the National Party. The selection of the new Ministers is satisfactory from another standpoint. It often happens that a weak Ministry buys off a too candid critic, by offering him a portfolio when one has to be placed. Happily the Hughes government has not stooped to that. The temptation was there, for quite recently a little knot of malcontent’s threatened the Ministry. These critics should not be silenced. *** MESSRS Alex Scott o Co. will hold their usual monthly market at Tanti on Monday, April 8th, commencing at 12.30 p.m. when they will offer cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry etc. ***

THE general list of electors for the electoral division of Mornington is now printed, and may be inspected at any post office, railway station, police station and state school within the division, or at the office of the registrar at Mornington. *** SPECIAL Easter Services will be conducted at the Frankston Methodist Church on Sunday next, morning and evening, by the Rev. E. Tonkin. The musical portion will be assisted by Mr G. Ernest Tonkin, of Kyneton. There will be Communion at the conclusion of the morning service. *** THE commandant of the A.I.F. at headquarters in London has cabled to the Prime Minister, stating that confusion has been caused in connection with the mails for the Australian Imperial Force and the American Expeditionary Force owing to the use of the letters A.I.F. and A.E.F., and it has consequently been found necessary to issue instructions to all despatch officers in Australia to enclose all mail matter addressed to Australian oversea forces in army postal bags, including those bearing hospital and civilian addresses. It is now merely necessary in addressing the mail to a soldier to state the number, name, initial and permanent unit with the words “Australian Imperial Force” in full. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 30 March 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A User’s Guide to ‘The Pub Test’ By Stuart McCullough I WAS always good at exams. I would study diligently, prepare meticulously and pretty much do all I could to ensure that when the big day came I could do my very best. However, not everything in this life can be studied for and there are some tests for which you simply can’t prepare. Instead, they are trials that seemingly drop from the sky and you either pass them or you don’t. The Pub Test is one such test. Doubtless, you’ve heard of it. If you’ve never been subjected to it, there’s a very good chance you’ve administered it, even if you’ve never set foot inside a pub. It’s kind of tricky like that. Much like the Force, the Pub Test is something that resides within all of us. It’s an energy that surrounds us and not only helps distinguish between fakery and the genuine article, but can also lift a wounded X-Wing out of a Degobah swamp if needed. (Although, in those circumstances, I’d rather call the RACV.) The Pub Test is all knowing and all-powerful. It is the first and final arbiter of what is good and what is not. Other countries have a ‘reasonable person’ test. It says a lot about us that our equivalent has just ordered a bourbon and coke and a packet of salt and vinegar chips. Then again, perhaps these are the ideal circumstances under which to be reasonable. Imbued with a sense of well-being and bonhomie, it’s just the right moment to see the good in people. Or, at least, it ought to be. But timing is

PAGE 22

everything. A Pub Test administered at six o’clock in the evening would invariably yield different results to one conducted at two in the morning. Indeed, the Pub Test at that hour would be more interested in where to get a souvlaki and taxi than a true and fair determination of anything.

Frankston Times 26 March 2018

Like any kind of assessment, it prompts the question – what happens next? If you pass the Pub Test, do you get a certificate? Where, exactly, within the AQF (Australian Qualifications Framework for those who don’t have Google handy) would such a qualification sit? Presumably,

passing the Pub Test entitles you to continue your study at a higher level. I can only guess that this means being assessed at a tertiary-level drinking house such a nightclub or wine bar. That said, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a proposition being described as passing the ‘wine bar’ test. But despite the somewhat limited options for continuing study, the Pub Test is now more popular than ever. This is largely due to its incredible versatility. The Pub Test can be used to evaluate pretty much anything; from major infrastructure projects through to key moral dilemmas. Granted, the Pub Test has been under threat in recent years from a relative newcomer to the scene – social media. But while social media might be measured in trends, it’s also an environment in which people feel comfortable being the very opposite of reasonable. In fact, it’s encouraged. The more banana-squashingly bonkers you are on social media, the better. It’s for that reason that I feel that while social media may threaten the Pub Test, it will never truly replace it. Granted, there’s also the ‘Sniff’ test but, quite seriously, who wants to abandon their better judgment in favour of an olfactory-led determination of merit? Not me. There’s something quite unsavoury about the very idea of the Sniff Test. There’s the question of proximity for starters, as I think it’s the kind of adjudication that requires some fairly severe leaning in. If this violation of personal space doesn’t bother you, there’s also the fairly unpleasant prospect of catch-

ing a honker full of something truly odious. No sir, the Sniff Test fails the Pub Test so far as I’m concerned. So where do we take the Pub Test from here? Frankly, the sky’s the limit. I can foresee a time when the Pub Test replaces all forms of scholastic measurement. Instead of NAPLAN, children would be required to sit the Pub Test instead. Imagine being assessed at eight years of age only to be informed that you had failed to pass the Pub Test. Somewhat ironically, this could quite a sobering message. But it just might be the thing to get young miscreants onto the straight and narrow. For myself, had it been possible to pull my socks up any further (I used elastic garters – they’re quite helpful), I would surely have done so. I appreciate that I’m being controversial. But I think that it’s time we turned our gaze inwards and thought a little more about how we judge things. Sometimes you need something more robust than instinct alone. Before we determine something to be unsalvageable, perhaps a measure of expertise might help the decision making process. Meanwhile, I’ve decided to do my thesis on the history of the Pub Test and how it has brought us to where we are today. I am, of course, somewhat nervous about how I’ll go. If I’m being honest, my thesis is long and not very pleasant to read. And for those reasons alone, it does not deserve to pass the Pub Test. So be it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Champs Langwarrin get up over Mt Eliza PROVINCIAL

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully LANGWARRIN has been crowned Mornington Peninsula Association Provincial Champions after beating Mt Eliza. The Kangas, defending 180, had Mt Eliza reeling at 5/47 at tea on day two after 22 overs, with Lyle House and Justin Grant back in the sheds. Langwarrin skipper Travis Campbell, who’s no stranger to premierships at Edithvale, was on fire for the Kangas snaring 4/25 off 12 overs at the tea break. At the other end, arguably the best all rounder on the Peninsula, Matt Prosser was tweaking some magic of his own, bowling seven overs for a return of 1/4 at the break. Mt Eliza had teenager John Goudge playing a wonderful, patient innings while Ben Tracey was being forced to turn back the clock and play patiently. It still had some work to do. Fast forward two hours and the Mounties had lost their second grand final in as many years, bowled out for 94. Travis Campbell finished with 4/35, Matt Prosser 2/25, Adam Campell 1/11 and Jake Prosser 3/2.

Young Goudge was the final man out controversially trapped in front for 43. Earlier, on day one, Langwarrin won the toss and elected to bat first. Taylor Smith and Matt Prosser opened the innings and despite the fact they won the game off their own bat last week, could manage just a 29-run opening partnership in the big dance. Travis Campbell was out to Justin Grant for 30 before Matt Prosser was brilliantly run out by Nick Baron for 50. This left Andy Johnson and Jake Prosser to resume on Sunday with 3/116 off 63 overs. Facing the final 17 overs of their innings it was an arm wrestle. The Kangas batted at 3 ½ runs an over with Andy Johnson hitting 32 and Simon Parrot hitting 18. Mt Eliza’s Chris Mc Donough bowled 20 overs for 3/67 and skipper Justin Grant bowled 24 overs for a return of 3/43. The final Langwarrin score, given the rain softened the ground, looked defendable, they proved it was. Kangas downed: Langwarrin are Provincial champions after beating Mt Eliza in the grand final, right and below. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

It’s flag for Flinders PENINSULA

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully THERE have been many teams over the journey who have had nightmares in local cricket. Unfortunately for Main Ridge skipper Nick Jewell, that nightmare has become a habit. Looking for a change of luck, Jewell crossed to Main Ridge after losing a couple of grand finals at Sorrento. Despite the unquestionable talent the bad luck continued to follow him. Jewell’s Main Ridge finished day one after 57.3 overs on 8/74. Shaun Foster top scored with 36 (Foster’s old team Carrum was defending 7/200 against Dromana who were 3/57 at tea on day 2). Nick Jewell was the second highest

Day three on cards after rain halts grand final play DISTRICT

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully TORRENTIAL rain may not have affected first XI matches in all other divisional grand finals, but all roads will lead to Skye this Saturday afternoon when Baden Powell and Heatherhill finish their grand final battle. The run-ups were unplayable and despite best efforts to at least start the match, both captains agreed to start the grand final fresh on Sunday. At tea on the second day (Sunday) Baden Powell who won the toss and elected to bat, were 2/68 with Rhys Elmi ticking the scoreboard over nicely.

PAGE 26

Baden Powell legend John Harrison made the call that 170, given the ground conditions, would be a very good score to defend. At that point, Baden Powell was on track. One thing Harrison may have forgotten at that stage was that Heatherhill boasted the in-form player of the competition, Steven O’Donnell. At the time of going to press Baden Powell with 10 overs remaining was 6/175.

Match still on: Baden Powell and Heatherhill will face each other again for a third day of play to decide the District championship. Picture: Andrew Hurst

run scorer on 12. With 23.3 overs still to bat on day two, Main Ridge could add just two more runs to its total, bowled out for 76. Matty Burns was superb once again with the ball, snaring 4/34 off 19 overs, while Dwayne Field snared 3/15 and Max Royal helped himself to 3/10. At tea on day two, Flinders was in a commanding position at 2/69. We didn’t have to wait for much longer for both captains to agree to pull up stumps after Flinders passed the total, 3 wickets down and with Tommy Clements in total control. Finders winning the flag was their first since 2011-12 and will be their first time in Provincial since the mid1980s..

Lions wield the willow SUB-DISTRICT

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully TEN overs could mean the difference between a win and a loss, even in local cricket. At stumps on day one of the sub-district grand final between Dromana and Carrum, Dromana was in total command with the score at 5/140 after pushing through 70 overs on the rain-affected first day. For the Lions, several players got starts with the bat, but none of them pushed on to make a significant dent on the scoreboard. The bonus for the Lions was that they

resumed day two with Jake D’Atri and Dylan Stead not out on 36 and 13 respectively. From the outset of day two the Lions had intent and as such blasted 60 runs in the final 10 overs to put them in a commanding position in the grand final. Stead was especially damaging before the Lions finished at 7/200 off their 80 overs. At tea on day two, Dromana had lost three quick wickets before steadying to be 3/57, Jedd Savage and Jack Fowler unbeaten at the crease. At the time of going to press Dromana was 9/131 with Jack Fowler back in the sheds, out for 69.

Batting on: The District grand final between Baden Powell and Heatherhill is still to be decided after a rain delay. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Frankston Pines, Somerville lead the way SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines and Somerville Eagles were the only local teams to start the 2018 State League season on a winning note. Pines head coach Paul Williams gave starts to Mitch Landers, Naseer Mohammed, Aaryn Rix and CJ Hodgson and used their pace and ability to transition quickly to hurt home team Heatherton United on Saturday eventually running out a 2-0 winner in their State 2 SouthEast contest. Heatherton was caught on the break half a dozen times with former Pines’ keeper Alfonso Cardinale making a fine save to deny Landers from converting Pines’ best first-half chance. It took a low strike from Rix in the 57th minute to break the deadlock but Heatherton looked set to equalise 10 minutes later when young Pines keeper Jarrod Nardino gave the ball away and brought down Heatherton striker Ali Senad inside the area. But the youngster held his nerve and saved the resultant penalty attempt and it was game over in the 85th minute after Cardinale brought down Landers and the referee pointed to the spot. Hodgson converted to secure the points for Pines. Somerville Eagles beat Casey Panthers 4-3 away from home in Saturday’s opener to the State 5 South season. Two clinical finishes from Louis Griffiths, a fierce strike by Sam Beadle from just outside the area and a stunning free-kick by Matthew Curd secured all three points for the visitors. “Casey Panthers pushed us all the way and despite finishing with two centre-forwards playing in the defensive line and having Hayden Taylor sent off, we hung on to get a massive result,” said Somerville player-coach David Greening. “We were without nine of our senior squad for various reasons so I was hugely proud of the lads that played today with a couple of them having to play out of position.” Two second-half penalty saves by Robbie Acs couldn’t stop Langwarrin losing 2-0 to Moreland City in their NPL2 clash at Lawton Park on Saturday. The first of three Moreland penalties was successfully converted by Jesse Makarounas in the 15th minute after a poorly timed lunge by Luke Burgess had felled Moreland striker Lisandro Paz inside the area. Andy McIntyre’s sliding goal-line clearance in the 28th minute stopped

Speed kills: Naseer Mohammad has added pace to Frankston Pines’ strike force. Picture: John Punshon

Moreland going further ahead. The best chance of the half fell to Langwarrin striker John Kuol in the 38th minute when he broke clear into a one-on-one only to be denied by the foot of advancing Moreland keeper Liam McDowell. In the 60th minute Christopher Cristaldo got clear on the right of the Langy area but shot straight at Acs and a soaring header from Kuol following a Paul Speed corner in the 70th minute thumped against the crossbar and was cleared. But Langy failed to clear from a corner in the 81st minute and Paz volleyed home from close range to complete the scoreline. Langy striker Liam Baxter received a second caution in the 91st minute and was sent off. Mornington’s bid for another State 1 South-East title started poorly when it went down 1-0 to Manningham United Blues at Dallas Brooks

Park on Saturday. A straight red for veteran Mornington striker Wayne Gordon in the 18th minute had the home side facing an uphill battle. The decisive moment in this contest came in the 23rd minute when a cross from the left came off the shoulder of James Newman as he attempted a header and beat Mornington keeper Liam Little. The 10 men pressed for an equaliser in the second half but Sammy Orritt’s volley from the left of the area sailed over. Mornington came closest to scoring when a superb Curtis Hutson cross in the 77th minute from the left picked out big Max Etheridge whose goal-bound touch was instinctively tipped onto the bar by Manningham keeper Stefan Taleski before being scrambled clear for a corner. Peninsula Strikers went down 3-1 away to Brandon Park in their re-

arranged State 2 South-East fixture on Saturday. Maxim Avram (2) and Sam Nikolovski scored for Brandon Park with Ryan Wilson scoring for Strikers. State 3 South-East promotion candidates Monbulk Rangers and Skye United clashed at Monbulk Recreation Reserve on Friday night with the home team winning 2-1. Scores were level at the break but five minutes into the second half Monbulk captain Geordie Scott broke into a one-on-one and put the hosts ahead. Skye began to panic for the remainder of the half as chances went begging and a clinical finish from Arash Sadeghi in the 75th minute gave Monbulk a two-goal buffer. Skye’s Mitch Blake pulled one back five minutes from time to ensure a tense finish but despite Skye’s pressure, it couldn’t grab the equaliser. Teenage midfielder Jack Gallagher signed with Skye last week and scored in the reserves before coming off the bench in the second half to replace Chris Driver. A pre-game injury to Mark O’Connor had sidelined the Irish midfielder whose place in the starting line-up was taken by Driver. Two other Skye midfielders are injured. Cameron Leopold had to come off against Monbulk with a broken toe while youngster Jordan Redburn was unavailable as he battles to overcome a hip injury. Defender Johnny Andrinopoulos remains sidelined by an Achilles strain. Off the field, Skye fared far better last week when local state government MP Sonya Kilkenny announced a $945,000 upgrade to the clubrooms at Skye Recreation Reserve. Seaford United looks set for another testing season after being thumped 6-0 by Brighton in their State 3 South-East contest at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday. Dylan Waugh had flirted with joining Strikers during the pre-season but returned to the fold and rejoined Seaford last week but was unable to have an impact in what was a dismal opening-round display by Paulo Pinheiro’s men. Three goals in six minutes allowed Brighton the luxury of a 3-0 halftime lead and effectively ended the contest. Jared Ekkel had spent the opening half-hour strolling about in midfield and distributing the ball at his leisure and in the 34th minute his first strike was parried by young Seaford keeper Austin Kearney who was helpless to

stop Ekkel’s close-range follow-up attempt. Two minutes later Michael Knott turned Daniel Mota inside out then struck a low shot past the diving Kearney to make it 2-0. As if to rub salt into Seaford’s wounds the move down Brighton’s right in the 40th minute was clearly offside but play continued and a low cross to the far post set up Nick Bale for a tap-in. Bale repeated the dose from close range in the 53rd minute to make it 4-0 then a simple inter-passing move involving Louis Hughes, Bale and David Nicholas ended with Nicholas in a one-on-one with Kearney and making no mistake from 10 metres for number five. Ekkel’s low shot from just outside the area in the 72nd minute made it 6-0 and a combination of inept finishing and a couple of good reflex saves from Kearney saved Seaford from an absolute shellacking. “I think it’s going to be a long, hard season,” said a Seaford insider at the final whistle and no-one disagreed. Baxter’s State 4 South campaign got off to a disastrous start with a 7-2 home loss to Monash Uni on Saturday. The mood at Baxter was upbeat leading into the clash after young gun Travis Ernsdoerfer returned last week from an NPL2 foray with Langy’s under-20s. But by half-time Monash led 3-1 and went on to record a resounding victory. Izaak Barr and Dan Disseldorp scored for Baxter. Southern United welcomed back Elisabeth Robers last week but lost Sunday’s NPLW clash with Box Hill United 10-1 at Monterey Reserve with Casey Aarons scoring for Southern. The under-12s won 2-0 with goals from Jasmine Smith and Stella Rogers; the under-14s won 9-0 with goals from Rhys McKenna (3), Candy Kilderry (3), Alex Jones, Danica Vukcevic and Alessandra Davis; the under-16s drew 2-2 with goals from Lily Aitken and Monique Lapenta while goals from Mackenzie Hicks and Jess Beddows couldn’t stop the under-19s from going down 4-2 in a much-improved performance. There are no State League or NPLW games over the Easter weekend but Langwarrin, Mornington and Strikers are in action in the fourth round of the FFA Cup. SATURDAY, 3pm: Langwarrin v North Geelong (Lawton Park), Mornington v Peninsula Strikers (Dallas Brooks Park).16s 11.40am, U19s 1.15pm).

Dromana v Rye rivalry set for Good Friday

Mitchell ‘rapt to be back’ By Ben Triandafillou BLAIRGOWRIE Boxer Jayde Mitchell returned in winning form on Saturday 17 March defeating South American boxer Ariel Alejandro Zampedri at the Melbourne Pavilion. Mitchell proved that his neck injury was no longer an issue, moving freely around the ring, and claiming victory in the third round of the fight. “The neck held up fine. I got clipped a couple of times and it held up brilliantly so there’s no issue at all and I couldn’t be happier with the way the night went,” Mitchell said. “It was all about recovering from the surgery and being comfortable and confident in the fight. “I’m absolutely rapt to be back and now its full steam ahead towards that world title.” Mitchell has now climbed to number 11 in the world rankings and will be moving back down

DROMANA Football Club will host the annual Good Friday clash against Rye Football Club on Friday 30 March. The “local derby” between the two division two sides will be played at Dromana Recreation Reserve with the O’Rourke-Matthews Shield up for grabs. Dromana Football Club president Chris Strange said it will be a great local rivalry and promises to be a great day. “We just missed out on finals last year and got put into Division Two this year so we are probably at the top of the hill when it comes to this division,” Strange said. “Rye has recruited well this year so it’s going to be a great match.” Dromana will have two former New Zealand AFL players joining their line-up this year with the signings of Andrew Howison and William Gregson along with ex-Rye player, Ben Holmes. “It’s his first season back, he’s a fantastic player and it’s great that he’s joined us,” Strange said. “It will be an interesting outing for him.”

Rye will need to turn the tables on Dromana, having been defeated by them in the last game of the season, but Rye Football Club president Mick O’Rourke is optimistic the club can make amends. “We failed miserably in the last game of the season. We went down by about 15 to 16 goals so we will be out looking for revenge,” he said. “I think we will have a better side than last year. We have a few new recruits and a lot of young players from last year who have another 12 months of experience. “We’ve had good numbers on the track at training so things are looking pretty good. “We can get a good crowd being Good Friday and Dromana always seem to put on a good showing so it should be a good day.” Being Good Friday, a fare with a seafood marquee will be there on the day with the local CFA also collecting money for the Royal Children’s Hospital Appeal. Ben Triandafillou

to the super-middleweight division to defend his titles and aim towards a shot at the world title. “We expressed our interest in fighting Tyron Zeuge who’s defending his title this weekend,” he said. “We’ve touched base with the world champion and it’s looking like a good chance that we may land that later in the year.” Mitchell’s return against Zampedri was all about making sure his neck could hold up and now with the confidence that he is back to his best, is also looking at a fight for the Commonwealth title. “It’s just speculation at the moment but it would be a dream come true to fight for the Commonwealth title,” Mitchell said. “I’d love to fight for the Commonwealth title before going towards a world title honours and join the likes of many great champions who have come before me.”

Father-son combination secure national title

Peninsula surfers ride wave to nationals THE WOMEN’S Peninsula Surfriders are set for the national championships next month after taking out the Victorian and South Australian Sailor Jerry Surftag Qualifier at Rye Back Beach on Saturday 17 March. The Women’s Peninsula team (29.69) consisting of Hannah Trigger, Vee Bieber, Claudia Daymond, Nina Sinclair and Charlee West charged the chunky conditions to finish nearly 20-points clear of Torquay (10.33). Peninsula surfrider Charlee West was stoked with the victory and now has her sights set on the national championships at the Gold Coast on Friday 27 April. “It’s so special to be a part of this team representing the club and to win the first ever Women’s Surftag in Victoria is really cool,” West said. Former Winter Olympic snowboarder Hannah

Trigger posted the highest score in the final with a run of 10.50 and will head up north with the Women’s group alongside the Peninsula Surfriders men’s division who grabbed second at the Qualifiers. The men’s division pushed Torquay all the way to the last wave with club president and fifth surfer Lachy McDonald scoring 18.17 in the final stages of the decider to finish 6 points behind to claim second spot. McDonald said it’s great to have a large squad heading up towards the Gold Coast. “Winning the Women’s division and coming second in the Men’s is a great effort from our club,” McDonald said. “We were one good wave short of the win today in the Men’s and look forward to testing ourselves against the country’s best.” Ben Triandafillou

THE father-son combination of Jamie and Sam Hodic, from Crib Point, has created history on Sunday 18 March as they guided the Melbourne Glacier’s Ice Hockey team to their first national title. Jamie, who took up coaching for the first time this season, and his son Sam, who captained the under-21’s side, created a memorable comeback, from last to first, to claim gold in the grand-final at the O’Brien Group Arena in Melbourne. Having finished at the bottom of ladder for the 2017/18 season, the Glaciers scored a wildcard entry into the finals series having been the hosts for the national finals and received automatic entry. The Glaciers had won four matches, including two shootouts, from their 16 games throughout the season and headed into the finals as an “outsider”. While the side had to turn around their form from their season, Sam was still pretty confident the side could be competitive against the states. “We were lucky to have been in the finals to be honest,” Sam said. “We had a bad season because we never really had a full squad and some people were complaining about us even being in the finals.” “Some of our team were out for suspensions, other people were injured and some other players had full-time work commitments during the season so we never really had it all together. “The semis were the first time we had our full squad. I had a feeling that any team can win on any given day but it was whether we could put it all together.” The Glaciers started strong and won their first three matches in the finals series before securing two more victories in the Semi-Finals on the Saturday, defeating Brisbane Blitz and the Perth Sharks in shootouts. Sam said the semi-finals could have gone any way as the shoot-outs are seen as basically a “lottery pick”. “No one ever has a clear idea on who the winner will be in a shootout,” he said. “Before the shootout, you go through five minutes of overtime and most games finish there but

we had to go through and play shootouts in both of our semis. “It was obviously pretty lucky to win them both but I was pretty confident as we have the best goalie and at least six good shooters so we had a pretty strong chance.” The Glaciers went through to defeat the favourites, Adelaide Adrenaline, in the grand final on the Sunday and claim Melbourne Glaciers first ever trophy. Glaciers coach Jamie Hodic said it was pretty amazing for Melbourne after finishing last in the season to walk away with the national title. “I’ve competed more as a player than a coach so I just wanted to get them together and told them ‘in the end it’s our home and we shouldn’t let them push us around’,” he said. “If we had lost just one match we would have been kicked out but when it came to the crunch we didn’t lose a game. “We couldn’t afford to have any penalties against us and they really stood up and were just really disciplined. “They played well beyond their years.” Ben Triandafillou
