‘Struggle town’ alarm Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ALARMING evidence gathered in a report about the most disadvantaged areas across Australia has found “disadvantage is entrenched” in Frankston North. The Dropping off the Edge 2015 report by advocacy groups Jesuit Social Services and Catholic Social Services

Australia listed Frankston North among three percent of postcodes, named “struggle towns”, across Victoria to be the most disadvantaged. Major factors in disadvantaged areas are unemployment, criminal convictions, disability, low education and child maltreatment, family violence and psychiatric admissions. Frankston North itself was the fourth most disadvantaged suburb in the state

for child maltreatment and schooling readiness. The area was ranked second for psychiatric admissions, fifth for long-term unemployment and eighth for prison admissions compared to other towns across Victoria. Jesuit Social Services CEO Julie Edwards says the Dropping off the Edge report findings show current policies are not working for the most disadvantaged communities.

The suburb of Frankston, excluding Frankston North, is nowhere near the top of Australia’s most disadvantaged suburbs identified in the report starkly illustrating the “cycle of disadvantage” faced in Frankston North. “This report identifies where the system is failing individuals and communities, and outlined how residents in these communities aren’t just dealing with one form of disadvantage but

multiple and complex barriers to individual wellbeing and community participation,” Ms Edwards said. The authors of the report have called on the federal government to establish a Centre for Community Strengthening and Program Evaluation “to identify and assist Australian communities with high social needs and concentrated disadvantage”.

Phone robbery bid foiled

Waste not, want shop at new tip CHRISTMAS has come early for bargain hunters who will be able to get their hands on discarded furniture and household goods at a new $12.3 million rubbish tip in Frankston. The bargain hunters may even grab a Christmas tree dumped by its original owners at the new Frankston Regional Recycling and Recovery Centre at Harold Rd, Skye. The rubbish tip operator KTS Recycling will open a resale shop at the recycling hub to resell items that can be salvaged and used again. Any profits will be ploughed back into the shop or management of the recycling facility. The waste transfer station will open in October. Hard waste will cost Frankston residents $65 per cubic metre to dump

($75 for non-residents) and $35 per cubic metre for green waste drop-offs. Getting rid of mattresses will cost $25 and Christmas trees can be offloaded for $5 each. Frankston Council took possession of the Harold Rd land, the site of a former commercial waste transfer station run by Skye Sands Pty Ltd which closed down in 2010, and mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said the location is “ideal to service the entire region”. “Taking ownership is a huge step in the right direction for our community, who have been crying out for its own recycling and recovery centre for five years, since we were asked to close the former transfer centre on Centenary Drive to make way for Peninsula Link,” Cr Mayer said.

The mayor said council had lobbied federal and state governments to contribute funding to the new rubbish tip. “Although we did not receive any financial support, we knew that this was a commitment to the community that we needed to keep and are proud that we are able to deliver.” KTS Recycling, manager of the existing Knox Transfer Station, has been appointed by council to oversee recovery operations and sort and recycle dumped items for a minimum of two years with an option to extend the contract. CFA and MFB fire crews were called out to battle fires at the Wantirna South waste transfer station three times between 2012 and 2014. Neil Walker

A MAN held a knife to the throat of a woman walking along Kars St, Frankston, 9.25am, Thursday 16 July, and demanded her mobile phone. The woman, 50, who was talking on the phone while walking her dog, fought off the man, who ran off along Denbigh St when a passer-by stopped to offer assistance. He was last seen jumping a fence. Detective Senior Constable Darren Paxton, of Frankston CIU, said the man had earlier followed another woman, 27, pushing a pram up Kars St from High St. He had been seen near the football oval and, before that, in the front yard of a house in Denbigh St. The man tried to strike up a conversation with the woman, walking alongside her towards Nolan St, where she managed to leave him. The man then walked through the Brotherhood of St Laurence site in High St and turned into Kars St where he began following the first woman. He is described as 25-35, Australian, 173cm, slim build, light coloured, cropped hair, unshaven, wearing a black hoodie, black tracksuit pants and wearing gold chains. Anyone with information is asked to call Frankston CIU 9784 5555 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Partygoer stomped A YOUNG partygoer was knocked to the ground and kicked in the head in Alicudi Av, Frankston South, 9.30pm, Saturday 18 July. Detective Sergeant Alastair Hanson, of Frankston CIU, said the 18 year old victim, of Mt Martha, had been refused entry to the party and was

standing outside with friends when a stolen black Ford sedan drove past and the occupants threw eggs. The car pulled up and two men demanded the victim’s alcohol. He refused and the men punched him to the head, knocking him unconscious onto the footpath. They then kicked him to the body and one stomped on his head. The victim suffered cuts requiring stitches, extensive bruising and a broken nose in the attack. He was taken by ambulance to Dandenong Hospital. Detective Sergeant Hanson said police were concerned at the ferocity of the assault – especially the head stomping. “It was an unprovoked attack on an innocent victim who was not fighting back,” he said. The main attacker was 16-18, South Sea Islander appearance, 171cm, with a slight build. The other attacker was 15-16 and Caucasian. Detective Sergeant Hanson said the rise of social media had exacerbated the dangers of having a party at home. Many uninvited guests get to hear of it online and make unwanted appearances, often assaulting guests. He said a “semi-organised” gang of thieves was targeting parties and robbing those out front of alcohol, phones and cash. Call Frankston CIU on 9784 5555 with any information.

Murder charge A 59-YEAR-OLD Seaford woman has been charged with murder following the death of a 64-year-old Seaford man in hospital on Monday last week after a serious assault. Detectives had previously charged the woman with intentionally cause serious injury on 20 July. She will appear before the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 9 November.

Family ties strong bind for good life ACTOR Samuel Johnson made a splash at McClelland College’s Love Your Sister event last week. The actor visited the school on Friday to speak about the charity he co-founded with his sister, Connie, who has battled cancer since age 11. The visit was organised by the college’s Working in the Media MAP classes. Year 10 student Karabo Tlokotsi said the Love Your Sister concept arose from three goals Connie set her brother. “These were, to set a world record for the most distance travelled on a unicycle, to raise $1 million and to spread the message of breast cancer awareness,” she said. “Now, a few years later, Love Your Sister is a recognised charity and has set a new fundraising goal of raising $10 million.” In February last year, Johnson rode his unicycle almost 16,000km over 365 days, breaking the world record for the longest unicycle journey and raising $1,477,630, to fulfil the first goal. He and his sister donated the money to the Garvan Institute of Medical Research to further cancer research. Johnson – well known for his role as Evan Wylde in The Secret Life of Us TV series – told the students about the importance of family and about how young people should not say they “hate” their parents, Karabo said.

“He also talked about how you shouldn’t leave anything on a bad note with your parents because, when they die, you would’ve said you hated them. “Life is too short.” Johnson recounted how, tragically, his mother had committed suicide when he was three years of age. “I would give anything to have a mother again,” he said. “He reminded us to ‘go home and tell mum to check her breasts’ – yes, he actually said this,” Karabo said. “He showed us a 40-minute video showing his journey on the unicycle around Australia. It also showed Connie’s battle with cancer and how badly it affected her whenever she went out to visit Samuel.” The MAP students spent months organising the event and fundraising, culminating in the presentation of $1000 to the charity. The MAP program is held Wednesdays over two periods. Students take classes “in subjects they really enjoy”, such as sport, working in the media, and even baking. Our thanks to Karabo Tlokotsi for her report

Chase arrest SEAFORD’S streets came alive on Thursday when police chased down a suspected burglar. Frankston uniform officers, dog squad and police air wing searched house to house before grabbing a man near the shops in Austin Rd and bundling him into the back of a divisional van. Acting Sergeant Pat Stainthorpe, of Frankston police, said the man, in his 20s, was charged with trespass and weapons offences. He was released on bail pending a summons. Picture: Gary Sissons

Throat grab A YOUTH, 15, was standing with three friends outside his house after a party, 10.30pm, Saturday 11 July, when he was grabbed around the throat by a man who then stole his mobile phone. Detective Sergeant Alastair Hanson, of Frankston CIU, said the offender was one of six men in a white four-wheel-drive who stopped near the house in Foot St, Frankston. The phone was valued at $250. Detective Sergeant Hanson warned parents to be aware of the dangers facing their children on the street late at night. He urged them to know what parties they were attending and to make sure they were invited.

PENINSULA Skin Cancer Centre’s Dr Sally Shaw is worked up about what she calls “the misrepresentation of melanoma in the news”, especially regarding the recent return to football of Hawthorn forward Jarryd Roughead. “Melanoma is not a cancer scare, it’s a cancer reality, and Roughead continues to be at high risk of advanced melanoma,” she said. “The term cancer scare should be reserved for when a mole is thought to be melanoma but comes back benign. “Having prominent sportsmen as Roughead, Jack Riewoldt, Tom Hafey and Jim Stynes all diagnosed with melanoma, yet having their conditions reported in the media as a brush with skin cancer, a skin cancer scare, cancer health scare or a cancer shock, is down playing the significance of having a melanoma diagnosis and the continued risk of advanced disease.” Dr Shaw has clinics in Frankston and Mornington, is a founding member of the Australasian College of Skin Cancer Medicine and has been instrumental in establishing standards for skin cancer practitioners throughout Australia. “The diagnosis of melanoma, especially advanced melanomas, is watered down to a cancer scare or shock to make the news more palatable for the public,” she said. She believes that because melanoma is associated with sun exposure, beaches and outdoor living, there is a fear that reporting it will tarnish the

Missed message: Dr Sally Shaw says the media missed the chance to highlight melanoma dangers.

iconic Australian way of life. “We are missing the opportunity to bring up the seriousness of a melanoma diagnosis, especially in young Australians and about the importance of protecting our skin from the sun.” Melanoma is the most common cancer for 14-44 year olds, with one person dying from melanoma every six hours. “A diagnosis of melanoma is a very serious result,” Dr Shaw said. “More than 1500 Australians die from melanoma each year. While most melanoma patients, around 80 per cent, will never have metastases, melanoma patients need to be vigilant for any

signs of advanced melanoma for the rest of their lives. “They will need to have regular mole mapping or skin checks every few months for the first couple of years and then every 12 months after that.” Dr Shaw bemoaned “the reluctance of the media to report Hafey’s and Stynes’ advanced melanomas as non-specific cancers, which meant we missed a great opportunity to pass on the very important message of how dangerous melanoma can be to a large Australian sporting audience”. “We should all have full body skin checks every year and protect our skin from UV all year round.”

Volunteers making a meal of it

Shed mates ahoy: Chris Lowth at the official opening of the Langwarrin Men’s Shed displays ships he has built. Picture: Gary Sissons

New home for Men’s Shed THE Langwarrin Men’s Shed has unveiled its shiny new $575,000 home last Friday, capping five years of work from community members. “The idea of a men’s shed in Langwarrin was first raised in 2010 when the community met with Council to develop their Local Area Plan,” mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said. “Today’s opening is a credit to the people who have done so much work since that time to secure funding from all levels of government, along with the fundraising they have done within the Langwarrin community itself.” The Federal Government provided $225,000, Langwarrin Community Centre $160,000 for the construction, council $100,000, state government $60,000 and the Langwarrin Township Committee $30,000 to build the shed, while the Langwarrin Community Centre has committed a further $40,000 towards ongoing programs.

The new home is next to the Langwarrin Community Hall, on land leased by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning through Council. The Langwarrin Scout Hall has been a temporary home for the Men’s Shed, but Langwarrin Men’s Shed President Laurie Jones believes the permanent base will make the men’s shed an even more valuable member of the local community. “The Men’s Shed meets the specific needs of socially isolated men and Veterans in the Community,” Mr Jones said. The Langwarrin Men’s Shed will be open Monday to Friday from 10am to 2.30pm, with a view to opening some Saturdays in the future. Call 0434 506 768 or email thejonesfamily@saintly. com to get involved.

FRANKSTON Meals on Wheels team leader Peter Ward can’t speak highly enough of his 156-plus volunteers. “They never let you down,” he said last week. “They are a wonderful bunch. They are vigilant and dedicated to the welfare of their clients. “Some have been here 25 years.” Based at its Beach St headquarters, the meals service cooks 220-250 meals each day for distribution to mainly elderly clients living all over Frankston city. But it’s not just appetites that are looked after – the volunteers “keep an eye” on their appreciative charges; noting who’s not feeling well, or who could do with some extra care or assistance. “They are our first line of defence,” Mr Ward said. “They get to know their clients well and, in the event that something happens to one of them, they follow up with someone who can help them, such as notifying their next of kin.” The day’s activities are well planned and run like clockwork: the shifts run 6-8am, then 9-11.30am and then the “cleaning shift” arrives to sanitise the well-worn carry containers, cleans kitchen benches and empties rubbish and dishwater from 11am-1.30pm. Clients certainly don’t go hungry. From Monday to Thursday they enjoy four-course meals and, on Fridays, three course meals as well as frozen meals to cover the weekends and public holidays. Everything is cooked fresh and Mr Ward, who’s been involved for 18 years, takes pride in saying that Frankston’s Meals on Wheels service is one of the few in Melbourne where everything is cooked and prepared right here. Bon appetit! Stephen Taylor Special delivery service: Robert Orr packing the meals ready for Meals on Wheels clients. Picture: Gary Sissons

Devotees heading back to ashram Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au DESPITE the appointment of receivers, police investigations into alleged sexual assaults and back room negotiations to avoid action under civil law, devotees are again attending Saturday night assemblies at the former headquarters of the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga at Mt Eliza. The Tower Rd property was not listed as being part of the organisation’s assets when liquidators Worrells Solvency & Forensic Accountants were appointed in April. As well as facing the possible sale of three residential properties in streets near to the Tower Rd ashram, Shiva Yoga Inc is also the subject of possible action by lawyer Angela Sdrinis. Another blow to the organisation may also come in the form of a reassessment of the tax free status it has enjoyed since being given the all clear by Australian Charities and Not-forprofits Commission (ACNC). “Where there is evidence of serious mismanagement or misappropriation, a persistent or deliberate breach of the ACNC Act, or where vulnerable people or significant charitable assets are at risk, the ACNC will act firmly and quickly,” a spokesperson for the ACNC said last week. “Where appropriate the ACNC will revoke a charity’s status – taking away access to Commonwealth charity tax concessions, which are administered by the Australian Taxation Office.” Although unable to comment on specific cases, the spokesperson said the revocation of tax-free status could

Temple sounds: Members of the Mt Eliza ashram, including leaders Russell Kruckman (also known as Swami Shankarananda and Swamiji) and Devi Ma were at the Shiva Vishnu temple in Carrum Downs in June for chanting and a performance by Melbourne-based “spiritual/world” band Sky of the Heart.

be backdated to 3 December 2012. Financial statements for the year ended June 2014 of the tax-exempt Shiva Yoga Inc show $1.38m has been spent improving the ashram building and lists Swami Shankarananda as having loaned the organisation $373,508. The statements show “retained earnings” of $2.9m. The ATO has granted Shiva Yoga Inc a tax concession, GST concession, FBT rebate and income tax exemption. A former member of the ashram has previously told The Times that when filling out an application form seeking tax exemption “we all looked at

each other when it came to filling out the marked religion, and then someone said Hindu, so that’s what we put”. St Kilda lawyer Ms Sdrinis told The Times last week that she had spoken with about 20 men and women formally associated with the ashram over “a variety of issues”, including alleged sexual impropriety by the school’s spiritual leader Russell Kruckman; unpaid wages; taxation issues; whether “people were volunteers or employees”; donations; and donated works. Ms Sdrinis said she was specifically dealing with allegations by several women of sexual misconduct by Mr

Kruckman, who is also known as Swami Shankarananda and Swamiji. “We are trying to settle out of court.” Allegations of sexual assault by Mr Kruckman also continue to be investigated by the Seaford-based SOCIT (Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Teams). Ms Sdrinis said while she had not spoken with police “the liquidators have been good to deal with”. In December 2014, Mr Kruckman and the school stunned ashram devotees by issuing statements which in effect admitted he had engaged in “secret sexual relations with a number of

women from the ashram community”. The ensuing shockwaves led to a plummeting of the numbers attending the Saturday night assemblies, or Satsangs, and Mr Kruckman standing down as the school’s spiritual leader. The assemblies were moved private homes earlier this year, but are now being held at the Tower Rd ashram which is owned by Mr Kruckman and not Shiva Yoga Inc. While up to 350 people would attend these weekly assemblies before the scandal broke in late 2014, it appears numbers are now down to about 70. As previously reported by The Times, liquidator Paul Burness said Shiva Yoga owned three properties near the ashram, two in Petrel Ave and one in Clarendon Close. They are collectively valued at just under $3 million, although one has a mortgage. The most valuable property connected to the yoga school, the ashram in Tower Rd, is owned by Mr Kruckman (Swami Shankarananda) and is not subject to the liquidation. Mr Burness said Swami Shankarananda had placed caveats dated 22 April 2015 on the titles on one of Shiva Yoga’ Petrel Ave properties and the one in Clarendon Close. A further caveat had been lodged on the title of the Tower Rd property by Shiva Meditation Inc in 2005. The News has been unable to contact the ashram for comment. An email sent to spokesman Stephen Stanford was answered by a Vani Hudson who said: “All enquiries regarding Shiva Yoga should be directed to [the liquidator] Paul Burness of Worrells”.

Report: suburbs close to the edge Continued from Page 1 Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson said intergenerational hardship is a problem in Frankston North and “innovative new approaches” are needed to break the cycle of poverty and change the lives of people who are confronting disadvantage. “The chaos in the lives of some needs to be replaced by calm and predictability to help those families and children,” he said. Mr Billson said this month’s announcement of $4.9 million in federal funding for Anglicare Victoria’s Community for Children plan (‘Children priority for care plan’, The Times 13/7/15) was a step towards trying to ensure children got the care, support

and opportunities “that should be available to all in our community”. The Small Business Minister, a former student at Frankston North’s Monterey Secondary College, said someone’s postcode should not determine their potential. “It’s important to get a normalised home environment to break the burdens of intergenerational hardship and support people back into work. Children are growing up in some household were employment is not part of their environment. “Children not being properly cared for is a troubling symptom and consequence of a range of other factors. It could be domestic violence, it may be alcohol misuse and substance abuse or

emotional and mental health illness issues that are contributing to the chaos in a young person’s life.” Frankston Labor state MP Paul Edbrooke said one of the main factors in breaking the cycle of disadvantage is education. He said Labor’s commitment to reversing the TAFE cuts imposed by the former Liberal National Coalition state government is about “ensuring access to high quality education”. He criticised Abbott government cuts to community grants earlier this year. “It meant that people in Frankston with a disability, as well as those experiencing homelessness, financial distress and family violence, were placed under even more pressure.

“I am in constant contact with welfare groups and would invite our Liberal Prime Minister to visit Frankston and explain to us exactly how increasing financial pressure on already vulnerable families by shamefully cutting health and education funding is helping us break the cycle of disadvantage,” Mr Edbrooke said. The member for Frankston says he does not support an increase in the GST because it would hit those on low incomes the hardest. He agreed the report highlighted endemic social problems in Frankston North. “Nobody likes these statistics but this is our home,” Mr Edbrooke said. “We have to do all we can to ensure

the Frankston community thrives.” Frankston North Community Centre coordinator Janet Reid said the council run centre sees “a lot of good things happening” in the area too. “We’re providing low-cost accessible training and education to help people step into employment,” she said. “The Frankston North community is fabulous and welcoming and engaging.” In the Dropping off the Edge report Frankston North ranked in the top 10 per cent of “most disadvantaged” suburbs Rosebud West, Hastings and Rosebud were also named as areas also suffering from entrenched disadvantage but were not listed in the top 10 per cent.

ROTARY clubs on the Mornington Peninsula are among 1100 across Australia urging families to “have the chat” about organ and tissue donation with their loved ones and register their donation decisions during DonateLife Week. Rotary’s participation in the week was prompted by the story of Jack Wilson, grandson of one of the 21 Rotary District Governors in Australia. He was born with nephrotic syndrome, a congenital kidney disease causing lengthy hospital stays. Jack had to return to hospital initially five days each week for four-hour sessions of protein infusion, then 10 hours home dialysis every night. From three days after his birth in mid-2013 he had a tube protruding from his body – no bath, no beach, no pool – until, at the age of 21 months, his life was transformed by the gift of a kidney. “For Jack, a new kidney has meant a return to normal eating, boundless energy and no more lines, with their risk of infection, mother Tammy Wilson said. “It’s such an incredible gift. We know that he will need more kidney transplants throughout his life, but for now we’re excited and hopeful for his future.” Professor Jonathan Craig, of Westmead Children’s Hospital in Sydney, said Australia was a world leader in organ-and-tissue transplants – a position dependent “on the compassion of ordinary Australians who make a decision which enables us to change lives”. Rotary Club of Frankston Long Island president Penny Sayer said each organ-and-tissue donor could transform the lives of 10 or more people. “It’s important to go onto the internet and register your donation decision on the Australian Organ Donor Register and, importantly, that you share your decision with those closest to you,” she said. “Registered organ donors are truly a gift to the world. “To optimise every potential organ-and-tissue donor, we each need to have the chat with our family members so that we know each other’s donation decision. “It can make a life-saving difference to those

waiting for a transplant. It can be the difference between seeing and being blind, mobility and never walking again.” In Australia, families are always asked to confirm the donation decision of their loved ones before transplants can proceed. “Families that have discussed and know each other’s donation decisions are much more likely to support donations proceeding,” Ms Sayer said. “This is a conversation that could one day save lives.” DonateLife Week is Australia’s national awareness week to promote organ and tissue donation. It is led by the Organ and Tissue Authority. See donatelife.gov.au or call the Rotary Club of Frankston Long Island 0415 109 859. For information on Jack ring Maurie Stack 0427 668 821.

In brief

Getting creative Bus trip: Leading Senior Constable Ingrid Ebert with Kevin Johnson, board member Menzies Caring for Kids, at the hand over of a mini bus that will ferry disadvantaged youth to programs run by Victoria Police youth resource officers and community groups.

Bus to help youth work POLICE youth resource officers (YROS)were frustrated by poor attendances at programs to help disadvantaged youth reconnect with the community. Then they discovered that young people faced problems getting to programs because of a lack of transport or Myki card credit. “Our experience, which is backed by Census results, identifies transport as a major limiting factor,” said Frankston YRO Andrea Kardos. So, the officers working in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region asked Menzies Caring for Kids for help. The Frankston-based organisation that has a history of childcare going back to 1851 has agreed to provide a

12-seater van and pay maintenance and running costs for three years. Menzies Caring for Kids president Georgia Symmons said Menzies wanted to help organisations like Victoria Police “to make a real difference in the lives of at risk young people”. She said that Menzies looked forward to working with police and other agencies on the project. Over the past five years police YROs have been involved in programs aimed at reconnecting young people with the community, family and education. The programs are aimed at victims, offenders, and those at risk of entering any form of out-ofhome care. An example is Blue Light Basketball at Somerville Recreation Centre

each Tuesday during the school year. Offenders from Frankston Children’s Court, residents of DHHS residential accommodation, disengaged youth, community volunteers, police and other youth services arrange the basketball as an engagement opportunity. The DHHS residents are invited and express their intent to attend, but rarely show, said Andrea Kardos. “When asked about the reasons, they say that no worker was available to drive them, and it’s too hard to get to Somerville by public transport. “As a result they are not engaged.” Kardos said that the mini bus would ensure the young people’s involvement in activities.

WHAT’S NEW...

Futsal hits Frankston FINALLY Futsal has hit the peninsula with the opening of Futsal Mania in Frankston. “Futsal is a game similar to indoor soccer and is played on a firm flat surface on a court ranging in size from that of a standard basketball court,” says Effi Houridis, the woman who had the idea to bring the sport to the area. “I started it with my business partner, Dean.” “My two boys play soccer and we were sick of driving all over Victoria for them to play so decided to start a Futsal down here,” said Effi. Futsal is a competition style program of indoor soccer. The ball is smaller and heavier to the outdoor ball and has a reduced bounce. The smaller area in which the game is played on demands quick reflexes, pinpoint passes and fast thinking. Because of these characteristics, soccer coaches are starting to run Futsal sessions for juniors and even professional soccer teams. Famous professional soccer players like Ronaldo, Maradona, Ronaldinho and even the great Pele have already declared they played Futsal in their childhood. “Futsal is an exciting game for children as well as adults and is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. We have beginners and people who have been playing indoor and outdoor soccer as well. It’s basically like the street soccer we used to play as kids,” said Effi. Futsal Mania started this term at John Paul College in Frankston. “We play Mondays and Fridays after school, and invite people to join the teams or start their own,” said Effi. To find out more about Futsal Mania, phone 1300 001 359 or register at www.futsalmania. com.au

SET in one of the newer estates of town, well-known for quality built, high-class homes, this beautifully presented property enjoys a slightly elevated position on a 619 square metre block. The sprawling interior has a modern look and delivers spacious living zones for all. The master bedroom suite is at the front, and combined with the formal lounge makes for an excellent parents retreat with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom included. Further on is a study alcove, and then the splendid main living area beckons with a vast tiled space incorporating a neat

galley-style kitchen with wall oven and dishwasher. A beautiful dining space will accommodate friends in comfort and the adjoining family room has a built-in bar, and from here you step out to the alfresco entertainment area at the side. The backyard has been well-landscaped with neat paths keeping lawn maintenance to a minimum. There is a private stand of palm trees and garden beds have been laid out with river stones. In the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wing are three good-sized bedrooms, all with built-in robes, that share the main bathroom, and for console games and relaxing, there

is a great rumpus room. The property really does make the most of the block with not only a double garage under the roof line, but a high-span double carport alongside. A handy extra is the storage room at the rear of the garage which can be utilised as a home office. The location is very peaceful and the immaculate condition throughout will no doubt see this property attract interest from downsizers moving off larger properties and executive families looking for a lifestyle of elegance and quality come auction day.

Serious tax offenders brought to justice THERE are currently close to 100 serious criminal tax offence matters before the courts across the country. This is a result of government agencies working together to catch tax offenders and bring them to justice. Serious fraud offences that go before the courts include use of falsified invoices to claim deductions not entitled to, GST refund fraud, excise fraud (alcohol and fuel tax credit fraud), identity crime with suspected links to overseas organised crime groups, and income tax refund fraud. The courts view tax crime seriously and will impose lengthy gaol sentences for the worst offenders. This year gaol sentences have included an 8 year term of imprisonment (with 5 years to serve) for a man who claimed large false diesel fuel rebate claims. “These people are the worst kind of tax cheats. They were calculated in their attempts to -deliberately commit fraud and evade their tax obligations, ultimately stealing from the Australian public, and placing an unfair burden on others who are doing the right thing”

Deputy Commissioner Michael Cranston said. Mr Cranston said that the ATO, Australian Federal Police, the Australian Crime Commission and the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecution (CDPP) work closely together, along with other relevant agencies, as part of a whole-of-government approach to address tax crime and ensure serious offenders are caught and face the full force of the law. The ATO has a role in detecting, investigating and referring matters for prosecution to the CDPP. “We have sophisticated systems in place to detect and catch those who do the wrong thing. Our current focus for prosecution referrals is on wealthy individuals who engage in serious evasion, as well as promoters and facilitators of tax fraud including those in positions of trust such as accountants and lawyers.” Mr Cranston said. Deputy Director CDPP, James Carter said that as an independent prosecution service, the CDPP works with partner agencies to advance their goals and priorities through prosecution in accordance with the Prosecution Policy of

the Commonwealth. “Tax fraud prosecutions protect the revenue, ensuring that offenders are brought to justice and potential offenders are deterred”. In a recent matter Her Honour Judge Mary Sexton of the Melbourne County Court said “Tax fraud is not a victimless crime. Tax revenue funds essential services that the community relies upon including schools and healthcare and it’s important we protect our tax system.” In addition to gaol time, courts also may impose fines and other penalties including reparation orders, where offenders are ordered to repay stolen funds, and proceeds from crime may be seized. People who are unclear of their tax or superannuation obligations, or are struggling to meet their obligations, should contact the ATO on 13 28 61 to discuss their situation. If you believe someone is doing the wrong thing, you can report suspected tax fraud bycalling the ATO on 1800 060 062.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

A call to all recruits for enlistment Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their usual monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, *** AS a donation to the Red Cross Fund (Lord Mayor’s List) we notice that Messrs Jas Paterson and Coy (of which Mr Hy Masterton of Frankston is Principal) has donated £100. *** FOR the month of June, the proceeds of the sale of Belgian Buttons, in the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, amounted to £38 16s. This amount includes £6 8s for buttons sold by Miss Broomhead. *** MADAME Melba’s concert, in the Melbourne Town Hall, on Thursday evening, in aid of Lady Stanley’s Red Cross Fund for sick and wounded Australians soldiers was a magnificent success and realised £3000, making a total of £30,000 raised by Madame Melba in aid of patriotic funds. *** ON Wednesday next, being the first anniversary of the declaration of war by Great Britain, there will be a celebration of Holy Communion at St Paul’s Church, Frankston at 7 45 am. and a special service of Intercession from 7.30 to 7.55 in the evening, before the meeting in the Mechanics’. *** A cheque for £7 18s 6d was remitted from Langwarrin, this week, to the ‘Lady Stanley’ Fund for wounded, or sick, returned Australian soldiers.

This is a very satisfactory start, and with such a good working Committee and energetic secretary, it is expected that each month’s work will show equally satisfactory results. *** MRS Moloney notifies in our advertising columns that she has purchased the hotel business lately carried on by Mr W. Schultz, at the Pier Hotel, Frankston. Mrs Maloney has had long experience in the hotel keeping business in West Australia, and she intends to fully keep up the good reputation gained by the former proprietor in catering for the comfort of her patrons. She is having the premises thoroughly renovated and refurnished,and will have everything in applepie order by the time that the usual influx of summer visitors arrive. *** A pleasant surprise was afforded S. M. Durham, Garrison Sergeant Major Prisoners of War Depot, Langwarrin, when the members of the Guard force gathered to give him a social evening and present him with a new riding equipment, in the form of a new saddle, bridle, whip, and spurs. It was a tribute of the warm appreciation and respect which the guard bear for their instructor. Sergeant Major Durham is something more than a popular man. He is a strong man in every way. An early riser, lover of classics, keen observer and vigorous thinker. He has given the guard the wealth of his experience of 21 years service for the Empire, in Britain, Asia and Africa, with a good

conduct medal and a pension. He recently retired from the Imperial Army and at the urgent request of the Defence Department he entered the Victorian service. He was specially selected by Lieut Algie for the onerous position of Instructor to the Langwarrin Guard. *** OVER thirty parcels of old linen for use as bandages and other Red Cross purposes were handed in at the Frankston Depot on Tuesday last. Various other donations were received, to be used as the committee thought best. Linen sheet Miss Elliot, portable deck chair Mrs Clements, field glasses Mr W. Gregory, cushion (Irish crochet) Mrs Membrey, cosy and cushion, Mrs Wilcox, 1 doz jug covers Mrs Gumme, cloth for slippers Mrs Ward, 12 yds military flannel Mrs H. Garrood, pair. gold earrings Miss Gregory, packet knitting cotton Mrs Hartland. During the afternoon music was rendered by Mrs Mc’Cormack and Miss Gray. The Frankston Depot will in future be open on Wednesday afternoons from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Mechanics’ Hall, *** MR Oscar Bailey announces that he will address the electors of the North Riding at the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, on Saturday evening 14th August when he will give “his lucid exposition of a national and progressive policy.” Cr T. Ritchie after six years of municipal life, notifies that he intends to retire from the council table when his

time expires next month. As a councillor of the North Riding of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, Cr Ritchie has devoted a deal of his time to the service of the ratepayers, and during his term as President of the Shire he filled the office with credit to himself and the Shire. The ratepayers are losing a good servant, and his presence will be missed at the deliberations of the Council. In response to a requisition from a number of rate payers, Mr W. P. Mason has consented to allow himself to be nominated for the seat rendered vacant in the North Riding of the Frankston and Hastings Shire by the retirement of Cr Ritchie. Mr Mason takes an active interest in the welfare of the district, in which he has resided for many years, and, if elected, should make a useful member. For the Centre Riding the retiring member is Cr Griffeth, and for the East Riding Cr Watt. The following gentlemen retire in the Flinders Shire:—East Riding, Cr J. Davis, Central Riding, Cr A V Shaw ; West Riding, Cr D M’Farlan; In the Mornington Shire the retiring members are:—Crs J. Male, G. Flood, and J. D. Grover. *** ONCE more, in “Life” for August, Dr Fitchett gives us a wonderful review of the fighting of the month in Europe, and on the Sea. In the course of one section of this review Dr Fitchett frankly admits that the month has been one of disappointments. In his usual vigorous and picturesque style Dr Fitchett then outlines the fighting of

the month on both fronts and in Gallipoli. Having done so, he proceeds to point out the bright spots in the landscape and to analyse the disappointments. The result is that he shows us very clearly that in reality the balance during the month has tipped in the Allies’ favour. It is a practical and heartening pronouncement that gives the reader a wonderful clear-eyed view of the war. Readers of the August issue of “Life” will notice that the Editor is by no means devoting his entire space on the war; on the contrary, we find such illustrated articles as “Morrissey of the Snakes” illustrated with some remarkable photographs, and telling some of the adventures of that widely known character, who says of himself: “I reckon I’m the chap that they wrote the proverb about that ‘a rollin’ stone gathers no moss.’” *** RECRUITS WANTED Every man physically fit is wanted. Conditions of enlistment- Age—18 to 45 years. Minimum height—5 feet 2 inches. Chest measurement— 33 inches. Persons desiring to enlist should apply at the nearest Town Hall, Shire Hall, Drill Hall, or Recruiting Depot, where arrangements will be made for medical examination. Persons who are considered suitable will be granted free railway tickets to the Metropolis for final medical examination and enlistment. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 31 July, 1915

A Grain of Salt The “them and us” predicament, regurgitated courtesy of Madam Bronwyn’s flight to Geelong, surely overcharged at $5,227, never forgetting honest Joe’s living away from home allowance. Being a Collingwood supporter I’ve lived with it close to a lifetime. Why the Coalition gets the votes; concluding half of them are brainwashed Herald Sun readers? Surely they realise Tony’s mob are for big business and high income earners? Treasurer Joe Hockey, Minister for Orchestrated Misinformation, is talking tax reform yet Godfather Tony has ruled out changing arrangements for superannuation and negative gearing? Along comes a 15 per cent GST proposition, seemingly from the states but likely orchestrated from Canberra together with softeners “compensation for low income households and pensioners”? “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” *** Deeply remorseful; the criminals’ code. I’m a lifetime veteran of feeling deeply remorseful. We live in a brave new world where even footballers (Sam Mitchell, kneeing and Joel Selwood, chicken wing tackle) take up the cause, and apologise? “Sorry”? The question is do they mean it? The second question is “who cares?”. Generally we all know when we have done wrong. We can soften it to some extent by promising inwardly to mend our ways, and (if it’s a bad one; there’s always bad ones) we live the life hoping to never being found out. Due to my age I can probably tell one or two bad ones (a minor benefit of old age), but I shall refrain; ASIO might be tuning in. “Them” will surely soften their guilt in old age but it will never fade away completely. ***

Gambling is an acquired disease and should be treated with caution, ever wary of the trap, that next step; the addicted gambler who bets to lose, playing on till zero. I’ve witnessed it more times than I can count. If you’re not one of those be aware of it, in control, to offset the danger. You can’t win obviously when the various forms take a percentage out of each dollar. You conveniently ignore this; your form of entertainment, pleasure; no argument. Winning can give the player a sense of superiority, a euphoric feeling multiplied ten times the other way if you lose your shirt, which I did more than once in my 20s. More importantly (for limit gamblers) if you’re winning $400 do you play on and risk losing the lot on the chance of a winning streak? That’s the mistake. The pleasure gambler has the strength to walk away. The limit gambler should then apply his/ her limit the other way; reset your limit thus leaving with a profit. If it’s $100, walk away with $300. My advice, which will be ignored: set a limit, if not each time, at least weekly. Pleasure, like sex, requires a form of control, more in gambling than most of life’s other pleasures. And cut out salt (this column excepted). With apologies to my RSL. [Dare I say it? You cannot lose if you do not play]. *** COTA, the council on the aging, is having a “Let’s talk about sex conference” on the 8th and 9th September. The subject of older people and sexual intimacy with speakers Ita Buttrose, Kaz Cooke, Adele Horan and Catherine Barrett. No male speakers? Apparently their right to a satisfying and fulfilling sex life with

no provision in aged care planning. I quite like the idea of talking about it; from memory. *** Tony’s mob is up in arms over workers being short-changed? Gleaned from the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and/or the inquisition of Billy Boy Shorten. This from the WorkChoices crowd and the 2014 budget? I liked the piece from Herald Sun noting “the vision of Shorten guzzling water seemed damaging”. (A strange set of values from News Limited; the evils of drinking a glass of water, but reasonable for Tony Abbott to stand in front of signs describing Julia Gillard as a “witch” and “Bob Brown’s bitch” together with his two darlings, Bronwyn Bishop and Sophie Mirabella?). The premise of this Royal Commission makes a mockery of fairness and the political process, costing almost as much as they spend on the total arts allocation. More importantly the attack on Q&A, and by extension our ABC. Give it to News Limited and we are seriously threatened by brainwashing par excellence. [For the record I haven’t voted Labor in 30 years; equally, I haven’t voted Liberal]. *** The Jolson Story (1946). Jolson (Larry Parkes) in the cinema watching his first Hollywood film, humming the song on the screen. The fellow behind taps him on the shoulder saying “Jolson’s doing alright, mister”. To the Reclaim Australia crowd...“Tony’s doing alright, boys and girls”. *** If (or when?) the Liberals think Tony Abbott has gone too far they may welcome Malcolm Turnbull. Not

By Cliff Ellen that they like him, but they like winning even better, and Malcolm will surely get the vote in preference to Billy Boy Shorten. Is Malcolm still best mates with Godwin Grech? *** Collingwood’s season 2015 has bitten the proverbial so I now concentrate on barracking for the teams playing the teams I hate, and if I hate both of them I win either way; unless it’s Hawthorn. *** Welcome to VicRoads, speed limits and roundabouts our specialty; always more, never less...A two page feature in The Age (recipe for health and happiness); two pages

of nonsense...The shipping industry (Greece’s biggest) is tax exempt?... Have WE won the ashes yet?... Not that I miss him, but where is Rove McManus?...Leigh Sales; tough on Labor, soft on Malcolm Turnbull?...“Every man hath a good and a bad angel attending on him in particular, all his life long. Hatred hath an end, envy never ceaseth. Ambitious men may not cease, but as a dog in a wheel, a bird in a cage, or a squirrel in a chain they climb and climb still, with much labour, but never make an end, never at the top” [Robert Burton]...hooroo... cliffie9@bigpond.com Frankston Times 27 July 2015

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Rock and roll and tales of excess (baggage) By Stuart McCullough I TAKE it all back; every last word. For years I have poured scorn on anything that looked like a boy band. I have derided their musical output and questioned their artistic integrity. I have dished out piping hot spoonfuls of opprobrium. I ridiculed the way they dressed, danced and the dreadful songs they sang. Not anymore. I have officially seen the light. For I am now convinced that these confected groups are the repositories of the true rock and roll spirit. This change of heart is not the result of a song or even a particularly challenging dance manoeuvre but is all thanks to one man, or boy, if you prefer. Namely, one James McElvar. I’ll be the first to admit that I’d never heard of the boy band ‘Rewind’. I don’t own any of their albums, have never visited them at ‘Soundcloud’ and, if I’m being completely honest, wouldn’t recognize the group if I tripped over them down at the local fruit and veggie shop. But ‘Rewind’ is a real group and James McElvar is a member. More than a mere boy band, they are carriers of the torch that has been passed from one generation of rock and roll outlaws to the next. The group was catching a flight from London to Glasgow. Young James was informed he had one more carry-on bag than he was allowed. His options were limited: he could either pay a forty-five pound fee for the execrable crime of having excess baggage, or he could dispose of his bag altogether. James, however, saw a third option. Young McElvar was not about to be pushed around by the powers that be –

Source: Twitter that’s not what rock and roll is about. Instead, like generations of musicians before him, he decided to stick it to the man. Rather than abandon his surplus suitcase, James decided to wear the

entire contents. This meant donning six t-shirts, four jumpers, two jackets, one pair of shorts, three pairs of jeans, two pairs of jogging pants and two hats. It was the ultimate fashion statement, a statement that also said, ‘you

can try and charge me forty five quid, but you can never tame the music.’ But as stylish as it was, it significantly impeded young James’s attempts to walk to the aircraft. Things only got worse once he was on board. In the event that you decided to dress up like the Michelin Man, fair warning: you may experience difficulties putting your seatbelt on. Not only was James unable to comply with even the most straightforward requirements of the in-flight safety demonstration, he started to overheat. By ‘overheat’, we’re not talking about the occasional droplet of sweat but the kind of meltdown you normally expect to see when the Wicked Witch of the West gets drenched. The boy was positively melting. Airline cabin crew are prepared for almost anything, including overheating boy band members. Responding to the urgent situation, the crew took off the extraneous clothing – a process which must have felt like peeling an onion or a gigantic boy band version of ‘pass the parcel’ - and laid the stricken passenger down on a row of seats. But it was to no avail. James was violently ill and then fainted. Now that’s what I call rock and roll. The only thing he didn’t do was kick over an amplifier and toss a pair of drum sticks into the audience. There’s not nearly enough of this kind of thing these days. It used to be that acts of rock and roll defiance were reported on a daily basis. I can still recall the furor surrounding the refusal of Jimi Hendrix to touch off the number 67 tram to Carnegie. And the time Pig Pen from the Grateful Dead failed to

cast his vote in the Stonnington Council Elections, to say nothing of the day that Jim Morrison ‘forgot’ to say thank you after a particularly tricky merge onto the Monash from the Warrigal Road on-ramp. I had thought we were never going to see such brazen acts of rock and roll debauchery again. I am happy to be proved wrong. In a way, James has reminded us all of time when rock music meant something. His actions in trying to dodge an excess baggage fee recall an era when the music of youth was about nonconformity and rebellion. My hope is that it doesn’t end here. Perhaps other musicians will be inspired by this simple but lonely act of insurrection and will find their own way to stick it to the man. I look forward to the day when Taylor Swift refuses to offer her bags for inspection and Harry from One Direction takes the ticket he got for overstaying his welcome in a two hour parking spot and sets it on fire, Hendrix style, before kicking over a postbox to make his point. Clothes maketh the man. In this case, clothes maketh the man feel very, very ill. Luckily for all, James McElvar has recovered but I hope he’s learned something. No doubt he’s received plenty of criticism for his actions. This misses the point. Before news of this event, I’d never even heard of James or his band, Rewind. In fact, I am yet to hear a lick of their music. In that sense, I think James may well have achieved more than he set out to. For me, I can only say that I am looking forward to the next exciting rock and roll adventure from James. Rock on. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

STORM IN A TEACUP A Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery exhibition – 24 July – 27 September 2015

Storm in a Teacup is one of Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s major exhibitions for 2015. The exhibition reflects upon tea drinking in Australia. Beginning with well-known paintings of the afternoon tea table from E. Phillips Fox and Arthur Streeton, the exhibition goes on to explore the darker side of tea drinking and the social and environmental impacts of the humble cup of tea. Michael Cook’s Object (table), 2015, provides an alternative history to the narrative of colonialism while Sharon West and Adam Hill both use humour to subvert colonial understandings of the afternoon tea party as an occasion of refined gentility. Storm in a Teacup features paintings, works on paper, photographs, ceramics, sculpture and installation by 34 artists, including Charles Blackman, Julia deVille, Julie Dowling, E. Phillips Fox, Rosalie Gascoigne, Adam Hill, Danie Mellor, Darren Siwes and Anne Zahalka.

A range of special events accompany the exhibition, including After Noon, Sunday 26 July, 2pm-5pm, adults $4, concession $2, discover how artists Samantha Everton, Penny Byrne and Clare Humphries have explored the afternoon tea party, and the Flying Bookworm Theatre Company presents a pantomime for 5-10 year olds on Saturday 26 September, 10.30am-12.30pm, children $15, adults $5. The Gallery’s self-serve café has been transformed into a 19th century tea exchange. Enjoy a range of Mornington-based Bespoke Tea and scones, jam and cream available 11am-4pm on Sundays. MORNINGTON PENINSULA REGIONAL GALLERY Location: Civic Reserve, Dunns Road, Mornington Gallery Hours: Tuesday–Sunday 10am–5pm Exhibition admission fees: $4 adults / $2 conc General information: 03 5975 4395 www.mprg.mornpen.vic.gov.au

ROB PAPP UP CLOSE & UNPLUGGED By Terri Lee Fatouros Rob Papp wooed diners at eighteen 78 @ Brooklands in Tanti Ave, Mornington recently when he was their featured artist in Come Dine with Me A La Carte dinner during the Mornington Winter Jazz Festival. All guests were greeted with a complimentary glass of Champagne on arrival, which set the mood for the quality jazz being played.

which sees him gigging all over Melbourne and NSW. However, the night I caught up with him in his Manhattan Trio outfit saw his broad jazz, blues, and rock spectrum shine through in the style of jazz he was playing. There’s no doubt Papp loses himself while playing. With eyes closed he’s riding his muse and you get the feeling this guy knows what’s going on, and knows it’s happening around him.

His ensemble aptly named Rob Papp and The Manhattan Trio comprised of Dale finch on double bass, Peter Cottier on drums and Papp on Gibson L5 guitar. Their intelligent rendition of modern jazz-fusion with overtones of funk was smooth, dry and simply…cool. Papp’s versatility and innovative musical prowess sets standards and it’s no wonder he is well loved and respected by fellow musicians and fans alike. He started playing at age 15 in his father’s jazz band then cut his teeth on rock and roll and continued to play just about everything else afterwards. A singer-songwriter in his own right, Papp has gigged in numerous bands, duos, gone solo, as well as been a recording artist. To quote from his bio: “Rob’s career was influenced from a very young age by College of the Arts founder Bruce Clarke who tutored Rob in a comprehensive education of reading, writing and playing music, and took him on as a protégé, teaching him all he knew about playing jazz”. Papp left for America in his earlier years to study at Guitar Institute of Technology in LA where he met and learnt from musical greats like Joe Pass, Tommy Tedesco, Howard Roberts, Jo Pass, Ike Izzacs, Bruce Clarke, Pat Martino, Steve Vi, and Robben Ford, geniuses in their own right and gained invaluable musical and technical experiences whilst living there amongst it all.

Cottier’s use of brushes instead of sticks in most of the songs and Finch’s intuitive bass, which incidentally is the distinguishing sound of a guitar trio in fusion jazz works in concert with Papp’s lead. The guys ebb and flow, as each knows instinctively when to allow the other to lead or go solo within the structure of the songs.

So impressive is Papp’s unassuming biography and personality that not many realize he established Blue Note College of Music in Well St, Frankston way back in 1988. This college helps so many musical hopefuls gain knowledge, confidence and invaluable experience to go out and passionately perform. Brendan Meyers now runs the college and has done so for the past six years, who incidentally with Ross Clark, affectionately known as Rossco started the Peninsula Blues Club held on the second Sunday of each month at the Frankston Bowling Club. Peninsula Blues Club attracts big name artists and is a must see each month. Papp’s repertoire is vast. He’s played at Crown Casino, The Melbourne and Sydney Art Centres, Melbourne Club and The Entertainment Centre, just to name a few. Currently Papp’s main band is Blueshead,

Jazz is often played to an arrangement but with allowances of improvisation within the framework of the song. Cottier is no stranger to jazz either. He’s been the resident drummer in the Cerberus Navy Big Band for years and played in Top 40 cover bands and an Irish band. The same is said for Finch whose expertise on the double bass initiates that popular modern jazz-fusion sound we all recognize when heard. The guys incorporated their jazz bent with funk overtones on some cool tunes from George Benson, Eddy Harris, Miles Davis and Leon Russell. Putting one’s own experiences into the framework of a jazz song is a noticeable thing amongst jazz players and the boys were no exception to this. As Papp explained: “Knowing the framework of a song and understanding western harmonies and mathematics enables one to play rhythmically off ideas developed in

each tune as its being played. So you can either stay close to the melody or can go right out there. The span of what we want to do, and as a guitar trio sets our parameters rhythmically as we are not stuck to it like a blues or covers band for example, where you have to just play the tune.” Of late Papp’s been writing his own instrumentals in jazz fusion style as well as writing roots and blues based tunes with tendencies towards western harmonies. “My reference points are everyone from Louis Armstrong, McCoy Tyner to John McLaughlin, and in the styles of improv, I emulate them within my playing of that tune. So I might take on the voice of one of them but be more out there, play the melody, put in the chords, and think ‘what would the likes of say, McCoy Tyner do with this tune as he plays his keyboard’, so I think like that. Then I don’t care what these guys do,” he says cheekily while nodding his head towards Cottier and Finch, who chorus “We just fit in”. Papp isn’t into planning his shows as everything is different and depends on the venue. With his preferred genre of blues and his open admittance of being addicted to it, it’s no wonder his originals are laced with strong tones of blues jazz and modern rock overtones. Papp gigs everywhere on the peninsula, up town and all over. He is well sought after by most musicians due to his vast knowledge and experience and is a real pleasure to watch.

Stringer ‘best on’ in milestone NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt GUY Stringer celebrated his 400th game against on Saturday with five goals and a best on ground performance against Tyabb. Stringer, suffering from a torn bicep which he carried into the milestone game, booted his first of five goals at the nine minute mark of the first quarter. He dominated at centre half forward while fellow forwards Myles Pitt and Leigh Poholke booted 10 and seven goals respectively. Tyrren Head continued his sensational season while Leigh Treeby absolutely ensured that he was at his best for Stringer’s big game. Stringer will now miss the rest of the season after getting his bicep operated on this week. As expected, Sorrento completely dominated the game, booting 12 goals in the first half and 21 in the second hour. They beat Tyabb 33.18 (216) to 3.3 (21). Trent Urquart in his first game was the best of the Yabbies, while the evergreen Scott Pickerskill, who would have played a lot of footy against Guy Stringer, was also vintage in his performance. A top three finish is again a very realistic target for Hastings after it caused an upset and knocked over Somerville. In the match of the round, the Blues jumped out of the blocks and led by 20 points at the first change. Despite an Eagles revival in the second quarter, the visitors booted 10 goals to five in the second half to run out comfortable winners, 17.14 (116) to 11.10 (76). The Eagles’ defensive side was challenged by a four quarter effort on Saturday and it failed to respond. The Blues however, were almost perfect. They were super impressive defensively first and foremost and then were able to make the opposition pay on the attack. Dale Alanis has been in super form this season and he was again with four goals, while Luke Clark and the elusive Steve Robb booted five between them. Matt Clifford was at his best, Paul Rogasch was unstoppable with two

goals and Josh Mulheron was the winner of the ruck battle. Timmy McGenniss was Somerville’s best and together with Adrian Ridout booted three goals, while Todd Farrelly and Kane McKenzie worked hard in the back half. Rosebud maintained its position on top of the ladder with a hard fought, low scoring game against Dromana. The Buds had 14 scoring shots to six in the first half but managed only an 18 point lead. In the second half, the Buds booted 9.9 to 6.3 to finish the game 12.20 (92) to 7.9 (51). Thirty-two scoring shots to 16 didn’t tell the story of the day on the scoreboard. Tom Baker booted another four for the Buds while Jack Jarman and Rhys

Bancroft were outstanding. Kieran Voekl, Matt Jones and Christian Ongarello were the best of the Tigers. Rye, along with Rosebud, have moved a game clear of Somerville and Hastings on the ladder. The Demons were too strong for Crib Point on Saturday, opening up a 21 point buffer in the first quarter and going on to win by more than 10 goals, 16.18 (114) to 6.9 (45). Andrew Dean and Adrian Gileno again worked well together up forward with four goals each while Ben Winters-Kerr was outstanding in his small, pressure forward role, booting three. Kris Bardon was outstanding for the second week in a row and Daniel

Schwind was superb again in the ruck. ‘Schwindy’ has become a valuable tool for Rye coach Josh Moore and has made life tough for Rhett Sutton to get back into the team. Daniel White, Kyle Arnott and Shayne Ainsworth were the best of the Magpies. Devon Meadows were on show in the RPP Match of the Round on Saturday against Frankston Bombers and their response was a 14.16 (100) to 5.12 (42) demolition. Troy Aust booted five and Dylan Hand four goals for the Meadows while Jayden Sullivan and Billy Hayes were superb. James Degenhardt and Matty Windsor were the best of the Bombers, along with Sam Drake and the ever-

consistent Jason Kingsbury. In the final game, Red Hill stayed in the finals hunt with a hard fought, come from behind 6.16 (52) to 6.5 (41) victory over Pearcedale. Young gun defenders Luke Chandler and Jonah Siverson were outstanding once again for the Hillmen, while Daniel McNamara steered the ship in the back half. The Panthers led by 11 points at quarter time and led by one and four points at half and three-quarter time. Daniel Heijden worked hard for the visitors while Dylan Hoare and Ben Mitchell were also on top of their game.

Pythons drop to fifth after loss PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt PINES has dropped to fifth place on the ladder after losing a high quality game against Mornington at Eric Bell Reserve on Saturday. In a thrilling contest, the match was played in two halves. Pines booted 16 of its 18 goals in the first and third quarters while Mornington booted 18 of its 20 goals in the second and final terms. Suffice to say that it was the wind that won on the day. In the end though, despite playing away from home, the Doggies proved too strong, winning 20.11 (131) to 18.8 (116).

Mornington were 43 points down at quarter time and 35 points down at three quarter time. Despite the strong wind advantage, to come back from these deficits is not an easy task. However the Dogs; through the likes of Jackson Calder with seven goals, Michael Gay’s dominance in the ruck and Joel Miller playing a best on ground game, were able to be an exception to the rule. Pines were far from disgraced against a team that played in a grand final last season. The Pythons had 11 goal kickers, Shaun White being the best of them with four majors. Adam Maling and Corey Ash were also outstanding performers for Pines.

Edithvale-Aspendale jumped Pines on the ladder and moved to fourth with a 18.17 (125) to 7.6 (48) victory over Karingal. Mark Meehan booted six goals and Matt Kremmer and Brett O’Hanlon three each while Timmy Mannix was back and at his best. Michael Burke was outstanding for the Bulls with three goals while Aaron Paxton was also outstanding. Frankston YCW were hell bent on reversing the shock loss against Langwarrin earlier in the season and they did it with ease, winning 17.8 (120) to 6.10 (46). David Bodley, Anthony Bruhn and Kyle Hutchison each booted three goals while Ben Credlin and Ash

Eames dominated. The Stonecats opened up the Kangas with a six goal to three behind second quarter. Gerard Brown booted three goals for the Kangas while Blake Harkness shone yet again. Liam Hogan and Rikki Johnston were also at their best of the home team. Mt Eliza had 34 scoring shots to Seaford’s 12 on the weekend and won 14.20 (104) to 6.6 (42). Sam Wettenhall booted four and Justin Van Unen three goals while Jimmy Clayton and Sam Gill continued their splendid seasons. Levi Hughes kicked three goals in his first game for the Tigers while Matt Finn and Luke Smith carried the

can for much of the afternoon. Bonbeach had to wait for a last quarter onslaught to break Chelsea in the battle of the neighbours. In a see-sawing battle that saw Bonbeach in front by just one point at quarter time and two points at the main break and three quarter time, the home side booted 2.4 to two behinds in the last quarter to win 11.12 (78) to 9.7 (61). Owen Hulett was on fire again for the Sharks with four goals while Dylan Jones was influential in the ruck. Chelsea coach Brent Guerra booted four for his side while Brad Clark was silky around the ground and Daine Taylor played arguably his best game. Frankston Times 27 July 2015

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard

Stringer sits comfortably as a legend By Toe Punt THE terms champion, superstar and legend are thrown around way too flippantly in footy circles. A player does a couple of special things and he is a ‘superstar’. Kicks a bag of goals a couple of weeks in a row and he’s a ‘champion’. Champion, superstar and legend are powerful terms in our great game – to be fair, there’s not a hell of a lot of them. However, there’s at least one MPNFL player who sits very comfortably across all three categories – Guy Stringer. On the weekend against Tyabb, Guy Stringer became the first player to reach the 400 game milestone. In strange circumstances, it was his last game of the season too after he tore his bicep against Rosebud the week before. He heads in for surgery this week and won’t be seen on the field again in 2015. However, he made it clear last week that he has no intention of his 400th being his last game. “I’ll go on again next year,” Guy said. “With the Nepean League draw the way it is, I feel like I’m playing Super Rules – one week on and one week off. My body feels fantastic and fresh and whilst it feels like this, I’ll continue to play.” Stringer said reaching milestones was never a consideration when he saddled-up each season. “I play because I love the game. I love competing. I love winning. I love the people I meet and the friendships I make,” Stringer said. “I have always said that I want to play as long as I possibly can. Whilst I’m healthy and can make a contribution, I’ll keep playing. That’s the attitude I have always had and I guess the by-product of that is playing a lot of games.” As well as playing 400 clubs games, Stringer has also played Under 19s at St Kilda, spent three seasons at Frankston Dolphins, played in Darwin, represented Victoria and has played 21 representative games for the MPNFL. Together, he has played 459 senior games and 503 games all up at Under 19, Reserves and Senior level. Those who have ever played with or against Stringer or had the privilege of watching him since he began in 1989, he uses his body as a battering ram. He never takes a sidewards step, flies for

every ball to mark or spoil, runs and carries like few others can and he always has a team first attitude. However, regardless of the rigours of footy and the way he thrashes himself around, Stringer’s longest stint on the sidelines was a three-week hamstring injury. His worst injury was a fractured jaw, care of former St Kilda and Sandringham defender David Grant when he was playing for Frankston. Stringer missed just two weeks with that injury. For those who know Guy, breaking the 400 game barrier and being the talk of the Peninsula for the past three weeks isn’t something that sits comfortably with him. “It’s a little uncomfortable for me to be honest. I play the game because I love the team aspect. It’s never been

Sudoku and crossword solutions

about me and should never be about me. “Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciated the accolades and the phone calls and the efforts people at the club have gone to but it is a little embarrassing.” I asked Guy all the customary questions, which went something like this. What’s been the highlight of your career? “Definitely the premierships (six with Sorrento and one with Pines). You tend to appreciate the ones when you are older a hell of a lot more. I lost five grand finals too so it certainly makes you appreciate the ones you win. Your biggest influences? “Definitely my Mum Chloe and Dad Keith. They were huge influences on

my career, Mum (who passed three years ago) especially. She would never miss a game. She saw all my representative games, all my junior games, the lot. Dad was there too all the way. In more recent times my wife Sally and kids Rushton, Archie, Olivia and Emmison. Sally has never had a problem with me training and playing footy. Sally has been sensational. Sorrento Football Club is a family club, not a boys club. So it allows your entire family to be involved and share the experience.” The best players you’ve played with? “I’ve been blessed playing with the likes of Tim Allen, Paul Williams, Pat Foy, Brendan Long, Simon Goosey, Claude Samperi, Matty McKay, Paul Theobald, Joey Lane, Mark Berenger,

Damien Clark, Troy Shannon, Greg Doyle, Jack Marshall, Chris Garrett, Grant Johnson, Scott Cameron, Troy Scwarze – all outstanding players. Leigh Treeby and Anthony Agius I have a lot of respect for because they were consistent performers week-inweek-out and always perform well in important games. Your hardest opponent? Simon Goosey. ‘Goose’ always kept you on your toes and could do the impossible. You could never get ‘Goose’ where you wanted him. He was a great player. Unfortunately, with his bicep injury, we won’t get to see Stringer in another finals campaign. Rest assured though at the age of ‘40 something’, he’ll be back out there again in 2016.
