MORNINGTON PENINSULA ON RUN TOWARDS ZERO More than 2000 people are expected to take part in this year’s Arthurs Seat Challenge fun run where they will run towards a future free of deaths and serious injuries on our roads.

The annual event, held this year on Sunday 6 November, will promote road safety education for young people, raising money to support the Fit2Drive program.

In April, the Mornington Peninsula Shire announced it would become the state’s first Towards Zero municipality by implementing a range of road safety initiatives.

Transport Accident Commission chief executive officer Joe Calafiore congratulated the Mornington Peninsula community for its support of the state’s push towards a future where no person loses their life or is seriously hurt on the roads.

“Towards Zero is not just a campaign or a vision, it defines our approach to saving lives and we’re thrilled that the people of the Mornington Peninsula have embraced this positive approach to road safety,” Mr Calafiore said.

“We all have a role to play in reducing deaths and injuries on our roads and would love to see more councils and communities taking a leaf out of Mornington’s book and taking on that responsibility,” Mr Calafiore said.

Young drivers are a key focus of the Towards Zero approach, with road crashes continuing to be one of the leading causes of death for young people aged 18 to 25 years.

Mr Calafiore said from 2011 to 2015, on average 22 per cent of all drivers killed in Victoria were aged 18 to 25, despite the age group representing just 14 per cent of all Victorian licence holders.

NATHAN BARRY

“Our research shows that young drivers are more likely to take risks on the roads and this - combined with inexperience and the fact that they are often driving cars without the latest safety features - is a major reason for this over-representation.”

“Good driver behaviour is learnt from a young age which is why we have a number of road safety programs like Fit2Drive running in schools and regional areas,” Mr Calafiore said.

The Fit2Drive program delivers peer facilitated workshops with Year 11 students in secondary schools and community settings across the state.

The program focuses on providing young drivers and passengers with good decision-making capabilities for when they may be faced with difficult driving situations.

Since the introduction of the Graduated Licensing System, supported by road safety programs such as Fit2Drive, the number of young drivers killed on Victorian roads has been reduced by more than half.

The Arthurs Seat Challenge is an opportunity for schools, families and the community to rally together and raise awareness for the over-representation of young people in road crashes by running towards a future free of deaths and serious injuries on our roads.

You can learn more about Towards Zero by visiting www.towardszero.vic.gov.au or register for the Arthurs Seat Challenge at www.arthursseatchallenge.com.au Schools can book a Fit2Drive Workshop by visiting www.f2d.com.au

Sea to Summit Success in 2015 Last year’s race was one for breaking records, with more than 2000 participants taking part in the most successful Arthurs Seat Challenge to date.

The course of 6.7km started at the Rosebud Jetty and finished at the summit of Arthurs Seat at Seawinds Gardens. Event Ambassador and Commonwealth Games Marathon Runner, Sarah Klein, fired the starter’s gun as people of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels took off on the challenging course. Funds raised from the success of the 2014 event will provide even greater support to schools in meeting the cost of every Fit 2 Drive workshop held at all secondary schools on the Mornington Peninsula, Westernport and Frankston areas for the coming year.

The first runner over the line was Craig Appleby, our new record holder, glided across the line in 25 minutes and 15 seconds. Coming in second was Cameron Hall followed by Nathan Barry, who led the pack early in the race to snaffle third place. Our first female placegetter Rebecca Rosel looked strong as she charged up the hill, crossing the line with a smile and a time of 29 minutes and 59 seconds. Twins, Elly and Sarah Jackson

‘Electrifying’ end for campaigns Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE rail line to Baxter from Frankston has become a battleground between the Liberal and Labor candidates for Dunkley in the lead up to this weekend’s federal election.

Liberal candidate Chris Crewther last week effectively duplicated a Labor pledge last month to fund a business case study into the electrification and duplication of the Frankston-Baxter rail line but also suggested a new

train station at Frankston Hospital and a third rail track between Frankston and Melbourne could be a possibility.

Mr Crewther has committed to a $4 million ‘Dunkley Rail Transport Plan’ if the Turnbull government is re-elected meaning a business case will be carried out no matter which party wins the 2 July federal election.

“Our plan is a strategy to achieve real transport solutions for everyone, from residents to commuters, students and visitors,” he said in a statement.

“Ensuring our communities have efficient transport, adequate parking and

reduced congestion are crucial for liveable cities and jobs and growth.”

Federal Liberal Minister for Major Projects Paul Fletcher joined Mr Crewther at Baxter train station last Thursday to make the $4 million project scoping commitment.

“A third express line from Frankston to the city is required to improve access and ease congestion and to create a 30-minute city,” Mr Fletcher said.

Ms Murphy said the last-minute Liberal plan floating the idea of a train station at the hospital was a “desperate” bid for votes since its feasibility had

not been considered.

“The idea has never been raised by anyone in the extensive community consultation process undertaken for the Frankston Station Precinct Taskforce,” Ms Murphy said.

“Peninsula Health was on that taskforce, and even they didn’t ask for it.

This is policy on the run.”

The Labor hopeful also noted any plan to add a third rail line between Frankston and Melbourne would be predominantly a state government and not federal-led project.

Frankston Council welcomed both

parties’ recognition that the electrification of the rail line to Baxter would free up car parking space in the centre of Frankston and would reduce congestion at Frankston train station.

“Electrification of the Frankston rail line to Baxter will result in residents from Baxter, Frankston South and Langwarrin having greater access to education and employment opportunities, access to TAFE, university and hospital facilities as well as fewer vehicles parked in the city centre,” Mayor Cr James Dooley said.

Appeal for some warmth in winter AUSTRALIA Red Cross is asking Frankston residents to dig deep and help those in need this winter.

Red Cross state executive director Penny Harrison says Frankston people are “warm-hearted”.

“We’re asking Frankston to help because we’ve a strong, loyal support base here, with more than 1700 generous Red Cross members, volunteers and donors, along with many more people who support our Red Cross shop and donate blood,” Ms Harrison said.

People can help by donating winter clothing at the Frankston Red Cross Shop at 13b Thompson St (Mon-Fri 9.30am-4.30pm; Sat 9.30am-1pm), donating blood at the Frankston Blood Service Centre (20 Davey Street or call 13 14 95) or by making a donation.

“Winter is often the hardest time of year for people who are doing it tough.

The support of our local communities, like Frankston, means elderly Australians will receive a reassuring daily phone call to help them stay safe and our neighbours will be better prepared to survive and recover from the next disaster, be it a flood, cyclone or bushfire,” Ms Harrison said.

‘Train pain’ for long-term gain FRANKSTON line commuters are being asked to be patient during a 37day closure of part of the rail line to remove level crossings at Bentleigh, Ormond and McKinnon.

Passengers will have to hop on to buses supplied by Metro Trains between Caulfield and Moorabbin until works end on 31 July.

“These level crossings were among Victoria’s worst, with boom gates down for more than a third of the morning peak. Those boom gates are

history and we’re getting on with removing more crossings,” Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said.

During the closure, 1000 construction workers will work around the clock, excavating more than 250,000 cubic metres – enough to fill the MCG – to lower the train line by up to seven metres and remove the crossings.

The Stony Point line will also be closed down until 31 July since trains running along that line will be unable to travel to Melbourne for mainte-

nance during the partial Frankson line shutdown.

Trains will return at the start of August, and new train stations at Ormond, McKinnon and Bentleigh will be opened to passengers over the month.

See levelcrossings.vic.gov.au for more information about the works, the project and service changes.

Dunkley is Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au WHOEVER loses, Dunkley wins. That’s the state of play for the electorate as the federal election campaign heads into its final week before polling day on 2 July.

The party that wins government on 2 July will be obliged to see through its extensive funding promises for Dunkley even if its candidate does not win the seat.

Both major parties have made pledges worth tens of millions of dollars to sporting clubs, schools and community groups in the marginal seat held by the Liberal Party by 5.5 per cent at the 2013 election.

Former small business minister Bruce Billson’s retirement from politics has seen newcomer Chris Crewther face a fight to see off a challenge from Labor hopeful Peta Murphy to hold the seat for the Liberals.

A Newspoll conducted by Galaxy Research last week suggests Mr Crewther holds a 53-47 per cent advantage after preferences at this stage but the seat remains in the balance heading into Saturday.

Volunteer firefighters’ anger at the Labor state government’s sacking of the Country Fire Authority board to settle a pay and conditions dispute with the United Firefighters Union – and its attendant high-profile media coverage in daily newspapers and TV news bulletins - seems to have impacted on Labor support in Dunkley in the past week.

Ms Murphy says Labor will invest heavily in local infrastructure, education and health. Faster internet speeds thanks to fibre-to-the-premises national broadband network connections, a pledge to fund the final two years of the Gonski plan, worth tens of millions of dollars to Dunkley schools, and a commitment to build a new mental health unit at Frankston Hospital will be high on

the agenda for an incoming Labor government.

“My vision for Dunkley is as a ‘hub of opportunity’ – and I have the infrastructure, education and health policies to back it up,” she said.

“My positive policies will see $200 million in new investment leveraged and mobilised, and create thousands of study and job opportunities.

tiring after 20 years, this is our chance to change that with positive new policies that build and share opportunity.

I want to be the first ever female representative of an electorate named after a pioneering woman. Like Louisa Dunkley, I will encourage girls and women to aim high, and I’ll also fight for fair pay.”

“I will fully fund and deliver our re-

gion’s top sports priorities such as the Frankston Basketball Stadium expansion, regional netball pathways and the Karingal Football Netball Club Pavilion.”

Mr Crewther said he “will carry on from the hard work of Bruce Billson” if elected.

“Locally I am committed to helping small business, tackling the scourge of ice in our community, creating opportunities for our young people and improving local transport infrastructure,” he said.

“The Turnbull government and I are also committed to supporting and protecting the important work of over 60,000 CFA volunteers in Dunkley and Victoriawide.

“As a local small business owner living in Frankston with my wife Grace and baby daughter Yasmin, my first priority is to see jobs created for Dunkley families.

“I ask for your support to continue to make Dunkley a great place to live, work and raise a family, with the best of the country, the city and the coast right on our doorstep.”

Nine other candidates will be listed on the ballot paper in Dunkley.

Jeanette Swain (Greens), Tim Wilms (Liberal Democrats), Ruth Stanfield (Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party), Michael Rathbone (Family First Party), Sally Baillieu (The Arts Party), Jeff Reaney (Australian Christians), Lin Tregenza (Rise Up Australia Party), Jack Tyson (Animal Justice Party) and independent Joseph Toscano could see their preferences, where allocated, get either Mr Crewther or Ms Murphy over the line in Dunkley.

Talking bay fishing SOUTHERN Port Phillip Bay anglers are invited to hear the “Big Fisherman” Rex Hunt and fisheries experts discuss the removal of commercial net fishing and the health of key bay species.

They will be speaking at a conference, 5.309pm, Friday 12 August, at the Altona Theatre.

“We’re keen to share the latest findings from our work in the bay and outline the substantial progress made this year in removing 33 of 43 commercial netters – the flagship commitment in the State Government’s $46 million Target One Million plan,” Fisheries Victoria executive director Travis Dowling said.

“Presentations from experts will cover kingfish and southern calamari research, which has been funded by fishing licence fees, along with habitat improvement efforts in the bay, such as shellfish reef restoration and recreational fishing reefs.”

VRFish’s Dallas D’Silva will discuss the results of the latest Ernst and Young economic study on recreational fishing in Victoria.

Radio 3AW’s David Kramer, who presents the Talking Fishing segment, will share his views on the removal of commercial net fishing “and the exciting times ahead for saltwater anglers in the bay”.

A panel discussion will take questions from the audience allowing everyone an opportunity to have their say on all things fishing.

Mr Dowling said the bay conference would build on the success of last year’s Talk Wild Trout conference at Mansfield, which attracted hundreds of freshwater anglers from across the state.

“We’ll be repeating that conference in November and adding a third to the calendar focusing on Murray cod, at Shepparton, in December,” he said.

Those attending the bay conference should register to assist with event logistics and help organisers cater for a light meal at the interval.

In the swim for winter Winter may be here but at Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC) that doesn’t mean the swimming stops. In fact, it’s been proven that year-round swimming lessons can not only reduce the risk of drowning by 88 per cent among young children, but can also help cognitive development.

Though the traditional swimming season is still just a faraway dream, PARC is encouraging students to continue lessons even through winter, with Term 3 swimming lessons starting on 11 July.

PARC Swim Manager Julia Wood says keeping up lessons over winter is a great way to upskill children so come summertime, they’re as confident as ever.

“Studies show that continuity of lessons is crucial to improving swimming ability, and here at PARC we want to make sure students don’t undo the great work they’ve

already done – like anything, practice is key,” she said.

“In keeping with our mission to arm children with the best possible skills, we’re thrilled to offer unlimited centre access with all PARC Swim memberships, ensuring our patrons can realise the full benefits of regular swimming practice.”

PARC is also introducing a loyalty card where each class attended will add up to rewards including sticker sheets, beanies and treats – sure to keep the children excited about swimming during winter.

There’s also no need to rug up – the centre is always at a balmy 30 degrees and the pool temperature has been increased to fight the winter chill.

PARC Swim memberships start from $16.60 a week and parents can learn more at parcfrankston.com.au/swimschool/learn-to-swim-lessons online.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2016

Presenter seeks new role in politics THE sister-in-law of former Victorian Liberal Premier Ted Baillieu is standing for Dunkley in Saturday’s federal election.

Sally Baillieu admits to not previously having political aspirations but decided to stand after seeing “what is happening in the arts sector … a direct attack upon the human rights of all of us”.

“The prospect of entering politics is terrifying, but sometimes you need to put your hand up about something you think is important, and I felt that this was one of those times.”

Ms Baillieu is one of The Arts Party’s 20 candidates seeking election and the only Victorian aiming for the Lower House.

There are 11 candidates vying for Dunkley, the seat held by former Small Business Minister Bruce Billson for the past 20 years. Mr Billson decided not to seek re-election after being dumped from the ministry after the Liberals replaced then Prime Minister Tony Abbott with Malcolm Turnbull.

The Arts Party’s website carries videoed endorsements from such luminaries as Margaret Pomeranz, Anni Finsterer, John Jarratt, Bryan Brown, Ben Quilty, Lex Marino and Geraldine Turner.

It is the only Australian political party to have a poet-in-residence (Eido Boru) and unashamedly seeks supporters under the banner: “With your help we can get millions for the arts this election.”

ton Peninsula, produces and presents the Arts About program on radio 98.7 RPP FM, worked with Skills Plus in Frankston on an arts program for “disengaged young people” and run The Lineup musical mentoring events

at The Frankston Arts Centre.

“I felt that if I stood, I might just add to the noise of the party and perhaps raise the chance that the Arts might get someone into the Senate,” Ms Baillieu said.

“If the arts sector has a voice there, then we stand a much greater chance of preserving our cultural identity, improving the curriculum and ensuring that we all get to hear and see the viewpoints of others, and exposure to conceptual thinking in our communities and about our communities from others than the mainstream pundits and politicians.”

Ms Baillieu says the arts “provide a mechanism that can improve the quality of life for everybody regardless of their circumstances, race, age or religion”.

“Connection, shared experience, new ways of seeing things, catharsis and inclusion. Art therapy is being prescribed by doctors, the Ministry of Defence is using it these days to treat PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder).”

Ms Baillieu said the programs improved participants’ self-esteem and improved their social and community interaction.

“The arts are not just about entertainment as some think, they determine the way we live with each other and what we think about things,” she said.

“The current government says we cannot afford them, I think that we cannot afford not to protect and nurture them.”

The Arts Party says that although the major parties have failed the arts, the Greens and the team running alongside South Australia’s Nick Xenophon have cherry-picked its policies for themselves.

Although not allocating preferences,

Ms Baillieu says The Arts Party believes it is “clear from the other parties’ policies which we ones would align ourselves towards”.

“We do not want to enter into the deal making process and wish to stand purely on our position that the arts benefit everybody, improve the cultural landscape and want that to be recognised at the political level with representation in Canberra,” she said.

“Successive governments have failed to recognise that the great tree of arts is fed from its roots.

“Recent drastic slashing of funding to arts bodies is killing the roots of this tree, and if this is not corrected, the tree will eventually die.

“We have a lot of artists and art institutions in Dunkley. We also have a lot of people struggling with difficult lives.

“The current political debate seems entirely focused on the financial details of the budget. Government policy fails to acknowledge that everyone benefits from a healthy arts sector.

“Our children in particular, need to be exposed to the arts, so that they can learn to be curious, creative, free thinking and tolerant.

“Currently more than 70 per cent of school children have no access to music education. It is no longer in the curriculum.

“The discontent you are hearing from the arts sector isn’t about artists saying they don’t have enough. It is about artists recognising that there is now a real threat to the quality of community life.”

Our famous...

CELSIUS Early starters: Tyabb Primary School’s Merran Wyatt, Mt Eliza North’s Mark Watters, ADFAS chairman Janet Glaspole, Mornington Park’s Bev Dadds, ADFAS vice-chairman Sue McCarthy, Tyabb’s Mikaela Earl, and Dromana Secondary’s Carole Patullo at the awards presentation.

Awards for the young at art FOUR Mornington Peninsula schools have been given Young Arts awards by the Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society.

Mornington Park, Tyabb and Mt Eliza North primaries and Dromana Secondary College will each receive $850 for their music or drama programs.

Chairman Janet Glaspole said the annual program gave ADFAS members a chance to support the development of the arts in the community.

She said school representatives attended the society’s monthly lecture, the latest on Elizabeth Taylor’s jewels, and socialised with members

after the presentation. “As we near the mid-year point there are still plenty of interesting lectures scheduled,” Ms Glaspole said.

Illustrated lectures are held at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington, 5.30pm Fridays. The hour-long lectures are followed by light refreshments and an opportunity to meet the lecturer and fellow members.

Half yearly membership are $75, with a $25 joining fee, to attend the remaining events.

Details: Pam Matters, 9708 8953.

Storage units raided A PARTIALLY-restored 1976 VW Beetle was among items stolen from 10 storage units in Barkly St, Mornington, last week.

The car, valued at $15,000, was later recovered undamaged behind a Mornington take away.

Detective Senior Constable Ben Watson, of Somerville CIU, said thieves either cut padlocks or forced open doors to the units overnight Sunday 19 June.

Detective Watson said another a Porsche 911 was left behind in the raids in which a video camera, TV, electric bicycle and tools were taken.

Adjoining unit holder Ryan Henderson said the thieves broke into his unit but unsuccessfully tried to open five others. He said they went through personal documents and tax records.

“The facility has CCTV cameras but they are either dummy cameras or not switched on and they were smashed off by the thieves,” he said.

“I don’t think there is any surveillance.”

He said gates to the storage units could be left open and “people can just walk in”.

“They may have been open all weekend,” he said. “I am very annoyed about it.”

Peter Skewes, of estate agent Jacobs and Lowe, which manages the units, said some CCTV cameras may have been damaged by the thieves. Others, on an adjoining alleyway, had captured footage of the car being removed.

Drugs, weapon charges A MORNINGTON man has been charged with drugs and weapons offences. Sergeant Steve Duffee, of Mornington police, said police swooped on a house in Oakland St and found the man, 21, with a quantity of ice, $10,000 in cash and a sawn-off shotgun. He has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Ms Mason said recommended lookout sites for whales included Point Nepean, Mills Beach, Mornington, and the Nobbies and Cape Woolamai on Phillip Island.

“On the odd occasion, the Sorrento to Queenscliff ferry can become an impromptu whale watching vessel. For example, a southern right whale was seen off Portsea last Sunday evening from the ferry,” she said.

Last year, the Two Bays Whale Project, which records sightings from the Barwon Coast to Inverloch, received 87 validated sightings, including 80 humpbacks, four southern rights and three killer whales.

Whale sightings can be reported on the Dolphin Research Institute webpage www.dolphinresearch.org.au or be leaving a message on the Two Bays Whale Project Facebook page.

Boats must not approach to within less than 200 meters of a whale.

WHALE sightings are being reported in Western Port and Port Phillip bays in what researchers say has become an annual event coinciding with the Queen’s Birthday long weekend.

The Dolphin Research Institute and the Two Bays Whale Project have been receiving reports of humpback and southern right whales in both bays.

“Humpback whales regularly visit Port Phillip and Western Port from June through to mid-August and again from late September to November,” DRI research officer Sue Mason said.

“The first reported sighting of a humpback whale usually comes into the institute around the Queen’s Birthday weekend, prompting DRI’s research staff to call the weekend Whale Weekend.

These whales are on a detour as they migrate north along the east Australian coast. “ Ms Mason said humpbacks were easily identified by their dorsal fin and pectoral fins that are about one third of their body length.

“In contrast, southern right whales have smaller, square pectoral fins, lack a dorsal fin

NEWS DESK Noises alert neighbour A FRANKSTON North resident hearing noises outside about midnight saw three or four youths standing at the backdoor of a neighbour’s house in Lacenet Av, Sunday 19 June.

The man called police who found the flywire cut out of a door and lying on the ground. The Dog Squad arrived and chased the youths over back fences of surrounding properties.

Three youths aged 14, 16 and 13 were found hiding in a house and taken back to Frankston police station. Reports then came in of three other houses broken into in Caley St, Honeysuckle St, and Excelsior Drive.

The youths were charged with aggravated burglaries and theft. A fourth youth, 17, was arrested later and also charged with aggravated burglary.

Detective Senior Constable Stephanie Groom, of Frankston CIU, said the 13-year-old was released on bail at Melbourne Children’s Court, Thursday, and his case relisted at Frankston Children’s Court, 12 July.

The 17-year-old’s bail application was heard, Friday, at Melbourne Children’s Court, but it was relisted to Frankston Children’s Court at a later date, and the 14-year-old was remanded in custody to appear at Frankston Children’s Court, 28 June.

Detective Groom said inquiries were ongoing into the 16-year-old’s involvement.

DRIVERS should take extra care when using Frankston-Flinders Rd, between Hawkins Rd and Scott Gr, Somerville, because of the temporary 60kph speed limit.

VicRoads resealed a two kilometre section of the road in April, however, after recent heavy rains, the new seal has deteriorated.

South East Director of Operations Michael Barker said a safer speed limit was necessary.

“We have reduced the limit from 80kph to 60kph because loose stones on the road can flick up onto windscreens and cause damage,” he said.

“Drivers should take extra care travelling on this section and keep a safe distance between themselves and other vehicles.

“We are monitoring the road and sweeping loose stones as necessary.”

Repairs will be completed after winter. “These types of works need to occur in warm and dry conditions,” Mr Barker said.

“In the meantime, we will have signs warning

people of loose stones and the lower speed limit.

“We thank the community for their patience and cooperation with these changed road conditions.”

Arrests after struggle DETECTIVES from Frankston CIU’s Shadow Taskforce arrested a man and a woman at a Mornington hotel, 4.30pm, Monday 20 June, after a “bit of a struggle”.

The Frankston North man, 25, was later charged at Frankston police station with attempted armed robbery, false imprisonment, possessing a firearm, threats to kill, theft of a car, theft from a car, and fraud.

The Frankston woman, 43, who was out on bail, was questioned over drug matters.

Detective Senior Constable Kerryn Merrett said the man had been remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court for a filing hearing tomorrow (Tuesday) and the woman had been released.

“COMMUNITY-DRIVEN” transport options and more affordable housing are two of the goals in a 20-year vision to address the needs of young people on the Mornington Peninsula.

The George Hicks Foundation's inaugural Mornington Peninsula Philanthropic Summit last month was attended by community service providers, local government, businesses and philanthropic organisations, and was facilitated pro-bono by Right Lane Consulting.

The summit formulated a long-term vision for the peninsula that would see more emergency accommodation for families, a youth hub, mental health support for young people, and greater coordination between young people and community service providers.

The summit also looked at how place-based funding could address community needs, and presented findings from the Regional Statistical Profile - Mornington Peninsula, 2011 to

2015 report commissioned from the National Institute of Economic and Industry Research (NIEIR).

Participants looked at how the needs of young people living on the peninsula might be addressed through coordination of community organisations, philanthropic funders, business and local government.

The three most critical regional issues were lack of public transport, lack of affordable housing and access to quality pre-school services.

Solutions in response included greater coordination of services and long-term, coordinated funding, greater access to early childhood services, community hubs, holistic case management for households under stress, a youth hub and emergency accommodation, and “tech-enabled” and community-driven transport systems outside public transport.

Col Elliott performs at the Grand For four decades Aussie comedian Col Elliott has been making crowds across the country laugh and now brings his special brand of humor to the Mornington Peninsula with Col’s Final (Fair Dinkum) Farewell Tour.

As part of a generation of Australian standup comedians, along with Rodney Rude and Kevin “Bloody” Wilson, Elliott portrays the larrikin image with plenty of fart gags and casual politically incorrect jokes with characters like the failed kamikaze pilot, a Pakistani Elvis impersonator, and an Italian ambassador named Guisseppe Lasagne.

The 67 year old funny man is performing at The Grand in Mornington on July 7 and says audiences should get ready for an adults only night of standup comedy, crazy characters, music and stories. With four generations of fans, thirteen gold and platinum albums and countless awards to his credit, Elliott is still packing them out with a sense of humor that is timeless.

“Nothing and nobody is sacred at my show and it’s certainly not politically correct,” says Elliott, whose comedy started back in the early 1970s when he was in the navy and made extra dollars in the bars of Singapore and Hong Kong doing standup routines.

“I still write continually after all these years and have so much material with people like Pauline Hanson and Clive Palmer I just have to.”

Starting his career in comedy was a natural progression for Elliott who got out of the navy at 23 and won Kevin Dennis New Faces which immediately gave him loads of publicity.

“I had no money and needed new tyres for my car so decided to enter the show,” said Elliott, who joined the ranks of stars like John Farnham and Paul Hogan who also gained notoriety through the tv talent show. “I remember I did a gay skit which was very funny but I’m not sure would go down too well these days.”

When Elliott first started out there wasn’t a lot of comedians and his first TV show was on Sky Channel.

“It was played in all the pubs and really took off in the early 80’s, starting out with ‘Hey you

bloody mug’. Comedians weren’t very prolific and before long there came Kevin ‘Bloody Wilson’,” he said.

With Col Elliott, you get Australian comedy at its best with a blend of the classics and new material.

“It’s a varied show with character comedy like Slugger Milligan, the ultimate misogynist, and my roadie, Chooka Dennis, characters that have their own following. There’s a bit of standup, some music and heaps of storytelling. It’s typically Australian.”

Elliott admits he’s gotten away with murder in this age of political correctness, and still does.

“It’s a different game now from 40 years ago.

There are some boundaries you don’t push but still take the mickey out of people,” he said.

“I got a real buzz when I won a gold DVD and was presented with Carl Baron who said to me ‘you’re the reason I got into comedy. We used to listen to you all day when I was working and I decided that’s what I wanted to do.’ I thought that was a lovely thing for him to say,” said Elliott who has consistently and successfully maintained a comedy career for decades, and is looking forward to performing in Mornington next month.

“I used to live in Rosebud many years ago and still have sisters in Langwarrin so I’ve spent a bit of time on the peninsula. But I’ve never performed at The Grand so it should be a lot of fun. Expect to be surprised and a night of laughter but don’t come if you’re thin-skinned,” says Elliott with a laugh.

Col’s Final (Fair Dinkum) Farewell Tour is on Thursday 7 July at The Grand Hotel Mornington.

A MORNINGTON family has created a modern, industrial-style art gallery and studio space aimed at supporting creative talent.

Black Spot Gallery & Studios in Milgate Drive, has been opened by Allan and Lynne Stynes and their sons Cameron and Travis, after two years’ planning and research into the local art scene.

“Our youngest son Cam has always had a great flair and interest in many aspects of art,” Mrs Stynes said. “His works have been on exhibition at many different shows and he has always loved the idea of having a studio or gallery to display his work.

“Allan has always wanted a warehouse to do up. About three years ago, as a family, we decided go forward with the concept of having a gallery with studios to lease out to other budding artists.

“We had a factory built and then fitted it out

ourselves. Allan designed and built the interior with help from Travis and Cameron along the way.

“Allan has worked tirelessly over the past two years, working in the afternoons after he finishes work and on the weekends to enable this project to become our future business. His workmanship is to be admired and we couldn't be prouder of his efforts.

“The comments from friends, family and fellow artists, have been very positive.”

The gallery held its first exhibition featuring the works of seven artists.

“This is all a new concept for us and we are very happy to be opening our doors,” Mrs Stynes said. “We are looking for studio holders and offer a family friendly atmosphere.”

Gallery hours are 1-5pm.

■ GRANITE TRANSFORMATIONS

Design expert Shaynna Blaze’s top tips to consider when renovating WHEN renovating a home, we often look to the experts to gather tips and inspiration to ensure the best possible results. Australian interior design expert, Shaynna Blaze identifies five key elements to consider with a kitchen or bathroom remodel on any budget.

The face of hit shows, The Block and Selling Houses Australia, is a long term fan of Granite Transformations, and recently enlisted the leading makeover specialists to renovate the kitchen, kitchenette and bathroom in her new studio in Hawthorn, Victoria.

“Granite Transformations enabled renovators like me, to revamp my kitchen and bathroom by working with the existing surfaces and cabinets, for a proportion of the cost of a complete demolition and rebuild.

It’s been fantastic working with the team at Granite Transformations and incorporating their quality products and surfaces in this design space and I am excited to reveal the results,” Shaynna says. Whether you are working with a modest budget or investing significantly, Shaynna has the following fundamental tips to consider when renovating: Small budget, HUGE inspiration!

Collect everything and anything that inspires you, and create your own lookbook or mood board to capture it all. “In the kitchen I was inspired by the heritage of the 1880 building while still making if feel and work as a kitchen of

the 21st century. Whereas the bathroom was complete fantasy, taking reference of an era of the pomp and ceremony of times of Versailles,” says Shaynna.

Usage – Who is using the space and how? It’s important to think about who is going to be in the area and how the area is going to be used on a daily basis.

“Keeping these things in mind helps to create your layout, the appliances and fittings you need, right down to the colour palette you will select.”

Define your must haves.

Both the bathroom and kitchen are frequently used spaces and therefore it’s critical the fittings are both

way to y r a n io t lu o v e r A that’s n e h c it k r u o y e renovat …3 as easy as 1 …2

functional and practical but also visually appealing. Ensure you have accounted for those items you can’t live without and build from there. The mood was first priority in the studio for Shaynna; “This is an area that is not just for me so I wanted whoever walks in the room to be transported somewhere.

The full-scale Trend Surface mosaic on the end wall was the starting point where everything was built from and then I was able to work out the lighting, fittings and flooring from there.”

Make the most of the spaces footprint. Limited space often restricts the layout of a kitchen or bathroom.

Ensure every space is well thought out and planned. “With only one wall for tall items in the kitchen my main priority was to make sure I would be able to fit as much bench, drawer and cupboard space as possible.”

Add colour, texture and patterns.

Colour, texture and patterns are stylistic building blocks of any decorating palette. These key elements help to create the style, mood and the feel of each room. “The kitchen has subtle features with panel details in the island bench and glass overhead cabinets with a modern twist on the herringbone pattern in the mirror splashback tiles.

The bathroom takes it to a more extreme level of a period style with detail in every form from tiles and light fittings to the furniture which was a signature of the Victorian era, even though all the details aren’t of a Victorian nature.”

Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au MORNINGTON sailing enthusiast Cheryl Schumaker is a self-confessed “late starter” to the sport but that hasn't slowed her rise to the top, becoming the first female commodore in 70 years.

However that doesn't mean big changes at the club. Ms Schumaker has a vision for the club that's in keeping with its strong focus on community involvement, sports promotion and inclusion.

“At one time the general perception was that sailing clubs were for the rich people down the street, but that is changing and our club is an example of that - welcoming and inclusive,” she said.

“I started sailing in 1998-99, so not nearly as long as some other sailors in the area, but I love it and I have a vision for the club that includes building membership and working towards our goals,” she said.

One of those goals for the past few years has been working towards getting a marina for Mornington. That has been put on the back burner after years of campaigning proved fruitless and exhausted the club financially.

“Yes, it is disappointing not to have a marina, as we are losing boats regularly to storms, so a marina on a smaller scale to Martha Cove would be good.”

Ms Schumaker said the yacht club was a significant community facility that provided enjoyment and training for hundreds of people in a supportive, inclusive environment.

Immediate past commodore at the club, Graeme Alexander, said Ms Schumaker was a

Cheryl Schumaker dedicated keel boat sailor, club member and “the backbone” of the club.

He said her appointment to commodore showed the club was moving with the times, in keeping with Yachting Victoria's strong push to see more women in sailing.

“Our club has about 120 women members already, so it's the other clubs that have to play catch-up with us,” he said.

It's been a momentous year for the 750-member club, which celebrated it's 70th birthday in February and has just secured a new 21-year lease at its harbour-side, site at Schnapper Point.

Mr Alexander said club members were looking forward to further cementing the club's place in the community with a new commodore at the helm.

Quality Care

Bay beaches face diminishing returns north winds and high seas, combined with changes brought on by dredging, was causing inevitable changes to the beaches.

Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au AN eroding coastline has experts and residents calling for urgent action to protect the Mornington Peninsula’s beaches and avert a costly drainage disaster.

While coastal erosion has long been a problem on the peninsula and millions of dollars being spent on mitigation works including sea walls and groynes, recent storm damage has heightened concern that not enough is being done.

Port Phillip Baykeeper Neil Blake has compelling data that suggests the increases in tide heights are substantially greater than predicted by a consultants' reports prepared for the Port of Melbourne Corporation before the 2008-2009 channel dredging work.

He has created a simple method of recording and mapping beach profiles and water levels, and has evidence of significant erosion at Point Nepean over the past five years.

While it is recognised that beaches constantly undergo seasonal sand variations, Mr Blake says the “prevailing” view that beach sand lost along the peninsula will eventually return has resulted in the real threat being ignored.

He warns that mitigation works such as sea walls and groynes will be needed along the entire peninsula coastline, as street drainage struggles to keep up with increasing water Emergencies and Acute inundation.

NEWS DESK In the classroom: Principal David Newport and students watch on as others undertake activities for guests. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Principal reason to celebrate MORNINGTON Special Developmental School parents and teachers celebrated the appointment of principal David Newport with an open morning last week.

They toured classrooms, enjoyed a sausage sizzle and light refreshments, and watched science and physical education displays and a music performance by students.

Of special interest was the new relaxation or “chill out” zone.

The school, in Robertson Drive, aims to inspire and empower students so that they may achieve “independence through learning”, Mr Newport said.

Six way contest with only one winner Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au THERE are six candidates lining up for the seat of Flinders in Saturday’s federal election, but it would be wrong to say they all have a chance of winning.

The seat has been held by Liberal Greg Hunt since 2001. He was reelected in 2012 with an 11.8 per cent majority.

Trying to unseat him are Carolyn Gleixner (Labor), Willisa Hogarth (Greens), Ben Wild (Animal Justice Party), Yvonne Gentle (Rise Up Australia Party) and independent Shane Lewis.

The campaigns of the six contenders vary significantly - from Mr Hunt’s professionally produced road signs and coloured brochures to a hand painted black and white board planted at a freeway off-ramp by Shane Lewis.

This campaign is Ms Gleixner’s second, having in 2014 unsuccessfully contested the state seat of Nepean, held by Martin Dixon. Although having the backing of the ALP, her mother Esther is her main helper along with a team of volunteers.

It’s a similar situation on the volunteer support front for the Greens’ Ms Hogarth, whose party is concentrating on winnable seats and the Senate.

The party’s fourth Senate candidate is Elise Klein, who lives on the peninsula.

Mr Wild’s Animal Justice Party, also short of cash, has probably benefitted from the latest revelations of cruelty to cattle and sheep shipped out in Australia’s live animal export trade. Both Labor and Coalition governments have done little to ensure these animals are treated humanely after leaving Australia.

Mr Lewis describes himself as “a public advocate … helping people and their families who have been raped tortured and killed under Victorian mental health treatment”.

“My main field of study over the last 40 years has been the generational social psychological study of

consumer addictive behaviour using modern Pavlovian processing post WW2 to present day,” Mr Lewis told The Times.“Trying my best to be able to set up programs to counter the conditioning of new generations with bad multi-national corporate designed addictions.

“Trying my best to help create an environment for good community and family conditions that can consider the natural environment as an important asset.”

Yvonne Gentle of the Rise Up Australia Party has not provided any information to The News.

Liberal candidate Mr Hunt, a high profile cabinet minister in the Turnbull government, has the advantage of being the incumbent with staff on the government payroll pumping out news releases and monitoring media outlets to counter any criticisms. He has also enjoyed a weekly spot as a commentator on ABC radio, although in that particular role he is pitted against a Labor opponent.

As a senior Liberal Mr Hunt is deployed to support other candidates, which can be good, or bad.

The Western Australian Liberal Sherry Sufi on 21 May was forced to quit over comments he made in 2013 about same-sex marriage and Indigenous constitutional recognition. Ten days before Mr Sufi’s emergency exit, Mr Hunt had been in WA and described him as “a great local candidate” and “a magnificent candidate”.

Mr Hunt was also in Adelaide supporting Jamie Briggs, who was appointed Cities Minister which comes within Mr Hunt’s Environment portfolio. Mr Briggs resigned his position last December shortly after an incident with a female public servant in a Hong Kong bar. The junior cities ministry was first offered to former Small Business Minister Bruce Billson, who declined and eventually announced his departure from parliament after 20 years as the MP for Dunkley.

Mr Billson and Mr Hunt have adjoining electorates and for years have maintained a professional working relationship.

Vote catchers: Liberal Greg Hunt, left, with John Goodman, has promised money to make the Forest Drive-Nepean Highway intersection safer; Above, Labor’s Carolyn Gleixner, centre, wants all three levels of government to help revitalise Rosebud. She is pictured with Adrian Locke, Elaine Newbould, state MP Daniel Mulino and Mornington Peninsula mayor, Graham Pittock.

A much easier task for Mr Hunt has been sharing a platform to make joint election promises with Chris Crewther, the Liberal candidate seeking to win Dunkley.

Mr Hunt’s signs and brochures all carry the “Working together, getting results” message, coincidentally the same words used by many organisations from a leadership training consultancy in Birmingham, UK, to the

Lake Michigan Shorelands Alliance in the US. Mr Hunt can react angrily to unpalatable questions and has been known to stress to journalists (this writer included) that he has a good relationship with members of the Canberra press gallery.

In February Mr Hunt was named best minister in the world at the World Government Summit in oil rich

Dubai, but this impressive title did little to stem the number of protests regularly held outside his Hastings office, mainly concerning either coal mining, the Great Barrier Reef or the government’s treatment of refugees and asylum seekers.

There have been protesters dressed as angels on his roof, grandmothers frisked by federal police before being admitted in to see Mr Hunt and a bag of coal delivered to his office.

In the past week Mr Hunt’s election promises have included $44,000 to improve safety on Tyabb-Tooradin Rd between Bungower and Bembridge roads; $200,000 for the first stage of an “upgrade” at the intersection of Nepean Highway and Forest Drive, Mt Martha, scene of a fatal accident in 2014; $200,000 for CCTV cameras at Rye shopping centre; and $50,000 for barriers to stop monkey bikes being used at Wallaroo Reserve, Hastings.

Show of unity: Mornington Fire Brigade crews ready to “do what we are here for”.

‘Business as usual’ at fire station Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au RESIDENTS should have full confidence in the Mornington Brigade’s fire-fighting capabilities, its officer-in-charge says.

The statement comes after weeks of controversy stemming from the fire fighters’ industrial dispute, the sacking of the CFA board and the resignation of its CEO. Mornington fire station chief Troy Thornton is concerned by fallout from the much-publicised

and now politicised row, which had prompted some older residents to tell him personally that they feared their homes would not properly be defended in the strained circumstances.

Last week he said residents “would have had to have been living on another planet to have not noticed media attention around the CFA career firefighters’ enterprise bargaining agreement”.

“There is potential for members of the public to be concerned that this will adversely impact the standard of fire and emergency services within our local community,” Mr Thornton said.

But he said there was no need for alarm.

“The career staff and volunteer members of the Mornington Fire Brigade will continue their unified stance to reassure the public that they work together to deliver the highest standard of fire and emergency services possible.”

Mr Thornton said it was important people know they were well protected. “This is business as usual for our brigade and we are still responding to all emergencies within Mornington and surrounds – as that’s what we’re here for.”

He said he was committed to seeing the career staff and volunteers at Mornington Fire Brigade “continue to set a positive example”.

“The career staff and volunteers only care about one thing, and that is maintaining the highest standard of fire and emergency service delivery to our community,” Mr Thornton said.

Volunteer 1st Lieutenant Russell Pritchard said the Mornington brigade would “respond with three career firefighters within 90 seconds, with our volunteer members’ right behind them, to fight fires in Mornington and surrounding communities”.

“We are getting the job done together, as one CFA,” he said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Diptheria claims 11 year old child Compiled by Melissa Walsh A PAINFULLY sudden death occurred on Monday morning to a little girl, eleven years of age, the daughter of Mr and Mrs Olding, of Carnegie.

It appears that, in company with her younger sister, she was spending a holiday at Flinders and on Saturday morning last complained of a sore throat and not feeling well. She gradually got worse and on Monday morning a motor was procured and a start was made for home.

On arriving at Bittern it was discovered that the child was dead..

The remains were then brought on to Frankston, and on Tuesday morning Dr Maxwell held a postmortem examination, and discovered that the cause of death was diphtheria.

The remains were interred in the Frankston cemetery on Wednesday afternoon. Much sympathy was expressed for the bereaved parents. *** A MEETING of the Committee of the “ Frankston Mechanics’ Allies Fair” will be held in the hall on Tuesday next, at 3 o’clock, when a full attendance is requested. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, when they will have a good yarding of general stock to offer to intending buyers. *** THE hon. sec. of the Frankston Branch of the Red Cross Society makes an appeal in our advertising

columns for donations of old linen for the French Red Cross, and notifies that the same will be received at the Mechanics’ Hall, from 10 a.m. on the 6th July. *** A FOOTBALL match will be played this afternoon on the Frankston oval between a Naval Base team and the locals. The Langwarrin Brass Band will play during the afternoon. A collection will be taken up in aid of the Red Cross funds. *** DEPOSITORS in the State Savings Bank are reminded by advertisement that the Inspector (Mr J. Corbet), will be in attendance at the Bank on Wednesday, 5th July, for the annual inspection of pass-books. It is particularly desired that depositors should produce their pass books at this time. *** AT the Somerville meeting on Monday night it was decided that the League forward £8 3s. to the French Red Cross to help assist it in its valuable work. This energetic branch has forwarded now to the various funds over £20 in cash, besides the vast number of articles provided by the ladies and sent on to the Lady Mayoress’s League. *** AFTER 37 years’ service in the Railway Department, Mr Mark Williams retired on the 20th of this month, and intends now to take a well earned rest. Mr Williams was well known on this line having been engine driver between Melbourne and

Frankston since 1903 and earned the respect and trust of his employers and the travelling public. *** THE young student, Sidney J. Doewra, of “Heath Vale” Somerville, has been very successful in his examinations and has gained his certificate for electrical engineering, from “Scotts College” Melbourne, *** GENERAL regret was expressed in Frankston when it was known that Guard Phil O’Grady had been transferred from this station to Mornington. Mr O’Grady has been resident here for the last three and a half years, and during that time he has become a universal favorite, both with his fellow employees and the general public, by his unvarying courtesy and kindness of manner. Guard Walsh, from Maryborough, has been appointed to the vacant position. *** THE following letter of thanks was received by Miss Chrisp, Hon. Sec. Mount Eliza Red Cross Society from Philadelphia N. Robertson, secretary, Australian Branch, British Red Cross Society.

At the last meeting of our Central Depot Committee, a report was submitted to them of a series of motor outings provided for the returned N.S.W. and Queensland soldiers from the “Themistocles” while she was in port here. From this, and also from one of the members of the Committee, it was learned that the Frankston and Mt Eliza Red Cross branches had

extended very generous hospitality to the men on the occasion of their visit to this district.

The Committee ask me to convey to you and to the ladies of your district who took part in entertaining the large party of men, their cordial thanks. The men very much appreciated your kindness and thoroughly enjoyed their visit to Frankston. *** A MEETING of the “Wattles” Club Committee was held on Friday evening to make arrangements for entertaining returned wounded soldiers on July 8th, and to discuss other Club matters. Being the anniversary of the Club in July it was decided to celebrate the occasion by holding a plain and fancy dress ball on the 12th of that month.

It was also decided to donate £3 3s to the Frankston District Memorial Fund, for which a letter of thanks has been received from Mr C. P. Watson, hon. secretary of the Fund. *** LETTERS from the Front. The following letter has been received by the mother of the late Corporal H. J. Schmidt, a former resident of the Tyabb district, who was killed while in action at Gallipoli:— Gallipoli, August 16th, 1915. Mrs W.G. Fish, 70 Woodstock, St, Canning Town, London.

Dear Mrs Fish, —You will have heard by this of the sad fate of your son, 1047, Corporal Henry John Schmidt, who was killed in action on August 7th. After reaching a position

by a night advance the battalion took up the point and dug in on the morning of that date. The enemy who were holding a ridge opposite were firing on our men, and Corpl. Schmidt was unfortunately hit by a bullet which passed through his body.

He was very cheery and we thought he might pull through, but shortly afterwards he became unconscious, and death ensued very speedily. He was such a bright cheery fellow, and a general favorite and we all miss him very much.

To you and to his friends we tender our sincerest sympathy for the sorrow which has befallen you. He died a true soldier’s death and was buried with an officer and another comrade near the place where he fell.

In his pocket book or purse I found the sum of 7s 6d and as we have a regimental fund with an account in London. I send you a cheque for this amount, with the request that you will send me a receipt.

We are all proud of the part our Australian forces have taken in this campaign, and while we are hoping that it will soon be over, we look for an ending which will be of the greatest help to the Empire for her strength. With sincere sympathy, yours very truly, ANDREW GARRISON, Captain, Chaplain, 14th Battalion, A.I.F. Gallipoli. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 1 July, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A brief history of my automotive failures

By Stuart McCullough IT made no sense at all. To the untrained eye (as my eye most certainly was), it looked like an automatic. But within seconds of easing the rental car into traffic, it became apparent there were gears and that this car was resolutely stuck in first. It was, I feared, going to be a very long week. Until that moment, I’d often thought people who claimed they were struggling to get out of first gear were simply deploying a colourful turn of phrase and not speaking from experience. As the engine whined like a mechanical mosquito, I contemplated whether to return to the rental office or spend the entire week going twenty-five kilometers an hour.

I’ve ever been good with cars. (Or horses, chainsaws or baking for that matter.) There are some people who really love cars. They can talk for hours about models, types of engines and fuel. That never happened in our house. I suspect subjects of that nature are seldom broached in any home where the major form of transportation is a mini van. Starting with an orange Kombi, we progressed to a Nissan E-20 before upgrading to a Tarago.

My entire childhood was spent feeling as though I might well be on the way to the airport.

Still stuck in first gear, both literally and metaphorically; I pulled, turned and depressed every knob, button or dial I could find. The windscreen wipers waved at oncoming traffic as I frantically tried to find anything resembling a gear stick. There was more bad news when the radio came to life and I discovered that all the pre-pro-

PAGE 38

Frankston Times

grammed stations were commercial.

As the speakers referred to the ‘greatest hits of yesterday and today’ I felt decidedly queasy.

My own first car was nothing to shout about. In fact, it was quite the opposite; something that should be concealed from others at all costs.

A lime green Daihatsu Charade is nobody’s dream car. Or, if it is, it’s the kind of dream you have during an particularly poor night’s sleep in which you awaken at two o’clock in the morning, a veneer of sweat across your back. In retrospect, I panicked.

For some reason, I thought it necessary to select a vehicle from the first car yard we went to, never considering that I could take more time and look at more cars if that’s what it took.

27 June 2016

The Charade had five gears, all of which were necessary if you were to exceed sixty clicks an hour. It also had FM radio and a tape deck. From time to time, my car would pronounce judgment on whatever it was I was listening to and destroy the cassette, spewing reams of tape onto the floor.

It also had a demister that, given the state of the windscreen, worked only in summer. Trips in the winter months required that I grab the steering wheel with one hand and a cloth with the other, to wipe the glass clear. It’s a miracle that I ever got anywhere in one piece.

Having completed the most difficult u-turn of my adult life, I was now heading back to the rental office at top speed. Once there I would burst in and

claim the vehicle was defective or demand that they show how to change gears. Then, most probably by accident, I hit something and a large fluorescent number ‘two’ appeared. I had, it seemed, solved the mystery of how to change gears in an automatic. I was later to learn that this was something of a recent innovation that gave automatic drivers the sense that they were still changing gears. That’s progress.

When I lived in Brisbane, I inherited a car from a work colleague. In fact, the vehicle was transported from interstate for my exclusive use and it was clear that the purple Lantra had had something of a hard life. The previous occupant had a passion for nicotine that meant the entire thing smelled like an ashtray on wheels. The stench was

so bad that, at one point, I wondered whether Government regulations might require me to paint the thing olive green to comply with plain packaging laws. Worse was come. Having ceased driving some time earlier, my parking skills were a little rusty, meaning that I managed to crash it into a concrete pole whilst parking.

Having solved the great mystery of how to change gears, there was now the question of the lights. This being the midst of winter and there being only about half an hour of light a day, knowing how to turn the lights on and off was bound to come in handy. Using the scientifically proven technique of push, pull and turn, something resembling illumination softly emanated from the front of the car. I contemplated driving with a torch for safety reasons.

Then there was the Astra. We were on holidays when it went to that big car-yard in the sky. My wife was adamant that the engine sounded on the verge of catastrophic collapse. I, in my inimitable style, dismissed these concerns right up until the moment that smoke started pouring out from underneath the bonnet. I later sold it to a wrecking yard for a handful of magic beans.

After three days of driving the rental, someone pointed out that I only had the parking lights on. After more prodding, the entire dashboard and the road in front of me lit up. This made a lot more sense. Now with the lights on and the radio disabled, I can get about in comfort. I’d honk when I pass, if I knew how to work the horn. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Pythons move on up to second PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt PINES moved to outright second on the Peninsula Division ladder with a strong performance against Mt Eliza at Wooralla Drive on Saturday.

Despite the Redlegs opening up a 25-point break on the Pythons in the second quarter, the visitors were able to boot nine goals to four in the second hour to win 12.13 (85) to 10.9 (69).

It was a great performance from the Pythons, who tweaked some things during the major break that ultimately turned the game around.

James Freeman got hold of Pines in the opening half but coach Patty Swayne shifted ruckman Beau Hendry on to him in the second half.

Hendry was able to nullify Freeman while Tom Bongetti went into the ruck and started to dominate in that area of the ground.

Luke Potts also dominated and was clearly the best player on the ground, while Jack Fisher held Justin Van

Unen to just three goals. Fisher has conceded just 15 goals to key forwards this season.

Swayne said it was a “very good” win.

“We lost Luke Houldcroft early in the match with a shoulder and were down a rotation,” Swayne said.

“We also lost Shane Waterstone for half the match too. He got a wayward boot in the face which punctured two holes above his top lip and below his bottom lip. He went off and got stitched up and then he went straight back onto the ground when he arrived back in the third quarter. He was sensational holding onto the likes of Rohan Heasley and Ben Landry.

“Even when they were up by four goals, I felt we were still in the game.

“We had to make a contest of it.

They were hurting us on the outside and we need to get the ball in tight.

From here, the likes of Paul Scanlon, Chris Guganovic and Potts went to work.

“We just had to wear them down

and I think the second half scoreboard shows that we did exactly that.

“Potts was sensational. He didn’t have a brilliant pre-season and he carried an injury in the first month or so of the season. He’s up and going now and is in really good form,” Swayne said.

Chelsea’s competitive start to the season is clearly a thing of the past after they were smashed by Mornington, 21.11 (137) to 8.7 (55).

The Dogs booted nine goals to one in the first quarter and led by 10 goals at half time.

Jackson Calder dominated with six and Michael Williams finished with five. Warwick Miller was sublime.

Langwarrin booted four unanswered goals in the last quarter to run over the top of Karingal by just three points.

Nick Tuddenham played arguably his best game for the Kangas with three goals in a best on ground performance. Gerard Brown back into the team after injury was also a wel-

come addition. Sean Herdman and Kieran Albanese are critical forwards for the Kangas and neither played on the weekend, making the win even more impressive.

Michael Burke and Tommy Wilkinson were the best of the Bulls, while teenager Brad Occipinti booted four majors.

In the final game, Frankston YCW easily accounted for Seaford 14.9 (93) to 3.15 (33).

Anthony Bruhn booted five while Tom Capp was outstanding in his sixth game.

Brad Doyle and Dean Kemble were the best of the Tigers.

Jake Lovett (two games), Josh Butland (two games), Luke Paynter (two games), Jason Cheverly (two games), Jake Di Pasqale (four games) and Daniel Hughes (three games) were just a sprinkling of the junior talent that ran around with the Stonecats on Saturday.

Sharks back in hunt, Eagles still down on form NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SORRENTO got back on the winner’s list on Saturday, knocking over the in-form Frankston Bombers in epic fashion.

The Sharks had lost their previous two games at home to Rye and Devon Meadows but with some returning players and a tweak in game style, the home side was able to take the Bombers down a peg.

The Sharks had nine scoring shots to two in the opening term and never looked in danger, winning 15.11 (101) to 7.15 (57).

With Scott Lockwood back in the team and joining Nick Corp in the forward 50 metre arc, the Sharks worked on moving the ball quickly into the attacking zone and isolate the Bombers’ defenders.

It worked a treat, Corp booted five and Lockwood four while Ryan Potter completely shut down Bombers’ new recruit Luke James.

Sorrento coach Nick Jewell said his side was ‘excellent’.

“We worked on a few things and the

boys were on from the first bounce,” Jewell said.

“You could sense the effort from our boys out on the field and Lockwood coming back into the team really straightened us up.

“We wanted to move the ball a lot quicker than we have been and give Lockwood and Corp an opportunity to get some good footy.

“The kids were sensational again also.

“Jack Gipp, who is a champion boxer, played his first game for us after four best-ons in the Under 19s and he looked at home at senior level.

“James Brigden was able to get the job done on Zac Longham too. James would have to be the best full back in the competition right now,” Jewell said.

Despite the dominant performance, the game went within three minutes of being called off.

Joel Boase, in his third senior game, and the best mate of Gipp, dislocated his ankle and broke his fibula.

An ambulance was called and Boase was taken from the field after 27 minutes. The game would have been called

off had it taken another three minutes.

Jewell said Boase had surgery on Sunday and will miss the rest of the season.

It was a good return of form for the Sharks, who had been looking vulnerable.

“Look, we are a very different side to the one that played last season. There’s nine new faces from the Preliminary Final team of last season,” Jewell said.

“The past is the past and we want this new group to create their own dynasty,” he said.

Somerville went down to Rosebud for the eighth consecutive time on Saturday and lost their place in the top five.

The Eagles are in terrible form and when a side is losing, rumours tend to start.

Eagles’ coach David Hirst was quick, as always, to get on the front foot and defend his club.

“There’s plenty going around at the moment but the truth of the matter is that we are in poor form and our good players aren’t getting hold of the footy,” Hirst said.

“We have 14 injuries, our depth isn’t

what it used to be, we’ve had some personal club losses and to be frank, we’re a bit fragile right now.

“It can be turned around though.

There’s no doubt that it’s 100 per cent between the ears with us. The talent is there. We just collectively need to start getting our hands on the footy.”

Hirst said the rumours regarding Scott Simpson heading to Western Australia were true.

“Simmo will be with us for the rest of the season though, so him wanting to leave before clearances close isn’t true.

“There’s also no other players who want out before clearances close. There were no punch ons at the club like rumours have suggested and there were no big meetings either.

“We just need to bounce back and I’m sure we will do that,” Hirst said.

Rosebud beat Somerville by seven goals, 14.13 (97) to 7.10 (52).

Ben Dwyer was sensational in the ruck and the difference between the sides, while benny Shultz played his best game for a number of years.

I see way too many people, including my own peers, checking their phones whilst driving and I cringe every time.

That is something that I really think needs to be stopped.”

Asked if they would return in 2015, both girls emphatically confirmed, Sarah stating “Of course!

It will be good to have another crack at that hill, it’s definitely a challenge that’s for sure! As for who will win this time, I have no idea, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!”
