FRANKSTON councillors have agreed to a revised code of conduct as part of an annual review of behavioural guidelines. Changes to the code include a voluntary lowering of the dollar value at which councillors must declare a gift and clarification about how councillors should conduct themselves online while making comments on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Councillors met to discuss and vote on the conduct code changes alongside separate amendments to council meeting procedures at a public council special meeting held on Wednesday 13 June. As part of the conduct code changes, councillors must now declare any accepted gift valued at more than $150, lower than the $500 mandated in the Local Government Act for all councillors across Victoria. In February last year, Cr Kris Bolam failed to gain support from fellow councillors to lower the gifts declaration threshold from $500 to $50. At the 13 June meeting, Cr Quinn McCormack said the $150 threshold brings council in line with most other public servants across the state. While there was unanimous agreement on the amended code of conduct, some councillors were unhappy at “last minute” changes proposed by Cr Brian Cunial to the governance local law guidelines about meeting procedures. At the special meeting, Cr Cunial said “minor” changes had been discussed at

• Retractable Roof Systems • Folding Arm Awnings • Aluminium Plantation Shutters • Aluminium Roller Shutters • Alfresco, Pergola & Patio Blinds • Sun Blinds & Outdoor Canopies • Internal Roller & Cellular Blinds • Drop Arm Awnings • Carbolite • Thermofilm Heaters • Glass Roof Blinds

councillor briefing sessions. The mayor Cr Colin Hampton, chairing the meeting, said councillors will have another opportunity to vote on local law changes about meetings after the policy is advertised for community feedback. “At the end of the day, councillors need to look to compromise on things and work together as a group and unfortunately sometimes this group doesn’t do that,” Cr Hampton said. The amended code of conduct also makes it clear that councillors who use social media must “endeavour to maintain an appropriate separation between their role and duties as a councillor and their life as a private citizen”. Councillors making statements on social media from accounts identifying them as “a councillor of the council” must not imply they are authorised to speak on behalf of council as a whole, and must not “post, make comment or endorse (for example “like”) material that is offensive, obscene, defamatory, damaging, deceptive, threatening, harassing, bullying, discriminatory, hateful, racist, sexist, that infringes copyright or privacy, that constitutes a contempt of court, that breaches a court suppression order or is otherwise unlawful”. Councillors must not “use or disclose confidential information obtained in their capacity as a councillor” online or “make any comment, post or endorse any material that might otherwise cause damage to the council’s reputation or bring it into disrepute”. Councillors will sign the amended code of conduct at a public ordinary meeting on Monday 2 July.

Swim teacher ‘best in state’ A FRANKSTON swim teacher has been named the state’s Swim Teacher of the Year. Tabitha Cauchy, a swim teacher at the Peninsula Aquatic and Recreation Centre (PARC), won the 2018 Swim Teacher of the Year award at the Aquatic and Recreation Victoria (ARV) awards. The Pines Forest Aquatic Centre in Frankston North also picked up an award, winning the Facility Management Award (Seasonal) category at the ARV awards. Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton praised council-owned subsidiary Peninsula Leisure for its success in growing attendance numbers at both the PARC and the Pines Forest Aquatic Centre. “Frankston is proud to be home to two of the only aquatic and recreation facilities in Victoria which return a profit. Most centres operate at a loss every year,” he said. “Attendance is up at the Pines Forest Aquatic Centre, with the pool experiencing a 56 percent growth over the last two seasons. “In September 2015, council appointed Peninsula Leisure as the managers of the Pines Forest Aquatic Centre. Since taking over, they have reduced entry prices and improved the quality of offerings at the centre. The results speak for themselves. “Visitor numbers overall have exceeded expectations. I congratulate Peninsula Leisure’s board, chaired by Roseanne Healy, and CEO Tim Gledhill, for doing an outstanding job running the programs and creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all abilities.” Since opening in September 2014, the PARC has been recognised at the ARV Awards for its high-quality swimming instructors on three occasions.

New page for parking A NEW automated parking system for Frankston Arts Centre and Frankston Library visitors will ease some of the squeeze on car parking in central Frankston. The mayor Cr Colin Hampton said the new system will increase the number of available spaces in the multi-storey undercover car park, accessible from Young Street. “The new technology will reduce the number of unused spaces by monitoring entry and exits, to free up some of the currently underutilised permanent parking spaces,” Cr Hampton said. “More proactive management of access will make more spaces available during peak event times.” Other improvements include new and clearer signage, more payment options including notes and credit card payment and a direct link to a 24 hour Care Assist support centre for any car park payment issues. Car park attendants will be on-site during the transition period at key busy times during the first two weeks of July to assist with customer service. There will also be extra spaces for bikes and motorbikes. Drivers will obtain a ticket as they enter the car park and on leaving the car park, pay the applicable parking fee at the autopay station before collecting their vehicle. “Library patrons will be able to access up to two hours complimentary parking anywhere within the car park simply by showing library staff their car park entry pass and receiving a validation bar code,” Cr Hampton said.

Caravan for food cravings and training EIGHTIES pop culture inspired Work for the Dole participants to convert a Millard Caravan into a food outlet for youngsters being trained in hospitality. Seaford’s Envision Employment Services handed the food caravan, dubbed “Frankie Goes to”, to Frankston Council last week at Frankston North Community Centre. The mayor Cr Colin Hampton said the mobile coffee and snack caravan will become a common sight at pop-up events and real life hospitality training sessions around Frankston. “We are thrilled to receive this multi-purpose caravan, which will be a vibrant mobile space that allows

hospitality students to gain experience working and interacting directly with the community,” Cr Hampton said. “We have already seen this caravan used to up-skill community members through refurbishment works, including design, extensive woodworking including joinery, framing and construction, mechanical work and painting. “We look forward to seeing the skills learnt within these courses, including barista skills, taken out to the streets, for the whole community to enjoy.” Direct Recruitment partnered with Envision Employment Services on the project.

“Many of the participants on the activity had little or no skills in these areas and have together produced a visually pleasing and versatile space to support council projects and initiatives,” Direct Recruitment manager Jessica Bartlett said.

MT ELIZA man Bill Robinson got a shock when he saw what he thought was a man’s body floating face down in the water off Sunnyside beach last week. The retired veterinary surgeon, 74, was on a regular training paddle with Mornington friend Tamsin Visick, Tuesday 26 June, when they came across the wetsuit-clad figure on the way back to Mt Eliza. After the initial shock, they realised the wetsuit did not contain a real person and attached a line to it. “It was hard work getting it back to shore and we appreciated the difficulty we would have had in a real-life scenario, particularly in rougher conditions,” said Mr Robinson, who then called police. “We brought it in because, if it had stayed out there, it could have sparked a few false alarms. To see it from a light aircraft it looks like the real thing.” Mornington Senior Sergeant Neil Aubert said the “body” turned out to be a training dummy missing from an emergency services rescue exercise. He said police had traced the owner and it was later collected. Calls by The News to Volunteer Marine Rescue, Mornington, and Coast Guard Safety Beach, failed to find out who had lost it. The episode won’t quell Mr Robinson’s passion for sea kayaking. “I paddle between Mt Eliza and Mornington on a regular basis throughout the year,” he said. Stephen Taylor

Coated in compassion: Volunteers rack up donated winter coats at Frankston North Community Centre. Picture: Yanni

Kindness a winter warmer WINTER is here and with it cold, biting weather that means sparing a thought for the homeless and disadvantaged struggling to stay warm. Community Support Frankston, partnering with Frankston Council, has set up a “Wall of Kindness” at both the CSF office in Beach Road and at Frankston North Community Centre. Racks of donated new or near new

winter coats will be available on racks to try on for size and warmth. It is the third year “Wall of Kindness” has been organised by CSF in Frankston after the first such campaign in Iran for homeless or disadvantaged people to be able to anonymously donate or swap winter jackets. “Sometimes the smaller acts of kindness make the biggest differ-

ence,” CSF manager Steven Phillips said. Hundreds of organisations and individuals have donated winter coats in Frankston. Donations are still welcome at CSF, 35 Beach Road, Frankston (MondayFriday, 9-11am) or at Frankston North Community Centre, 26 Mahogany Avenue, Frankston North (MondayFriday, 9-11am and 1-3pm).

THOUSANDS of dollars that could have been splashed out on a search and rescue operation off Frankston beach was saved thanks to CCTV surveillance cameras near the foreshore. When a 4-metre tinny containing fishing rods and a bait bag was washed ashore at Frankston beach last Saturday morning (23 June) it was initially feared that fishermen may have fallen overboard. Frankston police Senior Sergeant Phil Hulley said “quick thinking” had avoided the launch of a major search by air across Port Phillip Bay. CCTV footage from cameras installed at the building partly leased by the Frankston Yacht Club showed two men who had walked away from the abandoned tinny. The owner of the tinny, when located by police, said it had been stolen for an apparent joyride at sea. “If it wasn’t for the CCTV it potentially could have cost thousands of dollars for an unneeded search and rescue operation,” Senior Sergeant Hully said. The incident comes as both major political parties coincidentally made Frankston foreshore public safety funding pledges ahead of November’s state election. Labor MPs Paul Edbrooke (Frankston) and Sonya Kilkenny

(Carrum) announced on Thursday (28 June) that the state government would allocate taxpayers’ money for a new vessel and engine upgrades for Frankston Volunteer Coast Guard and engine upgrades for the Carrum Volunteer Guard. On 1 June, Frankston Liberal candidate Michael Lamb said the opposition, if elected, will spend taxpayers’ money on more CCTV cameras across Frankston including “an extensive network along the Frankston foreshore”.

Beach cleaner

Treasured memories Violence link

As a new bayside resident I was looking forward to long walks along our beautiful coastline. But, rather than enjoying my gentle strolls, I have become that strange lady you may have seen wandering along the beach muttering to herself as she picks up rubbish. Plastic bottle tops, torn lolly wrappers, straws, “disposable” coffee cups and their tops, soft drink containers, yesterday a half drunk cup of coffee left neatly beside the sea, building site debris, bits of cellophane, tomato sauce sachets, take away containers, three parking tickets today. Sunny days bring picnic remnants and, after heavy rain, the rubbish thrown onto the streets travels down the stormwater drains to the beach. It is easy to collect a large bag full each day between Granya Grove and Canadian Bay Road, and another between Canadian Bay Road and Daveys Bay roads, Mt Eliza. Can I suggest: 1 The council places bins at beach level near major roads. People often seem to prefer to leave their rubbish on the beach rather than walk up steps to roadside bins. I know it would add five minutes a bin for the rubbish collectors, but the effect would be worth it. 2. We all use the bins provided, or take our rubbish home. Yes, it may just be one small lolly wrapper, drink bottle top or straw. But when the beach is covered in hundreds of them, all sparking in the sun, the peninsula looks like a developing country which has yet to have an efficient garbage collection service. 3. We remember that rubbish dropped on the street ends up in the bay. I am at risk of walking along the streets picking up rubbish from the gutters so it does not end up in the sea. Please save me from this final act of eccentricity. Margaret Rogers, Mt Eliza

I thought of our Treasurer Scott Morrison when I heard of Telstra shedding 8000 jobs, wondering about the long wait in the light of his “trickle down” nonsense. In July 2019 the pension age reaches 66. How tough must it be when you lose your job late 50s managing on a Newstart allowance? Our beloved treasurer surely requires a certain intellectual level to be able to rabbit on as he does for an unstoppable five minutes on any given subject thrown his way. And yet, wandering back through my past years I’m reminded of former bosses supposedly as intelligent as our treasurer? Years past in the Attorney-General’s Department and public service bosses wearing those same suits all year round, more years working for totalisator companies (and my contact as a union delegate with totalisator suits and highly placed government officials), also as an actor under various knowledgeable directors and producers, particularly those trained at VCA or NIDA. What sticks out is a basic fact of life. Namely, the risks we take (throughout) of being broken by the stupidity of our (apparent) superiors. Broken is likely overstating the point; more a case of walking away. How they got to be where they are? It’s castles; always has been. Likely they were all more intelligent than me (or not) but castles, a result of some cunning one or two realising the benefits, the power, of agreeable yes men or women. I’ve lost count the number of times I wrote off (ignored) an ignorant boss in a position of superiority, albeit occasionally self-handicapped after deciding to embarrass the him or her; never a wise move? Cliff Ellen, Rye

People are rightly outraged at the light sentence handed out to a man convicted in the Burnie court of beating at least six fairy penguins to death with a stick on Sulphur Creek beach on New Year’s Day. The magistrate described this as a “callous act” on an “easy target” and said that the attack must have continued for several minutes. Although the magistrate pointed out that the man had shown no remorse, she imposed a penalty of just 49 days’ community service and costs of $82. Penalties for cases of cruelty are rarely imposed to the full extent of the law – under Tasmania’s Animal Welfare Act, animal cruelty can result in fines of $26,000 or imprisonment for up to one and a half years. A spokesperson for Because animals cannot report abuse and can do little to fight back, they’re often used as “practice” victims by violent people. Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty against animals often go on to commit violent acts against their fellow humans. A study by Dr John Clarke, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Sydney and consultant to the NSW police, demonstrated, using police data, that 61.5 per cent of convicted animal abuse offenders had also committed an assault and 17 per cent were guilty of sexual abuse. Most disturbingly, animal abuse was a better predictor of sexual assault than previous convictions for homicide, arson, or firearms offences. Only one per cent of cruelty-to-animals offenders had no other convictions at all. It’s time that this country started to treat cases of cruelty to animals as the serious crimes that they are. If you suspect someone of abusing an animal, report it to authorities right away, for the safety of humans and non-humans alike. Desmond Bellamy, PETA Australia

Up in smoke

A HOUSE in Cockatoo Drive, Carrum Downs went up in flames at about 7.30pm last Wednesday (27 June). Two occupants were taken to hospital for treatment for smoke inhalation. Two dogs were placed in the care of a vet. Police attended but the fire is not believed to be suspicious. Picture: Gary Sissons

Skye pursuit SOMERVILLE Highway Patrol police arrested a man after a pursuit in Skye last Saturday night (23 June). Highway patrol members first spotted a Volkswagens Golf, displaying false number plates, driving erratically on the Western Port Highway at about 11pm. An attempt was made to intercept the vehicle and it failed to stop before performing a U-turn to travel north. The vehicle was dumped a short time later in roadworks near Thompsons Road and the offender tried to run off. A 32-year-old Frankston man was arrested following a short chase. A search of the allegedly stolen vehicle uncovered an alleged imitation firearm and what is believed to be a small quantity of methyl amphetamine. The Frankston man, who was also wanted by police on over 20 outstanding warrants, remains in custody.

Lock up before leaving LOCKING cars at all times, even when parked at home in the driveway or in a garage or carport will reduce the chances of being a victim of theft, police say. Keys should never be left in a vehicle and if possible park cars in a well-lit area. Valuable items to tempt thieves to break into cars would never be left in a vehicle and should be secure or hidden from view.

ANYONE recognising the man is asked to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or Senior Constable Allen 5978 1300.

Fake $50 notes have same serial number A MAN who handed over fake $50 notes at an outdoors store in Mornington may have handed over another fake note at a Berwick fast-food outlet. Senior Constable Jacinta Allen, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, said the serial numbers on the notes – CK14947940 – was the same used at both locations. She said on 26-27 May the man used two $50 notes to buy items at the BCF store in Mornington and then, on 29 May, placed a $5 order at a take away food outlet in Clyde Road, Berwick. The man paid for his order with a $50 note and received $45 in change before leaving the store – without bothering to take his food order.

Premier hints at hospital help By Mike Hast* PREMIER Daniel Andrews has given a tantalising hint of his government’s support for the ambitious Frankston Hospital redevelopment project. Mr Andrews was guest speaker at a “business brunch” held at McClelland Gallery’s cafe last Wednesday (27 June), organised by Committee for Greater Frankston lobby group. During a wide-ranging speech, the Premier told more than 90 locals that Frankston Hospital was a “bellwether of how the area is going”. He said May’s state budget had included money for new emergency department (ED) crisis hubs to separate people dealing with serious mental health or addiction issues from other patients. Frankston’s ED hub would be one of six in the state. “I’ll have more to say about funding for Peninsula Health and the hospital in the near future,” he said with a smile. Earlier, Committee for Greater Frankston vice-president Christine Richards said Frankston Hospital was doing a “terrific job with available resources and had treated 75,000 patients this financial year”. “However, it needs an upgrade. A number of wards have four patients sharing a bathroom and toilet, which no longer meets contemporary infection control standards.” It was, for example, inappropriate for elderly women to be sharing a ward with young men, she said. Modernising the hospital would mean 1000 jobs during construction and then 500 long-term jobs for doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and administration staff. Committee CEO Ginevra Hosking said the $380 million-plus hospital project would “be a vital investment for the healthcare of the community as well as future economic prosperity and jobs growth in the greater Frankston region”. “Redevelopment will enable teaching and academic research into the fields of aged care including dementia, chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and social health issues.” She said the project would include integrated maternity and children’s services, cancer diagnosis and treatment under one roof, and clinical teaching spaces for training doctors, nurses and allied health staff. In what was seen by many as an election pitch, Mr Andrews outlined his government’s schools, hospitals, road and crossing removal construc-

tion programs, which had generated 75,000 jobs. They were part of 340,000 jobs created since the government was elected in 2014, he said, and showed Victoria had a buoyant and confident private sector. The government was spending $80 million on schools in the Frankston region: “A small but powerful investment.”

The Premier indicated his government would not make any commitment to fund the extension of the Frankston train line before the state election in November – a project that the Committee for Greater Frankston and Frankston Council have stated would bring significant benefits to the region. Addressing the Premier at the

event, Christine Richards told him the rail extension would improve access to the hospital, greatly expand the catchment area for students of Monash University’s Peninsula campus, connect Karingal and Langwarrin’s 37,000 residents with quick and reliable public transport, and free up car parking in Frankston’s CBD. Other topics covered by the Pre-

mier included free courses at TAFEs and a new initiative at 100 schools including in the Frankston region that would see students studying for VCAL or VCE and a trade certificate at the same time. Mr Andrews took questions from the floor and first on the mic was Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton, who asked about the rail extension project. Mr Andrews said the business case was underway and would be completed “next year” when asked whether the Labor state government would pledge $225 million to the project, matching a commitment from the federal Coalition government. The Premier said he would ask Minister for Public Transport Jacinta Allan to keep the community informed. Other questions include one from Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bryan Payne who asked the Premier for $2 million for an express bus from Rosebud and Dromana to Frankston station (“I’ll look at it”) and one from Kim Jackson, executive manager of Village Baxter retirement centre, who asked what could be done about Frankston Hospital’s current practice of accommodating “elderly patients who wander” in the high-security adult psychiatric ward rather than lightsecurity general wards. Mr Andrews said Peninsula Health and the hospital were responsible “for service planning” but that this feedback was extremely valuable information for the new hospital design process. Before the McClelland Gallery event, Mr Andrews was joined by Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke and Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny to inspect the completed level crossing removal at Skye and Overton roads, which opened to road traffic on 23 June, and the under-construction Frankston train station, where trains resumed on 18 June. The station will be fully completed in December. * Mike Hast is a freelance writer for the Committee for Greater Frankston Advertisement

Love is in the air for Young at FAC SEASONED performer John Paul Young will be stopping through Frankston on his Vanda & Young Songbook tour, performing at the Frankston Art Centre on 6 July. The tour sees John Paul Young and the Allstar Band performing hits written by songwriters Harry Vanda and George Young, with songs such as Friday on my Mind, Falling in Love Again, and the iconic Love is in the Air on the set list. “This is going to be a catalogue of my involvement with George Young and Harry Vanda, and the things I’ve learned about them over the years. This is going to be a great charting of their time in the business,” Young said. Young worked with the writers from the 70s all the way until the mid-noughties, most notably collaborating to create Young’s biggest hit, Love is in the Air. One of the songs set to be performed is AC/DC’s It’s a Long Way to the Top, the only number not written by Vanda and Young. “I was unsure about doing the song because it’s a damn hard song to sing, but we wanted to show off the fact that George and Harry were also excellent producers, not just excellent writers. We do it as

a salute to their production work,” Young said. After five decades of experience, four million record sales, and an ARIA Hall of Fame entry, Young said that he still loves performing concerts to this day, and promises attendees will have a great time. “Performing feels much better these days. I still get very nervous about performing because it’s tough performing songs from my mid-20s now that I’m close to 70. It takes a lot of energy to pull it off but these days it feels more rewarding,” he said. “I haven’t been to the peninsula in a long time, it has to have been about 10 years. I’m really looking forward to performing there, it’s going to be a lot of fun.” Tickets are available for John Paul Young and The Allstar Band The Vanda & Young Songbook on Friday 6 July, 8pm at artscentre. frankston.vic.gov.au online or by calling 9784 1060.

Centenarian’s lifelong link with Baxter FAMILY and friends celebrated the centenary of long-time Baxter and Somerville resident Mabel Grace Blum at Somerville Bowling Club on Sunday 24 June. The mother of five, grandmother of 10, and great-grandmother of 10, was born on her parents’ poultry farm on Hendersons Road, Baxter, on 27 June 1918 – the same year the area known as Mornington Junction was renamed Baxter. Her parents, Allan and Grace Dicker, attended the progress association meeting of that year which voted to adopt the name of Baxter. Following on from this, Ms Blum was a guest of honour at the Baxter centenary celebrations in her own centenary year. Ms Blum’s paternal grandparents Thomas and Louisa Dicker established an orchard in Somerville in 1896. Her maternal grandparents Stephen and Sarah Vinecombe moved to Mornington Junction from Nhill by bullock and dray in 1907. Of her eight great-grandparents, five migrated to Australia between 1840 and 1853. The remaining

three were here before the 1830s. In the late 1930s Ms Blum met her husband Bill Blum, of Langwarrin, and they bought a 20-hectare bush block from her father. For three years, while Mr Blum served in World War II, she lived in a two-room house with three children under five without electricity, running water, telephone or transport. On Mr Blum’s return they cleared the block by hand and eventually established the dairy farm Blueberry Hill Jersey Stud. They also achieved success over the decades exhibiting champion dairy cattle at the Royal Melbourne Show and country shows around Victoria. After her husband’s death in 1982, Ms Blum and son Ken continued the dairy farm until, being one of the last in the area, the local supplier would no longer collect their milk. So, after 70 years of living in Baxter, she moved to Somerville to begin a new phase of her life, becoming involved in community activities, including Somerville Bowling Club and Frankston Hospital Ladies Auxiliary.

Getting out to beat the lonesome blues PENINSULA Social Club volunteer Michael Hillier is a man on a mission: He wants to end “social isolation and loneliness” among mainly elderly and those with disabilities on the Mornington Peninsula. The social club - part of the not for profit community transport service Peninsula Transport Assist - arranges social and lunch get-togethers designed to get its mainly elderly clients out of their houses and mingling with others in social settings. “Our mission is that nobody should be without company if they want it,” said Mr Hillier, who has run social activities for older people and those with disabilities for the past 20 years. He previously worked at the Brotherhood of St Laurence and admits to being “passionate about community development”. “The latest research shows social isolation and loneliness is as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes per day,” he said. “It contributes to an increased risk of heart disease, dementia and depression. It has a major effect on older people, particularly if they live alone, no longer drive or are recently widowed.” Those attending activities, such as luncheons and musicals, pay a flat rate of $25 to be escorted door to door. This covers the volunteer’s vehicle running costs and contributes to the cost of meals. “Everyone is welcome,” Mr Hillier said. “There are no age restrictions, and volunteer companions and drivers are there to help. The activities are suitable for all needs and fitness levels.”

Invoices can be sent straight to a home care or disability provider and clients receive reminder phone calls, SMS and emails. Those needing personal care can bring along a family member, or support worker, and other volunteers attending can offer friendship and

support. The monthly lunches from 12-2pm are held at hotels and restaurants which have seniors’ menus. The cost ranges from $15-$40. Venues are Beretta’s Langwarrin Hotel, Langwarrin, on the first Tuesday of the month,

Kings Creek Hotel, Hastings, second Tuesday, Mornington Hotel, third Tuesday, and Rosebud Hotel, fourth Tuesday. Morning Melodies are at The New Atrium, Safety Beach, and The Sands, Carrum Downs. Call: 0418 139 515.

MORNINGTON’S Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society members will hear about Imperial China in the 18th century when David Rosier addresses their meeting on Friday 6 July. Mr Rosier’s talk Ruling from behind the Yellow Silk Screen will focus on the Dowager Empress Cixi (1835-1908). An author and lecturer with 25 years’ experience of East Asia, Mr Rosier is a past committee member of the Hong Kong Textile Society, and lecturer on Chinese imperial government and emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Empress Cixi is often portrayed as an evil, cruel, calculating tyrant who resisted all attempts to modernise and industrialise China. Although she has been blamed for the downfall of the Qing Dynasty, historians are now reappraising her life and suggesting her opponents perpetuated her bad image. The lecture seeks to provide a balanced insight into Cixi’s life and her achievements as ruler over one third of the world’s population. New members are welcome to join ADFAS. The first lecture is free. They are held at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Road, Mornington, 5.30pm, Fridays. They are followed by light refreshments and an opportunity to meet the lecturer and fellow members. Bookings: Glad Hungerford 9787 2092. Details: Vicky Davison 0407 810 877.

Full schedule: Mornington’s Roy Francis likes being busy. Picture: Yanni

THE old adage: “If you want something done ask the busiest person to do it” could have been referring to Mornington man Roy Francis. Last year’s Victorian Senior of the Year, Mr Francis, 77, is a cancer survivor who, as the first volunteer ambassador of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, uses his diagnosis to promote prostate cancer awareness. He wants Frankston and Mornington Peninsula seniors to follow his lead and nominate for the 2018 Victorian Senior of the Year Awards which close Friday 20 July Mr Francis is an “inspiration to his community, regularly travelling throughout Victoria to share his story, making more than 750 cancer awareness presentations”, according to seniors spokesperson Madeleine Page. However, he has now had to “cut back” on his presentations. “After giving nearly 900 talks to 27,000 people or so, I seem to have covered everybody, certainly on the Mornington Peninsula.” Mr Francis has previously been president of Mornington Croquet Club, vice-president of Balnarring Picnic Racing Club and vicepresident of Mornington National Seniors. He was Mornington Lions Club Citizen of the Year 2015, and is the only Australian to receive the International Edward C Kaps Hope Award, presented in Chicago, for support group leadership.

He is now president of the Bentons Square Community Centre management committee alongside his wife, Helen, who is also on the committee. “We have a wonderful staff and group of volunteers here,” he said. He is also co-chair – again with Helen – of the new men’s health group at The Bays Hospital as well as a community speaker and “bowel screening champion” of the Cancer Council Victoria for his work in promoting bowel screening testing at home. “My greatest pleasure is seeing the enjoyment of the volunteers at the various organisations and groups with who I am involved,” Mr Francis said. The seniors’ awards honour the time, skills and support older Victorians have given to the community since turning 60. They also recognise businesses that create age-friendly environments. Award categories highlight seniors’ roles as mentors, educators, role models, leaders and behind-the-scenes workers. Individual awards include the Premier’s Award for Victorian Senior of the Year, Promotion of Multiculturalism Award, Healthy and Active Living Award, Veteran Community Award and Victorian Senior Achiever Awards. In recent years, older members of the Aboriginal community have been under-represented in the nomination process. Recipients of awards will be honoured at the 36th Victorian Seniors Festival at Government House in October.

THE ART OF COASTAL LIVING THIS as new single-level beach residence has been architecturally designed to perfectly blend coastal aesthetics with contemporary luxury living. Spotted Gum shiplap cladding, rustic brickwork and Colorbond steel have all been used to great effect in creating a striking facade that is further complemented by the extensive timber decking that wraps around the home on its north and west faces. A wide entry showcases magnificent oak floors which extend throughout the home. The master bedroom with superb ensuite and walk-in robe is to the right and continuing along is a fine formal lounge highlighted by a dramatic reclaimed Hawthorn brick feature wall and open fire place. Two more bedrooms, both with built-in robes, sit either side of the main bathroom with classic freestanding stone bath, and then you majestically arrive in the enormous open plan family zone. Classic Australian beach lifestyle is all about the family and entertaining which is centred here on a stunning, beautifully appointed kitchen with Carrara marble island bench and benchtops. The seamless transition from the adjoining dining and lounge spaces to the spectacular outdoor living zone ensures you can celebrate every season and occasion. Walls of retractable glass doors are a practical design feature that opens up this entire space to the elements and the invigorating sea air, with the waters of Bass Strait providing a constant reminder of the coastal rawness of this pristine part of the peninsula. Complete with an outdoor kitchen, this fully enclosed outdoor room includes a sheltered lounge, with strip heating and ceiling fan, that overlooks the solar heated pool and separate spa. A fourth bedroom, also with ensuite and walk-in robe is set up for guests and there is a study alcove set into the hallway near the formal lounge. From the street, remote controlled gates guard a polished concrete driveway which leads to a splendid four car garage with internal access.n

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston soldier suffers shell wounds Compiled by Brodie Cowburn PTE. R. Deane, of Frankston, was officially reported admitted to Royal Herbert Hospital, Woolwich, England, on 25 May 1918, suffering from severe shell wounds in left knee. *** IN the latest casualty list published appear the names of the following Peninsula soldiers who have been wounded: Ptes. A. B. Cleane, Flinders; N. R. Houfe, Tyabb,;and J. Lyons, Pearcedale. *** HEAR that talented actress, Miss Langley supported by a powerful company at the Frankston Concert for the soldier boys in the Mechanics’ Hall this evening. *** IT is quite on the cards that if a Progress Association is formed in Frankston that funds will be organised for a costly brick pavilion for the Frankston Park, and the various entertainments and amusements will be organised for local and Red Cross objects. A proposal has also been mooted for a “Home Coming to Frankston” of all former and old residents of the district, when Frankston would probably have a gala week. *** ON Friday, July 12th, Rev. J. C. Farquahar and Capt. H Brew will visit Frankston, and in the afternoon will meet the committees of the Mordialloc, Mornington, Somerville, and Frankston branches of the Protestant Federation and form a district council. They will be entertained at tea by

the lady members of the Frankston branch. In the evening a public meeting will be held in the hall, when the Rev. Farquahar and Captain. Brew will deliver addresses. *** WHAT promises to be one of the very best programmes ever submitted in Frankston will be produced sharp at 8pm this evening in the Mechanics’ Hall, in aid of the Langwarrin Military Training Camp Fund. Excellent Melbourne Artists, known as the famous Meery Eight Company The Langwarrin Military Orchestra will render selections from a quarter to eight and patrons are advised to secure their seats early as tickets have been selling very freely. *** NOW that it has been decided by the residents of Frankston to plant an Honor Avenue to perpetuate the memory of those lads who enlisted from Frankston and district, in defence of their King and Country, the committee which has been appointed to carry it into effect, confidently ask those interested in the movement to assist them in bringing it to a successful issue. The expense in preparing the ground, fencing, procuring trees and having an inscribed tablet for each one is considerable. As the function takes place next week the committee would be pleased if those intending to contribute to the cost would forward their contributions to the Hon. secretary at the “Standard” office within the next few days. They make this appeal feeling sure that it will be taken up in the spirit in which

it is meant, and that the response accorded will be a liberal one. *** ON Saturday last the annual sale of gifts, to help provide funds for the upkeep of the missionary in New Guinea, was held in the Methodist schoolroom Frankston. Miss Carr and her assistants worked hard and a brisk trade was done, so that a substantial sum should be added to the fund. *** THERE was a splendid attendance at the euchre party and dance held at Frankston under the auspices of the Wattle Club on Thursday evening. At these fixtures patrons are assured an enjoyable time, and they are gaining rapidly in popularity. Sixteen tables were engaged for the euchre tournament on the last occasion and the prizes were won by Miss D. Gregory and Mr. Bert McSweeney. After supper provided by the club members, a most enjoyable dance was held. *** MEMBERS of Red Cross and other patriotic societies have long been penalised by the extraordiraily high price of knitting wool, which rendered the making of socks for the men in the trenches a heavy extra drain up on the finances. At the meeting of the Victorian division of the Red Cross Society on Thursday this matter was referred to by a representative of a country branch, who asked whether the executive could do nothing in the matter. Wool that could be obtained in 1915 for £6 2s now cost £9 14s, and yet

it was essential that wool should be obtained. *** MESSRS Alex Scott & Co. will hold a clearing sale on account of Mr E. R. Ridgers, Balnarring, today (Sat.) at 1 o’clock sharp, when horses, cow, pigs, poultry, and sundries will be offered. *** A FATALITY accompanied by pathetic incidents occurred last night on the Gong Gong road, the victim being John Henry Renouf, residing at Eastwood street. It appears that Renouf, accompanied by William Tainsh and Thomas Johns,—the three being telegraph and telephone linesmen had been working in the Gong Gong district for a short period on repairs, alterations etc. On Tuesday night about 5.15 o’clock the three men left the Gong to ride into Ballarat to their homes. Johns and Tainsh were about a quarter of a mile ahead of Renouf when coming past Black Hill along Humffray street and as Renouf’s machine had given him trouble on the way out owing, it is said to a faulty pedal, Tainsh rode back to see if his mate was in difficulties. He found Renouf leaning against a fence rather dazed, but able to answer questions. He told Tainsh that the fork of his bicycle had snapped and he had been thrown, but was not hurt. A cab came along about this time and the broken bicycle was placed on it and Renouf was driven home, leaving his machine at the shop to be repaired. Shortly after Renouf reached home he lapsed into unconsciousness. Dr.

Soter was sent for, and he advised the man’s removal to the hospital. Mrs Renouf took her husband there, and Dr Sanderson admitted him for treatment. Renouf however never regained consciousness, and died at 5 o’clock on Wednesday morning. The cause of death is stated to have been laceration of the brain. The matter was reported to Sergt. Priest, of Ballarat South, and under his direction Const. Stewart made enquiries which elicited the above facts, and laid them before the district coroner, Mr Harris, P M., who, as the hospital authorities had given a certificate, judged an inquest not to be necessary, and issued an order for burial. The deceased, who was a son of Mr and Mrs F. Renouf, of Frankston, had only been married nine months, and the deepest sympathy is expressed with the young wife, parents and relatives, in their sad and sudden bereavement. *** EVERYTHING points to a successful function at Frankston on Saturday next, when the tree planting ceremony to honor the boys who have enlisted from the district, will take place. Next week the grading and fencing will be undertaken, and everything should be ready by the time appointed. The Volunteer Motor Corps are bringing along a large number of returned soldiers, and they will be accompanied by the State Governor. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 6 July 1918

PABLO® Handsensor – modern technology assisting Stroke patients IN Australia, someone will have a stroke, every 9 minutes.* In 80% of these cases, damage to the central nervous system reduces the ability to move certain parts of the body, including the arm and hand. Therapeutic intervention aims to facilitate return of movement to the affected areas. Advanced technologies that support movement therapy have the potential to shorten therapy times and raise the quality of recovery after a stroke and may lead to a return to work in some cases. St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital is one of only three sites in Victoria that has a PABLO® system. This system is a modern assessment and therapy device used for the rehabilitation of people with impaired motor functions. Generally used for the neurological rehabilitation of the arm and hand, its function is based on neuroplasticity the brain’s basic ability to reorganise itself - allowing intact brain areas to take over the tasks of damaged areas, through targeted stimulation of the intact areas. The PABLO® Handsensor is a real all-rounder: It is a hand-arm therapy and assessment device in one. It provides training for all handgrip movements, and traces the strength of the hand and range of motion. Even small movement or force improvements become visible. This is highly motivating for patients who ordinarily wouldn’t be able to see such small improvements. There is a large variety of interactive therapy games to choose from. Each of which are displayed

on a computer screen and can be individually adapted to suit each person’s personal needs. Once engaged with the games, patients often claim “this is fun….I can’t believe it’s therapy!” This level of engagement stimulates the motor

learning process and helps the patient to perform the high numbers of active repetitions required to drive neuroplasticity. The PABLO® system is one of many tools used by therapists at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation

Hospital to help patients in their recovery from a stroke. For more information about their facilities, services or programs please call 9788 3333. Referrals: Outpatient referrals can be sent to:

Eustachian tube to open up and alleviate some pressure (please ensure you do not blow too hard). A blocked ear can usually resolve itself. However, there are times when medical intervention is required, such as the use of grommets. In short, grommets are little tubes that go into the ear drum to help ventilate the inside of the ear because the Eustachian tube is not doing its job properly. When your ears recover from being blocked, you might hear a ‘pop’, and then follows an explosion of sound

and a sense of wonder that you can hear every little thing. Alternatively, you can also hear crackling sounds when you swallow. This is a sign that the Eustachian tube is functioning or is trying to function properly.

VIKA & LINDA BULL MAKE GRAND RETURN RETURNING to the Grand Hotel Mornington, soulful powerhouse sisters – Vika & Linda Bull. For 30 years, the glorious voices of Vika and Linda Bull have comprised one of the most distinctive, versatile and emotionally charged sounds on the Australian music landscape. Since their multi-platinum conquest of pop radio with the Black Sorrows in the late 1980s, the sisters have forged diverse pathways into soul, gospel, blues, country and the island music of their Tongan ancestry. By turns tender and powerful, their rich solo vocals and instinctive harmonies have spawned eight albums of their own, as well as illuminating studio and concert performances by Paul Kelly, Rockwiz, C.W. Stoneking, Deborah Conway, Kasey Chambers and many more. Their invitation to join Joe Camilleri’s Black Sorrows ushered in that band’s most successful era: Hold Onto Me, Harley and Rose and Better Times were all tripleplatinum albums between ‘88 and ‘92, and the sisters’ prominent vocals captivated massive audiences, here and worldwide. Vika & Linda, their debut album of 1994, was produced by Paul Kelly and written by some of the most accomplished songwriters of the era, including Paul Kelly, Joe Camilleri, Stephen Cummings, Mark Seymour and Nick Barker. The next decade found the sisters embracing a range of

musical possibilities on a string of albums. On stage and in the studio, they continue to seek challenges as diverse Tell The Angels, a gospel album recorded live in a Brunswick pub; Meet Me In the Middle of the Air, an innovative mix of jazz and

gospel created by Paul Kelly and Paul Grabowsky; The Merri Soul Sessions presented by Paul Kelly and Paul Kelly’s Seven Sonnets & A Song. Additionally Vika has taken the lead in At Last The Etta James Story which saw its world premiere

in Melbourne in 2013 and since then has toured Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Vika has also recently shared the stage with iconic singer Debra Byrne in “Tapestry: The Songs Of Carole King” which played to packed houses around Australia since

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Confessions of a Beverage Snob By Stuart McCullough EVEN I was shocked. Some things, once said, cannot be forgotten. Even if not written down, they live on in the memory of those unfortunate enough to have heard them. They’re permanent. Words, once they leap over your lips and escape past your teeth, can never be caught. To hear my own voice speaking the unspeakable was an existential jolt to the system from which I may never recover. I began to question everything. How did it come to this? What kind of monster have I become? Is it too late to change my order? Because never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I’d ever utter the following words: I’ll have a skinny decaf flat white, thanks. I’m not sure how it came to this. One day, you’re completely normal. The next you’re ordering a coffee that has more names than an Oxfordeducated scrum half. It’s a simply diabolical state of affairs, no matter how you slice it. At least I didn’t ask for almond milk. That would have been a bridge too far over troubled water. Granted, that very same troubled water would soon be water under the bridge, unless of course I elect to cross that bridge when I come to it; an act that is, of itself, delayed because I’ve decided to stop for coffee. You can see why I’m worried. On the one hand, the heart wants what it wants. If that’s a warm beverage that takes longer to say than it does to drink, so be it. On the other hand, there are some things that are rightly the subject of ridicule because

PAGE 28

Frankston Times 2 July 2018

they crash through the boundaries of decency. Even I knew I’d gone too far. This was made clear to me when the waitress reacted to my order by looking incredibly disappointed. Discouraged even. In fact, now that I think about it, there may well have been a tear in the corner of her eye. It wasn’t always this way. There are many things that make

my family what it is. We share common values, a sense of humour and an almost uncanny ability to park crookedly. So much so that my brother and I have taken to texting each other whenever we manage to get the car even remotely within the lines. Some mornings, I’ll pick up my phone to find a text message from my brother

that consists only of a photo of his car parked neatly in a parking bay. I always compliment him on his skills and never point out that, technically speaking, he ought to parked front to back and not side on as he has inevitably elected to do. The other thing we have in common is coffee. The standard McCullough order is simple: white with one. That’s been the standing order for decades. Despite this, whenever my father puts the kettle on, he still asks how I take my coffee. As though I might have changed my mind. Or, worse still, that even though it’s the same way that he takes his coffee, my father hasn’t yet committed my order to memory. For many years, our coffee of choice was International Roast. Even the name was cosmopolitan. We were devotees of the standard edition beverage rather than the more upscale (and supersized) caterer’s blend. This was unkindly referred to as ‘instant coffee’ notwithstanding that it might permanently damage your taste buds and that the aftertaste lingered like graffiti on your metaphorical gustatory walls. Little wonder we decided to upgrade. From International Roast, we moved on to Blend 43. I’ve no idea what happened to the other forty-two blends. Best not to think about it. It even looked fundamentally different to International Roast. Instead of a fine powder that both looked and tasted like something developed in a cold-war laboratory, Blend 43 was a far more granular affair. Which made

it seem more genuine. This was fine until Moccona blew our minds. Suddenly, Blend 43 was the acid wash denim of the beverage world. But through it all, my order remained the same: white with one. Then coffee became something you bought when you were out, rather than something made around the kitchen bench. And, quite frankly, once I experienced coffee as made by a trained professional rather than, say, my father, it was pretty hard to go back. Like lots of people, coffee became part of my daily routine. And, frankly, I’m spoiled for choice. So much so, that simply saying ‘white with one’ is no longer an option. I can’t imagine the reaction that’d get from my barista. Doubtless, he’d have to do all he could to not unravel his man-bun and try to throttle me. But it’s not just a case of ‘how did I get here’? It’s also a matter of ‘where am I going?’ If my coffee journey started at International Roast and has arrived at a decaf skinny flat white, goodness knows where I’ll end up. Before I know it, I’ll be demanding cold-filtered organic coffee that’s been slow-dripped into a beaker over eighteen agonizing days by a Nobelprize winning organic-certified barista with soy milk, a dash of cold water and topped off with truffle shavings and a caramel drizzle. At that point, my transformation will be complete. And as I sit down with my coffee and gaze off into the middle distance, I’ll be sure to stop and think for a moment: who on earth am I? stuart@stuartmccullough.com

HUMANS - A STIRRING JOURNEY OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN TEN acrobats take us on a stiring journey of what it means to be human, and of how our bodies, our connections, and our aspirations all form part of who we are. Exploring the physical limits of their bodies as they are pushed to the extreme they question how much we can take as humans. How much weight can we carry? Who can we trust to support our

load? They lead us to reflect on our lives, our loved ones, the burdens we carry and the physical and emotional strength it takes to overcome them. Created by Yaron Lifschitz, the stage is stripped bare as the vulnerability of a team of highly skilled acrobats is exposed. With incredible strength and integrity they connect each moment seamlessly with the next in a

thrilling and heart-stopping performance. Glimpse their humanity as they as they find redemptive power in strength and celebrate what it means to be fiercely human. Humans - FAC Theatre Wednesday 22 August, 8pm Bookings: 03 9784 1060 or thefac.com.au

Stonecats slide to six match slump DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn FRANKSTON YCW suffered a thrilling three point loss to Bonbeach this Saturday, which sees their streak of games without a win in MPNFL Division One stretch to a stunning six matches. After their match was called off last week due to an injury, the Stonecats were looking to snap their bad run of form against a Bonbeach side that has struggled at times this season. Frankston YCW got off to a strong start and took a nine point lead into the first break, but Bonbeach were not going to let the game get away from them. After the ball bounced to kick off proceedings in the second term, Bonbeach quickly kicked their way back into the game, and kept in touch with the Stonecats all day. Bonbeach reduced the lead to just three points at half time, and they went on to take the lead and go into the final break with a three point advantage of their own. A nail biting final quarter saw only two scoring shots registered, as both sides worked tirelessly to grasp desperately needed wins. As the final siren sounded, it was Bonbeach who just had their noses ahead, as they gained a stunning victory over Frankston YCW 9.7 (61) to 8.10 (58). The shock result for Frankston YCW sees them stumble to fifth place, uncharted territory for a side that is used to sitting comfortably in the top positions of the ladder. They take on fourth place Frankston Bombers in a vital

clash at Greg Beck Oval next week. Around the grounds, Mornington came close to pulling off the upset of the season, as they made EdithvaleAspendale work hard for a gritty victory. Mornington shocked their highly fancied opponents by racing out of the gates, kicking five goals to two in a one sided first quarter. Not willing to go down without a fight, Edithvale-Aspendale stormed the second quarter with an impressive

display of their own, as they kicked six goals to Mornington’s one to wrestle back the lead. In difficult conditions, it became clear that one end was certainly the favourable scoring end, as Mornington went on to reclaim their lead by the threequarter time break, but only by a narrow six point margin. The ninth place Bulldogs were desperate to claim the win, but ultimately the strength of Edithvale-Aspendale overpowered them in the final term, as

they bested the Bulldogs 12.8 (80) to 13.13 (91). The win takes Edithvale-Aspendale to second place on the ladder, one game behind Sorrento. Last weekend Edithvale-Aspendale also claimed a hard fought victory, as they took on Pines in a thrilling encounter. The contest swung back and forth throughout the day, but as the final siren sounded it was EdithvaleAspendale who found themselves just ahead. The score finished Pines 12.17 (89) to Edithvale-Aspendale 14.6 (90). At Olympic Oval, Rosebud played host to in form ladder leaders Sorrento. Sorrento were boosted by the return of tall forward Chris Dawes, a welcomed addition to a side that was already strong as it was. The Sharks flexed their muscle with a dominant showing in the first half, as they went into the main break with a comfortable 37 point advantage. Lowly Rosebud were able to show some signs of fight in the second half, but exited the contest with nothing to show for it, as they succumbed to Sorrento 9.9 (63) to 15.12 (102). It was a complete team performance from the Sharks, with Zach Byrns, Nick Corp, and Chris Dawes kicking three goals each. The win keeps the Sharks a game clear on top of the ladder and caps off a good week for Sorrento, as they confirmed during the week that they had locked in playing coach Luke Tapscott to continue coaching the club next season. Belvedere Reserve also saw action on Saturday, as bottom of the ladder

Seaford hosted Frankston Bombers. Despite entering the contest with just one win to their name, Seaford looked the better team in the early stages of the contest, as they went into the quarter time break with a four point lead. Although they looked as if they might provide some fight in the first quarter, Frankston Bombers quickly asserted their authority on the match, as they kicked away with a seven goal to one second quarter that put Seaford out of the contest. Seaford could not cut back the lead throughout the rest of the afternoon, as Frankston Bombers ran out convincing victors 10.5 (65) to 15.14 (104). Curtis Baker performed valiantly for the losing side with five goals, while Jay Reynolds and Sam Fox both booted five majors each for the victors. Fox has now booted ten goals in his last two games. In the final match of Division One this weekend, Pines took on Mt Eliza at Eric Bell Reserve. Pines were coming off a heartbreaking one point loss to Edithvale-Aspendale last weekend, and were looking to bounce back with a win. The contest was an even one, with the margin only standing at three points in Pines’ favour at the three-quarter time break. Despite looking set to go down to the wire, Mt Eliza showed their class and quality in the final term to run away with that game, with the score finishing 7.15 (57) to 11.9 (75) in Mt Eliza’s favour.

Impressive Kangaroos upset Bulls DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn LANGWARRIN have battled hard to secure an upset victory against Karingal at Lloyd Park in MPNFL Division Two football on Saturday. The Kangaroos started quickly and put themselves in the box seat with a dominant first half, thanks in part to a standout performance in the ruck from Matt Naughton, who gave his midfielders first use of the ball all day. Langwarrin were smashing Karingal through the middle, dominating centre clearances and barely giving the Bulls a look in during the first half. Karingal’s frustration was starting to show as Aaron Paxton was sent off the field after a heated scuffle and verbal confrontation with the umpire, much to the delight of the Langwarrin crowd. With the game rapidly getting out of reach, Karingal had to have a big third term to stay in touch, and they certainly did. The Bulls finally showed the quality that got them to second place on the ladder and closed the margin to just two goals at the three-quarter time break. The task of holding on to the lead was also made more difficult by the fact that Langwarrin were reduced to just one man on the interchange bench, with the biggest blow being the loss of playing co-coach Blake McCormack who was stretchered from the field after a huge head knock. Up against the odds in the final term, Langwarrin fought valiantly to hold onto their lead, and ended up taking out a brave victory over Karingal 12.17 (89) to 11.5 (71).

Matt Stanley was the standout performer for the losing side, as he booted five goals at crucial times to keep his side alive. Blake McCormack, who appeared in good spirits after his injury scare during the game, said he was optimistic about how his side could run out the rest of the year. “It’s fantastic to see where we’ve come from since the start of the season to now. We’ve got good support around the club which makes your job super easy as a coach. We’re super proud of the lads and their challenge for the finals,” he said. “It’s onwards and upwards from here; to take a scalp like this in the back end of the season give us a heap of hope.” Langwarrin were also inspired by the news that they had closed the gap on

fifth place Hastings, who fell to Rye at RJ Rowley Reserve. In difficult conditions, Rye absolutely blitzed Hastings in the first term with a stunning eight goals to one display. Despite being put on the back foot early, Hasting enjoyed a much more fruitful second term, as they took advantage of kicking to the scoring end and cut the lead to three goals at the half time break. The see-sawing contest again fell in Rye’s favour in the third term, with Hastings held to just one behind and the lead blowing out to 39 points. Despite a late fight back, it was a case of too little too late for Hastings, as they succumbed to an impressive Rye outfit 13.9 (87) to 9.17 (71). Adam Kirkwood was the star player on the day, as he kicked four goals in

a best on ground performance for Rye. At Pearcedale Recreation Reserve, Pearcedale put on an impressive performance against Devon Meadows in front of a bumper home crowd. The main drawcard for the day was Pearcedale’s new signing, as former AFL All Australian and North Melbourne forward Drew Petrie made his debut in a one off appearance for the club. The cameo deal is similar to the one that saw Barry Hall play a game in Pearcedale colours last season. Petrie got the crowd involved with an early goal, but largely played second fiddle as his teammates stole the show. Pearcedale held a seventeen point lead going into the final break, but the game was still not dead and buried. With Devon Meadows threatening a fight back, Petrie made a move into the ruck to help stem the flow, and the tactic worked effectively. Pearcedale had to survive a late scare, but ended up running out eight point victors over Devon Meadows 10.8 (68) to 9.6 (60). At Red Hill Recreation Reserve, Red Hill took on Chelsea in a highly anticipated clash of third against fourth. Although it looked on paper to be an even contest, unfortunately the game was fairly one sided right from the outset. Red Hill proved to be the more effective team in the wet, as they frustrated the Seagulls by holding them to just two goals in the first half. Chelsea were helped by a four goal performance from Curtis Bywater, who took his tally for the year to 39, but in the end it counted for little as Red Hill

proved too strong, claiming victory 12.6 (78) to 6.5 (41). It was business as usual for Dromana as they took on Somerville, but they had to survive a big early scare first. Top of the ladder Dromana have hardly put a foot wrong all season, but were shell shocked as Somerville held them goalless in the first term to take a 16 point lead into the quarter time break. Suddenly faced with an unexpected challenge, it didn’t take long for Dromana to correct their course and gain the lead. By half time they held a five point advantage, and that lead only grew as the day went on. Sam Fowler and Ethan Johnstone impressed for Dromana with five and four goals respectively, as their side ran out convincing winners 15.17 (107) to 8.6 (54). The final game for the weekend saw two sides planted to the bottom of the ladder face off, as Crib Point played host to Tyabb. The Yabbies looked the more dominant team in the first quarter, but couldn’t convert that into dominance on the scoreboard as they kicked a disappointing one goal and eight behinds. Tyabb’s inaccuracy looked to be proving their own downfall, as Crib Point stayed in touch and went into half time with a one point lead despite having fewer scoring shots. Tyabb fought hard in the second half, but were almost made to pay for their earlier inaccuracy. It wasn’t easy, but the Yabbies eventually claimed the win over Crib Point 6.11 (47) to 8.16 (64).

Skelly returns to Strikers, Johnston too SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie JAMIE Skelly has nine games left to save Peninsula Strikers from relegation from State 2 South-East. The revolving door at Centenary Park was spinning once more after Casey Comets shot themselves in the foot by sacking Skelly as head coach last week and inadvertently giving Strikers a lifeline. Within hours of his sacking Skelly had agreed to join Strikers on the proviso that Trevor Johnston remain as president. Johnston had resigned the previous night but the chance to rescue his club’s faltering season proved too good to resist and a back flip was duly performed. Skelly became Strikers’ seventh coach in 12 months following in the footsteps of Craig Lewis, Billy Buchanan, Willie Raines, Andy O’Dell, Jamie Paterson and Lenny Greenan. Skelly had previously coached Strikers in 2012 and was unveiled as new head coach last Tuesday and a player exodus from Comets was evident with Alex van Heerwarden, George Whiteoak, John Prescott and Liam Ryan joining Strikers with more players expected to arrive from Comets Stadium this week. Skelly also lured his Comets assistant and former Strikers player Joe Donaghy to Centenary Park as well as long-time friend Ben Caffrey who had been assistant playing coach at Frankston Pines. Strikers also completed the signing of goalkeeper Dylan Mery and winger Sayed Fatemi from NPL club Kingston City last week but Fatemi dislocated his shoulder at training and was sidelined last weekend. But the Skelly effect wasn’t immediate as Strikers failed to overcome fellow relegation candidate Old Scotch who came away from Centenary Park on Saturday with a precious 1-0 win. The pivotal moment in the contest came in the 11th minute when a slick counter-attack and a stunning finish caught Strikers on the hop. Jonathan Beamish on the left played the ball inside to Sam Shearer whose first-time lay-off sent Kurt Emery clear and he saw that Mery had come too far off his line and struck the ball over his head and under the bar for the winner. The extent of the Achilles injury that forced Whiteoak off at half-time will be determined this week but it forced a reshuffle with big Dave Selan who had struggled to contain Jack Branagan in the first half switching from left back and linking with van Heerwarden in defence. It wasn’t long before van Heerwarden was sent up front and although Strikers pressured Old Scotch they couldn’t find a way past visiting keeper Hugh-James Thomas, who was excellent. Thomas had smothered at the feet of Ryan Thompson in the first half but he should have been beaten in the 57th minute when Ryan blew a great chance to level by striking his shot across the keeper and just wide of the far post when well positioned. Strikers are now nine points from safety at the foot of the table with the league’s worst goal difference but Prescott is available after being suspended for the Old Scotch match and is certain to bolster Strikers’ attacking options. The scene is set for a stirring derby battle on Saturday when Strikers go to Monterey Reserve to face fellow

State 2 side Frankston Pines who lost 4-0 away to title contender Mazenod last weekend. A Lynton Pieterse double had Mazenod in control at half time and a Nick D’Angelo penalty and an Anthony Hammer strike sealed Pines’ fate. In State 1 South-East news Mornington drew 2-2 at home against Beaumaris on Saturday. Max Etheridge opened the scoring with a sweetly struck volley in the 3rd minute and doubled the lead in the 62nd minute after breaking clear onto a Sammy Orritt through ball. But two goals in the last 15 minutes gave the visitors a point, the first a stunning Zach Lemke volley in the 75th minute and the second a closerange strike from Toby Newell 10 minutes later. There were emotional scenes at Mornington training last Thursday night when veteran striker Wayne Gordon announced his departure. “It shocked everyone because they never saw it coming but I just felt that with us playing catch-up again I thought it was better for everyone concerned if I moved on to a new challenge,” Gordon said. “I could have gone to Strikers but after talking to Tony Saunders I decided to join Doveton.” Gordon, 33, was in his sixth season at Dallas Brooks Park and has not ruled out a return. In State 3 South-East news Skye United was thumped 5-0 away to title chasing Boroondara-Carey Eagles and needs to quickly arrest its mini slump if it is to have any chance of resurrecting its season.

The news from State 3 rival Seaford United was far more positive. When Matt Morris-Thomas took over as senior coach at North Seaford Reserve in late May the club had just three points and relegation seemed a formality. But under Morris-Thomas there’s been a revival and it continued with Saturday’s 3-1 home win over Collingwood City which has pushed Seaford onto nine points and given it hope. The visitors had the home side on the back foot thanks to a Pat Makris goal in the 4th minute but Jeremy Schwellinger capitalised on a defensive error in the 30th minute to level. Four minutes before the interval Dylan Waugh put Seaford ahead and good pressure by Waugh paid off in the 80th minute when Callum Richardson was at the back post for a tapin. In State 4 South news Baxter returned to the bottom of the league ladder after losing 2-1 away to Dandenong South on Saturday. An injury time winner from Ali Demiri won it for the home side after Stuart McKenzie had equalised for Baxter in the 68th minute. Meanwhile Somerville shocked title contender Chelsea with a 2-1 home win last weekend which keeps the local club’s State 5 South promotion push firmly on course. Somerville started on the front foot with player-coach Dave Greening twice forcing decent saves out of Chelsea keeper Rhys Davies. Chelsea took the lead against the run of play when a slick move in the 20th minute saw Zachary Luecke

bury his chance from a tight angle. Somerville then went close through Bjorn Kutschera and Joel Wade before Greening’s shot was cleared off the line only to fall to Louis Griffiths who made no mistake from close range in the 35th minute. The contest was settled in the 83rd minute when a fierce inswinging corner from Damien Garcia flew into the top corner despite Davies getting a hand to it. “We had a game plan today which the lads carried out superbly against a team that without question is one of the league’s best sides,” said Greening. “The character and sheer hunger we have in that changing room at the moment is first class.” Aspendale blew a two-goal lead at home to Endeavour Hills Fire in their State 5 South clash and had to settle for a 2-2 draw last weekend. Domenic Paul put the home side ahead in the 12th minute and Dan Barbour increased the lead following a corner in the 72nd minute but goals from Eid Sarwari and substitute Kirobel Begashaw in the last 15 minutes denied the home side from claiming all three points. Aspendale’s best were Paul, Alex Griffiths and Noah Berends. In NPLW news Southern United lost last Saturday’s home clash with Senior NTC 6-0 while the under-19s lost 8-1 to Junior NTC with Briana Dias scoring for Southern. The under-16s match was abandoned at half-time due to adverse weather conditions with Mini NTC leading 2-0.

By Brodie Cowburn CHELSEA Gulls have kept the pressure on first place Shepparton Gators with a victory over the Bulleen Boomers in Men’s Division One Basketball on Saturday. Travelling to East Doncaster Secondary College to take on the eight placed outfit, the Gulls went in as strong favourites for the clash. Chelsea started off the contest on the right foot, taking a five point lead into the half time break. Although the Boomers remained in touch with the Gulls, Chelsea quickly killed the game with a dominant third quarter, as they ran out victors (85) to (96). Chelsea captain Corey Standerfer had another brilliant game for the Gulls, as he bucketed a whopping 37 points, shooting at 76 percent accuracy and at 80 percent accuracy from the three point line. Matt Brasser also contributed with an impressive 22 points, which helped the Gulls get over the line. Chelsea currently sit equal on wins with Shepparton, however the Gators have the added advantage of a game in hand. At David Collings Indoor Leisure Centre, Western Port Steelers hosted Warrandyte Venom as they looked to continue their good run of form. Warrandyte came into the contest looking to present a challenge, and proved no easy task for the Steelers in the first stages of the game. The seventh placed Venom got the game underway with an impressive first quarter, as they took an 11 point lead into the first break. Despite their early domination, the Venom were quickly put on the back foot by Western Port, who bounced back and looked comfortable. An incredible third quarter in which the Steelers outscored the Venom 22 to 6 was the final nail in the coffin, as Western Port eventually claimed the win (85) to (61). The win cements the Steelers comfortably in fourth place and sets them up well for the rest of the season. It was an impressive all around team performance

tallies in the double digits. To nobody’s surprise, Dylan Travis was again the star for the Steelers, as he dropped 27 points and won an impressive 13 rebounds. Western Port will face a tough task next weekend as they take on fifth place Warrnambool Seahawks. In Men’s Division Two action, the Southern Peninsula Sharks claimed a vital over Sherbrooke Suns to keep their season alive. With just two wins separating second place from sixth place, any loss from this point on could prove a death blow for the Sharks, but they worked hard to gain a victory over the Suns. The Suns sit just above last place on the table, and the Sharks had little trouble dealing with them. Southern Peninsula went into the half time break with a commanding 21 point lead, and Sherbrooke Suns could do little to stem the flow of points. Sharks superstar Colin Voss had an unusually quiet game, but his teammates made up for it with impressive displays, with Ben James leading from the front with 25 points. Dave Smith also had a big game for the Sharks, as he won 13 rebounds in an impressive display. In Division Two Women’s Basketball, the Mornington Breakers overran the Sherbrooke Suns to stretch their run of wins to three consecutive games and steady their shaky start to the season. Last placed Sherbrooke went into the clash with just one win to their name, but looked competitive in the first quarter. Mornington were shocked to go into the first break one point down, and responded brilliantly with a stunning second quarter in which they outscored the Suns 27-11. Although the Suns continued to fight, the damage had already been done, and the Breakers ran out with a comprehensive (67) to (77) win. Ashleigh Wright again top scored for Mornington with 22 points, while Erin Ludwick was also impressive with 21 points of her own.
