Monitor’s stay extended Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council’s municipal monitor is set for an extended stay. The state government appointed monitor Prue Digby to investigate and prepare a report on Frankston Council in December of 2017, with her tenure due to end in June this year. In the wake of former council CEO Dennis Hovenden’s resignation, Ms Digby
has had her stay extended until the appointment of a new permanent CEO. Questions from The Times about the monitor’s stay were directed to the department of environment, land, water and planning. A statement from the department read that “the current municipal monitor to Frankston City Council, Prue Digby, will continue as monitor to the council. From 1 July her terms of reference will be to monitor, advise and assist the council in relation to its actions and processes concerning to
the recruitment and appointment of a permanent chief executive officer to fill the position caused by the recent resignation of Dennis Hovenden.” “The monitor’s appointment will conclude when the new CEO has commenced their role at the council. The CEO performs an integral role in providing support and advice to the council about its role, obligations and strategic direction, as well as delivering council services. It is important that the council undertakes its hiring
processes for the new CEO appropriately,” the statement said. Frankston Council mayor Michael O’Reilly told The Times last week that by April of this year, the monitor had cost ratepayers close to $94,000. He also said that the monitor has no requirements to submit her report to council upon the conclusion of her tenure. “It’s evident that since Prue was appointed, council meetings have been running more efficiently and effective-
ly, and that the number of notices of motion have reduced. This is largely due to councillors now working alongside officers to investigate their merit and viability prior to submitting,” Cr O’Reilly said. There are currently municipal monitors at South Gippsland Shire Council, Frankston City Council, Greater Geelong City Council and Ararat Rural City Council. The South Gippsland Shire Council was sacked by the state government last month.

Interim CEO appointed He takes over from outgoing CEO Dennis Hovenden, whose last official day was on June 30. Mr Hovenden was due to finish a four year contract in October. He first arrived at council in 2012 after departing a position as CEO of Swan Hill Rural City Council. When asked why he was resigning early, Mr Hovenden last week only provided a short statement to The Times that read “I have enjoyed working with council and the staff over the past seven years. I now look forward to taking a break with my family and wish Frankston City Council every success for the future.” The mayor Michael O’Reilly confirmed that Mr Hovenden would “receive all his statutory entitlements”.”

CARRUM LEVEL CROSSING REMOVAL PROJECT
Climate change puts coast at risk Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au EROSION is expected to put coastal areas in Frankston and Mordialloc at risk by 2040, according to a Victorian Environmental Assessment Council report. The report, released last month, states that the Port Phillip Bay from Seaford to Mordialloc is among the “areas most vulnerable to inundation by 2040 with a 20 centimetre sea level rise from a baseline set in 2009.” Climate change factors such as “reductions in winter and spring rainfall combined with an increase in downpour intensity and frequency, warmer temperatures with an increase in mean air temperature, and increased wind speeds” are listed in the VEAC report as having an impact. The report reads that “increasing sea levels and storm intensities will intensify coastal hazards such as coastal flooding, storm erosion and long-term shoreline recession. Sea level rise will lead to more frequent inundation of low lying areas, loss of coastal habitat, cliff, beach and foreshore erosion.” “Due to changes in wave and wind direction, there may be a realignment of the coastline in some areas. The predictions indicate the intensity of storms is likely to increase, leading to greater erosion. Less is known about the likely changes to wind direction and corresponding

wave direction. However, if changes do occur this will lead to coastal realignment,” it is stated in the report. The VEAC report also identified Mordialloc and Kananook creeks as being at risk of being affected by “toxicants such as metals and organochlorine pesticides”, with increased levels being found in those two bod-
ies of water. The VEAC Assessment of the Values of Victoria’s Marine Environment report was submitted to the state’s energy, environment, and climate change minister Lily D’Ambrosio on 21 May. The minister requested an assessment in March 2018. The VEAC stated that the purpose
of the report was to “identify current environmental, economic, social and cultural values of Victoria’s marine environment, including their spatial distribution where relevant, identify current and likely future threats to these values, provide independent advice on future patterns, trends and direction related to existing and
emerging uses, determine a process to systematically classify data and an approach to describe social economic values and uses of Victoria’s marine waters” and “provide an inventory of available knowledge and data on existing values, uses and threats and advise on any significant gaps.”

Sampling street food VEGETABLE planter boxes have sprouted up in the Frankston Library forecourt, with residents encouraged to sample the fresh produce on offer. The mayor Michael O’Reilly said “the new vegetable planter boxes are an awesome addition to the city centre. I encourage community members to help maintain the planters, alongside our custodians, by watering, weeding and enjoying samples of the fresh produce while you’re in town.” “The project is a part of council’s love where you live initiative, which sees community members lead projects in suburbs all around Frankston City. The love where you live projects encourage and build community connections and local pride. This grassroots project brings colour and connection to our streets,” he said. “This is just one of the projects underway with the assistance of dedicated volunteers who built
and decorated the boxes. Residents and visitors will be able to enjoy some fresh produce and we hope the community will appreciate and help look after the boxes, while sharing the produce that’s grown.” Artist Daria Bryers is a member of the working group and worked on the artwork which covers the boxes. “We really wanted to get the local Frankston youth involved, so they have a sense of ownership and pride in these beautiful planter boxes,” she said. “You’ll find the first of the planters in Wells Street and in the Frankston Library forecourt, near Frankston Youth Services. Look out for more boxes arriving soon in Heatherhill Road, Nairm Marr Djambana, and Frankston High School.”

Budget passed but Bay Trail ‘blowout’ blasted KINGSTON Council passed their 2019/2020 budget at last week’s council meeting, but not before it kicked off another debate about the Bay Trail. Cr Tamsin Bearlsey said “I’m very uncomfortable with this budget.” “I’m really concerned about how this budget is misleading about the actual cost of the Bay Trail. It mentions a figure that the Bay Trail is to cost
$4.4 million, but at the last council meeting we just awarded a $5.4 million contract,” she said. “A project that was supposed to cost in its entirety $2.7 million in 2017 has blown out to over $8 million, that needs to be stated boldly. “This current budget is a Bay Trail rate rise budget. We are increasing amount raised from general rates by $5 million, and that is basically the blowout of the Bay Trail.”

NEWS DESK Police patrol
with Brodie Cowburn
Taxi driver attacked AN attempted armed robbery and stabbing of a taxi driver in Carrum Downs is under investigation. Police are looking into the incident, which took place at around 2pm, Friday 21 June. Police believe that a taxi collected a man from Greens Road, South Dandenong, at around 1.40pm, and arrived at a house on Balmain Drive, Carrum Downs at around 2pm. It is then believed that the offender presented a knife and demanded that the victim hand over cash. The taxi driver was stabbed numerous times in his arm after a short scuffle. The 38-year-old victim from Eumerring was taken to hospital
and has since been released. Frankston Embona taskforce detectives have released images of a man they wish to speak to. The alleged offender was last seen running towards Shearwater Drive shortly after the incident. Anyone who witnessed the incident or with further information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic. com.au POLICE have released images of a man they are looking for after the stabbing of a taxi driver.
Search for car thieves TWO women are on the run after thefts in Frankston in June. Frankston Crime Investigation Unit detectives believe that a handbag was stolen from the change rooms of a Cranbourne Road pool at around 9.50am, 16 June. CCTV captured the two women leaving the centre in a silver Honda sedan, driven by an accomplice. The offender used a key from the stolen handbag to break into a light blue 2012 Volkswagen sedan, registration number ZDD 273. The Volkswagen was stolen, and police have not yet located it. The Honda, also believed to be stolen, was found in Melton on 18 June. Frankston CIU Detectives have released images of two women who they believe “may be able to assist
with their enquiries.” Police have also released an image of a vehicle similar to the outstanding stolen Volkswagen.
On run: Police are looking for two women in relation to a car theft. The stolen Volkswagen is also still outstanding. Pictures: Supplied

Kingston Council structure review THE Victorian Electoral Commission have begun a review into the structure of Kingston Council. The electoral representation review will determine whether Kingston Council has an appropriate number of councillors, and whether it should remain subdivided into wards. If it is determined that council should remain split into wards, the number of wards and how many councillors per ward will also be reviewed. Kingston Council currently has nine councillors split into three wards. Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately said that reviews into council structures are generally required every 12 years. The last review of Kingston Council by the VEC was in 2007. “The opportunity to have your say doesn’t come around too often, so it’s important to have a broad range of community members contributing to the shape of their local democracy,” Mr Gately said. “If you are interested in the future electoral structure of your local area, I encourage you to get involved. Public submissions are a vital part of the review process, providing valuable local knowledge and perspectives.” A public information session will be held at 6pm on Thursday, 20 June at the council chambers in Cheltenham. The VEC will release its preliminary report on 14 August. Changes to the electoral structure of Kingston Council will not apply until the next general election in 2020.
Talks highlight road trauma message THE impact of road trauma – on yourself and others, will be one of the topics covered at road trauma presentations to thousands of students at Peninsula Community Theatre in two sessions: 24 and 25 June and 22 and 23 July. Other topics at the talks put on by Teenagers Road Accident Group (TRAG) include the aspects of life that can be affected by road trauma; safe driving practices and decision making, and a focus on making good choices with the message Drive4Life. About 3000 secondary school students from around the Mornington Peninsula will attend the presentations, in Wilsons Road, over the four days. TRAG presenters include emergency service personnel such as Victoria Police, CFA, Ambulance Victoria, SES, as well as victims of road trauma and family members who have lost loved ones through road trauma. All TRAG presenters volunteer their time and their personal stories in the hope of reducing the number of young people killed or injured through road trauma in our community. The sessions are offered free to all schools with all costs covered by community donations. They target Year 11 and 12 students and are designed to promote road safe-
ty and to end preventable road trauma for the next generation of young drivers. Project manager Jonelle Colabufalo said TRAG members knew firsthand how crucial their message was to young drivers. “They believe that if it saves just one life of a student who attends, it will have been worth it,” she said. Frankston SES’s Priscilla Grimme has been a volunteer road rescue specialist for 24 years. “The presenters tell their story of how road trauma not only affects them personally but also the devastating loss to families and friends who are impacted by our youth being killed on our roads,” she said. “I have no doubt that the presentations by TRAG volunteers to teenagers on the Mornington Peninsula are making a difference by saving lives on our roads.” Project manager Colabufalo said parents with senior school students should be asking if their school is attending TRAG’s presentations. “If not, please ask the school why not? If you would like to bring them along anyway, please get in contact directly with TRAG.” Details: Call project manager Jonelle Colabufalo on 0481 308 724 or visit trag.org.au

Scouts build barrier to ‘save’ beach Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au THREATS to a scout hall caused by waves at Canadian Bay, Mt Eliza have been overcome with a beach protection barrier designed by engineer, John Scholes. The building, previously occupied by sea scouts and since taken over by the Baden Powell Park Scout Group, was in danger of being undermined when waves eroded the sand dune in was sitting on. Mr Scholes, “a civil engineer, not a hydraulics man”, saw the danger erosion was causing to the hall in 2009. His solution was to design a sandfilled wooden beach protection barrier that is being credited with stabilising the beach and saving a coastal Banksia tree believed to be at least 120 years old. A 14.4 metre long trial of the wave barriers proved so successful that the scout group has now extended it to 43 metres. The barriers designed by Mr Scholes followed efforts to protect the eroding sand dune with sand filled geotextile “pillows”, which were eventually swept aside by waves. In 2015, he designed a wooden ramp to deflect wave energy. A long-time surf fisherman, Mr Scholes said he had seen wave energy quickly diminish along steep sandy beaches. The treated pine boards of which his beach protection barriers are made are fixed to 2.4 metre triangular frames. The timber wall sections are

lined with geotextile and filled with beach sand. “Sloping ribbed capping exhausts wave energy, by lifting and backspinning the wave,” he said. “The sand behind these walls is trapped by the geotextile and capping, and gives the wall its mass and strength. The area above the wall was then filled with sand and carefully planted using site indigenous [plant] species grown on site [with a Depart-
ment of Environment, Land, Water and Planning permit.” Making the barriers was organised as a “hands-on” skills development project for scouts using materials costing about $90 a lineal metre by venturer scouts leader, Tony Gustus. Mr Scholes said the project involved scouts from Baden Powell Park Scout Group, the Friends of Williams Road Beach, Mt Eliza Association for Environmental Care and Mornington
Peninsula Shire. The Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation and the DELWP helped gain approvals and permits. Although only completely finished in autumn, Mr Scholes said the first barrier survived “recent winters [without] any physical damage or movement of the structure, nor has there been any scouring of the sand behind the structure”. “While the sand on the beach comes
and goes according to season, the overall effect has been an accretion of sand against the structure, with the beach becoming steeper,” he said. “In places, much of the structure has become buried. It is hoped that in time the structure may become part of a newly formed primary dune.” The 30 degree sloping structure was also being used “as impromptu seating” with people also “respecting” vegetation above the wall”.
Postcode pointer to school success Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au NEW research shows the postcode you’re born in can radically impact your whole future. That’s the finding of research conducted by Teach For Australia which shows that, even before starting school, children from low socioeconomic backgrounds are much more likely to be developmentally unready compared to their higher socioeconomic peers. The not-for-profit organisation says it seeks to improve the educational outcomes for all children by “rigor-
ously recruiting Australia’s top talent and training them to be exceptional teachers and leaders in schools and communities with the highest need”. The results of the research show a mix of good and bad outcomes for schools on the Mornington Peninsula. Mornington rates as disadvantaged when it comes to educational opportunities, coming in a 386th out of 667 areas, while Mt Eliza rates among the most advantaged at 151st. Dromana and Rosebud rate as disadvantaged (369th and 467th) while Sorrento rates as most advantaged at 86th. Red Hill South and Balnarring rate most advantaged at 25th and 39th
while Hastings at 597th and Somerville at 416th rate most disadvantaged. Teach For Australia last week launched an interactive postcode search tool that delves into the levels of educational possibilities in postcodes Australia-wide. “The tool showed clearly that many experience strong educational outcomes. However, complex educational disadvantage is experienced by a small but persistent number of locations,” CEO Melodie Potts Rosevear said. “We know that by age 15 children from the lowest socioeconomic households are, on average, almost
three years behind in school than children from the highest socioeconomic households. “There’s no excuse for an unequal education system. Research shows a school in a rural community offers half as many academic subjects as schools in metropolitan areas. “The postcode study was compiled using a number of indicators of educational disadvantage, including readiness for schooling, qualifications post-schooling, NAPLAN performance and school leavers before the age of 15. “Together with Jesuit Social Services and with the help of data from the Dropping off the Edge (DOTE)
report, we have mapped out the levels of educational outcomes throughout Australia to give a greater perspective on the need to ensure that all children achieve their potential.” Ms Potts Rosevear said the 10-yearold organisation had placed about 830 teachers in schools across Australia, impacting on the performance of more than 230,000 students. “We believe in an Australia where all children, regardless of background, attain an excellent education,” she said. “A postcode shouldn’t define a child’s future, but a great teacher can.” Details: teachforaustralia.org.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Settled out of court - Olsen V. Ritchie Compiled by Cameron McCullough WHEN this case was called on at the Frankston Court on Monday counsel immediately intimated that a settlement had been effected. Mr. Knight, P.M., and Messrs C. G. V. Williams, Jas. Grice, C. Grant and W. J. Oated, J’s.P., occupied the Bench. Mr McFarlane appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Utber and Mr Maxwell represented defendant. Mr McFarlane addressing the Bench said the parties had talked over the position and a settlement had been arranged to withdraw complaint subject to the approval of the Court. It was alleged that defendant had made a number of accusations against Olsen and his son, imputing disloyalty in the case of Olsen senr., and reflecting on Olson jnr. because of his failure to enlist. Defendant was now prepared to express regret for what has taken place, and to admit that any such accusations were without foundation. Counsel stated that Olsen senr. had brothers who fought in the South African war and it could be proved that he had not a drop of German blood in his veins. As to Olsen junr. he was medically unfit for active service, and always had been, and, as a fact, had been rejected by the Senior Cadets owing to his physical condition, as defendant would admit, and was prepared to unreservedly withdraw anything he had said to the contrary. Defendant for the physical injury he had caused Olsen senr., by striking him, had agreed to pay £30 and £10 10s costs. Mr Maxwell, for defendant, endorsed
the terms of settlement as outlined by Mr McFarlane. The defendant regretted exceedingly the whole occurrence, and was now only desirous of doing the fair thing, Defendant would pay the assessed damages, as stated. In conclusion counsel expressed the hope that now peace was signed, all would make a new departure, and that people who had had differences arising out of the war, would make a fresh start. The Bench consented to the withdrawal. Another charge against the defendant, arising out of the same concurrence, involved the breaking of windows on the premises of the Peninsula Motor Garage Co. Mr W. S. Cook appeared for the Police, in this instance and consented to a withdrawal on defendant paying the cost of the damage £6 1s and on two other charges fines were recorded, against the defendant. *** PEACE! United Thanksgiving Service on Sunday (to-morrow.) Peace Celebrations Committee meet to-night, (Saturday) at 8. See ad. *** AN event that will probably prove an attraction to lovers of the spectacular is announced to take place in the Frankston Mechanics Hall, on Saturday (to night) under the auspices of the Returned Soldiers Association. The event is advertised as “Crowning of the ugly man,” and the man of the hour will be Mr Mark Brody, the winner of the recent competition held in connection with the Anzac Appeal. The “King” it is stated, will be magnificently robed for the occasion, and
he will be presented with a certificate which is being specially designed. A dance is to be held during the evening. *** Frankston School Committee The monthly meeting of the school committee was held at Frankston on Tuesday evening, when, there were present: Cr W. J.. Oates (chairman), Mark Brody (Correspondent), and Messrs Nicholson, H. Mc Comb, C. Johns L. Ward, and W. C. Young. The head teacher (Mr Jennings) reported that two officers from the Public Works Department had visited the school on the previous day, and it was likely that certain alterations to verandas and window screens would be effected. It was also likely that the department would undertake the erection of the bell. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr Gardiner for his offer to construct a ladder in connection with the boys gymnasium. Other suggested additions to the playground were discussed, and with the question of providing an Honor Roll, were held over pending further particulars. The head teacher stated that the Frankston School was well ahead of other schools in its class in the matter of collection for the Repatriation Fund. The committee decided to pay a visit to the school on Thursday next at 4 o’clock. *** DURING the week Cr W. J. Thwaites, J.P., Mayor of Queenscliffe, has been visiting this portion of the Flinders Electorate, in the interests of the Na-
tional Federation. As one of the organisers, he is specially concerned in the matter of enthusing new life into local branches, and as a whisper is heard that a dissolution of Parliament is looming in the near future, all friends of the organisation are expected to rally to the Standard. Mr Thwaites is well pleased with his reception at both Frankston and Somerville and where he was successful in enrolling many new members. On Friday he will open a branch of the Federation at Flinders, and on Wednesday the 9th inst he will attend a branch meeting at Frankston, in the hall, when it is hoped all members and intending members will attend. The business is election of officers for the year and other important business. *** TODAY (Saturday), at 2.15 p.m, a special train will leave Frankston for Mornington, returning at 5.30, after the football match between the Frankston and Mornington teams. Return tickets are being sold at 2s 6d, children half price. *** REV E. Tonkin will give a lantern talk on “Across America” in the local Methodist Church, on Tuesday evening next. The pictures include views of New York, Niagara Falls, and North American Indians. Mr Alison-Norris F. R. G. S. will assist. There will be musical items and refreshments. The admission will be a shilling, children half price. Proceeds to be devoted to the Trust Fund, *** A WELCOME home social will be
held in the Mechanics’ Hall’ on Friday evening July 11th, to welcome, home a number of our local boys recently returned from active service. (See advt. ) *** PROFOUND regret was expressed throughout the district on Wednesday last when it became known that Mr George Darcy had passed away. He was a member of the A.I.F. and since returning from the Front had been in very indifferent health, being specially affected by heart trouble. Deceased was a great favorite and his demise came as a great shock to his numerous friends. On returning from the war the late Mr Darcey married Miss Florrie McSweeney, of Frankston and sincere sympathy is felt for the widow and her little son. Deceased was one of five sons to enlist. He was the son of the late Mr James Darcy of Lauriston and Kyneton and his mother is still living in Frankston. The funeral took place on Thursday and was very largely attended. The cortège on reaching the railway bridge passed through two long lines of school children. The service at the grave was conducted by the Rev E. Tonkin and the impressiveness of the occasion was increased with the sounding of the Last Post. The beautiful wreaths were forwarded, including wreaths from the Frankston Branch of the Returned Soldiers’ Association, “Wattle” Club and the School children. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 July 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
There’s no business like snow business By Stuart McCullough GO if you must. Pack your four-wheel drive and head on up to the high country. Take the weekend. Heck, take the entire week if it makes you happy. Load up your boots, goggles, gloves and poles and do your absolute worst. But don’t tell me anything about it because I don’t want to hear. I’ve never liked the snow. Of course I’ve been, once or twice. When I was a kid. And they were some of the most unpleasant experiences of my entire life. Even now, some thirty years later, the very mention of ‘the snow’ sends an involuntary shiver down my spine and makes me reach for the nearest blanket. That’s because when we went to the snow, we didn’t bother with fancy-pants equipment that was designed to keep you either safe or warm or both; we improvised. I can kind of see where my parents were coming from – why waste money of fancy snow gear that may only ever get used once? Alternatively, they were themselves so unfamiliar with the concept of snow that they refused to believe it could be all that bad. At best, this was an act of unfounded optimism, right up there with the time Burke and Wills decided that taking an extra bottle of Mount Franklin would be overkill. At worst, it was an action imbued with the recklessness that infected in the 1980s; resulting in gigantic shoulder pads, Huey Lewis and the News and a spectacular stock market crash. We headed to the mountains in that most sturdy of all terrain vehicles – the Nissan E-20. Just as a Land Cruiser might be fairly compared to the nimble mountain goat, the Nissan E-20 was more a 2am drunk staggering home before attempting to crawl into a post box, having mistaken it for a taxi. I don’t think we asked for chains, having decided to use our wits to overcome both the elements, if not gravity itself. My siblings and I were lumped into the back, dressed in our parkas and gumboots, ready for
PAGE 18
Frankston Times 2 July 2019
anything the mountain cared to throw our way. A quiet word about gumboots: they’re not that great for the snow. This is largely because there’s plenty of room at the top of the boot to let in snow that then turns your foot into a gigantic ice cube. Luckily, my parents were prepared to improvise. Even in the pre-MacGyver age, they were willing to take ordinary household products and attempt the extraordinary. In this case, elastic bands were used in an attempt to seal the top of the boot. It failed miserably. Before we had so much as exited the car, ice filled our gumboots. The resulting chill was unlike anything we’d experienced before. We
were familiar with rain and mud and general discomfort, but this was something else altogether. These were conditions hostile to human existence. Our parkas offered little resistance to the mountain winds as we stepped onto the snowfields. I recall that remaining upright was a particular challenge. Gumboots seldom render you fleet of foot. Soon, we were slipping over, giving us the ideal chance to observe this mysterious white substance up close. Our tracksuit pants had a remarkably sponge-like quality, able to absorb large quantities of icy water. It was impossible to escape. Even traditionally fail-safe
precautions – wearing football socks rather than regular socks – failed to keep hyperthermia at a distance. Our gloves were made of wool and were not ‘water resistant’ so much as ‘water surrendering’. We were freezing. The whole event was less like a family excursion and more the kind of test of human endurance that even Bear Grylls would call in sick to avoid. Beyond our vastly inadequate clothing, there was the spectacularly unsafe equipment. We watched as some families came tearing down the slope while sitting in a garbage bag. We, on the other hand, had a tiny fiberglass toboggan that you might expect to pick up on the nature strip during your local hard rubbish night. It was built neither for comfort nor speed and was extremely difficult to sit in. It was more like an oversized shoehorn. Somehow, in my icy cold tracksuit pants, water logged socks, defenceless parka and gumboots; I managed to sit inside the toboggan. Soon, I was hurtling down the side of the mountain at a spectacular rate of knots (or so it seemed) before my journey ended as I slid into a pond. Which, predictably, was both very, very wet and very, very icy. As I sat, sinking into the frozen abyss, I looked back and saw that I had travelled about six metres in total. It seemed the ideal time to retire. I like the way people say that they’re going to ‘the snow’, in much the same way as they tell you they’re going to ‘the shops’. But as for me, I haven’t returned to the snow since that fateful trip. Snow reports on the nightly news during the winter months mean nothing to me. I am unmoved. Uninterested. And, most importantly, warm. To this day, the toboggan hangs from the roof of my father’s shed. By my estimation, it’s been there for the past thirty years, waiting for a chance to redeem itself that will never come. It can stay there for thirty more. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Bulldogs shock Stonecats DIVISION ONE
By Brodie Cowburn MORNINGTON have secured their second win for the year in a shock result against Frankston YCW. The Bulldogs got off on the right foot with an excellent first term. They went into the first break with a 17 point lead. Frankston YCW struggled badly all afternoon, and were not able to claw their way back into the contest. They scored 0.6 across the second and third quarters of the match. A three goals to zero final quarter saw the gap between the two sides close, but the Stonecats were too far
behind to catch up. The final score read Frankston YCW 5.13 (43) to Mornington 9.4 (58). Matthew Caine proved the difference on the day, kicking five goals on his first game for the year. At the top end of the table, Pines claimed another win to continue their excellent year, They scored a victory over Edithvale-Aspendale at Regents Park. Both sides traded blows in a tight first half, with Pines heading into the half time break up by a point. After the main break the Pythons put their foot on the gas and established a buffer. Pines had to work for it, but they
eventually claimed the win 9.15 (69) to 12.13 (85). Shayne Allan worked hard for EdiAsp and kicked four goals. Luke Potts was named as Pines’ best. At Emil Madsen Reserve, Mt Eliza played host to Sorrento. The Sharks have enjoyed a good year and look among the premiership favourites. They proved that with an impressive five goals to one first term against the Redlegs. With a tough task ahead of them, Mt Eliza did well to stay in touch. They kept Sorrento goalless in the second quarter. After half time the Sharks ran away
with it. A five goals to one third term put the game beyond doubt. Sorrento ended up running away with a 22 point win 6.14 (50) to 10.12 (72). Captain-coach Luke Tapscott was best on ground, scoring four goals. Dromana got back on the winner’s board on Saturday in a low scoring scrap with the Frankston Bombers. Dromana looked to be in trouble early on, and were held to just one behind in the first term. They bounced back in the second, and went into half time five points up. In the second half the Bombers struggled, and couldn’t get the lead
back. They ended up losing to Dromana 4.4 (28) to 7.7 (49). Rosebud hosted Bonbeach at Olympic Park in what would turn out to be a miserable afternoon for Bonbeach. The Sharks were woeful in front of goal, and at the three-quarter time break had failed to register a goal on the scoreboard. They had scored eight behinds without kicking a major. In the final quarter they finally scored a goal but it was little consolation. Bonbeach lost to Rosebud 7.11 (53) to 1.10 (16). Sean Downie kicked two goals, and was named as Rosebud’s best.
Blues fall short against Hillmen DIVISION TWO
By Brodie Cowburn HASTINGS have battled hard, but failed to defeat Red Hill at Thomas Barclay Oval on Saturday. The Hillmen have been near impossible to beat in 2019, but Hastings signalled their intent with a good first half. The Blues led at both quarter time and half time, but only by a goal. The Hillmen, who have been by far the best defensive side in the competition, held Hastings scoreless in the third quarter to get back into the contest. Hastings could only put one goal on the board in the final term, and eventually succumbed to defat.

Frankston Times 2 July 2019
The final score was Hastings 6.5 (41) to Red Hill 7.10 (52). Daniel Mcnamara was the Hillmen’s best, kicking four goals. Karingal prevailed against Somerville on Saturday, despite performing badly in front of goal. Karingal had the bulk of the scoring opportunities, but failed to capitalise throughout the afternoon. Karingal had 25 scoring shots for the afternoon, while Somerville had just 12. Despite the discrepancy, both sides scored 8 goals for the game. The Bulls got away with their poor goalkicking, and took the win 8.17 (65) to 8.4 (52). At RJ Rowley Reserve, Rye grinded
out a tough win at home against Devon Meadows. Devon Meadows started poorly and kicked just one behind in the first term, but bounced back to claim the lead by half time. Rye wrestled back control in the third term, and held a slim six point lead heading into the final quarter. They held on to get the win 7.12 (54) to 6.11 (47). Crib Point had a rough day at home against Chelsea, letting themselves down with poor kicking in front of goal. The Magpies, who have struggled throughout the year, had their share of opportunities in front of goal but failed
to make them count. They ended up with just two goals for the afternoon. Chelsea looked much the better side, and did what they needed to do to get the job done. Curtis Bywater was in good form, kicking four. The final scoreboard made for uncomfortable reading for Magpies fans. Chelsea claimed the win 2.12 (24) to 12.12 (84). Langwarrin had a better day at home, overcoming a half time deficit to defeat Tyabb. The Yabbies had a massive second quarter, kicking five goals to give them an eight point lead heading into the second half. Despite the positive signs, they were run over in the sec-
ond half. Langwarrin pushed ahead and claimed all four points with a 13.15 (93) to 11.6 (72) win. Blake Peach and Zach Andrewartha were among the best afield. Seaford travelled to Pearcedale, and had absolutely no trouble putting the home side away. The Tigers did the bulk of the damage in the third quarter, when they smashed Pearcedale with an eight goals to zero term. The final score read Pearcedale 6.3 (39) to Seaford 17.16 (118). Aaron Walton was best on ground, booting six goals for the victorious Seaford side.

From Sacramento to Southern SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie SOUTHERN United just beat last week’s transfer deadline to register two clutch signings in US attacking midfielder Jennifer Lum and teenage holding midfielder Niamh McLure. The transfer window closed at 10am on Thursday and Southern playercoach Melissa Maizels was racing the clock for the club to register her two signings while waiting on news from another two targets. “I spoke to around eight players and was hoping to bring in four but I’m happy with the business we’ve done,” Maizels said. “This is a statement of intent from Southern and it lets people know that this club has big plans for next season.” Maizels had been contacted by an overseas-based player agent a couple of years ago trying to get her to play in the US and a recent contact with that agent led to the signing of Californiabased Lum, 24, who has an impressive scoring record. Southern secured private sponsorship for Lum and is hopeful that she can arrive in time to face South Melbourne on Saturday. The club expects visa approval and flights to be organised shortly. Lum played with Boca 92 juniors and Placer United and at university level with Sacramento State. She has won representative honours and multiple MVP awards. McLure is a former Southern and NTC player and the teenager returns to Monterey Reserve from Box Hill United. She was set to make her debut in Sunday’s away clash with Heidelberg United but the wild weekend weather made the Olympic Village pitch unplayable and all of Southern’s matches (senior and underage) were postponed. In NPL2 news Langwarrin had Scottish import John Baird to thank as he hit the mark twice on debut in the local club’s 2-1 home win over North Geelong last Saturday. The visitors were flying high in the West division of the elite regionalised competition and had gone into this contest just two points behind league leader Werribee City. However they were missing four players from their usual starting 11 including leading scorer Darius Madison. In difficult weather conditions Langy failed to hit the target in the first half while North Geelong couldn’t find a way past home team keeper Fraser

MacLaren. It was a different matter in the second half and just two minutes in an unmarked Baird stole in at the back post for a simple sidefoot volley following a Jordan Templin corner swung over from the left. In the 64th minute Lachie McGrath slid in and levelled from close range following a Morgan Filer shot from the left of the area. But Baird wasn’t done yet and when big Anthony Banovac clattered into Langy target man Max Etheridge in the 70th minute the referee pointed to the spot and the Scot converted. The importance of the win was evident from the reaction of the Langy bench when the final whistle blew and players and coaching staff were still congratulating each other as they walked off to applause from local fans. In State 1 news Doveton’s season continued to unravel when it was comfortably beaten 4-2 by Mornington at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday. Kyrom Kerr, 17, made his senior debut for Mornington and drew praise from head coach Adam Jamieson. “We played Kyrom in centre midfield and took him off with about 15 to go,” Jamieson said. “He had a really good game and he’s a very talented kid.” The contest was put out of Doveton’s reach in the first half. Josh Hine opened the scoring when

he chested down a ball over the top and hammered it home from an angle inside the box. Two Sammy Orritt goals, the second when he ghosted in to strike a Craig Smart free-kick, sent the home side into the changerooms at the interval with a 3-0 lead. Orritt completed his hat-trick in the second period when he scored from the spot. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers had a fine 3-1 away win over Berwick City last weekend and are back in the promotion hunt. Strikers are among a bunching field of runner-up aspirants behind tearaway league leader Boroondara-Carey Eagles. An early Paul McEvoy goal put Berwick City ahead but two Alpha Turay goals in two minutes, both from John Prescott assists, turned this contest around and Antun Vulic’s strike from just outside the area in first-half injury time settled the issue. In State 3 news Skye United pulled off the great escape coming from 2-0 down at half-time to beat Brighton 4-3 in a nerve-jangling contest at Skye Recreation Reserve on Saturday. A great long strike from David Nicholas on the half-hour and a Sean Mulcahy header in the 40th minute had the visitors in control. Nicholas hit the underside of the bar early in the second half but in the 52nd
minute Skye substitute Maxim Avram applied enough pressure following a Mark O’Connor free-kick and the ball was bundled over the line to make it 2-1. Two minutes later Mitch Blake scored following up an Avram strike and although the assistant referee had his flag raised the goal eventually was given. Skye substitute Mikey Turner came on in the 75th minute and three minutes later his looping volley put Skye ahead for the first time. But a mixup at the back in the 83rd minute allowed Nicholas to break into a one-on-one with Skye custodian Jonathan Crook and the Brighton striker made no mistake to make it 3-3. However, there was one last twist to the tale as Blake was brought down in the box in the 94th minute and up stepped Daniel Walsh who is yet to miss from the spot this season and he buried the winner for Skye’s ninth win in 10 games. Frankston Pines lost 2-0 away to Bayside Argonauts on Saturday. Nothing can take away from a poor Pines’ performance but the club was bitterly disappointed with a series of refereeing decisions. In State 4 news Dandenong South defeated Baxter 3-2 at Tatterson Park last weekend while Seaford United’s away clash with Rowville Eagles was washed out.

ROUND 15
Baxter’s goals came from Lawrence Komba and substitute Abdull Darmanii but Dandenong grabbed the winner in the 87th minute. Central defensive pairing Izaak Barr and Matt McDermott could return from injury for Baxter’s home match on Saturday against Rowville Eagles. In State 5 news a Kieran Hughes hat-trick spearheaded Aspendale Stingrays’ thumping 7-0 home win over Pakenham United on Saturday. Aspendale was 5-0 up after 32 minutes and cruised throughout the second half. Other scorers were Kenan Nuhanovic (2), Ryan Mravljak and Ben Garside Weinert. In another State 5 match what should have been a celebration of a remarkable goalscoring milestone from ace striker and player-coach David Greening turned into a nightmare last weekend when Somerville lost 3-0 away to Knox United and Greening was sent off after receiving a second caution in the second half. The refereeing contributed to the stop-start nature of this contest as the match official regularly stopped play to talk to the Somerville bench. Bad light forced the match to be called off in the 79th minute but the result seems certain to stand. Greening’s send-off couldn’t have come at a worse time as he’ll miss Saturday’s clash with league leader Old Mentonians. Football Victoria will only promote the league champion this season as it undertakes a major league restructure so Somerville’s season could hinge on the outcome of this fixture. Rosebud’s away clash with Tullamarine on Saturday was washed out in both the seniors and reserves. This weekend’s games: FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Skye Utd v Ashburton Utd (Skye Recreation Reserve), Frankston Pines v Whitehorse Utd (Monterey Reserve). SATURDAY, 3pm: Langwarrin v Murray United (Lawton Park), Casey Comets v Mornington (Comets Stadium), Peninsula Strikers v Monbulk Rangers (Centenary Park), Baxter v Rowville Eagles (Baxter Park), Seaford Utd v Dingley Stars (North Seaford Reserve), Old Mentonians v Somerville Eagles (Mentone Grammar), Tullamarine v Aspendale Stingrays (Melrose Drive Reserve), Casey Panthers v Rosebud (Prospect Hill Reserve). SATURDAY, 3.30pm: South Melbourne v Southern Utd (Lakeside Stadium).
