NEPEAN HEARING

A POTENTIAL resurrection of the City Life services to help the homeless in Frankston is being discussed by Frankston Council behind closed doors. Jubilee Church pastor Mark Whitby, CEO and founder of City Life, met with Frankston Breakfast Club representatives, councillors and council officers on Monday 16 January in talks described as “very positive and constructive” by council. City Life and the breakfast club stopped dishing up meals to the homeless and disadvantaged in July last year before City Life’s leased Clyde St Mall premises, near Bayside Shopping Centre, was demolished to make way for a new apartment complex. Negotiations between City Life and the state government over alternative digs for the charity collapsed without agreement before the demolition of the Clyde St Mall building. “Having the opportunity to talk oneon-one with City Life and Breakfast Club representatives has been a great way to get the ball rolling,” Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial said in council’s statement about the meeting. “While no formal decisions were made the meeting was encouraging, with council officers instructed to undertake further investigation into the matters raised in order for all parties to reconvene in six weeks’ time. “It was important for Frankston City

Council to understand where City Life are currently placed in order to know how to best assist them and to determine what role council may have going forward.” Cr Cunial said it would be “premature” to disclose exactly what was discussed at the meeting. It is understood the council-managed Ebdale Community Hub in Ebdale St has been identified as a possible new location for City Life to resume dishing up meals. The charity continues to operate an op shop in Station St. Pastor Whitby said the organisation wants to work with council to bring its services back to Frankston. “We’re hoping we’ll be able to negotiate a space in the city and that City Life has another season,” he said. “Since we’ve been gone the need has certainly not gone away. There are definitely issues in the city with the homeless and disadvantaged.” The state government is pushing ahead with plans to help homeless people, rough sleepers and the mentally ill with temporary accommodation as part of a $3.5 million ‘Haven Home Safe’ partnership under a Rapid Housing Assistance program. Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke has also announced disability services organisation Wallara will work with charity Wintringham “to provide affordable housing, outreach services, meals production and training opportunities for people with disabilities” at Angus Martin House in Frankston.

WHAT’S NEW...

Drivers make all the difference WE often underestimate how important the ability to travel is to a person’s quality of life. For most people the ability to drive a car, catch a train or order a taxi isn’t given a second thought. But for those who experience transport disadvantage, the inability to get around may leave them feeling disempowered, isolated and unable to access basic services. That’s why Peninsula Transport Assist (PTA) was created five years ago, and helps clients from as young as 11 years of age to nearly 100. With the increase in clients and constant enquiries for more services every day, the team at PTA are looking for new volunteers to help combat the transport disadvantage on the Mornington Peninsula. Manager PTA, Clemens Unger, says volunteer drivers are needed for a number of reasons. “We want to recruit drivers for everything from taking people to doctor’s appointments to shopping and hairdressing, whatever they need,” said Mr Unger. “Peninsula Transport Assist is like sleeping beauty; we do a lot of good things but people often hear about us by accident, and a lot of word of mouth. We currently have a pool of around 60 volunteers which are people who use their own cars to drive clients to their appointments. However, we also have a small mini bus service which we need a driver for.” Currently the PTA has close to 300 clients from Portsea to Carrum Downs and receive daily enquires from people wanting to sign up for the service. “This puts a lot of pressure on our current driver pool so we are recruiting new volunteers at the moment,” said Mr Unger. “Skills our volunteers learn include safer driving techniques and minibus handling, techniques for assisting clients with varying degrees of mobility, risk management techniques, volunteer rights and responsibilities. In addition to driving, our volunteers also provide support to the clients once they reach their destination. This may include waiting for the client during appointments or attending social events with them. In this way our volunteers can act both as drivers and an alternative to paid carers.” To find out more about Peninsula Transport Assist or become a volunteer, contact the office via email peninsulatransportassist@gmail.com or phone 9708 8241. www.peninsulatransportassist.org

Transport Assist is an innovative vehicle and volunteer sharing network that pools community resources together. By enabling community organisations to drive further for cheaper, we help combat transport disadvantage throughout the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region.

Peninsula Transport Assist provides: • Volunteer assisted transport for residents to access medical appointments and other essential services • Community bus hire

• Bus drivers available

LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEER DRIVERS AND VOLUNTEER BUS DRIVERS *Reimbursement available toward car expenses, with own vehicle use.

The Network helps community organisations with their transport needs through 4 key programs:

Citizens of the Year take a bow Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au Frankston’s outstanding citizens were honoured for their commitment to others and dedication to volunteering during an Australia Day ceremony at Frankston Arts Centre. Frankston Council’s 2017 Citizen of the Year award went to husband and wife team, Reverend Angel and Pastor Ulli Roldan, who started and still runs the Life-Gate Ministry, which provides support, practical life-skills training and counselling to people in crisis. Rev Roldan said he had been working with Frankston’s most needy people for about 25 years and was surprised “but pleased” to be recognised by council. The couple moved to Frankston from Germany in 1983, and almost immediately recognised a need for support in sections of the community. Originally working as a banker in the city, Rev Roldan became involved in the ministry and founded Life-Gate in 1992 in an effort to reach those in need and “get out into the community”. “We felt that the best way to help was not to wait and expect people in need to come to ask for help, but to get out there on the streets and offer our help,” he said. For 13 years the couple managed a rehabilitation facility and led a team of volunteers to provide care and support to inmates at Victorian prisons, during which he saw first-hand the strong link between drugs and crime.

Tireless supporters: Pastor Ulli Roldan, left, and Reverend Angel Roldan, with Louise Holtzinger and Roy Giesemann, are dedicated to Frankston. Picture: Gary Sissons

He said drug addiction was a constant player in many of Frankston’s social problems, with 90 percent of drug users not willing to seek help. “In our experience, only five to ten per cent of people with drug problems will actually ask for help, the rest won’t so you have to try to get to them. “We get out in the streets and we meet so many young people with problems; many of them have addiction issues but others who have left domestic violence and other awful family situations,” he said. Rev Roldan said Life-Gate’s missions is to equip and empower individuals and families to overcome crises such as drug and alcohol ad-

dictions and other “life-controlling” problems, and ultimately reach their full potential in life. The organisation provides life skills training and other education and counselling services and has been running a successful program called ‘The Colour of Hope’ at McClelland College to re-engage students with schooling through art. He said the program was proving its worth, with many of the program participants who had previously refused to attend school, now back in the education system. A little uncomfortable with the Citizen of the Year award, Rev Roldan said he and his wife did not do any of their work for recognition, but were

pleased to be noticed. “So thank you for the award, we are blessed,” he said. Other awards on the day went to Roy Giesemann, 86, Senior Citizen of the Year, who Cr Curial said was recognised for being a “positive, active and engaging advocate” for Frankston. The long-term Frankston resident is well known for his promotion of Frankston as a caller to radio stations and letter writer to the media. His past and present memberships include Yamala Park Tennis Club, Long Island Golf Club, PARC, and the Church Choir, and he has been a volunteer at the Frankston Visitor Information Centre for ten years, as well as an organiser of tours at the South East Water building. Young Citizen of the Year, Louise Holtzinger, has been an active member of the Frankston Youth Council for about five years, whilst also overcoming various challenges in her personal and family environment. She is a spokesperson for her fellow youth councillors and has delivered speeches about her personal journey and achievements at various youth and community events and activities. She has also been a major contributor to the “Think Big” online forum. Her volunteering contributions have included marching and reading names at the Frankston Anzac Day Service in 2015, organising and planning for the Annual Frankston Stand for Change, TLC Forest Lodge Aged Care Centre, 2015 Iron-Man Asia-Pacific Championship Melbourne, McClelland Col-

lege Hands on Learning and Connect and the Youth Day for Mental Health 2016. The Community Event of the Year award went to The Voice of Frankston, a solo singing competition open to people living, studying or working in Frankston or the Mornington Peninsula. The event showcases talent at community events with the aim of increasing the sense of pride within the community. It also helps to promote the arts and creates connections to the community. In presenting the awards, Cr Cunial said he was proud to honour the “inspiring” residents who epitomised what it means to be Australian. “Reverend Angel and Pastor Ulli, together with Roy and Louise, have given so much to our community and I’m proud to recognise their selfless achievements as we honour them as our 2017 Citizens of the Year,” he said. In conjunction with the announcement of the awards, this year’s Australia Day citizenship ceremony saw 67 adults and 13 children from 22 different countries became Australian citizens. Cr Curial said the new citizens included nine families “from across the globe who have chosen to call Frankston home”. “The Frankston City community is proud and excited to welcome our new Australian citizens to our municipality and we embrace them and wish them well.”

House fire warning for coolers

Climate change ‘will affect peninsula life’

Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON and Mornington Peninsula fire officers have issued a warning to have air cooling and heating systems serviced after two house fires over the weekend of 7 until 8 January. The fires in Seaford and Carrum Downs were among five in outer metro-Melbourne that fire crews believe were related to air-conditioners or evaporative cooling system. The families were home at the time of the fires and were able to escape, but both the houses were damaged. Carrum Downs station captain Steve Rhodes said investigations were continuing, but air cooling systems were likely to be the cause in both instances. CFA state fire investigation coordinator Nicole Harvey said all air conditioners and evaporative cooling units should be serviced annually to help prevent problems that could cause an electrical fault or fire. “People should maintain their air conditioners and evaporative coolers by ensuring the dust filters and vent outlets inside the properties are cleaned regularly, along with having the units regularly serviced according to the manufacturer’s specifications,” Ms Harvey said.

“Recent hot weather across Victoria means more people are cooling their homes with systems like evaporative coolers and these incidents may have been prevented had units been checked more regularly.” Mornington CFA captain Gary Bryant said heating units should be serviced at least annually to prevent a build u of dust and dirt, which can cause problems.

Ms Harvey said people should also check the latest product safety recalls online. Victoria’s director of energy safety Paul Fearon said not many people took the time to get their units ser-

viced each year. “Regular maintenance not only allows manufacturer’s upgrades and adjustments to be made, it ensures your air conditioner or evaporative cooler will be working safely and efficiently when you need it most,” he said. See productsafety.gov.au/recalls to check evaporative cooling model safety.

MOST respondents to a Peninsula Speaks online survey believe that man-made climate change is real and that it will affect life on the Mornington Peninsula. “Although Mornington Peninsula Shire is to be congratulated on its recently announced roof top solar initiative on shire owned and operated buildings, 64 per cent of people believe that the shire should be placing more emphasis on climate change,” organiser Peter Avery said. “While support for renewable wind initiatives appears to be marginal at 58 per cent, renewable wave technology is supported by 71 per cent and an overwhelming 93 per cent would support solar initiatives.” The shire lists one of its “values” as having a “whole of government response to climate change mitigation and adaption”. It has been estimated that fitting solar panels to 34 shire-owned buildings will save $33,000 in power bills and see CO2e gas emissions cut by 268 tonnes. The first round of survey results released by Peninsula Speaks earlier this month showed that a majority of respondents felt that beaches, “country feel”, absence of high rise development, public open spaces and nature reserves topped the list when it comes to what makes the peninsula a “special” place to live. Data from the survey is being compiled by Frankston-based Market Metrics, a firm specialising in fieldwork, logistics and data analysis.

Support for ‘ice families’ Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au GROWING concern over ice-related domestic violence and child abuse in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula has led to calls for more support for families struggling with the consequences of drug abuse. Police and counsellors report that ice use is devastating families and is now the leading cause of crime and domestic violence in both areas. Detective Sergeant Detective Sergeant Paul Busuttil of Frankston CIU said ice was destroying communities, with police making weekly referrals to the Department of Human Services about children in “ice families”, and directing parents or partners to services to help them deal with the destructive behaviour of ice users. “As police, we have the psychological training and are better skilled to deal with these confronting things, but we see families who are desperate for help,” he said. He said there was a growing demand for affordable support services. Detective Sergeant John Coburn at Mornington Peninsula CIU said the peninsula was experiencing the same issues as Frankston, with the problem affecting families across all socio-economic areas. The developer of the ‘BreakThrough’ ice education program for families, Angela Ireland, said a program she ran in Rosebud last year revealed many desperate families left to deal with the destructive behaviour of a family member taking ice.

It wasn’t hearing loss, it was just earwax!

Ice insight: Angela Ireland says training can help families deal with the destructive consequences of drug use and addiction.

“I’ve seen families torn apart, scared of how to deal with it and where to turn, and often making things worse by responding in a way that escalates things,” she said. Ms Ireland said she had seen ice use disrupt all family members, including parents who are intimidated by their drug-using children, siblings who are left to deal with the dysfunction, and grandparents who are left to take over care of the grandchildren. Ms Ireland will run more programs at community centres across the peninsula in February and March in response to the demand in the region. She said the free programs are designed to help the families and friends of ice users manage their challenging behaviours and develop strategies to support those impacted by ice use. “Sometimes, in desperate situations, people will respond or do things that may not be helpful and may even inflame situations, so the training will show how best to respond when things

do take a setback,” she said. “We show family members how to remain calm in difficult situations — to understand what is happening to the brain when someone takes ice and can by psychotic or start to hallucinate.” “This drug has such a wide-reaching consequences for families, and we see people who are unprepared and unskilled to cope with the consequences of family members who use ice.” Ms Ireland said the programs, funded by the state government and presented by the Bouverie Institute, Turning Point and Self Help Addiction Resource Centre, included follow-up contact to provide ongoing support for families. There will be five BreakThrough evenings sessions for families at Sorrento (15 February), Dromana (16 February), Rye (23 February), Crib Point (1 and 8 February) and Mornington (9 March), and a one-day session at Rye for “frontline” workers.

Check before dip: EPA advising bayside beachgoers to check water quality before swimming. Pic: Gary Sissons

Water quality still a concern BEACHGOERS and swimmers are still being urged to check water quality updates before going for a dip off bayside beaches this summer amid risks of illness from bacteria and faecal matter swept into Port Phillip Bay during stormy weather. Water quality is being monitored daily by the Environment Protection Authority until March. Earlier this month EPA applied sciences group manager Dr Anthony Boxshall said there is a higher risk of illnesses such as gastro to swimmers from higher bacterial levels after flash flooding (“Poo-r water quality at bayside beaches”, The Times 9/1/17). “Heavy rain and storms can create a risk to the public as they can flood stormwater systems that then carry pollution that has built

up in drains into waterways,” Dr Boxshall said in a statement. “In certain conditions, they can be home to bacteria from faecal pollution that poses health risks to swimmers.” The EPA issues twice-daily water quality updates of good, fair and poor for Port Phillip’s 36 beaches. It is not advisable to swim at all waterways and beaches for up to 48 hours after heavy rain since there may be a higher risk of gastro and other illnesses. Water quality information is also displayed on signs at Life Saving Victoria clubs around the bay. The water quality forecasts can be seen online at epa.vic.gov.au and via twitter @EPA_Victoria or by calling 1300 372 842. Text message alerts can be signed up for at yarraandbay.vic.gov.au online.

New recruits on way to fight fires EIGHT Patterson River Fire Station recruits are among 30 graduates to become career firefighters with the Country Fire Authority. They started at the station in December and took part this month in a training program at the CFA’s Bangholme depot. Two of the recruits are Adam Lutz, 40, of Keysborough, and Samantha Grant, 46, of Langwarrin. Mr Lutz was a sheet metal worker and foreman before joining the CFA. He is a keen surfer, and loves bike riding, restoring cars and spending time with his family. “I’m looking forward to change, challenge and playing a strong role in the community,” he said. Ms Grant was formerly a secondary school teacher. She’s learning to surf, and keen to get back to being a Guide Dog puppy raiser. “I want to give back to the community in a different way to spread my wings and challenge myself with a change of career,” she said. The recruits – including a record 10 women – graduated in front of family and friends at the Victorian Emergency Management Training Centre, Craigieburn. With eight women graduating from a course on 30 November, the CFA has taken on 18 women in the past two courses – the most to graduate as CFA firefighters in the one year. They will each take up placements at one of 19 fire stations around the state, working side by side with volunteers at some of CFA’s 35 integrated brigades in outer Melbourne and regional centres. CFA recruit course coordinator Christian Thorley said the celebration “marked the end of a lot of hard work and the beginning of a challenging and diverse career for these new firefighters”. “These recruits have demonstrated impeccable diligence and commitment to becoming

Adam Lutz

firefighters throughout their training, and it was wonderful to celebrate this special day with them all,” Mr Thorley said. “The atmosphere was electric – it shows what a great group of people these new firefighters are and signals the wonderful contributions they will make in their new communities.”

Samantha Grant

The recruits will contribute towards the state government’s commitment to add 350 new firefighters to the CFA’s ranks. The recruits come from a range of backgrounds including defence, trades, technicians, health, emergency services, education and management.

Hastings will have role in hydrogen gas plans Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au A PILOT project to produce hydrogen from brown coal will require the gas to be liquefied near Hastings before being shipped to Japan. Kawasaki Heavy Industries says it will release more details of the project “in the first quarter of 2017 for consideration and consultation”. The company says it has been “exploring the opportunity” to create a hydrogen energy supply chain from Australia to Japan for more than six. During that time discussions had been held with state and federal governments, industry and research organisations. “The initiative is well known,” general manager of Kawasaki’s hydrogen development centre, Dr Eiichi Harada, said in a statement issued by consultants, GHD Australia. Mr Harada said Kawasaki “is not and has never been involved in plans to process coal at Western Port”. Flinders Liberal MP Greg Hunt, who was environment minister during the time that Kawasaki was in high level government discussions about its brown coal to liquid hydrogen project, last week repeated that he was opposed to any “reindustrialisation” of Crib Point but would not rule out a coal gasification plant at Hastings (“Secret deal for toxic plant - MP” The Times 23/1/17). Mr Hunt said he was “utterly opposed” to Western Port being used as a coal port, adding “I have made it clear that Crib Point should not be reindustrialised for hydrogen or bitumen”. However, the proposal would involve hydrogen, not coal, being exported from Hastings. Mr Hunt said he knew of discussions between the state and Kawasaki but “as far as I am aware, at this stage no decisions have been made as to the port they will use”. Acting Resources Minister Philip Dalidakis said the state government “has been working with Kawasaki Heavy Industries and the Commonwealth

on an engineering study to investigate the possible production of hydrogen from brown coal”. “This project is in the very early stages and we are keen to explore all serious investments that have the potential to create much needed jobs in the Latrobe Valley.” Hastings Liberal MP Neale Burgess last week said Kawasaki Heavy Industries has signed a “secret deal” with the state government that could lead to “long coal trains or a coal slurry pipe bringing huge amounts of coal to Hastings, building of a huge coal gasification plant at Hastings and the produced hydrogen being shipped through Western Port”. Mr Burgess’s opposition to the plant being located at Hastings or anywhere in Western Port contrasts with that of his federal Liberal colleague, Mr Hunt. “Western Port is not the appropriate place to ship coal to, whether via long coal trains, slurry pipe or any other means, or to develop a huge gasification plant for turning that coal into hydrogen.” It is understood Kawasaki is already building a ship to transport liquid hydrogen which would initially be produced at a pilot plant in the Latrobe Valley. If proved viable, a much larger plant would be built at Hastings. Environmentalists argue that the process adds to Australia’s carbon emissions while Japan gets the benefit of a much cleaner fuel. Many of Mr Burgess’s concerns are echoed by Jenny Warfe, of the Blue Wedges environmental action group. “Although representatives from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and Japan’s transport ministry signed an agreement in Canberra, the public has been kept well in the dark about the ‘initiative’. As far as I can ascertain, there has been no public consultation about Hastings and Western Port being the unlucky recipient of an industry - or at the very least the likely shipping hub - for a fuel responsible for some of the most horrendous incidents on the planet and loss of human life. Are we mad?” Ms Warfe described brown coal as “the dirtiest coal on the planet”.

Liberals being hypocritical over gas plant for Hastings The article “Secret deal for toxic plant – MP” (The Times 23/1/17) details attacks on the Andrews state government by state and federal Liberal MPs, Neale Burgess and Greg Hunt, over a “secret plan” to bring brown coal from the Latrobe Valley, to a proposed [hydrogen] gasification plant at Hastings for shipment to Japan. Their concern for Hastings and its international Ramsar environment treaty protected surrounds would be commendable, if it was not so hypocritical. Given Mr Burgess and the Liberals continue to advocate for a massive container port at Hastings, perhaps they would care to explain how 6000 container ships a year and dredging 24 million cubic metres from the seabed is a better future for Western Port than the “secret coal plant”. Expanding the port will have a devastating impact on the $2 billion a year input into the Western Port economy from tourism, recreational fishing and agriculture. I am sure Mr Burgess is aware parts of his electorate are already under threat of inundation and erosion, without the impact of faster running tides caused by dredging for the container port. Western Port is far too fragile for any kind of expanded industrial development. It was [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt as Environment Minister, who signed an agreement handing over all his federal environment powers on Western Port to then Planning Minister, Matthew Guy. That agreement restricted objections to expanding the port of Hastings. It was the Liberal’s Port of Hastings Development Authority that would not release the “incomplete” dredging studies funded out of the $110 million of government money allocated to “prove the Port”.

While I am sure a public meeting on any coal project would be welcomed, methinks these “pollies” should have by now got the “leave Western Port alone” message. All statistical and report references are available at preservewesternport.org.au/news Kevin Chambers, The Gurdies

No subsidy for hydrogen It seems yet again a multinational company is fishing for subsidies to make a buck on the back of Australian taxpayers. Kawasaki Heavy Industries is proposing and talking to our state government about a coal to hydrogen processing plant, using Latrobe Valley’s dirty brown coal. The spruikers of CCS (carbon capture and storage), are telling us that the process is safe and affordable, especially if the state and federal governments would just subsidise it. Hastings could be the lucky place where a full-scale processing plant could be located with Kawasaki’s ships picking up the liquefied hydrogen and taking it to Japan. If this energy production is so viable, without burdening Australia with an even greater carbon footprint than we have now, let Kawasaki take the risk and the consequences of something not going to plan. And make them pay a very large environmental bond to make sure the Victorian and Australian taxpayers are not left cleaning up a mess produced by yet another mining venture gone wrong. Strict environmental monitoring and guidelines would also need to be in place so the stored CO2 is not entering the atmosphere again some years down the line. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Keen combatants: Mt Eliza’s female fire fighters are Alex Chatwin-Dalgleish, Maddison Wiese, Victoria Oldjohn, Stephanie Rouse, Denise Gartland, Aleda Clarke, Mel Killian and Petyka Slattery.

The girls are all fired up THE girls outnumbered the guys on a recent Mt Eliza Fire Brigade recruiting course: the first time that’s been the case in its 80-year history. “In my 30 years’ service we have always had women in the brigade, but this is the first time we have recruited more women than men for an intake,” Brigade captain Andrew Whitehead said. “We had four females and one male on our most recent course.”

Citizen’s thanks As the 2016 Frankston Citizen of the Year, I look back on the past year and what it has meant to me. To be nominated and chosen for this great honour has been a humbling experience, and I thank the nominators and last year’s Frankston Council for considering me. To be an ambassador for Frankston has meant that I attended several official functions and was asked to speak to community groups, an experi-

The volunteer brigade relies on local support and next month members will be calling on Mt Eliza residents for help. It will be actively recruiting firefighting and emergency response crews, as well as brigade support roles. Those considering volunteering with the CFA and wondering what’s involved in being a volunteer can attend an information session in early March. To register visit mtelizacfa.com.au ence that I undertook with great pride. To the 2017 Citizens of the Year, husband and wife the Reverend Angel and Pastor Ulli Roldan, I offer my heartiest congratulations and wish you every success as you carry the ambassador’s baton for this year. Good luck and enjoy 2017 as you serve and represent the community of our wonderful city. David Cross, 2016 Frankston Citizen of the Year

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mrs George Shepherd on the mend Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE many friends of Mrs George Shepherd, of Somerville, will be pleased to learn that she is again at home and slowly recovering from the painful operation which she recently underwent. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will sell on Thursday next 8th last at “Sunnyside” Mornington Road, contents of 10 roomed villa, on account of Mrs A. S. Panter. Owing to this property having been sold, everything will be unreserved. *** A GRAND cencert in aid of the funds of the Frankston Methodist Church will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening next. We understand that a good programme is being arranged, and as there will be good moonlight, there will doubtless be a good attendance. *** IT is to be hoped that a good number of willing hands will respond to the call for volunteers to assist in clearing the Frankston cemetery of the rubbish that is so rapidly overgrowing everthing else and rendering it peculiarly liable to be swept clean by any fire that may start in the vicinity. Those willing are asked to be at the cemetery this afternoon. *** ALFRED Johnson, a foreigner, who claimed to be a Finn, and who had been making himself objectionable to the townspeople for a couple of days by stopping pedestrians and begging

money, with which he afterwards obtained liquor, was arrested a Frankston on Wednesday. He appeared before Caps Sherlock J.P, on Thursday morning on charges of offensive behaviour and vagrancy. Const Ryan informed the magistrate that Johansen was an alien with no papers to show his nationality and no passport, as required by the War Precautions Act. He had, as well as stopping people in the street, visited numerous houses, demanding money etc. At houses where no men were present the female inmates were alarmed by the prisoner, who was generally drunk. He was drunk when arrested, and on the way to the watch house he violently resisted and used atrocious language. On the first charge the prisoner, who pleaded guilty was fined 20s or 7 days imprisonment, and on the second charge he was given 14 days imprisonment. *** A SEASIDE FATALITY. - DISAPPEARANCE OF TWO BOYS. A commission of inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of two boys named Montgomery Robinson 18, and Andrew McNeil, 17, at Carrum, on Saturday, 1st April, 1916, was held before Mr Cohen, P.M. at the City Police Court on Wednesday. Constable P. B. McDonald, Chelsea, stated that after he received news on 2nd April of the fact that the boys were missing he went to Carrum to assist in

the search, and also instructed Const Pattison to go. He could not notify the neighboring police stations as the telephones were not available on Sunday, and he considered that the other stations would be unable to do more than he was doing. He did not see the necessity for hiring a boat to search the water. Senior Const. McCormack, who was notified at Frankston of the fatality at 9am on 2nd April, said he patrolled the beaches where it was expected the boat would be washed up. He searched on Sunday and Monday. Const Pattison also gave evidence of having searched the beaches for traces of the missing boys. William Vagg farmer said that the boys asked him for a loan of the dinghy for the purpose of fishing. He assisted them to launch the boat and saw them at various times about a mile and a half from the shore. The water was perfectly calm. After dark set in Mr and Mrs Robinson came to him and asked him about the boat. He told them that the boys were alright, as the boat could not be sunk or capsized. He remained on the beach until daylight on the Sunday morning with Mr Robinson. Witness said that, in his opinion a piece of rope which was produced in court and which had been attached to the anchor of the boat, was cut and not worn away. Mr Jones: was the boat seaworthy? Witness: I would not risk my life in it unless it was.

Thomas Alexander Robinson, 35 Burnley Street Burnley, father to one of the boys, said the failure on the part of the police to conduct a proper search appeared to be due to the absence of telephonic communication on Sunday. Rachel Elizabeth Robinson, wife of the previous witness, said that she accepted the assurance of Mr Vagg, that the boat was seaworthy. Had she seen the boat before it was found on the beach she would have had grave misgivings. After other evidence had been given, the inquiry was closed. Mr Cohen will forward his report to the Governor in Council. *** Our Letter Box. TO THE EDITOR. Sir, Having spent several months in your interesting little town, may I crave space in your widly-read journal, to comment both eulogistically and critically on a certain very popular patriotic body – The Frankston “Wattle” Club. I was told this club was composed of mostly ladies, who spared neither time nor effort to entertain and cheer such of our gallant soldiers who found their way Frankstonwards, and also, managed and catered for numerous social evenings in aid of various patriotic objects. This sounded admirable and I immediately took steps to cultivate the acquaintance of the workers in what is rather a unique institute. I found the ladies worthy of all

praise, cheerful, and painstaking, most of them having more than a superficial interest in-as-much as nearly all have their nearest and dearest in the dread danger zone; so they work not only with their head and hands, but with hearts deeply stirred as only they can who have given their loved ones to risk all in our glorious cause. So much for praise. Deeply regretting the need of any adverse criticism of such an otherwise splendid movement, I must point out one serious defect. Unless I have been misinformed, sincerely do I hope I may have been, upon the committee of the “Wattle” Club there is a young man, unmarried and apparently eligible for active service. Surely, so glaring an incongruity would not be tolerated. Could the wives, sisters and sweethearts of our gallant boys, sit in friendly confab with one who could, yet would not go to their assistance. Is it not rather an insult to those heroes to even suggest such a thing. Yes, Mr Editoir, the idea is too ridiculous, My informant must certainly have been mistaken. However, as the belief is fairly general in your district, and is distinctly detrimental to the Club’s interests, pethaps I may be forgiven for thus making the rumor public and allowing these worthy ladies the opportunity of contradicting the mis-statement, if such it be. Yours faithfully, A.I F. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 3 February, 1917

Brittain dominates again PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association star Chris Brittain singlehandedly defeated Moorooduc in Provincial cricket on Saturday after smashing an incredible 232 for Baxter. The master all-rounder hit 18 fours and 14 sixes in Baxter’s massive total of 7/416 after chasing Moorooduc’s 168. Coming into the Round 8 match, Brittain had already hit two massive back-to-back hundreds against Mornington and Crib Point. Those knocks prompted former Victorian wicketkeeper and South Australia coach Darren ‘Chuck’ Berry to say on Melbourne radio that Brittain was the best country batsman he had seen. As well as having knocks of 155 and 181 coming into this match, Brittain had also scored half-centuries against Sorrento and Langwarrin. Chris Brittain has hit an amazing 786 runs this season in eight innings, as well as snaring 21 wickets. It’s hard to remember a single player dominating with bat and ball to this degree in MPCA cricket – names like Scott Phillips and Paul Hartle spring to mind but it’s doubtful we’ve ever witnessed anything like this. His skipper at the other end, Daniel Warwick, who has also dominated this season, hit 90 runs in Baxter’s massive win. The Ducs’ used nine bowlers in an effort to remove Brittain. The prized scalp was eventually picked-up by skipper Ken Cremen. Langwarrin continues to defy the odds and notched up yet another victory on Saturday, this time against Pearcedale to claim the Bushman’s Cup. Defending 180, Matt Prosser had his best ever game with the ball for the Kangas, snatching 7/65 in 25.1 overs to play a game-changing role in helping to dismiss the Panthers for 154. Skipper Travis Campbell got his side away to a flyer and bowled sensationally to claim 2/34 from 16 overs. Kaine Smith top-scored for the visitors with an unbeaten 47 while Brad Trotter opened with 40.

Mornington made tough work of it but it was enough to get the points against Mt Eliza in a thriller. Chasing 167 for victory, Mornington picked up the winning runs with one wicket in hand. Nick Johnson with an unbeaten 25 was the key player in the victory when things got tight at the end, while Brad McDonald top scored with 46. Justin Grant was again superb with

the ball for the Mounties, claiming 5/65 from 36.2 overs. Rob Maskiell picked up 3/23 from 13. Crib Point picked up a much-needed win against Long Island, beating them outright to claim the maximum 20 points. The Magpies made 145 in reply to Long Islands 95 before rolling them again for just 82. The Pies needed just over 30 runs to

claim the outright win. Crib Point skipper Matt Blake picked up 5/18 in the first innings and Jacob Cook snared 4/21 in the second dig. The Pies are still 20 points outside of the top four. Peninsula Old Boys successfully defended its 8/277 against Sorrento, bowling out the Sorras with three overs to go for 251.

Leigh Poholke top scored for Sorrento with 71 while Jedd Flack hit 44. James LaBrooy was the best of the Old Boys’ bowlers with 3/29. Pines got the job done against Somerville, winning by 26 runs. Chasing 187 for victory, Somerville resumed on 1/15 and lost wickets at important times thereafter. Nick Wilcox took 4/36 for Pines and Alex Coad claimed 2/31.

on and finished at 6/51 to claim victory. Unfortunately for Boneo, which is also winless for the season and fighting relegation, it was unable to take advantage of its upper hand at the close of the opening day against Delacombe Park. Boneo bowled out Delacombe Park for 132 on the opening day of the match and resumed day two at 1/12. However, 1/12 quickly became 3/29 and then 5/39. Boneo was eventually bowled out for 86. Stuey Peck top-scored for the Pandas with 24, while Delacombe skipper Ricky Ramsdale dominated with the ball, taking 5/30 from 24.3 overs. Andrew Stapleton also played a ma-

jor role for the Parkers, claiming 3/21 from 17 overs. Boneo is now alone at the bottom of the table. Rosebud somehow successfully defended its shocking score of 113 against Seaford Tigers, winning by 11 runs. The Buds batted 66 overs for 113 last week before rolling the Tigers for just 102. David James top-scored for the Tigers with 49. The master who is Jason Nagel was superb once again for the Buds, picking up 6/46 from 24 overs. Rosebud was 5/56 in its second innings before play came to an end. Baden Powell recorded a fantastic victory against Mt Martha.

The Reds were in early trouble against the Braves, resuming at 3/32, chasing Baden Powell’s first innings total of 165. Things didn’t get much better for Mt Martha, bowled out for just 66 with Brett Wilkinson top scoring with 14. Michael Ballard was on fire for the Braves with 6/20 from 15.5 overs. Main Ridge skipper Gareth Wyatt turned back the clock and scored 131 for his side to help them to victory against Flinders. On a week where it was announced that former Victorian Sheffield Shield player and Sorrento coach Nick Jewell had signed with the club for two years from next season, the Ridge

were up and about on Saturday. Chasing 128 for victory, the Ridge resumed at 3/32 with Shaun Foster on 41. He finished with 70 while Wyatt dominated at the other end. Sam Lyons provided wonderful support also with a fine 64. Main Ridge finished at 8/291. Matty Burns was the pick of the Sharks’ bowlers with 3/26 from 15 overs. Red Hill recorded an easy victory against Heatherhill. Defending 201, Red Hill had its opponent 2/17 overnight. The Hills were eventually rolled for just 106 with Brett Maxwell top scoring with 28. Simon Dart collected 4/16 for the Hills off eight overs and Glenn Collett helped himself to 4/53 from 18 overs.

Demons get their first win

DISTRICT

By IT Gully RYE avoided a reverse outright attempt by Seaford to win its first game of the season in MPCA District cricket. Resuming at 5/111 on day two of the match and chasing Seaford’s first innings total of 74, Rye was eventually bowled out for 150, giving them a 76-run first innings lead. Seaford was always going to go for a reverse outright and scored 7/214 in 38 overs before sending Rye back into bat. Faisal Payenda smashed 92 and Chris Cleef hit 63 in Seaford’s second innings. Just needing to bat out the remainder of the day, Rye was able to hang

The Yabbies are on a roll SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully TYABB continued its big move on Saturday with a commanding win against second placed Ballam Park in MPCA Sub District cricket. The Yabbies have charged into the top four on the back of a couple of impressive victories. On Saturday, Tyabb belted Ballam Park. After scoring 9/270 with Jarrod White (72), Michael Edwards (50) and Nick Taranto (54) all dominating, the

Yabbies set about defending the total. When Tyabb’s Jai Gleeson picked up Stuart Plunkett for a duck, the Knights were in all sorts of trouble. Gleeson finished with the impressive figures of 4/37 from 18 overs, including eight maidens. Steve Worthington was outstanding for the Knights with a team-high 55. Hastings extended its lead at the top of the ladder with a 49-run win against Carrum. The Blues only made 149 with the bat but had Carrum 2/7 overnight.

Things didn’t get much better for the Lions, eventually bowled out for 100 in 60.4 overs. Mitchell Floyd finished with 3/36 for the Blues and Ryan McNamara chipped in with 3/20 from 9.4 overs. Luke Hewitt also claimed 2/19 from 20 overs. Daniel Graves was the best of the Carrum batsmen, making 20 batting at 11. Frankston YCW recorded a massive victory against Skye. The Stonecats hit 7/258 on the open-

ing day of the match with Paul Bradley back and scoring 89, while Brett Hudgson hit 55. Skye lost 3/36 in reply before storming to 200 with Anthony Craddock scoring 68 and Chris Milne 51. Lai Leaunoa was the star with the ball for the Stonecats with 5/29 from 17 overs. Dromana was smashed by Carrum Downs, which wasn’t surprising considering they resumed at 7/35 chasing 135. The Hoppers did put up a bit of a

fight early on the second day, getting to 96. Carrum Downs batted the day out and finished at 5/136. Tootgarook also was belted by Balnarring. Resuming at 0/6 and chasing 218 for victory, Tootgarook was bowled out for just 85. Geoff Bradshaw was the best of the saints’ bowlers with 3/13 from 15 overs, while Lee Murdoch and Brenton Taylor picked up a couple of wickets each.

Armour targets striker, four for Mornington SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SKYE United gaffer Billy Armour has his sights set on more new signings as he prepares for the upcoming State 3 South-East campaign. Armour already has enticed Johnny Andrinopoulos and Jason Nowakowski to join last year’s State 4 South champion and has a number of triallists under the microscope. Andrinopoulos last played with Kingston City in 2015 and can play in central defence or as a defensive midfielder. “Johnny’s locked in which is good. His fitness levels are getting there and as soon as he gets his touch back he’ll be a really good signing for us,” said Armour. Nowakowski played with Endeavour United last season and is a right winger. “He’s got a really good engine and he’s got that bit of quality that we need,” said Armour. Triallists include Faheem Essa, a striker from Glen Waverley, Brazilian midfielder Anderson de Aranjo Stoze and Sandown Lions duo Khor Pal Gatluak and Wumjuck John Jang. Gatluak can play in central defence or at right back and Jang plays up front. Gatluak made a favourable impression in last week’s friendly against

Baxter at Baxter Park. “He was quite solid to be honest and considering that Baxter are very strong up front and can also be physical Khor matched it with them so he could be a good asset for us,” said Armour. “It looks like it’s going to be a very even league and I hear that quite a few teams have strengthened. “Obviously you hear about Knox who have boys from the Pines and other local clubs so by all accounts they’ll be a strong side. “Because we’ve kept most of the squad from last year I think we’ll be competitive and hopefully with a few additions we’ll have more depth. “If I can get another striker in we won’t be too far away. “We had somebody that we agreed with but he’s not answering his phone now.” Forwards Matt Wilson and Alex Roberts are likely departures from last year’s squad. Travel issues have forced Wilson’s hand while Roberts is rumoured to be keen to play at a higher level. Armour’s team manager is Eric Wilson, Liam George is reserves coach and Travis Mitchell is George’s assistant. Armour and George attended an FFA/AFC C licence coaching course on Saturday so former senior assistant

Phil McGuinness was in charge of the squad that competed in the 2017 Steve Wallace Cup. The annual tournament was again hosted by Mornington at its Dallas Brooks Park headquarters. It drew a large crowd and the day’s proceeds went to Frankston Hospital’s emergency department. The home side triumphed for the fourth year running having reached the final due to a late goal that edged out a gallant Baxter 1-0. State 4 South’s Baxter surprised many onlookers with wins over State 2 South East club Berwick City and State 3 South East outfit Skye United. Baxter’s arch rival and fellow State 4 side, Rosebud Heart, also proved tough to break down only losing 1-0 to State 1 opponents Casey Comets and Langwarrin. Comets joined Mornington in the final due to superior goal difference over Langwarrin. The final’s decisive moment came in the second half when Stefan Soler, on trial from Frankston Pines, slipped the ball down the right to Mornington livewire Wayne Gordon who had made a diagonal run and as he gained possession the offside appeals from Comets players and bench fell on deaf ears. Gordon squared the ball to Michael Freeman whose low first-time strike

settled the issue. The downside on the day was the serious left leg injury suffered by Skye United’s Lachlan Campbell who fractured his tibia and also suffered two small fractures of his fibia. Here are all the Steve Wallace Cup results: 11am: Mornington 0 Berwick City 0, Langwarrin 1 Seaford Utd 0, Casey Comets 2 Peninsula Strikers 1, Skye Utd 1 Baxter 4. 12pm: Langwarrin 0 Casey Comets 0, Mornington 1 Skye Utd 1, Berwick City 2 Sth Springvale 0, Seaford Utd 0 Rosebud Heart 1. 1pm: Mornington 4 Sth Springvale 1, Seaford Utd 1 Peninsula Strikers 1, Langwarrin 1 Rosebud Heart 0, Berwick City 1 Baxter 2. 2pm: Peninsula Strikers 0 Rosebud Heart 0, Sth Springvale 1 Baxter 0, Berwick City 1 Skye Utd 1, Casey Comets 4 Seaford Utd 0. 3pm: Langwarrin 2 Peninsula Strikers 0, Skye Utd 1 Sth Springvale 0, Mornington 1 Baxter 0, Casey Comets 1 Rosebud Heart 0.

Final: Mornington 1 Casey Comets

In other news Langwarrin will welcome two more imports tomorrow (Tuesday) when midfielders Connor Belger and Paul Speed from AFC Liverpool fly in to Melbourne. Gun Langy striker Rachel Stirton has signed with women’s National Premier League outfit Southern United. The 22-year-old is the younger sister of Dandenong City striker David Stirton and partner of Bentleigh Greens striker Ryan Paczkowski. Goalscoring is in her DNA as her father, Iain, was a striker with Scottish club Rangers. Peninsula Strikers’ English import, Danny Brooks, debuted for the club at the Wallace Cup and the coaching staff were delighted with his performance. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder from Liverpool lacks nothing in confidence and has already declared that he’ll score at least 20 goals this season.

By Ben Triandafillou THE Western Port Steelers have some promising young talent going through their club with junior basketballers, Beau Greenbury, Tyrone Wilk and Marley Thompson. With 13 Grand Final victories and six Most Valuable Player Award’s between them, the boys have clustered together an impressive cabinet of awards. The juniors, who will be playing in the under-16 Boys division, are incredibly dedicated, training four to five times a week in hopes to eventually make it into the Big V Youth League. Tyrone and Beau moved to the Western Port Steelers not long ago, playing their first season for the Steelers last year. In 2015, Tyrone Wilk was the

first athlete to be awarded a full scholarship to the Mornington Peninsula Sports Academy allowing him to participate in testing and several programs offered by the academy, an outstanding achievement. Marley is going into his sixth season at Western Port and found his passion for the sport playing domestically in Rowville. “I played domestic growing up, but I’m not originally from the Somerville area, I’m from Rowville. I played domestic over there and just loved it. Then moved here and started playing rep,” said Marley Thompson. The boys are now going through grading for the upcoming season which will commence on February 03 and are hoping to add another trophy to their cabinet.
