opened a standalone workroom and another shop in Pakenham.

We have gone from just the two of us to having 25 employees across the business. We stated just selling the current trends in blinds and then added soft furnishings as we felt there was a demand for the complete package.”

“At Jaleigh Blinds and Curtains, our philosophy is to offer expertise and friendly advice to help our customers make confident, informed decisions,” said husband and wife owners, David and Annette Farren. “We do not believe in hard sell but rather let our service, quality products and low prices speak for themselves.”

Meanwhile the manufacturing side of the business started with just vertical blinds, followed by roller binds as they started to become more popular. Timber blinds and roman blinds followed while the retailer also sourced other products from specialists within the industry.

Initially run from home by the husband and wife team, the company now also provides employment for 25 local people.

“By manufacturing most styles of blinds in our Carrum Downs factory, we eliminate the middle man and pass the savings on to our customers. Our locally made range is complemented by the latest styles sourced from selected suppliers, all experts in their field,” said David and Annette. “Many of our customers come to us through recommendation and we also supply to a large number of local builders, developers, health facilities and schools on a regular basis.”

David spent 14 years with a major retailor before venturing out on

his own. The business was started with installing widow covering for other clients.

“When we saw a market for selling direct to the consumer, Annette started measuring and quoting while David installed blinds for

Jaleigh whilst working at a new manufacturer as factory manager.

We then started to manufacture blinds from our shed at home and, as the business grew, we opened a shop and workroom at 50 Hartnett Drive, Seaford. Since then we have

Going forward, business growth will be based on more of the same approach as the last 22 years says David and Annette.

Jaleigh Blinds cater for anything

“Our typical customer is a private home owner, either in the process of building or renovating. They might be looking to fit out an entire house or just some rooms, depending on their project. We also have a large clientele who own rental properties or holiday homes and require cost effective solutions to covering their windows,” said David and Annette.

“We pride ourselves on our staff’s product knowledge, but saying that, we are not afraid to ask our specialist suppliers for assistance when required.”

“We sell all internal window coverings from roller binds to venetians, romans and shutters, through to curtains, pelmets, swags and tails and nyth9ing in between. Our core range includes roller blinds, verticals, roman blinds and panel glides, manufactured in our factory. We also manufacture pvc venetians and curtain tracks in house and have added Visionshade blinds to our range.

We have expanded our range of exterior awnings, including motorisation. Plantations shutters remain a favorite especially for front facing windows,” said David and Annette.

from budget to higher end, whether it is basic roller blinds or the most luxurious soft furnishings.

“The business was called Bayside Discount Shoes and then Bayside Shoe Warehouse as we were initially similar to the low cost, high volume stores that became K-Mart, Target and Big W in the range and quality of shoes during that period.”

Lorraine made a conscious decision to focus on supplying high quality shoes, clothing and handbags in 2009 with an emphasis on quality and comfort suitable for work, special occasions or casual wear.

“We saw regular problems of sore feet due to plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, bunions and foot injuries which made us focus on a ‘foot solution’ approach to supply shoes and inserts that would prevent or reduce foot pain from toddlers, first walkers to falling arches as we mature. We have established a close working relationship with podiatrists, physiotherapists and orthopaedic specialists to offer a ‘shoe solution’ for difficult foot problems whether you are a shoe size 5 to a size 17,” she said. “Bayside Shoes is still listed on the internet website under www.baysideshoewarehouse.com.au as we currently send shoes not only within Australia but also to USA, Canada, France

and exotic locations like Algeria & South Africa.”

Bayside Shoes has always offered a specialist shoe fitting service to ensure that you get the correct shoe size fit and level of foot support that you need as well as good advice that the shoe is suitable. This is a cornerstone of our business and reason we have such a high positive level of customer referral and repeat business.

Bayside Shoes is at 103 Railway Parade, Seaford.

Rate your hearing at Nepean Hearing 4 Million Australians have a hearing loss.

Nepean Hearing is offering free hearing tests and rating your Hearing for Your Age (for the over 40’s).

The number of Australians who are hearing impaired is increasing because of • the Ageing Population –we are living longer

• excessive Noise - in the workplace and high level music Hearing loss is often described as the ‘invisible disability’.

People often wait for 5-10 years before they seek help. Hearing loss may also be a contributing factor in the speed of onset of dementia. The degree of loss is also correlated to the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. It is important to know about your hearing.

Many people ignore the signs of hearing loss, which include turning the TV or stereo up so loud that others complain, frequently needing to ask others to repeat themselves and not being able to hear properly on the telephone. Constant ringing is also another warning sign of hearing loss.

As technology advances, many people with hearing loss benefit from hearing aids. These innovations have made a positive difference in the way they can communicate and enjoy their lives.

Nepean Hearing is an independently owned clinic and the audiologists are University of Melbourne trained.

Building plans sent back to drawing board Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au PLANS to construct a 14 storey tower on Playne Street have been labelled as “not appropriate” and rejected by Frankston Council.

The development, planned for 35 Playne Street, was proposed to contain 11 student rooms, 77 apartments, social housing, and privately run businesses.

It was rejected with the vote of seven councillors at council’s 22 July meeting.

Council officers had recommended the permit be approved, but councillors ultimately voted to stop it going ahead.

Brad Smith, founder of Braaap Motorcycles in Frankston and the applicant for the permit, made a submission to defend the proposal. He told council that apartments had already been presold, and urged them to approve it.

Mr Smith told The Times he was “incredibly surprised” at the refusal.

“Considering the council planning team gave the recommendation to approve, especially after working with council for 18 months, we believe we’d worked with council to produce something amazing for the city,” he said.

“We’ll go to VCAT, but it’s incredibly disappointing. That takes money and time, we’re a social enterprise and that’s money that we want to use to make a difference. This could cost us between a five and 22 week delay.”

Mr Smith told council that the building would result in the “activation of Playne Street” and “set a new standard”.

“We have sold enough apartments to be able to build,” he told councillors.

“We sold them subject to council ap-

proval. The funds are held in trust.”

Mr Smith told The Times “we’ve pre -sold nineteen apartments, that doesn’t include family investments, that’s residents of Frankston, people who believe in Frankston.”

“All purchases are subject to council approval, they can pull out if they want,” he said.

Cr Colin Hampton called the decision to presell apartments “presumptuous.”

Mr Smith told council the inclusion of social housing was a key part of the proposal. Under the proposal there would “five student rooms and six 2-bedroom apartments for affordable housing”.

Cr Glenn Aitken said the addition of more social housing in the area is “desirable” but ultimately voted against the proposal, citing concerns about its height. “If another and another come to us and want to build to that height too, if they want ten metres above our desired height, what happens then,” he said.

The building was proposed to be 42.8 metres in height. Frankston Council states 32 metres as their preferred maximum height. Mr Smith said one reason for the building’s proposed height was that testing at the site had revealed it was not possible to construct the car park for the building underground.

Cr Steve Toms said the building “towers” above others in Playne Street and voted against it.

The mayor Michael O’Reilly voted against the move to refuse a permit to the developer. Cr Brian Cunial abstained. All other councillors voted in favour of a refusal.

Survey says council on the up FRANKSTON Council’s performance has improved, but are still below the standards set statewide according to the results of a community satisfaction survey coordinated by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

400 randomly chosen ratepayers were picked to have their say as part of the survey. Councils are awarded “index points” across various performance areas.

Frankston Council received a score of 59 for their overall performance. The number is up on their result of 55 from last year, but still just below the state average of 60.

The mayor Michael O’Reilly said “the results indicate council is on the right track and making welcome improvements.”

“Council accomplished an overall score of 59 out of 100, up four points from last year, and reversed the declining trend experienced between 2013 and 2018,” he said.

“I would like to thank all residents who provided their feedback. We acknowledge there is still room for improvement and we will continue

to work towards delivering better outcomes for the Frankston community.”

Frankston Council also saw small improvements across the areas of community consultation, advocacy, and making community decisions according to the survey results.

One of councils best performing areas compared to state averages is ratepayer’s satisfactions with roads. Council achieved a score of 66 for sealed local roads, well above the statewide average of 56.

Last year 19 per cent of respondents rated council’s overall performance as poor or very poor. This year 15 per cent did.

Frankston Council marked North West Ward residents and residents aged between 50 and 64 as needing more attention after receiving the survey results last month.

Neighbouring Kingston Council fared a little better than Frankston, receiving a score of 64 for their overall performance.

She used the platform to remind others to be vigilant and look after their own health.

“Let’s be frank, cancer sucks,” Ms Murphy said.

“It changes the way your body feels and it changes the way you feel about your body. The treatments can make you sick. Sometimes you’re scared.

Sometimes you’re angry. In my experience, you’re often both at the same time.

“As I now know, cancer is not just indiscriminate, it’s sneaky. Two weeks ago, a week after being sworn in as the member for Dunkley, I received the unexpected news that my cancer had returned. You might say Murphy’s law strikes again. But my mother Jan, who is a Murphy by marriage not birth and therefore able to adopt a less pessimistic personal motto, would say everything happens for a reason.

“Ladies, check your breasts. Men, stop ignoring what your body is telling you. Fellow members of this parliament, listen to the experts who warn that the promise of universal health care is under threat. Commit to the reform and funding that our health system needs and do whatever is required to ensure that Australia trains, retains and invests in the healthcare profes-

sionals and researchers who make our system great. We owe it to our community to do that.”

Ms Murphy, a former lawyer, also recounted her experiences in the legal system in her speech.

“I come to this parliament after a professional career that has spanned the law, public service and politics.

As a solicitor, barrister and senior public defender, I have represented the damaged and the difficult, victims and perpetrators, the blameless and the blameworthy. At every turn, I have seen the corrosive effect that intergenerational disadvantage can have

on people, families and communities.

I have also seen the way the operation of the legal system can cause further distress and damage to people when they’re at their lowest,” she said.

“There are too many people where poor educational and economic opportunities first put them at risk of becoming entangled in the justice system, and then enormous, insurmountable barriers to getting out are put up. Too often, before the kids with the fewest opportunities leave the tail end of our school system, they have already entered the front end of the justice system. Anyone who has worked in the

justice system, criminal or civil, will viscerally understand when I say that justice cannot be left to the justice system alone.

“To really find justice in our society, to break the cycle of disadvantage and dysfunction, we need to take a holistic and long term approach. We need to start by making sure our public education system and the educators who work in it have the resources and support they need to give every child the best start in life, no matter how much money their parents have. We need a political climate and politicians who are prepared to champion the services

and the needs of the people they serve.

It’s that task that motivated me to move from the law into politics.”

Ms Murphy is the first woman to hold the seat of Dunkey, and used her maiden speech to talk about inequality in the workplace.

“Across every occupation women are paid less than men, and the work which is predominantly done by women remains systemically undervalued.

Just ask our early childhood educators and childcare workers what it’s like to have to value yourself against a male comparator. And women continue to be underrepresented in positions of leadership across all workplaces, including this one, so I’m proud to be part of a political party which has taken real action towards rectifying that.”

The Dunkley electorate received high praise from Ms Murphy, who said the area has “a lot more that binds us than separates us.”

“While Dunkley is socioeconomically diverse, it’s perhaps not one of Melbourne’s most multicultural areas.

However, if you wander down to the magnificent Frankston foreshore on a summer weekend, you’ll find hundreds of people from dozens of cultures all with their picnics and barbecues. They have flocked to Frankston to share in a patch of our coastal paradise,” she said.

“For all of our strengths, Dunkley does face local education, health and social challenges, but we’re a community rich with talent and compassion and with people who are using those traits to drive initiatives for local and wider benefits.”

Trains running late Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

Youth mayor steps aside FRANKSTON’s youth mayor Aaron Quarrell had stepped down from his responsibilities.

The mayor Michael O’Reilly said “Aaron has been an absolute pleasure to work with during his time as youth mayor and is widely regarded amongst officers as a respectful man whose maturity is demonstrated through the kindness and courtesy he shows to all.”

“Aaron’s passion for helping others is reflected in his professional life where he provides technology education opportunities to disadvantaged youth. It is unfortunate Aaron is unable to fulfil his term as youth mayor However I respect his decision and on behalf of council, thank him.”

Frankston Council are yet to decide if they will appoint a replacement or leave the position vacant until next year.

TRAINS on the Frankston line are running late more often, Metro figures reveal.

Frankston line trains were on time 90.4 per cent of the time in April of this year, but that number has since dropped. In June, just 83.1 per cent of trains on the line ran on time. The number is also down on the 88.3 per cent of all Metro train services that ran on time during June.

Metro Trains had set a target of 92 per cent punctuality. As a result of their failure to meet that target, Metro will compensate its passengers.

Metro department acting deputy secretary Alan Fedda said “the sub 90 per cent performance means Metro will pay compensation to passengers. A number of incidents contributed to the result including an overhead power issue near Aircraft Station on 3 June and a collision between a train and car near Mentone Station on 12 June.”

“Metro Trains’ contract with the state government includes tougher measures than ever before in relation to punctuality. We expect them to meet these targets and deliver a service that our passengers deserve,” he said.

“These results are unacceptable and we will continue to work with Metro Trains to ensure its performance returns to the expected levels.”

Mr Fedda said that more than 100 incidents involving ill passengers had also caused delays.

He said that under the state government contract to operate the train and tram networks, Metro can be fined up to $1.25 million per month.

Shadow minister for public transport David Davis said “despite the billions of dollars spent on public transport construction including level crossing removals on the Frankston line, the reality for Frankston line commuters is that there has been a dramatic and unacceptable fall in reliability and punctuality on their line.”

Passengers can visit metrotrains.com.au to claim compensation.

Crewther eyes comeback FORMER Dunkley MP Chris Crewther has put his hand up for a return to politics.

Mr Crewther nominated for the vacant position in the federal senate. Other nominees were Sarah Henderson, Kyle Hoppitt, John MacIsaac, Greg Mirabella, Inga Peulich, and Mimmie Watts.

The Victorian senate spot was opened up by the resignation of Mitch Fifield, who has been appointed as Australia’s representative to the United Nations.

The position is expected to be decided next month.

Committee hosts MP for talk DUNKLEY MP Peta Murphy will attend a “meet the people” breakfast hosted by the Committee for Greater Frankston, 7 August.

Attendees will be invited to ask questions to Ms Murphy relating to federal government matters. The event runs from 7.30am - 9am, 7 August at McClelland Gallery Cafe, 390 McClelland Drive. Tickets at trybooking.com/BEEPQ

Tree planting plans uprooted Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

12404323-DJ46-18

PLANS to plant trees along a section of Beach Road have been called off.

Kingston councillors voted on 22 July “to not allow the planting of nature strip trees (...) proposed along the residential side of Beach Road between Charman Road Mentone and Owen Street Mordialloc” due to a “re-

fusal by VicRoads”.

“The beach/foreshore side planting should proceed as planned to provide for the timely completion of the next stage of the foreshore path,” the motion read.

The move to plant trees along that section of the road was decided in December 2018.

Tree planting plans on Beach Road has proved a divisive issue at council this year. Early this year it was

agreed that “council refer the [Bay Trail] matter to the Independent Broad Based Anti Corruption Commission and ask them to undertake an investigation into whether any improper or illegal actions by any participants may have influenced the outcome in this matter.”

Two absent councillors did not take part in the vote to call for an IBAC investigation. Two weeks later council called a special meeting and rescinded

that earlier vote in front of an angered public gallery. Both meetings were hampered by heckling and shouting from members of the public.

On 20 February council voted to “confirm that the Beach Road Boulevard plantings be for the entirety of Kingston’s section of Beach Rd, from Bayside’s border through to Mordialloc”. Kingston mayor Cr Georgina Oxley told The Times at the time that reaffirming that all of Beach Road

Did you know... you can view our papers online

in the municipality would have trees planted was necessary to “clarify a section of the motion that our officers were unsure of. The purpose was to clarify that what was carried by council back in December in regards to tree plantings of Beach Road, which is that they would be for the entire Beach Road in the City of Kingston. This needed to be clarified” (“Council reaffirms Beach Road tree plantings”, The Times, 20/2/19).

Building’s height shot down Continued from Page 1 Cr Aitken said he was disappointed that he had only seen the final designs for the project “three or four weeks” before the meeting.

Cr Kris Bolam said that Playne Street “could do with some economic rejuvenation” but voted in favour of refusing a permit to the developer.

“The developer hasn’t adhered to council’s expectations,” he said.

Cr Quinn McCormack also voted in favour of a refusal. She said that the “project before us is set to be a social enterprise” but that it had “fundamentally missed something”.

“The community creates the planning controls in the city centre,” she said.

“It is plain to me that there has been an overriding of the preferred planning provision.”

Mr Smith told The Times he had “reached out to councillors to set up meetings.”

“Three councillors had spoke to me, and none of those had heard the full proposal,” he said.

“Council staff have been brilliant, the planning team and economic development team have all been outstanding in supporting us.”

Tall order: Concerns about the height of a proposed development in Playne Street has led to council voting to refuse the developer a permit.

Upgrades coming up for cafe UPGRADES are on the menu at Frankie’s Cafe.

Frankie’s Cafe hosts Cafe Creations, a 10 week program aimed at teaching young people out of schooling and employment skills to help find them work. The volunteer program has had two batches of graduates so far.

Frankston councillors voted to “include the installation of bi-fold doors and a servery with supporting HVAC system at Frankie’s Café at the Frankston South Community and Recreation Centre, to be referred for

consideration in the 2020/21 Capital Works budget to increase the capacity of the training cafe for the benefit of the trainees, their customers and the centre to offer social inclusion programs.” Those works are estimated to cost $150,000.

Cafe Creations graduate Courtney Anderson made a submission to council calling for them to help out.

“This funding would make using the appliances safe,” she said.

The program’s third lot of participants are set to graduate on 6 August.

Sages Cottage graffiti ‘distressing’ Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au WALLARA clients at Sages Cottage were “devastated” to see the sign at their front gate defaced with graffiti last week.

Wallara Australia hosts programs for people with disabilities at the Baxter site. CEO Phil Hayes-Brown said that clients at Sages Cottage were “puzzled, distressed, and upset” about their sign being defaced.

“Our clients there take a lot of pride in the place. They are very proud of the farm, and have a sense of ownership around it,” he said.

“The farm is increasingly popular, and we get lots of inquiries about it. We’d been planning to put up some buildings at the place, and all that seems very contrary to someone defacing signs out the front. We’re a not for profit, and we’ve have to incur expense to fix that.

“Our clients open their arms and doors to the community, it’s all at odds with someone vandalising the sign.”

Wallara client Corey Paten, from Langwarrin, said “I’m sad and disappointed. It shouldn’t happen here.”

Leah Cafarella from Mount Martha said “it made me feel sad, it’s not nice that people do that to our things.”

Readers up for the challenge PRESCHOOL children are invited to take part in the mayor’s annual reading challenge, which is in its ninth year.

The mayor Michael O’Reilly said “Australian research has found that children who are read to six or seven times a week have a literacy level almost a year ahead of children who are not read to at home and are more likely to learn more when they start school.”

“The mayor’s reading challenge

is an awesome opportunity to read to kids and collect some pretty cool prizes along the way,” he said.

“Everyone who completes the challenge of 60 books receives a free book and goes into the draw to win one of three Robinsons Bookshop vouchers.

“We encourage parents to make reading interesting by not only reading children’s books but sharing what you enjoy, from reading snippets from your favourite magazine

or newspaper out loud, to pointing out road signs and singing nursery rhymes with them.”

The challenge runs through August, and is run in conjunction with Children’s Book Council of Australia book of the year celebrations. Registration is available at all Frankston libraries.

Prizes can be collected for every 20 reading experiences. For more information, go to library.frankston. vic.gov.au or phone 9784 1020.

Police patrol

with Brodie Cowburn

Stats are in

Hat trick

FIGURES have revealed how many people fell foul of police during Operation Armada, which took place in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula areas.

Operation Armada ran from 7pm, 19 July to 2am, 20 July.

2077 breath tests were administered, with 18 drink drivers detected.

A P plater blew .154.

Police conducted 149 drug tests and caught 20 drug drivers.

Police impounded nine vehicles, issued 48 infringement notices, and found 15 drivers to be driving disqualified, suspended, or unlicensed.

Three people were charged with criminal offences.

Among those caught up in the operation was a nineteen year old Mt Eliza driver who had just received his green P Plates. He was caught overloading when police allegedly discovered two other passengers in his boot.

Southern Metro Region Superintendent Adrian White said the results were “disappointing.”

“It not only puts those drivers or riders in danger but puts the lives of every single other road user travelling around them at risk,” he said.

“We have seen far too much trauma on our roads this year. This operation is not about detecting motorists doing the wrong thing, it’s about instilling awareness and making sure each and every motorist understands they have a responsibility when it comes to keeping our roads safe and driving down road trauma.”

TWO members of the Somerville highway patrol had a productive day on 22 July, impounding three cars in a two hour stretch.

Just after 10.30am they pulled over a 64-year-old woman in Baxter driving on a suspended license. Her Volkswagen Golf was impounded for at least 30 days.

Police also impounded a blue Hyundai iMax van, after they pulled over another driver in Frankston North. The 52-year-old Frankston man was allegedly driving on a suspended license.

At around 12.30pm a 39-year-old woman was pulled over in Frankston on Fingal Drive. Police said she was driving a friend’s unregistered Commodore, and only had a learner’s permit.

Police said the woman had removed the alcohol interlock system with the help of an unlicensed passenger. The woman allegedly returned a positive drug test for methylamphetamine.

All three drivers will be summoned to court.

‘Abusive’ driver does time A WOMAN driving at 137 kmph in an 80 kmph zone was caught by police on Frankston-Dandenong Road, 5.40pm 22 July.

Somerville Highway Patrol members pulled over a Commodore sedan and conducted a breath test on a 32-year-old Frankston North woman.

She was accompanied by a passenger.

Police said the woman became “abusive” when asked to undergo an

evidentiary breath test, and walked off.

Police said the woman returned 15 minutes later, and was arrested. She spent four hours in a cell at Frankston police station.

The woman in expected to be summonsed to appear in court on multiple charges, including excessive speed, failing to remain for a breath test, and being drunk in a public place.

Fatal crash investigated A MAN has died after a crash on Frankston-Flinders Road.

Police were told that a car was travelling through Tyabb when the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree, around 2.30pm 24 July.

Emergency services attended but the man, believed to be in his 70s, died.

Police are investigating the crash.

Cop caught AN off-duty police driver has been caught after allegedly drink driving in Frankston.

A woman was pulled over at around 12.10am, 20 July for an alcohol and drug test. She is a leading senior constable from crime command.

The woman allegedly tested positive to a preliminary breath test, and blew an alleged reading of .059 during an evidentiary test.

She lost her licence, was disqualified from driving for three months, and issued with a $496 fine.

New research shows cashless is already king CASH payments are fast becoming a thing of the past. New research shows that the ease and security of waving a card, phone or even your wrist instead of carrying around cash is more popular than ever.

Detailed research by Colmar Brunton, commissioned for the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), reveals that only one in five Australians still prefer using cash for purchases.

ATO Assistant Commissioner Matthew Bambrick said “It’s clear that there’s been a cultural shift towards cashless payments across the board, even for smaller amounts.

“The research shows that cash is only the pre-

ferred payment method for transactions under $5, and for anything over $50, the vast majority of people want the ease and security of an electronic payment.

“Where we once saw people walk into car dealerships with cash in hand, cash has now been relegated to the morning coffee”, Mr Bambrick said.

The trend towards cashless payments is particularly evident among people under 35, who carry the least amount of cash.

Those aged 18-24 are also half as likely to request a discount for paying in cash compared to the general population.

Mr Bambrick said “the move by the younger generation away from seeking an ‘under the table’ discount is really encouraging. It indicates that a once common practice is now rare as people enjoy the benefits of being cash free.”

The research shows consumers are drawn by the convenience of cashless payments, which remove the unnecessary step of withdrawing cash and carrying it around when making any transaction. Tap and Go payments have also been game changing, bringing about faster transaction times.

Additionally, cashless payments boast security benefits, by removing the risks of carrying cash and protecting consumer rights through easier record keeping.

Mr Bambrick said “The business community knows what people want, and 86% of businesses agree that most customers expect to be able to pay via electronic means.

“This research indicates that the trend away from cash will only gather pace. This is more than a passing fad. This is the way of the future.

“Particularly with the decline in minimum transaction amounts, we are likely to see more and more people carrying little or no cash at all.

Most businesses already know this and we expect the rest will be there soon.”

ON THE COVER

SPECTACULAR RESIDENTIAL BLOCK PRIMED FOR THE FUTURE RIPE for development, or alternatively enjoy what is a wonderful family home, this splendid property certainly provides buyers with plenty of options. The mid 20th-century brick home is a glorious time capsule of what a quality build used to represent. With close to 70 years passing since initial construction the home has been beautifully maintained with handsome polished hardwood floors gleaming under the high ceilings. Filled with charming features and a touch of the modern, an updated kitchen has a healthy amount of cupboard space and stainless-steel appliances that include a freestanding 900-millimetre oven with gas cooktop and there is a dishwasher. An equally spacious dining area adjoins the kitchen and opens out to a lovely entertaining deck, and to the elegant formal lounge is a gas log-effect heater. A handy rumpus room creates a great zone for kids to play away from the main living areas, or with its proximity to the main bedroom could just as easily become a spacious parents retreat.

Looters dive deep off Cape Schanck LOOTERS have stolen irreplaceable items from a shipwreck lying 80 metres under the sea about 10 kilometres south of Cape Schanck.

The loss in 1893 of 16 of the SS Alert’s crew is one of the worst shipwrecks in Victoria’s maritime history.

A 500-metre radius around the wreck was declared a Commonwealth Protected Zone within weeks of the discovery of the Alert on 3 July 2007.

But thieves have now invaded the fragile archaeological site, stealing such things as navigation lights, bottles, plates and a lamp shade.

The theft was discovered by specialist divers undertaking a routine inspection of the small iron steamer wreck.

Heritage Victoria executive director Steven Avery said “it’s very disappointing to see such a unique and important part of Victoria’s maritime history plundered for personal gain”.

Under the Commonwealth Underwater Cultural Heritage Act 2018 it is an offence to damage the shipwreck or to enter the Protected Zone without a permit. Penalties of up to $168,000 or five years’ jail apply.

“The [SS Alert] was lost for over 110 years until it was eventually discovered in 2007 near Cape Schanck, and a protected zone was put in place,” Mr Avery said.

“When discovered, the ship still contained the crew’s personal effects, enabling an understanding of life at sea on an 1800s coastal trading vessel.

“With the shipwreck located at a depth of 80 metres, the removal of these valuable artefacts could have only been carried out by specialist divers trained in technical diving.

“Of the 600 historic shipwrecks in Victoria, only nine are in protected zones. The remaining wrecks can be explored so long as they community don’t damage or disturb the wrecks or remove artefacts.”

Built in Scotland in 1877, the SS Alert was a small iron steamer used mostly in Port Phillip to run general cargo between Melbourne and Geelong.

The steamer foundered at sea during a storm on 28 December 1893 while returning to Melbourne from Lakes Entrance with a cargo of wattle bark.

Heritage Victoria is working with the Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Energy to investigate the breach of the protected zone and looting.

Anyone with information of the looting or the stolen artefacts can contact Heritage Victoria on 9938 6894 or heritage.victoria@delwp.vic.gov.au.

Ulcer study ‘now a trial’ - mayor Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au FEARS over the environmental effects of using chemicals to kill mosquitos have raised questions about the methods being used on the Mornington Peninsula to investigate the flesh-eating Buruli ulcer.

The Beating Buruli in Victoria: Mosquito Control Study was launched on the back of a $2.4 million federal government grant announced by Flinders MP and Health Minister Greg Hunt in September 2017 to “get to the bottom” of the causes of the ulcer.

Increasing numbers of Buruli ulcer cases are being reported, mainly on the Mornington and Bellarine peninsulas, but also extending as far north along the coast of Port Phillip to Sandringham.

Scientists suspect the ulcer is caused by a bacterium which infects humans bitten by a mosquito.

However, there are growing fears

that the chemicals being used to kill mosquitos will poison other insects, including bees, and creatures that eat them.

Shire councillors were told last week that there is a “paucity of information” confirming mosquitos were to blame for Buruli ulcers.

The effectiveness of efforts to run trials to control mosquitos could be jeopardised by the number of residents deciding to opt out of the study being run by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the Doherty Institute, Barwon Health, Austin Health, CSIRO, Agriculture Victoria, The University of Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula Shire.

More than 10,000 signatures have been added to an online petition protesting at the use of chemicals to kill the mosquitos and the study managers say residents can choose not to be involved.

“When the government money was made available it was called a study, now it’s more like a trial,” the mayor

Cr David Gill said last week.

His comments followed confirmation that in March properties in three streets in Rye were sprayed with a chemical to kill mosquitos. Those streets were the first of 76 locations selected for the study.

Cr Gill says the federal government is not keeping a close enough watch on how the money announced by Mr Hunt is being spent.

On Friday he questioned whether the government normally makes large grants to other levels of government “without knowing how it is going to be used?”

“I would find that very unusual,” Cr Gill said.

He said councillors were not involved in any decisions connected with the study “and I’m very disappointed there has been no proper public consultation or an effort to carry out an environmental effects study”.

Councillors last week called for a report from CEO John Baker on the impact of poisoning mosquitos in ar-

eas of Rye, Sorrento, Blairgowrie, and Tootgarook “on the community, flora, fauna and environment of such areas”.

The motion moved by Cr Hugh Fraser said there was a “paucity of information that confirms mosquitoes are the vector or cause of the infections”.

Residents were concerned that “the broad use of chemical sprays appears to be very drastic action and a disproportionate response…”

On Saturday, Cr Gill circulated an email containing opinions he attributed to a scientist “who prefers to be unnamed for professional purposes”.

The scientist called the study “an experiment” being doner outside of an “established protocol for dealing with infectious diseases problems”.

Asked by The News if chemicals in water, sprayed or "fogged", to control mosquitos was the type of "research" he envisaged when announcing the federal grant, Mr Hunt said it was “vital” to find out about the causes of this “horrible and painful medical condition”.

"It is my hope that the Victorian government listens to the community to provide an effective study into the cause of the ulcer, as well as inform the local community on the scope of measures which will be undertaken, with appropriate measures taken to assist those who do not wish to participate,” Mr Hunt said.

The unnamed scientist quoted by Cr Gill suggested [the shire] request “a technical paper suitable for peer scrutiny be produced … rather than a blanket statement to the general public”.

“For ethical experimental work a real ‘opt out’ option should be in place, otherwise a research experiment would not be expected to pass the usual university research ethics committee approval.

“This pathway seems to have been avoided with the involvement of health department powers over known infectious diseases processes, such as typhoid outbreaks, where overriding powers are approved.”

Help for ‘decision makers’ SARAH Cresp wants to hear about the experiences, stories, and perspectives of the people who make decisions on behalf of those with end-stage dementia.

She says research in Australia, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States shows that substitute decision makers can have rewarding and challenging experiences.

A registered nurse, teaching associate, and Doctor of Philosophy candidate, at Monash University’s peninsula campus, Ms Cresp said the needs of substitute decision makers “are becoming increasingly apparent to clinicians, researchers, and policy makers”.

However, not enough was known to design support and training programs for those who make decision

on behalf of others.

“Therefore, wider research is needed to understand what they need and how they manage the challenges of the role,” Ms Cresp said.

Health-care professionals who went “above and beyond their role for the person living with dementia” earned the trust of substitute decision makers and improved the quality of life for those with dementia.

“Substitute decision makers can experience guilt, mistrust, and confusion; difficulty in translating quality of life; family conflict; and uncertainty and reactivity,” Ms Cresp said.

“But by partnering with healthcare professionals, they find practical ways to manage these challenges, which can lead to an effective and satisfying outcome.”

Ms Cresp said about 250 people in Australia “are falling victim to dementia each day”, which meant a further 250 people needed to become their decision makers.

The number of people with dementia was set to almost triple by 2056.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Dreadlock Holiday Debacle

By Stuart McCullough I FIND it unpleasant. Not just in part but as a terrifying whole. Just the very thought of it makes me feel overwhelmed by nausea; as though I’d just accidentally switched channels and unwittingly exposed myself to several seconds of ‘Love Island’ or had fallen head-first into a skip bin – if, in fact, there’s a difference.

I become sweaty, red-faced and nervous – even more so than usual. I don’t know if it’s the lack of control or just a deep-seeded respect for gravity, but I really don’t like flying. It’s one of the many things that Mr. T and I have in common.

We were going to Thailand. In retrospect, I feel I may have misunderstood the question.

When my wife asked me whether I wanted to go to Thailand, I agreed, thinking it was high time I freshened up my wardrobe and bought some new ties. Only when we pulled into the airport car park did I begin to suspect there was air travel involved. That said, my wife’s suitcase ought to have made me suspicious. Her insistence that I retrieve my passport for what I assumed would be a routine trip to Southland suddenly made a lot more sense.

The airport car park is one gigantic hedge maze made entirely from sedans. Much like Burke and Wills had done before us if, in fact, they’d been driving a Passat and not a camel, we wandered aimlessly until, by chance, we came across a empty space. Most people would then make a dash for the courtesy bus, but as we always like to arrive at the airport a full twelve hours before our scheduled departure time, my wife decided to put the time to good use and ring our hotel.

Ostensibly, the phone call was to make sure that we could get a transfer from the airport.

Instead, it revealed that we had no booking – something the company organizing our travel arrangements had been informed of some time earlier but had neglected to mention. My wife

viewed it as a disaster. I, on the other hand, viewed it as fate; a giant blinking neon sign telling me to flee the airport on foot.

After my wife administered a small dose of chlorophyll, I woke up in the departure lounge; my limbs splayed and a river of drool that could rival the Euphrates spilling over my chin. Handing me my boarding pass, it was clear that my hour of reckoning had arrived and it was time to climb aboard. I took both a deep breath and some prescription medication and staggered towards the check-in desk.

We were flying Jetstar. Better still, we were flying business class with Jetstar. I have rarely flown business class, so I’ve not really got anything to compare it to, but it did make me

wonder what kind of business they’re referring to. Corner milk bar? Possibly. One of those pop-up shops that sells dodgy DVDs and then disappears overnight? Quite likely. But even small business class was still a great surprise as we took our seats nearer to the pointy end of the plane than I’d anticipated.

My wife was to my right. To my left was a young man. I’m not sure how’d I’d describe him. On the one hand, it’s wrong to judge a person on the basis of their appearance. On other, I feel we can all agree that blonde dreadlocks never work. Never ever. At an airport, nothing screams ‘bag search’ to customs staff quite like blonde dreadlocks. But this young man had a very serious set of blonde dreadlocks.

It began before even the in-flight safety demonstration. When the drinks tray arrived at our row, the young man who (for ease of reference) I shall refer to as ‘Dreadlock Holiday’ motioned to the flight attendant to go no further. After a moment of confusion, he made it clear that the attendant was free to go; but that he should leave the drinks tray and its entire contents behind. I’d say for ‘safekeeping’, but nothing could be further from the truth. It quickly became apparent that this young man was a threat to the existence of every beverage within a fiftymetre radius. It was as though he was attempting to drink his way to freedom.

Once the flight began, Dreadlock Holiday began to methodically extract every ounce of value out of the nine-hour flight to Thailand he could. It wasn’t possible for a flight attendant to get past him without having their sleeve tugged by the thirsty young man in dreadlocks. He was incredibly polite; always saying ‘please’, ‘thank you’ along with more practical statements such as ‘fill her up’. As the flight progressed, he began to balance out his consumption by drinking water after every eight or nine standard drinks.

To ensure that he made the most of the situation, he also began stuffing water bottles into his backpack.

I watched on, not in disdain but admiration.

Here was I, anxious beyond description; nervously counting down to the moment I reconnected with terra firma. Dreadlock Holiday, on the other hand, was treating the event as though it was New Year’s Eve. It kind of put all my worrying into perspective. As we finally arrived at our destination, I headed off with my wife and watched the young man stagger off into the distance, no doubt to have his luggage searched by customs. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

space is valuable. I would like to point out that Mr McComb admits that his name is missing from subscription lists issued in connection with movements for the welfare of Frankston.

He excuses himself by saying – “If lists are not presented, how can one’s name be seen?” Well thought out.

Then he quibbles about the difference between a cemetery and a reserve.

Perhaps he will be able to arrive at a correct conclusion when he has digested the dictionary he has swallowed.

He refers to the price of wood which presumably comes under the heading of “High cost of living.” I suppose his next will be a query as to what width of tyre should be placed on perambulators, and so on.

I might state at once that as to the clearing of the Frankston cemetery, the matter is one for him to mind his own business.

Does he think he is deputed special officer to take charge of the affairs of the Frankston cemetery? His actions point that way.

He has lodged his protest re what he terms “destruction,” so let us see what becomes of it.

Mr McComb is only one of hundreds interested in the cemetery, and he is the only one I have heard adversely criticise the work that has been carried out.

Yours &c., F. W. WELLS. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 2 August 1919

years the deceased lady took a keen interest in all matters affecting the welfare of the community.

She possessed marked organising ability, and held decided views on all matters of moment.

Her sound common sense and good keen judgment caused her counsel to be sought frequently in matters relating to the public weal.

Of extremely charitable disposition the late Mrs Gregory did much good by stealth as many a needy family throughout the Peninsula could testify.

She was a liberal supporter of the Melbourne Children’s Hospital, and many of the charitable organisations of the State will miss her ready and cheerful assistance.

In her home life, Mrs Gregory was an ideal wife and mother, being one to whom the ties of home and family strongly appealed.

Her death has been a sad blow to the bereaved husband, Mr A. H. Gregory, and family and general sympathy is extended to them in their dark hour.

The private interment of the remains of the deceased lady took place in the Frankston cemetery on Saturday last. *** OUR LETTER BOX. MR WELLS’ REJOINDER. TO THE EDITOR.

Sorrento step up to top place DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn PINES have let top spot on the ladder slip out of their grasp after a defeat to Frankston YCW on Saturday.

The Stonecats hosted the Pythons, and came into the contest desperate for a win. The powerhouse club has suffered all year with inconsistent form, and needed a victory to stay in the mix for a finals berth.

Pines got off to the better start, and went into the half time break in the box seat. Up by 21 points at half time, the reigning premiers looked in a good position to go on and claim a win.

YCW looked like a different side after half time, racing out of the blocks to take Pines by surprise. Pines were held scoreless in the third term, and conceded four unanswered goals.

The Stonecats were up by a goal heading into the final quarter, and kept up the barrage. They put another five goals on the board before the final siren rang.

A poor second half from Pines saw them fall to a defeat against Frankston YCW 14.8 (92) to 11.7 (73).

Josh Butland and Luke Paynter played a big part, kicking four goals each for YCW. Paynter was judged best on ground.

The result was the only Division One seniors game decided by over two goals this weekend.

With Pines having lost, Sorrento had a chance to claim top spot on the ladder if they defeated the Frankston Bombers.

Down to the wire: After trailing all day, Bonbeach made a final quarter comeback to claim the win against Mt Eliza. Picture: Andrew Hurst

The Bombers ran out to an early lead, but the Sharks quickly bit back.

Frankston Bombers chances of victory were extinguished by their poor performance in front of goals. They had the bulk of the scoring opportunities but were too inaccurate to make Sprrento

pay.

The Sharks had to work for it, but claimed top spot with a 15.7 (97) to 12.1 (89) win over the Bombers.

Leigh Poholke had a good day for the Sharks, booting five goals. Poholke has enjoyed another good year, and has 59

goals to his name this season. Jake Di Pasquale also helped with a three goal effort, while Ethan King also played well for Sorrento.

Jarrad Grant continued his good goalscoring form for Frankston, scoring three majors.

At the other end of the ladder, bottom placed Mornington hosted Rosebud.

The Bulldogs went into the game two wins behind ninth place. A win could prove vital in helping them secure survival in Division One. Rosebud on the other hand look to have improved on their 2018 season which saw them struggle.

The Bulldogs showed plenty of bite early, and established a narrow early lead. Rosebud kept touch in a hard fought, high scoring first half, but the Bulldogs looked up for the challenge.

Mornington went into half time up by fourteen points.

The Buds weren’t willing to take the loss lying down, and kept in touch in the second half. Just nine points separated the two sides heading into the final quarter, with the game poised to go down to the wire.

Both sides gave their all in the final quarter, and when the final siren sounded just one point was the difference between the two teams. Mornington were able to hold on to secure a thrilling, and important, win over Rosebud 17.11 (113) to 17.10 (112).

Jackson Calder made a massive impact for Mornington, booting five goals.

The haul took his tally for the year beyond 50. Adrian Speedy was also more

than handy, continuing his good form with a four goal effort.

Mornington now sit just four points behind Edithvale-Aspendale, who travelled to take on Dromana.

Edi-Asp started well with a five goals to one first quarter, and looked like they might pull off an upset. Dromana normally perform well at home, but were faced with a lot of hard work to get back in contention.

Dromana performed a little better in the second quarter, and were able to keep the game competitive. They closed the gap to 14 points by half time, and closed it even further to five points by three-quarter-time.

Despite leading all day, Edi-Asp were overrun by an impressive Dromana outfit. The final score read Dromana 10.13 (73) to Edithvale-Aspendale 9.12 (66).

Same Fowler was best on ground with three goals.

There was another thriller at Emil Madsen Reserve, as Bonbeach pulled off a brilliant come from behind win against Mt Eliza.

The Redlegs led at every break of play, and were in control of the contest up by 16 at three-quarter time.

A four goals to one final term saw the Redlegs throw away their lead. Bonbeach claimed the four points with a hard fought 11.5 (71) to 11.9 (75) win.

Trent Dennis-Lane was at his brilliant best, scoring six goals for the second week running.

Frankston Times

By Brodie Cowburn KARINGAL have suffered their second loss for the year after a shock defeat against Langwarrin.

The ladder leading Bulls were put on the back foot early by the Kangaroos. A strong first half performance saw Langwarrin hop out to a 17 point lead by half time.

Karingal maintained pressure in the third quarter, but couldn’t close the gap enough to threaten Langwarrin.

The Kangaroos were impressive all day and eventually secured a much deserved win.

Langwarrin messed with the Bulls, and took them by the horns. The final score read Langwarrin 14.16 (100) to Karingal 10.8 (68).

Marc Holt was held scoreless, which played a big part in Langwarrin getting the win. He has nine goals in his last five games. He scored 29 in his first five games of the year.

Red Hill were able to get back to top of the ladder after defeating Rye at Red Hill Recreation Reserve.

Rye struggled all afternoon, as Red Hill put on yet another defensive masterclass. The Demons were held to just two goals all day.

Zach Vnes doubled Rye’s score on his own, booting five goals for the Hillmen. They claimed the victory 15.7 (97) to 2.3 (15).

At Chelsea Reserve, the Chelsea claimed an entertaining win over Hastings.

Brendan Fevola played in a rare away game for the Blues, but he was

Victory slipped through their fingers: Despite having Fevola on the ground, Hastings went down to a rampaging Chelsea.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

upstaged by Chelsea talisman Curtis Bywater. Fevola booted five goals for the Blues, but Bywater had a mammoth haul of nine goals.

Both sides traded blows all day, and Hastings went into the final term up by eight. A seven goals final quarter helped Chelsea claim the win 16.17 (113) to 15.8 (98).

At Bunguyan Reserve, Tyabb se-

cured a win over Devon Meadows.

The Yabbies have improved from last year, and had to work hard to claim the win in the scrappy contest.

In a low scoring affair, Michael Altenkirch’s bag of five goals proved the difference. The Yabbies defeated the Panthers 9.10 (64) to 6.12 (48).

Around the grounds, Pearcedale’s woes this season continued against

Somerville. Somerville claimed the four points with a 19.14 (128) to 8.8 (56) win.

Crib Point also had another bad week. They were smashed by Seaford 22.19 (151) to 4.6 (30). Aaron Walton booted eight goals for the Tigers. He has 57 for the year, and is closing in on Karingal’s Marc Holt on the goal kicking leaderboard.

Southern’s Jowett joins US college SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie MILLA Jowett of Southern United flew out of Melbourne on Friday to start a two-year scholarship at Sussex County Community College in New Jersey.

The US college announced recently that it had signed the 19-year-old defender who is expected to make an immediate impact in the starting 11 for Sussex Skylanders.

Coaches Frank Vernacchio and Michael Rath have been touting Jowett as one of a number of key recruits who they hope can propel the college’s women’s soccer program all the way to the NJCAA National Championship Tournament.

Jowett is a former Peninsula Strikers player who has been coaching a junior girls side at Mount Martha.

She would have been proud of her ex-teammates at Southern last weekend when they gave one of their best displays of the season only to go down 3-0 to Bayside United at Monterey Reserve.

With injured player-coach Melissa Maizels organising and encouraging them from the technical area and a sometimes raucous dugout Southern’s players gave a spirited and committed display and created two gilt-edged chances in the second half but couldn’t convert.

It took Bayside until the 28th minute to break Southern’s defensive barrier and the opener came from a corner that Emma Runnalls headed home firmly.

Five minutes later Cristina Cardaci’s run was superbly synced with a well-weighted and directed Runnalls’ through ball and Cardaci got clear and poked the ball past advancing Southern keeper Celia Kelsall to make it 2-0.

In the 60th minute one of the best players on the pitch, teenage Southern central defender Sarah Tebbutt, slid down at the near post when trying to clear a corner and deflected the ball past Kelsall to make it 3-0.

In the 76th minute a poor back pass was pounced on by Southern’s US import Jennifer Lum but advancing Bayside keeper Midori Arai spread herself well to block Lum’s attempt to knock the ball in behind her.

Southern’s best chance was engineered by Lum 10 minutes later when she dinked the ball over the head of the last defender for substitute Claudia Beissmann to run onto only to send a well-struck volley fractionally over the bar.

Southern’s under-19s lost 4-0 to Bayside, the under-16s went down 3-1 with India Scarr scoring for Southern while the under-14s lost 2-0.

Some Southern sides played catch-up

games last week with the seniors losing to Box Hill United while the under-16s fought back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Heidelberg United 4-2 thanks to a Talia Palmer hat-trick and a Rhys McKenna goal.

The under-14s beat Heidelberg United 2-1 with goals from Eden Mckeown and Erica-Derrick Sarfo-Sarpong.

In NPL2 news Langwarrin had to settle for a point in a 1-1 draw away to Box Hill United on Saturday.

Javier Marangos put Box Hill ahead in the 72nd minute but a Max Etheridge header six minutes later tied it up.

Luke Burgess returns to the Langy matchday squad next week after suspension.

In State 1 news Mornington downed Warragul United 2-1 at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday.

Youngster Kyron Kerr was instrumental in the opening goal when he won the ball in midfield in the 9th minute and surged forward.

His attempt to release Sammy Orritt on the left was blocked but the ball fell to Liam Baxter who calmly struck it past Warragul keeper Liam Andersen.

Ten minutes later Orritt made it 2-0 with a goal-of-the-season contender.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

He cut in from the left then unleashed a stunning strike from just outside the area that nestled in the top far corner of goal.

The second half wasn’t even a minute old when Kane Bentley lost possession and Warragul stormed down the left.

The ball was played to the near post where Paul Kuol was unmarked and he controlled it with his first touch then thumped it past Mornington keeper Taylor Davidson to make it 2-1.

Both sides had chances to add to the scoreline and Mornington eventually kept the visitors at bay during a frantic final few minutes.

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers hung on for a 2-2 away draw with Heatherton United on Saturday night.

Strikers could have put this one to bed in the first half with two superb Danny Brooks free-kicks giving them a two-goal cushion while John Prescott missed chances to make the lead insurmountable.

An Oscar Marsden own goal in the 52nd minute brought the home team back into the contest and Mario Hofmann made it 2-2 in the 63rd minute.

Heatherton had chances to win comfortably but couldn’t convert.

In State 3 news Skye United’s promotion push suffered a setback with a 3-1 away loss to Bayside Argonauts last weekend.

Skye’s sole response came from a second half penalty converted by Daniel Walsh.

Senior coach Phil McGuinness and his men face a formidable foe in ladder leader Collingwood City at Kevin Bartlett Reserve on Friday night in what looms as a must-win contest for the local side.

Frankston Pines lost 3-2 away to South Yarra last weekend despite leading 2-0 after 14 minutes thanks to goals from Joe O’Connor and CJ Hodgson.

South Yarra’s winner arrived in the 90th minute.

In State 4 news Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United enjoyed its biggest win of the season when it hammered Keysborough 8-0 at Coomoora Reserve on Saturday.

Seaford striker Mitch Lander was out injured and his place was taken

by Conor Mcfall who set up Jeremy Schwellinger in the 13th minute and his well-placed volley made it 1-0.

Four minutes later Mcfall was the receiver when Dylan Waugh played the ball over the top and Mcfall ran through and slotted home the second.

Two minutes before half-time Jeremy Schwellinger broke down the right and drew out Keysborough keeper Bobby Pejkovic before centring to Waugh who tapped the ball into an open goal.

In the 59th minute Mcfall again proved his worth as he picked out Waugh with a long diagonal ball.

Waugh rounded the stopper with his first touch and finished well with his non-preferred right foot to make it 4-0.

Two minutes later Waugh notched his second consecutive hat-trick when he headed home a Matthias Schwellinger cross.

In the 74th minute the Schwellinger brothers combined with Jeremy’s corner picking out Matthias at the top of the box and his shot through the crowded defence made it 6-0.

Thomas Pollock was making his first senior appearance of the season and in the 84th minute his volley made it 7-0.

In the 87th minute a mistimed goalkick landed at Mcfall’s feet and he controlled the ball before striking a shot that caught Pejkovic off his line to put a full stop on a scoreline that the gloveman no doubt would rather forget.

Baxter drew 1-1 away from home with FC Noble Hurricanes.

Lawrence Komba and Lewis Gibson should have given Baxter a half-time lead but the home team hit the front in the 65th minute when Nicholas Phae-

donos converted from the penalty spot.

A Charlie Jones shot from just inside the box shortly after made it 1-1 but the visitors suffered a setback when Izaak Baar was sent off in the 68th minute and another penalty awarded.

Despite a retake Baxter keeper James Foster held his nerve and the second attempt struck the post then the shot from the rebound was saved by the young custodian.

In the dying moments the 10 men had the best chance of winning when Komba rounded the keeper but sent his shot wide of the target much to the dismay of the Baxter bench and supporters.

In State 5 news Somerville Eagles took an important step towards the title by coming from behind to beat Aspendale Stingrays 3-1 at Tyabb Central Reserve on Saturday.

Anthony Segavac broke the deadlock in the 48th minute but goals from substitute Daniel Hodge and star striker Mark Pagliarulo in the 58th and 61st minutes gave the home side the upper hand and a customary Dave Greening finish in the 72nd minute settled the matter.

A shock 3-1 loss to Casey Comets has put pressure on second-placed Old Mentonians to keep pace with ladder leader Somerville despite having two games in hand.

But Football Victoria’s fixturing may give Old Mentonians an advantage as they will play their second catch-up match a few days after the last official round of the season knowing exactly what needs to be done if they remain in the title race.

Somerville is expected to contact the governing body about this matter.

Rosebud and White Star Dandenong shared the spoils in a six-goal thriller at Greaves Reserve last weekend.

Chris Parry (2) and Beau Sharpe scored for Rosebud who went into the clash a pronounced underdog.

This weekend’s games: FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Collingwood City v Skye Utd (Kevin Bartlett Reserve), Frankston Pines v Ashburton Utd (Centenary Park).

SATURDAY, 3pm: Langwarrin v Werribee City (Lawton Park), Richmond v Mornington (Kevin Bartlett Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Knox City (Centenary Park), Seaford Utd v Noble Park Utd (North Seaford Reserve), Baxter v Keysborough (Baxter Park), Somerville v White Star Dandenong (Tyabb Central Reserve), Rosebud v Knox Utd (Olympic Park), Aspendale Stingrays v Hampton Park Utd (Jack Grut Reserve).

A moment of gloom? Or caught the winter blues?

Winter is well and truly here.

For some of us, that means hot chocolates, cosy nights by the fireplace and weekends under the doona binge watching Netflix.

But for many of us, it means long, dreary days – and feelings of lethargy and sadness. If this sounds familiar, you may be susceptible to the ‘Winter Blues’, also known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

SAD is a mood disorder that typically hits at wintertime every year. As the name suggests, a person suffering from SAD will feel particularly gloomy during the colder months.

While the shorter, darker days can take a toll on us all, a person suffering from SAD will struggle to stabilise their mood and find joy in activities they used to like.

Some specific symptoms of SAD include oversleeping, constantly craving carbs, feeling heavy in your limbs and losing interest in intimacy.

Sunlight plays a crucial role in regulating our hormones. When we get less sunlight in winter, our bodies produce less melatonin – the all-important hormone that controls our sleep-wake cycles.

Reduced sun exposure also limits our production of serotonin, which affects our mood, appetite and sleep patterns. The lack of sunlight can also disrupt our body clock.

This combination of imbalanced hormones

begin.

3. Increase exercise and social interaction Exercising and spending time with friends can do wonders for your mood. So why not combine the two by going for a run or short walk with a friend?

While it might take some extra effort to get active during winter, it’s exactly when your body needs that special boost of endorphins.

4. Chase sunshine

Literally. If you see sunshine outside, soak it up! and a jolted body clock can lead to SAD.

It’s common to feel a bit bluer during the cooler months. But how do you know when your gloom is cause for concern?

If you can relate to at least four of the following symptoms during winter, you may suffer from SAD: Signs include feeling less energetic, needing more sleep, craving sweets and starches more often, gaining weight, consistently feeling down in the dumps, performing poorly at work and in other activities, and wanting to withdraw socially.

Ultimately, the tipping point is when your mood stops you from enjoying life. If you’re unable to complete your usual daily activities because of your sad state, then it’s probably time to talk to a professional.

If you think you have SAD, your first step should be seeing a psychologist.

A professional can give you specialised advice and develop a treatment plan tailored to you. In the meantime, here are

some things you can do to reduce your SAD symptoms.

1. Take melatonin supplements

A natural hormone produced in the brain, melatonin helps control your daily sleep cycles. But our bodies tend to make less melatonin during the shorter, darker days, making us feel gloomier and grumpier.

To correct this imbalance, you can try taking melatonin supplements. Research reveals that melatonin can help improve your sleep and mood. Make sure you speak to your GP first.

2. Get a light therapy box

The best available treatment for SAD is light therapy. That’s where you expose yourself to artificial light from a light therapy box (available online with prices ranging from $50 – 150).

It’s a great way to increase your body’s production of melatonin and serotonin.

Be sure to consult your GP before you

It doesn’t have to be for long. But just a little exposure to sun in the overcast months can improve your mood greatly. If you have to stay indoors, try sitting by a window to let the sunshine hit your body.

5. Practice relaxation or mindfulness techniques

We know that mindfulness can help decrease depressive symptoms, while improving our overall health.

Practising relaxation or mindfulness techniques can be a great tool to cope with Winter Blues. Even 10 minutes a day can improve your cognition and self-regulation.

All you need is a comfortable space and quiet environment.

PARC - State of the art and industry leading

Located in the heart of Frankston, Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC) is focused on delivering exceptional health and fitness experiences to the local community.

Left: The PARC team celebrates their win at the annual ARV awards.

They pride themselves on being experts in aquatics, recreation and fitness by focusing on community engagement and innovation alongside a reputation for delivering exceptional service.

PARC is managed by Peninsula Leisure Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Frankston City Council, an organisation formed to maximise the community benefit derived from PARC, ensuring that everyone in Frankston has the opportunity to be active.

PARC and Peninsula Leisure continue to lead the industry and in doing so have received a total of nine industry awards since opening in September 2014.

More recently PARC won the Best Health Club category at the Annual Aquatics & Recreation Victoria awards night held last month. The state-level accolade comes following the introduction of many new initiatives and improvements within PARC’s

gym and group exercise program during 2018.

The new initiatives and improvements included:

n New group exercise class timetable n New gym equipment

n New online booking system for group exercise classes n New virtual fitness classes

n Updated and improved programs, including PowerZone, Active Movers and Strong for

Life

n Support and involvement in 17 local community events

n Improved welcome process for new members n Expanded free foreshore yoga program Peninsula Leisure CEO Tim Gledhill said the industry acknowledgement was a great reward for Frankston City Council, the committed and passionate PARC team, and for

the members, guests and local community PARC serves. “We are thrilled to be recognised as industry leaders. At PARC we are focused on providing exceptional experiences for all our members and guests, so we regularly ask for feedback and have solid processes in place to capture and act on it,” said Tim. “This informs the indepth understanding we have of what members and guests want – and has meant the big changes made have been very warmly welcomed.” PARC’s Head of Health & Fitness Shannon Mounsey said the hard work of the team had been reflected in high member satisfaction results in surveys completed during and after the changes.

“Attendances also increased, most noticeably at two times of the year – firstly after the new group fitness timetable began and again when the new online booking system was introduced.

And ultimately that’s what PARC is all about, inspiring more people to be physically active.”

There were 342,301 visits to the PARC health club and 155,247 attendances at group exercise classes during 2018.

PARC leads the industry by implementing the latest programs and technology, allowing for health and fitness goal tracking, convenience of online booking and a significant investment in maintaining the greatest equipment to elevate customer experience.

PARC offers more than 300 group fitness classes a week, including instructor-lead and virtual. Convenient and flexible booking options are available via the PARC mobile app, website, in-Centre or through social channels. Now named one of the most connected clubs in Australia, PARC recently replaced 95 per cent of existing gym equipment with state-ofthe-art connected strength and cardio equipment to ensure members can track their goals and performance.
