Mayors sign up for city fix Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au THE mayor of Frankston and five former mayors are blaming the city’s woes on 40 years of broken promises by state politicians.

In a letter to the Premier Denis Napthine and Labor leader Daniel

Andrews the mayors vividly describe crime and drug use in Young St and say there is “never any substantial action” no matter which party is in power.

The mayors say $3 million has been wasted on three reports.

The most costly reportrecommended spending $600,000 developing a “safe

and attractive transit interchange”.

Pointedly, the mayors left Frankston MP Geoff Shaw off their mailing list.

The former Liberal now independent has been suspended from parliament until September over the misuse of his government car.

Both the Labor and Liberal parties will hoping to win the marginal seat

at the November election.

Christine Richards (mayor in 2010) said it was hoped the leaders of the two major parties would come to Frankston “to start a dialogue with us”.

Other former mayors lining up with the current council leader Darrel Taylor are Colin Hampton (2009), Kris-

topher Bolam (2011), Brian Cunial (2012) and Sandra Mayer (2013).

The mayors say the key to Frankston’s future lies with “a safe and attractive transit interchange that can accommodate travellers from throughout the Mornington Peninsula”.

Continued from Page 1 The mayor’s say Frankston’s problems with the drug ice are compounded by six pharmacies dispensing heroin substitutes within 500 metres of the railway station.

They say the situation makes it easy for the Health Department but not for “others who use Frankston’s streets for whom the policy does not work - commuters; shoppers; businesses - and the local leaders advocating on their behalf”.

“Unquestionably, drug addicts need to be treated discreetly and humanely. However, at the moment the system is tipped too far in their favour,” the mayors state in their letter to the political leaders, suggesting dispensing pharmacies be a minimum one kilometre apart.

“For 40 years state governments have directed that Frankston’s station precinct be improved. For 40 years, the bureaucrats have not complied. And for 40 years Frankston has languished.”

Ms Richards said one of the three reports – “a secret document” – had been sitting on the desk of Planning Minister Matthew Guy for more than 12 months.

Councillors had been shown the May 2012 report in but were not allowed to keep copies.

Ms Richards said she had been able to obtain the report – Frankston Activities Area Urban Renewal Program Strategy, prepared by Places Victoria for the FAA Project Control Board - for two and a half hours during which time she made 16 pages of notes.

Frankston will thrive and take its rightful place as the capital of the Mornington Peninsula’

She said the report concluded that the Frankston Activities centre was “socially and economically disadvantaged” and suffered from a “widely held perception” that it was “unsafe and is a poor location to invest”.

The report showed that the government’s $3 million election promise had been spent producing a Structure Plan, the Urban Renewal Program Strategy and the “pathetic” Transit Interchange Masterplan.

Outside of the Bayside shopping centre shop and office vacancies were high and rents low.

The report said Frankston residents were more fearful than other Victorians; earned about 20 per cent less than residents in other activity centres; and endured a crime rate 30 per cent above the state average.

The situation would not change without investment by the state government.

This “investment” to “redress 20 years of socio-economic decline” was set at $46 million in the first five years followed by $108 million over the following decade.

The report estimated the return on investment at more than $1 billion in private sector spending, 7430 jobs, 7420 new residents and 3610 new

residential dwellings.

“With correct intervention, Frankston will thrive and take its rightful place as the capital of the Mornington Peninsula, making a significant contribution to the local, metropolitan, and state based economy,” the report stated.

Ms Richards said state government bureaucrats were holding the city back: “A 15 year strategy to renew Frankston’s city centre proves that democracy in Frankston is in tatters.

The document has been prepared for a committee of unelected bureaucrats behind closed doors.”

“Decisions are being made by the state in the name of Frankston but it’s not talking to councillors.

They’re being ignored by the bureaucrats.

“The greatest impediment to the progress of Frankston is its train station. No policy maker or politician in Frankston could fail to hear it. Yet the development of a safe and attractive transit interchange is presently missing from the draft [report].”

Mr Bolam, in a separate letter to The Times, said the state government’s announcement of $13 million to revamp the Frankston railway precinct “was disappointing”.

“Despite the explicit will of both the Frankston Council and the wider Frankston community to relocate the bus terminus and taxi rank from Young St to Fletcher Rd in order to ease congestion, and to spread the movement of human traffic, the government has instead gone with a cheap and rudimentary funding route.”

Chaos reigns as wild winds wreak havoc Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON and the Mornington Peninsula bore the brunt of last week’s fierce wind storm which damaged homes, cut power supplies and created havoc for commuters as train services were suspended and major roads closed to traffic.

Dozens of trees and power lines were brought down by wind gusts of up to 122km/h as an icy storm front labelled by the Bureau of Meteorology as a “winter weather bomb” blasted the state’s south-east on Tuesday.

Emergency services were stretched to the limit clearing roads, rail lines and homes from fallen trees, branches and other debris, while police were kept busy responding to chaos on the roads.

Frankston SES controller Phil Holt said the Frankston and peninsula region had been been hit especially hard.

“Additional crews from around the state have been directed here to help clear up the backlog of jobs,” Mr Holt said.

“We had about 300 calls for assistance in the Frankston area and there was a similar number on the peninsula.”

Coastal regions were especially hard hit, with huge swells combining with a high tide and driving wind and rain to the foreshore region.

The Nepean Highway was awash at the bottom of Oliver’s Hill as waves crashed over the retaining wall and flooded the car park area and roadway, while Frankston pier was also damaged.

“I’ve lived in Frankston all my life and I’ve never seen the water that high,” Mr Holt said.

More than 10,000 properties were left without

power across the peninsula region, with about 700 homes in Frankston affected.

United Energy spokesman Damien Batey said the region had “felt the brunt of the extreme weather”.

Among the suburbs to experience sustained power interruptions were Frankston South, Hastings, Balnarring, Bittern and Sorrento, he said.

“A substantial number of the interruptions across the region were single premise, customer outages,” Mr Batey said. “The worst damage done by the storm occurred between 10 and 11.30am on Tuesday when extreme winds lashed the region.

“We also had some customers experience outages of longer than 20 hours on the peninsula. We apologise for the inconvenience and as an act of good we are accelerating the compensation payments they would typically only receive on an annual basis.

“Our crews worked tirelessly and in difficult conditions to restore power and we are very grateful for their efforts.”

Police described the situation on roads as “hectic”, especially after fallen power lines forced the closure of the Nepean Highway at Currum for about three hours in the early afternoon.

The situation went from bad to worse when a number of level crossings between the Nepean Highway and Station St from Edithvale to Seaford were put out of action by electrical faults.

Things were no better for rail passengers, with trains suspended on the Frankston line between Moorabbin and Carrum in the early afternoon for about three hours after a tree fell onto the tracks at Highett. Train services were thankfully restored on the Frankston line ahead of the afternoon peak.

Power to the people’s music Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE People Place Music Club’s ‘Big as Texas Concert’ is getting bigger each year. Organiser Jamez Harrison said preparations for the fourth annual concert to be held next month are well underway.

Mr Harrison said five peninsula music clubs get together each year for a good old fashioned hoedown.

“The concert features a mixture of porch music, folk, blues, country music and basically all kinds of music,” he said.

The bill includes The Chris Newman Show, Veranda Music Club, Peninsula Folk Club, Fathers of the Chapel, Berwick Music Club and The People Place Music Club members.

The People Place Music Club - much like Cuba’s legendary Buena Vista Social Club - is a welcoming place for musicians to meet and exchange ideas, play together and encourage the less experienced to get up on stage.

“We have had everything from carpenters ‘playing’ hacksaws to 90-yearold strippers,” Mr Harrison said.

It is to be hoped the two acts do not share a stage at the same time for health and safety reasons.

The club was established 15 years ago and Mr Harrison, a livewire 60 year old, has been involved for the past four years after retirement.

“I love it – it’s a great way to meet so many enthusiastic people who have talent in musical spades.”

He also volunteers to visit nursing homes and psychiatric institutions to

“try to cheer people up” by playing banjo, piano, keyboards and several other instruments.

He’s a veritable one-man band and force of cheerful nature.

“I also go busking in Frankston. I haven’t got much money but I’ve been very blessed in life,” Mr Harrison said.

“Much as I love Judge Judy, I couldn’t face sitting at home every day watching daytime TV after I retired.” Tickets for The People Place Music Club’s ‘Big As Texas’ concert to be held on Sunday 20 July, 1pm-4.30pm at Mahogany Neighbourhood Centre, 26 Mahogany Ave, Frankston North

are available for $8 each (concessions $6).

Call 9786 1445. All proceeds go to the peninsula music clubs to help with running costs.

Man crushed by 2 tonne lathe A 56-year-old Frankston South man was seriously injured when a 2 tonne metal lathe fell on top of him.

Police said the man had been attempting to unload the bulky lathe from the back of a trailer in the driveway of his Towerhill Rd home about 11.30am on Thursday when it fell over on top of him.

The man had just purchased the lathe and was transporting it back to his home in a hire trailer.

“For some reason, yet to be established, he removed the trailer from the car then got in the rear of the trailer,” Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb of Frankston Police said.

“The trailer tipped up, the lathe slipped, hit the man, and pinned him across his pelvis.

“He was air lifted to the Alfred Hospital with serious injuries. His condition is stable.”

Frankston SES controller Phil Holt it had taken more than 45 minutes to remove the lathe from on top of the man due to “penetrating injuries”.

“It was a complicated operation for our crew because of the weight of the object and also because part of it had penetrated the victim,” Mr Holt said.

“He was still inside the trailer, pinned between the bed of the trailer and the lathe, and was there for about 15 minutes before we arrived.

“He was conscious throughout the operation but obviously in a fair amount of pain. We’re not sure of the extent of his injuries but they don’t appear to have been lethal.

“He’s certainly a very lucky man.

He could easily have been killed.”

Councillor seeks Labor tilt at seat Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Mums united: (from left) Lauren Waixel, Jaclyn Emmett, Stacey Jones, Jacinta Skelly and Jodie Forster attended this month’s council meeting to make their views known on the kindergartens enrolment ballot system. Picture: Gary Sissons

Mums make case for change PARENT power has forced Frankston Council to reconsider its kinder enrolment system.

More than 700 people signed a petition demanding council look again at the contentious central enrolment process that sees three and four-year old children allocated to kindergartens randomly if there are no places available at a family’s first choice.

Mums Stacey Jones and Jodie Forster presented the petition to councillors at last week’s council meeting.

Ms Jones said the ballot system was unfair since children who attended a three-year-old kinder were not guaranteed a place at the same kindergarten when they turned four.

“These children are placed back in the ballot system, which is essentially the same as randomly selecting names from a hat,” she said. “If not selected, these children will be allocated a position in a different and unfamiliar kinder.”

The duo noted other councils had introduced a zoning and points based system to deal with oversubscription at specific kindergartens.

This meant children had a greater chance of being accepted into a kindergarten closer to home and would likely go to the same kinder as older siblings.

They said kindergartens would struggle to build a sense of community under the ballot system.

“Imagine the struggle kindergartens will have to get continued support from attending families when their children may change kinders from year to year,” Ms Jones said.

Councillors agreed to review the ballot system by the end of this year by consulting all families concerned. There is a possibility a ‘siblings clause’ may be introduced ensuring families do not have to send their children to different kindergartens.

Council noted: “85 per cent of eligible families who registered on time for the 2015 kindergarten year for a 4 year old kindergarten place have received an offer at their preferred kindergarten in the first round of offers.”

FRANKSTON councillor James Dooley is the first person to put his hand up to potentially run as Labor’s candidate for Frankston in November’s state election.

Helen Constas suddenly withdrew as the party’s candidate last week after it emerged a 2010 ‘bullying’ claim against her when she was CEO at the Peninsula Community Legal Centre was settled out of court (‘Constas quits as candidate’, The Times, 23/6/14).

Cr Dooley said the Labor Party had to go through its preselection process to choose a replacement candidate. He said he was sure party apparatchiks would look through his and other candidates’ backgrounds “with a fine tooth comb” before making their decision.

The Frankston councillor has been an ALP member for more than 20 years.

He said improvements in “transport and education” were vital to Frankston’s future and expressed frustration that council was “not being listened to” by the Coalition state government on several fronts.

Cr Dooley said he would push to have the railway line to Baxter electrified if he was fortunate enough to win preselection and contest the Frankston seat.

“That would open up transport options for people in Karingal and Langwarrin to travel into Frankston,” he said. “They’d no longer have

to travel by car and park at the overcrowded train station car park.”

The grade separation at Overton Rd “to make life easier” for Frankston North and Seaford residents and the duplication of Thompsons Rd – an ALP campaign pledge – were also mentioned by Cr Dooley as important projects to be tackled.

He said he would advocate for an improved transport hub at and around Frankston train station, including a bus interchange in Young St. Labor’s candidate and Liberal Party challenger Sean Armistead will try to win the marginal seat from independent MP Geoff Shaw.

An electorate boundary redistribution since the 2010 state election means Mr Shaw holds the seat by an estimated 0.4 per cent margin.

Goosey shows way forward FRANKSTON Dolphins coach Simon Goosey donned the black, white and red last Wednesday afternoon to get down and dirty for a rain-sodden effort for a Dolphins’ Reclink game.

The legendary peninsula full forward, who now coaches the Dolphins’ senior side, became an honorary Reclink Dolphin alongside Frankston mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor.

Goosey went on to play for the Reclink team but Cr Taylor did not don the boots.

“It would be a quick rotation if I played,” he said.

However, Cr Taylor said council was happy to

help the Reclink side any other way they could.

Reclink is a non-profit organisation which organises sports events for the socially disadvantaged.

“It’s a great initiative – using sports as a way to improve the lives of guys who may also be struggling to overcome drugs or alcohol problems,” Cr Taylor said. “You can see them loving life a bit again and their eyes light up before they take to the field.”

See www.frankstonfc.com.au or call 9783 7888 to enquire about ways to support the Frankston Dolphins Reclink team.

Watchman keeps eye on councillors Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON councillors have been under investigation for the past few months. An independent observer has been shadowing their every move at council meetings to put together a report on their behaviour.

However, the surveillance has been at councillors’ own request. A governance expert has been hired to advise how council meetings can be “more effectively” run.

Maddocks lawyer Mark Hayes has been hired to run the rule over councillors’ conduct as part of a council review of meeting procedures under local governance laws.

The mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, said council had invited Mr Hayes to “come in and see how we ran our meetings so he could get a better understanding of our processes before making recommendations”.

“Council is reviewing its meeting procedures and Maddocks is part of that review,” he said.

Cr Taylor said the way issues such as the presentation of petitions and joint letters to councillors had become “a bit vague” but he did not envisage “dramatic changes” to the way council went about its business.

“It’s all about tightening up things rather than making wholesale changes,” he said.

Maddocks’ website states Mr Hayes “is an acknowledged authority on the

legislation and common law principles peculiar to local government”.

Cr Taylor said Mr Hayes had attended three council meetings and had watched proceeding from the public gallery.

He said it was normal practice for a council to undertake such a review of meeting procedure local law.

This month, neighbouring Kingston Council discussed hiring an independent observer to monitor their meetings to provide advice on councillors’ behaviour but councillors decided against the move.

Councillors had noted Mr Hayes had been tasked with monitoring Frankston Council meetings.

Kingston councillor Rosemary West said she had attended a Frankston Council meeting late last year and had noted the meeting was “really well chaired and it was impeccably polite”.

Cr West said she met Mr Hayes in the public gallery as she was leaving and said he told her he was advising Frankston councillors about their behaviour at meetings.

“If it’s good enough for Frankston Council to have someone come and monitor the conduct at their meetings, I think it should be good enough for us,” she said.

Frankston Council was unable to advise how much Mr Hayes’ expertise would ultimately cost.

A statement from council provided to The Times advised: “This process is ongoing and therefore timeframe and cost have not been finalised.”

Capital idea: Pearcedale Primary school principal Simon Anderson with Education Minister Martin Dixon and Hastings MP Neale Burgess celebrate news of the funding announcement with staff and students at a school assembly last week.

Primary school celebrates $1m bonus PEARCEDALE Primary School teachers, parents and pupils were last week celebrating news they will be receiving almost $1 million dollars in funding from the state government.

Education Minister Martin Dixon last week visited the school with member for Hastings Neale Burgess to announce the school would receive $970,000 under the 2014-15 state budget to improve facilities.

Mr Dixon said that under the funding

deal, the school would be left to decide how best to spending the money, in line with the Coalition’s “commitment to local decision making”.

“This is a welcome announcement for students and teachers at Pearcedale Primary School and the Hastings community,” Mr Dixon said.

“In addition, Pearcedale Primary School has received a Polycom videoconferencing unit, which allows teachers and schools to connect, share

and collaborate over distance with high definition video and audio connections.”

Mr Burgess said Pearcedale’s students and staff could now enjoy first-rate learning and teaching opportunities thanks to the government’s investment.

“I know the local community will welcome this important funding, which will ensure Pearcedale Primary School has the very best facilities for students and staff,” Mr Burgess said.

City looks to health sector for jobs boost Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au

FRANKSTON City’s health sector is booming and the mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor, thinks the time is right for major health organisations to set up shop in the city centre.

“The shift in the industry has been so great it has now overtaken retail trade as the largest employer in Frankston with more than 7000 jobs,” he said.

“Whether it be private health providers or public agencies like the Department of Health or Peninsula Health, there are fantastic opportunities to set up health administration offices in the heart of Frankston’s growing Health and Education Precinct, recently defined under Plan Melbourne.

“Our city has the expertise in this industry and we need more white-collar jobs and more people working in the city centre. These types of organisations are a perfect fit.”

Frankston’s health sector has enjoyed 20 per cent growth in employment and revenue in recent years and by 2016 one-in-every-four jobs in the city is expected to be in the health industry.

“Frankston Private and Peninsula Private hospitals have announced upgrades totalling nearly $100 million, in addition to the $81 million upgrade to Frankston Hospital which is currently under way,” Cr Taylor said.

“With Monash University – Peninsula Campus and Chisholm TAFE offering courses like nursing, physiotherapy, paramedics, occupational therapy, pharmacy, dental and pathology, among others, we have more skilled local people with the expertise to fill these new jobs, and our future health professionals won’t have to travel long distances to study.”

Cr Taylor also said the council would like to work with Monash University to expand its local course offering to include medicine.

“Frankston City's health precinct, which is next to Monash University, provides us enormous opportunities to leverage off the federal government’s proposed $20 billion medical research fund,” he said.

“The establishment of medical research organisations in Frankston will only strengthen the city’s place as a major health and education hub into the future.”

Damned ute MYSTERY surrounds an apparent accident on Peninsula Link in the early hours of Sunday morning (22 June) which left a P-plated Holden ute at the bottom of a dam in Baxter. A member of the public noticed the submerged vehicle near the Baxter-Tooradin Rd off-ramp shortly after midday on Sunday and contacted police, who initially feared the driver may still be inside.

Police search and rescue divers were called in but the vehicle empty. As of Monday, Hastings highway patrol officers had been unable to get in contact with the registered owner of the vehicle. Police said the ute had not been reported stolen. Pictures: Gary Sissons

State pressured for ‘urgent talks’ over public housing Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A DEPUTATION from Frankston Council is for the second time thisa year seeking an urgent meeting with the Minister for Housing to thrash out concerns over public housing.

Councillors are frustrated at the lack of maintenance, serious anti-social behaviour by problem tenants and “deplorable management by the Department of Human Services” – and they want action.

Leading the charge is Cr Glen Aitken, who said the minister, Wendy Lovell, “would be made to listen” to the council’s concerns about anti-social behaviour which had been “going on for years”.

“Problem tenants have for too long caused untold misery to neighbours and massive damage to buildings with taxpayers footing the bill,” he said.

“This is completely unacceptable and DHS must be made to account for allowing this to continue. I have seen lives ruined through the sort of antisocial behaviour that we will be talking about.”

Frankston and surrounding areas have 1906 DHS properties with nearly 1000 in Frankston proper. It is this

heavy weighting of community properties in the one suburb – sometimes two rooming houses in the one street – that is causing problems.

Troublesome tenants are making life difficult for neighbours by trashing houses, screaming and fighting in public, intimidating those who object to their bullying and leaving rubbish and syringes on nature strips and in surrounding gardens.

When forced to leave they are moved to other – often nearby - public housing and the pain and suffering continues. It is this cycle that opponents are hoping to break.

The council will argue that there should be better reporting of problem tenants – as occurs in the private rental sector - so that when DHS inspectors have to be called the lease is deemed to be broken and the offenders evicted.

The councillors want a mechanism put in place whereby DHS checks on its properties more frequently, initiates a stronger reporting system, re-educates delinquent tenants and punishes those who continually transgress. Bad behaviour would be documented and linked to future tenancy applications.

Cr Aitken said he would raise the prospect of punishing offending tenants with fines or even communitybased orders as occurs overseas. “I

know they lock them up in Holland,” he said.

Local action group FUNC – Frankston United Neighbours Connect – has devised what it believes is a winning strategy in the war against problem public housing tenants. “Basically we rally residents together to look after their own streets. They report unsociable behaviour and establish a presence,” said organiser Tracey Hopgood.

The eight-member group has lobbied the council and urged action against troublemaking tenants, generating a groundswell that will be felt in Spring Street.

“We are making headway. We rally all the streets with public housing and get the residents to look after their own street and report any problems,” she said.

Members compile diaries of unlawful behaviour and send each other texts warning of robberies and threatening behaviour.

“We’ve already had positive results in a short time in Daly St which has two rooming houses.”

The group believes it is unfair that Frankston has 39 rooming houses – with possibly another 15 unregistered – and more than one in several streets.

Neighbouring suburbs, such as Casey, has five rooming houses.

“Why is Frankston being saturated,”

Ms Hopgood said.

“If each city had, say, 30, that would be 1200 overall and far more equitable.”

Residents of eight streets reportedly joined FUNC at a public meeting attended by 50 people at McClelland College, Karingal, on May 29.

The group believes the council “should be able to have a say” on where rooming houses are allowed. And – with most tenants being single men - they should not be allowed near schools.

“If the council could say, ‘there’s already one in that street’, then any others would have to be put elsewhere,” Ms Hopgood said. “The same should be for DHS houses.”

Affordability has meant that most rooming houses have been set up in a corridor running from the middle of Frankston towards Frankston East.

A loophole - which stringent planning regulations do not apply to those with fewer than 10 rooms –allows many to escape scrutiny and be established in any street.

Finlay St residents told the meeting about a purpose-built rooming house with nine rooms opening in a street where other rooming houses are already “causing disruptions to safety, health, and the wellbeing of residents”.

The residents felt the situation could

only get worse.

Ms Hopgood said community housing needed to be “better planned and managed. Frankston should be able to say ‘no more, we are full up’.”

Another longtime Frankston resident said the area was being used as “a dumping ground”. He said the biggest problem was an “over-saturation of low income, troubled citizens”.

With drug use a constant problem, Ms Hopgood said eight methadone suppliers based near Frankston station was three times the number in neighbouring cities.

“This far exceeds the amount we need for our area but they are servicing people from other areas, like Dandenong, where the council is trying to clean up its streets,” she said.

“We are such a liveable place, but we are getting overrun.”

Ms Hopgood said her group was not blaming DHS or the council “but we should be working together to combat the problem”.

Frankston mayor Cr Darrel Taylor last month told The Times that Frankston was part of a Rooming House Working Group that included police, DHS, and Consumer Affairs Victoria which was working to establish an improved standard of housing for vulnerable people.

I BELIEVE governments should strive to balance the books when budgeting, but there are just as important things to consider when making decisions.

The most important thing for all future generations is that we actually have a viable and healthy planet to live on. The federal government’s budget and policies seem totally devoid of this concept.

Three major decisions have been made that totally contravene the sustainability of life as we want it on this beautiful planet of ours. The first is the Liberal government’s decision to remove a World Heritage listing from 74,000 hectares of Tasmanian forest. In this age of rapidly diminishing old growth forest and a drastic reduction in wilderness areas and gene bank this is an ignorant and criminal decision.

The second is the axing of the Australian Renewable Energy Association. Renewable energy such as solar, wind and tidal is a beautiful concept and should be encouraged if we are to have a sustainable environment and economy.

Not only does it make perfect sense, it provides jobs and creates employment.

The third is the Liberal government’s support of the coal industry. Personally, I don’t think Australia, or the world, can simply stop using coal overnight. However, the ramifications of an ever increasing coal industry and the ensuing negative effects on the planet are well documented.

Henry Kelsall, former Greens federal and state candidate

Simple solution YOUR article (‘Memorial in doubt’, The Times 16/6/14) makes me wonder if the proposed memorial is solely a tribute to the “fallen� and our service personal, or an ego boost to some people.

As far as the problem of too little space in Davey St is concerned, the service is the most important element. If it needs a focal point, then a simple wooden cross should suffice, near which wreaths could be laid against wooden props erected in the park in a suitable site.

Indeed, it should be possible to erect a simple cenotaph on a plinth with sufficient steps to accommodate wreaths. Low wings could be

LAST week’s storm that swept through Frankston and the peninsula on Tuesday claimed a late victim last Thursday.

A council ute became bogged down on Frankston beach as a result of displaced sand making under-wheel conditions hazardous.

Help was quick to arrive with a digger summoned to claw the ute out of the sand.

Unfortunately it also sank into the beach on its way to help (above).

Council workers got the shovels out and their hands dirty manually digging out both vehicles (right).

added later to record such names considered desirable, similar to the memorial in Ballarat adjacent to the arch.

This would probably cost not a great deal more that the money already allocated and would be quite fitting.

Those responsible could relish a job well done.

Warm start THE Food for All Winter Blanket Appeal is off to an excellent start with three loads of donated blankets and garments delivered to Appeal HQ (All Saints Church Hall) at Rosebud.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the appeal so far, we have been able to get warm blankets and clothing to needy families right now.

Knitted blankets, scarves and beanies take time to complete of course, so donated readymade items have been most welcome.

Knitters unable to afford wool to support the appeal need donated wool however. We would be grateful if anyone with unwanted wool from UFOs please get it working for a good cause by leaving it at the Frankston (or nearest) branch of the Bendigo Bank. Blankets may also be left there.

All donations are provided to needy families identified by St Vincent de Paul, Mornington Peninsula Conference.

Hospital praise IT is my pleasure to let people know what is being done at Frankston Hospital.

I am a cancer patient and over a period of years have been a patient in the oncology ward. For many years the oncology staff have truly struggled to meet all patients’ needs, but treat their patients with the utmost dignity and kindness but they worked in very confined spaces, now I say with delight I had the privilege to see the new oncology department.

It is still in the same building of the hospital, but has had a complete overhaul they can now treat more patients in a more restful area, and the staff have now space to move and I hope time to enjoy their break (not that they ever took them‌).

I personally thank them all.

LOVE THIS HOME

‘Thorncliff’

OLD world living never looked so attractive than this beautiful mid-20th century clinker brick home, found along Cliff Road in sought after Frankston South. With a sense of class and refinement, the property is surrounded by enchanting old world gardens on a 1348 square metre block. The interior has an eye-catching blend of period elegance and modern style, with a superb lounge and dining area featuring a marble framed open fire place, exquisite Wainscot wall panels and English-style troweled ceilings.

In the blackwood timber kitchen are quality appliances by Asko and a stainless-steel stove. There is also an adjoining casual meals area. The main bedroom is also on this downstairs level and enjoys a re-modelled bathroom. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, a separate study and a second bathroom. The private grounds have spacious lawn areas and established trees provide plenty of shade. Neat brick paths lead down to a barbecue and pool area that has a surrounding timber deck, and the final glorious touch is the property’s original residence, which is still in use as a guest house with living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

NEWS DESK Greater need for Black Spot money

Diet a factor in mental health POOR diet choices - and regular consumption of fast food or junk food - closely correlated to mental health issues, a Positive Mental Health forum at Mornington Secondary College was told last week.

This is strongly evident among girls and women, according to associate professor Felice Jacka, of Deacon University. Her work in the field of nutritional psychology is developing an evidence-based public health message for the primary prevention of common mental disorders.

She noted that those with healthy ‘traditional’ diets - like the Mediterranean diet - are about 30 per cent less likely to suffer depression or anxiety.

Jointly run by the Rotary Club of Mornington and Australian Rotary Health, the forum focused on better understanding strategies to address and prevent the onset of mental health issues, including anxiety and depression.

About 230 people at the forum heard from psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg and professor Jane Fisher.

Professor Fisher identified a range of factors affecting women’s mental health during pregnancy, and in the first 12 months after the birth of a child. She said postpartum maternal health could influence early childhood development.

Mental challenge: Michael CarrGregg, Felice Jacka and Jane Fisher discussed issues affecting mental health at the Mornington forum.

She said a stronger mother-child connection, and higher levels of maternal responsivity, was associated with higher infant cognitive ability and lower rates of behavior problems in pre-school children.

Dr Carr-Gregg produced statistics associated with adolescent girls and boys showing an increase in the incidence of teenage girls’ mental health disorders.

They showed that 75 per cent of mental illnesses emerged before the age of 25, and that around 80

per cent of males and 70 per cent of females aged 16-24, with mental disorders, do not seek help.

Dr Carr-Gregg challenged the community to encourage young adults to speak more openly about their emotional health. Substance abuse among boys and self-harm among girls was also discussed.

Club member John Parkinson told the audience: “This is one of the better things our club has conducted in recent years.”

Stephen Taylor

QUESTIONS have been raised over the choice of spend Black Spot funding on an intersection in Mt Eliza when accident statistics show there are more dangerous intersections nearby.

“Several other locations warrant works and should have had a higher priority,” former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Leigh Eustace said.

The shire’s successful bid for $767,000 to build a roundabout at the intersection of Mt Eliza Way with Wimborne and Kenaud avenues was announced last month by Dunkley MP, Bruce Billson.

“This section of Mt Eliza Way is very busy with traffic heading into the village and vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians accessing schools, community facilities, medical services and other local neighbourhoods,” Mr Billson said.

The total cost of the roundabout is estimated at $810,000, with the shire paying the extra $43,000.

Mr Eustace said the decision to fund the roundabout was based on four accidents being recorded at the intersection over four years.

Records show that injuries were sustained in one accident, although people were taken to hospital in three of the four crashed.

Mr Eustace says the people were taken to hospital mainly because they were over 75 years old.

The fourth accident involved a cyclist riding at night without lights.

“This is a wasteful use of precise Commonwealth funds in the times of a budget emergency,” Mr Eustace said.

“Other alternatives were not considered, such as extending the 50 kilometre speed zone just west of the proposed roundabout before the village.”

Mr Eustace said intersections which had seen fatalities and numerous accidents but did not attract Black Spot funding included Tower Rd, Volitans Av and Nepean Highway; Wooralla Drive and Two Bays Rd.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Skeletons of man and child found in Merricks Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR and Mrs A. Aitken left Melbourne on Wednesday by the Loongana for Launceston en route for Hobart, where their future home will be. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale of stock, Wednesday next. A large yarding of cattle and sheep is advertised for. *** MESSRS A. Scott and Co.’s monthly sale at Tanti on Monday next, which will commence at half past 12 o’clock. *** ABOUT seven nominations were received by the Fiinders campaign committee from persons willing to oppose Sir William Irvine. Regret was ex pressed that Mr J. K. McDougall had not nominated. *** A SLIGHT error occurred in the Frankston Brass Band balance sheet, published in our last week’s issue. The total in the expenditure reads £151 1s 11½d. It should read £153 1s 4½d. *** IN our report of the euchre party in connection with the Mornington Progress Association, in our last issue, an error occurred in ascribing the ladies’ first prize (a valuable hand bag) as the gift of Mr A. E. Bates. It should have read as being donated by the president of the association, Mr F. M. Linley. *** DEPOSITORS in the State Savings Bank are reminded by advertisement that the auditor (Mr L. G. Smith) will be in attendance at the Frankston Bank on Wednesday, 8th July, and at

the Mornington Branch on Thursday 9th July, for the annual inspection of passbooks. It is incumbent upon every depositor to produce his passbook at this time. *** MR “Son” Wilson, the popular player of the Mornington football team, met with a very severe accident on Wednesday afternoon last, caused by the axe he was using slipping and inflicting a nasty cut several inches long across his leg. His brother-in-law, Mr W. Wilson, had the misfortune to crush his hand in a bullock wagon two days previously. *** THERE was a good attendance at the picture show, held in the Mornington Mechanics’ Institute, on Friday night last, in aid of the funds of the Mornington football club. On Wednesday night the “Last Days of Pompeii” was screened, and the Mornington Progress Association will annex the profits. *** THE annual demonstration and concert in connection with the Ragged Boys’ Home and Seaside Home at Frankston will be held in the Auditorium, Collins Street, Melbourne, on Monday evening next when a firstclass programme will be presented, consisting of special bioscope pictures, singing by leading artists, and a display by children of the Mission.

The musical portion is under the director ship of Miss Mabel Mattingley. *** THE pair of horses attached to Mr Jacob’s cab, while standing at the Frankston railway station on Monday

last decided to take a trip on their own, and although the wheels were tied, by the time they arrived in Bay street had got up fair speed, but a stop was put to their gallop by Mr R. Dixon, of the Savings Bank, who pluckily ran, clambered up behind and getting on the box, secured the reins and speedily brought the steeds under subjection.

He drove them back to the station, unharmed, much to the delight of the owner. ***

THE skeletons of a man and a child were found on Monday above the high water mark between Merricks and Cole’s Beach. The bones were almost entirely buried in the sand and had lain there for many years.

THE annual meeting of the Tyabb Hall will be held on Wednesday next, when the business will be: To receive and adopt annual report and balance sheet, election of secretary, treasurer, caretaker and committee. *** THE skeletons of a man and a child

were found on Monday above the high water mark between Merricks and Cole’s Beach. The bones were almost entirely buried in the sand. Constable O’Shannassy, of Hastings, unearthed the remains, which had lain there for many years. Alongside the adult skeleton were the remains of a pocket knife, only the bone handle being intact. The discovery was made exactly opposite where at one time there had been an old wreck. The remains were brought to Hastings. *** A MEETING for the purpose of forming a gun club will be held at the Hotel Somerville on Tuesday evening next.

All interested are invited to attend. *** THE secretary of the Frankston Fire Brigade wishes to acknowledge with thanks the sum of £7 ls, being proceeds of Mr Frederick harp’s concert, given in acknowledgment of work done by the brigade at the late bush fires. *** ON Tuesday last Ganger Nicholls discovered several rifle cartridges and dog spikes on the railway line between Frankston and Langwarrin. He informed the police, and Constable McCormick, after a deal of trouble, discovered that the articles had been placed on the line by two boys. The lads were severely cautioned, and it is not likely they will again go in for the same kind of “joke.” *** RESIDENTS in the vicinity of the Frankston Park complain bitterly of the disreputable conduct of some men who use the pavilion as a resting place. They frequently go there drunk,

and indulge in most foul language, not infrequently. One night last week one of the residents had all the pickets torn off his front fence, and was kept awake most of the night by these unseemly brawlers. *** DURING this week the Government Statist, Mr A. M. Laughton, will post about 37,000 cards to the farmers in the wheat and oat growing districts, with the request that they will furnish the area sown with wheat and oats for the present season, and state the quantity of wheat on the farm on the 30th.

As it is a matter of great interest to the public, and to farmers especially, to know the total area under these two important crops, each farmer is requested to fill in his card and return it immediately after the 30th June, so that the information can be compiled and published at the earliest possible date. It is particularly requested that the cards sent to farmers be returned, whether they have sown or not. Schedules are also being sent to the Railway Department, and, by post, to flour mills and wheat stores, with the view of ascertaining the quantities of stocks of wheat and flour on hand at the end of last month,. Holders of wheat in bulk who do not receive a Schedule are requested to communicate with the Government Statist. The Government Statist hopes that all concerned will do their utmost to assist him to make reliable estimates of the area sown and the stocks of wheat and flour on hand, by answering his questions fully and returning the cards and forms promptly.

Why Cinderella wears gumboots and other bull

By Stuart McCullough I’VE often wondered what went wrong. Cinderella was tying one on, having the time of her life at the Ball before the wheels and, more importantly, slipper came off. Until then, the night had been nothing short of a triumph. She’d blitzed Karaoke with a masterful rendition of Two Princes

by The Spin Doctors before crumping herself into oblivion to the sounds of Skrillex. Her dance floor moves caught the eye of a handsome Prince and they were just about to exchange digits when, due to a strictly enforced magical curfew, she had to scarper before her Ford Festiva turned into a pumpkin, taking her e-tag with it. In all that haste, poor Cindy left her shoe behind.

How does anyone manage to lose a shoe? This is either an act of high incompetence or, possibly, not everything in fairy tales should be taken at face value. Given that most fairy tales are fairly old, it’s reasonable to assume that as the story has been told and retold, some exaggeration has crept in. Time, I think, lends itself to embellishment. It can make the mundane heroic or the simple spectacular.

It’s precisely this principle that has seen my ‘Best on Field’ award of a free hamburger from Brammell’s milk bar for the under 9s match between Tyabb and Tootgarook Junior Football Clubs elevated, over many years, to runner up for the Brownlow medal. I doubt Cinderella was wearing a pair of slippers that fateful evening. To lose footwear under those conditions, there’s only one plausible explanation: Cinderella was wearing gumboots.

‘If the shoe fits’ is all well and good when you’re talking about a pair of Bata Scouts but hopeless when it comes to gumboots. As kids, we all had a pair. Mud was all around us and you wouldn’t think of walking anywhere outside without your gumboots.

In the winter, they stopped water from seeping through to your socks. In summer, they were (at least in theory)

protection against snakes. At the back door of our house was a rack with seven pairs of gumboots. For years, the boots were in descending order of size from my father down to my youngest brother until we outgrew him. My father has what can only be described as ‘goblin feet’.

When I left home, my gumboots stayed behind. They were unlikely to

be any use to me at University, or so I thought. Over a number of decades, I watched as they withered. Anecdotes and fairy tales may get bigger over the years, but the opposite is true of unloved footwear. Eventually, they were not so much gumboots as affordable housing for spiders. There comes a point when you should just accept that your gumboots are no longer yours and best off left as an arachnid timeshare resort.

We decided to have a working bee at my father’s house. There was wood to be chopped and chores to be done.

But before anything else, I needed new gumboots. Attending what looked like an aircraft hanger but was, so my brother assured me, a hardware store, I found rows of them. Some had steelcaps in the toes. Others had satellite navigation. It was clear that the art of gumboot making had come a long way. But not only did I purchase a pair of boots containing more metal than my first car, I also got myself a pair of work gloves and a face shield that made me look like an Storm Trooper understudy on the set of Star Wars.

Between my father’s house and the bush is a paddock. In that paddock are a bunch of harmless cows who, when they’re not wasting time playing Angry Birds, spend the hours eating grass. There is, however, one bull. In his infinite wisdom, my father decided to separate the bull from the cows for the week leading up to the working bee. Which means that old Boris the Bull was in a somewhat heightened state. These, it must be said, were not ideal conditions.

It’s been years since I’ve chopped

up firewood. This might explain how I managed to miss the particular log I was aiming for and break the axe in half. For this reason my brother decided that – steel-cap gumboots or not – it would be better for everyone if I didn’t use the chainsaw. With wood duly chopped, I loaded up the wheelbarrow and set out on my perilous journey from the trees back to the house.

Sensing weakness, Boris the Bull stood and watched as I huffed and puffed my way over the creek and towards the top gate. He then started doing some huffing and puffing of his own. I should say that whilst I’ve seen Crocodile Dundee at least twice, I am not drawn to the idea of trying to subdue a giant bovine by using the ‘Hang loose’ hand signal. It might have worked for Paul Hogan, but I preferred a different approach – I bolted.

Boris immediately took off in pursuit.

I ran like a man who, quite literally, had lead in his shoes and could almost feel the steam from the beast’s nostrils as I raced up the hill. With one last superhuman effort, I leapt over the fence and my right foot slipped free of my boot. As I tumbled onto the front yard I was safe, but one gumboot short of a working bee. I immediately retired.

Last I heard, Boris was travelling around the peninsula asking people to try on the gumboot. It’s only a matter of time before the inevitable happens.

When the moment arrives, I will only say that wish Boris and Cinderella all the happiness in the world. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

He has had over 900 songs published and over 500 recordings of his songs worldwide in a career lasting over 30 years.

His best-known song is On the Inside the theme from the television series Prisoner. It was a No. 1 record in Australia and New Zealand. It reached No. 3 in the UK and also featured on the Billboard Country charts in the USA. Allan has been awarded with 6 Golden Guitars at the Country Music Awards of Australia. As a songwriter he has received 2 gold single awards an APRA award, and an ARIA award. He also has been awarded 1 platinum and 3 gold records for his writing and production work on a series of children’s albums featuring Don Spencer.

state of Australia, as well as appearing on stages in the US and in New Zealand.

He has performed for Australian troops stationed in East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan.

He currently resides in Medlow Bath in the NSW Blue Mountains and continues to write and record songs. He also works with children in juvenile detention and behavioral schools (on behalf of the Australian Children’s Music Foundation) teaching music and songwriting as a way for young people to integrate into the community.

Writing Great Songs with Allan Caswell takes you the whole way from the first spark of an idea to the final polished song. He also plays and dissects some of his own songs to show you how it works.

Sonny Joe, you’ve stepped over the mark. *** I LIKED the line in Old School (ABC TV 8.30 Friday 13/6) from Sam Neil’s justifiable complaining wife “We’re meant to be enjoying this time of our lives”.

on great sex: “Being focused and absorbed in the moment; being in synch, as in two becoming one; mutual respect & trust; being tuned to each other’s feelings, moods & responses; being genuine, uninhibited; exploration, interpersonal risk taking, fun. Great sex involves laughter; vulnerability and surrender”.

Thanks Bettina. I’ve made enough mistakes in life without you adding to them.

“I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than regret the things I haven’t done” [Lucille Ball]. *** NATASHA Layton of Occupational Therapy Australia talks of “substantial research” in regard to elderly drivers, concluding evidence of lane positioning, approach to intersections, hazards and blind spots as common errors. Goodness only knows what “substantial” means. I thank Natasha for her efforts on our behalf but suggest she might take to the roads between 3 and 4pm weekdays for additional research on school parents and tradies to assess the wider picture.

My theory is that drivers drive in a fairly close alignment with their personality.

Some people say the same applies to dog owners. I had a sweet, generous, loving, shih-tzu. *** THE mid life crisis for males (existential panic/anxiety/depression/brain damage?) begins mid-to-late 30s, according to something I read, or if you like-a

*** CELEBRATING 50 years of performing, Suzi Quatro returns in January 2015 for her last Australian tour. With 30 Australian tours under her belt, this will be the final chance for Australian fans to see their rocker Suzi on stage. Australian promoter Harley Medcalf, said: “This will be our 15th Suzi Quatro tour. Duet Productions did the first ever Australian tour in the 70s, so it’s a great honour to be presenting the Final One for the Wild One. Born in Detroit Michigan, Suzi was raised in a musical family who all played various instruments. Suzi made her stage debut, playing bongos in her father’s Jazz band, The Quatro Trio. From

an early age, she studied classical piano and percussion and at the age of 14 began an all-girl band with her sister Patti calling themselves The Pleasure Seekers. Suzi was ‘told’ she would be playing bass guitar which was as tall as she was and also became the lead singer. In 1969 they changed their name to Cradle and it was this band that caught the attention of famed record producer Mickie Most who offered her a solo contract Between 1973 and 1980 Suzi Quatro featured in the British charts for 101 weeks and to date sold over 55 million records including hits, 48 Crash, Too Big, Devil Gate Drive, Daytona Demon, The Wild One, She’s In Love With You, Rock Hard and her duet with Chris Norman, Stumblin’ In. In 1977 Suzi then spread her wings and headed for the small screen playing Fonzie’s girlfriend, Leather Tuscadero in Happy Days. She continued to act in other television series including Minder, Dempsey and Makepeace, Absolutley Fabulous and Midsomer Murders.

In 1986 Suzi made her West End debut playing the lead of Annie Oakley in Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun receiving critical acclaim.

Suzi was one of the first rock and roll acts to tour to Russia where she performed to 500,000 people in six weeks in 1989.

The leather clad bass playing rocker from Detroit who paradoxically found success in the UK singing the bubblegum rock of songwriters/producers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman will appear at the Frankston Arts Centre, 10 February tickets 9784 1060 and the Arts Centre Melbourne, Thursday 3 February, tickets 136 100. www.duetgroup.com www.suziquatro.com

A Grain of Salt AS an actor in years past I’m appalled at the $28.2 million cut to Australia Council funding; moreso when considering the $245 million allocated for school chaplains to provide spiritual guidance.

True, Christopher (Pyne) says no proselytising, but there will be. They won’t do any more damage than a mosque in Bendigo apart from bringing all the ratbags (Aussie self-styled Christian ratbags) out in force. The problem is the emerging pattern: Science, CSIRO, Climate Commission, the ABC and those Coalition (‘Bad mouth the Labor Party’) Commissions. We all form part of Tony Abbott’s revenge; a beating, a kicking, hopefully never to recover. Our mate Billy (Shorten) appears to favour this spending on the chaplains. Also no objection to detention facilities and bodyguarded Julie Bishop’s call to reclassify East Jerusalem as ‘disputed’ rather than ‘occupied’. So much for taking sides.

“Revenge is sweet” said the Lord, or as Shakespeare said: “Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot, that it do singe yourself” Hopefully, or lost in space. *** I WORRY about AFL footballers. Each club now has a leading players group calling the shots, like prefects. In my schooldays prefects were always a bit suspect; the disdain on their faces clearly visible when I walked by. I would privately think of them as “poofters” without having a clue what the word

By Cliff Ellen “source”. All my kids are over 40 so it follows all of them have been through this mysterious mid life crisis. The question is, therefore, at what stage in their lives does the “learning to listen” arrive? *** RACV advice to combat petrol price cycles is well timed “Hold off from buying until the prices drop.” Or “shop around for the best price.” Why didn’t I think of that? ...I wonder if Caroline Wilson and Cathy Jackson are good friends?...Retiring Liberal Senator Sue Boyce suggests Tony Abbott is sexist.

True of course, as is Sue, myself and everyone else...Julie Bishop says Australia is committed to human rights?...A full seven pages in The Age of Queens Birthday honours and no mention of my name, again.

When “Yes dear” will no longer suffice

By Rebecca Stephens IF you’re anything like me, you worried constantly about when your child would start talking, whether they were developing at the correct rate, whether you should seek help, and when. Son #1 started building his vocabulary a few months shy of his second birthday. We’re about to celebrate his third birthday and I now have trouble getting a word in. I needn’t have worried.

I have also discovered there are a few distinct stages of conversational development. When he first started babbling that wonderful baby talk that nobody can understand except Mum (“Bada-nat goban-dob!”

“Yes, dear, of course you can have another sultana!”) I cultivated the ability to provide an appropriately interested and encouraging response even when I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about: “Oh, really?” “Well, that is interesting, and what happened next?” “Mm-hmm, that’s lovely, sweetheart.”

Eventually he learned enough words to voice every thought which went through his active little brain and, around the same time, gave up his day time sleep. I then faced twelve – thirteen hours a day of nonstop chatter, with which I was expected to engage. At this stage, while surreptitiously reading The Age on my smartphone, all I had to do was face his general direction and, with varying tones of voice, alternate between, “Mmm-hmm,” “Yes, darling,” “That’s lovely,” and we were both happy.

One afternoon recently I sat down with my brand new copy of the final Sookie Stackhouse novel (boo hoo!) while Son #2 (9 months old) was having a sleep and Son #1 was flicking through a freshly acquired library copy of The Life of Bees. I had just managed to thumb my way through the title pages, acknowledgements and pages of general thanks from the author to find the start

of the actual story when Son #1 pipes up with an observation broadly relating to bee bottoms and stings (I think; I wasn’t really listening). Impatient to get going on whatever blood lust drama Sookie was going to get caught up in, I replied “Hmm-hmm, that’s great honey,” without looking up from my book. “No, Mummy, look at me, I talk to you.” Huh? What? I looked up with surprise.

“Bee sting spider and spider don’t like it and spider eat bee. You talk [to] me ‘bout that Mummy.” Oh, I see, I’m expected to actually be involved in this conversation now.

Like anything else, I have developed strategies to cope with this new stage. When I have had enough of answering in depth questions about life on planet Earth I decide to give adult responses to preschool conversation starters.

Son #1: Mummy, they need have blue ’tanas. My don’t want brown ones.

Me: Well, darling, I’m sure they could manage blue sultanas through genetic engineering. We could put together a business plan and pitch it to the Product Development Manager at Sanitarium. However, I suspect the preliminary market research will indicate that there just isn’t the mass appeal to justify development, production and marketing costs.

Son #1: Oh. Speechless. Nice one.

Rebecca Stephens lives in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne with her long-suffering husband and two young sons (3 years; 9 months), who are both quite delightful, especially when they are smiling or sleeping.

Kangas fall to a new low PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN reached a new low on Saturday, humiliated in front of their home crowd by archenemy Pines.

The Kangaroos played without spirit and passion, a far cry from the side that won their opening five games of the season.

Langwarrin have now lost six games on the trot and are no certainty to beat Karingal this weekend.

The Kangas are playing like they are scared to be offensive. They are reactive.

Pines on the other hand are playing inspired football, now winning their past three games.

On Saturday, they were six goals up by quarter time.

The margin was 42 points at the last change and while Langwarrin predictably came back in the final quarter, they still went down 12.10 (82) to 9.16 (70).

Chris Guganovic was clearly the best player on the ground. At no stage was he tagged or even respected by

the opposition.

Guy Hendry completely dominated and intimidated. He finished with a career-high seven goals playing across half-forward.

Jake Berry was again dominant and Jamie Messina ran around doing as he liked.

Beau Muston with five goals and Nick Tuddenham, who was back from Frankston VFL, were clearly Langwarrin’s best. It was a struggle to find any other good players outside of these two.

A number of weeks ago, Pines’ coach Steve Ryan resigned from the position, paving way for a new coach to come in next season.

If the Pythons can maintain this level of intensity and spirit, they will become a very appealing proposition next season for any prospective coach.

The Kangas on the other hand need to get back to enjoying their footy.

They look like a group that isn’t enjoying things and it’s becoming a chore. They are frightened of failing.

Frankston YCW once again stamped its authority on the competi-

tion, leading all afternoon to thump Mt Eliza to the tune of 44 points.

The Stonecats held the Redlegs scoreless in the opening term and restricted them to just one behind in the final term.

The home side doubled the score of the Redlegs, winning 12.16 (88) to 7.2 (44).

YCW is playing with renewed spirit and enthusiasm under new coach Scott Mathers and the results are evidence of that.

On Saturday, the Stonecats had nine different goal kickers, while Josh Pickess returned from the VFL and dominated. Tony Lester also was at his best yet again and Kyle Hutchison found plenty of the footy and finished with two goals.

Sam Wettenhall was Mt Eliza’s only productive forward with four majors while Rob D’Orazio and Jordan Moncrieff tried hard.

In the grand final replay, it was Edithvale-Aspendale that got the chocolates again over Bonbeach, winning a thriller 13.20 (98) to 11.19 (85).

The Eagles opened up a 32-point lead kicking with the wind in the

opening term and while Bonbeach kept coming, they never got in front.

Inaccuracy in the opening half prevented the Eagles from winning comfortably. They had 14 scoring shots to just two in the first quarter but only netted four majors.

Jarrod Garth continues to be a revelation in this competition, booting ten goals in the past two weeks (five on Saturday) after sitting out three weeks due to a hamstring tear.

Tim Mavric also returned and quickly found his best and Jordy Derbyshire continues his ‘fly under the radar’ season.

Cal McQueen booted three for the Sharks while Gary Carpenter continues his purple patch of form with another three club votes. Jackson Casey and Dylan Jones were also at the top of their game.

Many believed that on the closed spaces of Edithvale, Bonbeach would win. It seems they still have some work to do to get a win over the Eagles.

Mornington had 12 goal kickers in its 20.23 (143) to 9.5 (59) win against Karingal.

A devil of a time: The weather was gloomy, and so was the mood for Pearcedale, going down to Rye by five goals. Picture: Doug Farr

James Cameron returned from Frankston Dolphins with four goals and a dominant display while Emilio Bitters and coach Stuart Seagar with three goals also took charge.

Michael Burke was at his vintage best for the Bulls while Hadley Tomamichel kicked three goals in a strong display.

Seaford turned the tables on Chelsea on Saturday, coming from behind to record a really strong 12.20 (92) to 9.9 (63) victory.

The Tigers were mauled in the opening quarter and found themselves 29 points down at the first change.

The home side still trailed by 15 points at the long interval and by the same margin at the last change.

However, with the wind at their backs, Seaford kicked 6.9 to one behind in the final term.

Johnathon Haidon and Matt Herbert aren’t well known Seaford names but these two dominated on Saturday, while Rory Luxton and Dean Kemble were also dominant.

Daniel Aarsman (four goals) and Brad Clarke tried their best for the Gulls.

Blues coach out for season NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt HASTINGS’ bad run with injuries continued on Saturday in its one point loss to Dromana.

In a game that had everything, the Tigers’ Anthony Bruhn was the only player to kick a goal in the final term, which was enough to get over the line 8.11 (59) to 7.16 (58).

Blues’ coach Brendan Dunne broke his arm in the first quarter and won’t play again this season.

Dunne’s injury adds to those of Daniel Wishart and Alex Goodingham, who are both out for the season, while Dylan Hand and Peter Mawson will miss the next four or five weeks with shoulder injuries.

Jason Kestle is still weeks away with bone spurs in his ankle.

It was a fitting match for these two clubs, who came together to play in heritage jumpers to raise awareness and money for bowel cancer.

Both clubs auctioned their jumpers at the end of the game.

Obviously, as was the case with all games on Saturday, the wind played havoc and favoured one end of the ground.

Hastings kicked with the wind in the opening term at Pier St Oval but couldn’t take advantage of it.

Losing Dunne also threw the Blues’ structures into a bit of chaos.

The Tigers booted 4.2 to Hastings’ five behinds in the second quarter.

This was probably the difference between the sides.

Dromana took advantage of its opportunities while the Blues wasted some of theirs. Hastings finished with 23 scoring shots to 19. They booted 5.10 to 5.6 in the second and third quarters.

Jay Neratzoglou was superb down back for the Tigers and led from the front while Jay Hutchinson and Daniel Guerts were also on top of their games. Steven Gaertner and Ash Waterstone kicked two goals each for the winners.

Colin McVeigh and Justin Berry were outstanding for the Blues again, while Will Jolley was also excellent.

Crib Point celebrated its hard fought 11-point win against Rosebud on Saturday with a major announcement.

Former Somerville skipper Aaron Murray has signed with the Magpies.

The Magpies were keen to replace key forward Torin Petrie, who decided a couple of weeks ago to head back home to St Arnaud and finish the season there.

After such a wonderful start to the season, Pies coach Duane Annable was keen to get a replacement quickly.

Murray hasn’t played a game of footy since undergoing a knee reconstruction a couple of seasons ago.

Murray joins former teammate Glenn Boyd at the Pies. Boyd booted four goals and was instrumental in the win on Saturday.

When the game needed to be won in the last quarter, with his side trailing by eight points at the last change, Boyd booted three of his team’s five last quarter goals.

The Pies led by one point at quarter time and by eight points at half time.

Dean Warry and Brad Arnold were outstanding for the winners and James Cook was a tower in the ruck.

Ryan Spooner was close to the best man on the ground with four goals for the Buds while Tommy Baker and Daniel Hickey were also outstanding.

Frankston Times 30 June 2014

The Magpies remain in third place on the ladder, a game clear of Sorrento in fourth and two games clear of Rye in fifth.

Rosebud on the other hand is now three games off third spot, currently sitting in seventh position on the table.

Frankston Bombers trailed all afternoon against Somerville on Saturday. However the booted 5.6 to 3.1 in the final term to win 10.15 (75) to 10.13 (73).

Matt Harris was outstanding in the win for the Bombers with four goals, while James Degenhardt and Mitch Bosward dominated through the middle of the ground. Duncan Proud was also very good for the winners.

Travis Bravo finished with four goals for the Eagles while Brad Rowe, Luke Collie and Kane McKenzie picked up the votes.

Rye moved back inside the top five with a five goal win against Pearcedale.

Rhett Sutton and Ryan Semmel dominated through the middle and around the ground for the Demons while Adam Kirkwood returned to some of his best. Chris Gleeson finished with four majors while Andrew Dean played predominantly forward of centre and finished with two goals.

Troy Jacobson and Mitch White were the best of the Panthers and Pat Heijden booted three majors.

Red Hill maintained its position in the top three with a comfortable 56 point win against Devon Meadows.

Devon booted three goals in the second quarter and only booted a further two points for the rest of the match. They were smashed 11.11 (77) to 3.3 (21).

The defensive style of play from the Panthers continued, running two players behind the footy from the first bounce. It’s unattractive and isn’t going to win games of footy.

Red Hill on the other hand attacked from the first bounce.

Daniel Allsop, a 16-year-old in his first year in the Hillmen’s Under 18s, made his debut, booted a goal and didn’t look out of place in the seniors.

Michael Mock was outstanding for the winners, as was Nick Bateman, while Jarryd Douglas finished with three majors.

Steve McInnes and Clint Walker were the best of Devon, while Alex Doria played his best game for the season.

Sorrento had eight goal kickers against Tyabb on Saturday, Ryan Jeffrey returning with four, along with Leigh Poholke and Dave Lawson. Ben Schwarze booted three goals while James Hallahan and Benny McCormack dominated.

Craig Conlan and Ash Souter were the best of the Yabbies, while Jake Anderson finished with two goals.

Missing the point: The Blues went down by just a minor score to Dromana on Saturday.
