Figures show decline in housing affordability Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON ranks third among 15 Melbourne suburbs where rental affordability has declined the most.

Figures put out by the Council to Homeless Persons show the suburb ranks only behind Greater Dandenong and Casey – two traditionally affordable areas – as a place where people on low incomes can afford to rent.

In the 10 years from March 2007 to

March 2017, the percentage of rentals that were affordable to low-income earners has fallen from 66 per cent to 10 per cent.

Local homelessness services will use the data during Homelessness Week (7-13 August) to highlight how the housing “crisis� is driving more people to the brink of homelessness, and to call for more public and community (social) housing to provide relief from skyrocketing rents. “It’s a grim situation for low income earners, who find that there is nowhere

to escape high rents, and that the social housing safety net is inadequate,�

Council to Homeless Persons policy and communications manager Kate Colvin said. “Moving further out is no longer the silver bullet to reducing rent stress,� she said. “People in Frankston shouldn’t be languishing on public housing waiting lists. There are 1842 individuals waiting for social housing in Frankston, many with children and partners, so the total number of people is actually far greater.

“So we need at least 1842 new properties to get those men, women and children out of rooming houses, caravan parks, crisis accommodation and expensive rental, and into a safe, permanent and affordable home.�

Ms Colvin said Victoria’s public housing levels were the lowest in history, with 35,000 people on waiting lists. “Providing housing that people can afford is the single most important way to reduce homelessness,� she said. “We want to see 100,000 homes dedicated to low income earners

delivered over five years nationally, 30,000 of which would be allocated to Victoria.�

Dunkley MP Paul Edbrooke will visit service provider SalvoCare East during Homelessness Week.

Council to Homeless Persons media officer Lanie Harris said topics of discussion would be “the ballooning public housing waiting lists in the Frankston area, as more people are pushed out of private rental, and the impact that the housing crisis is having on the local homelessness service�.

Cash for community centre, ‘hangout’ bus FRANKSTON North residents are all smiles after the federal government stumped up more than $150,000 for two projects.

Frankston North Community Centre has been given $76,500 for improvements including redevelopment of Pines Community Garden, which also will benefit Pines Men’s Shed.

A further $140,000 will come from Frankston City.

The Mobile Youth Hangout Bus project will receive $90,000 from the federal government and $80,000 from Frankston City.

Federal Dunkley MP Chris Crewther said stage two of works at the community centre would see the

garden “completely revitalised” including installation of a new outdoor kitchen, potting area and accessible amenities “creating a green gathering space sure to draw in locals and tourists”.

“The project will also support established services such as afterschool activities and programs at the community centre to provide social interaction” as well as computer and cooking skills training.

Minister for Regional Development Fiona Nash said the Youth Hangout bus would provide “accessible youth outreach services within the community” and benefit Frankston North as well as Karingal, Frankston, Seaford

and Langwarrin.

She said the bus would “provide a space where youth can come together safely to watch films, make use of computers and WiFi and engage with youth services”.

Frankston’s mayor Cr Brian Cunial said the community centre was “an important place in the heart of the community where people are warmly welcomed and provided with a wide variety of programs and services that support a healthy and resilient community”.

He said the bus would on the road

by October with work at the community centre completed by November.

Liberal trio line up for Frankston preselection Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au THE next skirmish in the battle for key swing seat Frankston plays out this month when the Liberal Party selects a candidate to take on sitting Labor MP Paul Edbrooke at the 2018 state election.

Three hats are in the ring – former Frankston City councillor and mayor Darrel Taylor, Frankston police station commander Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb, and financial adviser Alex Screen.

A “preselection convention� will be held on 5 August where 44 delegates from Liberal Party branches in the area join with up to 28 Liberals from Melbourne to vote for a candidate. The city Liberals can include up to 24 state councillors.

The winner will need 50 per cent of the vote plus one more vote.

Darrel Taylor and Michael Lamb ran for preselection in 2014 but lost to Sean Armistead in the first round.

Mr Taylor’s decision to seek preselection in 2014 when he was Frankston’s mayor divided his council colleagues after Cr Colin Hampton moved a motion calling on Cr Taylor to stand down as mayor if he was preselected by the Liberals.

Debate in the council chamber descended into insults, mudslinging and accusations of bullying.

Cr Taylor said if he was fortunate enough to be preselected, he would stand down well before the election.

In 2016, Cr Taylor was campaign manager for Dunkley federal Liberal candidate Chris Crewther who won the seat vacated by Bruce Billson.

Mr Taylor and Mr Edbrooke have butted heads over several issues in recent times including the Frankston Basketball Stadium redevelopment project.

Michael Lamb

Alex Screen

Darrel Taylor

Mr Edbrooke made use of state MPs’ parliamentary privilege to launch a scathing attack in March 2016 over Cr Taylor’s expenses during his year as mayor, 2014-15. Cr Taylor was not re-elected in November 2016.

Things have been relatively quiet in the electorate since Mr Edbrooke replaced former rebel Liberal MP Geoff Shaw at the state election in 2014.

Mr Shaw held the balance of power during the final months of the Liberal-Nationals Coalition government after resigning from the Parliamentary Liberal Party and declaring himself an independent.

This followed months of controversy over his use of his taxpayer-funded vehicle and fuel card.

Mr Shaw stood as an independent in 2014 and won almost 13 per cent of the vote, 4514 votes, in a field of 14 candidates.

Mr Edbrooke, a career firefighter, pipped the Liberal candidate Sean Armistead, then manager of Indigenous programs at Crown Resorts, by 336 votes after distribution of preferences, 17,665 or 50.48 per cent to 17,329 or 49.52 per cent.

Frankston was a relatively safe Liberal seat

between its formation in 1967 and 1982 when the Cain Labor government ousted the Liberals under Premier Lindsay Thompson. It was the first Labor government in Victoria for 27 years.

Labor’s Jane Hill was the surprise beneficiary in 1982 when she ousted Liberal MP Graeme Weideman by 76 votes in a major upset.

Frankston was divided in two before the 1985 election (Frankston North and Frankston South) and Ms Hill was elected as MP for Frankston North. She was re-elected in 1988.

The two electorates existed for two elections, 1985 and 1988, before Frankston was re-created for the 1992 election.

Mr Weideman represented Frankston South 1985-92, and served another term as MP for Frankston from 1992 to 1996 when he retired.

He was succeeded by Andrea McCall, who held the seat for the Liberals until defeated at the 2002 election by Labor’s Alistair Harkness.

Geoff Shaw defeated Dr Harkness in 2010.

Another Frankston area electorate, Frankston East, played a crucial role in 1999 when the Kennett government was booted from office.

Frankston East had been created out of the old

Frankston North for the 1992 election when it was won by the Liberal Party’s Peter McLellan.

He quit the Liberal Party in July 1998 after accusing Premier Jeff Kennett of being dictatorial, and contested the 1999 election as an independent.

On election morning, 18 September, Mr McLellan died of a heart attack and the Frankston East election was cancelled.

After counting that night, the Coalition had 43 seats and Labor 41 in the 88-seat lower house.

The Coalition needed to win the supplementary election at Frankston East on 16 October to form government.

Labor’s Matt Viney won easily and Victoria had a hung parliament. The next day three independents (Russell Savage, Craig Ingram and Susan Davies) announced they would support Steve Bracks to become the new Labor Premier.

Frankston voters also played a key role in the Brumby Labor government losing office to the Ted Baillieu-led Coalition in 2010, and again four years later when the Coalition, now led by Denis Napthine, became the first single-term Victorian government since 1955 after being defeated by Labor under Daniel Andrews.

Police are investigating.

POLICE are investigating a serious road accident in Frankston last Thursday night (above left). A man in his 20s crossing Cranbourne Rd at 11.10pm was struck by a west-bound Jeep. He was airlifted to hospital suffering life-threatening injuries.

Charges over drugs, cash

Bike, car collide

Arrests over warrants FRANKSTON detectives acting on 16 outstanding warrants swooped

on houses in Frankston and Carrum Downs last week and made 16 arrests of men and women.

Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Matt Brown said the warrants covered a range of charges including assault and traffic matters, and covered people of all ages. Some were out on bail, while others had failed to turn up at court on a set date, leading the court to order their arrest.

“If you are wanted on outstanding warrants, please take the time to think,” Detective Brown said.

“Sooner or later you will receive a knock on the door and you could be arrested.”

Man charged over Skye explosion FRANKSTON detectives have charged a man over an early morning explosion in Skye in 2015. Emergency services were called to a reserve bordered by Sanoma Drive, Danube Close and Santa Clara Mews after witnesses heard a large bang about 6am on Saturday 29 August.

On Thursday, detectives questioned a 36-year-old Frankston North man over allegedly lighting a commercial grade aerial firework that unexpectedly exploded on launch.

He was charged with one count of possessing an explosive and will face Frankston Magistrates’ Court today (Monday 31 July).

A MOTORCYCLE collided with a station wagon in Langwarrin on Thursday 27 July (above right).

The motorcycle was travelling south on McClelland Drive when the incident occurred at 11.20am. A

A 21-YEAR-OLD Seaford man charged with drug trafficking, possessing drugs and possessing the proceeds of crime has been remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 3 August.

Police said that at about midday on Monday 24 July, they noticed a man “hanging around” the toilets on Playne St. They said the man was “acting suspiciously, walking into the toilets and then back out within seconds”.

They allege that when they approached, the man attempted to walk off in another direction. He then provided a credit card and his date

of birth but, when told he would be searched, the man allegedly ran off towards Kananook Creek.

Police say they saw the man “throw something” into the water before he was arrested on the banks of the creek. They retrieved items, allegedly including about 20 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 15 Lyrica pills and a quantity of cash.

Frankston station commander Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb said: “Our foot patrols are having a real impact on public safety. The response from traders and the public has been very positive.

“Our commitment to these increased foot patrols will continue.”

Detective Senior Constable Mark Garrett, of Frankston CIU, said the handbag contained personal property and had been left in the southeast corner of the reserve in Heysen Drive.

“It is not known who the handbag belongs to. It was possibly stolen and dumped at that location and set on fire,” he said.

Witnesses called the CFA, which extinguished the fire, but not before it had spread to the jerry can left at the scene. Police would like to speak with anyone who saw the incident. They are also seeking information to help identify the owner of the handbag, which contained personal property.

Some of it is still identifiable. Anyone with information can call Frankston CIU on 9784 5590 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Plea for warm winter coats FRANKSTON Homelessness Network is seeking donations of new or laundered winter jackets and coats for people in need.

The call comes during Homelessness Week, 7-13 August, which raises awareness of people finding it hard to cope during cold weather.

Donated coats will be distributed at a free community event on Thursday 3 August, where other services, such as warm showers, food and haircuts, will be provided.

Community Support Frankston manager Steve Phillips said winter was a difficult and potentially dangerous time. “Everyone knows of someone who has fallen on hard times; it impacts us all,” he said.

“A small act of kindness can make a big difference to someone feeling hopeless.

“With increasing numbers in Frankston seeking assistance for basic needs, staying warm and

adequately fed is essential to their survival.”

Frankston’s mayor Cr Brian Cunial said: “You could make someone’s day through a simple gesture, such as donating a warm winter coat.

“Helping someone less fortunate is exactly what community spirit is all about and we have plenty of goodwill to share around in Frankston.”

Donated items must be new and unused. Suggested items include winter coats (new), jumpers, socks, underpants, beanies, gloves, sleeping bags, blankets and non-perishable food items.

They can be delivered in person to Community Support Frankston, 35-39 Beach St, Frankston, from 9am-4pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and 1-4pm on Thursday.

Secondhand items can be taken to an opportunity shop.

Hunt continues for sex attacker POLICE last week were still searching for a man who sexually assaulted a teenage girl in Mt Eliza last year.

The attack so traumatised the 16-year-old that she was unable to report it to police for more than a year.

Just before midnight, Saturday 7 May, the girl left a party in Mt Eliza – which was not held at Toorak College as previously reported (Man sought over sex attack, The News 25/7/2017) – to walk home with a few friends along Old Mornington Rd. The girl continued walking alone after her friends were collected.

Soon after, she heard two men calling from behind. She turned but could not see them in the dark.

The girl, now 17, told police she was grabbed from behind and pulled into bushes between

Williams Rd and Ti-Tree Lane. She was then sexually assaulted by one man while the other kept a lookout.

The men fled after the attack.

The first man is described as being Caucasian, 187cm tall, 18-19 years old, fit-looking with a round face, small fea-tures and short dark hair.

He was wearing khaki shorts, grey t-shirt and a dark-coloured jumper or jacket with a hood, black socks and black running shoes. He had a deep voice with an Australian accent.

The second man was Caucasian with possibly a darker skin tone than the other. He was wearing a dark-coloured hoodie or jacket with a hood over his head and black running shoes.

Anyone who can help can call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Actors audition by the score MORE than 100 actors have applied for roles in the short film Hit ‘Em Where It Hurts being made in Mt Eliza.

Four main character roles are scripted for the 2-5 minute film which will begin shooting at Austin Acting Studios, Eliza Terrace, in a fortnight.

it, the other saying defend yourself – or “hit ‘em where it hurts”. The finished film will be presented to the Sunshine Short Film Festival and Peninsula Film Festival.

The director and writer is TV and movie actor Julian Lee Austin, with on-set coach and producer Stephany Austin, who has spent 20 years in TV and films here and overseas.

Ex-soldier regains ‘lost’ sniper’s rifle A SNIPER’S rifle has been returned to the man who captured it while fighting the Japanese in Bougainville in March 1945.

Former Corporal Duncan MacKinnon was last week reunited with the rifle he took from the dead sniper at the battle for Slaters Knoll and brought home after the war for display at an RSL. Mr MacKinnon had landed with Australian troops at Torakina, Bougainville, in 1943. It was occupied by the Americans. His 25th Battalion established its base close to where the Puriata River converged with Buin Rd at Slaters Knoll.

The Japanese were dug in along the Buin Rd, and the Australians took part in lengthy battles all the way up the coast to Buka Island and back.

The 25th Battalion crossed the Puriata River on 4 March 1945 and soon ran into heavy Japanese resistance. ‘A’ company advanced along Buin Rd but was surrounded and persistently attacked for three days.

The 25th Battalion attacked on a two-company front on 19 March and forced the Japanese from their positions into an extensive system of pill-boxes at a road junction.

“This action is only a small part in which we were involved fighting the 40,000 Japs on the Island,” Mr MacKinnon recalled.

The sniper was hiding in a foxhole and difficult to see. Mr MacKinnon threw in a grenade and suffered minor injuries from the outward blast when it exploded. But he got the rifle – an Arisaka type 38 of 6.5 calibre – which was sent to Anzac House when Australia’s tougher gun laws came into effect in 1996. It then “vanished” for more than 20 years.

Mr MacKinnon approached friends and associates to help him find the weapon, but the search proved fruitless. Then, as a committee member of the Western Port Oberon Association, he spoke to its president Max Bryant who, after “a lengthy investigation”, found the rifle at a former RSL armoury at Lakes Entrance.

Fortunately, Mr MacKinnon had carved his name on the stock so the rifle was able to be identified by armoury manager Rob Ferguson. It was then taken to Miall’s Gun Shop, in Playne St, Frankston, where it was recorded and registered to a licensed gun holder for safe keeping.

One day the rifle – and its history – will be on show in a museum, but until then remains locked in a safe.

“When I handed the gun to Dougie you could see his mind travelling back all those years to the battle for Slaters Knoll,” Mr Bryant said.

THE TIME TO GET SOLAR IS NOW!

New resident group will be ‘non-political’ A RESIDENTS and ratepayers group in Frankston will be launched on Wednesday.

City of Frankston Residents and Ratepayers Association Inc (COFRRA) has been formed by Leanne Hodolic, Daniel Redman and former Frankston councillors Darrel Taylor and Rebekah Spelman.

Ms Hodolic gained public prominence three years ago when she supported construction of a new war memorial.

After two years of controversy over design and funding, the memorial was unveiled in Beauty Park in time for last year’s Anzac Day ceremony.

Daniel Redman, a business consultant, unsuccessfully stood in North-West Ward at Frankston Council elections last year.

Darrel Taylor and Rebekah Spelman also stood last year but were not elected.

The association has about 30 members and is seeking more. It costs $10 to join.

President Leanne Hodolic said the group aimed to be a “vocal, non-political advocate for the residents and ratepayers of Frankston”.

Members would have “a strong voice with which to communicate to all three levels of government, local, state and federal”.

She said residents and ratepayers were “sick of the politics and in-fighting that is continuously occurring within the council”.

Group treasurer Rebekah Spelman said COFFRA was “a truly independent association, with the constitution disallowing any type of funding or support from local, state or federal governments”.

The group will be launched at midday on Wednesday 2 August at City of Frankston Bowling Club, 12 Yuille St. Details: secretary@cofrra.org.au Mike Hast

‘No problem’ for gas Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au THERE would be no problem in Western Port being used by the 290 metre long gas tankers that energy supplier AGL would use to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) from a floating terminal at Crib Point, according to a former Port of Hastings harbourmaster.

Captain Dick Cox said ship to ship transfers had previously been conducted safely at Crib Point and there may be no need for having fire tugs “on immediate availability … providing there is adequate fire control systems available on the jetty to international standard”.

AGL has named Western Port as one of three sites being investigated as an import terminal for LNG from Australia and overseas.

The proposal to import LNG has led to criticism of government tax policies which make it profitable for gas to be imported, even though Australia is one of the world’s two largest exporters.

The federal government on Monday said it would impose “last resort” restrictions on gas exports in 2018 if it looked like there would be domestic shortages.

“It would surely be better for Victorian consumers to have more competition in our local market through cheaper imports than AGL importing through NSW or SA,” former Port of Hastings harbourmaster Captain Dick Cox told The News.

The state government, although accepting an Infrastructure Victoria recommendation against building a container port at Hastings, has said it wants to increase its use for “bulk” goods, including pretroleum products.

Capt Cox said Western Port would have no problem handling the 290 metre long LNG tankers used by AGL.

PAGE 8 Frankston Times 31 July 2017

“[They] are one of the safest and cleanest types of ships in the world. Their fuel is the boil off from the cargo – [which means] no risk of damage to mangroves or seagrass from oil spills - which is kept liquid at minus 160 degrees Celsius - it has to be warmed before it can be put into the local grid which is the job of the permanently moored vessel, which, hopefully will be tied up at Crib Point No.2 Jetty.”

Departure point: A tanker awaits its cargo at the EssoMobil wharf at Long Island Point, Hastings.

Capt Cox said largest tanker to enter Western Port was the 300m Amazon Maru on 10 November 1987. “The LNG ships are 290 metres long, in other words the channel is more than adequate and of internationally accepted standard.

Western Port is already being used as a major site in the gas economy through ExxonMobil’s gas processing and oil storage plant at Long Island Point, Hastings, which supplies the by-

21 JULY – 17 SEPTEMBER 2017 At Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery

products of natural gas production to customers in eastern Australia and throughout the AsiaPacific region.

The natural gas extracted from the Gippsland basin by the company’s joint venture with BHP is piped for sale in the domestic market at Longford, near Sale, with ethane, propane and butane being processed and exported from Hastings.

The Long Island plant does not produce or export liquefied natural gas (LNG), which energy supplier AGL is proposing to import through a floating terminal at Crib Point (“Western Port link in gas plans” The News 18/7/17).

“We’re not part of the east coast gas problem, we’re part of the solution,” EssoMobil’s public and government affairs manager Andrew Murphy said in response to the article.

“While Long Island Point is a crucial part of our operations, it does not process or distribute natural gas - which is used to make the liquefied natural gas that AGL is looking to import,” he said.

“Rather, Long Island Point carries out the final stages in the processing of liquefied petroleum gas – ethane, which is used to make plastics, propane for barbecue gas and butane for cigarette lighter gas - and stores crude oil prior to distribution to refineries in Australia and overseas.

“We produce more propane and butane than Victoria can use and so the remainder is shipped to customers across eastern Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.”

Mr Murphy said the company had been supplying gas from the Gippsland Basin to the domestic market for more than 45 years.

“Indeed, 2016 was the highest gas production year ever in the history of our operations, supplying approximately 20 percent of east coast demand, and we expect similar production levels this year.”

Tax time IT’S

advertising feature

Don’t be the next scam victim THE Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is urging all Australians to keep their personal information secure and to report any suspicious activity immediately this tax time.

Assistant Commissioner Kath Anderson warns that identifying information like tax file numbers, bank account numbers or your date of birth are the keys to your identity, and can be used by scammers to break into your life if they are compromised.

“We cannot stress this enough – your personal information must be treated like your bank PIN. If someone knew your PIN, they would have access to your hard-earned income, and it’s the same with your personal information and tax return,” Ms Anderson said.

“The ATO works really hard to maintain the highest levels of security, but if someone gets your personal information, they can use it to impersonate you and engage in fraudulent activity.”

“More than one thousand taxpayers reported their personal information had been compro-

mised in June, up by 26 per cent from May, so we know it is a real problem at this time of year.”

Ms Anderson said all reports of identity theft are taken seriously, with the ATO working directly with taxpayers when they suspect their identities have been stolen, misused or compromised.

“We are committed to supporting victims of tax scams and tax crimes. If you think your tax file number has been stolen or compromised, you should contact our Client Identity Support Centre on 1800 467 033 right away,” Ms Anderson said.

“By alerting us we can immediately take steps to secure your identity and limit the damage done by scammers. Your information also helps us understand the constantly evolving scams and therefore better protect the community from falling victim to them.

Ms Anderson said the best defence against scammers was keeping your information safe and knowing what to do if you are targeted.

“You can’t be too careful when it comes to

your personal details. If you are contacted by anyone purporting to be from the ATO and you have any doubts about whether it is legitimate, immediately hang up and get in touch with the ATO to verify the call.”

Ms Anderson said the ATO makes thousands of outbound calls to taxpayers each week, but there are key differences between a call from a scammer and a legitimate call from the ATO. “Tell-tale signs include a caller threatening you with arrest or jail, aggressive or rude behaviour, or asking you to pay money into strange bank accounts or settle tax debts with things like gift cards or iTunes cards. We would never do this,” Ms Anderson said.

“If something doesn’t sound right, you can always check your myGov account, ask your tax agent, or call us directly on 1800 008 540 to see if the contact is legitimate. Be especially wary if you’re asked to make a payment, make sure you only use one of the methods listed on our website.”

VERA BLUE HEADS TO THE GRAND Following the release of ‘Private’, which scored over two million streams worldwide, incandescent singer-songwriter Vera Blue has released her arresting new single, ‘Mended’ and announced dates for a major national album tour this July through September.

Her three previous Australian headline tours all sold out and tickets to the upcoming ‘Mended’ tour are expected to go just as fast.

The nakedly honest ballad was premiered yesterday on triple j’s Drive show with Veronica and Lewis, and details the aftermath of an intense relationship.

‘Mended’ was penned with longtime collaborators Andy and Thom Mak (Boy and Bear, Winterbourne, Bertie Blackman) and marks the beginning of a new sonic and personal journey for Vera Blue. “‘Mended’ is a very special song,” she says. “It was about a relationship that I

had a few years ago. It had been a little while since we’d ended it and we hadn’t made amends, said we were sorry. It’s funny because you think the song is going to be about resolution, but we haven’t quite made it there yet.”

Vera Blue will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, on Wednesday 9 August. Tickets at grand.oztix.com.au or www.grand.net.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Private A. G. Baker awarded the Military medal Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR Joe Baker of Lyndhurst South (Skye) has received word that his son Private A. G. Baker, who has been on active service for two years, and has been wounded on two occasions, has been awarded the Military Medal in France and is, we believe, the first from the Peninsula to receive the decoration.

We extend our hearty congratulationa to Mr and Mrs Baker and to the recipient. *** THE general meeting of the Seaford Progress Association was held on Saturday last. The following officebearers of the ensuing year were elected - President Mr . Howell, vice-president, Mr Hoar, secretery and treasurer, Mr Downs. *** THE general meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers Association will be held on Monday next August 6th at 8 p.m. in the Mechanics’ Hall.

Business—Nomination of officers for ensuing year. Further consideration of Fruit Pool (most important), etc etc. *** THE sale of Mr A. W. Taylor’s motor garage and effects will take place on the premises at 3 o’clock this afternoon.

As Mr Taylor has enlisted with the A.I.F. and is going to the front he is thus compelled to dispose of a profitable business. *** ON Sunday next at the Frankston Methodist Church Rev E. Tonkin will begin a series of morning addresses on “The Transfiguration of

PAGE 22

Frankston Times 31 July 2017

Christ.”

In the evening there will be a special service of Intercession for Our Empire and Allies, and their brave defenders.

Reference will also be made to the Third Anniversary of the Great War. *** THE Red Cross workers of Mt Eliza were invited to meet Lady Spencer at Glen Shian last Thursday.

In a short address she congratulated them on the amount of work done and emphasized the necessity for its continuance.

Visitors were asked to contribute sixpence towards the Red Cross Funds, which resulted in £1 11s 6d being handed in. *** AT the Council meeting on Thursday last, general regret was expressed by the Councillors when the resignation of Cr Plowman was received and it was unanimously expressed that in losing Cr Plowman they were losing a good man and on who had during his term of office done a deal of hard work for the benefit of the ratepayers. *** A RECEPTION to returned soldiers was held at Clarendon House, Frankston, ion Friday evening 27th July, under the auspices of the Australian Club.

Notwithstanding the rough nature of the weather about 40 guests assembled and passed a most enjoyable evening.

Cards were played for about an hour when refreshments were brought in, which were much enjoyed.

The capacious room was then cleared for dancing, which was indulged in till about 2am, the accompaniments being played by Mr Briery.

A number of songs were sung at intervals during the evening, which helped to enhance the enjoyment of those present. *** A JUMBLE Fair at Somerville, under the auspices of the local Red Cross, to be held this afternoon and evening promises to be as successful as any of its predecessors.

The hon. sec. (Mrs G. Shepherd) has, as usual, the work well in hand, and given fine weather, they will doubtless be able to add considerably to the funds of the Society. *** IN Mr Sambell’s (the Shire Engineer) report at Thursday’s meeting of the Council, he eulogised the work just carried out by Mr Bradbury in making turn off opposite the Fernery.

He said the work would be of immense value to the travelling public by easing the congestion of the road by motor cars and acting as a safety valve at that place.

If the work had not been done by Mr Bradbury, the council would have had to do it for the safety of the public.

He estimated the value of the work done at £50. *** NOMINATIONS for the annual elections for the Shire of Frankston and Hastings must be received on or before 4 o’clock on Thursday next.

The only riding in which there seems a likehood of a contest is in

the East Riding, where Mr Alden (the retiring councillor) will be opposed

by Mr Hodgins a former councillor of the Shire.

In the Centre and North Ridings Cr Murray will likely be returned for the former and Cr W. J. Oates for the latter, both being unopposed.

For the Extraordinary vacancy in the North Riding, caused by the retirement of Cr Plowman, Mr W. P. Mason is the only candidate who has announced himself so far and from all appearences he is likely to have a walkover. *** AMONGST the visitors to the Fernery during the past week was the Prime Minister, Mr W. M. Hughes and Mrs Hughes and Mr Justice Hood. Mr. Hughes, in the course of a few remarks, described his visit while in England, to the glass houses of the Duke of Portland, one of which was as large as the Fernery.

He said all the lawns, parks, and gardens were being cut up for growing foodstuffs.

He paid the proprietor a compliment by stating that although the private ferneries were splendid he did not see a public Tea Room in all his travels, to come up to The Fernery. *** AT Bendigo Mr Hughes declared that Ministers will, if necessary, take drastic measures with those who are attempting to stay enlistment.

The Trades Hall Council is supported by those who prate of a “sordid trade War”, by suffragettes who advertise harangues on such catchpenny subjects as “Shall we support the tottering Empire”, by

politicians who damn recruiting with the faintest of faint praise.

In victory and in defeat alike the extremists are noisy. It is a mistake to oppose a mob of loose talkers with silent contempt.

If we would impress those who are indifferent to politics, we must drown the clamor of the disloyal minority. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason have received from Mr G. Upton, of Langwarrin, two half cases of Rome Beauty apples, to be disposed of for the benefit of the “Wattle” Club.

The secretary also acknowledges 10s donation from Mrs H.Robertson. *** OWING to the bad state of the weather it has been decided to postpone the procecession and patriotic display which was to have taken place in Frankston to-day, till Saturday August 11th.

A meeting to make arrangements will be held in the Hall this (Friday) evening, when everybody who is interested, (and it interests everybody) is expected to attend. It must be understood by all thinking people that this is not taken up in a spirit of rejoicing, – far fromit.

It is giving expression to our loyalty and to show that after three long years horrible war we can still say “it is OUR FLAG and we are still determined to fight for it.

Make it your business to come to the meeting tonight. and see how you can assist in this patriotic display. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 4 August 1917

The race is on for top spots PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE competition for a place in the MPNFL Peninsula Division top three and final five is well and truly on after the completion of Round 15.

After looking gone about seven weeks ago, Edithvale-Aspendale has been one of the best performed teams in the competition and are is now equal third with Pines on the ladder after belting the Pythons to the tune of 43 points on Saturday.

The Eagles are on the same amount of points as Pines (40), however; they still remain 23 per cent behind the Pythons. Bonbeach is in second place on 44 points and Frankston YCW is now two games clear on top of the table.

While there’s a nice battle going on at the top of the table, there is also a lot going on in the battle for fifth and sixth.

Mt Eliza had a chance to go eight points clear of Seaford on Saturday and looked to be travelling okay at half time with a lead of eight points.

However, the home side booted six goals to one in the third quarter to open up what turned out to be a matchwinning 20 point lead.

The Redlegs rallied in the last quarter with the aid of the wind and booted three goals to one, however, it wasn’t enough to prevent a 10.15 (75) to 8.13 (61) loss.

Seaford coach Ben Murphy said before the game on the RPP Footy Show that his leadership group had taken

Picture: Scott Memery

control in the past couple of weeks.

“We’d lost some confidence and I felt like I was doing a lot of the talking, so I threw the reigns to the leadership group to take charge,” Murphy said.

“I thought we did a hell of a lot right against Frankston YCW the week before and only went down by four points. The spirit is back and the boys attitude is spot on again,” Murphy said.

Well, it paid dividends. The Tigers got their season back on track and with a strong, healthy list, can make a really good run at finals.

Mt Eliza is the puzzling one.

The Redlegs recruited extremely well in the off season and many predicted they would be the number one challenger to YCW in 2017.

They have had their injury concerns throughout the season, but so has every club.

The Redlegs are holding on to fifth place for dear life now but the draw is well and truly on their side.

They finish the home and away season with games against Karingal, Mornington and Langwarrin.

Seaford has Pines this Saturday at Eric Bell Reserve, then finish with Edi-Asp and Bonbeach.

Regardless of the favourable draw, the Redlegs better find some good form quickly to ensure they hit the finals with some momentum.

Pines lost its third straight match on Saturday 16.15 (111) to 9.14 (68).

The Pythons kicked with the wind in the first quarter but could only manage two goals from its 12 shots (2.10 to 1.2). By half time, scores were level.

Edithvale restricted Pines in the third to trail by just five points at the final change before booting seven unanswered goals in the last to win comfortably.

The busy and unpredictable Edithvale forward line was at it again with Will Flavelle booting three majors

while Michael Bussey and Matt Clark dominated.

Langwarrin made it two wins in a row after coming from behind to beat Mornington.

Down by 15 points at three quarter time, the Kangas booted four goals to one in the final quarter with the aid of the wind to win a thriller, 7.10 (52) to 7.7 (49).

Kieran Albanese was sensational for the winners with four match winning goals while Matty Naughton made a significant difference to the leadership of the team. Gerard Brown and Shane Paterson are stars of the competition and the footy club and led the way on Saturday.

Frankston YCW got out of jail again on Saturday, this time against Karingal.

The Stonecats were restricted to just two goals and trailed the Bulls by 26 points at three-quarter time. However, the champions booted 7.2 to one goal in the last quarter to record a 12-point victory.

Christian Ongarello and Craig Nankervis were catalysts in the win while Riley Hodson continued his outstanding season.

Michael Burke and Jake Kelly with two goals each were the best of the Bulls.

In the battle of the neighbours, Trent Dennis-Lane booted nine goals and Shane McDonald three in Bonbeach’s 19.9 (123) to 11.6 (72) win against Chelsea.

Hillmen are staying alive NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt “WE’RE still alive”. They were the words that came from the end of the phone at 5.47pm on Saturday night from Red Hill coach Tony Blackford after his side got the job done against Dromana.

The equation was simple for Red Hill. They beat Dromana and regain their place in the top five, or, lose and fall eight points behind and kiss their season goodbye.

Leading by just six points at three quarter time, Red Hill kicked against the breeze in the final term. However, rather than trying to defend their lead, the Hillmen continued to play attacking footy and extended the final margin to 13 points, winning 8.11 (59) to 6.10 (46).

In the end, the Tigers looked cooked.

It’s hard now to see them regain their place in the top five now. Playing two months of do or die football has finally taken its toll.

Dromana faces Somerville this weekend before playing Pearcedale and Rye in the final home and away games of the season.

Red Hill tackles Devon Meadows this weekend at the Panther’s den, before finishing with a match against Crib Point and Tyabb.

If Somerville can beat Dromana this weekend, they finish with games against Tyabb and Crib Point.

There is just three per cent separating the Hillmen and Tigers, while Somerville is also on 32 points but 21 per cent behind Red Hill.

After being well beaten by Dromana

earlier in the season, the Hillmen were keen to play accountable footy.

Jonah Siverson was given the biggest job on the ground and that was to run with Dromana’s Sam Fowler. Siverson went with Fowler wherever he went and destroyed him.

Michael Mock had the job on Ethan Johnstone, a player that tore up Red Hill the first time.

Blackford said the win was a great reward for effort for his players.

“I’m really proud of the boys,” Blackford said.

“We have been up against it a bit in the past few weeks but the boys have really stuck together and worked hard to turn things around in our favour again.

“At this stage of the season and being two games out of the five, it would have been easy for the boys to throw it in.

“We’ve given ourselves every chance now and need to win the last two games to assure ourselves a spot in the five.

Getting the eight points in the next two weeks is all that matters now.

Frankston Bombers coach Beau Muston was a last quarter casualty in his side’s 9.14 (68) to 6.7 (43) loss to Sorrento at Greg Beck Oval.

Already strapped from head to toe, Muston went down with what appeared to be a high hamstring injury in the final quarter of the match.

It wasn’t the difference in the result though. Despite kicking with the wind in the final quarter, Frankston could not penetrate the Sorrento defence often enough to strike.

Sorrento was able to boot 2.5 to Frankston’s 3.1 in the final quarter to record a solid victory.

Frankston Bombers had arguably its best side in for the season while Sorrento was a long way from fullstrength. Playing at home also, this was Frankston’s best chance to beat them.

One wonders now whether it is at all possible.

Rosebud celebrated the reappointment of coach Adrian McBean for another season and did a number on Pearcedale, having 43 scoring shots to 13 and winning 19.24 (138) to 8.5 (53).

Keegan Downie was back for the Buds after a long spell off with injury and he finished with five goals, while a further 11 players contributed on the scoreboard. Ryan Spooner was outstanding in his 200th game while Sean Downie too was superb.

Ben Trivett booted five goals in Rye’s impressive 19.12 (126) to 6.8 (44) win against Tyabb.

Looking for two wins on the trot, the Yabbies were blown away in the third quarter as Rye booted 10 goals to three after half time.

Somerville kept its season alive on Saturday when it beat Devon Meadows by 38 points.

Five Eagles booted two goals each while Tim McGenniss played arguably his best game for the season.

Allan Murray was sensational for the Meadows with half a dozen majors while Steve McInnes was also outstanding.

Hastings bounced back from its narrow loss last week to smash Crib Point 20.12 (132) to 3.10 (28).

Nathan Gray and Paul Rogasch booted four each for the winners and Mark Devereaux and Stevey Robb dominated.

AFL South East – Club heavyweights call meeting

By Toe Punt AFL South East is still no closer to handing down its decision for the future structure of football in the region in 2018, despite meeting with three league heavyweights last Thursday.

Former Frankston YCW president John Coburn, Mt Eliza president Mick Dunne and Sorrento president Bernie Balmer met with AFL South East Chairman Roger Hampson and General Manager John Anderson at 5pm last Thursday at the Frankston Park headquarters.

Despite not knowing the agenda of the two-hour meeting, it is believed

that the MPNFL representatives enjoyed a robust discussion with AFL SE. The meeting was called after a group of MPNFL presidents, secretaries and key stakeholders got together many weeks ago to ensure they were in the best possible position to make a recommendation to their members clubs, regardless of the decision handed down by AFL SE. The general feeling was that MPNFL Clubs wanted to be best prepared if AFL South East presented a three-tier structure including the South-East Football Netball Club

(SENFL), which AFL South East has made no secret in saying is its preferred position.

The large majority of MPNFL Clubs have maintained throughout this process that they are not interested at all in being part of any competition that involves SENFL clubs, which include dominant forces Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Berwick and Beaconsfield, as well as struggling clubs including Hampton Park and Tooradin.

The MPNFL working party has been very busy gathering information and investigating alternatives to

present to clubs if and when the AFL SE decision is handed down.

The meeting of Coburn, Dunne and Balmer wasn’t had on behalf of all clubs, it was simply part of the fact-finding mission they are on to ensure they are best placed to support the MPNFL Clubs with relevant information.

Remarkably, it was the first time AFL SE had agreed to meet a collective of MPNFL club representatives.

It was no surprise to hear that there was some progress made and that AFL SE were now much more knowledgeable and understanding of

the MPNFL clubs’ plight.

Perhaps this should have been considered in February this year, instead of the divide and conquer approach through a faceless on-line survey process.

Regardless of the meeting, given the lop-sidedness and disengagement of the SENFL Clubs collectively, there is a still a strong feeling that a three-tier structure including SENFL will be presented by the commission – maybe not in 2018 but certainly beyond that.

If that’s the case, AFL SE is just not listening to MPNFL clubs.

Four for McKenna, Langwarrin’s hot Currie SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FOUR goals from league leading scorer Rhys McKenna has powered Southern United’s under-13s to a seven-point lead on top of Victoria’s elite junior girls competition.

Southern’s 4-0 win over secondplaced Calder United at Monterey Reserve on Saturday was impressive.

Two minutes into the contest Talia Palmer sent Candice Kilderry down the left and her cutback was controlled inside the area by McKenna who turned and struck a low shot inside the far post to make it 1-0.

A defensive mixup in the 5th minute set up McKenna for a tap-in then Charli Phillips sent McKenna through in the 25th minute and the league’s leading scorer slotted the ball past Calder keeper Keara Calafiore to secure her hat-trick.

McKenna’s fourth came 12 minutes into the second half after central midfielder Alessandra Davis played the ball in from the right and McKenna sent a curling high strike into the top corner to complete the scoreline.

Davis and Southern’s Alex Jones have been selected in the Victorian under-12 schoolgirls squad to contest the national titles in Adelaide in December.

Jones has been selected as a goalkeeper albeit that she is a central defender in Southern’s all-conquering under-13s and is the daughter of former South Melbourne, Peninsula Strikers and Langwarrin star keeper Chris Jones.

Another local product, 11-year-old prodigy Alana Murphy, also has been picked in the schoolgirls’ side.

Murphy is a former Langwarrin junior and the youngest member of Victoria’s National Training Centre under-15 squad which has clinched the NPL girls title with five games remaining.

Murphy is an outstanding prospect and is the NTC’s leading scorer.

Southern’s senior team went down 3-1 to championship contender Calder United with Candela Ferreyra Bas scoring for Southern.

The under-15s defeated Calder 2-1 with a double from Anastassia Pusca while a depleted under-18s side lost 10-0.

An Aaran Currie hat-trick has sent Langwarrin seven points clear in the race for the State 1 South-East championship.

Langy’s 4-0 away win against St Kilda on Saturday has re-established Gus Macleod’s men as clear title favourites.

A Connor Belger free kick in the 16th minute put Langy 1-0 up and Currie’s stunning strike from 25 metres in the 32nd minute sailed over the head of St Kilda keeper Daniel Coughlan to make it 2-0.

Currie conjured up an even more

spectacular strike in the 44th minute with a 30-metre free kick that effectively put St Kilda out of the contest.

The Scottish teenager completed his hat-trick in the 65th minute after being sent through by Mat Luak.

Mornington grabbed second spot in State 1 South-East on goal difference from Caulfield United Cobras after a 2-1 away win over South Springvale on Saturday.

Sammy Orritt’s goal spree continued and the English import grabbed a double, the first coming three minutes into the second half when he was played in by Wayne Gordon and struck a half-volley into the top corner of the South Springvale goal.

The home team levelled in the 80th minute but two minutes later Orritt grabbed the winner.

Gordon again put him through and he slotted it past the opposition keeper.

“You’d have to think that Langy’s probably home. They’re too good a side to slip up from here,” said Mornington boss Adam Jamieson.

“But we’ll keep concentrating on what we have to do and see where that takes us.”

Frankston Pines leapfrogged Peninsula Strikers on the State 2 SouthEast table courtesy of a 1-0 win in their derby showdown at Centenary Park on Saturday.

The long wait for a clearance for Mauritian international striker Christopher L’Enclume ended last week and his 5th minute strike settled the issue.

Strikers had gone into the contest without injured trio Aziz Bayeh, Chris McKenna and Troy Williams and had lured veteran Cameron Leopold out of retirement.

In the final analysis a mistake from central defender Aisake Tikoilabasaice proved decisive.

He tried to drag down a high ball instead of clearing it allowing Munib Mohamed to win the ball and send L’Enclume through and he finished neatly past Strikers’ keeper Colin McCormack.

Strikers forward and club president Trevor Johnston, who had worked for over five hours the previous day to remove water from the ground and make it playable, was sent off for violent conduct in the 59th minute but three superb saves by McCor-

mack in a five-minute period of the second half to deny Cedric Permal, L’Enclume then CJ Hodgson kept Strikers in the contest.

Pines keeper Alfonso Cardinale took three attempts to gather a mistimed defensive header that threatened to loop over him in the 68th minute and featured in the final act of a hard-fought affair when he was able to tip Sam Scott’s glancing header over the bar in the 95th minute.

Pines signed ex-Bentleigh Greens striker Jayden Zahra from Berwick City last week and he came off the bench in the second half.

The result leaves Strikers third bottom just two points above the relegation zone.

It may be time for Seaford United to hoist the white flag after Saturday’s 8-1 hammering from Mazenod United, a result which firmly anchors the local side to the foot of the State 2 South-East ladder five points from safety with a crippling minus 28 goal difference.

Mazenod led 6-0 at half-time and Seaford’s meek response came from substitute Conor McFall in the 71st minute five minutes after coming on.

Skye United maintained its tenuous grip on second spot in State 3 South-East with a come-from-behind 2-1 away win over South Yarra on Saturday.

The deadlock was broken in the 58th minute when Abdelhadi Deroune opened the scoring for the home side from a direct free-kick just outside the box.

Skye gaffer Billy Armour rolled the dice and threw on Wumjock Jock who made an instant impact.

In the 74th minute a Mark O’Connor free kick was met by Jason Nowakowski and the ball dropped to striker Daniel Attard whose touch fell in the direction of Jock who made no mistake from close range.

In the 90th minute Marcus Collier picked up a loose ball and played it into Attard’s feet.

With his back to goal the lanky striker flicked the ball up with his right foot and tucked it away with his left much to the delight of the travelling Skye faithful.

Skye remains one point ahead of

Brandon Park which narrowed the goal difference margin with a 6-3 away win over Collingwood.

State 4 South outfit Baxter won 5-3 away to bottom team Endeavour Hills Fire which has lost every league game this season.

Rosebud Heart featured in a goal fest at Coomoora Reserve on Saturday as it ran out a 5-4 winner over Keysborough in their State 4 South fixture.

Heart broke the deadlock in the 28th minute when a superb Blake Hicks free-kick found Cory Osorio who hit a first-time volley past Keysborough keeper Son Vu and doubled the lead just before half-time when a free-kick from Mikey Turner saw the keeper fumble and Dave Greening reacted quickest to bury the rebound.

In the 49th minute a long Hicks throw was flicked on by Daniel Hodge to Greening who headed home to grab his second.

Keysborough got back into the game in the 51st minute when Mert Sakranlioglu smashed a long-range drive into the far corner but Greening made it 4-1 in the 65th minute when he was played in by Turner and skinned a defender to grab his hattrick and 25th goal of the season.

A minute later Sakranlioglu’s well hit shot was parried by Sean Skelly and Nicolas Jacque bundled the ball home.

A Beau Sharpe own goal made it 4-3 in the 72nd minute and Deni Tintor equalised in the 82nd minute following a goalmouth scramble.

Two minutes later Sharpe went from villain to hero after playing a one-two down the left then striking an unstoppable volley that proved to be the decider.

Former Langwarrin and Baxter midfielder Tony Orr made his debut for Heart.

Somerville Eagles were on the wrong end of a 6-0 drubbing from Dandenong Warriors in a State 5 South clash on Saturday.

Family ties hit the ring with dad-daughter team

By Ben Triandafillou A FATHER and daughter fought on the same card for the first time in Victorian boxing history, according to Peninsula Boxing head coach Marcos Amada.

Peninsula Boxing took a team of three boxers to the Reggio Calabria Club in Brunswick on Sunday 23 July which included father and daughter, Scott and Tyla McDonald.

“It’s the first time in Victoria that we’ve had a father and daughter fight on the same night,” Amada said.

“We’ve been trying to organize it for a little while but it’s not quite that easy to do.

“Tyla, [now a national champion], is quite hard to find fights for and the Masters like Scott aren’t the easiest to come by either, so it took a bit of planning.”

Tyla faced the 2016 national champion, Tameriah Barney-Sandy, for the third time in her career.

Barney-Sandy has faced Tyla in the final of the national championships for the past two years, with Tyla getting the upper-hand in April, when she was crowned the national cham-

pion of the ‘Schoolgirls Division’.

Queenslander, Barney-Sandy, was victorious at their latest encounter last Sunday in a fight which was “50/50” said Armada.

“We lost a fight but, I know it’s a

cliché thing to say, but when we lose fights we learn from them,” he said.

“The nerves and her own performance anxiety in knowing she’s at the top and the one everyone wants to beat probably got the best of her.

Former Southern umpire celebrates century

By Ben Triandafillou IT has been a long journey for former Southern Umpire Association boundary umpire, Andrew Leggo, but on Saturday 5 August he will celebrate his 100th Senior VFL game at Etihad Stadium.

Leggo, 31, started his career at 15-years-old where he juggled boundary umpiring and playing football for Frankston until he was 20-years-old.

“My dad always had faith in me and my umpiring, and he saw a bit of potential but I never took it up seriously until I was 20,” he said.

“It’s probably one of my biggest regrets as who knows where I would be now if I had started earlier.”

“I’ve never been a natural athlete so I have had to try and get the best out of myself by putting in the hard yards.”

Leggo said that fitness was the main barrier holding him back but he has just continued to work hard and stay committed.

“Fitness was never my strong point and when I first went up to the VFL they were a bit reluctant as I had this perception that I was more of a social person,” he said.

“They were a bit short on um-

pires in the VFL at the time so they took up a lot of young guys.

“I was able to throw the ball in quite well which probably kept me on but at the end of the second year they said I really needed to work on my fitness if I was to stay.

“I had always been a bit naive and never realised how important pre-season training was until I did some preparation with the Frankston Dolphins.

“I’m now one of those people who don’t like to sit around and this year I was able to set a new personal best in my fitness tests.

“My dad, who was my number fan, passed away in 2010 and wasn’t able to watch me umpire a senior’s match but he has been a huge inspiration for me.

“I saw how hard he was doing it towards the end and that has changed me and motivated me to improve and get better.”

Leggo runs about 15-20kms per game as a boundary umpire and has run in the past three Melbourne Marathons.

Leggo has been umpiring seniors VFL for the past six years and he said he is now at a stage where his main focus is to just enjoy each game of umpiring.

k the h same mistakes i k “We won’t make again and will work on her mental wellbeing, visualization and prepare her for next time.

“We are moving on and have organized another rematch with her up in Queensland next time. No family, no pressure, and no one saying that you’ve beaten this girl before, you can beat her again. None of that added pressure that she doesn’t need as a young aspiring athlete.”

Scott’s fight suffered a setback and was looking unlikely to go ahead with his original opponent withdrawing earlier in the week.

“I rang some of the trainers and we managed to get a guy from South Australia who was ready to go,” Amada said.

“Then Scott got in the ring and did what Scott normally does.”

At just his third boxing fight, Scott stopped his opponent with a knockout in the first minute.

“That was only Scott’s third fight and his opponent had had a handful of kickboxing fights and about seven boxing fights,” Amada said.

“No one has made the distance with Scott so we don’t know how he’s going to go over three rounds because he’s never had to go that far.”

Amada said the McDonald’s are great to have around the gym and are both genuinely easy to coach.

“I don’t have to force them to train, I don’t have to force them to do anything, and they are both very receptive to new ideas, criticisms and improvements.”

“They both know what they have to do to improve which makes my job a lot easier.”

April Franks, an assistant at the Peninsula Boxing gym, also joined the team in the ring at Brunswick and won by unanimous-decision to defeat a gutsy opponent.

Following her victory, Franks headed to the Australian Elite Golden Gloves in Western Australia which was held over the weekend.

Wheelchair basketball starts up

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON District Basketball Association hosted the first wheelchair basketball clinic on the Mornington Peninsula on Sunday 23 July.

Eight eager wheelchair basketball players attended the clinic all giving more than positive feedback, said Mornington District Basketball Association representative, Ella Linton-Smith.

“All the kids were beaming and had a great time,” she said.

“One of the parents sent me an email afterwards thanking us and explained

that the kids were exhausted but couldn’t wait to come back again.”

A Basketball Victoria representative helped coach the first session alongside Ted Stammers who was on hand to share his many years of experience as being a basketball player, coach and referee of almost 50 years.

The clinic will continue to run every Sunday for an hour starting at 1pm.

While the clinic was attended by mainly kids under the age of 18, Linton-Smith said it was completely a coincidence and that anyone is welcomed to come along.
