Seniors free travel plan Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au POLITICIANS are sometimes accused of taking a free ride at taxpayers’ expense but a new initiative could see Victorian seniors enjoy free public transport.

Frankston MP Geoff Shaw, no stranger to the pain transport costs can inflict after being sanctioned by

CRIMINAL LAWYER • HIGHLY EXPERIENCED WITH OVER 3500 APPEARANCES IN COURT OVER THE LAST 18 YEARS

ASHLEY TICKNER

the Parliamentary Privileges Committee over the improper personal use of a parliamentary vehicle, will introduce a private members bill if he is re-elected that would see seniors travel for free on trains, buses and trams.

“For those seniors on pensions, travel can absorb a significant part of their income on a weekly basis and this can cause many to become isolated as they reduce their travel in or-

der to cut down on living expenses,” Mr Shaw said.

Elderly rights campaigner John Murray lobbied Mr Shaw to back the prospect of free public transport for seniors.

“I approached Geoff because he was an independent… I tried some of the other state MPs, gave them a leaflet and told them to give me a ring and none of them got back to me,” Mr Murray said.

Environment call to marginals Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ENVIRONMENTAL activists are targeting Frankston voters to make action on climate change a high-profile political point in the lead up to the state election.

Environment Victoria and online activist group GetUp! have joined forces to spread the word about environmental issues in the marginal bayside seats of Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc.

The organisations are pooling resources at the Enviro Hub at Wells St in Frankston and hitting the phones, streets and doors in the marginal electorates to try to convince voters to “send a strong message to our politicians” to “pledge to vote for your environment and your future”.

Environment Victoria opened the doors of the Enviro Hub for the first time in June this year.

Environmental Victoria community organiser said local voters had been receptive to holding major political parties to account over environmental policies.

“Politicians tell us people are not interested in the environment as an issue but we find that’s definitely not the case,” Ms Stabb said.

She said Environment Victoria had decided to campaign in Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc since they are marginal seats which could potentially hold the balance of power at the 29 November state election.

“These seats are important at state and federal level so political parties

take a great interest in the issues raised.”

Environment Victoria is also campaigning in Forest Hill, east of Melbourne.

The organisation has about 200 volunteers “on the ground” in the four marginal electorates and aims to convince at least 770 voters in Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc to think about the environment first when deciding which candidate to vote for on polling day.

The 770 represents the collective number of votes in the margins in Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc held by independent MP Geoff Shaw and

Liberal MPs Donna Bauer and Lorraine Wreford respectively.

Ms Stabb insisted Environment Victoria is non-partisan but said there had been “really destructive attacks on the environment since 2010 when the Coalition government was elected” in Victoria.

She said the government had walked away from a commitment to cut carbon emissions by 20 per cent by 2020, cut solar power feed-in tariffs, was pushing development in national parks such as Point Nepean and was “anti-wind farms” as a renewable energy source.

“They’ve made it more difficult to build a wind farm than open a mine,” Ms Stabb said.

She said the Labor Party and Australian Greens candidates had been “most receptive” to talking about environmental issues and they had spoken “informally” to candidates from all major parties.

“We haven’t been able to formally sit down with any of the Liberal candidates yet... we have invited them to come in to the Enviro Hub and talk at any time.”

GetUp! community organiser Claire Boland said the activist group, re-

nowned for its online campaigns and fund raising, had decided to team up with Environment Victoria in Frankston since “we were looking at the same communities to campaign in to make a difference”.

Ms Boland reckoned “about 80 per cent” of the people door knocked by GetUp! agree to sign the pledge to make the environment “the top issue” when they decide how to vote.

Voters mention bayside foreshore protection and “Mordialloc green wedges” as key subjects political parties should consider when deciding on policies.

“We’re pushing quite hard to make the environment their number one election issue,” Ms Boland said.

She said GetUp! members and supporters had made it clear climate change and the environment was their “number one issue” when polled by the activist group.

GetUp! had not yet decided whether to hand out ‘how to vote’ cards on polling day, according to Ms Boland.

“We’re non-politically aligned and we’re still in internal discussions about that,” she said.

Ms Stabb said Environment Victoria would not tell voters how to vote.

She said Environment Victoria’s alliance with GetUp! over the past three months had “absolutely supersized” the grassroots campaign to make the environment a state election focus in the targeted marginal bayside seats.

Passengers ‘injured, stranded’ by wheelchair accessible taxis Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au A SERIES of disturbing reports concerning elderly and disabled wheelchair accessible taxi passengers who were allegedly seriously injured, stranded outdoors overnight and subjected to degrading treatment while travelling in the Frankston and peninsula region is under investigation.

Brotherhood of St Laurence Frankston staff said complaints had been lodged with the Victorian Taxi Directorate over the treatment of four clients, while Taxi Services Commissioner Graeme Samuel is also looking into the allegations.

In the most recent incident, a 75-year-old woman who has multiple sclerosis and is confined to a wheelchair was forced to spend the night in a bus shelter at Carrum Downs in “freezing” conditions after the taxi she booked failed to arrive.

Marice Hanary-Gleeson said she had booked a wheelchair accessible taxi a day in advance to take her home on the evening of this year’s AFL grand final following a game of bingo and had then made multiple follow-up calls throughout the night when the taxi didn’t show up.

She waited in a bus shelter on Frankston-Dandenong Rd “petrified and freezing cold” until 5am when she was able to catch the first 901 bus service of the day to Frankston.

Mr Samuel described the incident as “completely unacceptable” and said he had spoken to Frankston Radio Cabs about the matter.

In a previous incident, an elderly woman’s leg was broken when her wheelchair tipped over while travelling in a wheelchair accessible taxi.

Earlier in the year, two disabled passengers were strapped together by their legs in the back of wheelchair accessible taxi.

Brotherhood of St Laurence staff said the middle-aged man and women were “clearly very distressed” but where not able to verbally com-

municate with driver. A BCL staff member intervened and demanded the driver properly secure the wheelchairs.

BSL Frankston senior manager Michael Hillier said the incidents were likely only the tip of the iceberg and illustrated the difficulties people with mobility issues faced.

“Several serious incidents have occurred this year where our clients have been seriously injured because they haven’t been secured appropriately,” Mr Hillier said.

“For instance, strapping two people physically together rather than securing their wheelchairs to the base of the vehicle. These incidents can be frightening and degrading, and importantly, pose a serious risk to health and safety.”

He said the problem appeared to lie with “inexperience or poor training of drivers”.

There have also been growing problems with bookings following the introduction of a new centralised booking system by Frankston Taxis.

“We have a good relationship with Frankston taxis, who have worked hard to help manage our transport needs for our community activities,” Mr Hillier said. “However, since they centralised their booking system, we have noticed a decline in their understanding and responsiveness to the needs of our clients.

“Sometimes we have had bookings in place two days in advance, especially on the Mornington Peninsula, and the driver doesn’t show up, meaning the person not only misses out on the activity, but occasionally is out of pocket too if they have pre-paid for an event.”

Frankston Radio Cabs general manager Kevin Dunn said the company was treating the allegations very seriously and was awaiting the findings of an investigation into the most recent incident.

However, he said the company and drivers did all they could to ensure timely and safe transportation of all passengers.

New fire station, oval pitched A NEW Carrum Downs fire station and major upgrade of Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve will be a priority for a re-elected Coalition government, according to Premier Denis Napthine.

The Premier visited Carrum Downs to announce an extra $675,000 on top of $2.82 million already allocated in the state budget towards the construction of a new CFA station on the corner of Wedge and Dandenong-Frankston Roads.

“This investment will fund the construction of a new station, which will strengthen emergency response capabilities in Carrum Downs and also provide the brigade with the capacity to extend their service coverage to Dandenong South,” Dr Napthine said.

Liberal Carrum MP Donna Bauer welcomed the funding boost.

“This is a significant investment for Carrum Downs, and for the hardworking and dedicated volunteer firefighters who protect our local com-

munity, responding to around 450 callouts each year,” Mrs Bauer said.

“It will ensure our local brigade is better equipped to respond to emergencies now and well into the future. Volunteers are the backbone of Victoria’s emergency response and it is absolutely vital that we continue to invest in our fire services to ensure safer communities.”

Several community and sporting groups will also benefit from a $1.1m upgrade of the Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve.

The Skye Football Netball Club, Carrum Downs Cricket Club, Carrum Downs Tennis Club and other groups will be able to use an upgraded oval and a new pavilion that will include social and changing room facilities.

Mrs Bauer thanked Frankston Council for their help to prioritise the project.

“By working together we are able to get a big win for emergency services and another big win for local sport,” she said.

Super heroes assemble for sand show MARVEL super heroes, Stars Wars, Disney and Pixar characters will be on display at this year’s sand sculpting exhibition at Frankston’s waterfront.

More than 3,500 tonnes of sand will be carved into spectacular sculptures to bring ‘Friends, Foes and Super Heroes’ to life in giant-sized proportions on display from Boxing Day until 26 April next year.

Visitors will be greeted by a sand masterpiece of Disney’s Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and will then be able to journey through the magical sand pathways to have their photo taken with the Disney Princesses and Pixar characters such as Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Lightning McQueen and Mater.

Fans will also be able to get up close to Marvel’s legendary heroes, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk and The Avengers as the strength of Marvel Super Heroes is on display.

Star Wars fans are also in for a treat as they can look upon in awe at the sand creations of Yoda, Jabba the Hut and ultimate foe Darth Vadar, along with detailed sand creations of the might of the Empire’s Death Star and Rebel symbol of a new hope Luke’s X-wing fighter. Sandpeople may also be lurking…

Walt Disney Australia’s chief marketing officer Kylie Watson-Wheeler said the company is “thrilled to offer families and fans of all ages the opportunity to connect with beloved Disney and Pixar characters, as well as their favourite Marvel and Star Wars heroes, through the Sand Sculpting Australia event.”

Frankston Council is hosting the popular annual Sand Sculpting Australia exhibition for the seventh year.

“With so many family-friendly attractions and activities available in Frankston, we are delighted to see a theme which will encourage generations to get together and celebrate,

have fun and create more cherished family memories,” deputy mayor, Cr Rebekah Spelman said.

More than 130,000 people ventured to the Frankston Waterfront to see the brilliant sand sculptures last year and Sandstorm Events director Sharon Redmond is confident this visitor

record will be surpassed again this season.

“I am really thrilled to be able to present these much-loved characters to the Australian public in this emerging art form,” Mrs Redmond said.

See www.sandsculpting.com.au for further details.

FRANKSTON and peninsula residents have been warned to take extreme care when burning off as temperatures start to rise.

CFA Assistant Chief Officer Trevor Owen said conditions changed quickly and fires could get out of control within minutes in hot and windy conditions.

“The effects of an out-of-control fire can be devastating and we want everyone to excise extreme caution, especially with summer only just beginning,” Mr Owen said.

CFA community safety manager for the South East Region Jude Kennedy said that although the official fire danger period was yet to come into force, residents needed to be aware of weather conditions and council regulations.

“We’re also reminding people to always register their burn-offs so we know what is happening in the area, especially if brigades are being called to fires,” Mr Kennedy said.

“It reduces the chances of CFA brigades being called out unnecessarily if a member of the public calls about smoke or a fire in the area.”

He added that people should never leave a burn-off unattended as it’s the resident’s responsibility to ensure that it does not get out of control.

“If a burn off gets out of control, call ‘000’ immediately. People should have a fire plan and prepare for the event of fire, and remember never to be complacent.”

To register a burn-off with the CFA, contact 1800 668 511.

Free travel for seniors plan Continued from Page 1 Mr Shaw’s push for free public transport travel for seniors comes at the start of the official campaign period ahead of the state election on 29 November.

Voters’ dissatisfaction with public transport, especially on the Frankston line, is regarded as one of the main reasons Mr Shaw won the Frankston seat for the Liberals from then Labor MP Alastair Harkness at 2010’s poll.

Mr Shaw subsequently resigned from the Liberal Party’s parliamentary branch in early 2013, unhappy the party had not backed him over allegations he misused his parliamentary car and fuel card.

He severed all ties with the Liberals in March this year, quitting as a party member just before the party was due to hold a meeting to decide whether to expel him.

BURDETT’S

Victoria’s Office of Public Prosecutions dropped all dishonesty charges against Mr Shaw in December last year but that did not stop the Victorian Parliament’s Privileges Committee in June this year finding Mr Shaw allowed his parliamentary car and fuel card to be used by employees of his hardware business.

Mr Shaw faces a tough political battle to remain Frankston’s MP, holding a slim margin of just 0.4 per cent after electorate boundaries redistribution.

Liberal Party candidate Sean Armistead and Labor candidate Paul Edbrooke hope to win the seat for their respective parties.

The Times sought comment from opposition spokeswoman for public transport Jill Hennessy as to whether Labor would back Mr Shaw’s free seniors public transport proposal but did not hear back before publication.

Snapper anglers in spotlight POLICE, fisheries officials and maritime safety officers were out in force over the weekend as thousands of recreation anglers hit Port Phillip and Western Port for the country’s biggest snapper competition.

With more than 2000 people and hundreds of boats expected to take part in the annual fishing competition, which coincides with the start of the snapper season, uniformed and water police, Fisheries Victoria officials and Transport Safety Victoria officers were keen to ensure safety regulations and bag limits were being observed.

Boats, trailers and vehicles were inspected at boat ramps across the bayside, Frankston and peninsula region, while police also conducted breath tests and checked safety equipment.

Fisheries Victoria acting director for education and enforcement Ian Parks said fisheries officers would be focusing on size and bag limits in addition to checking licences during Operation Raptor, which will runs from the Melbourne Cup weekend across the holiday season.

He said fisheries officers would be targeting snapper anglers in Port Phillip and Western Port day and night over the course of the season, so it was vital fishermen stuck to the mandated catch limits.

“Fisheries officers will be out in marked and unmarked vessels, seizing boats and fishing equipment where snapper bag and size limits have been exceeded,” Mr Parks said.

“Anglers who breach snapper bag and size limits face multiple fines of up to $433 on the spot, or $10,000 and/or six months imprisonment.

“The courts can prohibit offenders from fishing altogether for up to 12 months if found guilty of recreational fishing offences and, for serious offences, this prohibition can be even greater.”

The minimum legal length for snapper is 28cm and the bag limit is 10, of which only three can equal or exceed 40cm. Snapper must be landed whole so Fisheries Officers can measure them.

Mr Parks urged members of the public to report suspect illegal snapper fishing by calling the 13FISH (13 3474) intelligence reporting line.

The state government announced last Friday additional boating safety officers had been deployed across Victoria to assist Transport Safety Victoria’s maritime safety branch in promoting safety on the water this summer.

Minister for Ports David Hodgett said the extra boating safety officers, funded under the state government’s Boating Safety and Facilities Program, would play an important role in educating the state’s estimated 270,000 recreational boaters and help to spread information about boating safety.

“I am also pleased to support a stronger on-water safety team this boating season which will be underpinned by a state-wide campaign reminding boaters to wear life jackets,” Mr Hodgett said.

“This campaign will highlight the devastation that not wearing a lifejacket can have on friends and loved ones who are left behind.”

TSV director of maritime safety Peter Corcoran said boating safety officers played a key role in promoting the safety of all waterway users.

He said that while most boaters did the right thing on the water, a large number of avoidable serious injuries and deaths occurred each year.

He said latest TSV figures showed that in 2013-14 there were 1287 recreational boating incidents, including 1012 vessel disablements.

Tragically, 10 boaters lost their lives on Victorian waters during the same period.

Getting a wriggle on CHILDREN at Seaford’s Nepean Special School explored the world of worms last Wednesday and learned how worms can help reduce rubbish by converting organic waste into fertilizer. Starting with a story and ending with a song, children looked at live worms up close, used puppets and props to explore worms’ favourite foods and built a pretend worm farm. Pictured are the Gould League’s Heather Maginn and Giaan with worms from the worm farm.

Skylift goes to VCAT A HEARING into objections to the proposed Arthurs Seat Skylift starts in the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal this week.

Skylift consortium leader Simon McKeon said last week that the main objections centred on the Skylift top station being built at the summit rather than where the run of the original two-seater chairlift ended.

He said building a top station to cater for multi-person gondolas where the old chairlift ended would require cutting down many trees, especially under the latest bushfire regulations.

“I respect their [the objectors’ views] but it would be wrong to go back down the hill … it’s already mostly cleared at the top of the hill.”

Mr McKeon said the consortium would have legal representation at the VCAT hearing, as would Parks Victoria, although the objections were aimed at the planning permit issued by Morning-

ton Peninsula Shire.

He said the top station, designed with the help of the Victorian government architect, would not be visible from lower down Arthurs Seat.

Mr McKeon, a lawyer “early in my career”, said he had learnt that “you don’t get arrogant in litigation” and was expecting the hearing to run for more than a week.

However, all going well, he hoped the Skylift would be in service by mid-2016.

He believed the objectors “had no problems with the old two-seater” chairlift going back, but the Parks Victoria tender had stipulated that its replacement should be accessible to all.

The consortium could make more money investing its $14-$16 million in BHP “but I agree with Parks that everyone should be able to sample our parks – the Skylift will be quiet and electronically driven”.

Peninsula leads way for visitors Chris Brennan chris@baysidenews.com.au THE Mornington Peninsula has affirmed its status as the state’s No.1 vistor destination after winning eight of 32 categories at last week’s 2014 RACV Victorian Tourism Awards – more than any other region.

Leading the way were multi-award winning peninsula drawcards Enchanted Adventure Garden, Peninsula Hot Springs and Moonlit Sanctuary, while Mornington Peninsula Tourism’s Wine Food Farmgate program was named the state’s best regional marketing campaign in its first year of operation.

Other peninsula category winners included Red Hill’s Green Oliver winery, Stillwater at Crittenden, Queenscliff-Sorrento ferry operator Searoad Ferries and Frankston Visitor Information Centre.

Mornington Peninsula Regional

Tourism Board executive chairwomanTracey Cooper said the peninsula tourism team was “proud to see such a rich field of entrants” from the region.

“The Mornington Peninsula tourism industry continues to evolve and it is pleasing to see new businesses and first time entrants participate.”

Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonella Celi also congratulated the winners, and acknowledged the role they play within the local tourism industry and its contribution to the economy of the Mornington Peninsula.

She said it was particularly pleasing the peninsula’s renowned food and wine industries leading the way, especially in light of Tourism Australia’s latest global marketing campaign which focuses on the country’s “exceptional food and wine experiences”.

Tourism Australia chief marketing officer Nick Baker said extensive research showed food and wine were the most important factors in holiday deci-

sion making among both domestic and international visitors.

Food and wine producers were the “stars” of Tourism Australia’s latest international marketing campaign, which aims to boost visitor numbers by highlighting the country’s “unique and exceptional food and wine experiences” being served-up at “remarkable locations” such as the peninsula.

Mornington Peninsula Tourism’s Wine Food Farmgate program, launched late last year in an effort to harness the region’s food and wine “experiences”, won the RACV Victorian Tourism destination marketing award, while Green Olive picked up the excellence in food tourism award and Stillwater at Crittenden was named best tourism restaurant and catering service.

Wine Food Farmgate is a website and trail kit with map that guides visitors to the peninsula’s best restaurants, farmgates, general stores, old pubs, artisan producers and microbreweries.

Tourism Minister Louise Asher said Monday night’s awards, which were held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, had celebrated and recognised outstanding achievement in the state's tourism sector over 30 years.

"Today tourism contributes $19.6 billion to Victoria's economy, comprising our second largest export industry, and employing more than 200,000 people across Melbourne and regional Victoria," Ms Asher said Pearcedale’s Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park was named the state’s best eco tourism business at Monday’s award ceremony, adding to its swag of regional, state, national and international awards, while Enchanted Adventure Garden was named best adventure tourism operator, and Peninsula Hot Springs best regional tourist attraction.

The eight peninsula winners will represent Victoria at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards in Adelaide in April next year.

Tourism centre top of class again YOU can’t keep a good team down as the Frankston Visitor Information Centre has proved for a third year running.

They have been awarded top honours in the Visitor Information and Services category at the RACV 2014 Victorian Tourism Awards after successes in 2012 and 2013.

Frankston City Council will now enter the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards in April as Victoria’s representatives, where they will also be in the running to enter the National Hall of Fame.

The Frankston centre beat some stiff competition from across the state to claim the gold prize at a gala dinner at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre last week.

With around 913,000 visitors to Frankston each year and a local population of 133,000, the centre plays an important role in local tourism. It services about 83,000 people who visit annually either in person, email or phone, and receives more than 219,000 website visits.

The centre, opened in 2007, is owned and managed by the council.

It provides a number of services, including ticketing, booking and community services, encompassing a wide range of customer needs. The VIC also offers a range of regional produce and Australian-made souvenirs and gifts for sale.

“We are thrilled to be entered into

Winning team: Acting manager community relations Sam Jackson, deputy mayor Cr Rebekah Spelman, Cr Suzette Tayler, director corporate development Tim Frederico, senior visitor information officer Melanie Grinter, director community development Dr Gillian Kay, visitor information centre officer Natalie Nash, Cr James Dooley, visitor information centre officer Marilyn Ambrose, coordinator tourism and visitor services Amy Parsons.

the Hall of Fame,” Frankston City deputy mayor Rebekah Spelman said.

“Located on the waterfront, the VIC’s services are delivered by passionate volunteers who work alongside council staff and offer intrinsic knowledge about the region to its visitors and greet

everyone with big smiles. The continued success of the VIC can be attributed to the team’s commitment to the region and friendly natures.”

She said the third consecutive award was proof of Frankston’s position as a regional hub of tourism, as well as

business and services.

“Frankston has world-class beaches, great restaurants and is a home of arts and culture and hosts some amazing events and attractions. It’s a great place to visit and an ideal place to live.”

Tosca role for Frankston opera singer FRANKSTON’S Steven Gallop will sing a principal role in Opera Australia’s Tosca at the Arts Centre from 12 November-13 December.

He has the pivotal role at the beginning of the story as Angelotti, a political fugitive who hides in a church.

Gallop has spent much of his career in Europe, working for several opera houses. He came back to Australia in 2008 and lives in Frankston.

His performances here include The Bonze in Madam Butterfly for Opera Australia, The Commendatore in Don Giovanni, Ariodate in Xerxes, Achilla in Julius Caesar, and Sarastro - all for Victorian Opera. Also, Mephistofeles, Georgio in I Puritani and Rocco in Fidelio for

Treading the boards: Frankston’s Steven Gallup plays Angelotti, a political fugitive, in Tosca.

Melbourne Opera. Most recently he was the Marquis of Calatrava in La Forze del Destino and The Bonze for State Opera of South Australia.

His concert engagements include performances at Vienna’s Musikverien, Verdi's Requiem in the UK and Victorian Opera’s Gala in 2012.

Tosca takes place over just two days - with its heartbreaking story of love and death unravelling at startling speed. It centres on opera singer Floria Tosca, who is forced to make a terrible sacrifice to save her lover who has been imprisoned and tortured for harbouring an escaped political prisoner.

The narrative is driven by the actions of Scarpia, the Chief of Police - a man who knows

no boundaries in his determination to claim Tosca as his own.

Performances are 7.30pm on 12, 15, 18, 22, 26 and 29 November and 2, 5 and 10 December. Saturday matinees are at 1pm on 11 November and 13 December. The duration is three hours with two intervals.

The show is in Italian with English subtitles.

Tickets are from $59 (fees may apply). Group and concessions tickets are available for most performances as is Student Rush for $50 (plus transaction/handling fee).

Child killer caused death of second girl: coroner Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au A NAVAL rating based at HMAS Cerberus in Crib Point who was jailed for murdering a 12-year-old girl near Warneet in 1969 also caused the death of a seven-year-old girl in St Kilda in 1968, deputy state coroner Ian West said last week.

Derek Ernest Percy died on 24 July last year at age 64. Four days earlier he had refused to answer questions about the disappearance of Linda Stilwell who was last seen on St Kilda foreshore near Luna Park on 10 August 1968. Her body was never found.

The attempt to extract a deathbed confession as Percy lay dying from lung cancer at St Vincent's Hospital failed.

Last week Mr West said: "I find that Derek Percy caused the death of Linda Jane Stilwell."

Mr West commended the work of Detective Senior Sergeant Wayne Newman, who first reviewed the Stilwell case in 2004 and established similarities between the abductions of Yvonne Tuohy near Warneet and Linda Stilwell, and identified Percy as the prime suspect.

Mr West said Percy had the capacity to "commit a heinous act", as his abduction and killing of Tuohy demonstrated.

Percy was arrested over the death of Yvonne Tuohy in July 1969 but was found unfit to plea and jailed indefinitely. He was the only Victorian prisoner held at the "governor's pleasure".

Percy had been questioned about the deaths or disappearances of seven other children in Australia including two of the nation's highest profile cases of the 20th century:

Coroner’s ruling: Derek Percy, above, two years before he died at age 64, has been found responsible for the death of seven-year-old Linda Stilwell, who disappeared from St Kilda in 1968.

• The murders of 15-year-olds Christine Sharrock and Marianne Schmidt on Sydney's Wanda Beach in January 1965, while Percy, then 17, was holidaying nearby with his parents.

• The disappearance of the Beaumont children (Jane, 9, Arnna, 7, and Grant, 4), abducted from Glenelg Beach near Adelaide on Australia Day in 1966. Percy admitted to police he was in Adelaide at the time.

• The murder of Allen Redston, 6, in Canberra in September 1966. The boy

left his home to go to a nearby milk bar for ice-cream. The following day his body was discovered concealed in reeds by a creek. He had been hogtied and had plastic wrapped around his throat. When Percy was questioned in 1969, he confirmed taking a family holiday in Canberra that year.

• The death of Simon Brook, 3, in Sydney in May 1968, taken from the yard of his home in Glebe. By this time Percy had left school and joined the navy. He lived at the naval base at Garden Island and commuted through

Glebe to the dock.

Last week Detective Senior Sergeant Newman said he formed the opinion Percy was involved in the Stilwell case when the investigation was reopened a decade ago. Detective Newman said he was "absolutely" certain Percy killed Linda Stilwell.

Percy was based at Cerberus when he was arrested just hours after Yvonne Tuohy's kidnapping in 1969.

Her mutilated body was found in bushland at Devon Meadows, a short drive from Warneet.

Peninsula Fireplace

Centre

Police acted on information from Shane Spiller, a 12-year-old boy with Yvonne at Warneet's Ski Beach in the coastal reserve between Blind Bight and Warneet on an isolated part of Rutherford Inlet, which flows into Western Port.

The boy escaped from the kidnapper’s clutches by brandishing his tomahawk, and ran for his life through the bush to raise the alarm.

Police were called and raced to Warneet. Spiller told them Percy had taken the girl in an orange station wagon.

He gave detectives a drawing of a sticker he'd seen on its rear window, a Royal Australian Navy insignia.

Police drove to Cerberus and found Percy in a laundry, trying to wash Yvonne's blood from his clothes.

Shane Spiller was haunted by the incident for the rest of his life and disappeared from Wyndham, a small town on the NSW south coast near Merimbula, in 2002 at the age of 44.

Percy amassed more than $300,000 during his years behind bars. Although he was with the navy for only 20 months, he continued to collect ComSuper payments of up to $20,000 a year, based on 60 per cent of a recruit's annual salary.

In 2007, police found 35 cardboard boxes and tea chests filled with material from Percy in a South Melbourne storage depot.

They alleged the material included clippings on sex crimes, stories Percy had written on how to commit child abductions, and items that appeared to implicate him in unsolved murders. There was also a valuable stamp collection.

Police discovered Percy had leased storage units since 1970, had more than $300,000 in the bank and had successfully invested in gold.

OBITUARY

Death of peninsula music’s biggest fan OVER the course of several decades Hadyn Godony was one of the most consistent performers at live music venues in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula.

However, his reason for being on stage, backstage or mingling with the crowd was not so much making music, but driven by a love for the music and the need to photographically record the event.

Hadyn organised events and was seen by musicians as their biggest fan – he was a lifelong, devoted supporter.

Sadly, the music finished for Hadyn just after midnight Monday 27 October, when he passed away at The Alfred, where he had been receiving treatment for about five weeks.

A man of ideas and strong opinions, Hadyn carved himself a niche in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula music and live venue market.

His “Hotshots”, most often of groups of smiling people at clubs and pubs, for many years cornered the market in the various mastheads published by the Independent News Group. The pages of small head-filled photos were often the first opened, especially by young people who readily volunteered their poses for his camera.

Hadyn was responsible for the content of the papers’ entertainment section, Nightmoves, filling columns with reviews: restaurants, records and films all came within his field of expertise.

That interest saw him transition to Fairfax Community Network when it took over The Independent and subsequently changed the newspapers’ format, rebranding them as The Weekly. Always intensely loyal to whichever publication he was working for, Hadyn stayed with various papers under The Weekly banner until they folded in mid-2013. He contributed work to the Mornington Peninsula News Group, publisher of this newspaper, until early this year.

At the time of his death he was working for Mornington Peninsula Magazine, owned by his long-time friend, Lisa Walton.

As his editor for several years, I appreciated Hadyn’s take on life, his optimism and ideas.

He would often make suggestions about our publications and, if rejected, wait a few weeks and make another play with the same idea, only repackaged. He was terrier-like.

I visited him in hospital some years before he was finally taken by cancer. He lay on a bed quietly as fluid drained from his lungs into a bottle at the bedside. He made no complaint, just asked me about the current week’s papers and spoke as if he’d be back the following week.

And, of course, he was.

Before his death, at 58, last week, Hadyn penned what has now become his own epitaph: “In the winter of 1976 I fell in love with a girl who lived in Rosebud. In a heartbeat, I left my job at Kodak in Coburg and moved to McCombe St, next to what is now Port Phillip Plaza.

Dedicated: Hadyn Godony was a dedicated supporter of the live music scene in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. Picture: Gary Sissons

I soon discovered that I had plonked down in a place that I still call paradise.

I’ve revelled in a blessed life since; enjoyed two marriages and two divorces, and lived at 11 peninsula addresses.

Many of the most gorgeous years were spent at the former famous-farmhouse, Willochra, on the old Nepean Highway in Safety Beach.

Now, I love being in this 100-year-old clinker brick in Mornington.

My first ‘real’ job, on the peninsula, was at Hastings High School where I scored a super spot as the lab tech in the science department.

All the while loving music and hovering on the edge of the local scene, I fell into job writing about peninsula nightlife for the (then) local papers The Independent and The Mail.

Carrying a camera soon became part of that and led to the Hotshots pages in a section called “Nightmoves”.

In 2007 they cut some chunks outta me, and gave me a five per cent chance of seeing this decade. I’m thankful for the angel on my shoulder.

State urged to delay lease for Point plan Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au SUNDAY week was a red flag day for the state government and developers wanting to run a spa-based tourist operation in the Quarantine Station precinct of Point Nepean National Park.

The “red alert picnic protest” at plans unveiled by the Premier Dr Denis Napthine in July leasing land and buildings to the Point Leisure Group for a five-star resort, including thermal pools and spa, a health and wellness centre, accommodation (luxury and camping), shops, cafes, restaurants, a “heritage” museum and jetty.

Protesters on Sunday urged the state government not to sign the lease before the 29 November election and for the proposal to “go back to the drawing broad”.

It also coincided with the release of a Victorian National Parks Association survey showing 56 per cent of Victorian’s opposed 99-year private leases in national parks, with 17 per cent in agreement.

Dr Napthine said the company run by Richard and Trine Shelmerdine proposed to spend $100 making Point Nepean an international tourism destination.

However, the announcement was greeted with less enthusiasm by groups and individuals who successfully fought against plans to develop the historic precinct by the former Liberal federal government led by John Howard.

The national park was eventually handed to Victoria with no strings attached after the election of the Labor government led by Kevin Rudd.

The current Liberal state government is negotiating a 25-99 lease with the The Point group before test bores have been made to check the availability and suitability of thermal water (hot spring) supplies.

Kate Baillieu, long time campaigner for balanced development at Point Nepean, said celebrations had been held in 2009 “when the fences that kept people out [at Point Nepean] came down”.

“Now it looks like the fences will be going up again, to lock us out. But this place belongs to all of us and we mustn't let it become the plaything of one property developer.”

Ms Baillieu said a long term lease for the public land was “tantamount to selling it off”.

“Community and environment groups believe consultation, planning and leasing processes are inadequate to protect the historic and environmental integrity of the national park and its heritage precinct.

"Handing one property developer a 99-year lease like this is as good as privatising the national park, something we’ve spent years fighting against. We thought we'd won, but now I believe this is just the first step on the way to privatising all of our national parks – it is a gross betrayal of our trust.”

Nepean Conservation Group president Ursula de Jong said that the national park would now “irrevocably change” if the government’s plans went ahead.

“The concept vision for a health and wellbeing resort with geothermal springs and spas, while adding another layer to the story of the Point Nepean National Park, ignores and obliterates its previous rich history. It is the right of every Victorian to be able to enjoy this National Park with its unique attributes.”

Seeing red: “Town crier” Ian Morrison, left, lent his talents to Sunday’s protest about planned development at Point Nepean National Park while Chelsea McGhee, of Sorrento, took to the stage to voice her opposition.

Hastings ‘dangerous’ as major port David Harrison david@baysidenews.com.au HASTINGS is a dangerous site to build a substantial port, freight and logistics expert Hermione Parsons told a packed meeting in Cowes.

Dr Parsons, an associate professor at Victoria University who is an expert in freight and logistics, said the Western Port site was vulnerable to strong prevailing winds in the planned wharf and ship holding area as well as subject to “very strong currents” and tidal issues.

“Any world class port needs safe anchorage,” she said. The Hastings proposal was “not responsible in my view – its just not responsible” because its “dangerous” plan to hold ships off Cowes between Phillip and French islands while they are waiting to unload.

“The Port Phillip Sea Pilots are very concerned about some safety issues

here,” she said.

“It is very likely that these ships will slip their anchor or drag their anchor, in which case they will [drift to the east into shallow water] … shallow water, all sorts of problems.”

The response to this problem was “Just put the ships between Cowes and French island. Or tell them they can’t come in, they’ll have to go back to Sydney and wait,” she said.

Dr Parsons and colleague Peter Van Duyn of Victoria University’s College of Business released a contentious report, ̔Build it – but will they come?’ in August querying Hastings as a suitable site for a major container port.

Another report due soon, ̔Hastings, a natural deep water port?’, challenges assertions that the proposed Hastings port upgrade will need little or no dredging. Dr Parsons covered this briefly in her address at Cowes.

Hastings was not a deep water port, she said. “Very substantial dredging is required, and in a Ramsar internationally protected wetlands environment. We call that the next Franklin Dam issue.

“Up there in Melbourne, people believe it’s a natural deep water port and you don’t need to dredge,” Dr Parsons said. “You do.”

Areas will have to be dredged “and re-dredged and re-dredged and redredged, because of all the silt and the sand and the movement of the waters in Western Port. So it’s a very expensive way of operating a port.’

Regular dredging would be needed at the channel entrance into the port as well as around and under the five kilometres of wharf and in the turning basin, where ships are manoeuvred so they can leave the port, she said.

“For a nine-million-container port you need about five kilometres of

wharf line,” she said. The turning basin would need to be about a kilometre long and some 750 metres wide “because of such strong winds in Western Port” to cope with the size of the container ships.

Dr Parsons said all the ships currently coming to Australia could enter Port Phillip without its channels being deepened. The shallowest port these ships visit sets the size of ships to send here, meaning that no ships requiring more than 14 metres of water depth are coming, she said.

“The big ships – which can carry up to 16,000 containers – won’t come,” she said. “They go to massive markets like Rotterdam, serving 360 million people and Shanghai, even bigger.”

Container ships coming to Melbourne will carry 6500 to 8500 containers maximum.

The biggest container ship to visit

Melbourne carried 6300 units, Dr Parsons said, only 1900 of which were unloaded.

Dr Parsons’s figures on the ability of Port Phillip to cater for ships with a 14-metre draught was confirmed recently by a report in The Age, which said the imminent arrival of an oil tanker drawing 14 metres had been electronically simulated for two years to make sure nothing went wrong.

“Even larger ships are predicted to visit Melbourne in future, prompting political debate over whether Port Phillip's shipping channels should be dredged again to accommodate them,” the report stated.

It quoted Port Phillip Sea Pilot Robert Buck saying he believed this was feasible and that Labor's Bay West proposal “should not be ruled out without further study, despite the huge amount of dredging it would require”.

Rigging up to catch a big red

By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro THIS time of year snapper are all the rage, so with this in mind here's a basic guide to get you setup for success.

Snapper are best targeted with fast tapered (soft tip and powerful butt) 4-10kg outfits.

My personal preference is for a rod of about two metres long, which gives me the ability to keep lines away from the boat and provide a greater separation between the lines.

Longer rods also help in casting lightly weighted baits. Both spinning and overhead outfits are suitable, but reels with a bait running/feeding system are preferred. This gives the angler the ability to set a preset bait feeding drag (typically no tension to one kilogram), in theory allowing in greater hookup rates.

In shallower water braided line has little advantages and a good quality 4-10kg monofilament line will suffice. Reels should be capable of holding about 260 metres of the chosen class of line.

For those fishing with reels without a bait feeding feature set the drag at about one third of the line’s breaking strength (normal drag or fighting drag setting).

In this situation the fast taper of the rod should hook the fish.

When the rod loads up simply lift/hook into the fish. This method is particularly effective when using soft baits like pilchards, couta and other fish fillets. It’s also very effective when using silver whiting and garfish heads.

When fishing for Snapper I like to uswe as many rods as possible (four a person limit).

To do this successfully you will need to use rod holders. I prefer to use a snapper rack style holder which come in both a port and starboard configuration.

The rods tips when placed in the holder should be no more than 30 degrees to the water. Rods when placed in the holders should

be regularly attended to, lines should be kept taught and baits checked regularly.

The best rig for snapper in Port Phillip is a twohook running sinker rig with 1-2 meters of 30-40lb fluorocarbon leader. I have one hook sliding and one hook fixed. Hook size is dictated by bait size.

I typically like to use big baits so more often than not I use 6/0 hooks, but in general snapper anglers will fish with hooks ranging from 2/0 – 8/0.

When fishing with a sliding hook rig I use a suicide hook as the slider and either a bait-holder, suicide or Limerick hook as the fixed hook. When fishing with a sliding hook rig make sure that your slider is either the same size or smaller than your fixed hook. This gives the bait symmetry, helping in presentation.

Always use quality hooks as snapper have very

strong jaws and tough bony mouths so hooks should be very sharp and very strong.

So get on the water and get on the fish. We are so lucky to have a world class fishery right on the doorstep of a capital city.

Remember, it's our responsibility as the users to maintain, monitor, respect and protect our beloved finite resource.

Frankston Times 3 November 2014

HEEL pain is extremely common, in-fact over 80% of Australians will suffer it at some point.

Common symptoms include: - a painful or bruising feeling first thing in the morning - throbbing at the end of the day - stiffness/soreness when standing up after sitting - pain during/after activity Experienced Musculoskeletal and Sports Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics says, “There is much misinformation about heel pain, often leading to misdiagnosis. Heel pain symptoms are most often diagnosed as either heel spurs or plantar fasciitis but this may not be accurate.”

So lets sort fact from fiction.

What is heel pain? Most heel pain occurs when the plantar fascia (connective tissues running along the bottom of the foot), becomes overloaded, resulting in degeneration of tissues.

During weight bearing activity the fascia can be strained and repeatedly pull on the heel bone, often leading to the formation of a heel spur.

However, the spur itself rarely causes pain, it’s the degeneration of the surrounding plantar fascia or soft tissue that does. This is known as Plantar Fasciosis, not Plantar Fasciitis, which most heel pain is incorrectly diagnosed as or referred to. One is degenerative, the other inflammatory in nature and they need to be treated very differently, and therefore must be diagnosed properly.

The key to assisting heel pain is, NOT to use anti-inflammatory treatments, which are too often prescribed. These won’t fix heel pain and can prolong the injury and increase the risk of further tissue damage.

The good news is there is often a simple, natural solution to heel pain.

“Most heel pain is a result of faulty foot function (or biomechanics) associated with environmental factors, but with correct diagnosis and treatment it can be assisted very effectively.

Don’t just put up with heel pain. If you’re getting treatment and not getting results, get a second opinion” Dr. Kavanagh comments.

If you’d like expert advice about heel pain call Foot and Leg Pain Clinics on 1300 328 300. Clinics are located across Melbourne, MT. ELIZA and RYE. Mention this article for $50 OFF initial consultations.

Innovation and technology is key to health SINCE The Valley Private Hospital opened nearly 30 years ago in Melbourne’s southeastern corridor, it has pioneered some landmark Australian ‘firsts’ including being the first private hospital in Australia to open an emergency department. Now servicing a growing catchment area of more than 1.5 million, the hospital’s owners Healthe Care recently completed a $40 million redevelopment to significantly upgrade The Valley’s facilities and expand its specialties to deliver a wider range of a acute services including Cardiac and Neurosurgery And while the hospital now has 150 beds (and another 60 under construction), 7 theatres a catheterisation labs, and a new state-of-the-art 10 bed intensive care unit, CEO of The Valley and South Eastern Private Hospitals, Neil Henderson, said “we needed to not only upgrade our facilities but also continue to invest in new technologies”.

There is no longer any need for patients to travel to inner city hospitals where travel and access can be time consuming and expensive.

The Valley has brought inner city technologies,

and more, to a convenient located position readily accessible to the 1.2m people in the south eastern corridor – virtually at the intersection of the M1 and EastLink. All major specialties are available including cardiothoracic and spinal and cranial neurosurgery (only obstetrics is not offered).

The world first technology now available at The Valley Private is revolutionising cardiac surgery, laparoscopic procedures and orthopaedic surgery.

Mr Henderson said that while the investment in technology will significantly improve surgical acuity and process, the biggest winners were patients in terms of improved diagnostics, reduced surgical risk, improved recovery time and better care.

With Melbourne’s south eastern region forecast to grow exponentially in coming years, master planning behind the redevelopment has ensured The Valley Private can accommodate the increasing demands of the local community, country patients, veterans and the overseas patients it currently services.

Neat and petite

Hot buying opportunity

STILL presenting in as-new condition, this fine brick-veneer unit has a well-designed floor plan and with a location close to John Paul College should appeal to the investor.

The comfortable interior has a crisp white decor with a carpeted lounge and dining area featuring split system heating and cooling. Overlooking the living zone is the kitchen with stainless-steel appliances including an under-bench oven with gas cooktop and a dishwasher. The three bedrooms are surprisingly spacious and all come with built-in robes and share the one bathroom. At the rear of the home is a small grassed area abutting a neat courtyard which can be accessed from the living area and also from the single garage which has internal access via the laundry.

THIS charming home could be your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ticket for convenience and a great lifestyle for years to come. Set on a manageable 670-square metre block, the three-bedroom home showcases a bright and elegant interior with a spacious lounge room boasting a lovely open-fire and a timber kitchen has a dishwasher. There is a separate dining room for grand dinner parties, and with the warmer months and longer days coming, the good times can spill out to the undercover patio. For serious car people or hobbyists, the four-car garage and extensive rear workshop with rest room will be the big drawcard for buyers seeking space for extra vehicles and all the tools. The home has had a recent refurbishment and includes ducted heating and air-conditioning.

COMMERCIAL investor confidence in Frankston is at a welcome high according to Linda Ellis of Nichols Crowder Real Estate Solutions in Carrum Downs. Ms Ellis points to several examples in the past year where prices paid for Frankston commercial freeholds have far exceeded expectations, with returns to the purchaser that would be on par with those seen in Melbourne and surrounds. The company’s most recent sale was a tenanted property on the corner of Wells Street and Park Row, in the heart of the Frankston Central Activities District, which sold for $556,000 – equating to a 4.4 per cent return to the purchaser. Ms Ellis points to two other sales; one of a 120-square metre block of land, also in Wells Street, which recently sold for more than $3000 per square metre, and a double storey retail building in Station Street which sold above the vendor’s expected price as indicators that the growth of commercial real estate in Frankston is very positive.

“Purchasers have greater confidence in Frankston commercial properties than ever before and we are achieving some outstanding results for our clients,” Ms Ellis said.

Epic changes as new doctors arrive EPIC Health continues its commitment to providing the highest quality care for patients in Langwarrin and surrounding areas, and is proud to announce two new members to the team.

Dr Alamdari (below) has been working as General Practitioner since 2003 and after moving to Australia on 2008 he worked in hospital and general practice in Tasmania and rural NSW, moving to Melbourne four years later and working in Clayton. He recently joined our team of doctors in Epic Health Langwarrin. Dr Alamdari is fellow of Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and has special interest in skin, cardiovascular, respiratory and paediatric conditions as well as mental health.

This week Dr Nadiya Solodunenko (above) started at Epic Health in Langwarrin, a female General Practitioner from rural Benalla. Dr Solodunenko is interested in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and has a special interest in skin cancer.

Epic Health now has an even more experienced and varied team of medical practitioners taking a proactive approach to health and partnering with patients to achieve maximum health and wellbeing goals.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Somerville state school upheaval Compiled by Melissa Hodge MESSSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next for which entries will be received by the firm at Frankston or Mr. C.E Gomm, Somerville. *** THE Honorable A. Downward will address the electorate in Mornington at the following places during the month: Hastings 11th, Sorrento 11th, Somerville 21st, Frankston 24th, Mornington 25th, at 8 o’clock. *** AT a meeting of the Frankston Tennis Club committee on Tuesday athletes for matches during the next few weeks were arranged. Today the players hope to journey to Dandenong, the team to be comprised of Misses Gregory and Young, Messrs Watson and Uther, Dr Maxwell and Rev. U. A. Kichen. *** NEXT Sunday, November 8th, is the world-wide Temperance Sunday, when all ministers are earnestly requested to preach Temperance sermons in their churches, and give Temperance addresses to the young folk in the schools. This request will be complied with in the Methodist church, Frankston. The Rev Jackson will be the preacher, morning and evening. *** THE annual Sunday School picnic in connection with the Methodist Church in Frankston was held on Tuesday last at Ballam Park. The

day was beautifully fine and a large number of children and adults took advantage of the public holiday to enjoy a day’s outing in the beautiful park so kindly lent by Mr C. G. V. Williams, J.P., for the occasion.

The picnickers were conveyed both there and back by Mr Benson’s cabs.

The day was spent with the usual games and sports, incidental to such occasions, which was varied by afternoon and evening refreshments, which were thoroughly appreciated by old and young, and the opinion was freely expressed that a delightful day had been spent. *** MUCH dissatisfaction has been caused by the Education department to parents of children attending the Somerville State school.

Through the indifferent attitude of some officials communications are shelved or ignored altogether.

Three years ago the school was condemned by the health authorities, and it was decided by the department to erect a new school.

After considerable delay in starting the work, the building was completed three months ago, and the head teacher received word to resume work in the new school.

No school furniture was provided.

The desks from the old school are being used, and over twenty scholars have to sit on the floor.

The department promised to send on the necessary furniture, and the school committee has delayed the official opening until all are promised to

send on the necessary furniture, and the school committee is disgusted at the methods with which the department is worked. *** THE November sittings of the Melbourne Court of General Sessions were opened on Monday Judge Johnston presiding.

Mr Woinarski, K.C., Prosecutor for the Crown.

John J. Fitzpatrick, 19, motor driver, pleaded guilty to the theft of money from Mrs Hunt, of the Bay View Hotel Frankston as a bailee and the theft as agent of a number of bicycles. Mr Abraham (instructed

by Messrs Boothby and Boothby) appeared for the accused, and asked that he should be given the benefit of the First Offenders Act. After hearing evidence as to character, his Honor sentenced accused to six months’ hard labor on each charge, concurrent, sentence to be suspended upon accused and his father each entering into a bond of £25 that the accused would be of good behavior for three years. *** THE social arranged by St Pauls Club, in aid of the funds of St Pauls Church was attended by over 120 people on Saturday night last.

The first part of the evening was filled with vocal items. The following being the programme: in a Duet Misses Sherlock and Cosskell ; songs

by Mrs A. Aitken, and Messrs Bows.

C. Ellis, J.C.Garrood, N. Jackson, and Wilson (Kooyong Club).

The absence of two members

caused the abandonment of the farce which had been given so successfully three nights previously in Langwarrin.

To fill the gap, some of the performers sang more songs, and recitations were given by Mrs Alexander and Mr Myers.

After an enjoyable supper a short dance followed with music supplied

by Mr C. Elie and Misses Jaeger and McGrath.

The National anthem was sung just before midnight *** A MEETING of the Frankston Progress Association was held on Wednesday and a full report of which will appear in our next issue. *** MR Mark Brody of Frankston, has been appointed Substitute Returning Officer for the electoral district of Mornington. This writ will be issued on Monday. Nominations close on 16th. Election day, Thursday 26th November. *** CR Murphy will address the electors in the Tyabb Hall on Tuesday next, and at Somerville on Wednesday, 11th November.

The candidate will again speak at Mornington on the 26th November and at Frankston on the 25th (the evening before the election). *** FRANKSTON Choral Society’s grand complimentary concert to Rosa Alba, the peninsula songstress born near your own township, gives credit

to any place as a singer, after singing at the Melbourne concert. “A favorable impression was made by Miss Alba who sang D’ell Aqua Villaince.

She is a soprano of exquisite quality and possesses excellent powers of execution.” The Age. *** LAST Sunday was an anniversary day in connection with the United Sunday School at Pearcedale.

The afternoon service was conducted by the Rev. Mr Watt, Church of England minister, and that of the evening by a Student (Methodist) from Queen’s College.

The singing by the children, under the leadership of Mr Hobbs, was really excellent and deserving of great praise.

On Tuesday evening the public meeting was held, the hall being well filled. The chair was taken by the Rev Mr Watt, of Hastings.

The programme was varied, full of interest, and instructive, and was very satisfactory to all concerned. *** THE Railway Commissioners have taken steps to investigate the complaints regarding disorderly conduct on the 5.09pm train from Melbourne to Mornington last Saturday, and the alleged failure of certain officials to check the nuisance when it was reported to them. For some time past a special watch has been kept by plain clothes officers detailed for that duty to prevent disorderliness.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Come back Dexter, all is forgiven

By Stuart McCullough IS nothing sacred? As it turns out, reality television is not the most reliable means by which to find the love of your life. Who’d have thunk that a process involving televised dates and horticultural beneficence might be anything other than failsafe? Let me be frank (which, at this point, is a lot better than being Blake), I have never watched an episode of The Bachelor.

As best I can tell, it’s an awkward mix of Survivor and team selection for the lunch hour cricket match in primary school. Even though the series ended with a marriage proposal, it was impossible not to suspect that, in fact, the whole thing would end in tears.

It’s hard not to feel a little sorry for everyone involved. Not just the cast either; I’m talking about everyone remotely connected to the whole miserable experience from the catering staff to the dude who sweeps up after the rose ceremony. It’s difficult enough being rejected. To have it televised to the nation seems unnecessarily cruel, even by the lofty standards of reality television. That’s to say nothing of a premise that involves a large number of women competing for the affections of just one guy. That is not how I remember single life at all.

Things have clearly not gone to plan. It’s often said that the heart wants what the heart wants. As it turns out, the heart also wants a front-page story in a national magazine. I’m not sure whether to feel betrayed or a little worried for people who are so eager to lay themselves down on the media’s

sacrificial altar. I shouldn’t judge. After all, who us can unlock the mysteries of the human heart?

Fact is, love and TV have had a long association. My personal favourite would have to be The Love Boat where hapless passengers were drawn together by a mutual fear of seasickness, an all-you-can-eat buffet and nightly performances by The Little

River Band. Plus, they had a bloke called ‘Gopher’ who went on to represent Iowa in the United States House of Representatives (really). I can’t imagine a debacle such as the one we so recently witnessed on The Bachelor ever occurring on The Love Boat. For starters, Captain Stubing could have performed the ceremony on the spot.

Also, they take a dim view of mutiny

on the high seas. At the first sign of malarkey, someone would have been forced to walk the plank.

But unlike The Love Boat, the relationship between television and romance has not all been plain sailing.

Attempts to turn real-life relationships into viewing fodder have almost all ended disastrously in the true Hindenburg, ‘oh the humanity’ sense of the word. The television show Newlyweds with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey ran for three seasons, which was almost precisely the length of the marriage itself. In Australia, we had Marty and Jess: An Outback Wedding that featured two former Big Brother contestants. They split after less than a year and a half of marital bliss. The evidence is clear: reality TV and romance are the ultimate odd couple.

That’s because something as important as love should never be exploited for ratings by reality television. It’s best left to the professionals. By which I mean game shows.

Were it not an infringement of intellectual property rights to do so, The Bachelor should take a very big leaf out of the Perfect Match playbook. According to scientific research, music and (possibly) strawberries are the food of love. You’ve got set the mood. Try and hum the music for The Bachelor.

Exactly my point – no one can. But if you were to substitute our national anthem with the theme from Perfect Match, I guarantee that everyone, from podium straddling Olympians to new arrivals would know all the words.

It’s often claimed that a good sense

of humour is highly desirable in a potential mate. However, like the 38th parallel of the Korean peninsula, The Bachelor is a heavily de-humourised zone. In contrast, Perfect Match was stuffed with laughs, both intentional and otherwise. But whether it was the humour, the sliding wall that delivered so many ‘There must be some kind of mistake’ moments that we, as a nation, can cherish forever, or the spectacular permanent sets that perched on the heads of host and contestant alike, there was much to love. You may think that my lauding of an ancient dating game show is a mere exercise in nostalgia, but you’d be wrong. Perfect Match was about the future.

Dexter the Robot remains the most sophisticated piece of technological hardware ever seen on Australian television. One part Dalek and two parts empty ice cream container, when he wasn’t busy coordinating space shuttle launches, Dexter appeared on Perfect Match. Although his role was confined to spitting out stats, he was capable of so much more. Most people don’t realise that Dexter had full weapons capability. Imagine it – the last rose ceremony of the season. The Bachelor, ready to do the honourable thing lest he should feel the sting of Dexter’s futuristic wrath. Forget shotgun weddings. Laser beam nuptials are the way of the future. Excited, I emailed Dexter. The response, however, was as short as it was direct: Dexter and the Bachelor have a compatibility score of 0%. Rejected again. Alas. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

ROSEBUD Buskfest, on Saturday 8th November, is the first of what will hopefully become an annual busking competition held through the streets of Rosebud.

This year 30 performers, mainly musicians, have been selected to participate, competing for the coveted first prize of $1000 cash.

Playing throughout the morning from 10am – 1pm, buskers will be located outside shop and cafes all the way from Jetty Road through the town centre with another group located outside Rosebud Plaza and around the shops at the corner of Boneo Road. Throughout the morning the panel of three judges will make their decisions on the originality, talent and crowd appeal of the buskers. The judges are Michael Moss, Steve Bastoni and Ian Pav, three accomplished professionals who are actively involved in the singing, teaching, acting and production industries.

The busking competition is the brain wave of local musician

Heidi Luckhurst who has worked alongside Rosebud Chamber of Commerce to make the event a reality. Heidi said she has been blown away by the quality and variety of entries from far and wide. She also expressed sincere appreciation at the support of the sponsors, and for the variety of professional development prizes which can been offered to the lucky winners.

There is a category for under 14’s to encourage young talent and with the main category embracing performers of a vast array of ages, both soloists and bands.

The announcement of the winners will take place at the RoseGPO Hotel at 2pm on Saturday, with the winners taking away a range of prizes including a full production package, singing lessons, performance gigs and cash, with the overall outstanding entertainer taking out the $1000 cash.

Performance BAZ Luhrmann’s much-loved hit show Strictly Ballroom the Musical will open in Melbourne at Her Majesty’s Theatre on the 17th January 2015.

Strictly Ballroom The Musical had its Global Premiere on Saturday 12 April at the Sydney Lyric Theatre. This new production is staged by the original creative team behind the classic 1992 film, including director and co-writer Baz Luhrmann, set and costume designer Catherine Martin, choreographer John O’Connell and co-writer Craig Pearce.

Strictly Ballroom the Musical is the inspiring story of a championship ballroom dancer who defies all the rules to follow his heart. This uplifting and courageous tale originated as a stage play that Baz Luhrmann devised with a group of students at the National Institute of Dramatic Art back in 1984.

Tickets for Strictly Ballroom the Musical are on sale now from www.ticketek.com.au or telephone 132 849.

They will appear at the Rod Laver Arena on April 8th. Tickets 132 849. *** LEGENDARY country singer, Ray Kernaghan, has been named 2014 Australasian Country Music Living Legend at the Slim Dusty Country Music Memories concert in Kempsey. The award honours an artist’s lifetime contribution to country music.

The announcement proved a popular choice. For decades, Ray Kernaghan has toured Australia and is the recipient of twelve Gold and two Platinum albums having reached sales in excess of one million copies, a major achievement for an independent recording artist.

His first album Me And Louie On The Road (1977) earned four Gold and one Platinum record. He was inducted into Tamworth’s Hands of Fame in 1981.

Ray was joined at the announcement by wife, Pam. *** THE Australian Defence Force (ADF) comprises the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).

The three services operated more or less

independently until an integrated command structure was established with the formation of the Australian Defence Force on 9 February 1976.

The four domestic base rate (70c) stamps were designed by Tim Hancock of the Melbourne-based design studio XSD. The stamp designs are based on the caps and badges of the respective three services, with the fourth stamp depicting the Australian Defence Force Emblem.

Associated with the stamp issue is a special prestige cover. The ‘Remember Me to All’ prestige cover includes a facsimile of a pocket book carried by Private John Hector Croft of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during the landing

at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. Croft’s life was saved when an enemy bullet lodged in the pocket book after penetrating his arm. Also included is a facsimile of a letter written by Croft describing the incident.

Other products associated with this stamp issue include a miniature sheet, first day cover, stamp pack, booklet of 10 x 70c self-adhesive stamps, set of four maxicards and four designed gutter strips of 10 x 70c stamps.

The album features duets with Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Blake Shelton, her son Jason Gould and Elvis Presley.

It’s the 10th hit album for the singer/ songwriter/actor and director with two Academy Awards and eight Grammys to her name.

Born Barbara Joan Streisand in N.Y in 1942 and was spotted at a Greenwich Village club. Streisand became the first person to win an Emmy, Oscar, Tony, and Grammy. She has sold over 68 million records – 13 multi-platinum, 28 platinum, and 47 gold. She was the first woman to direct, write, produce, and sing in a feature film, Yentl. Streisand also holds the record for the highest grossing single concert at 14.6 million.

Once married to Elliot Gould and currently married to James Brolin.

Her astonishing vocal range has made albums like Guilty massive sellers and recently saw her voted the greatest female vocalist of all time. Her boundless energy and mesmerising charisma have made her a Hollywood superstar. *** THE Production Company has announced additional performances in its season of Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman masterpiece, La Cage Aux

cause of my cheap electricity, thanks to Lord Tony’s scrapping of the evil carbon tax. *** IN fairness I should add Denny has postponed the idea of improving the rail services between Caulfield and Dandenong until after the election; great idea. This can be included with those 2010 proposals on the road and rail links; Rowville and Doncaster, the Southland Station. “It’s all happening”. *** FAMOUS lines: “With the coming of the Second World War, many eyes in imprisoned Europe turned hopefully or desperately toward the freedom of the Americas. Lisbon became the great embarkation point. But not everybody could get to Lisbon directly” (Casablanca)...”It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen” (1984)...”There’s an old joke: Two elderly women are at a Catskill Mountain resort. And one of ‘em says: “Boy, the food in this place is really terrible.’ The other one says: ‘Yeah, I know. And such small portions.” Well, that’s essentially how I feel about life. Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness, and it’s all over much too quickly.” (Annie Hall)...“Four beers please” (Homicide). “You can’t park there” (Pharlap). *** I SPENT some eight years in Bon-

beach as a teenager into mid twenties. My sisters still live there. We had pencilled in Northcliffe Lodge Aged Care (great name) if necessary. Alas, they are closing it down, or are they?

Where to next, assuming there is a next? Kingston Council CEO John Nevins “People in our facilities understand the disruption when someone has to move elsewhere”. Funny man. Perhaps they will include aged care facilities in the new leasing arrangements of the Quarantine station of Point Nepean National Park? Arthurs Seat? *** SPRING into a long hot Summer. Atmospheric beauty in shorts and neverending legs. As Saint Jerome said “The devil’s power is in the loins”.

The absolute joy of little kiddies frolicking in the Woolworths aisles cleverly avoiding my fists. Previous addictions to smoking, alcohol, gambling, ice and obviously sex all under control. “Lay on, Macduff; And damned be him that first cries, ‘Hold, enough!’” *** WHY is Michael Caton (Darryl Kerrigan; “The Castle”) urging us to move to The Village Glen, Ti Tree Lodge, Rosebud? Does Michael live on the Peninsula? Has he spent one night at the Village Glen? It could be me, living alone, listening and watching all this rubbish. Now’s the time to detox, others instruct me, or use roll

on painaway? A television monstrosity “A big brother double eviction tonight after the block”? Mein Gott!

Am I complaining again? Damn. *** AS a Collingwood supporter many years of biassed reporting and crooked umpires has provided me with a thick skin when times are tough, like now. One learns to look on the bright side no matter what, by nature wondering if things could get worse.

Imagine: The Abbott government appointee to the ABC Board, Peter Lewis, could succeed in his possible leg cutting role despite the expected enthusiastic support from Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Add to this the possible financial downfall of Fairfax and bingo...years back in the long dark tunnel, 1890’s style. Brrr. *** WHERE is the democracy in either of our political parties or in the Palmer United mob? I find it difficult to see how they continually shove this “democracy” word down our throats with no evidence to support it, in fact much evidence to the contrary? How can governments create unlimited powers without creating evil? Human nature does not allow it. Never has, never will. *** IT’S fair to say we are all thrilled by the likelihood of Qantas posting a first quarter pre-tax profit, not only

A Grain of Salt THE state election looms with the usual fear tactics; Treasurer Michael O’Brien and Health Minister David Davis, apparently honourable gentlemen, would surely be better supplying us with a list of achievements and policies rather than this constant fear of Labor over-spending. TAFE, ambulances, public transport and the enthusiasm for train lines Mentone to Frankston. The Libs (and Labor) provide an obscure canvass of doubtful promises, obviously busy swapping those USB sticks; nice to be young and deviant. *** YET again I’ve received complaints from readers, complaining I complain too much? I get the message, so I’ll try to be nice. Herewith: I was at Mordialloc recently taking a walk along the beautiful Port Phillip Bay, and lo and behold there was Premier Denny, fishing. I assumed there was an injured fish as is his want, but no, just fishing, relaxing. It happened by chance there were photographers close by, obviously spotting Denny like I did. I felt a warm glow. Bonzer bloke. Okay complainants; feel better now? *** YOU want more? Excellent. My mate Joe Hockey says by paying 40 cents a week more for petrol we are helping create 6000 jobs. Chicken feed Joe mate, and more than happy to pull my weight. In fact I’m well in front be-

Jewell ton launches Sharks PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully AN unbeaten 111 from former Victorian batting star Nick Jewell saw Sorrento cruise to victory against Mt Eliza on Saturday in MPCA Provincial cricket.

The right-handed thrashing machine strode to the crease with his side having lost 2/2.

When Anthony Blackwell (62) joined Jewell, the Sorras were 3/48, chasing 229 for the win.

Together, Jewell and Blackwell wrenched the game away from the Mounties, getting within a handful of runs for victory with ten overs to spare.

Unfortunately, Blackwell wasn’t able to walk from the field with Jewell at the end, bowled out by Nick Baron.

While the Sorras are sitting pretty in the top four after the win, Mt Eliza is in some early season trouble.

After three rounds of matches, the Mounties are yet to win a game of cricket.

Certainly the underachievers at this stage of the season.

For the third time in two seasons, Langwarrin wilted under the pressure of the Mornington pace attack.

The Kangas’ bowlers did a great job last week restricting Mornington to 158 in their 80 overs.

However, when it came time for the batsmen to keep up their end of the bargain, they buckled terribly.

Only two Langwarrin batsmen made it to double figures, skipper Mark Cooper with 42 and James D’Atri with 26.

Mornington quicks Michael Heib and Matt Foon completely dominated the Kangas. Foon finished with five wickets and Heib snared four.

Langwarrin was bowled out for 119 in the 70th over.

Long Island got the points against Moorooduc and sits on top of the Provincial ladder.

The Ducs were bowled out for 103 on the opening day of the match last week and the Islanders were 4/89 in

reply.

There wasn’t a lot of need for cricket on day two, the rain playing its part and the game being closed with Long Island leading at 6/130.

It was enough for the home side to collect the 12 victory points.

Crib Point wasn’t under any pressure against Pines, winning by more than 40 runs.

After making 203 on the first day of the match, the Magpies rolled the Piners for 162.

Pines’ skipper Ricky Ramsdale was the only batsman to offer any resistance, top scoring with 73.

Luke Herrington was the pick of the Magpies’ bowlers with 4/38, while Glenn Barclay snared 3/57.

Baxter got out of jail against Peninsula Old Boys.

Reeling at 5/133, chasing 229 for victory, the rains came and the match was abandoned, saving Baxter from probable defeat.

In the final match, Rye’s bowlers completed their end of the deal and restricted Heatherhill to 207, handing the visitors a 55 run victory.

After making 262 on the first day of the match, Rye, led by skipper Tom Baron with 4/58, made things difficult for the Hills from the outset.

Jake Theobald was a shining light for the Hills, scoring an unbeaten 96.

Joel Lynch and Leigh Lambert also took two wickets each for the Demons.

Rain causes grief for Blues DISTRICT

By IT Gully Hastings is still yet to win a game of cricket this season in MPCA District grade, despite being in a commanding position against Carrum on Saturday.

After making an impressive 270 on day one of the clash last week, rain prevented the Blues from revelling in the sweet taste of victory on Saturday.

There is no question that if the weather had not influenced the match, Hastings would have been celebrating a rare win on Saturday night.

When the game was eventually called off, Carrum needed 102 runs from 19 overs with three wickets in hand. There was no way that this was going to happen.

Hastings’ bowlers were on top from the get go with openers Mitch Floyd and Benny Johnson getting the job done.

Floyd bowled 16 overs and finished with 2/53 while Johnson bowled 13 overs and had tidy figures of 2/31.

It was good to see Carey Sawosz thrown the nugget and allowed to show his craft. Sawosz, a talented all-rounder, bowled a team-high 17 overs and finished with the solid figures of 3/44.

However, despite the great bowling from the Blues, Mother Nature had her way and prevented them from picking up the win.

Shaun Foster top scored for the Lions with 70, while Dean Polson scored 38. As well as the rain, it was their 71 run partnership that prevented Hastings from winning.

New kids on the District block, Red Hill, sit undefeated on top of the ladder after knocking over last year’s grand finalists, Delacombe Park.

On the small Delacombe Park ground, the 192 that Red Hill set last week didn’t look like enough.

However, Brent Martin bowled 29 overs for the visitors and finished with the match winning figures of 10 maidens, 5/44.

Earlier, the home side was cruising at 1/90. However, the Devils lost 7/40.

Nick Christides top scored with 48 and Joel Malcolm was next best with 44. Chris Brittain also made 37.

Flinders won a very close one against Baden Powell.

Last week, the Sharks rolled the Braves for 128, however, were 1/8 overnight.

Flinders finally got the required runs, eight wickets down.

Mark Maddock top scored for the visitors with 45.

Seaford Tigers were humiliated by Boneo.

Last week, it appeared that 9/145 in 80 overs was a poor effort from the Pandas, however, it proved to be enough to win the game.

The Tigers were bowled out for 118, skipper Matty Meagher was the top scorer with 31.

Stewart Mathieson, Jack Fowler and Cam Williams were the multiple wicket takers for the Pandas.

Somerville’s 251 proved to be enough runs to get the job done against Main Ridge.

Batting second, the Cougars lost 3/43 before Brad Rossborough (60) and Gareth Wyatt were brought together at the crease.

When Wyatt went with the score on 81, the target of 250 was always going to be too tough a total to get.

Eventually, thanks to 30 from James Abbott, the Cougars were able to scramble to 197. It still wasn’t enough to win.

Rain made it a slog: Hastings had a win within grasp until the rain intervened. Picture: Andrew Hurst Frankston Times 3 November 2014

Skye belted by the Stonecats SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully Frankston YCW picked up maximum points in their round three match against Skye, claiming an outright win in Sub District cricket on Saturday.

Despite rain playing its part at certain times throughout the match, it wasn’t enough to prevent the Stonecats from bowling out the Burras for a second time.

Resuming on 5/98 and leading by 27 runs, the Stonecats finally declared at 9/150, Luke Hutchison adding a further 14 to his overnight tally to finish with 65.

Paul Fillipone was superb for the Burras with 5/34.

However, when it came time to bowl again, Skye again crumbled, bowled out for 79.

Paul Bradley claimed 3/11 to give him match figures of 6/17, while Andrew Kitson picked up 3/26, giving him match figures of 6/41. Jeremy Daniel claimed 4/11 in the second innings to go with his 1/21 in the first.

When Skye was eventually bowled out in the second innings, scores were locked at 150 apiece.

The Stonecats needed just one over to get the one run required for victory.

Rosebud successfully defended its modest 161 against Pearcedale.

The Buds’ total certainly didn’t look enough against the Dales, especially when the score was 2/96.

However, the visitors lost 7/9 to be bowled out for 122.

Adam Bryant claimed 5/35 from 22 overs while

Jason Nagel picked up the other five wickets for 38 runs off 24 overs (13 maidens).

Gavin Moore top scored for Pearcedale with 37 and Chris Dew scored 33.

Tootgarook easily accounted for Balnarring, winning by 60 runs.

The Frogs’ total of 255 last week was always going to be tough to chase down.

Other than 49 from David ‘Disco’ Ross, the Saints were never in the hunt.

Ballam Park made it back-to-back wins with a solid performance against Tyabb.

The Knights are now sitting in the top four after knocking up two wins from their first three games.

Finally, after years of being on the deck, they are playing with a bit of confidence.

On Saturday, their skipper Ryan O’Connor was sensational.

O’Connor finished with 6/50 after having 1/1 overnight from one over. Leigh Parslow claimed 4/52.

Tyabb was bowled out for 147, chasing 177 for victory.

In the final match, Dromana picked up another win, this time against Carrum Downs.

The Hoppers were in the box seat to win the match, having the Cougars 2/29 overnight, chasing 169 for victory.

The Cougars were eventually bowled out for 132.

Jeff Bluhm was the pick of the Dromana bowlers with 4/46, Craig Dunlop claimed 3/54 from 23 overs and David Timmer snared 2/27.

Ryan Lynch top scored for the Yabbies with 32 while Stuart Swift scored 29.

Baden Powell fall short: Flinders were lucky to get away with the win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Rye lands new recruits thanks to coach connections FOOTBALL NEWS Rye has done it again!

AFTER losing Ryan, Jake and Luke Semmel in the off season, along with Chris Gleeson, last year’s Preliminary finalists have been able to replace them.

The Demons, thanks to some sweet talking from former Richmond player Michael ‘Butch’ Gale, have been able to pick up five players from EFL Club Vermont.

Gale played a handful of games for Rye and talked the place up as a good club to play for.

New Rye coach Josh Moore also has a connection having played in the EFL for many years.

The headline act in terms of names is former Hawthorn ruckman Simon Taylor.

Another one is three time EFL League medal winner Ryan Mullet.

Many believe he is a much better player than Ryan Semmel.

The Demons have also picked up centre half back Dean Millhouse, forward/defender Kris Bardon and two time league medallist Nathan Henley, who plays midfield.

The only piece left in the puzzle is Justin Van Unen, who played with the five new recruits last season.

Money will be the only hurdle in seeing Van Unen back in the red and blue next season.

Another major coup for the Demons is the appointment of former coach

Steve Ryan, who is returning as runner.

Ryan said last week that he was ‘rapt’ to be back at the club.

“Having a year or two away from coaching won’t hurt I don’t think,” Ryan said.

“I reckon I’ll enjoy getting back onto the ground and stirring things up a bit.”

Moore isn’t planning on playing at this stage, which is a real shame given his wonderful ability. He would be sensational for the Demons if he can get out there.

In more good news for the Demons, it seems more likely that Rhett Sutton will stay. On 199 games, it would be a shame to see a star of the competition and the club to leave without playing 200.

Finally, Ben Holmes is looking forward to giving his mind and body a break. However, don’t rule out a JuneJuly return.

Buds sign a ripper WHILE Rosebud hasn’t been able to land five new faces, they have picked up Jason Bristow from Subiaco in the WAFL. Bristow, a former Chelsea junior, has played the last five or six season in the WAFL and won the Simpson medal for being the best player on the ground in last year’s grand final.

Eagles wings clipped EDITHVALE-ASPENDALE may have been celebrating the signing of

Graeme Yeats as coach, however, they are losing players.

Michael Kremmer, Nick Connellan and star of the competition, Brent Bowden, have all signed with Foster.

It is also believed that Brad Tagg may join them.

Sharks in all sorts AS reported some weeks back, Bonbeach has lost a lot of players, including big names such as Ricky Ferraro, Paul Rebeschini and Anthony Raso.

There are three who have gone to Hastings, Cal McQueen, Matt Clifford and Shaun Foster.

There was a lot of talk that Shane McDonald was heading to Chelsea.

Not the case. He is going to Mooroopna.

GRAEME POWELL MAZDA FRANKSTON

3 DAY SAL E

The Number 1 Selling Mazda MASTER DEALER on the Bayside Peninsula

The wait is over as allnew Mazda2 arrives THE wait for the arrival of All-New Mazda2 is over with Mazda’s latest light car launched today ahead of its 17 November on-sale date.

Re-imagined from the ground up, and integrating the elegant lines of Mazda’s award-winning ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ design language and innovative SKYACTIV Technology, All New Mazda2 has more power yet is more fuel efficient, offers unequalled styling, and is better connected than any of its predecessors.

Available as a hatch, All-New Mazda2 comes with two transmission types, the 6-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic and 6-speed SKYACTIV-MT manual, and offers two 1.5 litre SKYACTIV-G petrol engine alternatives.

The standard spec puts out 79kW of power and 139Nm of torque, while the higher spec version has 81kW of power and 141Nm of torque, both an improvement on the outgoing model.

In a win for buyers, All-New Mazda2 boasts best-ever fuel consumption numbers. The high spec SKYACTIV-G 1.5 litre petrol engine with SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission sips as little as 4.9 litres per 100 kilometres, an improvement of 28 per cent over the old model, while the standard spec SKYACTIV-G 1.5 litre petrol engine with SKYACTIV-MT manual transmission uses just 5.4 litres per 100 kilometres, an improvement of 15 per cent compared to the outgoing engine.

In a first for the segment, All-New Mazda2 introduces a Head-Up Active Driving Display on the high grade Genki model.

In addition, Genki features the next-generation HMI with Commander control allowing safe access to navigation, communications and infotainment including social media via MZD Connect, and i-ACTIVSENSE technology, in the form of Smart City Brake Support, is available as an option across the entire range.

Also new for Mazda’s smallest car are four different interior trim options. The Neo, Maxx and Genki each has its own unique look and feel, with a further colour pack option available on the Maxx.

The newest generation Mazda2 is available in eight striking colours including brand new Dynamic Blue Mica and Smoky Rose Mica, the popular Soul Red makes its debut on Mazda2, while Aluminium Metallic, Black Mica, Snowflake White Pearl Mica, Gunmetal Blue Mica and Metropolitan Grey Mica round out the palette.

With Mazda dealers taking orders now, AllNew Mazda2 comes in three grades, including Neo, Maxx and Genki with prices starting at $16,990 drive away, the best valued All-New Mazda2 ever offered at launch.

For further details go to your local mazda dealer.
