‘Too soon’ for homes line call Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au IT is too early to know whether homes along the Frankston line will be bought by the state government if elevated rail ultimately is built along sections of the rail line. The Labor state government offered to buy about 130 homes backing onto elevated rail, dubbed sky rail, along three sections of the CranbournePakenham line where rail over road structures will be built. The Level Crossing Removal Authority, a Department of Transport division tasked with overseeing the separation of rail and road at 11 level
crossings along the Frankston line, says early site investigations are underway at eight locations between Cheltenham and Frankston and it is too soon to say that Frankston line residents will be offered the same buyout at taxpayers’ expense. LXRA project director Adam Maguire said technical investigations, including environment assessments, will be done in the first half of the year before the authority announces options for level crossings removals along the Frankston line in mid-year. “These technical investigations are part of the development of feasible options for each of the eight sites, and will be presented to the community
for their feedback later this year,” Mr Maguire said. “Following this, further work will be undertaken to inform the development of the recommended option by the end of 2016, when the investigations currently underway will also assist in determining the relevant planning and approvals required under various local, state and federal legislation.” The environmental assessments will include an Environment Effects Statement for each option for removing level crossings as part of a public process, according to the LXRA. Liberal opposition spokesman for planning David Davis said the government’s offer to buy homes from resi-
dents who will live near elevated rail on the Cranbourne-Pakenham line is a “panicked political fix”. “If Sky Rail is going to create the utopian neighbourhoods that Premier Daniel Andrews and Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said it would then why do they need to buy out local residents?” he asked. “The fact is, the Andrews Labor government has been lying all along about the impact of sky rail and has admitted it with this panicked and rushed announcement without any details. “Surely this compensation would be better spent instead in doing what residents actually want; for this ugly and intrusive sky rail proposal to be aban-

doned and instead remove level crossings by putting rail under road.” Mr Maguire said any buyout scheme along the Frankston line is not even under consideration at the moment. A final decision on how best to remove level crossings at eight locations along the Frankston line will be announced at the end of this year. “The government’s voluntary purchase scheme relates to the Caulfield to Dandenong level crossings, and arrangements for other projects will be determined on a project-by-project basis.” Three road under rail level crossing removals are underway at Bentleigh, McKinnon and Ormond.

Hijacker’s plan foiled
Fishing fun: Glenn ‘Guru’ Cooper, far right, hosted a That’s the Thing about Fishing event for disabled and disadvantaged kids at Frankston pier last week. Picture: Yanni
Kids line up for special fishing day FISHING is good for the soul and sometimes the sole and that certainly proved to be the case again last Friday (1 April) when That’s the Thing about Fishing founder Glenn Cooper hosted a fishing expedition for disabled and disadvantaged children at Frankston pier. Budding anglers from Frankston, Hastings, Mornington and Patterson Lakes enjoyed a morning out casting rods into the waters off Frankston beach. Mr Cooper, dubbed ‘Guru’, has run the fishing events for several years. “The kids pay nothing, get fed and have a great day out,� he said.
Special needs groups from around the south east bussed in to take part in the School Holiday Autumn Clinic. Prizes were handed out for the best and biggest fish caught on the day but it was mostly about providing a great day’s entertainment out in the fresh sea air. See thatsthethingaboutfishing.org.au for details about its work helping people battling mental health issues, disability groups, youth in trouble, men and women’s health groups and people suffering depression.
A CAR thief got more than he bargained for when hijacking a late model Holden utility in Lawrey St, Frankston, early Sunday morning last week. The 23-year-old owner of the utility had arranged to meet two men in another car near Birdwood St at 2.10am, when things went awry. Detective Leading Senior Constable Paul Roberts, of Frankston CIU, said a man in the other car – a 2008 white Ford XR6 station wagon – menaced the victim with a loaded sawn-off rifle and ordered him out of the ute. But, thinking quickly, the victim flicked a switch which disabled the car’s suspension and, when the thief
attempted to escape, the car “bottomed out� on the roadway and became uncontrollable. Crossing over Birdwood St it smashed through the panel door into an apartment block car park and then ploughed into a side fence. The car’s airbags deployed and it was damaged so severely that it was later “written off�. The would-be thief ran away – leaving the sawn-off rifle on the front seat. Detective Roberts said he was “following strong leads on the identity of the offenders� and expected to make an arrest soon. The Ford XR6 is yet to be recovered.

A FILM being shown in Mornington next week will aid the Refugee Council of Australia and Amnesty International. The film On the Banks of the Tigris: the Hidden Story Of Iraqi Music was produced by Melbourne filmmakers Marsha Emerman and Majid Shokor. It was released in October to some acclaim at Australian and foreign film festivals, with limited release in local cinemas, but won first prize at the Baghdad International Film Festival. The plot: “When Majid Shokor escaped from Iraq, he discovered that many of the songs he loved as a child in Baghdad were written or performed by Christian and Jewish Iraqis. “To find out more, Majid makes a bold journey from his home in Australia to Israel, Europe, and Iraq to meet Iraqi musicians, hear their music and stories, and unite them in a concert celebrating coexistence.�

Car rolls at roundabout, driver arrested at scene A HOLDEN utility being driven along Karingal Dr, Frankston, skidded into a roundabout and rolled when the driver lost control, 4:45am, Friday 25 March. The car hit the kerb near Carramar Dr and became airborne before landing on the road and nature strip and rolling on its side. Police in a divisional van had earlier suspected the car was stolen and activated their flashing lights. Acting Sergeant Steve Caple, of Frankston highway patrol, said there was “no pursuit�. He said the driver, a Frankston man in his 20s, “took off at speed� when he saw the lights and then crashed.
He was pulled onto the nature strip and handcuffed before being taken by ambulance to Frankston hospital with minor injuries. A witness said police searched the car and bagged items, possibly including a mask and what appeared to be a knife and mobile phone. SES crews also attended to hose down petrol spills. Sergeant Caple said charges were pending over the incident.

FANTASTIC DEALS
Marginal calls for an ‘environment election’ Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ENVIRONMENT activists are targeting the Dunkley electorate in the run-up to this year’s federal election to raise awareness of political parties’ climate change and environmental policies. Environment Victoria has reopened its Enviro Hub in Frankston, mothballed after the 2014 state election, as a base of operations to urge voters to think about the environment when casting their vote on polling day. Blue colour-clad volunteers will call and speak to Dunkley voters about environmental concerns in the months before the federal election. Frankston City citizen of the year David Cross, secretary of the Friends of Wallace Reserve, cut the ribbon at the Wells St office last Thursday (31 March) to officially reopen the Enviro Hub. The not-for-profit non-government organisation targeted the marginal seats of Frankston, Carrum and Mordialloc before the previous state election that saw the Labor government win government. All three seats swung to Labor from Liberal on slim majorities. Environment Victoria community organiser Adele Neale said the group is “jumping right in” to speak to Dunkley voters now instead of waiting for an election date to be confirmed. The electorate includes the suburbs Frankston, Langwarrin, Mt Eliza, Mornington, Seaford and Skye. Ms Neale believes Environment Victoria’s phone call and door knocking efforts before the state election made a difference to the outcome of the result in the three marginal seats and could again prove to be pivotal in the chances of Labor candidate Peta Murphy winning the seat from the Liberal Party. Incumbent Liberal MP Bruce Billson will leave the political stage after this year’s federal election and Chris Crewther has been chosen by the party to fight to retain Dunkley. Mr Billson held the seat with a 5.6 per margin last time out but this may be eroded or even overhauled since Mr Billson has been personally popular with a majority of voters over two decades as the member for Dunkley. Environmental Victoria is not aligned with any political party but a statement on its website herald-
ing the return of the Frankston Enviro Hub makes it clear the group is less than impressed with the Coalition federal government’s environmental credentials. “For the last three years, our federal government has attacked clean energy, looking after irresponsible big polluters at the expense of a clean energy industry that is ready to go,” a statement on the website says. “They’ve cut our clean energy target, removed the laws that reduce pollution and tried to dump the investment bank that supports new, clean technology. “Instead of protecting our natural places they’re letting big polluting companies open new coal mines, dredge the Great Barrier Reef and log our national parks.” Ms Neale said the group encourages all political parties to take action to protect the environment. ““We do have a good working relationship with the local Liberal candidate Chris Crewther,” she said. “We’re meeting and arranging meetings with local volunteers so they can tell him their concerns about how the government has been performing so far. “We support good strong policy on environmental issues from every party and we encourage the Liberal Party, as we do any party, to have good policies.” As for the Labor side of politics, Ms Neale said the Andrews state government has “promised to be a leader on climate change and renewable energy”. “We haven’t seen a whole lot of results just yet. We are really hoping that they’ll pull through and have something to show for all the reviews and consultation processes,” Ms Neale said. “We haven’t seen any policy we’re impressed with coming through yet but we’re hoping and showing community support in this area for a strong renewable action plan in the upcoming state budget.” Ms Neale said Environment Victoria has been working in the local area for three years. “People in the Frankston area love our beach and parklands and love clean energy. We are putting solar panels on our roofs and we are keeping our foreshore clean. We’re doing our bit – it’s time for politicians to catch up.”

songs and gave them back in a colloquial literary catalogue that bridged the gap between bush and city. The one act stage musical devised by Cullen and scripted by the two men, shows Lawson and Paterson having a casual drink at the Leviticus Bar & Grill, Heaven's Gate, and yarning about their legacies. They come across as slightly cantankerous, yet grateful for their old friendship.

Family hopes robbery spree over Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE court appearance last Tuesday of a Pearcedale man with 54 counts of burglary, theft and brings Pearcedale property owners Maree and David Brann closer to ending a frustrating chapter in their lives. Their Middle Rd house was robbed three times just before Easter with Mornington Peninsula detectives later recovering “a significant amount of property”. Detective Senior Constable John Melhuish, of Somerville police complex, said the man, 34, was apprehended on Good Friday and charged with 16 burglaries on peninsula properties from 29 January-24 March. He was remanded in custody last week and will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court again on 14 April. Stolen from the couple’s property were 150 items, including tools, welding and gardening equipment and chainsaws from a garage which was systematically ransacked, as well as personal items and a family heirloom jewellery box much loved by Mrs Brann who is “over the moon” at its return. “The first robbery was on 18 March and the thieves returned on 23 and 24 March to get more,” Mrs Brann said. “We had just got back from Thailand and found the padlock to our six acre, mostly bush, property cut and then realised we had been robbed,” she said. “They did a lot of damage.” The couple had taken precautions

against robbery. But sliding door locks, deadlocks and heavy duty padlocks proved no defence against the intruders who peeled back sheets of roofing to gain entry to the handyman’s garage. Locks on the house were changed after the first robbery, but that proved no deterrent. “We thought the big shed was safe and that no one could get in, so we left on the Sunday and
then a neighbour called to say she saw the gate was open.” On return, they found three locked farm gates forced open and screws to panels on the shed removed. “We just kept getting hit,” Mrs Brann said. “Our neighbour said she saw a man stealing a tub and that was only 50 minutes after we had left. “We are paranoid now about leaving the property, even to the extent of
texting neighbours about when we are going and when we plan to return. “It’s done my head in.” After the alleged offender’s arrest on Good Friday, detectives on Easter Sunday were able to return Mrs Brann’s silver jewellery box and several power tools and chain saws. More “big ticket items” were found dumped in a laneway in Langwarrin South. Detective Melhuish estimates only
a third of the couple’s stolen goods have so far been recovered. Security at the property is being increased with new alarms installed Thursday. “I can’t tell you how wonderful the police have been,” Mrs Brann said. Detective Melhuish urges property owners to engrave their names on tools and other valuables to make returns easier.

New CEO for ‘bulk port’ MALCOLM Geier has been appointed the new chief executive officer of Port of Hasting Development Authority. He replaces Michael Kennedy, the former CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire, who held the position for six months. Mr Geier has spent the past decade at the Port of Portland, the last six as business development manager. The state government curtailed the activities of the authority after its election in November 2014, seeing a dramatic cut in its budget and loss of most of its staff. Ports Minister Luke Donnellan, when announcing Mr Geier’s appointment, said the government supported Hastings being used as a “bulk port”. He said Portland had seen “significant increases in exports and volume” during Mr Geier’s tenure. “The Port of Hastings is an important asset for Victoria’s growing import and export market and offers significant development opportunities for bulk industries, including the refined fuel, oil and gas industries,” Mr Donnellan said. “Infrastructure Victoria will provide the government with advice regarding the preferred location for Victoria’s second container port. The advice will assess both Bay West and Hastings. “Whilst Infrastructure Victoria are conducting their second container port assessment the government expects the Port of Hastings to pursue non-container related business with the support of regional councils and businesses.”

COMPETITORS at a bowls competition in Frankston over the Easter break may have witnessed the beginning of a profitable partnership. The prestigious Easter Open Pairs hosted at Frankston Bowling Club saw an unlikely duo take out the top prize at the tournament featuring about $5000 in prize money. Veteran bowls player Stan Sliwinski, 60, from Hastings teamed up with young gun Arjay Bywaters, 17, from Oakleigh South to overcome a field of 96 top-class bowlers from as far away as Hong Kong and snare about $1000 each. Mr Sliwinski said it was the first time he had entered the annual competition despite playing bowls for more than 20 years and the first time he had met the Oakleigh South youngster. “My regular bowls partner was on holiday so I put a message up on Facebook for a partner and Arjay saw it,” he said. “It was just a chance thing. We only met 15 minutes before the first game.” The pair’s bowls game quickly clicked into gear and the duo triumphed at the end of two days’ play on last Saturday and Sunday (26-27 March). “It was good playing with Arjay. It’s great playing with these young up and coming guys because they’re good and they’re like sponges and listen to everything and Arjay got better and better every game.” Mr Sliwinski, who bowls at Hastings Bowls Club and has represented Victoria at state level, refused to be drawn on whether his existing bowls partner faced the axe but joked “they may be”. Frankston Bowling Club administration director Alan McNeil thanked Frankston Council for its continued support of the annual Easter Open Pairs tournament that attracts bowls players from overseas, interstate and regional Victoria.

“It was a marvellous success.

Police checks before MP meets grannies Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au POLICE were called in to clear 15 grandmothers before allowing them into pre-arranged meeting at the Hastings office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt. The members of Southern Peninsula Group of Grandmothers Against the Detention of Children presented a 400-signature petition to Mr Hunt which calls on the federal government to improve its treatment of refugees. Ann Renkin said 15 members of the group were “checked out by two local and two federal police” before meeting Mr Hunt who “appeared unmoved by the arguments presented”. She said the high number of signatures collected over a four-week period “reflects the consternation of many ordinary Australians who are concerned about the negative effects of long-term detention on the health and wellbeing
of the refugees in these centres”. “The condition of the centre on Nauru, where the Australian government is spending many thousands of dollars, was also a matter of great concern which we put to Mr Hunt.” Mr Hunt described the 24 March meeting with the grandmothers as “an open forum where members of the group were invited to share their concerns with me”. “It was an open and honest discussion and I appreciated them taking the time to share their views with me,” Mr Hunt said. Blaming the former Labor government for the number of children in detention, he said the federal government “is determined to reduce the number of children in detention to zero”. “The latest update is that the number of children in detention in Australia has dropped to just 17,” Mr Hunt said. “Regional processing centres, such as Nauru, are open centres where asy-
lum seekers are free to move around the island at their will. “All people transferred and accommodated at offshore processing centres are treated with dignity and respect and in accordance with human rights standards.” The grandmothers’ petition urges the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton to let the 267 refugees from Nauru currently in Australia stay; process their refugee claims in Australia; close the Manus Island and Nauru detention centres; and to provide permanent protection for refugees. The grandmothers say reports from the Human Rights Commission, and health and educational professionals, show that ongoing detention among refugees offers them little hope for the future and causes mental and physical illnesses. Ms Renkin said Mr Hunt told the group that the government had cut to
29 the number of children in centres. But the delegation emphasised that the children were still in detention – and that this number did not include those on Nauru. The group voiced its concerns over the time it takes to assess a refugee’s status, which “compares badly” with those of similar countries, such as Canada. When asked about the reported detrimental effects on the physical and mental health of children in detention, he said several times that it “was worse to die at sea”, Mrs Renkin said. “He did not agree government policies were causing harm and was not prepared to discuss numbers in Nauru. “He repeated several times that the current government had reduced the numbers of children and families in detention, and that the ALP had had much higher numbers when in government. “He asked where the grandmothers were when this was the situation, and intimated that we were ALP support-
ers, which we disputed.” Mr Hunt told the group he had worked in refugee camps overseas in “appalling conditions”. He said conditions on Nauru were satisfactory and listed facilities there. Mrs Renkin said the minister “gave us time and the opportunity to ask questions and state our positions … but he did not seem to change his attitudes or take note of facts and comments we made during the conversation”. “His answers and comments were repeated several times, and he seemed unable to move with the conversation,” Ms Renkin said. “He seemed impervious to the hardships the refugees face and that they are in limbo about their futures.” Mr Hunt agreed to take the petition to the Prime Minister and Mr Dutton in Canberra.

Lifelong interest leads to overseas postings Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A LOVE of stamps was nurtured in Jon Fladeby when he was a young boy in his native Norway. The seven year old was encouraged by his grandfather to appreciate his country’s stamps and to develop and maintain a worthwhile collection. It became an absorbing hobby and the basis of a lifelong interest. As a teenager and then getting married, meant there was a lack of time and opportunity. Mr Fladeby’s love of stamps remained “on the shelf” while he and his family established themselves in Australia in the early 1970s and moved to Mt Martha when he retired in the early 1990s. Fortunately, a visit from his mother and sister bringing with them a container-load of possessions, including his original stamp collection, brought the passion flooding back. “I was reunited with my stamps and became enthusiastic again,” the former research scientist said. “A neighbour at the time was the president of the Peninsula Stamp Club and things snowballed from there.” Now, as secretary of the same club, the philatelist has thousands of valuable, mostly-Norwegian, stamps all securely stored in a bank’s strong room. So extensive is Mr Fladeby’s collection that he regularly exhibits overseas and is now preparing for an international exhibition in New York next month. Of special interest are Norwegian stamps from the
1870s, dating from before the country’s switch from the former shilling to the decimal currency kronor. “The best is the last of the pre-decimals,” Mr Fladeby said. The country has a long history in stamps. The first postage stamp in 1855 depicted the coat of arms. In 1871, stamps with a posthorn design were introduced and stamps of this type, with periodic redesigns, have been used ever since. The posthorn is the logo of national post services in many countries. To get to the 28 May-4 June New York exhibition, Mr Fladeby’s and other exhibitors’ stamps will be accompanied by a special stamp commissioner, who is based in Canberra, both for their safety and to negotiate Customs. The exhibition is run by the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP), which was founded in 1926 to be the world federation for philately based in Switzerland. His previous showings have been in Calcutta and Delhi, as well as Singapore, Bangkok and Manilla. “Exhibitions are designed to promote stamp collections, as they are wonderful to look at,” said Mr Fladeby, who also buys and sells when inclined. “From 40-60 dealers arrange to buy and sell stamps, as well as promote them and give talks on special issues.” Awards are based on points earned and to help make all the effort worthwhile. “I certainly get a lot of satisfaction from exhibiting and it gives me and my wife [Leslie] the chance to take a holiday to somewhere we have never been, this time the east coast of the US.”

Veteran gets ‘wings’ 46 years after homecoming Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au STANDING in the open doorway of a pitching helicopter, spraying machine gun bullets while ducking enemy fire, was once a day at the office for Vietnam war air gunner Ian “Slug” Wilson, of Mornington. He was one of 40 Royal Australian Navy and nine Australian Army personnel to fly combat missions as door gunners on helicopter troop carriers with the 135th US Army Assault Helicopter Company 1967-1971. It was dangerous work for the crews and, while the conflict finished a long time ago, this veteran is still coming to grips with the emotional scars that have changed his life. First it was withstanding the terror of war and flying air missions against a determined enemy, and then it was the ignominy of coming home to an Australia that had turned its back on the war and those who participated. A presentation ceremony of “retrospective recognition awards” at HMAS Cerberus last week has gone some way towards easing the pain and reuniting those who fought and those who sent them there. Mr Wilson, one of seven veterans honoured, received his wings and a certificate which reads: “In recognition of service while participating in sustained aerial flight in support of allied combat ground forces in the Republic of South Vietnam. “During the period, he participated in aerial missions over hostile territory to support operations against communist aggression. During these flights, conducted
by day and night, in fair weather and foul, he displayed a high order of air discipline and acted in accordance with the best traditions of military service in a role for which he volunteered to contribute to the accomplishment of the tasked mission, in spite of the hazards inherent in repeated aerial flights over hostile territory. “By his professionalism and devotion to duty, he has brought great credit upon himself, the Royal Australian Navy and Australia.” Mr Wilson, 72, who was an aircraft mechanic seconded to the US forces during the conflict, said frustration at the lack of public recognition on coming home was “still in the back of my mind”. “We were blamed for going there and it took a long time to get recognition from the Navy,” he said yesterday. “Even some RSL clubs were pretty nasty.” He has received awards including the Air Medal, and the US military force’s “Wings”. A Somerville resident for 20 years, Mr Wilson worked as an aircraft mechanic at Tyabb airport, Bib Stillwell Aviation and later Boeing after returning from Vietnam in 1970. But the onset of post traumatic stress disorder had caused him to relive the conflict in recent years, bringing on panic attacks. Although now a TPI pensioner his days are busy: “I drive for Peninsula Transport Assist and join in at the men’s shed and I’ve volunteered over the past 12 years at the Phillip Island Vietnam Veterans’ Museum,” he said. “You’ve got to keep active.”
Time heals: Vietnam Veteran Able Seaman Rtd Ian Wilson receives his Helicopter Flight Vietnam Gunner Wings from Commander Max Speedy (ret), during a ceremony at HMAS Cerberus last week.

MEDICAL EXPERTS Prolotherapy: New Research Published
Foot St Podiatry. Dr. Carol Thomson, Podiatrist
OSTEOARTHRITIS of the knee is a chronic disease resulting in joint pain and stiffness, and decreased function. In Research news, prolotherapy with dextrose a sugar water was recently tested as a treatment for knee osteoarthritis in a double blind, randomized controlled trial at the University of Wisconsin by David Rabago MD and Jeff Patterson DO. Prolotherapy was found to be superior to both control treatments by clinically PHDQLQJIXO DQG VWDWLVWLFDOO\ VLJQL¿FDQW PDUJLQV Conclusion was that Prolotherapy resulted in clinically meaningful sustained improvement of pain, function and stiffness scores for osteoarthritis of knee when compared with blinded saline injections and at home exercises. Prolotherapy is an alternative treatment for chronic SDLQ FDWHJRUL]HG LQ WKH PHGLFDO ¿HOG DV 5HJHQHUDWLYH Medicine. This specialty medicine is exactly what it sounds like: promoting regeneration of tissue. So how does it work? Podiatrist Dr. Carol A. Thomson was recently asked about prolotherapy, here is some of what she had to say. Prolotherapy works by stimulating the same process that the body would use to heal any injury: LQÀDPPDWLRQ 7KLV LQYROYHV WKH LQMHFWLRQ RI D PLOG irritant solution (dextrose and local anaesthetic). The solution is injected into the affected connective tissue ZKLFK OHDGV WR ORFDO LQÀDPPDWLRQ DQG WULJJHULQJ RI the body’s healing cascade. New Collagen is formed and reconstruction of ligament and tendons take place. As collagen matures it shrinks and over time with each subsequent treatment, the new connective tissue continues to grow, thicken and strengthen giving stability to joints thereby relieving the pain associated with joint instability. This growing medical speciality has been around since the 1950’s. Dr. Carol A. Thomson, (Senior Podiatrist) at Foot Street Podiatry, received her initial training in Prolotherapy from Dr. Margaret Taylor of South Australia. Carol was so impressed with the treatment
outcomes that she enrolled in a Master class at the Hackett-Hemwall Foundation ( HHF), at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in the USA. Here Carol undertook supervised extensive training in prolotherapy of the whole body. This advanced course involved many long hours of hands on, body and anatomical marking prior to supervised injecting, this along with many hours of treating patients with unrelenting chronic pain at her clinics RQ WKH 3HQLQVXOD TXDOL¿HV KHU DV D KLJKO\ H[SHULHQFHG Prolotherapy practitioner delivering this treatment. Foot Street Podiatry the Foot Pain Relief clinic, leads the way with pain relief using Prolotherapy which has been around since the 1930’s. Our Foot Street Podiatry clinic has been delivering this regenerative prolotherapy treatment for the past 5 years, with excellent results. The Foot Street Frankston clinic has helped patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis, planta fasciitis, ankle ligament weakness, and tendon injuries and painful arthritic joints. Patients taking strong medications or steroid injections, which may only provide temporary relief have also been helped. Most patients show positive results to these standard conservative options, however some patients may continue to suffer from pain, reduced pain or re injure themselves. Prolotherapy has the potential to substantially alleviate the most painful of conditions. Almost any type of connective tissue injury, tendinitis or arthritic pain can be improved with its use. And the good thing is, there are rarely any contraindications, adverse effects or complications. 6RPH FRQGLWLRQV WKDW 3URORWKHUDS\ PD\ EHQH¿W Arthritis, Tendonitis, Planta Fasciitis, Sporting injuries, Post-surgical pain, Knee problems, Osteoarthritis of the knee, Ankle instability (sprains/strains) Prolotherapy may not be for everyone, an appointment to review suitability for treatment is required You can phone Foot Street Podiatry on 97663253.

YOGA AND WELLNESS PROGRAM FOR PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON’S Next term commencing: 17th April – 26th June 2016 YOGA involves a set of postures and controlled breathing to help attain good physical and mental health. Many studies have proven that these exercises help achieve good health. Studies have also shown that regular practice of yoga for people suffering from Parkinson’s can help control the disease and improve the condition. Stiffness in the body’s core is one of the most debilitating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease because it hampers the ability to walk across a room or simply stand upright. Restorative poses and gentle twists that strengthen the trunk are believed to reduce stiffness and improve mobility. 6RPH EHQH¿WV LQFOXGH • Visible reduction in tremors • Improvement in the steadiness of gait (immediately following yoga session) • Improved control of body movements • Improved mobility and range of movement • Improved balance • Reduced depression, anxiety and fatigue • Reduced stiffness • Improved sleep • Increased mindfulness There are 3 components to any good yoga SURJUDP • Controlled breathing (Pranayam) • Postures (Asanas) • Meditation (Dhyan) Yoga for people with Parkinson’s disease

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Frankston youth go to university Compiled by Melissa Walsh WE are pleased to note that two members of families residing in Frankston, have, by passing the Senior Public examinations and matriculating, become undergraduates of the Melbourne University. They are Miss Elsie Young, daughter of the proprietor of this paper, and Sydney Plowman, son of Dr Plowman. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale at Somerville. on Wednesday next, when they will have a good yarding of stock, including a number of pigs. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold a clearing sale at Shoreham, under instructions from Mr Geo. Baynton, on Wednesday next, commencing at half past one o’clock,consisting of dairy plant, horses, cows, household furniture and effects. *** MESSRS T. R. B. Morton and Son, in conjunction with Messrs Alex Scott and Co, will hold an extensive sale, at their rooms, 72 Swanston street, on Friday, 28th April, of rich farm and orchard areas, seaside blocks, etc. situated at Red Hill, Shoreham and Flinders, on Westernport Bay, on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, in the estate of the late John Bayne, Esq , under instruction from the Trustee Executors and Agency Co.
For full particulars see our advertising columns. *** A MOVEMENT has been started in Victoria to form a farmers’ union, which is intended to embrace all rural producers. The proposal is to establish branches in each district. There will be divisional councils in each of the Federal electoral divisions, and the bodies and branches will be represented on a State council. The objects of the movement are to protect the interests of farmers and rural producers on the land, in the city, at wharfs and in markets; to secure “fuller aid more aggressive representation in each of the houses of Parliament,” and to secure unity of action by producers-industrial, commercial and political. The office of the secretary is at 49 Elizabeth Street. *** HOW the Tide of the War is Running. Dr Fitchett, in the April number of “Life,” is very confident that the tide of the war has turned and is beginning to run strongly in favor of the Allies. He does not appear to think that the War is ended, or even that the end is in sight, but his opinion is that the effect on the whole war of the Russian victories in Asia Minor, and the German repulses at Verdun, will be immediately left. One section of Dr Fitchett’s History of the Month, in “Life” deals with
the Verdun attack; another is devoted to “The Bewildering Geography of the War,” a third to “Some of the surprises and puzzles of the Great War;” and still another to a review of Sir Ian Hamilton’s famous despatch describing what he calls “The Great Adventure of Gallipoli.” The general articles in “Life” are particularly timely and well illustrated, while the regular departments are well maintained. “Life” is sold locally for sevenpence but if unobtainable, a postal note for 3s 6d sent to T. Shaw Fitchett, 376 Swanston St, Melbourne, will bring it by post for six months. *** PRIOR to Private F. Burton going to the front, members of the Frankston Football Club felt it incumbent on them not to let him depart without some small recognition of his valuable services as a player, and at very short notice, as it was only known a day or two ago that he was on his final leave, and booked to sail on Tuesday last, a number of his friends assembled at the Mechanics’ Institute on Saturday evening to bid him good bye. Dr Plowman was voted to the chair. Apologies were received from Captain Sherlock and Mr Gray. Mr W. Richardson, having explained the object of the meeting, said that Private Burton had been connected with football since boyhood and had always proved himself a reliable player and a good sport. He had no
doubt he would display the same spirit now he was going to play the sterner game of war. Cr Oates was pleased, yet sorry, for the object they had met. Fred had always been a reliable man and had always played the game fairly. He felt convinced that when he got to the front he would give a good account of himself. On his return he would receive a hearty welcome. Mr R. Croskell expressed the opinion that Private Burton would prove a bitter pill to the enemy. He would be all there. He wished him God Speed. Messrs E. K. M’Comb, M. Brody, W. Hartland, E. M. M’Comb and A. Walker also spoke in eulogistic terms of Private Burton, and wished him a safe return. The chairman had known Private Burton since boyhood, and spoke of him as always taking a keen interest in football. He was pleased to assist at the send-off. He held the man who volunteers to be worthy of all esteem, and wished him a safe return, covered with glory. Mr Richardson, on behalf of the members of the Football Club, then presented Private Burton with a wristlet watch, accompanied by their best wishes for his safe return. Private Burton feelingly responded. The presentation was totally unexpected and while thanking them heartily for it, hoped that he would be able to maintain the high opinion expressed of him by them.
*** THE funeral of the late Mr A. C. Westway, of Somerville, took place on Saturday afternoon, the remains being followed to the place of interment (Frankston Cemetery), by a large number of relatives and friends. The members of the local branches of the M.U.I.O.O.F. and I.O.R. preceded the hearse, and impressive services were held at the grave by Rev R. Jackson, of the Methodist Church (of which body deceased was a member) and the two societies. Mr N. McDonald reading the I.O.R. service and Mr A. Rivett, the service of the M.U.I.O.O.F. The funeral arrangements were conducted by Mr H. Gamble, of Frankston. *** A FAREWELL afternoon tea to Miss Watson will be held at the Red Cross Room, Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday afternoon April 12th. All subscribers to the fund and friends of Miss Watson will be welcomed. *** AUSTRALIAN Expeditionary Forces. Recruits wanted. Every man physically fit is wanted. Conditions of enlistment. Age— 18 to 45 years. Minimum height—5 feet 2 inches. Chest measurement — 33 inches. Persons desiring to enlist should apply at the nearest ‘Town Hall, Shire Hall, Drill Hall, or Recruiting Depot. where arrangements will be made. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 8 April, 1916

Revised plans for Martha Cove Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au PLANS have been unveiled to complete a major piece of the Martha Cove marina and residential jig saw puzzle-like development at Safety Beach. Known as the Martha Cove Village Centre, the 6.4 hectare site includes a “marina hub” with a cafe and support facilities and services for the marina, one 1000 square metre shop, several small shops and a 200-seat restaurant. But by far the largest part of the site is devoted to housing: 215 apartments and 100 “townhomes”. A public space – Anchorage Park – is separated from the marina itself by a block of three-storey apartments and lies between the three-level homes to be built on lots 01 and 06. In 2002, City Pacific estimated developing Martha Cove as one project would cost $650 million, including 900 residences and 600 marina berths. Since then the company has collapsed and parcels of the original Martha Cove land have been sold and developed by separate companies. The latest proposal is outlined in a large, glossy 168-page Martha Cove Village Centre Development Plan Report. The plan shown to Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors outlines a staged development and is described as being “a holistic tool different from previous documents for the centre”. The proposal is described as “a contemporary interpretation of the peninsula character”, and cites developments in Florida, Sweden, France, Spain, Perth and Queensland (Paradise Point) under the heading “Project Exemplars + Precedence”. Federal MP, developer and mining magnate Clive Palmer has a property at Paradise Point, which is at the Broadwater on the Gold Coast. The village centre for Martha Cove is also described as “a habitat of modern lifestyle inspired by the spirit of the Mornington Peninsula”. The proponent for the Martha Cove village centre is listed as Denarke Pty Ltd ATF Martha Cove Vineyard No. 1 Trust, a company which is also selling housing sites and boat berths at nearby Brindabella Point, one of the residential arms extending into the marina. Denarke bought the land in 2014.
The village centre site is proposed to be subdivided into 13 “superlots”, either for apartments, “townhomes” or shops. In one part of the document setbacks are described as “minimal” so they will “contribute to the urban character of the village centre”. Further on in the document most superlot setbacks are described as “zero”. There are also extra opportunities with each superlot development, ranging from tree planting to adding granny flats, studios and flats above garages. The design, which “echoes age-old patterns of waterfront villages”, includes four three-storey “touch point” buildings (apartments) with semicircular frontages. The developers say “interim activities” will be held in the shops if they initially prove to be economically unviable. An electric punt is proposed to provide access to the southern part of the marina. Councillors were shown the document during a briefing by Denarke representatives on 27 January. The developers want to amend an existing planning permit and, according to statutory planning manager Niall Sheedy, have been asked to provide more details. The developers say provisions of the Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme do not “directly control” use and development of the site, but concede “it does still contain some use and built form controls that cannot be exceeded”. The developers want to increase building heights to 10 metres, two metres more than allowed under the current planning permit. They point out that building heights relate to natural ground levels which, for much of the site, is above the existing levels because of earthworks. There is no depth restriction for cellars. The developers say the privately owned green wedge land to the east of the proposed village centre offers scope for “extensive passive and active recreation activities”. A boat launching ramp, car parking and marina-related buildings are already operating within the green wedge land. They say the “vision and master plan” was developed with the clients and project team engaging with the shire’s design review panel.

Time for breaky before teeing off A CHARITY golf day at Portsea Golf Club, Friday 22 April, will raise funds for Southern Peninsula Food for All’s new storeroom at Rosebud. In its 25th year, the organisation has packed and distributed more than 51,000 weekly food parcels for the needy all over the peninsula. At $150 per person, the Ambrose tournament is an opportunity to play on a links course among sand dunes adjoining Point Nepean National Park. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Graham Pittock will host the day which includes a breakfast roll and coffee before the shotgun start
at 8.30am. After the game there is a buffet lunch in the clubhouse, recognition of sponsors and presentation of prizes, as well as a silent auction. “With the demand for emergency food parcels continuing to grow each year, Southern Peninsula Food for All has been forced to find larger premises to pack food parcels for those in need,” Cr Pittock said. “I encourage any member of the community to participate by playing, sponsoring or donating.” Entries close Friday 15 April.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Once Bittern, twice shy By Stuart McCullough ‘BIG ups’. Until the moment these words were uttered, I’d been having a perfectly pleasant time. We were driving to Bittern, listening to a selfdeclared ‘youth orientated’ radio station. I’d been heartened by the fact that songs which, ostensibly, were written, performed and directed towards young people did not sound like something that made me want to hand my ears back on the grounds that they were clearly defective. Rather, these were songs that sounded like songs and not a computer malfunction. After the music stopped, a voice that sounded as if she may not yet be old enough to drive uttered the words that would cause my sense of wellbeing to instantly unravel. When the music stopped, I had no idea what to expect. It’s fair to say that I did not see it coming. Without hesitation, the announcer stated that before the next song, she wanted to offer ‘big ups’ to a listener who happened to driving back to Byron Bay. It was all I could do to not pull the car to the side of the road, get out of the car and shake my fists at the sky. It was a statement of such overwhelming randomness, I could barely function and my mind was awash with questions. Did the listener call in and specifically request on-air ‘big ups’ or were they bestowed on him regardless? Will ‘big ups’ result in accelerated advancement through high school or University? Having received ‘big ups’, what do you do with them? Put

Bittern Recreation Hall, as remembered by the author. them in a vase? Frame them? Once I might have known the answers to these questions. For there was a time not so long ago that I understood youth culture because I was part of it rather than, as I am now, a spectator from an ever-increasing distance. Luckily, I had resisted the urge to pull over and we continued on along Coolart Road before taking the turnoff for Bittern. The last time I’d been there I’d been as young as the radio announcer. As we approached the town, there was a blue sign pointing to the right, indicating that this was the direction you took if you looking for the Bittern Recreation Centre. I remember it well. Our band played there just the once. It was a school dance and it was the
era before the DJ ruled supreme. There was a small stage and a PA we’d rented that might have been the right size if, in fact, we’d been playing Festival Hall and not Bittern. We’d used the afternoon to sound-check and waited anxiously for our schoolmates to begin arriving for what would, without doubt, be the greatest night of their lives. Usually, school dances are incredibly uncool. If there’s a band, they’re usually only there to crank out approximate versions of songs from the radio. The mere act of recognition can often be enough to send the audience into a frenzy. We, however, were not that kind of band. Rather, we decided that the best way to entertain an audience of teenagers, teachers and the
occasional parent was to unleash our catalog of original compositions on an unsuspecting crowd. Right away, it was clear that our music was having a profound effect. So overwhelmed were our schoolmates, they immediately vacated the dance floor. Presumably, this was in order to fully appreciate every nuance of the set list. Given how long we’d worked on those tunes, I couldn’t blame them for feeling a little awestruck. Besides, it’s hard to really take in the lyrics if you’re dancing. You’re much better off crossing your arms and closing your eyes and letting the poetry of it all wash over you. When it was over, I can’t recall anyone saying that they thought they liked it. I certainly can’t recall anyone offering
‘big ups’. For reasons I can’t quite put my finger on, I wanted to turn right and visit the Bittern Recreation Hall. I suspected it might be a lot smaller than I remembered, as that’s the way it is with most things these days, including the jeans that seemed to fit perfectly just two years ago. It in a more ideal world, there would be a plaque, if not a statue, commemorating if not the time 20/20 Vision played the school dance at the Bittern Recreation Hall, then at least celebrating the moment we finished and turned our amps off. I didn’t turn. Rather, I kept on driving through Bittern. It might well have been the scene of one of my greatest musical triumphs, but there’s nothing left to indicate it. In a post ‘big ups’ universe, where praise can be heaped upon you for no more than sending a text message to a radio station, it’s too much to expect that our concert should be remembered other than for the tinnitus that some of the audience members no doubt still experience to this day. Later in the afternoon, we drove back through Bittern one more time and I turned the radio way up. Perhaps it’s enough for me to tell that story one more time to my wife, even if she’s heard it all before. For the past is a powerful thing. We reconstruct it to give ourselves comfort I think. And as we cruised on past the Bittern Recreational Hall, the thought of that night all those years made me happy. If nothing else, that deserves ‘big ups’. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

THE CONWAY RESILIENCE By Melissa Walsh Deborah Conway has never shied away from hard work. With a career spanning three decades, she continues to be a creative force in the industry, singing songs that chronicle the essential elements of life, love, loss, memory, the mundane and the spiritual.
between cooking and writing. “Its only the geography that changes. We have been working together for close to 26 years, since I employed him as the guitar player on the tour for the 1991 album String of Pearls. We rarely run out of things to talk about but when we need to fill up our creativity we go to a gallery or a bike ride or walk.”
A significant and eloquent contributor to Australian music, Conway’s natural talent and gutsy attitude has ensured a strong following from the moment her band, Do Re Mi released the iconic Man Overboard off their debut album Domestic Harmony in 1985, to present day collaborations with her husband, Willly Zygier.
Being Jewish and atheists is just another way this inspirational couple manage to think outside the square, and their love of the poetry around the Talmud inspired their 2013 album, Stories of Ghosts. “Being Jewish is a large part of our lives. We observe Shabbat dinners on Friday night and find it extraordinarily rich in history and tradition. Jews have been doing the same thing for a long time and there is something very precious about that,” said Conway. “In Stories of Ghosts we were really interested in exploring this kind of thing, and the poetry in the Talmud has been a wonderful resource for many creative artists.”
Grounded, focused and unfazed by the notoriety, Conway, a mother of three, continues to be an inspiration to young women around the globe. “I have always been a very strong personality which is in part because of my father. I always felt I could be in charge of my own destiny and every part of my growing up indicated my future depended on the decisions I made,” said Conway, who moved out of home at 20. “I was modeling at the time but had always been interested in music. I loved singing and performing and was a natural show-off. I dabbled in different bands, and then joined a Melbourne band called the Benders, which was an interesting grounding. We did heaps of shows in the eight months I was with them. When the drummer left the band to go to Sydney, I was a friend of his and decided to make the move and joined Do Re Mi.” Conway’s ability to think outside the square meant the band knew they had to do things differently to get people coming to gigs, so they decided to make an EP before performing on stage. “We decided to do it differently, making the album and sending it to radio stations. Then we started performing live at venues and the audience had already heard the music on the radio.” While modeling would have continued to be a lucrative career, Conway says she knew it was mainly a means to an end. “I modeled from 18 to 23 as a way to pay the rent and earn money to play music. The watershed moment for me was getting the feature film, Running On Empty. That, combined with recording the soundtrack for Sweet and Sour, meant I could give up the modeling money.” Stepping out as a solo artist in 1991, Conway’s departure from Do Re Mi opened up yet another creative element to the iconic singer-songwriter’s repertoire with her debut solo album; String of Pearls’
It was 2004 when the creative couple decided to make their first independent record, another brave move that paid off.
themes of youthful reflection and tongue-incheek irreverence embodied in It’s Only The Beginning, and Release Me. Another gutsy move, the sojourn into a solo career won her the ARIA Award for Best Female Artist that year, making her a rare female agitator in a time when the music industry was male dominated. When it comes to longevity, Conway has a simple philosophy, saying it’s all about integrity. “I’m just me and I don’t have a studied plan to go by but what I think is extremely valuable is your integrity. That stuff is very important to me and that’s the way to be an authentic person is to hold those values,” said Conway. “It affects your song writing and what you represent.” As for raising a family, the 55-year-old singer says it’s been relatively easy for her to juggle kids and career as she basically makes her own hours. “All women who decide to have a family have to make those decisions as to how much time they can afford to take off work, still more women than men make those decisions. I
had it easy, I make my own hours, I am self employed and I decide when I want to work being a performing artist,” said Conway, who is mum to Syd, 21 Alma, 18, and Hettie, 16. “The girls are all musical – they get it from both sides of the family. The oldest two are pursuing university degrees in aspects of music and the youngest is doing VCE music in year 11. Whether they become musicians they are all musical and they get it from the genes.” Being married to Willy for eight years and together for 26, the musical couple have always encouraged the girls to play an instrument. “From the age of four, they were encouraged to play the piano. We wrote a song for them... we were going to go to Tamworth and play it there for the very first time. It came about when we were on a long drive to Jarvis Bay and thought we could keep them entertained. They fought all the way along,” she said with a laugh. “But they do actually sing together like angels.” Working and living together with husband Willy, Conway says there is no demarcation
“We really cut ties with record companies and used a distribution company. We could handle the recording process but the challenge was marketing. We weren’t being played on the radio and were trying to find a way to get our music into people’s homes,” said Conway. “So I thought ‘why not just walk in?’ We decided to do it like Tupperware but called them Summerware Parties. We offered a deal that if people bought 30 CDs or more, we would come to their home and do a gig for 20 minutes. It was fantastic, they invited their friends and they got to experience pure music right in front of them with voices and a guitar. It was very successful. You have to be creative as the industry is not like it was... people don’t even buy CDs any more.” Always looking for a way to break down the walls and inspire musicians, Conway is resilient and determined, organizing Shir Madness in Melbourne last year as festival director. “Last year we did a festival in Melbourne called Shir Madness and we will do it again in 2017. It was a huge thing so had to put our own record on hold for it,” said Conway, who is currently working on a new album “We sold out on the day. It was like a mini womad in Elsternwick.” Deborah Conway will be performing as part of PURE GOLD LIVE SALUTES – THE BEST OF THE ’70s, ’80s & ’90s at the Palais Theatre on Friday, 13th May.

How far Frankston YCW? PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt MANY believe there will be daylight between Frankston YCW and the rest of the competition in MPNFL Peninsula Division this season. Such talk would obviously upset opposition players and clubs, however, it really could be justified if you opted to mount an argument. YCW are a team that had 33 to 11 scoring shots in the 2015 Grand Final against the second best team and won the flag by 13-points shy of 100. This is a club that won 15 of 18 games in 2015, scored an average of 125 points per game and conceded just 48 points. Regardless of the stats, there will be teams challenging. Mt Eliza will be there again and Pines have recruited extremely well. Let’s start with the reigning premier. While many clubs did their best to smash and grab players from the Stonecats during the off-season, they all recommitted. Lachy Wallace and Anthony Barry have had interrupted pre-seasons in the VFL and are expected to play the first few with the Stonecats. Benny Tellis hangs up the boots after a superb career but Ricky Morris comes back. Brad Ulms is probably the only notable out in a team that had 12 players nominated in the 2015 Team of the Year. Frankston YCW will be the benchmark. Seaford is the club that gets to play YCW in Round one. The Tigers were comprehensively beaten on Easter Saturday by a Pines team that had no midfield rotations in the second half. The Tigers are a relatively new outfit that will rely on getting games into the kids and rebuilding. Mt Eliza is the interesting story under Edithvale premiership coach, Troy Shannon. The Redlegs finished on top of the ladder last season with 16 wins from 18 games, however, bowed out of the finals in straight sets. Shannon is a wonderful coach. He brings the best out in his players, gets in the trenches with them and is a wonderful teacher of the game. The Redlegs need someone to educate the very talented kids coming through – and there are a heap of them. The Redlegs do have concerns in attack. They have lost their only two key forwards in Scott Lockwood (Sorrento) and Justin Van Unen (won’t be available for at least the first month and even then he may land at Richmond in the VFL). Defender Jack Egan joins Lockwood at Sorrento and ruckman Blair Whelan has also left. Daniel Gormley returns from Dromana and the big win was that Rohan Heasley turned his back on Queensland and decided to stay. David Hand comes with big wraps from the EFL, Matt Jackson and Matt Stanley are stars from the EFL and Matt and Jay Neratzoglou return. Those who discount the Redlegs are kidding themselves. What a game to kick off their season against Pines, the other team right in the mix.
Eagles fly high: After trailing by nine points at half time, Edithvale booted five goals to one in the third term to set up the win in their Easter clash. Picture: Scott Memery
Pines is already out of the blocks with a big 69 point win over Seaford on Easter Saturday. Aaron Edwards was the star of the competition last season and he started 2016 in even better fashion than where he left off. He booted five goals in a
blistering opening term before finishing with seven for the match. He played as much through the middle as he did in attack. Tim Bongetti booted six goals in the second half while Paul Scanlon was a bull through the middle.
Together with Luke Potts, Scanlon was on ball for the entire second half due to a lack of rotations through injury. We were all told to hold onto our hats with Paul Scanlon and Tim Bongetti and they didn’t disappoint.
Guy Hendry booted three goals also for Pines, highlighting the overall potency of the Pythons up front. Defensively, Pines stood up again. The back six average no more than 15 games between them but due to the improvement, along with the willingness of the mids and forwards to work back to support, the Pythons are yet to concede more than 56 points in four matches (including practice matches). Karingal will get away to a flier this season beating old foe Langwarrin. The Kangas will be the new whipping boys of the competition after losing the likes of Rikki Johnston, Jarryd Amalfi, Ash Collins, Matt Dimkos, Dale Eames, Mith Gill-Furness, Ethan Rahilly and skipper Scott Sienkiewicz, while Luke O’Neil has retired. The Bulls have landed forwards Chris Hay and Leigh Poholke, midfielders Call Dixon and Luke Duhig and defenders Anthony Joel and Duncan Proud. The Bulls have an outstanding bunch of kids coming through too, who went deep in last year’s Unders finals. Mornington tackle Bonbeach. The Dogs have lost Paul Dadds and Mitch Stansborough to Crib, the Nolan brothers have gone, as has Adam Symes and Ben Wells is in the VFL. Bonbeach led at half time by nine points on Good Friday against Edithvale before the Eagles booted five goals to one in the third to set up their win. Elliott Macquire from Old Mentonians had an immediate impact on Peninsula Division with a best on ground display for the Sharks while Wonthaggi recruit Chris Wylie booted two goals and was a big unit in attack. Shane McDonald booted a couple in his return game for the Sharks while recruits Jack Williams and James Murnane were standouts. On Sunday, Edithvale and Chelsea will play their traditional clash. The Eagles started their season in wonderful fashion against Bonbeach, winning by nine points. The talk around the Eagles has been doom and gloom in the off season with the likes of Brett O’Hanlon, Brad Tagg, Tim Mavris, Jordy Derbyshire and Jarrod Garth all leaving the club. However, they still have the likes of Tim and Steve Mannix, Mark Mullins, Mick Meehan, Tommy Turner, Jeremy Heys, Zac Muschialli, Todd Woodbridge and Matt Kremmer running around, with a sprinkling of new talent. Chelsea have a new coach in Brett Dunne, their fourth coach in as many seasons. The Gulls have certainly added some talent to the list, however, have lost a few in ruckman Rory Gregg, Robbie Lancaster, Alex Smout, Ryan Stewart, Hudson Thomas and Jayden Attard. The upshot is that there are only three teams who can win the flag – YCW, Pines and Mt Eliza. The rest will fight it out for fourth and fifth with Langwarrin finishing on the bottom.

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard
Nepean teams under pressure By Toe Punt THE 2016 MPNFL Nepean Division season gets into full swing this Saturday and already there are a couple of teams under pressure. One of them is Rye. The Demons were nothing short of ordinary in their Good Friday clash with Rosebud, a match played out in a draw. This Saturday, Rye tackles the side many believe will go one better in season 2016, Somerville. The Eagles were potent against Tyabb on Easter Saturday with Tommy Shaw booting nine and Luke Rowe seven, while a further nine players hit the scoreboard. Rye’s defensive pressure hasn’t been good for a number of years and one questions whether they can hold the Eagles. The Rye midfield doesn’t work hard enough to push back and defend and its defenders are undersized. Somerville’s concern is its inability to stop teams from scoring. It will more often win in a shootout but it can’t afford to give sides such as Tyabb an opportunity to kick 72 points. If the Eagles have learned anything from last season in a bid to go one better, it must be to restrict opposition from scoring and shutting them down. In a 16 round season, it’s hard to come back from 0-2. This will be something Rye will need to face on Saturday night. The other side under pressure is last
year’s premier, Rosebud. The Buds too were ordinary against Rye at Easter and must improve a lot to knock over Dromana this weekend. When you lose three players from your front six (Tom Baker, Lachy Armstrong and Cade Williams) and three of your best from the middle (Jason Bristow, Paul McDonald and Rob Forrest), things are going to be tough. They tackle a Dromana side that has rediscovered its hunger, passion and spirit – all words that best describe new coach Rikki Johnston. Beau Cosson is a revelation, Williams comes up against his old side, Adam Hunter got going in the second half last week (although he should be playing off half back) and will improve as time moves on and the Tigers are full of spirit after beating Sorrento. Like Rye, Rosebud will be 0-2 after two matches. Crib Point and Red Hill will be a fascinating game. The Magpies have done well in the off season, picking up some quality in the likes of Taylor Stratton as coach, Kain Stratton, Paul Dadds and Mitch Stansborough from Mornington and Matt Hogan from YCW. At Red Hill, the talk has been more about the losses and less about the ins. The Red Hill Football Club has lost 22 players from its 2015 list, nine of them starting 18 players, who include Paul Wintle, Jake and Josh Mold, Ben Macguiness, Matt Vagg and Jarred Eames. The Hillmen have picked up some
good players though, especially the Marchetti brothers from Cora-Lynn, as well as Jackson Dalton, who has been kicking bags in practice matches. Former Frankston YCW premiership player Benny Poole is also a sensational get while Nick Walsh is hard as a cat’s head in defence. As noted already, there’s no time to get going in a 16 round competition. Teams need to hit the ground running. The winner of this match may still not play finals. The loser definitely won’t. Devon Meadows was the flyer late last season and it has recruited very well in the off season. Former Frankston YCW leader and Team of the Year MVP Stevey Roberts is without question the pick of all recruits across the competition. Despite coming off knee injuries, he is unquestionably a star. Justin Volk from Tyabb is a good get too, as is Andrew Kiely and ruckman Jesse Bowe. Callum O’Hare is a great get (back from a knee) and Curtis Barker will be as he gets himself fit. The Panthers need to be mindful of being too top heavy in attack with Kiely, Dylan Hand and Glenn Michie. Kiely is a sensational defender and should be parked at centre half back or full back. Those who have seen Devon in practice matches believe there is not enough defensive pressure. Pearcedale was disappointing against Frankston Bombers on Good Friday. There were a couple of stand out performances from Joel White across

all reports. Tyabb booted 11 goals against Somerville in a consistent performance over four quarters. The Yabbies start from a long way back. Frankston Bombers are widely tipped to be playing finals, given their favourable draw and strong recruiting in the off season. Dale Sutton is without question the pick of the recruits, while Jarryd Amalfi gives them the run, carry and long kick from half back. It frees Beau Muston to play through the middle or pinch-hit in attack. Ryan Kitchen proved his worth taking strong contested marks and Nathan Lonie is a star who provides composure, experience and a sure kick. Josh Chapman looks set to have a really good season also.

half back and Dylan Hoare through the middle. The Dales were missing a few also, most notably Pat Heijden, which leaves Michael Williams as the only key target. Travis Bravo needs to be left inside the attacking 50m arc to be of most value at his new club. Devon Meadows are a big show for the five this season and will start their journey positively. Sorrento simply must bounce back at home against Hastings. The Sorras were pretty good in spurts against Dromana but it wasn’t enough to get them over the line. Put simply, the Sorrento team needs to start operating as a team and less as a group of talented individuals. Previous coach Troy Schwarze would simply put his 22 on the field and allow them to beat their opponent and win the game. It worked more often than not. New coach Nick Jewell will provide structure, discipline and a team ethos – the sooner all Sorrento players embrace this and charge forward, the sooner it will get its season back on track. New recruit Nick Corr is an absolute gem. The key is to play Corr high and Scott Lockwood deep – they will be lethal. Hastings has picked up Mark Devereaux (returned) and Nathan Gray, who comes with massive wraps from the EFL. Luke Smith from Seaford is also an outstanding get, while coach Brendan Dunne is fit and firing from

All-New Mazda MX-5 wins both 2016 World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year THE All-New Mazda MX-5 has won the 2016 World Car of the Year award. It is the second Mazda to win the award, following the Mazda2 in 2008. The third generation MX-5 was one of three finalists for the same award in 2006, as was the Mazda3 in 2014. In addition to taking the main award this year, the Mazda MX-5 has also been named World Car Design of the Year. It is the first time in the history of the awards that a single model has taken both titles. World Car of the Year was established in 2004 by an international group of automotive journalists, and the judging panel this year consisted of 73 journalists from 23 different countries. The MX-5 was announced victorious over the Audi A4 Sedan/Audi A4 Avant and the Mercedes-Benz GLC at the New York International Auto Show. The other finalists for World Car Design of the Year were the Jaguar XE and First-Ever Mazda CX-3. “What a wonderful honour to have the Mazda MX-5 named both World Car of the Year and World Car Design of the Year,” said Masahiro Moro, President and CEO, Mazda North American Operations, and Managing Executive Officer, Mazda Motor Corporation. “As our iconic MX-5 roadster approaches one-million units of production, this award is proof that it is
as young, vibrant, fun and relevant as ever, and proof that every Mazda looks as incredible as it drives, and
drives as incredibly as it looks. “While I accept this award on behalf of the company, I do so repre-
senting every Mazda employee, retail partner and customer around the world who has ever felt the joy of
driving a pure roadster. Ikuo Maeda, Mazda’s Executive Officer and General Manager of the Design Division, said, “I’m very proud to accept this award, proof that our designs can connect with people all around the world. “Our new-generation lineup has been designed under the KODO design theme which aims to bring cars to life, and we’ve continually refined the beauty of its forms. “Mazda is a proud Japanese brand and we are determined to continue enhancing our designs moving forward.” The fourth-generation MX-5 is the sixth model in Mazda’s new-generation line-up of vehicles featuring the full range of SKYACTIV Technology and ‘KODO - Soul of Motion’ design. Launched globally in 2015, the model has found favour with customers thanks to its vastly reduced curb weight, human-centered design and “Jinba-ittai” fun-to-drive feel. The All-New Mazda MX-5 has won over 30 awards so far, including Wheels car of the Year in Australia, the 2015-2016 Car of the Year Japan and 2016 UK Car of the Year. The retractable hardtop version of the model, Mazda MX-5 RF, made its world premiere at the New York International Auto Show.
