Track tragedy FRANKSTON Motorcycle Club members Justin Stone (vice president), Anthony Ferguson (junior riders coordinator), Riley Fusco (junior member) and Ralph Ridley (club president) hope Frankston Council will reconsider its decision to end the club’s lease at the Frankston City Motorcycle Track in the wake of a fatality last month.

Club faces end of track Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE race is on to save the Frankston City Motorcycle Park as an affordable venue for motocross riders after Frankston Council decided not to renew its lease with the Frankston Motorcycle Club in the wake of a fatality at the Seaford track last month.

A 20-year-old man died after a collision with a fellow motocross rider and council asked the club to close the Seaford facilities in the short term (‘Fatality closes motorcycle track’, The Times 13/4/15).

Last Friday council issued a statement headed “Safety first priority at Frankston Motorcycle Park” and advised the Frankston Motorcycle Club’s tenancy would end on 28 May.

DIVORCE LAWYERS

“Council resolved to take action to ensure the safety and management of the facilities, to prevent any future tragedies, such as the death of a recreational motorcyclist earlier this month,” deputy mayor Cr Glenn Aitken said in the statement.

Council has asked Motorcycling Victoria to manage the venue as a “recreational track” for 12 months which would see the basic and inter-

mediate, although not expert, tracks reopen until council, Motorcycling Victoria and the Frankston Motorcycle Club can agree a long-term management plan for the motorcycle park.

Motorcycle club members and track users are worried fees to use the track will be too expensive for many Frankston motocross riders if MV takes over the management of the venue.

Saints to turn back on Seaford Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE Saints are marching out. St Kilda Football Club’s long rumoured return to Moorabbin Reserve looks set to become reality after Kingston Council agreed to welcome the AFL club back to its former home by contributing $5 million towards a Moorabbin Reserve redevelopment project.

Negotiations behind closed doors between the Saints, the AFL, Labor state government and Kingston Council have paved the way for St Kilda to head back to Moorabbin just three years after Frankston Council kicked in about $4 million of ratepayers’ money to a joint AFL, state government and council deal to entice the Saints to Seaford.

Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said council has “been in regular discussions with all the stakeholders involved in this negotiation and are working towards the best outcome for our community, to best utilise our state of the art sporting facilities.”

Premier Daniel Andrews has indicated the state government will work with Frankston Council to base another sporting club at the Linen House sporting complex (‘Saints set to quit Seaford’, The Times 27/4/15).

Council released a copy of a letter from Mr Hovenden to Mr Andrews late last week about St Kilda’s likely move back to Moorabbin.

In the letter, dated 21 April, Mr Hovenden in part stated: “I have been somewhat bewildered, as a key stakeholder, that council has been aware

of discussion on this matter only through media reporting.”

The Times understands the state government has been in contact with Frankston Council since the letter was sent although the Premier has not provided an official written response yet.

Government spokesman Patrick Lane confirmed there have been “regular discussions with a number of stakeholders including the Frankston Council about arrangements for the future use of the Seaford facility”.

“The St Kilda Football Club’s lease with the Frankston Council is a matter for those two parties. The Government does not have a role in tenancy arrangements or contracts,” he said.

“As a partner in this project we are committed to achieving a good outcome for everybody.”

The Saints moved its administration and training base from Moorabbin to Seaford after an acrimonious departure in 2007 over a dispute with Kingston Council about the number of gaming machines at Moorabbin.

Although Kingston councillors voted to expand its planned community football hub at Moorabbin Reserve to include St Kilda’s return, many remembered how the previous Saints hierarchy acted before their exit from Moorabbin.

“It’s probably fair to say it’ll take a fair amount of time to build up that trust again after what happened last time,” Cr John Ronke said.

Cr Rosemary West was most vocal in opposition to the Saints’ return to Moorabbin.

“This is a football team that puts money first and happily sells itself to

the highest bidder,” she said.

Several Kingston councillors expressed concerns about handing over so much of their community’s money to the AFL team but ultimately decided the expected long-term benefits to the expanded Moorabbin Reserve redevelopment project outweighed any financial risk.

St Kilda released a media statement after Kingston councillors voted to commit ratepayers’ money to the expanded $29 million redevelopment, up from $10.9 million before St Kilda’s involvement.

“Last night’s decision was an important step forward in restoring our club’s presence and involvement with

the people of Moorabbin but it’s not the finishing line - there are still a number of matters to work through with stakeholders,” Saints CEO Matt Finnis said.

Mr Finnis said St Kilda had met regularly with Kingston Council as part of its push to revitalise the Moorabbin Reserve precinct and put forward an official proposal in February.

The Saints’ proposal to council to expand the redevelopment includes the removal of the GG Huggins stand to make way for state-of-the art training and administration facilities plus an indoor sports court.

St Kilda will also cover some ongoing maintenance costs.

AUSTRALIAN of the Year 2015 Rosie Batty is guest speaker at Southern Lights Church on Mother’s Day, 10am, Sunday 10 May. The church is at 20 McCormicks Rd, Skye.

Ms Batty – who is also the Pride of Australia National Courage Medal recipient - is regarded a leader in the crusade against domestic violence and has turned her personal tragedy into a fight to help others.

Southern Lights’ Pastor Karen Nicholes said Rosie had risen above the loss of her 11-year-old son, Luke, who was the victim of domestic violence at the hands of his father in a very public assault.

Her name has become synonymous with the words courage and resilience.

Ms Batty continues to champion efforts against domestic violence, she said. She and former Victorian Police Chief Ken Lay have been named as founding members of an advisory panel on preventing violence against women.

“Rosie’s incredible strength and selfless efforts are an inspiration to many people,” she said.

Smash and grab for cigarettes FOUR thieves used the old hip-and-shoulder to force open the door of a Karingal tobacco store on Anzac Day to steal a large quantity of cigarettes.

Detective Senior Constable Gavin Hiku, of Frankston CIU, said the men had earlier used a jemmy bar to force open the roller door of the next door Australia Post shop at the Ashleigh Avenue shopping centre at 3.05am.

“They obviously hadn’t done their research, as they soon realised they had broken into the wrong store and left without taking anything,” he said.

“The thieves had better luck on their second attempt as they forced open the roller door of the tobacco store and left with a doona cover filled with a large number of cigarettes.”

Police have released CCTV footage and images taken from the two stores in an effort to identify the men they believe can assist their investigation.

They were all wearing dark clothing, hooded

Graffiti machine scrubs up streets GRAFFITI vandals beware: A purpose built graffiti removal vehicle is about to tackle your handiwork in Frankston.

The vehicle and associated clean-up kits are part of the Langwarrin graffiti response and prevention program unveiled last week by mayor Cr Sandra Mayer and Dunkley MP Bruce Billson.

Under the $88,000 program, service clubs and property owners will partner with the council in applying an anti-graffiti sealant to their walls so that, if they are vandalised, the mess is easy to remove.

The ute, fitted out with compressors and other apparatus, is a much-needed addition to Frankston and especially Langwarrin, where graffiti is an ongoing and costly problem, they said.

Already this financial year, Frankston Council has removed almost 30,000 square metres of graffiti on 1887 different jobs - with an estimate of 40,000 square metres for the full year.

Over the past nine months, it has averaged about 210 reports of graffiti per month.

“With more CCTV and lighting, the increased focus on graffiti removal will make our streets safer and more welcoming and vibrant,” Mr Billson said.

The council’s ‘One Stop Squad’ will use the vehicle to carry out a daily program of removal based on tip offs from the community. To report graffiti call the council’s Graffiti Hotline on 1800 66 82 47.

Raid finds guns, drugs FRANKSTON police found firearms, explosives equipment, stolen property and drugs during a raid on a Frankston North house last week.

Detective Sergeant Peter Morris said a 37-yearold man had been charged with being a prohibited person possessing firearms and a detonator, as well as having stolen property and drug offences.

The firearms included a handgun, two shotguns and a rifle.

He has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrate’s Court on 5 August.

Beach buddies: Frankston Beach Patrol members Jenny Smith, left, Gary Leary, John Billing, Michael “Tiny” Bowkett clean up.

Patrol aims to keep beach clean FRANKSTON 3199 Beach Patrol members aim to keep beaches and the foreshore free of litter and raise people’s awareness of this growing problem. Educating the public about proper rubbish disposal is the key.

So says Beach Patrol Australia manager John Billing who wants to involve the community via local groups, such as 3199 Frankston Beach Patrol.

Starting in 2009 with the 3206 Middle Park group, Beach Patrol Australia has grown into a chain of volunteer community groups defined by post code, suburb, and t-shirt colour. For example, 3199 Frankston Beach Patrol wears yellow.

By the end of last year, 14 groups were covering about 30 km of beach across the top of Port Phillip Bay with about 1000 volunteers giving an hour of their time per month.

3199 Frankston Beach Patrol began in March to promote litter awareness and make Frankston beach a cleaner

and safer environment for local residents, visitors and wildlife. This includes the recently discovered Burrunan dolphin, which is unique to the bay and Gippsland lakes.

Sponsors are urged to get involved. They will receive recognition for their support via social media and promotional resources as well as in knowing they are helping a growing team of volunteers keep beaches free of rubbish.

So far, a sharps container has been donated by Sharps, Frankston, and a first-aid kit by Frankston City Council.

Other items needed are t-shirts, hats, gloves, Enviro shopping bags, litter pickers, scales to weigh and record the litter, business cards, flyers, signs, and sun screen.

Visit 3199@beachpatrol.com.au for sponsorship and donation inquires.

Club fears end of track Slow internet costs companies after council ends lease Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Continued from Page 1 Mrs Lloyd, whose husband and son regularly use the track, said many families will not be able to afford to pay higher fees to ride at Seaford. She also believes council may “kick out” the club from the premises despite decades of hard work and personal financial contributions by volunteers.

An annual membership for families currently costs $100 per year plus $10$25 per day to ride at the track.

“The environment there is fantastic.

I’ve got a three and a ten year old and they love it even just to go down and watch.”

Mrs Lloyd said the club is self-sufficient and not reliant on council funding.

“The response to the petition has been really supportive. Everyone just wants that club reopened under the volunteer scheme … most of them are families who ride together.”

Mrs Lloyd said the track was opened in 1980 and she fears some motocross riders will take to public parks and streets if they are unable to afford to ride at the Seaford venue.

In its statement Frankston Council said Motorcycling Victoria usually oversee event and competition venues but have agreed “to work with Council to ensure the track meets the Frankston community’s recreational needs and all safety standards”.

A transitional committee, chaired

by Cr Aitken, including Cr Colin Hampton, a MV representative, council officers and motorcycling industry experts will be established to discuss

Locked up: Frankston City Motorcycle Park closed until further notice.

the long-term future of the motorcycle park.

“Frankston Council is dedicated to ensuring and maintaining that its recreational facilities are safe in accordance with regulatory standards,” Cr Aitken said.

Council hoped the track can be reopened soon.

Frankston City Motorcycle Club president Ralph Ridley said the club has been “open and transparent” with council and has met with councillors and officers to discuss the future of the track.

“First and foremost it’s a massive tragedy and a loss to family, friends and everyone down there ... and it’s affected everyone,” he said.

WorkSafe investigated the fatal collision but passed the investigation to police since the track is on public land.

The Times understands the police investigation has not concluded. Investigating officers were unavailable to give an update before publication.

FRANKSTON companies are at a competitive disadvantage and are losing money due to slow internet speeds according to a new survey commissioned by Frankston, Kingston and Dandenong councils.

North Melbourne-based research firm Geografia surveyed 322 businesses across the south east region and found delays in rolling out the national broadband network (NBN) cost the region $8.4 million per year.

Geografia also estimated more than 1000 jobs could be created if businesses are connected to world-class high-speed internet services.

The Need for High Speed Broadband in SE Melbourne’s Industrial Precincts report calls on the federal government to make business connections to the NBN a priority.

The report stated: “There are companies in SE Melbourne who are at the forefront of innovation in their respective industries. However, they are currently constrained by the speed and capacity of the telecommunications infrastructure and the outdated exchanges. The current NBN rollout has focused on connection to residential areas rather than business premises”.

Frankston councillors voted unanimously at last month’s council meeting to write to Federal Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Small Business Minister Bruce Billson seeking an update on the NBN roll out.

Council will lobby the federal Coa-

lition government to install the NBN “with an emphasis on commercial, industrial, health and education precincts”.

The rollout of $41 billion NBN has been hindered by political bickering and on the ground contract delays.

Roll out targets were not met when the federal Labor government was in power and the federal Coalition gov-

ernment controversially scrapped Labor’s initial plan to have all premises connected at faster fibre to the premises (FTTP) speeds.

Mr Billson said “Labor’s predicted targets for our community and many others was an inaccurate work of fiction”.

“Since coming to government, the NBN rollout within Dunkley has been rolled out sooner and with less cost to the taxpayer. These gains will accelerate under our approach to use a mix of technologies best suited to the circumstances of the area … parts of Langwarrin, Karingal and Frankston have been connected. Work is underway to further bring the rollout to areas of Mount Eliza and Frankston South.”

The member for Dunkley said the NBN is expected to reach one-inthree Australians by mid-2016.

“I look forward to receiving a letter from the Frankston City Council and furthermore look forward to working for my community to ensure that the needs and expectations of homes and businesses are achieved.”

The Coalition opted for fibre to the node (FTTN) connections, using hubs on every street rather than direct fibre connections to every home and business, which are quicker to install but deliver slower internet speeds than the FTTP option.

The Geografia report notes slower FTTN connections may not be sufficient for some businesses.

“If this [FTTN] policy is to persist, roll out models successfully employed in the US and UK may be used to orchestrate the upgrade of FTTN to FTTP,” the report stated.

On the fly: The Frankston Arts Centre fly tower had stripes on its exterior before a repaint job removed the stripes. Picture: Gary Sissons

Cost factor in arts paint job FRANKSTON Council decided against following an architect’s recommended colour scheme when repainting the outside of Frankston Arts centre because it was too costly.

The $18.5 million arts centre in Davey St, built 20 years ago to a design by renowned architect Daryl Jackson, was leaking and needed a coat of paint and council sought an opinion from his company before proceeding with the recent repaint.

“Options provided [were] too expensive and an alternative proposal was sought,” the mayor, Cr Sandra Mayer, said.

“Councillors decided to go ahead with the current colour as a preparatory coat to [a] final solution.”

Cr Mayer’s comments follow criticism of the new colour scheme which covers Jackson’s original stripes on the arts centre’s prominent fly tower.

Gail Dudeck, one of the many art lovers who originally campaigned for the city to have an arts centre, sees the latest colour scheme as being an “idiot putty colour” (‘Art centre’s paint job ignores big attraction’, The Times 27/4/15).

She thinks Jackson would be “offended if he saw our paltry effort”.

Ms Dudeck says the freshly painted front of the arts centre in Davey St is “stunning” and the library forecourt “a delight with the mural”.

“But the tower, the one thing that shouts here I am, I am your arts centre, has not got its orange stripe around it.

“Nothing can excuse the fact that it looks like an undercoat and gives a message of not caring.

It is an unfinished job.”

Cr Mayer said council was working with another architect to “refresh the entire precinct.

“We hope to do this all this financial year,” she said.

LETTERS Need for signs

As God intended: A nude man walked along Cranbourne Rd on Friday afternoon and passed by the Frankston Church of Christ on the path to his final destination. Picture: Yanni

The taxi rank at Frankston station is very confusing. There is no taxi rank sign or seats especially for taxi passengers to wait on. There are several seats near the start of the rank, but often people just sit there and watch the world go by.

Taxi drivers say those using the seats are occasionally moved on by police.

It’s all very confusing for a visitor to Frankston who arrives by public transport.

The existing “to the beach” sign needs a further sign directing visitors to travel along Wells St which eventually runs straight ahead on to the beach.

The council should try harder to make the taxi rank area more appealing to visitors.

The nude dude did not appear agitated as he took a solo brisk naked walk at 2.50pm on Thursday (30 April).

The Times contacted police late on Friday to ask whether the reason behind the naked walk had been investigated but there were apparently no complaints lodged with police.

Anyone with further information about this naked man of mystery can contact The Times at team@ baysidenews.com.au or 03 5973 6424.

Please: no bum steers.

Lion clears the air An apology. The article ‘Emma seeks national award’ (The News 28/4/15), contained a misleading statement.

Emma Wiggins was sponsored by the Lions Club of Mt Eliza, not Mornington Lions Club, and is its candidate in the national finals. At no time was any misinformation intentional or any due credit denied.

Eric Morse, Mornington Lions

Need steady ferry Today saw us again with ferry cancellations with wind gusts of around 18 knots (base speed of 11 knots). Fishing boats are on the bay, so the conditions can’t be too bad. Yet again, the boat which keeps costing the taxpayer 500,000 a year cannot come out of its hidey hole.

Someone gets 500,000 a year to run

a service. There have been more than 70 cancellations this year.

Public Transport Victoria has stopped answering emails, which is an easy solution. So did the Ombudsman.

From the minister’s office all we hear is “I understand your frustration”, but certainly no follow up or a plan of action, from anyone.

We cannot call the PTV complaint line as our privacy is not guaranteed.

Nobody so far has responded with

a clear plan of how to supervise the yearly investment of 500,000 to get a boat into the water. My suspicion is that PTV wants to wait this one out until 2017, when the current ferry contract comes up for renewal.

We are waiting for spare parts coming from Sweden to get the old grandmother of all ferries, the George Bass, back into the water. Sweden is supposedly the only nation on the planet providing those spare parts.

The only person to keep assisting us is Hastings MP Neale Burgess.

A good read Congratulations on the edition covering Anzac and World War II stories from a local perspective.

I think your paper is generally terrific and love your coverage of local politics, but this latest edition, with articles by Peter McCullough had me sitting at the kitchen table for over an hour. Congrats to all concerned.

Boxer statue on its way AFTER four years of planning and fund-raising the Frankston RSL’s Johnny Famechon statue project is getting closer to reality.

Stephen Glassborow will soon finish sculpting the 2.1 metre clay model and is getting ready to make the mould for the 600kg bronze pour.

When complete the statue will look exactly like the 2.1 metre clay model.

Former triple world boxing champion Jeff Fenech, Famechon and son Paul, and statue coordinator Gary Luscombe, met at the artist’s studio last week to see how things were progressing.

Famechon was world WBC featherweight champion 1969-70 and Fenech WBC featherweight champion 1988-89.

After the pour the statue will be taken to Ballam Park and then unveiled.

Those wanting to sponsor or donate should visit johnnyfamechonstatue. com or see the Facebook page Johnny Famechon statue project.

Others may want to support the project by buying limited edition memorabilia, or sponsoring one of 68 plaques to be set into the base of the statue. These will serve as a permanent record of his bouts, recording the date, venue, result and name of each of his opponents.

Sponsors names will be recorded in recognition of their support. To sponsor a plaque email garyluscombe@ hotmail.com It is hoped Fenech will be guest speaker at a fundraising event at Frankston RSL towards the end of the year.

He has just been awarded the title of ‘WBC greatest featherweight boxer of the past 30 years’ and his image will be used to promote WBC featherweight title bouts.

Good likeness: Jeff Fenech, Johnny Famechon and son Paul Famechon inspect the statue at sculptor Stephen Glassborow’s studio.

Partners in crime prevention: Police discuss public safety at Frankston train station with Police Minister Wade Noonan, centre, and Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke, right.

Picture: Yanni

Police push on crime LAW and order was in the spotlight last Thursday when Police Minister Wade Noonan visited Frankston train station to thank police for their work to keep commuters and passerbys safe.

Crime statistics show an 18 per cent fall in disorderly and offensive conduct and a 15 per drop in weapons offences last year.

“The decrease in public order and security offences reflects the hard work carried out by police in the Frankston area in detecting and preventing these types of crimes,” Mr Noonan said.

Labor won government at November’s state election so the majority of the fall in crime in 2014 occurred under the previous Coalition government.

Protective services officers (PSOs)

were introduced by the former Napthine government at Frankston train station in August 2013.

Police patrolled Frankston beaches over the summer months to combat theft and anti-social behaviour.

A police “brawler van” is also now regularly on standby near pubs and clubs to help stop drug and alcoholfuelled fights in Frankston.

“Frankston police have responded to community safety issues with several initiatives aimed at problem behaviours where they occur most,” Mr Noonan said.

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said the $50 million revamp of the Frankston train station precinct and Young St will “ensure all community members feel safe”.

“The precinct is the heart of the Frankston community and we want it to be a state-of-the-art transport hub, encouraging jobs and bringing Chisholm TAFE closer to the community,” he said.

Earlier this year, Frankston police inspector Tony Silva told The Times (‘City’s reputations strains family relations’, The Times 2/3/15) there could be a perception that Frankston train station is a dangerous place but crime data showed offences on the Frankston line “is not disproportionate to reported offending on other lines”.

“From what we can see, Frankston is no more prone to criminal activity than any other area of the transport network.”

DERYH PHGLDQ The vendors of this property at 533 Nepean Highway, Frankston, have more than a million reasons to thank eview Frankstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Derek Lea for his local market knowledge.

Derekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation, to let the market determine their propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real value by way of an auction, saw them realise $1,283,000 - a far cry from the suburbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s median price of $370,000, and well above even the Frankston South median of $560,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With major infrastructure under way, Frankston is set to boom and the value

here was all about the location - a 1051m2 block meters to the foreshore, boardwalks, CBD, restaurants and shopping centres,â&#x20AC;? Derek said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that the existing four bedroom home was at the rear of the site added even more potential for buyers who could either elect to leave the house and build a new one in the front, or demolish the lot with the potential to possibly build four units (STCA).â&#x20AC;?

The worth of Derekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendation to go to auction was evidenced by buyer interest generated from day one.

eview.com.au

In all 25 groups inspected the property and the auction was attended by about 40 people.

FRQĂ&#x20AC;GHQW WKDW WKH FRPSHWLWLRQ RI DQ auction would see a great result for the vendor.â&#x20AC;?

The opening bid of $950,000 was almost triple the median price and, ultimately, three bidders competed for the property.

Eview Principal, Manos Findikakis, said that in the current very active market, auctions were becoming increasingly popular, but cautioned that every property is different.

Derek said that in the current market thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real truth in the old adage that when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking real estate, adding potential to the mix is a recipe for success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing Frankstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential, and KDYLQJ LGHQWLĂ&#x20AC;HG WKH EORFNV ZH ZHUH

How to avoid the eight most common landlord traps Problematic tenants, high loan repayments and persistent maintenance problems can make landlords feel residential investments are for suckers.

Houses however, are among the most popular and effective ways to build long-term wealth, without the wild swings share market investors experienced.

Always look at taking a longterm view.

1. Tenant Selection: Poor tenant selection is a trap. You need to screen prospective tenants carefully.

A professional property manager will be able to help with this.

They have access to default registers that list tenants who have caused past problems. It is important to check and phone all the referees.

2. Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rent:? 'LIĂ&#x20AC; FXOW tenants arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always those who trash your property. Those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay the rent or continually slip behind in payments can be just as painful.

If a tenant is late in paying rent, you must take action immediately. This serves two purposes.

First, it ensures that the outstanding rent is followed up and hopefully collected as soon as possible. It also communicates to the tenant that if they are late in paying, there will be immedi-

ate action taken.

3. No Insurance: A landlord insurance policy eliminates unnecessary risk and potentially expensive payouts. Landlord insurance provides a safety net and peace of mind. It can provide you with cover against malicious and accidental damage and can also protect you from loss of rental income as a result of a tenant absconding or damaging a property and leaving it unable to be rented while repairs are made.

4. Over committing: Many property investors use negative gearing to get a nice tax refund but should remember they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get all their expenses back. With rental income yields below home loan interest rates (although yields have been increasing with the latest reductions in interest rates), investors need to ensure they have the spare cash to cover not only the interest cost differential but also such expenses as council rates, land tax, water rates, maintenance costs and management fees.

so can be a legal liability risk. If a maintenance issue arises and \RX DUH VORZ WR Ă&#x20AC; [ LW \RX PD\ EH held legally liable if your tenant injures themselves. Be proactive with maintenance. Regular routine inspections will highlight areas that need attention.

consequences. If a tenant is causing damage to a property, the damage may go unnoticed DQG EH FRVWO\ WR Ă&#x20AC; [ ODWHU RQ Second, if maintenance issues RFFXU DQG DUH QRW Ă&#x20AC; [HG OHJDO liability issues may arise for the landlord.

6. Tenants as friends: Ideally the relationship between landlord and tenant should be at armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length. Too close a relationship FDQ OHDG WR GLIĂ&#x20AC; FXOWLHV GRZQ the track, especially in situations where the parties have a falling out. It is best to have a professional property manager.

&DQ \RX Ă&#x20AC; [ LW": When maintenance or repairs are required, act as quickly as possible. Once you are alerted to maintenance issues, it is your responsibility to act or authorise your property manager to do so. Failure to do

7. No inspections: Conducting regular routine inspections and documenting the information alleviates possible problems.

Many landlords who self-manage donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t conduct regular inspections. This can have two

8. Self-managing: People who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time, the knowledge or an interest in property management can get burned if they try to be their own property manager. Many landlords donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to respond to maintenance requests or conduct regular inspections to address potential liabilities. While it can be tempting to save a small percentage of rental income by self-managing your property, the EHQHĂ&#x20AC; WV RI D SURSHUW\ PDQDJHU outweigh costs.

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY Frankston Times 4 May 2015

PAGE 29

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Balmoral house open to the public Compiled by Melissa Walsh IN our report of the Langwarrin concert we omitted to state that Mr Reid contributed two songs in well balanced style. *** A PALTRY robbery was perpetrated some time on Saturday night last, at the Bay View Hotel, when the gas slot in the billiard room was broken open, and the contents, amounting to about 22/ were abstracted. *** THE secretary of the Frankston Football Club acknowledges with thanks the following donations —-Mr Hunt £2 2s, Dr Maxwell £1 1s, Mrs Jacobs 10s 6d, Mr S. Lawrey 10 6d. Collected

by Mr J. Lambert—£1 15s 9d. *** TENDERS will be received until Thursday, 13th May, by the Department of Public Works for repairs to the jetty and approach at Portsea, and also repairs to jetty at Frankston, and up to the 20th May for additions to jetty at Stony Point. *** WE have been requested to intimate that owing to all the tickets not being yet disposed of for the raffle for the Eiderdown Quilt in aid of the Belgian Fund the drawing has been postponed till Saturday 12th June. *** MR A. S. Krouse has been appointed local agent at Tyabb for Nobel-

Glasgow Explosives for land clearing and subsoiling, and will be pleased to afford all information in connection with the working of the explosive. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, and will offer on behalf of Mr H. Shepherd, medium draught mare, and on account of Mr Campbell, dray and harness, wire netting, potatoes, bacon and ducks. *** MR J. E. Jones, shire secretary, was again in his place at the council meeting on Thursday, after having spent an enjoyable three weeks’ holiday in Tasmania.

In our advertising columns will be found the days on each week in which he will visit the different centres in the shire for collection of rates and other money due. *** A SCRATCH match between Somerville and Tyabb was played on the ground of the former, which resulted in a win for the locals by 45 points to 25 points.

The goal kickers for Somerville were Lewis 3, Dickson 1, Lang 2.

Tyabb—Longmuir 2, Lonsdale 1. Best players for Somerville were, Dickson, Woollard, Barber, Lewis. Percy Thornell, and L. Gregory. The best for Tyabb were, Lonsdale, Baker, Longmuir, Slocombe Hodgins, and Robinson. *** AT Thursday’s meeting of the

Frankston and Hastings Shire Council, the request of the Frankston Gas Co to support them in their application to the Governor-in-Council for an order to permit them to install an electric light throughout the Shire was favorably considered, and a representative of the company will visit the different centres shortly, with a view of seeing what support they are likely to receive from the residents. *** BALMORAL House, Frankston, will be the scene of festivity and gaiety this (Saturday) evening, as the proprietress intends throwing open the grounds to the public and having a Continental Concert.

A good programme will be given, beside side-shows. Refreshments will also be provided. The proceeds are to be devoted to the Belgian fund. One shilling will be charged for admission and as the object is a worthy one there will doubtless be a good attendance. *** THE hon. treasurer of the Frankston Belgian Relief Fund (Dr Plowman) desires to acknowledge from the Frankston Ladies Collecting Committee the receipt of the sum of £15 as a first contribution. This handsome addition to the general fund will be probably supplemented by a donation every month, as we understand the ladies are continuing their collecting work with undiminished energy. *** AN accident happened to J. and H.

Cottier and J. Mills on Sunday evening which fortunately resulted in nothing more than a few bruises and a severe shaking. It appears that the party had been to Mornington, and on their return as they were driving down the street in Frankston the animal suddenly commenced to kick and plunge violently, and before long H.Cottier and Mills were thrown out.

J. Cottier, who was driving, held on a little longer, but he ultimately met the same fate. The horse continued kicking and after smashing the jinker pretty considerably, freed itself from the shafts, and departed. *** THREE times matches have been played on the Frankston courts lately, the locals coming out on top on two occasions and losing the last match by five points. A good deal of interest has been taken and a very pleasant time spent, the visitors expressing the hope that it will not be long before again trying conclusions.

In the first match (gents doubles), which was played on Saturday, 24th April, the locals had an easy win. Dr Maxwell, Messrs Utber, Jackson and Rogers played for Frankston.

On Monday, April 26th, eight players journeyed from Caulfieid which resulted in another win for Frankston, the final scores being 80 points to 60. The players for this match were Misses Gregory, Young and Reynolds, and Messrs Utber, Cummins, Rogers and Jackson.

Last Saturday, May lst, the locals

were at home to four players from the Government Audit Office, Melbourne.

The final scores were 48 points to 43, the visitors proving their superiority by a few games.

Messrs Watson, Utber, Rogers, Wheaten and Dr Maxwell played for Frankston. Afternoon tea was much appreciated and enjoyed by visitors and players, being provided by the ladies of the local club. The next match is to take place on June 7th at the Frankston courts. *** THE Life of a Bush Nurse. The testimony from high officers in the Army Medical Corps at the front makes it clear that in personality, as well as in training, the Australian nurse is above the average.

But all the capable and all the brave nurses have not left these shores. One particularly able branch of the nursing profession, that is, the Australian Bush Nurses, is described in the May issue of ‘Everylady’s Journal’, just to hand, and the tale arouses one’s admiration for this noble band of women workers.

The position of bush nurse is one which has its hardships, and even its perils, but judging from the account in ‘Everylady’s Journal’ it is one which has its glorious compensations, and its humours as well as its sorrows.

The article is illustrated with a number of very fine photographs, and brightened with many capital stories.

Healthy Living

Help for painful feet and legs OUR feet are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our physical activities, so it’s no wonder problems and pain are common. What many people aren’t aware of is that our feet can affect and cause problems in the rest of our bodies including ankles, knees, hips and backs. Bad foot posture can continually pull our bodies out of alignment, so any foot or leg pain should not be ignored.

Problems left untreated almost always get worse but there is often a simple solution, if you get the correct diagnosis and treatment.

Experienced Musculoskeletal Podiatrist Dr. David Kavanagh, from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics says that people often endure painful conditions for far too long, most of which can be easily overcome.

“Even patients who’ve been told there is no solution or that surgery and medications are their only options, we are now able to treat with great success,” says Dr. Kavanagh. “I know what it’s like to suffer foot and leg pain but you don’t have to put up with it. With the right diagnosis and treatment from an experienced practitioner who addresses the cause of the problem and not just the symptoms, you can achieve successful long-term outcomes.”

If you suffer from heel or arch pain, ankle, shin or Achilles concerns, keen pain, bunions,

A Grain of Salt THERE has to be question marks over our man Dan. A public holiday on Grand Final eve (unnecessary/ silly) was surely the “good bloke” syndrome at play, likewise bringing forward the non-smoking outside schools, government offices and hospitals to April when already set down for July? A man chasing affection from whom he considers to represent the majority, or an honest Joe? Not forgetting the East West “mandate” claim with most voters casting for a party’s policies or against Denis Napthine. We move on, or underground Swanston Street.

When I say “we” I mean “they”.

Anyone south of Moorabbin, at this stage anyway, do not exist. Don’t forget those firefighters Danny boy, it’s not just fires they can put out.

Nice glasses. *** Thank God for football and Collingwood’s temporary good form. When the Canberra crooks took their 6-week break we welcomed it. “A double treat” we thought. Alas no.

There was Tony doing his best to frighten us daily in the guise of concern, for us; wars and spies stuff; Anzac week full on; police carrying guns, the ever increasing possibility of danger, helicopters hovering overhead. I did one of my famous surveys: “Why are we sending another 300 soldiers to train untrainable Arabian Nights? Nobody’s nose knows?” Popular response -“Piss off!” Charming. Mostly Essendon, Carlton or Hawthorn supporters? I never thought I’d appreciate Midsomer Murders. *** Anyone can write. Practice makes perfect, right? True up to a point.

Many thousands of books out there, mostly rubbish, thus establishing

anyone can indeed write but very few can be good writers. Anyone can paint, anyone can act? Certain famous celebrities stage and screen are not necessarily good at anything, despite their status. Yoko Ono, Lee Marvin singing? Shaun Micallef, a brilliant satirist, writer, and now a member of Creative Victoria is an actor; not necessarily a good actor; maybe a good performer? Magpie Nathan Buckley knows his football, speaks well, a coach, but a good coach? As Clint says “A man’s got to know his limitations”.

Me? I was a good table tennis player, in E Grade, VTTA, 1970s. *** Crooks? They’re never far away on any given subject. Yes, even on genital activities, the last line of defence on unmentionables; probably a good thing considering it’s firmly on the minds of many men day and night. The AMI (Advanced Medical Institute) were supposedly specialists in erectile dysfunction charging some $4,500 for treatment with the promise of a cure? I was lucky. I held off forking out until I could find a suitable courageous partner.

I failed, again, much like the AMI lot. Ordered to pay compensation.

And my $4500? Almost gone, on antidepressants and cigarettes. *** In this age of metadata we must be ever vigilant. My friends at ASIO are hovering in Canberra day and night poring over every word, more likely keywords, and computerised pop-ups. Pondering whether or not to send in those super-efficient Commonwealth Police to demand my computer in a 3am raid, check for porn pictures, anti-Australian sentiment, left wing bias. Fortunately I’ve taken a strong stand on porn.

I cut it out completely four days ago. In its place I draw pictures, with crayons. *** It depends on my particular funny bone. Nothing can give a blanket satisfaction to all. Some understand too little, some too much. Some will see an actor in a movie and he’s damned for life. Other literally judge a book by its cover; likewise assess a person by the style of dress.

I was particularly amused by the lady who wrote “I’ll never shop at Woolworths again” referring to the use of Anzac marketing, seemingly oblivious to our governments, the RSL, Channel 9, the newspapers and numerous others who have done the same thing increasingly over the past 10 years building to a crescendo on this 100 year anniversary. Who decides where the line is drawn? *** I for one will not have a bad word said against the lovelies at Centrelink. Yes, sometimes referred to as Gestapo-land, but let’s not blame the lovely skeleton staffers.

A service for older Australians!

Along comes a text via your mobile telephone to contact them on any changed circumstances; important things like winning $15 at the races despite no effect on your pension.

Your choices are clear: ring them or go to Centrelink or risk your pension stopping. Telephone, no problem. Answer a series of questions getting to the point of being told “a 50 minute wait”. So? You’ve got something better to do? Travel to Centrelink by car at a cost in excess of the $15, or bus if you have a 4 hour “nothing on” space in your day, wait another hour (if you’re lucky), and clear the matter

TWO OF AUSTRALIA’S FINEST TRIBUTE SHOWS,

COME TOGETHER IN ONE NIGHT Rocking the Longbeach RSL - Chelsea

Friday May 15th

By Cliff Ellen up. True, but they are so nice about it. Our government at work - caring for we older Australians. *** My years as an actor, well, a wouldbe actor, taught me how to appreciate creativity in its purest form, which is why I so admire our Prime Minister’s handling of the royal commission into union corruption headed by two of his most reliable followers with already two extensions and currently set for the end of this year. It’s not finished yet, the creative process takes time and

millions of dollars. Expect the final damning report some six months before the next election. *** Royal Military College, Duntroon, where leaders are made; or indoctrinated, depending on your point of view...“It’s coming” mumbled the drunkard sailor to his ladyfriend, in a state of glorious anticipation; obviously referring to Joe’s 2015 May budget...Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Frog day afternoon: painting myself into a corner

By Stuart McCullough I HAVE no idea what we were thinking. Neither of us had started the day declaring that we needed to find and purchase the worst piece of art in the known universe. Particularly one that featured as its subject that most mysterious and mythical of creatures: the frog. But by the time the sun had been swallowed by the earth, we had done exactly that. I can only attribute our decision to part with an amount of money in exchange for a painting that neither of us liked to look at, much less wanted to own, as being the result of panic on my part.

I’m not even sure of its official title. But if I had to guess, I’d say it was something along the lines of Frog Conference, as it features four amphibians sitting on lily pads in a swamp, presumably discussing matters of importance such as the impact of the high Australian dollar on the export market or, possibly, whether anyone from Team Joel has a cinder’s chance in hell of winning The Voice.

Some works of art are hypnotic; they make it almost impossible to look away. This one defied convention and seemed to actively spurn eye contact.

How we became the owners of this abomination says a lot about how eager we are not to disappoint others. We were driving through the countryside when we spotted a small bluestone building promising both “art” and “craft”. This, as things transpired, was putting things far too highly. However, it’s true to say that a store of this kind will rarely take an entirely honest approach to its contents. It’s enough to say that you never see shops offering “bad pottery” or “dud paintings”.

The warning signs were obvious, even if the one at the front of the shop was not. As we entered, the guy behind the counter looked surprised if not a little alarmed to see us. It was immediately apparent that we were

the first people to step inside for quite some time. A small stereo sat on the counter and the sounds of Pour Some Sugar On Me by pop-metal poodles Def Leppard trickled out. The walls were lined with shelves and gave you

the sense that the room was starting to close in on itself. Every available surface was covered with objects, all of which were equally hideous to the eye.

There were pottery frogs of every conceivable shape, size and dimension. It was as if we had stumbled into some kind of small-town cult where amphibians were regarded as deities to be worshipped. And, of course, turned into pottery figurines that sold for $12 a pop.

Having been initially alarmed at our appearance, the gentleman at the front counter had now decided to talk up the place, asking us what we thought.

A thousand descriptors sprang to mind, but the only one to escape my lips was, “It’s lovely”. A sign hanging from one of the shelves declared that if you break something, you’ve bought it. For a moment I thought this was an invitation. Perhaps others had been so outraged by mediocre ceramic amphibians that they were unable to contain their anger, smashing pottery frogs to spare others from a fate worse than Def Leppard before being hauled away.

He began to follow us as we walked through the store. Whether he had us pegged as potential shoplifters or simply hadn’t seen other people in such a long time and had forgotten how to interact, I couldn’t say. Whatever the reason, it created a pressure-cooker environment, one in which we felt compelled to do anything other than leave empty-handed.

Pottery was clearly out of the question – what possible use could I have for a ceramic frog? Whereas a painting of several frogs hanging out and discussing the weather is something

you can use every day. After a couple of laps to try and lose the shop assistant, we settled for a painting. To suggest that it was possibly the best of a bad bunch doesn’t really do it justice.

I was probably holding it, thinking to myself how extremely vulgar and – to be frank – incredibly brown the piece was when the man who ran the store asked whether he should run it through the register.

For a moment, I couldn’t speak.

Perhaps there was a frog in my throat.

Given the circumstances, it would be no surprise if one of those little beggars had managed to slip in and take up residence in my oesophagus.

“Thanks,” was all I managed to utter.

Like lightning, the man had whipped the painting out of my hands and was wiping away the cobwebs from the register. It was too late; I was stuck.

When we got home a few days later, Frog Conference was given pride of place. Which, in our house, just so happens to under the bed along with the emergency toolkit, some old sneakers and the free weights I no longer use. It was by chance that I stumbled across it a few days ago. It remains as stubbornly ugly as the day we first bought it. Oscar Wilde once wrote that “all art is quite useless”. I suspect he wrote those words while staring at a print of Frog Conference and listening to Pour Some Sugar On Me. I think he had a point. I have no idea what to do with the thing. My fear is that, some time in the future, I will overlook someone’s birthday and need a gift at short notice.

Should I ever give you a painting of a bunch of frogs, let me simply say in advance: better you than me. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Pythons’ run continues PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt PINES remains undefeated at the top of the Peninsula Division ladder after beating Edithvale-Aspendale in a tight contest on Saturday.

The Pythons have now won four of four matches, however, are yet to play the big three in Mt Eliza, Frankston YCW and Mornington.

The true test of this football team will come when it tackles the powerhouse sides of the competition.

The Pythons tackle Mornington this weekend and follow up with the Stonecats the week after. Only then will we know how much this side has improved.

On Saturday, the Pythons trailed at half time by three points before booting five goals to three after the main change to record a 12.16 (88) to 11.7 (73) victory.

Taylor Strachan was a stand out performer for the Pythons with two goals and some great work around the ground while Aaron Edwards and former Dromana onballer Paul McLeanWilson also kicked a couple.

Mark Mullins and Steve Mannix flew the flag for the Eagles while Matt Clark was solid again with two goals.

Langwarrin desperately needed to win after a poor showing against Pines and drawing a game they should have won against Edithvale last week.

On Saturday the Kangas were up against Bonbeach and after a five goal to one first quarter, they were in control from that point.

The final margin was 39 points, 16.8 (104) to 10.5 (65).

Sean Herdman was superb in attack with five goals while Gerard Brown and Kieran Albanese booted three each. Albanese has been on the brink of senior selection for two seasons, however, needed to develop a defensive side to his game. He achieved that on Saturday, which would have pleased coach Gavin Artico.

Jayden Grose was back to his brilliant best for the Roos and Ricki Johnston continues arguably his best season. Shane Paterson is also starting to get into the groove after a lay-off.

In sad news for the Kangas, multiple B&F winner Daniel ‘Bluey’ Wehner has retired. Wehner played his 150th

Flying high: Pines grabbed a 15 point victory over Edithvale-Aspendale.

game against Edithvale. At training through the week leading up to Saturday’s game, he received a corked thigh. The cork caused Acute Compartment Syndrome, which is where a vessel ruptures and bleeds in a small space, causing enormous pressure and even damaging/killing muscle in some instances. He was rushed to hospital and his wound was ‘slashed’ to eliminate the pressure.

Check out the Toe Punt Facebook Page to see the photographs.

Owen Hulett booted a couple of goals and worked tirelessly for the Sharks and Gary Carpenter and Jackson Casey were superb also.

Seaford is in big, big trouble.

On Saturday the Tigers went in as favourites against Chelsea but were restricted to just five goals and were smashed.

Despite suffering from a broken finger, Gulls’ coach Brent Guerra played and led the charge.

The Gulls booted five goals to zip in the opening quarter and won 11.15 (81) to 5.14 (44).

Matty Baxter booted three and Ryan Stewart and Curtis Bywater two each for the Gulls while Todd Gardiner and Rory Gregg dominated in the middle and around the ground.

Rourke Fischer was again Seaford’s best. Surely he’ll be at Collingwood in the VFL in the coming weeks. He’ll be a massive loss to Seaford though.

Dean Williamson also flew the flag for the Tigers yet again and Ben Crowe and Chris Fortnam just rackedup touches.

The Tigers get enough of the footy but they just don’t have those forward targets. The struggle will continue.

Frankston YCW didn’t play on Satuirday but they will be without stars Ash Eames and Anthony Barry for a number of weeks.

Hillmen beat reigning premiers NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RED Hill have now knocked over the two grand final sides of last season after beating Sorrento on Saturday in Nepean Division.

The Hillmen now sit in fourth position on the ladder as one of four teams who have won three matches this season.

Rosebud, who has played five games, sits on top of the ladder while Rye, who has played four games, sits in second spot.

Hastings is the only undefeated team in the competition. It has won all three of its games.

On Saturday at David MacFarlane Reserve, Red Hill was wearing its white neutral colours.

At half time the Hillmen trailed by two points, however, booted four goals to two in the third quarter to open up a 14 point break.

The Hillmen peppered the goals in the final quarter too but inaccuracy (2.5 to 2.3) cost them an even more convincing win.

The final score was 10.13 (73) to 8.9 (57).

Small forward Jayden Pain was a menace for Sorrento, booting three goals, while key forwards Jarred Eames and Michael Chaplin booted two goals each.

The Sharks went into the game without coach Troy Schwarze, who is overseas for three weeks.

Paul Wintle and Michael Mock were outstanding for the Hillmen while

Seamus Thomson continued his outstanding season.

Myles Pitt, who is due to go overseas soon, booted three goals for the Sharks and worked tirelessly, while Jon Croad and Tyrren Head were also up and about.

Crib Point went into their match against Tyabb on Saturday without their coach. Duane Annable was at his sister’s wedding.

This meant that skipper Brad Arnold took the reigns. He would have been happy with the Pies’ four-quarter performance, booting 17.21 (123) to beat Tyabb 5.2 (32).

Luke Herrington was the key contributor in front of goals for the Pies with four goals while Matt Sloper, usually known for his defensive work, found himself forward and finished with three goals.

FRANKSTON VFL FOOTBALL CLUB ROUND 4 Sunday May 10 Vs Northern Blues

Matthew Wappett was also a handful for the Yabbies with three goals while Jon Flack booted two in his first game for the season.

Annable told the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that if his side could be “thereabouts” at the halfway mark of the season, he was confident that they could make a run for the finals.

“It is tough in a 16 round season to make a late run but I think given our poor pre-season with injuries to key players, they will be up and about in the second half of the season.

“I’d like to think that our best is still good enough to match it with the best in the competition,” said Annable.

Jake Anderson was Tyabb’s only multiple goal kicker while Justin Volk and James Cottrell collected the top votes.

Rye was made to work hard right to the final siren to shake off a persistent Frankston Bombers.

The Demons trailed at quarter time but hit back with a five goal second quarter to lead by eight points at the main break.

The Bombers regained the lead in the third term before Rye booted five goals to one in the last to win 15.13 (103) to 11.15 (81).

Andrew Dean booted four goals for the winners and Kris Bardon and Dean Millhouse booted a couple each.

Ryan Mullet was dominant for the Demons, while Adam Kirkwood and Nathan Henley also got plenty of the footy.

The Demons went into the game without ruckmen Simon Taylor and Rhett Sutton.

Rye coach Josh Moore’s three-quarter time speech got the hairs on the back of the neck standing on end.

It worked, they dominant the final 30 minutes of the match.

Devon Meadows’ coach Glenn Michie was left wondering what could have been after their 46 point thrashing at the hands of Rosebud.

After winning in round one and pushing Sorrento to the line two weeks ago, Michie had five players unavailable due to two of them going to a music festival, two overseas on holiday and one player at a wedding.

Regardless of that however, the side that ran out for the Panthers was more than capable of kicking at least one goal in the first half.

At half time, Rosebud led 7.9.51 to 0.2.2.

The Panthers outscored the Buds in the second half but still went down 13.14 (92) to 7.4 (46).

Phillip Raso, Gavin Kerr and Steve McInnes were the best for the Panthers while Rob Forrest and Chris Dew dominated for Rosebud.

Former Frankston Dolphins’ skipper Paul Kennedy also made his debut for the Buds on Saturday.

Hastings had 35 scoring shots to Dromana’s 20 on Saturday but only managed a 14.21 (105) to 12.8 (80) victory.

Luke Hewitt and Steve Robb starred for the Blues, along with Taylor Stratton, while Dan and Sam Guerts were very good for the Tigers. Sam Fowler also booted another four goals for Dromana.
