New deadline for basketball stadium lease

Crazy idea

DR Geoff Toogood has leaped in feet first with an initiative to encourage doctors to talk to each other about personal depression. The crazysocks4docs day trended on social media last Thursday 1 June. See story Page 6. Picture: Gary Sissons

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ANOTHER deadline has been handed to the Frankston Basketball & District Association to comply with council demands over a new lease for an expanded basketball stadium at Seaford. Frankston councillors behind closed doors after May’s public council meeting decided to give the FBDA until Tuesday 6 June “to respond to the final lease offer being made by council”. Frankston Council and the association have been locked in bitter arguments over terms for a proposed new lease as part of a $12.7 million upgrade of the stadium to include four new basketball courts and seating for spectators. Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial has accused the FDBA of “holding ratepayers to ransom” by “refusing a future council the opportunity to conduct and objective review of the rent payable”. Association president Gary Emery has said the FBDA fears council is trying to “take over” the running of the FDBA built stadium leased on council land. The association currently has nine years remaining on its lease at the stadium and does not want to sign any lease that includes a council review of the management and operations of the stadium. “The final lease proposal has been the result of discussions with the

FDBA, reflecting a fair and reasonable outcome for the sporting community and the ratepayers of Frankston,” Cr Cunial said in a statement. “Depending on the FDBA’s response, a further report will go to the 13 June council meeting. In the event of the FDBA not agreeing to these terms, council will then consider how to best proceed with building the project without the FDBA’s involvement.” FDBA president Gary Emery confirmed the association had received a letter from council about a new lease deadline, the latest in a series of final deadlines imposed by council during negotiations. “We intend to meet the deadline if possible,” Mr Emery said. Council initially committed $4 million of ratepayers’ money to the stadium upgrade alongside $2.5 million of state government money and $5.2 million of federal government money from taxpayers. The association was prepared to pitch in $1 million of members’ money to stage one of the stadium upgrade but council waived this offer after the FDBA said council was “double dipping” its members by also tripling annual rent to about $130,000. It is understood that the new lease offer would see the FDBA pay about $80,000 annually after the stadium expansion but a review of operations remains a sticking point.

Council revises press relations Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

The long walk: John Billing and Craig Thomson are ready to step out on The Great Mornington Peninsula Bush Walk and Habitat Corridor walk. Picture: Yanni

Walking on side of the wild A WEEK-LONG walk starting on World Environment Day (Monday 5 June) is promoting the retention of wildlife habitats in Frankston and across the Mornington Peninsula. The Great Mornington Peninsula Bush Walk and Habitat Corridor, hosted by the Australian Wildlife Protection Council, began at the Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve, Frankston and will continue to Mornington Peninsula National Park at Gunnamatta on Saturday 9 June. Tuesday’s walk is from Baxter Park, Frankston-Flinders Rd, to Mt Martha. On Wednesday, walkers start at The Briars, Mt Martha, and continue on to Dromana.

On Thursday they will start from Hillview community reserve, Boundary Rd, Dromana and continue on to Rosebud. There is no walk on the Friday, but on Saturday walkers will start at the Henry Wilson Rd wetlands, Rosebud, and continue to Gunnamatta. Protection council president Craig Thomson said that in 2010, when the Peninsula Link Freeway was started, many bushland reserves were bisected and habitat corridors lost. He said Melbourne Water’s proposed rezoning of the Herman St reserve, Rosebud, presented the group with an opportunity to reinstate part of the lost wildlife corridor.

AN amended communications policy that encourages council staff “to create, and maintain, positive working relationships with local media outlets” has been backed by a majority of councillors. The policy, proposed by Cr Kris Bolam, was approved by a 5-3 vote of councillors at council’s 23 May public meeting despite opposition from some councillors and mayor Cr Brian Cunial. Cr Cunial was adamant during the debate about improving relations with the media that he will choose who he speaks to despite being an official spokesperson for council as mayor. “I won’t sit down with Neil Walker, definitely,” Cr Cunial said. The mayor has asked for questions from The Times to be put in writing during his latest mayoral term and refers queries to the council’s media and communications department to respond. Previous mayors have talked to The Times when called with questions. Cr Cunial said he may meet with a Leader journalist when questioned by Cr Bolam about his dealings with local media outlets as mayor. Cr Glenn Aitken said during debate about the amended media policy that he believes an aggressive approach to the press is counter-productive. “I think if council even subliminally wants to have an adversarial position to

the press or a fearful position towards the press or a suspicious position towards the press, that augurs not well for any local council,” Cr Glenn Aitken said. “I believe that ... an honest, open and frank discussion with the press serves a good purpose for everybody instead of ducking and weaving. “That [ducking questions] certainly does any council at any time a great deal of harm.” Cr Cunial and council CEO Dennis Hovenden insisted council’s media policy “works extremely well” and “is not broken”. Crs Aitken, Bolam, Quinn McCormack, Lilian O’Connor and Steve Toms voted for the push to improve relations with the local media. Crs Cunial, Colin Hampton and Sandra Mayer voted against the move. “The press are not infallible,” Cr Hampton said. “No matter what you can say or do, they will write it the way they want to write it. They will cut the stories the way they want to cut them.” Council officers can only speak to the media with the permission of the CEO. Councillors, as elected representatives, are able to talk to journalists but “any statements must not bring council or the organisation into disrepute” according to the councillors’ code of conduct. The CEO is council’s spokesperson for operational aspects of council.

Reserve volunteers thanked by council Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FEARS over flora and fauna not being looked after at the Frankston Nature Conservation Reserve were aired at a Frankston Council public meeting on 22 May. Councillors, apart from Cr Steve Toms and the absent on leave Cr Michael O’Reilly, voted to show support and appreciation for a community committee of management and “about 300” volunteers who have spent time on the upkeep of the 98-hectare reserve. The state government decided not to renew the committee’s oversight of the reserve, effectively disbanding

the group of volunteers. The committee of management is headed by Frankston councillor Quinn McCormack. Parks Victoria will take over management of the former Melbourne Water site that was closed to the public from the 1920s up until early last year (“Reserve returns to Parks”, The Times 15/5/17). Cr Kris Bolam at the 22 May meeting said: “I think the way that group has been treated by the state government ... has been most disappointing. “It is a very hardworking group of people. We’re talking about scientists, people from academia, volunteers, park rangers – people with knowhow.” He said Parks Victoria has “a pretty

bad record, in my opinion, of managing parks.” The government decision came amid angst between neighbours and volunteer committee members about access to the reserve from neighbouring properties. Councillors resolved to write to Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke and Victorian Environment Minister Lily D’Ambrosio to ask if the nature reserve will remain open to the public after Parks Victoria takes back management of the land. Cr Toms, a Labor Party member, voted against the notice of motion and said he believed the state government had consulted with the committee before it was given notice Parks Victoria would take control of the

nature reserve. “It is really sad that the knowledge and professionalism appears to be abandoned,” Cr Glenn Aitken said. Councillors decided to let the state government know it would be preferable if volunteers were involved in some way when Parks Victoria manages the reserve. Letters of appreciation to volunteers will be handed out by council at the Mayor’s Picnic event in September. “The community will have improved access to the reserve under the management of Parks Victoria,” spokesman David McNamara, on behalf of the Environment Minister, said in a statement last month. No official handover date has been

agreed between the community committee of management and Parks Victoria despite the committee’s management agreement ending in March. Cr Bolam said his notice of motion to thank the volunteers was not “about politics” and he said he would have suggested that council officially thank the volunteers who looked after the reserve no matter which political party was in government at a state level. n An article “Reserve returns to Parks” published on 15 May in The Times mentioned Facebook comments in relation to feuding between reserve neighbours and committee members. Committee members did not respond on Facebook.

Rockin’ the suburbs: Maurice Blackburn lawyer Canda Glanville, who works in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula, says a state award from the Law Institute of Victoria shows not all top lawyers work in the city of Melbourne. Picture: Gary Sissons

We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper in Frankston City and on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

A LAWYER working in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula has been recognised as one of the best in the legal business in Victoria. Canda Glanville, of Maurice Blackburn lawyers, who specialises in helping road trauma victims was named Victoria’s Suburban Lawyer of the Year by the Law Institute of Victoria last month. Ms Glanville, a principal and office manager at the legal firm’s Frankston office since its 2010 opening, who sometimes also works at the firm’s Rosebud office, said the award is “very exciting and quite a surprise”. The 38-year-old lawyer, a member of the Mornington Peninsula Lawyers Association, said “we’ve got a lot of great lawyers on the peninsula” so “the award is a win for the people of Frankston and the Peninsula, not just me”. “I’m a big advocate for being an excellent lawyer in the suburbs,” she said. “People think you can only get a great lawyer in the city but that’s not right.” Ms Glanville notes she and many of her legal profession colleagues often volunteer at the Peninsula Community Legal Centre to also try to offer legal services to those who can least afford it.

Transport Accident Commission and VicRoads figures reveal there were nine fatalities and 185 serious injuries on Frankston and peninsula roads in 2015. In the past 12 months, there have been 108 incidents involving vehicles that required hospitalisation and three fatalities. “People are hurt when they come to see me. It impacts on them and their whole family so there’s a lot of emotion that goes with that,” Ms Glanville said. “They are heartbreaking. They’re just people and their lives are turned upside down by something most of the time that isn’t their fault. “Every day it reminds you it could happen to anybody.” Accidents along Beach Rd are unfortunately a regular occurrence. “We see a lot of injuries for cyclists and motorcyclists because it’s a community that rides a lot.” Ms Glanville has tried to make lawyers “part of the treatment team” for road trauma victims. “If I help them through a difficult time then I’ve done my job well.”

Socking it to doctors’ depression Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au DOCTORS need to start helping themselves as well as others. That’s the message a Frankston Hospital cardiologist hopes to spread by encouraging medical profession colleagues to show support for the alltoo-often hidden sufferers of depression in their ranks. Dr Geoff Toogood hopes a “crazysocks4docs” day last Thursday (1 June) when medical colleagues wore bright and “crazy” socks will become an annual event to let doctors, nurses and anyone working in the at times highly stressful medical profession to seek help if they ever feel depressed. Dr Toogood had the idea for the crazy socks day partly from personal experience when he did not feel too good and faced a bout of severe depression in 2013. The doctor said he had suicidal thoughts because he wanted mental anguish and pain to end despite not wanting to die. “I think we’re bad at looking after our own health. We’re slow at recognising problems,” Dr Toogood said. He decided to launch the crazysocks4docs initiative after he accidentally wore odd socks — his dog stole one — and colleagues asked him if he “was OK”. It made him realise people, despite often being well meaning, do not know when someone is struggling with “invisible” depression. “I’m trying to break down the stig-

ma doctors can face when they have mental health issues and it’s about asking them to get help and showing support for them,” Dr Toogood said. “We lose colleagues across the country to suicide regularly.” Career discrimination and being judged as “weak” by some colleagues often stop doctors and medical professionals seeking help with sometimes fatal consequences, according to Dr Toogood.

Physicians heal thyselves: Dr Geoff Toogood wants doctors to open up and talk to each other about stresses and strains felt in the medical profession. Picture: Gary Sissons

He says understanding of mental health problems afflicting the medical profession “is inching forward but it’s not fantastic”. The doctor also hopes to partly re-

claim the word “crazy” from meaning “mentally disturbed”. “I tried to come up with a fun idea to unite doctors across the country and in the past, ‘crazy’ meant ‘fun’.” The Beaumaris resident has worked at Frankston Hospital for more than 20 years. He says he now feels “really good” but is also always aware of trying to be in “the green zone” or “amber zone” instead of slipping into “the red zone”

of severe depression and suicidal thoughts. “Now I’m much more aware if I’m struggling or tired. I’ll make sure I do all the things to help me make sure I don’t go down that path again.” And seek help from others instead of “bottling it all up inside”. n Support and information about suicide prevention can be obtained at Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467.

Police patrol Jail over monkey-bike death

Police catch vandal

A COUNTY Court judge last week sentenced Caleb Jakobsson to seven years in jail for riding his mini-bike into, and killing, a Carrum Downs woman in September 2015. Judge Campton found the now 20-year-old guilty of culpable driving causing death and failing to stop immediately after the accident outside Carrum Downs Shopping Centre. She imposed a non-parole period of four years and disqualified him from applying for a licence for four years. Jakobsson was speeding on his monkey bike when he fatally struck Andrea Lehane, 34, as she walked over a crossing. The then 18-yearold fled the scene, leaving the mother-of-two dying on the road with severe brain injuries. She died in hospital days later. Jakobsson later handed himself in to police.

A MAN who allegedly daubed graffiti on Frankston police station on Tuesday last week was chased and caught by police. Members of the public reported the man who was outside the station on Fletcher Rd at 3.50pm. The 22-year-old Mooroopna man was charged with criminal damage and possessing a drug of dependence. He was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrate’s Court on 26 July.

ATM thieves foiled WOULD-BE thieves forced a side door at Langwarrin Plaza shopping centre and tried to cut open an ATM from the rear, early Tuesday morning, 30 May. Detective Senior Constable Deanne Williams, of Frankston CIU, said the raid was unsuccessful and the ATM withstood the robbery attempt. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Teens punched, robbed NINE teenagers enjoying an impromptu basketball match at Ballam Park were terrorised by thugs, 9pm, Friday 26 May. The 16-17-year-olds were shooting hoops when six older men and a woman aged in their late teens-early 20s approached and grabbed a backpack. The 16-year-old owner ran up and tried to retrieve the bag before falling to the ground and being dragged along. During the struggle another offender moved in and, fearing he would be punched, the teenager let go of the backpack. At the same time, his mate ran in to defend him and was punched in the head. The backpack, which contained a wallet, phone and personal papers, was later found empty on Cranbourne Rd near Karingal Drive. The offenders were seen walking into Karingal Hub shopping centre. Police said the woman in the group was heard to call out “Ben, don’t” to the bag snatcher.

Cat saved from cruel death A PASSING CFA volunteer saved a cat from its burning Frankston South house last week. The volunteer was on his way to a funeral when he noticed the blaze in the renovated brick veneer in Frankston-Flinders Rd, 1pm, Wednesday 31 May. Stopping to assist he noticed the cat pawing at a window. He picked up a rock and smashed the glass allowing the cat to escape. He then called in the emergency. Unfortunately, another cat caught inside died in the fire. About 20 firefighters from Frankston, Baxter and Langwarrin CFA brigades were onsite within

10 minutes and fought the blaze for several hours. Frankston CFA senior station officer Andrew McCartney said a low roof made extinguishing the seat of the blaze difficult and the house suffered extensive smoke and water damage. Officer McCartney said when the distraught owner arrived home he could only watch on as firefighters did their best to save his house. He said an electrical fault in a computer room may have caused the blaze. The lucky cat was taken to Frankston Heights Veterinary Clinic and given a clean bill of health.

No budget lifeline for bay rescue groups Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au VOLUNTEER groups which play a huge role in rescuing those in distress on Port Phillip and Western Port bays are “bewildered” at being overlooked in last month’s state budget. The 26 marine search-and-rescue units in Victoria, include the Victorian flotillas of the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard, Volunteer Marine Rescue Victoria and Southern Peninsula Rescue Squad. They say they are the only emergency service providers not to receive regular government funding and are unable to work to a budget. A Coast Guard vessel is based at Safety Beach, the VMR at Mornington and the Southern Peninsula Rescue Squad at Blairgowrie. Their rescue work takes them into both bays. The Coast Guard’s national public relations captain Deanne Semmens said the went on strike in February 2016 to “draw attention to our plight and save marine search and rescue in the state from going down the gurgler”. “Now all marine units in Victoria are standing shoulder to shoulder to fix this problem,” Ms Semmens said. “The problem is that we are small and easily overlooked.” The volunteer units – which rely on public donations and the occasional government grant – are after a minimum $5 million in recurrent funding “just to survive”.

“Considering the boating community contributes around $4.5 billion to the Victorian economy annually why can’t we get the $5 million we need to provide them with the best marine emergency service possible,” Ms Semmens said. “We need this and the boating community deserve nothing less. “We need adequate funding and we need to be sustainable. It’s like [the government has] forgotten us.” Emergency services minister James Merlino said the government “greatly values” the work of marine

search and rescue volunteers. He said they “selflessly devote their time and skills to promote the safety and wellbeing of the community”. “In the past 12 months, Emergency Management Victoria has undertaken significant work within the marine search-and-rescue sector. EMV is working with the government to identify funding sources so that [the volunteer organisations] can operate on a sustainable basis.” Ms Semmens said the volunteer groups had provided a boating safety

back-up to paid rescue services, such as the water police, for up to 60 years – overnight as well as on weekends and public holidays. “This group of passionate seafaring volunteers are critical for all waterway users, whether at ports, seas or lakes in Victoria. We are not a large group of volunteers but we are an important one,” she said. “The state government could not afford to have us off the water.” She said volunteers had done a “lot of tin rattling and barbecues” over the years to raise money to keep boats on

the water, but much of the money was spent on operational costs and training. The Carrum flotilla’s insurance bill is $10,000 a year. “That’s not what most volunteers signed up for. They’d rather be out there helping rescue people.” Mr Merlino said the marine search-and-rescue sector was funded through the boating safety and facilities program, volunteer emergency services equipment program and valuing volunteers programs. The 2014 Inquiry into Marine Rescue Services in Victoria – whose recommendations Mr Merlino said the government was actively implementing – confirmed the boating safety and facilities program was the main source of funding for marine search-and-rescue services. The inquiry found the three programs typically offered single-purpose grants for vessels, equipment or training for vessel operation qualifications but “were not intended to finance ongoing operational costs, such as maintenance or land-based vehicle running costs”. “The marine search and rescue sector has shown it can come together to initiate change and implement positive reform which is to be commended,” Mr Merlino said. “There is a real sense of achievement in the sector, and this improves the ability of [volunteer] units to provide an effective service to the Victorian boating community.”

Artist willderness bound MCCRAE artist and jeweller Katrina Newman is the first Australian to be selected to participate on the Canadian Wilderness Artist Residency in the Yukon Territory this July and August. Newman was chosen from 42 applicants for the trip in which she and nine other artists will paddle 735 kilometres on the Yukon River from Whitehorse to Dawson City, in sub-arctic Canada, arriving in time for the Riverside Arts Festival. Newman will exhibit her work and provide a short training course for young people at the Riverside Arts Festival in Dawson City. “I’ve always understood that to create great work or to achieve greatness you will never do it by playing safe, so what better way to work outside my comfort zone than in the wilds of northern Canada,” Newman said. “It’s going to be a wonderful opportunity for me on this adventure, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Away from the safety of my studio, I’ll be compelled to explore my new environment, the different landscapes, to draw on the new col-

ours and light, the new materials and textures.” Geography has a huge impact on Newman’s jewellery. “My work has always been heavily influenced by the changing landscapes of my life; each ring or pendant is a glimpse into the Australian desert, the sea and its shores, and from travels that include West African countries Ghana and Mali,” she said. “The remoteness and exploration associated with this residency, the time to connect with the people and places, will give me the opportunity to keep expanding and challenging my practice.” Newman is running a fundraising campaign with the support of the Australian Cultural Fund to help pay for the residency. The cost is $3200, plus equipment costs, for which Ms Newman has received a 60 per cent adventure sponsorship discount from an Australian outdoor specialist supplier. All donations are tax deductible. Her studio, at 69 Cinerama Cr, McCrae, will open 10am-5pm on the Queen’s Birthday weekend, 10 and 11 June.

Exhibition raises funds for MND

High achievers: Laura Pintur, of Mt Eliza, shows off her trophy backed by other winners of Victorian Young Achiever Awards and Youth Affairs Minister Jenny Mikakos. Picture: Supplied

Flight, award for anti-porn campaigner LAURA Pintur, 24, of Mt Eliza, has won the Victorian Young Achiever of the Year Award. She receives a $2000 flight voucher and trophy. The awards aim to acknowledge, encourage and promote the positive achievements of young people. Ms Pintur, co-founded the “What’s normal” program which aims to engage and educate young people on issues relating to pornography and its

negative impacts on society. Workshops, such as “Living in a pornified culture”, aim to equip young people to be creators of culture – not just consumers. As part of the workshop, Ms Pintur spearheaded a campaign to remove Zoo magazine from supermarket shelves. She gathered 40,000 signatures and, ultimately, forced the magazine’s closure. She has written

many articles and has appeared on radio and TV. “There are no words,” she said later on social media. “To be honoured as the winner of the social impact and community service award, and then to also win the overall Victorian Young Achiever Award for 2017. I feel incredibly honoured and completely overwhelmed. “Thanks to everyone who has

supported me, encouraged me and inspired me to do what I do. “Culture can’t change in an hour workshop but, together, if we continue to stand up and speak out against the cultural norms that don't speak truth and life to us, we will see culture shift. “I'm excited for the next adventure of this great journey of life, God is so faithful and so good.”

A PHOTOGRAPHIC exhibition at the Oak Hill Gallery, Mornington, until Wednesday 28 June, will help raise money for research into motor neurone disease. Photographer Jan Dance, pictured, is pledging to donate five per cent of the sales from her Whyte-Vision exhibition to MND Victoria in memory of her sister who died from the disease in October 2011. “I could easily sit back and take the attitude that it is too late to help my sister and do nothing, but I have decided that I need to not be selfish and think of others who are going through this awful disease now and in the future,” she said. “I am not looking for thanks or a pat on the back, all I am looking for is to get exposure to help raise awareness and much-needed funds to, hopefully, find a cure.” Oak Hill Gallery is at 100 Mornington-Tyabb Rd, Mornington. Opening times are 11am-4pm daily. Call 5973 4299.

Beach survivours: Three hooded plovers hatched from one nest at Gunnamatta, above, and the 20-year-old JZ, left, was not scared to tackle marauding gulls that came too near to his home. Pictures: Glenn Ehmke

Delight as plovers fly into record books Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au USUALLY the bad news story of the breeding season, hooded plovers on the Mornington Peninsula this year have set a new record with 13 chicks taking to the air. The successful breeding season coincides with regulations which banned dogs at all times from beaches within Mornington Peninsula National Park, the plovers’ main nesting area. Elsewhere, storms battered beaches, wiping out hundreds of nests in Victoria and South Australia leading to the lowest breeding success for many species over the past 10 years. At this time last year just two hooded plover chicks had managed to survive.

One nest at Gunnamatta this year saw three chicks survive, “something almost unheard of on the peninsula”, according to Friends of the Hooded Plover president Diane Lewis. “Other areas that have long suffered consistent failure such as Koonya, Montfords and Fowlers beaches also produced stunning successes.” Ms Lewis said the latest successes were a tribute to the “decade long effort and persistence of Parks Victoria rangers, Friends of Hooded Plover volunteers, BirdLife Australia researchers and everyone who visited the beaches during summer. They all helped by doing their little bit, by keeping clear of the signed nesting/ chick foraging areas”. This breeding season the plovers in the Mornington Peninsula National Park were monitored by 35 volunteers

and Parks Victoria staff, with 3000 observations recorded on the BirdLife online data portal. Fences and signs protected 81 nests, of which 59 failed. Volunteers reported 36 chicks hatching and 13 chicks surviving to fly. A plover banded as a fledgling in 1997 at Gunnamatta by Associate Professor Mike Weston of Deakin University and identified as “JZ” and its partner “XU” nested successfully at Kooya. Ms Lewis said it was “truly amazing” that JZ had survived for 20 years “in such a harsh environment”. “Hoodies’ are home bodies: when they find a good home they keep it. JZ has probably never left the peninsula in his 20 years and has called Koonya West beach home for longer than many of us have had our homes,” she said.

“In his time JZ has incubated at least several dozen nests and has hatched more chicks than we can count. Long-time volunteers have watched as he and his partners have tried and tried and tried to raise their chicks but, sadly, at best only a handful of his chicks have survived to flying age. “In some years he and his partner have laid five nests with none surviving. But he’s never given up in 20 years. So many failures have taught JZ to be extremely wary and very, very good at protecting his nests and chicks.” Ms Lewis said JZ and XU fended off silver gulls, moved chicks away from beachgoers and kept their chicks clear of high tides. “One if his two-week-old flightless chicks survived being chased by a dog for more than a kilometer along the

entire Koonya West beach, as well as dealing with huge tides and storms, foxes and who knows what else.” Glenn Ehmke, of BirdLife Australia, said visitors to the beaches where hooded plovers bred were “generally wonderful this season with much enthusiasm and interest in the little birds’ battle against the odds’’. ”It serves to show that these seemingly helpless threatened birds are not actually helpless at all,” Ms Ehmke said. “They are actually incredibly adept at negotiating a barrage of threats that would make the best of us shudder in terror, while keeping their family safe. All they need is a little help from us in the form of some space, and they have a fighting chance to beat the odds and raise a family.” Details: hoodedplover.com or hploversmornpen@ gmail.com

Students ‘connect’ to find work after school JOB ConneXions is a new pilot project to help Rosebud Secondary College VCAL students make the transition from school to work. Over the next 10 weeks mentors from local businesses will share their knowledge and skills with students, helping them to access community networks and career opportunities. The year 11 VCAL students are matched with a mentor who has experience in their chosen industry. “This real world mentor experience is helping the students to understand the practicalities of their initial career choice, and the potential to gain local employment in a particular industry, extending their skills and knowledge beyond the classroom,” teacher Derek Kirk said. The mentor program is one of four parts of the

Job ConneXions project being piloted by Seawinds Community Hub, Rotary Club of Rosebud Rye and the college and paid for by Mornington Peninsula Shire. The mentor program runs for 10 weeks. Heather Barton, CEO of Seawinds Community Hub, said that through Job ConneXions students will be “enabled to create a smooth transition into their preferred jobs”. “Employers will be connected with job-ready, local young employees and young people will gain real world career information and experience,” she said. “They will develop the employability skills that employers want.” Students Luke Jansen, left, and Angus Calvert, right, with mentor Nick Arnott.

Cancer check BOWEL cancer is one of the most common cancers, affecting one in 18 males and one in 26 females. It is mostly seen in persons aged 40 years and over, and after 50 years the incidence increases sharply. Armed with that data, Mt Eliza Rotary Club is encouraging greater participation in the BowelScan program. “Records over the last 30 years have shown that there are many people who will have a positive bowel cancer test one year after a negative test,” Rotarian Maurie Selth said. “If you wait an extra year to do the test then the polyps or bowel cancer will be more advanced and more difficult to treat.” He said 10 per cent of the BowelScan participants in the area covered by Mt Eliza Rotary needed a follow up by their doctor. “Ninety per cent of bowel cancers can be cured if detected early and this year Mt Eliza Rotary is facilitating and extending the BowelScan program through the Mornington Peninsula and Western Port area with the involvement of 21 pharmacies,” Mr Selth said. The pharmacies will sell the take home kits for $15 which, once a sample is taken, are sent by self-addressed envelope to the kit suppliers. “The results are confidential and sent back to the person involved. However if the result is positive your nominated doctor is notified as well,” Mr Selth said. “Bowel cancer has the second most common cancer death rate in all Australians after lung cancer but, if diagnosed early, there’s a 90 per cent chance of successful treatment. Kits are available up to mid-June. Call 1300 779 694.

Senior drivers’ expo A FREE senior drivers’ expo will be held at the Rosebud Memorial Hall, 9.45am-1.30pm, Saturday 24 June. Road Safe South East is running the half day information session with backing from Mornington Peninsula Shire, VicRoads, Victoria police and RACV. Driving instructors and training staff will instruct seniors on road safety, driving skills, prescribed medicines and road laws. Participants will receive a free and confidential one-on-one driver assessment in their own cars, as well as a free VicRoads’ roadworthiness assessment of their cars. They can watch a VicRoads tyre safety presentation, view a series of road safety videos and join in the Safe Drive seminar developed by Vic Roads. Participants also receive a free up-to-date road rules book in their showbags and have the opportunity to ask questions of police highway patrol members in a Q&A session which extends after the expo. A free barbecue lunch and morning and afternoon tea and refreshments will be provided. Pre-registration is essential for catering purposes. Call 0419 398 695 or after hours 5986 4621.

Open morning GUESTS will be able to enjoy school tours, curriculum presentation, school assembly and morning tea at Mornington Special Developmental School’s open morning, 9.30am-noon, Wednesday 21 June. The school is at 40 Robertson Drive, Mornington. RSVP to Karen, 59 756 111, by 19 June.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

The benefits of chiropractic care IF you haven’t visited a chiropractor before, the chances are you may be doing your body a disservice, not only for now, but also for the long term health benefits that chiropractic adjustments promote in helping you become healthy, mobile and active. The whole basis of chiropractic care is to address the spinal column – home to the nervous system – and then to align the body in order for it to heal via a series of adjustments. “Everyone wants better health, and an important key to that is assessing any loss of function to the spinal column and making corrections that help the body to heal itself” explains Dr Adam Sherriff, of Wellbeing Natural Health Group in Langwarrin. While the thought of spinal adjustment, or “back cracking” prevents some people seeking chiropractic care, the actual practice is a gentle treatment that yields impressive results. In fact the popping sound is not bones cracking at all, but the release of gas produced by fluid between the joints, just like when people crack their knuckles. If the cracking sound makes you squeamish there are other adjustment options, just as effective, that the chiropractor can use that involve no joint popping at all. So everyone, of all ages can receive the benefits of chiropractic care. Relief is often instant, although on rare occasions some people may experience a mild degree of stiffness,

similar to the after effects felt upon starting a new exercise routine, but there really shouldn’t be any pain or discomfort. Located at 96 Warrandyte Road, Langwarrin, the offices of The Wellbeing Natural Health Group have been recently renovated to give it a fresh, clean and updated look. “We believe that health should be celebrated and seen as something that you come to as a group or community. It should not be a sterile and stale environment, but rather, like when you go to the gym, juice bar or market, it becomes something that you celebrate in a healthy way, as opposed to going somewhere to get sick. People have much better results because they’re going somewhere to get healthy, not to go and be ill and manage disease. Embrace it and enjoy your health.” Says Dr Adam. Dr Adam and Dr Carl are also passionate about empowering and educating their patients on how to help themselves. “We want to give all of our patients the best start in their care, getting them healthier and improving vitality as quickly as possible. For this reason, all new patients to the clinic can come along to our pre care orientation, where they will get the information and tools they need to get the most out of their care, to get better quicker and stay healthier for longer. This could be considered the most important visit for them in the clinic. We have

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mr J. Holley killed after being hit by freight train Compiled by Cameron McCullough WE regret to have to record that the accident which occurred to Mr J. Holley, of Mornington Junction on Tuesday of last week, through being-run over by a goods train while returning home from the Dandenong market, terminated fatally on the 31st. ult. The deceased was much respected and sincere sympathy is felt for the bereaved family. One of the sons is at present fighting with the Allies in defence of his country. *** A DONATION of £5 5s has been sent to the British Red Cross Society, by the “Wattle” Club. *** THE Australian Club will entertain 100 returned soldiers at Clarendon House tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. *** A CONCERT will be held this (Saturday) evening in the Somerville Hall by St Stephen’s choir and other talented singers, in aid of the local branch of the Red Cross Society. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing sale at Pearcedale today, on account of Mr Leadbetter, who is leaving the district of stock, implements, vehicles, harness etc, and on Wednesday next the same firm will hold their usual sale at Somerville, when they will have a large yarding of stock, pigs, poultry and sundries. *** MR Rintoul, the Poultry Expert, paid his visit to a few of the poultry yards in Mornington Junction on Thursday last.

PAGE 30

Frankston Times 5 June 2017

The weather was not very good, but it did not damp the ardor of the Poultry enthusiasts, for a good number followed him to the various yards to see his method of selection. Particular mention could be made of Mr Wicker’s flock of beautiful white leghorns. Mr and Mrs Wicker have spent both time and money in bringing their birds to such a state of perfection that Mr Rintoul’s first words on entering the yards were “There are several competition winners here.” Mr Wicker has single tested his flock and several fine cockerels in the pen are from 230 egg hens, by a Tom Barron cockerel. There were several more yards that Mr Rintoul will visit through the year to select the breeder so that their poultry business should get a push on this year. *** MRS Baker, of Glen Eira, Cranbourne Road, Tyabb, who died at the age of 80 years, was a colonist for 58 years, having arrived in Victoria in 1858 by a vessel called The Telegraph. Mrs Baker had been a resident of Tyabb for 46 years. Her husband predeceased her by 35 years. She leaves a grown up family, there being four generations at the time of her death. *** Municipal Notice. Shire of Frankston and Hastings.

JONES, Shire Secretary. *** Dynamite and Peace THE Huns were recently boasting that Germany was vastly superior to the rest of mankind because she had been awarded fourteen Nobel prizes, while France and Britain had only been awarded six between them. This statement anybody, if he takes the trouble, can verify or disprove for himself ; and anybody who does so will find that up to date the number of Nobel prizes awarded to France and Britain, instead of being six, is twenty one. The Nobel prizes constitute one the most piquant things in history, for they were instituted by the late Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, the first of the line of high explosives which have figured so constantly in our talk and writing about war, and—most piquant of all —one of the big prizes is to go every year to “the person who has done most, or labored best, for the cause of fraternity among different peoples, for the suppression or reduction of standing armies, or for the formation and promotion of peace congresses.” There are five prizes provided, supposed to be given annually, although any one of them can be withheld if no

candidate is considered to reach the highest standard. The five subjects are physics, medicine, chemistry, literature, and peace, and it is a fact that Germans have been awarded fourteen science prizes and not one peace prize! The only English writer who has carried off the literary prize is Mr Rudyard Kipling, who annexed it in the year 1907. In 1914 it was not awarded, and in 1915 it was divided between two Danes, one Swede, and one Frenchman. The value of each prize is about £8,000. *** Tommy’s Slang MANY men who prided themselves on their general knowledge are finding out since their call to the Army that soldiers possess a peculiar and unsuspected slang, original to themselves. Everyone knows “Blighty” but how many would recognised that expressive colloquialism for London, “The Smoke.” No soldiers ever thinks of asking for bread—it is always “rooty” Jam is “pozzy” and butter is always the “muck in.’’ An entirely Army expression is “square pushing,”’ which is practically a synonym for flirting. Square pushers are civilian boots worn only for walking out purposes. Our lads derive much of their slang from the Hindustani. Thus a rifle is invariably a “bondook” and a bed a “charpoy”. If a soldier wants a glance at anything, he “takes a dekko”. .

Potatoes are “spuds.” A man is never admitted to hospital, he always goes “in dock.” A defaulter is a “tanker,” and a Tommy always calls himself a “squaddy”. “Quashy” is a word in very common use. It signifies easy or comfortable. Nowadays one does not so often hear the phrase “working a ticket.” It means that a man is endeavouring to get a discharge either by malingering or by behaving in such a way that he will be “discharged with ignominy.” The latter inevitably means a spell in “stir,” i.e., prison. *** To The Editor SIR—I was pleased to read the letter signed “A Soldier’s Wife” in your issue dated June 2nd. I am a ratepayer, and very nearly went in for property at Frankston, as I am so fond of a good beach. But the silly trifling squabbles about nothing which appear in your paper, put me off, and I took my money where there are “up to date” people, surroundings and cleanliness. I wrote before on the subject of the dirty (so called) bathing boxes a disgrace to any place, especially so pretty a spot as Frankston, near town. You were kind enough to publish my letter, and ask you once again to oblige me. I sympathise with your correspondent in all she says. I am, Sir. Yours faithfully, RATEPAYER. 4/6/17. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 9 June 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Achy Breaky Heart of Darkness By Stuart McCullough CAN you believe it? An entire quarter of a century has passed since one of modern civilization’s greatest cultural catastrophes descended from the heavens like a satanic death-clown to be unleashed on an unwitting world. On that day, the course of human history was forever altered and life as we knew would never be the same again. I’m not sure how the anniversary will be marked. Stamp? Commemorative coin? Or, somewhat ironically, a minute’s silence? Whatever mode we choose, it’s inevitable that we’ll all pause in the coming days to wonder how it was that we were ever seduced by whatever meager charms it possessed. I speak, of course, of the release of ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ by Billy Ray Cyrus. No doubt, you recall exactly where you were when you first heard it. For me, I was sitting on the couch one Saturday morning watching ‘Video Hits’. It was something we regularly did in our St Kilda share house. As the morning progressed, housemates would find their way to the living room, wrapped in a dressing gown and clutching a coffee cup as though it contained all life’s answers (which, in fairness, it probably did). There, we’d sit and watch music videos. Mostly it was a chance to communally lament at the poor state of popular music. When songs we liked broke into the top twenty, it always seemed a victory against the odds. From the safety of the big black couch, which was held together by a combination of duct tape and hu-

man sweat, we would hurl abuse and inanimate objects whenever a song that displeased us came on. As it happened, songs we disliked were most of what Video Hits had to offer. However, even we were lulled into a stupefied silence when confronted by the horror of ‘Achy Breaky Heart’. In many respects, 1992 was pretty much like the opening sentence of ‘A

Tale of Two Cities’ by Charles Dickens. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of grunge, it was the age of boy bands, it was the epoch of Seattle, it was the epoch of Right Said Fred, it was the season of Nirvana, it was the season of New Kids on the Block, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us. Most of all, we had Billy

Ray Cyrus gurning at us whenever we so much as glanced at a television. There is no way to describe ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ other than as a total assault on the senses. There’s the song itself, which consists of just two chords. Even punk bands that refuse to learn how to play their instruments on principle frequently manage more than two chords. The lyrics tell of a love gone tragically wrong and an invitation from the singer to take whatever steps his ex deems necessary to distance herself from what is obviously some kind of romantic disaster. It’s sage advice. But, as always, there’s a limit to this magnanimity, and while Billy Ray is happy for his former paramour to disown him to all and sundry, the one exception is his ‘achy breaky heart.’ The song, however, is about so much more than the music – which of itself is so wretched that it would tempt anyone to accuse their own ears of treachery whenever the hear it. There’s also the small matter of the video clip. There’s no nice way to put this – Billy Ray had a mullet so large that it could be seen from space. Traditionally, the mullet hair cut is the epitome of compromise; representing, as it does, ‘business at the front’ and ‘party at the back’. Given Billy Ray’s tonsorial state, the party must have been one where everyone stays up without sleeping for about a week and, at some point, all your furniture gets broken up and used for firewood. The thing was huge. The mullet, however, was not even the worst thing about the video. That honour belongs

to the dancing. Until that fateful morning on the lounge room couch, none of us had ever encountered ‘boot scooting’. For a generation raised on the notion that dancing represented freedom, (an ethos so memorably encapsulated by our hero, Kevin Bacon, in the movie ‘Footloose’) here was something that violated almost everything we believed in. The dancers (if, indeed, you could call them that) looked like they were marching together towards the exit before turning on their heels and marching right back again. It was as though they were struggling to make a decision in unison. Our comments were, inevitably, of the unkind variety. The song rocketed to number one on the Australian charts and went three times platinum. In spite of that success, I’m not sure it holds up too well. Later, Billy Ray was put out to stud and ended up siring Hannah Montana. For me, there’s other music from that era that I continue to love. My housemate Kevin had a copy of ‘Badmotorfinger’ by Soundgarden. You didn’t see Soundgarden on Video Hits. Instead, you had to stay up to catch Rage. Then, as now, I seldom stayed up so late. But I loved that album and I loved the sound of Chris Cornell’s incredible voice. For me, it was an antidote to all the boot scooting shenanigans that dominated the airwaves. To mark ‘Achy Breaky Heart’s’ quarter century, I’ll do much as I did twenty-five years ago and slip on ‘Badmotorfinger’ instead. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Frankston Times 5 June 2017

Pines win a cracker PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SEAFORD and Pines turned on the game of the season in MPNFL Peninsula Division on Saturday. In a match that was expected to deliver so much, it didn’t disappoint, the massive crowd getting everything and more that it came for. The Tigers led by 10 points at halftime but a seven-goal third quarter to the visitors gave them the gap they were looking for to go on and win the match. The Pythons led by as much as 28 points in the final term before Seaford rallied with a couple of late goals. The final margin was 14 points, 17.10 (112) to 15.8 (98). The match had everything. High marking, strong contests, incredible individual displays and even the goal umpire became the focus of attention when a Matt McCormack goal off the crowd smashed the goalie right in the face, dropping him to the ground. To the crowd’s delight, after five minutes of lying on the deck, the goal umpire got himself to his feet and delivered a rigorous goal signal. Pines always appeared to be the more dangerous side when the ball went into attack but it took an hour for the visitors to find their rhythm. The big question for Seaford was how long were the structures going to stand up. In the first half, the Tigers were almost faultless, making life very difficult for the Pythons offence. However, with time, patience, expe-

rience and maturity, Pines was able to break them down. Whilst Lachy Marshall was the best player on the ground with his solid four quarter performance and three goals, it was the likes of Paul Scanlon and Luke Potts in the second half through the middle that helped to turn the game Pines’ way. Young Dylan Smilie is quickly making a name for himself as one of the best ruckmen in the comp and his tap work to advantage on Saturday was a significant reason as to why the Pythons took control of the match. Seaford’s Brayden Irving carved up the opposition in the first half but a master stroke by Pines’ coach Pat Swayne to swing Guy Hendry onto him on the wing was another key reason they took control. There were great one-on-one battles everywhere, which Pines were able to win by game’s end. Corey Ash had the job on the dangerous Damien Rayson and had the better of him, Rourke Fischer did a wonderful job on Aaron Edwards but the master still managed to boot six goals. Ben Howlett had the job on Nick Boswell but the best running defender in the whole of the MPNFL was able to break the shackles often enough to cause problems and finish with a couple of goals. Brad Doyle did everything to unsettle Tim Bongetti but ‘Bongo’ stood up at key moments in the game to finish with three goals. Whilst Seaford coach Ben Murphy would have been disappointed with the

result, there was more than enough to take away and be positive about. Murphy’s structures stood-up for the most part – the challenge now is for his players to trust and commit to it for longer. Kyle Matthews will make a big difference to the team when he comes back in. They missed his midfield rotation. Nick Shannon looks like he needs a spell to get his knee right. Whilst Rourke Fischer was good on Edwards, they missed his drive and bullocking higher up the ground. Edwards still kicked six goals. Would they do it a second time? No-one looked like they could go with Brayden Irving deep in the forward line for Seaford. It would have been interesting to see him one out in the square. Tommy Shaw was superb for the Tigers and has regained his brilliance after a couple of years away, while Jono Haidon is a real player with a big future. Make no mistake, despite Seaford going down, they have a major role to play in the finals. Pines are genuine flag contenders this season. Pace has always been an issue but that has been sorted. Depth is no longer a problem either with its reserves going well. They are in good shape at the pit. Described by a spectator as one of the worst games of local footy he had seen in two years, Mornington picked up a valuable four points against Langwarrin.

The Doggies have struggled to get a win this season despite playing pretty good footy. On Saturday they led from start to finish to win 12.23 (95) to 4.8 (32). Frankston YCW had the majority of its VFL contingent available, including Anthony Barry, and were able to get the job done over Chelsea 15.15 (105) to 7.7 (49). The Stonecats booted nine goals to three in the second half, Michael Debenham back and booting three goals. Bonbeach continued to impress and knock over the second grand final team

of 2016, smacking Mt Eliza 12.8 (80) to 7.11 (53). Strong second and third quarters for Bonbeach made the difference, booting seven goals to three in that period with Trent Dennis-Lane booting three and Jackson Sole winning a heap of footy. Edithvale-Aspendale did what it needed to do against Karingal but inaccuracy cost them early. The Eagles trailed at halftime despite having 16 scoring (2.14) shots to seven but went on to win 12.22 (94) to 6.7 (43).

Sharks finish off Hillmen title challenge NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SORRENTO flexed its muscles again on Saturday and in doing so highlighted once again that Red Hill is not capable of winning the 2017 Nepean Division premiership. In another really important game for the Hillmen, they simply weren’t able to match the power of the Sharks and struggled to get the ball forward of centre to kick goals. The Hillmen have now lost to Frankston, Hastings and now Sorrento, all at home. On Saturday it lost 11.18 (84) to 6.8 (44). The Red Hill defence held up OK but when the opposition has a forward line consisting of Leigh Poholke, Chris Dawes and Nick Corp, it’s hard to contain. Red Hill coach Tony Blackford said after the game that “it’s achievable to hold a couple but it’s near impossible to hold them all”. Blackford was right. Poholke was held to one goal and Corp didn’t bother the scorers, however, Chris Dawes booted five. Luke Tapscott was the best player on the park and completely dominated through the middle in the absence of Red Hill’s Ben Poole and Chris Irving. Poole and Irving are Red Hill’s best inside midfielders and them not being there on Saturday hurt them. Poole has finally succumbed to a bad knee and has decided that he

PAGE 34

Frankston Times 5 June 2017

can’t push his body through it any more. He retired before the game. Irving will be back next week. Sorrento had some good news of their own through the week with the signature of Cayden Beetham, who will return as a one-point player. Andrew Lovett was also at the ground on Saturday watching and has been sighted at training. Dromana made it three wins on the trot and their tails are up after beating Somerville 14.9 (93) to 10.17 (77). Somerville once again had the better of the opposition in the first half but could only manage 4.11 to 7.5 in the first hour. Last week they had three more scoring shots that Sorrento at halftime but trailed. Sam Fowler makes a significant difference to the Tigers and his three goals were significant. Timmy McGennis played his best game of the season for the Eagles while Jake Neuchew played his first game and shone. Rye made it back-to-back wins too against Crib Point but were made to work for it. The Magpies led at the long break but Rye booted seven goals to three after the break to win 11.12 (78) to 8.8 (56). Rye has five U19s in the side currently and all of them are getting better every week. Jai Lloyd was also a very handy addition, back from Sandringham for the remainder of the season. Hastings got back on the winner’s list against an undermanned

Pearcedale. According to coach Leigh Stewart, the Dales are minus 13 of their best players at the minute through injury. Shaun Foster booted five for the Blues with David Hirst and Luke Clark kicking three each in the 17.12 (114) to 8.10 (58) victory. Rosebud kicked atrociously again on Saturday but still managed a 15.28 (118) to 4.4 (28) win against Tyabb. Keegan Downie nailed four and Matt Baker three for the Buds. Frankston Bombers took three quarters to find something and beat Devon Meadows. The Bombers trailed all afternoon, including by 18 points at three-quarter time. However, a five goal to one point final quarter saw the Bombers win 9.11 (65) to 7.10 (52). Defenders Ryan Marks-Logan, Jarryd Amalfi and Corey Buchan were significant in the Bombers’ win.

Kilner brothers on target, Langy still unbeaten SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie BAXTER’S commanding 3-0 home win over Monash Uni on Saturday has catapulted it into the State 4 South promotion race. Baxter gaffer Roy Kilner made three changes to the team which was unlucky against Harrisfield Hurricanes the previous week with Matthew Owens replacing the suspended Edin Ali, captain Frank Ntim replacing Daniel Sharratt and Alan Lipsett dropped to the bench for Daniel Disseldorp. It didn’t take long for Baxter to strike and in the 11th minute, a superb Travis Ernsdoerfer pass found Liam Kilner whose scintillating finish made it 1-0. Monash responded but found Baxter’s defence impenetrable. In the 61st minute, Baxter extended its lead when Ernsdoerfer’s far post corner was headed home in style by Owen Kilner. It was a first for the Kilner family with both brothers scoring for the same team in the same match. And Baxter’s jubilation continued courtesy of Mark Pagliarulo who won a penalty in the 70th minute and converted from the spot. Langwarrin remains the only unbeaten team in State 1 South-East after a 3-2 away win over Clifton Hill last weekend. Kieron Kenny made his league debut linking with fellow English import George Whiteoak at the heart of the Langy defence with John Guthrie at right back and Andy McIntyre at left back. Kenny and Whiteoak have played over 100 games together during their time at Macclesfield Town and Congleton Town. Clifton Hill scored first through Michael Catalano in the 15th minute but big Mat “Yaya” Luak levelled 12 minutes later after a fine build-up by controlling the ball on his chest just inside the box then hammering a fierce shot past Clifton Hill keeper Chris Davis. Usual suspect Liam Baxter got onto the scoresheet in the 37th minute following an Aaran Currie shot and Langy led 2-1 at the break. In the second half Alex Metcalfe beat two opponents then slipped the ball to Connor Belger whose shot from 15 metres gave Langy a twogoal cushion. Clifton Hill captain Daniel Thomas made it 3-2 in the 85th minute but Langy was able to hang on to all three points. Mornington won 2-1 away to Malvern City on Saturday and could be

on the verge of making a number of signings this week. Among the prospective newcomers are a current NPL player, a Scot currently playing in New Zealand and another UK import. Mornington head coach Adam Jamieson is adamant that not all is yet lost in the race for the State 1 SouthEast title despite being nine points behind Langwarrin. “If we had held onto our leads in previous weeks we’d be one point behind Langwarrin,” said Jamieson. “I think we are the form side of the competition and we just need that bit of luck that you need to win championships. “We are definitely in the top two and I think it is between us and Langwarrin so it will come down to whether Langwarrin can hold on or whether we can chase them down.” Mornington dominated the first half against Malvern City and should have had more to show at half-time than a Ryan Paczkowski goal after great work by Chris Reid. With 10 minutes to go Malvern levelled through former Mornington winger Brad Blumenthal but some Craig Smart magic and a fine finish by Simon Mur in the 85th minute settled the issue. Make no mistake about it, Heatherton United is an ordinary side but on Saturday at Monterey Reserve, it

was made to look like championship material against an insipid Frankston Pines who are staring down the barrel of relegation in State 2 South-East. Heatherton thumped the home team 5-1 after Pines rolled out the welcome mat for strikers Ali Sanad and Meldin Klehic with a shambolic defensive display that bordered on farce. Michael Miller made his debut for Pines after switching from Westgate but the home side adopted a zonal defensive approach that allowed Sanad and Klehic to run riot. Jack Wrobel’s low, firm strike in the 6th minute was only partially stopped by Yehya Dimassi in the Heatherton goal before crossing the line for the opener but by the time the game clock had ticked over to the 29-minute mark Pines were 3-1 down and all but out. Sanad was offside in the 19th minute when he broke down the left but the assistant referee thought otherwise allowing the Heatherton striker to draw out Pines keeper Brian Karaga before squaring to Jusuf Kusdian to tap into the gaping goal for the equaliser. In the 28th minute, Klehic took everyone by surprise with a longrange strike that sailed over Karaga and into the far corner of goal to make it 2-1 and a minute later Sanad’s mazy run into the Pines area ended with a clinical finish past the helpless Karaga to make it 3-1.

This signalled a change in approach with Miller marking Sanad but by then the damage had been done. Pines failed to make any inroads into the Heatherton defence in the second half and lost the midfield battle hands down. Cedric Permal is a class act but goodness knows what the Mauritian international is thinking when he sees midfielders who won’t tackle or track back properly. To make matters worse Heatherton’s fourth goal in the 73rd minute was embarrassing as Karaga passed the ball to the feet of Klehic who dribbled past the last defender then rounded the red-faced keeper and stroked the ball into the empty goal. Pines’ afternoon was summed up in the 83rd minute when Wrobel robbed Dimassi who recovered and blocked Wrobel from just a few metres out. Mirza Pedic made it 5-1 in the 89th minute and a few minutes later referee Yuhong Li did Pines a favour by blowing his whistle for the final time. Pines’ first team needs strengthening and it needs it now if it is to drag itself clear of the relegation battle. The same can be said for neighbouring Seaford United which is anchored to the foot of the State 2 South-East table with Pines just three points above it. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford blew a 2-0 lead in its 4-2 away loss to Berwick City on Saturday. A Paul McGuire penalty and an opportunist goal from Tom Natoli had Seaford in cruise control after 32 minutes but in the 40th minute a mixup in defence allowed Orlando Meijas to round Seaford keeper Anthony Madaferri and make it 2-1. Three minutes later Meijas headed over Madaferri for the equaliser. Josh Tsung denied David Di Iorio with a goalline clearance in the 63rd minute but substitute Ruben Ichim scored in the 77th and 92nd minutes to confirm the home team’s secondhalf dominance. Peninsula Strikers joined the list of struggling locals when it went down 4-1 away to North Caulfield on Sunday and is now third bottom on the State 2 South-East ladder. The home side led 3-0 at the interval with goals from Aaron Vaserman (6th minute), Daniel Sacks (26th) and Darby Dexter (47th). Sacks put the nail in the coffin in the 53rd minute and Trevor Johnston (63rd) provided Strikers’ reply. Skye United turned in its worst display of the season going down 1-0 at home to Collingwood City in their State 3 South-East encounter on Saturday.

Skye’s wounds were self-inflicted as Batu Cimen rose unchallenged in the 88th minute to get on the end of a set piece and head the winner. Skye has signed left-back Sajnesh Sugrim from Strikers. Sugrim is a former Morwell Pegasus player. Rosebud Heart and Harrisfield Hurricanes had to settle for a scoreless draw in Saturday’s State 4 South clash at Truemans Road Recreation Reserve. It was the first time that Heart had failed to score under Scott Morrison but the home team dominated the first half and should have made more of its chances. An errant back pass in the 20th minute sent ace scorer Dave Greening on his way but uncharacteristically Greening shot straight at Harrisfield keeper Filip Konikowski. In the 30th minute, a poor clearance fell to Chris Sibson and he blasted the ball towards the bottom corner but Konikowski got down well to parry. Greening hammered home the rebound only to be ruled offside. There were few chances created in the second half until the final 10 minutes. Greening turned a defender on the left of the box but his shot flew across the face of goal then two great saves from Sean Skelly, one from substitute Ahmet Ogut who was clean through, kept the visitors at bay. Somerville Eagles drew 2-2 at home to high-flying Rowville Eagles on Saturday in their State 5 South fixture and the next day the home team’s fans were still venting their spleen over the display of referee Ersin Kilic. Liam Morgan pounced on a defensive error by Rowville in the 8th minute and an Alex Colville volley in the 20th minute made it 2-0. A controversial penalty in the 65th minute was converted by Denny Bejan and brought the visitors back into the contest and Bejan’s header back across Somerville keeper Neil Herd in the 80th minute completed the scoreline. This weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Langwarrin v Malvern City (Lawton Park), Mornington v Morwell Pegasus (Dallas Brooks Park), Peninsula Strikers v Mazenod Utd (Centenary Park), Seaford Utd v Beaumaris (North Seaford Reserve), Brandon Park v Skye Utd (Freeway Reserve), Endeavour Utd v Baxter (Reema Reserve), Monash Uni v Rosebud Heart (Monash Uni Playing Fields – Pitch 1), Lyndale Utd v Somerville Eagles (Lyndale Secondary College).

AFL South East flexes its muscles By Toe Punt AFL South East has provided only two options in its recently released senior football competition review. The paper, released at 2.30 last Friday afternoon (2 June), invited all “industry stakeholders” (including member clubs, neighboring leagues, local councils and more) to consider and make comment by early July. The options provided were: n A full divisional structure initially comprising three divisions with promotion/relegation between each. n A partial divisional structure also comprising three divisions, with a top division then two divisions below based on geography. AFL SE General Manager John Anderson said the options “not only address the concerns raised by the majority of clubs but they also strike a balance with the competing issues specific to some clubs.” Anderson also stated in the media release that he was very pleased with the way the individual club consulta-

tions were conducted. “Clubs were open, honest and respectful during the process. The discussion paper has been prepared to incorporate much of the feedback received and recorded during the consultation phase,” Anderson said. However, key figures with clubs in Nepean and Peninsula Division believe the comments made by Anderson were nothing more than “PR Spin and misguided”. Nepean and Peninsula clubs genuinely believe that AFL SE has totally disregarded their input and presented only options that suits themselves. Rosebud Secretary Anthony Matthews, who has spoken on behalf of Nepean and Peninsula Clubs, said the recommendations were “poorly considered and being driven by a desire to correct concerns raised with the South East Football Netball League (SENFL) at the expense of Nepean and Peninsula clubs. “If the AFL SE think they have any chance of railroading clubs into accepting either of these options they

have another thing coming. Clubs have demonstrated previously what they are prepared to do when their league doesn’t listen, doesn’t engage in meaningful consultation and does not act in the best interests of the clubs it is charged with administering,” Matthews said. Seaford coach Ben Murphy said on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that he believed Peninsula clubs had ‘zero interest’ in having anything to do with the SENFL. “I haven’t spoken to one person at another club in Peninsula that is remotely interested in having a three-tier structure involving SENFL Clubs,” Murphy said. Chelsea coach Brett Dunne said on RPP Footy Show that he supported promotion-relegation but only between Nepean and Peninsula clubs. RPP Footy Show regulars in Red Hill coach Tony Blackford has always been a supporter of promotion-relegation between Nepean and Peninsula and Rye’s Scott Beel is also supportive of promotion-relegation.

To give the discussion some context, it should be remembered also that three years ago the Casey League broke away from the MPNFL, reformed as SENFL and opted to have nothing to do with Peninsula and Nepean Division clubs. It should also be remembered that divisional football was introduced more than 20 years ago when the then MPNFL saved the SENFL Clubs and took them under their structure. Divisional football at that time almost destroyed many clubs across the whole region. The Nepean clubs had an opportunity two years ago to support promotion-relegation with Peninsula Division clubs but dug in their heels and opted to ‘leave things alone’. Promotion-relegation between the divisions is not even an option for them right now. Perhaps now Nepean Clubs, especially Dromana, Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento, which led the charge to block it previously, will reconsider their stance – it seems they have lit-

tle choice and provides them the only alternative to the AFL SE recommendations. Not one club spoken to in Nepean and Peninsula on Friday and over the weekend supports the AFL SE recommendations. It is also believed that SENFL Clubs are not interested in Divisional football and some will consider a move to Eastern FL if AFL SE pushes it. Chelsea, Bonbeach and EdithvaleAspendale would even consider a move to Southern FL. Chelsea had discussions with Southern two years ago. Feedback must be lodged with the review panel by Monday 3 July. Stakeholders can do so by going to the AFL South East website. The review panel will consider stakeholder feedback on each of the options and then provide a final report to the commission for its approval, scheduled for late July.

Mount Eliza Tennis Club calls for extension

Bigger the better: Mount Eliza Tennis Club juniors enjoy a day at the club. Picture: Supplied

By Ben Triandafillou THE Mount Eliza Tennis Club began a petition on 12 May to push for an extension to their club with some new tennis courts to cater for their growing member base. Often overflowing, the Mount Eliza Tennis Club has to hire almost 10 tennis courts from the Frankston Tennis Club because of the lack of courts at the club. With coaching taking up the majority of the eight tennis courts at Mount Eliza, members are often struggling to get a court to play on and Saturday junior competition is regularly running out of time, says Mount Eliza Tennis Club coach Brad Grose. In response to the rising issues, the Mount Eliza Tennis Club began the petition to gain support from the community and create awareness for the need of some more courts. Now with a growing list of 326 signatures, the Mount Eliza Tennis Club is asking locals who support the development to join the petition and add to the signature list.
