Public ‘needs to work harder’ to prevent thefts Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au OVER 200 charges have been laid as a result of a Frankston and Mornington Peninsula police crackdown on thieves who gain access to cars and break into homes by opening unlocked doors. 26 offenders were arrested during the first three weeks of Operation Pandora, with 17 of those remanded in custody. Charges laid include aggravated burglary, burglary, theft of a motor car, theft from a motor car,
reckless conduct endangering life, and obtain property by deception. Frankston Crime Investigation Unit Detective Senior Sergeant Stephen McKenzie said the operation was started to “combat a large spike in vehicle crime”. “The term vehicle crime does not adequately explain the danger and cost to the local community. In the holiday period we have had criminals entering houses in the middle of the night to steal car keys and being confronted by half asleep occupants, causing emotional and occasionally physical harm,” he said.
“Police have been working extremely hard to identify and lock up those responsible for vehicle crime, but need the public to help to prevent it in the first place. We can forgive the forgetfulness, but we need to work harder together to minimise the harm. “I ask the public to protect themselves by locking vehicles, not keeping spare keys in vehicles parked at the same location, not leaving valuables in vehicles, locking house doors and windows at night, and not leaving vehicle keys in obvious places.” Det Snr Sgt McKenzie said that stolen vehicles had been used in numer-
ous crimes such as ram raids, and were often left “dumped and burnt out.” “The majority of stolen vehicles are driven by criminals recklessly at high speeds, running red lights and often ramming police to evade capture,” he said. “We’ve had criminals walking along an entire street, opening every unlocked vehicle and stealing cash, electronics, wallets and identification. They use stolen credit cards to buy goods before the owner even knows the card is stolen. They will used stolen identification to steal hire cars. They often steal registration plates and
use them to avoid detection or commit petrol drive offs.” Among the cars stolen over the Christmas and New Year period were a Range Rover from Mount Martha and a Porsche from Safety Beach. Both cars were left unlocked with the key inside the vehicle. Det Snr Sgt McKenzie said that while “prevention is largely the responsibility of the community, if the police need to be the cure then the criminals need to know we are active 24 hours a day. We will find you, arrest you, and most likely find a prison cell to house you.”

Expo keeps the kids safe Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON’S first ever Youth Expo took place on 23 January, with multiple stalls set up to help young locals stay active and stay healthy. The “Youth Mayor’s Stay Safe and Healthy Expo” was an initiative pushed by youth mayor Gerard Felipe, who said he had come up with the initiative in collaboration with local school captains. (“Students team up for Youth Expo”, The Times, 3/12/18) A number of services set up stalls on the day, including Frankston Youth Services, Victoria Police, the Australian anti-ice campaign, SunSmart, headspace, PARC, and the WGKA Langwarrin dojo. Frankston Council community strengthening manager Ken Liddicoat said “events like the Youth Mayor’s Stay Safe and Healthy Expo are crucial to engaging local youth, I hope the event will continue to grow in the coming years.” “Council’s youth service department is dedicated to producing good outcomes and opportunities for our local youth. We have many vulnerable young people in Frankston City who often feel isolated and alone. Events like this show these kids that help and support is available, and easier to access than they might think,” he said.

No room: Frankston councillors have vowed to clamp down on people taking up illegal residency at the Ambassador. Picture: Gary Sissons
‘Crackdown’ on illegal Ambassador residence FRANKSTON Councillors have voted maintain resources to investigate issues and breaches of local law from the notorious Ambassador Hotel. The move was sparked by a November 2018 investigation of the site by council officers, the CFA, and Victoria Police. Council said the visit last year was made due to reports of alleged use of properties for residential purposes “without the appropriate permits”. People and pets were removed from the properties during the visit, a move Frankston mayor Michael O’Reilly said was necessary to maintain “fire safety and the safety of our residents.” “Frankston City Council takes fire safety and the safety of our residents very seriously, and will take appropriate action, where necessary,” he said.
“Through the Country Fire Authority and Victoria Police, Council officers entered the Ambassador Chapel property in November of last year to remove residents and their pets. “None of the agencies enjoy having to undertake this sort of work. Thankfully we were able to immediately connect these residents with local support services and pets were taken into care.” Councillors voted on 29 January to “continue to monitor and investigate issues and or breaches of relevant acts and regulations emanating from the Frankston Ambassador site.” A statement from council encourages people in need of emergency accommodation are urged to contact SalvoCare Eastern on 1800 825 955.

Council accepts Eel Race Road closure Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au CALLS from Frankston Council to stop a level crossing removal project at Eel Race Road have gone quiet. Council unanimously voted in 2017 to write to the state government to “formally oppose the closure of Eel Race Road on a number of grounds including the increase of congestion, particularly on Railway Parade (Seaford), Armstrongs Road (Seaford) and Station St (Seaford)”. The successful motion stated that “the process has once again failed Frankston residents in that no consultation and no justification was evident in arriving at this decision.” Level crossing removal works at Carrum Station are now underway, and despite Frankston Council’s efforts, Eel Race Road is set to close after work at Carrum Station is completed. Councillors were asked to reaffirm their support of keeping the road open at the 29 January meeting, but support had been lost. Cr Glenn Aitken moved that council should rewrite to the state government asking to keep the road open. “It is incumbent of councillors to be consistent and stand by the words that have been uttered in this chamber,” he said. “I can’t see anything that should sway council from its previous case.” Cr Aitken did not receive the required support from his colleagues to keep pushing the issue. Cr Lillian o’Connor said she was “opposed” to reaffirming her support. She said “interfering with state government projects” was unnecessary, as works had begun and there was “no turning back now.” “What’s really important to me is the safety of pedestrians and cars,” she said. Cr Colin Hampton said the state government
project was approved by residents when Labor MP Sonya Kilkenny was returned to office. “We as councillors should listen to what the community has to say. I for one will listen to the majority.” Cr Quinn McCormack said the re-election of Sonya Kilkenny was not solely down to the Eel Race Road redevelopment. The motion was lost 2-6, With only Crs McCormack and Aitken voting in favour. Cr Steve Toms was absent from the meeting. The motion was supported by a public submission from Michael Telleson, who has been a vocal advocate against shutting the road and stood as an independent candidate in the seat of Carrum.
No home for school THE University of the Third Age Frankston is appealing for help to find a new home. The U3A University has been operating out of John Paul College for the last decade, but its lease runs out at the end of 2020. “We have a long and proud history of supporting our older citizens by keeping them involved in both physical and mental activities on a wide range of subjects, all managed and operated by volunteers,” Ian Payne of U3A said “These subjects are as wide ranging as Art, Mah Jong, Rambling, Singing, Digitial Literacy, Wellbeing, History and Current Affairs. We have over 600 members and offer 80 classes a week. “We need help to find a new home. We’ve been a part of the Frankston community for over 30 years and are now looking for new facilities to continue to operate and grow into the future. For the past 10 years, we have had wonderful premises on the campus of John Paul College in McMahons Road. Unfortunately the lease on our present premises comes to an end in 2020. “We would welcome the opportunity to discuss with anyone who has classroom facilities or administration office space that we could lease for a reasonable price.” U3A can be contacted by phoning secretary Bethy Birch at 0455 048 855

Programs for mental health support PROGRAMS to help young people improve their mental health will kick off in Langwarrin on 9 February. Trinity Kids is an organisation that works with children aged from four to eighteen years old. Trinity Kids owner Deanne Ogden said “we facilitate emotional intelligence programs for kids which work to prevent and improve mental health issues in young people. “We firmly believe that if you empower kids with the ability to recognise what they’re feeling, understand and be ok with how they’re feeling, and provide them with strategies to process and manoeuvre through those emotions, then we are able to minimise many of the problems that kids
are facing today. These include bullying, substance abuse, and mental health issues. “Our programs are all age appropriate, engaging and fun and work towards achieving the goal of laying firm foundations that will assist kids well into adulthood. “We have been running programs in Langwarrin for the past 6 months and have had a wonderful feedback from participants and parents alike” They runs classes at the Guide’s Hall in Langwarrin, 209 Warrandyte Road. Trinity Kids also runs programs in Mt Eliza and Somerville. More information can be found at trinitykids. com.au

FRANKSTON Council CEO Dennis Hovenden has conceded that the Oliver’s Hill breakwater project is in major jeopardy without funding from both levels of government. Council pledged $8 million to the project and asked for $8 million commitments from both federal and
state governments. Those commitments have not been made. Mr Hovenden said at the 29 January council meeting that council had been “strongly advocating for matching contributions” from both levels of government, but “if unsuccessful, it is highly unlikely the project will proceed.” $500,000 of federal funding was made available for a completed environmental study on the project. The project was a key issue dur-
ing November’s state election, with the unsuccessful Liberal candidate throwing his support behind the project. No other sitting member or major party candidate from either level of government followed. Drop-in consultation sessions have been held to gauge community feedback on the project over the last month. It has received heavy criticism from organisations such as the Frankston Beach Association.

Disability boost at beach CARRUM Beach has been equipped with floating wheelchairs, mobile hoists, and adjustable beach matting to help make it more accessible to people with disabilities. The matting stretches 70 metres and provides access directly to the beach. The project was supported in part by Push Mobility, an organisation operated by people with disabilities. They helped purchase the equipment for the Carrum Surf Life Saving Club.
The project also received support from Kingston Council and the state government. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “this is such a wonderful initiative, making Carrum Beach one of 10 wheelchair accessible beaches in Victoria.” “By breaking down barriers we are making sure more people than ever before can enjoy our beautiful beach. Thanks to the Carrum Surf Lifesaving Club for their tremendous support.”

New safety measure lights up the Skye “You can’t put a price on safety and these lights will make it easier for the hundreds of students, parents and teachers that cross busy Ballarto Road every day,” she said. The lights on Ballarto Road will replace the existing supervised crossing. The funding also covered the cost of the staff car park being resurfaced. While that project finishes, works on $3 million upgrades to the nation-
al Water Sports Centre in Patterson River have begun. Those works will include the construction of a shared user path from the NWSC to Bonbeach and Patterson Lakes. Ms Kilkenny said “local residents and visitors love this area and the Patterson River. That’s why I’m so pleased that this government is creating such exciting opportunities for greater community use and access.” 12404323-DJ46-18
PEDESTRIAN lights have been switched on outside Skye Primary School to help make crossing the road safer for kids and parents. The lights were put up at the cost of $600,000 by the state government. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “Skye Primary told us they need a safer school crossing and we’ve listened and have invested in the pedestrian lights this school community needs.”

Harbour ‘vandalism’
with Brodie Cowburn and Steve Taylor
Sex offender on the run POLICE are appealing for the public to help them locate a registered sex offender on the run. 37-year-old Joel Pregnell has not supplied police with his residential details, a requirement of his reporting obligations. He was last sighted in Hampton on 30 January in a stolen black Suzuki Swift, number plate 1LY 7UI. Police attempted to approach Mr Pregnell in Hampton, but he escaped in the vehicle. He is known to frequent St Kilda, Frankston, Bayside and the Mornington Peninsula. Pregnell is described as being unshaven, about 180cm tall, with brown eyes, a thin build, and short brown hair. He has a tattoo of a cross on his right cheek. Anyone who sights the man is urged to contact 000 immediately. Anyone with other information about his whereabouts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers. Have you seen this man: Police have released an image of Joel Pregnell and urge the public to call 000 if he’s seen.

Train driver attacked by the rock THE driver of a freight train was taken to hospital after being hit on the upper body by a rock thrown by “young people”, 9pm, Wednesday 30 January. Hastings police said the train was travelling south from Leawarra station towards Baxter when the incident occurred. The driver continued on to Tyabb train station from where he was taken to Frankston Hospital in a stable condition. Rail, Tram and Bus Union secretary Luba Grigorovitch said on Radio 3AW the unprovoked attack was unacceptable and put the safety of both the train’s driver and its passengers at risk. “No one goes to work to be in harm’s way. It’s completely unacceptable,” she said.
Operation Amity gets results THE Australia Day Long Weekend was a busy one for police in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula, with Operation Amity focusing on speed, fatigue, impaired driving, distraction offences and seatbelt compliance. Over the four days – Friday 25 January to Monday 28 January – police breath-tested 1161 drivers and drug-tested 38 drivers. Of these, 14 drink drivers and six drug drivers were charged.
Police also detected 23 disqualified or unlicensed drivers and fined 116 drivers for speeding. Twelve drivers were charged with disobeying traffic lights and 33 were caught driving unregistered vehicles. Three vehicles were impounded. Police also focused on boats and jet skis breaking speed limits and entering no-go zones, as well as checking on safety equipment and boat licences. Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said two serious injury collisions included one in which an L-plater changed lanes on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway, Dromana, causing another vehicle to “take evasive action, lose control and overturn”, 5.45pm, Saturday 26 January. In the other serious incident a motorcyclist ran into a tree which had fallen across Coolart Road, Somerville, 10.30pm, Saturday 26 January. Police also targeted those drinking alcohol on the beach and littering and behaving offensively. They were also on the lookout for hoon and roadrage incidents, drivers using mobile phones, drink drivers and parking offences. Fines are $100 for having an open container of alcohol, $645 for being drunk in a public place and $806 for being drunk and disorderly – with the possibility of offenders spending time in the cells to sober up. Jet ski riders can be fined $317 for breaching speed and distance rules on the water, and $793 for riding unregistered or unlicensed on the water.
The Peninsula Field Naturalists Club is utterly opposed to the proposed safe boat harbour at Olivers Hill, Frankston. The proposal is vandalism of much loved public space. The twin breakwaters proposed would turn public space into an industrial looking breakwater, more like a port facility than the current jetty, which forms part of a beautiful unspoiled vista of golden beaches. It would completely wreck the view from the top of Olivers Hill. Sand movement has not been considered. All infrastructure of this scale disrupts natural seasonal sand movement, leading to bare rocky beaches in some places and unwanted sand build up in others, such as at Sandringham. There are much less damaging and expensive alternatives, such as using an upgraded Kananook Creek for the bad weather refuge and locating the Coast Guard in the under-utilised yacht club. This extraordinary infrastructure is for the benefit of the few - the boating public – and to the detriment of the many – the beach loving public. The work the Coast Guard does is to be commended, but not at any price or at any location. Please everyone, have a look at what is proposed. The scale of it will astonish you. Judith Smart, Peninsula Field Naturalists
Mornington more sensible than Rosebud
People are so gullible. The electrification of the rail line to Baxter was just a thought bubble expressed prior to an election to gain votes. It will not happen. Nor to Stony Point “to meet the ferry”. Now we have another thought bubble: A rail line to Rosebud. An extension of the electric rail to Mornington makes sense. The huge amount of free or cheap land available at Yuilles Road for parking and a bus/ train interchange would make it a lot cheaper and infinitely less disruptive than the same at Baxter. It would pay for itself. The rail easement is already there. If not for some thoughtless (or worse) elected representatives of a previous era, the rail could go all the way to central Mornington like it did for 91 years. How embarrassing. Mornington is a central hub for the district, increasingly so as time goes by. As new residential acreage is settled we will need more goods and services providers such as the proposed Kaufland [supermarket] complex. We already have a lot of petty little industries here and, although our council never pushes for any big job-creating industries to come here, it might happen given that once, when we had tariffs, it was so. Meantime, most of the proper jobs are north, in the big smoke. The need for a rail service to Rosebud for $5 billion? In the winter you’d only need two trains a week. Spend the $5 billion on free taxis for all to Mornington station, for 20 years. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Hunt under pressure in coup fallout Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au JULIA Banks finally broke cover on Thursday last week with an “announcement” that had been rumoured for weeks: she will stand as an independent candidate for Flinders at the May federal election. In doing so, Ms Banks will campaign against her former Liberal colleague, Greg Hunt, who has held the seat since 2001. Adding fuel to the Flinders electoral ire, it was leaked Friday afternoon that Labor’s candidate would be broadcaster and head of journalism at the Australian College of the Arts, Tracee Hutchison. Labor sources would not confirm her candidature, but said the party’s administrative committee would make an announcement Friday (February 8). Statistically, it seems an uphill battle for Ms Banks as Mr Hunt won more than 50 per cent of the primary votes at the 2016 election. Ms Banks says she has yet to determine where her preferences would go, but it would be a strange move to allocate them towards her main adversary, Mr Hunt. Ms Banks – an outsider who won the former Labor stronghold of Chisholm for the Liberals at the 2016 election – believes Mr Hunt has lost support because of his role in last August’s coup that saw Malcolm Turnbull lose his prime ministership. Mr Hunt sought the deputy leader-
ship in the failed bid led by Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton to become prime minister. Ms Banks has dubbed Mr Hunt as Mr Dutton’s wingman. A second round of voting saw Scott Morrison take the helm and keep Mr Hunt as Health Minister and Mr Dutton as Home Affairs Minister. In November, Ms Banks renounced her Liberal credentials and moved to the crossbench, further destabilising the Morrison-led government. On Friday last week, several of Ms Banks’s former parliamentary colleagues were accusing her of betrayal and “seat shopping”. It was also revealed that Malcolm Turnbull’s son Alex is “involved” in her bid to oust Mr Hunt, who holds Flinders with a comfortable margin of 7.8 per cent. It is Mr Hunt’s support for Mr Dutton that Julia Banks believes will give her the votes she needs to win Flinders as well as changes in electorate boundaries and the fact that she’s “not a member of any political elite”. More uncertainty about Mr Hunt’s popularity with voters follows the November state election Labor landslide that saw the Liberals lose the southern peninsula seat of Nepean, which provides a large part of his support base. However, Ms Banks says she is not underestimating the number of Mr Hunt’s supporters and the Liberal Party’s willingness to “put a lot of money in” to ensure his political survival. Mr Morrison on Friday reportedly “laughed off” the threat by independents like Ms Banks while asserting that
Julia Banks Mr Hunt had “worked like a Trojan for his community”. “People in their communities back people who’ve worked for their communities, worked in their communities, ” Mr Morrison said. Mr Hunt’s message on the day, repeated on radio, television and in newspapers, was summed up by the first sentence of a statement issued by his office: “I will continue to work hard delivering for the people of Flinders.” His statement did not mention Ms Banks or why he felt the need to even make a statement. Mr Hunt and Ms Banks (who says Mr Hunt has not spoken to her since September) have both been emphasis-
ing their “local” credentials when interviewed by the media. Mr Hunt was born and educated on the peninsula; his children were born at the hospital where his wife had worked and now attend local schools. Ms Banks and her husband Michael have owned a house at Red Hill for over 20 years. Her parents lived in Mornington for many years: her father until his death in 2007, and her mother until only a couple of years ago. When announcing her departure from Liberal ranks in November, Ms Banks was scathing of “members of the [Liberals’] reactionary right wing” claiming “the coup was aided by many MPs trading their vote for a leadership
change in exchange for their individual promotion”. “Their actions were undeniably for themselves, for their position in the party, their power, their personal ambition, not for the Australian people who we represent, not for what people voted for in the 2016 election, not for stability, and disregarding that teamwork and unity delivers success. “The Liberal Party has changed. Largely due to the actions of the reactionary and regressive right wing who talk about and talk to themselves, rather than listening to the people.” Even though she is standing as an independent, Ms Banks last Friday told The News that she still held to “centre liberal values”, something the coup plotters had forsaken in the name of ambition. She frequently, and admiringly, refers to former foreign affairs minister Julie Bishop, whose political ascendency took a backward step as a result of the coup. Ms Banks says the plotters have never explained their reasons for the coup. “It was all about ambition and self-interest, there was no business case for it. There are still no answers as to why they got rid of Turnbull.” A former corporate lawyer and private enterprise board member, Ms Banks opposes Labor’s proposed changes to dividend tax policy and negative gearing. She is critical of her former party’s about-face on climate change issues. Ms Banks is certain “traditional Liberal voters are fed up; too many politicians take people for fools”.

THE MISSION SONGS PROJECT MISSION Songs Project is an initiative to revive contemporary Australian Indigenous songs from 1900 to 1999, focusing on the Christian missions, state run settlements and native camps where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were relocated. Searching for the family songs that were sung around the kitchen table, Jessie Lloyd explores the day to day life on the missions, settlements and reserves through music. From cultural identity to love and loss, these rare songs consist of almost forgotten stories that can now shed light into the history of our Indigenous elders, families and communities. Performed as a vocal quartet, Jessie presents a rare performance style found only in Indigenous communities; such as family gatherings, social events or yarns over a
cuppa. Story-telling, a major component of the performance, gives historical context and personal experiences into the tunes sung from the missions era, making the show warm, humorous and heartfelt. Mission Songs Project faithfully explores the musical journey of Indigenous Australian music and connects the traditional contemporary, revealing the continuation of cultural practice and song traditions into the 21st century. Mission Songs Project will be performed at Frankston Arts Centre on Friday 22 March, 7.30pm. Tickets are $27-$59. Bookings can be made online on thefac.com.au, over the phone on 03 9784 1060 or in person at Frankston Arts Centre.

Frankston Times 5 February 2019
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Influenza epedemic - shire council acts - local cases quarantined Compiled by Brodie Cowburn A SPECIAL meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council was held on Tuesday night last, when there were present Crs. Murray (president), J. Unthank, Oates, Mason, Hoare and Hoban. The president explained that the Council had been called together to consider the best means to adopt to combat the influenza epidemic. The real article was not in the district yet, and he hoped it would not come. Still, they must be prepared for it, and have everything in readiness in the event of a serious outbreak. The secretary (Mr. John E. Jones) read a communication from the Public Health Department asking what action had been taken by the Council to fight the disease. A reply had been forwarded to the effect that the local health officer, was carrying out inoculation at the various centres throughout the shire, and taking other precautions. Cr. Mason said in sending out the notices convening the present meeting there had been very little time to.spare, and he had done the best under the: circumstances. It was highly necessary that the Council should take definite action in view of the seriousness of the position. He, in company with the local health officer (Dr. Griffeths), had the previous day made numerous visits to various houses in and around Frankston, where it was rumoured that cases of influenza existed, but nothing serious had been discovered. There were other cases, however, of which he had a list, and these were being treated as pneumonic influenza. Cr. Mason then gave details of
the cases, which included several in Frankston (including three at the private hospital, and one each at Carrum and Somerville). Dr. Griffeths, the health-officer of the shire, at the invitation of the Council, then expressed. his views concerning the position. He said he had inoculated at Frankston, Somerville, and Hastings, and also at Balnarring, where 50 men were employed on the Water works. At Frankston on Monday he had inoculated 72 persons, 24 for the second time, and not one had shown any ill effects. It was a prevalent idea, said Dr. Griffeths, that bad effects followed inoculation. Such was not the fact. Damage to health did not follow inoculation, and the serum was the only thing to rely on in the present outbreak. Every effort should be made to effect isolation in every case.of pneumonic influenza. Ally mild case might cause infection, with serious results. No form of the disease, no matter how slight, should be regarded lightly. Inoculation would not give complete immnunity, from the disease, but if an inoculated person contracted it, the attack would be in a much milder form. The pneumonic phase of the disease was its great danger, for pneumonia was the captain of all acute diseases. He had seen mild cases in this shire, and it had to be remembered that the mild develops into the serious. The only safeguard was inoculation. People should be prevented from congregating together in large numbers. Race meetings, theatres, picture shows, etc., should all be prohibited. For local requirements he considered a suitable building should be secured as an isolation hospital in case of need.
President - Is inoculation sufficient in case of contacts? Dr. Griffeths replied: No; not in the case of contacts. Separation and isolation were most essential. Continuing, Dr. Griffeths said he met a man the other day who said he would wait till the disease came to his district before he would get inoculated. That man, said the doctor, would look pretty foolish if he happened to be the first man to contract the complaint. Dr. Griffeths said he had not seen a bad case yet; but Dr. Atkinson, of Frankston, had told him that there were three in Frankston, and that they were in the private hospital. Dr. Griffeths then explained that he had informed Dr. Atkinson that the cases, being infectious, should not have been admitted to the private hospital, and that it would be necessary to quarantine the institution. He also protested to Dr. Atkinson against the practice of allowing the patients to be visited by people outside. He was told that each patient was allowed one visitor. Dr. Atkinson had replied that visitors were allowed to see patients in the Melbourne Hospital. He (Dr. Griffeths) had replied that two wrongs did not make a right, and that the practice of allowing visitors at the Frankston Hospital must be stopped. Cr. Oates: Quite right. Dr. Griffeths: I told Dr. Atkinson if any persons went into that hospital they would have to stay there. Tradespeople could leave their goods at the gate, but should not have contact with any person inside. The Council, said Dr. Griffeths, should pass a resolution for bidding

access to the private hospital, except to sick people. Dr Griffeths said the Council should make immediate provision to provide accommodation for patients, and secure nurses. He believed there were plenty of V.D.N. women who would willingly offer their services. He thought the Recreation Park at Frankston would be an excellent place as a depot, and there should be plenty of tents available. The military authorities, no doubt, would be willing to supply tents or marquees, and perhaps the Defence department would supply beds. In conclusion, Dr. Griffeths expressed the hope that as the result of this meeting immediate action would be taken. President: How would you treat a mild case? Dr. Griffeths: Quarantine it at once, and a severe penalty is provided for breaking quarantine. Cr. Oates: If masks are worn can infection be taken through the eyes? Dr. Griffeths: I can’t say, but should think not. The affinity of the pneumonic influenza germ is for the lungs. Cr. J Unthank asked if the cases which had come under notice had been isolated. Dr. Griffeths: Yes. Cr. Hoare inquired if the butcher at Carrum, who was suffering from the complaint, had closed his establishment. Dr Griffeths: Oh, yes; I think so. Cr Mason said the position of the private hospital in Frankston was one demanding attention. The institution had only received its charter on the understanding that infectious cases, were not to be taken in. The cases now in the hospital had been diagnosed as pneu-

monic influenza in private houses, and then removed to the hospital. Cr. Oates said it was on account of the rumours floating about that he set out to make serious inquiry, with the result that he had obtained the list of cases just read to the meeting. It seemed to him that unless the Council took a strong stand they would have trouble. Preventative measures might seem severe, but it was the only way to stamp out the disease. Dr. Atkinson, of Frankston, should be asked to give firsthand information to Dr. Griffeths (the shire’s health officer) of all cases coming under his care. This would avoid the present unnecessary delay. The private hospital should be quarantined, as there were three serious cases there. He then moved that the St. Pancras Hospital, at Frankston, be brought under the quarantine regulations. Cr. Mason seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Dr. Griffeth - If any person goes into the private hospital now, they will stop in. Cr. Mason - Is there any way of notifying the public that the place is quarantined. Dr. Griffeth—Yes, By written notice on the gate or by flying the yellow flag, but the public will soon get to know. Cr Oates moved, that all private houses where cases of pnueumnoic influenza exist be brought under the quarantine regulations. Cr J. Unthank seconded He thought there were aspects of the position which were more serious to Frankston than to other parts of the shire. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 8 February 1919

Bailing out: Flinders reached their target against Mornington with six wickets and seven overs to spare. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Red Hill win the uphill battle By Brodie Cowburn
PENINSULA
RED Hill have worked hard to surpass their target of 200, as they took on Moorooduc in the second day of their two-day clash. Having finished day one on a high and restarting at 0/43, Red Hill quickly lost their first two wickets and were sitting a little more uncomfortable at 2/52. Simon Dart was their best batsman, as he scored 59 runs batting at number 4 to help guide the Hillmen to a three wicket win. At Ballam Park East, a pitiful Pines performance saw them waste a golden opportunity to defeat Long Island. Chasing just 110 runs to claim a first innings win, no Pines batsman could make an impact, with their top scorer putting just 17 runs on the board. They were bowled all out for a lowly 61. Long Island came in to bat to close out a successful day, scoring 2/32. At Ditterich Reserve, Baden Powell suffered a scare as Main Ridge came close to knocking off their mammoth total. Baden Powell were dominant on day one, finishing at 6/336 at stumps. In reply, Main Ridge showed they had plenty of fight in them. Four of their batsmen registered scored of over 45, Shaun Foster top scoring with 65. Main Ridge came close, but fell short. They were bowled out after 75 overs for 289.
DISTRICT
A BRILLIANT spell of bowling for Heatherhill has seen then scrape out a narrow first innings win over Delacombe Park. Defending a weak total of 112, Heatherhill had their work cut out for them. Things got off to a brilliant start for them as they dismissed Delacombe Park’s opening three batsmen for single digit scores, with Jake Theobald doing the damage. Theobald would go on to take 6 wickets off his 19 overs. He clean bowled their final batsman to knock them all over for 89. Coming in to bat to close out the day, Heatherhill continued their positive play by finishing at 4/127 at stumps. At Roy Dore Reserve, a well batted innings of 80 from Scott Manders was not enough to help Seaford reach their target against Carrum. Manders had batting partners fall all around him, with the other top and middle order batsmen combining for just 22. They finished all out for 146. Despite some good bowling from Isuru Dias, Hastings were not able to defend a target of 120 against Mt Martha. Dias dismissed the opening four batsmen, but his efforts were not quite enough. Mt Martha held on and ended up getting over the line with five wickets to spare. A half century from Billy Quigley
proved the difference between Rosebud and Seaford Tigers, as Rosebud ended up being bowled out with a 41 run lead. The ‘Buds finished at 165 at stumps.
SUB DISTRICT
TOOTGAROOK battled hard to try and reach their target of 287 against Boneo, but ended up falling short in their two-day clash. Things started well as opener Robert French smacked three 6s on his way to a fantastic innings of 70 runs. Middle order batsman Travis French also contributed with a half century, but ultimately they could not drag their side over the line. With eight overs left to play, Tootgarook were bowled out for 225. Skye had a tough afternoon away from home at Carrum Downs, failing to defend their total of 152. Things looked as if they would be competitive, before Ryan Lynch came in for Carrum Downs and put the game to bed. He smacked 11 boundaries on his way to 79. Carrum Downs declared for 164, wanting a chance to bowl before the day was done. Skye fared worse in their second innings, and finished the day at 8/56. Balnarring have let a good chance at defeating Dromana go begging, as they could not chase down an attainable target of 130 at Dromana Reserve. Balnarring were rattled to start their
innings and struggling badly at 3 wickets for 5 runs. They recovered slightly from there but lost their last wickets quickly, going from 3/78 to all out for 112. Zacc Klan took 5 wickets for Dromana. Tyabb performed well against Rye at Bunguyan Reserve to secure a win, surpassing their target off just 52 overs with six wickets to spare. Frankston YCW had a bye.
PROVINCIAL
BAXTER have claimed a rare and comprehensive outright win over Pearcedale, besting them over two innings to claim maximum points. Having declared four runs ahead on day one, Baxter would need to work quickly to dismiss Pearcedale on day two to get a second crack at batting. A middle order innings of 41 from Luke Lowry helped put Pearcedale in with a shot of avoiding the double innings defeat. His side were bowled out for 152. Baxter lost two early wickets in their second innings, and would have to work hard from 2/8. From there they wasted little time, smashing boundaries to reach their target off just 34 overs. Chris Brittain was at his usual best for his side, hitting two 6s on his way to 68. A good partnership between Blake Hogan-Keogh and Neil Barfuss has
helped Flinders claim victory over Mornington. The two put on a near 100 run stand to help Flinders reach their target of 166 with 6 wickets and 7 overs to spare. Langwarrin were almost subjected to an outright double innings loss as well, as Sorrento dominated them at David Macfarlane Reserve. Having set a target of 255 for victory on day one, the Sharks were in a good position. Langwarrin came in and were quickly at 3/11, and things never got much better. Jake Prosser top scored with 21, as his side collapsed for just 64 runs off 27 overs. Adeel Hussain has ruthless with ball in hand, posting career best figures of 8/33 off 14 overs. The Sharks could smell the blood in the water, and sent Langwarrin in again by enforcing the follow on. Hussain again ran rampant with 4 wickets, taking his total to 12 for the day, but Langwarrin held on. At close of play they still had 5 wickets in hand, avoiding a truly nasty defeat. At Harry MacDonald Oval, Peninsula OB were able to defend their total of 267 with relative ease. Their Mt Eliza opponents got off on the wrong foot and lost both openers for just 4 runs combined. They finished all out for 137 off 57 overs. James La Brooy took 6 wickets.

Rosebud joins State 5 South SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie ROSEBUD has had its application to join State League 5 accepted by Football Victoria and it will compete in the South division in 2019. And club president Melissa Osorio confirmed last weekend that merger talks with neighbouring Rosebud Heart are ongoing. “At the moment we’re going through the 2019 season ticking all the boxes and working with Football Victoria and Rosebud Heart and looking to the 2020 season (to merge),” Osorio said. Rosebud returned to competition under the state federation’s banner last year finishing second in Metropolitan 2 South-East. The previous time the club played under the controlling body was in 1984 when it finished last in Metropolitan 4 with just five points from 26 games. Langwarrin finished third-bottom in the same division that season narrowly avoiding relegation on goal difference. Rosebud hopes to consolidate its State 5 status this year and the aim of the merger is to marry Rosebud’s senior setup with Heart’s junior setup. “If the merger comes off we’ll have a very big club with around 400 to 500 members,” Osorio said. “Right now Rosebud has about 35 senior players and last year we had our first successful year with our juniors where we started off with three teams and ended up with six by the end of the season. “The amount of interest that we’ve had makes me think we’ll have more teams this year. “We’re thinking of starting an under-15s or under-16s girls team and our senior women are going to be playing in State 4 for the very first time.” The senior and reserves men’s squads will use both Olympic Park in Besgrove Street and Boneo Recreation Reserve as home venues this year and late last week Rosebud announced that Pat Sabatino had been appointed head coach. “We wanted to wait until we were sure we were in State 5 before making an appointment,” Osorio added. Sabatino, 50, has coached at Keilor Park and Western Suburbs and in 2014 he coached Avondale’s under-20s. His arrival comes after other clubs in State 5 have appointed a coach

and have started pre-season training. “It makes it very difficult,” Sabatino said. When Langwarrin first entered the NPL it faced a similar scenario due to the tardiness of FV in ratifying its inclusion and it was still holding trials when many of its opponents had settled on most positions in their senior squads. As we went to press Sabatino had only held three training sessions and was still in the process of sifting through the players to identify the ones to include in his squad. He also is on the lookout for an assistant and has spoken to two possible candidates. “This Tuesday night we’ll have an intraclub practice match and this will bring us closer to working out who the senior players are,” he said. “Look I’ll be honest with you. We’re miles behind the other clubs.” Sabatino is in talks with State 3 North-West club Essendon United about arranging a friendly and is particular about who his side should play in preparation for its league campaign. “We hope to hear back from them this week and I’m trying to get a feel about who to play in these practice games. “We’re trying to find our feet so you have to be a little bit cautious about who you play.” Luring players to Rosebud will be a major task for Sabatino and the club took to social media last weekend advertising for senior players for both the men’s and women’s teams. “Attracting players down this neck of the woods is a definite problem,
even with the juniors.” Rosebud doesn’t pay any players so it’s hoping to put networking to good use. “Players have been ringing around any other players they know and maybe they’ll be more interested now in coming to a State 5 club.” Another task Sabatino faces is trying to tweak the culture at the club by making the senior squad more competitive. “It’s not a one-season fix. “We need to survive this season and try and attract more players down here.” Sabatino forms a strong link between Rosebud and Rosebud Heart as he is a committee member at Heart and coaches its under-15s. He’s hopeful that the 2019 season can sort out any teething problems between the two clubs and that the merger can proceed. Rosebud has to wait until Saturday 18 May for its much anticipated local derby against State 5 title hopeful Somerville Eagles. Somerville’s co-coaches Scott Morrison and Dave Greening were pivotal figures in Rosebud Heart’s brief time in senior soccer and Morrison is a life member of Rosebud. The clash is scheduled for 3pm at Olympic Park. Meanwhile Football Victoria released its State League fixtures last week. Ground availability issues have wrecked the opening round of the State 3 South-East season with just one match scheduled. Frankston Pines’ league season starts in round 2 on Saturday 30
March against Bayside Argonauts at Monterey Reserve while Skye United’s season starts with a round 3 away clash against Ashburton United on Saturday 6 April. FV has contacted Pines in relation to its request to play home games on Friday nights and the club expects to gain approval subject to a lighting audit to be conducted before 14 March. Whether or not Luke Murray, Tapiwanashe Munyanyiwa and Tuach Ter play for Pines this season is unclear. Murray committed himself to Pines last November but has decided he wants to try and play at a higher level, “Tapsy” is taking time off to deal with personal issues while Ter hasn’t been sighted and is rumoured to be on Springvale City’s radar. The opening round fixtures on Saturday 23 March for local clubs are: Mornington v Malvern City, Dallas Brooks Park, 8pm; Peninsula Strikers v Old Scotch, Centenary Park, 3pm; Dandenong South v Seaford Utd, Tatterson Park, 3pm; Chelsea v Baxter, Edithvale Recreation Reserve, 3pm; Bunyip District v Rosebud, Bunyip Recreation Reserve, 3pm; Old Mentonians v Aspendale, Mentone Grammar, 3pm; Endeavour Hills Fire v Somerville Eagles, Power Reserve, 3pm. Langwarrin starts its NPL2 campaign on Saturday 16 February against Melbourne City at Lawton Park at 3pm while Southern United’s NPLW season gets underway on the same day at Monterey Reserve with a 3pm clash against South Melbourne.

last week. Charlie Conrath, 26, who arrived in Melbourne recently from Brighton in England has played with Ringmer FC and AFC Ringmer as a left winger and central midfielder but in recent seasons has played as a full back. James Liddle, 27, ex-Langwarrin, Barwon and Rosebud Heart, has also joined Somerville and can play in a variety of positions. Liddle was part of the Heart senior team that won every league game in 2016. Fellow State 5 South outfit Aspendale Stingrays drew 2-2 with Dingley Stars at Kingston Heath on Saturday. Playing on an artificial pitch exacerbated already oppressive weather conditions and drinks breaks were required throughout the clash. Triallist Luiz Dobre scored both goals for Aspendale whose best were Sonny Lindsay, Noah Berends and Jack Lindsay. In the earlier match Aspendale under-18s took on Aspendale’s reserves and won 5-0. Meanwhile the seventh staging of the Steve Wallace Memorial Cup was the highlight of last weekend. Moreland Zebras became the first side from north of the Yarra to win the annual event after the final against Langwarrin ended in a scoreless draw, Moreland winning 5-4 on penalties. However it’s unlikely that the Zebras will return to defend their title as Somerville is expected to compete in the 2020 Wallace Cup. Somerville drew 2-2 on Saturday in a friendly against Philip Island in Newhaven with the visitors’ goals coming from Dave Greening and Mark Pagliarulo. This week’s pre-season games: THURSDAY: Langwarrin v Doveton, Lawton Park, 7pm. SATURDAY: Frankston Pines v East Bentleigh, Monterey Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Somerville Eagles v Chelsea, Somerville Secondary College, 1pm & 3pm. SUNDAY: Peninsula Strikers v Collingwood City, Centenary Park, 3pm & 5pm; Skye Utd v Endeavour Utd, Reema Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Seaford v. Aspendale Stingrays, North Seaford Reserve, 1pm & 3pm.
FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard Aussie, Aussie, Aussie: Wez Hunter-trained galloper Curra Kid wins race five at Balnarring on Australia Day. Picture: Picnic Races
Cup day a success at Balnarring “It was an outstanding success. Weather wise it was perfect. It was 24 degrees, sunny all afternoon and you couldn’t ask for better conditions. “We had 4,500 people there and a really well behaved crowd with plenty of families.” Other highlights from the day included three odds-on favourites consecutively saluting from race 3 to race five, kicking off with the Colin Little-trained galloper Plum Pudding ($1.65) who won by a commanding six-length margin. The iconic Australia Day silks were also worn to victory during the successful run of favourites, with the Don Dwyer-trained Sheer Force and the Wez Hunter-trained Curra Kid taking out races four and five. Racing is set to return to Balnarring on Sunday 10 March (Labour Day long weekend) for their next picnic meeting.
THOUSANDS of spectators flocked to the Emu Plains Reserve, Balnarring on Saturday 26 January for the Balnarring Picnic Racing Club’s traditional Australia Day meeting. A field of seven took to the track for the highlight of the club’s season, the Balnarring Cup, where Cranbourne-based trainer Cindy Alderson took out the main event with her lowflying mare My Clementina. Ridden by Maddison Morris, My Clementina scooped the prize to become the new ‘star of the picnics’, winning five straight picnic races - a maiden, Trophy 1, Trophy 2 and two Open Cups, which included the Healesville Cup at her previous start. Overall, Balnarring Picnic Racing Club president Terry Mulcahy said their major day was a raging success and a brilliant day out for all involved. “It was sensational,” Mulcahy said.

“Everyone is flying,” Amado said. “2019 is going to be a big step up year and we are going to try and get six fights in for each of our professionals. “A couple of them only had the two fights last year which is a lot of time between outings so we’re looking to step it up this year.” Following the inaugural Wild Fighters card, Peninsula Boxing looks set for a massive night on Saturday 27 April where Whateley, Higgins and Jai Alexander will compete on the same card for the first time. To add to the occasion, undefeated professional boxers, Alexander (9-0, 6 KO) and Whateley, are both set to fight for titles on the Kings of Kombat card. Whateley will fight for the WBF Australasian Cruiserweight title against Fijian boxer Filimon Naliva Jr (5-0, 4 KO), while Alexander will lock horns with another Fijian, Shamal Ram Anuj (7-1, 6 KO) for the WBF Australasian Featherweight title. Higgins’ opponent is yet to be confirmed.
PENINSULA Boxing will be out to kick off the year in style when they line up in the inaugural Wild Fighter promotions card held at new boxing venue The Timber Yard, Port Melbourne on Saturday 23 March. Commonwealth Games silver medallist and unbeaten cruiserweight boxer, Jason Whateley (2-0, 1 KO), is set to headline the card in his third career fight as a professional. His opponent is yet to be determined but it’ll be Whateley’s first time entering an eight round match-up. Fellow Peninsula Boxer, Lochie ‘Bubba’ Higgins (4-2, 2 KO), is also locked in to fight the “tough as nails” Mark Smith (5-4-2) in a six round battle in the super middleweight division. Higgins will step up into the super middleweight division for the first time but it has been a move which Peninsula Boxing head coach Marcos Amado has planned on making for a long time. Amado said this year will again be an improvement on the last with more targets set to be hit this time around.
