FRANKSTON Basketball Association members hit the streets of Frankston last week to gather support for federal funding for a redevelopment of the Frankston Indoor Basketball Stadium in Seaford. The federal Coalition government has been at odds with the Labor state government over funding for the $20-$25 million redevelopment. See story Page 4. Picture: Yanni
Monkey bikes ban support Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au LETTERS will be sent to Frankston residents to reiterate monkey bikes are banned from public roads and parks in the wake of the Carrum Downs fatality in which mother-of-two Andrea Lehane was killed. The letter will outline the fatal collision on Wednesday 23 September and warn of serious consequences for those
caught riding monkey bikes on public roads or footpaths. Penalties to be imposed on riders – including the possibility of their bikes being confiscated and crushed for scrap metal – will be listed in the correspondence from council. Ms Lehane was severely injured while walking on a pedestrian crossing outside the shopping centre and her life support was switched off two days later. Cr Glenn Aitken said the letter would urge residents to report monkey bike
riders to the council’s Local Laws department so officers can swoop and fine the offenders. Councillors and officers during the week had even considered financially rewarding those dobbing in monkey bike riders, but this was abandoned as not being feasible. “The random nature of it has touched everyone,” Cr Aitken said. That emotion in the community was seen on Sunday night last week (27

September) when thousands of wellwishers gathered at Carrum Downs Regional Shopping Centre with Ms Lehane’s husband James and children, aged three and four, in a vigil to celebrate and mourn her life. Cr Aitken described the vigil as “very moving”. “People came from far and wide,” he said. The strong community support for the Lehane family continues to grow. A crowdfunding campaign to raise money

Petition gets jump on basketball bid Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au
Hawks win flagged
FRANKSTON’S giant gnome standing alongside the Peninsula Link freeway predicted the winner of Saturday’s AFL Grand Final by donning Hawthorn colours on Grand Final Eve Friday last week. The nine-metre high gnome controversially replaced the popular Tree of Life sculpture in July as part of a McClelland Gallery & Sculpture Park program of exhibiting artworks along Peninsula Link. Hawthorn’s colours had been removed by the first bounce of Saturday’s Grand Final. Hawthorn smashed the West Coast Eagles 107-61 to win its third consecutive Premiership. Picture: Gary Sissons
FUNDING for a planned expansion of the Frankston Indoor Basketball Stadium in Seaford is still no slam dunk and the Frankston Basketball Association is ramping up its campaign to lobby for federal government funding for the $20-$25 million project. Basketballers hit the streets of Frankston last Thursday and Friday for a final push to collect as many signatures as possible for a petition to be lodged with the federal Liberal National Coalition government. Basketball Association president Nathan Jolly said he hoped to break the 10,000 signatures mark to give Frankston the best shot of $13 million worth of funding to complete stage one of the stadium redevelopment. He said about 8,100 signatures have been collected so far. “It is exciting to be submitting a public document which will put on the public record demonstrating the support this project has not only from our region, but also from many of our national and international guests who Frankston Basketball has hosted over the past three months who all believe an expanded and better resourced facility will provide immediate and future benefits for our community,” Mr Jolly said. The project currently has $7.5 million of funding secured including $4 million from Frankston Council, $2.5 million from the Labor state government and $1 million from Frankston Basketball.

Taking it to the streets: Frankston resident Louise Williams signs the petition handed over by Frankston Basketball Association member Tash Lesiuk. Picture: Yanni
Billson has been at loggerheads with local state Labor MPs Paul Edbrooke and Sonya Kilkenny over funding for the stadium. In June Mr Billson told The Times: “The previous state government committed $2.5 million to the project. “Frankston Council and the Frankston Basketball Association approached that [Coalition] government for an extra $1.5 million, and during discussions were given the impression that extra funding would be provided.” A first application earlier this year
for $4 million in federal funding was rejected due to a lack of overall funding for the project. A second application for $4 million has been lodged with the federal government and a decision is expected early next year. If successful the first stage of the planned basketball stadium expansion will include four extra courts, a 2000-seat show court and additional program rooms.

UNBELIEVABLE PRICES DON’T MISS OUT! New direction: Federal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson said new signage will be installed on Peninsula Link in time for summer.
New freeway signs – at last Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au ALMOST three years after opening in January 2013, Peninsula Link freeway will get directional and tourism signs that were omitted from the original brief for the $850 million road. The signs come courtesy of intense lobbying by federal Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson and peninsula tourism officials, and will be installed in time for this “year’s peak summer holiday period”, Mr Billson said. About $175,000 of the cost will come from a federal Coalition government grant organised by Mr Billson in what some people will see as an unfair cost burden as the freeway is a private public partnership between the Victorian government and Lend Lease. Peninsula motorists were surprised and disappointed at the lack of directional and tourism signs when the freeway opened. Tourists using the freeway were even more disappointed when they ended up lost or on the wrong road. There were no signs on the four-lane road showing traffic where to exit to reach Baxter, Hastings and the Western Port side of the peninsula. Signs showing drivers how to get to Mt Martha were also omitted. Few tourism signs were erected. In August 2013, Mr Billson said the Coalition government would contribute $175,000 to “refresh and update the ‘Tour Peninsula’ tourist directional signage and to correct location signage errors such as omitting the Baxter township”. Last Wednesday, Mr Billson said “At last, the ‘green light’ has been given by state road authorities to install the much-needed and long-awaited Peninsula Link signs”. “Townships and ... destinations across the
region will finally get the recognition they deserve,” he said. “The signs will make local population centres and key points of interest easier for visitors to find and will help businesses.” Mr Billson said the signs would also improve driver certainty, traffic flow and township identification. In total, 32 new signs will be installed and 14 alterations made to existing signs along the freeway and its approaches between the EastLink tollway intersection north of Seaford and Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Safety Beach. New township directional signs will be installed for Baxter, Langwarrin, Mornington, Mt Eliza, Frankston, Mt Martha, Cranbourne, Tooradin, Portsea, Somerville, Tyabb, Hastings, Flinders and Phillip Island. Mr Billson said there had been an “arm-wrestle over which tourist destinations were judged by VicRoads to be ‘regionally significant’. Signs will point to Frankston Arts Centre, Peninsula Aquatic and Recreational Centre in Frankston, McClelland Sculpture Park, and the Mornington Peninsula wine region”. In January he said there had been “unacceptable delays” in getting the signs installed. “This has been an exasperating experience.” Mr Billson said he was told signs had not been installed during freeway construction because they were not included in the original contract between the state government and Southern Way [Lend Lease] consortium. The PPP contract will have to be altered to reflect the installation of the signs. In 2013, Mr Billson blamed the state Labor government for not including a comprehensive signs plan when it signed off on the private public partnership with the freeway builder, which was managed by Linking Melbourne Authority.

Luke Batty’s death ‘not foreseeable’ Steve Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A CORONER’S inquest into the death of Tyabb boy Luke Batty – and the circumstances leading up to the tragedy – has found that it could not have been predicted. Judge Ian Gray said in a 111-page finding released on Monday that the 11-year-old’s death “was not reasonably foreseeable by anyone – including his mother, Rosie Batty”. But Mr Gray noted that circumstances leading up to the event were exacerbated by “a failure to engage [his father Greg] Anderson in the family violence system and make him accountable for his actions”. He also stated: “Luke’s death, from the practicable point of view, was not preventable from the time he entered the cricket nets to practice with his father.” The Flinders Christian Community College boy was killed by Mr Anderson after cricket training at Tyabb reserve in February last year – an event described by the Coroner as the “tragic death of a young life full of promise”. Mr Anderson was shot by police and died later in hospital. Mrs Batty was at the ground at the time and, after querying her son as to his feelings about being left alone with his father, agreed later she “knew he never believed his dad would ever hurt him, by physically hurting him”. She said she supported Luke having a relationship with his father. Mr Gray found that Mr Anderson had murdered his son, and that the death was preceded by years of fam
Luke Batty
ily violence perpetrated by him on Luke and his mother. He said he was unable to determine the reason for the killing, but noted from Mrs Batty’s evidence that Luke was growing older and wished to withdraw from his father, and that Mr Anderson realised this and wanted to exert control over his son. Evidence to the Coroner that Mr Anderson had a delusional disorder was accepted, but without evidence from a full psychiatric assessment it was found that “no finding can be made with certainty about whether Mr Anderson suffered from any particular mental illness or how he might have been treated”. Mr Gray added: “No person or agency could have reasonably been expected to foresee that Mr Anderson would be that rare perpetrator, nor Luke the rare victim, of a violent filicide.” Chelsea police could have detained Mr Anderson after they spoke to him at a residential address about an alleged violent incident three weeks before he murdered his son but were
unaware of five warrants out for his arrest at the time. The coroner noted: “The Chelsea police officers were not aware of the unexecuted warrants because they were not on LEAP. This was a major system failure and yet another lost opportunity to bring Mr Anderson to account.” LEAP is Victoria Police’s Law Enforcement Assistance Program used by police officers to log incident reports. Mr Gray did note Mr Anderson could have been released on bail by 12 February - the day of Luke’s death - even if he had been arrested by Chelsea police. Mr Gray made 29 recommendations, including that the State of Victoria seek to accurately identify a person’s risk of being the victim of family violence, and a perpetrator’s risk of repeating family violence. Others referred to whether greater weight should be given to the victim’s own level of fear in assessing the risk posed to her and her children. Mr Gray welcomed an expected overhaul of Victoria Police’s methods in treating family violence cases, including the roll out of a Risk Assessment and Management Panels to better assess risk, in the aftermath of the tragedy. He also recommended that all agencies within the family violence system be “sufficiently supported” to provide training and professional development so they can provide realistic and effective violence risk assessments. He described Ms Batty as a compelling witness who clearly was a “loving, careful and thoughtful mother”. “Her decisions were completely motivated by her deep love for her son.
Battery pack theft sparks police hunt POLICE want to speak to a man over the theft of a battery pack worth $2600 from the Hoyts cinema complex in Frankston this month. Investigators have been told the man attended the Wells St complex around 7.40pm on Saturday 19 September. Once inside, he spoke to staff and claimed to be a construction worker who had left some of his tools in the main function room at the complex.

New roundabout ‘a waste’
Proudly published by Mornington Peninsula News Group Pty. Ltd
PHONE: 03 5973 6424 Published weekly
THE $1 million being spent on roundabouts on Wooralla Drive at the St Kilda and Brighton streets intersections, Mt Eliza, is a waste of money, a resident claims. “It seems like there’s no shortage of cash floating around if the shire is planning to build two unnecessary additional roundabouts,” Greg Dixon, of Tower Rd, said. “This mad obsession with destroying roads in the name of some imaginary Black Spot program will increase the danger of this particular section of a key arterial connecting road – particularly as the visibility in both directions is already hampered by an unkempt verge. “It will do nothing to enhance the safety of pedestrians or cyclists wishing to walk or ride along the road.” Dunkley MP Bruce Billson said the Black Spot-funded works would make the road safer. It comes with other grants for a roundabout on Humphries Rd at Walkers Rd ($619,000) and kerbs and bike lanes on Barkly St, Mornington, at Herbert St ($181,000). “Together with $74,000 from Frankston City, the $1.94 million allocation to Dunkley roads in this round will target intersections and sections of road with significant accident and injury history,” he said. The Wooralla Drive and Humphries Rd roundabout projects are designed to reduce collisions involving motorists, cyclists and pedestrians due to excessive speed. The Barkly St project will ensure drivers recognise the Herbert St intersection through improved sight distance.

Where’s the data? Mt Eliza resident Greg Dixon says the Wooralla Dr roundabout is a waste of money. Picture: Yanni
“The chosen projects represent works that deliver the highest benefit to the community for the funds involved,” Mr Billson said. “I have long been advocating for funding to improve safety on local roads, particularly in Mt Eliza where there has been some troubling motorist and pedestrian safety concerns – unfortunately involving fatalities.”
Mr Dixon asked: “Where’s the data supporting the argument for either or both, and when will we get our walking/cycling track? “They have obviously never used the road and I have never seen an accident there and I use the road every day. “I think so much more could have been done with the money.”

THE 80km/h speed restrictions on Peninsula Link freeway near the Baxter twin freeway service centres will revert to 100km/h when the northbound servo is opened, says a Peninsula Link spokeswoman. The southbound servo opened in late July but the speed limit on the freeway remains at 80. In July, a spokesman for service centre owner AA Holdings said it was hoped the northbound centre would be “ready by December”. The two centres are costing AA Holdings about $30 million including two new lanes on a freeway bridge as well as on and off ramps. The final task at the northbound centre will be to asphalt the entry and exit ramps, work which is weather-dependent. The spokeswoman said it was hoped the speed limit could be returned to 100 before holiday traffic began building in December. Southbound traffic has been required to travel at 80 either side of the service centre since it opened. An evening peak bottleneck can occur, but this is minimised by many drivers who ignore the 80 limit. Restoration of the 100 limit will be vital to traffic flow, according to one regular user. “It doesn’t take much to clog it up,” the woman commuter said. “The 80 restriction could be a big problem if it is not lifted by December, especially on the southbound side for traffic heading down to the peninsula. “I can just imagine the snarls that cars towing boats and caravans rejoining the freeway from the service centre will cause. The exit road seems too short for traffic to get back up to highway speed before they need to merge,” she said. The length of the exit ramps is controversial as Mornington Peninsula Shire called for an investigation into its length in 2013 before then planning
Link snarl: Southbound traffic can back up on Peninsula Link at peak times.
minister Matthew Guy approved a scaled-down version of the twin centres in February 2014. The council had earlier knocked back the centres, a decision later confirmed by the state planning tribunal VCAT. Objectors and shire officers said the southbound ramp was not long enough for trucks and towing vehicles to attain a safe speed to rejoin the freeway. “The road safety audit conducted by the service station operators, AA Holdings, stipulates that the speed limit at both service centres should remain at 80km/h until the final stage of asphalting on the ramps is complete,” the spokeswoman said. Peninsula Link, owned by Lend lease, opened on 18 January 2013. Its use peaks over summer, with an average 53,560 trips on all road sections, according to the company. The busiest section is between Frankston-Dandenong and Skye roads, with about 22 million trips in 2014. On several occasions the entire freeway has come to a standstill, notably during the Christmas Day–New Year’s Day period of 2014-15. Being only two lanes in both directions, road accidents can create chaos, especially on the southbound section.
Mum not giving up on blanket MT MARTHA mum Libby Turnbull is at her wit’s end having lost an heirloom blanket made by her great grandmother, and is seeking public help in finding it. “My great grandmother knitted the blanket for me when I was born and the last time I remember seeing it was in Mornington shopping centre,” Mrs Turnbull said. “The blanket is very sentimental to my family. Mum wrapped me in it when I came home from hospital and I have used it for my two baby girls as well.” The knitted lavender blanket has a cream trim around the edge. “I realised it was missing about a week ago as I had just assumed it was in the baby’s pram. I turned the house upside down, visited the police station and all the shops I had been to in the last couple of weeks,” she said. “I ransacked the house, the car, the pram and even looked in strange places that my two-year-old might have hidden it, but no luck. It’s a total mystery. “It might sound silly but it feels like a death in the family. I have always been so careful with it and can’t believe it has gone missing.” Mrs Turnbull says she thinks she has come to terms with not seeing it again – but still holds hope for a miracle, putting her plight on social media and reaching out to the Mornington Peninsula community for assistance. If anyone has seen the blanket or has any information about it, please call 0438 754 929.
Cliff rescue after fall:
A LANGWARRIN man, 17, was rescued by police helicopter after he fell down a Mt Martha cliff, 2pm Monday last week, and suffered an ankle injury. The Police Air Wing winched him to safety from the bottom of a cliff opposite Margeurita Av. His friend, 17, also from Langwarrin, stayed with the injured man until help arrived. He was picked up from the beach by the Coast Guard.

“Nothing of great value was stolen.” But the sense of violation felt by the residents can cut deep. “They feel threatened and violated in these circumstances,” he said. “It’s especially annoying when thieves prey on the elderly.” Detective Vallas said Mornington crime prevention officers had visited the home to advise on improved security measures.

RESIDENTS at a Mt Eliza nursing home slept on as their lodgings were raided by thieves last weekend. Mornington’s Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas said thieves entered 20 separate units at the Osborne Ave premises and pilfered small items, such as iPads and mobiles, cash and jewellery, from eight of the units. None of the elderly residents was disturbed in the overnight raids. “There were no confrontations,” Detective Vallas said.

Monkey bikes ban goes postal Continued from Page 1 Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said the regular fortnightly meeting with police on Monday last week confirmed community awareness and education about monkey bikes is “vitally important”. “Council and Victoria Police officers discussed the recent tragic event that involved the illegal use of monkey bikes and the success of the ongoing strategies in place that have resulted in numerous monkey bikes being seized and crushed over the past few years,” she said. “We will need to work together to get the word out that monkey bikes are unsafe. And parents will need to realise that everyone, in particular children, are unsafe riding monkey bikes in public as they have less awareness of risks and limited knowledge of road rules.” Council’s community development director Gillian Kay said council will impound illegal monkey bikes and owners will be charged a release fee of $757. Bikes will be impounded for six months for a first offence and 12 months for a second or subsequent offence. Riders of unregistered motorcycles may also be charged with being unlicensed and having an unroadworthy vehicle. “In addition, we are writing to the Minister for Police and Emergency Services expressing our concern and seeking more support to address the issue,” she said. Social media was scathing about the earlier lack of police response to their complaints about hoons riding monkey bikes. Many claimed to have
been laughed at or ignored. Frankston resident Tony Martin said he “gave up” calling police after five attempts. “All the response I got was that they were ‘going to send a car around’ but nothing came of it. “They won’t follow up on kids.” Senior Sergeant Ron Barbury, of Carrum Downs police, said calls to police were “always attended to” but those deemed to be not as serious as others are pushed down the list. “They are always attended to, either by patrols or by catching the offenders,” he said. “The decision [of which call to attend to first] is made by a supervisor.” He said an emphasis on community awareness and educating offenders, and their parents, was a key to solving the problem. “The parents are the ones who purchase these bikes which are prohibited under law,” he said. Senior Sergeant Barbury said Frankston authorities had achieved “enormous success” in highlighting the dangers of monkey bikes. Frankston
was the first council – in 2007 – to ban the bikes and have offender’s bikes crushed. “Everyone else is looking at Frankston now to see what it is doing now because it leads the way on the issue. Then it’s up to us [police] to enforce the law.” The Carrum Downs man charged with knocking down Mrs Lehane was refused bail at a hearing at a Melbourne Magistrates’ Court hearing last Wednesday. Caleb Jakobsson, 18, is charged with culpable driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death, failing to stop after an accident, failing to render assistance after an accident, unlicensed driving and driving an unregistered vehicle. Magistrate Frank Holzer reportedly told the court Jakobsson could face a lengthy prison sentence if found guilty of culpable driving. He will reappear in the same court next year.

WHAT’S claimed to be a Victorian record blue fin tuna was caught just outside the Heads by a Mornington angler Wednesday. Abalone diver and keen fisherman Aaron Crocombe hooked his 163.65kg catch using a Pakula Mouse lure 9.30am and had it in the boat 20 minutes later. The regular big gamer – a member of Snapper Point Angling Club - was with mates on a Pro-line Charters boat out of Sorrento when the fish struck. “I knew it was a big one but it’s hard to know how big until you get it in the boat,” he said. “We put it up against another tuna already on board and realised it was a beauty. I was using a harness and I’m still a little sore.” Fishing since he was “knee high…” – and a serious game angler since 2009 – Mr Crocombe isn’t one to rest on his laurels: he was packing Thursday for a trip to tuna-haven Robe, South Australia, “where the big ones are”. Snapper Point Angling Club’s John Beasy said the tuna was the first caught from a boat out of Sorrento. He told TheTimes another fishy story: “The story goes that a larger one was hooked, fought for two hours, broke the rod and was lost at the boat the previous Sunday”. Mr Crocombe is happy his was the one that didn’t get away. Stephen Taylor

Former shire CEO wins port job Mike Hast mike@baysidenews.com.au THE shire’s former CEO Michael Kennedy has been appointed interim CEO of the Port of Hastings Development Authority following the resignation of Mike Lean last week. Mr Lean has taken a job in the transport industry in Geelong near where he lives. He was appointed head of the revamped port authority in February 2013 when the Baillieu Coalition government decided to begin longterm planning for an expanded container port at Hastings, which was due to open as early as 2025. In April 2013, the former ports minister (and new premier) Denis Napthine announced $110 million over four years for logistics, scientific, economic benefit and other studies. (Former premier Ted Baillieu had resigned on 6 March.) The port authority lost funding late last year when the ALP won office and downgraded the expansion plans. In a statement, authority chairman Yehudi Blacher said Mr Lean had “brought outstanding leadership to the role and a genuine desire to advance the future of the Port of Hastings for Victoria. A strong feature of his tenure has been his genuine commitment to transparent engagement with the community in relation to the future of the port”. Ports minister Luke Donnellan said he “appreciated [Mr Lean’s] work in repositioning the focus on the Port of Hastings”. Mr Blacher also announced the appointment of Michael Kennedy.
New role: Michael Kennedy.
“Dr Kennedy was until recently the CEO of the Shire of Mornington Peninsula. Dr Kennedy brings a wealth of public and private sector knowledge to the authority with particular expertise in local government management and the transport and shipping industries,” Mr Blacher said. Mr Donnellan welcomed the appointment. “I look forward to working with Michael during his period as interim CEO.” Dr Kennedy was shire CEO from 1999 till November 2014, almost 16 years. In August 2014, the shire’s 11 councillors told him they would be advertising his job for the first time since his appointment in 1999. He decided to apply but did not make the short list and quit.
THE Victorian Squash Country Individual Championships will be held on October 10 and 11 at the Tonic Squash & Gym Centre and Labor candidate for Dunkley Peta Murphy will be defending her title. Ms Murphy won the women’s title last year and hopes to put in a good effort at this year’s event. “I have been playing squash since I was 12, and play in the Mornington Peninsula pennant league for the Dromana club, having played state grade for Victoria in the past,” said Ms Murphy, who works as a barrister. “Last year was the first time I have won that title, but had won the over 35 Australian Masters Championship, and the US Masters for 35 years and over in 2012.” While her preparation for the event has been minimal, Ms Murphy is going full steam ahead in the last week to get ready. “I have been coming off a really long layoff with injury but am back now and working to prepare for the event this week,” she said. “By hook or by crook I am going to get myself there to compete.” The squash championship is being held at Tonic Squash and Gym, 50 Collins Road, Dromana. Call 5987 1766 for details.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
New Buick touring cars arrive in Mornington Compiled by Melissa Walsh A DANCE will be held in the Langwarrin Hall on Wednesday evening next, given by the members of the Langwarrin Social Club. *** WORD has been received by Mr G. Shepherd, of Somerville, that his son, (Wheeler Frank Shepherd) is ill in the hospital at Malta. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual Somerville market on Wednesday next, when they will offer horses cattle, pigs, poultry and sundries. A good yarding is expected. *** A meeting of the Somerville Patriots’ League will be held at Somerville, in the Horticultural Hall, on Monday evening, for the purpose of electing officers, and general business. *** MR A. Rivett, of Somerville, met with a nasty accident a few days ago, while driving some sheep that were trespassing out of his paddock. He tripped and fell on his shoulder on a stump. On a visit to Dr Maxwell on Monday it was found that he had fractured the cap of his shoulder bone with partial dislocation of the joint. *** IN consequence of the cancellation of the 4.37pm train to Frankston, on Saturday, on and after today, (9th inst) the mail on that day will be due per train as under :— Mordialloc, 4.46 p.m; Aspendale, 4.50; Chelsea, 4.5 ; Carrum, 5 4; Seaford, 5.7 ; arriving at Frankston at 5.14 p.m.
*** AN illustrated lecture will be held in the Somerville Horticultural Hall, on Tuesday evening next, under the auspices of the local Red Cross Society, entitled “Wattle Time”, or “Yellowhaired September”, by A. J. Campbell Esq. The lecture will be illustrated by 70 superb views—Songs will be rendered during the evening. *** THE Peninsula Motor Garage, Pty. Ltd. notify by special advertisement that they have secured four new up to date “Buick” touring cars, and having secured the services of two first class mechanics, are prepared to execute all repairs entrusted to them. They are also agents for the Buick cars, and are prepared to sell same, the prices of which are quoted in advertisement. *** MESSRS T R. B. Morton and Son will sell at their rooms, 72 Swanston street, on Thursday next, at 3 o’clock, 155 acres at Bittern, situated two and a half miles from Bittern Railway station, opposite Seagrove Estate. Also at the same time, 55½ acres of land fronting the Narrican Creek, being Crown allotment 178, Parish of Moe, Gippsland, situate two miles from railway station. *** THE news of the death of Mr Charles Martin, of Frankston came with something of a shock to the residents as he always appeared to be a strong healthy man, and during his residence of some 8 years in the district he enjoyed the best of health. It appears that a few
days before his death he contracted a severe cold, which developed into pneumonia, from which he gradually sank and died on the 23rd, at his mother’s residence, Essendon. He leaves a wife and two sons to mourn their loss. *** THE contractor for the addition to the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, has finished his contract, and the building as it now stands is quite an ornament to that part of the town. The additions are done in brick with red tiled roof and consists of two large rooms in front of the old building 22ft x 21ft each, with a hall 22ft x 8ft between them. One of the rooms is intended to be used as a library, the walls of which are surrounded with shelves, on which there will be ample room to store the present library with considerable additions thereto. The second room can be used as a committee or reading room. At the rear of the building and abutting on the stage an additional room, 11ft x 14ft has also been erected, which will be found of great convenience to concert companies as a retiring room. Each of the new rooms have a fireplace in them, and gas installed, and when properly furnished will prove of great benefit both to the public and to the committee. *** VICTORIAN School Children pay for Half a Hospital. The Defense Department is establishing a Hospital at Caulfield for wounded soldiers. The Executive Committee of the Education Departments’ War Relief Fund at its recent meeting unanimously
decided to give £10,000 towards the erection of Wards, — these wards to be named “The Victorian State School Children’s Wards.” Each of these wards, 24 in all, will cost from £800 to £1000 to build and equip, so that the offer of the school is to pay for practically half the hospital. At the very least the young patriots will be providing for 300 wounded. Miss May Cox the secretary to the fund, clearly points out that the children will have a special interest in their own men, and it is certain these will not go short of comforts. From October 2nd to October 9th each school in the State will make a special effort to raise the balance of the sum voted. The week will be known as Hospital week. Last season 20,000 leeches were supplied to Melbourne hospitals by Victorian State School children, who donated the cash gained, to their School Patriotic Funds. Dr J. A. Leach organised the movement. The Doctor is now appealing for 6,000 additional leeches to him care of Teachers’ Training College, Grattan street, Carlton. He also wishes to inform frog collectors that their market is glutted, and he trusts they will turn from “frogging” to “leeching,” *** A large crowd gathered at the Somerville Stadium on Saturday night to witness the bout between the two lightweights “Wingie” Meldrum and “Queenie” Lewis, as a ding-dong “go” was expected. Meldrum entered the ring fit and
well and turned the scale at 9st 8lbs. Lewis turned it at 9st 4lbs and appeared rather nervous. J Webb acted as timekeeper, while S. Meldrum and “Pluto the Groom” were Meldrum and Lewis respective seconds. Billie Hutch was promoter, while “Bill” Lang acted in a capable manner as referee. The contest was very onesided; Meldrum landed his blows with effect, while Lewis hit out wildly (for home). However, Lewis went down in the 3rd round, and Bill Lang counted the (Euroa) Don out, and amidst cheers, declared “Wingie” the winner. *** A well-attended working bee was held at the Rosebud Recreation Reserve when new gates were placed in position and a considerable amount of clearing was done. The Committee hopes that with continued support, the reserve will be made an attractive resort for both residents and visitors. During an interval, refreshments were served by some of the ladies, whose efforts in this direction were much appreciated by the workers. Should the improvement of the Reserve be far enough advanced by the Christmas holidays, it is probable that the grounds will be “officially opened” at a Sports meeting in aid of the Rosebud Patriotic Fund, and some donations have already been promised for that purpose. “Advance Rosebud.” From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 9 October, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The long and short of shorts By Stuart McCullough THE birds are chirping, the scent of cut grass fills the air and – low and behold – the blue sky has finally emerged from its winter hibernation. There’s no denying it: spring is finally here. Hooray! For a time it seemed as though winter would never end. As if art and real life were getting all mixed up and some kind of Game of Thrones-style epoch-enduring cold snap would be with us forever. And then, just like that, the veil was lifted and sunlight poured in. I, for one, could not be happier. Goodbye over-sized jumpers, hello t-shirts! Hats, sunglasses – I love so many of the accoutrements a warmer climate has to offer. There are limits, naturally. I know that some people love to wear shorts. I am not one of those people. As a consequence, almost no one on Earth as ever seen my legs. Rest assured for those who have imagined what they might look like, they are whiter than white and, if viewed with the naked eye, may inflict significant damage to an unprepared retina. Indeed, they’re so pale as to be nearly luminescent. In an emergency, ships could be guided to shore, using my exposed legs in place of a lighthouse. Frankly, I’m doing all of you a favour by keeping them hidden. As a result, I have never been and am unlikely to become a shorts-wearing champion. My problems with shorts began, like most problems, in childhood. While some might argue that shorts have a long (ironically enough) and proud history, the nineteen seventies must
PAGE 28
surely constitute a dark chapter that even the most ardent of short defenders must concede is a stain on their reputation. In actual fact, the seventies pretty much waged war on trousers generally, regardless of the length of leg involved. But the shorts were particularly memorable. They reached half way up your torso, almost render-
Frankston Times 5 October 2015
ing the need for a wedgie redundant. There was a split at the side to reveal more flesh than the hem would otherwise permit. And then there was the piping, glorious piping, swimming around the edge of the garment, framing the middle of your body. Somewhere along the line, piping went out of fashion if, indeed, it was ever in
fashion to begin with. Maybe that’s where my aversion to shorts began. Granted, I wore them at school, but always felt vulnerable. There is something inherently unnerving about shorts. They require eternal vigilance lest you should end up revealing more of yourself than you ever intended. Wearing shorts to school was something done under sufferance while wearing long pants all year round was a recipe for disaster; guaranteed to mark you out as some kind of freak. I wore shorts to conform rather than for comfort. For me, finishing school wasn’t just about reaching adulthood. It was about never having to wear shorts again. My father, however, had a different view. There are two types of adult shorts: the casual and ‘the special occasion’. The former involves pretty much anything with two leg-holes that doesn’t fall down in public. The latter is a very different beast. Possibly a warthog. Or a Wildebeest; albeit one that’s impeccably groomed but a Wildebeest nevertheless. My father was once fond of formal shorts; the kind that require a belt (preferably white) and look like they belong to a suit that comes with a Pith helmet. Were it up to my father, he would doubtless describe them as incredibly stylish. However, he has no say in that matter and I, in stark contrast, would describe his formal shorts and nothing short of horrifying. Even with the benefit of hindsight, to say nothing of extensive therapy, I cannot think of a situation where formal shorts are required. Under what circumstances is it
appropriate to wear an item of clothing with all the inbuilt pageantry of shorts with a belt and still expose your hairy kneecaps? The cold hard truth is that no such event exists. Not now. Not even in the nineteen seventies. Perhaps my father’s shorts weren’t shorts at all. Maybe they were a time machine. It just might be that when I saw my father strut out into the living room in his formal shorts, complete with belt and replete with a threat to leave the house and inflict this image on the world at large, I saw the future. This, I would have concluded, is what the future holds for me. I decided right then and there that I would do everything in my power to avoid such a fate, even if it meant strapping on a pair of 501s on a forty-degree day. Discomfort is a small price to pay. Now that the warmer months have arrived, there will be all kinds of pressure. If the weather permits, next time I’m in Tyabb, my father will drag the two inflatable boats down from the shed. Christened the ‘Canoe Reeves’ and the ‘Salma Kayak’, these two vessels will be pressed into service on the lower dam. He keeps them, I suspect, just in case he wants to go up a certain creek without a paddle. But it’s not for me. Piloting the Canoe Reeves would necessitate a change of clothes. Piloting a boat demands either short pants or flared trousers. The long and the short pants of it is that I just can’t bring myself to do it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com
The Red Hill – Merricks Rail Trail By Lorraine Aitken Tucked away in the hinterland of Red Hill is a well-worn trail that predominately follows the former train line from Red Hill South - Merricks station ground. It is popular with walkers, mountain bike riders and (to my children’s delight), horses. The 6.5km trail starts from behind the Epicurean Centre in Red Hill South on a wide dirt trail that slowly descends and takes in views across undulating farmland, vineyards and Western Port until you reach the turnaround point or coffee stop at the Merricks General Wine Store. As the name suggests the trail was formerly a train line which originally ran between Bittern and Red Hill from 1921 – 1953 to transport stock, timber, fertiliser, firewood and produce such as apples, pears and strawberries to the city markets. Although the Southern Peninsula only had an estimated population of 1,500 people in 1912, the annual turnover of 12,000 head of stock and 12,000 tons of farm produce mixed with poor roads saw the need arise for a train. In 1915 permits for the train line were granted, however it wasn’t until after World War One that works began and the line was offi-
cially opened in 1921. The advent of motor transport led to the line being unprofitable as passenger numbers declined substantially from 1929 and services were reduced until the train line eventually closed in 1953 before being dismantled in 1955. Over time a section of the train line became private property and there is a slightly steeper deviation to the original trail. The relaxed pace of this trail is perfect for families looking to enjoy the countryside without the effort of finding suitable trails for bush-
walking with strollers. Although the trail surfaces varies somewhat with gravel, dirt, crushed rock, grasses and at times mud you will still get a three wheeler pram along the trail without too much difficulty and older children will enjoy riding their bikes. When we were on the trail we spotted giant bright red toadstools among a blanket of pine needles, horses in nearby paddocks trotted up to the fence line to greet us, some cows were enjoying the lush pasture, wild rabbits that seemed fairly tame,
rows of vines, an array of native flowers, locals enjoying a stroll with their dogs and a few horse riders that stopped to say hello before trotting on down towards the equestrian grounds at Merricks. Despite there not being any bushland as such there is plenty to see along the trail and it’s always nice to have the kids out in the fresh air exploring the environment and challenging them to remember some of the local history learnt along the way. To further the history lesson you
need to look no further than the Merricks General Wine Store which was built in 1924 to provide locals with supplies. The Mornington Peninsula Cellar & Pantry was the original post office and the Epicurean Centre was the packing shed for apples that were taken to Crib Point and shipped. The Red Hill – Merricks Rail Trail has an important historical place in the development of the Mornington Peninsula region and is well worth an afternoon stroll.

SALON DES REFUSÉS THE exhibition described as the “irreverent and playful rabble-rouser of the Archibald’s” the Salon des Refusés” is coming to Victoria – and Mornington – for the first time. The exhibition showcases what’s described as “the ones that got away” – meaning those artworks that were not granted a showing in the famous Archibald Prize. They include a prized selection of the “humorous, innovative, mad, bad and dangerous entries that were too fabulous to resist”, say Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery organisers, who take delight in hosting the only showing in Victoria. The works, torn from obscurity, include portraits of Robert Forster, Catherine Martin and Carlotta, sculpture of a homeless man by Paul Trefry that was shown in the Wynne landscape prize, portrait of Greek Consul-General Dr Starvos Kyrimis, as well as Christopher Pyett’s sensitive portrait of Australian of the Year, Rosie Batty. The Salon des Refusés was begun by the S.H. Ervin Gallery, in Sydney, in 1992, in response to the large number of works entered into the Archibald and

The silly season begins NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt THE 2015 Nepean League season was another tightly contested one and the final five went down to the very last quarter of the final round. After years of domination from Sorrento, the baton was handed over to Rosebud, the 2015 premiers. Rosebud was the most consistent side all season, while its grand final opponent, Somerville, was undoubtedly the most exciting side of season 2015. It was a fitting grand final. However, despite the fact it’s been just two weeks since the cup was held aloft, attention has quickly turned to the 2016 season. Right now, coaches’ phones are running hotter than any other time of the season. This is a snapshot of what the coaches would be looking for. Rosebud: First and foremost, the Buds need to find themselves a coach. Just one applicant for a job that saw the seniors win the flag, the reserves go into the second week of finals and the Under 19s losing two matches in two seasons. The Buds also need to find replacements for their best two players, Jason Bristow and Rob Forrest, both of whom found the travel difficult. Star forward Tom Baker is being hotly sought-after by Sorrento. Somerville: The Eagles just need experience. Some cool heads to control the excitable list. A mentor for coach David ‘Budda’ Hirst would also be a welcome recruit. No offence at all to the guys on the bench now, however, a fresh, experienced set of eyes to support Hirst on the field and off it would be the best recruit the Eagles could get. Look likely to lose Cal Dixon but have secured bull Ben Crowe. Expect a major signing later this week. Sorrento: The Sharks have lost three of their best players in Troy Schwarze (retired), Tyrren Head and Leigh Poholke (Karingal). They won’t be easy to replace. Talk is Daniel Grant and Myles Pitt would like to travel. Jon Croad will become the dominant player in the competition in 2016. Rosebud premiership coach Nick Jewell takes the reigns. Sorrento always lands a big name or two and this pre-season will be no different. Luke Tapscott is coaching the Under 19s. Red Hill: The Hillmen are just so close to challenging you can taste it. The Hillmen need a key forward, tough, experienced midfielder and a ruckman. If the boys on the hill can land those, as well as keep their list (talk is B&F winner Paul Wintle is considering retirement), they will head to the third week of finals in ‘16. Word is they are close to getting the ruckman they are looking for. Hastings: Hastings wasn’t a happy place at the end of the season. What’s required is for those who don’t want to be there to disappear and those that do put their heads down and have a crack. Taylor and Kain Stratton go to Crib Point. The Blues keep Shaun Foster
and Matt Clifford and word is they have some ‘good’ connections that might help the Blues land a few more. Rye: The Demons need to find depth. As the 2015 Team of the Year suggested, their top-end players are elite and the best in the competition. Throw in the likes of Brady Egan, who is also elite but just missed out on the best 22. A ruckman would be more than handy, as would another key defender. They need Ben Holmes to do a preseason and be right for the year. If not, they need a key forward also. Devon Meadows: The Panthers were the big improvers of 2015, especially in the back half of the season. A ruckman is the number one priority for the group, while they’ll be looking for more improvement from some of the teenagers who played in the reserves flag. Expect some recruitment news at this club. Frankston: The Bombers will kick of their year on Good Friday at Frankston’s Kars St Oval. Former Carlton and Brisbane Lion Brendan Fevola will be the drawcard. The Bombers need some key position players. Sam Drake, their best player, is heading overseas. Coach Beau Muston would have realised just how far off his side was in 2015 and what needs to be gained in the off-season. Dromana: Expect the Tigers to improve in 2016. I think it’s unfair though to simply assume that everyone who left the club is going back because favourite son Rikki Johnston is coaching. The fact is players are getting well paid elsewhere (and played in premierships) and the Tigers’ probably can’t afford to get them back. Their Under 19 premiership team was littered with stars and it’s time to rebuild. Pearcedale: The Panthers kickedoff the pre-season announcing Chris Irving as assistant coach. There will be some other names to add to this list in the coming weeks and coach Jamie Merchan is confident of landing some big fish. Merchan has a very clear strategy and the recruitment of kids is high on the agenda. Troy Jacobson and Alex Harnett return from Dolphins and Lachy Marshall has recommitted. Crib Point: There will be a buzz around the Magpies’ camp this preseason with a new coach in Taylor Stratton. The Pies were ravaged by injury this season and were a massive slider in 2015. If they can maintain their list and get them all through a pre-season, the Pies should enjoy a rapid rise in 2016. Tyabb: The Yabbies had a year of building up the cash reserves. Hosting the finals would have given them a nice cash injection. However, no point having the money if you don’t get recruits. The Yabbies need to land themselves a coach with a profile who can bring some players along for the ride. Magpies set to fly: If they can hold on to players, Crib Point is set for a great 2016.

PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW made it five Peninsula League premierships in six years last Sunday. The big question coming from the mouths of spectators and opposition clubs as they were walking out of Kars St Oval was “how do we compete”? It’s a very good question. Mt Eliza may have finished as minor premier but Frankston YCW was clearly the best side in the competition in 2015. Going into the finals, we were all hopeful of a challenge but deep down, we all knew the final result would be 10-goals plus. It was 87 points. Clubs now get to work over the coming months to build a plan to challenge the Stonecats. YCW will lose some players to opposition clubs, however they have strong reserves and Under 19’s chomping at the bit for an opportunity. The champs will also look to bolster their stocks with some recruits. The Stonecats have pockets and flankers that would walk into most team’s midfields. They have key position players standing on a wing. Fact of the matter is that YCW will not slide – they’ll be the benchmark again. Personally, I think all clubs are playing for second again at this early stage. Here’s what the other clubs will be looking for to try and bridge the gap. Mornington: The Doggies need another key forward to support Jackson Calder. Dale Whelan is a genuine leading forward but the Dogs need another weapon inside the attacking arc. Defensively they structure up well with Miller, Nolan, Symes and Haddock. A couple of 6.2’ runners would be handy. Mt Eliza: The Redlegs have reappointed coach of the year John Georgiou and now they need to lock in their existing stock. Justin Van Unen is a key, as are the likes of Lobardozzi, Gill, Booth, D’Orazio and Landry. The Redlegs need to add a genuine ruckman. They also need to get Scott Lockwood up and going again. Another key defender and forward would be icing on the cake. The Redlegs season came to a halt when Lockwood went down with a knee. Edi-Asp: The Eagles need some players with some body size. The team is gifted in terms of talent but light on. Good on the spread but pushed off the footy in close. Can’t afford to lose the likes of Kremmer, Garth, Tagg, O’Hanlon, Clark, Meehan and Mullins. Need another big key defender,
ruckman and a couple of mids to allow Mavric and Tim Mannix to play on flanks. Pines: As much as we’d like to see Guy Hendry play at a higher level, Pines can’t afford to lose him. They have arguably four of the best 10 players in the comp in Beau and Guy Hendry, Aaron Edwards and Luke Potts. The Pythons are brilliantly coached by Pat Swayne. Depth is the issue and they just need to add some B-graders to bolster the list. A full back would be handy too and another genuine gun midfielder. Brad Kiely from Langwarrin/Dolphins signed with the Pythons on Wednesday. Langwarrin: Most important thing is to appoint a coach. Clubs are circling Langwarrin and if they don’t lock someone in soon, they could be in strife. The club needs to build around the likes of Gerard Brown, Matt Naughton and Nick Hammill. The club needs to be given some life. Bonbeach: The Sharks lost a heap of players in the 2014-15 off-season, however, still managed to compete very well. They need some height and some class. There is a lot of grunt in the team but some genuine star factor is required. Seaford: Seaford has to be congratulated. They cast the net far and wide for a coach and spoke to anyone and everyone. They have landed with three time grand final coach at East Brighton Ben Murphy. There is nothing but positiveness in-store for the Tigers. A few recruits, which Ben is sure to bring, along with Rourke Fischer, and they are back in the mix for a finals berth again. Chelsea: The Gulls are yet to reappoint Brent Guerra at this stage. One wonders whether the investment in an AFL premiership player could be better spent on building on the list with a handful of recruits. Todd Gardiner is a star but he needs support. Rosebud premiership pair Rob Forrest and Jason Bristow have been linked with the Gulls. Karingal: The most exciting club of the pre-season so far. The Bulls have landed Sorrento premiership players and 2015 Team of the Year stars Leigh Poholke and Tyrren Head. Former star Bulls Duncan Proud, Cal Dixon and Chris ‘Cocky’ Hay are also being linked. Head has a shoulder and this will be a concern. On Wednesday night the Bulls signed Seaford youngsters Mark Czarnecki and Rhys Chadwick, along with Matt Tarr. Anthony Joel has also returned from Rye.
