On the road

ON Monday, Alan Chambers set off to tackle a 15,000 kilometre journey in his 1978 Volvo 244. Mr Chambers, a Frankston South resident, is hitting the road to celebrate the 40 year anniversary of the Round Australia Trial, won by legendary race car driver Peter Brock in 1979. He is joined by close to other 50 others who will undertake the journey. “We’re setting off to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Repco Reliability Trial,” Mr Chambers said before the big trip. “We’ll be setting off on Monday, travelling 15,000 kilometres. Back then they did it in 15 days, but we’re going to do it in 30.” Drivers set off for the journey from Melbourne Showgrounds, with the first car driving away at 9am.

Pokies still plague Frankston Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au GAMBLERS in Frankston lost over $62 million on poker machines between July 2018 and June 2019. Figures from the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation released last week showed just over $62.25 million was lost on

electronic gaming machines in the Frankston municipality in the last financial year. This is a small drop from the $64.62 million lost the previous year. Frankston punters lost nearly $14 million gambling at the Seaford Tavern in the last year, while the Sands Tavern also raked in a little over $10 million. Losses on EGMs at the Frankston RSL totalled a little below

$10 million. The losses put Franskton inside the top 20 municipalities statewide for losses on pokies. The neighbouring Kingston area ranked ninth for money lost on gaming machines per municipality, while the Mornington Peninsula Shire ranked 11th.

Community helps get dog back on feet A GENEROUS outpouring of support has helped to save the life of a dog injured in a car accident last month. On 19 July, a car collided with a tree in Langwarrin. Ambulance Victoria and CFA crews from Frankston and Langwarrin attended and rendered assistance to the man driving the car, before they turned their attention to injured American Staffordshire Ernie. Ernie, seven years old, was rushed to hospital suffering from a ruptured spleen. CFA station officer Sam McDonald said the dog was found “motionless” in the back seat. “I saw the dog in the backseat. He was awake, but totally motionless,” Mr McDonald said. “Being a dog owner myself, I knew straight away that he wasn’t well.” “The poor thing would’ve been thrown around the car pretty badly. He was getting extremely anxious seeing his owner walking away, so we lifted him out of the back seat and laid him on the ground. “His breathing was laboured, he was very limp, and he was really starting to deteriorate.” Staff from Karingal Veterinary Hospital took Ernie away to surgery, and removed his spleen successfully. To help Ernie’s owner pay for the surgery, a crowdfunding page was set up to help foot the bill. Thousands of dollars were raised, and Ernie has now been reunited with his owner. Ernie’s owner took to social media to thank those who contributed to help save Ernie’s life. “To all my magnificent friends who were responsible for saving Ernie’s life, I love you all and after I recover anything I can help with please just ask,” he said. Ernie’s owner is now out of hospital after sustaining a number of injuries in the crash.

Pleas to save trees

FRANKSTON Council will make a plea to the state government to have greater protection placed on red gum trees. Council voted on 22 July to make “representation” to the Premier Daniel Andrews, energy minister Lily D’Ambrosio, planning minister Richard Wynne, Aboriginal affairs minister Gavin Jennings, and local MPS “requesting a special significant classification be placed over the native Red Gum (Eucalyptus Camaldulensis) population in the municipality of Frankston City. Of particular importance are the more mature trees ranging in age between 100 years and in excess of 500 years.” The passed motion also noted that “given the life span of this species (around 1000 years), the older trees occupy a highly significant place in both landscape and history, pre dating European settlement, and therefore are an irreplaceable living link with traditional owners of this land to the present day and, as such, should be enshrined as part of the national heritage.”

Consulting on consultation SUBMISSIONS are open for the public to have their say on Frankston Council’s draft community engagement policy. Ratepayers can have their say on how council engages with the community before making decisions. One initiative that would be implemented as part of the draft policy is an annual consultation session in Frankston Central and Heights, Frankston North, Seaford, Carrum Downs, Skye and Sandhurst, Langwarrin and Langwarrin South, Frankston South, and Karingal. To view the draft and make a submission visit frankston.vic.gov.au. Submissions close 5pm 21 August.

KINGSTON Council has voted to note that a provision of over $2 million has been made to refund parking fines to ratepayers. Earlier this year, council announced it would refund fines to residents after finding that their appeals process may have been improper. Kingston Council had outsourced their appeal process for fines to an external agency between 2006 and 2016, a process that council later believed was in violation of the Infringements Act 2006. On 22 July, Kingston Council voted to “note that appropriate provision has been made in the financial statements for the 2018/19 financial year and long term financial strategy, $2,048,920.73.” Council also voted to “receive a further report in July 2020 regarding the effectiveness of the Parking Infringement Reimbursement Scheme.” Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said earlier this year that “it is common for councils, and potentially some state agencies, to outsource the issuing of infringement tickets to an external contractor, however there have been concerns raised that the legislation may not allow external agencies to conduct appeals.” “In 2016 we received advice that, although the

wording of the act wasn’t clear, our processes were acceptable. We wanted to remove any confusion and since 2016 have conducted all reviews ourselves. However, we recently received updated advice and council now believes that the introduction of the act meant the final decision of the review should not have been outsourced, and that council rather than its contractor should have undertaken the review,” she said. “For that reason, we want to be fair and transparent and therefore will be refunding appealed fines during the 10 year period,” she said (“Parking fines will be refunded, The Times, 6/3/19) Earlier this year, Frankston Council declared its intentions to refund $111 worth of parking fines after a review into their parking fine appeals process. Frankston Council confirmed that they had worked alongside an external agency, Tenix, to manage their parking fines between 2007 and 2014. The mayor Michael O’Reilly told The Times in May that “council will be briefed on the outcome of the information that has been reviewed. Council will need to consider how it wishes to move forward with this matter.”

Push for park one step closer PUBLIC land in Evelyn Street, Frankston is one step closer to being made a park. Councillors voted on 22 July to call for a “report to the August 2019 ordinary meeting on the option to formalise Evelyn Street as a public park.” The motion was carried unanimously. On 18 February, council voted to negotiate the sale of the Evelyn Street land to the Department of Justice in a vote that was intended to take place behind closed doors. Councillors voted to bring that debate into the public section of the

meeting. On 3 June the decision to sell the land was reversed. Crs Kris Bolam, Sandra Mayer, and Brian Cunial voted in favour of negotiating the sale of the land in February, and switched sides in June to vote in favour of retaining the land as open green space (“Sale of Evelyn Street open space stopped”, The Times, 11/5/19). The parcel of land is across from the Frankston police station. Brodie Cowburn

Confused about the right blinds for your home?

Rail set for under road THE state government has announced the removal of three level crossings on the Frankston line has been brought forward, with works now touted to be completed by 2022. It was announced on Sunday, 28 June that works to remove level crossings at Edithvale Road, Thames Promenade, and Argyle Avenue would finish by 2022. The works will send the rail under road. The Frankston line will be lowered into a trench at those three locations, rather than raised above ground with elevated rail like in neighbouring suburbs. Premier Daniel Andrews said “fast tracking the removal of these dangerous crossings will reduce congestion and disruption, and get locals home safer and sooner.” “Creating a more direct road network will enable level crossings at Swanpool Avenue and Chelsea Road in Chelsea to be closed. Lochiel Avenue in Edithvale will also close once works are complete. These changes will remove the current congestion hot spots caused by boom gates

and the dangerous dogleg at Chelsea Road,” he said. “The boom gate free intersections along the Nepean will be upgraded with turning lanes, so there is more green time for motorists, improving traffic flow, getting traffic off roads to provide more reliable journey times.” Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said “streamlining connections between the freeway and the Nepean will have huge benefits for our growing community, now and in the future.” Plans for a new look Carrum Station were also revealed. The station has now been bulldozed, and is not set to reopen until 2020. A temporary rail track has been installed at Carrum Station, allowing for trains to pass through without interruption.

Project plans: Designs for a revamped Carrum Station have been revealed.

Garage sales to help ‘reduce waste’ PRE-REGISTRATIONS have opened to take part in the 2019 Garage Sale Trail. The trail, which takes place in October, is an annual event which encourages residents to reuse their items and reduce waste by hosting and attending garage sales. The Frankston Treasure Chest at the Frankston Regional Recycling and Recovery Centre hosted a sale for the trail last year. The centre’s gatehouse operator Di Shingles said “it’s a brilliant event and will stop a lot of reusable items from entering landfill. We often find ourselves drowning in

possessions we don’t use anymore, so we end up throwing them out with little thought about where they end up.” “It’s important to remember that your unwanted items could be a treasure for someone else. Not everything has to end up in landfill,” she said. Langwarrin resident John Stoermer said “I come to the Treasure Chest every day to see what I can find and there’s always little hidden gems to be found.” Frankston mayor Michael O’Reilly said “whether you’re a household, a student, community group, a whole street, school or even a local busi-

ness, you can fundraise for a cause or make yourself a few extra dollars.” “This is council’s second Garage Sale Trail, last year taking an outstanding achievement award for its involvement and ranking 12 out of 150 councils participating,” he said. “We had a mammoth 213 garage sale events registered in Frankston City last year with 5,802 people taking part equating to 531 kilograms of items being reused and saved from landfill per event.” Registrations at garagesaletrail. com.au

Police patrol

with Brodie Cowburn and Stephen Taylor

Time for a reset POLICE Operation Reset held over the weekend was aimed at encouraging drivers on the Mornington Peninsula to reset their attitudes towards road safety. This is part of an effort to reduce the unexpectedly high number of lives being lost on our roads. Southern Metro Region Acting Commander Tony Silva said Operation Reset provided a “highly visible presence of police with a particular focus on known road trauma locations”. “We are incredibly saddened by how many lives have already been lost in Victoria’s south east this year, with 24 people not returning home to their families,” he said. This is double the number of lives lost at this time last year. Acting Commander Silva said “something needs to change to address the ever increasing number of people losing their lives on our roads in the south east.” “We are seeing reckless speed, failure to give way and impaired driving as they key contributing factors to fatal collisions in the south east,” he said. “Not arriving at your destination isn’t worth the five minutes you gain from speeding or not driving to the conditions.” Police made sure they had a visible presence on the highways, backstreets and off-road locations to ensure motorists thought twice about their behaviour. “Every time a motorist sees police on the road it is a reminder to follow the road rules.”

Viral vandal caught A WOMAN has been charged after allegedly vandalising a number of properties in the Frankston CBD.

FIRST Constable Nicole Dalzotto administers a breath test as part of Operation Reset

Police allege the women graffitied properties between 29 and 30 July. The alleged graffiti messages were shared widely on social media last week. She was arrested on 31 July and charged with criminal damage, wilful damage, mark graffiti and commit indictable offence whilst on bail. She was bailed to appear at the Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 13 December.

Not wasting time THE partner of a man who allegedly blew more than three times the legal limit blasted police for “wasting our time”. Somerville Highway Patrol members pulled over the 51-year-old Skye man in McClelland Drive, 9.15pm, Wednesday 31 July. After blowing positive he was asked to return to Carrum Downs police station for an evidential breath test. There a woman “became abusive towards the testing officer, setting a poor example for the young teenage girl in the back seat”, Senior Constable Greg Wolfe said. The man blew 0.159 per cent – or more than three times the limit – and had his licence immediately suspended. When they were

leaving the station the woman “again started swearing and abusing the processing officer in the company of the teenage girl”. Senior Constable Wolfe said her philosophy “appeared to be that police were wasting their time doing this to them, and should be out catching criminals instead”. “The officer rightly pointed out that the highway patrol was specifically tasked to reduce road trauma, and that removing her drunk driver from the road was helping do just that. “He also suggested she take a tour of the trauma ward of a major hospital to see the results of what could happen as a result of drinkdriving.” The man’s new company car with only 300 kilometres on the speedo was impounded. He will be summonsed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Pedestrian dead A WOMAN has died after being struck by a vehicle in Skye, 29 July. Emergency services attended the intersection of McCormick’s Road and Ballarto Road at around 6pm. A woman, believed to be in her 80s, died at the scene. Police had not determined the exact cause of the collision as of 29 July. A man is assisting police with their enquiries. The death takes the state’s road toll up to 173 in 2019. Anyone who witnessed the collision or anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A MAN who allegedly twice rammed police patrol cars spent the night under guard in Frankston Hospital before fronting Frankston Magistrates’ Court last week. Police cornered the 21-year-old around 1.30am, Thursday 1 August, in a Moorooduc Highway service road near Humphries Road, Frankston South. They said he deliberately reversed the stolen car he was driving into them and attempted to run off but was caught after a brief chase. Police searched the vehicle and allegedly found a quantity of knives and stolen number plates. They said the man had earlier rammed a police car in Frankston South and attempted to ram two others in Mornington and Hastings earlier in the night. No police were injured in the incidents. The man, of no fixed address, was interviewed by Frankston CIU detectives on Thursday morning and on Friday was sent to Melbourne Magistrates’ Court for a filing hearing. He is facing 25 charges – most relating to the alleged ramming incidents – as well as theft of a car, three of theft from cars, unlicensed driving, reckless conduct endangering life, dangerous driving, possessing methylamphetamine, resisting arrest, breaching bail, intentionally ramming police, and dangerous driving.

Frankston local area commander Inspector Paul Cripps said “dangerous driving has been identified as one of the key concerns for members of the Frankston community.” “Drive Safe is a great opportunity for local police to build positive relationships with young Frankston drivers, as well as start a conversation about the effects of dangerous driving,” he said. “The number of lives lost so far this year is concerning and shows we cannot afford to be complacent about safety on our roads.”

SES members celebrate milestones MEMBERS from the Chelsea SES are among those that have been recognised at the VICSES central region annual awards night. SES members Ron Fitch and Daniel Alpel both received recognition, earning a national medal for 25 years of service. Phil Wall also received a medal for 15 years of service. Members Bruno Antolini, Scott Davidson and Evette Davis received medals for ten years of service, while Prashikha Chhetri and Bryan Greene received medals for five. The awards night was held at the Mulgrave Country Club, Saturday 27 July. SES member Phil Wall said “overall there is 105 years of service between all of us who received medals. It’s amazing.” Central region SES units attended nearly 13,000 calls for help in the last year.

Recycling woes hit Kingston FOR the second time this year, recycling from the Kingston municipality has had to be diverted to landfill. Kingston’s recycling service provider SKM shut its doors last week, leaving over 30 councils statewide scrambling for ways to save their recycling from ending up in landfill. Around 30 tonnes of Kingston’s recycling was sent to landfill before an interim arrangement was made by council to have their recycling processed by an alternate provider, Polytrade. Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said “it is extremely disappointing that Kingston, and many other local councils across Melbourne, has been impacted for the second time this year by the temporary shutdown of recycling contractor SKM.” “Kingston Council has responded quickly to the current shutdown and has arranged for an alternative recycling facility, to accept half of Friday’s recycling and all of our recycling for processing as of this week. As a result, we have minimised the amount of material to go to landfill, to a total of 30 tonnes,” she said. “While this is not a permanent solution and we wait to see what the outcome will be for SKM, I am glad that we have been able to arrange for the bulk of Kingston’s recycling to be processed during this time. “I look forward to hearing an announcement from the state government about how they will use the waste levies they have collected, to ensure the continuity of the recycling industry in Victoria.” Cr Oxley urged residents to “continue to put out their recycling bin with confidence that their efforts to sort their recycling material is not wasted”. Frankston Council is unaffected by the SKM closure. They have their recycling processed by Solo Resource Recovery and Polytrade. Brodie Cowburn

Garden and rural setting for top design A “UNDERSTATED and simplistic” house in rural Dromana has been awarded the building design of the Year. Moat’s Corner was praised by the judges for its understated and simplistic design as well as its emphasis on ensuring views of the manicured gardens and natural vegetation can be seen from every angle. Results of the annual Building Design Awards - formerly known as the Building Designers Association of Victoria (BDAV) Building Design Awards - were announced on Saturday 27 July at the National Gallery of Victoria. Designed by the Vibe Design Group, Moat's Corner is described as acting as a centrepiece within two hectares of manicured gardens on the 21.4ha property at the corner of White Hill and Dunns Creek roads. The house has “clean lines, a soft colour palette, and natural materials”. Award judges said they were impressed by the “understated simplicity of the design and its innovative use of space and superior finishes”. "Moat's Corner is an outstanding example of how thoughtful design can create a visually bold result, while crafting a functional home for a growing family,” panel member Ingrid Hornung said. "Its elevated structure and floor-to-ceiling windows offer exceptional views of the natural surrounds; it is a sleek and contemporary home, built to last." Vibe’s lead designer Michael O'Sullivan said the home's slim line roof, raised floor and entry on the west side offered a “transparent and picturesque outlook of the pool and surrounding gardens from every angle”. "The site's gardens are close to 100 years old, so it was important our design embraced the views and brought these into the home,” he said. "The design for Moat's Corner is all about bringing a sense of ease and effortlessness - that modernist ethos - which we believe can change how people live, and that's what we are all about."

Jail time for audacious business tax claims A SOUTH Australian man has been sentenced to 2 years and 4 months jail for attempting to obtain nearly $1.5 million in refunds he wasn’t entitled to. Mr Adam Hamshere, 39, used his accounting knowledge to set up a fake business. He obtained an ABN, and later registered for GST and Wine Equalisation Tax (WET), claiming he sold cigars. On 31 March 2016 Mr Hamshere lodged five business activity statements (BAS), claiming he was entitled to GST and WET refunds of $1,444,069. Unsurprisingly, this attracted the Australian

Tax Office’s attention. ATO systems flagged this claim initiating an audit almost immediately. Mr Hamshere’s brazen behaviour didn’t stop there, he subsequently rang the ATO almost a dozen times asking for his refund, and during the audit claimed his paper and electronic records had been stolen. Detailed investigations could find no evidence of business activity, nor evidence of Mr Hamshere’s claims that all of his paper and electronic records had been stolen. Mr Hamshere was charged in Adelaide District Court with six counts of section s11.1 & s134.2(1) of the Criminal Code 1995 as he attempted, by deception, to dishonestly obtain a financial advantage from the Commonwealth. Acting ATO Assistant Commissioner David Mendoza said the strong sentence was a fitting result for such an audacious attempt to cheat the tax system. “Those people who try to evade or cheat the tax and super system will get caught and we will take firm action. We will not tolerate this type of behaviour. “The tax and superannuation systems are valuable community assets owned by all Australians and we all have a role in protecting them.” Mr Mendoza said. If you are aware of fraudulent behaviour in our community you can report it confidentially at ato.gov.au/ tipoff or call 1800 060 062.

OVER 1500 women in Victoria aged 50–74 may have breast cancer and not know it- and 43 of them are living in Frankston. Data from BreastScreen Victoria has indicated that the screening rate in the area is sitting much lower compared to the Victorian average. In fact, in Frankston City, only 48% of women aged 50 to 74 had a breast screen between July 2015 and June 2017. Screening mammograms can detect breast cancer early and increase chances of survival, but BreastScreen Victoria’s CEO Vicki Pridmore says almost 280,000 women across the state have not had their recommended screening mammogram in the past two years. “We need to significantly increase the numbers of women screening and in turn reduce the numbers of women dying from this disease,” says Ms Pridmore.

“Breast cancer is the second biggest cancer killer of Australian women, yet only half of all eligible women in the BreastScreen Victoria target age group are being screened regularly. A breast screen can find cancer as small as a grain of rice, long before a woman or her doctor can see or feel anything.” But there’s good news- BreastScreen Victoria’s mobile screening van has arrived in Frankston! Residents can receive a free breast screen without a doctor’s referral or Medicare card. All screens are conducted with a female radiographer and only take ten minutes. BreastScreen Victoria’s mobile screening van will be at 81 Young St, Frankston (car park next to Young St Medical & Dental) from 5 to 16 August 2019. Call 13 20 50 or visit www.breastscreen.org. au for more information or to book.

Kodachrome ….. Me & Julio… & his ground breaking African inspired Album ‘Graceland’. ….Call Me Al……Graceland his work is a varying palette of brilliant stylistic expression. This celebration performance was initially inspired by Simon & Garfunkel’s legendary

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mr. S. Lawrey recovering after operation Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR S. Lawrey took suddenly ill last Saturday. He was hurried to the Melbourne Hospital where an operation was performed and the patient is now progressing favorably. *** Frankston residents were delighted to welcome home this week Privates Cyril Twining, and Eddie Barton. Both soldiers had several years active service. *** Cr C. M Griffeths was not present at Thursday’s Council meeting. He is still ill suffering from gastric influenza. *** Mr W. J. F. Boake, L.D.S., B.D.Sc., dental surgeon, notifies in another column that he will visit Frankston every Wednesday, and may be consulted at Messrs Brody and Mason’s rooms. *** The Frankston Branch of the Protestant Federation will hold a public meeting and social on Friday, August 22nd in the Mechanics Hall. They have secured the services of Rev J. C. Farquhar, as well as local speakers to address the meeting. *** Attention is directed to an advertisement of the Manufacturers Bottle Company of Victoria Pty. Ltd., which appears in our advertising columns, giving notice to bottle dealers and others, that all bottles with the trade mark and brand “M.B. over C.V.” in a spade, moulded thereon are their sole property and when the contents are once used, the bottles must forthwith,

on demand, be returned to the company or its duly authorised agents. *** The monthly meeting of the Mechanics’ Institute Committee was held on Monday evening. There were present – Mr P. Wheeler (chairman) Crs Oates and Mason, Messrs W. W. Young, A. E. Lasslett, W. C. Young and the secretary (Mr C. Dalman). It was decided to accept the amended tender of Mr Stephens for repairs to hall, £35, subject to the approval of the architect, Mr Ward. An application was received from the “Welcome Home” Committee asking for a reduction on rent of hall on the occasion of the last social as the lights were turned off at 10.30, causing great inconvenience and disappointment. It was resolved that an allowance of 10s be made and that a demand be made on the Gas Company to refund the amount. The “Wattle” Club asked for a refund of portion of the amounts paid for hire of hall for social functions. The secretary was instructed to reply stating that the Committee could not make refunds. *** Today at 2.30pm Messrs Brody and Mason will conduct a sale on account of Mr G. W. Booth at the old iron garage, near the Frankston Railway station. The inventory includes a useful lot of sundries particulars of which are advertised in another column. ***

On Sunday last a large party of invalid soldiers from Caulfield Hospital were entertained at Frankston by the “Wattle” Club. The visitors arrived in motor cars kindly provided by the Melbourne Automobile Club, and were welcomed by Mrs C. Dalman, vice-president, in the absence of the president of the “Wattle” club, Miss Gregory. Afternoon tea was provided in the Mechanics’ Hall and an interesting musical program was rendered at intervals. The hall decorations were much admired, and altogether the soldiers were provided with a very pleasant outing. The Committee of the Wattle Club desire to thank all who so kindly contributed to the success of the gathering and particularly to those who made donations in cash and kind. *** The annual council elections take place on Thursday, 28th August. Nominations must be lodged on or before Thursday next, 14th August. Contests are practically certain in the two new Ridings – Frankston and Seaford. Cr Turner retires in the East Riding and Cr Longmuir in the Centre Riding. They both offer themselves for re-election and there is no present indication of opposition. In the Frankston Riding there are three seats to be filled, and in addition to Cr Oates and Mason, who are standing for re-election, Messrs F. H. Wells and J. Nott Marsh have announced their candidature. At present the definite contestants

for the Seaford Riding are Messrs Howell, Armstrong and Latham, while Cr Hoare and Mr McCulloch are also mentioned as certain to nominate. In the Cranbourne Shire, Mr Berry is to oppose Mr Griffith for the seat in the Tooradin Riding vacated by Cr Lloyd. *** Repatriation Returned Soldiers are invited to apply to this Committee for advice before entertaining business proposals of any kind. Employers are requested to notify the Committee of any vacancy suitable for returned men. Persons having businesses or property, &c., to sell suitable to Returned Soldiers are earnestly invited to communicate particulars to the Committee. W. P. MASON, Hon. Sec., Repatriation, Frankston. *** Hastings Public meeting to be held on Saturday, 16th. See advt. School opened on Wednesday, after being closed for six weeks on account of diphtheria.

Allen (father of Hastings footballers of that name). Miss Romeo acted as accompanist in an accomplished manner. Great praise is due to all the above named, and also to Misses Unthank (3), Murray (2), and Grant (2). These ladies and gentlemen are continuously giving their services for patriotic movements. The Hastings football team, at the most critical time, are likely to lose the services of two of their best members, in Mollison and Foster. Efforts are being made to retain them. F. Jack, who has just returned from the front, played his first game since returning, and was a power in the team. Rumors of a big event in aid of The Local Soldiers’ Memorial on Boxing Day next. The final balance sheet and reports of Committee re Peace Day Celebrations show expenditure £9 14s. The day was devoted mainly to the entertainment of children, with a social at night for adults. A large number of helpers provided lunch, tea, and supper. Hastings young ladies are waking up. Something big in the way of concerts is coming along shortly. Miss Nellie Nichol has taken over the agency of “The Standard” in Hastings. Copies can be obtained at her dressmaking establishment on Friday evenings after arrival of train. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 9 August 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Blindsided by a Christmas Cake Catastrophe By Stuart McCullough IT’S over. Despite my best efforts, there’s little left to do but concede defeat. As someone who is freshly vanquished, it’s never much fun to have to pull the white flag out of the second draw of the dresser, give it a quick iron before hoisting it high for all to see. As indignities pile up like sedans on the Monash in peak hour, I must feign graciousness as my brother steps forward to claim the glory that is now indisputably his for the taking. If only I‘d saved my Christmas cake a little longer. Each year, my brothers and sisters and I receive a Christmas cake. The challenge then is as to which of us can keep said cake the longest. I’ll admit the playing field if far from even – one of my sisters has four teenage children and her cake is unlikely to survive the trip home in the car. My brother Cam and I are especially competitive. He’s always had a gift for hoarding. At Easter, we’d inhale our eggs within the first three minutes, before spending the rest of the day in a near-catatonic state from the sugar. Six months later, he would produce an uneaten Easter egg from his room. The supply seemed endless. As a younger man, my Christmas cake never survived January. In fact, I can recall moments in my life when Christmas cake was all I ate in summer. This would then be a source for shame when my brother would casually enquire whether I had any left. When I conceded I didn’t, he’d respond provocatively by saying that he was yet to start his. As I was flooded with shame, I’d vow that next

year would be different. Last year, I made it to March. Using super-human willpower, I ensured that I still had a piece when my brother made his customary enquiry. When I declared that I did, he sorrowfully informed me that his was gone. To celebrate, I immediately devoured

the last piece before receiving a text message from my brother with a picture. It was, so he claimed, his last remaining piece of Christmas cake. It was a trap and I had been duped. This year I was determined. March came and went, and I still had cake to spare. April, May and June were

no different. For the first time ever, I reached July which, in cake-eating terms, is pretty much the equivalent of a gastronomic Mount Everest. Suddenly, making it through to the end of the year seemed possible. What I didn’t count on was the unexpected. Fate or, possibly, my mother in law, intervened. My mother in law sprained her ankle. Badly. After a trip to the emergency department, she returned to our house to convalesce for a week or so. I returned home from work one evening to find my wife, waiting, ashen-faced and asking, ‘Were you saving that last piece of Christmas cake?’ Somehow, the question made my decision to preserve a piece of cake as long as possible sound very important. Bigger. Suddenly, a polite contest with my brother was being recast as a decades-old rivalry between siblings so fierce that Romulus and Remus would consider it extreme. Yes, I answered. I was saving it. I’d left it in a plastic container on top of the fridge for months. By keeping it out of my line of sight and somewhat hidden, I had assumed it was safe. I was dead wrong. My mother in law had eaten it. How someone on crutches managed to find their way to the top of the fridge will forever remain a mystery. Not a crumb remained. It had been devoured, vaporized out of existence. All that was left was a small scorch mark where a piece of moist, fruity icing-laden Christmas cake had once stood. I immediately texted my brother to concede defeat. He immediately replied to claim victory.

I was beaten. But despite being totally vanquished, I had no plans whatsoever to mention any of this to my mother in law. There was no point. Besides, how was she to know? It’s not like I’d labeled it as ‘Private’. The fact that I give her a cake of her own each year so she doesn’t eat mine is irrelevant. Next year, I’d do things differently by increasing security. Within moments I was punching in my credit card details to purchase the state of the art CMI Security Cabinet 1500 with 6 millimetre steel plate door that appeared custom-made to keep mothers in law away from your Christmas cake. If nine hundred bucks seems a lot to outlay to protect a piece of cake, I can only say that it’s very nice cake. As a rule, I let sleeping dogs lie; unless, of course, I trip over them in the dark on the way to the bathroom. My wife and her sister, however, openly wondered whether the my mother in law’s consumption of the Christmas cake was not so much an honest mistake as it was some kind of ‘power play’. I’d rather not know. This week, my brother sent through a photo of his last remaining piece. I assume he was about to eat it. Next year, I’ll do better. I’ll lock my cake in my new safe that I’ll bury in the backyard before concreting over the top and moving house, to throw hungry relatives off the scent. You can’t be too careful. If that sounds over the top, I can only say that nothing tastes as sweet as success. Other than cake, of course. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Tigers show bite in fiery contest DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn PINES have slumped to their second consecutive loss after being defeated by Dromana on Saturday. The out of form reigning premiers played host to the Tigers in what would prove to be a tense afternoon. Dromana got the jump early in an even first quarter, and had established a handy three goal lead halfway through the second term. Tensions bubbled over just before half time when Pines defender Guy Hendry wiped out his opponent with a massive bump in a marking contest. The hit fired both teams up, and after a short scuffle Dromana continued to play with fire in their bellies. The Tigers continued to flex their muscles in the second half, and eventually ran away to a hard fought 28 point win 8.8 (56) to 12.12 (84). Ben Holmes booted six goals in his second match back for Dromana. Aaron Edwards booted four for Pines. The loss saw Pines slip further away from top of the ladder Sorrento, who defeated Bonbeach with ease. Star forward Leigh Poholke was at his best for the Sharks, piling on ten goals for the afternoon. Bonbeach didn’t have an answer for him all day. After a close first quarter, Sorrento stretched their lead in the second term

and didn’t look in danger of losing. Sorrento proved to the competition that they are the team to beat with a comfortable 56 point win. They defeated Bonbeach 19.7 (121) to 9.11 (65). At Regents Park, Frankston YCW cemented themselves in fifth place on the ladder with a win over EdithvaleAspendale. With just two weeks remaining in the home and away season, the victory puts the Stonecats in pole position for a finals berth. Both sides traded blows in a high scoring first term. Eleven goals were scored between both sides in the first quarter, but it was EdithvaleAspendale who went into the break with the narrow advantage. The Stonecats swiped back in the second quarter, establishing a 21 point lead heading into the second half of the match. Edi-Asp kept in touch with a big effort in the third quarter, but YCW proved just too good in the end. They ran away with the win after a five goals to two final quarter. The Stonecats had to work for it, but eventually claimed all four points with an entertaining 13.9 (87) to 18.14 (122) win. Luke Paynter scored four goals for the winning outfit, while Lachlan Wallace was also named among the best. Rosebud’s finals hopes were dealt a

major blow this weekend, as they were defeated by Mt Eliza. The Redlegs got the jump early in a scrappy first term, and heading into half time had a five goal lead. Rosebud had a frustrating time in the first half, only putting one goal on the board. Rosebud had further trouble in the third term, adding just two more behinds to their score. They improved in the final quarter but it was far too little, far too late. Mt Eliza looked the better side all day, and claimed the four points with a 4.7 (31) to 11.11 (77) win. Shane Tennant scored four majors for the Redlegs. At Greg Beck Oval, Frankston Bombers proved to be too good for bottom placed Mornington. The Bulldogs worked hard all day long, but were overrun in the final term. The final score read 12.10 (82) to 8.10 (58). With their percentage so far behind Edithvale-Aspendale, the Bulldogs will likely need to win their remaining two games for the year to avoid relegation.

Hastings save finals hopes DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn HASTINGS have kept their finals hopes alive with a thrilling come from behind win over Seaford. A win for the Tigers away from home at Thomas Barclay Oval would have put them two games ahead of Hastings and in a good position heading into the last games of the year. A loss for Hastings would have effectively ruled them out of finals contention. Seaford started strong with a three goals to zero first term, but Hastings fought back in the second. Seaford overturned the two point deficit in the third quarter, and were up by nine heading into the final term. Hastings had to claw their way back, but eventually secured the narrowest of wins over Seaford. The final siren sounded with Hastings up by just a point. The final score was 8.12 (60) to 8.11 (59). Brendan Fevola kicked two goals for the Blues. Another side battling hard for a finals position is Somerville, who secured an easy win this weekend over Crib Point. Somerville were impressive from the get go and booted 16 first half goals. The Magpies looked outclassed all day, and never got close. They eventually succumbed to a whopping 160 point loss to Somerville 3.7 (25) to 29.11 (185). Paul Fermanis booted six goals for Somerville, while Ryan Gillis scored five. Gillis now has 52 for the year. After this weekend’s games, just percentage separates Somerville, Seaford and Hastings in what will be a

thrilling battle for fifth place. All sides are equal with ten wins for the year. At the top end of the ladder, Red Hill put together another good defensive display and defeated Devon Meadows. The Panthers struggled and scored just two goals all afternoon. A five goals to zero final term sealed their fate, as the Hillmen got the win 2.5 (17) to 9.15 (69). Daniel Allsop was named best on ground, keeping up his stunning run of form. Karingal had a little more trouble as they took on Tyabb, but still secured a win to keep in touch with the top of the ladder position. Lowly Tyabb worked hard all day on the road against the Bulls, but just couldn’t do enough to get the job done. The final siren sounded with Karingal 28 points ahead 8.10 (58) to 4.6 (30). Marc Holt had another quiet day for the Bulls, kicking just the one goal. It was an easy day for premiership smokies Langwarrin, as they thrashed Pearcedale by over 100 points. Pearcedale could only manage two goals for the day, as the Kangaroos dominated them. Matthew Peyenborg booted six goals for Langwarrin while Zach Andrewartha scored five. Their side got the win 2.6 (18) to 23.15 (153). At RJ Rowley Reserve, Rye played host to Chelsea. The home side worked hard and the contest looked as if it might go down to the wire with both sides level at three-quarter-time. Chelsea got the job done in the final quarter, and claimed the win 6.9 (45) to 9.8 (62).

Late Baird strike stuns Werribee SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie A SIZZLING injury-time winner from import John Baird gave Langwarrin its best win of the season against visitor Werribee City at Lawton Park on Saturday. The former Scottish professional let fly with a first-time left-foot volley from the left of the area that Werribee keeper Nikola Kostadinoski couldn’t stop from rocketing into the far corner of goal. Werribee came to the peninsula in third spot in NPL2 West just two points behind leader St Albans Saints but its promotion chances were dealt a bodyblow by Baird’s late winner. Langwarrin had lined up in a pink strip as part of the club’s promotion of the DonateLife movement to raise community awareness of the importance of registering as an organ and tissue donor. It created the best chance of the first half in the 37th minute with a slick interpassing movement involving Damir Stoilovic and Callum Goulding that ended with Wayne Wallace’s shot being deflected just wide of the near post. But the visitors broke the deadlock in the 54th minute with a stinging long-range strike from Tyler James after a Jake Butler lay-off on the left. Langy gaffer Scott Miller made a double substitution in the 62nd minute and struck gold. Six minutes later one of the subs, Luke Burgess, sent a firm low cross in behind the Werribee defence and Shaun Hodor sliding in to clear could only divert the ball past Kostadinoski for an own goal. The other Langy sub, David Stirton, set Lawton Park alight with a belter of a free kick four minutes later sending the ball crashing off the inside of the far post and giving Kostadinoski no chance. But Werribee levelled in the 79th minute when Alec Goodwin beat advancing Fraser Maclaren to a Lisandro Paz free kick from the left heading past the Langy keeper to make it 2-2. The stage was set for a dramatic winner and four minutes into injury time Baird stole the show and the Langy bench erupted. “It was an awesome win and I couldn’t be happier for the team,” Miller said. “That’s the best game of football we’ve been involved in all season.” In NPLW news Southern United lost 6-0 to finals-bound Alamein on Sunday. The match was played at Dorothy

Laver West Reserve in Glen Iris on a substandard pitch sanctioned by Football Victoria in contravention of its own facility and playing standards. Southern’s under-19s lost 3-0 while the under-16s and under-14s both lost 1-0. Meanwhile the burgeoning career of striker Alana Murphy continues apace with news that the teenager has been included in the 23-player national under-17 squad that started a three-match Pacific tour this week. The former Langwarrin junior and current National Training Centre star turns 14 next month and is keen to forge a professional career in the women’s game. At least one leading English club is keeping tabs on the young prodigy. In State 1 news Mornington again fell foul of a late Richmond goal when it lost 3-2 at Kevin Bartlett Reserve last weekend. In the corresponding fixture at Dallas Brooks Park in the first half of the season 10-man Richmond stole a point with a 97th minute equaliser. Last Saturday a Julio Beltran goal in the 95th minute proved Mornington’s undoing after Liam Baxter and Sammy Orritt had given the visitors a 2-1 half-time lead.

weekend, a result that makes promotion for the local outfit highly unlikely. This contest sprang into life in the last half-hour and one of the sparks was teenage Strikers’ substitute Matt Harrington who along with Jordan “Kaka” Avraham came off the bench in the 60th minute in an attempt to break the impasse. “Kaka” sent Harrington through in the 70th minute but the youngster’s shot was blocked by Knox keeper Enes Unai and Alpha Turay’s attempt from the rebound was blocked by a defender before the ball was scrambled clear. Two minutes later Grant Lane and Harrington combined down the right but Harrington’s cutback was completely mistimed by Turay when dead in front. Then in the 75th minute Ray Markley ghosted in at the far post to sidefoot home a delicately flighted chip from Knox substitute Aaron Porcaro to give the visitors a shock lead. In the 85th minute “Kaka” sent Harrington down the right again and this time his cutback was calmly slotted first time past Unai by John Prescott to make it 1-1. Strikers’ players and supporters barely had time to celebrate for straight from the restart Matt Kurceja unleashed a 25-metre piledriver that

left Strikers’ keeper Colin McCormack clutching at thin air. Strikers’ had chances to put Unai under intense pressure but poor delivery from free-kicks and corners proved costly. In State 3 news Skye United’s promotion tilt took a massive hit with a 2-1 away loss to champion elect Collingwood City last Friday night. Privately Skye is seething with the standard of officiating that left it with nine men for the last hour of the contest but would not to comment for fear of Football Victoria reprisal. Skye scored first through a Daniel Walsh header following a Mark O’Connor free-kick in the 25th minute. Then Harrison Michaelis earned two yellow cards in two minutes for his only fouls of the match and Mikey Turner earned a second yellow for nudging a defender who was trying to shield the ball and run it out of play. Five minutes into the second half Collingwood’s Stephen Mahon bundled the ball over the goal line for the equaliser then the referee awarded a controversial penalty in the 67th minute ruling that Mitch Blake had handled. Matt Richardson converted what was to be the winner. To add insult to injury minutes after the restart Skye earned a rare second half corner and the delivery struck the hand of a Collingwood defender only for the referee to wave away Skye’s penalty appeals. The only upside to the weekend’s round of matches was the shock loss of second-placed Whitehorse United giving Skye the chance to leapfrog its promotion opponent when it plays a catch-up match at home against Elwood City on Thursday night. Frankston Pines also played last Friday night and was able to hold on in the final 10 minutes to record a 2-1 home win over Ashburton United. Pines coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor rejigged his defensive structure with Kevin Brown joining Cedric Benza in central defence, Connor McAndrews and Noah Green as full backs and the experienced Daniel Mota playing in centre midfield. Lachie McMinimee put Pines ahead 10 minutes into the second half when a long throw by McAndrews was flicked on by CJ Hodgson and McMinimee rolled his marker then shot truly from close range. Joe O’Connor pounced on a poor back pass in the 82nd minute to make it 2-0 but Ashburton’s Filip Dubljevic reacted quickly and made it 2-1 after

Pines keeper Jarrod Nardino had parried a shot in the 88th minute. In State 4 news Baxter recorded a 2-1 home win over Keysborough last weekend thanks to a late own goal. A Nico Juric free-kick in the 12th minute was headed in by Stuart MacKenzie but Helder Garcia grabbed the equaliser in the 30th minute when Baxter was caught on the break. Juric rattled the bar with a free-kick in the second half and a stray back pass under pressure from McKenzie in the 81st minute settled the issue. Seaford and Noble Park United couldn’t resolve their arm wrestle at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday and the match ended in a scoreless draw. In State 5 news Somerville’s title tilt stayed on course thanks to a gritty 3-1 home win over White Star Dandenong last weekend. While Somie keeper Francis Beck was forced to make two quality saves at pivotal moments the home side took a 2-0 lead into the interval. The opener came from the spot thanks to a converted penalty from player-coach Dave Greening following a foul on strike partner Mark Pagliarulo and the second came from a Greening volley in the 42nd minute following a superb Pagliarulo cross. White Star’s Louis Palmire made it 2-1 in the 55th minute but Pagliarulo restored Somie’s two-goal cushion with a header eight minutes later. Aspendale Stingrays enjoyed a comfortable 4-1 home win over Hampton Park United last weekend. The home team led 2-0 at the interval thanks to Anthony Segavac and an own goal from Mohammad Changizi and second-half goals to Kieran Hughes and 16-year-old substitute Nathan Barnett completed the win. Hampton Park’s goal came from the penalty spot a minute into injury time. Rosebud lost 2-0 at home to Knox United on Saturday. Only five local clubs are in action this week as it’s a catch-up round: THURSDAY, 8.30pm: Skye Utd v Elwood City (Skye Recreation Reserve). SATURDAY, 3pm: Mazenod Victory v Mornington (Brandon Park Reserve), Rowville Eagles v Seaford United (Park Ridge Reserve), Rosebud v Endeavour Hills Fire (Olympic Park), Aspendale Stingrays v Old Mentonians (Jack Grut Reserve).

dication and certainly her second and third runs will tell us exactly where she’s at.” Talented three-year-olds Super Seth and Meuse also stepped out for a quiet trial in the second heat of the morning, where they camped at the rear before making late progress to finish fourth and fifth, respectively. Freedman said it was always the plan to not do too much with them. “Again, we got good feedback from the riders, so it sets us up for the next few weeks as to what we do with them

and where we head with them,” he said. “He (Super Seth) may not kick off until the end of August and the filly (Meuse) possibly at The Valley in the middle of August.” Another one of Freedman’s quality three-year-olds, I Am Immortal, entered the fourth trial of the morning where he rolled to the front and crossed the line in front alongside the Chris Meagher-trained My Bluewings.

tackle the older sprinters in races like the Group One Moir Stakes in the spring but is still a few weeks off resuming according to Freedman. “He had a very soft trial this morning and he got a bit tired, so we’ve got a bit of work to do with him over the next couple of weeks,” he said. “He’ll have another jumpout in the next 10 days or so and be put under a bit of pressure and he may run at Caulfield on the 17th.” Along with another couple of threeyear-old triallers such as Rockthe-

nightaway (fifth heat) and Warning (sixth heat), Freedman also stepped out one of their new arrivals to the stable, Aloisia. The 2017 Group One Thousand Guineas winner, who was sold and bought by a client of Freedman’s and moved into Pinecliff over six weeks ago, settled at the rear before making gradual improvement late in the third trial. Freedman said the brief with her is to get her up and going early. “If she’s in good form and racing well, she’ll race on. If not, she’ll head to stud,” he said. “She didn’t do a lot (this morning) and wasn’t asked to do a lot. We’re still learning about her but, at the moment, she’s fairly straightforward.”

By Ben Triandafillou SOME of Anthony Freedman’s talented crop of thoroughbreds stepped out at the Mornington jumpouts on Wednesday 31 July as they begin their preparation for the upcoming Spring Racing Carnival. At the top of the list for the Pinecliff, Mount Eliza-based trainer was Group One Blue Diamond Stakes winner and Golden Slipper placegetter, Lyre, who was put through her paces in the opening heat of the morning. Similar to most of Freedman’s triallers, Lyre wasn’t asked to do much and was given a quiet time in her trial despite finishing a close third. Freedman said he was rapt with her after receiving some good feedback from jockey Luke Currie. “She wasn’t here to do a lot,” Freedman said. “She went around pretty much untouched. “She certainly looks bigger and more complete than she did as a twoyear-old and hopefully that transforms into an improvement on the track - which it generally does - so we’re happy in that respect.” With the Group One Thousand Guineas (1600m) one of a couple of possibilities for the now three-yearold daughter of Lonhro, Freedman said she’ll have another jumpout in a week to 10 days and then possibly head to Caulfield on Saturday 17 August for the Quezette Stakes. “She’ll head in that direction but if there is any concern at the mile, she’ll drop back in distance,” he said. “The first-up run will give us an in-
