Lest we forget ALAN and Harry Scoble displayed medals awarded to Handley Scoble for his service to Australia’s war effort during World War I. Handley Scobie fought at Flanders and Ypres in Belgium as a machine gunner.

The medals were among war memorabilia on show at the War Heritage Roadshow in Frankston last month.

Call to release major audits Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A LONG-AWAITED audit of five major construction projects in Frankston may see the light of day if councillors vote this month to publicly release a report by Frankston Council’s internal auditor.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden announced last month that a report by internal auditor Pitcher Partners found “project management process-

es to be of a satisfactory standard” but the report has been kept in-house at council.

Councillors in the previous council voted in June last year to conduct audits on the five projects.

Pitcher Partners analysed works carried out on an upgrade to Wells St, the construction of a new war memorial at Beauty Park, the refurbishment of the Frankston Yacht Club, the building of the Frankston Football Club Function Centre and a club-

house extension for the Frankston Bombers at Baxter Reserve.

Cr Glenn Aitken, who denied directing contractors to make changes to the Wells St upgrade without consulting council, will ask fellow councillors to vote to release the audit report at this month’s council meeting.

“To me, if an audit is done of council assets which the public pay for then the public is entitled to see the result of that,” Cr Aitken said last week.

Spending on new street furniture,

lighting and paving along Wells St came in at about $5 million against an initial estimate of $3.5 million before work began on the project.

“Any weaknesses identified present opportunities to implement improvements that will assist in process effectiveness and efficiencies, particularly around project scope management and control, along with records management,” Mr Hovenden said in a statement last month.

“Some changes to council’s pro-

ject management have already taken place, including the development of a new project management manual to guide officers and ensure a consistent and comprehensive approach to project management.”

Despite the “satisfactory” audit outcome announced last month, Mr Hovenden noted there will be “learnings” from the Pitcher Partners report including a need to improve project scoping to include more detail and record keeping.

Road to recovery: Rahni Mackie awaits treatment at Frankston Hospital last week. She and her mother, Margaret, are hoping to make contact with the ‘good Samaritan’ who comforted her. Picture: Gary Sissons

Kindness of stranger eases the pain A FALL from her bike last week proved painful for a Seaford woman – but the kindness shown by a complete stranger helped make her ordeal bearable.

Rahni Mackie, 46, was riding with her dog alongside Kananook Creek when she crashed, breaking her leg in three places and knocking her head on the path, 9.30am, Thursday.

A passerby, known only as “Alex� and aged about 19, ran up to help – and then generously waited for threequarters of an hour comforting the injured woman, minding her dog – and even called her mum. “He called me and told me what had happened and, when I arrived, he walked Rahni’s bike to the station so that we could collect it later,� Mrs Margaret Mackie, of

Chelsea, said. “He was just so lovely. You don’t often hear about that sort of thing happening these days and I was worried we had kept him so long. “I asked him his name and he said ‘Alex’ and we shook hands. That is all we know about him. Afterwards, he walked to the station and, I suppose, got the train to work.�

Mrs Mackie took her daughter by car to Frankston Hospital, where she was awaiting operations on her broken tibia and fibula, Friday.

The women would like Alex to contact them so they can thank him for his kind concern. He is asked to call The Times, 5973 6424.

Book holds hope for the ‘disengaged’

Crafty tipple: Kevin and Dan Dainton toast the success of their family founded brewery in Carrum Downs.

Craft beer the top brew A CARRUM Downs brewery is now firmly on the map for drinkers seeking a top drop.

The Dainton Family Brewery’s Cherrywood Smoked Baltic Porter was named Champion Australian Craft Beer at last week’s Craft Beer Awards held in Adelaide.

The Cherrywood Smoked Baltic Porter saw off competition from more than 680 beers from 118 breweries to take top honours after also winning its Champion Porter/Stout category on the night.

Co-founder and brewer Dan Dainton said the judges said it was simply “the best beer they tasted”.

“It has a unique style. We used a lot of really good ingredients and have got to know our system and what we can do so when the beer came out we were really happy with it.”

He said it was “really surprising but really nice” for the porter, described as “like a chocolate cigar”, to be crowned top craft beer at the Craft Beer Awards.

The brewer, who established the

Dainton Family Brewery at Carrum Downs two years ago with his father Kevin, said more of the award-winning beer will be brewed but existing supplies are now dwindling as news of the award spills out.

“It’s definitely highly drinkable even at nearly 9 per cent [alcohol by volume].”  See daintonbrewing.com.au for the brewery’s opening hours and beers.

By Bob Simpson PENINSULA Voice* this week hosts the launch of The Mouth that Roared, a book by social worker Les Twentyman.

Twentyman describes issues concerning disengaged people and families around Melbourne. His stories are disturbing. If skimmed, one could lose all hope for disengaged people.

Read more deeply and there are profound truths for redefining complex community issues.

Previously, Peninsula Voice opened up conversations on complex issues, including youth depression. While individual stories are heart-breaking, disengagement, about which Twentyman writes, could leave readers generally at the point of despair.

However, despite his earthiness, Twentyman has great faith and hope in the people he serves. In reading his book, these qualities were learned from people with whom he engaged over the years. Like his mum. And Father Bob [Maguire] whose “great hero is Jesus”. I imagine Twentyman would be one of Jesus’ knockabout friends, because he loves and cares for people on the margins.

I think he believes there are rewarding ways of bringing disengaged young people into the engaged mainstream. Maybe, that’s wishful thinking. Or does he know how to change social policy so we can all flourish?

First, Twentyman, who came from economically poor Braybrook, says, “Your belly doesn’t have the final

say, all the time. I (always) wanted what we now call fulfilment.” This highlights the universal struggle for survival. But human beings also have choice and free will. Used well, there is always hope.

Second, no city or shire will ever flourish unless we care and love those on the margins. Arguably, in Twentyman’s view, the quality of family relationships comes first.

Third, we will never flourish if we depend on illusory economic development; hunger games mentality of survival of the fittest; unthinking compliance with rules-based legislation and regulations; or unthinking religious attitudes.

There are many questions I’d like to ask. Why and how some people are fully engaged? What’s the place and nature of responsibility within disengagement? What genuine use is political government in these complex issues? Where does all the government money go?

The launch of Twentyman’s The Mouth that Roared, is an important event. If you want to see the Mornington Peninsula flourish, arrange to be there, and ask important questions.

The 6.30pm-9pm 9 August book launch is at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington.

Details: 0438 306 594. * Peninsula Voice is a not-for-profit group of volunteers, which organises and presents public forums to promote “healthy community development”.

Arrests at station ‘outstanding’ result OFFICERS from Victoria Police’s transit safety division joined forces last Tuesday (1 August) with Frankston police, Sheriff’s officers and Metro Trains officers to target anti-social behaviour at Frankston train station and the bus precinct.

Over the course of the day as part of Operation Rickman, police issued 92 infringements, five traffic internments and arrested 15 people wanted on outstanding warrants.

Two people were arrested for carrying weapons.

Sheriff’s officers executed 311 warrants totalling in just under $130,000

in outstanding fines.

Inspector Martin Hardy, Local Area Commander for South Transit Safety Division said: “Operation Rickman is just one great example of law enforcement agencies working together to ensure community safety and security on the public transport system.”

NEWS DESK First ‘tech fest’ THE Mornington Peninsula and Frankston’s first entrepreneurship and technology festival starts on Friday with a business breakfast and a threeday “hackathon”.

The event is a joint venture between the technology business hub Frankston Foundry, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Frankston City Council and sponsors including the state government’s start-up investment body LaunchVic. Kate Gittings of LaunchVic said the region’s first hackathon, PeninsulaHACK, aimed to “build solutions for regional problems such as high youth unemployment and job availability”.

The three-day hackathon, 6pm Friday to 6pm Sunday, will see about 150 entrepreneurs, businesses and community leaders from Frankston and the peninsula “discuss and explore opportunities around the gig economy and the future of work”.

(The gig economy is the term for a labour market of short-term contracts or freelance work rather than permanent jobs.)

About 15 teams will pitch their ideas to a panel of judges, with winning teams taking a share of $6000 prize money.

Other events include free and low-cost public workshops and talks covering topics such as the internet of things, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality.

Speakers at the breakfast will include the state Minister for Small Business, Innovation and Trade, Philip Dalidakis; LaunchVic CEO Dr Kate Cornick; and technology entrepreneurs.

Library’s open day for Islam’s main text THE book central Islam, the Quran (or Koran), was the main feature of a display and discussion at Frankston Library earlier this month.

The aim of the exhibition by the Langwarrin chapter of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Victoria was to introduce Islam “and to help dispel any misconception and misunderstanding about the Islamic faith and the Quran”, said Soofi Aziz, secretary external affairs Langwarrin Jamaat (an Islamic religious organisation with no political affiliations).

The Saturday 8 July display included copies of the Quran in several languages, Islamic literature and banners on topics in the Quran.

“Some of the information on display included women’s rights, interfaith dialogue, real concept of jihad, social justice and world peace,” Mr Aziz said.

“Visitors to the library could attend an information session on the basic teachings of Islam led by Langwarrinbased imam and minister of religion of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, Imam Syed Wadood Janud. Imam Janud answered many questions that residents had about Islam.”

Mr Aziz said the visitors “left the exhibition after gaining firsthand knowledge and understanding about the true teachings of Islam as taught by the Quran and practiced by local Muslims”.

Inquiries welcome: Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Victoria’s Langwarrin congregation at Frankston Library during the Quran display are, from left, B S Bali, Imam Wadood Janud, Banga Sethi and Tariq Ataullah.

Police patrol Girl dies after crash DETECTIVES from the Major Collision Investigation Unit are investigating a collision in Frankston, Thursday 13 July.

A Kia Rio sedan travelling east on Cranbourne Rd, 9.40pm, was crossing Moorooduc Highway when it ran head-on into a pole. Its passenger, a 16-year-old girl, of Mt Eliza, was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries. She died on 29 July without gaining consciousness.

The 18-year-old woman driver, of Safety Beach, was also taken to hospital with serious injuries. No one else was injured.

Anyone who saw the crash is urged to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com. au online.

YOUTH worker Les Twentyman will be in Mornington next week to speak about his life helping those who “fall through the cracks and the injustice they face”.

Twentyman, head of the Les Twentyman Foundation and author of The Mouth That Roared has helped many young people “get their lives back on track”.

His visit arranged by Peninsula Voice will reinforce the need to address research findings which show the number of young people on the Mornington Peninsula suffering depression is higher than the state average.

The number of young people committing suicide in Frankston and on the peninsula is also causing alarm.

The state government has announced funding for the South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network to deliver the Lived Experience project designed to “help reduce stigma and promote helpseeking in the Frankston, Mornington Peninsula and Dandenong regions”.

Roses in the Ocean, an organisation supporting those with lived experiences of suicide, will provide training and mentoring to help people talk about suicide.

A 2012 study by Communities that Care commissioned by Mornington Peninsula Shire revealed an estimated 25.5 per cent of students in years seven, nine and 11 with “depressive symptoms”.

“The prevalence of students with depressive symptoms, at each year level, appears to have remained stable over the 10-year period since 2002,” family services and community planning manager Louise Wilkins said.

“In 2014 Deakin University examined which factors were related to depression symptoms, and what factors would produce the biggest change on depressive symptoms in the shire. Multivariate mod-

elling demonstrated that family conflict was a risk factor that was associated with the greatest odds of depressive symptoms.”

Ms Wilkins said modelling blamed family conflict for increasing the chances of depressive symptoms by 70 per cent.

Other reasons for depression are seen as being life events; loneliness; loss and grief; bullying; alcohol and drug use; low self esteem and body image; discrimination; and physical health problems.

In Hastings and Mornington families have recently attended movie nights (Shed 11 Youth Centre in Hastings and The Corner Youth Centre in Mornington) and discussed the shire’s Take the Pledge campaign.

The “pledge” encourages families to focus on positive and clear communication, spending quality time with loved ones and making their homes more harmonious to reduce family conflict.

Taking the pledge can include such activities as eating one meal together as a family each week or attending a child’s sporting event each week.

Pledge cards are online at mornpen.vic. gov.au/ctc.

Park away: Dunkley MP Chris Crewther and Mornington MP David Morris joined Mt Eliza Primary School principal Brett Bell at the car park site, Thursday. Picture: Yanni

Car park deal sealed A SCHOOL car park in Mt Eliza will be redeveloped after Mornington Peninsula Shire and VicRoads reached agreement last week.

Under the agreement, VicRoads has agreed to reduce rental for the site paid by the shire from $21,746 to $1900 a year.

The 2500 square metre site is on the corner of Canadian Bay Rd and Nepean Highway.

Dunkley MP Chris Crewther said the works would be paid for with a $280,000 federal government grant. He and Mornington MP David Morris joined Mt Eliza Primary School principal Brett Bell at the site, Thursday.

“The current car park has long been a serious safety concern for children, parents

and surrounding schools, particularly during school pick-up and drop-off times,” Mr Crewther said.

“Following advocacy from parents and, in particular, community groups such as Room To Move, I am thrilled to see the that the upgrade will go ahead.

“It will provide a much safer area for school pick-ups and drop-offs, as well as ease congestion and disruptions for other drivers.”

Mr Morris was delighted agreement had been reached. “This decision will allow much needed improvements to the existing informal facility and, most importantly, create a much safer environment for Mt Eliza students.”

Medals show family ties to hall Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au “A SURVIVOR” is how Alan Scoble describes his late-grandfather Handley Scoble, who enlisted for World War I at the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute in early 1917 and then joined the other troops for a rousing send-off from the hall steps.

Mr Scoble was at the hall last week for the War Heritage Roadshow, to which many Frankston families brought items of service and wartime memorabilia that shaped the story of Australia’s war effort and our local community’s contribution.

At the roadshow, conservators and historians explained the significance of the various medals and memorabilia and advised on their care, cleaning and preservation.

Mr Scoble, 63, and his father, Harry, 85, brought along Handley’s City of Frankston medal – nicknamed the “Bob” medal – as well as his British War medal and Victory medal to show the experts.

The mechanics’ hall has played a big part in the family’s past. It was from there that Handley’s brigade marched to the station amid rousing cheers from a patriotic crowd. The trained at the Broadmeadows and Royal Park Army camps and, later, after they were deemed battle ready, boarded the troop ship Ballarat at Station Pier for the voyage “into hell”.

On reaching the English Channel on 25 April 1917 – Anzac Day – the ship was torpedoed by a German sub-

marine off Wolf Rock. Fortunately, she sank slowly, giving all 1752 diggers on board time to leave the ship and be ferried to England.

One was Hanley Scoble, then 24, who fought at the fiercely contested Flanders and Ypres districts of Belgium as a machine gunner and managed to survive and serve out the war.

Grandson Alan – who was 21 when his grandfather died in 1976 – recalls hearing stories of his wartime exploits, such as the captain of the stricken troop ship calling out: “Don’t rush boys, we have plenty of time” as they took to the life boats – and then managing

to “retrieve” the skipper’s binoculars from the bridge before making his way aboard.

Later, while manning his machine gun in battle, he told of being all but buried alive by debris when a large enemy shell exploded nearby.

After the war, Handley Scoble returned to Frankston for a celebratory homecoming at the same mechanics’ hall. There, he was presented with the City of Frankston medal – nicknamed the “Bob’s” medal – to go with his British War medal and Victory medal.

“The Frankston medal – like those presented to returning troops by many

municipalities – was intended as a mark of thanks by local residents,” Alan said.

“I thought the medals may be significant because I knew my grandfather enlisted at Frankston.

“His name is also at the Frankston cenotaph and at the RSL in Cranbourne Rd.” Handley Scoble joined his brother, Arthur, on their pig farm near Frankston South and became so well established that Scoble St and Handley Ct are named after him. He died aged 83 in 1976.

Young leaders tackle pollution plight BANYAN Reserve wetlands in Carrum Downs was just the place for 100 young “marine ambassadors” to see and smell the tonnes of rubbish emptied from a gross pollution trap last week.

The pupils – from St Macartans, Mornington, Kunyung, Mt Eliza and Woodlands, Frankston – investigated the trap which is designed to stop stormwater pollutants from being washed down from streets and entering Port Phillip Bay. The wetlands are described by Dolphin Research Institute executive director Jeff Weir as a world-class example of how to treat stormwater pollution.

“Litter traps capture the larger pollution,” he said. “The ponds let sedi-

ment settle and the plant life takes up many of the soluble pollutants.

“In moderate rains, the water will be quite clean by the time it leaves this site and flows into the bay via Kananook Creek.

“In big storms, it overflows and everything goes into the bay. Most drains don’t have these systems and empty directly into the creeks and rivers that flow to our bays.

“Treatment systems help when they are present, but the best solution is to stop things getting into drains in the first place.”

The ambassadors’ experience was part of the Dolphin Research Institute’s ‘I sea, I care’ School Ambassador Program.

The pupils are trained as peer edu-

cators who go back to their schools to share their experiences. The goal is to reduce pollutants entering drains and, ultimately, threatening our marine environment.

“The institute is concerned about the link between water quality in the bay and the health of our dolphins,” Mr Weir said.

“If it’s not safe for us to swim in our bay after rain, then it’s also not safe for our dolphins either.

“We need to do much better.”

The DRI is currently working on a major dolphin health study funded by the federal government.

Oncology rehabilitation program ONCOLOGY Rehabilitation – do you have a cancer diagnosis or have had treatment for cancer and feeling tired, lack energy and generally feel run down? We would love to see if we can help you.

At St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital, our Oncology Rehabilitation Outpatient program is a 6 week, twice a week program that incorporates information sessions, meditation, tai chi, exercise and hydrotherapy, and it’s individually tailored to you, your needs and your goals.

How it might help: The information sessions are interactive and discuss topics that can assist you in your day-to-day life, such as healthy food choices when you aren’t feeling the best, tips on managing stress, how to pace yourself to get through the day, and WKH EHQH¿WV RI H[HUFLVH The meditation session, guided by Rivka, our Occupational Therapist, is a weekly 30-minute session to help you wind down and refocus, which complements the tai chi session that provides whole body movement while concentrating on the correct moves. It is a body and brain workout, so for 30 minutes you cannot think about anything else so it is a great way to reduce tension. Tai chi is also great for balance, posture and breathing.

Exercise is an integral part of rehabilitation. Our bodies are meant to move so this session is 60 minutes

of light to moderate exercise with our Exercise Physiologist (EP), Sam. Our EP will assess you prior to starting to gauge your physical ability and ÂżQG RXW \RXU JRDOV VR KH FDQ WDLORU your exercise regime. Exercise plays an important part in reducing cancer related fatigue and improving our quality of life.

Hydrotherapy is new to oncology rehabilitation, but early research shows it is an effective method of exercise. The water is 34 degrees and while the water resistance provide D JUHDW ZRUNRXW ZH OHW \RX Ă€RDW around as part of your ‘cool down’, so it is a very relaxing session. Whilst we encourage everyone to participate, we know hydrotherapy is not for everyone, so an alternative gym session can be provided instead.

Sounds pretty good and want to get started? Just ask your specialist or GP for a referral to one of rehabilitation physicians who will complete a medical assessment for you to enter the program; you will then meet Rebecca, our Oncology Rehabilitation Nurse, Sam and Rivka who will guide you through the next 6 weeks.

We also cater for patients who need inpatient rehabilitation for those who have goals that are more easily meet with daily intensive therapy.

Ultimate Boutique Dentistry FOR over 30 years, Dr John Albery has been putting smiles on the faces of clients across the Mornington Peninsula, and continues with his boutique clinic, Dental Studio 2-Twenty.

“With a combination of professional experience and the latest technology, we pride ourselves on providing each and every one of our customers with excellence in restorative and cosmetic dentistry,” says Dr Albery. “With very few exceptions, we can handle all of your dental needs in-house. That means you won’t have to waste time waiting and travelling for a referral.

Instead, we provide everything you need in our modern practice and at an affordable price.”

With Dental Health Week from August 7 – 12, Dr Albery says it is a great opportunity for education on good oral hygiene, and the effect diet has on our dental health.

“Excess sugar in the diet has been blamed for increasing rates of dental decay in children as young as one,” said Dr Albery. “There have been new analyses saying that seven out of 10 packaged goods sold on supermarket shelves contain added sugar and there are a huge number of children that are admitted to hospital due to dental conditions that could be preventable.”

Dr Albery says that good sugars are an important part of every person’s

diet like those found naturally in dairy, fruits and vegetables.

“There is a big difference between natural sugars and the ones added during manufacturing,” he said.

Currently there are calls for greater transparency on added sugar in packaged foods which dentists like Dr Albery support wholeheartedly.

“It is things like soft drinks, cakes, pies, ice cream, pastries and process meats that contain the highest amount of added sugars,” he said.

This year a Choice report found that if consumers could identify added sugars on food packs they could avoid 26 teaspoons of sugar each day.

“If this was the case, the dental health of Australians would show a dramatic improvement,” said Dr Albery.

Dental Studio 2-Twenty offers a boutique dental experience, with the latest technology, a brand new surgery, state of the art equipment, and the bonus of three decades of experience treating people.

Dr Albery has undertaken advanced training in crown, bridge and implants dentistry, and completed his Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in Myofascial Acupuncture. He is a founding member of the Australian Society of Dental Aesthetics and a founding member of the Peninsula Headache Clinic.

“As a professional team, we pride ourselves on our excellent customer service, as well as our expertise and state of the art dental technology.

When you come to Dental Studio

2-Twenty, you don’t just get the very best in restorative and cosmetic dentistry – you get friendly service, personalised to suit your needs and budget,” says Dr Albery.

WE CAN HELP!

OUR feet and legs are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our daily activities, so its no wonder most people suffer foot, knee or leg pain at some point in their lives. But what can you do about it?

We asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics to shed some light on common foot and leg concerns:  The most common concerns include: knee pain, injuries and arthritis; heel, shin and forefoot pain; ankle and achilles concerns.  Many conditions are misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated, so its important to find an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist to assist.  Bad foot posture can continually pull your body out of alignment, which can contribute to postural aches / pains and undue stress on joints and tissues.  Early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis, nerve and circulatory problems often show themselves initially in the feet.  Traditional treatments such as cortisone, anti-inflammatory medications and joint arthroscopies are now outdated for conditions such as foot and leg pain and arthritis, and have been found to delay healing and cause further tissue damage in many cases.  We now have effective, natural medical alternatives and treatments for such conditions.

Regenerative therapies such as Prolotherapy and PRP (platelet rich plasma) are helping many to

Here to help this tax time TAX time is underway and the Australian Taxation Office’s (ATO) Tax Help service will be assisting low-income earners with simple tax affairs to complete their tax return online with myTax. Tax Help volunteers provide a free and confidential service for people on low incomes of around $60,000 or less to get their tax right.

“The ATO provides Tax Help as a community service for Australians that may be having trouble lodging their own tax returns because we understand it can be a bit difficult sometimes,” Assistant Commissioner Kath Anderson said.

“Last year we had over 800 Tax Help volunteers who worked across around 600 Tax Help centres to assist over 33,000 individuals with their tax returns.”

Ms Anderson is reminding taxpayers that need help to check if they are eligible.

“The low income threshold has increased to $60,000 this year, so even if you weren’t previously eligible, check to see if you are this year,”

Ms Anderson said.

“Tax Help volunteers can help with lodging and amending tax returns online using myTax, or to claim a refund of franking credits. Volun-

teers can also help you claim any deductions and offsets you may be entitled to.”

Ms Anderson also encouraged individuals to try myTax out themselves online before visiting a Tax Help centre.

“Our online lodgment tool myTax is easy and secure, and if you wait until mid-August, most of your information will be pre-filled. In many cases, all you will need to do is check your details and hit submit.”

If you’re eligible for Tax Help, you will need a myGov account linked to the ATO. Our volunteers can help you create your myGov account and link it to the ATO if you haven’t done this already.

To find out if you’re eligible for help, visit ato. gov.au/taxhelp.

Tax Help will be available until 31 October in all capital cities and many regional areas across Australia.

To make an appointment and to find your nearest Tax Help centre phone us on 13 28 61.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

“Tin kettlers” welcome newlywed Hantons Compiled by Cameron McCullough LAST Wednesday a band of “tin kettlers” went down to give the new bride and bridegroom, Mr and Mrs Hanton, a rousing welcome.

The band was very hospitably entertained and a very pleasant evening was spent. *** ALL soldiers will be entertained at afternoon tea in the Hall this afternoon at the conclusion of the speeches in the Park. *** IT is the intention of Councillor Oates to call the ratepayers of the North Riding together at an early date to give a general resume of council matters during his last two terms of office extending over six years.

The date will be fixed and notified by advertisement in our next issue. *** MORNINGTON Junction Progress Association (modern day Baxter) The monthly meeting of the above was held on Aug 1st. President - Mr Green (in the chair) Messrs Grant, Harley (V. Roberts, V. Stott, Hawken, McColl, Bowley, Dicker, H Male, Fulton, McCubbin, Marshall, Walsh, Butler, C. Young, Barclay, and Persson. Mr Jackson, secretary of the Co-operative Society at Somerville was also present.

After the minutes and correspondence had been disposed of, Mr Marshall, in a very forcible speech, drew attention to the fact that we as a community were being very unfairly treated in respect to Council matters.

After every heavy shower people wishing to get to the station from the

east side, have to walk through water up to their boot tip.

This, it was felt could not be tolerated any longer and a deputation consisting of Messrs Marshall, Green and Grant, were deputed to wait on the councillors at the Council Chambers and place the matter before them for their urgent consideration.

Further council matters were dealt with, viz, redistribution of boundries of shire so that Mornington Junction, would get a better deal. Also the advisability of getting some one to represent us at the Council table.

As it was too late to bring a man forward this time, and so as to help that one if necessary at next election, it was moved that a fighting fund be established and a levy of 6d per member per quarter was agreed on.

Nominations for candidates to be called for in May of each year.

It was moved that a local committee be formed to assist the repatriation committee and bring before them the suitableness of our district for returned soldiers.

Tree planting in the streets was then reported on and Arbor Day fixed for August 18th. 35 trees are to be planted this year and named after the soldiers who have enlisted.

Mr Roberts gave notice of motion that at next meeting he would move that member’s subscription be 2s 6d.

The meeting then closed.

A meeting of those present was then held to decide on a new name for the station and post office.

The name Mornington Junction being considered unsuitable.

21 names were submitted to the exhaustive ballot of the members

with the result that the name Irvine was chosen.

Mr Dicker moved that the name Irvine suggested by the meeting be sent on to the progress association who will take the necessary steps to forward same to the proper quarters.

Seconded by Mr Persson and carried.

The meeting then closed. *** INSPECTION of Kananook Creek.

VISIT BY MINISTER AND ENGINEER. At 10.30 last Thursday morning, Mr Adamson, Minister for Public Works, accompanied by Mr Kermode, the departmental Engineer visited Frankston for the purpose of inspecting Kananook Creek.

They were met and conducted round by Crs Oates and Clements, Messrs Mason, Sambell (Shire Engineer) Bradbury and Dr Maxwell.

The party worked down from the Mile bridge, inspecting the creek at each street crossing and from Wells street to the mouth.

Mr Bradbury & afterwards provided luncheon at the Fernery amidst most charming surroundings.

In reply to the vote of thanks, tendered by Crs Oates and Clements, the Minister expressed his sympathy with the residents in their endeavour to improve Frankston and stated that Mr. Kermode would supply a full report for the consideration of the Minister.

The latter then returned to the City at 1 p.m. *** SOMERVILLE Red Cross Society.

The Jumble Fair held in the Hall on Saturday Aug 4th was most success-

ful. The weather was good after the severe storm on Friday and everything went well without a hitch.

The refreshment stall, under the capable management of Miss Barber was one of the most chick ever arranged in the district and its artistic and inviting appearance accounted for the roaring trade, being the largest takings for one day on record.

Great praise is due to her band of workers.

The product stall under Mrs Jas Murray realized £14. Hoopla by the syndicate with Mr Ted Gomm as “Tote” did a splendid trade, between £5 and £6 being taken without a penny expense.

Ice cream and lollies managed by Mesdames White and Coop did a roaring trade.

Fancy stall under Mesdames C. Grant and Iles sold all out at something over £5 with only 15s 3d expense.

The cake stall managed by Mrs Gault and Misses Goodson and Laura Thornell also was cleared. The total takings being about £40 expenses £9.

The President, Mrs Gault and secretary, Mrs G. Shepherd desire to thank all those who donated and assisted at the Fair.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Crushed by the Digital Hamster Wheel of the Gods

By Stuart McCullough HOW quickly we become dependent. Like a lobster who doesn’t notice as the water heads towards boiling, I had no idea how much danger I was in. For years, I lived without you. It was, I think, a reasonably complete kind of life.

I certainly managed to fill my time, more or less.

Then we were introduced and everything about my life changed forever. New worlds opened up, galaxies appeared before my eyes and I was enriched beyond measure. How I ached to spend time with you, never suspecting that our connection might be so ….fragile. Netflix, you broke my heart.

I didn’t see it coming. For some reason, I assumed that paying for a service meant that it would be forever ready to spring to my attention, serving all my televisual needs. One evening, I deposited myself on the part of the couch the dog was prepared to let me occupy and pointed the super-special remote towards the little magical box that sits on a shelf in the TV cabinet. I pressed ‘enter’ and watched as the thing I personally like to refer to as ‘the thinking wheel’ span and span and span. As I watched, I could almost feel myself travel through time.

I knew it was struggling. I suspect it’s no coincidence that the spinning symbol used to indicate struggle so closely resembles a hamster wheel.

Indeed, it’s hard not to picture the all-powerful cyber-hamster that must power the entire Netflix operation, its bionic limbs pumping like supercharged pistons as it generates enough power to fire up the new series of Gilmore Girls. But as the wheel kept spinning, it occurred to me that this was a wheel of misfortune. Then it appeared.

As plain as the nose on a digital mega-hamster’s face, the screen simply informed me: ‘There is a problem connecting to Netflix – try again later’.

What on earth are they talking about? Having grown up in an ‘off’ and ‘on’ kind of world, this new paradigm of ephemeral, unpredictable pleasure is more uncertainty than I can handle. When

PAGE 24

Frankston Times 7 August 2017

they say there’s a ‘problem connecting to Netflix’, what kind of problem are we talking about?

Emotional? Existential? Not returning phone calls? Waiting for the wind to die down? Surely, they could be more informative. Then came the invitation that’s more a slap to the head than it was a cause for hope – ‘try again later’. It’s rare that I feel the need to summon up the spirit of Veruca Salt but I think I agree with her in that I want it now, not later. Had I wanted it later, I probably wouldn’t have gone to the trouble to make the dog move over, sitting down and pointing the magic stick at the box before waving it about like Harry Potter’s last wand.

And what, pray tell, do they mean by ‘later’?

The time it takes to make a fresh cup of tea? A couple of hours? Next year sometime? No one can say. The whole thing is stricken with uncertainty. And that’s exactly it; there’s no information and no one to ask. It’s all entirely abstract.

Perhaps this is what they really mean by ‘virtual reality’. And it’s not as though there’s anyone I can complain to. The world wide web is full people, with nary a soul to speak to.

The answer is simple: I must take matters into my own hands and build my own Netflix. If the real one can’t be relied upon, then I must rely on my own raw, naked ingenuity to provide the an-

swer. Granted, my history of ‘DIY’ technological fixes is, at best, pretty patchy. There’s the time I tried to build my own digital alarm clock using an empty cereal packet. That thing saw me turn up late for school for six years running. Or my effort to create my own flux capacitor using a broken food processor. The only thing that travelled through time was my dignity as I regressed a good decade or more. And the less said about my attempt to build my own national broadband network using a bar of soap, some string and half a tube of hundreds and thousands, the better. Suffice to say, the blessed thing is yet to be of any real use. And even if this makes it largely indistinguishable from the actual national broadband network is beside the point – I know I can do better.

With Netflix collapsing into the virtual foetal position without any outward sign that it might regain its sense within the foreseeable, I was at a loss. My remote hand - so conditioned to pointing and waving - sat idle. My preferred buttonpushing thumb – which is so muscle-bound that, from a distance, it looks like a bald Arnold Schwarzenegger during his Mr. Universe era but without the lolly bags – wilted on the couch cushion. Instead, I turned to the dog and the dog (whose favourite program is currently Antiques Roadshow) turned to me, at which point we decided to chase each other around the yard until one of us got tired and felt like throwing up. Nausea aside, it’s been ages since I’ve felt so alive.

So, Netflix, I’m beginning to re-evaluate our relationship. If you can’t be relied up to work when I need you most, then I’m not sure I can give you my loyalty, much less my undying affection. I realise that I’m probably adding to your already considerable problems. The irony being, of course, that while the magic box was having trouble connecting to Netflix, my connection with Netflix entered a terminal decline. So be it.

The dog and I will be outside. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Without Edwards, Pythons lose their power PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt PINES has lost four games on the trot in MPNFL Peninsula Division and is now in danger of missing the top five all together.

After sitting a game clear at the top of the table at the midway mark of the season, the Pythons have fallen in a slump, generating the obvious question, ‘is it a case of no Aaron Edwards, no Pines’?

While the brainstrust at Pines will have you believe that this isn’t the case, the fact is that Pines has not been able to win a match since the best forward in the game went down with a season-ending knee injury four weeks ago against Langwarrin.

On that day against the Kangas, Dale Tedge went to full forward, booted a handful and the Pythons had a strong win.

On the back of that, coach Pat Swayne said team structures would stand up and while Aaron was a great player, there were other avenues to explore that could fill the void.

We all love Swayne’s optimism, however, we all know that that is just smoke and mirrors.

The fact is that the most dominant forward line in the competition is minus arguably the best player in the competition.

This leaves the 2016 league MVP Tim Bongetti one out down there.

Mornington coach Chris Holcombe said on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that Pines were ‘kidding themselves’ if they believed Edwards not playing wouldn’t have an effect.

“He’s a star and they are a much better team with him there. They stretch defences. Of course he’s a massive loss and there’s little point denying it,” Holcombe said.

Chelsea coach Brett Dunne agreed.

“They’ll need to look at the way they

YCW trouble: Bonbeach were held to just five goals for the match against Frankston YCW. Picture: Andrew Hurst

are using Guy (Hendry) and see if they can push him forward,” Dunne said.

“It’s nice to have him playing as a defender but they need him playing forward to help Bongetti,” Dunne said.

On Saturday Pines was beaten by Seaford by a goal, which kept Seaford’s finals’ hopes alive.

Frankston YCW flexed its muscles and restricted Bonbeach to just five goals on their own turf.

The Sharks were held to just one goal in the first half but had a strong

third quarter and found themselves just eight points down at the last change.

The Stonecats, with the aid of the breeze, stepped it up a notch in the last and won 10.10 (70) to 5.9 (39).

Mt Eliza is also still in the running for a spot in the finals after turning around an ordinary first half to beat Karingal 12.10 (82) to 9.8 (62).

The Bulls led by three points at half time before the Redlegs booted 10 goals to six after the change.

Karl Lombardozzi was superb for

the winners while Dan Gormley was at his best with three goals.

Langwarrin came back to earth with a thud, smashed by EdithvaleAspendale, who are now a game clear in third place.

The Kangas were held goalless in the opening half before completely dominating play in the third quarter and booting 5.10 to 3.1. It should have been 10.5.

The Eagles slammed on seven last quarter goals through to win 16.13

(109) to 5.18 (48). The Eagles had 12 goal kickers.

Mornington booted four goals to one in the last quarter to beat Chelsea by a goal, 11.16 (82) to 10.16 (76).

Warwick Miller was a star for the Dogs again with four goals while Dave Willett booted four also for the Gulls.

Mornington is on the look out for a new coach after Chris Holcombe told the club he couldn’t commit the time next season.

Eagles crash land in race to finals Slim win: Red Hill got above Devon Meadows by just a point on Saturday.

NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt SOMERVILLE is no longer in the race for MPNFL Nepean Division finals after being overrun by a fast finishing Dromana on Saturday.

With both teams being locked together on 32 points on the ladder, along with Red Hill, it was always going to be near impossible for the loser of Saturday’s game to make it.

The Eagles have now fallen a game behind Dromana and Red Hill with just two games remaining.

While Somerville is out of the equation, the race is hotting up between Red Hill (fifth place) and Dromana (sixth).

There is less than one percent separating the sides on the ladder.

Dromana faces Pearcedale and Rye in the final home and away games of the season.

Red Hill finishes with Crib Point and Tyabb.

It’s all going to come down to percentage.

Red Hill was lucky to escape from Devon Meadows with a win, falling over the line by the smallest of margins, 8.15 (63) to 8.14 (62).

At half time the Hillmen led by 22 points and Devon Meadows was goal-

less at that point in the match.

However, with injuries to Dan McNamara (concussion), Tom McEnroe (hamstring) and ruckman Harry Wynne-Pope, the Hillmen were lacking rotations and barely hung on.

The Meadows drew level late in the last quarter and had the ball deep inside their attacking 50 metre line when the siren went, however, they never got their noses in front.

Jono Ross was superb for the Hillmen again with four goals while Jonah Siverson and Chris Irving were at their best.

Scores were level at half time between Dromana and Somerville.

However, some subtle changes that saw Dromana’s Beau Cosson and Ethan Johnstone moved to half back and Rikki Johnstone forward saw the match turn.

Sam Guerts was sensational across four quarters also for the Tigers as they booted nine goals to four in the second half to win 15.11 (101) to 10.9 (69).

Andrejs Everitt made the most of his limited opportunities for Somerville with five goals.

Hastings breathed some life into the 2017 season with a hard-fought game against Sorrento.

The Blues got within two points of

the Sharks in the last quarter before going down by 28 points, 13.13 (91) to 9.9 (63).

Leigh Poholke was superb for the Sharks with four goals while Max Gardner and Danny Stephenson were also outstanding.

Ricky Ferraro, on the back of being named the new Hastings coach for seasons 2018 and 2019, was Hastings’ best, along with Shaun Foster.

Pearcedale recorded a comfortable 57 point victory against Tyabb, 16.15 (111) to 8.6 (54).

Pat Heijden booted five goals for the Dales while Harry Prior dominated through the middle.

Rosebud continued its domination of the opposition with a 19.17 (131) to 3.3 (21) win against Crib Point.

Keegan Downie booted six goals and Dale Stephens and Fraser Hustwaite dominated for the Buds.

In the final game, Frankston Bombers restricted Rye to just one goal in each of the first and second halves to win 19.16 (130) to 2.10 (22).

James Degenhardt booted three majors for the Bombers and proved how important he is to this team while Sam Fox and Mitch Bosward dominated at the stoppages.

Joel Wills and Harry Wilson were Rye’s best.

The Dolphins were stripped of their licence in 2016 after the club fell into voluntary administration under a massive debt of more than $1 million.

The club has been fighting hard since that day to bring together key people and businesses to put together a strong case to re-enter the competition. Their application was submitted last month and granted on Friday

afternoon.

The application was spearheaded by former Hawthorn champion and recruiter Gary Buckenara.

The pitch to re-enter included 1200 memberships, all sold for $50. The application was also based on the fact that the club would form ‘closer relationships with football clubs across the peninsula’.

The truth of the matter is that the Dolphins will only avoid going back to where it came if they fully embrace the MPNFL competition.

The MPNFL desperately needs and

deserves to have its own VFL side.

There are at least 15 players currently playing in the MPNFL who are playing VFL footy right now. The likes of Anthony Bruhn, Tom Baker, Anthony Barry, Sam Fowler, Lachy Wallace, Danny Allsop, BJ Credlin, Mitch LaFontaine and James Freeman are all VFL-listed players at the likes of Bulldogs, Casey, Collingwood, Richmond and Northern Blues.

It makes sense for them to be representing their own VFL team locally.

The Stingrays who are not drafted also need a pathway to keep their

AFL dream alive.

Let’s just hope the club has spent as much time understanding why it got itself into a $1M hole in the first place as it did working on a submission to re-enter – no local club support, no membership, no spectators, no success.

The Dolphins need to be a representative of the MPNFL, not an elitest group that works against and alienates local clubs – that’s the previous history of the Frankston Dolphins.

It’s time to wipe the slate clean.

It should change its name to Penin-

sula Dolphins, a true reflection of the area it represents.

The lack of a VFL Development League next season will support the case to bring the Dolphins and local clubs together. A squad of 35-40 should be selected at the beginning of the year, 22 are then selected each week to represent the Dolphins and the remaining 13-18 go back to their home club every weekend.

All of the clubs would support that and more importantly, the people they want to come through the gate to support the Dolphins.

Langy seven points clear with four to play SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie THE depth of Langwarrin’s squad proved crucial in Saturday’s comefrom-behind 3-1 win over Caulfield United at Lawton Park.

Star striker Liam Baxter had to be stretchered off in the 53rd minute with a hamstring injury and classy central defender Kieron Kenny had to be helped off 11 minutes later with a knee injury.

Baxter is expected to miss up to three weeks while the extent of Kenny’s injury will be assessed this week.

Baxter and Kenny are among a group of visa players who have powered Langy to a seven-point lead on top of State 1 South-East and with four games remaining Gus Macleod’s men are red-hot favourites to clinch the title.

That would trigger the club being offered promotion to Victoria’s elite National Premier League set-up which currently allows just two visa players per club.

While no announcement has been made the word is that Langy may give those spots to Connor Belger and Paul Speed.

They were signed late last year from English club AFC Liverpool on the recommendation of ex-Langy marquee player and former England youth international Kevin Townson.

Belger’s display on Saturday was the driving force behind Langy’s eventual success.

He played up front in the first half then dropped into a central midfield role in the second period and his ability to wrong-foot and glide past opponents at will, initiate attacks with penetrating passes into Langy’s attacking third while also being a serious goal threat via his lethal left foot stamped him as the match’s most valuable player.

Gangly Caulfield striker Cort Kibler-Melby’s looping header sailed over the head of Langy keeper Robbie Acs and into the net to open the scoring in the 16th minute but Kenny’s powerful header from Baxter’s freekick in the 26th minute made it 1-1.

Four minutes into the second half a Kibler-Melby header was headed off the line by John Guthrie then Macleod was forced to bring on Nabil Mozaffaruddin and Navin Velupillay for Baxter and Kenny while also replacing towering central midfielder Mat Luak with Sergio Yanez.

The deadlock was broken in the 81st minute when a superb Yanez cross from the right was headed home by Mozaffaruddin and the large Langy crowd erupted.

In the 91st minute a stunning Yanez volley was acrobatically tipped over

by Caulfield keeper Dennys Martin but in the 99th minute Belger sent

During the pre-season doubts were raised over Currie’s workrate but the teenager has been able to turn his game around and now is a potent attacking force brimful of confidence.

Mornington too is a confident outfit as shown by its commanding 4-0 win over fourth-placed Warragul United at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday.

Adam Jamieson’s outfit hit the mark in the 20th minute with a header from livewire forward Wayne Gordon and regular scorer Sammy Orritt made it 2-0 in the 26th minute with a firsttime strike from Ryan Paczkowski’s cutback from the right.

When Paczkowski headed home at

Frankston Times 7 August 2017

the near post from a Gordon corner in the 36th minute the contest was over.

Paczkowski added a second late in the second half to complete the rout.

Mornington travels to Lawton Park to take on the league leader on Saturday 19 August in the most anticipated clash on the peninsula in recent times.

Harry McCartney reports that Frankston Pines all but assured itself of safety in State 2 South-East with Saturday’s 1-0 away win over bottom side Seaford United.

An 87th minute winner from Graham Hill was all that separated the local rivals.

The result leaves Seaford staring into the abyss as Pines skip six points clear of relegation.

Peninsula Strikers gained what may prove to be an important point when it drew 0-0 away to Old Scotch

in their State 2 South-East clash on Saturday.

Referee Yoav Fisher sent off Tom Hawkins for serious foul play in the 32nd minute forcing Strikers to battle with 10 men for the remainder of the contest.

The result maintains Strikers’ twopoint lead over second-bottom Doncaster Rovers which drew 2-2 with Heatherton United last weekend.

State 3 South-East promotion candidate Skye United hosted a strong Monbulk Rangers outfit on Saturday and eventually went down 1-0.

Steve McCrae’s header midway through the first half was enough to settle the issue in a dour affair.

However Skye remained in second spot after Brandon Park slipped up against ninth-placed Middle Park with a shock 2-1 loss.

Baxter’s State 4 South promotion hopes are slim after Saturday’s 1-0 loss to title contender Springvale City.

But departing coach Roy Kilner was proud of his side’s determined display.

“We were awesome and I couldn’t have asked for more,” said Kilner.

The decisive moment came in the 72nd minute when Adem Alicevic broke into a one-on-one with Baxter keeper Francis Beck and slotted home the winner.

The first half had been a tight affair with Springvale rattling the bar, Beck making two good saves and striker Mark Pagliarulo blasting a left-foot effort over from a good position.

Alan Lipsett and Jake Kidder were forced into goal-line clearances in the second half and Baxter’s claims for a penalty in the 86th minute were waved away by referee Pat Couty.

The result leaves Springvale on top of the table on goal difference from Bayside Argonauts with Monash Uni and Dandenong South two points behind them.

Rosebud Heart hammered visitor Endeavour Hills Fire 6-0 in their State 4 South fixture on Saturday.

Heart midfielder Will O’Brien opened the scoring in the fourth minute when he skinned two defenders and hit a well-placed low drive past Endeavour keeper Stuart Tolmie.

Blake Hicks made it 2-0 in the 18th minute with a curling left-foot shot into the top far corner and two minutes later a Mikey Turner corner was headed against the bar by Daniel Hodge and Dave Greening headed home the rebound.

Greening broke through and made it 4-0 in the 31st minute and in the 61st minute Hodge buried his header from Turner’s corner to make it 5-0.

A superb ball by Hicks in the 68th minute picked out Greening who flicked the ball over a defender’s head then unleashed a left-foot volley that nearly took the net off to seal his hat-trick.

Greening has now officially scored 26 league goals this season and five goals in cup matches.

Endeavour’s dismal day was complete in the 80th minute when Gilbert Palmire’s penalty attempt was saved at full stretch by Heart custodian Sean Skelly.

State 5 South outfit Somerville Eagles went down 5-0 to title contender Sandown Lions on Saturday.

A hat-trick to Dak Kong and goals from Math Thowat and substitute Duol Kuei kept Sandown on top of the league ladder.

If WNPL side Southern United needed confirmation of onfield improvement this season it came on Saturday at Centenary Park when it went down 2-1 to league leader South Melbourne.

Two contentious penalties, a controversially disallowed Courtney Heuston goal in the first half and a second half largely controlled by Southern were hallmarks of its gritty display.

South Melbourne was 2-0 up after 11 minutes thanks to a double from Melina Ayres, her first coming from the penalty spot.

The persistence of Southern youngster Savanna Anastopoulos paid off in the 52nd minute when she reduced the arrears and although South Melbourne was awarded a second penalty Southern keeper Christine Fonau made a superb save.

Southern’s under-18s lost 5-0 while the under-15s lost 4-2 with Giulia Mazzeo scoring four goals while Anastassia Pusca and former Traralgon City star Monique Lapenta replied for Southern.

The under-13s continued their march towards the title with a dominant 7-0 victory over fourth-placed South Melbourne.

Southern’s goals came from Candy Kilderry (2), Danica Vukcevic, Rhys McKenna, Taylah Hennekam, Charli Phillips and an own goal from South’s Erica Arenius.

Mordialloc “bounce back” with dominant victory

By Ben Triandafillou THE Mordialloc women’s development side have hit back after suffering their first loss for the season against Murrumbeena in Round 10.

The Bloods (13.11.89) returned with an 89-point victory over Edithvale-Aspendale (0.0.0) at Ben Kavanagh Reserve, Mordialloc on Sunday 30 July.

While Mordialloc suffered their first loss for the season to Murrumbeena in the previous round of the Southern Football Netball Women’s Development League, coach Natty Cardamone said they weren’t too fazed by it and actually learned a lot from it.

“We always knew Murrumbeena were going to be a big ask but we weren’t too fazed to have a loss, it’s actually something we probably needed,” she said.

“We had a few players out so it was good to

see everyone step up and give everything they had against Murrumbeena.

“It didn’t affect our morale so we were ready to bounce back against Edi-Asp.” Mordialloc dominated throughout the match with T. Rosenquist having an all-time best performance kicking a total of four goals with J. Miller kicking three goals.

Mordialloc is set to face Murrumbeena again in round 13 where they’ll travel to Murrumbeena Park, Murrumbeena on Saturday 12 August kicking off at 10:15am.

Winning return: Mordialloc Women’s football side return with a victory after a narrow defeat at the hands of Murrumbeena. Picture: supplied

Lifesavers recognised for dedicating their lives

By Ben Triandafillou MEMBERS of the lifesaving and aquatic community from the Mornington Peninsula were awarded for their dedication to saving lives at the 14th annual Life Saving Victoria Award of Excellence on Saturday 29 July.

More than 280 guests, including Victorian lifesavers, aquatic industry members and dignitaries, attended the gala event.

Bonbeach Life Saving Club collected three of the four major awards with Lloyd Thomas from Bonbeach LSC being awarded the John Wishart Memorial Medal as Lifesaver of the Year for his ‘outstanding contribution to lifesaving’.

Bonbeach LSC was also presented with Outstanding Achievement of the Year for their 2017 CALD Surf Rescue Certificate Program, the Volunteer Assessor of the Year which was awarded to Stephanie Thomas Reindel and the Volunteer of the Year award which went to Dawn Walterfang.

President’s Certificates were presented to Joshua Ritchie-Crichton from Gunnamatta SLSC and Kieran Hanley from Rosebud and McCrae LSC for helping save the life of a man who suffered a heart attack at a cricket match earlier this year.

Samantha Howe from Point Leo SLSC was named Athlete of the Year with Tamara Brawn, also from Point Leo SLSC, collecting the award for Competition Official of the Year.

Greg Schmidt of Mentone SLSC was the recipient for the Nipper Program Volunteer of the Year, and Mount Martha LSC was awarded the Patrol Efficiency Club of the Year.

Portsea SLSC also collected awards with Rebecca Gould earning the Membership and Leadership Development Service Award and Dr Natalie Hood earning a Life Membership.

Life Saving Victoria’s President, Tom Mollenkopf, paid tribute to the nominees and winners for their ongoing commitment to the lifesaving movement.

“This special event recognises and celebrates the exceptional achievements our dedicated volunteers, staff, and members of the broader aquatic community make throughout the year,” he said.

“Everyone in the organisation takes great pride in the work they carry out, and this is a wonderful way to acknowledge those who go above and beyond to contribute to all aspects of lifesaving in Victoria.”

By Ben Triandafillou PENINSULA Boxing has made another dent in the Australian boxing scene with all three of their boxers making it to the finals of the Australian Elite Golden Gloves in Western Australia on Friday 28 July.

Representatives Jack Gipp, April Franks and 2016 Rio Olympian Jason Whateley left nothing in the ring to return home with two gold championship belts.

Jack Gipp, who hadn’t fought since the Youth World Championships in Russia last year, made a dominant return, beating one of the local Western Australian favorites, Keira Ruston, on the Friday night.

Gipp went on to defeat another tough Western Australian boxer, Zi Foo, in the final of the Men’s Middle weight-division (75kg), taking the belt in the first round.

“Jack beat two of the favorites in the tournament quite convincingly and in the process won fighter of the tournament,” Peninsula Boxing head-coach Marcos Amada said.

“He’s been away since November last year so he could recoup and get his head together, so it’s great to see him back and firing.”

Whateley, who recently earned a silver medal at the Elite Men’s Oceania Championships in Queensland, went straight through to the finals of the Men’s heavy-weight division (91kg) on the Saturday night due to a lack of opponents.

“Whateley fought in the straight final against Western Australian local, Brandon Rees, and like Jack was very dominant in winning his belt,” Amada said.

April Franks also took to the ring on the Friday night defeating Western Australian boxer, Ricki Beatson, in her ninth fight of her career.

Franks then went on to face an experienced Queensland boxer, Skye Nicolson, in the final of the Women’s Bantam weight-division (52-56kg) and was defeated in a hard-fought battle.

“Nicolson has had just over 100 fights, earned a bronze medal at the world titles and is an ambassador for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, so it was a big ask for someone who was going into her 10th fight,” Amada said.

“She did an exceptional job. She lost the fight but she probably got more out of that fight than she had in her past matches.”

Franks and Gipp are now preparing for their first lot of Victorian titles on 12 August in the lead-up to the Commonwealth Games.

“April won’t be going to the Commonwealth Games because of the weight divisions at the moment for the women which don’t suit her,” Amada said.

“We have been prepared for this and have made sure this year was a development year for her so she can experience boxing at the top level.”

Whateley will head to Hamburg, Germany for the World Boxing Championships on the 25 August.

Top performance: Peninsula Boxers, Jason Whateley, April Franks, Jack Gipp and head-coach Marcos Amada, returned home with two championship belts.
