Court for family violence

Bright future

Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A SPECIALIST family violence court to be established in Frankston is among a raft of state budget measures that MP Paul Edbrooke says “commit more to the prevention of family violence than the whole nation put together”.

The new court – expected to be at the magistrates’ court in Fletcher Rd – was included in a $1.9 billion package to tackle family violence across the state.

Other similar courts will be established at Ballarat, Shepparton, Moorabbin and Heidelberg magistrates’ courts at a cost of $90 million over five years.

“There’s no sugar coating the fact that we are confronted with a terrible family violence issue in our community and we can choose to bury our heads or treat it,” Mr Edbrooke said.

“I choose to treat it and this investment is part of a coordinated response towards ensuring everyone can feel safe in their own home.”

Mr Edbrooke said the family violence court would be a “lifesaver”.

“We know that we are over-represented in this area and this, and the proposed support and safety hubs, are going to make a difference.”

A function of the courts will be to “enhance safety and accessibility for victim survivors,” budget papers said.

“The funding will also ensure that the facilities in these courts are equipped

with a range of interventions to challenge perpetrator behaviour and hold them to account.”

Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial, a Victoria Police officer, welcomed a dedicated family violence court in Frankston.

“It’s a great step towards supporting people in the community who are experiencing family violence,” he said.

“Family violence has far-reaching impacts for all members of the family and is reflected in the overall health and wellbeing of the community.

“It is an unfortunate reality that Frankston experiences the highest rate of family violence call outs in metropolitan Melbourne.

“Frankston Council has been a strong advocate for service improvements in this area and endorses the importance of all levels of government working together on such a vital issue.”

A support and safety hub will be established later this year.

Designed as a central point for information, triage and access for those experiencing family violence, the hub will cater to victim survivors and their friends and family, and be an access point for doctors, teachers and police.

At the hub, additional training on preventing and responding to family violence will be given to mental health, alcohol and drug, and child protection workers.

Cannabis crop seized after fire MORE than 900 marijuana plants were seized in a raid on a Seaford factory, Thursday 4 May. The crop came to light when firemen arrived to extinguish a small blaze – ironically started when an illegal hydroponic set-up heating the plants caught fire. A passer-by saw smoke and called 000.

Detective Sergeant Peter Morris, of Frankston CIU, said he “could not put a value on the crop at this early stage” as the plants were at varying stages of maturity.

“It was an elaborate set-up covering the entire floor,” he said.

The factory, on the corner of Rutherford, Lathams and Stephenson roads, had been tenanted six months. Detectives had spoken to the owner and were searching for the tenants, Friday.

Stadium process audit voted down

Toy story brings joy A LIBRARY born in its founder’s living room will celebrate 40 years of bringing joy to children this month at an open day on Saturday 20 May. The Frankston Toy Library, now based at Ebdale Community Hub, first opened its doors to the community in 1977 at the home of founder Bev Le Bas. The library hires out toys, books and educational games and puzzles to children and hosts parent’s groups sessions for all the family in return for a minimal annual membership fee.

Membership has grown to about 400 throughout several moves including a 1978 move to the Karingal Uniting Church, a 1985 relocation to the Mechanics Hall and 1995 shift to the Frankston Arts Centre before settling in at larger premises at Ebdale Community Hub in 2012.

Everyone is welcome to come to our celebration, we will have free craft activities for children,” Frankston Toy Library vice president Tracy Lambert said. “There will be free fairy floss and popcorn and free facepainting, a sausage sizzle and lots of toys on show for kids to play with and explore.”

Frankston Toy Library celebrates its 40th birthday on Saturday 20 May, 10am-4pm at Ebdale Community Centre, 20 Ebdale St, Frankston, all welcome. Official cake cutting at 1pm.

AN independent review of Frankston Council’s handling of negotiations over a new lease for the Frankston Basketball Stadium has been ruled out of bounds while negotiations remain deadlocked.

Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial used his mayoral casting vote at last Monday’s public council meeting to stop the commencement of an audit of “the processes and negotiations of the Frankston Basketball Association building extension project” after councillors voted 4-4 on Cr Glenn Aitken’s notice of motion calling for an immediate review.

The mayor said the Frankston & District Basketball Association have been “very difficult to deal with” during lease negotiations.

“They don’t want any rent reviews,” Cr Cunial said.

Lawyers for council and the association are involved in lease negotiations and Sport and Recreation Victoria, a state Department of Human Services department body, is a party to talks between council and the FDBA. It is understood that council and the association are now looking at annual lease payments of about $60,000 each year plus an additional $20,000 after stage one works to install four new courts taking the total number of basketball courts at the stadium to ten.

The association had previously accused council of “double dipping” by effectively wanting to raise rent to about

Many happy returns: Sienna is looking forward to celebrating the Frankston Toy Library’s birthday this month. Picture: Gary Sissons

$130,000 annually alongside $1 million of association members’ money being pitched in to the stadium upgrade.

Council initially committed $4 million of ratepayers’ money, increased to $5 million last month when council waived the association’s $1 million contribution offer, to the expansion.

The project also has $2.5 million of state government money and $5.2 million of federal government money from taxpayers.

Cr Cunial said he would support a review of the lease negotiations after a deal is agreed if that is supported by councillors in future.

He said it is customary for any mayoral vote to “maintain the status quo” and that would not include ordering an audit of the lease negotiations at this stage.

“I would prefer the council gets an independent party in to investigate this [process],” Cr Aitken said at the meeting. “Failing that, I would suggest the [state] government may investigate the matter of its own accord.”

FBDA president Greg Emery slammed the mayor’s latest public comments about lease negotiations.

“The FDBA is concerned that mayor Cunial’s comments may mislead the Frankston municipality into believing that the FDBA is responsible for the lack of progress with the current lease negotiations,” he said. “Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Council ‘all at sea’ on port Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au AN abrupt about turn by Frankston councillors withdrawing support for a container port at Hastings has plunged council into troubled waters.

The Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Shire councils previously officially supported the establishment of a port at Hastings by a state government potentially decades from now.

A second container port to service the Melbourne area will be needed when the Port of Melbourne reaches capacity.

Councillors at last Monday evening’s public council meeting on 1 May voted to oppose the establishment of a port at Hastings after Cr Quinn McCormack urged fellow elected representatives to

DRAMA

oppose any dredging or deepening in the Ramsar-listed Western Port Bay to protect marine life, seagrass and tourism business.

A 6-2 vote by councillors saw Frankston Council’s previous official policy stance, reiterated just last month at April’s public meeting, support a port at Hastings instead of an alternative proposal to build a second container port servicing Melbourne at Geelong’s Bay West.

Councillors at the previous April public council meeting voted 5-4 to support a port at Hastings.

“Western Port supports thousands of species of marine animals including colonies of penguins and Australian fur seals,” Cr McCormack said at the meeting.

Oil spills and ship groundings due to “navigational errors” were also flagged

as dangers to Western Port Bay’s “marine ecosystem” by Cr McCormack.

She noted there would be 47 million cubic metres dredged at Western Port Bay, “more than double what happened in Port Phillip Bay”.

“Portsea beach is now sandbagged as a result of the dredging of Port Phillip Bay,” Cr McCormack said.

Crs Glenn Aitken, Kris Bolam, McCormack, Sandra Mayer, Lillian O’Connor and Steve Toms voted last week to oppose a port at Hastings.

Mayor Cr Brian Cunial and Cr Michael O’Reilly supported the port.

Cr Colin Hampton was absent from last week’s meeting. He voted in support of the port in April.

Crs Kris Bolam and Sandra Mayer changed their view on the port at Hastings between April and May’s vote.

The pair backed a Hastings port in

April then decided to oppose it weeks later.

When contacted by The Times Cr Bolam said “it is only natural to evolve on legacy issues” and he personally had doubts about the estimated economic boost to the region’s economy is the port is built at Hastings.

Cr Mayer said she previously supported a port for “job creation” reasons “but I can’t support something which will have serious consequences for the environment”.

“Since I can’t be certain that it won’t, and the port is a good 50 years away, I believe that our time and resources would be better spent on other job creating opportunities which have more certainty, less detrimental impact to the environment and can be achieved in our lifetime,” she said.

“I understand the differing views of

our councillors and respect their right to voice their opinion on matters that affect our community and environment,” Cr Cunial said in a statement.

“However, given the extensive consultation, investigation and advocacy undertaken by council over many years on this project, I consider this recent decision to be premature and lacking sufficient discussion as to council’s previous position.”

The matter will now be debated again by Frankston councillors for a third time in as many months at June’s public council meeting.

State Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said council’s “flip-flop” on the port is “yet another example of Frankston Council wasting ratepayers’ money on their own personal political agendas and not consulting the Frankston community.”

Marchers ‘take Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au

Hot on roof: Firefighters brought blaze in Frankston’s Lewis St under control last week. Picture: Gary Sissons

Crews tackle house fire FIREMEN were forced to cut into the roof of a house on fire in Lewis St, Frankston, last week in their efforts to fight a fire inside.

Crews from Frankston and Patterson Lakes brigades used two pumpers, teleboom, salvage truck and control vehicles to tackle the fire at the single storey brick veneer, 2.30am, Wednesday 3 May.

PAGE 4

Frankston Times 8 May 2017

Frankston duty officer Stuart Curnow said the cause of the fire had not been determined, Wednesday. “A prompt response by about 15 firefighters contained the fire in about 20 minutes,” he said.

No one was injured and it was unclear if the house was occupied at the time.

A MARCH to “take back the night” attended by up to 150 people last Saturday (29 April) was aimed at letting a distressed Seaford woman that “she is not alone”.

“We can’t change her life but I feel we helped her life,” Seaford Night March organiser Emmaline Jones said, referring to a 19-year-old attacked and sexually assaulted as she walked home from Seaford station, 3.10am, Saturday 1 April.

The march started at the station and continued along Railway Parade to mirror the route the woman took before being attacked near Seaford North Reserve.

Ms Jones, speaking alongside the march’s coorganiser Lana Nicholson, said support by both men and women was “fantastic”.

“We had originally hoped for about 30 people to turn up but, in the end, we had about 150,” she said.

The catalyst for the march was derogatory social media comment criticising the woman for walking home alone at that time of the morning.

“The victim was being blamed but I thought: ‘Where is the witch-hunt for him?’” Ms Jones said.

“We originally planned to meet at 3am and say ‘here we are’.”

But, once out on social media, the rally’s cause generated a huge tide of support and confirmed community views on the woman’s “basic human right” to walk home alone whenever she liked.

Ms Jones, who has three daughters and admits to being “passionate” about women’s safety, said: “Those terrible events changed the course of that woman’s life and that didn’t sit well with me.

“At the end of the day, we all have the right

to walk anywhere at any time without men like him attacking us – in fact he doesn’t deserve the right to be called a man. Someone knows him and they should notify police.”

Ms Jones said she had a “few ideas” about improving women’s safety, which may even involve self-defence classes.

“Yes we need to equip ourselves but we should really be pointing the finger at men who attack women.”

Police set up an information caravan at Seaford the day before in an attempt to glean information about the man.

He is described as having a tanned complexion with brown hair, thin build and an Australian accent. He was wearing jeans with a belt and a dark coloured t-shirt. He has a distinctive mole on the left side of his cheek or chin and small teeth.

The victim’s black jeans and a Nike runner were left at the scene and police are keen to speak to anyone living nearby who may have

seen items of clothing.

Detective Sergeant Rodney Neylan is calling on the attacker to come forward.

“I appeal to the conscience of the man to make contact with us,” he said.

“We are gathering evidence which is being analysed so it’s only a matter of time before we identify him and knock on his door.”

The investigation is ongoing.

Family violence court ‘lifesaver’ Continued from Page 1 Mr Edbrooke said funding for the family violence court and support and safety hub “will not just change lives in our community – this investment will save lives”.

The capacity of the coroner’s court to investigate family violence-related deaths will also be expanded.

In other state budget measures: More than 68,000 extra cases of assistance will be provided to victim survivors of family violence for crisis and case management support, and specialist family violence support, across the state.

This includes 1000 flexible packages to support immediate safety, such as relocation and private rental costs, and support for longer-term recovery, such as education.

Face-to-face after-hours crisis support will be expanded, and funding will continue to support the 24/7 telephone-based-crisis service.

Victims of family violence will receive 11,000 additional cases of assistance for counselling and therapeutic support to aid their recovery.

The private rental ‘head-leasing’ program will be expanded, so victim survivors and their children can access safe and affordable private rental housing, and get out of crisis accommodation.

Thirteen family violence refuges will be redeveloped to move to the ‘core and cluster’ model by 2020.

Towering achievement: Paula Treacy, left, and Cara Mackey all smiles after abseiling down a 27-floor building in Melbourne for charity.

This moves away from communal living into individual unit accommodation in a secure setting.

About 4000 men who perpetrate violence against women will have access to voluntary places in behaviour change programs.

The capacity of the Men’s Referral Service will be expanded.

Other funding commitments announced in the 2016-17 state budget include: n $5.8 million for a McClelland College school hall n $200,000 for a kitchen at Mahogany Rise Primary School n $85,000 for Eric Bell Reserve netball courts n $100,000 for Peninsula Strikers Soccer Club renovations including female changerooms n $75,000 Banyan Fields Primary School upgrades n $3 million Carrum Downs Secondary College upgrades n $1 million Frankston High School upgrades n $2.13 million Mount Erin Secondary College upgrades $5 million Seaford North Primary School upgrades

Firefighters’ effort scales heights TWO Frankston firefighters to fund raising to new heights last Friday (28 April) by abseiling down a 27-floor building in central Melbourne.

Paula Tracey and Cara Mackey were among eight fireys who abseiled down Bourke St’s St James Building to raise money for Anglicare Victoria as part of an ‘Altitude Shift’ fundraiser.

“They say do something every now and again that scares you and I thought this was a good opportunity that wasn’t going to come my way again,” Ms Tracey, who has been a firefighter for 20 years, said.

“It’s also about helping Anglicare to raise the funds they need and getting the message out there about what an awesome job they do.”

Ms Mackey, who has been a professional firefighter for

two years, said she was approached by one of her peers to get involved and signed up straight away.

“I’ve just had a baby so I’ve had to get back in shape for work which will help a lot with this,” Ms Mackey said.

“I hope as a team we can raise awareness for Anglicare and the work they do as well as get involved in doing good things for our community.”

Anglicare Victoria provides support to 80,000 children, young people and families every year.

The charity offer services including emergency food and crisis accommodation and programs including foster care, financial counselling and parent education.

THE GUILD was formed in 1984 with objectives of: • Bringing people together interested in all facets of the craft; • Expanding the interest in the craft by developing the talents of members through lectures, demonstrations and workshop experience; and • Bringing the craft to the wider population through exhibitions, workshops etc.

Membership grew from humble beginnings to over 200 and the Guild now has its own demonstration/ meeting area with audio visual facilities and a dedicated workshop with a number of lathes, and associated equipment where training sessions are held for members, under the guidance of tutors, 6 days per week.

The Guild is a self-funded organisation and regularly holds demonstrations and exhibitions

at outside locations.

The first of the biennial competitions was held in 1991. These are conducted as a focus for members to enhance their skills and have their items adjudicated by professional woodturners, the woodturning community, and the general public. The initial competitions were modest affairs but are now held in public facilities with dignitaries invited to officially open and attend the exhibitions. Entries are from beginner woodturners, intermediate, to those very experienced and talented and many of the entrants advance to prominence in national competitions.

The cost of running these events are covered by the members, sponsors, raffles and a modest entry fee.

In 2017 there will be nearly 1000 items on display.

Police patrol Wrong turn POLICE allegedly found the drugs ice and GHB in a car which had previously driven off the road and into a ditch in McCormick’s Rd, Skye, 2.55am, Saturday 29 April.

Senior Sergeant Glenn Michie, of Frankston police, said the car had sped off before police arrived but was later seen in Alice Court, Skye, and pulled over. The male driver, 40, of Frankston, was arrested and charged with trafficking and possessing methamphetamine and other drugs of dependence, including ecstasy and cannabis, as well as failing to stop.

He was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Blood trail

Heater theft: An image of the man police wish to speak to.

Detective Senior Constable Darren Paxton, of Frankston CIU, said the man took a Dyson heater/cooler from a display stand at The Good Guys store and drove off in a white Ford sedan parked outside, 11am, Friday 14 April.

The car has a damaged rear/side panel and the rear left tail-light is missing. When last seen it had an L-plate on the left-side windscreen.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

A MAN left a trail of bloody footprints after walking away from a Frankston North house where he had been stabbed, 1.30am, Friday 28 April.

Frankston detectives said the man, 52, of Seaford, may have been beaten at the house in Whitewood Avenue before being stabbed in the groin area.

He had left a 500-metre blood trail when he was found walking along Telopea Court.

A crime scene was established at the house and the four occupants, two men and two women, were questioned and then arrested.

Woman ‘chroming’ A FRANKSTON mother asleep at home with her six-year-old daughter woke to find a “crazed” woman in her lounge room, 11pm, Wednesday 26 April. Police said the woman, 29 – intoxicated as a result of chroming – had entered the Melva Court house through an unlocked front door and believed she was “home”. Traces of chrome-coloured paint over her face and mouth hinted at her altered state of mind.

Fearing for the safety of her daughter, the mother did her best to calm the situation until she could convince the woman to leave.

CENTRELINK and Medicare offices have temporarily relocated to Bayside Shopping Centre, opposite The Reject Shop and the Pets Domain stores, after a fire at Davey St last month.

“This is a short term move while the service centre on the corner of Davey Street and Young Street undergoes repairs,” Victorian Department of Human Services general manager Hank Jongen said.

“We expect the building to remain closed over the next four to six weeks.”

There is also be a drop box for Medicare claims, document lodgement facilities, and DVA Veterans Information Services.

The temporary Frankston Service Centre will be open 8.30am-4.30pm Monday to Friday, at Bayside Shopping Centre, Beach St, Frankston.

Rotary raffle deal COMMUNITY groups wanting to earn funds without risk and hassle are invited to join an annual community raffle organised by Frankston North Rotary.

Rotary organises the prizes, permits, prints the tickets and oversees the running of the raffle, while the community groups sell them. The raffle being sold now closes on 24 May. Tickets are $2 each, and, last year, a dividend of $1.50 was paid back to the ticket selling group for every ticket sold, organiser Mike Goonan.

“Community groups, schools or clubs can take as many tickets as they can sell and reap the benefits.

“Over the past 27 years, the raffle has returned around $1.7 million to community groups, schools and clubs.”

Mr Goonan said many community groups had been supported: from small groups such as the Seagulls Club, which last year raised around $150 for senior citizens’ outings and activities, to large groups such as Knights of the Southern Cross, which last year raised about $13,000 to help support the wider community and to foster the Christian way of life.

“Last year’s first prize winner is looking forward to a cruise with her husband from Rome to the Amalfi Coast, Sicily and Croatia on a small yacht,” Mr Goonan said.

“After that they pick up their granddaughter and travel to a holiday house in Spain and, from there, they travel to Hamburg.

“First prize is a holiday to anywhere you want, courtesy National Network Travel and Cruise, valued at $15,000.

Second prize is a weekend away by the same agency valued at $3000, and third prize is $1000 worth of electrical goods from The Good Guys.”

Tickets are on sale now for the raffle which is closing on Wednesday 24 May. The winners will be drawn on Wednesday 7 June.

‘All clear’ for speed cameras Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE Road Safety Camera Commissioner has backed the performance of the Peninsula Link speed cameras and reproached motorists contesting their fines.

The commissioner, John Voyage, was asked to investigate the cameras

by Police Minister Lisa Neville after “public disquiet about the system” – most noticeably by members of the 108 group who claimed they had “set their vehicle’s cruise controls and so the detected speed reading was in error”.

Mr Voyage stated in his report that he was “unable to find any error in any of the aspects of the road safety camera systems along Peninsula Link”.

His investigation covered six sites of instant camera systems and four point-to-point zones.

“I find there to be a pervasive culture … among drivers of slowing at cameras and then speeding up after passing the camera,” Mr Voyage said.

“I also find that there is substantial misunderstanding by … drivers of the way the point-to-point road safety camera systems on Peninsula Link operate.”

Mr Voyage stated that “after the most detailed analysis … no errors or faults were found. “The system is operating accurately, and its integrity has been validated.”

Three cameras gauge drivers’ speed between the Skye Rd Bridge, Frankston, and Mornington-Tyabb

Eyes up high: Peninsula Link cameras snap speeding motorists.

Rd, Moorooduc, going south, and three face drivers going north, between Loders Rd and Skye Rd. At each camera site dual devices measure the speed of every vehicle the instant it passes the camera. A photograph is taken of every vehicle passing through, regardless of the speed. Vehicles’ registrations are matched, as well as the time at each point.

Zones between cameras have been measured, so the calculation of distance divided by time gives a minimum average speed between the two points, or point-to-point speed.

Mr Voyage said only two drivers had backed up their complaints with data.

“Using the data logs supplied … we were able to track these two vehicles’ journeys, as well as the journeys of vehicles travelling in their vicinity. The data records these vehicles overtaking numerous other

vehicles but not being overtaken.

“A third driver, who has not contacted my office, made various assertions in the media and provided limited data to the media. His matter is apparently before the courts.

“No other complainant provided any data, or dash-cam footage, or the like. Only two sets were received, and both GPS data logs were of little or no probative value.”

Mr Voyage said: “After exhaustive analysis, we have no evidence of any failures in the road safety camera system; and no evidence of reliance upon cruise control leading to adverse outcomes.”

He said many drivers expressed the “erroneous belief that the pointto-point system would average the speeds at the two instantaneous ends of the zone; others thought that the point-to-point measure would be avoided by travelling at or below the speed limit at the in-

stantaneous cameras”.

“These beliefs are wrong and misconceived.”

The point-to-point system will measure the average speed of all vehicle journeys between the two instantaneous cameras, regardless of the speed of entry and exit from the point-to-point zone.

The report considered 60 million records, analysed 67,235 infringements and “many millions of individual journeys through the Peninsula Link road safety camera system”, Mr Voyage said.

“We have analysed the driving behaviour of the alleged ‘infringers’ against all other drivers.

“We have used the data to assess whether there is any anomaly, or spike in the graph, for infringements at any particular speed (the 108kph Facebook group had been especially vocal).”

Mr Voyage said he had “no doubt that the data … showed a behaviour by drivers inconsistent with the claimed ‘set my cruise control and maintained constant speed’” explanation.

He said it showed a behaviour of “altering speed at the cameras”.

“This is consistent with a repeated comment from complainants of ‘I know where the cameras are’, which seems to imply some conscious or unconscious driving modification at the cameras.

“These data show that this group of drivers, all of whom have received … infringements, are likely to be regular faster-than-the-limit travellers in the point-to-point, and have significantly slower (and compliant) speeds at the instantaneous zone.”

The Biggest Morning Tea takes to the sea

SEAROAD Ferries is teaming up with the Cancer Council to raise vital funds for cancer research, prevention and support programs by taking Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea to Port Phillip Bay on Friday 26 May 2017.

Departing from Sorrento at 11am, Searoad Ferries’ inaugural Biggest Morning Tea will see passengers enjoy a 4-hour Port Phillip Bay sailing and delicious morning tea, serving up sweet and savoury morsels sourced from the Bellarine and Mornington Peninsulas. The event will be hosted by comedian, Andrew Iles, with live music, auctions, lucky door prizes, and a mystery raffle providing further entertainment.

All proceeds from the auctions and raffle, as well as 50% of the ticket price, will be donated to the Cancer Council.

Now in its 24th year, Biggest Morning Tea is one of the Cancer Council’s leading fundraising events. In 2017, with the help of hosts such as Searoad Ferries, the Cancer Council aims to raise $13 million to support those affected by cancer.

Searoad Ferries CEO, Matt McDonald, said the idea to host a Biggest Morning Tea onboard Searoad Ferries came from some of the ferry employees.

“We have been so inspired by the enthusiasm, initiative and dedication shown by the staff to get our first Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser off the ground,” Matt said.

“Cancer is something that affects us all at some point in time. We are proud to support such an important cause and a great organisation in the Cancer Council. We are really excited about our first Biggest Morning Tea and with the support of the community, hope it is something we can continue into the future,” he said.

Tickets for the Biggest Morning Tea are $80, with $40 from all tickets being donated to the Cancer Council. As well as the sailing, morning tea and entertainment, all passengers will also receive a showbag full of goodies.

Bookings are essential. To purchase your ticket or for further information, please visit www.searoad.com.au/bmt or call 5257 4500.

Art in heart: Woodleigh School graduate Katherine Robertson is back at the Langwarrin school as an arts assistant. Picture: Yanni

Science of art for top achiever STUDENTS across Victoria have been recognised in this year’s Premier’s VCE Awards for completing the Victorian Certificate of Education “with distinction”.

Woodleigh School’s Katherine Robertson last week received a Study Award for her perfect VCE score of 50 in Studio Arts.

The Langwarrin school graduate, 18, a Frankston South resident, has returned to the school to work as an arts assistant after deferring study for a science degree at the University of Melbourne for a year.

“I like so many subjects like science, humanities and arts but would like to go into the science field eventually,” she said.

“Like many people my age I want to make a difference and contribution to the world and

I’d like to facilitate that through science but I’d like to combine all my interests.”

Frankston High School student Jack Higgins also received a Study Award for Further Mathematics. Peninsula Grammar’s Charlotte Holland (Legal Studies) and Linh They Nguyen (Top International Student) also received awards.

Brianna Blake, of Mt Eliza’s Toorak College, received a Study Award for biology.

“Not all students can attain a Premier’s VCE Award but every student can aim to get the best out of themselves,” Victorian Education Minister James Merlino said.

“That is why we want every community to have access to a great school with outstanding teachers.”

Bypass linked to freeway on way Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE long-mooted Mordialloc bypass is expected to be built by 2021 after the state government announced $300 million for the project in the 2017-18 state budget unveiled on Tuesday (2 May).

A 9-kilometre road will be built between Springvale Rd in Aspendale Gardens and the Dingley Bypass in Clayton South to ease congestion in the south east.

The new Mordialloc bypass will link up with the existing Mornington Peninsula Freeway in a bid to prevent traffic jams and delays in peak hour traffic.

Mordialloc Labor MP Tim Richardson welcomed the funding for the bypass.

“I am so proud that the Labor government is building this vital and necessary road, to support local jobs and get you to work and home sooner and safer,” he said.

Premier Daniel Andrews said the government is “getting on with the job” of improving transport infrastructure as part of a $9 billion infrastructure spend on roads, level crossings removals, education and health ahead of next year’s state election.

“We’ll build the Mordialloc bypass to slash congestion and create jobs in Melbourne’s south east,” Mr Andrews said in a statement.

VicRoads will consult with Kingston

Council, transport businesses and residents about plans to build the Mordialloc Bypass from Aspendale Gardens to Clayton South.

A cycling and walking path will be built alongside the 9-kilometre bypass.

An overpass will separate the new bypass from the busy Springvale Rd intersection that often sees Mornington Peninsula Freeway traffic backed up in busy travel periods.

A 4.5 kilometre Mordialloc bypass was promised in 2014 by the previous Coalition state government, under then premier Denis Napthine, at a cost of $300 million.

That bypass, had the Coalition won government again, would have ended at Lower Dandenong Rd in Braeside.

State Liberal opposition spokesman for roads and infrastructure Ryan Smith criticised the state government for “going back to the drawing board” on the Mordialloc bypass.

“Under the previous Coalition government, works on the Mordialloc bypass would have commenced a year ago, under Daniel Andrews work won’t begin until 2019,” he said in a statement.

Other major funding boosts for the Kingston area in this year’s state budget included $20.5 million to demolish and rebuild the Yarrabah School in Aspendale and $2.8 million to build a new base for the Chelsea SES unit.

Budget support for mental illness

Wartime reminder: Di Maloney at the Victorian Maritime Centre, Crib Point, with the pressed poppies from Flanders Fields. Picture: Gary Sissons

Poppies among the pages POPPIES picked on Flanders Fields, France, during WWI have been found in the pages of a book donated to the Victorian Maritime Centre Museum, Crib Point.

Honorary member Norman Oates donated the book Seamanship Manual Vol I, 1932, to the museum among a number of items that had been left to him by his father, R J Oates.

Mr Oates (senior) picked the poppies at Flanders Fields and pressed them in the book where they have remained ever since.

The Victorian Maritime Centre’s Di Maloney said the poppies still showed tinges of red in their petals – even after 100 years inside the pages.

“I was overcome when I saw them,” she said. “I knew it was something I will never forget.

“I had a relative who fought there and these things bring it home to you.”

BEAT THE WINTER BLUES Control your comfort with Living Design Double Glazing.

Western Port Oberon Association president Max Bryant said Norman Oates was born in 1931 in Birkenhead, England.

“He donated a number of items to the museum, among them a book that belonged to his father.

“Norman was at one stage an English policeman or “Bobby”.

Leaving the police force he went to sea as an electrical engineer and sailed the world for many years, before migrating with his family to Australia.

“He continued working on ships – but this time without going to sea – at ship maintenance companies.

“This love of ships and the sea is what brought Norman into contact with the Western Port Oberon Association where he became an honorary member.”

Mr Oates passed away on 14 July 2014 after a long fight with cancer.

A STATE government allocation to provide more accommodation in Frankston for those with severe mental illness has been welcomed by the Council to Homeless Persons.

The funding was announced in November but formally included in last week’s budget.

The state government will provide $109 million to “intervene early and provide targeted support that helps people get back on their feet”, Premier Daniel Andrews said.

Council to Homeless Persons’ CEO Jenny Smith said that, given the increase in rough sleeping being reported by homelessness services in Frankston, and the dire shortage of affordable accommodation, we “need every single dollar allocated in the budget”.

“Last year 14,740 Victorians reported that mental illness was one of the factors that forced them to seek assistance from homelessness services,” she said.

“Providing appropriate accommodation for those experiencing mental illness is critical to preventing homelessness, as well as to regaining and maintaining stability.

“As crisis accommodation can only function as a temporary measure, people must be able to exit into permanent and affordable accommodation.

“With the private rental market in Frankston and on the peninsula now out of reach of people on very low incomes, the only way to stem rising homelessness is for both state and federal governments to invest in more public and community housing as there are still 33,000 people waiting for public housing in Victoria.”

The funding package aims to help 19,000 people at risk of or experiencing homelessness statewide over the next five years, particularly rough sleepers, young people and veterans.

About $60 million will be spent on a range of projects, including accommodation for those with severe mental illness in Frankston, as well as 120 new or developed housing units statewide, 30 unit-supported housing for women and children, and new accommodation with targeted support services in the west of Melbourne.

THE BAYS HOSPITAL

Scalp cooling for cancer patients at The Bays

A generous donation made to The Bays Hospital has enabled Mornington Peninsula residents to access scalp cooling during their cancer treatment, in an attempt to reduce their hair loss.

This service was previously only available if they travelled to Brighton or further in to the city for their chemotherapy treatment.

Patients are offered the complimentary use of this new technology at The Bays as part of their chemotherapy treatment, to reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss.

Scalp cooling has been offered for patients at Melbourne hospitals including Cabrini Brighton since 2015 and more recently Epworth Richmond, which is where many Mornington Peninsula patients have previously opted to travel for their treatment, in order to access scalp cooling.

Breast Oncoplastic Surgeon Dr Joanna Morgan says the availability of scalp cooling for patients locally in Mornington will reduce the stress caused by having to travel for their chemotherapy treatment. “Prevention of hair loss during chemotherapy can bring significant psychological benefits.

Many women will feel less noticeable and this enables them continue as much a normal life as possible during treatment, without having to discuss their cancer diagnosis. I am so pleased that women will now have the option to use scalp cooling at The Bays Hospital”, said Dr Morgan.

McGrath Foundation Breast Care Nurse, Jo Lovelock adds “for many people, the fear of losing their hair as a result of their chemotherapy treatment is very distressing. Their hair loss makes it difficult to keep a cancer diagnosis private”. Typically women

Photo: (left to right) Dr Joanne Lundy, Medical Oncologist; Jo Lovelock, McGrath Foundation Breast Care Nurse; and Dr Joanna Morgan, Breast Oncoplastic Surgeon. would use wigs, head scarfs and hats to conceal their temporary hair loss.

Dr Joanne Lundy, Medical Oncologist explains that “the cap is fitted to the patient prior to their treatment and cools the scalp. The cap remains on for the duration of the treatment and for a short time afterwards. Cooling the scalp before, during and after each chemotherapy treatment, reduces blood flow and chemotherapy delivery to hair follicles which are rapidly dividing

cells – and therefore very susceptible to damage by chemotherapy”.

According to recently published research, approximately 50 per cent of patients respond well to scalp cooling treatment for preventing hair loss. http://jamanetwork.com/journals/ jamaoncology/article-abstract/2603438 “Patients report that the caps are comfortable and with added comforts such as warm blankets, the scalp cooling is generally very tolerable

and patients feel it is well worth the extra treatment time for the results of minimizing their hair loss” said Dr Lundy.

The Bays offers a comprehensive cancer care and support service for privately insured residents on the Mornington Peninsula The new purpose-designed Day Infusion Unit opened in 2016 and features state of the art treatment chairs and equipment in a modern space with

large windows Our service includes cancer diagnosis, surgery, treatment and a support network. Our aim is to give our community access to the best cancer care available locally.

IN the industrial heart of Mornington, this prominent building on the corner of Kenji Street and Fuji Crescent offers two separate titles to be sold as one. Providing two storeys of quality office and warehouse space, this address benefits from excellent access for larger vehicles, great exposure to passing traffic and plenty of natural light. A fine investment, the property in Fuji Crescent is leased to an ASX listed tenant and has an annual return of about $40,000 per year. The second property in Kenji Street is available now with vacant possession for either a tenant or owner-occupier. There is about 172 square metres of clear-span warehouse, a small production office and staff amenities. Fully leased, these two properties could potentially generate a passing income of some $60,000 per annum (plus GST and outgoings) and on a purchase price of $1,000,000 this represents about a 6% yield.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Private Dent writes on his way to the war Compiled by Cameron McCullough LETTERS from the Front. The following letter has been received by Miss W. Scarborough from Pte Dent:– Just a line to let you know how I am getting on. We had a good trip over, the water being like a piece of glass all the way.

–– is a pretty place. The scenery is beautiful, far better that Australia. The people gave us a grand reception, giving us free meals and free tram rides all the time we were there. I can tell you we did it in great.

At the next port of call, the people were altogether different to what they were in –– We had nothing free. All we got there we had to pay for.

Our next port was another pretty place. It has only a small harbour. We could not get off the boat and had to stay there another three days till we coaled up, and then we made our way to where we are now.

We had to wear life belts day and night while on the boat. It is very cold here being their winter. It is far colder than Australia. *** SKATING was held in the Somerville Hall on Saturday night, last and there was a splendid attendance. *** A MEETING of the Frankston branch of the National Federation will be held in the Mechanics’ on Monday evening next, at 8 o’clock sharp.

A good attendance of members is requested. ***

Mr S. S. Gault, of Somerville, having secured an auctioneer’s licence, will hold his first sale at Somerville on Thursday next, when he will offer pigs, poultry, cattle, horses, and sundries. Further entries invited. *** IN reporting the celebration of Anzac Day at the Somerville State School, the name, of Mr Geo. Shepherd was accidentally left out.

Mr Geo. Shepherd showed the scholars a lot of war mementoes, which were sent to him by his son, Frank, when on active service on Gallipoli. *** IN our report of the Church of England Floral Fete last week we omitted to mention the Produce stall among the list, which was under the supervision of Mrs J. Wells, and also Miss Ruby Barclay’s name was inadverdently left out as assistant at the Refreshment stall. *** WOODS’ Great Peppermint Cure. For Coughs and Colds, never fails, 1s 6d. *** A EUCHRE party and dance was held in the Hall, on Thursday evening and proved highly successfull.

Cards were commenced at 8.30 and continued till 10.30, when it was found that the same number of points were held by several parties.

In the final play off Miss W. Rogers secured first lady’s prize, and Private Pentland first for gentlemen.

The booby prizes were won by Miss Francis, and Mr McSweeney.

Hot coffee and cakes were provided

and very much appreciated.

Dancing was continued till 2 o’clock and a thoroughly enjoyable time spent.

Mr Brierley supplied the music in a satisfactory manner.

The “Wattle” Club purposes holding a continuous euchre tournament throughout the winter months, commencing the week after next.

Mrs Deane and Mrs Moloney are donating the prizes for this tournament which will be well worth winning.

As the object is a good one–for funds to continue the entertainments for returned soldiers–and a good evening’s enjoyment is provided for a very humble sum, the members hope to see a full house on the next occasion when all will get a fair start to gain the coveted prize. *** Our Letter Box. FORESHORE PRIVILEGES TO THE EDITOR. Sir.–Though not in the least desirous of entering into a newspaper controversy I crave space in your valuable journal in order to allay any misapprehension that may have been caused by Mr Utber’s letter on this subject, dated 3rd inst.

First, Sir, permit me to say that I feel sure Mr Utber believes he is acting in the interests of the residents, and he deserves credit for his public spirit in endeavouring to redress a wrong (even though it is, as I contend, only imaginary.)

In criticising Mr G. E. Thomas’s boat house, in which he occasionally housed his motor car overnight, as reported by me to the Council.

Mr Utber is very frank in informing your readers that “on the seaward side the only means of ingress is a small door only 2 feet wide which no boat could pass, and that the floor level is 3 feet above the sand level.”

He thus seeks to prove that the building could not be used as a boat house.

He omits to state that there are two large doors at the other end of the building sufficiently wide to admit either a motor car or a boat and that the floor at this end is at ground level.

If Mr Thomas cares to put a boat in through the landward end of the building whose business is it but his own?

It certainly is no one else’s.

I am at a loss to understand Mr Utber’s contention that, if people are allowed the privelege of housing their motor cars in well built boxes or houses on the foreshore, at places selected by the council “the beauty of the foreshore would be a thing of the past etc.”

Seeing that there are already, on the foreshore, scores of ramshakle buildings, which no respectable hen would own for a shelter, but, because they are dignified by the appellation of ‘bathing boxes” Mr Utber has no objection to them.

The criticism of Mr Anderson’s boat houses and bathing box under Oliver’s Hill is still more unreasonable. In the first portion of his letter the writer fears for the beauty of the foreshore; in the next breath he emphasizes the fact that “the building is well lighted and finished, with a nice little tank attached and with seats and a movable table inside”, as if this constituted the building’s gravest offence.

What harm is the nice little tank doing?

Apparently it has never occurred to the writer that some people, after sea bathing, have a desire for a fresh water shower, or that after handling dirty boats, fish etc, they would like to wash their hands.

That being so, the only way by which they can obtain fresh water (unless they carry it about with them) is by having a tank attached to their boat house.

And why on earth should these unfortunate people not have seats and a table in their bathing box if they see fit to do so?

What crime do they commit by partaking of cakes and tea, either hot or cold therein ?

I have always endeavoured to carry out the duties of my numerous offices in a fair and impartial manner and to interfere with respectable citizens as little as possible.

It would be gross impertenance on my part were I to endeavour to prevent persons from drinking afternoon tea in their boat houses or bathing boxes, and I feel sure that any fair-minded resident will agree with me.

There is no law to prevent them doing so, and Mr Utber, as a lawyer, must know it as well as I do.

Yours faithfully, EDWIN C RYAN Shire Inspector, May 8th, 1917. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 12 May 1917

CORANDERRK Coranderrk is about what might have been. This special production pays tribute to the resilience and adaptability of a people who rose to the challenge despite the odds, appropriating the power of the written word to make their own voices ring loud and clear.

At a Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry in 1881, the men and women of the Coranderrk Aboriginal Reserve went head-to-head with the

Aboriginal Protection Board. Their goal was both simple and revolutionary: to be allowed to continue the brilliant experiment in self-determination they had pioneered for themselves on the scrap of country left to them.

Coranderrk recreates the Inquiry. This is both great theatre and great history.

It revives the voices of all those, black and white, who fought for a better pact

between the country’s oldest and newest inhabitants.

Coranderrk is a collaboration between leading Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists, researchers, education experts and community members. The production aims to encourage a shared understanding of the past between Aboriginal and nonAboriginal people.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

How Tyabb will swallow the universe

By Stuart McCullough FORGET everything you thought you knew about Tyabb. I, for one, thought I knew quite a bit the place, mostly because I grew up there. In my lifetime, there have been some notable changes.

The town has gone from not having any traffic lights at all to having two sets and now boasts its own tattoo parlour. Surely a multi-storey carpark is inevitable. But despite these major advancements, Tyabb has been downgraded and officially reclassified as a ‘remote’ township. At least, that was the reason given to my father when they cut off his newspaper deliveries.

For decades, my father had both papers home delivered. And by ‘home delivered’, I don’t mean delivered to his house but lobbed out the window of a passing car so that they’re somewhere up near the top of the driveway.

If that seems like splitting hairs on the whole ‘home delivery’ thing, it’s worth noting that the driveway is roughly half a kilometre long. Each morning, the dog would take my father for a walk and, between the pair of them; they’d collect the day’s newspapers.

Having now retired, my father would duly pore over the contents of Melbourne’s major dailies, cutting out key articles that would then be distributed amongst my siblings and me. But not anymore.

Recently, my father was told that he was too remote and that his newspapers would no longer be delivered.

This came as something of a shock.

Being reclassified as ‘remote’ demands a whole range of adjustments to suit the circumstances. For starters,

PAGE 26

Frankston Times 8 May 2017

my father will need to get himself at least one camel, if not two. Known as the ships of the desert, these creatures are the preferred mode of transport for many in remote Australia. It is not too difficult to imagine my father sitting astride a camel and heading of at speed to the Coles at Hastings for a litre of milk and a barbecue chicken.

Given that the powers that be have relegated Tyabb to ‘remote’ status and decided that it’s too far to drive, perhaps some kind of air-drop could be arranged. Luckily, Tyabb has its own airport and it’s not too much to expect that crucial supplies should be parachuted in on a regular basis. The pilot would, of course, need to take care to avoid accidentally sconing one of the camels. If the newspapers are to be delivered by air, then there’s no reason

why other staples like bread, fuel and any antique furniture my father’s had his eye on for some time could not also be flown in.

If it helps, my father’s more than willing to build an airstrip. This will negate the need to drop supplies with a parachute and the inevitable inaccuracy that comes with it. Nobody wants to spend their day knee-deep in the long grass wondering where that day’s Herald Sun has ended up. An airstrip is the obvious solution. Besides, there’s already a cricket pitch up next to the shed, near the little dam. It wouldn’t take too much to extend the pitch by a few hundred metres to accommodate small aircraft. The prospect of an aeroplane coming in to land would have the added benefit of adding some much-needed excitement to post-lunch

games of back yard cricket.

My father will also need to update his wardrobe. Out go the gumboots, tracksuit pants and the t-shirt that reads: ‘Wham! The Big Tour’, to be replaced by R.M. William pants, cowboy boots, stockwhip and a verandasized Akubra hat. Wednesdays will no longer just be ‘bin night’ but will be rechristened ‘the rubbish muster’. We’ll need to sink a bore. Maybe herd the livestock using a helicopter that looks as if it’s been assembled from a kit. My only regret in all of this is that Tyabb’s reclassification comes too late. Had it been considered ‘remote’ when I was still living there, I could have attended to all my educational needs through the ‘School of the Air’ and avoided having to go to class proper.

But here’s the rub. A short time ago,

Tyabb was not too far to go to deliver newspapers. If Tyabb is now remote, the only logical explanation is that Tyabb is expanding. So whilst advances in technology mean the world is now smaller than ever, Tyabb is getting bigger. If this continues unchecked, the rate of expansion might materially increase meaning that Tyabb starts to overwhelm the rest of the planet.

Within weeks, Tyabb might become the nation’s capital. By mid-year, we’ll be casting a shadow that reaches all the way to North Korea if not beyond.

By the end of winter, Tyabb may be so gigantic that it threatens to overwhelm the Universe.

The irony of all this is, of course, that the residents of Tyabb will be blissfully unaware. Or, if not the residents of the entire town, then certainly my father. Because news of Tyabb’s continuing upscaling and threatened absorption of the broader universe is something that would, doubtless, be reported breathlessly by all the major newspapers. Barring an aerial drop, my father will continue to exist in a news-free zone and won’t be aware of Tyabb’s exponential expansion including the very real possibility that this may overwhelm the world as we know it, creating a black-hole into which all life and matter will be sucked before disappearing forever. Instead, he and the dog will continue to walk each morning to the top of the drive and look at the spot where, once upon a time not so very long ago, newspapers were delivered. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Coach: Dog house performance ‘putrid’ PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt IT took Mornington until the 16-minute mark of the final quarter to kick its one and only goal against Pines in MPNFL Peninsula Division on Saturday.

Billed as the match of the day, it was anything but that as Mornington struggled to get out of a canter.

Pines steamrolled the Dogs in every aspect of the game and in many instances, made the opposition look second rate. The score line of 13.14 (92) to 1.5 (11) was a true reflection of the contest.

Doggies coach Chris Holcombe described the performance of his side as “putrid”.

Holcombe said the team was made to “look slow and disinterested”.

Earlier in the day on the RPP Footy Show, Holcombe said that his side was much better placed this season than last and he was excited about taking on Pines at Pines.

Fast forward a few hours and Mornington suffered its worst loss in recent memory.

Holcombe agreed that it “was the worst performance from a Mornington side that I have seen since I arrived at the club more than 15 years ago”.

Take nothing away from Pines though.

Pines was well-structured, organised, committed and confident with ball in hand. It was a far cry from what it rolled out against YCW the week before although Pines was very ordinary against YCW, couldn’t have played much worse and still only lost by four goals.

In tight: Mt Eliza kept Langwarrin goalless in the first half to notch up an impressive win.

Picture: Scott Memery

Tim Bongetti and Aaron Edwards both came into the weekend’s game under an injury cloud but both impressed and booted seven goals between them.

Luke Potts in the middle of the ground was arguably the best player on the park while Nick Boswell absolutely dominated from half back. It took Mornington until midway through the last quarter to put a stopper on Boswell – it was way too late.

Corey Ash got the lockdown role on the dangerous Joel Miller and beat him, while Lachy Marshall and Jacob Boyle were super impressive.

Guy and Beau Hendry, along with Ben Thomas, completely shut down the Dogs forwards in Jackson Calder, Dale Whelan and Peter McGettigan.

Calder only had a touch when he was

moved back. McGettigan kicked the only Dogs’ goal and Whelan was nowhere to be seen.

Warwick Miller was head and shoulders better than any other Mornington player while Kalen Bird tried hard also. The Dog’s backs were under enormous pressure and Ryan Smith and Troy Kirwan did pretty well under the circumstances.

Seaford moved into the top three with a solid second half performance against Bonbeach.

While yours truly predicted before a ball had been bounced this season that Seaford would be the bolter, it was always going to take a game like this one against Bonbeach to get a true indication.

At half time, the jury was still out –

the score was 2.11 to 2.4 with the Tigers winning more footy but not converting.

The Tigers though booted five unanswered goals in the third quarter and booted a further five in the last to Bonbeach’s one to win 12.14 (86) to 3.10 (28).

The Sharks were kept scoreless in the third quarter.

Damian Rayson arrived with big wraps this season and completely dominated on Saturday with three goals.

Rourke Fischer is back to his best and Dean Williamson is one of the best players in the competition. They were all dominant on Saturday.

Matt Douglas and Owen Hulett were the best of the Sharks, while Jackson Casey continues to put a case forward

for an interleague call-up.

Chelsea made it two wins on the trot with a hard fought 7.14.56 to 8.5.53 win against Karingal.

The Gulls set-up the win with a three goal to zip first quarter. Karingal made a run in the last, keeping Chelsea goalless but four points was enough to give the home side a victory.

Daly Shannon was arguably the best player on the ground while James Brain and Simon Mitchelhill were also outstanding in the win.

Jake Kelly and Aisea Valenti were the best of the Bulls while Damian Ashcroft booted three goals and was lively.

Frankston YCW remains undefeated at the top of the ladder after knocking over Edithvale, 16.15 (111) to 12.5 (77).

The Stonecats had a number of their VFL-listed players running around, including Lachy Wallace, who booted four goals and BJ Credlin, who dominated across half back. Macklin Raine also dominated for the Stonecats and there’s no question that he’s ready to take over the mantle of Ash Eames when the time comes.

Steve Mannix and Craig Wray were the best of the Eagles.

Mt Eliza got the four points against Langwarrin.

The game didn’t reach any great heights with the Mounties keeping Langwarrin goalless in the opening half. The margin was 33 points at the big break.

The Kangas responded a little more in the second half, booting four goals to Mt Eliza’s six but still went down 11.13 (79) to 4.11 (35).

‘The great divide’ widens across league NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE divide between the best and worst teams in MPNFL Nepean division is widening, with a number of big blowouts on Saturday.

Despite wet and windy conditions, the better sides in the competition still booted big scores and restricted the lesser sides to tough afternoons.

Sorrento booted 24 goals against Pearcedale, Frankston kicked 17 majors against Rye, Hastings kicked 18 goals against Crib Point and Red Hill nailed 20 goals against Tyabb. Five of the six matches were blow-outs with Devon Meadows and Somerville predictably the closest match of the round.

After just five rounds, we can draw a line through Tyabb, Crib Point, Rye and Pearcedale in 2017, while the Meadows and Somerville are just behind the top five. Sorrento, Hastings, Frankston, Red Hill and Rosebud, in no particular order, appear to be the teams most likely to play finals in 2017.

Red Hill’s clash against Hastings in Round six in two weeks, up at the hill, will determine whether the Hillmen are the real deal. On Saturday, Red Hill had 40 scoring shots to Tyabb’s eight and won 20.20 (140) to 6.2 (38).

The first half was reasonably tight, the Hillmen leading by just 26 points.

However, the visitors booted seven goals in the third quarter and a further six in the last. The Hillmen also rolledout a new player in the reserves, Shane Bloomfield, a former star forward of

It’s too easy: Pines smashed Mornington in the Peninsula League on Saturday. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

the Geelong FL, who dominated against the MPNFL when it last player the GFL in interleague footy a few years ago.

Bloomfield kicked 1.5 in the reserves in his first game in 12 months. He is expected to play one more in the twos before joining Ben Hughes deep in the Red Hill forward line.

Hastings and Crib Point is usually a hotly contested game regardless of the where the neighbouring clubs are on the ladder – Saturday was a fizzer. The game was tight at quarter time when the Blues led by two points, however, the visi-

tors booted 17 goals to six after the first change to win 18.17 (125) to 6.8 (44).

Jay Reynolds booted five goals and Scott Foster four majors in Frankston Bombers’ 17.19 (121) to 3.8 (26) win against Rye. The Bombers booted 9.12 to 1.3 in the first half and should have been much further in front.

Josh Francis with a couple of majors and Jarryd Amalfi dominated for the Bombers while skipper Mitch Bosward was also at his best. Adam Kirkwood and Harry Witty were the best of the Demons while Leigh Morse continues

to play well for them.

Sorrento had 42 scoring shots to Pearcedale’s 11 on Saturday at Tractor Park, again highlighting the great divide between the best and the worst. The most exciting thing to happen at Pearcedale, besides Sorrento dominating the scoreboard, was Melbourne players Max Gawn and Jack Trengove sitting in the back of a ute with a dog watching their old teammates Luke Tapscott and Chris Dawes run around for the Sharks.

Somerville had 23 scoring shots to Devon Meadows’ 21 on Saturday but

lost the game 6.17 (53) to 8.13 (61).

At half-time, the Eagles had booted 1.10 to the home side’s 3.7. Bad kicking is bad footy and despite the Eagles having chances to win the game, Devon Meadows won its third game on the trot.

Dromana’s woes continued, smashed

by Rosebud to the tune of 56 points.

The Tigers can thank Rosebud’s inaccuracy in front of goal that it was able to lose by less than 10 goals.

The Buds led 5.11 to 3.5 at half time and by the end of the match, it was 12.20 (92) to 5.6 (36).

Langy keeper’s master class keeps Saints at bay SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN remained on top of the State 1 South-East ladder after downing St Kilda 2-0 at Lawton Park on Saturday.

Gus Macleod’s side now faces a crunch fixture against second-placed outfit Caulfield United Cobras at Victory Park next weekend.

Langy’s new Scottish signing Liam Baxter took just three minutes to make a major impact last weekend when he skinned an opponent on the left and surged into the penalty area before watching his cutback deflected by Sam Sweeney for an own goal.

Big George Whiteoak was at the near post to head home Connor Belger’s corner in the 30th minute.

Langy captain Boris Ovcin was sent off after receiving a second caution in the 58th minute and despite St Kilda dominating possession the second half belonged to Langy keeper Robbie Acs. The experienced custodian put on a master class in reaction saves highlighted by parrying Sweeney’s penalty attempt in the 79th minute and smothering the rebound.

Star Langy defender Keiron Kenny should finally return from the UK this week and is expected to be rushed straight into Saturday’s matchday squad along with veteran striker Caleb Nicholes who played in the reserves last weekend following his Kokoda Trail trek.

Mornington’s stuttering championship defence continued when it lost 2-1 at home to South Springvale last Saturday.

Former Port Melbourne star Bonel Obradovic broke clear in the 18th minute and despite a superb double save from Mornington keeper Kris McEvoy the ball fell to Obradovic a third time and he made no mistake.

The visitors went 2-0 up in the 48th minute after Michael Kariuki ran onto a through ball on the right of the penalty area and struck a low shot that beat a diving McEvoy at the near post.

A superb Chris Reid free kick in the 80th minute got the home side back into the contest but it proved to be too little too late.

“We’ll set some targets for the next five weeks and we’ll remain positive,” said Mornington boss Adam Jamieson.

Mornington is in talks with two NPL players and is hoping to snare three newcomers in total when the transfer window opens later this month.

Peninsula Strikers defeated Frankston Pines 1-0 in their State 2 South-East derby on Saturday.

The pivotal moment came in the 68th minute.

Veteran forward Trevor Johnston should have put Strikers ahead a minute earlier but struck the far post and Pines were still trying to get organised at the back when Johnston was again in a scoring situation and he made no mistake this time smashing the ball past Pines keeper Alfonso Cardinale from close range.

Johnston’s elaborate celebration took him towards the stand in the outer where Strikers senior coach Craig Lewis and assistant Billy Buchanan were serving one-match touchline bans for being sent off the previous week against Seaford United.

Yet Pines had created the best two chances of the first half.

In the 6th minute, Strikers keeper Colin McCormack was forced to smother after Jack Wrobel had broken through on the right and in the 20th minute, Graham Hill should have at least got his free header on target following a corner to the back post.

The closest Strikers came was from Danny Brooks’ 12th-minute free kick that forced Cardinale to dive down low and tip the ball wide of the far post.

Luke Murray’s second caution in the 60th minute ended his involvement in the contest and Hill joined him in injury time with a second yellow card.

In between McCormack was forced to parry a sizzling long-range strike by Ben Millward and Leandro Parrella wasted a fine overlap from substitute Tom Hawkins on the right by blasting his shot over from 10 metres.

There may be news on the transfer front from Centenary Park later this week.

Harry McCartney reports that State 2 South-East outfit Seaford United went down fighting in their 3-0 home loss to Mazenod on Saturday.

In the 25th minute, a long ball from Matty Morris-Thomas over the Mazenod defence saw Mitch Lander run past the visiting back four to slot the opener, only to be disallowed by the linesmen flagging for offside much to the disbelief of the home crowd.

In the 35th minute, Lander broke down the right and his cross was met by Alex Roberts whose shot forced Mazenod keeper Nick Van Hattam into a sharp save down to his left.

In the 40th minute, a scrappy shot from Vince

Frankston Times 8 May 2017

Vasquez seemed easy pickings for Seaford keeper Patrick Bretherton before the wet ball skidded under his hands and slowly dribbled into the Seaford net for an embarrassing opener.

The pressure by Mazenod in the second half was telling and Adrian D’Ortenzio’s sided footed cross gave Colin Stewart an easy tap in from close range to make it 2-0.

But Seaford deserves credit for continuing to create chances until injury time when Nick D’Angelo was clipped inside the area and his brother Robert D’Angelo had no problem converting from the penalty spot.

Skye United blew a two-goal cushion and had to settle for a 2-2 draw at home to South Yarra on Saturday.

The result saw Skye slip to third on the State 3 South-East ladder with a game in hand.

In the 35th minute Skye’s Michael Putson took a quick free kick and sent Jason Nowakowski through and he rounded the keeper before slotting the ball home from a tight angle to open the scoring.

In the 70th minute, English import Jacob ScotteHatherly finished well from outside the area to make it 2-0.

But South Yarra’s Luke Atkinson was unmarked and pulled one back just five minutes later and the visitors were rewarded for their pressure when Vincent Hetherington finished well from inside the box following a long throw in the 89th minute.

Baxter’s 3-0 victory in Saturday’s State 4 South home clash with Endeavour Hills Fire was earned via a dominant first half display.

Dan Disseldorp’s through ball sent Liam Kilner clear in the 20th minute and he slotted the ball past Endeavour keeper Stuart Tolmie to make it 1-0.

A long-range strike by teenager Travis Ernsdoerfer thumped off the crossbar in the 29th minute and shortly after Jack Gallagher’s strike rebounded off Tolmie allowing Mark Pagliarulo to make it 2-0.

It was game, set and match in the 44th minute after Disseldorp scored from close range following a corner.

The best aspect of the second half from a Baxter perspective was Francis Beck’s clean sheet.

Rosebud Heart is a shadow of the side that won every league game last year and its 4-2 home loss to Keysborough in their State 4 South fixture last weekend was its fourth loss this season.

Dave Greening (22nd minute) and Cory Osorio (68th) scored for Heart while Keysborough’s goals came from Nemanja Salamandic (28th, 68th), Nicolas Jaque (63rd) and substitute Victor Pinto (penalty 90th).

Somerville Eagles eventually succumbed to Dandenong Warriors 4-0 away from home last weekend.

Eagles keeper Toby Lawson had to be replaced after 15 minutes due to a knee injury and striker Neil Herd took over in goal.

Despite Herd’s fine display the Warriors ran out comfortable victors due to goals from David Baraka (61st minute), Michael Bowen (75th), Tom Cikoratic (80th) and substitute Laku Laku (85th).

Somerville lost Paul Walker and David Hughes to Baxter last week but three new players, including an Irish striker, are due to train with the club this week.

Kevin McCormack and Jarryd Lymer are likely inclusions in this weekend’s matchday squad to face Sandown Lions.

Local women’s NPL consortium Southern United creates history when it takes its home game on Mother’s Day, Sunday 14 May, to Gippsland.

Gifted juniors outrun senior athletes

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON Peninsula junior athletes, Ky Davies and Dylan Burrows, received winning sashes after defeating experienced competitors at the 2017 Stawell Gift Athletics Carnival.

The secondary school students competed in the 550m and 1600m open events at Stawell on Sunday 16 April and weren’t daunted by the older and more experienced competitors, Ky’s father Paul Davies said.

“They have both won state titles and represented Victoria at the national level which has probably given them the confidence to run in these open events,” Mr Davies said.

Ky won the 1600m Victory Restricted Handicap final in four minutes and 10 seconds narrowly defeating Richard Wade, with just a one second gap between them.

While Burrows, a Peninsula School student, took out the 550m Grampians Estate WH Earle Handicap in just over a minute, receiving a chunk of the $2850 total prize money on offer.

“They’re constantly improving and making their personal bests better and better,” Mr Davies said.

The Mornington Little Athletics, who Burrows and Davies have both competed for, also had a group of runners at the Stawell Gift Carnival, with 13 juniors competing.

One junior, Taj Westworth, had a stand-out carnival making it into the finals of two events, finishing second in the Telstra Store Little Athletics 100m sprint and sixth in the 400m final.

Ky’s younger brother, Taj Davies, 13, also competed at the Stawell Carnival finishing sixth in the 800m final and seventh in the 1600m event.

Mount Martha golfer strikes purple patch

Facelift: Funding will upgrade facilities at Frankston Pines Football Club.

Change welcomed at girls’ soccer rooms MORE women and girls will soon be kicking goals as the Frankston Pines Football Club receives funding to upgrade their facilities.

Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke announced that the soccer club will be receiving funding to upgrade their pavilion at Monterey Reserve with female change rooms and a new kitchen.

The Pines will receive funding under the Victorian 2017-18 budget and are hoping to begin the upgrades next year.

By Ben Triandafillou FOR most people, golf’s main aim is to score the lowest possible card, but for stableford competitors, it’s the bigger, the better.

Shooting a near-50 stableford round is one of the many achievements in golf, which, one experienced Mount Martha golfer has accomplished after an exceptional round of golf last month.

Life member of the Mount Martha Golf Club, William (Bill) Lee, managed to score a stableford round of 52 points just weeks after turning 91.

Teeing off with a handicap of 30, Bill showed that age was no issue putting together an 84-stroke round off 18 holes at the Mount Martha Public Golf Course.

“It’s quite rare to score a 52 but it was just one of those days where I had a purple patch”, a modest Bill Lee said.

“I had three birdies and 84 off the stick, everything just worked.”

Bill has been a member of the Mount Martha Golf Club for more than 30 years and has been an active member with his wife Joyce in building, fund-

raising and social activities.

“I used to play at Waverley Private but joined the Mount Martha Golf Club many years ago as we used to visit friends down here,” Lee said.

Lee has continually contributed to the Mount Martha Golf Club, captaining their side for four years, being an assistant manager and a vice-captain as well as working on the committee for many years.

Still as interested as ever, Lee plays twice a week at the Mount Martha Golf Course and says that it’s the companionship at the club that draws him back each time.

“We’re proud to be building the first ever dedicated female change rooms at Monterey Reserve,” Mr Edbrooke said.

“Women deserve the same opportunities as men, and with record numbers of women and girls signing up to play local sport, we’re making sure our facilities are up to scratch.”

The new modern change rooms will also provide the Southern United Football Club female teams with another pitch to use for matches and training.

Southern United travel to Gippsland THE Southern United Football Club will, for the first time, take its home game on Mother’s Day to Gippsland.

The Southern United under-15 girls, under-18 girls and the Southern United Senior teams will travel to Morwell to compete in round 11 of the National Premier League Women’s to face the Football Federation Victoria (National Training Centre) teams on Sunday 14 May. The Falcons 2000 Soccer Club will host the

event at Latrobe City Sports Stadium and will also have their Senior Women’s team matching up against Churchill United to conclude the program.

The Southern United FC under-13 girls will also be playing an exhibition match against the Latrobe Valley Soccer League under-14 representative team at 10am to kick off the day.

A skills clinic will also be run by the Southern United Football Club staff.

RPP to call at the ‘G’ INTERLEAGUE

By Toe Punt RADIO station RPP will be the host broadcaster of Saturday’s WorkSafe AFL Victoria Community Championships match at the MCG on 13 May. The second-ranked Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League Sharks will tackle the number one team in state footy, Geelong Football League (GFL), starting at 3pm and for those not heading to the ‘G’ will be able to tune-in to 98.7 or 98.3FM to hear all the action.

The RPP team, anchored by Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly, will be joined by Geelong Football League experts, giving listeners a balanced view of the match.

MPNFL Sharks coach John Hynes expected to announce the final squad on Monday or Tuesday this week for Saturday’s match.

“The boys have been together for months now and we wanted to ensure that we respected their commitment and journey to get here right to the final week,” Hynes said.

“We have added some players along the journey and as I’ve said all along, we will pick the best in-form team possible.

Whilst we recognise those who have been great servants of the MPNFL and interleague footy, it’s important that we pick the best possible side that is in form right now.”

Hynes said there were a handful of players who didn’t play club footy at the weekend to ensure they were right for Saturday’s match at the MCG. GFL Interleague coach Jeremy Dyer revealed just over a week ago that a couple of big names had run out of time to put their hands up for selection for

the Interleague squad.

Dyer, who led the GFL to the number one ranking in last year’s championships, said the early scheduling of the game had given the coaching staff little choice but to leave players out.

Surprisingly though, the GFL only started its campaign in mid-April. When the GFL smashed the MPNFL a few years ago, it was because of their preparation that created the divide.

What that did was spark action from John Hynes to announce the squad at the beginning of the year and start training immediately. The MPNFL has been training together for four months.

Dyer said stars including St Joseph’s and ex-Geelong VFL playmaker Kieren Paliouras, and recently retired Brisbane Lion and Geelong Cat Trent West, were not selected as their form in the opening two rounds didn’t warrant selection.

Another shock was the non-selection of Daniel Lovick, the St Joseph’s defender widely regarded as one of the finest ever to play in the GFL. Lovick has only missed two Interleague clashes since 2009. GFL has selected a squad featuring many youngsters, most of whom are making their first appearances in a senior Interleague squad. Seven players are 20 years old or younger- a deliberate tactic according to Dyer.

“I believe Interleague is a platform to bigger things for the boys if they want it, whether they’ve got aspirations to go higher or not to further their footy path.”

Dyer said the crop of youngsters, including former Falcons captain Jack Blood, St Joseph’s livewire Jacko McLaughlin and the VFL development squad listed Jonathon Arcoraci, aren’t just in there to make up the numbers.
