Sky rail noise report annoys Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au ELEVATED rail “will reduce noise” from passing trains for anyone living near a train line according to the state government but anti-sky rail campaigners opposed to elevated rail along the Frankston line say noise control is not the only factor that will affect neighbouring residents’ quality of life. Labor Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan last week released a Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA) preliminary noise report for the Cranbourne to Pakenham level crossing removals. “This report confirms the elevated line will reduce train noise for local residents day and night,” Ms Allan said in a statement. The report was compiled by noise and vibration experts WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff, a company in a corporate alliance of businesses awarded contracts to remove the nine level crossings between Caulfield and Dandenong. Lend Lease, CPB Contractors, Aurecon and Metro Trains are the other companies in the alliance tasked with separating rail from road along the Dandenong line. Simon Johnson, founder of noskyrail.com. au, says he fears the WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff noise report is an indication of “what is coming down the line” for sections of the Frankston line. “They seem to be the experts in noise control but my understanding is that document was done at least in part by the consortium that won the bid,” Mr Johnson said. He said the report did not look at potential pollution problems caused by diesel fumes from trains running “two or three storeys in the air”. Mr Johnson says the government should “come clean” with a full Environment Effects Statement about any environmental impacts of elevated rail. The Planning Minister would have oversight of elevated rail projects and the com-

munity could voice its concerns if a full EES was required. Ms Allan has said every level crossing along the Frankston line to be removed will be assessed on an individual basis to determine ways to separate road from rail at intersections. “The approach that’s been taken on this corridor [Dandenong] is not necessarily the outcome that will be taken on the Frankston corridor and I think it’s wrong to assume that it would be,” she said last weekend. The LXRA, a Department of Transport body, is overseeing community consultation on level crossing removals before options are released next month. A final decision on how level crossings will be removed will be made at the end of this year with construction due to begin in 2018. Acting Auditor-General Peter Frost said last week there is a worrying lack of transparency around major projects such as the planned removal of 50 level crossings across Victoria at an estimated cost of $5-6 billion. Mr Frost noted in the Managing and Reporting on the Performance and Cost of Capital Projects Report tabled in Parliament last week that level crossings are being removed before an overall business case, due to be completed “in mid-2016”, has been completed. “Unexpected cost blowouts can significantly impact the state’s finances and affect the government’s ability to deliver its wider policy agenda,” Mr Frost said. “Unforeseen delays also mean the community has to wait longer for promised benefits, and unreliable benefit estimates risk distorting government’s decision making.” Ms Allan says the government is “getting it done after years of excuses”. “These level crossings are some of our worst. They clog roads, stop us running more trains and put lives at risk every single day,” she said.

Globe trotters hope to take a trip VISITING other countries and seeing how life is lived elsewhere can broaden minds, young minds even more so. Teachers at Mahogany Rise Primary School in Frankston North have seen this first hand thanks to a previous overseas learning trip for pupils to Scotland three years. The innovative approach to school funding, asking for donations online, caught the attention of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and actor Russell Crowe last time around. The politician and the gladiator helped spread the word about the project by sharing the fundraising campaign on social media. Staff at Mahogany Rise hope to repeat the fundraising feat and have invited neighbouring Aldercourt Primary School on board for another trip to foreign fields. Six intrepid young travellers from each school to represent the Frankston North community as part of a trip that will see each student experiencing a two-week taste of school and family life in London and Paris. “The project truly is a life changing opportu-

nity,” Mahogany Rise Primary School principal John Culley said. “We know from our experience in leading two past expeditions and from the research literature, that providing children in disadvantaged communities such as the Pines, with opportunities like this significantly raises both academic outcomes and life aspirations for the children and families involved.” Mahogany Rise and Aldercourt Primary Schools’ creative approach to providing the best possible learning experiences money can buy can be supported by visiting the project website at togetherwerise.com.au or by calling Mahogany Rise on 9786 3211.

‘Blitz’ causes line closure FRANKSTON line commuters face more short-term pain for long-term gain with the rail line set to be closed between Caulfield and Moorabbin stations for more than a month from the end of June. Buses will replace trains between the stations for 37 days from 24 June until 31 July so level crossing removals at Ormond, McKinnon and Bentleigh stations can be completed. The works to separate road from rail, described as a “massive winter construction blitz” by the Labor state government, will be finished by August.

Acting Premier James Merlino said the three level crossings will be removed by August, six months ahead of schedule. “We’re not wasting a single day removing these three dangerous and congested level crossings that have plagued communities for more than a century. Soon these relics of the past will be gone,” Mr Merlino said. Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said the level crossings will be gone by the time train services between Caulfield and Moorabbin resume and three new train stations will also be completed.

public is up to them. Often councils will table it at a council meeting but they may not make it public,” Ms O’Brien said last month. Frankston Council has refused to say if the reports and decisions on Cr Hampton and Cr Taylor will be made public. There is no indication as yet of when rulings will be given to council. Cr Hampton and Cr Taylor say they are unable to comment on the panel hearings due to Local Government Act restrictions. The Frankston councillor conduct panel hearing will be one of the final investigations headed by the MAV. The state government has handed responsibility for future investigations into councillors’ behaviour to Local Government Victoria for any complaints received after March this year.

“Removing these crossings will reduce traffic congestion, improve public transport and make these communities safer. There will be disruption while these works occur, but it will be worth it.” Trains on the Stony Point line will also be unable to access Southern Cross station for maintenance while the line is partially closed so buses will also replace trains on the Stony point line from 25 June to 31 July. Weekend closures will also take place on 14-15 May and 4-5 June between Caulfield and Mordialloc.

A SECOND Frankston councillor is being investigated by a local government watchdog as the result of an alleged stoush at a public event at Frankston’s The Deck bar late last year. Cr Colin Hampton awaits a Municipal Association of Victoria decision about misconduct complaints after a panel heard evidence on Friday 8 April about alleged derogatory remarks he made about fellow councillor Darrel Taylor (‘Silence surrounds conduct hearing’, The Times 25/4/15). Cr Taylor appeared as a witness at the MAV panel hearing but The Times can now reveal he is also under investigation after Cr Hampton complained about his behaviour on the night. The Times understands Cr Hampton, the deputy mayor, was upset Cr Taylor gave a speech after mayor Cr James Dooley at the marketing campaign launch to sell apartments at the planned $80 million Allure Bayside building in Davey St. Frankston Council has refused to answer any questions about the councillor conduct panel hearing held last month despite ratepayers potentially facing a bill costing tens of thousands of dollars for the hearing. MAV spokeswoman Stephanie O’Brien said the association’s decisions on councillor conduct hearings are released to councils which then choose whether to make a panel’s report and decisions public. “Whether or not they make that

An independent voice for the community

Labor gets its pitch on line in first THE political pre-election promises for Frankston have kicked off ahead of the 2 July federal election with Labor pledging to contribute $1.5 million in funding for a business case for the full duplication and electrification of the rail line from Frankston to Baxter. The long-mooted project, put on the backburner by successive governments at a federal and state level for decades, has been resurrected as a goer by the Labor state government as part of the $63 million redevelopment of Frankston train station and its surrounds. Former deputy prime minister Anthony Albanese, federal Labor Transport and Infrastructure spokesman, visited Frankston last Thursday (5 May) to announce Labor will pitch in

the $1.5 million if elected. “This vital project will be a gamechanger for the whole region, and will entrench Frankston’s position as a new centre for jobs and growth,” Mr Albanese said. “The project will enhance access to services, jobs and opportunities for the residents of Frankston South, Langwarrin and Baxter, and support wider regional growth. “It will build on the Frankston Station upgrade to unlock development potential and support the growth of key local institutions such as Monash University peninsula campus.” Frankston Council has been pushing for several years for government funding for a business case to electrify the Stony Point line to Baxter from Frankston.

A request for $1.5 million in funding for a business case was one of the priorities council identified for Frankston as part of its Speak Up For Frankston advocacy campaign before the 2014 state election. Commuters from the peninsula to Melbourne could park cars and board trains at Baxter instead of driving to Frankston train station easing passenger congestion and pressure on car parking spaces around Frankston train station. A full business case would mean the Baxter electrification project, a strategic goal of Public Transport Victoria, could be referred to Infrastructure Victoria for approval as a major project. The costly project would take about 10-15 years to complete.

Community focus on ice fight Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au THE ‘What’s the Real Story with Ice’ forum presented by Peninsula Voice attracted 330 people to the Peninsula City Church in Frankston on Wednesday 27 April. Local churches, Frankston Council, health professionals, civic leaders, police, community support groups, Rotary and members of the community displayed solidarity to show how the Frankston community can work together to reduce the harmful effects of this new drug on our streets. Unflattering statistics provided by Victoria Police Crime Command Inspector Rod Wilson listed Frankston among the worst substance abuse and crime areas in Australia. They showed a direct correlation between the rise in substance abuse and the rise in petty crime, suggesting crime is increasing to feed the substance abuse addiction. The expert panel made it clear that while ice is a new drug, substance abuse is an old problem. “The mood of the meeting was that this whole-ofcommunity problem requires a wholeof-community response to move the continuum in the right direction away from harm,� Peninsula Voice chairperson Peter Orton said. “If we didn’t act on the root causes of substance abuse, then growth in both substance abuse and crime would continue to rise. Support services and the police are finding it difficult to deal with this demand on services and current efforts are akin to sticking a band-aid on a

gaping wound.� A passionate Dunkley MP Bruce Billson spoke of the findings of the National Ice Taskforce report by former Chief Commissioner Ken Lay, while Curtin University professor Stephen Bright spoke of building a better Rat Park. Rat Park was ground breaking research into drug addiction in the 1970s by Canadian psychologist Bruce Alexander. He found that, through building stronger relationships and more engaged communities, there will be less selfmedication through miss-use of alcohol, as well as legal and illegal substances. Australian Drug Foundation head Julie Rae spoke about the River. This is a metaphor of the stream of people who fall into substance abuse and are unable to get out. The story is predicated on looking upstream at why some people

succumb to substance abuse, while others do not. Family Drug Support manager Michael Miller detailed how family support was the most effective mechanism for helping a substance abuse victim. He outlined targeted drug education sessions beginning today (Monday) 9 May in Frankston. Local mother Kerrie Knight gave a sobering account of her daughter, India’s, five-year struggle with an ice addiction. Having overdosed five times, her personal story was a powerful message that substance abuse does not discriminate, nor is it based on education, socio economic position or status. The account reverberated around the room: if it can happen to me it can happen to you. Ms Knight and another mother from

an ice-affected family were interviewed at the forum by the ABC’s flagship current affairs program, AM. The story aired the next morning on the ABC’s National program. “The overwhelming message was that substance abuse is a community health issue and requires a whole-of-community response and that harm minimisation for the victim and family was paramount for recovery,� Mr Orton said. During the question-and-answer segment there was common support for the direction Portugal had taken to reduce personal substance use by decriminalising it. Money saved through this approach has been funnelled into a state of the art health service and treatment for users, and has also allowed police to focus on fighting organised crime and drug car-

tels, which target victims of substance abuse. “Kerrie and India’s story is very powerful but, unfortunately, not unique,â€? Mr Orton said. “Kerrie didn’t choose to have an iceaddicted daughter. She has endured a tough challenge and, as a parent myself, I can’t image how difficult the past five years has been for her and her family. “What is particularly inspiring, though, is how Kerrie has responded. She has decided to do something about this. It is not dissimilar to the story of Rosie Batty taking up the fight for change on family violence. “Substance abuse and addiction is an illness that requires long-term treatment for people to recover – it is not a moral failing. “Simply advising young people not to take drugs is not the answer. Community is the key element to help deliver education and early intervention and harm minimisation.â€? Other points raised were: ď Žď€ We have a huge gap in the community for a local family support network. ď Žď€ The trauma of drug addiction has a ripple effect on to family members, which impact family members’ mental health. ď Žď€ Because of the stigma attached to addiction, we don’t feel comfortable talking about it. ď Žď€ Ice-affected families fear judgment, which limits opportunities for open conversation. ď Žď€ We need more open conversation, not less.

Forum fights the scourge of bullying Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Car, trailer stolen LEAVING a spare key in the glove box may have helped a thief steal a utility from in front of a house in Nepean Hwy, Mornington, overnight Sunday 1 May. The Great Wall ute and a box trailer were gone when the owner went outside in the morning. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Fight after chat A MAN talking to a woman in Merchant Lane, Mornington, 1.30am, Sunday 1 May, was assaulted by a group of men who said she already had a boyfriend. In the struggle the victim was bitten on the forehead. Security staff intervened and the men fled. The victim, who told police he knows one of his assailants, was taken to Frankston hospital for treatment. Detective Senior Sergeant Miro Majstorovic, of Somerville police complex, said police were trawling through CCTV footage of the incident.

BULLYING takes many forms in the modern world. Gone are the times when physical confrontations were the main form of attacks on the bullied. The internet now means schoolchildren can face cyber-bullying online after school hours and on weekends so there can be no escape from harassers even in the supposed safety of home. About 500 students from John Paul College, McClelland College, Elisabeth Murdoch College, Naranga Special School and Nepean Special School attended a Frankston Youth Council ‘Frankston Stand For Change – Zero Tolerance to Bullying’ event at Elisabeth Murdoch College in Langwarrin last month. Representatives from Anglicare, Headspace, Peninsula Pride and Live Out Loud attended to give advice on how differences between people should be celebrated and not denigrated. Anti-bullying organisations Bully Zero Foundation and Project Rocket hosted a workshop and discussions for students during the day. Bully Zero CEO and founder Oscar Yildiz says “comments online are damaging kids”. “The internet is a public place. We talk about grooming, sexting, child posting and paedophilia, flaming, outing, trolling, harassment and blackmail,” Mr Yildiz said. “Kids are addicted to their devices and they think the things they are posting and sending aren’t going to be

made public but everything online is public.” Mr Yildiz said comments about fellow students made in closed groups online can be copied by taking screenshots and widely distributed. “If you wouldn’t say it face to face, don’t say it online.” If someone is bullied it is best to tell parents or teachers and block bullies

online, Mr Yildiz said. “Don’t engage with them. Often cyberbullies will go away if you ignore them.” He said kids have to be aware of the impact of their behaviour on others and parents should know their children’s passwords to check on what is being said online. “There is nothing wrong with being

engaged in the world of social media … but parents do have to be responsible.” Students individually signed an antibullying pledge at the day’s end.

Battery powers up from solar panels Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au Two small garage-sized tin sheds in Langwarrin South may hold the key to cutting the cost of domestic power needs while providing a reliable source for off-the-grid sites. A relatively small bank of lithium batteries developed in the sheds can be used to store enough power from solar panels to run a household for up to three days. In trials already under way they are powering electric fences, golf buggies, caravans, small waste treatment works and now houses. These long lasting batteries can effectively store power from solar panels to be used at night or in cloudy conditions rather than diverting the daytime excess back into the grid. The makers of the Tardis Battery say the cost of buying this excess back from a power company is inevitably more expensive than the credits received for its supply. The relatively small cabinets required for the batteries to be fitted for domestic use seem a far cry from the project initially embarked on by its developers: an electric bicycle. Neighborhood colleagues Andrew Lamb and David Treanor shared rides to work at General Motors in Port Melbourne. The two engineers knew car manufacturing in Australia was all but doomed and came up with the idea for an efficient electric-powered bicycle while talking about “life after GM”. Lamb shared their ideas with Max Coulthard during a chance meeting

Powered up: The team behind the manufacture and marketing of a battery designed to store electricity on which houses can be run overnight or when solar power is unavailable, from left, Max Coulthard, David Treanor, Margaret Harrison and Andrew Lamb. Above, six of the lithium battery packs can power a house for about three days.

a Frankston Chamber of commerce networking night. Coulthard, a former senior lecturer in business strategy at Monash University, quickly realised that efficient batteries could have many more uses than just for bicycles. “What’s unique about our batteries is that they’re small on the outside but big on the inside,” he says. Coulthard, Lamb and Treanor formed MagEfekt in 2012 with the specific aim of “designing, building and manufacturing battery packs to meet specific customer requirements”. Their long-term goal is to produce energy dense batteries for mobile and stationary applications and make electric wheel motors using solar car technology.

Lamb had a history of being involved in the technical side of solar powered cars. Lamb’s involvement with the Aurora Solar Car Team saw him come up with nine “unregistered patents”, according to Coulthard. “He just wanted to give them to the world and helping develop a future automotive industry”. Coulthard said the partners decided car manufacturing was beyond their means so decided “we’d first take a look at batteries and controllers”. “We originally thought about a complete automotive system, wheels, batteries, controller and motor,” Treanor says. But once that idea was shelved, one of the first projects came through speaking with a wheelchair manufac-

turer in Noble Park about the safest technology for an electric vehicle. “We came up with an idea that saw us replacing two batteries with one, which meant half the weight and double the capacity. It provided consistent power,” Treanor says. Wheelchairs driven by MagEfekt’s batteries are undergoing tests and trials. The partners say their lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery is “the most energy dense” of its type in the world … as far as we can determine”. Relatively small cylindrical steelcased lithium cells form the heart of the battery developed under the Tardis Battery brand. These small Chinesemanufactured battery cells are linked together within a moulded urethane

casing. They are connected with wiring, eliminating the need for terminals and can operate under extreme conditions (45 degrees to minus 80) and are waterproof. Coulthard says MagEfekt’s biggest intellectual property is how the small, individual cells are integrated in the urethane casing. “The result is a cool, light, long-lasting and safe to use battery.” Coupled with solar panels they can operate free of the grid, either at remote locations or in combination with the grid for domestic and industrial purposes. “Solar systems on houses are virtually donating power to the grid,” Coulthard says. “It’s a dilemma for people coming off contracts [with power suppliers]. Do they connect to a smart system or go hybrid and retrofit an existing system?” Treanor says MagEfekt’s system requires no changes to existing solar panel infrastructure: “It’s almost like installing a new appliance.” He said power could still be sold back into the grid once the batteries are fully charged. “This battery storage system can be added to houses to provide uninterrupted power and the daily usage can be tracked by computer.” While the lithium batteries are more than double the cost of conventional lead acid batteries their service life (10-15 years) is much longer and the partners believe the MagEfekt system will pay for itself in about seven years.

LETTERS Good Times roll

Lure of The Pillars

Hello to all who put our local newspaper together. Just want to let you know just how much we appreciate the Frankston Times. It has a good coverage of local news and classifieds and we really enjoy the Puzzle Zone and the news from 100 years ago. Keep up the good work, Bev and Ian Jack, Frankston

The Pillars Resident’s Action Group is to be commended for its efforts to provide a management plan for The Pillars.(‘Group aims to soften effect of The Pillars’ The Times 25/4/16). In my opinion there is, unfortunately, absolutely no way Mornington Peninsula Shire will consider the plan. Why not? Because the area is officially culturally sensitive? No. Because the cost would be prohibitive? No. Why then? Because to do so would give tacit support to a highly dangerous activity: diving off a cliff into shallow water. Council can’t or won’t do that, and nor should it. End of story. Its hands are tied, basically. Clearly, however, it does need to install bins nearby and clear away roadside foliage for pedestrians. Where will everyone park? Where they can, same as now, I’m afraid. Additionally, we can expect more, not less, visitors to the area in coming years. Like all residents I am devastated to see our local hidden treasure lose its innocence in this way. I truly hope council can figure out a way to get on board. To merely put up “high pedestrian traffic” signs is a rather pathetic initial response. As an aside, having The Pillars removed from the AWOL website will have made little difference – the cat is already out of the bag on all social media. The YouTube videos make the area look irresistible. Phil Evans, Mt Martha

Sack council Thank you Neil Walker and especially Kris Bolam for lifting the secrecy on the totally wasteful and grossly offensive incompetence of our Frankston City Council and it inability to manage our hard earned rates dollars with their incomprehensible salaries and obnoxious consultancy fees (‘Cash out as consultants cash in’, The Times 26/4/16). Greater Geelong Council was sacked for not having proper governance, so obviously it’s also time overdue for Frankston City Council. Mark Bayer, Frankston

Road rules Just a few words about walking on roads. I stopped at the post box at a main road in Mt Eliza. A lovely lady was walking toward me and as I left the car I congratulated her for walking toward the traffic, because it is unusual in my town. She responded: “My husband told me to always walk toward the traffic and I responded curtly, you’re telling me where to walk? Yes he said, because I love you and want you to be safe.” As I drove away I reflected on a beautiful thought. Ron O’Toole, Mt Eliza

Invisible road toll For far too long the consequence of poor infrastructure causing people to fall in the street has been ignored. With funding from VicHealth, Victoria Walks commissioned Monash University Accident Research Centre to conduct a detailed study of falls

Woman cut free after Skye Rd collision

A WOMAN and her child were taken to The Alfred hospital, Friday morning, after their car collided with a truck on the Skye Rd overpass at Peninsula Link. The truck flipped over in the smash and the car was extensively damaged. Frankton SES incident controller Phil Holt said crews cut the roof off the car to free the woman, aged 25-30. Police are investigating the crash. Picture: Gary Sissons while walking and the results are very worrying. This ground breaking research found trips and falls in the street send more than 5000 pedestrians to hospital in Victoria each year – even more than collisions with cars. While people of all ages might fall in the street, the consequences of falling can be devastating for older people in particular. Older people are more fragile so more likely to be seriously injured and they take longer to recover after being tripped on a footpath or kerb. Falling and breaking a hip can be life changing and lead to premature death. International research shows that up to 40 percent of hip frac-

ture patients die within a year of their injury. The Victorian and federal governments need to start investing in making walking safer and supporting councils to improve footpath surfaces and road crossings. There are great economic costs associated with falls and ill health and they cannot simply expect local councils to foot the bill. We urge everyone to take notice of tripping hazards and poor footpaths, particularly where seniors walk, and report issues to their local council. Dr Ben Rossiter, executive officer, Victoria Walks

Family ties inform author’s Rebellion “It may be called the finest thing in Australasian history. It was a revolution – small in size but great politically; it was a strike for liberty, a struggle for principle, a stand against injustice and oppression. ‌ It is another instance of a victory won by a lost battleâ€? Mark Twain, Following the Equator (1897) WHEN Fran Henke wanted someone to launch her latest historical novel she had to look no further than at the words she had written. Kerry McNarn, district nurse, wedding celebrant whose name and personality form the basis for a “characterâ€? used in two of Henke’s books readily agreed to step from the pages of Winds of Rebellion for its public release. In a self-reflective moment Henke questions the professionalism of using the names and personalities of friends in a work of fiction and then supplies the answer: “Maybe, but enormous fun yes.â€? An artist, journalist, author and accomplished photographer, Henke is well known for her long running Council Watcher column with the former Independent News Group. Her latest book Winds of Rebellion - the second of the A Fair Wind trilogy - is about how far Australians can be pushed before they say enough. The first book of the trilogy, Other Side of the Wind, was published for Henke’s 70th birthday in 2013. This second book is based on events and players at the time of the Eureka rebellion on the Ballarat goldfields. “It carries some of the characters from the first book into the tense months of 1854, when ordinary people became caught up in extraordinary events,â€? Henke says. At that time, she says, miners on the Ballarat and Bendigo goldfields were willing to pay for a licence – “also known as a taxâ€? - but wanted a say in how the goldfields were run. They held meetings and organised deputations to authorities. “The government, paranoid about the number of so called foreigners on the goldfields, had a fortified camp for soldiers and troopers. So miners built a ramshackle stockade of shaft timbers,â€? Henke says. “Men were asleep there on Sunday 3 December 1854 when 276 soldiers and police arrived, shooting and slashing, burning nearby tents with families inside. “An estimated 60 people died either that morning or later – of those, six were troopers. So it wasn’t a rebellion, more like a massacre.â€? Henke’s tale is from the point of view of people in Geelong, “the rest,

recreation and restocking point for the Ballarat goldfields�. She feels drawn to Ballarat as it was the birthplace of her mother and her maternal grandfather was a miner, who allegedly lost his leg saving a cage full of miners at Kalgoolie. “I met him once, with his wooden leg, suggesting to him that he had a leg like mine, which is in a caliper,� Henke, a polio survivour, says. “While the first book The Other Side of the Wind was set in Geelong because of the intriguing story told me by a friend about her ancestors landing there – we had family members there too in the wool business. “When writing both books, I was conscious that my mum, who became dependent on talking books in later years, was hearing material not to her conservative taste. So I wanted my fiction to be challenging and interesting, yet not to offend.� But starting Rebellion and finishing it had its own challenges. After eight chapters “serious family matters� saw the book set aside and Henke being “actually afraid to start writing again�, uncertain of being able to again become immersed in the past. Rejuvenation came after finishing and publishing In Yer Face The Bald Archy Prize, a collaboration with Peter Batey in July last year. “I knew I wanted to keep writing. Period details and history returned; subsequent chapters went down really easily – except for the events of 3 December. Writing about senseless death of people and animals doesn’t come easy.� Henke’s editor Mike Hast [also a journalist and now a sometime contributor the The Times] suggested Henke illustrate the text with linocuts, something they had already tried with the cover of the first book. “I majored in printmaking at Chisholm six years ago. And I enjoyed making small images of native flowers while he edited – asking endless questions, checking my research as only Mike can. “Again we had the argument about the actual date of Victoria’s separation, the date it was proclaimed by the Queen, 1850, or the date it was enacted, 1851.� Henke, secretary of the Australian Taxation Reform Group, is involved

Rebel with a cause: Journalist and author Fran Henke has written Winds of Rebellion, the second book in a trilogy about Australians pushing back against authority.

in making submissions to the Henry Review and a White Paper. “I didn’t really want to pitch this book as being about an unfair tax, yet of course it is. Who would want to read a novel about tax?� she says. “But it’s more than that of course. It’s about how this generation came to enjoy the right to vote, to have a say, to protest. This story is particularly special – dedicated to my husband Ian who has paid dearly for his right to protest, to help people who

felt helpless against the system. I put the dedication at the end because I didn’t want readers to think I had an axe to grind.� Henke has dedicated Rebellion to her husband Ian Henke for his “courage, perseverance and dignity in the face of government tyranny�. Ian Henke was jailed in 2011for taking a stance against the current tax regime. Once the book was underway Henke realised her original plan for

a trilogy was still possible and has applied for a State Library fellowship to research the third, “taking the story up to Federation, another family passion�. “The extraordinary stories of the Eureka rebellion and Federation deserve to be better known,� she says. “After 50 years of journalism I reckon I can make what might seem heavy yarns interesting. That was my job: to take complex issues of government, parliament, council, science, the arts, make them even entertaining.� In recent months, after 25 years of advocating to state and federal government about the needs of Australia’s estimated 400,000 polio survivors (the country’s largest physical disability group) she resigned from the Polio Reference Group and the Board of Polio Australia. Her aim was to concentrate on writing and printmaking (“having just been given a splendid etching press�) but the death of then Mornington Peninsula Post-Polio Support Group chairman Dennis Lloyd has seen her take on some of his work. A further block to Henke’s writing and printmaking comes each year with organising the Mornington Peninsula’s Winter Blanket Appeal, coordinating knitters to make blankets and clothing for needy families through Southern Peninsula Food for All. This year the appeal is seeking beanies, scarves, mittens and children’s jumpers to about age 10. “Like many so-called retired people I am busy, but finally and in between, concentrating on the dream of making books and pictures,� Henke says. “Polio took away some potential in life, but gave me much more – especially a love of words, music and images. It also showed me the need for each of us to do whatever we can to help each other and to speak up about injustice – whatever the cost.� The public launch of Winds of Rebellion is 2pm Sunday 15 May at Oak Hill Gallery, MorningtonTyabb Rd, Mornington.

Camp’s chapel has a new lease on life VICTORIA’S longest-running camp, YMCA Camp Manyung, is celebrating the restoration of its historic outside chapel, the Crosby Memorial Chapel, after receiving $74,000 from Victorian Heritage Restoration. The body is dedicated to the preservation of heritage values. After six months of research and construction, the 77-year-old chapel has been brought back to life with original pews, landscaping, and paintwork using the original colours and former pathways. The chapel was designed by architects Walter Burley Griffin and Eric Milton Nicholls, with Griffin best known for designing the townships of Mt Eliza and Canberra. The chapel was dedicated to Charles Fenwick Crosby, one of Melbourne’s most generous, active and best-known social and philanthropic workers – as well as being president of the YMCA for 27 years. It was used widely 1940s-60s for services and community events before falling into disrepair. YMCA Camp Manyung community development officer Steve Merson says the restoration has been a gratifying project and history lesson for all involved: “We thought this would be a good year to undertake this project as it coincides with Camp Manyung’s 90th year, so it’s quite a reflective and exciting year for the camp,” he said. “It’s important not only to preserve Camp Manyung as a heritage-listed camp, but also to recognise the significance the chapel has for the community; how it has brought people together and how it can continue to do that in the future.”

Skate comp rolls into Mt Eliza

Sunday service: Hymns are sung by families at the Crosby Memorial Chapel, Camp Manyung, Mt Eliza, in the 1950s.

He said preservation was a wonderful way to reconnect with older people who spent time there during the 1950s and 1960s. “The chapel is a beautiful place for the local community looking to hold events, whether they for pres-

entations, services or even a wedding. “It’s definitely a special space, as much for quiet reflection as it is for celebration, to enjoy the outdoors and provide a place to connect as a community.”

A ceremony to commemorate the origins of the chapel will be held 1011.30am, Thursday 12 May. Members of the public are welcome to attend and to visit the new chapel. Call Camp Manyung, 97881100.

WHAT’S NEW...

Increasing literacy in our community IMAGINE a life where you cannot read the road signs or a map, where you have to buy takeaway because you don’t know how to read a recipe, and where you even have trouble scanning your bills or reading medicine directions. That is the experience of 30 per cent of the population who survive as functionally illiterate. Peninsula Adult Education and Literacy (PAEL) and Advance Community College are here to help, teaching and mentoring adult students in literacy and numeracy, and are now reaching out for volunteers. Manager of PAEL, Lyn Treloar explains that free training and resources will be provided and encourages people to come along to the information session. “PAEL and Advance Community College have received a grant from the Victorian government and now have some extra funds to provide training for new volunteers. As a tutor, you will be helping members of the local community with their reading and writing skills, as well as their numeracy. A lot of our students are simply people who have fallen through the cracks, either with education, social

or financial situation. Others are migrants who need help with their English skills,” said Ms Treloar. “All that is required of our 1-1 volunteers is a willingness to help and at least one hour per week to spare.” PAEL aren’t worried about the volunteers’ level of education, as long as they have literacy skills, and the information session will be held in Hastings. “There is no experience necessary, and after five weeks of training just a couple of hours a week, volunteers will be able to help improve another person’s way of life by tutoring reading and writing. It is incredible what a sense of satisfaction it brings to help someone read or write,” said Ms Treloar. PAEL helps adults develop their reading and writing, English language and numeracy skills, thus improving their way of life and opening up a world of opportunities for them. To find out more about getting involved, the short information session is being held at The Hastings Community Hub, 1973 Frankston Flinders Road, Hastings, on Wednesday May 25 at 10.30am. For further details phone 5986 8177 or 5979 1398.

We are seeking people willing to volunteer their time to help youth and adults develop their reading writing, English language or numeracy skills.

North Riding would only have £600 to spend during the year, and the East Riding £300, while the Centre Riding had £300 of next year’s revenue spent, as well as all of this year’s. *** THE Rev A P. M’Farlane, vicar of St Andrews, Middle Park, was nominated by the board of nomination held at St Paul’s Cathedral, Melbourne, on Wednesday, to the care of St Paul’s Anglican Church, Frankston, vacant by the resignation of Rev G. A. Kitchen. Mr M’Farlane was formerly vicar of St Paul’s, Frankston, for a period of 21 years. *** THERE was a good attendance at the conversazione held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday evening to bid farewell to the Rev G. A. and Mrs Kitchen, after a residence of five years here. The revered gentleman has been Vicar of St. Paul’s during that period, and is leaving to take up a position in Hay (N.B.W.)., under appointment from the Bishop of Riverinm. The stage was most tastefully decorated with choice plants, and flowers by Mr Bailey, of the Frankston nursery, whose taste in that direction is well known, the hall space being taken up with occasional tables on each of which was a small vase of flowers, the combined effect of which was very attractive. Mr Kitchen will be much missed socially, as during his stay here he has been very active in

his endeavors to provide amusement and healthful recreation for the young people, as well as taking an active share in the local Progress Association, Mechanics Institute, and other similar institutions. He organised St. Paul’s Club, which by its entertainments, helped to wile away the tedium of the long winter evenings,and also the Frankston Billiard Club, which was well patronised previous to the outbreak of the war, and will doubtless prove an equity on to Frankston on the return of its younger men from the front. Another thing that Mr Kitchen has been very successful in is the formation of the Boy Scouts movement, and be has now a body of some 25 boys, to whom he has devoted a deal of time in drilling and training them in the varied exercises particular to the movement. As honorary secretary to the Red Cross Society in Frankston, Mrs Kitchen has devoted a deal of her time, and by her departure the society will lose a member whose place it will honor and be hard to fill. Dr. Maxwell, in bidding good-bye, said the occasion was a sad one, and he would feel happier when it was over. They were about to lose Rev. G. A.Kitchen, who had been with them five years. He had been a good citizen and there were persons in the hall that evening who would be pleased do him honor. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 13 May, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Muffin’s Gonna Stop Us Now By Stuart McCullough IT was inevitable, I guess. Sooner or later, it was my destiny that I should be lured back by the siren’s sweet and funky song. It was only ever really a question of when. So it is that after twenty years I have taken the bold leap back into music and joined a band. And not just any band, either. More a super group. By which I mean, of course, that we may wear capes when appearing on stage. So behold the melodic wonderment of my new band, as it will shortly establish itself as a veritable earworm factory. Ladies and gentlemen; I give you Blueberry Crumble Muffin. If you’re thinking that Blueberry Crumble Muffin is either a vane indulgence or a mid life crisis (or both) you couldn’t be more wrong. The whole exercise is one, gigantic artist statement. Namely a statement that says: prepare to have your minds blown. BCM isn’t one of those uber-lame groups that is in fact just one ego maniacal guy and hired hands drafted in to make the video clips seem less sad (yes, I’m looking at you, Simply Red). We’re not like that at all. We’re more like a UN sponsored power-sharing arrangement. That’s because the cofounder and co-lead vocalist of Blueberry Crumble Muffin is my ten-yearold niece, Matilda. Matilda and I aside, the band is pretty much the standard ensemble of bass, keyboards, guitar and unicorn. We feel very strongly that BCM ought to have a unicorn on drums despite the fact that such creatures are not only mythical but as quadrupeds, lack the

opposable thumbs necessary to hold a drumstick. Despite the obstacles, it’s a scientific fact that unicorns are as funky as all get out and it would be an act of supreme foolishness not to have one holding down the rhythm section. We’ll probably have a puppy on bass, too. Not for any particular reason. We

just both really like puppies. But bands aren’t much if they don’t produce music. In fact, the first band I was ever in featured my brother and our neighbour Ashley Nissen and it suffered for the fact that we never produced any music. Not a single note. This, I suspect, severely impaired our

ability to grow our fan base, which at that time was limited to the dog and a handful of chickens. I blame this somewhat spectacular oversight partly on the fact that I was nine years old and the others younger still, and that we had no instruments. This is a mistake that Matilda and I are determined to avoid. But before we get to cranking out the hits, we need to decide on our musical direction and the best way to do that is to discuss our chief musical influences. Mine are Radiohead, Igor Stravinsky and The Randy Van Horne Singers (preferably the early stuff – I went off them when they got too commercial). Matilda’s are her parents. But even before the band was formed, we started writing music together. A while back, Matilda stayed at our house during which we developed the chorus for a little tune we call ‘Eat Your Bagel’. The title pretty much says it all. There are distinct advantages in being in a band that’s largely imaginary. One of the greatest difficulties in being in a group is coordinating rehearsal. Trying to set a time when everyone can turn up is one of the major challenges facing any musician. It becomes a pseudo litmus test for your level of commitment. If Darren the drummer says ‘no’ to three proposed rehearsal times, his heart’s not really in it and it’s probably best for everyone if you get someone else or, better still, replace him with a drum machine. It’s not a problem we have. We also get to avoid loading and unloading the gear from the car. Packing up your gear and hauling it to either

rehearsal or a performance is a sorely overlooked part of being a musician. The greatest skill you can possess as a gigging musician is not a major seventh barre chord or the ability to play a million miles an hour. It’s figuring out how to fit the kick drum into a boot that’s already chock a block full. It’s well a known fact that Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks would not be half as good if Van hadn’t figured out how to squeeze a floor tom into the glove box of his Toyota Corolla. It’s probably premature, but I’m already giving a lot of thought to merchandise. T-shirts and tote bags are to be expected. But I see a line of customized Blueberry Crumble Muffin aprons with the band logo and our faces coming out of a rainbow. Lunchboxes too. With our marketing plan in place, all that remains is for us to create the greatest music to ever tickle an eardrum. Last night, Matilda stayed at our house. I guess you could say it was our first official band meeting. After a couple of renditions of ‘Eat Your Bagle’, we started another song called, ‘Karate Party’. The opening lines are: ‘I’m gonna throw a karate party, with Violet Crumble and a bowl of Smarties’. Although it retains all the much-loved elements of the classic BCM sound, it’s rockier than our earlier effort. I think it’s the unicorn’s influence but Matilda disagrees. Whatever the reason, it’s undoubtedly awesome. Rock on, Blueberry Crumble Muffin. Rock on. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Frankston Times 9 May 2016

THE MAN IN BLACK By Billy Dixon With a career spanning almost twenty years, half a million album sales, gold and platinum albums and eight Golden Guitar Awards, Adam Harvey is back in black, telling the story of Johnny Cash with country music belle Catherine Britt. The Man In Black has been reloaded after two sell-out seasons at the Sydney Opera House and an 18-month Australia-wide tour. The acclaimed show, originally starring Tex Perkins narrating the life of Johnny Cash, won a Helpmann Award for Best Contemporary Australian Concert. Starring in this year’s tour of The Man In Black, Adam Harvey is one of Australia’s most popular and enduring recording artists. “My Dad brainwashed me with Johnny Cash records when I was a kid and I’ve loved his music for as long as I can remember... it’s a great privilege to tell the story. He had an incredible rollercoaster of a life and his music reflected that,” Adam explains. He’ll be taking up the mantle of The Man In Black with Catherine Britt, revealing the tumultuous love story and singing the timeless classics of country music legends

Frankston Times 9 May 2016

Johnny Cash and June Carter. During the mesmerising two-hour performance, Harvey’s full-bass voice booms out the lyrics to 20 of Cash’s best-known songs including Ring of Fire, I Walk the Line, Folsom Prison Blues, A Boy Named Sue, and Jackson, all with the boom-chica-boom rhythms of his band The Tennessee Three. Following Tex’s efforts with the show, Adam and Catherine have really made it their own. Says Catherine, “I’ve never really done anything like it before... but it’s Johnny Cash’s story and music, and it doesn’t get much better than that. It’s so well written, it’s challenging and the songs are just so great. It feels fresh every time we walk on stage!” The duo have been friends for years, and have immense respect for each other’s musical abilities – a wonder to behold on stage, and the possibilities are almost endless. “We’re talking about doing some overseas stuff... I’m up for anything!” notes an excited Catherine. They’re playing at the Frankston Arts Centre on Friday, 3rd June. Tickets available online @ www.thefac.com.au or call 9784 1060.

LANDSCAPES AND EVENTIDE By Andrea Louise Thomas Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery presents two interesting new exhibitions. Country and Western examines the national landscape from the perspective of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists. Eventide is a print exhibition centred on the time between day and night.

day and night is a time of transition and transformation. Thirty-one Australian printmakers explore this in the Eventide exhibition. The exacting nature of printmaking with the use of positive and negative space evocatively conjures images of this in-between time that so captivates the imagination.

When the Papunya Tula dot and circle paintings came to prominence in the early 1970s, it was hailed as the greatest art movement of the 20th century. So radically different was their representation of the Australian landscape that it sent shockwaves through the art world. It influenced nonIndigenous Australian artists. Country and Western looks at the impact of this movement. It also considers issues affecting the land and its inhabitants, such as, environmental changes, mining, land degradation, dispossession, identity and collaboration. The exhibition celebrates the natural beauty and majesty of the Australian continent. Featuring the work of thirty-nine artists, this show is certain to expand perceptions.

Country and Western and Eventide run from Friday, 13th May to Sunday, 3rd July at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery MPRG, Civic Reserve, Mornington. 5975 4395. www. mprg.mornpen.vic.gov.au.

Sharks turn it around PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt BONBEACH went from being belted by Frankston YCW by 114 points in round four to causing the upset of the season a week later in MPNFL Peninsula Division. Sitting on the bottom of the ladder without a win in 2016, the Sharks headed to Wooralla Drive to tackle an undefeated Mt Eliza. By quarter time it was evident that the Bonbeach side that was hammered by the Stonecats was very different to the one that turned up at the home of the Redlegs. The Sharks had nine scoring shots to one in the opening quarter and by half time they had opened up a 31 point lead. The lead had blown out to 46 points by the final break. Mt Eliza rallied in the final quarter and booted six goals to two to eventually go down 14.12 (96) to 11.9 (75). Luke Damon booted four goals for the winners while Shane McDonald booted three. Beau Bailey was again named the Sharks’ best, a former Frankston YCW junior. Ash Waterstone got the tough job on Justin Van Unen and, despite the master booting one of the best goals ever seen, kept him to three goals. ‘JV’ was still outstanding for the Redlegs and is having a very good season under the experience of a new coach. Bonbeach coach Steve Hughes said on Sunday morning that “the coffee tastes better and the paper is a more enjoyable read after a win”. “I was really pleased for the players that we were able to turn it around because they have been working really hard for a long time and the results just haven’t been there,” Hughes said. “I told the group through the week that we had been in the same situation last season, where we were beaten by 100-plus by Frankston YCW in round eight and came out and beat the second placed side, Mornington, the following week. “Maybe what happens is that YCW kick the bad habits out of you. “It was important to have a really positive week on the track last week and have a bit of fun. “There was no external expectation on us going into this match but internally, we just wanted to be proud of the way we played the game. I was really proud of the way they responded and played the game out. “It’s been a real stressful time for them because they have done the work and are not winning games. They deserved to get the four points,” Hughes said. Bonbeach was a lot hungrier this week, stuck its tackles and used the footy well; all areas where they fell down the week before and during important moments of previous matches. Hughes said Damon set the tone for the day with his attack on the footy. “Luke is a real competitor and he’s a real football purest. He split open some packs early and that really got us going,” Hughes said. Frankston YCW again made light work of an opponent – this time it was Pines. The Stonecats booted six goals to one in the opening half and won 12.19 (91) to 5.8 (38). David Bodley was outstanding with five goals while Paul Minchington was at his absolute best with three majors. Chris Guganovic and Adam Mariner were the best of the Pythons. Seaford started its match against Langwarrin the same way it finished its match against Karingal the week before – flat and running backwards. At quarter time, the Tigers had watched the Kangas have 13 shots at goal and lead by 32 points at the break. However, through Josh Stokes, Kain Taylor and Brendan Dawes, worked their way back into the contest. By half time the Tigers had booted seven goals, kept the opposition scoreless and led by nine points. The Tigers ran out 12.12 (84) to 8.16 (64) winners and moved to third place on the ladder. Mornington got their season back on track against Chelsea, although the scoreboard would suggest that the Gulls kicked themselves out of it – 7.19 (61) to 13.11 (89). Michael Gay was back for the Dogs for his first game and he made a significant impression, as did Jackson Calder with three goals. Beau Caia and James Sivijs were the best of the Gulls. Edithvale–Aspendale bounced back from its shock loss last week to beat Karingal, 13.12 (90) to 10.11 (71). The Eagles set up the win with a six goal to two opening quarter, Mick Meehan booting four and Brendan Neville again best. Jordan Kelly and Chris Hay, both back into the Karingal line up, booted two each, while Harry Czarnecki collected the top award.

MPNFL Sharks pick leaders INTERLEAGUE

By Toe Punt THE MPNFL Sharks have culled the interleague squad to less than 60 players as preparation continues for the May 21 clash against Northern Football League. Coach John Hynes said despite the fact that the list was starting to be fine-tuned, there were some players who were continuing to be added to the squad. Young Frankston YCW star defender Brenton Credlin has been added to the

squad while Dan Gormley from Mt Eliza and Beau McMurray from Dromana has also been added. One player that is not in the squad but demands selection in the first five rounds is Hastings’ Luke Hewitt. Gormley and McMurray have been added for their forward power and prowess and they are wonderful, experienced players. However, there is no more explosive, powerful, strong marking, goal kicking, forward pressuring forward in the compe-

tition at the moment than Luke Hewitt. The Sharks have also elected five leaders to take the team into the match. Frankston YCW defenders Byron and Anthony Barry, Mornington star defender Warwick Miller, Dromana coach Rikki Johnston, Pines mid Luke Potts and Sorrento skipper James Hallahan are all part of the leadership group. Training will continue at Frankston’s Jubillee Park over the next couple of weeks before a final week hit out at Kars St Oval.

Jewell has the last laugh NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt OFF the field, it was built up as Rosebud Football Club versus former premiership coach Nick Jewell. On the field, it was nothing more than getting the four points for Jewell’s new club Sorrento and the Buds. It went to the wire. One point separated the sides at the final siren after Sorrento controlled the match for the larger part of the contest. However, with Luke Tapscott in hospital after copping a head knock, Nick Muller off the ground with an AC joint injury and Trev Mattison tearing a hamstring, the Sorras could do nothing but hang on as the visitors and reigning title holders came charging. The Sharks led by 28 points at three quarter time and at one stage led by six goals, however the Buds booted 4.4 to one point in the last to fall short by the smallest of margins – 10.12 (72) to 10.11 (71). Sorrento forward Nick Corp was the dominant player on the ground with four goals. He could have finished with double that had it not been for inaccuracy. At the end of the game, Jewell turned to a portion of the Rosebud crowd, grabbed his Sorrento club polo and kissed the emblem. “It was just a case of showing some of the Rosebud supporters that this is where I am now and I’m loving it,” Jewell said. “I didn’t hear from the Rosebud

crowd all day until the last quarter and I really took offence to what they were saying to ‘Forry’ (Rob Forrest), who was on the bench with me. “I cop it all the time and it doesn’t bother me but Forry didn’t deserve it. “I went and spoke to the Rosebud players on the ground. I love them and have nothing but respect for them. “Unfortunately, it was just a couple

Sudoku and crossword solutions

of the monkeys in the gallery that I had a problem with,” Jewell said. The Sorrento coach was happy with his team’s performance. “We were terrific for three quarters and fought hard to fight it out to the end,” Jewell said. “Matto (Mattison) was sensational, getting back on the ground despite a hamstring and the good news is that

‘Tappy’ (Tapscott), who lost feeling in his left side before the ambulance arrived, has had scans and all is ok other than a very sore neck,” he said. Both Keegan and Sean Downie were superb for the Buds. Somerville flexed its muscles and showed Hastings that it has some work to do before it can be considered as a serious challenger. The Blues went into the match without Josh Mulheron, Luke Clark, Mark Devereaux, Steve Robb and Scott Jansen, which certainly had them on the back foot, however when the going got tough early in the first quarter, the Blues waved the white flag. Injuries was used as an excuse by one Hastings official at three quarter time before another official corrected him and simply stated the Blues were ‘limp’. Other than Jake and Luke Hewitt, Shaun Foster and Peter Mawson, the Blues didn’t give a yelp. Hastings were bullied off the ball, were second to the footy, played from behind, didn’t chase, lacked intensity, ran forward of the footy and looked so much slower than Somerville. Take nothing away from the Eagles, however – they did everything right for three quarters. When the game was over, the Blues booted nine goals in the last quarter to Somerville’s two, finally going down 12.9 (81) to 19.10 (124). The only concern for the Eagles was Justin Farrelly going down just before three quarter time with a knee injury.

‘Faz’ said he hyperextended it and would be alright. Red Hill booted the final five goals of the game to come from 24 points down at the ten minute mark of the last quarter to beat Rye 10.10 (70) to 10.6 (66). An emotional Hillmen coach Tony Blackford said it was one of the best victories he had been involved with and showed his side had enormous courage and fight. Matt Hyden was simply sensational for the Hillmen and willed his side across the line when they needed someone to stand up. Matt Greig again almost single handedly won the Demons the game with six goals, four of them coming in the first half. Pearcedale booted eight goals to two in a blistering opening term against Dromana and went on to record a very convincing 18.15 (123) to 10.10 (70) victory. The Panthers haven’t been a daunting proposition at home for some time but that certainly is changing again under the guide of coach Jamie Merchan. Kallum Searle played his best game for the club while Glenn Anderson booted three goals. Billy Quigley and Christian Ongarello were the best of the Tigers. Frankston Bombers took its good form against Hastings one step further against Devon Meadows and beat them 25.13 (163) to 13.7 (85), while Crib Point won its first game of the season, beating Tyabb with Brad Davidson booting five goals in his 150th game.

Four clubs chasing championship glory SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FOUR local clubs are in the hunt for title honours after six rounds of the 2016 soccer season. Mornington is equal on points with league leader Malvern City, Skye and Baxter head their respective leagues while Rosebud Heart is breathing down the neck of its Baxter Park arch rival. Mornington found Mooroolbark a tough nut to crack but fashioned a 2-1 win in their State 1 South-East clash at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday. Andy McCabe’s visitors deservedly went in 1-0 up at the interval thanks to a 43rd-minute strike from Adam Doughty. During the break Mornington coach Adam Jamieson replaced Scott Webster with Nick Waite and switched to a 4-3-3 formation and this attacking move was rewarded with an equaliser in the 59th minute via a low, hard drive from the edge of the box by Chris Reid. Jamieson then substituted defender Chris McKenna for winger Michael Freeman who skinned two opponents in the 83rd minute and struck a firm shot across the opposition keeper and into goal for the winner. Mooroolbark’s Dave Brickell was sent off in the 89th minute. Frankston Pines succumbed to a Korean KO when it went down 4-2 away to Casey Comets in their State 1 South-East derby last Friday night. Comets went ahead in the 36th minute thanks to a Danny Waddup cross and a header into the far corner

by gun Comets striker Ryan Hughes. South Korean import Sanghyup Han’s low left foot free-kick in the 44th minute somehow eluded everyone and nestled in the far corner of the Pines goal to make it 2-0. But Pines hit back in the 67th minute when a short corner found Matty Davis who curled the ball over Com-

ets custodian Michael Sivulja then Matthew Hames robbed an opponent and set up Ioasa Saemo for a tap in to make it 2-2 after 71 minutes. That was the signal for Han and Junsoo Park to do their thing. In the 75th minute Han sent his countryman clear and Park finished past a helpless Sam Griggs in the Pines goal. Han settled matters two minutes later with a shot on the turn from 10 metres. Langwarrin continued its stuttering start to the State 1 South-East season when it slumped to a fourth loss in six games going down 3-1 away to Manningham United Blues on Saturday. Franc Carafa gave the home team the lead after nine minutes but Langy’s stand-in skipper Boris Ovcin equalised and it was 1-1 at half-time. Two classic snatch-and-grab strikes in the second period by Vojtech Engleman in the 70th minute and Aaron Root in the 85th minute left Langy lamenting a series of missed chances. Manningham’s Matthew Infantino was sent off in the 89th minute. The promotion momentum of Peninsula Strikers took a hit with a 4-1 away loss on Sunday in a State 2 South-East clash with North Caulfield. Ilya Davidov put Yonnie Lipshatz through in the 8th minute and he toepoked the ball past advancing Strikers keeper Richard Ojo to make it 1-0. Strikers hit back six minutes later when Trevor Johnston found space at the back post to power a header past Oscar Vonk following a corner from

the right. Just on half-time referee Hary Milas pointed to the penalty spot and Gideon Sweet converted. Red cards for Matt Morris-Thomas and substitute Ali Osmani in the second half ended Strikers’ hopes and Davidov struck twice in the closing minutes to complete the scoreline. Seaford United went down 1-0 in a State 2 South-East clash away to promotion chasing Doveton on Saturday but showed great determination in stretching the home side every inch of the way. The decisive moment came in the 16th minute after Seaford passed up three chances to clear and Saidi Simba’s deflected shot wrongfooted Seaford keeper Nick Bergmans. Skye United heads the State 4 South table after Saturday’s 4-2 home win over Endeavour United. Skye captain Mark O’Connor’s low shot in the 11th minute opened the scoring but Dalveer Jandu levelled midway through the half after nutmegging a defender then firing the ball past Skye keeper Jonathan Crook. Jason Nowakovski then handed the visitors the lead less than five minutes later, cutting inside on his left to find the back-of-the-net. Skye’s Josh Tanner restored parity right on half-time when his cross, directed at the front post, snuck through keeper Franco Marateo’s legs to make it 2-2. With 12 minutes remaining, Skye hit Endeavour on the break as substitute Matt Wilson propelled his side into an unlikely lead with a powerful attempt across Marateo and into the

bottom left corner. Man-of-the-match Daniel Attard sealed the result five minutes later in similar circumstances. Skye gaffer Billy Armour is keen to maintain his club’s momentum and was hoping to sign Alex Roberts from Seaford as we went to press. Baxter kept its perfect record intact and sits on top of State 5 South after a 2-0 away win over Old Mentonians last weekend. The visitor took a 1-0 lead into the half-time break thanks to a clever free kick from Liam Kilner which set up Daniel Sharratt for a tap-in and his second goal of the season. Shaun Walker settled the issue after coming off the bench in the 75th minute to open his account for 2016. Local rival Rosebud Heart also has made a perfect start to the season and stayed on a collision course with Baxter thanks to a 5-0 away win against Pakenham United on Saturday. A three-goal blitz in the opening 15 minutes ended this as a contest. Heart’s goals came from Dave Greening (3), Beau Sharpe and Aaron Young. NEXT WEEKEND’S GAMES Saturday, 7 May, 3pm: Frankston Pines v Manningham Utd Blues (Monterey Reserve), Warragul Utd v Mornington (Baxter Park, Warragul), Morwell Pegasus v Langwarrin (Ronald Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Sandringham (Centenary Park), Heatherton Utd v Seaford Utd (Bosnia & Herzegovina Centre), Noble Park v Skye Utd (Norman Luth Reserve), Baxter v Casey Panthers (Baxter Park), Rosebud Heart bye.
