Secateurs at the ready …

VOLUNTEERS pruned more than 4000 rose bushes at Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens last week – and then enjoyed dinner.

Fine weather on Saturday 14 July and a bracing breeze off Port Phillip on the Sunday made the annual pruning weekend enjoyable for the volunteers and visitors. Free pruning demonstrations by the Rose Society of Victoria attracted 65 enthusiasts over the two days.

Safety call for footpath Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A GROUP of Mt Eliza residents wants Mornington Peninsula Shire to build a footpath along Baden Powell Drive between Humphries Road and Nepean Highway to make “this treacherous piece of road” safer for pedestrians.

Spokesperson Mandy Barr said the footpath would link the Baden Pow-

ell side of Frankston South and Canadian Bay Road footpaths, leading to schools, community centres, Mt Eliza village and, eventually, to Mornington “when the footpath is completed along Nepean Highway”.

“This pathway needs to be an immediate priority under Mornington Peninsula Shire’s pedestrian access strategy as it is clearly a strategic investment,” she said. “It takes into consideration

pedestrian safety, connection to facilities, community requests as well as environmental, social and economic impacts.

“It would link up a strategic network of connected paths that would encourage people to walk, run and pursue other outdoor activities.

“It should be considered as an integral part of the path network for the Mt Eliza township and the shire overall.”

The group is frustrated that Baden Powell Drive is not included in the shire’s draft pedestrian access strategy even though it a “major thoroughfare”.

Ms Barr described it as a “connector road for cars, trucks, buses from Nepean highway through to Frankston”.

She said it was a shortcut and a service road used when Nepean Highway is closed due to accidents anywhere between the base of Olivers Hill,

Frankston South, up to Canadian Bay Road, Mt Eliza.

The road is the continuation of Kars Street, Frankston, meaning traffic also comes up the back way to cut through to Nepean highway.

“The path would increase safety for all residents, especially younger children, the elderly and the disabled, who currently can’t safely use this stretch of road,” she said.

Rosebud Endoscopy is NOW Fully Operational!

ROSEBUD ENDOSCOPY

Specialist Gastroenterologists Every Step is Towards The Healthier Life

Early Diagnosis and Removal of Precancerous Lesions

Prevention is Better than Cure

Bowel cancer remains the second most common internal cancer in Australia.

Tests that can detect early bowel cancer.

There are large sections of the community who are simply not aware of their risks of bowel cancer.

The most important risk factor is being at or above 50 years of age.There were more than 17,000 new cases of bowel cancers last year.

The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program involves collection and testing for minute traces of blood in the stools – the Faecal Occult Blood Test, or FOBT – every 2 years from the age of 50. The gold standard test is a colonoscopy which is now internationally recommended every 7-10 years for anyone above the age of 50.

“My doctor hasn’t recommended colonoscopy.”

If your doctor hasn’t had the discussion with you, if you are 50 or over, you are allowed to politely start the conversation yourself.

Why choose Rosebud Endoscopy?

Rosebud Endoscopy is part of the GASTROMEDICINE & ENDOSCOPY (GME) group, with its sister day surgery centre, Mornington Endoscopy. The group was established in 2007 to provide gastrointestinal care for patients on the Mornington Peninsula. GME now comprises of 9 Specialist Gastroenterologists, all are very well respected by their peers and many Specialists hold important positions in the training of new Gastroenterologists at major teaching hospitals in Melbourne.

Prevention is the key.

The “average risk” persons that will benefit the most from undergoing routine screening are those who are fit and well, without symptoms and in the 50-75 age bracket.

It is also pleasing to know that Rosebud Endoscopy is now the only fully accredited centre in Rosebud. It has been endorsed by the Victorian Health Department since 13 May 2018.

Cliff works wait for break in weather Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A BREAK in the weather could soon see “surplus” sand at Mt Martha Beach South being used to protect cliffs from erosion at Mt Martha Beach North.

The Department of Environment Land, Water and Planning (DELPW) says about 150 cubic metres of sand will be used to fill a “sand tube” of geotextile fabric to be placed between the crumbling cliff and beach boxes.

The tube will be held in place between two lines of rocks which, in turn, will form part of a rock revetment, designed to be a more permanent solution to the cliff erosion.

Authorities fear that the eroding cliff will eventually threaten the stability of the Esplanade.

The beach has for years been subject to severe erosion, losing sand over the winter and seeing beach boxes undermined by the sea.

At least five have been demolished over the past year and another half a dozen are either leaving against one another or sagging on their foundations.

When built, the beach boxes were close to the foot of the cliff but are now some metres away due to the erosion.

Signs say the beach is closed due to the unstable cliffs.

The costs of retaining the beach and protecting the cliff - $880,000 at this stage - have revived calls from Port Phillip Conservation Council for the beach boxes to be permanently removed from the beach (“Call for beach boxes to go” The News 12/2/18).

In 2010, 12,500 cubic metres of sand was moved from Mt Martha South Beach to Mt Martha North but little remained after three years.

The Mt Martha North Beach Group, which sees the planned works as going only “some way towards solving our problems”, says a 25 metre long rock groyne north of the beach will prevent further loss of sand. Consultants have put a $330,000 price tag on the groyne (“Call to make a point” The News 5/12/18). Other remedies suggested in a July 2017 report by Water Technology cost up to $4 million.

The report warns that by 2040 sea level rises “will make this a difficult location to maintain a beach”.

Last week DELWP coastal projects program officer Cass Philippou said “temporary protection” at the toe of the cliff at Mt Martha North Beach “allows the department more time to gather additional geotechnical data to inform the design of the permanent works”.

While there are no set sand levels for sand at beaches “there has been a considerable net gain at Mt Martha

South”.

“We have recently carried out surveys of both beaches to determine the sand levels, and are confident that either beach can easily cope with the small amount of sand removal (150 m3) that is required for the temporary works,” Ms Philippou said.

“The design for the permanent rock revetment at Mt Martha Beach North is expected to be complete by late August. Construction is anticipated to begin in the first half of 2019.”

The department’s land and built environment program manager, John Downs said most erosion of cliff faces around Port Phillip “is largely caused by wave erosion at the toe of the cliff” rather than run-off down the slope.

He said it was “unlikely” that any loss of vegetation between the Esplanade and toe of the cliff “is having a significant impact on cliff erosion and the geotechnical conditions at Mt Martha North”.

“The geotechnical assessment for the Mt Martha North site is still underway and the full analysis, report and recommendations for the revetment design have not yet been provided to DELWP,” Mr Downs said.

“However, current advice to DELWP from geotechnical engineers is that they don't believe run-off is a major factor causing erosion or destabilisation of the cliff at this site.”

Shifting sands: Sand will be taken from Mt Martha South Beach, right, to help stop cliff erosion at Mt Martha North Beach. The erosion, above, and landslides is threatening beach boxes and the Esplanade. A sign erected by Mornington Peninsula Shires says the beach is closed.

New train stations and extended rail line Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A GANG of politicians gathered at Baxter train station last week to spruik a $450 million plan to extend the electrification of the Frankston line to Baxter.

The train station provided a platform on Tuesday (17 July) for Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to accompany a coalition of state Liberal opposition leader Matthew Guy and Liberal federal and state politicians for the big pre-elections spending promise.

The state election in Victoria will be held in November this year and a federal election must be held by November next year at the latest.

Mr Turnbull told an assembled media pack that an eight-kilometre electrification extension beyond Frankston to Baxter is “a hugely important piece of infrastructure”.

Diesel trains on the unreliable Stony Point line to Baxter will be replaced by electric trains and new additional stations will be built in Frankston East, near Frankston Hospital and Monash University’s peninsula campus, and at Langwarrin.

Work would begin next year.

“A new station at Frankston East will improve access to Frankston Hospital for patients and families as well as health professionals and it will also and help students get to the local campus of Monash University,” Mr Guy said.

“There are two things people in

Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula should know, firstly that the Liberals will duplicate and electrify the rail to Baxter and second, Daniel Andrews and Bill Shorten won’t.”

The state and federal Labor parties have not yet confirmed they will electrify rail to Baxter if in government after the next elections.

The Labor state government is undertaking a federally-funded business case study on the proposal.

“We hope state and federal Labor get on board soon,” Committee for Greater Frankston president Fred Harrison said.

Victorian Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan did not respond to questions about the progress of the business case study or any Labor commitment to the project.

Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton, a Labor Party member, said Frankston Council welcomes the joint Liberal state and federal commitment to the electrification of the rail line beyond Frankston.

“Electrification beyond Frankston station will mean people living further up the line or from the Mornington Peninsula will be able to get on a train at Langwarrin or Baxter and commute directly to Monash University, Frankston Hospital and Frankston Private Hospital, Chisholm TAFE or directly into Melbourne.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bryan Payne, a Liberal Party member, welcomed a pledge by the Liberals made on the day the Baxter line project was announced to com-

mit $2.5 million each year to run more Route 788 bus services between Portsea and Frankston.

“Currently the Route 788 bus carries over half a million passengers annually with current frequencies from 45 minutes to 100 minutes,” Cr Payne said.

Federal Dunkley Liberal MP Chris Crewther, whose ultra-marginal electorate will lose the northern part of Baxter to neighbouring Flinders at the next federal election, was one of several Liberal politicians to head to Baxter last Tuesday.

Mr Hunt, the federal Flinders MP, was in Mayo in South Australia on 17 July on the by-election campaign trail for Liberal candidate Georgina Downer, announcing more than $1.1 million as federal Health Minister to help people with mental illnesses in regional and rural areas across South Australia.

Back in Baxter the Prime Minister was quizzed about his comments earlier on the Tuesday when interviewed by radio station 3AW when he said “Sudanese gangs in Melbourne is an issue”.

Mr Turnbull said his government has “zero tolerance for racism” and told 3AW: “There is certainly concern about street crime in Melbourne. There is real concern about Sudanese gangs.”

Mothers marking time Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au CELEBRATIONS come and go with regularity, most often marked by years. And this has become the norm for members of a mothers' group in Mt Martha celebrating their decadelong friendship.

Although not related, the 11 families have kept pace with each other, watching their children progress through various stages of growth and schooling.

Some have moved away, but the bonds remain.

The families were brought together when the mothers joined a group organised through Mornington Peninsula Shire’s maternal and child health centre at the Bentons Square Community Centre, Mornington.

“The mother’s group started 10 years ago and is still going strong,” Karen Lloyd said.

“We are so grateful that this group was made available; the support and advice that we were given was

invaluable. We became each other’s babysitters, shoulders to cry on and support. We have celebrated so many milestones together and still rely on each other for advice on how to raise

these cheeky little monkeys.

“The kids call each other their surrogate brothers and sisters, if they don’t have any, and we are all second mums and dads to all of them.”

A decade on: The mothers group members celebrating their decade-long friendship, top left, Lee Cadman, Michelle Lawrence, Alison Murphy, Kylie Donnelly, Jo Johnson, Karen Lloyd, Kim Harris, Danyel Christie, Carissa Meagher.

As part of their 10-year celebration the mothers “re-enacted” some photos taken when their children “were bubs, and now they are all 10, with many siblings”.

Ms Lloyd said nine of the 11 original mothers’ group families were at the celebration.

"We still all catch up and support each other - sometimes at our houses, sometimes at parks,” she said.

The 11 mothers who made up the group were Ms Lloyd, Michelle Lawrence, Lee Cadman, Alison Murphy, Olivia Ellul , Jo Johnson, Carissa Meagher, Danyel Christie, Kim Harris, Megan Elliot and Kylie Donnelly.

The original group of toddlers Tessa, Charlotte, Helena, Brody L, Tora, Rubie, Lucy, James, Lily, Bentley, Brody J – were later joined by siblings Lachie, Eli, Summer, Jack, Mason, Ollie, Matilda, Max, Grace,

Kobi, Audrey and Brax.

Since meeting each other in April 2008, the mothers have celebrated their anniversary at various venues, including Myuna Farm (Doveton), Mornington Park, Santa’s Place (Moorooduc), riding on the historic Puffing Billy steam train and making caravan trips.

The extended families include three children who were born on the same day, two at the The Bays hospital, Mornington, at the same time without their mothers realising it until comparing notes after joining the mothers’ group.

Ms Lloyd said four of the children at the mothers’ group “ended up going to Osborne Primary School together” while others went to St Macartan’s in Mornington, Mt Martha Primary and Benton Junior College.

Some of the children attend the same ballet school while others are members of the same netball and football teams.

“We have a massive Christmas party every year and try to get all the fathers there,” Ms Lloyd said.

“They say it takes a community to raise a child, well, we are certainly trying to foster one together.”

Residents call on shire to make a path

Road safety concerns: Tash Jones, Anne Drummond and Mandy Barr in Baden Powell Drive.

Picture: Ebony Elise

Continued from Page 1 “It is only a matter of time before someone is hit by a car, injured or even worse given the narrow shoulders, and poor lighting on the windy road from Nepean Highway along Baden Powell Drive.

“Children currently have no way to commute (supervised or otherwise) to the many facilities available nearby.”

Ms Barr said “despite multiple inquiries by residents before the strategy was published, together with 200 signatures gathered in 72 hours, the council had again left this important link off its future plans”.

The group met with council officers recently

who suggested they beautify and clean up the reserve alongside Baden Powell Drive. “They said we should start volunteer groups which could give us access to council grants,” Ms Barr said.

“Then our footpath proposal would be more appealing to the council as we all chip in and make it a friendly environment.

“Community safety is our main priority on this connector road,” she said. “We are ratepayers who pay a high premium to live on the peninsula.

“We have no direct bus service to Mt Eliza so if we do not drive we have to take to the street to get to public facilities and village. My kids walk home from the village bus stop at their own risk

crossing a busy highway and along a bustling Baden Powell Drive.”

Transport for Victoria told the group that Mt Eliza presented a “significant challenge for effective service planning, as potential bus routes are obliged to take winding, circuitous steep roads that result in increased journey times for passengers as well as significantly increasing service delivery cost”.

Ms Barr countered: “Five days a week numerous private school buses go up and down Humphries Road and Baden Powell Drive in peak hour.”

Mornington Peninsula Shire was contacted for comment.

Charges follow ‘abhorrent’ attack on paramedic A ROSEBUD man who allegedly stabbed a female paramedic, Friday 13 July, was Wednesday night charged with intentionally and recklessly causing serious injury and several other assault charges.

The paramedic, 46, was loading her two children into her car after picking up take-away from a shop in Nepean Highway, Rosebud, when the man, 47, allegedly grabbed her from behind and slashed her across the chest with a box cutter in a random attack. He then rode away on a bicycle.

The woman was taken to Frankston Hospital where she received a “large number of stitches” to treat a 15 centimetre gash on her chest.

Ambulance Victoria chief executive Tony Walker said the paramedic’s

Police patrol children aged four and six witnessed the “absolutely abhorrent” attack from the back seat of the car.

Still in shock the next day, the woman said on radio she thought she may have treated the man in her role as a paramedic. While not drawing a link to her job and the recent spate of attacks on emergency services workers, she said she would not wear her uniform when driving home again in case it had “triggered” the attack.

Detective Senior Constable Alex Montgomery, of Mornington Peninsula CIU, said the man had been charged at Dandenong police station and remanded to appear at Melbourne

Armed robbery, assault charges A ST ANDREWS Beach man has been charged with aggravated burglary after allegedly breaking into a Sorrento house and stealing cash, phone, iPad and attempting to steal a car, Thursday 12 July.

Residents at the Hotham Road house awoke to noises and looked outside to see a man sitting in the driver’s seat of their Holden station wagon as it rolled down the driveway.

Detective Sergeant Rohan Brock said the residents confronted the man and attempted to hold him until police arrived. When he became agitated they were forced to let him go al-

though they did manage to retrieve the iPad, cash and phone.

The next day, Friday 13 July, police arrested a man, 23, in Rosebud after he allegedly threatened a man, 50, with a knife, and hid in a shed. He was remanded in custody to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Thursday 23 August, on assault charges.

The man is due to appear at a filing hearing at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, Wednesday 18 July, on other charges, including criminal damage and armed robbery of a taxi driver in the city, Monday 9 July, and evading police.

With Stephen Taylor

Magistrates’ Court, Thursday 19 July.

He was then further remanded to appear at a committal hearing at the same court on Thursday 11 October to face additional charges, including criminal damage, theft, assault, theft of a motor car and weapons offences.

Detective Montgomery said the other charges related to violent incidents following the alleged assault on the paramedic in which the man allegedly used a small axe to smash the windows of a car in Ninth Avenue, Rosebud; used the axe to smash the window of a take-away food store in Pt Nepean Road while the owners cowered inside and pleaded with him that they were closed; and then stole a car from outside the Rosebud Hotel before crashing it into a tree opposite.

The man then allegedly threatened those trying to help him out of the car with a hammer and the axe before running off and hiding on the foreshore.

Detective Montgomery said the man was finally arrested by Rosebud police after passers-by saw him outside the station holding a knife, 2.45am.

The man complained of an injured leg and was taken to Dandenong Hospital for treatment where he was held under guard before being interviewed and charged five days later.

Glass everywhere: Police estimate up to $2000 damage was done to Nepean Liberal candidate Russell Joseph’s Holden sedan in the random attack. Pictures: Supplied

Would-be MP rues street rampage ASPIRING politician Russell Joseph was “inadvertently caught up” in the drama which unfolded in Rosebud, Friday 13 July, when an off-duty paramedic was stabbed, shop windows smashed, cars crashed and traders huddled in fear.

The Nepean Liberal candidate had left his Ninth Avenue office about 7pm and stepped into the dark street.

“The street light was not working but I could see police standing around my car and heard the commotion and wondered what was going on,” he said. “Then I saw the car’s smashed windscreen, smashed side and rear windows … there was glass everywhere …”

He was told a man – at that time

still on the run after allegedly assaulting the paramedic – had used a tomahawk to cause up to $2000 damage to his Holden sedan.

“It was certainly a shock. On an otherwise peaceful evening in Rosebud, some guy on a drug fuelled bender had trashed my car, stabbed a woman, threatened another with a tomahawk, trashed another car and assaulted an ambo,” he said.

“He is now thankfully in custody, and as far as I know the other victims are doing as well as can be expected.”

While saying he’d “had better days” he said the trauma was “nothing compared to that experienced by the paramedic”.

“I really feel for her,” he said.

Guards march off job at naval base GUARDS employed by Wilson Security walked off the job at HMAS Cerberus, Crib Point last week to protest changes to workplace rules.

The action resulted in bans on visitor checks, on-site patrols, bag and vehicle checks and training. Industrial action elsewhere affected Defence sites across the state as well as at hospitals, offices, stations, and factories.

The guards, members of United Voice, are angry at what they claim are “broken bargaining rules in the security industry and across the workforce”.

They say they have been negotiating with Wilson on pay and job security for a year and a half.

United Voice Victorian secretary Jess Walsh said Wilson had imposed a two-year pay freeze on the guards and sought to introduce a two-tier pay structure as a way of pushing new guards on to the award minimum. He said it was the third time guards had taken industrial action in recent months, and was “the most widespread action to date”.

JULY - SEPTEMBER 2018 At Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery

“These guards are highly-trained, professional staff who do incredibly important work protecting our men and women in uniform, as well as patients and health professionals, and yet their pay has been squeezed for the last two years,” Mr Walsh said.

“They do not deserve this kind of disrespect.

“They will do whatever it takes to win jobs they can count on.”

Mr Walsh said the action caused significant disruption at HMAS Cerberus as well as at other Defence sites, including the Australian Geospatial Intelligence site at Bendigo, Simpson Barracks, Defence Fisherman’s Bend and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Maribyrnong.

“There is a risk that if the action escalates, operations on some bases would be shut down,” he said.

Wilson Security was invited to comment on the action.

HMAS Cerberus would not comment.

Village shops reject plastic bags ENVIRONMENT group BERG Mt Martha is pleased that the major supermarkets have stopped handing customers single-use plastic bags but says there is “still a long way to go” in “the war on waste”.

BERG adopted the Clean, Green Mt Martha slogan last year when it began campaigning against the use of plastic bags.

“The first step was gradually to introduce the program to the community,” project officer Liz Barraclough said.

“Most traders came on board, particularly the biggest shop IGA. “But even though we can celebrate most of Mt Martha Village going single-use plastic bag free, there is still a long way to go.

“It’s terrific to see so many Mt Martha shoppers using their own bags or just carrying out their few items, and happily supporting the change”, Ms Barraclough said.

The group’s campaign included promoting the documentary A Plastic Ocean;

Carrying out litter audits of Balcombe Estuary; and, inviting local traders to a meeting to get them to agree on a plan of action.

Ms Barraclough said ABC-TV’s War on Waste series “also inspired residents to be more aware of what goes into their garbage bins”.

BERG MM and Mt Martha Boomerang Bags held an information display outside Mt Martha IGA to highlight the plastic pollution problem, suggesting such alternatives as compostable dog poo bags, paper straws, bubbles instead of balloons, fabric shopping and fruit bags.

Boomerang Bags gave away 40 re-usable shopping bags sewn by volunteers from fabric scraps and remnants.

Boomerang Bags are available free or for a donation at White Vase, in Mt Martha Village, or The Briars office.

Boomerang Bag sewing bees are held 1-4pm Mondays at Mt Martha Community House.

Details: boomerangbags.mm@gmail.com

Heritage lawn for croquet THE rinks have been laid, membership is growing and the first association croquet club in Mt Martha is ready for play.

The Briars Heritage Croquet Club secretary Maureen Gordon said the new club would enhance the history of the Briars and its original occupants, as well as providing a great outdoor activity for all age groups.

She said club members had raised money to resurrect the original croquet lawn, thanks to the “tireless efforts” of executive members Maureen and Lewis Gordon, Beverley Treloar, Ross Bayley, members Victor Sullivan and Ursula Drennan, supporters Valerie Gardiner and Geoffrey Swain, as well as The Briars staff and local businesses.

They had obtained a lease for play and maintenance of the new court from Mornington Peninsula Shire.

“Membership is growing and qualified coaching is available for a challenging fun game in a splendid environment,” she said.

Ms Gordon said the Victorian Croquet Association was encouraging councils to promote croquet. She said Mornington Peninsula Shire had made a $3000 grant. Details: call 97814118.

Anniversary of murders chance to help

The Frankston Community Noticeboard group on Facebook have organised a memorial on Monday 30 July at “Nat’s Track” in Skye Road, Frankston at the track named for Natalie Russell.

Her parents, Brian and Carmel Russell, will attend the memorial ceremony.

An online “Give ‘Baby Jake’ a Future” campaign has also been launched to coincide with the 25th-anniversary memorial.

“We’re raising money to get him back on his feet,” Petraitis said.

“What I’ve found is every time you ask something of someone, people are brilliant … people want to direct their feelings somehow.

“How about helping Jake back on his feet?”

The author hopes Mr Blair can attend the memorial but knows he may find it difficult to do so.

“I’d be honoured to meet him.”

Petraitis said the 25th anniversary of the murders, updated Frankston Murders book and memorial is a chance to remind politicians that Paul Denyer should not be released from jail in five years’ time.

He was initially sentenced to life without parole but this was reduced to 30 years with the possibility of release on appeal.

“We need to get this story out because we need to remind the government that Paul Denyer can never ever get out of jail,” Petraitis said.

She hopes the updated book can let younger people know about the longlasting impact of the murders on the victims’ families.

“It occurred to me that there’s a whole generation of people under 30 and this really has happened outside their lived experience and memory.

“Don’t ever forget what and who he took.” n A 25th anniversary memorial of the Frankston murders will be held at Nat’s Track, Skye Road, Frankston on Monday 30 July, 3pm. See au.gofundme. com and search for “Give Baby Jake a future” to contribute to the fundraising campaign “to raise money to give him a new start, to help him find a place to live, and give him a chance to find work, or perhaps further his education.”

discounts” for the community and small businesses in Hastings, Crib Point, Bittern and the towns along the pipeline route “should the project proceed” – Hastings MP Neale Burgess and Flinders MP Greg Hunt have said they oppose AGL’s project (“Libs ‘united’ against gas plan” The News 10/7/18).

A protest on the foreshore at Hastings was attended by hundreds of people who marched with placards and listened to speakers warn about risks to public safety and the environment posed by the gas terminal (“Hundreds at power protest” The News 3/7/18).

In June APA said it had been working with AGL since October 2017 and, if given the go ahead by governments and the AGL, it expected the first domestic market gas delivery along the pipeline in the 2021 financial year.

APA describes itself as “Australia’s

leading energy infrastructure business”.

“We’ve been connecting Australia’s energy since 2000. From small beginnings we’ve become a top 50 ASX-listed company, employing 1700 people and owning and operating the largest interconnected gas transmission network across Australia,” the company’s website states.

“We deliver smart, reliable and safe solutions through our deep industry knowledge and interconnected infrastructure.”

In announcing dates for the community information sessions APA said the meetings “will deliver an update on the project and provide an opportunity to ask questions and share your views”.

“The project is subject to a comprehensive program of regulatory approvals which are supported by environmental technical studies and surveys undertaken by specialists for APA. The technical

Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A MEMORIAL to remember the three victims of the 1993 Frankston murders will be held this month amid a community-led push to now help the “unknown victim” of the murders.

Jake Blair, now 25, was just 12 days old when his mother, Debbie Fream, 22, was murdered in 1993 by Paul Denyer who also killed Elizabeth Stevens, 18, and Natalie Russell, 17.

In this year of the 25th anniversary of the murders, true crime book author Vikki Petraitis has updated her bestselling The Frankston Murders book to remind people of the lives lost and the ongoing impact on the victims’ families.

“I really want to tell their story now because people want to know how they are,” Petraitis said.

Finding out what happened to “baby Jake” 25 years after his mother’s murder is part of the updated book entitled The Frankston Murders, 25 Years On published by Clan Destine Press.

“Baby Jake was on the front page of every newspaper — a 12-day-old baby,” she said.

“I found him and interviewed him and he’s led a really tough life and a diminished life from what he could perhaps have had if his mother hadn’t been taken.”

Mr Blair now resides in Mount Gambier in South Australia. Petraitis said “he’s now really alone and feels very isolated” after the death of father Garry in 2012 at the age of just 43.

A mother and lives lost An extract from The Frankston Murders, 25 Years On by Vikki Petraitis available at clandestinepress.com. au and bookstores: ‘Jake was in the third grade at a primary school in Warrnambool when he became aware that he didn’t have a mother.

He walked to school by himself and one day, a classmate asked him why he didn’t get dropped off to school by his mum. Little Jake had never given it much thought because you can’t miss what you never had.

But the boy’s question startled him.

His dad, Garry, had partners over the years, but Jake never called them mum; he always referred to them by their first names.

Jake’s heart started to race towards panic as the understanding crashed down on him; he didn’t

have a mother of his own.

In the anxiety attack that followed, Jake’s teacher sent him to the principal’s office to wait, while the school called his dad to come and pick him up. When he got to school, Garry Blair talked to the principal while Jake waited outside. He couldn’t hear what they were talking about.

Walking home together was the perfect opportunity to raise the question of his mother, but young Jake read his father’s mood, and said nothing. Garry didn’t either. It took him a couple of days before he raised it with his son.

Gas pipeline ‘reports’ at drop-in talks

Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au TECHNICAL reports supporting applications to build a gas pipeline from Crib Point to Pakenham will be available this week at “community sessions” at Balnarring, Hastings and Crib Point.

The proposed 60 kilometre pipeline costing between $160-$200 million is required to carry gas from a floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) planned to be moored at Crib Point by power supplier AGL. AGL announced last month that it has signed an agreement for the pipeline with APA as well as another agreement to prepare the berth at Crib Point for the 300 metre long FRSU (“Contracts ‘advance’ AGL’s gas plan” The News 12/6/18).

Since that announcement – which included “guaranteed [gas and electricity]

reports that will support the project’s environmental effect referral and Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation referral will be presented.

“Representatives from AGL will be also present at these sessions to answer your questions and queries about the FSRU Project.”

APA managing director Mick McCormack said in a 12 June news release that “shipping-in the much needed resource [gas] is a smart solution”.

“I’ve said for some time now that the east coast gas issues are about a lack of affordable gas supply, and this innovative solution championed and progressed by AGL certainly goes towards injecting a flexible source of new gas supply into the tight domestic market in eastern Australia,” Mr McCormack said.

“This should help alleviate potential

gas supply shortfalls in Victoria in 2021 - 2022 as forecast by the Australian Energy Market Operator.

“We’ll continue to work with AGL and all the relevant stakeholders to help bring this project to where a final investment decision can be made. As with all our new build projects, engaging with communities and landholders will be our key focus in the near term.”

The community sessions organised

by APA and AGL will he held at 6pm this Friday (27 July) at Balnarring Hall, 3041 Frankston-Flinders Road; 12.30pm on Saturday (28 July) Hastings Hall, 3 High Street, Hastings; and pm Tuesday 31 July Crib Point Hall, 7 Park Road.

Drop-in sessions are also being held along the proposed route of the pipeline at Nar Nar Goon and Cardinia.

This year the Halo Coterie Mid-Season Lunch and Season Review will be held at RSEA Park on Friday 3rd August 2018. Hear from Assistant Coach Adam Kingsley as he provides you with the coaches analysis of our season to date. You’ll also be entertained by a panel of some of your favourite former Saints, including Leigh Montagna, Nick Dal Santo and Stephen Milne, who will provide their own insights on the 2018 AFL season so far.

Healthy, hearty start to pupils’ day Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PUPILS at 14 Mornington Peninsula schools can start their day with a full tummy thanks to the state government’s school breakfast clubs and the help of volunteers.

They are among 500 schools across the state to have received 50,000 free meals each week since 2016 – with almost 210,000 meals going to pupils at primary schools on the peninsula.

These also include Baxter, Bittern, Crib Point, Hastings, Langwarrin Park, Somerville, Somerville Rise, Wallaroo, Mornington Special Development School, Eastbourne, Tootgarook and Rosebud primary schools.

Heather Christie, who coordinates the breakfasts at Mornington Park Primary school with colleague Russell Ardley, said the program was “fabulous”.

“Every day we feed 40-60 children their choice of cereals, fresh and tinned fruit, and cooked meals including eggs, hash browns, pancakes and waffles,” she said.

“There is always the choice of hot or cold meals including cheese and tomato toast or baked beans.”

The 15-year-old service runs five days a week ensuring the pupils always start their day the right way. Ms Christie runs the program Mondays and Fridays, while Mr Ardley is in charge Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

She praised the help of long-time supporters Jacobs and Lowe Real Estate, whose staff donate fruit and

help out Wednesdays and Thursdays, and Mornington Woolworths, which donates bread on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

“Other helpers include the Mornington Lions Club, Bunnings, Mornington Community Information and Support Centre, along with some amazing individuals who give freely of their

time. They must all be recognised,” Ms Christie said.

Parents also help the program run smoothly. “If parents want to sit with their children while they are having breakfast they are most welcome anytime,” she said.

Education Minister James Merlino said since the program started, teach-

THE federal opposition’s spokesman for infrastructure, transport, cities and regional development, Anthony “Albo” Albanese, will get the lowdown on Frankston as guest speaker at a lunch at the McClelland Gallery on Tuesday 31 July.

Mr Albanese will address members and guests of the Committee for Greater Frankston, including Frankston and Mornington Peninsula local government representatives, and will cover his recently announced City Partnerships program, which he said would foster “genuine collaboration between the three levels of government” to tackle urban growth.

Committee CEO Ginevra Hosking said Mr Albanese would be asked how a Labor federal government would assist decision-makers deal with “hot issues, including access to jobs, nurturing successful competitive industry sectors in health and advanced manufacturing, extending the metropolitan train line, and improving car parking”.

“This is the 2nd time in quick succession that I have dealt with Shae Trewin to let properties for me in Mt Martha. On both occasions she was extremely quick and easy to work with and found quality tenants at the requested rental rates in each case. The method of communication and easy electronic signing of tenancy agreements enabled this to be easily achieved remotely, which suited my busy lifestyle and not living locally to the properties. Overall, a very professional approach with great outcomes. Thanks Shae.

Gas plan going against earlier Labor policies Instead of enjoying the calm unpolluted waters of Western Port next summer, I fear I could be swimming among highly chlorinated and polluted seawater. That’s if the state government approves an AGL proposal to build a mammoth floating gas terminal at Crib Point (“Libs ‘united’ against AGL gas plan” The News 17/7/18).

The proposed AGL floating gas terminal at Crib Point could have massive ramifications for all users of Western Port and does not consider all long-term environmental effects.

Western Port is a unique ecosystem recognised for its biodiversity and natural amenity; it has various legislated and international protections recognising its diverse range of migratory birds and millions of sea creatures.

In past election campaigns, previous Australian Labor Party candidates and representatives for the Western Port and Mornington Peninsula regions have made public promises to conserve Western Port.

How then can the current state Labor government be working in apparent collaboration with AGL to approve a large-scale floating gas plant in Western Port at Crib Point and its associated pipeline?

Burning brown coal and transporting it by ship and trucks is no way to lower my energy bill, carbon emissions, or achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

Jenni Bolton, Balnarring Beach

Leash-free confusion The signs at Mt Martha North Beach regarding dogs on leash have changed over the years, however the sign at the top of the Augusta Street path is still correct, although overly complicated (“Signs come and go to control dogs at threatened beach” The News 10/7/18).

The 80 metres of sand at the foot of the path is not leash free - that area starts around the rocky point to the north and comprises Hawker Beach.

For many years the signs have been placed in the wrong positions, and have given an incorrect indication of the leash free area.

Mt Martha North Beach has become very popular, and almost crowded on summer beach days. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s rangers visited often last summer in an attempt to inform the public of the dog policy (a valiant effort considering the ambiguity of sign placement on the beach and complicated wording of the cliff top signs).

There is a reason the shire has defined dog access beaches. I am a dog owner and I know that dogs love the beach; but I also know that most people do not enjoy dogs romping through their picnic, racing past their toddlers in the shallows or the threat of dog bite - I witnessed two here last January. It is reasonable to expect owners to take their dog to a designated dog friendly beach, or to leave their dog at home.

If the shire used easy to understand signs, and considered the correct location of the signs, the ranger’s work would be nearly done.

Philippa Holliday, Mt Martha Editor: Mornington Peninsula Shire has not answered directly when asked several times by The News if the Leash-Free signs were repeatedly placed incorrectly near the access steps to the beach in question. The shire has also failed to nominate any similar-sized beach that has received so much attention from shire rangers (40 visits over summer).

Planning protection Bravo Mornington Peninsula Shire for increasing minimum block size (“Planning doubts hit property prices” The News 17/7/18). Houses near us have been shoehorned onto blocks giving them no backyards, no side access, no gardens, trees, a bloke’s shed, or space for children and dogs to play outside.

And may the shire also protect from development precious agricultural and horticultural lands - part of Melbourne’s food bowl - around Boneo, Somerville, Red Hill and elsewhere on the peninsula.

These provide employment as well as fresh produce. These lands are our lungs.

Fran Henke, Hastings

Not a suburb I think Mornington Peninsula She Council should be congratulated for its efforts to protect the amenity of our peninsula by drafting a more sustainable housing settlement strategy. No one wants to see the peninsula turned into a horrible suburb of Melbourne, which is the state governments plan.

The great outcry by the carpetbaggers, developers and real estate businesses, just shows how uninterested these groups are in preserving the amenity of our peninsula (“Planning doubts hit property prices” The News 17/7/18).

Peninsula house prices have gone up and down in lockstep with other parts of Victoria and, on the whole, are more stable, when excluding pure holiday homes.

I really hope [planning] minister [Richard] Wynne will approve the shire’s new settlement strategy so the developers get to unknot their underwear.

Also, it seems the R E Ross Trust has lost its way in trying to quarry Arthurs Seat in its latest attempt to make some money out of its long abandoned quarry in Dromana (“Pressure builds against quarry expansion” The News 17/7/18).

The trust’s main aim is to help protect and improve the environment. I don’t think restarting quarrying at this long abandoned site is a way to achieve this. And I must say the state government and the support of some minor Liberal MPs against local government wishes smacks of good old mates and school tie network.

It is astounding how the environment is always treated second best when it comes to the crunch.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Shire’s lost power Only a few years ago the R E Ross Trust (Hillview Quarries) was seeking to utilise its dormant quarry in Boundary Road, Dromana as a landfill site. This was prevented from occurring by community action and EPA Victoria.

Fast forward to 2017, and with the infrastructure boom there is a sudden imperative to open up rock reserves close to Melbourne (“Pressure builds against quarry expansion” The News 17/7/18).

My concern is that due to a boom-bust cycle with little strategic planning particularly at state level to identify suitable rock reserves in suitable locations, we on the Mornington Peninsula are being asked to think of the “big picture” and accept a second large quarry within the highly visible and iconic Arthurs Seat escarpment adjacent to a state park.

A mature discussion needs to be had on what is important, not just for now but for future generations.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council unfortunately has had its power as the responsible planning authority taken away by the Planning Minister [Richard Wynne].

Simon Brooks, councillor Seawinds Ward

Park garbage tip One year ago, I went along to a smoking ceremony at the Aboriginal Willum Warrain Community Gardens in Pound Road, Hastings. After the ceremony I walked around the Warringine Park bushland and could not believe my eyes when I saw dumped rubbish at the entrance, in the ditches inside the bushland, including overgrown weeds and broken fences alongside Olivia Way. The Mornington Peninsula Shire, EPA Victoria, Flinders MP Greg Hunt MP (former environment minister), the sate environment minister, and The Greens MPs Greg Barber and Robert De Natale were immediately notified by me by letter.

Warringine Park was declared a conservation park in 2012 by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

One year on and an information session took place inside the council offices with planning officer Alan Cowley to talk about protecting the “Green Wedge for future generations” followed by another visit to the bushland the next day,

AFTER an enjoyable visit to Hastings letter writer Frederick Crump was dismayed to see the amount of rubbish dumped in the Mornington Peninsula Shire-managed Warringine Park. Picture: Ebony Elise

Wednesday 11 July.

Mr Cowley said this was a state government issue. The state government said the land was nothing to do with them and was federal business, planned for ADF Housing, Greg Hunt said it was State Government and not Federal. The Greens and the EPA were nowhere to be seen, and angry local residents who live alongside the bushland in Olivia Way have said they are sick of Warringine Park being a dumping ground.

It appears to me and others that nobody in the government departments care who is responsible for the enhancement of this sacred bushland, especially the shire.

Frederick Crump, Mornington

It’s time for Coalition One of the benefits and beauties of our Australian election systems is the ability of the electorate to change its governments from time to time.

There are several advantages in this. An important one being that we keep them aware that if the do not perform, we will give them time on the opposition benches to regroup, rethink their policies and to reflect on their wayward ways.

The current [federal] Coalition government is in need of such a time. Its extreme reluctance into allowing a royal commission into the banks; the shame it and the banks should be feeling over the practices seen as normal business in the last several years.

The additional shame over the banks’ insurance policies towards Aboriginal children.

The Coalition-planned tax cuts to these banks is further evidence that they are out of touch with local and world economics. Their plans to cut the taxes to big business - many of which are paying little or no tax now on the basis of “trickle down economics”. This will be done at the expense of our health and education systems.

The Coalition’s inquiry into the trade unions, on the face of it, seems to be have been an attempt to discredit those organisations and then to move to relocate superannuation funds into the hands of these banks.

Now there is evidence emerging of some unusual practices in the private medical health funds, giving lucrative bonuses to their staff while seeking and obtaining Coalition approval of above cost of living rises in their premiums.

No hint of an inquiry by the Coalition.

Need more be said? Their management of

our money, our money, is in need of a serious rethink. Time on the opposition and back benches is a great place for doing that.

Ken Norris, McCrae

Reopen the line I also support re-opening the Baxter to Mornington train line. I cannot understand why they even stopped it.

I have taken up a petition for the state government to re-establish the rail connection between Baxter and Mornington.

I have seen so many peoples’ comments wanting the train and the petition can be signed in Baxter at the newsagency and post office and in Mornington at The Boyz 4 Breakie, newsagency and cinema.

Christine Matthews, Baxter Editor: The state Opposition and federal Liberal government last week announced financial backing to electrify the rail line from Frankston to Baxter, but made no mention of reopening the line to Mornington.

No sport in gambling Across the state this weekend, elite and community AFL clubs are putting aside traditional rivalries to unite in our love of everything that makes footy great.

Things like skill, talent, loyalty and fun, competition, team spirit, MVPs and extraordinary or memorable moments.

Seventy-five per cent of teenagers today believe that gambling is a normal part of sport, which is not surprising, given the huge volume of sports betting advertising. But the promotional hype doesn’t acknowledge there are risks and harms associated with gambling.

We as a community need to do that, which is why all 10 Victorian AFL clubs and more than 300 community clubs have signed up to the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation’s sporting club program.

This weekend is an ideal time for families to attend a local match and for adults to remind the kids in their care that sport and betting don’t have to go together. Whether a player or a fan, it’s about loving the game, not the odds.

Five common tax time mistakes THE Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has profiled the five most common mistakes and the personalities most likely to have tax time troubles.

Assistant commissioner Kath Anderson said it is often simple mistakes and misunderstandings that trip people up. “While we know most people want to get it right, our audits and reviews show that there are five main areas where taxpayers are most likely to get it wrong,” Ms Anderson said.

The top five mistakes include taxpayers who are: n Leaving out some of their income – maybe forgetting a temp job or money earned from the sharing economy. n Claiming deductions for personal expenses – home to work travel, normal clothes or personal phone calls. n Forgetting to keep receipts or records of their expenses. n Claiming for something they never paid for – often because they think everyone is entitled to a “standard deduction”. n Claiming personal expenses for rental properties – either deductions for times when they are using their property themselves or interest on loans used to buy personal assets like a car or boat.

Ms Anderson says many of the mistakes are avoidable and there are a few things taxpayers can do to make sure their tax time experience is stress-free.

“There are three golden rules for work-related expenses. You must have spent the money yourself and not have been reimbursed, it must be directly related to earning your income, and you must have a record to prove it,” Ms Anderson

said.

“This tax time we will be paying close attention to claims for private expenses like home to work travel, plain clothes, and private phone calls. We will also be paying attention to people who are claiming standard deductions for expenses they never paid for."

Ms Anderson said tax “can sometimes be tricky, but it’s not tricky to keep good records”.

“Around half of the adjustments we make are because the taxpayer had no records, or they were poor quality. Yet it’s so easy to keep your records, using the myDeductions tool in the ATO app. Just take a photo, record a few details and then at the end of the year upload the information to your agent or to myTax.” Another tip is to include all your income.

“A temp job, cash jobs, capital gains on cryptocurrency, or money earned from the sharing economy is all income that must be declared. We are constantly improving our data matching tools and even a one-off payment may be enough to raise a red flag,” Ms Anderson said.

“We know some people lodge early because they want their refund, and that’s fair enough.

But we amend returns for thousands of taxpayers that leave out some of their income. This can delay your refund or even see you owing money to the ATO. If you wait until mid-August, we will have pre-filled most of your income information for you, to help you get it right to start with.”

Pre-fill is available whether you choose to lodge online with myTax, or with a registered tax agent.

Ms Anderson warned the ATO has its sights on “those intending to push the boundaries, or perhaps fudge some parts of their return”.

Falling In Love Again JENNIFER Ward-Lealand pays tribute to the iconic actress and singer Marlene Dietrich, in Falling in Love Again.

Devised in collaboration with musical director and pianist Grant Winterburn, Falling in Love Again recreates iconic moments of performance from one of the greatest screen legends of the twentieth century. Showcasing highlights from Dietrich’s films, concerts and recordings, Jennifer will perform a program including classic songs by Cole Porter, Pete Seeger, Frederic Hollander and Edith Piaf.

Beautifully lit by lighting designer Andrew Malmo and featuring an exquisite recreation of one of Dietrich’s famous gowns and fur coat, this acclaimed show vividly captures the style and glamour of Hollywood’s golden age.

A star in her native New Zealand for over 35

years, Jennifer’s award-winning career spans film, television and stage as an actor, singer, director and industry pioneer. The current president of Equity New Zealand, Jennifer is a respected patron to a number of arts organisations including The Auckland Performing Arts Centre.

Tour presenter Andrew McKinnon is proud to be introducing Jennifer to Australian audiences.

“Through my frequent trips to New Zealand, I became aware of Jennifer Ward-Lealand’s immense talent. She truly is a world-class performer, and I believe would be much better known in Australia if the huge demand for her at home didn’t prevent her touring more” Falling in Love Again, FAC Theatre, Thursday 2 August, 7.30pm. Bookings: 03 9784 1060 or thefac.com.au

*** AT the annual meeting of the Frankston branch of the Red Cross society, the following letter, accompanied by a cheque for £5, was received The cheque was received with thanks, and a vote of thanks passed to Mrs Lewis for her good work on behalf of the society : Dear Madam President and Ladies of the Red Cress Branch, Frankston, Although I do not.often have the pleasure of being at your meetings, I thought I would like to call in this afternoon to express my admiration for your untiring efforts on behalf of our beloved soldiers, and also to offer to you the enclosed cheque for £5 for the funds.

The money is the result of my labor at the needle, and you will be pleased to know came from another State.

Trusting the war will soon be over and that you will all be spared for many, many happy years to work for the comfort of our returned men. *** THE death of one of the oldest residents of the Peninsula took place at her daughter’s residence on Monday evening last, when Mrs Lewis passed peacefully away. The late Mrs Lewis was born in Barking, England, in 1821, accompanied by her late husband, who predeceased her some twenty six years ago, she came to Victoria in a sailing vessel called the Roxburgh Castle over sixty years ago. Within six months of arriving in Victoria the late Mrs Lewis came to the Peninsula where she had resided ever since. In the early early days they were association with the firm of Cro Ritchie and Co. Deceased, leav-

ing one daughter (Mrs R Davies) and one son to mourn her loss. Her other son B. A. Lewis, died some two years ago. The Rev Watts officiated at the graveside and the funeral arrangements left in the hands of Mr Gamble.

The sympathy of all go to bereaved relatives. *** HORSE, Wagon (light express, Engforecarriage) and Harness, wagon nearly new, whole turnout £25, Shaw, Hastings Road, Pearcedale, via Somerville. *** POISON laid in all my paddocks farm this day. W. Firth; Somerville. *** WANTED to buy - Piano, for cash, no humbug. State make and price, at once - J. Smythe, Frankston. *** SOMERVILLE branch half yearly report. The Hon. secretary of the Somerville branch of the Red Cross Society has submitted the following report.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to report that during the past half year we have despatched to the Federal depot 715 articles, consisting of under flannels, socks, mittens, aviator’s caps, balaclavas, bed screens, pyjamas, scarves and washers.

We have held one ‘At Home’ and Sale of Gifts, and two concerts, and in spite of similar entertainments held at Frankston the same night we cleared £11 14s 6d on our first concert, and £11 1s on the second. With the proceeds of these two concerts and donations, we sent to the Prisoners of War fund £31 5s 6d. We sold 31 House Badges, and 198 raffle tickets

for the Welcome Home committee, Port Melbourne.

We have received the, following donations for our local branch : Mr Horsfall 10s 6d, Mrs Horsfall 5s, Mr Geo Shepherd senr. £1 1s; Mr Barber £1 1s; Protestant Federation meeting half proceeds 15s ; half proceeds sale of flowers, Captain Gates, 15s; half share Show prize money, Major Conder, 10s; half proceeds Girls’ Concert, £.3 17s 10d ; Miss Barber (carving cloth) 7s 6d.

Our members have visited the Langwarrin Hospital to cheer the boys who have fought for us, and taken gifts of sweets and cigarettes.

We have also visited the Caulfield Hospital, and were entertained by our member, Mrs White.

The increase of correspondence has been considerable during the past six months and 1,322 envelopes have been used for notices, receipts and correspondence, showing the amount of clerical work done. With the assistance of the residents of the district we have entertained the returned wounded on two occasions, so I think all will agree with me that a strenuous half year has had a good result.

Our official collector, Mrs Barber, is doing good work for the French Red Cross appeal, and good donations are coming in. We also have a beautiful booklet “Women of our Empire” in aid of the Red Cross. “A tribute” by Nurse Primrose. No patriotic woman can afford not to have one of these beautiful books. They are 1s each.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Philosophical Meaning of DJ Jazzy Jeff

By Stuart McCullough SOME things cannot be explained.

Some things, perhaps, should not be explained even if it’s possible to do so. As I sat with my nephew and niece playing a card game called ‘War’ that, much like actual war, seemed to be taking forever and was having a lasting impact on my morale, I had stumbled across a nineties hip hop classic. As I dropped a card to the table that allowed me to take the card of my opponent, I uttered the words ‘Boom, shake, shake, shake the room’ as though they actually meant something. My nephew and niece looked at me as though I’d just thrown a bucket full of crazy. It got me thinking: how do I explain this?

It’s harder than it sounds. For those who grew up with them, the words ‘DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince’ need no explanation. In their own way, they make complete and perfect sense. However, to someone from another generation, it’s impossible to convey why this expression is more than mere gibberish. Indeed, even as the words crow-barred their way over my lips and made for bushes to hide, I could tell my audience was becoming increasingly incredulous if not downright skeptical.

The nineties were kind of tricky.

There was so much more to the decade than grunge music and its uniform of flannel shirts with its steady diet of misery and general moaning about life; or Britpop with its fey stars who wore suits and looked like the world’s funkiest bank tellers. It was an era of profligate boy and girl bands

spawned by evil Svengali-type figures that lured teenagers into recording studios with promises of fame and fortune of which they delivered on the former but kept the latter for themselves. And rap music was bigger than it’d ever been. Especially in the charts.

It was the decade of ‘U Can’t Touch This’ by MC Hammer – a tune that

relied heavily on ‘Super Freak’ by Rick James but with all the rude bits taken out, as well as Hammer’s own voluminous Hammer pants. It was also the decade of Vanilla Ice (known to his Mum as Robbie van Winkle), who made an entire song out about four bars of a tune by Queen and David Bowie. This kind of repurposing was the very basis for rap

music, but it became a whole lot more complicated once the enterprise got commercial. As for DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, they used a sample of the song ‘Funky Worm’ by the Ohio Players for their masterpiece.

Not that you could tell. It turned something not many people knew into a rap colossus.

The Fresh Prince was, in fact, Will Smith; who would go on to star in a tonne of blockbuster movies. DJ Jazzy Jeff was, in fact, Jeff Townes who, for all anyone knows, went on to work at a Blockbuster video store.

But they were a team – a DJ responsible for the beats and a rapper. This was back when rappers and DJs were kind of a package deal: ‘Grandmaster Flash and Furious Five’, ‘Grand Wizzard Theodore and the Fantastic Five’ and the immortal ‘Enid Blyton and the Famous Five’ to name but a few legendary groups. DJs and rappers went together like peas and carrots.

More to the point, the DJ’s name always came first. Not that they all had fabulous names – ‘Eric B. and Rakim’ is as about as an ordinary a name as you can get, even though ‘Paid In Full’ is a stone-cold rap classic.

The DJ was responsible for the beat. In the beginning, this was done by using turntables to create a continuous break beat by flipping from one to the other and manipulating the records to generate a rhythm. It was the ultimate in ‘Do It Yourself’ music.

The MC (or, if you prefer, Master of Ceremonies) would then rap over the top. They used what they had to make their own kind of music and, in

the process, invented an entirely new art form. But just as those limitations resulted in innovation, changes to technology have meant that those skills are no longer as necessary as they once were.

Somewhere along the line, things changed. The DJ disappeared to be replaced by faceless producers. Even if you do know who the producer is, his or her name is not going to be first. Sure, you’ve got your Calvin Harris and David Guetta types, but neither of those jokers is yet to produce anything that could hold a candle to something like ‘Boom!

Shake the Room’. They probably never will. Just because you wear a pair of headphones doesn’t mean that you know your way around the wheels of steel.

My niece and nephew were looking at me, confusion writ large across their faces. Foolishly, I thought that reciting the lyrics might help. I invited them to tell their mother that they never wrote a whack jam but it only seemed to make things worse.

It’s impossible to explain the meaning of DJ Jazzy Jeff to a generation that considers Ed Sheeran to be a musical genius and not, as I do, the aural equivalent of IKEA. I thought for a moment about trying to make my point by putting down some cardboard and spinning around in a circle but feared that I may do myself an injury. Instead, I put down my cards and surrendered. The game continued without me. It seems the (break) beat continues, even without DJ Jazzy Jeff. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

MORNINGTON NEWS

Stonecats snap winless streak DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn FRANKSTON YCW have finally broken their run of seven games without a win by defeating EdithvaleAspendale in a dominant display.

The Stonecats’ last win came over two months ago on 5 May against Mornington in a victory that solidified their spot on top of the ladder. Since that game they have slumped to sixth place and now face a real danger of missing out on finals.

Their clash at home against Edi-Asp on Saturday was an absolute must win, but things got off to a shaky start. EdiAsp went into the first break in front by two goals, and the Stonecats were left pondering just when their luck would turn.

Luckily for the Stonecats, they would have a much better second term, holding Edi-Asp to just one behind and kicking away to a 13 point lead. The game remained fairly even in the third quarter, and although the Stonecats went into the final term with a 24 point lead, the contest was far from over.

In the final quarter though, Frankston YCW announced that they were back in the most convincing way possible, hammering home eight goals to EdiAsp’s one to run away with an easy victory and send alarm bells ringing throughout the rest of the league.

Division One’s sleeping giant finally awoke as the Stonecats claimed a comprehensive win over second placed Edithvale-Aspendale 17.18 (110) to 6.6 (42).

Eyes on the prize: Frankston YCW finally broke their losing streak by beating Edithvale-Aspendale. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Kyle Hutchinson was the best player on the ground, booting four goals for the winning Stonecats.

At David Macfarlane Reserve, Sorrento played host to both Mornington and a number of high profile AFL stars as they held their ‘Purple Shark Day’ in support of the Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision charity.

Richmond premiership players Jack

Riewoldt and Daniel Rioli were joined by former St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt and former Coleman Medallist Brendan Fevola at David Macfarlane Reserve, where they signed autographs and took photos with fans before the start of the game.

The bumper crowd certainly was treated to a thrilling game as well, as Sorrento and Mornington battled it

out in what would be one of the best games of the year.

Mornington started out on the right foot over their highly fancied Sorrento opponents, making the most of their limited opportunities and heading into the first break with a three point lead.

Sorrento fought back in the second term to wrestle back the lead, but could only establish a three point buffer at the main break despite outnumbering the Bulldogs by eight scoring shots.

After the half time break, Mornington came out determined to make Sorrento pay for their sloppiness in front of goal, as they kicked four goals straight to go into the final term with a narrow one point advantage.

Although it looked as if one of the season’s most shocking upsets was on the cards, the Sharks showed the quality that made them the team to beat this season, and fought back to claim a nail biting come from behind win 10.17 (77) to 12.3 (75).

Mitch Hallahan continued his stellar run of form with another best on ground display for Sorrento, while Shannon Gladman also contributed handily to the win with three goals.

At Bonbeach Recreation reserve, Mt Eliza travelled to take on Bonbeach as they looked to close the gap between third and second place.

Mt Eliza were on top for the majority of the game, but no matter how hard the Redlegs tried they couldn’t drive the final nail in the coffin. Mt Eliza led at each break during the game, but

never by more than two points.

Although the contest looked set to go down to the wire in the final term, the Redlegs finally kicked away and established a buffer, holding the Sharks to just one point in the final term to take out a 6.6 (42) to 9.6 (60) win.

Ben Landry and Luca Goonan were among the best on the ground for Mt Eliza, while former Sydney Swan Trent Dennis-Lane was a contributor for Bonbeach with two goals.

The win takes Mt Eliza to within one game of second place Edi-Asp going into the final rounds of the year.

The final game for the round saw Pines host the Frankston Bombers in what would turn out to be a one sided affair.

The goal hungry Pines easily claimed the four points by booting 21 goals in a percentage boosting win that took them to fourth on the ladder.

Pines boast the best percentage in the league by a wide margin, which may come in handy coming into the closing stages of the home and away season.

The game was done and dusted by the quarter time break, as Pines raced out of the gates with a stunning nine goal to one first term which put them out to a 48 point lead.

From there, the Bombers could do nothing to get back into the contest, as they eventually succumbed to Pines 21.11 (137) to 11.13 (78).

Pines boasted 12 individual goal kickers, with Aaron Ludewig and Aaron Edwards the best among them with four and three respectively.

Kangaroos keep touch with finals DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn LANGWARRIN have kept their season alive with a hard fought victory over Hastings at Lloyd Park on Saturday.

Coming off a disappointing thrashing against Dromana last week, Langwarrin needed to grab a win over Hastings to be any hope at all of making the finals.

Helped by the return of some key players from injuries, Langwarrin got things started in the best possible way and took a 21 point lead into the quarter time break.

By the time the half time break rolled along, Langwarrin were still leading, but Hastings were keeping touch thanks to their accuracy in front of goal.

Hastings had converted six goals from six scoring opportunities to keep themselves in contention.

After the main break Hastings continued to kick straight, but just weren’t able to keep up with Langwarrin. As the final siren sounded, Langwarrin claimed all four points with a 13.12 (90) to 11.3 (69) win.

Luke Hewitt booted three goals for the losing side to take his tally to the year to 44, while Jesse Murphy booted three to take his count for the year to 55.

Langwarrin still sit six points behind Hastings in fifth spot, and will have to rely on other results to go their way to sneak into finals over the final four weeks of the season.

At Red Hill Recreation Reserve, Karingal travelled to take on Red Hill in a clash that would see the winner claim

No surrender: Red Hill wouldn’t allow the Bulls to charge, and ran away with a comfortable win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

second spot on the ladder.

Red Hill entered the contest full of confidence, having won seven consecutive games. They were also boosted by the news that they had resigned coach Jamie Mollo through until the end of the 2020 season.

Karingal had been in slightly shaky form, and they started on the wrong foot as Red Hill raced to a 15 point lead at the first break.

In the second quarter the Bulls fought back to close the margin to a goal, but

let themselves down with a goalless third term. Red Hill raced away to a five goal lead by the three-quarter time break, which proved to be insurmountable.

Helped by nine individual goal kickers, Red Hill ran away with a comfortable 11.11 (77) to 5.7 (37) win.

The gap between Red Hill and ladder leaders Dromana was almost closed further by a shock result at Dromana Recreation Reserve, as Tyabb battled hard to nearly steal a stunning win over

the ladder leaders.

Dromana started the clash positively with a three goals to one first quarter, but Tyabb closed the gap to just six points at the half time break.

Dromana were able to stay on top but couldn’t put the brave Tyabb away for good, with the margin standing at only 15 points going into the final quarter.

Although they won the final term and fought hard, the siren eventually sounded with Tyabb just behind, as they fell to Dromana in an 11.19 (85) to 10.14 (74) loss.

Although Dromana claimed all four points, the result will have their upcoming opponents hopeful of knocking off the dominant premiership favourites.

Ben Holmes had another big game for Dromana with a four goal effort, he has now kicked nine in his last two games.

There was another thrilling result at RJ Rowley Reserve, as Rye hosted Devon Meadows in a tight contest.

Despite both sides being effectively ruled out of finals contention, they both played as if it were all on the line in a match that went down to the wire.

The Demons opened up an early lead over the Devon Meadows Panthers, establishing a seven point deficit by the quarter time break and stretching that lead to eight at half time.

Despite leading for most of the day,

Rye couldn’t put the Panthers away, and saw their lead reduced to just four going into the final term.

Spurred on by an impressive five goal performance from star forward Michael Theodoridis, the Panthers finally snatched the lead in the final term and ended the game with their noses just in front, securing a stunning come from behind victory 9.16 (70) to 11.7 (73).

The battle between Pearcedale and Crib Point was also a thrilling one, as the Magpies fell agonisingly short of just their second win of the year.

Although Pearcedale led for the entire afternoon, Crib Point battled hard to stay in touch and give themselves a shot going into the final term.

Despite winning the final quarter, Pearcedale were just too strong for the hard working Magpies, as they claimed a 16.10 (106) to 14.13 (97) win.

Luke Daniel was the match winner for Pearcedale, kicking three goals in a best on ground performance.

The final game of the round saw Chelsea claim an easy win over Somerville in a result that will see Somerville’s slim finals hopes come to an end.

Curtis Bywater continued his stunning year with a five goal haul which takes his tally for the year to 53.

Somerville could only take consolation from an impressive last quarter in which they outscored Chelsea six goals to two, but it wasn’t nearly enough to overcome the massive deficit that had been opened up.

Kilner back at Baxter, Somerville soars SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ROY Kilner is back at Baxter in a lastditch attempt to rescue the club from relegation from State 4 South.

When news broke last week that work commitments had forced Francis Beck to step down as head coach the club turned to former coach Kilner and he has targeted controversial striker Mark Pagliarulo as the man to lead the front line.

‘Pags’ has also attracted interest from Somerville and Skye United but his relationship with Baxter is expected to tip the odds in Kilner’s favour.

‘Pags’ last played in 2017 and has since concentrated on his job as head coach of Bulleen’s NPL under-15s.

If he decides to help Baxter in the most important seven-game run in the local club’s recent history he’ll continue his work with Bulleen’s elite youngsters.

Baxter has away games against Hampton Park United and Harrisfield Hurricanes as well as a home game against Sandringham and winning these games is crucial to its survival.

Kilner’s first game back in charge ended in a 3-1 home loss to Endeavour United last weekend.

Goodness knows how Endeavour striker Michael Rodriguez was left unmarked in the 15th minute and his glancing header over the advancing Beck, deputising for James Foster in goal, gave the visitors a lead they never surrendered.

A sweeping four-player interpassing move in the 28th minute ended with a low header from Ahmad Tabarra which snuck inside the near post to make it 2-0.

Baxter had stood off its opponent for most of the first half but was more aggressive and direct in the second period and a brain fade from Endeavour keeper Franc Marateo in the 52nd minute gave the home side hope.

Marateo dithered on the ball inside his own area long enough to get closed down from Ben Meiklem and tap the ball too far forward allowing Meiklem to round the bemused keeper and stroke the ball into the unguarded goal to make it 2-1.

Baxter’s best chance of an improbable draw fell to wee Alan Lipsett in the 85th minute but he slid in at the far post only to strike Meiklem’s cross from the left well over the bar.

In the first minute of injury time Tabarra’s chip from the right of the area rebounded off the back post to Endeavour substitute Maqsod Mansuri who deftly dummied his opponent before slamming the ball past Beck

from close range.

Meanwhile Somerville Eagles kept their State 5 South title hopes alive with a 3-1 away win over Aspendale last Saturday.

Somerville is in second spot a point behind Lyndale United but the league leader has played one more game and has a bye next weekend.

That gives Somerville the chance to claim top spot but it faces a huge challenge on Saturday at home to thirdplaced Old Mentonians in what looms as a season-defining encounter.

At Jack Grut Reserve last weekend Somerville was missing a host of first teamers but handed a debut to new signing Harry Chapman from Peninsula Strikers with a spot on the bench for the returning Hayden Taylor following a spell at Strikers.

Aspendale started well and Matthew Corra’s smart finish put the home side ahead in the 8th minute.

Somerville responded six minutes later after good work by Chapman got the ball to player-coach Dave Greening who swivelled and from 10 metres out curled a postage-stamp finish into the top corner.

In the 21st minute the visitors hit the front after a long throw by Stephen Curd was inadvertently headed on by a defender and Greening made no mistake for his second.

In the 59th minute Chapman played a sublime through ball to Greening who turned his marker and placed the ball past Aspendale keeper Jack Taylor to complete his hat-trick .

away loss to Moreland City on Saturday and is understood to be the subject of a complaint to FFV from the Lawton Park club.

The first half was all about referee Azcurra.

He issued straight red cards to Langwarrin midfielder Paul Speed and striker Liam Baxter, ignored pleas for a penalty after Langy’s Viktor Medini was pushed in the back inside the area and decided that a horror tackle on Langy captain Boris Ovcin was only worthy of a caution.

Moreland head coach Adrian Mathers gathered the Langy players and coaching staff together after the contest to express his embarrassment at the refereeing display and its impact on the outcome.

Moreland’s scorers were Chris Cristaldo (26th and 53rd minutes), Jordon Lampard (18th), Corey Thomas (55th) and Apai Ukono (61st).

Langy’s goal came from a Luke Burgess header following a corner in the 80th minute.

There was better news for Langwarrin in the curtain raiser with the under20s winning 3-2.

Travis Ernsdoerfer (2) and Zachory Karolidis scored for Langy and 15-year-old central defender Brodie Jones came on for the last 30 minutes.

In State 1 South-East news Mornington lost 2-1 at home to Casey Comets.

Keegan Ziada was at the back post in the 8th minute to finish off Sam Orritt’s cross from the right and put the home side ahead but Comets responded almost immediately with an excellent finish by Dejan Radojicic and the

sides were locked at 1-1 at half-time.

Casey took the lead in the second half with a stunning strike from captain Allando Mathieson in the 56th minute.

He turned Mornington defender Sam Scott inside out and from a tight angle on the right of the box lashed the ball past keeper Liam Little and into the roof of the net.

Orritt and Scott both struck the crossbar as Mornington pressed in the latter stages of the contest but to no avail.

In State 2 South-East news Frankston Pines lost 2-1 away to promotion-chasing Brandon Park on Saturday.

Hamlet Armenian put Brandon Park in front with a shot in the 38th minute after Pines failed to clear following a free-kick but Lewis Potter, CJ Hodgson and Kurt Wagner-Goldsworthy all had chances for the visitors.

Pines had to replace injured defender Franco Vanni at half-time and former Casey Comets midfielder Jesse Martindale made it 2-0 four minutes into the second half with an excellent free-kick from 25 metres.

Hodgson was on the end of an Aaryn Rix cross and finished well in the 55th minute to make it 2-1 and Pines’ best chance of an equaliser fell to Rix in a one-on-one with Brandon Park keeper Peter Koundanis but the Pines’ winger lobbed the ball over both the keeper and the bar.

Peninsula Strikers drew 1-1 with Berwick City at Jack Thomas Reserve on Saturday.

Berwick took the lead in the 40th minute when David Di Iorio was the

benefactor of an error from Strikers’ keeper Dylan Mery but classy English striker John Prescott equalised in the 65th minute when he cut in from the left and slotted the ball past Berwick keeper Christian Morales.

In State 3 South-East news Skye United fell to relegation-threatened Noble Park United 2-1 on Saturday in the local club’s inaugural Chris Attard memorial round.

The day commemorated the former club president and ex-FFV Chief Financial Officer who died in 2016 and the turnout reflected his impact on Skye and the respect the Attard family has engendered.

But things went awry out on the pitch as Noble Park’s new signing Matty Durand scored in the 20th and 26th minutes.

Daniel Attard gave the home team a lifeline in the 64th minute when he finished well from close range however Skye’s slow start to the match ended up proving costly.

The Chris Attard medallists in the senior match were Daniel Attard and Noble Park United’s Kegham Aminian.

Skye’s reserves won 5-3 and the Chris Attard medallist was Luke Camerota who notched a first-half hattrick.

On Sunday Skye announced that teenage senior women’s player Laa Chol had been killed at a party in the Melbourne CBD in the early hours of Saturday morning.

A Victoria Police investigation into the incident continues.

In NPLW news Southern United’s under-12s won 1-0 away to Alamein on Sunday with Rhiannon Kelleher nabbing the winner.

The under-14s skipped three points clear at the top of the table with a Macey Butler goal giving them a 1-0 win while the under-16s lost 4-2 with Monique Lapenta and Haylea Porter scoring for Southern.

Next weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Whittlesea Ranges v Langwarrin (Epping Stadium), South Springvale v Mornington (Warner Reserve), Frankston Pines v Knox City (Monterey Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Mooroolbark (Centenary Park), Seaford Utd v Skye Utd (North Seaford Reserve), Hampton Park Utd v Baxter (K.M.

Self Sense continues to excite over jumps

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based racehorse trainer David Brideoake topped off the jumps racing season with another dominant performance from his first-season jumper Self Sense on Sunday 8 July.

The seven-year-old son of Street Sense has taken all before him in his opening jumps season, moving from a 10-length maiden hurdle romp to breaking the $1 million barrier with a comfortable victory in the Kevin Lafferty Hurdle at Warrnambool, last start.

Connections were hoping the exciting flat and hurdle performer could add another jumps feature win to his resume and after a six-length demolition of the Australian Hurdle five weeks prior, Self Sense did just that.

Under the hands of rising jockey Clayton Douglas, Self Sense kicked away for an effortless victory over some of the top hurdlers in the country, and provided Douglas with an unsurprising excitement for the future.

“He’s a beauty,” Douglas said.

“I’m just thankful that I’ve got a horse like him.”

“He just sort of plays with them a little bit, and he has a good look around and does what he has to.”

Self Sense is likely to continue to mix his flat racing with jumps racing and return to the flat next start before being targeted towards next month’s Grand National Hurdle (3900m), according to stable representative Alex Woodhams.

“We might head back to the flat in a few weeks for a VOBIS Gold staying race at Caulfield and then eight days after that into the National,” he said following Self Sense’s dominant Kevin Lafferty Hurdle victory.

“As long as he comes through this well that could be the plan that David may look at following.”

Mitchell ready to strike back PENINSULA boxer Jayde Mitchell isn’t going to let another injury stand in his way of a world title.

Having overcome a recent neck surgery to take out his last fight against Ariel Alejandro Zampedri on Saturday 17 March, and jump into the top 10 world rankings, Mitchell is hoping he can do the same again after suffering an injury to his shoulder.

Mitchell has had several weeks off to rest and recover from his injury through over-use but gets back into sparring this week.

The Blairgowrie boxer was forced to bypass his match-up against Kerry Foley on Saturday 7 July but has re-scheduled the fight to take place on Friday 7 September at The Melbourne Pavillion.

Mitchell is confident he can bring up another return victory but is still expecting the very best from a “very tough opponent”.

“He’s got the power in either hand to potentially knock me out,” he said.

“He’s been a professional for about 12 years and he’s always had awesome potential to go further, so it will definitely be a hard fight.”

Mitchell said he is stoked to have “finally landed a big fight” after several potential fights continually falling through in the build up to his fight with Foley.

“While Kerry Foley wasn’t on our radar, after his most recent outing and a first round KO, he called me out! As Vijender’s (Singh) team have ducked us for an easier option this is something I won’t do,” he said on social media.

It could potentially become a Peninsula-heavy card, with the likes of Kane Watts, Jai Alexander, Lochie Higgins and Jason Whateley all looking to take up fights on the night.

Westminster grasps national sailing title

By Harry Fisher ADELAIDE’S Westminster School capped off an eventful four-year team journey to take out its first Australian Schools Team Sailing Championship on Sunday 15 July at the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron.

The four-day regatta came to an exciting finish, especially for the hundreds of spectators on the Blairgowrie pier, as the top eight teams took to the water in strong winds and sloppy seas in order to decide the champions.

The same three skippers from Westminster, made up of Alex Higgins,

Matt Meaney and Angus Higgins, have fallen just short of the national title on a couple of occasions but changed their luck with an emphatic victory in the best of five grand final.

They met the renowned Scotch College team with the overall result decided in just four races, with Westminster claiming it 3-1.

Brighton Grammar School was the surprise packet of the finals.

Scraping into eighth position after the Swiss league, Brighton Grammar School went on to make the semifinals only to fall short to the eventual champions in Westminster.

They then raced off against the Friends School from Tasmania in the petit final that would decide third place and fell just short again, however the local fans were still proud of Brighton, as they finished as the first placed Victorian team.

Hobart’s Fahan School clinched an emphatic victory in the all-female final, winning the best of three sail-off against Sydney’s Ascham to clinch the school’s first girls championship.

At the conclusion of the Swiss league round-robin, the Friends School from Tasmania sat on top of the table in the outright lead,

and worked hard to make their way through a couple of hurdles, but ended up bowing out in the semis to the eventual runners up, Scotch College.

Their cross-town rivals, Hutchins School, had similar issues and bowed out of the finals in straight sets after coming into the finals with a double chance in fourth place.

When racing wrapped up, celebrations were had on the shore as coaches and sailors alike were dragged into the freezing Blairgowrie waters.

More than 300 people packed the club’s main function room to crown

the champions and extend invitations to the inter-dominion team sailing championship in New Zealand later this year.

The Australian Team Sailing Association also recognised some individual performances of sportsmanship through the umpire’s awards which were well received with some great storytelling by chief umpire Simon Irving.

Next year’s national event heads to Hobart at the Sandy Bay Sailing Club.

Wheelchair tennis talent compete internationally

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON Peninsula’s wheelchair tennis talent took it to the world stage with a dominant victory in the World Team Cup on Sunday 3 June.

Wheelchair tennis players, Riley Dumsday and Heath Davidson, competed in the BNP Paribas World Team Cup in the Netherlands, with the latter combining with four-time Australian Open champion Dylan Alcott, to claim their second quad title in three years.

Davidson, of Rosebud, dropped the opening singles rubber to Israel’s Noam Gershony in the final but the top seeds quickly proved their status as Alcott levelled the tie with a convincing 6-0 6-0 win over Patrick Ben Uriel (ISR).

The Rio 2016 Paralympic gold medallists eventually claimed the quad title with a 6-3 6-1 victory in the deciding doubles rubber.

Davidson said he was fairly confident in the pair’s ability heading into the doubles final.

“I play my best tennis with this guy (Dylan),” he said.

“Even though I didn’t get the job done in my singles, I was confident in Dylan and I for the doubles.”

Australia’s junior team also managed to secure fourth place after reaching the semi-finals, with 13-year-old Riley Dumsday, of Mornington, getting the call-up for the national squad.

It was Riley’s first time competing internationally and with the support of some of the more experienced

players, he put in a top performance to compete against players up to five years older than him.

Riley wasn’t able to secure a win in his singles but bought up a couple of victories in his doubles matches.

Riley’s father, Steve Dumsday, said that the experience was great for Riley with some of the more experienced players also offering some advice to help him in the future.

The budding talent then backed up his results from overseas with a victory in the Queensland Wheelchair Tennis Open singles final on Tuesday 3 July.

Riley defeated his World Team Cup teammate, Finn Broadbent, in the final 6-4 6-2, before finishing runnersup in the doubles.
