‘Conti’ in new hands – again

Doing the hard yards

SORRENTO’S Bruce Grey is on a mission: to lead a team in next month’s Tough Mudder Challenge and raise money to ease the plight of women – and especially girls – in less developed countries. Training with his grandson Rupeni Drodrolagiis at Rosebud, Mr Grey, 70, is hoping to raise $10,000 for a good cause. See story Page 3. Picture: Yanni

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A “LOCAL private developer” has bought Sorrento’s heritage-listed Continental Hotel after a two-month sales campaign by Colliers International. Vendor Julian Gerner on Friday would not disclose the buyer’s name or the price, which is tipped to be about $22 million. The sale of the four-storey limestone building at 1-21 Ocean Beach Road includes an adjoining former public car park at 23 Constitution Hill Road. Colliers International’s Guy Wells said the sale was a “significant win for both the much-loved hotel and the wider community, as the purchaser has committed capital and the ability to bring this iconic asset back to life through an extensive redevelopment”. He said the purchaser planned to “recommence works on the existing redevelopment as soon as possible”. Sorrento locals had feared the derelict icon in its half-finished state could be lost to the stormy winter weather – a concern repeatedly raised at a 400-strong public meeting at which Mr Gerner announced his intention to put the 1875 building on the market. (Turnout proves ‘Conti’ dear to Sorrento’s heart The News 8/7/19).

Mr Gerner – who is in Broome on holidays with his family – said the new owners had “more than three decades of experience in construction and development [and were] perfectly placed to pick up where construction left off”. “While the purchaser wishes to remain private and details of the sale are confidential, [they] have committed to deliver the vision as promised,” he said. “I continue to work closely with Mornington Peninsula Shire, Heritage Victoria and the heritage architect to ensure all obligations are met and the site is maintained appropriately during the settlement period.” Mr Wells said the sales campaign had “received strong interest from a wide variety of owner operators, developers and investors, with the successful purchaser a local private developer who plans to recommence works on the existing redevelopment as soon as possible”. “The purchaser will engage with stakeholders and ensure the development is in line with heritage and existing planning guidelines,” he said. “The sale is a significant win for both the much-loved Continental Hotel and the wider community, as the purchaser has committed capital and the ability to bring this iconic asset back to life through an extensive redevelopment.”

Dogs seized after alpacas mauled Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Treasured memories: Sharon Richardson, right, with her alpacas Lui and Juno before they were killed by a roaming dog. Pictures: Supplied

TWO dogs seized over the mauling and killing of two pet alpacas at Fingal last week will have their fate decided by a magistrates’ court. Mornington Peninsula Shire’s environment protection manager John Rankine said investigations were continuing into the incident Sunday 1 September when a “pit bull terrier or bull terrier dog” was seen mauling the alpacas at a Harmony Road property. “Officers are busy with the investigation collating evidence for prosecution in court,” Mr Rankine said. “The decision about euthanasia is pending on this evidence and the court decision. Until such time the dogs will remain impounded.” Two shire rangers called to the property found the loved pets so badly injured that they had to be put down. The rangers drove around looking for the most aggressive of the dogs which was seen heading towards Moonah Links golf course. Owners of the pet alpacas Sharon Richardson, who runs Harmony B&B in Placadena Road with her husband Jeremy, said she heard knocking at her kitchen door in the afternoon and opened it to find her distraught neighbour coming to report the shocking news. “My neighbour heard squealing and

raced over to see a large Staffie-type dog attacking our alpacas,” she said. “He gathered stones from our pond to ward off the dog but it left off the alpacas and came after him. He had to jump the fence to get away from it.” Ms Richardson said she raced to the yard to find both alpacas in agony, one with the “side of its face ripped off” and the other with its bottom jaw savaged. The offending dog had run off towards properties backing onto Moonah Links Golf Course. A vet from Main Ridge came quickly but could do nothing to save the animals, which had to be put down. “They were beautiful family pets,” Ms Richardson said of Lui and Juno. “We have had them since they were babies and they were a huge part of our

life here at the B&B. “They were not just left to roam out in the paddock. They were a huge part of the experience here with the guests enjoying their company.” Ms Richardson said she has “serious concerns” about the dog attacking again – particularly children. “I didn’t see the dog, but I am told it is a large tan Staffie-type with a white chest and a big collar. It was roaming with a smaller dog.” Ms Richardson said she “feels so empty” after her loss. “First thing every morning I’d go down to the gate and [Lui and Juno] would be waiting for me and I’d give them some hay,” she said. “Now there’s no one waiting for me because of that bastard dog.”

Hard yards for a vital cause Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CONCERNS about the plight of women – and especially girls – in less developed countries has prompted Sorrento resident Bruce Grey to once again get out of his comfort zone and challenge his physical capabilities. At 70 years old, the retired air force chaplain is leading a team in next month’s Tough Mudder Challenge – an event in which Mr Grey competed in each of the past two years when he was a spritely 68 and 69 years old. The famed endurance event being held at Lardner Park in Gippsland 19-20 October is contested by teams which raise money for worthwhile causes. The daunting 16-19km obstacle course plays on the need to overcome common human fears

– such as fire, water, electricity and heights. The first Tough Mudder was held in the US in 2010 and, since then, they have attracted millions of competitors. The money Mr Grey’s team raises – he is aiming for $10,000 – will go to a cause dear to his heart: CARE. The international humanitarian aid organisation fights global poverty with a special focus on assisting poor and marginalised women and girls and to bring beneficial change to their communities. Mr Grey’s fundraising efforts began during a discussion over a deeply moving book between himself and another officer at the RAAF Base at East Sale in 2015. Both had just read Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, which detailed the extraordinary stories of struggling women in

Asia and Africa. With a shared desire to raise awareness of their struggles and somehow organise an effort to help them, the men began the Half the Sky campaign named after an ancient Chinese proverb affirming that women “hold up half the sky”. The officers’ campaign culminated in a day of physical challenges to determine the strongest, fastest and smartest members at the RAAF base while raising money for the cause. It turned in to a show of strength, endurance, intelligence and, most importantly, compassion. “I did this three years running before it went out to the whole Air Force,” Mr Grey said. Four years on, the now-retired chaplain’s passion for the cause still runs deep. “Twenty thousand girls are married

underage every day in the developing world,” he said. “One young female dies in childbirth every two minutes because they are just too young to have children. They are robbed of an education and a future and turned into baby-making machines unable to fulfil their dreams of a better life; their children are condemned to poverty.” Mr Grey said more females died in the last half of the 20th Century than men died in all the wars over the past 100 years. “In many countries – unlike here in the West – there are fewer women than men,” he said. “This fact lies behind the asylumseeker issue and much of the poverty and civil strife in their impoverished countries.” Mr Grey believes improved treatment for women and girls is vital for world peace. “If my great, great-

grandchildren are not preparing for war it will be because we started educating and empowering girls today,” he said. He is proud of the work done by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan. “Before they went over about a million children were going to school, yet now about six million are going to school and one third are girls.” Educating girls and empowering women in the developing world is the major challenge facing the 21st Century, he says. “It is of similar importance as the campaign to end slavery in the 19th Century and Totalitarianism in the 20th Century,” he said. “The girls need champions and I am happy to put my hand up.” Anyone wanting to join Mr Grey’s Tough Mudder team can call him on 0444 561 723.

Students explore the science of life ROSEBUD Secondary College students took a peek into the fascinating world of biomedical sciences at the fifth annual Biomedical Sciences Day in Parkville last week. They were among 60 years 10 and 11 students from regional and rural Victoria to attend the event which gave them a rare opportunity to experience life as a biomedical scientist. The event was presented by the School of Biomedical Sciences, University of Melbourne, and the Gene Technology Access Centre (GTAC). Professor Matthew Watt, head of the university’s Department of Physiology, encouraged the students to think about the science behind what creates, sustains and threatens people’s lives here and overseas. He shared his journey into biomedical academia, including his laboratory’s ground-breaking research into the pathogenesis of fatty liver disease and diabetes. Prof Watt discussed some of the revolutionary work under way at the school and at GTAC, including: Biological processes – how and why researchers now have a better understanding of human health; 3D printing to replace bones; Genomics – new tools for cancer treatments, and new vaccines to combat disease. Students worked alongside researchers to photograph specimens using light, fluorescence and scanning electron microscopes. They entered their images into the university’s Under the Microscope competition. They also took a behind-thescenes look at the university’s Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy

Eye-opener: Josh Reilly and Tahlia Spencer-Allen at the Biomedical Sciences Day. Picture: Supplied

and Pathology and uncovered real tissue specimens and historical anatomical models. Later, at a tour of the Virtual Reality Learning Studio, they experienced how cutting-edge digital technology is used to study the human body.

The Rosebud students loved both the learning studio and the museum and were said to be fascinated by the virtual human hearts. They also learned about Access Melbourne, a program that helps students from rural or regional areas

gain entry to undergraduate courses at the university. Each year, 20 per cent of domestic undergraduate places are reserved for Access Melbourne applicants.

Fox fined over beach land A $10,000 FINE and an order to pay $10,000 in costs to Mornington Peninsula Shire Council was an expensive lesson in planning protocols for Portsea resident Lindsay Fox last week. This came after one of the trucking magnate’s private companies pleaded guilty to two charges of failing to comply with the council’s planning scheme at Dromana Magistrates’ Court. Photographs of a 4600 square metre area of foreshore outside the Fox property show it had been levelled and irrigated turf laid without shire approval and that protected native plants and grasses had been removed. The area is covered by overlays requiring a permit to remove, destroy or lop any vegetation. The mayor Cr David Gill said landowners intending to clear areas of vegetation should first consult the shire’s planning department to get the all-clear. “It’s not a difficult process and then they would know what they need a permit for,” he said. “It doesn’t matter who the offender is, we will act for the Mornington Peninsula Shire.” The mayor said the council “doesn’t have a good reputation for enforcement and compliance” but that “if we can continue to get results that reputation will improve”.

Chasing Change for mental health CHASING Change is welcoming members of the community to come together to reflect, share stories, offer support and raise awareness of the importance of mental health at the annual World Suicide Prevention Day Walk at Mornington Park, 9am, Sunday 15 September. The walk is being held in collaboration with Mornington Peninsula Shire Youth Services, It’s Okay Not To Be Okay, Free Hearts, HALT and SEMPHN. “The aim is to create a positive, safe, and welcoming event in which people of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences can come together to acknowledge the impact suicide has on many people’s lives,” said Chasing Change’s Rebecca Tyler, adding that the suicide prevention network serviced all the Mornington Peninsula. “Chasing Change is out to spread word of the event and encourage more support networks, events and greater recognition of those who

have been lost. “This will be done through a ceremony in which people who have lost a loved one due to suicide can nominate to have their name and age read out to the crowd during a moment’s silence. “By doing this, it is hoped to extend the sense of support people feel within the community.” Ms Tyler said it was important people recognised that suicide was a community-wide issue requiring a community-wide solution. “This is a small step in a long process of bringing communities together to collectively work towards reducing suicide, and increase people’s awareness of positive mental health,” she said. All are welcome at the walk. Details: Information on the event and how to register a loved one’s name can be found on the Chasing Change Facebook Page, or by emailing frankstonspn@gmail.com

New wheels for peninsula students STUDENTS from Peninsula Specialist College, Dromana, can now access and enjoy more of the peninsula thanks to a purpose-built trailer for their bike riding excursions. Main Ridge Men’s Shed, with $5000 from a Mornington Peninsula Shire Placemaking Grant and funds from Red Hill Lions Club, built the trailer after receiving a request from the college. A basic trailer was bought locally at low cost from the Mornington Chamber of Commerce and remodelled to include a waterproof storage area for equipment and luggage and space for 12 bike racks. Front and rear props were attached so that the trailers would be stable when stationary. The completed trailer was wrapped by Signforce at Somerville at a discounted rate. It is now ready to be towed by the school’s minibus.

Shed member Paddy Byrne took up the skills challenge and fellow member Rob Barfus sought funding and completed the administration work. The mayor Cr David Gill said the shire’s Placemaking Grants program supported projects, programs and services that “identify a community need and contribute to the building of stronger and more liveable communities”. “It was fantastic to visit the college and see the huge impact this new trailer will have for students,” he said. “Community partnership projects like this strengthen our communities.” To view the shire’s Placemaking Grants program or to apply for a grant, visit: mornpen.vic. gov.au/grants

ON a cue of “Let’s clog Shirl,” Judy Phillips, stroke survivor, and Shirley Cheah, Peninsula Health physiotherapist, performed a type of folk dance called clogging before a large group of Allied Health staff at Peninsula Health’s Golf Links Road Rehabilitation Centre. Comfortable in the limelight after a career as a children’s television presenter, Ms Phillips said she had one clear goal after her stroke last June – “I really wanted to get back to clogging.” The toe-tapping show and lunch on Wednesday 4 September was organised as part of Stroke Week and most of Peninsula Health’s Stroke Detours team members who worked with Judy were there to enjoy it. “They supported me when I really needed it

and I would have been very lost and confused if it hadn’t been for them,” she said. The Stroke Detours Team works with patients in their homes following their discharge from hospital after a stroke. “Judy’s great cardiovascular fitness from clogging was a big factor in her recovery,” Stroke Detours team Leader Nicola Bronts said. “Our team worked with Judy, and her husband Bob, at their home to help her get back to doing what she loves to do, including clogging.” Ms Phillips spent many years hosting Fredd Bear’s Breakfast-a-Go-Go five days a week on Channel 10, which is where she met her two time Logie-winning husband Bob Phillips, the show’s producer.

She shared details of her journey and thanked Allied Health staff at the Stroke Week event. When asked what she would do differently if she had her stroke again, she didn’t hesitate. “As soon as I felt something was wrong I should have called an ambulance. I didn’t do that, I went to bed and it was Bob who insisted we called an ambulance.” Ms Phillip’s message to other stroke survivors is to never give up. “Put your boxing gloves on and be positive, every day is a new day.” The Stroke Foundation urges people to recognise stroke and Think F.A.S.T F– Has their face drooped? A – Can they lift both arms? S – Is their speech slurred and do they understand you? T – Call 000 as time is critical.

Plants give students insight into past STUDENTS at St Joseph’s Primary, Sorrento, celebrated The United Nations International Year of Indigenous Language by researching and designing their own indigenous sensory, edible and medicinal garden using the indigenous plants of the Mornington Peninsula. The colourful gardens, as well as looking spectacular, encourage birds, native bees and insects to visit their school grounds. The students’ efforts have led the school to being a finalist in this year’s Tidy Town Awards. Sustainability teacher Jane Byrne said the project began following a visit by nine years five and six students to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Cranbourne. On their return the students told their classmates what they had experienced and then all students got to work to learn about the plants’ uses and benefits to the Boon Wurrung people. Along the way they documented the local Indigenous language and translated it into Italian and English and placed these words around the school. The students collaborated with a diverse group, including landscape architect and parent Tracey O’Connor, who recently established Sorrento HUB Coworkspace. Others involved were members of Pt Nepean Men’s Shed, who built bird boxes, seating, wicking boxes, insect hotels, as well as contributing many manhours to the project. Their work

was funded by a Mornington Peninsula Shire Place Maker grant. Bunnings activities organiser Jane Robins also donated Corten steel landscape rings and plants to the project, with the main funding coming through a grant from the VSGA Independent Schools Victoria for a sensory garden application. Students Chloe Dalton, Rubystar Irwin and Poppy Williamson explained the garden to Tidy Town judges Robbie Rae, from the Keep Victoria Beautiful, and Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Michelle McCready. Other schools and projects from across the Mornington Peninsula to be named as finalists in this year’s Tidy Towns – Sustainable Communities Awards are: Active Schools Award St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Crib Point 3/4 Learning Community, Crib Point The Sea is my Best Friend Crib Point Clean Beach/Waterway Award Mt Eliza Plastic Free, Mount Eliza Mount Eliza Beach Clean Community Action and Leadership Award (Pop 3000 and Below) Seawinds Boomerang Bags, Capel Sound Bags and Beds for all St Macartans Parish Primary School, Mornington Love Local Market Litter Prevention Award The Peninsula’s Last Straw, Rye

Monkey bike off the road A MAN allegedly riding a monkey bike without a helmet was later found to be unlicensed, and, when drug tested, proved positive to methylamphetamine. Police say they saw the bike on Graydens Road, Hastings, 8.35pm, Tuesday 3 September. The 32-year-old rider, of Mornington, will be summonsed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in relation to drug driving, unlicensed driving, riding an unregistered motor vehicle and not wearing a helmet. His monkey bike was impounded for 30 days for a cost of $1075. “Police receive constant complaints from the public about unregistered monkey or trail bikes due to them being ridden dangerously and causing a public nuisance,” Senior Constable Gregg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said. “Anyone with good information about the addresses or identities of people illegally or dangerously riding unregistered bikes should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.”

Speedster’s thinking ‘beggars belief ’ A MASERATI was nabbed on mobile radar travelling at 189kph in a 100kph zone along Mornington-Flinders Road, Flinders, Saturday 31 August. Asked by Somerville Highway Patrol police why he was speeding, the 29-year-old, of South Yarra, said he

was running late to visit his sister. Like all drivers intercepted for any reason he was drug-and-alcohol tested with both tests proving negative. “Some people seem to think they can drive at these crazy speeds because they have a good car and they think they’re good drivers,” Acting Sergeant Anthony Deason said. “How someone can think 189kph on Mornington-Flinders Road is OK beggars belief. “The undivided two-way road has undulations, bends, rough surfaces, gravel shoulders, cars possibly coming out of side roads and property driveways and tourists – I mean, hello … what could possibly go wrong? “If you want to do speeds like that move to Germany and drive on the autobahns where it’s legal and the roads are purpose built for it. Doing those speeds here is just stupidity.” Acting Sergeant Deason said 13 people had died in collisions in the Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula areas this year “including one just around the corner from here in Boneo Road a few weeks ago”. “We’d prefer not to attend any more.” The driver’s sister turned out to be the owner of the Maserati. “We think given the choice of her brother driving safely and running a bit late versus him driving like a lunatic and having her car impounded for 30 days with a $1390 release fee, she would have chosen the first option,” Acting

Sergeant Deason said. The man will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date over several road policing offences. He faces a minimum 12 months’ loss of licence as well as extra fines.

Cash looking for its owner CASH found at Rosebud is being held at Rosebud police station. The money was in an envelope with a personal message written on the front. “If you are the owner of this money and can tell police the amount in the envelope, and what was written on the front, we will return it to you,” police property officer Tony Paterson said. He can be contacted on 5986 0444.

Rules of the road explained A YOUNG driver showed the steps required to get pulled over by the police on the Mornington Peninsula last week: Exceed the speed limit, have the car lowered so it has less than 100mm ground clearance, and have a bumper sticker saying “Cops don’t like this” on the back. The 24-year-old driver, of Mildura, was intercepted by Somerville Highway Patrol travelling at 115kph in a 100kph zone on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Dromana, Sun-

day 1 September. The driver said he was on his way to a car show. A bright yellow vehicle defect notice was stuck on the windscreen of his 1986 Toyota requiring him to get a full roadworthy certificate, as well as pay a $343 speeding fine along with the loss of three demerit points. Senior Constable Gregg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said motorists intending to modify their cars should make sure they do not take it outside the Standards for Registration. “Driving within the speed limit is also a good idea,” he said.

Building site raided BURGLARS stole plumbing equipment from a house under construction in Lister Avenue, Sorrento, overnight Wednesday 4 September. The value of their haul is put at $2400.

DETECTIVES are trying to work out

ROSEBUD Girl Guide Sarah Wallace is getting a name for herself as a quiet achiever. This comes after she completed a range of challenging guiding activities over many months, including outdoors, service, world guiding, The Guide Promise and Guide Law, Guiding Traditions, and the system where girls learn to be leaders – The Patrol System. Last week plans were underway to reward her with guiding’s highest honour – the BP Award – at a special ceremony at Rosebud Guide Hall, Saturday 31 August. “From the time she began as a youngster at Rosebud she has quietly set herself many new and varied goals and challenges,” Girl Guides Mornington Peninsula District manager Heather Barton said. “This award is built on a series of real challenges which takes many months to undertake – let alone the planning and the actual ‘doing’. “Sarah has systematically gone about jumping each milestone, all the while making a significant contribution to the life of Rosebud Girl Guides.” It is no secret that she’s had a lot of fun along the way, too … Sarah will take part in a Victorian State Presentation Day in November. Rosebud Girl Guides are looking for potential leaders “so that we can extend Guiding further on the Southern Peninsula and beyond”, Ms Barton said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Peace Bonds aeroplane belatedly arrives Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE aeroplane used to advertise the Peace Loan arrived in Frankston on Monday afternoon shortly after 3 o’clock. It was advertised to make its appearance in the forenoon, and a good deal of disappointment and inconvenience was occasioned the public, who had assembled at the Old Racecourse paddock at 11 a.m. in anticipation of its arrival at that hour. Nothing was known of the altered arrangements till Crs Oates and Mason motored to the rendezvous and announced that a message had just come through to the effect that the programme had been altered. Probably a reasonable explanation could be given as to why the aeroplane could not arrive at 11am as originally intended, but it is difficult to explain why the local committee was not informed of the revised arrangement in time to warn the public. As a matter of fact our aerial visitor was cutting capers over the neighboring town of Dandenong at the hour Frankston residents were vainly scanning the skyline for its appearance. However, the aeroplane ultimately arrived, and the occasion is likely to be long remembered by the juveniles at least. All the school children were present, and there was great hurrahing as the machine hove in sight. As it prepared to alight, the youngsters and even some of their elders did not appear too anxious to get too near to the monster of the air. An aeroplane at close quarters is a fearsome thing to the unsophisticated,

and many of the children took to their heels and would not venture near till the machine was quietly resting on the ground. The appearance of the smiling face of Captain Cobby had a reassuring effect, and after the aviator gave up his seat in the plane to Councillor Oates, the crowd considered it safe enough to draw closer. Cr Oates briefly explained the object of the airship’s mission, after which Sgt Cooper said that other loans were used to kill human beings, but this loan was for the purpose of putting the soldiers back into their former positions. At the beginning of the war their Prime Minister, Mr Andrew Fisher, promised the last man and the last shilling, but there was no need for any man to go away and brave the hardships again, still there was the need for money to be supplied to our authorities so that they might carry on. Speaking of his experience in America, he said that country was doing a lot for its soldiers, but its troops had not been in the war as long as Australians, and, although they had done a lot in the line, they did not do better than the Aussies, and, were not our men, therefore, entitled to more than the Americans? They do not ask for something they were not entitled to, but only a fair and square deal, and it was now the people’s time to do something for them. He then appealed to the gathering to take out Peace bonds. During the afternoon bonds to the

value of £1000 were applied for. *** ALL State schools will be closed from 22nd to 26th September, inclusive, in connection with the Royal Show. Teachers’ salaries will be paid in full for the month on Wednesday, 17th September. *** ATTENTION is directed to an advertisement in another column relating to an Executor’s sale of property on Point Nepean Road in the estate of Charlotte Keys, deceased. The sale takes place on 30th September at Arnold House 16 Queen St Melbourne and the auctioneers are Messrs Sydney Arnold, Best and Co and Mr W. P. Fairlam Cheltenham. *** THE new term of the Frankston Grammar School begins on Tuesday 16th inst. in new premises known as the Methodist School Hall in High St. Mr J. Austin, the Principal will attend the School on Monday from 10am to 5pm to interview parents and enroll pupils. Kindergarten and junior classes are being formed under a special teacher. *** A MEETING of the Frankston Horticultural and Agricultural Association will be held in the Mechanics’ Institute on Friday, 19th inst at 8 o’clock pm to consider the advisability of holding a show in 1920 and any other business arising. As this is a matter of great importance to the town and district a large attendance of members and intending members is expected. ***

THE Digger’s Job and Ours – The Commonwealth Government is floating the Peace Loan of £25,000,000, stresses the fact that the whole of the Loan will be used for war and repatriation purposes – principally the latter. When one takes into consideration what the A.I.F. did for Australia and the Empire generally, one cannot but admit that the effort of the man who stayed at home, be it ever so great, is small by comparison. Now is the time for Australia to finish the job. The Digger’s task to re-establish himself. *** Police Court. At the Frankston Police Court on Monday before Messrs C. V. G. Williams (chairman), C. W. Grant and W. J. Oates Esqs J’s.P. the following cases were dealt with: F. W. Merritt v. Albert Seadon Lunn. – Claim for £89s 3d. Goods sold including incubator £6, and rooster, £2. In answer to Mr Cook who appeared for the complainant, defendant said he was a returned soldier and was working for the Shire Council. His weekly earnings average £2 10s. He had not received assistance from the Repatriation department. His wife had obtained a loan of £5, and was repaying it by installment of 5s per week. Defendant admitted owing the amount claimed. He had been expecting help from the Repatriation department and complainant had promised not to press him.

An order was made for the amount with £1 6s costs. Fred Addicott v J. Seimers. Claim for £6 10s, work and labor done. Defendant did not deny liability, and said complainant had only brought him to court “out of spite.” Order for amount with £1 6s costs. Undesirable Visitors. Senr. Const. Bray v John Taylor and Elizabeth Philbrick charged with being drunk and incapable in Bay St, Frankston on the 7th inst. The Police evidence went to show that the couple arrived in Frankston by train Saturday night, next day they were both very drunk in the streets. Senr. Const. Bray said that such an occurrence was very unusual in Frankston and it was desirable in the interests of the place that exemplary punishment should be meted out. Defendants were fined 10s each in default 24 hours. Travelling Without Ticket. A young mail named Macnamany was charged with travelling without a railway ticket. Ticket checker Lovell deposed that he found defendant in a first class compartment at Frankston on 7th inst. He had no ticket and the name and address he gave were both fictitious. Senr. Const. Bray informed the bench that defendant had caused a lot of trouble through refusal to give his correct name. Defendant was fined 20s with 10s costs. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 13 September 1919

Red Hill take home premiership DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn RED Hill have been crowned as MPNFL Division Two premiers for 2019. The Hillmen ran onto Frankston Park on Saturday with fire in their bellies, looking to avenge their Grand Final loss against Dromana last season. They took on Karingal in this year’s big dance. From the outset, Red Hill defended well and were able to restrict the Bulls from scoring. The Hillmen have been notoriously difficult to score against this year, with most sides rarely managing more than a handful of goals against them. Red Hill struggled to find the scoreboard themselves, but eventually went into half time with a narrow two goal lead. Although the Bulls trailed, there was always a chance they could bounce back. Star forward Marc Holt had scored 20 goals in two weeks, and has proved to be a match winner all season. Restricting Holt’s influence turned out to be vital for the Hillmen. He could only manage one goal for the afternoon, making the task all the more difficult for the Bulls. A five goals to one final term sealed the result, as Red Hill claimed the win and the premiership with a 9.11 (65) to

4.3 (27) win. Chris Irving was one of the Hillmen’s best, booting three goals. Jake Mitchell was also brilliant, as was Lachlan Chandler and Jonah Siversen. Jamie Mollo coached his side to the win. Red Hill’s premiership win sees them seal their promotion into the first division for next year. Karingal has a rough afternoon all around, as their Reserves and under19s sides also fell short. Langwarrin and Karingal did battle in the seconds Grand Final, with the Kangaroos hopping away to an easy 16.12 (108) to 4.9 (33) win. Dale Donkin was the hero, booting eight goals.

That winning feeling: Red Hill’s Grand Final win sees them promoted to Division One in 2020. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Sudoku and crossword solutions

By Brodie Cowburn DROMANA have booked their Grand Final spot with a win over Bonbeach. The Tigers scored the only goal of a scrappy first term, and ended up going into the half time break with an eight point lead. Dromana stretched their lead in the third term, and managed to keep the Sharks at an arm’s length. Bonbeach couldn’t close the gap, and Dromana ended up taking the win 8.7 (55) to 5.6 (36). Sam Fowler booted three goals for the winning Tigers, while Sam Guerts also had a big impact. The Tigers go into this weekend’s clash against Sorrento looking to go back to back. They won the second division premiership last year, and are now looking to back it up with a first division win. Their Sorrento opponents will be looking to make up for their devastating Grand Final defeat from last year. The Sharks were defeated last season by Pines after the Pythons scored a behind after the siren. The match will be played on Saturday at Skybus Stadium, Frankston starting from 2pm. Mt Eliza and Frankston YCW will play in the Reserves Grand Final from midday.

Wee Mikey sends United Skye high SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie WEE Mikey Turner claimed the goal that sent Skye United into State 2 with a nerve-jangling 1-0 win over Monash Uni at Skye Recreation Reserve on Saturday. Knowing that a win would secure promotion Skye made hard work of it against an opponent that had come to play and make life as difficult as possible for the home side. There have been many times this season that Skye gaffer Phil McGuinness has made effective substitutions and introducing Daniel Attard, Turner then Maxim Avram into the fray in the second half proved effective once more. Attard had an immediate impact setting up Jack Gallagher who squared the ball to midfielder Mark O’Connor but the Irishman couldn’t hit the target from close range. The moment that sent a huge crowd into a frenzy came in the 84th minute when Monash failed to clear following an O’Connor free-kick and Attard won the loose ball on the left of the area then crossed into the goalmouth. In the ensuing scrimmage Turner prodded the ball over the line with Monash keeper Sima Pasahat desperately trying to keep it out as he lay on the ground. The collective sigh of relief that descended on Skye Recreation Reserve was palpable and when the final whistle sounded supporters rushed onto the pitch to join players, coaching staff and committee in a group celebration. Few pundits predicted at the start of the season that Skye would win promotion and McGuinness and assistant Stephen Duffy have worked wonders with their squad. And during the euphoria many thoughts turned to the late Chris Attard who had been the soul of the club for decades and whose sons and wife retain a close association with the local outfit. In NPL2 news Langwarrin had to settle for a point in Saturday’s 1-1 home draw with Eastern Lions. The result ensured that the visitors clinched the championship after second-placed Bulleen was surprisingly beaten at home 5-2 by Goulburn Valley Suns who had to play with 10 men for the last 35 minutes. Langy took the lead against Lions in the 38th minute with a mistimed strike from defender Luke Burgess that deceived Lions’ keeper Keegan Coulter and trickled over the goal line. Two minutes into the second half

Skye’s the limit: Liam Attard leads the celebrations after Skye United’s success on Saturday. Picture: Gemma Sliz

a long clearance from Langy keeper Fraser Maclaren sailed over the head of the Lions defence and set up Damir Stoilovic with Coulter stranded but the former Springvale White Eagles striker lobbed the ball wide with the goal at his mercy. Lions had to wait until the 87th minute to hit back and the equaliser came when a Ziggy Razuki cross from the left skimmed off the head of Langy substitute Alex Van Heerwarden and into the far corner even though Maclaren got a hand to the ball. In State 1 news Mornington scored twice in quick succession in a 2-0 home win over Eltham Redbacks last weekend. In the 62nd minute a defensive howler from former Mornington player Andy Maclean gifted Liam Baxter with the opener and a minute later substitute Noah Werner tapped the ball into an unguarded goal after the Eltham keeper had dropped a high Baxter cross under pressure from Josh Hine. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers went down 3-2 at home to South Springvale in a thriller on Saturday. South Springvale led 1-0 at halftime and Daniel Clinton gave it a twogoal cushion a minute into the second half. But two John Prescott goals levelled

proceedings and it took a Marcelo Arapis free-kick in injury time to win the match and with promotion rival Berwick City losing it sent the Greekbacked South Springvale back into State 1 after a two-year hiatus. In State 3 news Frankston Pines enjoyed a 1-0 away win over Middle Park last weekend and there was no love lost between rival coaches Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor of Pines and Andy Webster of Middle Park. Taylor claims that Webster refused to shake hands before the kick-off and that harsh words were exchanged. “When I left he was standing out the front and glaring,” Taylor said. “I waved at him, thanked him for another three points and wished him well wherever he ends up next year because I’d be surprised if he’s still there.” CJ Hodgson got the winner thanks to a 55th-minute free-kick. Bailey Atkinson of Pines was forced off with a broken wrist early in the first half. In State 4 news Baxter finished the season in style with a 4-0 home win over Springvale City last weekend. The result means Baxter earned three points more than its total in 2018 when its tally included a 3-0 walkover due to the opposition playing a player under a false name. The win against Springvale City

came via second half goals from Stuart McKenzie (2), Lewis Gibson and Matt McDermott. Harry McCartney reports that there was a farcical finale to Seaford United’s season when three Seaford players were sent off in injury time as the local side defeated Chelsea 4-0 at Edithvale Recreation Reserve on Saturday. In the 32nd minute Matthias Schwellinger’s cross was headed home powerfully by Dylan Waugh at the back post to open the scoring. Chelsea striker Daniel Vella had three attempts to square the ledger before half time, but was denied by Seaford keeper Anthony Madafferi, the woodwork and a poorly placed shot from directly in front of goal. Seaford’s second came in the 53rd minute when Jeremy Schwellinger pounced on a defensive error for a simple lob over advancing Chelsea keeper Rhys Davies. Another defensive error a minute later gifted Waugh his second goal when he slotted home into the bottom corner leaving Chelsea players arguing among themselves. In the 70th minute Jeremy Schwellinger was brought down inside the box and Jack Carter made it 4-0 with an unconvincing but effective spot kick after Davies got a good hand

to the strike. In the 93rd minute Chelsea was awarded a free-kick just outside the area and chaos descended. Referee Dino Christodoulou attempted to move Seaford’s defensive wall back the required distance. First Kane Ireson was yellow carded for not moving back then Mathias Schwellinger was cautioned. When both parties pleaded for leniency they received follow-up yellow cards and were sent off. After the final whistle Tristan Stass pleaded with the referee for some sort of common sense but after initially receiving one caution he was quickly shown a second and also sent off. In State 5 news champion Somerville Eagles signed off on a league season to remember with a 5-1 drubbing of visitors Casey Panthers on Saturday. It was Somerville’s ninth straight win and it won the title by nine points over arch rival Old Mentonians. No prizes for guessing the scorers with Dave Greening notching a hattrick and Mark Pagliarulo a brace. Somerville now enters a play-off series to determine the best State 5 side in Victoria and it kicks off its campaign against State 5 East champion Waverley Wanderers this weekend. The winner goes into the grand final against the winner of the play-off between the State 5 North and State 5 West champions. Rosebud rounded off a season in which it established itself as a competitive outfit at this level by convincingly defeating Pakenham United 4-1 last weekend. Doubles to Chris Parry and Blake Hicks did the damage at Olympic Park. Rosebud has a catch-up match away to Tullamarine scheduled for next Saturday but looks set to forfeit. However it will play Wednesday’s night’s catch-up fixture against Aspendale Stingrays who drew 3-3 at home to Knox United on Saturday after twice leading by two goals. Aspendale scored through Nathan Barnett, Anthony Segavac and an own goal and its best were Kieran Hughes, Peter Dimopoulos and Patrick Diakogeorgiou. This week’s games: WEDNESDAY, 8pm: Aspendale Stingrays v Rosebud (Kingston Heath Soccer Complex). SATURDAY, 1pm: Somerville Eagles v Waverley Wanderers (Comets Stadium).

Peninsula boxer ready for Kombat By Stephen Taylor BLAIRGOWRIE boxer Jayde Mitchell is going into next weekend’s Kings of Kombat bout “without injury for the first time in years”. Since his previous fight in December he has fully recovered from elbow surgery and stem cell therapy to fix shoulder tears. The super middleweight nicknamed “The Matador” is confident of success against Ibrahim Tamba, of Tanzania, on the 10th anniversary

Kings of Kombat event. Their bout is second ranked among eight fights at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, Albert Park, Saturday 14 September. Rated eighth in the world Mitchell regards this fight as a “tune up” after which he will undertake a five-fight deal with promoter Lynden Hosking and Fox Sports. All going well he will fight outdoors at Mornington Racecourse in November.

Ready for action: Jayde Mitchell is fighting fit for next weekend’s encounter. Picture: Supplied Martin’s magic: Rox The Castle wins at Flemington. Picture: Supplied

Rox The Castle flies under the radar HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou THE small, yet brave, Balnarring-trained racehorse Rox The Castle has once again defeated a runner that many pegged as a “horse that couldn’t be beaten” at Sandown on Wednesday 4 September. The Kerry Edwards-trained galloper jumped as the second favourite behind the promising Phillip Stokes-trained Jumbo Ozaki who many expected to come out on top before heading towards bigger targets in the Spring. But, the little pocket rocket, Rox The Castle, didn’t lay down without a challenge and led from start to finish with the top weight of 59.5kg to score his first win for the preparation. Third-up and

nearing peak fitness, the fiveyear-old son of Castledale held a comfortable three-quarters of a length margin over the hyped horse, Jumbo Ozaki, who had every possible chance to run him down. The five-year-old son of Castledale was given a calm ride by Mornington-based jockey Jack Martin and notched up his sixth victory in Australia since moving from New Zealand. The victory added to Martin’s already successful run aboard Castledale progeny having claimed the Group Three Craven Plate at Randwick last year aboard the Peter Gelagotistrained Moss ‘N’ Dale. Despite being impatient in the mounting yard pre-race, trainer Kerry Edwards said her stable star should never be underesti-

mated. “Today was the worst he’s ever been at the races as far as his patience goes, so to see him go out and do that and carry that weight against the horse that everyone said ‘couldn’t be beaten’ was incredible,” Edwards said. “He’s done it before [by defeating the heavily-supported] Greyworm previously so he just defies logic sometimes. He’s a competitor, he’s just got that will to win.” While Rox The Castle doesn’t look all to different this preparation compared to his last preparation, Edwards said he’s really put on a bit of muscle where he has needed to. “He’s got strength about him this time in work,” she said. “Physically he just doesn’t look much different but he’s carrying

about 10 kgs more.” Since his run on Wednesday, Rox The Castle has had a quiet time of recovering with the run taking “a bit out of him” but Edwards said she couldn’t have been any happier with the way he felt at Balnarring beach on Monday morning. “This morning down at the beach, he just felt enormous,” she said. “After the race last week he had Thursday off and then Friday and Saturday he was very quiet but he’s back to where he needs to be now. “I reckon his last run will have him cherry ripe for his next assignment that we go to.” As long as he gains a start in the race, that next assignment will be the $140,000 Listed ‘The Sofitel’ handicap (1400m) at Flemington on Saturday 14 September.
