Dancing for a good cause WEARING their best “country” attire with a splash of red, Eastbourne Primary School students put their best heels forward to generate an awareness of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) last week. The students had learned to dance the Heel Toe Polka as part of their music lessons, and so, to celebrate the end of term, they danced as a whole school to raise funds for this worthy cause. Thankfully the weather was kind as the students assembled on the school oval to perform, with principal Stephen Wilkinson even bringing his horse to the event. Picture: Yanni

Shire digs in over easing of quarry rules Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is opposing state government moves to relax planning rules for quarries. The shire’s opposition to extending the time within which an extractive industry must start operating and how long a quarry can remain idle comes at the same time that the government is considering the opening of another

quarry in Boundary Road, Dromana. With the planning decision taken out of its hands, the shire has already voiced its opposition to Hillview Quarries’ plan for the 38 hectare, 190-metre deep quarry, but the government will make the final decision. The government says it is committed to changing planning laws surrounding extractive industries to provide greater flexibility for the start of extractive industry operations and periods of inactivity; to prevent the premature expiry

of planning permits; and, enable quarrying sites to respond to market conditions to quickly increase or decrease production. The proposed changes to follow a August 2018 joint ministerial statement which called for “a better approach for land use planning and regulations that will assist quarries to keep operating and new sites to develop alongside growing suburbs and communities”. Included in the changes since recom-

mended by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions (DJPR) are extending the time within which a project must be started after the issuing of a permit from two to five years and possibly allowing the permit to run forever, even if there is no quarrying being undertaken. The shire says allowing five years before a quarry starts operation would be unreasonable and create uncertainty

“in community expectations around land use”. In its submission to the government, the shire says it is “well placed” to “seek to ensure that resulting planning provisions are appropriate for industry, council and communities alike”. Quarries in the shire include a sand quarry in Truemans Road, Fingal, granite quarries in Boundary Road and Manna Street, Dromana and a clay quarry in Pottery Road, Somerville. Continued Page 5

Help for homeless tops shopping list Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE number of homeless people on the Mornington Peninsula is increasing and waiting lists for emergency housing are getting longer. That sad truth, made plain by Office of Housing statistics, is a stark daily reality to SalvoCare Eastern Rosebud coordinator Judy Cooper. She spoke to The News last week while out shopping for food supplies to help feed those desperate for help. “More people are presenting; there are always more people seeking help,” she said. Her comments come in the lead up to Homelessness Week: 4-10 August, with its theme “Housing Ends Homelessness’’. The plight of the homeless on the peninsula was highlighted in the Catholic Social Services Victoria forum: Homelessness – what can parishes do, held at the Cardinal Knox Centre, Melbourne, on 8 June (“Catholic call for homeless help” The News 4/6/19). The latest figures show numbers on the peninsula grew by 10 per cent from 2011 up to the 2016 Census. Helpers say many homeless are “going under the radar because it is not something people want to talk about”. The forum was told these included those sleeping rough, couch surfing, living in boarding houses, emergency accommodation, or “severely crowded dwellings”. Practical efforts on the peninsula to provide part-solutions were highlighted in the push to establish Tiny Hous-

es Victoria as an affordable alternative to homelessness. They would particularly suit those facing eviction from their former homes in caravan parks, such as Capel Caravan Park, which is making way for development. The small houses project – being

run by former Liberal candidate for Nepean Russell Joseph and affordable housing advocate Wayne Iremonger – could be established in eco-villages in semi-rural locations or unused public land. “I applaud what Russell and Wayne

are trying to do,” Ms Cooper said. “Any form of accommodation would help be it a Tiny House, converted barn, rental property, or a caravan park. “We just need something because there is very little public housing here.” She estimated about 60 people slept

rough on the foreshore each night. Many homeless people used the Southern Peninsula Laundry and Shower Program (SPLaSH) which offered the use of showers, washing machines and dryers with soap, shampoo, towels and laundry powder provided. Snacks, tea and coffee are also on hand. It runs 11.30am-2.30pm Thursdays at the foreshore amenities block opposite Boneo Road, Rosebud. Salvos staff attend once a month to help users fill in public housing application forms. “They don’t want them to go into rooming houses,” she said. “We look after four registered rooming houses and we have had success in getting people rehoused and into jobs and having stable food supplies. Some have gone on to private houses,” Ms Cooper said. Money raised through the Salvos Red Shield Appeal assists the Rosebud Rooming House Project, which will soon expand to Hastings. “We can’t just let people languish,” Ms Cooper said. “They have been marginalised. “We are helping them do courses; get them computers and do focus groups. “We ask them what they want and then do our darnedest to get it.” Ms Cooper said food security was paramount. “If there’s no food there’s a big problem.”

Diners fork out to back MND fight

Shire objects to quarry rules

A toast: MND event organisers Torie Schwarze and Rob Tucker, above, and, left, GP Adrian Murrie talking to diners. Pictures: Supplied

A SELL-OUT lunch at Sorrento last week raised $16,300 for the fight against motor neurone disease. International MND Awareness Day was recognised in Sorrento, Friday 21 June, with the launch of the Mornington Peninsula MND Association started by Torie Schwarze in memory of her late father Marty Mackinnon.

Ms Schwarze and Rob Tucker organised the three-hour lunch at Mr Morce restaurant, with all money raised going to support those living with, or caring for, a motor neurone sufferer. Ms Schwarze and GP Adrian Murrie gave presentations on their experiences of caring for an MND sufferer.

Sponsors included Mercedes Benz Mornington, Volvo Cars Melbourne, Wooden Boat Shop and artist Jos Law. They all donated items to be auctioned by Peninsula Sotheby’s agent Rob Curtin, along with peninsula fine food suppliers donating all food served. Money raised will help buy a powered wheelchair, two manual wheel-

chairs, electric riser chair and hoist. These daily use items are urgently needed to assist MND sufferers to continue living safely at home. MND Victoria supplies equipment free of charge on a loan arrangement for those living with MND. Ms Schwarze and Mr Tucker plan to hold another event in November.

Continued from Page 1 The fight against Hillview’s latest proposal is being led at the community level by the Peninsula Preservation Group which in 2013 was at loggerheads with the same company when it wanted to convert the disused Pioneer quarry into a rubbish tip. The Environment Protection Authority eventually rejected the tip plan. The group’s SaveArthursSeat website says Hillview is now “selling” its plans for a new quarry “as a boon for our children's future housing and roads”. “While disused quarries are being converted into popular attractions worldwide, our state Minister for Planning, Richard Wynne, has allowed Hillview to bypass council planning permit requirements for a quarry which will destroy the Arthurs Seat landscape,” the website states. Flyers being letterboxed by the Peninsula Preservation Group say the new quarry “adjoins Arthurs Seat State Park which has one of the state’s highest levels of biodiversity”. “A sizeable chunk of the escarpment will be blasted away, significantly changing the shape of the landscape and leaving a massive pit that will be a permanent scar. Damage on this scale cannot be rehabilitated.” The flyer also quotes Liberal Flinders MP Greg Hunt and the Labor MP for Dromana as also opposing the new quarry.

School reaps poll rewards A $2.36 million grant to Dromana Secondary College will go towards knocking down and rebuilding outdated classrooms. Money for the works was allocated in the recent state budget. It forms part of a $5.5 million package to schools in the Nepean electorate which MP Chris Brayne says “represents the biggest investment in schools in Nepean in the seat’s history”. “These numbers seem to just roll off the tongue and, in politics, numbers seem to be thrown around all the

time,” Mr Brayne said. “But this is genuine, good quality funding to a school that needs it.” Mr Brayne said Dromana Secondary was the first school he visited after being elected in November. “We wrote to principals to ask that they get in touch, when convenient, so that we could come and visit their school,” he said, adding that principal Dromana Alan Marr “got in touch before we could even drop the letter off at Australia Post”. “Mr Marr has spoken to me about

the constant struggle with funding and that, in all his time, he’s never had a visit from the education minister to talk about his school and school community. We will change that.” Mr Marr said the school council was “incredibly appreciative of Mr Brayne and his advocacy to the state government on behalf of our school”. “Having modern and up-to-date learning areas is fundamental to ensuring all our students have the best possible education.”

WE’RE Postcode pointer to school success UP TO Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au NEW research shows the postcode you’re born in can radically impact your whole future. That’s the finding of research conducted by Teach For Australia which shows that, even before starting school, children from low socioeconomic backgrounds are much more likely to be developmentally unready compared to their higher socioeconomic peers. The not-for-profit organisation says it seeks to improve the educational outcomes for all children by “rigorously recruiting Australia’s top talent and training them to be exceptional teachers and leaders in schools and communities with the highest need”. The results of the research show a mix of good and bad outcomes for schools on the Mornington Peninsula. Mornington rates as disadvantaged when it comes to educational opportunities, coming in a 386th out of 667 areas, while Mt Eliza rates among the most advantaged at 151st. Dromana and Rosebud rate as disadvantaged (369th and 467th) while Sorrento rates as most advantaged at 86th. Red Hill South and Balnarring rate most advantaged at 25th and 39th while Hastings at 597th and Somerville at 416th rate most disadvantaged. Teach For Australia last week launched an interactive postcode search tool that delves into the levels of educational possibilities in postcodes Australia-wide.

“The tool showed clearly that many experience strong educational outcomes. However, complex educational disadvantage is experienced by a small but persistent number of locations,” CEO Melodie Potts Rosevear said. “We know that by age 15 children from the lowest socioeconomic households are, on average, almost three years behind in school than children from the highest socioeconomic households. “There’s no excuse for an unequal education system. Research shows a school in a rural community offers half as many academic subjects as schools in metropolitan areas. “The postcode study was compiled using a number of indicators of educational disadvantage, including readiness for schooling, qualifications post-schooling, NAPLAN performance and school leavers before the age of 15. “Together with Jesuit Social Services and with the help of data from the Dropping off the Edge (DOTE) report, we have mapped out the levels of educational outcomes throughout Australia to give a greater perspective on the need to ensure that all children achieve their potential.” Ms Potts Rosevear said the 10-year-old organisation had placed about 830 teachers in schools across Australia, impacting on the performance of more than 230,000 students. “We believe in an Australia where all children, regardless of background, attain an excellent education,” she said. “A postcode shouldn’t define a child’s future, but a great teacher can.” Details: teachforaustralia.org.

With Stephen Taylor

Speed, wet road combine in epic fail “DRIVING too fast on a wet road – what could possibly go wrong?” asked Somerville Highway Patrol’s Greg Wolfe. Well, you could run off the road, crash into a tree and roll your car, like the driver of this HSV Maloo ute did in Watt Road, Mornington, 7.30pm, Thursday 20 June. “The mid-30s Langwarrin man had just overtaken a mate before the collision,” Senior Constable Wolfe said. “He was extremely fortunate to climb out of the vehicle with just a blood nose. “Alcohol and drug tests were both negative. However, the driver is facing a range of other road policing charges and is likely to be summonsed to court at a later date.” The roads were wet and driving conditions poor at the time of the crash. “Please slow down, drive according to the conditions and within the speed limit,” Senior Constable Wolfe said.

Manuel following a fatal stabbing at Chelsea Heights, Monday 17 June. Homicide Squad detectives say the 27-yearold Frankston man, pictured right, is probably being harboured by an associate. He is wanted following the death of 44-yearold Bonbeach man Ricky Thompson after the pair was involved in an argument in the car park of a hotel on Springvale Road, 3.35am. Thompson was stabbed in the incident and died in hospital next day. It’s believed the men knew each other. Manuel is known to frequent the Frankston area, although police are keen to hear from anyone who thinks he may be elsewhere. “We think Manuel has gone to ground and I would strongly reiterate that if he is being harboured by someone, then that person risks committing a serious offence as well,” Detective Inspector Andrew Stamper, of the Homicide Squad, said. “There will be people out there who know

Fatal near Flinders A MAN died in a two-car collision near Flinders on Wednesday afternoon. He was driving one of two vehicles which collided on Boneo Road near Mornington-Flinders Road just before 4.30pm. The man was the only occupant of one of the vehicles and died at the scene. A man and woman in the other vehicle were treated for minor injuries. The cause of the collision is being investigated.

A BRAZEN burglar stole a credit card while a woman was asleep in a unit at Dromana Holiday Village, Nepean Highway, Dromana, overnight Wednesday 26 June.

Detective Senior Sergeant Eddie Logonder, of Somerville CIU, said the 65-year-old woman’s card had already been used by the time the theft was reported.

Car break-ins A SPATE of car break-ins at Safety Beach, Capel Sound and Mt Martha is annoying police – and keeping them busy. Detective Senior Sergeant Eddie Logonder, of Somerville CIU, said owners were playing into thieves’ hands by leaving cars unlocked and valuables in full view. While nothing major has been taken, thieves had bought several items on stolen credit cards, he said.

Stone resources at Hillview Drive Quarry are running out, so Hillview Quarries is looking to relocate and re-establish quarrying operations, and access the adjoining resources at the former Pioneer Quarry in Boundary Road, Dromana. The Boundary Road Project

Who was Roy Everard Ross?

Since 1968, Hillview Quarries has been quarrying at the current site in Dromana. Hillview also owns the land at the Old Pioneer quarry and the surrounding resources in Boundary Road Dromana.

Roy Everard Ross: Victorian-born businessman; World War One veteran; one of the Peninsula’s most generous benefactors.

Both quarry sites are owned by the R E Ross Trust, a charitable Trust established in Victoria in 1970 as per the will of the late Roy Everard Ross.

Unfortunately, just two years later, Roy passed away but not before creating the RE Ross Trust.

Relocating quarrying to the Boundary Road site will enable the long-term charitable granting of the R E Ross Trust through the continued profits from the quarry operations.

Since then, the Trust has granted $117 million to charitable organisations for education, arts, culture and environmental projects around Victoria.

In May 2018, the Minister for Planning directed that an Environmental Effects Statement (EES) be prepared for this project. An EES is the most rigorous government process for assessing projects in Victoria.

These funds have come from the sale of rock from the Trust’s Hillview Quarries business which makes up 70% of the Trust’s income.

Roy was a land surveyor, engineer and a quarry man. In 1968 he acquired the TW Maw and Sons quarry – which operates to this day as Hillview Quarries at Dromana.

In his Will, Roy directed that ‘the income in perpetuity from his estate (his share portfolio, property and Hillview Quarries) go to charities or charitable purposes’.

In addition, a further $15 million of grants, cash donations and products for community projects has been donated through Hillview Quarries to the Mornington Peninsula community.

As rock reserves at Hillview Drive Quarry diminish, finding a source of revenue to safeguard the work of the Trust is a priority. The Boundary Road Project does just that.

Heel pain in the morning YOU’VE just started putting in the extra miles, walking or running to get fit, and suddenly putting weight on the base of the foot, near the heel makes it ache, and makes more training a painful prospect. That sharp pain in your heel can be a symptom of plantar fasciitis, a condition of the connective plantar fascia tissue in your foot, and traditionally very difficult to treat. Physiotherapist Melanie Jones says Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury that can feel as though you have a pebble in your shoe. At Back In Motion Balnarring, we have several solutions for this condition. Firstly, it is important to look at your whole lower limb biomechanics. As a result, we can work on your strength and flexibility in your leg and foot, prescribe orthotics, tape and teach taping, and use massage and ultrasound to reduce inflammation. We have a unique way of mobilizing your foot and teaching “foot core stability” to reduce pressure on the plantar fascia. Apart from the above solutions, there is a newer healing technology that is making a profound difference to Plantar fasciitis sufferers. Practice owner and physiotherapist, Paul Rowson says shockwave therapy is often useful, because the Plantar fascia is a connective tissue, not a muscle. “It puts a significant shockwave through the tissues

you apply it to,” Rowson says. “It is a pressure wave which brings blood flow to the area. Tendons and connective tissue do not have much blood supply and can take a long time to heal. Shockwave artificially stimulates the healing of the tendon. Shockwave therapy can also be used on Achilles tendonitis, tennis and golfer’s elbow, and rotator cuff tendon problems, and is usually most effective on long term chronic problems, rather than acute injuries. Both physios say that Shockwave is not the first line of treatment for injured patients. Physiotherapy and graded exercise are more likely in the first instance. For more stubborn conditions, shockwave has shown good results in other Back In Motion clinics. “The evidence at the moment suggests between three to five treatments are required, but most people should see an improvement within three sessions. It has a 90% success rate,” Jones says. The Shockwave therapy is administered for a three-minute period to the affected area during consecutive weekly appointments. “It is a bit of an uncomfortable sensation,” Jones says, “like most physio hands-on treatments with a little discomfort during the treatment. “ Rowson says,” After each session, most people get a significant reduction of pain and symptoms. Long term it stimulates healing, short term it reduces pain.”

Physiotherapists Melanie Jones (L) and Paul Rowson (R). Pictures: Yanni “Probably the best thing is, the effects are long lasting. It stops a lot of people having more invasive things like surgery or injections. The treatment is considered safe, but can produce skin reddening or bruising, short term pain, and cannot be used on people taking blood thinning

medications or with bleeding disorders.” “It is important to know that shock wave has a long-term effect. Most of the time you have good outcomes without having to do further treatment”

Shockwave therapy carries a $60 surcharge for every session (generally cannot be claimed from health funds) and is now available at Balnarring. Call in and speak to any of the physios, to see if it suits your condition.

‘Airfield needs social licence to operate’ After decades of uncertainty Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has taken appropriate action to comply with its statutory obligations as the responsible authority in matters related to the non-CASA regulated privately-owned and operated Tyabb aeroplane landing ground. Older residents will remember the 2004 GHD consultants’ report from which flowed a range of shire initiatives to ensure the continued operation of the landing ground in a manner acceptable to the local community. Most of those initiatives failed. As stated in its recent press release the shire, for a decade, has tried unsuccessfully to negotiate a modernisation of the airfield operating permits that do not reflect the growth of operations from a handful of aircraft in 1965 to the now (approximately) 180 kept at the airfield. The recent planner’s report into runway widening and curfew removal was a clear and concise evaluation of the current situation and fulfilled the requirement of orderly and proper planning. Peninsula Aero Club members may have been better served had their hierarchy not removed the club from that planning process at the last minute. The report highlighted the need for the airfield master plan and noise management plan, which the airfield operators committed to in December 2017, and one can only wonder why, 18 months on, they have not fulfilled that obligation. The shire has no option other than to seek advice to allow it to undertake its legislative obligations and the councillors and officers are to be congratulated and supported for the initiative in appointing high level legal and planning experts to have this matter now under due process. The Tyabb Airfield Precinct Plan consultants (2017) made note that private airfields need a social licence to operate and one can only hope

that this current shire initiative will see that objective fulfilled. Peter Davis, Tyabb

Shire is to blame I must point out that David Lines is using the usual objector’s line that the Peninsula Aero Club is out of control by his remark that the club “has grown exponentially since 1964 to housing over 180 aircraft” (“Airfield businesses must obey the law of the land” Letters 25/6/19). This is nonsense and a total exaggeration of the facts. Of the dozen or so aircraft the PAC actually operates, it owns only around four, as I understand. The rest are cross-hired from owners, who may be aero club members or may not be. All the other aircraft there are privately owned and nothing to do with the club. Lines also states that because certified, that is licenced airports are highly regulated and because Tyabb is not licenced, he infers that Rafferty’s rules apply there and that anything goes. What biased rubbish. An airport that is inside of services-controlled airspace is required to be licenced. As the nearest controlled airspace to Tyabb is 4000ft above it and it is therefore outside of it, it is not required to be licenced. That does not mean that operations at Tyabb are not regulated. All civil flying concerns, including flying schools, charter operators and aircraft maintenance facilities operated under strict rules and regulations, issued by the federal authority, Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). The club’s flying school, for example, operates under a flying school licence issued by CASA and its predecessor organisations, such as the Department of Civil Aviation, and has done so ever since it began. What laws of the land are supposed to have been broken at the airfield anyway?

As for the noise being made by aircraft. They have engines just like road vehicles, which also make noise, so why not complain about them too? The issue of houses right next to an aerodrome is not a new one, unfortunately. This has also happened at Moorabbin, Essendon and many other aerodromes long before Tyabb. The real problem is that for some reason local councils seem to be attracted to the land around airfields as ideal places for housing development. They are the ones who should be condemned for these situations because the attraction of the extra rates they reap from the unsuspecting buyers of these properties seems to overcome any common sense in their approval of such developments. Cam Care, Mornington

Dogged Coalition There’s a house up the road, seemingly unoccupied for months, with two guard dogs in the backyard. Every time I walk by (well, shuffle) they bark in a ferocious manner, bashing the side gate, seemingly to attack. As I shuffle by and pray they don’t escape, I can’t help drawing the connection with these guard dogs and our friendly Coalition government, the difference (obviously) is we opened our gate, in a sense the same gate, on 18 May, another three long years. It suddenly occurs to me; who feeds the dogs? Cliff Ellen, Rye

Missing manager Coppin Road, Sorrento property owners were advised in January by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council the manager they should contact if they had any queries regarding the construction of the footpath on their road. With construction underway, you can imagine my surprise a fortnight ago when I tried to contact the nominated manager to find he was away until mid July. Maybe it says it all about the way our council is managed as no updated advice had been provided to property owners. Bill Holmes, Sorrento

Establishing credentials I would like to issue an apology to John Cain if I misread his connection to the GetUp movement (“Community helper” Letters 15/6/19). I must have misunderstood when in the Letters pages in March, Mr Cain used the word “our” when describing the actions of GetUp in the Flinders election (“Independent GetUp! Letters 27/3/19). Obviously, my mistake so, as I said, I apologise. As to my community service ,which Mr Cain questions, well here’s a few: captain Moorooduc under-16s tennis, club champion Moorooduc under-16s cricket, committee Moorooduc Cricket Club, committee and foundation member Mt Martha Cricket Club, coach under-14s Mt Martha Cricket Club, coach, president and life member Mt Martha Junior Football Club; 23 years Mt Martha CFA, 21 years as an officer and committee of Mt Martha CFA, task forces to Kinglake, Cann River, Arthur’s Seat (twice) and Conbianbar with the CFA, Ash Wednesday fires as team leader; committee 2nd Mornington Sea Scouts; Mount Martha Hookers Angling Club committee; and seven years as secretary of the Mornington and District Pool Association. There are probably a few more, but you get the general idea. Michael G Free, Mt Martha

Don’t bet on game The Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation’s 2018 community attitudes survey found 74 per cent of Victorians think adolescents are exposed to too much gambling advertising. That really bothers me. So I am delighted that more than 400 sporting clubs across Victoria have taken a stand by signing up to the Foundation’s Love the Game sporting club program and are saying no to sports betting sponsorship. This includes our 10 AFL teams, AFL Victoria, leagues and commissions, and hundreds of community clubs.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Settled out of court - Olsen V. Ritchie Compiled by Cameron McCullough WHEN this case was called on at the Frankston Court on Monday counsel immediately intimated that a settlement had been effected. Mr. Knight, P.M., and Messrs C. G. V. Williams, Jas. Grice, C. Grant and W. J. Oated, J’s.P., occupied the Bench. Mr McFarlane appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Utber and Mr Maxwell represented defendant. Mr McFarlane addressing the Bench said the parties had talked over the position and a settlement had been arranged to withdraw complaint subject to the approval of the Court. It was alleged that defendant had made a number of accusations against Olsen and his son, imputing disloyalty in the case of Olsen senr., and reflecting on Olson jnr. because of his failure to enlist. Defendant was now prepared to express regret for what has taken place, and to admit that any such accusations were without foundation. Counsel stated that Olsen senr. had brothers who fought in the South African war and it could be proved that he had not a drop of German blood in his veins. As to Olsen junr. he was medically unfit for active service, and always had been, and, as a fact, had been rejected by the Senior Cadets owing to his physical condition, as defendant would admit, and was prepared to unreservedly withdraw anything he had said to the contrary. Defendant for the physical injury he had caused Olsen senr., by striking him, had agreed to pay £30 and £10 10s costs. Mr Maxwell, for defendant, endorsed

the terms of settlement as outlined by Mr McFarlane. The defendant regretted exceedingly the whole occurrence, and was now only desirous of doing the fair thing, Defendant would pay the assessed damages, as stated. In conclusion counsel expressed the hope that now peace was signed, all would make a new departure, and that people who had had differences arising out of the war, would make a fresh start. The Bench consented to the withdrawal. Another charge against the defendant, arising out of the same concurrence, involved the breaking of windows on the premises of the Peninsula Motor Garage Co. Mr W. S. Cook appeared for the Police, in this instance and consented to a withdrawal on defendant paying the cost of the damage £6 1s and on two other charges fines were recorded, against the defendant. *** PEACE! United Thanksgiving Service on Sunday (to-morrow.) Peace Celebrations Committee meet to-night, (Saturday) at 8. See ad. *** AN event that will probably prove an attraction to lovers of the spectacular is announced to take place in the Frankston Mechanics Hall, on Saturday (to night) under the auspices of the Returned Soldiers Association. The event is advertised as “Crowning of the ugly man,” and the man of the hour will be Mr Mark Brody, the winner of the recent competition held in connection with the Anzac Appeal. The “King” it is stated, will be magnificently robed for the occasion, and

he will be presented with a certificate which is being specially designed. A dance is to be held during the evening. *** Frankston School Committee The monthly meeting of the school committee was held at Frankston on Tuesday evening, when, there were present: Cr W. J.. Oates (chairman), Mark Brody (Correspondent), and Messrs Nicholson, H. Mc Comb, C. Johns L. Ward, and W. C. Young. The head teacher (Mr Jennings) reported that two officers from the Public Works Department had visited the school on the previous day, and it was likely that certain alterations to verandas and window screens would be effected. It was also likely that the department would undertake the erection of the bell. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr Gardiner for his offer to construct a ladder in connection with the boys gymnasium. Other suggested additions to the playground were discussed, and with the question of providing an Honor Roll, were held over pending further particulars. The head teacher stated that the Frankston School was well ahead of other schools in its class in the matter of collection for the Repatriation Fund. The committee decided to pay a visit to the school on Thursday next at 4 o’clock. *** DURING the week Cr W. J. Thwaites, J.P., Mayor of Queenscliffe, has been visiting this portion of the Flinders Electorate, in the interests of the Na-

tional Federation. As one of the organisers, he is specially concerned in the matter of enthusing new life into local branches, and as a whisper is heard that a dissolution of Parliament is looming in the near future, all friends of the organisation are expected to rally to the Standard. Mr Thwaites is well pleased with his reception at both Frankston and Somerville and where he was successful in enrolling many new members. On Friday he will open a branch of the Federation at Flinders, and on Wednesday the 9th inst he will attend a branch meeting at Frankston, in the hall, when it is hoped all members and intending members will attend. The business is election of officers for the year and other important business. *** TODAY (Saturday), at 2.15 p.m, a special train will leave Frankston for Mornington, returning at 5.30, after the football match between the Frankston and Mornington teams. Return tickets are being sold at 2s 6d, children half price. *** REV E. Tonkin will give a lantern talk on “Across America” in the local Methodist Church, on Tuesday evening next. The pictures include views of New York, Niagara Falls, and North American Indians. Mr Alison-Norris F. R. G. S. will assist. There will be musical items and refreshments. The admission will be a shilling, children half price. Proceeds to be devoted to the Trust Fund, *** A WELCOME home social will be

held in the Mechanics’ Hall’ on Friday evening July 11th, to welcome, home a number of our local boys recently returned from active service. (See advt. ) *** PROFOUND regret was expressed throughout the district on Wednesday last when it became known that Mr George Darcy had passed away. He was a member of the A.I.F. and since returning from the Front had been in very indifferent health, being specially affected by heart trouble. Deceased was a great favorite and his demise came as a great shock to his numerous friends. On returning from the war the late Mr Darcey married Miss Florrie McSweeney, of Frankston and sincere sympathy is felt for the widow and her little son. Deceased was one of five sons to enlist. He was the son of the late Mr James Darcy of Lauriston and Kyneton and his mother is still living in Frankston. The funeral took place on Thursday and was very largely attended. The cortège on reaching the railway bridge passed through two long lines of school children. The service at the grave was conducted by the Rev E. Tonkin and the impressiveness of the occasion was increased with the sounding of the Last Post. The beautiful wreaths were forwarded, including wreaths from the Frankston Branch of the Returned Soldiers’ Association, “Wattle” Club and the School children. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 July 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

There’s no business like snow business By Stuart McCullough GO if you must. Pack your four-wheel drive and head on up to the high country. Take the weekend. Heck, take the entire week if it makes you happy. Load up your boots, goggles, gloves and poles and do your absolute worst. But don’t tell me anything about it because I don’t want to hear. I’ve never liked the snow. Of course I’ve been, once or twice. When I was a kid. And they were some of the most unpleasant experiences of my entire life. Even now, some thirty years later, the very mention of ‘the snow’ sends an involuntary shiver down my spine and makes me reach for the nearest blanket. That’s because when we went to the snow, we didn’t bother with fancy-pants equipment that was designed to keep you either safe or warm or both; we improvised. I can kind of see where my parents were coming from – why waste money of fancy snow gear that may only ever get used once? Alternatively, they were themselves so unfamiliar with the concept of snow that they refused to believe it could be all that bad. At best, this was an act of unfounded optimism, right up there with the time Burke and Wills decided that taking an extra bottle of Mount Franklin would be overkill. At worst, it was an action imbued with the recklessness that infected in the 1980s; resulting in gigantic shoulder pads, Huey Lewis and the News and a spectacular stock market crash. We headed to the mountains in that most sturdy of all terrain vehicles – the Nissan E-20. Just as a Land Cruiser might be fairly compared to the nimble mountain goat, the Nissan E-20 was more a 2am drunk staggering home before attempting to crawl into a post box, having mistaken it for a taxi. I don’t think we asked for chains, having decided to use our wits to overcome both the elements, if not gravity itself. My siblings and I were lumped into the back, dressed in our parkas and gumboots, ready for

anything the mountain cared to throw our way. A quiet word about gumboots: they’re not that great for the snow. This is largely because there’s plenty of room at the top of the boot to let in snow that then turns your foot into a gigantic ice cube. Luckily, my parents were prepared to improvise. Even in the pre-MacGyver age, they were willing to take ordinary household products and attempt the extraordinary. In this case, elastic bands were used in an attempt to seal the top of the boot. It failed miserably. Before we had so much as exited the car, ice filled our gumboots. The resulting chill was unlike anything we’d experienced before. We

were familiar with rain and mud and general discomfort, but this was something else altogether. These were conditions hostile to human existence. Our parkas offered little resistance to the mountain winds as we stepped onto the snowfields. I recall that remaining upright was a particular challenge. Gumboots seldom render you fleet of foot. Soon, we were slipping over, giving us the ideal chance to observe this mysterious white substance up close. Our tracksuit pants had a remarkably sponge-like quality, able to absorb large quantities of icy water. It was impossible to escape. Even traditionally fail-safe

precautions – wearing football socks rather than regular socks – failed to keep hyperthermia at a distance. Our gloves were made of wool and were not ‘water resistant’ so much as ‘water surrendering’. We were freezing. The whole event was less like a family excursion and more the kind of test of human endurance that even Bear Grylls would call in sick to avoid. Beyond our vastly inadequate clothing, there was the spectacularly unsafe equipment. We watched as some families came tearing down the slope while sitting in a garbage bag. We, on the other hand, had a tiny fiberglass toboggan that you might expect to pick up on the nature strip during your local hard rubbish night. It was built neither for comfort nor speed and was extremely difficult to sit in. It was more like an oversized shoehorn. Somehow, in my icy cold tracksuit pants, water logged socks, defenceless parka and gumboots; I managed to sit inside the toboggan. Soon, I was hurtling down the side of the mountain at a spectacular rate of knots (or so it seemed) before my journey ended as I slid into a pond. Which, predictably, was both very, very wet and very, very icy. As I sat, sinking into the frozen abyss, I looked back and saw that I had travelled about six metres in total. It seemed the ideal time to retire. I like the way people say that they’re going to ‘the snow’, in much the same way as they tell you they’re going to ‘the shops’. But as for me, I haven’t returned to the snow since that fateful trip. Snow reports on the nightly news during the winter months mean nothing to me. I am unmoved. Uninterested. And, most importantly, warm. To this day, the toboggan hangs from the roof of my father’s shed. By my estimation, it’s been there for the past thirty years, waiting for a chance to redeem itself that will never come. It can stay there for thirty more. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Bulldogs shock Stonecats DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn MORNINGTON have secured their second win for the year in a shock result against Frankston YCW. The Bulldogs got off on the right foot with an excellent first term. They went into the first break with a 17 point lead. Frankston YCW struggled badly all afternoon, and were not able to claw their way back into the contest. They scored 0.6 across the second and third quarters of the match. A three goals to zero final quarter saw the gap between the two sides close, but the Stonecats were too far

behind to catch up. The final score read Frankston YCW 5.13 (43) to Mornington 9.4 (58). Matthew Caine proved the difference on the day, kicking five goals on his first game for the year. At the top end of the table, Pines claimed another win to continue their excellent year, They scored a victory over Edithvale-Aspendale at Regents Park. Both sides traded blows in a tight first half, with Pines heading into the half time break up by a point. After the main break the Pythons put their foot on the gas and established a buffer. Pines had to work for it, but they

eventually claimed the win 9.15 (69) to 12.13 (85). Shayne Allan worked hard for EdiAsp and kicked four goals. Luke Potts was named as Pines’ best. At Emil Madsen Reserve, Mt Eliza played host to Sorrento. The Sharks have enjoyed a good year and look among the premiership favourites. They proved that with an impressive five goals to one first term against the Redlegs. With a tough task ahead of them, Mt Eliza did well to stay in touch. They kept Sorrento goalless in the second quarter. After half time the Sharks ran away

with it. A five goals to one third term put the game beyond doubt. Sorrento ended up running away with a 22 point win 6.14 (50) to 10.12 (72). Captain-coach Luke Tapscott was best on ground, scoring four goals. Dromana got back on the winner’s board on Saturday in a low scoring scrap with the Frankston Bombers. Dromana looked to be in trouble early on, and were held to just one behind in the first term. They bounced back in the second, and went into half time five points up. In the second half the Bombers struggled, and couldn’t get the lead

back. They ended up losing to Dromana 4.4 (28) to 7.7 (49). Rosebud hosted Bonbeach at Olympic Park in what would turn out to be a miserable afternoon for Bonbeach. The Sharks were woeful in front of goal, and at the three-quarter time break had failed to register a goal on the scoreboard. They had scored eight behinds without kicking a major. In the final quarter they finally scored a goal but it was little consolation. Bonbeach lost to Rosebud 7.11 (53) to 1.10 (16). Sean Downie kicked two goals, and was named as Rosebud’s best.

Blues fall short against Hillmen DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn HASTINGS have battled hard, but failed to defeat Red Hill at Thomas Barclay Oval on Saturday. The Hillmen have been near impossible to beat in 2019, but Hastings signalled their intent with a good first half. The Blues led at both quarter time and half time, but only by a goal. The Hillmen, who have been by far the best defensive side in the competition, held Hastings scoreless in the third quarter to get back into the contest. Hastings could only put one goal on the board in the final term, and eventually succumbed to defat.

Southern Peninsula News

The final score was Hastings 6.5 (41) to Red Hill 7.10 (52). Daniel Mcnamara was the Hillmen’s best, kicking four goals. Karingal prevailed against Somerville on Saturday, despite performing badly in front of goal. Karingal had the bulk of the scoring opportunities, but failed to capitalise throughout the afternoon. Karingal had 25 scoring shots for the afternoon, while Somerville had just 12. Despite the discrepancy, both sides scored 8 goals for the game. The Bulls got away with their poor goalkicking, and took the win 8.17 (65) to 8.4 (52). At RJ Rowley Reserve, Rye grinded 3 July 2019

out a tough win at home against Devon Meadows. Devon Meadows started poorly and kicked just one behind in the first term, but bounced back to claim the lead by half time. Rye wrestled back control in the third term, and held a slim six point lead heading into the final quarter. They held on to get the win 7.12 (54) to 6.11 (47). Crib Point had a rough day at home against Chelsea, letting themselves down with poor kicking in front of goal. The Magpies, who have struggled throughout the year, had their share of opportunities in front of goal but failed

to make them count. They ended up with just two goals for the afternoon. Chelsea looked much the better side, and did what they needed to do to get the job done. Curtis Bywater was in good form, kicking four. The final scoreboard made for uncomfortable reading for Magpies fans. Chelsea claimed the win 2.12 (24) to 12.12 (84). Langwarrin had a better day at home, overcoming a half time deficit to defeat Tyabb. The Yabbies had a massive second quarter, kicking five goals to give them an eight point lead heading into the second half. Despite the positive signs, they were run over in the sec-

ond half. Langwarrin pushed ahead and claimed all four points with a 13.15 (93) to 11.6 (72) win. Blake Peach and Zach Andrewartha were among the best afield. Seaford travelled to Pearcedale, and had absolutely no trouble putting the home side away. The Tigers did the bulk of the damage in the third quarter, when they smashed Pearcedale with an eight goals to zero term. The final score read Pearcedale 6.3 (39) to Seaford 17.16 (118). Aaron Walton was best on ground, booting six goals for the victorious Seaford side.

From Sacramento to Southern SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie SOUTHERN United just beat last week’s transfer deadline to register two clutch signings in US attacking midfielder Jennifer Lum and teenage holding midfielder Niamh McLure. The transfer window closed at 10am on Thursday and Southern playercoach Melissa Maizels was racing the clock for the club to register her two signings while waiting on news from another two targets. “I spoke to around eight players and was hoping to bring in four but I’m happy with the business we’ve done,” Maizels said. “This is a statement of intent from Southern and it lets people know that this club has big plans for next season.” Maizels had been contacted by an overseas-based player agent a couple of years ago trying to get her to play in the US and a recent contact with that agent led to the signing of Californiabased Lum, 24, who has an impressive scoring record. Southern secured private sponsorship for Lum and is hopeful that she can arrive in time to face South Melbourne on Saturday. The club expects visa approval and flights to be organised shortly. Lum played with Boca 92 juniors and Placer United and at university level with Sacramento State. She has won representative honours and multiple MVP awards. McLure is a former Southern and NTC player and the teenager returns to Monterey Reserve from Box Hill United. She was set to make her debut in Sunday’s away clash with Heidelberg United but the wild weekend weather made the Olympic Village pitch unplayable and all of Southern’s matches (senior and underage) were postponed. In NPL2 news Langwarrin had Scottish import John Baird to thank as he hit the mark twice on debut in the local club’s 2-1 home win over North Geelong last Saturday. The visitors were flying high in the West division of the elite regionalised competition and had gone into this contest just two points behind league leader Werribee City. However they were missing four players from their usual starting 11 including leading scorer Darius Madison. In difficult weather conditions Langy failed to hit the target in the first half while North Geelong couldn’t find a way past home team keeper Fraser

MacLaren. It was a different matter in the second half and just two minutes in an unmarked Baird stole in at the back post for a simple sidefoot volley following a Jordan Templin corner swung over from the left. In the 64th minute Lachie McGrath slid in and levelled from close range following a Morgan Filer shot from the left of the area. But Baird wasn’t done yet and when big Anthony Banovac clattered into Langy target man Max Etheridge in the 70th minute the referee pointed to the spot and the Scot converted. The importance of the win was evident from the reaction of the Langy bench when the final whistle blew and players and coaching staff were still congratulating each other as they walked off to applause from local fans. In State 1 news Doveton’s season continued to unravel when it was comfortably beaten 4-2 by Mornington at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday. Kyrom Kerr, 17, made his senior debut for Mornington and drew praise from head coach Adam Jamieson. “We played Kyrom in centre midfield and took him off with about 15 to go,” Jamieson said. “He had a really good game and he’s a very talented kid.” The contest was put out of Doveton’s reach in the first half. Josh Hine opened the scoring when

he chested down a ball over the top and hammered it home from an angle inside the box. Two Sammy Orritt goals, the second when he ghosted in to strike a Craig Smart free-kick, sent the home side into the changerooms at the interval with a 3-0 lead. Orritt completed his hat-trick in the second period when he scored from the spot. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers had a fine 3-1 away win over Berwick City last weekend and are back in the promotion hunt. Strikers are among a bunching field of runner-up aspirants behind tearaway league leader Boroondara-Carey Eagles. An early Paul McEvoy goal put Berwick City ahead but two Alpha Turay goals in two minutes, both from John Prescott assists, turned this contest around and Antun Vulic’s strike from just outside the area in first-half injury time settled the issue. In State 3 news Skye United pulled off the great escape coming from 2-0 down at half-time to beat Brighton 4-3 in a nerve-jangling contest at Skye Recreation Reserve on Saturday. A great long strike from David Nicholas on the half-hour and a Sean Mulcahy header in the 40th minute had the visitors in control. Nicholas hit the underside of the bar early in the second half but in the 52nd

minute Skye substitute Maxim Avram applied enough pressure following a Mark O’Connor free-kick and the ball was bundled over the line to make it 2-1. Two minutes later Mitch Blake scored following up an Avram strike and although the assistant referee had his flag raised the goal eventually was given. Skye substitute Mikey Turner came on in the 75th minute and three minutes later his looping volley put Skye ahead for the first time. But a mixup at the back in the 83rd minute allowed Nicholas to break into a one-on-one with Skye custodian Jonathan Crook and the Brighton striker made no mistake to make it 3-3. However, there was one last twist to the tale as Blake was brought down in the box in the 94th minute and up stepped Daniel Walsh who is yet to miss from the spot this season and he buried the winner for Skye’s ninth win in 10 games. Frankston Pines lost 2-0 away to Bayside Argonauts on Saturday. Nothing can take away from a poor Pines’ performance but the club was bitterly disappointed with a series of refereeing decisions. In State 4 news Dandenong South defeated Baxter 3-2 at Tatterson Park last weekend while Seaford United’s away clash with Rowville Eagles was washed out.

ROUND 15

Baxter’s goals came from Lawrence Komba and substitute Abdull Darmanii but Dandenong grabbed the winner in the 87th minute. Central defensive pairing Izaak Barr and Matt McDermott could return from injury for Baxter’s home match on Saturday against Rowville Eagles. In State 5 news a Kieran Hughes hat-trick spearheaded Aspendale Stingrays’ thumping 7-0 home win over Pakenham United on Saturday. Aspendale was 5-0 up after 32 minutes and cruised throughout the second half. Other scorers were Kenan Nuhanovic (2), Ryan Mravljak and Ben Garside Weinert. In another State 5 match what should have been a celebration of a remarkable goalscoring milestone from ace striker and player-coach David Greening turned into a nightmare last weekend when Somerville lost 3-0 away to Knox United and Greening was sent off after receiving a second caution in the second half. The refereeing contributed to the stop-start nature of this contest as the match official regularly stopped play to talk to the Somerville bench. Bad light forced the match to be called off in the 79th minute but the result seems certain to stand. Greening’s send-off couldn’t have come at a worse time as he’ll miss Saturday’s clash with league leader Old Mentonians. Football Victoria will only promote the league champion this season as it undertakes a major league restructure so Somerville’s season could hinge on the outcome of this fixture. Rosebud’s away clash with Tullamarine on Saturday was washed out in both the seniors and reserves. This weekend’s games: FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Skye Utd v Ashburton Utd (Skye Recreation Reserve), Frankston Pines v Whitehorse Utd (Monterey Reserve). SATURDAY, 3pm: Langwarrin v Murray United (Lawton Park), Casey Comets v Mornington (Comets Stadium), Peninsula Strikers v Monbulk Rangers (Centenary Park), Baxter v Rowville Eagles (Baxter Park), Seaford Utd v Dingley Stars (North Seaford Reserve), Old Mentonians v Somerville Eagles (Mentone Grammar), Tullamarine v Aspendale Stingrays (Melrose Drive Reserve), Casey Panthers v Rosebud (Prospect Hill Reserve). SATURDAY, 3.30pm: South Melbourne v Southern Utd (Lakeside Stadium).
