Paper works BALUK Arts’ Lisa Waup, left, shows off her Kart Koodin display at Frankston Arts Centre. A Boon Warrung word meaning “paper”, it is, fittingly, part of the Works on Paper exhibition running until Saturday 22 August on the arts centre’s Curved Wall. Large, earthy contemporary Indigenous works on paper reflect country, connection, history and culture. Another exhibition: Mungan Bayside Bush Sculptures displays woven and sculpted animals created from traditional and contemporary materials. The range of animals inspired by the bayside and peninsula regions was created from grasses, wool and string. It includes echidna, crab, seal and native dogs. The exhibition runs until Sunday 2 August at Glass Cube, Cube 37, Frankston Arts Centre, Davey St, Frankston. The project has been supported by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Creative Community Grants Program 2014 – 2015. Picture: Gary Sissons

Political power on the line Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au VOTERS could be forgiven for thinking the state election campaign between the major parties has not ended eight months after the Andrews Labor government defeated the previous Napthine Coalition government to win power. Labor and Liberal politicians were out in force last week along the Frankston line pushing opposing mes-

sages about the separation of level crossings from roadways. Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke joined Acting Premier James Merlino at the Overton Rd, Frankston crossing last Friday morning to blast the Liberals and Greens “who opposed getting rid of these level crossings once and for all”. A crowd of partisan protesters, many wearing Labor Party guernseys, waved placards criticising the Liberals and Greens for “standing in the way” of crossings removals.

Several media releases issued last week by Labor also claimed: “Last month, Coalition and Greens MPs teamed up in Parliament to oppose the removal of these crossings.” As is often the case in politics, appearances can be deceptive. The Coalition and the Greens voted against the privatisation of the Port of Melbourne last month, not the removal of level crossings across Victoria’s rail network. The Liberals went to last year’s

state election promising to remove 40 level crossings but Labor is relying on the estimated $5 billion to pay for its pledge to remove 50 “dangerous and congested” level crossings by 2023 across the state with 20 planned to go within four years. Opposition leader Matthew Guy is not opposed to the privatisation of the Port of Melbourne but prefers a 3040 year lease term, not a 50-year term plus 20-year option being proposed by Labor.

The Coalition is also concerned about compensation that would be payable to the new Port of Melbourne owners if a second container port is built in Victoria. While Labor is playing politics with its claims that the Coalition voted against level crossings removals, Liberal attacks on crossings grade separations not being started mere months after November’s state election are somewhat premature.

Dooley leaves Labor

Making a point: NBA all-star and Miami Heat player Luol Deng gives basketball tips at a training session at the Frankston Basketball Stadium. Picture: Gary Sissons

Slam dunk for basketball comp BASKETBALL royalty visited Frankston last week when NBA two-time all-star Luol Deng gave a training masterclass to South Sudan born youngsters at the Frankston Basketball Stadium. The 30-year-old Miami Heat player, a six feet eight inches “small forward”, was at the Seaford stadium on Friday before the weekend’s South Sudanese Australian National Classic featuring 35 teams from across the country. Deng also formally announced the signing of NBL club Melbourne United’s first ever South Sudanese Australian player, Majok Majok.

Majok was born in South Sudan, and moved to Perth with his family as a boy. After playing high school and college basketball in the US and a pro season in Europe, Melbourne United has added the 22-year-old to their roster. Multicultural Affairs Minister Robin Scott said Majok can be “a great role model and inspiration” for Victorian youth with South Sudanese and wider Horn of African origin. “The South Sudanese community in Victoria is a very proud one. They love their sports, particularly basketball, and I’m told that our young South Sudanese players are some of the most athletic in the state.”

LONG-TIME Labor Party member Cr James Dooley has let his party membership lapse and has decided he can best represent Frankston as an independent councillor. The North-West Ward councillor said it is vital to be able to speak to both sides of politics to get the best possible outcomes for Frankston. “I need to be able to talk to both sides and they need to know they’re not going to be compromised when they talk to me [but] I need to be very frank and fearless in what I say and not have to worry about other agendas and all that stuff. “It’s really about doing the best for the people of Frankston.” Cr Dooley missed out on pre-selection to Paul Edbrooke as Labor’s candidate to contest last November’s state election after initial candidate Helen Constas dropped out amid revelations that bullying allegations against Constas by a former work colleague had been settled out of court. Former firefighter Paul Edbrooke was a surprise candidate out of left field and narrowly won the seat of Frankston for Labor in November. Mr Edbrooke’s former Labor comrade Cr Dooley noted the state government has not yet allocated money for major Frankston projects such as the train station precinct redevelopment in forward budget plans. He hopes major progress on the $63 million redevelopment of the station and Young St can be seen soon. Neil Walker

Joe in for Allan JAZZ pianist Allan Zavod has been replaced by Joe Chindamo for the masterclass and concert program at

Monash University’s peninsula campus on Sunday 13 September. Chindamo has been described as a musical polyglot in the tradition of Bernstein and Previn, and one of the best jazz pianists in the world. He has composed concertos, chamber music and film music; and recorded 23 CDs; collaborated with artists such as James Morrison, Ray Brown (of Oscar Peterson fame) and the Brecker Brothers. For more information and tickets, call 9568 7190.

Four more years COUNCIL has formally reappointed CEO Dennis Hovenden for a further four years. Councillors unanimously decided to give Mr Hovenden a new contract when his existing deal ends at the end of October. The reappointment was flagged earlier this year (‘Longer stay for CEO under contract plan’, The Times 25/5/15) and comes after Mr Hovenden received a near 10 per cent pay rise, up from $297,000 to $325,000, in April. Mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said Mr Hovenden, who joined Frankston Council from Swan Hill Rural City Council in September 2012, is “a huge asset” to the municipality and his extended stay provides “stability” for council. “Mr Hovenden has saved the organisation millions of dollars through his sound financial management, creating opportunities for advocacy and community engagement, along with overseeing $180 million dollars in construction projects.” The CEO’s remuneration of $325,000 which includes superannuation and the use of a council vehicle remains unchanged.

Serve for tennis centre plan Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au IT is far from game, set and match for a proposed $14 million tennis centre at Centenary Park despite Frankston Tennis Club members agreeing to vacate the club’s Hastings Rd site. The club’s tennis courts are situated next to Frankston Hospital and it is expected that the next stage of the hospital’s expansion will see Peninsula Health buy the council-owned land, leased by the tennis club, by the end of the decade. Frankston Council is pushing for a regional tennis centre to be built at Centenary Park. Frankston Tennis Club would merge with Frankston East Tennis Club at the centre. Council is pushing ahead with plans for a tennis complex featuring 16 floodlit courts, a new sporting pavilion to house the Centenary Park Golf Club, upgraded car parking and two synthetic lawn bowls greens but there is no guarantee federal and state funding will be forthcoming to make the $14 million dream a reality. Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said the $14 million project is very much council’s idea at this stage. “I have not been approached formally in regard to a business case or request for funding,” he said. “I’d much rather see the council sort out some existing issues like the funding for the Frankston Basketball Stadium, which includes $2.5 million of state government money still waiting to be spent.” Mr Edbrooke’s federal counterpart,

Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson, appears to be on a unity ticket with Labor with regards to government funding for the tennis centre. Mr Billson said there had been early preliminary talks but no detail had been provided as yet. “The idea that other levels of government would step up to fund the latest multi-million dollar idea that Frankston Council has is an interesting strategy,” he said. “I imagine at some point everyone will be asking council to prioritise its major wish list of major spending ideas that it’s hoping someone else will pay for.” The Labor state government is investing $63 million in a redevelopment of the Frankston train station precinct and Young St alongside a $46.9 million first stage upgrade of the Frankston campus of Chisholm TAFE. Federal funding for such a major infrastructure project may be involved at some future stage. Peninsula Health seems in no rush to expand Frankston Hospital further in the wake of the opening of a new $81 million emergency department earlier this year. Peninsula Health planning, infrastructure & IT executive director Simon Brewin said the public healthcare provider is finalising its Strategic Clinical Service Plan including developments for the next ten years. The plan is likely to include a further expansion of Frankston Hospital to meet rising service demands by Frankston and Mornington Peninsula patients.

“The acquisition of the land currently leased to the Frankston Tennis Club will be the subject of discussion at some future point between Frankston Council and state government via the Department of Health and Human Services.” No formal offer to buy the land has been made. Council is spruiking the $14 million regional tennis centre at Centenary Park as “a community Country Club style project”. “Our vision is for a modern tennis centre that caters for the membership base of both clubs, attracts new members and participants, can be a regional high performance training base and also host state and national events,” the mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said. “Given the easy access to Centenary Park from Peninsula Link, this is the ideal location for a regional facility, however the scope of the project will be determined by how much funding state and federal governments can commit alongside council’s contribution. “We will only get one chance to get this relocation right, and that means creating a centre that will service Frankston and the wider region for many years to come.” An upgrade of Frankston Basketball Stadium was listed as a top priority in council’s pre-state election Stand Up For Frankston campaign - during which council lobbied both major political parties to invest in Frankston - but there was no mention of a $14 million regional tennis centre.

Crash sight: A BMW sedan lost its wheels in a single vehicle crash on Peninsula Link last week. Picture: Gary Sissons

Wheelie bad crash THE force of the impact ripped the wheels of this BMW sedan when it ran off the road onto grass at the intersection of Peninsula Link and Frankston Freeway north bound on Wednesday (8 July). It appears the car was travelling at high speed and failed to take the corner. Patterson River CFA attended the scene and bound tape around the car. Senior Constable Damien O’Brien,

of Frankston Highway Patrol, said police had “no idea” how the accident happened but “I think 100kph would have been fast enough to do that sort of damage,” he said. Police have spoken to the owner who confirmed the car had not been stolen. They are “not sure” who was driving at the time. “It’s early days yet,” Senior Constable O’Brien said. It’s believed no charges are pending.

Parties not on the level Continued from Page 1 Liberal MPs, including South Eastern Metropolitan Region Inga Peulich and Mornington MP David Morris, last week criticised Labor for not having level crossings removal works “shovel ready” immediately after the state election. Labor is working its way through removing the 20 level crossings promised in its first term of government, a major infrastructure works undertaking, and it is hardly surprising visible

work has not yet started at several sites considering the complex logistics involved. Tenders have been awarded for separation works to begin soon on the majority of the 20 level crossings to be urgently removed and it will be all too apparent and visible to voters whether Labor keeps its election promise no matter what the Coalition claims to the contrary by the time the next state election, in 2018 at the latest, takes place. The campaigning around level

crossings on the Frankston line, three years out from the next state election, shows that the marginal bayside seats of Frankston, Carrum, Mordialloc and Bentleigh could once again ultimately hold the balance of power for the major parties to win or retain power. A long hard political campaign by both Labor and the Liberals in the region to convince voters they can be trusted to ease public transport congestion seems unavoidable with so much on the line for the parties.

Children priority for care plan

In brief

Oh for a good night’s sleep

Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au SOME of the most disadvantaged children in Frankston will get much-needed support thanks to a Communities for Children plan by Anglicare Victoria. Federal Social Affairs Minister Scott Morrison visited Frankston this month to announce the Coalition government will commit $4.9 million over five years to support Anglicare’s work to help vulnerable children thanks to Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson’s “strong representations”. “Communities for Children Frankston operates within our local community to address issues of family vulnerability and violence impacting on children, through parent education, transitions, and child wellbeing programmes,” Mr Billson said. “Communities for Children Frankston helps vulnerable local children and families reach their potential. I am passionate about the programmes run in Frankston and have advocated fiercely for this service.” After the launch of the Communities for Children plan Mr Morrison met community groups and government agency staff to discuss Frankston projects to help the disadvantaged. Mr Billson said Communities for Children Frankston aims to ensure “your postcode doesn’t determine your potential”. In the same week Mr Morrison visited Frankston, Save The Children opened an op shop in Playne St.

Frankston lobbies against port plans Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au Game on: Arcade game adversaries Donkey Kong (Paul Edbrooke) and Mario (Sean Armistead) take a break in political hostilities to catch up for a drink. Pic digitally altered by Gary Sissons

It’s on like Donkey Kong ANY goodwill between Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke and narrowly defeated Liberal candidate for Frankston Sean Armistead has disappeared in the wake of comments made by Mr Edbrooke in Parliament. The pair had been on friendly terms in the immediate aftermath of Mr Edbrooke’s victory in last year’s state election with Mr Armistead calling the Labor man “a gentleman throughout the campaign�. When speaking about the state budget in Parliament late last month, Mr Edbrooke turned his attention to Mr Armistead’s Facebook page which, he claimed, “has more pictures of me on it than mine has�. Mr Edbrooke said Mr Armistead is “an aspiring politician waiting for his party to feed him a rubbish opinion. I note that he now suffers from relevance deprivation on Facebook.� Mr Armistead, who missed out on winning the seat of Frankston by less than 200 votes, has taken to social media to continue to push the Liberals’ cause in the months after the state election. In Parliament, Frankston MP Mr Edbrooke listed Labor

projects such as the TAFE Rescue Fund as showing “it’s on like Donkey Kong in Frankstonâ€? while talking about Mr Armistead’s Facebook page. When contacted by The Times Mr Armistead said he found Mr Edbrooke’s comments “bizarreâ€?. “I think it’s bizarre that the member for Frankston is wasting Parliamentary time carping about me as a former candidate,â€? he said. “In my mind it really shows how inexperienced or naĂŻve he is as a new member of Parliament.â€? He said he would continue “to hold him [Mr Edbrooke] to accountâ€? when he believed Labor is not delivering on its pre-election promises to the Frankston community. The phrase “It’s on like Donkey Kongâ€?, a reference to an arcade game first released by Nintendo in 1981, commonly means “that it’s time to throw down or compete at a high level; something is about to go downâ€? according to online slang words dictionary Urban Dictionary. Former N.W.A. hip hop group member Ice Cube coined the term “It’s on like Donkey Kongâ€? in his 1992 rap song Now I Gotta Wet’Cha. Neil Walker

FRANKSTON Council says its call for a container port at Hastings is based on economic benefits and concern for the environment. The mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said on Friday that the state government’s “commendable� plan to remove rail level crossings “should not come at the expense of the south east and in particular Frankston City�. Before the November 2014 state election Frankston was touting itself as the logical commercial hub for an expanded port at Hastings. But those dreams have faded with the Labor government planning to lease the Port of Melbourne along with a promise of no new competitive port for 50 years. Infrastructure Victoria will investigate whether a container port is eventually best built at Bay West, in north of Geelong in Port Phillip or Hastings. In the lead-up to the 2014 election Labor favoured Bay West. Cr Mayer said Frankston Council had written to all members of the Legislative Council urging them to block the government’s bill for a long-term lease of the Port of Melbourne. “A long-term lease will effectively kill off the Port of Hastings expansion for the foreseeable future, and that means killing off a major employment boost in our region,� she said. “In addition, if the Port of Melbourne

remains our state’s only major port, further destructive dredging will be necessary at the Port Phillip Heads to cater for larger container ships, potentially having a serious impact on the Mornington Peninsula tourism industry.â€? State and federal Liberal MPs have claimed the seabed at the Heads will need to be blasted to provide sufficient depth for larger ships. However, logistics experts from Victoria University who say the world’s largest ships will never come to Melbourne. Cr Mayer also makes no mention of the estimated 24 million cubic metres of dredging required in Western Port for a container port at Hastings. “Given the Mornington Peninsula region was recently voted one of the world’s top 20 destinations by National Geographic, anything that jeopardises our local environment would be grossly irresponsible,â€? Cr Mayer said. Following in the wake of the scaling down of the Port of Hastings Development Authority Cr Mayer said her council wants a resumption of the studies into the Port of Hastings. â€œâ€Ś If blocking the legislation in the upper house is the best way of doing so then council supports this move,â€? Cr Mayer said. “Given the potential environmental impacts of dredging at the Port Phillip Heads this is a matter of state wide importance and I ask all members of the Legislative Council to vote in the best interests of Victoria.â€?

LETTERS Point disappointment

Labor to blame

It is disappointing that the Point Leisure Group's concept project for Point Nepean will not now proceed and, as indicated in media reports, with it goes the opportunity for the youth of the southern Mornington Peninsula to obtain meaningful local employment (‘Pt Nepean looks back to 2010 plan’, The Times 6/7/15). The Point Leisure Group participated in an open tender process, with its proposed project assessed by the state-government appointed evaluation panel as meeting/exceeding the evaluation criteria. If it is now considered by some that the Point Leisure Group's project was "too big and inappropriate for the site", one can only hazard a guess as to how "bigger and more inappropriate" or non-conforming the unsuccessful proposals were. From the well patronised local community meetings that I attended in regard to the project, continued public access to the non-commercial areas of the national park was never at risk, which clearly is in contrast with the comments attributed to the director of the Victorian National Parks Association. Perhaps the only real difference between Parks Victoria and the Point Leisure Group assuming management is that responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the national park would have seen the Point Leisure Group paying the $1m (approx) annual maintenance cost for the next 50 or so years, rather than amount coming from the state (public) purse through Parks Victoria. Intriguingly, Kate Baillieu is quoted by The Times as saying she has expectations that the state government will, in respect of the 2010 master plan, "make it available for the public to see what had been agreed on and, basically, get on with it". Does Ms Baillieu really think that the current state government - or any government for that matter - will allocate any funds to undertake restorative works at Point Nepean? With so much current demand upon the state's finances, only the private sector will undertake restorative work at Point Nepean during our lifetimes and, to achieve that, the scale, scope

Rupert Steiner gives far too much praise to the Abbott government, crediting it with, in less than two years, wrecking the manufacturing economy and now going after the education system (‘Dumbing down’, Letters, The Times 29/6/15). I suggest he casts his net a little wider, say, several years before the present government to the Rudd/Gillard years. He will discover that neither manufacturing nor education were enhanced at all, but we were left with huge debts and deficits that will have to be repaid by our children and grandchildren, in the form of increased taxes and reduced government services. Michael Long, Frankston

Towers over holes

A planned luxury resort development at Point Nepean has been scrapped after the Andrews Labor government failed to reach an agreement with the Point Leisure Group.

and viability of its underlying project will need to be of sufficient dimension so as the restoration costs invested can be recouped through its business model. Perhaps following another protracted tender process, the Point Leisure Group's proposal could well be subsequently proven as being a very good solution for the national park but, I suspect we, the community, will never, ever know. Peter T Curtin, Sorrento

which has still not apologised to the people of Victoria for the $400 million compensation debt it placed around our necks for the East West tunnel debacle. Incidentally, the site of the photo [of Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and Nepean MP Martin Dixon] if my memory serves me right, used to be a toilet. Some would say not a very appropriate place for pollies to have photo taken. Others would differ. John Cain, McCrae

Happy with loss

Limit watch

I for one am very glad that the planned multimillion dollar inappropriate development of Point Nepean is not to go ahead (‘Pt Nepean looks back to 2010 plan’, The Times 6/7/15). It was always going to be about the “jet setting polo set” and never for the likes of you and me. The million dollars compensation that we, as Victorians, have to pay is once again an example of arrogance by the then Liberal government

Wait a minute, we have been led to believe that the number of confusing speed limits will be reduced throughout. Now Somerville has four different speed limits on Eramosa Rd East within just one kilometre. Roll up and pay your speed fines folks. Meanwhile try not to hit anything while you're watching your speedo instead of the road. Aussie Sadler, Mornington

The only conclusion I can draw from the announcement by our Minister for the Environment [and Liberal MP for Flinders, Greg Hunt] that a wind farm commissioner will be appointed to look into the effects of the wind turbines on human health is that our winds or turbines must be different. There are thousands of wind farms overseas. Many inquiries have been held and there is no evidence that they affect human health. Is it possible our government is finding every obstacle to the production of renewable energy because they want to sell dirty black coal? The prime minister [Tony Abbott] does not like wind towers. Clearly he prefers the stacks and smoke from coal burning generators. Or his latest idea of producing wood chips to burn instead. This is not clean renewable energy and also produces CO2 and particle pollution. Unfortunately, investment in renewable energy, because of the above, has dropped by almost 90 per cent from 2014. I found a photograph of a 20 mile line of solar panels, three abreast, providing shelter for cyclists and renewable energy for South Koreans. A carefully designed project. Wake up Australia.

Second opinion helps keep investments smart

THE ATO is encouraging investors to seek independent professional advice before signing up to ‘tax effective schemes’ in case they turn out to be something they are not. Deputy Commissioner Tim Dyce said with these illegal tax schemes becoming increasingly sophisticated, getting the right advice is more important than ever. “We see many illegal tax schemes, which are often cleverly ‘dressed up’ as seemingly legitimate arrangements. These could have impact on your financial security, family and lifestyle”. The ATO knows the majority of its clients want to do the right thing and it is their job to help make people aware

of their responsibilities and show them ways to manage their tax affairs more easily. There are two new videos which do just that. “The videos are about recognising the features of aggressive tax planning arrangements. They help people know what to look out for when investing and encourage our clients to always seek a second opinion if something ‘seems too good to be true’,” Mr Dyce said. “Smart investing these days needs to be more than just trusting your instincts.” “Don’t get caught out; make sure you do your research, and get a second opinion from an independent adviser such as

a tax agent, financial adviser or us,” Mr Dyce said. The ATO can help by providing support and advice and is committed to dealing with those who actively avoid their tax and super obligations. Remember to protect what matters most; your financial security, lifestyle and family-they’re not worth risking if you’re not sure. Contact the ATO or someone that is not connected to the arrangement. You can also refer anything suspicious to the ATO. View the videos at ato.gov.au/secondopinion or to report a scheme or promoter, call 1800 177 006.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston state school tidied up Compiled by Melissa Walsh MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold an extensive clearing sale of farm implements, machinery, live stock, vehicles, and household furniture, on Wednesday, July 28th, on account of Mr G. W. Booth, (who has leased his farm), of Cricklewood, Frankston. Full particulars are advertised in this issue. *** CAPTAIN Sherlock has received word by the last mail, from his son Robert, that he has joined the 226th Company of Royal Engineers, Chatham, and is by this time at the front. *** ON Wednesday, 24th Messrs Brody and Mason will sell, at their rooms, Bay street Frankston, live stock &c in the estate of Henry Maudesley deceased, under instructions from the Curator of estates of deceased persons, vide advertisement appearing in another column. *** WE regret to have to announce the death of Captain Panter, R.N. at his residence “ Voongan” Toorak Road, Malvern. The deceased gentleman had for upwards of 25 years resided at “Jerula” but of late spent his winter in Malvern. As Captain of the Royal Navy he brought out the Cerberus to Australia. Among other public positions he held was that of one of the expert assessors to the Marine Court of Victoria. For some time he was a member of the Council for the North Riding of the

Shire of Frankston and Hastings. He leaves a wife and seven daughters to mourn their loss. *** LAST week we published a report of a very successful meeting at Frankston, conducted by the Shire of Frankston and Hastings Recruiting Committee at which Sir John Madden and Sir William Irvine delivered addresses. We have received reports from Somerville and Hastings of meetings subsequently held in these places under the auspices of the same Committee, details of which appear in another column. The President of the Shire (Cr W. J. Oates) and the Hon Sec (Dr Plowman) are to be congratulated on the success which has accompanied their efforts. *** WE call the attention of our readers to a preliminary advertisement in another column which announces that under the auspices of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings Recruiting Committee, Major T. S. Marshall, Chief of the Country Fire Brigades, will deliver a lecture on The War, at Frankston, on Monday, July 26th. The lecture will be copiously illustrated, and is one of great interest. Full particulars will be given in our next issue, *** NOWHERE around Langwarrin has there been such steady progress during the past few years than along the main artery which connects Cranbourne with Frankston. Land has been selected, fenced and cleaned, small,

suitable spots converted into garden and orchards. Young men of the type of Messrs Cain (2) Holy, and Stephenson, have settled to the work like veterans, and deserve warm praise for their success in subduing the forest. The older settlers are putting up more substantial buildings, and some of the property is now worth double it was five years ago. The bad season we have passed through has only stimulated the old residents with new energy, and more cultivation plots are now seen. Passing along into Cranbourne the country looks beautiful and green, the crops being very robust, of good color and grass starting with growth. Thanks to the efforts of the Cranbourne Shire Councillors, the road is now much improved, and the residents bear grateful testimony to the Councillors for their efforts. *** THE boys of the Frankston State School, under the direction of Mr Richardson, have done some useful work tidying up part of the reserve where the big fire did so much damage a few weeks ago. The Government has sent a parcel of trees and shrubs for planting, and the secretary of the Progress Association, Mr W. Gregory, is arranging for a bee for planting these. We understand that it is the intention to have some planted in the above-named reserve and some in the reserve opposite the Post Office. *** AT the Somerville market, last Wednesday, conducted by Messrs

Brody and Mason, Mr Henry Hawken brought a pair of fowls, which he handed to the auctioneer, to be disposed of in aid of the Red Cross Fund. After a preliminary “raffle” the birds were handed back for sale, these passed through fifteen patriotic gentlemen who in turn handed them back. As a result the firm were enabled to hand a cheque to the Treasurer (Mrs G. E. Shepherd), at Somerville, for £4 3s. At the termination of the transaction, three lusty cheers were given for Mr Hawken. *** MESSRS A. Scott and Co. and Messrs Powers, Rutherford and Co. in conjunction, will hold a large clearing sale at “Belawa,” Mornington Road, on the 23rd July next, full particulars of which will be found in our advertising columns. *** A PUBLIC meeting will he held on Monday, 19th July, in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, by the Women’s Christian Union and the Rechabite Lodge in conjunction, for the purpose of passing resolutions on the early closing question. The Hon. S. Mauger will give an address, and there will be music, songs and recitations during the evening. Cr W. J. Ontes will occupy the chair. *** THE inaugural meeting of the Mornington Junction miniature rifle club was held on the 7th inst. Owing to several other meetings being held elsewhere there were not as many intending members present as expected.

Those who did attend enrolled and paid the 1st annual subscription which was fixed at 2s 6d. For the convenience of those who did not attend, it was decided to have the list of members left at the local post office where they may enroll and pay their subscriptions. The meeting was then adjourned to Wednesday, July, 21st at 8 p.m. that all may take part in the election of officers. A full attendance is requested. *** AT the Cafe Francis, Swanston street, Melbourne, on Friday evening last, Directors of the Vacuum Oil Co. Pty. Ltd. entertained at dinner the travelling staff of the executive officers of the Victorian Branch. Mr C. A. Moser, the managing director, presided, and during the evening presented a costly case of cutlery to Mr J. B. Jolly of Frankston. In the course of his speech, Mr Moser said, for the months of April, May and June, the directors of the company had offered valuable prizes, for a selling contest amongst the thirty-two Victorian representatives of the company and the first prize had been won and won in brilliant fashion by Mr J. B. Jolly, who was a salesman that would be summed up in four letters A.R.E.A this area stood for Ability, Reliability, Endurance and Action, and all these qualities Mr Jolly possessed.

A Grain of Salt Same-sex marriage, the big question? I’ve worked with many homosexual people as an actor over the years but other than their talent their sexual preferences were insignificant. I attended one marriage ceremony and yes, I wondered why, but only a passing thought. I married after a 5-year relationship and while there was a sexual element there was also a strong ignorant desire for children. Some heterosexual couples did not have this “family” preference, a question of choice, or personal drive. In my time (specifically the 1950s) there was very little deep thought. You met a female, you liked her; more importantly she adored you, so married, led there in retrospect by society’s unwritten laws, but happy enough. It’s surely at least arguable whether or not a married heterosexual couple are better qualified to raise children; apparently most are, but many are not? The lottery of life. Aristotle said we should approach our wives gravely and wisely for fear lest we unhinge our reason by arousing them too lasciviously, the short term danger of voluptuous and unremitting pleasure. (Short-term being around two years, but again, variable?) Socrates, in answer to whether it was appropriate to take a wife, answered “whichever you do, you will be sorry”. Strange response. As always however, the genital activities of men and women, although necessary and part of the mind’s everyday activities of the vast majority, are in fact classified as unmentionables. Thus, I apply my “living next door to me” principle. No problem, therefore, let them marry; vote yes. There’s a car park next door to me.

*** Would that I could enjoy bowls or woodwork, fishing, gardening, long walks, bird watching, anything to escape those winds and bucketing rain; the inevitability of a power blackout. I have a bad back and I cannot blame Cupid; he deserted me long ago. My body has assumed control. I listen; I have no choice. I’m in constant argument on smoking but losing there too. Beer or coffee without a cigarette is Un-Australian; my necessity for cheerfulness being challenged. Fear of the “grim face” attitude, feeding on misfortune, increased levels of self-pity. The ever present fight for the necessary attitude of positivity. ”The value of life lies not in the length of days, but the use we make of them” [Michel Montaigne]. Well said Michel, but you didn’t experience July here, or Tony Abbott’s crusade of fear, or the real mafia (electricity, gas and water retailers) or the panic attack of another Hawthorn premiership. *** I shake my head in disbelief. I shouldn’t, but again I fall for the trap, temporarily forgetting the historical stupidity of governments. No smoking in prisons after months in the planning process; what on earth did they talk about? It beggars belief they didn’t anticipate the riot. “Shocking and disgraceful” said Danny Andrews, vowing to uncover the reasons for the unrest, with a report due in November? Email me Danny and I’ll tell you in one sitting; you pay for petrol. Save a fortune on meetings. *** Two friends were adamant after the ABC‘s Q&A Zaky Mallah episode

“Chuck him out of the country” etc. All I saw were similar words from little known Liberal politician Steven Ciobo and Mallah responding followed by the furore and Tony’s perfect opportunity to further his political scare campaign including his wish to have our ABC be an extension of News Limited. I’m reminded of Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act dealing with harmful speech on the grounds it burdened freedom of expression, Attorney-General Uncle George Brandis arguing in support of his attempted amendments to the Racial Discrimination Act: “Everyone is entitled to be a bigot”. Clearly we can say what we like, but not anything Tony doesn’t like? Fear of terror, wind farms, unions and the ABC. How about fear of Alan Jones? Forget this early election nonsense and the likelihood of an ABC comedy titled At Home with Tony. *** Our wonderful Government is sniffing at the heels of independent union representatives on industry superannuation funds suggesting they be replaced by financial experts? Janet Albrechtsen? Union funds are outperforming commercial funds. Yes, certain to be shonkies hidden among the union funds bosses, but anything run by financial experts (is there such an animal?) will be a step to the detriment. Beware. *** Some things bear repeating: How to close down a democracy (Naomi Wolf, The Guardian).. “invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy, create a gulag, employ security contractors, set up a surveillance system, harass citizen groups, in-

By Cliff Ellen troduce arbitrary detention, control the media and believe that dissent equals treason”. The good news? Like Keating, Howard, Rudd and Gillard, Tony’s day will come. Sooner rather than later, please. *** Cato the Younger (long before Shakespeare’s birth) “we can judge a man’s character much better from his conversation than his physiognomy”...Former union leader Kathy Jackson has become an undischarged bankrupt?...$300 billion euros debt; sell Mykonos?..Maybe a Royal Commission on “right of way” assumptions by females with

trolleys at Woolworths?...I’m a patient man - sooner or later our PM will explain his contention his Liberal Party are best at managing the economy...They play a hard game at Direct Endoscopy Frankston. A request for a second two biscuit pack was met with “only one per person”...I often wonder what a “mature” discussion is... “The time will come when people will not listen to sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires and will collect themselves more and more teachers who will tell them what they are itching to hear” [2 Timothy 4:3]. ...hooroo...cliffie9@bigpond. com Frankston Times 13 July 2015

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

International economics explained: Greece is the word By Stuart McCullough SPARE a thought for Greece. Sadly, it seems there’s a very real chance they may soon be tapped on the shoulder and politely asked to gather their things before exiting the Eurozone. It prompts the question, where are they supposed to go? There are plenty of zones out there, not all of them suitable for a sovereign nation. It’ll be no good if, after leaving the Eurozone, Greece enters the Twilight Zone. Worse still would be if they got stuck with professional beardo Kenny Loggins on his ‘Highway to the Dangerzone’. That’s about as appealing as the thought of a jump-suited Maverick man-spreading in the cockpit of an Air Force fighter jet, mumbling under his breath about ‘the need for speed’. Thanks but no thanks. There’s a real risk that Greece could end up in the friend-zone which, as we all know only too well, sucks immensely. But, unbelievably, it could be worse. If Greece is super unlucky, they could end up in the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Talk about awkward! You couldn’t so much as take out the bins without nosey-parker neighbours on both sides wondering what you were up to. Or maybe its luck will turn and Greece will leave the Eurozone, with its weird currency and fondness for shoes without socks, and end up in the erogenous zone instead. We can only hope. No matter which way you look at it, being thrown out of your economic region is a pretty spectacular kick in the financial pants. Things may be in a mess, economically speaking, but before anyone gets too carried away,

everyone should pause, take a deep breath and get a little perspective. Greece has done a lot for which we should all be grateful. I’m not talking about souvlaki, Nana Mouskouri or Greek mythology, even though each of those things is undeniably fantastic. Rather, I’m talking about democracy,

which Greece pretty much invented. If you’re going to have an idea, you might as well make it a cracker. And democracy is, if nothing else, an absolute rip-snorter of an idea. In contrast to Australia, Greece can’t rely on vast deposits of mineral wealth to sustain it. But it is responsible for

the best idea for government that anyone’s ever had. In a fairer world, Greece would receive a healthy dividend from every nation on the planet that has chosen to blatantly plunder its intellectual property. Establishing the foundations for Western civilization ought to earn you at least a few brownie points, if not something a little more fiscally solid. Much like residuals that are sent out to former sitcom stars, Greece should be able to survive comfortably for the rest of its days. Strangely though, its achievements are rarely recognized. That’s because the rest of the world has a tendency to disparage democracy even as they enjoy its spoils. Winston Churchill claimed that the best argument against democracy with a five-minute conversation with the average voter. He also claimed that democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others. Clearly, Winston was trying to haggle over the licensing fee by first talking down the product. He should have simply coughed up and sent a bunch of flowers to the Greek nation with a note that simply read, ‘thanks’. But it’s not just Winston Churchill sinking the boots in to Greece’s greatest export. Giorgio Armani was once quoted as saying that, ‘Jeans represent democracy in fashion.’ I don’t exactly know what that means, but given the acid-wash debacle of 1988 – 1992 (of which I was a victim) it can’t possibly be good. Whether or not Greece remains part of the Eurozone should not be determined by mere economics. If it were up to me, these things would be decid-

ed by a European-wide vote, kind of like Eurovision. On second thoughts, I think that this is exactly the kind of intractable problem that should be resolved at Eurovision. Nations who get the least votes should not merely be shamed in a worldwide broadcast to billions of people; they should be relegated out of Europe to another continent. That, I feel, is fair. Given the generally high standard of their entries, Greece would remain securely fixed in the European firmament while Britain and their risible dirge would see them relegated from Europe to Africa or maybe Antarctica and having to do the hard yards to be re-admitted. As it goes for Davis Cup, so it should go for international economics. There is, of course, one other option if you want to restructure your debt: a name change. Businesses do it all the time as a way of hitting the ‘refresh’ button and leaving the past behind. Prince Roger Nelson did it to escape a recording contract he regarded as oppressive. I’m not sure if a country has ever changed its name to an unpronounceable symbol, but ‘the artist formerly known as Greece’ has a definite ring to it. There are heaps of options: you could name it after a Greek philosopher like Socrates, Plato or Aristotle, all of whom have contributed so much to civilized thought. Or, if that doesn’t work, call the joint ‘Westeros’ instead. I don’t mean to make light of such turmoil: these are uncertain times for a great country. You can only hope that someone, somewhere will find a way forward. Best wishes to all. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

COURTNEY BARNETT: ‘EVERYONE IS THE VOICE OF THEIR GENERATION’ By Neil Walker COURTNEY Barnett is so hot right now. The 27-year-old Northcote based singer-songwriter’s debut album Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit has cracked the Billboard Top 20 in the US and soared to the top of alternative album charts all over the world. No appearances on The Voice Australia or the recently axed Australian Idol shows required. High-profile US news site Salon described Barnett as “the new Bob Dylan”. High praise indeed. But speaking to the singer-songwriter another 1960s iconic touchstone tangentially springs to mind: The Beatles. John Lennon when describing Beatles mania said: “We always called it ‘the eye of the hurricane’ – it was calmer right in the middle.” Barnett sounds calm and relaxed about her newfound success and the glowing reviews and sold-out concerts both here is Australia and the US in the wake of the March release of Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit. Speaking to the singer is a little disconcerting. Her speaking voice during our telephone interview is similar to her deadpan half-singing voice. Barnett’s alt-rock alt-rock pop tinged songs are based on “the stuff around me” and “situations I find myself in”. Songs such as Depreston and Nobody Really Cares If You Don’t Go To The Party are first-person narratives about the minutiae of daily life. That’s not as boring as it sounds. A hastily arranged interview with Barnett on the day it takes place makes it hard to shake a paranoid personal first-personal narrative during the chat: ‘What if this at times awkward conversation – no fault of Barnett’s who is friendly and patient - ends up as part of a future song about an interviewer’s dumb questions?’. Delusional egomania on the interviewer’s part certainly, and thankfully the song title Pedestrian At Best has already been used by Barnett is the lead-off single for the debut album. Frankly, Barnett is so laid back during our chat, it’s doubtful she even noticed the at times pedestrian at best questions. An early question about the music played in the young Barnett’s home when growing up falls a little flat. “My parents didn’t really listen to pop music or the radio or anything like that … they listened to the ABC,” she says. Although her father did listen to jazz legend Miles Davis. Talking about her early days on the music scene – Barnett is no overnight success despite her meteoric rise in the past few months – gleans some better background details though. She was a guitarist in grunge band Rapid Transit who gigged around Melbourne’s less salubrious venues before joining Immigrant Union, a band put together by The Dandy Warhols drummer Brent DeBoer. “Two of the guys that are from that band [Immigrant Union] are my current band members.” As for her solo career, it all began with some songs released on two EPs called I’ve Got A Friend Called Emily Ferris and How To Carve A Carrot Into A Rose. The 12 songs were

collected onto The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas in late 2013. The EPs were released on Milk! Records, Barnett’s own record label. “I just started out when I released my first EP so I could manage the release from home myself. I posted out a few CDs to people who ordered them and it slowly built into a larger thing as more people told their friends about it.” It’s easy to hear how positive word of mouth spread about Barnett’s music. The likes of History Eraser with its references to The Rolling Stones and The Triffids is nirvana for music geeks and her conversational lyrics make it seem like Barnett is having a friendly chat with the individual listener. Local references to Melbourne and its suburbs definitely make it easier for Australian listeners to hook in to Barnett’s world view but she says there has been no cultural cringe for the songs to overcome on a wider global stage. “I think most of the time people just figure stuff out. You either look on a map and see what Phillip Island is or whatever I’m talking about or you just assume it’s some place … it’s like listening to Lou Reed walking down New York streets and stuff, you just kind of figure it out.” A cheeky suggestion to visit Frankston train station to gather material for a future song about its surrounding mean streets before a planned multi-million-dollar redevelopment is

met with a diplomatic laugh. Another US comparison thrown Barnett’s way is being dubbed “music’s Lena Dunham” by Billboard magazine, due to similar confessional [word] to the Girls TV series creator and star. Depreston’s depiction of Barnett struggling to save money to buy a house in the suburbs has been seized upon as representing her generation being locked out of owning a home thanks to soaring property prices. It’s not a similarity Barnett sees. Dunham has been called “the voice of her generation” after a line in an early episode of Girls saw Dunham’s character Hannah Horvath say “I may be the voice of my generation”. “Everyone is the voice of their generation,” Barnett says. “Everyone speaks of what they know. That’s all I do. I sing about what I do, and what I think, and what I know. I don’t know more than anyone else.” Perhaps not but it hasn’t stopped Barnett becoming that rarest of things - an Australian musician with overseas success. She says the feedback from her peers has been positive and plays down any possibility of a backlash. “Most of my friends are musicians and we all kind of keep in touch about everything. It’s great. I love seeing my friends’ bands … it’s great seeing people being successful.” Live performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy

Fallon is not something most Aussie musicians contemplate. Barnett seems unfazed by the big buzz fuss. “It was great. It’s a bit crazy and surreal doing a big TV thing like that … it was fun. It’s just always a bit wild, you don’t always know what’s happening. “It’s just a bit mind boggling but yeah, it’s great. I just love that so many people connect with the songs. That’s what it comes down to.” It’s been a bit of a whirlwind in the eye of the hurricane and Barnett recalls meeting a musical hero in Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy as a personal highlight along the way. “He’s awesome. A legend.” Barnett says she hasn’t really mapped out her solo career. “Everything is just a small step in the next direction. I don’t really have any landmarks … it’s all been great.” Future ambitions are very low key. “I dunno… just, um, I dunno, get older, see more things, make more things, travel a bit more, spend some time with my mum and dad, keep being artistic.” Barnett also dabbles in visual art (“A lot of drawing, starting to paint and photography.”). “It’s just seeing what it’s all about.” Who’s to say she won’t find similar success in other artistic fields whether she sits and thinks or just sits? Tomorrow never knows. Frankston Times 13 July 2015

Panthers pounce on Magpies NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt PEARCEDALE leapfrogged Crib Point on the MPNFL Nepean Division ladder on Saturday after coming from behind to earn a 17 point victory. The Magpies, who played in a grand final against Sorrento last year, are now second bottom on the ladder with just two wins for the season. The Pies led by 18 points at three quarter time on Saturday after booting six goals to one in the third, however, couldn’t sustain the momentum in the last. Pearcedale, through the likes of Michael Williams, who played his best game for the season with four goals, snagged five goals to one behind in the last to win 12.14 (86) to 10.9 (69). Dylan Hoare and Pat Heijden (three goals) were also at their best for the Panthers, while Ben Mitchell controlled the ruck. It’s been a disastrous season for Crib Point. Magpies’ coach Duane Annable said everything that could have gone wrong has so for the Pies in 2015. “In 2014, we had a dream run with injuries and we were able to win the close ones,” said Annable. “This season, we haven’t had the same luck. We had a number of players have surgery at the end of the season and we had players injured in the pre-season. “Really important players last season have rarely been sighted this season. In this competition when it’s so competitive, you need to have everything going your way. For us this season, that hasn’t been the case,” said Annable. Brad Davidson was at his best for the Pies on Saturday, as was Brad Arnold. Luke Herrington was also solid with three goals. Keegan Downie and Tom Baker booted 10 goals each as Rosebud inflicted yet another 200-point loss on Tyabb. The Buds took advantage of the opportunity to rest some stars with niggling injuries, however, it didn’t prevent the 33.21 (219) to 2.7 (19) victory. Jackson Cox and James Cottrell were the best of the Yabbies. Yabbies have five-year plan It’s not all bad news for Tyabb though, who have launched their five-year-plan to rebuild their struggling club. Vice President Robert Hansen announced that some past player legends, including former AFL player and Yabbies’ premiership player Jamie Duursma, as well as premiership coach Eddie Fischer, were setting up a coterie group to assist with fundraising. Former player and MPNFL CEO Steve Pallas is also supporting the club through Sport Community. Hansen said being competitive in this competition wasn’t all about the money. “Football clubs are about the community, getting people involved, former players supporting their club,” said Hansen. “Tyabb Football Club has had too few doing all of the work for too long and this has to change. It’s about to change. “It’s very frustrating for us to go to other clubs and see the level of support they have from people around their club. “We can’t continue to operate as a country footy club. We need to become a business. “To help us achieve this, we have appointed a part-time general manager, who will manage all on-field and off-field matters. We plan to make this a full-time role sooner rather than later. “We are absolutely committed to improving, staying in the MPNFL and being more competitive. “We have no interest in joining any other league and this has never been a consideration for our club.

FRANKSTON TIMES scoreboard

MPNFL taken over by AFL South East Commission By Toe Punt THE AFL South East Commission official took over the MPNFL in a caretaker role last week after the clubs voted at a Special General Meeting. Following a notice of “noconfidence” and the subsequent resignation of the entire MPNFL Board last week, member clubs approved a motion put forward to install the AFL South East Commission as the league’s caretaker governing body until the next Annual General Meeting. Member clubs also approved motions directing the commission to undertake immediate reviews into the governance, administration, finances

and rules of the MPNFL. The respective reviews, due for completion by early October 2015, will involve in-depth consultation and open reporting with all stakeholders including (and most importantly) the clubs. The working party for the respective reviews will involve key management staff from AFL Victoria and AFL Legal, as well as Commissioners and local stakeholders. AFL South East Commission chairman Roger Hampson said the move by the member clubs of the MPNFL is a watershed moment for the league. “The clubs have expressed their

collective desire for change and they now have the chance to be part of that conversation in the framework of these reviews. “The Commission will provide the governance and administrative function under MPNFL rules until the Annual General Meeting, allowing recommendations emanating from the reviews to be discussed and adopted. This is truly a watershed moment, providing member clubs with the opportunity for significant input into the future structure.” While the commission will oversee the governance function, the administration of the league will be overseen by AFL South East’s region

general manager Jeremy Bourke. The current MPNFL administrative staff will remain in place until the completion of the administrative review, which will determine that structure under a regional administration framework. Following the adoption of motions at the SGM, Roger Hampson announced that the first order of business was to conduct a full financial audit to ascertain the league’s current position. Former Western Bulldogs and AFL Victoria financial controller Stephen Smith will start work on this process from July 13 and report to Commission Audit Committee chair and former Edithvale-Aspendale president Ted

Turner. “It is important to stress that AFL South East are committed to the maintenance of the identity, independence and history of the MPNFL,” said Hampson. “The league is one of the most prestigious in Victoria with a proud history of playing strength, community engagement and leadership. “All decisions concerning the future direction of the league will be done in full consultation with the clubs and will be done with respect to that prestige and history, but with a firm focus on the long-term sustainability of the league and its clubs.”

Langwarrin’s season over PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt LANGWARRIN’S season came to an end in MPNFL Peninsula Division football on Saturday when it was beaten by Edithvale-Aspendale in a thriller. The Kangas (sixth) are now two games behind the Eagles (fifth) and need to produce a miracle in the final seven games of the year to make finals. The reality is that the Kangaroos don’t deserve to play finals. The opportunity was there before them on Saturday and they blew it. Despite having 10 more clearances and eight more inside 50m entries, the home side trailed for the majority of the afternoon. Langwarrin led by seven points at quarter time but were blown out of the water by a more hungry, desperate, committed and disciplined EdithvaleAspendale side in the second quarter. The Eagles booted five goals to two for the term and set up the win. Langwarrin hit the front with five minutes left in the match when Nick Hammill slotted one through, however, a crucial turnover inside Langwarrin’s 50m arc resulted in Eagles’ star Brad Tagg getting on the end of it and running into an open goal at the other end to reclaim the lead. The home side dominated the final three minutes of the match but poor ball movement and a lack of urgency allowed the Eagles to get numbers back and cramp the Kangas’ forwards. When the game was there to be won, Edithvale-Aspendale had more players who were committed to getting the

four points. Brett O’Hanlon, Brad Tagg, Matthew Clark, Mark Mullins and Stevey Mannix led the charge, while Tim Mavric, in his first game back for three months after suffering a neck injury, dominated in the last quarter. Rikki Johnston was a standout for the Kangaroos. He did everything he

could at both ends to will his side over the line. Shane Patterson also played extremely well across four quarters. Nick Hammill helped his side get back into the match in the second half when he was moved into the ruck. Dale Binks worked hard at the stoppages and Dylan Luxa lifted when the team needed him. Blake Peach was

also tireless. Edithvale coach Graeme Yeats said after the match that it was his leaders who “stood-up” when it mattered. “We have a lot of inexperience in our side and unfortunately, a lot is left to the experienced blokes – they were just fantastic today,” Yeats said immediately after the match.

“O’Hanlon, Clark and Mavric through the middle were great and I thought the defenders in Jason Campbell, Mark Mullens and Steve Mannix led the charge too. Jarrod Garth also worked hard in attack. “It was a classic eight-point game and I thought our boys deserved it. We showed some spirit and fight and that was really pleasing,” said Yeats. A shattered Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico said after the game that the more desperate and disciplined side won the match. “Look, we just didn’t follow instruction for long enough. It’s been a problem all season,” said Artico. “When we needed to win the 50/50 ball at critical times, we lost those contests. There just wasn’t enough care and commitment.” Artico said before the match to his players that if they lost the game, they may as well play cards on a Tuesday and Thursday night for the rest of the season. Langwarrin’s football might not improve but its Poker game will. In the only other Peninsula League match on Saturday, Frankston YCW thrashed Chelsea to the tune of 124 points. After leading by just 11 points at quarter time, the Stonecats booted 20 goals to three after the first change. Anthony Bruhn booted six and Ryan Santon and Dave Bodley four each while Kyle Hutchison dominated for the second week in succession. Matt Gardiner and Matt Silva were the best of the Seagulls.
