Kingston’s woman of the year announced JUNE Rea has been named Kingston’s woman of the year for 2020. Ms Rea was nominated for the award because of her work with the community visitors program. Community visitors volunteer to attend disability service providers and places where residential services are being provided, and report back on the standard of care. “I am hoping this award increases awareness about the great work the community visitors program does in safeguarding the human rights of the most vulnerable in our community and encourages others in Kingston to volunteer as well,” Ms Rea said. The mayor Georgina Oxley, who presented the award, said “choosing a winner among the exceptional women nominated for this year’s award has been incredibly difficult, but June Rea stood out as someone who has worked tirelessly for her community.” “Once again, we have been overwhelmed with the quality of the nominees,” she said. “June won because of her tenacious advocacy that has resulted in positive impacts on the lives of so many Kingston residents, in terms of both living conditions and lifestyle.” Ms Rea was given the award at a ceremony at Kingston City Hall on 6 March. She was chosen as the winner from 18 nominees across three categories.

The Mornington Great Outdoor and 4x4 Expo high price of today’s caravans and camper trailers, but they have always kept in step with inflation. When you look carefully at the improvements in design, technology and the excellent modern materials and accessories used in today’s models, you will see that most of them represent real value for money. On the whole what you get is what you pay for, but the caravan industry today is competitive enough for a little shopping around to be worthwhile. Caravan, Motorhomes and camping expos where manufacturers and dealers are all together in one place, can become very generous offering impressive discounts and “show specials”. By visiting The Mornington Great Outdoor and 4x4 Expo, hopefully this will help you to decide on what type of caravan, motorhome or camper trailer you need, and help you make an informed decision. We Look forward to seeing you all at The Mornington Great Outdoor and 4x4 Expo.
THE Great Outdoor Expos Exhibition Manager, Richard Hiscock, has some great advice for all caravan and camping enthusiasts. Mr Hiscock says “if you are considering taking time to explore Australia’s great outdoors, then buying your own caravan, Motorhome or camper trailer is a great option”. But when you look at the size and the extent of the range, it’s easy to get a bit confused and overwhelmed. By asking yourself these questions, you will be guided to choosing something that’s right for you. What do you intend to do with it? Don’t just think about the first trip, plan forward a couple of years; will your caravan/camper/Motorhome be mainly used for weekend escapes? Is it for family holidays with the kids? Is it for the fulfilment of a lifelong dream – the trip around Australia that may take months or even years to complete? The purpose will determine whether it be a caravan, Motorhome or camper trailer and it’s size and configuration. How are you going to tow the caravan or camper trailer? You need to check the tow capacity of your current vehicle as this will set a maximum weight for your dream caravan or camper trailer. Just because you have a tow bar doesn’t mean you can tow anything you like – please check what it’s engineered and rated for. New or used?

Skate park changes on show A SERIES of proposed changes to a Carrum Downs skate park are out for community consultation. Local BMX rider Storm Ashby said that the changes mean that “there’s more flow now and we go higher and faster, so this will be way better.” The proposed upgrades to the park are funded through a $200,000 grant from the state government. The project was put forward for the Pick My Project grant program by Carrum Downs Secondary students Lachlan Gray-Kelly and Noah Douglas. Frankston mayor Sandra Mayer said “it is great that the young people in our city are taking pride in the community and sharing ideas for the things
they would like to see improved. I’d like to thank the state government for funding this project and I’m really proud that we’ve all been able to work together to see the plans through to this stage.” View the concept plan for the upgraded park at frankston.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay. Consultation closes 30 March.

Film follows artist’s pursuit of peace IT can be viewed as a sad commentary on humanity that children happily play where lives were brutally lost. Or perhaps the apparent incongruity of such a scene is testament to the human spirit of survival. Artist William Kelly describes Guernica in northern Spain as “a lovely city with children playing in parks”. But looming large in Kelly’s mindset is also the horror and brutality depicted in Pablo Picasso’s 1937 oil painting, Guernica. An optimist, Kelly’s own art is designed to create dialogue, peace talk, if you like. Kelly, who lives in Cheltenham, is known for his sweeping statement “art can’t stop a bullet, but it can stop a bullet from being fired”. His views have now been canvassed in a 90-minute documentary that uses his 13-metre long vertical banner, "Peace and War/The Big Picture” as a central theme. The banner includes Kelly’s “visioning” of Picasso’s Guernica. Directed by Mark Street and produced by Fiona Cochrane, ”Can Art Stop a Bullet: William Kelly’s Big Picture” records the views of peace activist Kelly along with those of actor Martin Sheen, photographer Nick Ut (whose photo of a child fleeing napalm bombing is credited with adding impetus to ending the Vietnam War) and philosopher A C Grayling. The image of that young girl is also incorporated in Kelly’s banner, which hangs in the La Trobe Reading Room at the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne. Shot on every continent - from Hiroshima, London, Geneva and indigenous artists in Australia - the film’s producers see it as spanning “a dynamic social and historical landscape”. It is “all about contributing to a discussion about world peace that may help to reduce the possibility of further wars in the world, as well as demonstrating a range of beautiful artworks (visual, musical and performance art) relating to peace and human rights from around the globe”. Although filmed in many countries, its creators say its “birthplace is local”, with director Mark Street living in Mentone, sound recordist David Muir, Mornington, online editor Alan Ryan, Mt Eliza and media producer Terry Cantwell, Mornington. ”Can Art Stop a Bullet: William Kelly’s Big Picture” will be screened at Mornington Cinema on 15 August.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
A daring outrage - the criminal caught averted a tragedy by a few seconds, and that the diabolical fiend had glided away, on his timely approach, and emerged about two chains away on the road just as Mr Jennings arrived at the same place. The culprit dashed off up Baxter St and a long chase up the sandy road and past the Roman Catholic Chapel ensued. Mr Jennings gained to within ten yards of him, and the capture seemed certain, when the follow hurled himself through the railway fence and down the big cutting. His pursuer somewhat puzzled at first, followed him but, on reaching the top of the far side found he had disappeared into the ti-tree nearby. Mr Jennings then searched the scrub towards the railway station, but seeing nothing of the fugitive, he phoned from the station to the Station Master at Seaford giving particulars and a description of the culprit. The station master replied, “The scoundrel shall pass Seaford neither by road or rail” and Mr Page meant what he said. Meanwhile Constable Dybald discovered that the fellow had gone from the scrub near the railway bridge, and from that moment the constable was so ubiquitous that, as one man said afterwards “you’d think there were seven Dybalds on the job.” Senior-Constable Bray organised a party, and scoured the country in another strategic locality. Mr Parker did splendid work with his motor car and was preparing to drive off home after dropping, the two officers at the police station, when the
Compiled by Cameron McCullough LAST Tuesday afternoon, Frankston was thrown into a frenzy of excitement, when it became known that a most diabolical attempt at outrage had been made upon a little girl of ten years. The State school boys were playing a cricket match in the Park, and when the school was dismissed for the day, the other children ran down to the park to see the game. The Head Teacher (Mr Jennings) was umpiring at the time, and a little girl dashed impetuously to him and said, “A strange man has dragged one of the girls into the scrub and she is crying out!’’ Mr Jennings called both teams to him, dispatched two boys on bicycles to the police, and in less than half a minute, the cricketers, followed by over a hundred other children, scattered and were dashing through the scrub in feverish haste. The search was fruitless until Jack Matson, noticing that a very dense portion had been missed, called to Eric Johnson and Leslie Ryan to help him search it. Immediately afterwards Matson heard a cry and dashing forward found the girl just raising from the ground and pulling at a handkerchief that gagged and blindfolded her. Aided by his two plucky followers, he assisted her out to the road, and very soon over fifty friends were around her. The thankfulness and relief was great when it was finally ascertained that the half-frantic child was otherwise absolutely unharmed. Matson, as a mate said, had “used his nut” but he did not know that he had
senior called out “Stop Parker! Seaford! 50 miles an hour!” Seaford’s S.M. had kept his word, and the “suspect” who gave the name of Leach, was soon under lock and key, and Frankston mothers heaved a sigh of relief. Leach appeared before Mr Lasslett, J.P. and was remanded till next Monday. *** THE monthly meeting of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute Committee was held on Monday. Present: Cr. Mason (president), Cr. Oates, Messrs. Wheeler, Lasslett, W. W. Young, Wilcox, W. C. Young, and the secretary, Mr. C. Dalman. The president extended a welcome to Mr. Wilcox as a new member of the committee. Reference was made to complaints received in connection with unruly conduct of young people at picture shows held in the hall, and it was resolved to take action to ensure the comfort of adults who went to the “movies” for an hour’s enjoyment. The action of the president in loaning forms to the Frankston State school was endorsed. Authority was given to have about two dozen chairs repaired. *** BOWLERS will be interested in the Dunlop rubber bowls now on view at Messrs. G. E. Rogers and Sons Frankston. These bowls, said to be equal to wood or excible, are £5/5/- per set of four, or £2/12/6 per pair. We note that Mr. L. G. Rogers was elected in the Mordlialloc team on

upwards of 100 that sat down to the “festive board.” The 2 tables were most artistically arrayed by Mrs. Wilcox, Mrs. Dalman, and Miss Gregory, and fairly groaned under the excellence of good things provided. Mr. A. G. .Wilcox; president of the Frankston branch of the R.S.S.I.L.A., presided. Apologies were received from Messrs H. Masterton and H. J. McCulloch. Before proceeding with the lengthy programme the company rose and maintained an impressive silence for some moments out of respect to the fallen. The toast of “The King” having been duly honoured, the president proposed “The Mornington Racing Club.” He referred to the sportsman-like manner in which the Club had helped the Frankston Soldiers’ Memorial movement. From the very first the committee had received the proposal to hold a benefit race meeting on their course with the warmest enthusiasm, and the magnificent success attained bore testimony to their sincerity of purpose. The Frankston returned soldiers were under a deep debt of gratitude to the Mornington Racing Club for the helping hand thus extended to this soldiers’ movement. Mr Wilcox specially thanked the Club’s secretary for the untiring energy displayed in bringing the race meeting to a successful issue. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 March 1920

Long Island ended up reaching their target with six wickets in hand and three overs left to play. Somerville had a tough day at home, falling to a defeat against Red Hill. The home side ended up all out for 135. Adrian Ridout scored a half century and was Somerville’s best. Tom Collett was Red Hill’s best bowler, posting figures of 3/12.

Still needing 57 runs to win, Mount Martha’s tail order stood up. Matthew Pollock’s late score of 30 not out got his side over the line by one wicket.

Five locals left in 2020 FFA Cup SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie SEAFORD United was the only local club to survive last weekend’s round of FFA Cup matches. The draw for the next round was due to be conducted today (Tuesday) as we went to press. Langwarrin, Mornington, Peninsula Strikers and Skye United all entered this week’s draw so just five local clubs out of 12 who contested Australia’s premier knockout competition in 2020 remain in the hunt for glory. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford had to endure a nerve-racking penalty shootout against visitor Brunswick Zebras on Saturday. The local outfit won that showdown 7-6 after the sides were locked together at 2-2 after normal time and couldn’t be separated after 30 minutes of extra time. Seaford had started well with young striker Conor Mcfall chesting down a cross in the 10th minute then striking his shot in off the near post. McFall had trained with rival State 4 club Baxter the previous week before agreeing terms to stay at North Seaford Reserve. In the 32nd minute Mitch Hawkins headed over advancing Brunswick keeper Nicholas Manduca and the home team had a firm grip on the contest. An error by Seaford goalkeeper Ryan Ramsden in the second half gifted a goal to Hogan Somers and Christian Smith forced the tie into extra time when he made it 2-2. The deadlock couldn’t be broken and Seaford substitute keeper Justin Holland who had come on near the end of normal time made his third penalty save in successive cup ties to send the home team through to the next round. State 4 club Chelsea was dumped from the cup last Saturday after a 5-1 loss at home to State 5 opponent Mount Waverly City. The visitors to Edithvale Reserve wrapped up this clash in the first 45 minutes and went in at the interval with a commanding 4-0 lead. Chelsea was missing key players and that proved crucial. Its only reply was a spectacular solo effort from Luke D’Alessandro in the 57th minute when he took on three opponents on the left before hammering the ball into the top far corner. But that proved of little consequence as an Evan Devlin hat-trick and singles to Mount Waverley captain James Kelly and Alec Tsementzis sent the visitors through to the next round.
Pines punished: Frankston Pines goalkeeper Jarrod Nardino had an eventful afternoon at Monterey Reserve on Saturday. Picture: John Punshon
Despite the loss it would be a mistake to dismiss Chelsea’s league prospects this season. Head coach Carlo Melino has been busy bolstering his squad and arguably his biggest coup was clinching the signature of striker Piers Brelsford from Yarra Jets who was second top scorer in State 5 East last season. Other newcomers were winger Will Ong from Ringwood City, ex-Mornington defender Sam Dunn, defensive midfielder Nathan Boccari from Beaumaris, former Bayside Argonauts striker Adrian Lotca and two youngsters returning to the club in attacking midfielder Abdul Mohammad and right back Josh Torossian. At Monterey Reserve on Saturday State 5 visitor Barwon embarrassed its State 3 opponent running out a deserved 4-2 victor. Frankston Pines had gone into the cup match without their much-vaunted quartet of Fijian internationals. Their international clearances were not processed in time so they enjoyed a casual stroll in the reserves friendly which the home team won 9-2. The cup clash was an entirely different matter. An intriguing mix of slapstick defending, remarkable reflex goalkeeping and finishing so bad it had to be seen to be believed made for an interesting afternoon for the 42 spectators that were there from the outset. That figure includes a handful of toddlers and doesn’t include the reserves teams and support staff who
would have had a hat-trick if Nardino hadn’t reacted so quickly using every centimetre of his lengthy reach to effect a series of point blank saves. Then Hodgson blew his second great chance when put through by Joe O’Connor and at the other end yet another Nardino save denied Moo Thay. But Barwon finally broke through in the 66th minute when Moo Thay was sent clear by Bailey to make it 2-0. Pines boss Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor exploded in the technical area haranguing his players and slamming their performance. Hodgson then discarded his captain’s armband and later Pines claimed it was simply because it was too tight and was annoying him. The timing was unfortunate. But Pines hit back in the 70th minute when Richardson went down inside the area and the ensuing penalty was easily converted by Hodgson. McMinimee should have done better with his header on the end of Cole Ryan’s far post cross from the right but O’Connor made amends when he ran onto a through ball in the 84th minute and on the bounce lobbed Ower to make it 2-2. In the first minute of injury time the elusive Moo Thay raced clear once more and poked the ball past Jardino to make it 3-2. Three minutes later Bailey iced it with a shot from close range, a fitting reward for the 17-year-old who was the best player on the pitch. In State 2 news the tug-of-war to
were in and around the dressing rooms after playing their part in proceedings. A square Barwon defence playing a high defensive line invited Pines to break into one-on-ones in the first half against opposition keeper Kieran Ower. Not that it mattered as Lachlan McMinimee failed to hit the target after lobbing over Ower towards an unguarded goal then Pines captain CJ Hodgson shot wide after being put through. Callum Richardson scuffed his shot after breaking clear in the 34th minute the ball falling to McMinimee whose first attempt from close range was parried by the advancing Ower and his second attempt skewed wide of the target. Barwon should have gone ahead a few minutes earlier when Nathan Niedzwiedzki’s cross from the right picked out the unmarked Moo Thay at the back post but he headed straight at Pines keeper Jarrod Nardino. The rangy Pines gloveman was to play a pivotal role in proceedings, first with a disastrous piece of goalkeeping right on half-time then with a series of stunning reaction saves after the interval that stopped Barwon blowing Pines away. Jardino attempted to throw the ball to a teammate in first half time added only to hit the back of Barwon’s Ni Reh who turned around and scored the opener. In the first 10 minutes of the second period Barwon striker Mylton Bailey
secure the signature of attacking midfielder Shane Tagliaferro has ended and he has agreed terms with Peninsula Strikers. “Tags” trained with both Seaford United and Strikers and last week Strikers head coach Paul Williams was delighted to announce that his club had signed the veteran. “Shane is part of the process of building an exciting squad which has a good blend of experience and youth,” Williams said. “He’s a cultured and creative midfielder who can dictate tempo and I’m sure he’ll bring his fair share of assists and goals to us.” In State 4 news Baxter received a bodyblow with news that central defender Matt McDermott has a fractured fibula sustained against Darebin United in the FFA Cup a fortnight back. The break resulted from a reckless challenge in the 71st minute by Darebin’s Frank Drakopoulos who left referee Jackson Landy with no choice but to send him off. McDermott had to be substituted and the veteran is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks. Drakopoulos was given a threeweek suspension that drops to two weeks with a guilty plea. Results of last weekend’s friendlies: Langwarrin 2 (Delarno Pharoe, George Howard penalty) Nunawading City 1; Bentleigh Cobras 2 Peninsula Strikers 2; Pakenham Utd 1 Somerville Eagles 3 (Bjorn Kutschera, Jack Wyer, own goal); HMAS Cerberus 3 Rosebud 4 (Cory Osorio, Blake Hicks, Owen McDougall, Michael Durrance). Mornington’s friendly on Saturday at home to Caroline Springs George Cross was abandoned after Mornington team manager Tony McKay collapsed in the dressing rooms before the match and had to be rushed to hospital. There was no further information as we went to press. Mornington wishes to thank George Cross for being both understanding and respectful of the situation. This weekend’s pre-season friendlies: THURSDAY: Endeavour Hills Fire v Chelsea, Power Reserve, 6.30pm & 8.30pm. FRIDAY: Frankston Pines v Rosebud, Monterey Reserve, 6.30pm & 8.30pm. SATURDAY: Baxter v Aspendale Stingrays, Baxter Park, 1pm & 3pm; Knox Utd v Somerville Eagles, Park Ridge Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Mount Martha v Mount Eliza, Padua College, 1pm & 3pm.
