The Peninsula’s pinnacle of spring racing is just around the corner. The Neds Peninsula Cup will again ascend on the magnificent Mornington Racecourse on Sunday 30 October, set to deliver an electric atmosphere with activity and excitement for all.

Jamie Mott on the up ahead of Peninsula Cup

BY JUSTIN DARCY

34-year-old hoop Jamie Mott is riding the wave of his career best form in the saddle, claiming his first career Group 1 in the Neds Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) in September aboard Callsign Mav, trained by Danny O’Brien.

Based on the Mornington Peninsula for approximately the past five years, Mott is loving life with his wife Carol-Anne and his two young boys Henry and Charlie, and this healthy mindset is really paying off in the saddle.

“I am absolutely loving life in Mornington,” Mott said.

“As for my riding, I am feeling super confident at the moment. I am in a really good frame of mind.

“My body is good, my weight is good and I am getting plenty of nice rides with good support behind me from everyone.”

Mott is making the most of his opportunities with a range of trainers based at Mornington, especially John McArdle whom he has had a very long relationship with, but he hopes more doors will open across the Spring Carnival now that he is

“I do the majority of work with Johnny,” Mott stated.

“We are a little quiet at the moment, but we have a few young ones prepping up that are ready to go.

“You would imagine now that I have won my first Group 1, hopefully that means I am a good chance of landing a nice ride in the big Group 1 races as we head into the deep part of the spring.”

Callsign Mav is a gelding who Mott is keen to stick with across the spring features, but there is a colt who Mott had great affiliation with back in the autumn, Lofty Strike, who he is keen to re-partner with this spring.

“I have Lofty Strike who I rode in both career wins last preparation.

“He finished off the campaign with an impressive win in a Blue Diamond Prelude, so I hope he can take that next step this spring.”

The colt made an impressive return at Caulfield on Wednesday 12 October, running on under Mott to finish third in the Group 3 Catanach’s Jewellers Blue Sapphire Stakes (1200m).

When asked if there was one race that across the whole Spring Carnival that Jamie Mott would love to one day win, it was a three-year-old classic at Caulfield that sprung to mind, a stallion making event over the mile.

“The Caulfield Guineas has always been one of my favourites,” Mott said.

He will soon get the chance to claim the ‘other’ big three-year-old spring feature when he partners Lofty Strike in the Group 1 Coolmore Classic at Flemington on Saturday 29 October. There he will likely be set for a mouth-watering clash with Mornington’s The Everest (1200m) champion Giga Kick, trained by Clayton Douglas.

Win, lose or draw, there will be no rest for Mornington’s hardest working jockey with Mott to compete the following day on his home track at Mornington on Neds Peninsula Cup Day.

Consultation

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

CONSULTATION with the communi ty is “vital” to completing the planned level crossing removals along the Frankston line, Kingston Council says.

Earlier this month, the state govern ment announced that it would remove all level crossings on the Frankston line by 2029. Rail over road will be built to replace the level crossings at

Wickham Road and Highett Road in Highett, McDonald Street in Mordial loc, and Station Street in Aspendale.

Previous level crossing removals along the Frankston line have drawn backlash from the community, espe cially in Parkdale. The state govern ment’s plans to build sky rail at Park dale were opposed by 76 per cent of residents polled by Kingston Council in a survey.

Before work begins to remove the remaining level crossings, Kingston Council has called on the LXRP to comprehensively consult with the

Christmas lunch is coming up

THE annual Chelsea Community Christmas Lunch will return in 2022.

The free lunch will bring people together on Christmas day for a meal, carols, and a visit from Santa.

In addition to the Christmas meal, guests will be treated to a buffet des sert.

The free communal lunch will be held at St Joseph’s School Hall in Chelsea. To book a place visit trybook ing.com/CDGAE

community. The mayor Steve Stai kos said “each level crossing project is unique, and it is essential that the community is actively consulted, and that local knowledge and expertise informs the planning process. We are keen to receive further information from the Level Crossing Removal Project on their plans and how they aim to engage with the community, and with the council.”

The LXRP says that consultation will take place in 2023. A spokesper son for the LXRP said “community consultation is key to developing all

level crossing removal projects. Like we have already done with communi ties on the Frankston line, we’ll en gage with locals during the planning and construction phases. Community consultation will begin next year.

“We look forward to working with communities to make the Frankston line level crossing free, ensuring the busiest sections of the rail network are safer and less congested and deliver ing great outcomes for locals.”

Kingston councillor Jenna DaveyBurns says that consultation with Kingston residents improved the sub

urban rail loop project, and that the feedback gathered for this project should be seriously considered too. “We want to ensure these projects are a catalyst for enhancing our much-loved shopping strips, lead to public safety improvements, develop vibrant com munity spaces, and importantly, im proved pedestrian and cycling links,” she said. “Kingston is an active and engaged community with a lot of ex pertise to offer to the planning process and we saw how the community posi tively impacted elements of plans for the Suburban Rail Loop.”

More hard rubbish pick-ups from 2023

TWO on-demand hard rubbish col lections will be available to residents in the Kingston Council area going forward.

Kingston Council has just completed its final yearly hard rubbish collec tion. It has decided to change to a new system, with two on-call collections available to residents year-round from July 2023.

Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said he hoped the change would cut down on illegal dumping. “While most peo ple do the right thing, we are seeing an increase in illegally dumped rubbish,

with the cost to ratepayers now well in excess of $200,000 annually,” he said.

“Three alarming criminal cases of 13, 30 and then 97 tyres being dumped re cently highlights what we are dealing with and why we are looking to make changes. While the hard waste disposal and recycling guidelines won’t change, we believe that expanding the service to two on-demand collections per year and introducing flexibility will reduce instances of illegal dumping across Kingston. In turn less waste will be sent to landfills and recycling will increase.

WHAT’S NEW...

“Kingston Council still has a lot more work to do in the recycling and resource recovery space, with the roll out of the fourth purple-lidded glass recycling bin by 2027, and the need for the food organics garden organics green-lidded bin to roll out to thou sands more homes across the city.”

E-waste, white goods, furniture, and mattresses can be put into hard rubbish.

People who illegally dump rubbish can be fined more than $6000. To report someone illegally dumping visit kingston.vic.gov.au or phone 1300 653 356.

Front Beach, Back Beach – a road trip for art lovers

THE Mornington Peninsula has a long, colour ful and story-filled history. Front Beach, Back Beach (FBBB) aims to celebrate this with its ambitious site-responsive public art works.

This November, Mornington Peninsula Re gional Gallery together with Deakin University’s Public Art Commission will present FBBB at fifteen different locations across the Peninsula. Designed as a road-trip for art lovers, FBBB will feature the work of eighteen local and national artists and collectives who have been invited to respond to key sites, stories and communi ties which have shaped this unique region of Victoria.

The artworks will take many forms from sculptural works viewable throughout the program to performance, film and activations viewable at set session times.

The stories the artists are responding to begin thousands of years ago with the landscape and with the Bunurong/ Boon Wurrung Traditional Owners at Monmar, a sacred women’s place used for birthing, ceremony and initiation. Thou sands of years later the first shots fired in both World Wars occurred in the same place at from Point Nepean (Monmar).

National myths, conspiracy and modern political history were further shaped at Monmar, Cheviot Beach, the site of Harold Holt’s disap pearance in 1969.

Whilst there’s hundreds of stories to be shared, the Front Beach, Back Beach curatorium, spear

headed by co-Artistic Directors Danny Lacy (Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery), Cameron Bishop and David Cross (both from Deakin University’s Public Art Commission) – Mornington Peninsula current (or returning) locals themselves – have identified fifteen loca tions across 723sqkm that create a unique set of conditions for artistic response.

The artists commissioned for FBBB represent a diverse cross section of leading and emerging artists from across the country. Including local, Flinders based artist Vera Möller and Victorian artists Amanda Shone, Geoff Robinson, Gold Satino, James Geurts, Kait James, Jarra Karali nar Steel, LAST Collective, Lisa Waup, Maree Clarke, Rebecca Jensen & Aviva Endean, Shane McGrath and Taree Mackzenzie. Interstate artists include Anna Breckon & Nat Randall (NSW), Hiromi Tango ( QLD) and Lucy Bleach (TAS).

The fifteen projects have been arranged into three geographical hubs – Western Port, Fore shore and Point Nepean – each of which contain five commissions. Each hub will be activated for ten days, with associated programming sched uled within this period.

The project is supported by the Restart Invest ment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund–an Australian Government initiative–and is present ed by Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery and Deakin University’s Public Art Commission. For the full program visit www.fbbb.com.au

Patterson River pollution prevention investigated

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au

NEW solutions are needed to reduce the amount of litter in Patterson River, a Kingston councillor says.

Kingston Council first voted to look into the possibility of a heavy-duty litter trap upstream on Patterson River in late 2020. Nearly two years on, the litter trap has not been implemented.

Kingston councillor Cameron Howe says that investment into litter reduction in the river is badly needed. “We need to turn the tide on plastic pollution with a replacement heavy-duty litter trap, which is an essential step to maintaining healthy waterways, collecting plastics upstream on Patterson River before they hit our popular bay beaches,” he said. “Images of enough plastic bottles to fill a backyard pool collecting on the river’s shoreline, have become the ire of the community and demonstrate that it is irresponsible not to fund this overdue solution”.

Current litter collection methods in Patterson River include gross pollutant traps, grills, and grates.

Patterson River is owned by Melbourne Water. A spokesperson from Melbourne Water said the best way to address the pollution problem is to “prevent littering at the source”.

“The Patterson River is at the end of a very large catchment system, and as such receives stormwater – and all the litter carried by stormwater – from all areas connected to the Dandenong Creek and Eumemmerring Creek and their tributaries. The area covers significant proportions of the cities of Casey, Greater Dandenong and King-

ston, as well as Knox Council. Upwards of 90 per cent of the litter found at the end of stormwater systems like this one come from the streets of our suburbs,” the spokesperson said. “We are investigating the potential benefit of a litter trap within the broader Patterson River, Dandenong Creek and Eumemmerring Creek system as part of a range of actions by the Lower Dandenong Creek Litter Collaboration that address better management of

litter at source.”

The Lower Dandenong Litter Collaboration is a partnership between Melbourne Water, Kingston, Greater Dandenong, and Casey councils, the EPA, and Parks Victoria. Melbourne

Water says that through that initiative, an action plan is being developed “which does identify several priority asset and non-asset based interventions, recognising that litter management is a shared responsibility

– including with the community – and working on the principle that prevent ing litter entering the stormwater system is more effective than cleaning up at the end of the system.”

Kingston Council wrote to Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny in June last year asking for the state government to stump up the cash for a new litter trap.

Kilkenny did not respond to questions from The News asking her thoughts on the proposal.

In April this year, Kingston Council once again called for state government investment into Patterson River (“Funding wanted to fix urgent issues at Patterson River” The News 20/4/2022). In May the state government committed to spending $3 million on upgrades at the upper precinct, which encompasses the National Water Sports Centre in Bangholme, and $3.5 million on the Launching Way area.

Speeding fines waived

MOTORISTS who have been caught by the notorious speed camera at the intersection of Nepean Highway and Davey Street in Frankston will have their fines waived.

Following a recommendation by the road safety camera commissioner, Victoria Police has elected to with draw speeding infringements issued at the intersection between 15 April and 16 June this year. Motorists who were travelling southbound between 40 kmph and 60mph will have their fines excused. Lost demerit points will also be reinstated.

The speed limit at the intersection was reduced from 60 kmph to 40 kmph in October 2021. The speed camera en forcing the new limit was switched on in April of this year.

Following complaints about the new speed limit and the accompanying sig nage, road safety camera commissioner Neville Taylor began investigating the matter. His report was released last week.

The report recommended that fines incurred by drivers at the intersection who did not exceed 60 kmph should be waived. It also recommended that driv ers who received multiple fines before notice of their first infringement should have all their fines before the first notice waived.

Refunds are expected to be processed within 60 days. People eligible to have their fines waived will be contacted by email.

The road safety camera commission er investigation probed the processes followed in the setup of the new speed limit. The decision to change the speed limit itself was out of the scope of the investigation.

Taylor concluded that “the commu nication and signage informing motor ists of the new speed limit of 40 kmph on the Nepean Highway, southbound through the intersection of Davey Street, Frankston, was less than effec tive.” The report read that two projects to reduce the speed limit in the area oc curring at the same time led to signifi cant confusion.

“During 2021, two overlapping projects were underway to reduce the speed limit along the Nepean High way in Frankston from 60 kmph to 40 kmph. Frankston City Council man aged one of the projects, which was a temporary speed limit reduction event to support the introduction of outdoor roadside dining. The other project was for a permanent speed limit reduction as a part of a broader safer speed limit strategy to reduce road trauma, particu larly with pedestrians, on the Nepean Highway. This project was managed by the Department of Transport,” the report executive summary read.

“The investigation found that there were significant complexities brought about due to the unique nature of the two overlapping and concurrent speed limit reduction projects, along with less than effective collaboration, information sharing, and communica tion within and amongst the agencies involved, to be fully aware of the impact of these circumstances on the enforcement by the road safety cam eras. It was also found there was less than effective communication to the community to sufficiently inform road users of the two projects and the timing for implementation of the new lower 40 kmph speed limit.”

Councils team up for advocacy campaign

FOUR councils in the south-east of Melbourne have teamed up to call for planning reform.

Kingston Council has linked up with Bayside, Boroondara, Glen Eira councils to form the Inner South Metropolitan Mayor’s Forum.

The coalition of councils has released a document outlining their plans and priorities on planning matters. They are hoping to see state planning laws reformed to give

more power to councils and local communities.

Boroondara mayor Jane Addis said that recent planning law changes had “dramatically changed our planning system to reduce the opportunity for councils and their communities to genuinely participate in decision making affecting their lives.”

The ISMMF plan also outlined the council’s wishlist for public space projects. The coalition is calling

for the long-awaited chain of parks project to be fully realised.

Kingston mayor Steve Staikos said “there are immediate opportunities to deliver new green open spaces, but we can’t do it without the state government’s support.”

Other projects that the councils will advocate for are more social and affordable housing, and for improved maternal and child health services.

Karate competitors test their skills

TWO karate practitioners have returned to their Carrum Downs dojo with silverware from a competition in Poland.

Bruce Hyland, owner of the Bruce Hyland Ishinryu Karate dojo, and his student Daniel Brooker won silver medals at the WKA World Karate Championships in Szczecin. Brooker won silver in Kama and Kumite, and Hyland won silver in Kumite.

Hyland’s dojo has been running since 1975. The school first ran in Chelsea before moving to

Seaford in 1980, and Carrum Downs last year. Hyland says that karate “has many benefits for all ages”.

“Karate has fitness, personal discipline, the re wards of going through the ranks, and achieving a black belt. Of course you also learn personal self defence, which in today’s environment adds to your personal confidence,” he said.

70-year-old 7th Dan Hyland has been competing for decades. His dojo runs classes for kids, teenagers, and adults.

Libs will upgrade road

THE Liberals have committed to duplicating Governor Road if the party wins next month’s state election.

The road would be duplicated in Braeside be tween Boundary and Springvale roads at a cost of $57 million.

Shadow transport infrastructure minister Matt Bach said that the project would “deliver better connections for people heading to their school or work, and safely back home again.”

“We are determined to fix this dangerous road after years of neglect by Labor,” he said.

Port Phillip changes promised

THE state opposition has promised to “central ise” the management of boat ramps at Port Phillip and Western Port.

The Liberals have unveiled a plan for recrea tional fishing and boating. Part of the plan is to begin discussions with councils and other bodies to have management of boat ramps in Port Phillip and Western Port brought under the control of state government entity Better Boating Victoria.

The state opposition has also promised to use 100 percent of marine, boating, and fishing licence fees on facilities and maintaining fishing stocks. It will spend $5 million on matched grants to regional councils for boat ramp maintenance, $1 million on research into fish restocking pro grams, and $30 million on a “fish and platypus habitat restoration fund.”

Victorian Liberals leader Matthew Guy said “our plan is about better management of our boat ramps and infrastructure, and more support for our precious habitats.”

Shadow fishing and boating minister Bill Tilley said “we know [Port Phillip and Western Port] are the most heavily used boat ramps in the state and boaters want a better deal.”

“We need a common standard and our policy would harness the expertise of Better Boating Victoria to deliver efficiencies in the management of and safety at these boat ramps,” he said.

It’s totally understandable to feel compelled to stick a finger in each ear and chant “La, la, la, la!” when someone informs you about the latest headlines from the US. The saying “only in America” – often said with an obvious roll of the eyes – is rightfully bandied about when faced with political news and developments from the States. Mercifully, this humour-laden current affairs show sticks to the important facts, with a little quirkiness to sweeten the dispatch. With a week before the midterm elections, hosts Chas Licciardello and John Barron deliver their unique take on US politics.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

You Can Bank On It

By Stuart McCullough

IT’S been a while. So long, in fact, that I feared that I’d completely forgotten how to do something that was once, if not second nature, at least a close third. It’s funny how something that is a part of everyday life can vanish. Like a weekly trip to the Video Library, some things veer rapidly towards extinction until they disappear altogether. That said, in the case of Video Libraries, it’s well deserved – you can’t go around calling yourself a ‘library’ and reject the Dewey Decimal system outright. It just won’t stand.

I went to a bank. For the life of me, I can’t recall the last time I did that. As a kid, it was the place to which you were dragged on a warm afternoon against your will and forced to suffer a supreme form of boredom. People spoke quietly when they were in a bank. They were like libraries in that regard (although not video libraries –those places were bedlam). At banks, they gave people money and dullness. One you paid for, the other was com plementary. In fact, the most exciting thing about the bank was that the pens were on chains.

The chain made an interesting sound as it slid across the countertop. It was inconvenient if there wasn’t a spare patch of bench proximate to the pen you were using which meant you had to stand much closer to a fellow cus tomer than either of you felt comfort able with. There was about a fifty per cent chance of a pen actually working, meaning that you might have to suf fer the indignity of moving from pen

to pen as the security guard took note of your suspicious behaviour. Clearly intended to discourage theft, the pens would have been worth all of about two cents each.

Banks also had a substantial pot plant in the main customer area, to gether with the day’s date displayed prominently so that people could fill

their deposit and withdrawal slips ac curately. I’d watch the hand on the clock as it turned. As a kid, the bank is where time slowed to a crawl. There was no such thing as a ‘quick’ trip to the bank and even if your parents spent no more than ten minutes in there, it still felt like a lifetime. Granted, major financial institutions are designed to

do a lot of things, but they were ex perts at testing a child’s perseverance.

The other week I received a cheque. I had no idea what to do with it. It’s been so long since I saw such a thing that it had an air of novelty about it, despite being a regular rather than oversized cheque. Until it arrived, I’d believed the phrase ‘the cheque’s in the mail’ was one not to be taken lit erally, much like other fanciful state ments such as ‘a lot of people are say ing’ (they’re not) and ‘due to popular demand’ (we still have heaps left of whatever it is we’re desperate to get rid of).

I did my very best to remember what it is I used to do when coming into pos session of a cheque. Trawling through the dank and abandoned recesses of my mind, where I found several tennis balls and a jumper I used to like, one word suddenly jumped up and slapped me fair in the face – bank. I would be making a trip to the bank.

I haven’t lived here for that long, but I knew that a branch of my bank had just re-opened after extensive refur bishments. Given that I was going to a bank for what was possibly the first time this century, I decided to make an occasion of it and pretend it was still the nineteen nineties. Dressed in Blundstone boots and a lumberjack shirt, I consulted my Melways to en sure I knew how best to get there.

I grabbed my regular sized cheque and headed down to the bank. As I strode into the branch, the scene that greeted me was like something from, if not another century, then from some

time other than the nineteen nineties. There were no counters, no tellers and no pens on a chain. How they even had the nerve to call themselves a bank, I’ll never know. Instead, there was modular furniture and a series of small workstations and a tasteful pot plant. I thought I knew how banks worked. Turns out, I knew nothing at all. A polite lady approached me and asked if she could help. Struck dumb as a result of sensory overload, all I could do was point mutely at the cheque in my hands. The lady smiled and shook her head, telling me that they didn’t accept cheques at this bank and that I’d need to deposit it some other way. As I stood in the middle of the bank branch / modular furniture showroom, it occurred to me that I was standing in the wrong bank. That is, not the wrong type of branch but the wrong financial institution altogether. I began to back away while still keeping eye contact, lest the helpful lady wanted to sell me a pot plant.

As it turns out, all I had to do was scan the cheque with my phone. It almost made the Internet seem worth while. It’s funny how activities that were once pivotal are relegated to novelty status. Who knows when I’ll see a cheque again? Or how long it will be before I need to set foot inside a branch? Truth is, if I ever attend a bank again, I’ll probably travel by hoverboard. By that time, I’ll just be getting over the embarrassment at hav ing gone to the wrong bank. Maybe. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Bowling Green Opened at Frankston

Compiled by Cameron McCullough

WHEN Mr. A. Taylor, of the Pier Hotel, took up his residence in Frankston about 12 months ago, he stated that he could not live in a town that did not posses a bowling green.

As the Frankston people did not make a further move to procure a green after their rebuff in connection with the foreshore proposition, Mr. Taylor proceeded to make a bowling green of his own.

He selected an attractive spot at the rear of the Pier Hotel, and yesterday witnessed the opening of as pretty a little green as one would wish to see.

Before coming to Frankston, Mr. Taylor was a prominent member of the Williamstown Bowling Club, and yesterday a large party of Williamstown bowlers visited Frankston to take part in the opening ceremony.

The visitors included a number of the city councillors and other prominent citizens of Williamstown.

They were met by a large number, of Frankston ladies and gentlemen, who assembled to take part in the proceedings.

Mr. Stephen Mills, of the Williamstown Bowling Club, in declaring the green open for play, said the Frankston people should feel grateful to Mr. Taylor for providing them with a green.

It was sign of progress. No progressive town was without its bowling green.

He advised the Frankston people to try and make arrangements with Mr. Taylor for a lease of the green, so that they could form their own club

and run it as they wished. It would be a great benefit to Frankston in every way.

Mr. Mills then called on Miss Doris Macnab to throw the first jack, and Mrs. Taylor to throw the first bowl.

The ladies named carried out their tasks as to the manner born amidst rounds of applause.

The visitors were entertained at afternoon tea, provided by Mrs. Taylor.

Great Interest was taken in the match Frankston v. Williamstown, in which the home team proved victorious.

MR. and Mrs. Arthur. Wilcox and family are at present spending a few weeks’ holiday at Frankston.

A NUMBER of Frankston friends were present at the funeral of Mr. H. Anderson, who was buried in the Boorandara cemetery on Monday last.

The service at the graveside was conducted by Mr. W. E. Watkins, minister in charge of the Frankston Presbyterian Church.

A CASE of interest to Carrum residents was heard in the County Court at Melbourne on 16th inst, before Judge Woinarski, when Messrs Birtchnell Bros. & Porter, well known city estate agents, having large land interests in and around Carrum, sued Mr. A. E. Mudge and his wife, local residents, for £120 damages, for trespass on and use and occupation of the plaintiffs’ land.

The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants (Mr. Mudge and his wife) having purchased a block of land

from the plaintiffs, used and occupied ether land of the plaintiffs adjoining, and erected tents thereon without being authorised by the plaintiffs to do so.

The plaintiffs’ claim was based on such alleged trespass and unauthorised use of the plaintiffs’ land.

The defendants pleaded that there had been no trespass by them, and that any use and occupation by them of the plaintiffs’ land was with the plaintiffs’ consent and approval.

Judge Wolnarski, after hearing the evidence, stated that he was satisfied that the memory of Mr. L. A. Birtchnell, the principal witness for the plaintiffs, was not dependable, and that the defendants had satisfied him that the plaintiffs had given leave and license for such use and occupation as alleged.

The plaintiffs’ claim was not allowed, and a verdict with costs was given for the defendants, for whom Mr. Magennis’ appeared, instructed by Mr. L. R. N. Utber, of Frankston.

INDIFFERENCE OR WHAT?

The meeting called for Friday afternoon last with the object of ar ranging for Music Week in Frankston lapsed, because no one apparently was sufficiently interested to accept

the invitation of the conveners.

It is difficult to believe that Frankston residents are indifferent to the extent their want of action would imply and for the sake of the children of the district whose interests are chiefly concerned in this matter it is to be hoped that a further effort will be made to set the movement going.

Mr. Herbert Sutton, who wasted half a day on Friday would perhaps spare another hour or two to meet any half-dozen residents who feel that Frankston should not be without its Music Week, and are prepared to assist in arranging details.

MR. O. J. Olsen’s Buick car, which has been running for hire in this district, has a record to its credit that will take some beating.

During 15 months this car covered 16,000 miles, and to-day it appears to be little the worse for service.

The wonderful part of the achievement is that the distance stated was accomplished with the original set of Goodyear tyres furnished with the car, two of the tyres still being on the car.

This sounds something like a record, due no doubt in some measure to expert driving and careful handling.

Such an excellent performance must appeal strongly to anyone contemplat ing the purchase of a Buick car.

Mr. Olsen has received quite a num ber of enquiries into the 4-cylinder Buick, which car is suitable alike to trade and private use.

MIRTH and fun was the keynote of

the happy birthday party tendered by Mrs. H. Williams, of Aspendale, to her employee, Mr. Jack Armitage, on Tuesday evening, the occasion being his twenty-first birthday.

The function, which was celebrated in Mr. Kane’s garage, was attended by numerous young folk of the neighborhood, and several of the elders.

The evening’s entertainment comprised dancing and games, which were enjoyably indulged in by all present.

Vocal solos were excellently rendered by Mrs. Williams, Mr. Alf. Wright and Mr. Jim McKay. There was also a humorous song by Mr. Bert Walker.

Mr. Wright proved himself a capable M.C. on behalf of the young man in whose honor they were gathered together, and also on behalf of the company present, Mr. Wright, in a concise speech, thanked Mrs. Williams for the handsome evening’s entertainment she had provided.

Miss D. White, Mr. H. Zimmerman and Mr. Alf. Wright each in turn presided at the piano, and Mr. Bert White’s services with his violin were appreciated.

A tasteful supper was partaken of and innumerable sweets, cigars, and cigarettes were distributed by the hostess.

Warm thanks were extended to Mr. Mann for the use of his commodious garage and piano, also to all who assisted in making the evening such an undoubted success.

No need for a cold call, I’ll call you (if needed)

Real estate agents in Mount Eliza have been cold calling my home, offering to list our prop erty and informing me of the wonderful prices being achieved in our area.

I have issues with this initiative. First, as members of our local community I would have expected they would understand that our privacy is important to us, and that their calls are unsolicited, intrusive and unwanted. This applies particularly to those of us who are of a particular later life demographic.

Secondly, our number is private and not listed in any phone book or other authorised listing. This implies that the agents are using a “list” acquired from a third party. I have not given any listing vendor the right to use my number.

If real estate agents wish to inform me of the great opportunities their services may give me, then please drop a letter or dodger in my letter box. I can decide what steps to take, although most often it is in the recycle bin, as my letter box cries out “no advertising materials”.

So, listen in agents: desist, stop phoning me.

Howard Mitchell, Mount Eliza

Rail against time

I was very disappointed to read that the “Victorian Liberals have promised to extend the Frankston train line to Baxter if they win the state election” (“Huge rail announcements before state election” The Times 11/10/22).

In the last state election it was mooted at a cost of around $500 million, which has now in creased to $971m, with a business case in 2020 revealing that it could cost $1.5 billion.

This is an incredible amount of money for something that is adequately serviced by a small diesel carriage (whose timetable could be revised if required) and would cause wide scale clearance of native vegetation.

The Liberal claims of “so long overdue”, “gets people out of cars”, “service the hospital and university” and “help kids get to major sporting infrastructures” are grossly exagger ated.

I would like more of my taxes to be spent on sustainability.

For example, $100m would provide 100kw solar systems to 500 schools and $100m would finance feral proof fencing for roughly 170,000 hectares within national parks, thereby enhanc ing and protecting biodiversity.

All levels of government must embrace sustainability, or the natural functioning of our planet is doomed. Henry Kelsall, independ ent candidate for Frankston

Edbrooke misses train

Frankston is supposed to be represented in state parliament by Paul Edbrooke. However, Mr Edbrooke has steadfastly refused to help our region gain his government’s support for electrifying and extending the Frankston train line through Frankston East, Karingal and Langwarrin to Peninsula Link freeway.

For the first time our community was able to read why (“Baxter rail extension could wipe out homes, historic sites” The Times 18/10/22).

Mr Edbrooke claims the project could wipe out the historic Frankston signal box. Then don’t let it, Mr Edbrooke. The state govern ment has the final say over that decision.

He also claims the project potentially requires bulldozing of hundreds of homes. No it doesn’t. Acquisition of a sliver of a Monash University car park might be necessary for a new station, but at this early stage any op tion involving destruction of homes can be replaced by another alternative already on the table.

Mr Edbrooke says the project would mean destruction of 10 hectares of green wedge land. That’s not correct either. It might have been if train stabling was required, but the stabling was built at Seaford in 2020.

Frankston’s rail extension is a nationally recognised infrastructure project that the federal government is committed to building and has partially funded. It has a clear public benefit case and is one of only three national

infrastructure priority initiatives listed by Infrastructure Australia in 2020 as urgently needed by Victoria within the next five years.

Recommended by the state 92 years ago, it would replace the Stony Point service – the most unreliable train service in Melbourne and the only one using old, dirty diesel engines.

The only thing now stopping the rail exten sion is the support of Mr Edbrooke and his state Labor government. Come on Mr Ed brooke – it’s time you got on board. Rod Evenden, chair, Committee for Greater Frankston

Injecting debate

Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke is quoted as saying “I have people at my office asking me if their home is going to be bulldozed now”, but his office in Beach Street has been manned only in the last week after being empty for many months at taxpayers’ expense (“Labor rules out rail plan ‘without checks’” The News 18/10/22).

How could people go to his office to see if their house is to be bulldozed, or is it his staff he is talking about?

How much rail crossing removal work has been done in Frankston?

I did not find Edbrooke to be very convinc ing when he said that there was no proposal for a safe injecting room in Frankston. He should state more clearly if there will be an injecting room and whether he will oppose it.

Educational moves

While private school funding in Australia has increased five times the rate of public schools over the decade of COALition rule, only 17 per cent went to government schools, despite the fact that they educate about 65 per cent of all students and more than 80 per cent of the most disadvantaged students.

Victorian Liberals are promising private school a cash splash to bring “private facilities” up to date, while government schools languish in poverty.

There has been a disproportionate increase in executive salaries at independent schools, with some principals at large, capital city schools now earning well over $600,000 while average salary for a school principal is $80,481 a year in Victoria.

Matthew Guy and the Victorian Liberals are promising $175 million to Victorian private schools because exploiting JobKeeper wasn’t nearly enough.

The Gonski Institute for Education report was removed from the website by the COALition government after the 2013 election and ignored for the next decade.

On the other hand, Labor will upgrade More than 40 Victorian schools which will be made more inclusive for students with disabilities as part of a $7.89 million funding boost and a $6 billion hospitals project to build a new medical precinct in inner-Melbourne and upgrade two nearby facilities which has been billed as the biggest in Australian history.

Who knows what Mornington Peninsula Greens are about, other than worrying if a sausage sizzle fundraiser for the branch should not be held because it would offend some vegetarians?

Floods preventable

We lived at the Riverside Motel Wahgunyah on the Victorian bank of the Murray River for the past 20 years. We had a major flood in 2016 with the water 600mm below our floor level.

We have dodged a bullet and moved back to safe and secure Mount Eliza.

The motel may be flooded for the first time since it was built in 1973.

The sole reason for our current floods is that our dams are not big enough to hold all the water that falls as rain in wet years like this.

The Murray River has for the past 150 plus

years flooded or had a drought in six to 10year cycles. Sometimes it flooded two years running.

During the last drought, the environmen talists said we would never have heavy rain again, so the previous state government built a desalination plant.

Guess what, the heavy rain has returned. Our dams are not big enough carry all the excess water and they are now all overflowing causing massive flooding downstream.

This is the one in 200 year flood that we have not prepared for, and records have only been kept for 150 years.

In The management of our dams our state

government and the Murray-Darling Basin Authority is totally incompetent, they will not release water early for flood mitigation be cause they are not paid for it by the irrigators.

They would rather flood downstream com munities by letting out water when it is too late, to protect their dam walls. They have no consideration for the welfare of downstream communities, only maximise their profits

Lake Dartmouth is overflowing for the first time in 26 years, all of our existing dams are full, the excess water has to go somewhere. This whole disaster could have been pre vented.

Mount Eliza, Seaford apply to FV

SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie

MOUNT Eliza and Seaford United will apply to Football Victoria for a place in next season’s State 5 South.

Both clubs confirmed their intent last week after the state federation opened the application process out lining the wide-ranging criteria clubs must address in their application.

Mount Eliza is the new kid on the block as far as State League status is concerned and club president Justin Sheppard is keen to halt the annual player exodus from its senior squad currently competing under the Bay side Football Association banner.

“We keep losing players every year who want to play at a higher level,” Sheppard said.

“The majority of the current group want to try their hand at State 5 and we’ve got players coming to the club if our application is successful.

“We won’t be able to announce a coach until we find out if we are in State 5 but [selecting] the coaching staff has been done.”

Sheppard believes that State League status is key to embedding a develop ment pathway for a flourishing junior program with around 540 boys and 132 girls involved.

The club has 38 registered senior players.

Seaford United withdrew from State 4 South last February but will base its application for re-admission to State League on both its men’s and wom en’s programs.

“We’ve already been in State League so we know what’s involved,” president Willie Lynn said.

“We had an under-16s last season so we could always use those players in the reserves and it’s just a matter of approaching players for the senior team.”

Seaford has a men’s and women’s program and an established junior program.

In State 1 news Mornington has clinched the signature of NPL goal keeper Fraser Maclaren.

The former Beaumaris, Melbourne Victory, South Melbourne and Dan denong Thunder custodian recently ended a second stint with Langwarrin.

Mornington coach Adam Jamieson has chased Maclaren for some time and the 27-year-old keeper didn’t need much convincing to make the move to

Dallas Brooks Park.

“For a couple of years now ‘Jamo’ has chased me and I think with the way they’re going and the squad they’re building I thought ‘why not give it a crack?’ Maclaren said.

“Their aim is to get promoted and I know half the boys down there any way.”

When Maclaren left Langwarrin he was expected to return to his boyhood club Beaumaris which had won pro motion to NPL3 but the opportunity wasn’t there.

“Beaumaris is happy with its squad and they’ve got a goalkeeper so I said to the coach ‘while you’ve got a keep er there’s no time for discussion’.

“I said if there had been a position available then we’d sit down and talk.”

Maclaren’s departure from Langy wasn’t pleasant but he doesn’t have a lot to say about that.

“I’m disappointed over a number of things that happened and the way things ended but I’m happy to draw a line under what was a challenging year last season,” he said.

“I’m excited to join a club with great ambition and to continue a great cul

ture.”

In State 2 news Frankston Pines has signed striker Antonio Marcuccio from rival Berwick City.

The 20-year-old was at Berwick when Pines’ head coach Trevor John ston was there.

“He played at Comets last season then went back to Berwick and scored 12 goals in 12 games,” Johnston said.

“He’s a play-off-the-shoulder type, he’s super quick with a good eye for goal and he’ll be a good addition see ing as how we’ve lost Liam Baxter.”

Pines also are tracking a South American import and hope to wel come him to Monterey Reserve early next year.

The club refused to name him until confirmation of his visa approval.

Star Pines midfielder Thomas Dunn returned from his native Fiji on Friday and the 19-year-old has been quoted by FijiLive as being keen to represent his country in next year’s Under-20s World Cup finals.

Indonesia is hosting the tournament which runs from 20 May to 11 June.

“We’re not sure how many games Thomas could miss but we’re very

you know... you can view our papers

supportive of him playing for his country,” Johnston said.

Meanwhile Jason Symonds shunned overtures from Mornington last week re-affirming his recent appointment to the coaching panel at Peninsula Strik ers.

Mornington was keen to get Sy monds to return to Dallas Brooks Park to continue his developmental work with its reserves squad.

“I was on holiday last week so I had time to think things through and I’m staying at Strikers,” he said.

Symonds’ son Ben also has made the switch to Centenary Park.

He won the best and fairest in Morn ington’s reserves last season and his father thinks that the 19-year-old will have more chance of senior game time at Strikers.

“I love Mornington and I’ve got a very good relationship with ‘Jamo’ but I’ve also got a good relationship with ‘Scotty’ (Strikers’ joint senior coach Scott Morrison) and it’s pretty excit ing what Strikers are doing.

“It’s a great opportunity for Ben to step up and it’s also an opportunity for me to help Strikers.”

Sudoku and crossword solutions

In State 4 news Somerville Eagles have signed winger Reilly Saffin and are close to agreeing with five other newcomers one of whom is former player Chris Thomas.

Thomas joined the Eagles from Sea ford United then switched to Dande nong South this year.

Saffin, 19, has played with Morning ton and Skye United and can play on either side of the pitch.

Somerville head coach Adam Steele will start pre-season training on Tues day 15 November and expects all cur rent and prospective players to attend.

“We’re focussing mainly on the resignings right now,” Steele said.

Josh Simmons, Tom Simmons, Joe Simmons, Sam Beadle, Conor Mc Fall, Connor Carson, Nick Bucello, Tom Pollock, Zach Karolidis and Joel Wade have re-committed for next sea son.

“We’ll definitely be bringing in new players and the ones we’ve been talk ing to are 80 to 90 percent over the line,” Steele added.

“We’ll be making those announce ments prior to Christmas.”
