More consultation for ‘radical’ housing strategy changes

Fell short Edithvale-Aspendale couldn’t get the win in a hotly contested game against Pines. See sports page 13. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A MOTION for Kingston Council to put out a flier with “more information” about their housing strategy and neighbourhood character study has failed. A flier is already being sent out to residents in the Kingston municipality about the draft housing strategy, which was sent out to consultation at an April Kingston Council meeting. That consultation period will last until 2 August. Kingston councillor Rosemary West raised a notice of motion at the 24 June council meeting to request that “council officers provide a report for the next special or ordinary meeting and a prior CIS discussion including the following information in an extra flier to go to all Kingston residents”. The proposed flier would state that “about 25 per cent of Kingston’s residential area is proposed to be rezoned from the interim General Residential Zone 3 (GRZ3), with a 9 metre height limit, to a new GRZ, mostly with an 11 metre height limit” and that “in the roughly 50 per cent of Kingston’s residential area that will keep its 9 metre height limit in the new Neighbourhood Residential Zone (NRZ), the provision that has discouraged twostorey development in the backyards of the former Residential 3/GRZ3 areas is proposed to be removed, and the provision for only two dwellings on an average-sized lot, (with proportionally more on larger lots) is proposed to be removed.” That motion failed with Crs West and Steve Staikos voting in favour. Cr West said “unfortunately, I had hoped when I lodged this notice of motion that this information could have been provided in what council is sending out. Unfortu-

nately council proceeded in sending out a flier that does not include any more information than what council has already provided.” “The result of that prior information the council has handed out is overwhelmingly that most people have not heard of the council housing strategy and do not realise it’s going to impact them. “The proposal that council is putting up, the council’s new housing strategy, is probably the most radical increase in development and density in Kingston that I have seen on my 16 years on council. I think it is really important that all Kingston residents are informed of this so they can work out how they are affected.” Cr Geoff Gledhill said “what [council officers] are trying to do is they’re trying to follow a process that is designed and is proven to deliver an outcome. “It’s about time we stuck to the process and brought this back to council when all the consultation is completed, nobody should make assumptions, we will then determine based on what our community wants and what is best for Kingston going forward.” The mayor Georgina Oxley said council “don’t want to predetermine what any of our residents are going to think. We’ve heard from quite a lot of them already and quite a few of them, particularly down in my ward, aren’t supportive of the three storeys that’s been indicated in a lot of their areas.” “There are people who do want to engage with us which is why were going to send a flier out to every resident so they are aware and so if they do want to engage with us they are given the option, but we’re not going to tell them what to think. It’s up to them to make up their own mind.” Continued Page 3

itage register in May. The motion was moved by Cr Rosemary West at council’s most recent public meeting. She said “I think the Pompei Boatworks is iconic to the city of Kingston. It’s something that I know probably every time I’ve driven through Mordialloc, I’ve just taken note of that building and the heritage it represents.” “Unfortunately, the building has been sold and it is going to be developed, however the best we can hope now is that council can encourage the landowner to incorporate that building in his proposed future development,” she said.

Housing strategy changes mapped out Continued from Page 1 The map inside the draft housing strategy sees the municipality divided into four “housing change areas”. They are labelled as limited, incremental, transitional, and substantial. The draft document states that a limited change area represents “the lowest degree of intended residential growth and change in Kingston. Future housing will predominantly comprise detached houses and dual occupancies, on one to two storeys (nine metres).” The document states that an incremental change area “will encounter modest housing growth in the form of townhouse and unit development as well as detached houses. New housing will generally be up to two storeys (nine metres) (...) however low scale medium density housing of up to three storeys (11 metres) may be experienced.” A transitional change area is stated as being “very similar to incremental change areas” with new housing to generally be up to three storeys, 11 metres in height. A substantial change area is an area in which “housing change will generally be in the form of apartment, shoptop, townhouse and unit developments of four storeys (14 metres).” Consultation on the plan is open until 2 August. To make a submission or view the draft document, visit yourkingstonyoursay.com.au/HSNCS.

Super ripoffs ‘rife’ Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au EMPLOYERS owe more than $9 million in superannuation to workers in Mordialloc according to an Industry Super Australia analysis. More than 4700 Mordialloc workers have been missing out on super according to the analysis of tax office date from 2016/2017 conducted by ex-treasury official Phil Gallagher. Industry Super Australia chief executive Bernie Dean said the recent allegations of workers at the Bay hotel being underpaid (“Former Bay Hotel workers push for pay”, The News, 12/6/19) shows “just how rife unpaid super is.”

“Allowing employers to continue robbing workers in Mordialloc of their super entitlement means these workers are going to end up worse off at retirement. It’s daylight robbery and cannot continue,” Mr Dean said. “While most employers do the right thing, unless we see action from our national politicians, dodgy employers are going to continue taking advantage of lax laws, a weak regulator and insufficient penalties to rip off these hard working Australians. “The easiest way to end this exploitation and ensure Mordialloc workers are paid their super is to simply legislate that all employers must deposit money into a workers super account at the same time as they deposit their salary into their bank account.”

The pay: An ISA analysis has found over 4700 Mordialloc workers have not received superannuation. Workers at the Bay Hotel in Mordialloc alleged that they were underpaid. Picture: Gary Sissons

Police presence during holidays AN increased police presence will be seen during the school holidays as officers from the Kingston police service area implement operation Australis.

Local area commander inspector Matthew Mulcahy said the operation would provide a highly visible police presence to enable people to have a safe and enjoyable time during the busy school holiday period. “During the school holidays, evidence shows that offences increase, including theft of and theft from motor vehicle and shoplifting,’’ said Inspector Mulcahy. “Our proactive policing unit will be working closely with local business owners to address any security issues and implement crime prevention measures. “We also know there will be an increase in traffic on our roads so local highway patrol officers will be stepping up patrols. “Pedestrians are among one of our most vulnerable road users and we’ll be out in force to ensure that everyone can enjoy the holidays safely. “People can go about their day to day business knowing police are proactively aiming to reduce crime, public order issues and antisocial behaviour in our community.”

Monitor’s stay extended Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council’s municipal monitor is set for an extended stay. The state government appointed monitor Prue Digby to investigate and prepare a report on Frankston Council in December of 2017, with her tenure due to end in June this year. In the wake of former council CEO Dennis Hovenden’s resignation, Ms Digby has had her stay extended until the appointment of a new permanent CEO. Questions from The News about the monitor’s stay were directed to the department of environment, land, water and planning. A statement from the department read that “the current municipal monitor to Frankston City Council, Prue Digby, will continue as monitor to the council. From 1 July her terms of reference will be to monitor, advise and assist the council in relation to its actions and processes concerning to the recruitment and appointment of a permanent chief executive officer to fill the position caused by the recent resignation of Dennis Hovenden.” “The monitor’s appointment will conclude when the new CEO has commenced their role at the council. The CEO performs an integral role in providing support and advice to the council about its role, obligations and strategic direction, as well as delivering council services. It is important that the council undertakes its hiring processes for the new CEO appropriately,” the statement said. Frankston Council mayor Michael O’Reilly told The News last week that by April of this year, the monitor had cost ratepayers close to $94,000. He also said that the monitor has no requirements to submit her report to council upon the conclusion of her tenure. “It’s evident that since Prue was appointed, council meetings have been running more efficiently and effectively, and that the number of notices of motion have reduced. This is largely

due to councillors now working alongside officers to investigate their merit and viability prior to submitting,” Cr O’Reilly said. There are currently municipal monitors at South Gippsland Shire Council, Frankston City Council, Greater Geelong City Council and Ararat Rural City Council. The South Gippsland Shire Council was sacked by the state government last month.

Who’s next?: Municipal monitor Prue Digby will continue her stay at council to oversee its permanent appointment of a new CEO. Their former CEO Dennis Hovenden (below) resigned last month. Picture: Supplied

Taking charge: Phil Cantillon has been appointed interim CEO of Frankston Council in the wake of former CEO Dennis Hovenden’s resignation. Picture: Supplied

Interim CEO appointed Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au PHIL Cantillon has been appointed as temporary CEO of Frankston Council. Mr Cantillon has been at council since October of 2017 as director of community assets. He had previously been at Baw Baw Shire Council, including an eight month stint as their interim CEO in 2017. Prior to that he had worked with roads and maritime services and the department of state growth Tasmania. Mr Cantillon said “I’m extremely excited about this opportunity, and look forward to leading the organisation until a permanent CEO is appointed.”

He takes over from outgoing CEO Dennis Hovenden, whose last official day was on June 30. Mr Hovenden was due to finish a four year contract in October. He first arrived at council in 2012 after departing a position as CEO of Swan Hill Rural City Council. When asked why he was resigning early, Mr Hovenden last week only provided a short statement to The Times that read “I have enjoyed working with council and the staff over the past seven years. I now look forward to taking a break with my family and wish Frankston City Council every success for the future.” The mayor Michael O’Reilly confirmed that Mr Hovenden would “receive all his statutory entitlements”.”

IN THE specialists HANDS HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

Your Hearing Questions Answered Is it important for patients to see an audiologist if they think they may be having difficulties hearing? Yes, if you are starting to notice difficulties it’s important to have a full hearing test. We don’t just test which sounds you can hear, we also check how clearly you can understand speech, in quiet and in background noise. Some common indications that you may have a hearing loss are: Turning the TV up Frequently asking for repeats Not being able to hear properly on the telephone Difficulty in noisy situations such as restaurants Missing out on important parts of the conversation Often your partner or a close family member may be the first person to notice that you are having difficulty hearing. Is it true that a lot of patients don’t actually need hearing aids? Yes. Probably 25 percent of those that we see do choose to get hearing aids. Some people have a little bit of hearing loss that we just need to talk about, and continue to monitor. Are there steps people who aren’t ready for hearing aids can do to help combat hearing loss? Yes. Pick a seat in a restaurant where

you can see the faces of the people that you are taking to. This can make it easier to follow what they are saying. With the television, if you’re not ready for hearing aids, we can get a set of cordless headphones. These can be one of the best options for hearing the TV clearly. Are there ever very simple solutions to hearing loss? Yes. Sometimes a hearing loss can be caused by ear wax blocking the canal. If someone needs a hearing aid, should they always choose the most expensive, top-of-the-line model? Most people don’t need the most expensive hearing aids, fully loaded with all the bells and whistles. It really is patient specific. You don’t always need the absolute top-of theline hearing aid technology, if the features that you need are available in something less expensive. At Chelsea Hearing, we always offer you a range of options, and it is up to you to choose something that you are comfortable with. You should never feel pressured to proceed with hearing aids that you don’t feel ready for. Are smaller hearing aids more expensive? Generally, the style of the hearing aid does not have very much impact on the price. There are very good, small hearing aids available at all price points. Larger hearing aids are not necessarily less expensive either. The good news

is that the very small, comfortable hearing aids are suitable for most people these days. How much do hearing aids cost? Most people who are on a Centrelink pension (such as an age pension or a disability pension) are eligible for the Office of Hearing Services Voucher program. This enables them to choose from a range of hearing aids that are “free-to-client”. These hearing aids have improved significantly over the past few years, and a lot of people are pleasantly surprised at how natural they sound, and how small and comfortable they can be. Pensioners can also choose to contribute to more expensive hearing aids if they wish. For people who are not eligible for the voucher program, hearing aids typically start at $2,700 for a pair. What brand of hearing aids to you recommend? Chelsea Hearing is an independent clinic. We fit hearing aids from all of the major manufacturers. Our recommendations are made after we have tested your hearing, looked in your ears, and had a discussion about the things that you want to hear well. We also take the time to consider your preference for style and size of the hearing aids, as well as your budget. We will recommend the most appropriate hearing aids for you, and we will always give you a range of options to choose from.

What is your philosophy on health care? If I wouldn’t do it for my Mum or Dad, I don’t do it for a patient. When I’m making recommendations for a patient, I think “if this was my mum or dad, with this hearing loss, and these difficulties, would I be making the same recommendations?”. If the answer is “yes”, then I know I’m doing my best for a patient. What does the relationship you have with your patients mean to you? The patient comes first. The patient is your customer and you want to have the healthiest, happiest patient that you can. That makes me happy as well. To know that we are helping that patient to be happy is just rewarding. What is one thing about your job that really sticks out in a positive way? It’s really nice to be able to make a difference for people. Often the partner of the person with a hearing loss may have been repeating themselves and having to speak louder for years. When we help with a hearing loss (often with hearing aids) it’s often the family members who notice the benefit first. Suddenly they don’t have to repeat everything, and they don’t get so tired from speaking loudly all day. It can make a big difference for the whole family.

the right pace of the individual patient. Some people come in here, and they know they want to get hearing aids and they want to get it all happening as quickly as possible. Other people come in, and they are having some difficulties hearing, but they don’t know if they have a hearing loss. They may need a little bit more time to understand their hearing loss, and the options available. It doesn’t help anyone to push someone in to getting hearing aids before they are ready for them, or to pressure someone to purchase hearing aids that cost more than they are comfortable with. Sometimes the best thing to do is explain what’s causing the problem, and what solutions are available. It can also be helpful to bring your partner or a close family member to your appointment with you.

Do you have rules that you live by when treating patients? My number one rule is to take things at

Help for homeless tops shopping list Eye for a bargain: SalvoCare Eastern Rosebud coordinator Judy Cooper and rooming house outreach worker Colm Browne at the supermarket. Picture: Yanni

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

to homelessness. They would particularly suit those facing eviction from their former homes in caravan parks, such as Capel Caravan Park, which is making way for development. The small houses project – being run by former Liberal candidate for

Nepean Russell Joseph and affordable housing advocate Wayne Iremonger – could be established in eco-villages in semi-rural locations or unused public land. “I applaud what Russell and Wayne are trying to do,” Ms Cooper said.

“Any form of accommodation would help be it a Tiny House, converted barn, rental property, or a caravan park. “We just need something because there is very little public housing here.” She estimated about 60 people slept rough on the foreshore each night.

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

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

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

PAGE 10

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

Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News 3 July 2019

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

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

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

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

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

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

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

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

Bulldogs shock Stonecats DIVISION ONE

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

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

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

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

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

Blues fall short against Hillmen DIVISION TWO

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

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

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

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

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

From Sacramento to Southern SOCCER

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

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

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

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

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

Juniors top of the table By Stephen Taylor DINNER table conversations might understandably lean towards table tennis at the Hollow family home. Charlie Hollow, 10, and his sister Georgia, 8, are gearing up for the Australian junior championships at Wollongong next week before Charlie heads to New Zealand to play for Australia in late September. The children, who live in Mt Martha and attend Mt Martha Primary, train at the Mornington Table Tennis Club in Dunns Road, Mornington. Dad Scott Hollow said table tennis had played a big role in the family’s past. “The children’s grandfather, Robert, played for Victoria 70 years ago and I played at Coburg back in the 1980s as a 12 to 15 year old,” he said. “Although I never made the state team I always wanted to come back to play. Charlie was playing tennis so I bought a table tennis table for him to play on at home. “You could see he was instantly good at it so we decided to check out the local club as I was also keen to get back into competition.” Charlie has been playing for just over two years and Georgia around eight months. This will be their second time playing for Victoria after competing at Townsville last year. “Georgia wasn’t playing until the state body broken her arm and, seeing Georgia was going to Townsville anyway, would she play?,” Mr Hollow said. “She had four to five weeks to get some training into her as she had not really done any practice before that. “We didn’t expect much, but she actually won three matches. She was seven at the time which I think was the youngest ever. She still has another three years in the under-11s.” Mr Hollow said Georgia also played basketball for the Mornington Breakers representative side as well as soccer. “She is not as serious as Charlie at table tennis yet, but is just as talented.” Both the children “love to win and hate losing”, he added. “Charlie has been really focused on table tennis for the past 12 months and is determined to be the best in Australia. He trains around 15 plus hours a week and plays the local pennant which next season will be in the top grade at the club. “He wants to play for Australia at the Olympics and is stoked to be repre-

senting Australia at the New Zealand open. He is always focused when training and is a very good listener to his coach Sam Palmer. He takes everything on board.” Success does not come without hard work. In the first week of the school holidays the players train seven to nine hours a day at camp in the week leading up to the nationals. More international competition comes later in December when Mornington Table Tennis Club hosts the 2020 Oceania Olympic qualifier event. “Basically, all the countries from Oceania need to play this event to earn the right to send their athletes to the Olympics,” Mr Hollow said. It’s odds on Charlie is taking all this in and setting himself new goals.
