Contract awarded for next section of divisive Bay Trail Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON councillors have clashed again over the divisive Bay Trail, with the decision to award a contract for the next section of construction decided on a vote of five to four at last week’s council meeting. A motion at the 27 May meeting passed to hand the contract for the construction of the project between Naples Road in Mentone and Rennison Street in Parkdale to CDN Constructors Pty Ltd for a lump sum of a little over $5.1 million. A contingency
allowance of $515,544 to “cover unexpected financial variations relating to the works” was also approved as part of the motion. Council’s CEO was directed to execute the contract by 29 May. Council agreed to amend a motion passed in December 2018 that stated that the contract be awarded to CDN Constructors Pty Ltd for a lump sum of $3.37 million. Following that meeting council advocated to VicRoads to not include the resurfacing of the road as part of the works. A compromise was reached where VicRoads would reimburse council up to $700,000 for those works.
Councillors Georgina Oxley, Rosemary West, David Eden, Steve Staikos, and Tamara Barth voted in favour, while Crs Tamsin Bearsley, Geoff Gledhill, George Hua, and Ron Brownlees voted against. The mayor Georgina Oxley said “VicRoads had originally requested that the city to spend approximately $1.4 million on resurfacing works but we didn’t believe it was the most appropriate use of rate payers’ money and agreed to advocate against this cost.” “Council and VicRoads have since reached an agreement to share the cost and the project has received approval
from the state. This is a great outcome for everyone in the community and will ensure there is a safe road, offroad cycling and walking path available for everyone, next to the foreshore. “At the May 27 Ordinary Council Meeting, it was agreed that the previous contract approved in December 2018 would be amended, to allow for a new contract to be signed to get construction underway.” Cr Brownlees said at the meeting “I was supportive of the bay trail right up until last year (..) when we started this mucking around with the trees business. That was never ever considered as part of the proposal.”

“The community is pleading for our support, pleading for us to listen, pleading for answers and responses, and they’re being ignored,” he said. Cr West said “the point about this is this project has been delayed now for six months. What we’re seeing now is just the latest example of why it’s been delayed.” “It’s been delayed not because everyone didn’t think it was a good idea, but because there were conflicts among councillors about what was the best way to do it,” she said.

Heritage push for Pompei stumbles A PUSH at Kingston Council’s 27 May meeting to consider further heritage options for Pompei’s Landing in Mordialloc has failed. Councillors voted against asking “the industrial heritage consultant who provided council’s submission on the Pompei Boatworks to the February Heritage Council hearing to provide a recommendation to council in response to the Heritage Council’s recommendation that council consider a local heritage listing”. The Heritage Council rejected a
pitch to include the boatworks on the state’s heritage register last month (“Troubled water for Pompei’s heritage push”, The News, 29/5/19). Councillors Staikos, West, Eden and Oxley voted in favour. Crs Brownlees, Gledhill and Hua voted against. The remainder abstained.

Opposition to Bay Trail continues Continued from Page 1 Vocal opposers to the Bay Trail attended the meeting, heckling councillors from the public gallery to the point where the mayor Cr Oxley had to ask security to help keep them from interjecting. The Bay Trail debate came to a head earlier this year, when a vote was held in the absence of two councillors to refer the Bay Trail decision making process to IBAC for investigation. That decision was rescinded at a special meeting of
council the following week (“Trial on trail called off by divided council”, The News, 13/2/19). The narrowing of Beach Road and the planting of trees have been among the biggest points of contention for those opposed to the controversial project. Council CEO John Nevins told councillors that the report discussed at the 27 May council meeting “does not involve the planting of any trees.” “After 25 years of talk, Kingston is 100 per cent committed to finally
build the Bay Trail path filling in a significant missing section between Port Melbourne and Seaford. This will give young and inexperienced cyclists an alternative to riding along busy Beach Road,” the mayor Cr Oxley said. “Our plan meets all VicRoads and Australian safety standards, is supported by Bicycle Network Victoria as safe for cyclists and provides plenty of parking while protecting the most environmentally significant areas of vegetation.”

Push to punt out pokies problem Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au KINGSTON Council has launched a campaign to curb the negative influence of poker machines in the municipality. Punters in the Kingston municipality lost a whopping $86 million on pokies in the 2017-2018 financial year. Only eight municipalities in Victoria suffered higher losses than Kingston on electronic gaming machines. Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said that the “enough is enough” campaign would work to “raise community awareness of the harm caused by poker machines in our community, call on the Victorian Government to introduce stronger controls to minimise the number of poker machines in Kingston, and help people find other ways to spend their time and make community connections.” “There are 898 poker machines at 16 local venues, yet under Victorian Government laws our area could have up to 1,213 electronic gaming machines. And this number could grow further as our population increases,” she said. “This is despite the fact that Kingston consistently rates third in Victoria for licenced venues, sixth for number of poker machines and in the top 10 for amount of money lost. Enough is enough.” In July 2017 Kingston Council paid $25,000 to join the Alliance for Gambling Reform in an effort to reduce the impact of problem gam-
bling in the community. The Dingley International Hotel was the venue that raked in the most from gamblers’ losses in Kingston, with gamblers losing $15 million at its 90 gaming machines. The venue ranked 16th of 498 venues across Victoria by how much money was lost on their poker machines (“Pokies losses hit new high”, The News 8/8/18) .
Sports, schools, motorists target of state budget THE state budget handed down last week included cash for local roads, sports clubs, and schools. The budget held $7.8 million for a major refurbishment of classrooms at Skye Primary School, as well as $1 million towards St Anne’s in Seaford. Parkdale Secondary college received $967,000 to go towards classroom upgrades, while Mordialloc College had $856,000 allocated to it. $800,000 has been made available for upgrades at Patterson River Secondary College. The budget also contained boosts for a number of sporting grounds, including $4.5 million towards Aspendale Stingrays’ home ground at Kerr Crescent Reserve. $3.5 million was also allocated towards the construction of female friendly facility at Regents Park. $3.2 million will be put towards Roy Dore Recreation Reserve in Carrum, $2.6 million towards RF Miles Reserve, and
$350,000 towards Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve. The state government has allocated $2.3 million for a signalised intersection at Ballarto Road and Lyrebird Drive in Carrum Downs. Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “this upgrade will improve traffic flow, take the stress out of getting in and out of Lyrebird Drive and most importantly improve safety for our community. This upgrade will make it safer and easier for the 16,000 drivers that cross this intersection every day.” “We’re delivering what we promised, boosting safety and busting congestion at the intersection of Lyrebird Drive and Ballarto Road,” she said. Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said that funding for further level crossing removal works was a key part of the budget. “This budget continues to build on our record of getting rid of dangerous and frustrating level crossings, with Argyle Avenue, Chelsea Road, Swanpool Avenue level crossings to be consigned to history along with Balcombe, Edithvale, Park and Charman Roads level crossings,” he said.

THE state government budget handed down last week has allocated $6 million in funding towards “planning” for the redevelopment of Frankston Hospital. The Victorian Labor Party promised $562 million towards the project before the state election late last year. The promised funding was for “the redevelopment of Frankston Hospital to provide new hospital beds, operating theatres, expanded child and maternal health services, a new oncology ward and dedicated mental health services”. Budget papers show $6 million allocated towards “building a world class hospital for Frankston families” with no funding committed beyond the end of the 2019/2020 financial year. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke assured that there were no concerns around project’s funding, and that it was simply going through “various budgetary stages”. “There are contingencies that are in the budget, the funding is there. Projects like this go through various budgetary stages, you don’t just put $562 million on the table to be gathering interest. It might not fully come out in the next budget either,” he said. Victorian treasurer Tim Pallas said in question time that he “assures the people of Frankston that the allocations for this project are well and truly contained within the budget papers.” “Contingencies are not a side, they are accountable in the budget. That is exactly where you will find those allocations,” he said. Mr Edbrooke said that “construction is still expected to start in 2020, it should be late 2020. There’ll be planning done in the next 12 months, and that’ll inform the next budget.” “Because every Victorian should be able to get the care they need when they need it, this year’s budget includes $6 million to begin planning the redevelopment of Frankston Hospital,”

he said. “We are delivering on our commitment to create five new dedicated children’s emergency departments. This budget will kick start planning on the dedicated new space at Frankston Hospital, giving local parents peace of mind that their kids will get the calm and compassionate care in the moments that matter most. I’m proud of our investment to give people in Frankston the world class healthcare they deserve, close to home.” Funding was also allocated for planning of an

upgrade to Chisholm TAFE in Frankston. Frankston will also receive a share of the $150 million “car parks for commuters fund”, which will go towards the construction of 500 new parking spaces at Frankston train station. Sports in Frankston received a boost with the budget including $10 million toward the redevelopment of Jubilee Park which was promised in the leadup to the state election. The Pines Football Club will also benefit from the injection of $500,000 at Eric Bell Reserve.

Alleged thief runs into off duty officer
Painters not framed: CCTV images have been released of two men vandalising a train.
Police hunt Picasso copycat A VANDAL who spray painted a train while donning a blue beret, striped shirt, and white overcoat is on the run from police. Transit safety division investigators believe that two men jumped a fence next to a railway line while a train was stopped between Mordialloc and Aspendale stations between 4pm and 5pm, 11 September. The men graffitied the train, causing around $7500 worth of damage, and fled on foot. Alongside the man in the beret was a man in
a high-vis orange shirt. He was wearing a wide brim hat, similar to the one donned by Vincent Van Gogh in some of his self portraits. The wannabe artists have eluded police for six months, who have now put out a public appeal for information. CCTV images have been released of the two men police would like to speak to. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
A 17-YEAR-old girl has been charged with burglary, theft, obtain property by deception, and possess drug of dependence after allegedly stealing $40,000 worth of property from a Clarinda house. After allegedly stealing watches, handbags, foreign currency, credit cards, and jewellery, detectives obtained CCTV footage of the alleged offender using the stolen credit card. The footage was circulated among police officers and a sergeant from the Caulfield Divisional Response Unit recognised the alleged thief. While off duty a few days prior to the alleged crimes, the officer was asked by a girl on the train if she could use his phone to contact a friend. The officer obliged and days later, recognised the alleged thief as the girl who he had lent his phone to. Police established the identity of the girl and issued a search warrant. They attended a Chelsea property and recovered a majority of the allegedly stolen property the next day. The girl is expected at appear at a children’s court at a later date.
Man on meth caught at the wheel
A POLICE operation on Cranbourne-Frankston Road, 30 May, saw one motorist caught driving with meth in their system. State Highway patrol members were conducting a number plate recognition operation and intercepted a 41-year-old Mt Eliza man who was driving with a disqualified license. The man was given a roadside drug test and tested positive for methylamphetamine. He had lost his license due to a previous drug driving offence.
The man had his vehicle impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1042.00. He will receive a summons to attend court at a later date. Highway Patrol Sergeant Matthew Nott said “we make no apologies for taking people’s cars when they make the conscious decision to drive when they don’t have a licence. This is not a game, and people need to learn no licence means no driving, it’s as simple as that.” “Please drive, ride and walk safely, especially in poor weather conditions,” he said.
Mystery liquid deemed safe POLICE, CFA, and ambulance services attended a property at Heritage Drive, Skye, on 26 May after the discovery of a jerry can with an unknown substance in it. The jerry can was located and authorities were called at around 11.30 am. A 70 metre zone was cordoned off and neighbours were evacuated as a precaution. The liquid was eventually deemed safe and removed without incident.

Next stage of Alzheimer’s drug trial underway
Have you had a recent diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease?
ANAVEX2-73 CLINICAL TRIAL RECRUITING NOW ANAVEX2-73 is a new drug being researched for Alzheimer’s disease
Contact Study Site: Peninsula Therapeutic and Research Group 137 Frankston Flinders Rd, Frankston VIC 3199
Ph: 9770 1579 www.ptrg.com.au

PENINSULA Therapeutic and Research Group is part of an international trial testing a drug that aims to slow down cognitive decline in people with Alzheimer’s disease. The trial is recruiting 450 people, aged 60-85 living with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer’s disease. It aims to demonstrate that the drug, Anavex 2-73, shows benefits for those living with the disease. Dr Jennifer Grunfeld, principal investigator at Peninsula Therapeutic and Research Group, said she became interested in this trial following the promising results seen in an earlier Australian study, which achieved significant cognitive improvement in some participants. For many participants in the previous trial, there was no deterioration in their cognitive function. Some participants regained functions previously lost, such as the ability to paint and play the piano, while a person who re-sat the driving exam successfully regained their licence. The drug is a disease-modifying therapy and this trial will test whether the drug can stabilise
the progression of the disease. The trial is being run by American biopharmaceutical company, Anavex Life Services. If the trial is successful and Anavex 2-73 can modify the course of the disease, it would be a complete game changer in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Dr Jennifer Grunfeld, who has been running clinical trials in mental health and dementia for over 15 years said, “It is exciting to be able to provide patients in and around the Peninsula with access to clinical studies trialing the latest medications.” Peninsula Therapeutic and Research Group are located at 137 Frankston Flinders Road, Frankston and are currently looking for patients with a diagnosis of mild Alzheimer’s Disease to participate in their clinical trials. Patients do not require a referral to be seen at the clinic, there is no cost for consultations and travel costs are reimbursed. If you have any questions or are interested in participating in one of their research trials, please call the research nurse on 03 9770 1579 or email info@ptrg.com.au.

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

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
So Long Grumpy Cat, I Barely Knew You By Stuart McCullough FAREWELL, Tardar Sauce. Gone to that great scratching post in the sky. I barely got the chance to know you. Although I’m much more a dog person, it’s hard not to be somewhat floored by the sheer awesomeness of your achievements. Very few cats achieve stardom. Fat Cat, Felix, Hector the Safety Cat – you can count famous cats on one hand. But none of them can hold a candle to the legend of Tardar Sauce. My only regret is that most people know you by a stupid nick name rather than the one your owner gave you. Were I to say ‘Tardar Sauce’, I’d be greeted by a shrug of the shoulders. But should I say ‘Grumpy Cat’ everyone will instantly know what I’m talking about. The Internet sensation, Grumpy Cat, is no more. Having passed away peacefully at home, her grumpy countenance will no longer be available for memes, coffee mugs or assorted paraphernalia. It’s over. The impact is incalculable. It’s no secret that cats are one of the major factors behind the success of the Internet and, at this stage, it’s not clear whether the thing can continue without her. No one would have heard of YouTube if not for cat videos. The numbers tell the story. Grumpy Cat has more than eight million followers on Facebook. I don’t know much about social media, but that strikes me as a lot given that Grumpy Cat, presumably, can’t type. Grumpy Cat also has almost two and a half million followers on Instagram and one and half million on Twitter.
Which sounds like a lot until you realize that President Trump has around fifty million Twitter followers and, given that the comments of Grumpy Cat and the President are largely interchangeable, seems a touch rough on the cat.
I must say, I’m quite drawn to the phrase, ‘internet celebrity cat’ for a number of reasons. Firstly, I never thought I’d live long enough that those words would ever belong in the same sentence, much less a single phrase. Secondly, the fact that it is a
phrase means that there’s more than one of them. Which is astonishing. ‘Internet celebrity cat’ is now its own subcategory of fame. If there are telltale signs of an impending apocalypse, surely this is one. But Grumpy Cat was not just some cheap celebrity. You could spend tonnes of money on official Grumpy Cat merchandise by shelling out for one of the one thousand and eighty two items available for sale from her website. There are lots of t-shirts and hilarious mugs and, well, that’s about it. There’s only so much you can do with the ‘Grumpy Cat’ brand. It’s not as though you could release the official ‘Grumpy Cat’ set of Ginsu knives without shredding your credibility. That said, there is the ‘Grumpy Cat’ book. While it didn’t trouble the scorers at the Man Booker Prize, I may officially be jealous. The cat emerged in 2012 and quickly became a sensation. The following year, Grumpy Cat appeared at a festival called the ‘South by Southwest Interactive’ in Austin, Texas. Fans waited in line for hours just for the chance to meet her and the cat threw some serious shade over other festival guests including Neil Gaiman and Elon Musk. It was just the beginning. There was a film too. ‘Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever’ may not have set the box office alight, or if it did, it was solely an act of coldblooded revenge for people not having gone to see it. Released in 2014, it immediately wandered off into the bushes and hasn’t been seen since. I’m sure it’s for the best.
That’s not the only bump in the road. There have been, as they say in the biz, ‘legal issues’. These arose after ‘Grumpy Cat Limited’ partnered with a beverage firm to produce the ‘Grumppacino’. In case you’re wondering (and how could you not?) the Grumppacino is an iced coffee. However, it was later alleged that a range of other products were produced without permission including Grumpy Cat ground roasted coffee and, naturally enough, Grumpy Cat sued. And won a six-figure sum. It says something about the age in which we live. Quite what, I’m not sure, but something. The sheer weight of random fame is as bizarre as it is terrifying. Having said that, as I write I’m casting one eye over towards my dog lying on her mat and I’m beginning to wonder why she isn’t producing YouTube videos of her own, as a means of contributing to household expenses. That’s said, she’d be more likely to bury a t-shirt in the back yard than sell one. It’s a shame that the cat’s time on Earth was cut somewhat short. Whether it was the fame and the lifestyle that went with it is impossible to say. All I know is that poor old Tardar Sauce is gone and is never coming back. I’d say that we’ll never see her like again, but I just saw a YouTube video featuring a marmot repeatedly saying ‘Alan’ and I feel that the Tardar Sauce-shaped hole in my heart will be very quickly filled. That’s how it goes on the Internet. Grumpy Cat is dead. Long live Grumpy Cat. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Lord Jellicoe’s visit creates excitement Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE visit to our district of the Empire’s greatest naval hero Admiral Viscount Jellicoe naturally excited great interest locally and residents assembled in great numbers to bid him welcome. He arrived by special train at 10.50am on Wednesday last and was accompanied by members of his personal staff, including Commodore F. C. Dreyer and Lieutenant Colonel Robertson, of the Royal Air Force; the Acting Prime Minister (Mr Watt), the Acting Navy Minister (Mr Poynton), the Minister of Works and Railways (Mr Groom), Mr. J. R. Seattle, Director of Naval Works; Lieutenant–Colonel Goebel, in charge of the naval side of the Australian air force scheme, and Major Berriman, also of the Australian Air Forces. Lord Jellicoe was met at the Railway Station by the school children of Crib Point, Bittern, and Cowes, and the Boy Scouts of Cowes greeted him with the Scouts welcome. The children, who were lined up to form a Guard of Honor, flew their colors of red, White and blue. The Admiral received the welcome with a salute and his pleasant and kindly expression at once won the hearts of all. Councillor McFee, of Cowes welcomed Lord Jellicoe on behalf of the residents of Western Port. He referred to the many who had paid the supreme sacrifice in defence of Empire and spoke with pride and gratitude of the sailors and soldiers who had returned or were returning. In reply the Admiral thanked Cr McFee and the people for the hearty welcome accorded him. He remarked
that Crib Point reminded him of the Isle of Wight. He frequently visited Ventnor and Rhyll near which places his family was at present residing. He hoped to have the opportunity of visiting the places of the same name in Australia. He deeply sympathised with those who had lost their loved ones during the war. The district had every reason to be proud of the service rendered by those men and to him it was a source of gratification to know that some of the men from Philip Island had actually served with him in the Grand Fleet. The Admiral shook hands and spoke kindly words to Mrs Justie and Mr Mathews, who had lost sons at the war. All present then loudly cheered His Lordship and someone struck up “For he’s a jolly good fellow” in which everyone lustily joined. The party then boarded the train which steamed off to the Naval Base to the strains of the bag pipes. After lunch the visitors inspected the Base buildings and in the afternoon Lord Jellicoe proceeded down the channel in a launch as far as Port Western. He stated subsequently that the general surroundings resembled in many respects the waters off Spit Head. At 3.20pm the party left on the return journey to Melbourne, bearing away one of whom we are all very proud. The Children’s Part It was a pleasant sight to see all the school children assembled at Crib Point to do honor to Lord Jellicoe and the manner in which they carried out the duties allotted to them reflects the highest credit on the school masters of Crib Point, Bittern and Phillip Island schools.
The children from Phillip Island, who it is stated were carried free on the steamer by the generous order of Mr Sambell, marched from Stony Point headed by the Scouts patrol to the enlivening strains of the bag pipes, which warmed the hearts of the many good old Scots’ present. The Bittern children arrived on lorries bedecked with flags and the Empire colors. The Crib Point children headed by Master Arthur Emmine carrying the good old flag, marched to the place of meeting with much pride and determination to do their duty. All acquitted themselves admirably. *** NEXT Friday evening, in the Frankston Hall, a social evening will be given to a number of our boys recently returned from active service. *** THE Returned Soldiers of Frankston are holding a euchre party and dance on Wednesday, 11th June, when a good night’s enjoyment is assured. *** THE article which appeared in a recent issue of the “Standard,” dealing with seasonable gardening from the amateur standpoint has caused such favorable comment that we have arranged with the writer to supply a series of articles on the same subject and these will appear monthly. *** FRANKSTON School Board – The first meeting of the newly elected School Board was held at Frankston on Tuesday evening last to elect office bearers. Cr W. J. Oates was appointed president, Mr Mark Brody correspondent,
and Mr Nicholson treasurer. The Board will meet monthly in future. *** FRANKSTON Honor Avenue – Portion of the Repatriation vote allotted to the North Riding is being expended in making concrete guards to the Honor Avenue in Frankston. The returned soldiers employed are making good progress with the work which when completed will be both useful and ornamental. *** SAILORS Entertained —The first of a series of chars-a-banc runs organised by the Y.M.C.A. for sailors of New Zealand, was held on Wednesday, when 200 men visited Frankston, and were entertained at afternoon tea by the Wattle Club. On arrival the guests were received by Mrs Dalman, vice-pres., (Miss Gregory being absent through illness). Afternoon tea was served immediately, the tables being decorated with blue and white, the colors of the navy. Music was rendered by Miss Jessie Ford’s band while songs by Mrs Mann and a recitation by Miss McLean were well received. Mr Stephens (late Chief Stoker H.M.A.S. Australia) speaking for the Y.M.C.A. thanked the boys for all they had done also the ladies for the excellent entertainment provided. Sgt. Knill C.M.G. Croix de Guerre with palms responded on behalf of the men. He said they were all visiting Australia for the first time but they felt quite at home already. That day they had a pleasing intro-
duction to the “bush” of which they had heard much. *** RATEPAYERS are reminded that unless all rates are paid on or before the 10th June next their names will not appear on the new Assessment Rolls. As the annual elections take place in August all interested in the progress and good government of the shire should make sure that the privilege to vote is not taken from them. The sub division of the North Riding and the creation of the new Seaford Riding means that added interest will be given to the forthcoming contests. All the North Riding councillors retire and in addition to filling these vacancies there will be three new representatives to elect for Seaford Riding. All good citizens will want to be in the fun “when the whips are cracking.” *** AT the Dandenong Shire Council meeting on Monday, a letter was received from the Board of Health, forwarding instruction for local bodies in dealing with the epidemic. A communication came to hand (through the Board of Health) from the registrar of births and deaths at Dandenong, complaining that adequate steps were not being taken to prevent the spread of influenza in Dandenong. Cr. Pearson supported the statements embodied in the letter referred to, and said that persons from houses where the disease had been, should not be allowed to come and register deaths – for that meant spreading the disease. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 7 June 1919

Pythons nipped by the Buds DIVISION ONE
By Brodie Cowburn PINES have suffered a shock defeat for the second consecutive week after being bested by Rosebud at Olympic Oval. Looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss last week, Pines still didn’t look at their best in the first term. At the quarter time break Rosebud held a surprise eight point lead. Pines pushed back in the second quarter and took back the lead, and were up by 11 at the main break. Despite losing some momentum Rosebud refused to lie down, and with the difference standing at just one point going into the final term, the game looked poised to go down to the wire. The promise of a close finish was taken away when Rosebud ran away with it in the final term, kicking five goals to the Pythons’ two. Rosebud had to work hard, but eventually secured the win 11.10 (76) to 8.14 (62). Thomas Stoffels booted three goals for the Buds, while Josh Fisher also played at his best. Pines will have a chance to get back on track next week when they take on bottom of the ladder Mornington. Traditionally dominant Franskton YCW also struggled this weekend, as they fell short against Mt Eliza. The Stonecats looked a shell of the side which has dominated the league for the last decade, and only kicked one goal in the first half of the game. The Redlegs also struggled to put goals on the board, but were able to do enough to establish a buffer. They eventually got the win in a low scoring matchup 4.10 (34) to 7.10 (52). Mitch McCarthy and Shane Tennant were among the best for the victorious Redlegs. Dromana kept up their good start to life in the top division, claiming the four points against Bonbeach.
The Sharks went into quarter time with a narrow lead, but the Tigers got back on top in the second term. A see-sawing first half was contrasted by a one sided second, as Dromana blew the Sharks out of the water. An eight goals to three second half helped Dromana get the win over Bonbeach 13.15 (93) to 6.11 (47). At Regents Park, the Frankston Bombers recovered from a rough start to claim a win over Edithvale-Aspendale. Edi-Asp got things started on the right foot, leading at both the quarter and half time breaks. The Bombers were struggling to convert their chances, and would have been in a better position had they not kicked 3.10 in the first half. The Bombers steadied the ship and got back in the contest by kicking five straight in the third term. Up by two heading into the final quarter, the Bombers were able to kick away and secure a hard fought win. The final score read 8.10 (58) to 10.15 (75). The loss is particularly devastating for Edi-Asp, who have only notched one win for the year. At David Macfarlane Reserve, Sorrento fought off a brave Mornington outfit. The Bulldogs have struggled badly all season and look to be in danger of relegation. Up against the ladder leaders away from home, few would have expected them to be competitive. The Bulldogs had an answer for everything the Sharks threw at them, and led by less than 10 points at each break of play. Sorrento were able to run away with it on the final quarter by kicking seven goals, securing them the win 14.16 (100) to 10.6 (66). Leigh Poholke and Jackson Calder each kicked four goals for their respective sides.

Yabbies score dominant win at home DIVISION TWO
By Brodie Cowburn A STUNNING seven goals to one opening term has helped set Tyabb up for a massive win over Pearcedale at Bunguyan Reserve. The Yabbies have been among the strugglers this year, but had a chance to get a win over another struggling side in Pearcedale. Tyabb proved they are a side with plenty of ability by putting Pearcedale to the sword, eventually running away with a 92 point win. The final score read 20.9 (129) to 4.13 (37). Matthew Ravenall booted seven goals while his teammate Michael Altenkirch also chipped in with a bag of five. Another dominant display took place at Chelsea Reserve, as the travelling Red Hill solidified their status as the team to beat this year with an impressive win. Taking on Chelsea, Red Hill started positively and held the Seagulls goalless in the first term. Chelsea never looked a chance, as Red Hill put together another unbelievable performance, They have regularly destroyed sides this season, and Saturday proved no different. Chelsea could only manage three goals for the day as Red Hill claimed the win 3.7 (25) to 18.14 (122). Jonathon Ross booted six goals for the Hillmen, taking his tally to the year to 34. Things were a little closer at Lloyd Park as

Langwarrin hosted Hastings. Hastings went scoreless in the first term but hit back in the second to get within seven points. Although the Blues kept in touch all day, a five goals to one final quarter saw the Kangaroos win 10.15 (75) to 5.13 (43). Seaford also had to endure a tight game in order to claim the four points this weekend, as they hosted Devon Meadows. The Panthers got the upper hand early in the low scoring affair, and led by seven at the first break. The Tigers took the lead back in the second term and managed to keep the Panthers at an arm’s length for the remainder of the afternoon. Seaford were held to just one goal in the last quarter but had done enough to get the win 9.8 (62) to 8.5 (53). Somerville had no trouble finding the scoreboard against Rye, scoring a good comeback win. The Demons started off in charge, and led by 14 points at the first break. Somerville hit back in the second term and led by four at half time, with both sides finding the scoreboard without trouble. A six goals to one third term put the result beyond doubt, as Somerville ran away with it. The Demons couldn’t back up their good first half and eventually succumbed to defeat 20.12 (132) to 12.15 (87). Daniel Marshall and Ryan Gillis both booted five for the Eagles. Crib Point had another difficult afternoon, losing by over 100 points against Karingal. The Bulls rampaged through the Magpies, with Matthew Stanley booting seven goals and Marc Holt six.

Portelli, Etheridge, Jansz for Langy SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN agreed terms with Lucas Portelli and Max Etheridge last weekend and they are expected to make their debuts against Brunswick City on Saturday. Portelli is an 18-year-old central defender signed from Melbourne City and Langy tried to sign him before the start of the season. Etheridge, 28, is a former Morwell Pegasus, Bentleigh Greens and Mornington striker and has recently finished a second stint at Kingston City. Winger Brandon Jansz, 19, agreed terms with Langy last week. He is a former Melbourne Victory, South Melbourne, Mornington and Peninsula Strikers player and was signed from Springvale White Eagles. The player points system in force at NPL level forced Langwarrin to make room for their new signings so strikers Roddy Covarrubias and Johnny Kuol were released. Both players were shocked when told as Covarrubias has been one of Langy’s hardest workers this season while Kuol is a cult figure at the club due to his trademark somersault goal celebration. Jansz made his debut in last weekend’s 4-1 home loss to Whittlesea Ranges. A long-range effort from Luke Goulding in the 12th minute opened the scoring but Whittlesea levelled through Jose Ramires five minutes before half-time and second-half goals from Jonathan Datillo (2) and Lawrence Shuruma completed the scoreline. In NPLW news Southern United lost 7-0 to Alamein at Monterey Reserve last weekend. Southern’s under-19s lost 1-0 as did the under16s while the under-14s won 3-0 with goals from Rhiannon Kelleher (2) and Alex Jones and the under-12s lost 2-0. In State 1 news Mornington lost 1-0 at home against big-spending Nunawading City on Saturday. Adam Jamieson’s side was dealt a bodyblow when Sam Scott suffered a fractured fibula and ankle and had to be replaced by Chris McKenna after 24 minutes. Mornington will hold a mid-season review after its next match against Eltham Redbacks in a fortnight and may reset its goals for the remainder of the season. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers lost 2-0 at home to North Caulfield on Sunday. Strikers went into the match without suspended midfielder Grant Lane and Jon Guthrie who is recovering from a medial ligament strain while big Michael Hoogendyk was on the bench as he had battled flu throughout the previous week. A combination of poor finishing and remarkable reflex saves from North Caulfield keeper Sam Quinn kept Strikers at bay. Big John Prescott could have had five or six goals to his name while Anton Vulic couldn’t hit the target when Prescott sent him through in the 30th minute with just Quinn to beat. North Caulfield player-coach Ariel Rix was sent off from the technical area four minutes into

the second half after persistently complaining about refereeing decisions. His departure was greeted with a chorus of derisory laughter from home fans but the visitors were to have the last laugh. Strikers soon discovered that their first-half profligacy in front of goal was to continue throughout the second period. Hoogendyk and Matt Harrington came off the bench in the 65th minute with Harrington causing problems for North Caulfield down Strikers’ right flank and he twice set up Prescott to no avail. In the 78th minute Hoogendyk’s shot was blocked, Harrington’s shot from the rebound was blocked and when the ball fell to Jordan Avraham on the left he struck a low drive that flashed just wide of the far post. Just when it seemed that we were destined for a scoreless draw the visitors struck. Strikers had the ball in the back of the net in the 81st minute only to be denied by the linesman’s flag. North Caulfield quickly took the resultant free-kick and within seconds Benji Schneider was scooting down the right wing and his square ball across the face of goal was met by a sliding Shayan Missaghi for the opener. Four minutes later Joshua Hodes reacted quickest to a scramble inside the Strikers’ area and poked the ball past Strikers’ keeper Colin McCormack to make it 2-0. There was no way back now for the home side. In State 3 news Skye United earned bragging rights and stretched its winning streak to six games with a 2-0 win over Frankston Pines at Monterey Reserve last Friday night.

The bizarre elements of this match involved a half-time streaker and a second-half delay while someone left the ground to ask the driver sitting in his car parked directly behind the Pines goals to turn off high beam. Goodness knows what would have happened had the driver exercised their right to refuse the request. But there was some football played and Pines fashioned the first good chance after three minutes when CJ Hodgson squared the ball to Meron Negassi inside the area and his first-time shot was parried by Skye keeper Jonathan Crook. The opening goal came in the 12th minute when Skye broke quickly down the right and Mikey Turner played in big Daniel Attard whose first-time sidefoot was angled wide of Pines keeper Alfonso Cardinale. In the 24th minute Jason Nowakowksi was put through on the right of the area and his cutback was met at the back post by the incoming Mitch Blake for a tap-in and a hammer blow to the home team’s hopes from which it never recovered. Three minutes later Blake should have put Pines out of its misery but he blasted high and wide with just Cardinale to beat. But the miss-of-the-night award went to wee Turner after Attard put him through in the 63rd minute and the Scottish striker had his first attempt parried by Cardinale then ran onto the rebound and faced with an unguarded goal did the difficult thing by missing the target. Pines went into the match without experienced defender Daniel Mota who was ill, midfielder Serge Yanez was unavailable while striker Jason Bradbury is still on his honeymoon. Skye midfielder Jack Gallagher is overseas but

new signing Alex Rojas came off the bench in the second half and the former Northcote City, Dandenong City and South Springvale midfielder could play a vital role in the club’s promotion push. Midfielder Marcus Collier continues his rehab from ACL surgery and is expected to be back in action in six to eight weeks. In State 4 news Baxter lost 5-1 at home to Seaford United last weekend. Baxter went into this clash undermanned and its cause was all but lost after 14 minutes when both central defenders had to be substituted. Matt McDermott suffered a broken eye socket in a head clash in the 10th minute and Izaak Barr’s hamstring injury ended his involvement four minutes later. Barr was unlucky as the referee didn’t see the linesman flagging for offside and play continued forcing Barr to stretch out to block a shot heading for goal resulting in his injury. Dylan Waugh opened Seaford’s account in the 19th minute when he was put through and shielded the ball well on the left of the area before neatly clipping it past advancing Baxter keeper James Foster and into the far corner of goal. Foster stopped Seaford ending this as a contest in the first 45 minutes but he couldn’t stop a low Nic Ormond volley from just inside the area in the 56th minute after Baxter twice failed to clear properly. Seaford player-coach Matt Morris-Thomas replaced injured Waugh early in the second period and he headed in to make it 3-0 in the 68th minute then rounded Foster for a tap-in four minutes later. In the 74th minute Seaford keeper James Madafferi stopped Nat Daher from converting Baxter’s best chance but in the 83rd minute Lewis Gibson threaded the eye of the needle with a drive from the right of the area when Madafferi had anticipated a cross. Foster lost possession after diving low to stop a Morris-Thomas shot a minute later and Matthais Schwellinger strolled into goal to make it 5-1. In State 5 news Somerville missed a host of chances but kept its promotion chase on course with a 2-1 home win over Bunyip District last weekend. Ben Meiklem and Mark Pagliarulo scored for Somerville. Rosebud won 2-1 away against Hampton Park United with Chris Parry and Mike Durrance scoring for Rosebud while Aspendale’s goals in its 4-2 home loss to Endeavour Hills Fire came from Kenan Nuhanovic and Ben Garside Weinert. This weekend is a catch-up round for State League sides while there is a full NPL program for both men and women. There are just four matches featuring local clubs: This week’s games: Brunswick City v Langwarrin (Dunstan Reserve), Calder Utd v Southern Utd (Keilor Park Recreation Reserve), Brighton v Skye Utd (Dendy Park, pitch 5), Rosebud v Somerville Eagles (Olympic Park).
