Dreyfus home in Isaacs Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au WHILE the nation awaits the final outcome of the weekend federal election amid the possibility of a hung Parliament the result is done and dusted in the Isaacs electorate.

Labor MP Mark Dreyfus, shadow attorney-general and spokesperson for the arts, has been re-elected and his winning margin increased from 3.9 per cent at the 2013 election to 5.8 per cent with about 79 per cent of votes counted by the Australian Electoral Commission on Tuesday.

Mr Dreyfus had faced anti-sky rail

protests despite the Frankston line level crossings removal project being the responsibility of the Labor state government but Isaacs voters followed the nationwide trend of a swing to federal Labor in the 2 July poll.

“I am honoured and humbled to be returned as the representative for the great electorate of Isaacs,” Mr Dreyfus said.

“It has been a long election campaign and I look forward to keeping up the fight to make sure that the interests of our community are looked after.

“Local residents care about funding for schools and healthcare and this showed through in the results on election day.

“I thank local residents for their sup-

port on Saturday and I look forward to continuing to fight to make our great community even better.”

The Isaacs electorate covers Mordialloc, Edithvale, Chelsea, Carrum and Carrum Downs and includes parts of Keysborough, Noble Park and Dandenong.

Liberal challenger Garry Spencer, who had hoped to unseat Mr Dreyfus at the second attempt after eating into the sitting member’s margin in 2013, noted the swing to Labor in Isaacs was about 1.75 per cent less than the national average “largely due to sky rail” and thanked his Liberal Party supporters and voters who backed him.

“I congratulate Mark Dreyfus on win-

ning his fourth election in Isaacs,” Mr Spencer said.

He believes Labor will lose the seats of Mordialloc, Carrum and Frankston at the next state election if rail under road is not the preferred option for level crossings removals on the Frankston line.

While the Isaacs result was resolved on Saturday evening, neighbouring Dunkley remains tight and is one of several seats around the country that will decide whether the Coalition holds power, Labor wins government or a hung Parliament will be the outcome.

Liberal candidate for Dunkley Chris Crewther declared victory on Saturday

night but the count has tightened since then but it is still likely that he will see off the challenge of Labor’s Peta Murphy after absentee and postal votes are tallied by the AEC. Former small business minister Bruce Billson retired from politics after holding the seat of Dunkley - stretching from Frankston into Langwarrin, Skye and parts of Seaford and Mount Eliza and Mornington - for two decades and held a 5.6 per cent margin at the 2013 election.

A 5 per cent-plus swing to Labor there means the Liberals face a fight to keep a hold on the seat at future elections even if Mr Crewther gets over the line.

Aged care scrutiny

United front: Cr Ron Brownlees, left, SES Chelsea controller Ron Fitch, SES central region manager Ray Jasper, Mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley and SES Vic CEO Stephen Griffin with council’s statement of support for emergency services. Picture: Gary Sissons

Council backs SES units Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au RATE capping has caused some Victorian councils to reconsider how they provide funding to state emergency services but the message from Kingston Council is clear: ‘We stand by our SES volunteers’.

Kingston councillors at last month’s public council meeting unanimously backed unwavering support for the Chelsea SES Unit that responds to incidents across the Kingston and Frankston areas.

A statement of support was tabled to reaffirm council’s ongoing commitment to provide operational and accommodation support to the SES and its volunteers.

“Kingston has always enjoyed a really strong relationship with the Chelsea SES and this statement of support is simply putting in words our long-term commitment to support the SES and acknowledge the vital role they play in our community,” Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said.

Chelsea SES Unit controller Ron Fitch said he welcomed council’s formal statement of support.

“At a time when there is concern within some SES units regarding changes to the funding arrangements from local Council, this positive, ongoing support, once again confirms the great relationship Chelsea SES has always enjoyed with the City of Kingston.”

Kingston Council had previously indicated it had no intention of cutting

back support to both the Chelsea and Moorabbin SES units (‘SES safe from cash cuts’, The News 27/5/15) but a subsequent Melbourne tabloid newspaper report this year that claimed Kingston Council may ditch SES funding prompted councillors to reiterate support for emergency services volunteers last month.

Victoria SES chief executive officer Stephen Griffin welcomed Kingston Council’s public show of support for emergency services.

“The Victoria State Emergency Service are very supportive of Kingston Council and their commitment to the Chelsea Unit and we look forward to the ongoing relationship between the council, Chelsea SES Unit and the Kingston community.”

RECOMMENDATIONS made by the Victorian Ombudsman in the wake of the 2013 collapse of Mentone Gardens retirement home to prevent aged care residents losing bonds and deposits have been accepted by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Numerous regulatory failures by the DHHS prompted the state government to last year refund $4.33 million in aged care bonds and deposits lodged with retirement home Mentone Gardens to 34 former residents.

A scathing report by the Victorian Ombudsman noted the DHHS “failed in its regulatory role, missing opportunity after opportunity to identify the company’s precarious financial position” before the retirement home entered voluntary administration in September 2013 (‘Bonds lost as home goes bust’, The News 25/9/13).

A report by Ombudsman Deborah Glass following up recommendations was released last month and noted the state government department “is strengthening its oversight of Supported Residential Services in Victoria.

A compliance review will audit all SRS regarding management of residents’ money and trust accounts.

Elderly residents were left out of pocket, many losing their lives’ savings, when Mentone Gardens went into administration before the state government stepped in to authorise exgratia payments to cover the losses.

Mentone Gardens was operated by Parklane Assets Pty Ltd and “for much of its 25-year history” Parklane’s directors were a husband and wife, William and Gela Newitt.

Mr Newitt died in January 2014 and

Mrs Newitt resigned her directorship in 2011 but the Ombudsman noted in a report released last year that “she appears to have had effective control of the day-to-day management of the facility, particularly once the proprietor was admitted to a nursing home”.

Parklane Assets had been trading while insolvent for three years before going into administration and the Ombudsman found some of bonds and deposits monies that should have been held in trust accounts were transferred “to a related entity of Parklane”.

The DHHS had received several complaints from residents in the months and years leading up to Mentone Gardens’ administration buy had failed to satisfactorily investigate the financial position of the retirement home’s owner.

Mentone resident Allan Lorraine, 92, received an Order of Australia medal this year for his work in bringing the aged care home’s residents’ concerns to the attention of the Ombudsman. Mr Lorraine and his wife had lost about $400,000.

An email from the daughter of a 102-year-old former resident of Mentone Gardens was included in the Ombudsman report released last month.

“It has been a long and tortuous journey but from all bad comes good. The work of your team will now ensure that the Victorian Health Department will provide a better service for future Victorians and particularly vulnerable Victorians,” the email stated.

NEWS DESK Police patrol ‘Gun’ in hand

Towed in the hole: A Ballarat boater was dragged into Mordialloc Creek after running out of fuel during a celebration of the Mordialloc Boating and Angling Club’s 70th anniversary on Sunday.

Pic: Gary Sissons

Boat club’s 70th all at sea MORDIALLOC Boating and Angling Club sailed into its 70th anniversary celebrations at the weekend when a flotilla boats took part in a “sail past” from Mordialloc pier to Mentone at 10am on Sunday (3 June).

Club president David Flew said the boating and angling club, which now has 70 members, held its first meeting in July 1946 so the sail past was timed to coincide with that landmark.

“A group of boat owners got together then and formed what was then the Mordialloc Boat Owners Association,” he said.

“A whole heap of interesting people have been members of the club over the years. Jack Pompei was the original secretary.”

The sail past was followed by a luncheon at Doyles Hotel.

Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley and councillors Geoff Gledhill and Ron Brownlees attended the celebrations on the day.

The mayor was involved in an on-water operational matter when a boat owner from Ballarat “ran out of fuel” and was towed in to the creek by

a vessel with Cr Bearsley onboard.

Mr Flew said the so-called “rescue” was a perfect example of how boat owners in the area have looked out for each other over the past seven decades.

“All the people in the creek look after each other,” he said.

Mr Flew, who has been involved with the club for 15 years, said investment by Kingston Council in the dredging of the creek in the past few years had improved access for all boat owners.

“We’re really looking forward to the investment

by Parks Victoria in replacing the wave baffles,” he said.

“My understanding is the tender has closed and we hope they’ve got a successful bidder.”

New wave baffles will calm creek flow and protect boats anchored in the creek from potential damage.

“Boat owners come and go, boats come and go but the character of the creek with old-style wooden boats has continued,” Mr Flew said.

NEIGHBOURS called police when an obviously drunk and emotional man walked up and down Collins St, Mentone, making threats to kill, 8.20pm, Sunday 3 July. They said the man, 50, appeared to have a small gun in his hand and was saying he wanted “to end it all”. Various police units met at Mentone railway station and when confronted the offender told police the “gun” was actually a cigarette lighter. He obeyed their orders to walk outside and surrender. He was taken to hospital for assessment.

Medico, policeman bashed

A DOCTOR who went to help an obviously disturbed man outside a kebab restaurant in Boundary Rd, Mordialloc, was punched several times to his face causing cuts and bruising. Police were told the offender was with a group of friends when he “went missing”, 6.50pm, Friday 1 July. They found he had stripped off his clothing and jumped on a parked car. When the driver got out the man punched him several times to the face, knocking him down and stomping on his head. The man also assaulted two of his friends who tried to intervene. Moorabbin PACER unit members, including the doctor and a policeman, were in the restaurant.

When they ran to assist the man assaulted them until the policeman was able to use his baton and OC foam to subdue him. Backup units arrived to help. The man and the policeman were taken to Monash Medical Centre for treatment. Mordialloc police are considering laying a series of charges after talking to the man’s victims.

Passengers terrorised

TWO 16-year-old boys were terrorised while riding a Patterson Lakes’ bus, 5pm, Thursday 30 June. Chelsea police said the boys boarded at Carrum railway station carrying a bag of potato cakes. Six 18-year-old youths wearing

hoodies were already seated at the rear. When the boys sat down and began eating the youths moved in behind them and threatened violence if they didn’t share their food. The youths then punched the boys several times until they handed over an iPhone and jacket. The youths got off at Lakeview shopping centre and the victims. Police said the victims appeared too scared to identify their attackers. The bus driver may have been unaware of the incident. Call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 with information.

Weapon found

A PROHIBITED weapon was found on the driver’s seat of an unregistered car at Bonbeach, 11pm, Sunday 3 July. Police saw a Frankston North man driving along Harold St with a false rear number plate. The man pulled over when he saw police and attempted to walk away. When challenged he admitted he was disqualified from driving and allowed police to search the car where they found a large knife. Police are preparing a brief of offences before charges are laid.

Online sale fraud

POLICE are reviewing CCTV footage from Chelsea Woolworth’s store after a dodgy Gumtree transaction, Saturday 2 July. The buyer, 43, of McCrae, said she arranged to meet the seller of an Apple iPad at the store at 4pm. A man who gave his name as “Glenn” agreed to accept $200 cash for the iPad. He said it was in good working order but the battery was flat. When the woman took the iPad home to recharge she could not connect it to the internet.

A message appearing on the screen said it was “lost and erased”. When the buyer called “Glenn” she was told he would call back in 10 minutes. He didn’t. When she called again her call was blocked. The Gumtree conversation was also blocked. Police are checking “Glenn’s” mobile number and making inquiries with Apple regarding the registered owner of the iPad.

Late night carjackings in police sights Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au CARJACKINGS sit atop a range of high profile offences being monitored by police in Mordialloc, Keysborough, Braeside, Carrum and Patterson Lakes, with crime statistics Victoria-wide showing the brazen thefts have shot up 80 per cent in the past year.

Victoria Police launched Operation Cosmas in May to respond to the rise in aggravated burglaries and carjackings, with 60 people arrested statewide since the operation began.

Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton told ABC News that people were becoming concerned about

gang-related activity and what he dubbed the “Grand Theft Auto generation”.

In recent weeks, loose associations of young men possibly emanating from the infamous Apex crime gang have targeted drivers of expensive European cars in Malvern and nearby suburbs, innocuously bumping into them on lonely roads late at night/ early morning. When the drivers pull over they are bashed and their cars stolen for use in crime sprees.

Patterson River CFA crews were first on the scene when a stolen Honda CRV was torched on the Mornington Peninsula freeway off-ramp at Thames Promenade, 12.30am, Wednesday 29 June.

The car had been nabbed a few days earlier at Hampton Park. It was set alight using accelerant. Patrolling police and the Dog Squad were unable to find the offenders.

Three recent carjackings in Frankston – on Frankston-Flinders Rd, 30 October; in Bartlett St, Frankston South, 5 November, and in Ashley Av, Frankston, 15 June – highlight the dangers to motorists of driving late at night.

The government is believed to be working closely with police on tough new laws, with an offence of carjacking to target those stealing a car using force or putting a person in fear of being subjected to force.

The offence of aggravated carjack-

ing would apply where force is excessive, causes injury, or involves using a weapon.

The rise in vehicle-related crime has been driven by a significant increase in the theft of number plates,” Acting Superintendent Simon Humphrey said.

This information is included in Frankston police district crime statistics released recently. They show that, in the year to March, a record 15,286 offences were reported in Frankston compared to 14,271 the year before – a 7.1 per cent hike (or 1015 offences) in the year.

“The stolen plates are used to commit further offending, including petrol theft, petrol drive offs and toll

and fine avoidance,” he said.

“Number plates are relatively easy to steal, particularly those that have not been fixed with tamper-resistant screws. Victoria Police is currently engaged with VicRoads in work towards the development and implementation of theft-resistant and tamper-proof number plate technologies.

“But we also urge people to look after and secure their property – including number plates. They are commonly stolen from vehicles parked in residential streets, near railway stations and shopping centres.

“Where possible, people should park vehicles off-street, in locked garages where possible, or in well-lit areas.”

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

■ HEARING

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

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Footy match raises patriotic funds Compiled by Melissa Walsh A FOOTBALL match was played at Frankston on Saturday last, between the locals and a team from Naval Base, a collection being taken up in aid of patriotic funds.

The day was cold and showery, which mitigated against a large attendance. The game was pretty evenly contested, and resulted in a win for the visitors by 3.9 to 2.9. *** THE Presbyterian services throughout this district will be conducted on Sunday next by the Rev. G. Carson, of Mornington, the local Moderator.

The sacrament of the Holy Communion will be dispensed at each service. The services are advertised. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Red Cross Society will be held in the Mechanics’ Hall on Tuesday evening, 11th July, at 8 o’clock, when a full attendance of members is requested, as there is a large amount of important business to transact including election of officers for ensuing year. *** MR Jack Stewart, the popular engineer and machinist, of the Flinders Naval Base, was married to Mrs M. Bygate, of St Kilda, last week.

A very enthusiastic welcome was tendered the happy couple on the evening of their arrival at the Base, and the wedding presents were both numerous and costly. *** THE plain and fancy dress ball to

held on Wednesday next, promises to be a great success. Fancy costumes are in course of construction and a rare treat is in store for all who attend.

Those who do not wish to dance will be provided with platform tickets for the sum of 1s. Di Gilio’s band will supply the music and there will be a first class supper. *** THE annual effort in connection with the Frankston Christian Endeavour Society to raise funds for the support of missionary students in New Guinea, will be held in the Methodist Schoolroom, on Saturday, 15th July.

The Sale of Gifts will be opened by the Rev E Tonkin, at 2p.m. There will be no charge for admission for the afternoon, but in the evening the admission will be a silver coin. *** THE splendid donation of £2 2s was presented to the “Wattles” Club by Miss Lily Gamble, being the proceeds of a raffle, a handsome tray cloth, which was also worked by Miss Gamble.

The raffle was drawn by Mrs M’Cormack and Mr Wood, and was won by No426, Miss A. Lemon,Ball and Welch, Flinders street.

The club committee decided to make Miss Gamble an honorary member for the ensuing twelve months. *** ELABORATE arrangements are being made by the “Wattles” Club to entertain a party of wounded and sick soldiers at the Hall today (Saturday.)

Mr W. M. Pearson, hon. secretary and

treasurer of the Red Cross Volunteer Motor Corps, advises the club that he has chosen Frankston for their hundredth trip and that Lady Stanley will be among the party.

Close on 200 soldiers are taking part in the outing, and the residents of Frankston will have the pleasure of doing honor to our heroes. *** THE “Australian” Club held their initial dance on Saturday evening in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, the proceeds being in aid the district Roll of Honor.

A good programme of 15 dances was gone through in good style, the floor being in first class order, and with a good string band things were kept going merrily. Coffee and light refreshments were handed round, which were much appreciated.

Miss M’Comb, as hon. sec., worked hard to make the function a success.

A balance sheet will be published when all the ticket money is in. *** OWING to the dissatisfaction that exists at the navy base, Crib Point, on the question of allowances, the Building Trades Federation recently submitted the matter to Mr Justice Higgins, and asked him to call a conference with a view to varying the agreement and assimilating the varying scales of allowance fixed by different tribunals.

His Honor has consented to the request on the condition that work shall be continued, and that the men agree to abide by his decision. The officials

of the federation, on behalf of the employers have given the necessary assurances. *** MRS James Westley and Mr H.D. Westley as executors of Charles Wright’s estate have forwarded to the undermentioned charities, as beneficiaries under the will of deceased the following amounts: Half-yearly installments— Melbourne Hospital, £55 2s; Alfred Hospital, £34 18s 10d ; Homeopathic Hospital, £19; Poor Boxes Melbourne City Court, South Melbourne Court, Collingwood Court, Fitzroy Court, £4 each; Poor of Mornington, £40.

Quarterly Installments :—Melbourne Benevolent Asylum, Children’s Hospital, Austin Hospital, Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Blind Asylum, £30 each. *** PARISHIONERS of St Anselm’s Anglican Church, Middle Park, met on Tuesday 27th ult to make presentations to the Rev A. P. Mc’Farlane, the outgoing vicar, and Mrs Mc’Farlane, and to welcome the Rev. E. J. Withycombe, B.A. the new vicar, and Mrs Withycombe.

Mr Mc’Farlane (who is now filling the Rev G. A. Kitchen’s pulpit at Frankston) was presented with a blackwood roll top desk and chair by the parishioners and Mr T. Case Brown, the senior church warden, spoke enthusiastically of his genial qualities.

Mrs Mc’Farlane received a gold wristlet watch from the Ladies’ Guild

and Mothers Union, a gold brooch from the choir and a gift from the Girl’s Friendly Society, the presentations being made by Mr J. G. Johnson and Mr H. E. Guy. *** THE Committee of Management of the Smoke Evening recently tendered to Mr J. D. Calhoun, of Melbourne, at the Australian Hotel Melbourne on Friday evening last, when Mr J. B. Jolly of Frankston, who had acted as secretary and treasurer to the function, submitted his balance sheet, which showed a substantial credit balance.

Mr McLellan, the President, elaborated on the excellent organising ability of the secretary Mr Jolly, who had worked untiring and well and had in nine days with subscriptions limited to £1 1s each collected close on £100 from the old and close friends of Mr Calhoun, as well as organised a programme and evening of the best. *** A MEETING of telephone subscribers was held at the Frankston Mechanics Institute on Tuesday evening to take into consideration a circular received from the Deputy-postmaster General intimating that unless the subscribers contribute £32 14s 5d, the amount of deficency on the £250 required the existing facilities of a continuous service would be discontinued after the 31st July, *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 8 July, 1916

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Notes from the bunker: Understanding Brexit

By Stuart McCullough DON’T panic. I did, for a moment, but I think I’ve calmed down now.

It’s more the unholy surprise of the result that saw me spring into action, strapping a metal colander on top of my head as an improvised helmet and digging a large hole in the backyard into which I intended to crawl in the hope of avoiding the inevitable fiscal fallout. The Brexit is coming. Much like the Avian Flu and the most recent season of ‘Glee’, there is nothing we can do to avoid it. We can only try to protect ourselves as best as circumstances will allow.

Let me say now that digging a really big hole is, in fact, a lot harder than it appears on television. After forty minutes of effort, I looked like a wrung out sponge and the back yard had a slight dent. My plans to live a harmonious existence beneath the earth’s surface emerging only at night for supplies were, by this time, in total disarray. Loosening the chinstrap and letting the colander fall to the ground I sat and stared at the sky, wondering precisely where it all went so horribly wrong.

It’s hard to believe. Only last week, the soon-to-be ex-Prime Minister David Cameron deployed the slogan ‘Brits Don’t Quit’ to devastating effect. Frankly, there’s no comeback for a line like that; deriving, as it does, from that most compelling of political campaigners, MC Hammer. Whilst the connection was not made explicitly, I suspect that subconsciously, millions of people found themselves mumbling ‘2 legit to quit’ under their breath for reasons they didn’t quite understand at the time. Maybe the Prime Minis-

Picture: Yanni

ter didn’t make the connection clear enough. Had he used the slogan whilst wearing parachute pants and performing dance moves, the result might have gone the other way. Perhaps.

So Britain is leaving the European Union. For reasons known only to themselves, millions of people have elected to strap a gigantic outboard engine to the bottom of the island (probably somewhere in Cornwall, I’d suggest Lizard Point) to push the whole thing further out to sea. Who knows where they’ll end up? Given that Britain will no longer be part of Europe, I understand that international law dictates that the AFL’s ‘free agency’ rules apply. Whether Britain should be considered a totally free or restricted free

agent isn’t entirely clear from the voting result. Whatever the case, chances are they are free to join the geopolitical alliance of their choice.

My money’s on South East Asia.

By moving just a few thousand miles south, the British climate will improve dramatically and locals will be able to undertake duty free shopping at all times. This might have been a major motivation for the ‘leave’ vote. Not that it’d be easy. For some time, tensions have been escalating in the South China Sea as countries lay claim to the region by building little islands. They’ be quite put out if they woke up one morning and found Britain had decided to park itself there, like a gigantic backpacker campervan out the front of

your house.

As Britain drags itself away from Europe, heading for sunnier climes, the entire country will be a gigantic Fairstar the Funship, pulling into port and allowing its passengers to run amok before rounding them up and heading to the next destination. It will be, frankly, the largest Contiki cruise the world has ever seen. But it’s all well and good that they’ve decided to so forcefully renounce geography, but what are the likely impacts of the seemingly drastic decision?

Firstly, Britain will no longer be allowed to compete at Eurovision.

Granted, some might say that they’ve not been competing at Eurovision for many years now and their non-

attendance might be something of a mercy killing, but still. There are up to dozens of people who’ve spent their lives dreaming of Eurovision glory whose hopes have just been crushed.

Also, ever wondered how James Bond would simply pop up in Spain or Italy or Russia? From now on, a good fortyfive minutes of every Bond film will be spent with 007 as he waits to get through customs.

It’s easy to stick the boots into something like the European Union.

But those who wish to slag it off do so by ignoring it’s major achievements.

Namely, Euro Disney. No longer will the British be able to savour the unholy collision of Hollywood and mainland continental Europe. Je m’appelle Mickey Mouse? Not any more, it isn’t.

Then there’s the issue of the Chunnel, which will have to be corked up as a matter of urgency. Doubtless, Boris Johnston is making an emergency trip to Bunnings as I write this, looking for the biggest plug he possible can. Also, Britain will be forbidden from listening to music by the band ‘Europe’.

Until you’re no longer permitted to listen to ‘The Final Countdown’ any time the mood strikes, you’ve no idea how big a whole in your life it leaves.

So what happen next? Granted, the world will keep spinning on its axis, even if financial markets call in sick next week with a colossal dose of ‘Euro-flu’. It’s a funny age we live in.

One where complex ideas are reduced to slogans, regardless of consequence.

Perhaps I should keep digging that hole after all. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

MILES & SIMONE Heartbreaker country and folk music coming to Cube 37 @ Frankston on Friday 22 July at 8pm.

Having been programmed in The Melbourne International Arts Festival, The Brisbane Powerhouse World Theatre Festival, The Darwin Festival,The Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Falls Festival,The Famous Spielgeltent and supporting the likes of Clairy Browne and the Banging Rackettes, Tinpan Orange and Harry James Angus, Miles and Simone are a much loved Australian musical duo.

They are dear friends and have been for quite some time. Both Actors and musicians by trade, they met during a production of Summer of the 17th Doll and have been collaborating on various projects ever since.

Miles is a musician, actor and founding member of internationally renowned band and performance group The Suitcase Royale.

Simone is an opera singer, cabaret star and creator of the critically acclaimed cabaret The Lovebirds.

Miles & Simone was born in the summer months of 2012, when they found themselves on many an afternoon drinking gin and singing lonesome duets in the backyard. As the months got colder they left the backyard and began recording the songs in Miles’ spare room studio.

They eventually put a rough mix of the album into the hands of Darren Hanlon when he took a loan of Miles’ wonky old piano. Hanlon liked the songs so much he took them to Portland, Oregon to be mixed by renowned engineer Adam Selzer (She and Him, M. Ward, Jolie Holland) at the famed Type Foundry Studios.

As well as that, Darren Hanlon recruited a

handful of talented Portland musicians to play on the record.

They released this album independently and the above tours subsequently took place.

Since then, they have released another full length album and toured the country in support of it.

Tickets at www.thefac.com.au or phone 9784 1060.

SHADOWLAND

Miles and Simone

This astounding combination of musicality, projected images and acrobatic dance choreography is daringly dramatic and hugely comedic. The thrilling visuals transform the human body into metaphorical themes before your very eyes. A global sensation, Pilobolus, has been experienced by over a half-million people and was featured on The Academy Awards, Ellen and Oprah. This imaginative Pilobolus creation celebrates the extraordinary power of darkness and its ability to illuminate who we really are. It’s more than modern dance, it’s innovation in its purest form.

Sharks make a statement

PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt BONBEACH is starting to flex its muscles in MPNFL Peninsula Division and is starting to make a statement.

While all the talk surrounds Frankston YCW and who is going to challenge, the Sharks are emerging as a team that seems to be getting things together at the right time.

In what many considered to be a 5050 game against Seaford on Saturday, the Sharks hammered the visitors to the tune of 32 points, 15.8 (98) to 9.12 (66).

Bonbeach has now won six of its past seven matches after losing the opening four games of the season.

In the corresponding game in Round three, Bonbeach lost to Seaford by 11 points. That’s a 43 point turnaround in two months of footy – that is significant.

At the time of going down to YCW by 114 points in Round four and then beating Mt Eliza to open its account the following week, Bonbeach coach Steve Hughes said “perhaps we need YC to kick start us every year”.

Kick start the Sharks they have with key players in Shane McDonald and Dylan Jones having a significant impact on games.

Jones dominated in the middle on Saturday and McDonald was at his sensational best, booting five goals.

Luke Damon is up and running now and having a big impact on the playing ground and results. He booted three majors on Saturday.

Matt Douglas was superb again in his seventh game for the season and Jacob Flannery is stringing some good footy together also for the Sharks – that’s where the improvement is coming from, the form of the ‘lesser-likes’ without reputations.

The Tigers were right in it at half time and three quarter time, trailing by just 10 and 14 points respectively.

The Sharks kicked five goals to two in the last. Brad Doyle and Liam Davenport were outstanding for the Tigers while Aaron Walton kicked three goals.

Frankston YCW was held goalless and trailed Langwarrin at quarter time by 14 points.

At half time the Stonecats had taken

control and led by five goals and the final margin was 72 points, 14.19 (103) to 4.7 (31).

Kangas coach Brad Dredge said on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that the mantra of his side was that they were “hard to play against”.

It’s certainly a reputation that the Kangas have among other coaches and they made life difficult for the Stonecats again on Saturday.

Anthony Bruhn and Craig Nankervis were superb for the winners while Andrew Withers and Josh Biggs were the best of the blue and white.

Pines blew Karingal away in the first quarter and opened up a 42 point lead by half time, eventually winning by 34 points, 17.12 (114) to 12.8 (80).

Karingal was able to offer some resistance in the second half, outscoring the Pythons five goals to three.

Tim Bongetti was magnificent again for the Pythons with three majors while Luke Potts, Aaron Edwards and Beau Hendry combined in the middle and around the ground to be three of the best players on the park.

Key defender Jack Fisher claimed yet another scalp on Saturday, restricting Leigh Poholke to one goal. Chris Hay booted three for the Bulls and Darcy Hope was solid in his first senior outing.

Justin Van Unen booted seven goals as Mt Eliza belted Mornington by more than 10 goals, 22.10 (142) to 9.9 (63).

The Redlegs booted the first four goals of the match and by half time had opened up a 10 goal break after booting nine majors in the second.

Nathan Ryan, James Hammond and Jordan Capkin all got among the goals as the Redlegs flexed their muscle for the first time this season.

In the other Sunday game, Edithvale-Aspendale shook off a persistent Chelsea to win by almost four goals.

Things were tight in the three quarters before the Eagles skipped away, winning 12.16 (88) to 9.11 (65).

Pines power: The Pythons blew Karingal away, running out 34 point winners.

Tigers hold on in a thriller NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt Even a seven goal last quarter couldn’t help Devon Meadows steal a win against Dromana in MPNFL Nepean Division on Saturday.

Trailing by four goals at three quarter time, the Panthers stormed home in the final 30 minutes, albeit never hitting the front, only to fall just short, 15.11 (101) to 14.13 (97).

It was Dromana coach Rikki Johnston who proved to be the difference between the sides, booting six goals in a best on ground performance.

Rated one of the best defenders of all time, Rikki J has booted 17 goals since swinging himself forward against Tyabb in Round seven.

Johnston now forms part of what looks to be a pretty potent forward half, which includes Beau Cosson and Beau McMurray, who both booted three goals on Saturday.

Billy Quigley has been sensational for the Tigers this season and his consistency has run against the grain of many of his teammates.

Terry Wheeler has also been providing outstanding leadership for the likes of Daniel Marchesani and Ethan Johnstone.

The Panthers were gallant again, losing their second straight match by less than a goal after beating Sorrento three weeks ago.

Coach Glenn Michie, who announced his playing retirement at season’s end on Saturday morning’s RPP Footy Show, said that “kids were getting an opportunity”.

“When I put my best side on the board in the pre-season, there were more than a dozen blokes on it that are not playing

now through injury,” Michie said.

“In any club, that makes things pretty tough, however, the kids are getting an opportunity and they are now starting to find their way at the level. Our past few performances have proven that.

“We have also been rocked by Beau Miller’s illness and the effect of this news and Beau’s ongoing fight and battle has had a significant impact.

“We have had a sports chaplin in at our footy club and I think now, some nine weeks later, we’re just starting to get a handle on it.

“Beau Miller is one of the strongest people, both mentally and physically, I have ever had the fortune to meet in my 20 years of playing senior football. He’s fighting one hell of a battle but the whole footy community, throughout the MPNFL, is right behind him and his family,” Michie said.

Jesse Bowe played arguably his best game for the Panthers while Steve Roberts continues to dominate in his return season after knee reconstructions. Roberts would be leading the club B&F in his first season. Chris Doria is also having a very consistent season.

Frankston Bombers bounced back from its defeat at the hands of Sorrento last week, belting Crib Point 16.16 (112) to 5.4 (34).

The Bombers were in an uncompromising mood on Saturday and put the Magpies to the sword.

With Beau Muston missing with a knee injury and Zac White missing through suspension, it left the door ajar for one of the best players to ever grace an MPNFL field in Brian O’Carroll to return.

Despite not playing footy for almost three years, O’Carroll was slotted straight back into the senior team.

Muston told the RPP Footy Show that while he is “all for club culture and setting the right example”, O’Carroll was an exception to the rule.

“Brian is one of the best and most decorated players this footy club has ever seen and I had no hesitation putting him straight back into the senior team,” Muston said.

“We need him up and running when the whips are cracking. He is in a great place mentally and just wanted to get back playing footy with his mates.

“It had nothing to do with what we might be able to achieve this season, Brian would have come back if we were on the bottom of the ladder.”

Frankston also saw the return of Ryan Kitchen from suspension and a hamstring injury, while Luke James made an impact with four goals. Michael Maiorino was also sensational yet again with six goals, while the unheralded Josh Francis and Josh Chapman continue to find the footy.

The Magpies, who have been ultracompetitive in recent weeks, were never in the hunt.

Mitch Stansborough played his best game since crossing from Mornington, as did Matty Hogan, since crossing from Frankston YCW. Dean Warry and Luke Herrington are just stars!

Rosebud flexed its muscles and added some valuable percentage, smashing Tyabb 19.29 (143) to 5.7 (37).

Inaccuracy cost the Buds dearly, however, didn’t prevent a 100 plus point win.

Keegan Downie booted seven goals for the Buds and was one of his team’s best while Ryan Spooner (three goals) and Greg Bentley put on a clinic.

Jake Anderson and Rohan McGrath were the best of the Yabbies.

Hail, hail the nine men of Frankston Pines SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines returned from the Latrobe Valley with a precious point on Saturday as it bids to avoid relegation from State 1 South-East.

The Monterey Reserve side earned a 3-3 draw against Morwell Pegasus in dramatic circumstances ending this catch-up fixture with nine men.

Pines central defender Nick Lekakis and goalkeeper James Laminski were unavailable due to holidays but the side was bolstered by the midweek captures of forwards Josh Calle from Langwarrin and Naseer Mohammad from Casey Comets.

Ioasa Saemo took up a central defensive role alongside Ben Caffrey while Calle partnered Mathew Hames up front.

The visitors dominated the opening half-hour but couldn’t break through.

Calle got onto the end of a Stefan Soler cross in the opening minutes but his shot was saved by teenage Morwell keeper Liam Andersen.

In the 6th minute Andersen did well to tip over a Calle free-kick and Calle thought he’d opened the scoring in the 13th minute but his attempt was cleared off the line.

In the 28th minute Pines paid dearly for losing possession when a Morwell player slammed the ball into young Graham Hill who had instinctively turned side-on.

Pines supporters were up in arms as the referee pointed to the spot and sent off Hill before Morwell’s John Kuol struck his penalty attempt past Pines custodian Sam Grigg to make it 1-0.

Eight minutes later Pines were staring down the barrel when a defensive mix-up between Caffrey and Saemo enabled Morwell striker Mat Luak to slot the ball past Grigg to make it 2-0.

Right on half-time Calle again was denied by Andersen after good leadup play by Kane Bentley.

But two minutes into the second stanza John Negassi played Calle in and he turned and struck a firm shot past Andersen to make it 2-1.

Hames had two chances to score in the 52nd minute but his first shot was blocked by Andersen and his

second attempt from the rebound came off a defender and went out for a corner.

In the 57th minute Hames again broke clear but rather than cutting the ball back he went for goal and his shot struck Andersen and went out for a corner.

Andersen’s sole blemish came in the 67th minute when his poor clearance was met just inside the attacking half by Pines veteran Caffrey whose perfect strike sent the ball sailing over Andersen and into the unguarded Morwell goal for a stunning equaliser.

In the 70th minute Pines gave the ball away and Morwell hit hard on the break with Malesh Jadaeile finally getting the vital touch to make it 3-2.

Caffrey protested to the referee claiming offside and was yellow carded.

The impact of that caution was felt 15 minutes later when a Caffrey bodycheck earned a second yellow and a dismissal leaving Pines with just nine men.

But Pines kept pressing and in the 95th minute a Matt Davis free-kick was headed out for a corner.

Davis took the corner and the ball fell to Bentley at the far post and he volleyed it home to become an instant hero.

“To get a 3-3 draw in these circumstances was wonderful,” said Pines gaffer Billy Rae. “The players should be so proud of that performance because we played them off the park with 10 men.

“I couldn’t ask for any more from these players.”

Pines was the only local side in action last weekend. Langwarrin, Peninsula Strikers and Seaford United were due to play previously postponed fixtures but once again their games were called off.

It was particularly frustrating for Strikers who arrived at Anderson Park for Saturday’s reserves fixture against Doncaster Rovers to find that the ground hadn’t been marked out.

Eventually someone from Doncaster started marking out the pitch but they used lime, which is illegal, tried to paint over it but to no avail and the

senior referee called off the senior fixture.

“I don’t know what’s going on up there but it was a complete shambles,” said Strikers president Mark Brandon.

However, there was a positive aspect to the shemozzle as Doncaster central midfielder Matt Bell is expected to join Strikers this week after approaching Strikers assistant coach Billy Buchanan.

“He’s been involved with Derby County back in England and he’s only in his mid 20s so he’s exactly what we’ve been looking for,” said Buchanan.

Meanwhile State 4 South league leader Skye United fell victim to thieves last week when its storage facility at its home ground was broken into.

Items stolen included trailers, portable goals, exercise equipment, footballs, training bibs and kitchen equipment.

The club has taken to social media to itemise the stolen items and to appeal to anyone with information to contact Frankston police.

NEXT WEEKEND’S GAMES Saturday, 9 July, 3pm: Mornington v South Springvale (Dallas Brooks Park), Frankston Pines v Mooroolbark (Monterey Reserve), Clifton Hill v Langwarrin (Quarries Park), Peninsula Strikers v Noble Park Utd (Centenary Park), St Kilda v Seaford Utd (Elwood Park), Skye Utd v Springvale City (Skye Recreational Reserve), Rosebud Heart v Casey Panthers (Truemans Road Recreation Reserve), Chelsea v Baxter (Edithvale Recreation Reserve).
