Defibs save lives THE Patterson Lakes Canoe club was one of five Victorian community groups to receive a defibrillator from St John Ambulance last month. St John Ambulance Victoria gave the club a G3 Elite Semi-Automatic Defibrillator, valued at $2150. St John Victoria CEO Gordon Botwright said “having more easily accessible defibrillators out in the local community, can be the difference between life or death during a cardiac arrest.” “If patients are shocked by a publicly accessible defibrillator, their chances of survival can increase from as low as 5 percent to as high as 70 percent – as seen in some parts of the world. This is why the availability of defibrillators in all parts of the community is crucial,” he said. “We are incredibly proud to be working with inspiring organisations like Patterson Lakes Canoe Club. They submitted a worthy application and clearly care deeply about the health and safety of their members and the wider community.” MEMBERS of the Peninsula Dragon Fly Club, which trains at the Patterson Lakes Canoe Club, with their new defibrillator.

Operation targets motorcycle gangs Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A CHELSEA Heights man was among those arrested as part of a police operation targeting the Comanchero and Finks Outlaw motorcycle gangs last month. Police nationwide made 25 arrests

and seized around $200,000 worth of cash and firearms last month. As part of the operation they raided a premises in Chelsea Heights allegedly linked to the Comanchero OMCG. A 46-year-old Chelsea Heights man is expected to be charged on summons in relation to a rifle and shotgun found at his address, police say. Victoria Police crime command

acting commander Jason Kelly said police would continue to work to stamp out “organised crime”. “There has been an immense focus on illicit tobacco and associated offending here in Victoria, particularly in relation to the reckless and dangerous arson attacks and firearms related violence. We created Taskforce Lunar to lead that investigation and they

have been working closely with a number of specialist units as well as regional police,” Kelly said. “The operation has been about putting pressure on those organised crime groups we know are linked to illicit tobacco, no matter what state they are in or what part of the state they are in. “Again, I want to be clear that

police will continue to do everything we can to target those criminal syndicates involved and those who are choosing to benefit from fear and harm to the community. We will continue to conduct these operations across Victoria and also work closely with other states to disrupt this criminal activity and hold those involved to account.”

Carols to take over Chelsea STAGE legends Lucy Durack and Rob Mills are set to headline the free Carols by Kingston show this weekend. Carols by Kingston will take place at Bicentennial Park in Chelsea on Sunday. Durack and Mills will be joined on the setlist by Bobby Fox, the Australian Girls Choir, the Mordialloc Jazz Orchestra, and the event’s MC Rhonda Burchmore. The performances will be complemented by fireworks, food, craft activities, face painting, and an appearance from Santa. Kingston mayor Jenna Davey-Burns said “despite some gumboot weather last year, we still had a great crowd along, singing and dancing to our favourite festive tunes - including my favourite, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.” “After a big year, taking a moment out and coming together as a community is what we hope will fill your cup back up. Bring your big voices, we’ll bring the fun and let’s celebrate together,” she said . Carols by Kingston takes place from 6pm to 9.30pm on Sunday 10 December at Bicentennial Park in Chelsea. The event is free but seating can be reserved from $20 at kingston.vic.gov.au/ community/events/upcoming-events/ carols-by-kingston.

Plan forms for disability future KINGSTON Council has drafted a plan to create a more accessible area for people living with disabilities. Council’s four-year “all-abilities action plan” outlines 31 actions which can be taken to create better outcomes for people with disabilities. They include increasing the number of people with disabilities employed by council, the establishment of a disability access and inclusion consultative forum, a focus on universal design principles in all infrastructure projects, and work with local businesses. Kingston mayor Jenna DaveyBurns said that 16 people with disabilities contributed to the plan. “The courageous, passionate, and forthright contributions of our lived experience team have gifted us a very real and honest plan,” DaveyBurns said. “Vitally the team’s various backgrounds within the local community have ensured there were many and varied opportunities for local people to have an input. Careful consultation has given a voice to people living with all forms of disability, including those with more severe or profound disability who often experience paternalistic and disempowering approaches to design.” The plan is in its draft form and is subject to community consultation, which is open until 5 February. To view the plan and make a submission visit yourkingstonyoursay. com.au/draft-all-abilities actionplan.

Families win fight for parole change Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON serial killer Paul Denyer will not be released from prison until he is permanently incapacitated. Denyer murdered Elizabeth Stevens, Deborah Fream, and Natalie Russell in Frankston’s surrounding suburbs in 1993. He was handed a life sentence with a 30-year nonparole period, which ended this year. Last week, Victorian Parliament passed a proposed change to the law to keep Denyer behind bars for life. The bill read that Denyer cannot be

released until the adult parole board is satisfied he is “in imminent danger of dying, or is seriously incapacitated, and as a result he no longer has the physical ability to do harm to any person.” Denyer had an application for parole denied earlier this year. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said the victims’ families deserved thanks for working on the legislation. “I want to thank all involved in the work to have this robust legislation passed. To the Russell family and friends – Brian, Carmel, Karen, Lisa and Jeanine, your enduring patience

and advice has been paramount in bringing forth these changes to the legislation,” he said. Edbrooke said the legislation would be known as “Nat’s Law” in memory of Natalie Russell. “Nat’s Law honours both the advocacy of victims’ families and the legacies of Natalie Russell, Elizabeth Stevens and Debbie Fream by ensuring people who belong in prison, stay in prison,” he said. The new law also prevents people convicted of serious crimes, including murderers and rapists, from making repeated parole applications.

New lights a hit for baseball club THE Bonbeach Baseball Club played its first match under lights last week. Last year Kingston Council committed $125,000 towards the construction of new lighting at the baseball club. At the inaugural nighttime game under the new lights, Bonbeach White went down to Bonbeach Blue 22-3. Bonbeach Baseball Club committee member Luke Scholes said the upgraded lights would help with training and night games. “Winter training is really difficult - it’s dark before players have finished work and school. Now we have an avenue to train at night,” he said. “The new lighting is up to Baseball Victoria spec. We are now capable of playing night games and we will lobby to host more night matches in summer.

“This outcome is due to the actions of lots of other people who have put in effort. The process of getting the lights was lobbied by a lot of members to keep the club being one of the top clubs in the council area.” The club is recruiting for new juniors and seniors players. Anyone interested in joining can contact bonbeachstchads@gmail.com.

Life saving home open THE new $4.5 million home for Carrum Surf Life Saving Club has been officially opened. The facility was built with $2.1 million in state government money and $2.4 million from Kingston Council ratepayers. The new clubhouse features expanded ground floor storage capacity, more change rooms, a firstfloor observation deck, additional office and dry storage space, and other improvements. Kingston councillor Cameron Howe said the new facility would help keep swimmers safe. “Carrum SLSC has had the highest metropolitan rescues in the past and the $4.5 million redeveloped clubhouse has more space to train, patrol and store, allowing volunteer and paid professionals to keep an eagle’s eye out for the safety of the public,” Howe said. “Further investment to enhance Carrum foreshore is planned in the new year to renovate the Beauty Spot, and indicatively from mid-year extend the popular boardwalk north, featuring 180-degree bay and river views at the gateway to the bay.”

Peta Murphy dies after long illness PETA Murphy, the member for Dunkley since 2019, has died. Murphy passed away on the afternoon of 4 December aged just 50. Her family was by her side. In 2011, Murphy was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was re-diagnosed in 2019 around the time of her election. Murphy was married to husband Rod Glover for more than 20 years. Glover released a joint statement alongside Murphy’s parents and sisters Bob, Jan, Jodi and Penni on the day she died. “I am devastated to have to inform you of the passing of our wonderful wife, daughter and sister, and always your member for Dunkley, Peta Murphy. Peta left us this afternoon, having had her final days surrounded by family at home - just as she wanted it,” the family’s statement read. “We loved her deeply and are so, so proud of her achievements, her character and her courage. She was indeed the strongest girl of all. Still giving

sassy advice until the very end - she died the way she lived - with dignity and strength and a touch of sarcasm to boot. “Peta loved and worked for her community until the very last days of her life - being in Parliament this last Tuesday before being hospitalised on Wednesday. Over recent days, we have received so many messages of love and offers of support from Peta’s army of close friends. We will forever be grateful for your support of us during this period, but even more so for your love of our beautiful Peta.” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that he was devastated to learn of Murphy’s passing. “Every one of us in the Labor family is broken hearted by the death of our beloved Peta Murphy,” he said. “At this saddest of times we offer our deepest sympathies to her loving husband Rod and all her family.” Brodie Cowburn

MONDAY

SBS VICELAND, 9.25pm

FRIDAY

UNDER THE VINES

ABC TV, 8.30pm

Filmed in New Zealand’s stunning Central Otago, the idyllic backdrop of green pastures and meandering vines sit enticingly alongside the capers of fish-out-of-water winery owners Daisy (Rebecca Gibney, pictured left) and Louis (Charles Edwards). Tonight, sunshine abounds, but it’s not all warmth and rays of hope for the crew at Oakley Wines. There’s unexpected news that implicates everyone when an old friend of Stanley’s turns up, shattering the status quo.

SUNDAY

THE HUNDRED WITH ANDY LEE

NINE, 7pm

Would you scoff the leftover ham sitting idly in the fridge two weeks after it was served up to the extended family? In this festive special, the truth comes out. Playful Andy Lee (pictured above) returns to the hosting chair and the 100 faces on screen to find out what tickles the group’s fancy during Christmas time. Joining the merry festivities as panellists are glamorous Love Island Australia host Sophie Monk and comedians Tommy Little and Anne Edmonds. There’s also a surprise guest in store.

FRIDAY

CHRISTMAS WITH THE AUSTRALIAN WOMEN’S WEEKLY

If you aren’t lit up in Christmas mode already with carols blaring, the pudding mix triumphantly in the freezer and a present list done and dusted, this annual extravaganza from the iconic magazine is assured to deck your halls with ideas. Hosted by Sarah Harris (pictured right).

PROPET SHOES*

LIGHTWEIGHT HIGH IMPACT CUSHIONING

Most teenagers complain their parents aren’t edgy enough, but freshly finished high-schooler Tara (Leah McNamara, pictured below) doesn’t have that problem. In this vividly styled Irish thriller, you could say her family has gone too far the other way. A buddy summer holiday trip turned drug-laden nightmare, the ludicrous and morbidly comical developments are fast-paced and (mostly) fun. Normal People’s McNamara is outstanding as Tara, who is not only contending with gangsters in Rotterdam after shockingly discovering her estranged father is a drug kingpin, but guns, gore and even a serial killer.

Time running out for comment on harbour Have readers taken part in any community consultation about the proposed plan to commercialise Mornington harbour, put up by Parks Victoria? Not likely, as there is no publicity. Do we want to see another long jetty built alongside the existing one? Do we want to lose the moorings for the yachts that are part of our harbour landscape? Yes, Fisherman’s jetty needs rebuilding – and the government has budgeted $4 million to do so - but now Parks has come up with further options for the future. That jetty may have an extra platform and hook. There may be visits from the Enterprize tall ship; there may be a ferry service from Docklands to Mornington and this would need a bigger turning circle and a new berth. Imagine being seasick in a north westerly trying to berth in the harbour? And what about the fishers, the divers, the learners trying to berth in front of the yacht club while coping with the swimmers in the water, the paddle boarders and the motorboats coming in with proposed aquaculture produce? Parks has put up three options and we, the public, are supposed to understand the non-existing rationale for the options. Where are the funds? Where are the environmental protection ideas? Those of us who were involved in the proposed safe harbour and (abandoned) marina in 2010 and the harbour precinct works in 2014-15 know there are many problems in doing anything in the harbour with its shallow waters, sand movements, rising sea levels and increased storms roaring over the pier and the need for dredging if larger boats are to berth. We need to act and to respond. The options and the plan are at Mornington Harbour – Local Port Area Plan Project | Engage Victoria and the closing date is 8 December. Jan Oliver OAM, Mornington

Gardens are good

Residents may park free during Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s trial of paid parking at peninsula beaches [but] the process set up by the shire is a case study in “digital discrimination” (Paid parking trial ‘fiasco’ before it begins, The News 28/11/23). To access free resident parking, you must: Own a computer; go online to the Paystay website; give away lots of personal information; make digital copies of two private documents; upload those documents; download the Paystay app. As the meerkat says “simples” – not. Andrew Gibson OAM, Pt Leo

How good are community gardens (Growing community spirit, The News 28/11/23)? A friendly outdoor space to meet with others, learn and share ideas, and grow fresh, seasonal produce is very special indeed. In my experience, community garden gatherings and working bees also offer sensational freshly baked food. Growing your own is not only more sustainable, but usually more nutritious and cheaper than buying from the shops. It’s therefore wonderful that community gardens are increasing in number across the peninsula. Those keen to get growing can contact Mornington Peninsula Shire’s community gardens coordinator. Amy Hiller, Kew

Government cuts

Sighs of Christmas

I believe the tactics of police using handwritten signs on police cars as part of their industrial action is a criminal offence of Defacing of Government Property. Possibly the reason why the government has not given the police their wage increases, and other demands is because they need to contain the debt which is blowing out with $6 million a day in interest. Police numbers are down by 800 and this may be because Australians see policing as too dangerous as the result of the police killed in Queensland and South Australia and the August 1998 murders of Sergeant Gary Silk and Senior Constable Rodney Miller, which were highlighted in the Lawyer X scandal. Police do a dangerous job, but now reality is being felt by the Allan government that the debt has to be paid and to cut the increasing interest bill for that debt. There needs to be a cut in government public

Oh Dear, oh deer, oh not more reindeer. Searching in vain for some other stable animals such as lowing cattle, or bleating lambs, I was overwhelmed by crass commercial exploitative children’s art adorning Main Street, Mornington. One glimmer in the dark were some symbolic stars topping Christmas trees, so congrats to those primary schoolies. Boo bah sucks to the rest of the tosh. Full marks to the colourful display boards that brighten up the streetscape, and the good news is that there are plenty of empty boards for us God botherers, people of faith, church attendees whose lives are undoubtedly extended by congregating in friendly, supportive, charitable funds provision, missionary providers and, yes, some free child minding, not to mention the delicious cookies that my church serves to one and all.

Ian Morrison, Mount Eliza

Coalition of debt It was great to see the double page spread devoted to Liberals Flinders MP Zoe McKenzie and Nepean MP Sam Groth complaining about funding cuts to infrastructure programs (Reverse freeway budget cuts - MP and ‘Blatant’ disregard for peninsula, The News 28/11/23). Presumably, we will soon see a double page spread given to local Labor MPs and candidates? These two MPs should realise that the funding cuts were made to reduce some of the nearly $1trillion debt left by the previous coalition government, you know, the “debt and deficit party”. What have we got to see for that debt? The Jetty Road, Rosebud overpass? No. The electrification of the Baxter line? No. In fact, Australia has little to show for the mountainous debt accrued by the self-declared party of money managers. Now, Ms McKenzie and Mr Groth would like us to believe that projects such as these can be easily achieved because their party had “promised” funds for their completion. It is a pity then that this money didn’t get spent during the near decade in power that the coalition had. It is just so easy to govern from the Opposition benches, isn’t it Sam and Zoe?

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Hall v Oates: Writs on my List By Stuart McCullough SAY it isn’t so. If further proof were needed that the world is hurtling towards hell in a handbasket, it comes in the form of news that one of pop music’s most enduring and beloved duos are locked in legal disputation. When news broke that Hall had sought and been granted a restraining order against Oates, I struggled to believe that it wasn’t some kind of cosmic hoax. No matter the circumstances, I felt in my bones that this kind of action wasn’t something that I, in good conscience, could support. In fact, my exact words at the time were ‘No, I can’t go for that.’ If you don’t know who ‘Hall and Oates’ are, I can only say that you’re out of touch. Put simply, Hall and Oates are the greatest duo since sausage and sliced bread. Other musical duos can’t hold a candle to their catalogue of superior pop and soul. The Captain and Tenille? Not even close. Chas and Dave? Don’t make me laugh. Hall and Oates are responsible for some of the most amazing music of the 1970s and 1980s. Their songs were part of the soundtrack to my childhood. It’d make more sense if the restraining order was specific to John Oates’s moustache. Large and with a reputation for unprovoked violence, it was often feared that the moustache of John Oates might one day break free from captivity and seriously injure an unsuspecting Madonna fan. That’s why his ‘tache was often sedated and under armed guard. It was a safety thing. But as far as I can tell, the

restraining order is against John Oates in his entirety rather than confined to an errant piece of facial hair. Details are scant and it’s difficult not to speculate. How did it come to this? I’ve been in lots of bands where my musical contributions might best be described as ‘negligible’ and my personality not so much an irritant as it was a source of ongoing and severe mental anguish, and yet none of my band mates ever saw the need to get a

restraining order. Frankly, I deserved one. It might even have taught me a lesson about the importance of harmonising vaguely in key and not blaming every atonal squawk that had the misfortune to escape my mouth as advanced jazz improvisation and something that real music lovers would ‘get’. John Oates was always in tune. Some are born to pop stardom. Others have stardom thrust upon them.

The road to fame for Hall and Oates was littered with great music that was broadly ignored by the record-buying public. Their first album landed in 1973 – entitled ‘Whole Oats’, it was produced by Atlantic Records’ legendary producer, Arif Mardin and didn’t trouble the charts. That’s despite being some to some spectacular songs like ‘Fall in Philadelphia’, ‘Waterwheel’ and ‘Goodnight and Good morning’. Their second album, ‘Abandoned Luncheonette’ fared little better, although was home to the song ‘She’s Gone’ which would go on to become a hit three years later after it was covered by someone else. Still, they stuck at it for one more record before parting ways with their label. It wasn’t until their fifth album that they started to get some serious traction with the song ‘Rich Girl’. But their moment truly arrived in the as one decade fell into the other. The eighties – or the first part of the eighties – was theirs. They had an ability to blend a disparate array of influences from soul, folk and rock into perfect slices of pop music. They stood astride the first half of the decade like a musical colossus, notching up hit after hit until, eventually, fashions changed and they fell out of style. Hall and Oates were from Philadelphia. And Philadelphia is a very important city for our family as it’s my sister in law’s hometown. Suffice to say, ‘Go Eagles’. Before she married my brother, a group of us spent time in Philadelphia. More than just the city that witnessed the signing of

the Declaration of Independence and the steps to the Philadelphia Museum of Art that were once pounded into submission so memorably by Sylvester Stallone in ‘Rocky’, Philadelphia has a rich musical history. I was keen to experience it, first hand. When I arrived, I was certain there would be a Hall and Oates museum. I longed to go there. I imagined myself being thrilled by the big drum kit from the ‘Out of Touch’ video, or learning how to do the ‘shoulder shimmy’ dance so beautifully executed by Darryl in the video to ‘Maneater’. Perhaps they still had John Oates’ moustache in captivity. But, sadly, there was no such place. Bands aren’t commemorated with statues or museums. They just tour the nostalgia circuit. That they’ve fallen out is bad enough. That the reason for their falling out is unknown is intolerable. Luckily, I have family members in Philadelphia as we speak and I am assured they’re looking into it. Hopefully we get some answers soon. When I first learned that Hall and Oates were in some kind of unspecified dispute, it felt like part of my childhood had died. It also made me go back to some of those glorious songs. Perhaps it’s just a misunderstanding. Maybe they’ll find a way to put their differences aside. I hope so. If they do manage to get over it, it’d surely make my dreams come true. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston shooting case – Accused commited for trial Compiled by Cameron McCullough PETER Gordon Hannah, an ex-constable of police, appeared, on Tuesday, before Messrs. Armstrong (chairman) Oates, and Brown, J.’sP., on remand from the City Court, and was charged with having, on the 18th inst., shot with intent to murder Senior Constable James Culhane, and Constable James Alexander Graham. Sub-Inspector Spratling prosecuted, Detective Sergeant Armstrong assisting. Accused was defended by Mr. E. F. S. England. In outlining the case Sub-Inspector Spratling detailed the happenings from the time accused was seen in the Prince of Wales Hotel, up to the time the shooting took place. James Culhane, senior constable, sworn, said “that on the 17 of November, 1923, at about 11 p.m., in company with Constable Graham, he saw accused at the Prince of Wales Hotel, under the influence of liquor. Hannah greeted me saying, “ Good night.” I said, “Good night, Jim,” and shook hands. He also greeted Graham, asking him why he was not on strike. Graham said, “It’s too late to go out now.” Hannah said, “It’s not too late – come out, and be a man.” He then handed a pamphlet to each of us. We then left the hotel, and went over to the verandah of the Pier Hotel. Hannah came out of the Prince of Wales Hotel, and walked to a motor car, and it appeared that the driver was trying to get him into the car. We then went into the Bay View Hotel. Accused followed. He again spoke of the strike. I walked out, followed by Graham, and was only out a few seconds later when I heard a struggle.

Going back I saw Graham on his back on the floor. Accused was kneeling over him with his thumb pressed into Graham’s neck. I remonstrated with him, telling him it would do his case no good.” He said, “You go to ––––. This is only a scab. I’m going to kill him.” “I got him off, and he rushed at me. After struggling with him Graham came to my assistance.” “We took Hannah out of the hotel to a car. I asked if that was Hannah’s car. The driver said yes. I told accused to go get in it, and go home, and we tried to get him in; but owing to his damaging the car the driver refused to take him, and drove away. “Accused took up a fighting attitude, and we arrested him and took him to the watch-house, accused struggling all the way. Inside the police station gates he said he would go quietly, and was taken to the office. I opened the door and went inside, and led Hannah in. He was between us. “Just as I was lighting the gas I heard a shot, saw a flash, and heard Graham fall. I asked Graham if he was hurt, he did not answer, and then, as I was stooping over Graham, I heard another shot, and felt a stinging pain in the back. I fell out of the office, and crawling round the side, leant against the wall. Accused walked past me, and said, ‘Do you want another, Jim.’ I answered ‘No,’ I’ve had enough.’ My wife rushed out with a candle, and, helped me in. I crawled over to Dr. Maxwell’s, and was taken to a hospital, where an operation was performed by Drs Maxwell and Le Souef. “I was in uniform, and was wearing the overcoat and clothes produced, which showed bullet holes. I have known accused some time, and was

friendly with him.” Questioned by the Crown Prosecutor: “How far was it from the motor car to the police station?” “About a quarter of a mile.” “Have you given all the material facts?” “I have.” James Alexander Graham, mounted constable, stationed at Frankston, sworn, said that the evidence given by the previous witness was true and correct, up to the time of leaving the Bay View Hotel, when Senior Constable Culhane went out. Accused, who was very drunk, said to me, “Jimmy, you are a scab,” and catching hold of me threw me to the floor. He got on top of me and pressed his thumb to my throat, saying, as he did so, “I will kill you; you are only a b— scab.” Culhane pulled him off. Witness corroborated the evidence leading up to the arrest, and said, “When we took accused into the office, I was behind him. I saw a flash and heard a shot, and felt a stinging pain in my left shoulder. I fell to the floor. The flash came from the direction of the accused. I got up and went onto the path, and saw Culhane leaning against the wall. I then went into the street, and ran to the Bay View Hotel. While there someone opened my shirt, and a bullet fell out, similar to that produced at the time. Dr. Maxwell, said “at about 12.30am on November 18 Mrs. Culhane called personally, and in consequence of what I was told, I went to the Bay View Hotel, and saw Graham. From what he told me I went to the police station, from thence to my surgery, where I saw Culhane staggering up the path. I assisted him in and examined him. I found he

was shot, and seriously injured. I took him in a cab to a private hospital, where I further examined him, and found a wound above the left shoulder blade, bleeding freely.” Questioned, the doctor said: “The wound could have been caused by a bullet. I had Culhane X-rayed on the 19th, and the bullet located. An operation was performed on Tuesday, and the bullet removed.” Constable T. Nicholls, Mordialloc, said: “On 18th November, at about 4am, I was on the Mordialloc Bridge, I saw a car approaching me from the direction of Frankston, which I stopped, I said to accused, ‘What is your name?’ He said, ‘What is that to do with you?’ I replied, ‘I am a constable of police, stationed at Mordialloc, and I am looking for an ex-constable named Hannah, who is said to have shot two Frankston police.” I also said, “Are you Hannah?” Accused said, “No, my name is Brown.” I asked him what he was. He replied, “A labourer, out of employment,” I said to him, “Were you ever in the police force?” He said, “No,” and denied being at Frankston that night.” I asked him where he got the mark above his eye.” He said, “I was in a brawl at Chelsea.” After further conversation I took him to the police station. I telephoned Frankston, and Detective Sergeant Armstrong and Constable Ryan, who later arrived, identified him as exConstable Hannah. He was searched, and the revolver produced was found in his possession containing three live cartridges and two empty shells. Detective Sergeant Armstrong informed the accused, in answer to his question, that he would be charged with shooting Culhane and Graham with intent to murder.

He was taken to MeIbourne by Detective Sergeant Armstrong.” Allan Johnston, motor driver, gave evidence of the hiring of the car, and said accused appeared to have been drinking; and had drinks on the way to Frankston. “I pulled up near a hotel, and accused got out. Coming back he asked me to have a drink, and I refused. Accused went back to the hotel, and after waiting for about 9 minutes I went to look for accused, and saw him with two policemen, one of which I can identify as Constable Graham. I saw the quarrelling, and came out and started the engine. I next saw accused with two policemen, who were trying to get him into the car. I refused to take him owing to his having done considerable damage to the car, and drove off.” Detective Sergeant Armstrong, sworn, said: “That, in consequence of what I was told I went to Mordialloc Police Station, and saw accused. Accused was taken to the City watchhouse, where a further search was made, and 10 live cartridges were found (produced). The two bullets (produced) were handed to me on November 21st by Constable Graham, and Dr. Maxwell, and have remained in my possession ever since.” This closed the case for the Crown. Accused, who pleaded not guilty, reserved his defence, and was committed to appear at the Criminal Sessions on December 10th. Bail was allowed as before, Messrs. Harold William Webb and John Esmond being accepted as bondsmen. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 5 & 7 Dec 1923

Painting a championship portrait SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie BILLY Painting joined Rosebud last week hellbent on being part of the Olympic Park club’s title tilt next year. “I’m not just here to make up the numbers – I’m here to win the league,” Painting said. “And from what I hear that seems to be the mentality of everyone down there.” Painting’s switch ended a sevenyear stint at Skye United and the 28-year-old central defender is hoping the move reignites his passion for football. “I really needed a new challenge because I’d fallen out of love with the game,” he said. “I don’t really know why. “I just knew that I needed a change but leaving Skye was a very hard thing to do. “I spoke to a few players at Skye’s presentation and while I didn’t really get the chance to say goodbye I’ll be down there watching them next year whenever I get the chance.” English-born Painting arrived in Melbourne in 2008 and played with a host of clubs – Berwick City, Croydon, Box Hill, Bentleigh Greens, Langwarrin, Casey Comets and Seaford United – before arriving at Skye Recreation Reserve. Ironically the initial link with Rosebud came through Skye assistant coach Peter Natsis who had applied for the then vacant coaching role in September and Painting was one of four players he intended bringing with him. Although Natsis ended his interest in the job Rosebud keeper Colin McCormack knew Painting well and played a significant role in convincing him to make the move. And no-one at Olympic Park was more delighted than new head coach Stuart Johnson who was glowing in his praise of the experienced defender. “Billy is such a lovely footballer, really graceful and I like that in a defender,” Johnston said. “We’ve also signed Jhai Watts who is a midfielder with a really good engine and he can also fill-in as a central defender.

“Having a spine with Colin, Billy and Jhai with a couple more to come in we’ll have experience there which is really important.” Watts has played in Melbourne’s north-west at State 4 and State 5 levels with Lara and Bell Park. Another newcomer is midfielder Frank Barrett who has been involved with one of Plymouth Argyle’s development centres. However Johnson concedes that there are players who have indicated that they could look elsewhere and two of those are young striker Noah Musso and experienced defender Dougie Cunnison. Musso had a breakout senior season this year winning State 5 South’s best and fairest and Golden Boot awards while Cunnison is a former Keilor Park captain. “Noah definitely falls into the category of ‘what does the future hold for me’ and I don’t know what he’ll do at the end of the day,” Johnson added. “Whether or not we sign Dougie is an ongoing conversation but signing someone like Billy gives us an alternative in that space immediately.”

In NPL2 news Langwarrin’s first pre-season hit-out resulted in a 4-3 away loss to Manningham United Blues at Petty’s Reserve on Friday night. West Australian striker Joe O’Brien, Archie Macphee and Jacob Brito scored for Langy and head coach Jamie Skelly was pleased with the display. “It was good to get 45 minutes into all the players, there were some good passages of play and an opportunity for some younger players to test themselves against a good quality team,” Skelly said. “There’s still likely to be two or three more key signings as we are looking to strengthen in all areas of the pitch.” In State 3 news Frankston Pines made the deadline last week for payment of part of its annual fees to Football Victoria. The governing body recently announced that member clubs owed nearly $2 million in unpaid fees and threatened to kick clubs out of State League if a significant part of their debt wasn’t settled by the end of No-

vember. FV is expected to name Pines in an updated list of financially compliant clubs shortly. The major makeover of Pines’ squad continues under new coach Donn Delaney and assistant Trevor Johnston. The bulk of the newcomers are from Peninsula Strikers, Delaney’s old stomping ground, but he’s also got players at training from a range of clubs including Mazenod and Mount Eliza. An under-16 group from State 4 neighbour Chelsea also is training at Monterey. “We’re looking okay and we’ll get better as we definitely have some quality boys there,” Delaney said. A core group of players have left but that was anticipated and played an important role in Delaney being hired. “Well that was part of the process wasn’t it,” Delaney added. “We wanted a restart and to get some youth into the group and that is what we are doing.” The departures include captain

Ryan Ratcliffe, Joey O’Connor and Dylan Waugh while a number of players are undecided about whether or not to stay. Ratcliffe is a former Malvern City captain and joined Pines from Tasmanian club Launceston United for the 2022 season. “I was really disappointed that we went down this year,” Ratcliffe said. “If we had kept the team that got us up from State 3 I have no doubts that we would have done really well in State 2. “But now there’s a new coach, a new environment so maybe it’s for the best that a core group has moved on. “I haven’t spoken to a lot of the boys to be honest as I left the (Facebook) group chat about three weeks ago. “When Donn got the job I had it confirmed by other players not the club and when I got a text from Donn I told him I was going to look elsewhere.” Relegation back to State 3 hit Ratcliffe hard but he hopes the club recovers quickly. “As the captain I took responsibility for the relegation. “Someone had to do that and I put my hand up. “They are trying to go down a different path now so I wish them well and I hope that a new fresh approach works for them.” O’Connor joined Pines from Casey Comets five years ago. Like Ratcliffe he was a walk-up start whenever available and is a major loss. He’s training with Brandon Park. Waugh will have arthroscopic hip surgery on Thursday and will wait on the outcome before deciding where he’ll play next year. “Essentially I have to get the hip joint cleaned out and part of the hip bones shaved off as they have been rubbing and causing damage for years. “The surgeon will advise me as to whether or not I can keep playing and if I do decide to play on I think I’ll drop down a league or two.” The departed players will have no shortage of suitors and already local clubs in State 2 and State 4 have shown interest.
