Cyclists join the honours list ‘Dirty’ diner dished up fine
CYCLISTS from Aspendale and Mordialloc have received the Order of Australia for their ‘services to cycling’ as part of this week’s Queen’s Birthday honours list. Olympic gold medallist Anthony Marchant, 79, was rewarded for his achievements in his short but successful career. Becoming interested in cycling around the age of 16, Marchant started out at Chelsea Cycling Club and moved his way through the junior and senior ranks. Then aged 18 years old, Marchant was called up to join the Australian Olympic Cycling team in 1956. Marchant went on to win gold in Melbourne and still recalls the joy of the occasion. “I will never forget the experience,” he said. “It’s hard to express, it was quite a thrill.” “We were the underdogs at the time and even though we had some very good times in training, we didn’t perform very well in the opening rounds but luckily we started to get going.” Marchant then spent a year away from the sport and took up football at Hastings. “I needed some rest for a bit and nothing major was coming up in cycling,” he said. Marchant returned the following year to continue his ventures as a cyclist until he retired in 1961. “I should have probably stayed a bit longer but I decided to continue with my business studies”.

received an Order of Australia in this week’s awards. Sanders has become one of Australia’s most successful cycling coaches and also had an impressive career riding in Australia, Great Britain and Europe. Sanders worked at the Victorian
Institute of Sport for 26 years as the head cycling coach and has worked with some of Australia’s greatest cyclists such as Cadel Evans, Baden Cooke and Simon Gerrans. Last year, Sanders moved to the Australian World Tour cycling team Orica-Scott and has now taken up a coach/mentor role. Ben Triandafillou
WHAT’S ON @ MOONAH LINKS
A BURGER joint in Frankston has been slapped with a $30,000 fine for multiple food handling offences including failing “to maintain the food premises to a standard of cleanliness”. The America-themed diner’s proprietor was fined in Frankston Magistrates’ Court in February for 44 breaches of the Food Act after Frankston Council health inspectors visited Big Dog Diner on five occasions between August and November last year. Council inspectors were “obstructed” from carrying out food safety inspections in August according to the state government’s Food Convictions Register listing the hygiene offences at Big Dog Diner. Offences included a failure “to store food in such a way that it was protected from the likelihood of contamination”, failure “to maintain the food premises to a standard of cleanliness where there was no accumulation of garbage, food waste, dirt, grease or other visible matter” and a failure “to maintain easily accessible hand washing facilities”. Frankston Council acting CEO Tim Frederico confirmed one of the charges “was in relation to obstruction of council officers when under-

taking their duties”. “Where incidents such as this occur, council will subsequently deploy additional officers for any future onsite inspections at the known premises to ensure the safety of our staff,” Mr Frederico said in a statement. “Council officers have inspected the property twice since the court hearing to ensure the business has adhered to all food safety standards and regulations and will continue to do so as per council’s normal procedures. “Currently, the premises meet all relevant food safety rules and regulations.” Mr Frederico said council works with more than 850 food outlets across Frankston to ensure compliance with food safety rules and regulations. There is also a Big Dog Diner restaurant in Bendigo.
