Photographer channels Argentine roots AN exhibition of photos taken in Argentina is on display at the Frankston Arts Centre. Photographer Osvaldo Civetta (pictured) was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He emigrated to Melbourne when he was 15. At the invitation of a friend he returned to his country of birth, where he shot photographs of Indigenous Argentinian people. He is now displaying his work at the Arts Centre as part of an exhibition titled Roots, Raices. “The exhibition was inspired through an invitation by friend and artist Jaime Torres, Argentine musician and worldrenowned interpreter of charango, to visit his cultural centre in his native province of Jujuy, Argentina – rich in heritage and astonishing scenery,” Mr Civetta said. “The theme of the exhibition is a look at the everyday lives in contrast with the modern world of the native people of Jujuy and Salta, Argentina.” The exhibition is on at the Arts Centre’s Atrium Gallery until 16 April. Postcard photographs are on sale from $12 and large photographic prints from $90 to $300. Picture: Supplied

New clinic for musculoskeletal conditions at hospital Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A DEDICATED rheumatology clinic has opened at Frankston Hospital for people suffering from musculoskeletal conditions. The clinic can treat arthritis and 150 other types of musculoskeletal is-

sues. As well as providing rheumatology services in the outpatient clinic, Frankston Hospital’s upgraded service aims to improve care for patients who are being treated in other areas of the hospital by allowing them to be referred for a rheumatology consult. Peninsula Health rheumatology consultant Dr Bita Omidvar says the clinic is “the first of its kind at Penin-

sula Health.” “Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula has not had local access to a publicly funded outpatient rheumatology for some years, meaning some patients would be travelling two, even three hours to get the treatment they need – which is not very convenient,” Dr Omidvar said. “We’re bringing world class care

closer to home for the local community in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Now GPs can refer any patients with arthritis, gout, any sort of inflammatory connective tissue diseases – such as lupus, vasculitis– and those with suspected rheumatological conditions for specialised care to an easily accessible public clinic. “Hospital inpatients are referred to

us by other specialists on wards services or in other departments. This is a game-changer, because previously the admitting team was required to manage any rheumatology condition and sometimes need to transfer the patient to another hospital. Since we introduced this service, we don’t have to do that anymore.”

Heritage sites under review POTENTIAL heritage sites in Frankston are now under review. Council’s heritage gap review has identified 23 places that it says “warrant further consideration for heritage overlay protection”. Sites considered for heritage protection include numerous homes, the Riviera Hotel in Seaford, the Frankston Mechanics Institute, the former Methodist Church in High Street, and the former Colonial Bank of Australasia on the Nepean Highway. Earlier this year, five residents spoke in opposition to the proposal at a council meeting. They were concerned that if their properties were placed under

heritage protection, it would become more difficult to maintain and sell their homes. One resident called the proposed changes a “nightmare”. Cr Brad Hill said “heritage places can provide essential links with the past and help us to define our shared community history. Frankston has a rich history. Research shows that communities value and have a strong connection to the past and protection of heritage places is an important step in maintaining the link.” “Residents have told us that they value the positive contribution heritage places make to the historical context and identity of Frankston and

its suburbs; and the role that heritage makes in contributing to the importance of place and cultural connectedness,” he said. “We’re keen to get input from residents and receive feedback regarding views on heritage. The Frankston Heritage Survey will help us gain insights into community values and understanding of heritage both indigenous and European. Our survey takes about five minutes and closes on 20 April.” Provide feedback at frankston.vic. gov.au/Your_Council/Have_Your_ Say/Frankston_Heritage_Survey

Indigenous health expo coming up THE Bay Mob Expo will return to Nairm Marr Djambana this Friday. The expo will showcase health, education, and wellbeing services available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Elder Helen Bnads, cultural lead at Peninsula Health, said “the Bay Mob Expo is a great example of the active and respected partnership between the local Aboriginal communities, Peninsula Health and other organisations of the south eastern area.” “This free family event brings together health, education, sports, arts, government providers to share information about their services and to pro-

mote further Aboriginal safety, strong culture, strong peoples aspiration of self-determination.” The Frankston Mornington Peninsula Primary Care Partnership is hosting the event. The event’s organiser says “the expo is provided to break down barriers to local health services, employment and educational pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula – and to build long-term partnerships with service providers.” The Bay Mob Expo will run from 12pm to 4pm on 16 April at 32 Nursery Ave, Frankston.

NEWS DESK Police patrol

with Brodie Cowburn

Teenagers in allegedly stolen car arrested THREE teenagers were arrested after being caught by police in an allegedly stolen car last week. Police intercepted the allegedly stolen Land Rover Discovery at the intersection of Frankston-Cranbourne Road and McClelland Drive in Langwarrin at around 2.30pm, 5 April. Two 13-year-old boys and one

14-year-old boy were arrested. One of the boys was arrested when police intercepted the car, while the other two allegedly fled into Peninsula Private Hospital. The two boys were subsequently arrested as well. Police allege that while the arrests were being made, an attempt was made to carjack a pregnant woman.

Police say nobody was injured during the incident. The three teenagers were remanded in custody.

with 12 offences including conduct endangering life and conduct endangering serious injury. Two vehicles have been seized by police as part of their investigation. They allege that the two Holden sedans were involved with “high-risk driving events”. The three men were bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 17 November.

Mail thief remanded A FRANKSTON woman has been charged for allegedly stealing mail. Police on the Nepean Highway in Frankston saw a woman riding a BMX without a helmet at around 6pm, 2 April. They pulled her over and searched her bag. Police say that they found over 50 pieces of allegedly stolen mail in other people’s names inside the woman’s bag. She was charged with multiple offences including theft, handle stolen goods, commit an indictable offence whilst on bail, contravene bail conditions, and possession of identification information. The woman is expected to be remanded to appear in court at a later date.

Hold the phone THE state government is spending $33.7 million on technology that can detect drivers using their mobile phones. Legislation will also be introduced to back up the methods being used to detect “distracted” drivers. A three-month trial assessed 679,438 vehicles and found that one in 42 drivers were illegally using a mobile phone while driving. The trial was conducted while stage four coronavirus restrictions were in place, leading authorities to believe the rate of offending could be higher when roads are busier and movement is not restricted. Using two portable cameras across several metropolitan and regional locations, the trial found the highest rates of mobile phone use at Craigieburn Road East, Wollert (one in 18 drivers), Calder Park Drive, Hillside (one in 21) and Old Geelong Road, Laverton (one in 28). The new technology can also detect drivers not wearing a seatbelt, driving without hands on the wheel or with pets on laps.

Alleged hoons charged THREE men will appear at the Frankston Magistrates Court after being charged with offences dating back three years. On 2 April, police charged a 21-year-old Cranbourne man with 54 offences relating to nine hoon events across the Cranbourne area in the last three years. Charges laid include reckless conduct endangering life, possess MDMA, and possession of an imitation firearm. An 18-year-old Cranbourne man was charged with 12 offences including reckless conduct endangering life and incitement. A 20-year-old Cranbourne West man was also charged

Hairdresser’s helping hand for homeless A FRANKSTON barber has been helping the homeless with free haircuts. Warwick Smith, from Breathe Hair salon, has been providing vouchers for homeless people to get their hair cut. “If we can all do a little bit we can make Frankston amazing,” he said. “Since a child I’ve wanted to be part of making a better world. I feel that is possible – just start small and local. Let’s make it happen together.” Mr Smith’s hard work has been recognised with a certificate of appreciation from Frankston councillors. Cr Liam Hughes said “whether Warwick is giving haircuts to the homeless, running a vegan sausage sizzle at Bunnings to promote a more sustainable lifestyle or picking up rubbish around Frankston, he doesn’t do it to be seen – he does it out of the kindness of his heart. Warwick is an unsung hero of Frankston.”

State terminates AGL’s gas import plan Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au THE state government has knocked back power company AGL’s plans for a gas import terminal at Crib Point. Planning Minister Richard Wynne said the project, which also included a 55 kilometre gas pipeline to Pakenham, was refused because of the “unacceptable effects” it would have on Western Port’s environment. In a statement on Tuesday 30 March Mr Wynne said his decision was based on a review of AGL’s environmental effects statement, which attracted more than 6000 submissions and encouraged protests either organised by or attended by community group Save Westernport, Environment Victoria, Mornington Peninsula Shire and the state opposition. “It’s very clear to me that this project would cause unacceptable impacts on the Western Port environment and the Ramsar wetlands – it’s important that these areas are protected,” Mr Wynne said. AGL said it was “reviewing and considering its position” following Mr Wynne’s decision and would provide an “update” on its “impact on the project”. The AGL statement authorised by its market disclosure committee said about $130 million had been “committed or incurred” on the project, or about $28m more than stated to the Australian stock exchange in June 2018. Jane Carnegie, of Save Westernport, said “science and good sense has won

IMPROMPTU it may have been, but there was no suppressing the joy felt by members of the antiAGL forces after they heard about the government’s refusal of a gas import terminal at Crib Point. out ... The government has listened to us and to the thousands of people in our community who have worked tirelessly to save our beautiful environment from a potential catastrophe,” she said. “Western Port was never the place for such a monstrous, environmentally damaging project. “AGL’s idea for a floating, hazardous gas factory in an internationally significant wetland should never have made it off the drawing board, let alone taken three years of relentless community opposition to save a bay that belongs to all Victorians.” Opposition planning spokesperson David Davis said the state government had “adopted Victorian Liberal Nationals policy to oppose the Crib Point gas import terminal”. “The Andrews Labor Government has been

dragged kicking and screaming to make this decision,” Mr Davis said. Hastings MP Neale Burgess said that “due to public pressure the government has now followed [the Liberals lead]”. “My community has been telling the Andrews Labor government for years that we do not want this project. I’m very proud to have worked with my local community to secure this great outcome,” he said. Flinders Liberal MP Greg Hunt credited “the work of Save Westernport, the Mornington Peninsula Shire, Neale Burgess MP and others in the local community” for Mr Wynne’s decision. “Throughout this fight, I have been clearly, absolutely, unequivocally opposed to the AGL gas plant in Westernport,” Mr Hunt said.

“This project was always a solution to a problem of the Andrews government’s own making, thanks to their now cancelled moratorium on local conventional gas exploration, and I’m pleased they have listened to the peninsula’s strong objection to this proposal.” Nepean Labor MP Chris Brayne said he had always lived on the peninsula and saw the decision against AGL as “a victory for a committed, environmentally passionate community who have stood up and fought for years now to protect the beautiful environment and pristine bay that we call home”. “Every step of the way, I listened to the community and I relayed the community’s feedback to [Mr Wynne],” he said. “[The] decision is the result of that strong local voice.”

Plea for less pokies KINGSTON Council has called for the local cap on gaming machines to be slashed. The mayor Steve Staikos called the impact of gambling on residents “catastrophic”, with more than $62 million lost in 2019/2020. “As councillors we are extremely concerned about the impact of gambling harm in our community and have said enough is enough, we need to stop more pokies being allowed in Kingston,” he said. “Under our current cap levels, a further 268 licensed electronic gaming machines could be allowed in Kingston, this is excessive and will only lead to further harm for those families and individuals already suffering.” Councillors are asking for the EGM cap to be lowered to 945, equivalent to the current number of licensed EGMs in the Kingston area. “We know there are connections between gambling harm and mental ill-health, family violence, homelessness and other social and health issues that we care deeply about in Kingston,” Cr Staikos said. “Anything that we can do to reduce gambling harm is a good thing for the whole community.”

GRANTS are being sought for two standalone netball courts at Roy Dore Reserve. The $9.1 million redevelopment of the Carrum sporting complex is due to finish in 2023. Works on cricket nets, tennis courts, and oval lighting are currently included as part of the multi-stage project. Work on the netball facilities would form another stage of the project if the grant application succeeds. Kingston councillor Cameron Howe said “the vision is to develop a destination sporting precinct in Carrum, meeting the needs of users whether it is cricket, football, netball, tennis or playtime in the park.” “New netball facilities meet cultural expectations at both a club and competition level, fostering a more inclusive space of sporting interests.” For more information visit yourkingstonyoursay.com.au/roy-dore-reserve-netball-facilitiesupgrade WORK being completed on the redeveloped pavilion at Roy Dore Reserve in Carrum.

Pat Rollo pavilion works begin WORK has begun on the redevelopment of a Pines sporting ground. Pat Rollo Reserve is undergoing a $2.8 million facelift. Construction of a new pavilion is now underway. The existing Pat Rollo Reserve pavilion is more than 40 years old. The $2.8 million project includes two new female-friendly change rooms, umpires rooms, accessible toilets, a kitchen and kiosk, a meeting room, and a social room. The redeveloped space will be used by Pines Football Netball Club, Pines Junior Football Club, and Pines Cricket Club. Pines FNC women’s football vice president, Kim Jackson, said “we’re absolutely thrilled that

council is investing in the club and the area this way. By having great facilities and infrastructure for the smaller clubs, it will provide more diversity in the competition.” “We want to encourage families to become part of the club and stay to socialise rather than drop off and walk away. We’re trying to develop a sense of belonging in the Frankston North community through kids playing sport together, and encouraging people to become part of the club. I think this will give them a welcoming place that they’ll feel proud to belong to.” The project, jointly funded by Frankston Council and the state government, is due to be completed by mid-2022.

Artist hits the wall with eye for self-parody THE art of self-parody works for Ben Ross. One of his first pitches for a commercial job was a caricature of himself doing some yoga poses. He didn’t get the job, but the character he drew, Bennie, became an inspiration that continued to evolve while Ross subsequently surfed in Mexico. “My vision really came alive. The soft palettes you see on my work today are all Mexican inspired: soft pastels, white beaches, blue and pink skies. Mexico was a true inspiration,” Ross says. Now back on the Mornington Peninsula, the self-taught artist is two years into a graphics career and has just finished a four metre high

mural for a Dromana rum distillery. Although Bennie was a much distorted selfportrait, Ross finds it interesting that people can “see themselves” in numerous other fictious characters that pop up in his works. “Whenever I'm painting, I’ll get people saying, ‘that's me’, which is good, that's what I want. “I want people to put themselves in my art and get away from the harsh realities of this world, so I love it when they come up and say, ‘that one could be me’. That means what I'm doing is right in my eyes, and that also means that person is seeing themselves in my art.” Keith Platt

Brush-ups revive tollway’s artworks

THREE of the most recognisable artworks along the 39 kilometres of the EastLink tollway have been renovated and restored. The collection of public artworks includes 12 artworks along the tollway and shared use path. EastLink says the artworks set among 480 hectares of landscaping are “arguably [form] Australia’s largest sculpture park”. “EastLink’s much-loved art collection cost $5 million when the artworks were commissioned and acquired shortly before EastLink opened in 2008, so it’s important they are maintained properly,” The company’s corporate affairs manager Doug Spencer-Roy said. “Three of the artworks needed maintenance recently, and with renovation works now complete, they are as good as

new,” he said. Public Art Strategy, by Melbournebased artist Emily Floyd, had some rust damage and patchy paintwork. The 13 metre tall black bird, which is contemplating a yellow worm, required 50 litres of black paint and 25 litres of yellow paint. Ellipsoidal Freeway Sculpture, by James Angus, was damaged in October 2018 by a runaway trailer carrying a small excavator. The paintwork of this 30 metre long artwork, called The Smarties by EastLink personnel, had also faded. Mr Spencer-Roy said the runaway trailer destroyed one of the 24 fibreglass ellipsoids and badly damaged another. The trailer operator’s insurance enabled EastLink to make and two replacement ellipsoids. Ellipsoidal Freeway Sculpture was also repainted to ensure the two new

pieces colour-matched the originals. Red Rings, by the late Inge King – a pioneer of contemporary sculpture – had faded paintwork, becoming a paler shade of its former self. The repainting of Red Rings’ three 2.5 metre diameter steel rings was completed shortly before the COVID pandemic. The artwork’s red colour contrasts with the green landscaping, “expressing the strength and tension that is the motivating force behind it”. “We will continue to look after the artworks on behalf of the community, in the same way as we look after the road, tunnels, bridges, landscaping, wetlands, and other EastLink assets,” Mr SpencerRoy said. Details about the tollway art, including a downloadable booklet with a map, is available on the EastLink website.

Red Rings is next to the EastLink Trail north of the Ferntree Gully Road interchange and is also visible from the tollway.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Bank manager grows ‘very fine’ potatoes Compiled by Cameron McCullough A VERY fine sample of potatoes has been brought under “The Standard’s” notice by Mr A. E. Lasslett. These potatoes, grown merely as a hobby for private use by Mr Lasslett at the State Savings Bank, Frankston, were of the Carmen variety, and two weighed about 2½ lbs each, whilst the whole plot is likewise good. The seed was not prepared or inoculated in any way, which is further proof of what the soil is really capable of in this district. *** MR Tom Perridge, the Tooradin sportsman, had another successful day at the Mornington gymkhana with his fine mare, Miss Maori. This beautiful animal, for which rumor says 150 guineas was recently refused, scored in the Equestrienne, Lady’s Hack, Jumping Horse, Lady’s Hunters and Hunter’s Plate events at the Mornington carnival, but already for the present year Miss Maori has won some 50 prizes at Frankston, Dandenong, Somerville, Flinders, Mornington and elsewhere. *** “THE Weekly Times,” in its last issue, has a series of pictures of the recent Somerville show amongst its illustrations. Besides glimpses of the ringside, there are photos of Miss Gullifer winning the Hunters on Miss Maori and Mr G. A. Grant’s fine exhibit of Jonathan and Five Crown apples. The Melbourne “Punch” also published full-page photographs of trade picnics at Frankston and Sorrento – all of which assist materially in

advertising the resources and natural beauty of the district. *** THE scholars of the Methodist Sunday School, Boneo, have sent, during the present year, £7 4s 6d to the Austin Hospital and 25 doz eggs to the Children’s Hospital, Melbourne. As the scholars are few in number, the effort may be considered very creditable and worthy of the heartiest commendation. *** MOOROODUC wants to be “well in it” when the umpire’s whistle sounds, and Mr. R. Grierson is convening a meeting for the purpose of forming a football club. Of course, Moorooduc does not contemplate entering the Peninsula competition. *** MR W. K. Jeffrey for some time Superintending Civil Engineer at the Flinders Naval Base, has vacated the position, and joined the Hume Pipe Co Pty Ltd., which is carrying out great developmental works in Western Australia. Mr Jeffrey has been succeeded at the Base by Mr Williams. *** MR W. Wilson Young, of “The Standard” staff, is at present enjoying a holiday in the Gembrook district. *** THE late Mrs Marion Beveridge, who died at Swan Reach, Gippsland, on March 23rd,was the mother of Mr Alick Beveridge, of Hastings. *** THE Melbourne “Punch” reports the engagement of Miss Lesley Chrystal

Madden, fourth daughter of the late Chief Justice, Sir John Madden, and Lady Madden, of Melbourne Mansions, but formerly of Mornington Road, Frankston, to Mr Louis E. Nelken, of Fawkner Mansions. *** THE marriage of Miss Ada Kirk Ritchie, daughter of Mr and Mr T. Ritchie, of “Ramsdale,” Mornington, to Mr Fred Victor Taylor (late A. I. F.), son of the late Mr. and Mrs H. Taylor, late of Middle Park, was celebrated at Scot’s Church, Collins Street, Melbourne, on April 1st, the Rev Dr Alexander Marshall officiating. The Bride, who was attended by two bridesmaids, Miss Doreen Campbell and Miss Sheila Shannon (cousin of the bride), was given away by her father, and Mr Reg K. Ritchie, brother of the bride, acted as best man. After the wedding ceremony, a reception and breakfast was held at the Grand Hotel, where about 40 guests were entertained. Among the wedding presents, which were numerous and handsome, was a wallet of English £1 notes, the gift of the Mornington Racing Club and friends. The Bride and Bridegroom left the next day by the Mantua on a three months honeymoon to Ceylon and India. *** Police Court Wm. Llewylyn, baker, of Chelsea was proceeded against by the Public Health Department for failing to protect food intended for sale from

flies, vermin etc. W.H. Close, departmental inspector, said that when he visited defendant’s shop in February he found a lad named Mayer in charge. Defendant was away on holidays. In the bakehouse he found seven loaves of bread uncovered, with myriads of flies about. There were spider webs on the walls, and in a bin containing wheaten meal he obtained the weevils shown in the sample produced. Cross-examined by Mr. Williams, Witness said there was no work going on in the bakehouse at the time of his inspection. P.M. It is one of the most disgusting practices possible to have flies crawling about food. Too much indifference was shown in connection with the fly nuisance. Julius Mayer, carter, in the employ of defendant, said the inspector found only two spider webs. The bakehouse had been whitewashed the day before the inspection. There were no more flies about than could be seen anywhere else. He saw no bread uncovered. The wheat meal was all sifted before being used. Inspector Close: Why sift the meal? Witness: Because we can’t keep the weevils out. Robert Stringer foreman baker, said he rarely saw wire doors on bakehouses. Flies could not be kept out by that means. Defendant said the bakehouse walls were swept once a week for cobwebs. Wire doors would not keep out flies. His baking was done at night,

except on Saturdays, and then they drove the flies out with bags. P.M. These flies are an abomination, and the regulation is not enforced enough. This applies, not only to the seaside, but to the suburbs. Defendant was fined, £2, with 10/6 costs. A similar charge against Mayer, the driver, was withdrawn. Malcolm Russell, butcher, of Chelsea, was charged with failing to wrap meat in plain white paper, also with failing to adopt effective means to keep flies out of his shop. Inspector Close said he saw defendant wrap seven lots of meat in common newspaper. P.M. Didn’t he even use a scrap of white paper as big as the palm of your hand, as many do? Inspector Close: No, he used no white paper. Defendant said he had a large roll of white paper on the premises, but an employee had failed to cut up sufficient, and he had run short when the inspector came. He had wire at the doors and windows, but the wind kept blowing the door open. P.M.: A good roll of paper may be good for show purposes. The evidence shows that you did not use it. You are fined £1 on the first charge; the second charge will be dismissed as you appear to have taken reasonable precautions to keep the place clean of flies. *** FROM the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 8 April 1921

WHAT’S NEW...

Lauren Guymer - Among The Trees AMONG The Trees is an exhibition at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery of watercolour paintings by artist Lauren Guymer, showing until 23 May. Lauren grew up on a small horse property on the Mornington Peninsula. With frequent camping trips and weekends spent at the beach or in the family studio, her love for nature and creativity were instilled from an early age. Among The Trees is a collection of new watercolour paintings inspired by Lauren Guymer’s encounters in the Australian landscape. Formed by her deep appreciation and connection to nature, these works are a visual representation of her experiences and the places she visits. Located just beyond her backyard on the Mornington Peninsula, the majority of these paintings depict the surrounding bushland, from trails winding through the native scrub to woodland along the coast. Spending endless hours observing and traversing among the trees, she intuitively explores the beauty, freedom, and refuge that nature provides. Using immense layers of detail, colour, and light, Guymer builds her peaceful places from memory. Embracing the fluidity and immediacy of watercolour, she paints large gestural movements across the paper before meticulously placing each mark into the landscape one brushstroke at a time. Lauren Guymer is an Australian visual artist who primarily creates landscape drawings and paintings on paper. From the native bushland to places further afield, she is inspired by the

natural world that surrounds her. Her process includes travelling, observing, and collecting inspiration from places, resulting in works that respond to her experiences and connection to the land. The native bushland and coastal scenery near her home has been a large influence in her work and is revisited often. Currently, Lauren lives and works in Melbourne. Her work has been selected for awards and prize shows including the 2020 and 2019 SBS Landscape prize, 2019 Lloyd Rees Memorial Youth Art Award, the 2018 Collins Place Summer Salon Prize, and the ‘Best in show – other Medium’ prize at Art Red Hill in 2017. Alongside these achievements, she has held two solo exhibitions at Outré Gallery and Off The Kerb Gallery in Melbourne, and has participated in multiple artist residencies in Australia and abroad.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Poetry of Voicemail By Stuart McCullough I HAVE a mobile phone - that should come as no surprise. I’m guessing you probably have one too. It occurs to me that I’ve had one for a long time now and that for years I’ve been recording a greeting that others must hear every time they call me and I don’t answer. Which, frankly, is often. For whatever reason, I remain surprised that anyone calls at all and, almost invariably, am too slow to answer. Put simply, any one who calls is likely to get a dose of my voicemail greeting. Let’s be honest – there’s a lot of pressure when you record a greeting on your mobile. Burdened by the knowledge that your entire family and all your friends are likely to hear it multiple times, it’s hard to get just the right tone. Without fail, every time I have to do such a recording, I am startled by the sound of my own voice. Put simply, I do not like what I hear at all. It doesn’t sound like me. I hope. Despite this, those leaving a message never see fit to question the identity of the speaker which means they must recognize my voice. This, of itself, is incredibly disappointing. Tone of voice is crucial. My preferred tone is one of mild annoyance – hopefully conveying to the listener that I am totally cheesed off that I have missed their phone call, but that it’s only because I am so unbelievably busy that the tragedy that is a missed phone call has occurred. You have to be careful, though. If you sound too annoyed, you may give them the impression you’re angry they rang.

PAGE 14

Frankston Times

Mild annoyance is, of course, little more than a smokescreen. Chances are, I’ve missed your call because I wasn’t paying attention. But, in my defence, it’s not entirely my fault. You see, like many people, I have acute telephonophobia. It’s a real thing. I think.

13 April 2021

My particular branch of telephonophobia concerns a fear that my phone will start ringing at an inopportune moment. We’ve all seen it. At a meeting, at the movies – someplace where all phones ought to be silent. Almost in-

evitably, someone is left to scramble for a bag or pocket to silence the offending device. It’s difficult to imagine a more spectacular social faux pas. To date, this has never happened to me. Not once. That’s because my phone is always on silent. I wouldn’t know if my phone even has a ring tone. This means that if it’s not sitting right in front of me or, better yet, in my hand when you call, chances are I won’t notice. Yet despite the fact that all calls made to me are likely to go through to voicemail, I’ve made very little effort with my voicemail message. Instead of the sound of me pretending to be mildly annoyed, there should be music and singing. It ought to be more of a celebration that someone has decided to call me. These things can’t be taken for granted. I can remember a period in my twenties when I had an answering machine I thought was broken but later learned had simply not been pressed into service because no one had rung. Voicemail ought to be fun. So fun, in fact, that the person wants to leave a message. We’ve all done it. We’ve called ready to talk - before hitting the voicemail and hanging up as a result of becoming despondent. Mobile phones generally tell you whose call you’ve missed. My father has a mobile phone but still treats it with the utmost suspicion. If you want to reach him, you’ve got to use the landline. And, because he’s usually out in the paddock cutting yet more firewood to add to the ‘World’s Largest Known Woodpile’ (confirmation for which is still pending from the folks at ‘Guinness’),

you’re invariably going through to his answering machine. Frankly, my father has given up. Once, there was a message in which he solemnly recited the phone number as though reading out the week’s lottery numbers before lamenting that he had been unable to get to the phone. Now it’s just some computerized voice inviting you to leave a message. The problem with the computer lady is that you’ve no idea if you’ve rung the right number or whether you’re about to leave a message for a complete stranger. I choose to hang up. My father is not one to take hang ups lying down. Invariably, he launches a full-scale investigation in which he rings about thirty of his closest confidantes and demands to know whether they had called and failed to leave a message. The problem with this approach is that it invariably puts you in a defensive frame of mind. I tend to deny calling even if I had. It’s not unusual for him to call people he hasn’t spoken in decades all as part of a process of elimination. Hopefully, none of this is too controversial. I should probably pay more attention than I do, but I can improve my message. I hereby pledge to replace my voicemail message with something more inviting and engaging. Trust me, you’re going to want to leave a message. But if anything I’ve said causes you concern – feel free to reach out. Send an email or, alternatively, give me a call. Obviously, you’ll need to leave a message, because there’s no chance of me picking up. None at all. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

An unforgettable experience for Mums AS theatres and arts venues welcome audiences back in 2021, an abundance of live performance is back on the menu for arts lovers. From classic theatre pieces to deeply moving works to much-loved children’s book adaptations, this year’s program of events at Frankston Arts Centre has something for everyone. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow, children’s show The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Sydney Dance Company’s Impermanence, Opera Australia’s Carmen, an entrancing repertoire including new works performed by The Australian Ballet School and Windmill Theatre Company’s Amphibian are just a few of the shows set to wow audiences throughout the year. A production of George Orwell’s powerful Animal Farm, the charming and wacky kids show Brass Monkeys and Mental As Everything – a raw and honest cabaret that explores the multifaceted nature of mental illness – are also among the highlights. Frankston Arts Centre’s Head of Programming, Tammy Ryan, said the Centre team is excited to bring back the energy, passion, life and unforgettable experiences to the venue following the ‘intermission’ of 2020 caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. “As 2021 unfolds and after working with artists, touring companies and arts organisations we are delighted that many of the shows originally scheduled to perform in 2020 are once again able to return to Frankston as part of this year’s program.

“It was incredibly important to honour the arrangements, livelihoods and work of the artists and companies that were halted in 2020 and we sincerely hope that we can bring the shows to you as planned this year, along with revealing some incredible new shows as part of the program,” Ms Ryan said. Just in time for Mother’s Day, you can gift the Mum who needs ‘nothing’ with the gift she really wants – time and experiences to create memories with her family. For those hard-to-buy-for Mums, a gift card for the Frankston Arts Centre may be just the ticket. In addition to the FAC’s 2021 Season, Gift Cards can be used to book tickets for a huge range of events happening this year at Frankston Arts Centre. Music loving Mums will enjoy shows such as The Songs of Dolly Parton, Hooked: Dr Hook and the Medicine Show Tribute, an electrifying cruise through the music of the 50s & 60s in Shake Rattle ‘n’ Roll, the passionate music and dance of A Taste of Ireland, or the ‘Angel of Australia’ Mirusia in A Salute to The Seekers. If you are stuck for ideas for the Mum who has everything, give the gift of a theatrical experience and an evening out with you. Frankston Arts Centre gift cards can be purchased online at thefac.com.au.

Redlegs outrun Frankston Bombers DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn MT ELIZA have started the year on the right foot with a big win over the Frankston Bombers. The Redlegs signalled their intent early with a big first quarter. A four goals to one opening term put the Bombers on the back foot. The Redlegs continued to apply pressure throughout the match, and ended up running out 55 point winners. The final score read 5.5 (35) to 13.12 (90). Sam Gill, Lachlan Williams, Sam Webster, Zach Rouse, and Nicholas McKinnon kicked two goals each for the winning side.

By Brodie Cowburn RYE have opened their season with a strong win over Devon Meadows. Both sides had to contend with difficult weather conditions at RJ Rowley Reserve. After a scrappy opening half, Rye

opened up a two goal lead. Devon Meadows wrestled back control in the third quarter, and took a one point lead into the final term. The Demons piled on the pressure in the final quarter, scoring five goals to zero. They sprinted over the finish line to an impressive 9.9 (63) to 4.8 (32) win.

Crib Point scored a huge win to start their 2021 campaign. The Magpies scored eight goals to two in a dominant first half against Pearcedale. They continued to put their opponents to the sword, eventually claiming a 58 point win. Karingal put together a comprehen-

Table-topping start for local trio SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie MORNINGTON, Frankston Pines and Seaford United head their respective leagues after three rounds of the 2021 season. And NPL2 outfit Langwarrin is second on goal difference to Goulburn Valley Suns with both sides enjoying a perfect start to their league campaigns. A Tom Youngs tap-in after 29 minutes was enough to separate Langy and Moreland Zebras at Lawton Park on Saturday. Rogan McGeorge sent George Howard down the right and Howard’s ball across the face of goal was cut back by Damir Stoilovic on the left for a simple finish by Youngs. Howard injured a hamstring during the build-up and was replaced by Shayan Alinejad. The extent of Howard’s injury will be determined this week. Mornington ran out a 3-2 winner against Casey Comets at Dallas Brooks Park in a clash which Mornington coach Adam Jamieson was delighted to win especially after a nasty pre-match exchange with his Comets counterpart. Mornington was 1-0 down at halftime but Mark Vangeli levelled early in the second half when he hammered the ball home following a Sam Scott free-kick. A diving header from Wayne Gordon in the 69th minute made it 2-1 but within a minute Comets equalised. In the 85th minute Josh Hine’s shot slammed off the bar and Milos Lujic won the race to the rebound to poke home the winner. The result clinched the home side’s top-of-the-table status and condemned its opponent to a second successive defeat. In State 2 news an Aaran Currie hat-trick underpinned a 4-2 home win for Peninsula Strikers against Brandon Park on Saturday. Strikers led 2-1 at half-time thanks to Currie and Ben Doree and Currie added two more goals in the second half with typically clinical finishing inside the area to seal Brandon Park’s fate. State 2 neighbour Skye United had a successful trip to Egan Lee Reserve with a 2-1 away win over Knox City

last weekend. A stunning strike from former Heatherton United player Nejib Ullah Ali in the 14th minute put Skye in front but it took an excellent save from Skye keeper Jonathan Crook to deny Josh Calle from the spot and give the visitors a half-time lead. Ray Markley equalised for Knox in the 60th minute but Caleb Nicholes got the winner from the spot six minutes later. His first attempt was saved but the big man tucked away the rebound. In State 3 the Frankston Pines juggernaut showed no signs of slowing when Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor’s men defeated home team Ashburton United 3-0 last weekend. Pines’ goals came from Simon Webster, Joe O’Connor and CJ Hodgson. In State 4 Harry McCartney reports that a combination of injuries, suspensions and unavailability couldn’t stop Seaford United maintaining its unbeaten start to the league season

by accounting for visitor Springvale City 2-0 on Saturday. Seaford started on top and was rewarded in the 26th minute. Dylan Waugh got on the end of a poor clearance and his half-volley was deflected into the bottom corner off a Springvale defender to open the scoring. Three minutes later a Joshua Simmons chip over a square back four was met by Mitch Hawkins who controlled with one touch before being fouled by Springvale keeper Dimassi Yahya. Waugh made no mistake with the ensuing penalty. Springvale should have narrowed the margin early in the second half when Jeremy Schwellinger brought down Eid Sarwari in the box but the visitors were denied by a great spotkick save from Hayden Hicks and the home side was able to protect its advantage. An undermanned Baxter defeated Chelsea 1-0 at Baxter Park on Saturday with a disciplined and committed

team performance. The pivotal moment came in the 21st minute when Baxter central defender Matt McDermott spun off his opponent inside the area then went to ground. The referee paused for a second then pointed to the spot and Luke Grant sent Chelsea keeper Rhys Davies the wrong way. Chelsea had chances to get back into the contest but Baxter defended well and keeper James Foster made three excellent one-on-one saves. Baxter substitute Daniel Fernandes replaced Grant in the 82nd minute and could have had a hat-trick as Chelsea was caught pressing for the equaliser. At Tyabb Central Reserve on Saturday Somerville Eagles lost 3-2 to Endeavour United. An Adam Steele own goal in the 2nd minute put the visitors ahead and a lunging challenge from behind by Steele in the 23rd minute resulted in an Endeavour United penalty which Cooper Andrews converted.

The Eagles again showed their fighting qualities in the second half and hit back in the 49th minute with an Ahmad Tabbara own goal following good work by Nasser Muhammad on the left. Eagles’ player-coach Dave Greening won a penalty in the 51st minute and scored from the spot to make it 2-2 but the match winner came from Matty Durand whose stunning top corner strike in the 80th minute gave Somerville keeper Nathan Brown no chance. In State 5 Rosebud claimed all three points with a late volley from substitute Cory Osorio on Saturday. The 1-0 win over Aspendale Stingrays took player-coach Mark Pagliarulo’s side into the top half of the table. Young Billy Gowans missed a 75th minute penalty but in the last minute a half-volley from Cal Richardson struck the bar and Osorio scored from the rebound. Nick Carter made his debut for the Stingrays. Meanwhile Chris Sanderson’s young Mount Martha outfit went down 5-0 to Casey Panthers at Civic Reserve last weekend. Eighteen-year-old goalkeeper Ryan Sharrock made his senior debut for the home team in difficult conditions while teenage midfielder Ethan Sanderson returned from an ankle injury sustained in the club’s last practice match. Here are this weekend’s round 4 fixtures: FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Frankston Pines v Whitehorse Utd (Carrum Downs Recreation Reserve), Chelsea v Keysborough (Edithvale Recreation Reserve). SATURDAY, 3pm: Langwarrin v Werribee City (Lawton Park), Mornington v Mazenod (Dallas Brooks Park), Skye Utd v Monbulk Rangers (Skye Recreation Reserve), Dingley Stars v Seaford Utd (Keeley Park), Endeavour Utd v Baxter (Reema Reserve), Hampton Park Utd v Mount Martha (KM Reedy Reserve), Endeavour Hills v Aspendale Stingrays (Power Reserve).

Miss Inbetween gets the chocolates on Easter Monday HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou MICHAEL Mehegan’s handy filly Miss Inbetween shot back into the winner’s circle on Monday 5 April with a strong win at Sandown. The three-year-old filly by Fighting Sun relished the drop back in grade after tackling two Group Three contests at her past three starts. Settling towards the rear of the field, Miss Inbetween showed plenty of fight to run down the up-and-coming Sirileo Miss in the closing stages of the 1400m event. Mornington-based trainer Michael Mehegan said it was great to see her back on track for her main targets after being unplaced this preperation. “We spoke about bringing her back to 1400m [after running over 1600m last start],” Mehegan said. “She just did a little bit wrong. We just wanted to make sure we got her right and then push onto [the VOBIS Sires].

“She had been running well. We just couldn’t get the job done so we brought her back in class and brought her back in distance and she was good enough to get the job done today.” Mehegan said its terrific to have a consistent filly like Miss Inbetween in his boutique stable as she continues to make her way through the grades. “She was a $25,000 buy at the Inglis Premier sales. She’s Group placed twice and she’s got the job done today so hopefully she takes a lot of confidence from it and she can keep improving,” he said post-race. Now rated 72, Miss Inbetween holds a record of two wins and six placings to her name from her 14 career starts. She has earnt just short of $230,000 in prize money. On the up: Michael Mehegan’s classy filly Miss Inbetween returns to the winner’s circle at Sandown on Easter Monday. Picture: Supplied Frankston Times
