Decision delayed on Cruden Farm Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A DECISION to push ahead with a residential subdivision in part of Langwarrin’s Cruden Farm has been delayed until later in the year. A planning application due to be discussed by Frankston councillors at August’s public council meeting on Monday 14 August was withdrawn by the trustees of the former homestead of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch. Frankston Council was set to deliberate on the contentious proposal to rezone parcels of land within the 54-hectare estate for residential development. State Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne would have to agree to move the Urban Growth Boundary to accommodate the building of more than 100 homes on about 15 hectares of land south of Cranbourne Rd and east of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. The idyllic 54-hectare estate was Dame Elisabeth Murdoch’s home for eight decades before her death in 2012 at the age of 103. Dame Elisabeth was the mother of News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch. The estate was transferred into the name of Cruden Custodian Limited in 2013 and its trustees include several grandchildren of Dame Elisabeth but not the media mogul himself. Its gardens are sometimes open to the public and the estate hosts community and charity events at the behest of Dame Elisabeth who was a renowned philanthropist. A report by consultancy firm Urbis, commissioned by the Cruden Farm trustees, has been obtained under freedom of information from Frankston Council by the Defenders of the South East Green Wedge. The group is opposed to the carve up of green wedge land for residential development. The Urbis report proposes opening up Cruden Farm as a “tourism gateway” for the Mornington
Peninsula and mentions the possibility of “third party private sector operators” using part of the grounds for “commercial uses” such as a cafe or art gallery while the rest of the property is operated on a “not for profit” basis. The report also suggests schools could visit Cruden Farm for horticulture education purposes. The Urbis report reveals: “Discussions with Frankston City Council have identified the potential for the Council’s indigenous plant nursery to be relocated to Cruden Farm, offering further learning opportunities in indigenous planting, bushland regeneration, and plant propagation.” Council’s indigenous nursery is currently located at McCulloch Avenue in Seaford. Defenders spokesman Barry Ross said the group is “not opposed to a lot of things suggested” but there is concern that “the gracious feel of Cruden Farm could be jeopardised”. “We think that the green wedge is sacred and shouldn’t be touched. There is a commitment to a permanent urban growth boundary,” Mr Ross said. “If the government approves this we’ll have a whole lot of other people on the boundary wanting their land rezoned as well. It will open up the floodgates.” It is understood the trustees withdrew the planning application for consideration at August’s council meeting to include more detail in the proposal. Mr Ross noted the Urbis report did not include any financial figures to justify the trustees’ assertions that proceeds from the sale of the land for homes construction are needed to keep the grounds of Dame Elisabeth’s former homestead open to the public for generations to come. “It doesn’t substantiate it from a financial point of view. We don’t know what kind of income they’re getting in now, we don’t know what their expenses are.” The planning application may now be submitted to council in November.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’m excited to be involved in this project and am looking forward to delivering great outcomes for our local community,” she said in a statement. “We will continue to work closely with local residents and businesses as we deliver this massive project.” A 900-metre long raised rail bridge will be built over McLeod Rd and level crossings at Station St, Eel Race Rd and Mascot Ave will be removed. Train stabling at Carrum will be moved to Kananook. Ten level crossings are being removed along the Frankston line from Cheltenham to Frankston as part of a state government project to separate road from rail at level crossings across Victoria. Construction works will mostly begin next year.

A PLAN to pump $50 million into Carrum as part of the separation of road and rail at Station St on the Frankston line was announced by the state government at the weekend. Premier Daniel Andrews visited Carrum on Sunday to unveil designs for a promenade to be built under elevated rail between McLeod Rd and Eel Race Rd alongside new “parkland and picnic places”. Five properties along the Nepean Highway will be compulsorily acquired by the Labor state government to build the promenade from the highway to the beach near a new train station at Carrum. “We’re getting on with revitalising Carrum – transforming this bayside
community into a modern, vibrant, well-connected suburb for everyone to enjoy,” Mr Andrews said in a statement. “This is a huge win for the local community. We’re not only getting rid of dangerous and congested level crossings – we’re creating new open space, parkland and picnic areas just a stone’s throw from the beach.” The Premier’s prediction of a win for the community is not shared by some residents who live near the Frankston line who are campaigning against any form of ‘sky rail’ in bayside suburbs. Labor MP Sonya Kilkenny won the marginal seat of Carrum by just 0.7 per cent at the 2014 state election. The next state election will be held in November next year. Ms Kilkenny stood alongside the Premier at Sunday’s announcement.

Ram-ing it home: The Rex Australis sculpture on Peninsula Link is heading back to the McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park in Langwarrin. Picture: Gary Sissons
Rex makes gallery new home REX Australis – the giant ram’s head which has graced Peninsula Link near the Skye Rd exit for the past four years – is settling in at its new home: McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park, Langwarrin. The cast-iron sculpture by Dean Colls is 14 metres long, seven metres high and six metres deep. It will feature near another sculptured favourite: the Tree of Life, by artist
Phil Price, which was replaced at the Cranbourne Rd exit by Reflective Lullaby – colloquially known as the Giant Gnome, by Gregor Kregar. Fittingly, the intersections at which the sculptures attracted motorists’ attention are the exits for the gallery and park. The sculptures are the result of a partnership between the gallery and Southern Way, which was formed to
manage the selection and installation of 14 artworks along Peninsula Link, which opened in January 2013. Gallery staffers are tight-lipped over what is replacing Rex but it’s sure to be as eye-catching, curator Simon Lawrie said. The gallery is at 390 McClelland Drive, Langwarrin. Stephen Taylor
A FIRE in a disused house in Davey St, Frankston, was “definitely suspicious”, police said last week. It is believed clothing worn by squatters was piled up near the front door of the two-storey brick veneer and set on fire, 4.30pm, Sunday 6 August. The property is slated for development with a photograph advertising new apartments out front showing the facade as part of the new building. It used to be the office of Nepean Hearing. It is possible the blaze might lead to the old building being pulled down.
Caravan destroyed
A CARAVAN at the Mornington Gardens Holiday Village, Bungower Rd, was destroyed by fire on Sunday 6 August. Park owner Cory Smith said a faulty refrigerator was the cause. “It was making a lot of noise beforehand and ended up catching on fire,” he said. A man living in the caravan for many years was uninjured, Mr Smith said. He was found alternative accommodation at the park, which has been operating for the past 39 years. It has 170 caravans.
A HOLDEN utility was set alight in Langwarrin, 5.25pm, Thursday 3 August. The blaze, in the rear section, destroyed the VF ute and set fire to 60 square metres of grassland. Three CFA units attended the fire 800 metres from Hafey St. A four-wheel-drive town truck got bogged when attempting to tow the car out. A stolen Subaru was “torched” on a dirt road near the intersection of Taylors and Wedge roads, Skye, 10.20pm, Tuesday 8 August. Police said an accelerant was used to fuel the fire on the Impressa, which had been stolen from Rye the day before. CFA crews extinguished the fire but the car was destroyed. They also extinguished a fire in the jerry can used to douse the car with petrol.
Tree mishap
A COUNCIL worker suffered a suspected broken ankle when a tree fell on him at Langwarrin, 10.45am, Monday 7 August. The man, 47, was removing old trees at Northgateway Reserve when a bough fell on him. A co-worker helped free the man who was taken to Frankston Hospital for treatment.

of more than 350kph, are flown over 10 laps around a 400-metre pylon course. Three pilots at the same time compete against the clock aiming to finish in less than 60 seconds. Daniel averaged 59.44 seconds for the event which also gave him ninth overall in the open division. Forty-five pilots from 17 countries and four continents competed with Australia’s senior best performer, Beau Murphy, finishing seventh outright. On returning home, Daniel was presented with a life membership of the Western Port club for his achievements – an honour for a 16-year-old, Mr Arapakis said. Australia will host the next world championships in Queensland in 2019. “Our pilots are regarded as the best in the world for their skills, teamwork, support – and having fun,” Mr Arapakis said.

EPA probe into creek fuel spill which appear to have been largely unaffected. No known human health impacts were noted but a strong smell of fuel was present in the immediate area.” Mr Rees said preventative measures remained in place in Olivers Creek under EPA advice and the clean-up was “well advanced”, Friday. He said United Petroleum was “fully cooperating with the EPA”. “Investigations are ongoing into how the spill occurred and the results of that investigation will determine what actions are appropriate,” he said. Port of Hastings CEO Malcolm Geier said after seeing the size and nature of the spill “it was determined that no recovery action was necessary in the bay.”

Heroes drop in on hospital A DARK knight, a wallcrawler and a man of steel visited Frankston Hospital last week in a superhero effort to bring some joy into the day of sick and injured children. Elisabeth Murdoch College stu-
dents Ben Twaites, Christian Larizza and Sebastian Beale visited the emergency department and the children and adolescent ward at Frankston Hospital last Monday (7 August) dressed as Batman, Spider-Man and
Superman respectively. The year 12 students decided to visit the hospital since “it would be fun and rewarding” according to VCAL team leader Laura Higgins.
UP to 200 litres of diesel fuel spilled from the United Terminals’ Hastings depot into Olivers Creek last week from what is believed to be a damaged pipe flange. Earlier, it was reported that 100-1000 litres had escaped from the Barclay Crescent site before the leak was stopped about 1pm on Monday 31 July. United’s COO David Szymczak said the seepage was mostly contained in bunds – protective earth or concrete walls - designed to trap fuel overflows. “All our tanks are in bunded areas but, on this occasion, a small amount – in the 200-litre category – seeped out into an unbunded area,” Mr Szymczak said. The company “called in the experts and emergency services” to help contain the spill – the first at the site since the company took over in 2008. Environment Protection Authority Victoria senior media advisor John Rees said officers found that a “significant volume” of lost fuel was captured by interceptor drains and a trap. A small, unknown amount had flowed into Olivers Creek. “EPA officers observed a clean-up process had taken place, which originally was aimed at protecting the nearby mangroves with booms and surface water removal,” he said. “Significant work has been undertaken to protect the adjacent mangroves,

Avoid the shallows
RECREATIONAL boat operators should take care not to run aground in shallows at the entrance of Patterson River after unseasonal conditions increased natural sand movements. Parks Victoria has warned vessel operators to “navigate with extreme caution” and check water depths, weather and tides before setting out on the water. “The latest survey has indicated water depths at the entrance of Patterson River have reduced significantly in a short period of time due to recent conditions in Port Phillip,” Parks Victoria acting regional director Victor Teoh said. “Some areas of the entrance have registered depths as low as -0.7m (chart datum).” A dredge vessel, currently working at Portarlington, will make its way to Patterson River to dredge more sand at the river mouth soon.

Cricket tours can take family toll Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au KATHRYN Whatmore knows all about the pressures felt by the wives and girlfriends of professionals cricketers – especially when their partners are on tour. “There’s a lot more expected of cricketers these days as they are full time and there is so much travel involved,” the wife of former Test cricketer and now international coach Dav (Davenell) Whatmore, said on Monday from their home in Bittern. “There are many more competitions now; people don’t realise how difficult it is for wives to have their men so far from home and away from their young families.” Players are required to arrive overseas a couple of weeks before the start of a series, meaning a six-week tour is really a nine-week tour. “It’s incredible that some marriages even keep going. The wives are the ones who bring up the children.” Dav Whatmore, 63, is an international cricket coach, now in India, who started his career in Australia where he played seven Tests as a right-hand batsman and slips fieldsman, before retiring in 1989. He attended Mentone Grammar School. Whatmore coached Sri Lanka (where he was born) to a famous World Cup win in 1996, then led Bangladesh to its first ever Test win, followed by coaching stints in India, Zimbabwe and Pakistan. He coached the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League and recently signed with Chennai-based Sri Ramachandra University to head the Whatmore Centre for Cricket, as well as coach the Kerala Cricket Association. Ms Whatmore said Tina Walker, first wife of former Test legend Max Walker who died last year, and Helen Yallop – wife of former captain Graham Yallop – helped lay down informal

guidelines and customs to assist the younger wives and girlfriends fit in and feel comfortable while on tour. “The new wives started to be better looked after and, as they say, ‘happy wife, happy life’,” she said. Ms Whatmore remembers settling at Bittern after selling the family home in Carnegie a decade ago. “I’d always loved the Mornington Peninsula but was looking at the Port Phillip side. Someone suggested we look around Western Port and we loved it. “We were in Sri Lanka when I asked my daughter to take a look at a house for sale at Bittern and she said: ‘That’s the one for you, mum’. So we sold the family home and moved down here and have loved it ever since.
“People don’t realise how fortunate we are to live in Australia, she said. “I hear people complain, but we live in such a beautiful part of the world.” A constant in their married life is that Whatmore has travelled continually, both as a player and coach. “He’s been home once this year but won’t be home again until next year,” she said. “We’ve been married 36 years and I am incredibly proud of him. He is very fit and has no plans to retire. He’s terrific in the way he just gets on with it. “People think he is strict and serious but he can also play jokes. He’s a wonderful manmanager who puts himself last and has great integrity.”

Hospital opens for business RECOGNISING the growing need for dedicated healthcare services in Melbourne’s southern and peninsula communities, Healthscope has developed Frankston Private Hospital to better enable patient access to local private care. Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt and Healthscope chair Paula Dwyer officially opened the state-of-the-art facility last Monday (7 August). The hospital, acquired by Healthscope in 2014, was previously two separate, day procedure focused, healthcare facilities. “Our vision for Frankston Private Hospital was to create a state-of-the-art, dedicated private acute healthcare facility that can grow with the increasing demand placed on local healthcare services,” Ms Dwyer said. Frankston Private Hospital comprises 101 overnight and day patient-beds as well as five
operating theatres and a state-of-the-art day infusion and oncology centre. Frankston Private Hospital provides a range of specialist services including orthopaedics, urology, general surgery and endoscopy, gynaecology, ophthalmology, minor plastics, oral maxillofacial and dental surgery along with oncology, medical and pain management. Mr Hunt said the new hospital would provide quality care to patients in the south east region. “The hospital is well-placed to provide an exceptional health service to meet the healthcare needs of local residents,” he said. “Frankston Private will form part of the Frankston Health and Education Precinct, which incorporates Frankston Public Hospital and Monash University and provides vital training to our future doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals.”

LIFESEARCH 2017 gives citizen scientists the opportunity to discover the plants, birds, insects, and other animals in the Western Port Biosphere Reserve. Lifesearch, the biosphere’s annual citizen science event for schools, individuals, families and community groups, runs throughout September to coincide with Biodiversity Month. All Lifesearch participants can make a contribution to the understanding of life in the Western Port Biosphere, as well as to the national Atlas of Living Australia database. There are prizes for the school, individual and team or group that record the most sightings during Lifesearch. Prizes include a family pass to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, a pass to Phillip Island nature parks, and a subscription to Australian Geographic magazine. Lifesearch sightings can be made in backyards, reserves and parks, beaches and school grounds within Frankston and Mornington Peninsula, on French island and in, on or over the waters of Western Port. Observation data is uploaded to the Atlas of Living Australia database. Lifesearch is inspired by 13-year-old Harewood Lyall, who lived at Harewood Homestead, Tooradin in the early 1900s. In 1912 he recorded his bird-watching observations in a notebook, which inspired the annual Western Port Biosphere Birdsearch event, first held in 2012. Perseverance Primary School on French Island currently holds the Shield. For information and t register fir this year’s Lifesearch go to biosphere.org.au/ get-involved/lifesearch.

AGL chooses Crib Point for gas terminal Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au ENERGY supplier AGL confirmed last week that it wants to have a floating gas terminal at Crib Point. The company says the Western Port site will “increase energy security and supply for customers in south eastern Australia”. If given the go ahead by the state government, AGL says it will “invest roughly $250 million” and begin construction in 2019 with a view to bringing the terminal online within the following two years. The government issued a statement on Thursday saying it “welcomed AGL’s decision … [and is] working closely with AGL to ensure approvals processes are streamlined to avoid unnecessary delays”. It said the project would create 40 permanent jobs “and many more during the construction phase”. The floating terminal plan also fits with the government’s decision not to back a container terminal at Hastings - it favours Bay West, north of Geelong in Port Phillip - but to encourage the Port of Hastings to be used as a “bulk port”. “Crib Point is best placed to serve Victoria, Australia’s largest gas market, as well as take advantage of the existing pipeline network, industrial port facility and associated infrastructure,” the company stated in a new release from AGL’s wholesale markets executive general manager Richard Wrightson. “This doesn’t signal the end of the feasibility studies for the proposed site but now accelerates the process,” Mr Wrightson said.

“We look forward to ongoing consultation with the local community to answer their questions and proceed towards a formal application to the Victorian government. “This project will enable access to the world market for gas, injecting some much-needed competition into the Australian market and help ease the tight gas supply.” Mr Wrightson AGL is looking at “how best to modernise and decarbonise the energy system … as Australia transitions
to a carbon constrained future”. “Our strong balance sheet allows us to take a long-term view and invest our profits into renewable energy and strategic projects such as the gas import jetty and pipeline which will help underpin a more secure energy supply for Australia and has the potential, if required, to supply all of Victoria’s household and business customer gas needs,” he said. “As the largest generator of electricity in the country, we’re working hard to deliver secure, reliable and affordable en-
ergy and increase competition in the east Australian gas market for domestic and industrial customers.” AGL’s decision to develop Crib Point comes as it announced a sharp turnaround in profits for the year to 30 June, with a net profit of $539 compared with a $408 million loss last year. AGL has predicted an underlying profit of $940 million-$1.04 billion in the coming year. As previously reported in The Times, (“Western Port suitable for gas ships”)
AGL’s plan could see gas tankers of up to 290 metres long gas being used to bring liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the floating terminal at Crib Point. Former Port of Hastings harbourmaster Captain Dick Cox said ship to ship transfers had previously been conducted safely at Crib Point and there may be no need for having fire tugs “on immediate availability … providing there is adequate fire control systems available on the jetty to international standard”. Western Port was one of three sites being investigated by AGL for its import terminal for LNG from Australia and overseas. The proposal to import LNG has highlighted government tax policies which make it cheaper for gas to be imported, even though Australia is one of the world’s two largest exporters. “The fact remains that Australia is exporting two-thirds of its gas overseas. [Prime Minister] Malcolm Turnbull needs to put a cap on exports to provide immediate relief on prices,” the Premier Daniel Andrews said on Thursday. Capt Cox said the gas tankers were one of “the safest and cleanest types of ships in the world”. “Their fuel is the boil off from the cargo – [which means] no risk of damage to mangroves or seagrass from oil spills - which is kept liquid at minus 160 degrees Celsius - it has to be warmed before it can be put into the local grid which is the job of the permanently moored vessel, which, hopefully will be tied up at Crib Point No.2 Jetty,” he said.

Triggers’ escape a Dimension dilemma FLEDGLING surfboard makers Paul and Phil Trigger thought they had a great idea when it came to naming and identifying their surfboards: “Let’s start with the First Dimension”. This was in the late 1960s when they were shaping boards in a lane at the back of their parents’ house in Bonbeach. By the time they were getting close to the Eighth Dimension they realised there was a need for a simpler numbering system. “What’s going to happen when we got to the 125th or 150th?” Paul Trigger remembers asking his brother. Instead of deciding to start with the number one, they decided against numbering their boards altogether, and that’s the way it’s been ever since. A couple of weeks ago the Triggers – who have shops at Point Leo and Frankston - received a call from Western Australia by someone offering one of the early “Dimension” boards. Paul trigger remembers taking it on a weekend's surf at Wilsons Promontory and quickly deciding “I didn’t like it”. He’s not sure if it’s the Third or Fifth Dimension, but it was built about the same time the American pop group The Fifth Dimension changed its name from The Versatiles. The group’s most memorable hit was “Up, up and away”, theme song for a nowdefunct Australian airline. You’ve got to wonder, and marvel, at how those US musicians heard about (and were inspired by) the Triggers’ Dimension numbering system. And while the musicians kept the name, the Triggers went back to just
building boards. Something they’ve been doing for the past half a century, with no end in sight. Paul Trigger says their older boards keep popping up. In the 1960s the surf industry was in its infancy and getting raw materials was not always easy. The fibreglass cloth with resin to coat a shaped foam blank was heavy and coarse. Putting their Trigger Bros brand on the board required using Letraset, a plastic lettering system that involved rubbing the paper-backed letters straight onto the surfboard blank. The Triggers chose and old English font which had previously been used by their father and an uncle on their “Trigger Brothers” grocery shop in Hesse St, Queenscliff. While the branding changed over the years, the brothers have now reverted to that old typography. And the boards? Well they have progressed from those early Dimensions, keeping pace with the trends to multi-fins and lighter materials. But the enthusiasm for coming up with the right shape and finish has not waned, as is shown whenever a new board is placed in the racks at their shops or, if custom built, handed over to its new owner. There’s anticipation and an appreciation by looking at its lines of how the board will perform in the surf. Keith Platt Board talk: Paul Trigger with one of the first boards he made with his brother Phil in the late 1960s - a board that helped take them out of their Dimension era.

LAND off Besgrove St, Rosebud is now earmarked for an aquatic centre. Picture: Yanni
location for the proposed pool, featuring relatively flat land, ample space for car parking, relatively straightforward planning controls, and existing public use zoning,” she said. The siting of an indoor-outdoor aquatic centre has been a drawn-out process: In 1999 the shire commissioned a feasibility study for an indoor centre and, in 2000, adopted a recommendation to deliver a phased aquatic centre program for Hastings, Rosebud and Mornington. The Pelican Park Recreation Centre,
Hastings opened in 2003 and has continued to operate at a loss ever since. Council spent about $5.1 million on existing buildings and land for an aquatic centre in Wannaeue Place, Rosebud, in September 2012 after it became clear the state government would not approve a site on Rosebud foreshore for what was then known as the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre, or SPA. The report by David Hampton, team leader – buildings and open space project management,
There will be a cafe, disability access, access ramps to the main pools, learn-to-swim pool and warm water program pool, wheelchair access to the spa within the warm water program pool, and family change rooms with disability or special needs facilities. All pool decks will be on the same level avoiding the need for lifts. “The concepts cater for our local residents, such as offering learn-toswim facilities to help all students to develop great swimming skills,” Cr Colomb said. “The shire has a higher than state average portion of older people living on the southern peninsula. The warm water program pool will provide a health and wellbeing resource for our older residents.” Cr Colomb said the “development and consideration of the options available for an aquatic centre in Rosebud remains a priority of council”. She agreed the siting of the proposed pool has “been of significant interest to our community, and we are determined to continue advancing the progress”. The business case will lead to a report establishing costs, propose options, and “demonstrate whether the project is affordable and represents a value for money investment for council”, the shire said. It will also assess a project timeframe. The report is to be brought back to a council meeting by the end of December. With Keith Platt

LAND near the Mornington Peninsula Shire offices in Besgrove St has surfaced as the preferred option for an aquatic centre at Rosebud. The cost of the aquatic centre is estimated at $28.4 million-$30.7 million, depending on it having a 25-metre or 50-metre inside or outside pool. The council last week voted to spend $20,000 on a business plan for the site which is expected to be completed before its December meeting. A report to council’s 8 August meeting warned that the centre was likely to lose 800,000 to $1.075m a year, although these “may potentially be reduced” by $200,000 if a 600 square metre gym was added to the complex. The cost of including a gym was not included in the report. An extra $2m might be needed for traffic lights at the intersection of Boneo Rd and Besgrove St. In the years the shire has spent debating about where - or even if - to build an aquatic centre, Frankston Council built its award-winning Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC), opened in September 2014. The mayor Cr Bev Colomb last week said deciding on the Besgrove St site would “assist in speeding up the development of a facility in Rosebud … and enable council-owned land in Wannaeue Place to be available for other development options”. “Besgrove St is a strongly suitable
to councillors last week estimated it would cost $10.3m for a basement car park if the aquatic centre was built in Wannaeue Place. Basically, the report conclusively says Wannaeue Place is unsuitable for an aquatic centre. However, continuing public support for a new pool was shown at the March 2017 council meeting when supporters asked a slew of questions as to why one had not already been built. Long time pool campaigner Betty Preston said she was “very pleased” with the decision to investigate the Besgrove St site. “However, the recommendations still have to be voted on and community consultation has to take place”, she said. “Still, considering how fast council has acted, particularly over the past few months, it is very encouraging. “The community support through petitions, press and the local radio station, has been overwhelming.” The business plan will include options for a 25-metre indoor pool, 50-metre indoor pool and a 50-metre outdoor pool, as well as health, fitness and wellbeing facilities. These will cater for pool programs, training, school competitions, education, health and fitness and special events. Other features will include multipurpose rooms for health and fitness classes, wellness centre featuring consulting, steam and sauna rooms catering for specialist services, such as massage and physiotherapy, relaxation, older adults and sports recovery.

NEWS DESK Amnesty for guns,weapons AN amnesty which runs until September aims to take illegal guns, ammunition and other weapons out of harms way. Gun owners have three months to surrender unregistered and unwanted firearms, ammunition and weapons, to licensed firearms dealers – not the police – without fear of prosecution. Police Superintendent Paul Millett said the amnesty was well timed. “It has been more than 20 years since there was a national amnesty and almost five since the last amnesty in Victoria when about 2500 weapons and firearms were handed in,” Supt Millett said. “We want the community to help keep everyone safe by reducing the availability of unregistered firearms and illegal weapons to those who clearly do not want them for lawful purposes.” In previous amnesties firearms, including imitation and antique guns and rifles, swords, homemade weapons and hunting knives, were surrendered. Unwanted or unregistered firearms, ammunition or weapons can be surrendered to licensed firearms dealers without fear of prosecution. Licenced gun owners may surrender guns for destruction, registration or sale, while those not licensed can surrender them for destruction. They will not have to give their details unless they intend to register or sell them. Details: firearmsamnesty.ag.gov. au or police.vic.gov.au
‘Engagement’ has benefits for all By Bob Simpson*
I SAT at last Wednesday’s Peninsula Voice event, hearing Les Twentyman’s experiences. This man “loves” disengaged young people with whom he engages. Could I genuinely “love” five homeless kids, causing trouble by sleeping in a council tip? That idea of a village raising a child constantly surfaced. MC Roberta Orton raised the ante – this is about disengaged children gaining an enduring sense of identity, meaning and purpose, connection, and belonging in our common world. My highlight was the “thanks” given by Cr Sam Hearn. He applauded Les Twentyman’s well-earned reputation; but thanked him for not coming to the peninsula as a hero to
be applauded. Twentyman came as an example: to us all. I see now it takes more than words to make a difference. We must exemplify Twentyman’s style of “love” to troublesome kids. We can do this. Some already are. Before and after the event (held to launch Twentyman’s book, The Mouth that Roared), I listened to representatives of service organisations. An older woman asked a young woman from Mornington Peninsula Shire’s youth services department whether they encouraged older people to engage with their clients. Interesting conversation. The young woman lit up as she mentioned Kids Hope to the older woman. Apparently, older people mentor disengaged children in
Life lessons: At the Les Twentyman book launch are John Sharpe, Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Bev Colomb, Les Twentyman, shire CEO Carl Cowie and Peter Orton. Left, Cr Sam Hearn spoke at the book launch. Picture: Graham
primary schools. A woman commissioner of the Scouts told me they had a 10 per cent increase in recruits on the peninsula, over the past year. I wonder how many more parents became involved? And, I wonder how they gain from their experience? Twentyman talks about people who are compassionate entrepreneurs. Some support him, hugely. They saw his impact; they checked him out;
their support flowed when he earned trust; quietly and unobtrusively. Entrepreneurs who have compassion for people; we need them. In The Mouth that Roared, Twentyman writes, “human beings have an inbuilt appetite for passionate commitment”. Therefore, if we need people to exemplify what’s ultimately important, we need to encourage more and more villagers to let their passion flow. This conversation raised a big question. When those five homeless kids find themselves fully engaged in our village, who ultimately gains? It must be the whole village. You, me and engaged young people being together. * Bob Simpson is a member of Peninsula Voice, the not-for-profit group of volunteers which organised the event.

Tax Time 2017 off to a flying start With lodgments up, complaints down and strong systems performance, the ATO is on track for another record-breaking year just five weeks into tax time. Tax Commissioner Chris Jordan said the ATO had worked extremely hard over the past few years to deliver a system which made completing your tax return as quick and painless as possible. “We understand that for the vast majority of Australians tax time is their only interaction with us each year, so delivering a seamless and straightforward service is paramount for us,” Mr Jordan said. “It’s pleasing to see that over four million returns have already been lodged successfully, which is an increase of around 350,000 returns compared with the same time last year. This includes over 2.5 million returns lodged through tax agents, which is an increase of 72,000 compared to this time last year.
“We’ve also issued nearly three million refunds worth a combined $6.8 billion, which is well up on last year. Most returns are processed well within our 12-day service standard, which means money going back into the community faster.” Mr Jordan acknowledged that the ATO had been under pressure to ensure its systems would hold up over the busy tax time period. “After the systems issues we experienced in December last year and in February this year, we knew we had a lot of work to do to restore community confidence,” Mr Jordan said. “Our people worked around the clock to ensure our systems were ready to cope with the surge of returns from 1 July – and the hard work has paid off. “Overall our systems are performing strongly, better than they were last year. We’re also receiving fewer complaints – nearly 30 per cent less than at the same time last year.”
Mr Jordan said myTax, the ATO’s streamlined lodgment tool, was more popular than ever. “Last year we saw three million people lodge their own return through myTax, which was a record at the time. I’m confident we’ll smash this record in 2017, with more than 1.6 million people already lodging through myTax,” Mr Jordan said. “If you’re using myTax, chances are most of your information will be pre-filled, you’ll have your return done in half an hour and a refund in your bank account in a week. These are just some of the reasons why it has a 93 per cent satisfaction rate with users. “And if you do need to call us for assistance, 85 per cent of calls are answered within our service standard of five minutes, with the average wait time being just over two minutes. “Ninety-two per cent of tax agent calls are answered within two minutes.”

FOR Hearing Awareness Week Nepean Hearing is offering free hearing tests and rating your Hearing for Your Age (for the over 40’s). Hearing Awareness Week is Sunday 20th -26th August. The number of Australians who are hearing impaired is increasing because of • the Ageing Population –we are living longer • excessive Noise - in the workplace and high level music Hearing loss is often described as the ‘invisible disability’. People often wait for 5-10 years before they seek help. Hearing loss may also be a contributing factor in the speed of onset of dementia. The degree of loss is also correlated to the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. It is important to know about your hearing. Many people ignore the signs of hearing loss, which include turning the TV or stereo up so loud that others complain, frequently needing to ask others to repeat themselves and not being able to hear properly on the telephone. Constant ringing is also another warning sign of hearing loss. As technology advances, many people with hearing loss benefit from hearing aids. These innovations have made a positive difference in the way they can communicate and enjoy their lives.
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Young woman hit by car and killed in Mornington Compiled by Cameron McCullough A FATAL motor accident occurred at Mornington on Wednesday afternoon, (says the “Age”.) As Mr Albert Dawson, of Two Bay’s Nursery was crossing the street with his sister, Elsie ( Mabe) Dawson, a motor Car, driven an ordinary pace by Mr George Weigall, came round a corner, and before they could get clear it struck Miss Dawson to the ground, passing over her body. Mr Weigall who had observed them too late to prevent a collision, immediately pulled up the car. Miss Dawson, who was unconscious, and suffering from internal injuries, was conveyed to her home where she was attended by Dr Bird. The case was pronounced hopeless. Death occurred at 10 o’clock. Miss Dawson was 22 years of age. The funeral took place at Mornington on Thursday. *** THE “Australian.” Club will hold a dance in the Mechanics’ Hall this evening, to which all are welcome. *** MESSRS Adamson Strettle will hold their usual sale at Tanti, on Monday next for which good entries are advertised. *** THE infant son of Mr and Mrs J. Williams, of Frankston, is in hospital, very seriously ill. *** CR Oates invites the ratepayers of the North Riding of the Shire to attend a meeting at the Frankston Mechanics’, on Wednesday evening next, to hear him give an account of his stewardship during the last six years, as their repre-
sentative at the Council table. *** IN the course of an article on the treatment of pastures for the prevention of cripples, etc., in cattle in the Victorian Journal of Agriculture for the present month there is an interesting account by one of the Government Dairy Inspectors of a visit to the farms of the Misses Baxter at Mt Eliza and of Messrs Grindal and Jones of Moorooduc. *** THE Belgian cushion which was raffled by Miss Martindale has realized the sum of £2 3s for the Lady Mayoress’ Patriotic League. Mrs Scott, of Port Melbourne, is the winner of the cushion, holding ticket No 121. Miss Martindale is very grateful for the help she received from her Frankston friends. *** THE Pageant of Loyalty which was to have taken place in Frankston on Saturday last, and had to be postponed for the second time, on account of very wet weather, is to take place on Saturday, September 1st, and promises to be even a greater success than was ever anticipated. Larger committees have been formed and everybody is setting about their work in a manner which can only mean success. All bodies who expected, and had promised to take part in the proceedings, will look upon September 1st as a settled date, and one which will long be remembered. A grand concert is arranged to take place in the evening. *** AS a great number of people had hired
fancy costumes, to take part in the procession, and were unable to wear them on account of the wet day, a fancy dress dance was held on Saturday night, and many fine costumes were worn. Eighteen pence and one shilling was the price of admission, and over ten pounds was taken at the door, which will go towards paying the Pageant of Loyalty expenses. The “Wattle” Club gave the refreshments, having provided more than was necessary for the soldiers in the afternoon. Dancing was indulged in till twelve o’clock to music supplied by Mr Brierley, and a very happy evening was spent. *** Frankston Court of Petty Sessions. Monday August 13th, 1917. (Before Mr Cohen. P.M. and Messrs Williams, Oates, Crawford Grant, Murray and McLean Js.P.) CRUELTY TO A HORSE. F. C Ryan, Constable of police v Peter Nicotingo.Mr Cook appeared for the complainant. F. V. Taylor deposed that he was a motor garage a proprietor residing at Frankston. Remembered Friday 27th July. Saw accused on that day bring his horse into the yard of the Pier Hotel, and put it in the stable. The horse was in very poor condition. Accused made no provision for feeding the horse. Accused never rang witness up asking him to feed or water the animal. A. Evens deposed that he saw accused put the horse in the stable and corroborated the evidence of the former witness. The saddle and bridle were left on
the horse. Const Ryan deposed that he visited the Pier Hotel stables on 28th July, and saw a grey horse in a very emaciated condition. It was tied up with the bridle on and the bit in its mouth. He saw no sign of water or feed. On the Sunday following, the defendant went to him about the horse. He acknowledged that he had not left any instructions, with regard to feeding or watering the horse. For the defence accused said he was called hurridly to Melbourne on account of his mother’s illness and when he did not return the same evening he telephoned to Taylor the next duty to look after the horse. The Bench held the accused guilty, but on account of him being a pensioner and in ill health they would let him off with a fine of 20s in default 7 days imprisonment with 21s coats. USING UTTERANCES PREJUDICIAL TO RECRUITING Chas A. Tait appeared to answer the above charge. Mr Williams, instructed by an officer of the Crown Law Department appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Sunniberg for the defence. In outlining the case Mr Williams said the words were spoken by accused at a dinner given at the Pier Hotel on the evening of the 29th June when during an interval a lady asked the chairman’s permission to say a few words in favor of recruiting. Permission was given, and it was whilst the lady was speaking that the accused rose and said he objected to anyone speaking in favor, of recruiting and any woman who persuaded a man
to enlist, and that man was killed, was a murderess, and if a man did so he was a murderer. The accused was asked to retire from the room but refused to do so, when he was escorted to the door by two returned soldiers, he retired. Jas Grice, sworn, deposed that he remembered the evening of 29th June. Was chairman at dinner given at Pier Hotel on that evening. He gave permission for Mrs Heymenson to address those assembled. Accused objected to the lady speaking, and said she was as bad as a murderess. He was asked to withdraw his statement but he said he would not. He was then asked to leave the room and when he refused Messrs Taylor and Dial escorted him to the door. He was not the worse for drink. Messrs Taylor, Young, Brody and Mrs Heymenson corroborated the evidence of Mr Grice. Const Ryan said that he saw accused on the 8th July last when he handed the constable a written statement (which was read in court.) In the statement the accused said his mind was a blank to all that had occurred after he entered the supper room that evening, and he had no recollection of anything that had occurred, He must have been out of his mind at the time, and was very sorry for what he had said. He was a loyal subject and subscribed liberally to patriotic funds. The Bench considered the offence proved and the accused was fined £25 with £7 7s costs. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 18 August 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
Fist Bump Your Way to Glory By Stuart McCullough IT’S weird, when you think about it. In fact, if you give it any more than a moment’s thought, it’s downright bizarre. The idea of greeting someone by offering your hand to them so that they might place their palm against yours while a pair of conjoined knuckles bump up and down – it’s a ritual from another age. For starters, it’s desperately unhygienic. Not to mention the fact that some people – try as they might – just can’t do it properly. Too soft and it’s a sign of weakness. Too rough and people will either think your unhinged or President Trump; if, indeed, those two things are in fact different. The origins of the handshake go right back to at least the fifth century BC, probably right after the first ever tennis match. It’s believed that the ritual developed as a gesture of peace, a way of demonstrating that you were unarmed. Notwithstanding the irony of proving that you’re unarmed by offering your hand, a custom developed and has been with us ever since. Frankly, it’s unnecessary. I shouldn’t have to prove to you that I am not packing heat. That much should be assumed. And it’s strange that something that’s meant to be a friendly gesture could, in fact, be passing on scabies. There are different types of handshakes. The scouting movement prefers to shake with the left hand, catching the unwitting off their guard. Doubtless, the reverse handshake owes much to the scouting motto – ‘Be Prepared’. If you’re ready when someone thrusts his greasy southpaw in your direction, you’re pretty much ready for anything. Freemasons (apparently) have a secret handshake. There’s also the ‘double hander’ in which you use your free left hand to grip the recipient’s forearm. It’s either a gesture of intimacy or preparation for a judo throw. The world’s record for the longest handshake was set in 2008. Clocking in at nine hours and thirty minutes, Kevin Whittaker and Cory Jens
entered the handshake hall of fame. I’m not sure how you’d go about congratulating someone for an achievement of that nature. Normally, you’d shake hands, but that seems like overkill in this instance. Clearly, though, this was a record that was highly coveted and it was broken the following year by Jack Tsonis and Lindsay Morrison who shook hands for a staggering twelve hours and thirty four minutes. I can only hope they’re still on speaking terms. Sadly, there was barely time to bask in the afterglow of their achievement before their record was smashed the following week by Matthew Rosen and Joe Ackerman who took it north of fif-
teen hours and presumably had nothing better to do. In January 2011, the record book was rewritten with four people sharing the honours. Alistair Galpin, Don Purdon and brothers, Rohish and Santosh Timilsina succeeded in shaking hands for thirty three hours and three minutes. That’s more than a day. I’m not sure what the mechanics of a handshake like that must be or how they navigate the call of nature, but I suspect there would be moments when a handshake of such dimensions would be confronting. It’s obvious that we’ve taken the handshake just about as far as it can go. It’s time we moved on to something that’s ‘next level’.
Say a big ‘hello’ to the fist bump. In stark contrast to the handshake, there’s little in the way of contact and, therefore, a lot less bacteria. But it’s got so much more than its hygienic superiority in its favour. The handshake has its origins in proving you don’t have a weapon. It’s practically a gesture of surrender. The fist bump, however, comes to us from the sport of boxing. It’s a sign of respect. A handshake is just a handshake. But a fist bump has lots of other incredibly cool names, like the ‘power five’, ‘PIB’ (which stands for ‘pound it bro’) and, my personal favourite, ‘pibbys’. More than that, a fist bump was how the Wonder Twins transformed themselves into some other object. Barely an episode of ‘Super Friends’ passed by without Zan and Jayna performing an alien fist bump and declaring ‘Wonder Twin powers – activate!’ You don’t get superpowers with a handshake. Not ever. Sweaty palms? No problem. With a power five, no one need ever know. Concerned that your handshake will betray you as never having done a day’s manual labour in your life? Well fear no more. The fist bump has you well and truly covered. Fit for any occasion, it’s truly a greeting for the twenty first century. So don’t be shy. Whether you’re being interviewed for a big new job or congratulating the parish priest after the Sunday ceremony, give the fist bump a whirl. And if the person you’re trying to greet looks confused at your attempt to give a power five, don’t despair. You’ll be able to comfort yourself that your proposed greeting has just a fraction of the germs as well as being the salutation of choice of many of world’s most talented sports people. As for me, I’m not sure I ever really mastered the handshake. So if you see me down the street, don’t be offended if I decline to shake your hand. Just offer me pibbys and we’ll be fine. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Frankston Times 14 August 2017

IN CONCERT A nostalgic evening with Isla... Accompanied by AL GRANT & GLEN FLYNN
Featuring her new album
I’m A Survivor
TUE 19 SEP | ARTS CENTRE thefac.com.au (03) 9784 1060 GRAND-CONCERTS.COM
SCOTTISH SINGER-SONGWRITER ISLA GRANT HITS FRANKSTON Following her 2015 triumphant sell-out concert performances, Scotland’s legendary singer-songwriter ISLA GRANT returns to Australia with exciting new songs from her latest album release “I’m A Survivor” - plus her extensive repertoire of most loved music. The ever-popular singer will be touring with her equally talented husband AL GRANT and singer and multi-instrumentalist GLEN FLYNN. As an Internationally acclaimed recording artist ISLA GRANT’s distinctive voice encompasses all genres from country folk songs to easy listening compliments an evening of old favourites to new songs - this has established her as a major recording artist in the USA, Canada, U.K, Australia and New Zealand. The Triple-Platinum Recording singer-songwriter ISLA GRANT in Concert promises to be an unmissable event. ISLA GRANT hails from Scotland and a household name in Ireland and has developed a large following here in Australia and New Zealand. She started out as a folk singer, but these days she’s known as a singer/song writer whose music style crosses from country/folk to easy listening... The Allanton, Berwickshire based ISLA GRANT never had any doubts about career ambitions, having grown up around music, her father was a piper, her mother was a singer and her grandfather a fiddler. From the age of 14 Isla was performing in the folk clubs of Glasgow and Edinburgh.“The big acts working the folk clubs, at the time, were Eddie & Finbar Furey, The Dubliners & Billy Connolly, who was a member of the group named “The Humblebums” she recalled. A few years later Isla took her
music South of the Border, to the clubs of Northeast England, a tough learning ground for any newcomer in the business, where audiences clearly let it be known if they didn’t like a performance. Someone once remarked, “If you can work these clubs, you can work anywhere!” ISLA GRANT passed her apprenticeship with flying colours. Around this time her music moved away from folk to country and she started listening to the music of Merle Haggard, “He is possibly the finest country artist of them all, his songs have got me through a lot of hard times over the years”. The club scene also brought her in contact with Al, who was heading up his own band. They married in 1992, after having worked as Isla Grant & Al Young. ISLA GRANT had built up a considerable repertoire, but facing an audience again would be a traumatic ordeal. However, having made the decision she appeared at a theatre in Kelso, where she received an immediate & enthusiastic response and she soon overcame all fear & trepidation.A recording deal was struck with a record company in Dublin, who also represent Foster & Allen. Now after 11 albums, some of which have gone triple platinum, ISLA GRANT has branched out and started her own record label (I.G.E) and released her first album on her own label in October 2008. ISLA GRANT now tours the world and has an ever-increasing fan base that enthusiastically support her live concerts and album releases.

Redlegs win after siren and move into five PENINSULA LEAGUE
By Toe Punt MT ELIZA moved back inside the top five in MPNFL Peninsula Division on Sunday after an after-the-siren victory against Mornington at Alexandra Park. James Hammond took a wonderful pack park in the goal square with just seconds on the clock and then went back and converted after the siren to hand the Redlegs a five point win. Despite the fact that an inexperienced, more committed Mornington side appeared the better side all afternoon, Mt Eliza always seemed to have the answers at the right time. Warwick Miller was clearly the most influential and best player on the ground with seven goals for Mornington but it wasn’t enough to claim the victory. The Redlegs are now inside the top five by less than two per cent, pushing Seaford out of the top bracket. In the final game of the season, Seaford plays Bonbeach at Bonbeach while Mt Eliza hosts bottom of the ladder Langwarrin. The final five is now set. It what was a critical game for Seaford against Edithvale-Aspendale at home on Saturday. Despite drawing level in the last quarter, the Tigers went down by seven points, 11.14 (80) to 12.15 (87). The loss dropped the Tigers out of the top five, equal on points with Mt Eliza by two percent in arrears. The Tigers lost the game with a poor first quarter, down by 31 points at the first change. They rallied until the end but once again the Eagles showed they are true contenders for the title. Charlie Martello snagged four for
the winners and Jeremy Heys and Timmy Mannix were superb. Curtus Murfett, Rourke Fischer and Damian Rayson were superb for the Tigers. Pines returned the winner’s list on Saturday after four straight losses, beating Chelsea by 10 goals. The game was tight early but the Pythons shifted up a gear in the second half, booting 10 goals to four to win 18.12 (120) to 9.6 (60). The Pythons seemed to have lost their way since star Aaron Edwards went down with a knee injury but they regained their mojo on Saturday. Pythons coach Pat Swayne said on the RPP Footy Show on Saturday morning that his side had been maintaining its standards in every area, other than conversion. “Aaron was converting his opportunities in front of goal at 87 per cent – that’s ridiculous accuracy,” Swayne said. “We have been right there in our losses and all of our other key performance indicators like contested footy, inside 50’s etc have been consistent all season. It was just that conversion that was hurting us. “Against Seaford last week we had our chances but booted 1.5 and two out-of-bounds on the full. You can’t win games with that return,” Swayne said. It’s conversion as pretty good on Saturday, booting 18 of 30 opportunities at goal. More impressively, Pines had 10 contributors on the scoreboard. Despite the loss, it’s been an exciting week for the Seagulls with Brett Dunne handing over the coaching reigns to James Brain in 2018. Dunne has done a superb job with the club since taking over as coach and has
provided great stability after having five coaches in five seasons. He has been well-supported by the hard working executive and committee at the club also. Current Mordialloc-Braeside Under 17 coach Dan Knopers will take over the Gull’s Under 19s next season in another exciting development or the club. More exciting news at Karingal too with Michael Burke declaring he will go around again next season to celebrate the new social rooms and of course be around to help celebrate the 300th game of great mate Luke VanRaay, who is missing at the moment with a knee injury. Burke, who is tipped to win his 10th club best and fairest this season, is showing no signs of slowing down. Unfortunately though on Saturday against Bonbeach, the Bulls were not able to push in the second half, going down by 39 points, 13.6 (84) to 6.9 (45). Riley Hodson “brought his own footy” to Lloyd Park in Frankston YCW’s 16.18 (114) to 6.5 (41) win against Langwarrin. Hodson booted five majors and was the best player on the ground in what was Craig Nankervis’ 250th game for the club. Nankervis was only the seventh player in the club’s history to play 250 games. Nick Tuddenham and Michael Parker were the best of the Kangas. Too hot to handle: Frankston YCW got up easily over Langwarrin on Saturday. Picture: Scott Memery
Top five tussle down to final round NEPEAN LEAGUE
By Toe Punt THE battle for a place in the top five will come down to the final game of the season this Saturday in MPNFL Nepean Division football. Red Hill and Dromana are separated in fifth and sixth position by just 1.64 percent going into the final round. Red Hill faces Tyabb and Dromana plays Rye in the last game. The Hillmen went into Saturday’s round holding a .6 per cent lead over Dromana, however, with a convincing 78-point victory over Crib Point, were able to extend their margin (121.76 per cent v 120.12 per cent). Dromana too faced a tough contest against Pearcedale at Pearcedale but walked away with a 77-point victory. Meanwhile, Rosebud booted the last three goals of the game in the final 12 minutes in the last quarter to force a drawn game with Hastings. The Blues’ form had been strong coming into the clash with narrow losses against the competition’s powerhouses Sorrento and Frankston Bombers. At the 14-minute mark of the last quarter, Hastings’ star Paul Rogasch booted his sixth goal of the match and extended the margin to what appeared to be a match-winning 17 points. However, a snap from Aaron Rose and a conversion to Brenton Payne in the dying minutes dragged the scores to 10.12 (72) apiece.
Anthony Pegg and Sean Downie were superb for the Buds while Rogasch, Stevey Robb and Matt Clifford on Keegan Downie were fantastic for the Blues. It was Rosebud’s first match against a top side in the past two months. However, it would need to improve considerably on that performance on Saturday to be considered a genuine threat for the title. Chris Irving booted seven goals and was dominant for Red Hill against Crib Point, helping his side to a 19.22 (136) to 9.4 (58) win. Brad Davidson booted four second-half goals and Luke Herrington played arguably his best game of the season. Matt Hammond and Rikki Johnston booted four goals each in Dromana’s 20.13 (133) to 8.8 (56) win against Pearcedale. In what appeared to be a danger game for the Tigers, they were able to boot 11 goals to four after half time. Shaun Clarke was again outstanding, this time pushing forward and booting three goals. Andrejs Everitt made it nine goals in two weeks after booting four majors in Somerville’s 14.20 (104) to 4.7 (31) victory over Tyabb. Timmy McGenniss and Benny Sedgewick were outstanding in the win. In the final game, Sam Fox booted six goals and Jason Kingsbury four in Frankston’s strong 18.18 (126) to 8.5 (53) win against Devon Meadows.
No quarter given: Rosebud and Hastings played out a dramatic draw at the weekend. Picture: Rab Siddhi Frankston Times 14 August 2017

MPNFL clubs ‘to take control’ By Toe Punt MORNINGTON Peninsula Nepean Football League clubs may be forced to investigate alternative administration to manage their competition after their calls for a structure not involving South East Nepean Football Netball (SENFL) clubs once again fell on AFL South East deaf ears at a meeting held last Wednesday night. MPNFL club delegates met at Frankston Bombers last week and once again voted unanimously against any divisional structure that included South East Nepean Football Netball (SENFL) clubs. However, AFL South East General Manager John Anderson, who asked if he could attend the meeting, once again refused to provide his views on the proposal. What Mr Anderson was keen to push across though was his claims that a number of clubs wrote to him after the proforma letter was sent to
say they supported divisional football. He would not share details of who those clubs were. Regardless, for the second time in a month, clubs in attendance voted unanimously against the AFL South East recommendations of a three-tier divisional structure involving SENFL. Mr Anderson was joined at the meeting by AFL South East commissioners, former Frankston YCW star Paul Theobald and former EdithvaleAspendale president Ted Turner. MPNFL clubs may be left with no other choice but to seek alternatives to their governance. Meanwhile, SENFL Clubs are also feeling frustrated over the constant procrastination of the region’s governing body to make a decision, given it was supposed to hand down recommendations at the end of 2016. Already this year, the submission period was extended, despite the MPNFL’s staunch stance, whilst a commission decision was deferred last
week to 21 August. There’s still no guarantee that a decision will be made on 21 August, despite recommendations being heard on that date by the commission. In a landscape that currently seems shaky, one thing is for certain, SENFL clubs are becoming increasingly frustrated, their hands tied in planning for 2018. Kahl Heinze, a former Narre Warren president and a key member in leading the Casey-Cardinia breakaway from the MPNFL, took to social media to express his frustrations. “It’s been said before – the answer that’s best for SENFL Clubs is an en-masse move to Southern Football League to create a new premier division,” Mr Heinze wrote. “AFL SE has ignored this completely the whole time. Nepean and Peninsula have been steadfast in their stance for three years so divisional football was never going to involve the MPNFL Leagues. “I’m sorry
to say this but the AFLSE has been asleep at the wheel on this one – politics and regional commission boundaries have proven to be more important to our governing body than the survival of clubs in the SENFL. “Maybe it’s time for a review into the effectiveness of the AFLSE itself,” he said. It is believed that the struggling Hampton Park is seeking a lifeline in the Southern League, leaving just eight SENFL clubs, something they are not enthusiastic about with fees split between fewer clubs putting additional financial pressure on the clubs. A number of SENFL Clubs, including Pakenham, Cranbourne and Beaconsfield, released statements last week supporting AFL South East’s stance on a divisional structure involving MPNFL clubs. The alternatives being flagged by the SENFL Clubs are to join a neigh-
bouring league en-masse or going it alone to seek new homes which would fracture and eventually break the SENFL competition. SENFL clubs are clearly understanding and supportive of the MPNFL clubs’ plight, although they are rightly and understandably seeking the best interests of themselves and the future of their own competition. The MPNFL clubs are doing the same thing and it doesn’t involve SENFL. So, is a decision made based on the best interests of eight or nine clubs who generally admit geographically it doesn’t make sense or do MPNFL clubs get listened to? If AFL South East’s stance on Wednesday night is any indication, then divisional football will be introduced regardless of the unanimous thoughts of its member clubs. With that, the clubs just may feel they have little choice but to seek alternative administration.
Season on the line for Langwarrin, Mornington SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN and Mornington go head-to-head on Saturday at Lawton Park in the most anticipated contest on the peninsula for years. At stake is a place in next season’s National Premier League second division and the honour of becoming the first local outfit to gain entry to Victoria’s elite club competition. Langy’s lead in the race for the State 1 South-East title was cut to five points over Mornington last weekend. While Gus Macleod’s side had to settle for a point in a controversial 0-0 draw away to Manningham United, Adam Jamieson’s men were engineering a stunning 3-2 come-from-behind away win over Caulfield United Cobras. Caulfield’s Mario Hofmann had Mornington on the back foot when he opened the scoring after just four minutes and two excellent defensive plays inside the area by youngster Charlie Parker stopped the home side from increasing its lead. On both occasions, Parker didn’t dive in but used his body well to first outmanoeuvre beanpole striker Cort Kibler-Melby in the 24th minute then Hofmann in the 36th minute. Then the man that can’t stop scoring, Sammy Orritt, levelled in the 38th minute from close range. A minute later Wayne Gordon made it 2-1 when he came steaming in at the back post to hammer home Ryan Paczkowski’s cutback from the left of the area. A minute into the second period Gordon headed wide from point-blank range following Keegan Ziada’s cross from the left and Caulfield keeper Dennys Martin did well to parry a Paczkowski shot in the 66th minute following a fine pass from Scott Millar. Four minutes later Caulfield midfielder Joe Summerbell curled his shot onto the bar after a great run by Chris Smack but Caulfield captain Danny Topping’s back post header in the 75th minute made it 2-2. Jamieson rolled the dice by bringing on central defensive stalwart Stevie Elliott and playing him up front and it was a gamble that would pay enormous dividends. With Mornington’s title tilt in the balance and the clock ticking over into the second minute of time added Orritt

gained possession wide on the right. He jinked this way and that creating enough room for a cross and when he delivered he put the ball on a plate for Elliott who came thundering in to power his header home for the decider. The celebrations which followed showed how much this meant to Mornington’s players, bench and supporters. Meanwhile up at Park Avenue Reserve the travelling Langy fans were bemoaning referee Manny Haractsis’ decision to ignore penalty appeals in the 89th minute. Substitute Navin Vellupilay played a one-two with Alex Metcalfe then was felled inside the area but play was waved on. A few minutes earlier gun Langy import Connor Belger had broken through into a one-on-one with Manningham keeper Mathew Banovic but shot wide with the goal at his mercy. Despite Belger’s miss, he remains the man who holds the key to Langy’s fortunes this weekend while the club will test the fitness of defender Kieron Kenny and striker Liam Baxter.
Frankston Times 14 August 2017
There’s little doubt that one of the men Langy must curtail is 24-year-old Englishman Orritt. His signing in June has been a masterstroke and he has become Mornington’s talisman. The former Rotherham United junior has taken State 1 by storm with nine goals in seven games and is a class act. While the title race is yet to be decided no such doubt exists in the State 1 South-East reserves competition with Ronnie Whitton’s Langwarrin defeating Manningham 1-0 to clinch the championship. Substitute Mitch Blake scored the winner in the 80th minute. Langy’s closest rival was Clifton Hill but it went down 4-2 to St Kilda while Mornington took over second spot with a 4-0 win in curious circumstances. Both Caulfield and Mornington reserves squads arrived at Victory Park to find that the ground hadn’t been marked out but referee Dragoslav Mirkovic was in a benevolent mood and allowed the game to start 24 minutes after the appointed kick-off time of 1pm and con-
sist of 35-minute halves. What had started in bizarre fashion descended into farce in the second half when the referee indicated to the Mornington bench that if they didn’t substitute Irishman Mick Richardson then he was going to send him off. No prizes for guessing Richardson’s reaction as he headed for an early shower. Mirkovic had far less impact on proceedings as an assistant referee in the senior match. Southern United’s under-13s have both hands firmly on the NPLW championship but can’t hold the trophy aloft just yet. Their 2-1 win away to Bulleen on Sunday gives them a seven-point lead over Calder United plus a vastly superior goal difference with just three games left. Southern’s goalscorer was Brianna Watson, her first came two minutes before the break and the second seven minutes into the second half. The seniors (8.30pm) and under-18s (6.30pm) play at Bulleen’s Veneto Club tonight (Monday). Peninsula Strikers are staring down the barrel after going down 6-3 to visitors Beaumaris on Saturday. Declan Byrne opened the scoring for Beaumaris in the 11th minute but his contribution ended in the 84th minute when he was sent off. Other Beaumaris scorers were Kieron Kennedy (28th, 61st), Adam Hester (37th, 44th) and Toby Nowell (85th). Raphael Stulz (5th, 92nd) and Chris McKenna (70th) scored for Strikers. Doncaster Rovers leapfrogged Strikers with a 3-1 win home win over North Caulfield on Saturday night pushing the Centenary Park club into second last spot in State 2 South-East. Another local State 2 club, Seaford United, continued its miserable season with a 7-0 drubbing away to title contender Eltham Redbacks on Saturday all but condemning Paulo Pinheiro’s side to a last-placed finish while Frankston Pines’ 0-0 home draw with Old Scotch pushes Pines five points clear of the relegation zone. Skye United clings on to a one-point lead over third-placed Brandon Park in State 3 South-East and faces a crucial fixture on Saturday against State 3 South-East champion elect Knox City at Skye Recreation Reserve. Skye won 2-0 away from home against Noble Park on Saturday while
Brandon Park thumped bottom side Sandringham City 7-2 and now has the same goal difference as Skye and has scored more goals. Both clubs meet in round 22 in what looms as a season-defining contest. Although Skye dominated most of the possession in the early exchanges on Saturday Noble Park was denied by the crossbar on three occasions. However midway through the half Marcus Collier found space in the box and lashed home a strike to give the visitors the lead. The second half was much of the same as chances went begging for the visitors but after some nervous moments in defence Skye substitute Lawrence Komba won a penalty in the 90th minute and skipper Mark O’Connor calmly finished it off. The match ended on a sour note for Skye with Johnny Andrinopolous being sent off after receiving a second yellow card deep into injury time. Baxter’s hopes of promotion from State 4 South came to a full stop on Saturday with a shock 4-1 loss to secondbottom side Hampton Park United. Hampton Park led 2-0 at half time with goals from Daniel Milne (8th minute) and Mitchell Hawkins (25th) while a second-half double from Adrian Mirauta completed the rout.

Blairgowrie boxer clashes gloves with China’s champ By Ben Triandafillou BLAIRGOWRIE boxer Jayde ‘J-Mitch’ Mitchell faced the undefeated Super Middleweight Champion of China, Aniwaer Yilixiati, in a much-anticipated match-up on Friday 4 August at the Melbourne Pavilion. Aspiring to become a world champion, Mitchell put his WBA Oceania and WBC OPBF Super Middleweight titles and world ranking on the line to face one of his toughest opponents to date. Mitchell was struck with a powerful blow from Yilixiati in the first round and dropped to the ground where he was “gone” for a short period. Returning to his feet and regaining his focus, Mitchell was able to bounce back and proved his dominance in the ring defeating Yilixiati by unanimous decision in a hard-fought 10-round battle. “He was the toughest fight of my career by far,” Mitchell said. “He was such a big puncher and had great balance, power and timing - he was more than just a slugger. “He’s part Turkish, had about 200 amateur fights and was moved to China where he has been groomed to become world champ. “They thought he would be too much for me
but that didn’t work out.” Initially suffering a setback with Yilixiati’s visa, Mitchell had a legitimate reason to fight a lesser opponent if he wished and defend both titles against them but instead waited until the issue was resolved. “I wanted to prove to myself that I belong in the ring with some of these top fighters,” he said. “All the training would have been wasted and I have to face these tougher opponents if I want to make it further. “That’s why I was over the moon to take on such a seasoned amateur fighter and beat him in the fashion I did.” Mitchell sparred with the hard-hitting and two times Super Middleweight World Champion Sakio ‘The Scorpion’ Bika in preparation for the fight. “I needed someone like Sakio [Bika] so I could feel comfortable with that sort of power,” he said. “I’ve always had fairly good movement but knowing that Yilixiati was such a big puncher I needed to feel more comfortable when facing it. “By the end, I definitely respected his power but I certainly didn’t fear it.” Mitchell is now preparing to return to the Melbourne Pavilion on the 6 October with his opponent yet to be announced.

Rally to put peninsula on the map THE world-renowned Targa Florio vintage car rally will, for the first time, race outside of Italy and through the Mornington Peninsula later this year. More than 200 classic cars will travel across 1200 kilometres of Victoria and make their way from the Bellarine Peninsula to the Mornington Peninsula via ferry on Friday 1 December. The prestigious road race is scheduled to travel through Mornington’s wine region and up through Red Hill before heading towards San Remo and onto Healesville on the Saturday. The four-day event which is set to begin on Thursday 30 November will mark the 101st anniversary of the Targa Florio and is expected to attract thousands of car lovers, celebrities and international media. Over the years the Targa Florio has attracted some of the top international car makers such as Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Bugatti, Lancia, Maserati, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche.
This year’s event will also feature 101 Ferraris competing in the popular Ferrari Tribute as well as pop trio ‘Il Volo’ – who have performed alongside Barbara Streisand, Placido Domingo and at the Eurovision Song Contest – also performing at the race’s closing ceremony. “These classic cars will travel to some of our most breathtaking destinations, breathing more life into regional communities across Victoria,” Minister for Tourism and Major Events, John Eren, said. “Our love of sport and fast cars, coupled with our beautiful scenery and large Italian community, makes us the perfect host for such an occasion.” This will mark Victoria as the only place in the world to host the F1 Grand Prix, the Moto GP and the Targa Florio, all of which are sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).

By Ben Triandafillou AUSSIE Rules enjoyed an international flavour at Peninsula Grammar, Mt Eliza last week when Great Britain and Fiji played in the second round of the AFL International Women’s Cup. Great Britain got off to a flying start at the Harry Macdonald Oval, but seemed to tire early in the third quarter. A fired-up Fiji made a late surge and, with eight minutes left to go, had narrowed the gap to only two points. A late goal from Great Britain’s Stacey Hughes broke Fiji’s momentum and secured her side’s second cup victory: Great Britain 5.3 (33) beat Fiji 3.6 (24). Peninsula Grammar’s Acting Director of Sport, Shona Middleton, described the atmosphere as “incredible” and said it was great to
have the match played at the school. “Everyone was really energetic and excited to have a professional game played at Peninsula Grammar,” she said. “We had amazing interest from across our school from the kinder children to Year 12. They surrounded the oval to watch the historic match. “The Year 4 students even created a guardof-honour with banners made for Fiji and Great Britain adding to the great atmosphere.” Among the crowd was Year 9 student Saige Bayne, who just returned from Western Australia, where she helped Victoria to a grand final triumph over New South Wales in the School Sport Australia 15 and Under Australian Rules Football Championship.
