Wells Street audit under wraps Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au AN audit of the troubled revamp of Wells Street will not be made available to ratepayers after councillors voted behind closed doors after the 2 June public council meeting to keep its contents “confidential indefinitely”. The forensic audit by accountancy
firm HLB Mann Judd is the second audit of the Wells Street refurbishment project. A 5-3 majority of councillors in October last year approved an allocation of $25,000 to dig deeper into the project, originally budgeted at $3.5 million, running about $1.7 million over budget (“Second audit for Wells Street spending”, The Times 9/10/17). An initial audit, costing ratepayers $29,000, was done by Pitcher Partners and analysed the Wells Street works,
the construction of a new war memorial at Beauty Park, the refurbishment of the building partly leased by the Frankston Yacht Club, the building of the Frankston Football Club Function Centre and a clubhouse extension for the Frankston Bombers at Baxter Reserve. The Wells Street project became mired in controversy after a budget of $3.4 million escalated to about $5.4 million including custom-made street furniture, planters and street lighting.
Councillors last week voted to only publicly release the recommendations from the audit and not the full report. The audit ended up costings ratepayers $15,000. Council subsequently released a summary of “recommended actions” when asked by The Times that do not name anyone involved in the project. The Times understands several sections of the audit are critical about the decision to remove a lead consultant from the project, a lack of minutes

taking when a working party including councillors and council officers met and no documentation being available about decisions made during the Wells Street revamp taking shape. The Times also understands some council staff interviewed by the auditor said they felt “disrespected” and “intimidated” during meetings and on-site inspections of the progress of Wells Street works.

Audit stays confidential Continued from page 1 Councillors retrospectively approved budget increases for the project. Pavers that were originally slated to be used for Wells Street were redirected to the Frankston War Memorial construction in Beauty Park and other pavers were ordered for Wells Street. The mayor Cr Colin Hampton, who
led the push to commission the second Wells Street audit late last year, said it was not appropriate to release the full report “to protect the privacy of people” who were interviewed by HLB Mann Judd. “This audit was more of a peoplefocused one,” Cr Hampton said last week. When questioned about several pavers on Wells Street now cracked
and, in some places, becoming partly raised, council CEO Dennis Hovenden said the paving is “fairly even” and it is a “watch and act situation” to monitor whether paving near pits and underground cabling subsides. Mr Hovenden said council is aware of its health and safety obligations around “trip hazards” and said “remedial work” will be done on Wells Street if necessary.

Helping hands: Chisholm TAFE students help prepare meals at a new Life-Gate kitchen trailer last month. Picture: Yanni
Breakfast club forms for needy Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au BREAKFAST for the homeless and disadvantaged will be served up at Frankston’s Chisholm TAFE campus after the education institute stepped up to the plate to host a meals service from October. City Life, now known as Frankston Life, will partner with the Frankston Churches Breakfast Club and other providers to dish up meals at Building N of the Frankston campus. City Life and the breakfast club stopped providing meals to the needy in July 2016 before the charity’s leased Clyde Street Mall premises, were demolished to make way for a new apartment building. Frankston Council provided an interim meals service at community centres
but this ended last month. “At Chisholm, we believe in engaging with, and supporting the local community, and are proud to be involved with this initiative,” Chisholm CEO Dr Rick Ede said. Federal Liberal Dunkley MP Chris Crewther said the meals service hosted at Chisholm’s Frankston campus is “the result of many months of hard work that I’ve initiated and coordinated in conjunction with several local passionate organisations and people”. There is no federal or state government funding for the meals served at this stage. State Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said he also had been involved in talks to bring back a meals service. “It’s really a case of Chisholm being the good guys,” he said. Community breakfasts will be hosted at Chisholm TAFE’s Frankston campus on Monday and Thursday mornings,
7-8am, from 1 October. Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton said while council has no direct involvement in the establishment of a breakfast service “we support its progress and look forward to a successful venture”. “Council has had a long-standing commitment to supporting community breakfasts through our grants program,” Cr Hampton said. Mr Crewther thanked Theodora’s Cheerful Givers, Life-Gate Inc, That’s The Thing About Fishing, John Paul College, Community Support Frankston, Frankston Council, the Seaford Housing Action Coalition (SHAC) “and others” for help with the breakfast service. “Once those initial meals are up and running, and we have got the settings right, we will then look to expand upon the meals offered as well as the organisations involved in providing meals at the one location,” he said.
A PLEA to stop any more pokies machines coming to the Frankston area is being made by council to state politicians. Councillors at this month’s public council meeting unanimously decided to write to Labor Premier Daniel Andrews, Liberal opposition leader Matthew Guy and local Labor state MPs Paul Edbrooke (Frankston) and Sonya Kilkenny (Carrum). North-West Ward councillor Glenn Aitken raised a notice of motion at the meeting “requesting a moratorium and/or ban on any further gaming machines in the Frankston municipality”. Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) statistics show pokies losses have averaged about $62 million each year for the past three financial years. There are nine pokies venues in the Frankston municipality and 519 electronic gaming machines, according to the VCGLR figures. Cr Aitken said pokies are “worse” than other forms of gambling such as horse and greyhound race betting and lamented “damage done” by the machines. “They are quite addictive and they’re designed to be addictive,” he said. “It really attracts people who are vulnerable to that type of gambling and it really destroys communities. It’s really very sad.” Council will seek a letter of support from the Alliance for Gambling
Reform, a group that lobbies all sides of politics to “reduce the harm” gambling causes. Alliance director Reverend Tim Costello, chief advocate of World Vision Australia, coincidentally told councillors he has moved to Frankston this year. The new Frankston resident addressed councillors at the June public council meeting and said state governments reap billions of dollars in revenue from pokies yet “councils get left to clean up a lot of the damage”. Mr Costello said individuals who become pokies addicts are often blamed by some for taking responsibility for their gambling. “We never blame the machine. The machine is built for addiction.” The alliance has asked Frankston Council to join the Alliance for Gambling Reform as a group partner at a cost of $25,000 to ratepayers. Neighbouring Kingston and Mornington Peninsula Shire councils are listed as alliance leaders on the group’s website. Neil Walker
Clarification AN article last week “Animal rescuers fee free” (The Times, 9/7/18) omitted to report registration fees are not payable for animals adopted from pounds for the first year only. Frankston municipality residents who adopt an animal from a pound after 2 July 2018 are eligible to have the first year fees waived.

NEWS DESK Internet scam SCAMMERS falsely claiming to be NBN Co representatives have been asking for personal information and financial details under the pretence of switching internet services to the national broadband network. NBN Co says scammers have been taking advantage of customers, including retirement village residents. “It is important to be aware that NBN Co will never make unsolicited calls or door knock to sell broadband services,” NBN Co chief security officer Darren Kane said. “NBN Co may make calls to individuals registered on our medical alarm or fire and lift registers but will never request payment or bank account details during these calls.” Mr Kane said NBN Co staff will also never ask for payment for medical alarms. “NBN Co is the company building and operating Australia’s wholesale broadband network, and as a wholesaleonly company, we do not sell broadband packages directly to consumers. “There are times when NBN Co may contact you directly as part of the network rollout, but never to request payment for services over the NBN network.” Mr Kane says people should not share bank or personal details with any unsolicited caller or door knocker claiming to be from NBN Co and trying to sell an internet service. Anyone who believes they have been the victim of such a scam should report the matter to their bank and the police. Call IDCARE on 1300 432 273 for more help.

Camp finds new base TRAINING for triathlons has already notched up a big win for the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula area with triathletes from three states visiting to take part in a training camp last week. Good sporting grounds and venues alongside the convenience of surrounding landscapes for triathlon training has seen Triathlon Victoria move its annual boot camp for triathletes from Geelong to Mount Eliza and Frankston. Long and middle distance runner Craig Mottram and Australia national netball team coach Lisa Alexander shared tips with triathlon training camp participants at Mount Eliza’s Toorak College on becoming elite athletes. The Southern Stars training camp was attended by more than 60 athletes, 20 coaches and several presenters. “Toorak College has been a valued partner for this camp with first-rate facilities. Their flexibility with the group was most appreciated,” Triathlon Victoria athlete pathway coordinator Kyle Burns said. “The riding in the surrounds is a chance to do all types of riding on flat, hills and at the college. As well as running at Frankston reservoir, Frankston foreshore and others.” Swimming sessions took place at the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC) in Frankston. “The feedback on the facilities available from the athletes have been extremely positive,” Mr Burns said. “Everyone is looking forward to next year.” Mr Burns said 10 Mornington Peninsula Triathlon Club participants “enjoyed showing all of the other athletes around their backyard”.

Eateries may fill ‘empty’ building Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE council building on Frankston’s foreshore partly leased by the Frankston Yacht Club may be on the verge of gaining two new occupants alongside the club. After the latest 2 July public council meeting councillors gave council officers the go-ahead to try to finalise commercial tenancy leases with a restaurant company and burger joint to move into the premises. The councillors’ decision was made behind closed doors for commercialin-confidence reasons.
It may be third summer lucky for council finding tenants for the mostly empty building built in 2016 at great expense to ratepayers. The $11 million building has sat mostly empty since its grand opening and previous attempts to find suitable tenants for the building have failed. The foreshore facing part of the ground floor was leased for a minimal peppercorn rental rate to “pop up” cafe operators during the past two summer seasons. Council CEO Dennis Hovenden confirmed lease negotiations are ongoing and it is hoped the mostly empty building will be tenanted this summer when asked by The Times.
Ratepayers will fork out about $900,000 towards fit out expenses at the building for commercial food business tenants as part of the lease agreements. Mr Hovenden said the fit out will cost less than initially budgeted. “We were talking about $1.5 to $2 million last year,” he said. The fit-out cost comes on top of about $100,000 spent each year to keep the weather-beaten wooden exterior of the building “in pristine condition” to stop it turning “grey with age”.

Shots fired in Frankston
SHOTS were fired when police officers tried to apprehend the occupants of a stolen car in Frankston this afternoon (13 July). Police saw a stolen Mercedes Benz SUV near Frankston-Dandenong Road, Frankston North at about 1.10pm and followed the vehicle before trying to arrest two men and a woman at the intersection of Frankston-Dandenong Road and Overton Road. Police confirmed a police officer “discharged his firearm” during the arrest attempt. The officer suffered a foot injury and no-one else was injured. Police Professional Standards Command will investigate the incident. Police searched for the two men and a woman who fled south on Dandenong Road East and later abandoned the Mercedes Benz SUV in Baxter.

Saturday protest
Report animal abuse
It’s my birthday tomorrow and I’m thinking about the happy relaxed time I will have celebrating with my family. Tucked away in the corner of my mind, though, is another thought about a milestone, but this one does not have happy connotations. It is rapidly approaching the fifth year since successive Australian governments have confined refugees and asylum seekers, including children, on Nauru and Manus islands. Many have no hope of a different future and languish in very poor conditions. Recently, many Australians were sickened by the US government policy of separating children from their asylum-seeking parents (now reversed, thank goodness) but let us not forget our own harshness that condemns, in some cases, whole families to an existence that resembles being “caged”. Another recent suicide of a young man on Nauru attests to the hopelessness of their situation. A grieving mother has lost her son and wonders if the same fate awaits her younger child. Along with other Grandmothers Against the Detention of Refugee Children, I will be joining a rally in Melbourne on Saturday 21 July to protest against our cruel policy. The question is, will I be doing the same in another year’s time? I sincerely hope not. Let’s tell our politicians that we cannot continue this cruelty in our name. Jean Pengilly, Hastings
People throughout Australia are rightly outraged at the light sentence handed out in the case of a man who was convicted in the Burnie Magistrates Court of beating at least six fairy penguins to death with a stick on Sulphur Creek beach on New Year’s Day. The magistrate described this as a “callous act” on an “easy target” and said that the attack must have continued for several minutes. Although the magistrate pointed out that the man had shown no remorse, she imposed a penalty of just 49 days community service, and costs of $82. Under Tasmania’s Animal Welfare Act, animal cruelty can result in fines of $26,000 or imprisonment for up to one and a half years. A spokesperson for Birds Tasmania expressed extreme disappointment at the sentence and said it would set an “unwelcome precedent for future attacks”. Animal abusers are cowards. Because animals cannot report abuse and can do little to fight back, they’re often used as “practice” victims by violent people. A study by Dr John Clarke, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Sydney, demonstrated, using police data, that 61.5 per cent of convicted animal abuse offenders had also committed an assault and 17 per cent were guilty of sexual abuse. Most disturbingly, animal abuse was a better predictor of sexual assault than previous convictions for homicide, arson, or firearms offences. It’s time that this country started to treat cases of cruelty to animals as the serious crimes they are. Desmond Bellamy, special projects coordinator PETA Australia

‘Team 11’ avoids the first cut Brodie Cowburn team@baysidenews.com.au THE south east Melbourne suburbs Team 11 bid has been shortlisted for entry into the soccer A-League at the end of last month and is one of three active Victorian bids competing for the coveted spot in the competition. The Geoff Lord led Belgravia Leisure bid was one of five removed from contention by the FFA when the latest shortlist was announced. It was also recently announced that Jayco Australia founder Gerry Ryan
would be getting on board as a financial backer of the Team 11 bid to be based in Dandenong. Aspendale, Chelsea, Langwarrin, Mornington, Peninsula Strikers and Westernport are among 43 Victorian soccer clubs who have signed letters of support for the bid to create an ALeague side to represent south-east Victoria. The bid, operating under the title ‘Team 11’, sent the letters of support to the Football Federation Australia and Lead Advisor for the expansion process Deloitte as part of their expression of interest for an A-League spot.
Team 11 project officer Matt Windley said the signing of letters of support is the start of forming “working relationships” between Team 11 and lower level Victoria clubs. “The support received thus far has been incredible and we can’t thank enough the tireless efforts of the volunteers who run these clubs to help Team 11’s bid. We would love to have working relationships with all clubs in the south-east of Victoria,” Mr Windley said. “This is a club that has to be of benefit to its local football community. It goes beyond simply playing A-League
and W-League matches locally, it has to be a genuine positive presence in the community and provide a genuine professional pathway for our young boys and girls. These letters of support are an indication from our community that we are building this bid in the right way thus far.” Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton said the potential success of the bid would mean “significant opportunities for growth and development to local players.” “We have the numbers, now we need to raise our voice to make Team 11 become a reality.

Doctor’s notes a winter remedy By Barry Morris
A DOCTOR could be forgiven for prescribing patients a dose of jazz music to help them get back in the swing and beat the winter blues. During a consultation, she could break into scat singing to show them how to breathe properly or check their vocal cords, not to be confused with chords. Or she could sing a gentle bossa nova to transport them from chilly Victoria to a sun-drenched beach in Latin America. “It will never happen,” laughs Dr Lizzy Gascoigne, a popular doctor at Mt Martha Village Medical Centre, who’s also an accomplished jazz singer. In the surgery, sharps have a completely different meaning from when she is on stage. As well as fronting sassy retro jazz band Kissing Harriet, Gascoigne, who lives at Mt Eliza, has worked with pianist Bob Sedergreen at Paris Cat Jazz Club in the city. Her most recent gig was backing Mt Martha magician Cath Jamison in a cabaret show in the Melba Spiegeltent in Collingwood for the Melbourne Magic Festival. As a youngster, Gascoigne loved listening to jazz and became hooked on the rhythms, beat, improvisation and the complexities of the African-American music “I played records of singers Sarah Vaughan and Frank Sinatra over and over,” she says. The hip (as in cool) doctor has performed with a big band at the HI Fi Bar in Swanston Street, Melbourne had a residency at The Wrong Crowd in Geelong where she also did “a life-changing jazz course”. And she also attended a jazz educators’ course in New York City. Has she ever had a gig when the cry went up, “Is there a doctor in the house?”: “No, but occasionally when I do corporate gigs and look at overweight businessmen drinking lots of beer, I wonder if there could be the need for a little CPR at some stage, especially if they start tearing up the dance floor.” Lizzy Gascoigne will front her band Kissing Harriet at the City of Frankston Bowling Club at 6pm on Sunday 22 July.
THE singing doctor Lizzy Gascoigne has an appointment be on stage in Frankston with her band next Sunday.
ryone in the south east to get behind this bid and show their support,” Cr Hampton said. Mornington Soccer Club president Matt Cameron said that “location is the huge thing. Having a stadium in Dandenong 25 minutes up the road, it’s far easier to get to. But it’d also be great for our kids to be able to watch and aspire to play for that club that is representing their local area.” The successful two teams on the ten team shortlist will be announced this October, and will enter the league at the commencement of the 2019-2020 A-League season.
Dumper fined A DUMPER has been fined $16,000 after Frankston Council took court action to prosecute the offender. The offender was found guilty at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in June and mayor Cr Colin Hampton said the verdict should serve as a warning to anyone who does not dispose of litter properly. “Council is committed to take a zero tolerance approach to illegal dumping. We established a Litter Enforcement Unit last year, who are tasked with educating the community about illegal dumping, enforcement issues and, if need be, we will take offenders to court,” Cr Hampton said. The offender in the court case was found guilty of seven charges with conviction, having been found guilty of illegal dumping in Leawarra Parade, Ballam Park and McClelland College over the course of 48 hours. “Last year, council received and investigated over 3,400 complaints about dumped waste across Frankston City,” the mayor said. “Unfortunately, some people still do the wrong thing and dump rubbish, shopping trolleys and litter in our city, natural reserves and along roadsides.” The mayor said most illegal dumping across Frankston contains household junk, which can instead be taken to the Frankston Regional Recycling and Recovery Centre on Harold Road in Skye. “Our regional transfer station accepts furniture, green waste and mattresses. Some recyclable items like steel, TVs and paint tins are accepted at no cost.” The Frankston Regional Recycling and Recovery Centre is open every day of the year, except Good Friday and Christmas Day, from 8am–4pm. For details about the Frankston Regional Recycling and Recovery Centre, see frankston.vic.gov.au or call 1300 322 322.

Kids have concerns over climate change, says author By Barry Morris
CHILDREN are concerned about climate change and the impact it will have on their lives, says author, illustrator and artist Terry Denton. Denton, a celebrity in the world of children’s literature, lives in Mornington and has a block of land at Mt Martha backing on to Balcombe Estuary reserves. He spends much his time on talking tours and listening to children in Australia and New Zealand. The curly mop-haired artist, who works in tandem with author Andy Griffiths on the treehouse series of books as well as writing his own books, has agreed to be patron of the environment group BERG Mt Martha. Through talking at schools he has been struck by how environmentally aware children are today. “Kids are aware of global warming and how fragile the environment is,” he says. “Because of the internet and also because it is part of the curriculum, kids are much more aware than, say, 30 or 40 years ago. “Even some games tackle the environment and global warming is a huge thing with kids - it concerns them.” Denton says he has never written a book on the environment and “perhaps, now that I’m patron of BERG MM I should rectify that”. He says he wouldn’t want to be a teenager today, describing it as “a tough game”. “The whole social media thing would be a powerful distraction for me,” he says. “At the same time, primary school kids, up to year eight or nine, are reading more than they ever have. “They’re also more articulate. At a school in Coburg I was amazed at how sharp the kids were. “Growing up in the 1960s there were mas-
sive literary problems that are not there now. “The book industry will tell you too that this is pretty much a golden time for children’s books.” Denton has fond memories of Balcombe Estuary and paddling a canoe up the creek in the 1980s. He regrets that with his books’ success over the past five years he has been too busy to paddle. “I just love the wonderful, natural world of the estuary. It’s an amazingly rare thing. It’s so special, particularly with its water birds. It’s still pristine,” he says. “I love that something as beautiful as the estuary, teeming with life, is in the middle of what is quite a busy suburban area. “It deserves to be looked after. I’ve always been interested in the struggle for the environment. “In the next 30 years there’ll be a lot more people living down here so we have to be careful how we manage the development of Mornington Peninsula. “Balcombe Estuary is a model of how that can be done with BERG MM working with [Mornington Peninsula Shire] council, Rotary and other organisations. “It’s a work in progress but BERG MM has saved what could have been lost. I’m sure there are going to be further battles ahead.” Whenever he gets the chance he still goes down to the estuary to paint water colours. As an artist, he hopes to reach out to children through art about the beauty and wonder of the estuary, the birds, animals and fish. “Kids are very visually literate,” he says. Somebody’s home: Treehouse books’ co-author Terry Denton seems a bit undecided about this novel bird house in a Mt Martha backyard. Picture: Barry Morris
Athletes chase new peak performance highs Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au SOME competitive types will go to any lengths to improve their athletic performance. Dedicated to their sport, they aspire to lofty goals while noting every second saved, every centimetre gained, and every kilo lost. That desire is making a new high altitude training centre in Mornington the go-to place for endurance athletes as well as those just wanting to lose weight. The centre’s technique works by drawing in air from outside the building and pumping it into a holding tank. There, the oxygen and nitrogen are split into their components with the oxygen taken out of the mix and pumped into the altitude centre at a controlled rate.
Air at sea level is 20.9 per cent oxygen but inside this is reduced to 13.9 per cent – the equivalent of breathing air at 3500 metres. By comparison, Mt Buller is 1800 metres high. High altitude training was once only available to professional athletes. AFL footballers from Essendon, Geelong, Collingwood and St Kilda spent time in Arizona to reap the rewards of a tough pre-season’s training. Now athletes on the peninsula can use high altitude training to acclimatise to the rigors of a low-oxygen environment to train for arduous hiking or trekking adventures. “Athletes use high altitude training to enhance their endurance performance,” New Heights Altitude Training Centre’s Scott Pimlott said. “At altitude the body produces more red blood cells as it adapts to the low-
oxygen environment. It is 30 per cent harder to perform in that environment. Our clients find their bodies become so much more efficient because they have so much extra fuel. “The body starts adapting after an hour in the high altitude environment; you can see the blood saturation levels changing. The body is adapting.” Mr Pimlott said high altitude training was also a weight-loss tool because it increases the body’s metabolic rate over an extended period. The body consumes fat for five or six hours after a session enabling clients to achieve leaner muscle mass. They don’t have to do as much training to achieve their goals to make big gains, he said, adding that one hour’s exercise inside the centre equates to two hours’ exercise outside.
“It helps people to increase their lung capacity, which benefits those who suffer from asthma. Also, it’s a time efficient way of training.” A keen mountain biker, Mr Pimlott, of Red Hill, said recent clients had trained for an ultra-marathon in the Sahara over six days and 251 kilometres. “Others come to train for the ironman, running marathons and cycling marathons,” he said. “Rye boxer Jayde Mitchell trains at our facility as this type of training is popular in the boxing world.” Can do attitude: Mornington athletes Clinton Watson used high altitude training to increase his endurance capabilities in preparation for the Marathon des Sables in the Sahara Desert, Morocco.

ATO pops up in Frankston THE Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is opening a pop-up shop in Frankston to help taxpayers with their tax returns. “Each service meets a different community need, with pop-ups making it easier for people to connect to the ATO online, while the Tax Help program benefits those on low incomes with simple tax affairs, including those who are vulnerable or disadvantaged,” assistant commissioner Kath Anderson said. The Frankston pop-up is one of 35 in major shopping centres, community hubs and a metro train station. Ms Anderson said pop-ups are a face-to-face service providing advice and on-the-spot demonstrations to help people gain confidence using the ATO’s digital products and services. “Getting your tax right can be difficult sometimes. That’s why we’re getting out in the local community. We want everyone to feel confident using our online products and services, regardless of whether you use an agent or lodge your own return,” Ms Anderson said. Ms Anderson said if you are planning to prepare your own return this year, it’s the perfect opportunity to learn about the ATO’s online lodgment tool, myTax, and other online services to help you manage your tax and super affairs, including our myDeductions tool in the ATO app. “MyTax is streamlined and personalised to your tax affairs, making it suitable for anyone who wants to lodge their own tax return. MyDeductions allows you to snap, save and store your individual income tax deductions in one convenient place. It is a great way to keep track of your expenses without having to worry about lost and faded receipts.” But pop-ups aren’t just about tax returns and deductions. Ms Anderson said the ATO’s digital services also provide a variety of other benefits. “When you visit, we will be able to show
you how to use the range of online services and teach you how to do things like set up a myGov account, download the ATO app, find your lost super, lodge and revise activity statements and view your study and training support loan. And if you have already lodged, we can show you how to check the progress of your return.” Ms Anderson said a feature of pop-ups is that you don’t need an appointment. “We deliberately set up our pop-ups in places where you will see us as you go about your day. Just drop in and we’ll be happy to answer your questions.” The Tax Help program is a free service to help people who earn less than $60,000 to lodge their tax returns. This year around 800 ATO-trained and accredited volunteers will be at more than 600 locations across Australia, including local libraries, community centres and organisations in metropolitan, rural and regional areas. “Our volunteers help people from all walks of life, including those who’ve fallen on hard times and those in the community who are most vulnerable. The best bit is that it allows low-income Australians to be confident they are getting their tax right. “We get such positive feedback from the community, our volunteers and centres. Last year alone, over 30,000 people were assisted, and over the past 30 years, the Tax Help service has helped more than one-and-a-half million Australians with their tax returns. That’s enough to fill the MCG fifteen times!” The ATO’s Frankston pop-up will be near the Balmoral Street entrance of Bayside Shopping Centre 9am-5.30pm 20-22 August; 9am-9pm 24 August; and 9am-5pm 25 August.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
From Rubber Ball to Pulling a Total Turtle By Stuart McCullough ONCE, I was awesome. Gravity was little more than a momentary inconvenience for me. Sure, I fell (and fell often) but, like the world’s most talented bowling pin, I would right myself in a matter of seconds. Falling over is no big deal when you’re a kid. Then, suddenly and without warning, everything changes. Whereas once you bounced back to your feet, falling over turns into something that, when it happens, you wonder whether, in fact, you’re ever going to stop falling. I can’t say when the wormed turned. I only know that it did. It makes me wonder: who put the worm in charge of anything? I’m not sure why some volatile invertebrate should even have a say, but the worm has most certainly done a full one-eighty and is unlikely to ever turn again. Stupid worm. My only hope for revenge lies in an early bird getting the worm that turned. That’ll teach it. But I digress. We were having a working bee at my father’s house. It’s something we do from time to time to make sure that he has enough firewood for the winter. Mostly it means heading out to the back paddock to collect wood. Notwithstanding my exalted position as the eldest child, my siblings won’t allow me to use the chainsaw - they’ve known me long enough to realize that it’s best for everyone that way. But a working bee at my father’s also means something else: dressing up. I leave nothing to chance. I’ve got my special work pants, hats, gloves,

safety goggles, gumboots, rainponcho and hat. It looks like the worst disguise ever, but I’m reasonably comfortable, despite being exposed to the elements. So outlandish is this get-up that I refuse to drive wearing these clothes for fear that the car might breakdown and I have to stand by the side of the freeway, risking ridicule. I should not be teased by strangers – that’s what family’s for.
Having driven down to Tyabb, I got changed into my wood collecting clothes and made my way down to the back paddock. Given the various safety restrictions, my job was to pick up the wood, load the trailer attached to the four-wheel motorbike and take it back up to the house. Originally, we’d scheduled the working bee a fortnight earlier but had cancelled it due to inclement weather. Despite
this, we then selected a day that struggled to get to double figures while it hailed sideways. We’d been at it for a matter of minutes before things started to seriously wrong. First, someone broke the wood-splitter. This is very easy to do if you over-reach and, normally, I’m the one who breaks it. Then the chainsaw got stuck in a tree branch. Suspended six feet above the earth, it was caught half way through a particularly large piece of timber. It would take all our ingenuity – not to mention brute strength - to get it free. Given these preconditions, it’s a miracle that we didn’t injure ourselves. My brother gave very specific and detailed instructions. Specifically, I was to push and pull the branch back and forth whilst he would work up a sweat trying to pull the chainsaw out. Granted, it was a simple plan. But its genius lay not so much in its simplicity but whether or not it worked. Pleased by the fact that this problem was not of my making, I seized a branch with great enthusiasm and started shaking. My brother yelled words of encouragement as he moved the chainsaw around. It was surprisingly taxing. I started to sweat. I began to puff. My muscles started to strain and burn. That all this could happen after only three seconds of physical effort was as disappointing as it was surprising. Then it happened. I started to lose my grip. Then I lost it completely. It happened just as I executed an especially vigorous ‘pull’ motion. My fingers slipped and I trav-
elled backwards with extreme force. Next thing I knew, I was falling. Down through the undergrowth until I was flat on my back on the ground. I knew I wasn’t injured and that the right thing to do was to get back up and keep on shaking the branch but it wasn’t that easy. Dressed in my gumboots, rain poncho, work pants and gloves; with more layers than an onion to keep out the hail and driving rain, I couldn’t get back up again. I had totally turtled. Spread-eagled, parts of my life flashed before my eyes. Specifically, those parts in which I practically bounced back up whenever I’d fallen over. It was clear that I would never be so elastic ever again. I stared at the sky beyond the canopy of leaves. ‘This is what it has come to’. My brother ascertained that my injuries were emotional rather than physical before laughing. I, on the other hand, was still lying flat on my back. Ultimately, I had to roll over onto my front on the way to getting myself upright. It was as elegant as it sounds. When perpendicular once more, I vowed to avoid falling over in future, even if it meant abandoning the chainsaw. After a while, we were called inside for soup. Returning to the house and grabbing a hot shower, I was reminded that the best thing about working outside is returning inside. Later, I fell onto my bed and turtled once more. This time, I was in no rush to get up again. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Rosebud rescued by one-point win DIVISION ONE
By Brodie Cowburn ROSEBUD claimed a tight one-point victory over Seaford at Belvedere Reserve in a result that effectively ensures Rosebud will not finish in the last place of MPNFL Division One. The win, Rosebud’s fourth for the year, puts them 10 points clear of bottom place Seaford with just four games left to play. Seaford have won just one game all year but will need to win at least three of their remaining four games to close that gap. Their game on Saturday started strongly for Rosebud, as two Keegan Downie goals within the opening 10 minutes saw the travelling side go into the quarter time break looking comfortable with a two-goal lead. In the second quarter, Seaford fought hard to drag themselves back in the game. Although they had closed the margin to less than a kick by the main break, they again failed to deal with Keegan Downie, who scored another two majors and was looking dangerous. After the restart of play, Rosebud came racing out of the gates with three goals inside the first eight minutes of play. Seaford quickly wrestled back control though, kicking their way back into the contest and ensuring the margin only stood at seven points at the three-quarter time break. Rosebud’s accuracy was keeping them in the game, as they had kicked 11 goals and just one behind by the final break. Although Seaford fought valiantly, they just couldn’t do enough in the final term to drag themselves over the line, as they eventually went down to Rosebud by the narrowest of margins 11.9 (75) to 12.4 (76). Keegan Downie proved the difference for the winning side, booting six goals in a best on ground performance.
The result is the second one-point victory in as many weeks after Mornington upset Mt Eliza last Sunday in a thriller 7.8 (50) to 7.9 (51). The Bulldogs were underdogs going into the clash but fought hard to hold a narrow lead throughout the day. Mt Eliza took the lead

in the final term, but Mornington did well to snatch a goal back and secure a close win. Jackson Calder was the Bulldogs’ best with three goals. The remainder of games for the round will be played next weekend.
Yabbies upset Seagulls in a thriller DIVISION TWO
By Brodie Cowburn TYABB secured just their fourth win for the year and moved up to 10th on the ladder with a stunning victory over the highly fancied Chelsea at Bunguyan Reserve. The Yabbies got off to a red-hot start and held a fairly comfortable 21 point lead at the half-time break. Star forward Jake Anderson had set the game alight, kicking four majors in the first half to put his side in pole position. In the third term, Chelsea stormed back into contention with five goals putting them within one point of Tyabb at the final break. Tyabb have struggled all year but battled bravely to hold back a fast-finishing Chelsea, as the Yabbies held on to secure a brilliant upset win 12.16 (88) to 12.13 (85). The loss sees Chelsea surrender third spot to Red Hill, which could cost them the crucial second chance come finals time. At Lloyd Park, Langwarrin were faced with a “do or die” situation against ladder leaders Dromana. Coming off a disappointing loss last week, the Kangaroos needed to win to keep touch with fifth place Hastings and give themselves a shot at making finals. Already faced with the difficult task of knocking off the top of the ladder side, the job was made harder for the Kangaroos by their slow start. Langwarrin didn’t register a single point in the first term as Dromana raced to a 22-point lead at the first break. Despite having everything to play for, Langwarrin couldn’t bounce back in the second term, as Dromana piled on the goals to take a 60-point lead into half-time. After the restart of play, Langwarrin could do little to stem the flow of Dromana goals. While the Kangaroos were a bit better the second half, they
still couldn’t stop Dromana from running away with a dominant victory 3.4 (22) to 15.20 (110). Ben Holmes was a dominant target up forward all day for Dromana, kicking five goals for the day. Ruckman Rory Gregg, Jack Gipp, Ryan Smyth and Terry Wheeler were also among the best performers for the winning side. Dromana dominated the tackle count all day and were relentless in their pressure. The win all but secures them first place on the ladder coming into the final month of the home and away season. Langwarrin now face Hastings in an absolutely crucial game next week, with a loss mathematically ruling the Kangaroos out of finals contention. Kangaroos co-coach Blake McCormack said his side had a lot to do next week after the tough loss. “It felt like Dromana wanted it more today. They led the tackle count and had more of the ball which was quite frustrating. Our intensity wasn’t up to it, they were too good,” he said. “We get a few players back next week, probably about five spine players and leaders that we can really structure our game around. We have hope for next week, we’re a long way out of fifth spot but we roll on to Hastings next week and we really feel we can get some wins on the run home.” Langwarrin are set to be boosted by the returns of Nick Hammill, Shane Paterson, Blake Peach, and Sean Herdman. Co-coach McCormack could also be set to return to the field depending on the results of an upcoming brain scan. McCormack has sat out the last two games following a big head knock against Karingal. At Thomas Barclay Oval it was a different story for Hastings, who solidified their spot in the top five with a comfortable victory over Pearcedale. Hastings got things started on the right foot, as they established a 19 point buffer by the quarter time break. Their fast start set the tone for the remainder of the day, as Pearcedale never looked like fighting their way back into contention. Helped by four goals each to Luke Hewitt and

Paul Rogasch, Hasting eventually ran away to secure an easy victory over Pearcedale 17.11 (113) to 7.8 (50). Not only does the win keep Hastings sitting comfortably in fifth place, it also keeps them within eight points of second spot going into the final rounds of what has been a tight and competitive season. At Glover Reserve, Devon Meadows hosted Somerville in what would prove to be a very even matchup. Despite the margin standing at 19 points at threequarter time, Somerville fought back to claim the
lead with 10 minutes to play in the final term. Shell-shocked, Devon Meadows needed to find a quick response and did so to kick themselves ahead and hold onto a narrow lead. When the final siren sounded, Devon Meadows were just ahead as they claimed a hard-fought win 11.13 (79) to 9.14 (68). Michael Theodoridis was again a standout for Devon Meadows, booting five majors to take his tally to the year to 45. At Ballam Park Reserve it was business as usual for Karingal, as the Bulls pushed aside Rye without much trouble at all. Rye actually got off to a strong start and went into the quarter time break with a three-point lead. After the break though, Karingal were bullish in wrestling back the lead and asserting their dominance on the game. The Bulls battled to establish a 20 point lead at half-time, and their lead only grew after the restart of play. The Demons provided little fight after their strong first quarter, as Karingal claimed a strong win 15.14 (104) to 7.6 (48). In the final game for the weekend, Red Hill ran over the top of Crib Point to secure an easy 80-point victory. Just one solitary goal in the first half for Crib Point ensured they were never a chance against an impressive Red Hill side who have now won their last seven games and sit third on the ladder. The Magpies showed a little more fight in the second half but could do little to stop the rampaging Red Hill, as the final score finished 4.5 (29) to 16.13 (109) in Red Hill’s favour. Ben Hughes played his best game for the year for Red Hill, kicking seven goals. Dylan Hoare, Jake Mold, and Daniel Allsop were also among the best for the winning outfit. Red Hill will go on to play Karingal next week in a huge match, with the winner claiming second spot on the ladder as their own. Frankston Times

Dooley coup for Southern SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie LOCAL NPLW club Southern United has signed American striker Michaela Dooley to a two-year deal with a oneyear option. Dooley arrived in Melbourne last week and has trained with her new teammates and Southern hopes to finalise her international clearance in time to face Alamein next weekend. Dooley’s signing is a major coup as she has been in sparkling form for Swedish club Skövde KIK and had been approached by a Queensland-based club who offered her $2500 a month, a job and free accommodation. The 23-year-old was born in San Diego, California but grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona and the former University of Kentucky star admits that the Queensland offer was attractive. “I was very tempted to take it but it was an offer to finish off the rest of the season then re-evaluate after that and I was looking for something with more stability, something more of a long-term commitment,” Dooley said. Southern head coach Aaron Myatt played a crucial role in Dooley’s decision to join. “He wasn’t pushy. He was great on the phone and was a pleasant person to work with and if he couldn’t answer my questions he would go away and find the answer then get back to me. “He let me take my time, ask as many questions as I wanted and helped me work through the whole process.” Another factor in Southern’s favour was that Dooley’s junior club back in the US was SC Del Sol which was a development club with an emphasis on nurturing its own talent. Dooley was able to draw parallels with Southern and it didn’t take long for her to buy into the Myatt mantra that the senior team would be a powerful outfit down the track. Her three-month stint in Sweden netted seven goals in 13 games and a host of assists, an impressive return given that she started in a central defensive role before assuming the responsibilities of an attacking midfielder. Dooley is relishing the prospect of being in the shop window as she has W-League ambitions and a CV that suggests she has the ability to match. She played for Team USA at last year’s world university games in Taiwan and Myatt sees her as a pivotal part of his plans for the senior squad. “For the last two months her games (in Sweden) have been available online so that gave me a good opportunity to assess her and she is the type of player you

can build a side around,” Myatt said. “Michaela is still developing as a player and as she grows the team will grow too.” As Southern’s on-field plans begin to take shape the club has also been active off the field as shown by the recent appointment of Harry Chalkitis as technical director. Chalkitis has an impressive résumé in Victorian men’s soccer and is a former head coach of the state’s National Training Centre women’s program. The current jewel in Southern’s crown is its under-14 squad and despite losing 1-0 to Calder on Sunday it still heads the table and is eyeing a second successive championship. The under-12s won 2-1 with Rhiannon Kelleher scoring for Southern, the first from a free-kick and the second a sweetly timed left-foot shot. The under-16s lost 4-1 with Jasmine Ristevski scoring for Southern. In NPL2 news Langwarrin drew 1-1 with Springvale White Eagles at Lawton Park on Saturday. Langy dominated the first half despite losing Lewis Foster and Michael Kariuki after 20 minutes to knee and rib injuries respectively. John Kuol calmly slotted the ball home to give Langy the lead in the 26th minute after Liam Baxter’s slide-rule pass. Baxter thought he’d increased the lead just before the interval but his bullet-like header was ruled offside by the assistant referee in a decision that mystified players and spectators alike. But White Eagles took control early in the second half and Langy was made to pay for leaving Delamo Pharoe un-

marked in the box in the 51st minute. In the final analysis it was a valuable point for both sides. Defender Andy McIntyre told Langwarrin after the match that he was leaving. McIntyre had spent five years at Lawton Park and wants to wind down before holidaying in the US in a few weeks’ time. In State 1 South-East news Mornington ran out a convincing 4-0 winner over a depleted St Kilda Celts side at Dallas Brooks Park last weekend. Sammy Orritt and Max Etheridge had good chances early in the contest before both were involved in the opening goal in the 24th minute. Etheridge’s shot from the right of the area was blocked by the foot of St Kilda keeper Remy Rey-Lescure and Orritt smacked the rebound which Keegan Ziada got a foot to deflecting it into goal. Two minutes into the second half St Kilda failed to clear an Orritt cross and Ziada was allowed to take four touches inside the area before slamming home a low strike from 10 metres. Substitute Curtis Hutson combined with Andre Bennett in the 83rd minute with Hutson’s far post cross headed back into the goalmouth by Orritt and Etheridge buried his close-range shot to make it 3-0. It was a stroll for the home side now and Etheridge struck again in the 89th minute after being sent clear by Hutson.

minute and Knox City’s scorers were Mathew Hames (2), Grant Lane, Koray Suat and Josh Calle. Jeran Cerik opened the scoring for Old Scotch in the 8th minute and a back post header from Kurt Wagner-Goldsworthy in the 50th minute made it 1-1. But four minutes later Sam Shearer made it 2-1 and substitute Ryan Hughes was only on the pitch for two minutes before rounding off the scoreline in the 67th minute. Pines’ substitute Will O’Brien was given a straight red card in injury time for abusive language. In State 3 South-East news Skye climbed into second place after a comfortable 3-0 away win at Dingley. The club went into the clash without top scorer Caleb Nicholes who was suspended. The first half was a battle on a poor pitch and Skye’s best chance came five minutes from half-time when Cam Leopold’s free-kick found Daniel Attard whose effort struck the crossbar. The second half was dominated by Skye and a 10-minute goal spree kicked off in the 53rd minute when stand-in skipper Jason Nowakowski got on the end of a John Andrinopoulos cross and finished well to give Skye the lead. In the 60th minute, Skye doubled its lead when Attard’s header came back off the post and Nowakowski tapped in from close range for his second. Attard got on the scoresheet a couple of minutes later when he hammered home a loose ball in the box following a Mitch Blake cross. Skye faces relegation-threatened Noble Park United at home next weekend in the Chris Attard memorial round.

Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United lost 2-1 at home to Whitehorse United last weekend. Jet Fisher pounced on a goalkeeping error from Seaford’s Jimmy Zafiriou in the 29th minute to open the scoring. Referee Mike Zha awarded a controversial penalty to Whitehorse United in the 42nd minute after what looked like a good tackle by Tristan Stass and Nham Than gave the visitors a 2-0 half-time lead. Seaford huffed and puffed in the second period but the best it could come up with was a Dylan Waugh consolation goal in the 93rd minute. In State 4 South news Baxter had to settle for a point away from home after its 1-1 draw with Noble Park last Saturday. Baxter coach Francis Beck was in goal as regular custodian James Foster was on holiday but Beck was given no chance when Alessandro Stazio volleyed home in the 32nd minute. Former Chelsea and Peninsula Strikers wide midfielder Adrian Pace made his Baxter debut and equalised in the 41st minute when an attempted clearance cannoned off him and into goal. Both sides created chances in the second half but couldn’t take them. In State 5 South news Aspendale tuned up for this weekend’s clash with Somerville Eagles with a 3-0 home win over more fancied Pakenham United last Saturday. Domenic Paul opened the scoring in the 6th minute, Alex Apostolopoulus gave Aspendale a two-goal cushion in the 25th minute and a second from Paul in the 38th minute had the home team in control at the break. The second half was marred by two send-offs with Aspendale’s Dylan Lansford-Povey sent off in the 79th minute and being joined on the sideline by Pakenham substitute Garry Mousaco in the 85th minute. Aspendale’s best were Paul, Sam Timuska-Carr and Pal Calvino.

Breakers host New Zealand visitors BASKETBALL
THE Mornington Breakers played host last Friday to visiting side Franklin Basketball, based in Auckland, New Zealand. The Breakers Under 16s Girls and their Under 14, 16, and 18 Boys sides played off in a series of one-off matches against Franklin Basketball at Mornington Basketball Stadium. One of the highlights of the visit to Mornington was the pre-match Haka performed by Franklin Basketball. In Big V action, the Mornington Breakers Division Two Women’s side had mixed fortunes, bouncing back from a tough loss (45-62) against Blackburn Vikings with a big win over the Coburg Giants this Saturday. The Breakers were completely dominant in their victory over Coburg, with a stunning second quarter in which they outscored the Giants 22-9 setting the tone for a strong win. Fiona Darnell put on a stunning performance for the winning Breakers, dropping 28 points and claiming an astonishing 17 rebounds in a standout performance. Ashleigh Wright also contributed with a handy 17 points of her own, shooting at 57 percent efficiency as her side claimed the win (85-47). Their recent mixed results sees the Breakers stranded in seventh place, but they face the prospect of dropping lower given the fact they have three games in hand over eighth-placed Melton. In Division One Men’s competition, the Chelsea Gulls extended their win-

ning run to a whopping 11 matches with a pair of stunning victories over Latrobe City Energy and Geelong Supercats. The top of the table Gulls were always expected to win against lastplaced Latrobe City, but it was the manner in which they beat them that was most impressive. The Gulls were ruthless in claiming a win in a completely one-sided match (105-59). The standout performers for the Gulls were Matthew Brasser and Mitchell Riggs, who scored 25 and 30
points respectively. Kieran McQueen also contributed with 10 rebounds. The Gulls backed up that win with another strong performance against the Geelong Supercats, as they travelled to Geelong Arena and ground out a hard-fought win (91-109). Matthew Brasser again impressed with 26 points, while Corey Standerfer also played a big part, dropping 24 points of his own. The wins see the Gulls solidify their place on top of the table, two wins ahead of Shepparton Gators. The Gulls’ Division One rival
Western Port Steelers slipped up last weekend, falling at home to Warrnambool Seahawks. The Steelers were put on the back foot early and went into the half-time break 19 points behind. Although they fought back harder in the second half, they eventually fell short and succumbed to the Seahawks (71-82). Dylan Travis did his best to help his side to a win with 26 points, but it was the Seahawks’ Xavier Blount who proved the difference with a massive 33 point game. The Steelers remain in fourth place,
but the Seahawks are hot on their heels in fifth place. In Division Two Men’s, the Southern Peninsula Sharks have got their season back on track by claiming three more wins to stretch their winning streak to four. Last weekend the Sharks put on one of their best performances of the season, as they dispatched fifth-placed Mildura Heat with ease. Despite the two sides appearing even on paper, the Sharks dominated from the outset, and eventually breezed to a (92-48) win. The Sharks followed that result up with two narrow wins, the first being over the Altona Gators last Sunday. The Sharks travelled to Altona and got things off to a positive start by taking a seven-point lead into the first break. Although Altona battled hard, they couldn’t close the gap with the score finishing (65-73). The Sharks this Saturday secured another big result with a huge win over the second place Craigieburn Eagles. The game was an even contest all throughout the night, with the margin standing at just two points in the Eagles’ favour at the three-quarter time break. Despite having to come from behind, the Sharks eventually wrestled back the lead and held on to claim an impressive (94-89) win. The best performer for the Sharks was Corey Bond, who sunk 29 points in a game-winning performance.
