Callous thieves steal junior football jumpers Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A JUNIOR football club has been left devastated after heartless thieves stole their brand new jumpers. Sometime between 17 June and
20 June, unknown offenders broke into the Seaford Junior Football Club home ground on East Road. They broke into a storage room and stole boxes containing brand new jumpers and footballs. The total value of the stolen items was over $3000. Victoria Police Detective Senior
Constable Ashleigh Sanders said “the items stolen during this burglary are mostly useless to anyone else and the club are devastated after all they have been through over the last 18 months.” “The junior club have only returned to matches last weekend, after being unable to play during the pandemic
and the club is solely run by volunteers, most of whom are parents of the under 14s team who has been personally affected,” she said. “The stolen items were purchased by the club for the upcoming season, and we would really like to locate them and return them to the club and the children.”
The stolen footballs are size four and five, with Sherrin and Ross Faulkner branding. The guernseys are black and yellow, and have SJFC on the back of the collars. Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Capturing life during lockdown PHOTOS which capture life as it was in 2020 are being displayed as part of Frankston Art Centre’s This Time Last Year online exhibition. Jenny Rusby’s collection The Year We Stayed at Home explores the importance of family and connection during a year in which everyone was kept apart. “The aim of The Year We Stayed Home was to capture that closeness at home, where we spent so much time, so we can remember that unique time together,” Ms Rusby said. “Families were gifted the sessions for free in exchange to committing to do at least one act of kindness to pay it forward into the community. It’s my hope that you’ll look back at these portraits in the years to come and remember that year, The Year We Stayed Home. Remember how difficult it was, yet how communities came together to get through it, how families were given the opportunity to stop what they were doing and spend quality time together. To remember that closeness we felt in our homes.” All Dressed Up, Nowhere to Go by Lisa Atkinson is a series which captures moments of glamour in lockdown. “Not long after the start of the COVID-19 lockdowns in April 2020, what started as a fun little idea for socially distant photoshoots among a small group of close friends, turned into a large scale photographic project, All Dressed Up, Nowhere to Go,” Ms Atkinson said. “As word of mouth spread through friends and social media shares, I ended up photographing over 70 fabulous
women and one man over two months, with each subject getting all glammed up to venture no further than their driveways. The brief to each participant was simple – go as glam as possible, get creative with your theme and how it relates to your world in lockdown, and most of all, have fun.“ To see the exhibitions visit youtube. com/user/FrankstonArtsCentre

Arts Centre reopens THE Frankston Arts Centre has reopened after the latest COVID-19 shutdown. The stage will once again fill up with talented performers. Audience members will have to wear masks, and cannot consume food or drinks in their seats. Frankston Council arts and culture manager Andrew Moon said some shows have been unable to be rescheduled, but that negotiations have continued to find dates for other shows. “If there is a silver lining to this lockdown it is that we have done this before and can quickly assess, communicate and reschedule,” he said. “Each lockdown has a significant impact on
the industry, financially and emotionally, however we also know that our performers, event organisers and audiences miss the theatre as much as we do. We are confident they will once again return with enthusiasm. “The HATCH Workshop Series for Artists continues with Writing Life, Writing Self on Thursday 22 July as emerging and established makers learn about finding an authentic voice to tell personal stories. The magician Cosentino returns on Saturday 10 July with his Deception Tour which features magic, illusion and escape.” To see what’s on at the Frankston Arts centre visit thefac.com.au or phone 9784 1060.

Clear path for level crossing free travel CONSTRUCTION work to remove two more Frankston line level crossings will begin soon. Level crossings at Glen Huntly Road and Neerim Road will be removed by lowering the line into a trench. Once the level crossing removal project is complete, the Frankston Line will be level crossing free between Flinders Street and Moorabbin Station. The boom gates are expected to be gone by 2023. Designs of the new Glenhuntly Station on the Frankston line were released last week. Work on the station is expected to start shortly. The state government says that since 2016, 10 pedestrians have been involved in near-misses at the Glen Huntly Road level crossing. Victorian transport infrastructure minister Jacinta Allan said “our massive investment in the Frankston line is connecting Victorians to jobs, health services, education and delivering new places for them to potentially live.” State MP Nina Taylor said the new station design is “the result of thorough community consultation and will greatly improve the area by better connecting the station to the local shopping strip and in turn revitalising the heart of the suburb.” The state government plans to remove 18 level crossings on the Frankston line, constructing 12 new stations during the process.

Last year’s grand finalist Troy Cullen will be fighting for his place in the final again.
A CAUTIONARY tale of the harmful effects of gambling has been penned by an Edithvale playwright. Kieran Carroll has devised the play Enough is Enough. The story follows four gambling addicts whose lives start to unravel. The play is set around a bayside hotel with pokies, which does not shut until 5am. Gambling drives one towards criminal activity, another to counselling, another to illness, and another to grief. A bar worker observes the gamblers and watches their lives fall apart. Members of the community have helped put the play together by contributing their own stories. The performance concludes with a message from Alliance for Gambling Reform chief advocate Tim Costello AO. He will discuss the impact of gambling, and potential reforms. Gamblers in the Kingston local government area lose tens of millions of dollars playing pokies every year. Enough is Enough will debut at Chelsea Activity Hub in Chelsea on Sunday 18 July at 2:30pm, and Shirley Burke Theatre, Parkdale, Thursday 22 July at 7:30pm.

Project to track children’s wellbeing issues including asthma and obesity to name a few. Dr Ford is Clinical Director for Women’s Health at Peninsula Health. He’s helped to facilitate the program’s launch at Frankston Hospital. “The study collects a whole bunch of what we call ‘demographic data’ which is just about family, what they do, where they live, their socio-economic status, their smoking status, the genetic information from the parents and the child,” Dr Ford said. Mrs Ford is a primary school teacher who’s having a break from the profession to now be a recruiter for GenV. Her job is to approach families on the maternity ward once their baby has been born, and to sign them up with GenV. The parents’ and newborn’s data are safely and securely
By Joseph Misuraca A MOUNT Eliza couple is working with a new statewide health initiative to track and improve children’s wellbeing. Dr Jolyon Ford and his wife Jo Ford are a Mount Eliza couple working at Peninsula Health with a new statewide health initiative called ‘GenV’. The program is designed to track Victorian babies born between 2020-2022. Its goal, according to the GenV website, is to achieve “a better approach to child health, development and wellbeing in Victoria”. It’s a voluntary program, and one of the largest of its kind. The research study is being carried out by the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute at the Royal Children’s Hospital. It will address numerous
de-identified. Over the past 25 years of teaching, Mrs Ford has noticed the amount of children with health problems has increased dramatically. “When I started teaching 25 years ago, and I would get my class list, there might be a couple of children that had certain conditions,” Mrs Ford said. “But now, when you get a class list, there are so many children that are flagged for a variety of reasons.” Dr Ford said GenV will give researchers information about the causes of various health conditions so they can help the current adult population, not just future generations. GenV will soon be launched at Bay’s Hospital and Peninsula Private. Find out more about GenV at genv. org.au

‘Perfect storm’ leaves renters in the cold REAL estate agent Elaine Bourke says a shortage of rental properties on the Mornington Peninsula is exacerbating homelessness. Picture: Yanni
Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au A COMBINATION of factors is making it harder for prospective renters on the Mornington Peninsula to find suitable homes to live in long term. Anecdotally, the shortage of medium-and-long-term rentals is being caused by landlords taking advantage of the money to be gained from shortstay rentals, such as AirBNB, where they can make as much over a few weekends as over the long-term, and then have the flexibility of using their property when they choose. Also, as a result of changed habits due to the COVID pandemic, holiday home owners are moving to the peninsula and working from home, while landlords, disgruntled at wholesale rule changes imposed by the new Residential Tenancies Regulations, are saying “enough is enough” and moving into their investment properties themselves. Other landlords are taking advantage of booming property prices caused, in part, by low interest rates, and selling in a “hot” market. This “perfect storm” of events is resulting in fewer properties being available to rent which may change the make-up of the peninsula’s population with fewer families, fewer school-age children and less variety among age groups. It could also lead to an increase in homelessness. Mornington Peninsula councillor Susan Bissinger said discussions with residents and comments on social media pointed to a “crisis” in accommodation for medium-to-long-term renters. “I received a text from someone I
know who is being evicted from their long-term rental and has exhausted all other avenues in finding a new home,” she said. “These families make up a significant part of our community, with kids enrolled in school, involved in sporting clubs, working in the area. “When you add these points together, it is no wonder that our medium to long term rental market is at crisis point.” Century 21 Hastings principal Chris Watt said landlords were “leaving the building” and taking rental properties with them. He said the “hot” property market made it an ideal time to sell and avoid the new tenancy laws which some landlords believed tilted
the balance too much in the tenant’s favour. Mr Watt said this was leading to a rental property shortage which in turn was pushing up rents. Landlords in the town are taking advantage of capital gains of up to $100,000 over the past two years by selling rather that going to the trouble of complying with the new tenancy regulations – which came into effect in March – and having to improve the property before it can be re-let. Adding impetus is the knowledge that the share market is going gangbusters and shares, with their added flexibility, can be sold in small parcels whereas properties cannot. Also, many former rental properties
are being snapped up by now-owneroccupiers taking advantage of low interest rates. Renters are not in the race. Peninsula Property Management director Elaine Bourke said the scenario of profitable Airbnbs, former landlords moving into their properties, or selling out in a vibrant market while avoiding tough tenancy rules, were “exactly what is happening” on the Mornington Peninsula. She said the effect was devastating for renters and causing a massive shortfall in available properties. “We’ve got families with nowhere to live,” she said. Ms Bourke said the state government “didn’t think through” the
effects of comprehensive changes to the residential tenancies regulations which impose audits on properties covering items such as gas, electricity and smoke alarms, even cookers and heaters. The audits are costing the average landlord $700. “These audits are not imposed on owner-occupiers or if they rent their properties out on Airbnb,” she said. “There was not enough consultation with mum-and-dad landlords who own a property and have a mortgage on it. The changes are a burden and are unreasonable.” Ms Bourke said the effects of the shortages in rental properties caused by the “perfect storm” had stripped value from her – and other real estate agents – businesses on the peninsula because they had fewer properties to let. “It’s extraordinary,” she said. “The effect on small business has been devastating.” Jacobs & Lowe Real Estate director Cameron McDonald said the rental median had gone up after a lag caused by the pandemic last year, while fewer properties for lease had exacerbated the rent rises. Changes to the tenancy laws were deterring investors and making them “gun shy” of buying properties to rent with the flow-on effect making long-term rentals – especially older properties – harder to find, he said.
Shire backs zero carbon future Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au
MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire Council went further down the track towards a zero-carbon future last week by voting to explore only net zero carbon design in shire buildings – meaning new buildings would ideally produce no emissions. Councillors at the 15 June planning services committee meeting moved to join others on the Council
for Alliance of Sustainable Built Environment project to “advance environmentally sustainable development planning policies to achieve net zero carbon and climate resilience development”. This means any new buildings should be designed to be highly energy efficient and to not use gas or coal-fired electricity through having a combination of rooftop solar and buying off-site renewable energy. This project is supported by the Municipal Association of Victoria
and driven by the Council for Alliance of Sustainable Built Environment and the cities of Moreland and Yarra. It builds on previous work by CASBE and other councils over the past decade in raising environmental standards in public and private built form, a shire statement said. “This is another major step that supports our Climate Emergency Plan,” the mayor Cr Despi O’Connor said. “This plan was adopted in the last council term and supports calls from our community to take action
against climate change. “The plan also requires new council builds to be fitted with electrical appliances powered by renewables and looks to transition our community to renewable energy, not buying it or subsidising it for them, but advocating on their behalf. It also supports the facilitation of competitive offers to encourage community uptake of solar panels, and electrical equipment to replace gas appliances, if they choose that path.” Cr O’Connor said while gas was
being used to heat the new council pool in Besgrove Street, Rosebud, no alternative heat source was presently available. Future refits may be able to exploit advances in water heating technology to complement the full set of solar panels on the roof, she said. But Cr Steve Holland said he was “very concerned that many residents are not aware of the shire’s target to phase out all natural gas across the entire Mornington Peninsula by 2040”.

Information sessions soon on stabling Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au
PROTESTERS at the proposed stabling site in Heatherton earlier this year. Picture: Supplied
THE former landfill site on Old Dandenong Road in Heatherton looks destined to become the future home of train stabling for the suburban rail loop. Kingston Council had made queries into whether other sites would be considered for stabling by the state government. It has since confirmed to council that only the Heatherton site will be assessed as part of the Environment Effects Statement hearings. Kingston Council had earmarked the site at 91-185 Kingston Road for a new regional sporting facility. The move to put train stabling on the Delta site in Heatherton has sparked protests and uproar (“Stabling plans spark protest”, The Times, 17/3/21). It is understood that the state government looked at other sites, but did not proceed with them due to size and constructability issues. The state government confirmed the Heatherton Delta landfill site as its preferred location for stabling in December last year. Government spokeswoman Hayley Bester told The Times “among all of the various options considered, the Heatherton location requires the least acquisition of homes and businesses and it will deliver 200 local jobs.” “We’ve gathered a lot of feedback from local residents in recent months and will be holding drop-in community information sessions across the project, including in Heatherton, from
ed at EES, we will be working hard to make sure all the potential impacts of this decision are presented through the process as well.” Kingston Council has listed “permanent noise as a result of the train stabling, including years of construction noise and then ongoing 24/7 train stabling and maintenance noise, dust, dirt, and vibrations during the construction phase, around the clock light from the stabling yard to dramatically reduce liveability of the area, the use of Kingston’s Green Wedge for industrial purposes, the impact on the future of the Sandbelt Open Space Chain of Parks project, the loss of a site long earmarked for an important regional sportsground, and the permanent closure of Old Dandenong Road between Heatherton Road and the Henry Street Trail” as its concerns about the proposal. When complete, the suburban rail loop will link every major rail line from Frankston to Werribee.
this weekend,” she said. “Suburban Rail Loop needs train stabling to run a turn-up-go network – we will continue working with the community to minimise its potential impact, including screening, landscaping and enhancing some of the surrounding reserves.” In a statement, Kingston Council said it would make a submission during the EES process “on behalf of the community” “Council has assembled a high-cal-
ibre team of legal, environmental and planning consultant experts to inform and support our advocacy through the EES process on behalf of the community,” the statement read. “This includes the appointment of technical experts to assist council in the fields of traffic and transport, urban design, landscape architecture, arboriculture, ecology, noise and vibration, groundwater, and ground movement.” Community information sessions about the suburban rail loop project
are expected to be held between Cheltenham and Box Hill. Heatherton Christian College will host at least one session. Kingston councillor Hadi Saab said “the Victorian government’s decision to proceed with the Delta site will have a significant impact on the surrounding communities as well as on our long-held vision for the Sandbelt Open Space Chain of Parks. Now we have been told only one site is to be present-

Bringing birds to life through paintings By Joseph Misuraca A RETIRED surgeon used his time in Victoria’s lockdowns to paint birds – 270 of them. David Freedman, 76, of Mount Martha, has included 240 of the paintings in a book, Australia’s Birds, which he co-wrote with stepbrother Richard Steele. The 2019-20 bushfires forced a variety of birds to flock to Melbourne’s fringes, including Mr Freedman’s property in Mount Martha. “Some eastern rosellas started nesting in a bird box for the first time,” he said. This prompted him to begin painting birds in June last year. With all these paintings completed, he developed the idea of creating a book. The only problem was he didn’t know much about birds and wanted the book to include text, not just images. He discovered through his stepsister that his stepbrother, whom he hadn’t seen in over 60 years, knew a lot about birds and could write well. Mr Freedman also managed to contact Robin Hill, an Australian ex-pat who lives in the US, and is considered America’s finest ornithological painter and naturalist. Mr Hill was impressed by Mr Freedman’s work and agreed to write the foreword. “It’s a book illustrated by an Aussie, text by an Aussie, designed by an Aussie, and printed in Australia by an Aussie, and I’m very proud of it,” Mr Freedman said. As a surgeon, Mr Freedman performed 30,000 operations. It was his first passion and painting was his second. Now painting is his first passion. “I’ve pursued the painting with the same energy that I put into being a surgeon,” Mr Freedman said. “I think that because you’re old, you shouldn’t give up challenging yourself: that’s my philosophy. Keep going until you can’t do it anymore.” He said the reason why he produced the book was to remind everyone to be proud of our birds because they’re a “wonderful resource”. Australia’s Birds by David Freedman and Richard Steele with a foreword by Robin Hill is available at davidfreedmanart.com.au for $99 plus postage and handling.

OBITUARY
A life of caring for family, environment Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au WELLWISHERS filled Baden Powell Park Scout Hall last month to mark the passing of Mount Eliza resident John Scholes. The dedicated civil engineer and environmentalist was remembered by wife Ann as a “gentle man of measured words, deep-thought and boundless practical skills”. Theirs was a life of family, Scouting, travel and care for the environment – all things dear to Mr Scholes’ heart. The couple met at RMIT in 1968 where he was studying chemical engineering and married at St James the Less Church, Mount Eliza, on the day of Gough Whitlam’s election in 1972. Their wedding breakfast was held in a marquee in Ann’s parents’ garden at Mount Martha. Three years later the couple moved into Roborough Avenue, Mount Eliza, where they lived amid bushland for 44 years. “This home, part of a Merchant Builders Estate, was to provide many challenges: living on a steep slope with limited flat living areas and gravel toppings which ended up in the creek, lack of storage, and sited to fulfil aesthetic needs rather than control of heat,” Ann said. “All these problems were, over time, mitigated or solved by John. Control of our weed infested bushland also proved problematic. However, John built paths, steps and a boardwalk which eventually enabled me to access and control weeds and promote the growth of its indigenous habitats.” As a young engineer in 1972 Mr Scholes joined the Dandenong Valley Authority and headed up a pollution control section in what he discovered was a conservative engineering culture, where the emphasis was on drainage and flooding. He set about changing this attitude by leading a talented team to control and mitigate

the effects of pollution within the wider scope of farsighted environmental management. It was a time of change: working under the then-new Environment Protection Act Mr Scholes and his team focused on the care and sustainability of waterways and wetland environments using a progressive approach that would become widely adopted only years later. He led the protection and rehabilitation of the Edithvale and Seaford Wetlands which were later given Ramsar-Status and the only urban wetlands to be so recognised. He chaired the community based management group for many years and produced promotional material and was a member of the Victorian Wetlands Trust until it was wound up. Ann recalled: “In 1992, the DVA published a
booklet, Edithvale – Seaford Wetlands. John put an enormous amount of time into this publication and, in particular, the bird sketches.” His creativity solved issues around the foul smelling Kananook Creek and poor tidal exchange at Patterson Lakes through development of a pumping station. Frankston has benefited since. Through his persistence the DVA came to value waterways as assets – not just drains – allowing it to become conservation-minded and environmentally-focused long before it became vogue. He left in 1991 “having achieved some incredible outcomes – many that survive to today”. Many of Mr Scholes’ DVA colleagues were present at his funeral “out of respect for his good nature, fairness, vision and professional approach”. Mr Scholes had a family connection to the Baden Powell Park Scout group over 30 years as a leader, secretary and project manager designing and managing the extension of the Scouts Den, renovation of kitchens and bathrooms, roof raising and construction of the gallery which is named in his honour. He joined as a Cub Scout leader in 1992 when children Emily became a Scout and Richard, a Cub. Ann joined as Assistant Group Leader. “The whole family embraced our group and it was not long before the Scholes name appeared on the honour board with Emily becoming the first girl at BPP to become a Queen’s Scout,” leader Mike Beadle said. Mr Scholes, who had achieved the same honour in 1963 at 4th Malvern Scouts, went on to be recognised by Scouts Australia, including receiving a Distinguished Service Award in 2015. “John was always extremely generous, giving many hours of his time to developing Scouting in our group,” Mr Beadle said.
As secretary, Mr Scholes organised and documented committee meetings, oversaw and planned for continuous improvement of the group’s facilities, and pursued sponsorship and donations – including acquisition and refurbishment of four second-hand Pacer yachts for the Scouts. “John’s attention to detail meant everything he did was done properly and precisely,” Mr Beadle said. “From the installation of the water filtration system to the painting of the compass on this floor, all of John’s works were masterpieces.” Ann and John researched the history of the 1935 Australian Jamboree at Frankston. Their collection of memorabilia and detail from the event is on the group’s website. Mr Scholes, who for many years was a member of the Mount Eliza Foreshore Advisory Group, led efforts to revegetate native bushland at the scout halls. His design of the beach erosion barrier, which absorbs the energy from the waves, has drawn praise from many, including politicians and cultural heritage and conservation groups. (“Scouts build barrier to ‘save’ beach” The Times 1/7/19). “All of us at BPP have been extremely privileged to have had John with us as such a key member of our group. His enormous commitment to Scouting has left its mark firmly in the fabric of the Baden Powell Park Scout Group,” Mr Beadle said. Ann Scholes said daughter Emily’s completion of her PhD on waste water treatment “was for John, who had spent most of his working life in the water industry, an enormous achievement”. She thanked the Peninsula Home Hospice and Alfred Care, with “their wonderful nurses, who enabled us to keep John home to the end”. “Our tragic loss has renewed my faith in human nature,” she said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Pony falls down a well in Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough LAST Sunday, a pony, the property of Mr Bennett, fell down a narrow well at “Cleveden,” Kars Street, but, fortunately, the pony was rescued by a number of willing workers. It is not known how long the animal had been in the well before it was discovered, but he was down about 10 feet, with his head just out of the water. The pony is not much the worse for its adventure. *** VISIBLE expression of recognising the birthday of our beloved Prince was conspicuous by its absence on the 23rd inst. The heads of the two State institutions (State School and Savings Bank), however, thought it worthy of notice and thoughtfully raised a flag in honor of the event. This time last year the Prince of Wales was with us and signs of loyalty to the Throne and Heir Apparent were not wanting, but on this birthday he seems to have been forgotten. Where were the town flags? *** A FULL attendance is requested at the monthly meeting of the Frankston Progress Association to be held on Tuesday evening next. *** THE Frankston Fire Brigade, under Captain D. Petrie, turned out in full strength for the inspection by Chief Officer Marshall last Monday evening. A detailed report will be published next week. ***

IN aid of the Royal Victorian Blind Institute, Miss Dorathea Macmaster has consented to give, in the Mechanics Institute, Frankston, a recital on the lines of one she gave with marked success in the Melbourne Athenaeum a few weeks ago. Miss Macmaster will be supported by students from various parts of Victoria, whom she is training for the concert platform at her rooms in Melbourne. Fuller particulars will be published later, the present notice is merely intended as an invitation to supporters of the Institute to keep the 19th of July free, and, if they have any leisure for the undertaking, to place themselves in touch with Miss Macmaster, who is arranging to devote Wednesdays and Saturdays to advanced pupils from different parts of the Peninsula, may be seen re the recital on those days at Balmoral House, Frankston. *** AN important meeting of the Somerville Branch of the Teachers’ Union was held at Frankston on Wednesday evening, when the President (Mr S. Uren) occupied the chair. This was an experimental meeting under the suggested scheme for movable meetings. Judging by the increased attendance, the keen interest taken in all matters brought forward, and the amount of business transacted, the success of the movement is already assured. Mr Jennings was unanimously elected vice president. It was agreed, on the motion of Mr Jennings and Miss Pearce, that the next meeting should be held at Hast-
ings on 10th July. The matter of superannuation was then discussed, when Messrs McConville and Jennings, Misses Fulton, Armstrong and Cole spoke in favor of the scheme by which the Public Servants and the Government subscribe to the fund. It was pointed out that Victoria was the only State in Australia that had not a Superannuation Fund for the State Public Servants. It was decided to request the Union to bring the matter at once before the Cabinet. It was further resolved, on the motion of Mr Jennings and Miss Guan, to invite Mr Braithwaite (President of the Teachers’ Union) to Frankston to give an address. Misses McFarlane and Gale considered that the meeting should do something to provide social functions for members, and proposed that a series of tennis matches be arranged amongst teachers. This was agreed to. At the close of the meeting Mr Jennings and his staff provided suppers which was much appreciated by all, but especially by those who had driven in from remote schools. *** Darcy Eccles, who escaped from French Island, as reported in “The Standard” last issue, appeared at the Melbourne City Court on June 16, when he was charged with having escaped from legal custody. The alleged offence was committed on May 7th, 1918, when accused was detained at the McLeod Settlement Reformatory, French Island, having been admitted three days previously.
He had been convicted of robbery in company, and sentenced to 2½years imprisonment. He pleaded guilty, and was committed for trial at the General Sessions on July 1st. *** AT the present time, Bittern presents a busy appearance, for the construction of the new railway to Red Hill has brought a large number of men into the district. A great deal of timber and material is stored at the local railway station. The season is decidedly promising and round about Coolart, Balnarring and Shoreham there are some fine lusty crops. But, in other ways, there are signs of progress here and the recent gymkhana proved an unqualified success. Bittern, thanks to the generosity of Mr Stacey has now a public hall, the building being secured from Langwarrin. *** THE Dromana Presbyterian Church was the scene of a quiet but pretty wedding on June 10th, when Miss Maude Cairns, of Boneo, was married to Mr Albert White, of Dromana. The bride was charmingly attired, and looked very beautiful. Her attendants were Misses Lily White and Jean Cairns, whilst Mr Chas Cairns acted as best man. The happy couple were motored to Frankston, where they caught the train for Healesville, where the ‘moon was spent. *** Cable Pianos A SPLENDID specimen of these Fa-
mous Pianos, specially fitted to stand the action of a seaside climate, has been sent to Frankston by Sutton Pty Ltd and may be seen on application at BAY Estate AGENCY opp the station. £145 cash or terms arranged. World famous for tone and durability. *** Letter to the Editor Sir, I have been travelling daily for the last twenty years on the Victorian railways, and recently I had occasion to visit Hastings. On the return trip we were supposed to leave Hastings at 3.58pm. We left long after 5pm, arriving at Baxter shortly before 6pm, where we were supposed to connect with the Mornington train. Needless to state, this train did not wait for us, and we were left to stand about on the platform – a cold winter night – until 7.30pm, when a train was drawn up to the platform. This train did not contain a solitary light, and we were forced to sit in darkness until we reached Frankston, where we were glad to avail ourselves of hot tea and scones. The remainder of the journey was accomplished in lit carriages, and we were glad to reach Flinders Street at 10pm. Fancy six hours to cover 40 miles! One naturally is curious to know what is the use of time tables if the trains cannot be run on time. Yours, etc., E. WILSON. *** FROM the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 24 June 1921

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
On Existentialism and Eastlink By Stuart McCullough IT’S a weird time. For whatever reason, my nerves are heightened, senses sharpened. I don’t know if it’s that we’re now in the second year of the pandemic or some kind of mid-life crisis, but I’m starting to see things a little differently. It began, somewhat unexpectedly, on Eastlink. Generally speaking, I’m not one for experiencing a philosophical flashpoint while charging down a major commuter expressway, but it wasn’t something I chose. Rather, it seemed to choose me. I was driving to my brother’s when I saw it: a large flashing sign hanging above the road. In no uncertain terms, it explained that the right lane was strictly for overtaking and that, if not overtaking, you should remain in the left lane. The message was put clearly and with great economy. Namely, venture into the right hand lane only if you plan to overtake. Otherwise, remain in the left lane. At this particular point of Eastlink, there are three lanes. While the purpose of lanes one and three had been made crystal clear, the circumstances under which you were permitted to utilize lane number two were a mystery. That’s not to say that lane two was empty. Far from it. There were all kinds of vehicles traversing the nopurpose lane, unaware of their status as visitors to a world without status or recognition. They were, in effect, cruising along in an existential noman’s land, oblivious to the consequences. From the safety of the left lane, I wanted to sound my horn as a warning, but it was no use. These people were using the supernatural mys-
tery lane and nothing would change their minds. Given this absence of clarity, there ought to be warning. Perhaps a road sign that reads ‘Warning: Existential Crisis Ahead’. Usually such signs are accompanied by a stick figure of some sort to ram the point home. I feel that
those responsible for creating these stick figures often fail to get the level of recognition they so richly deserve. Within the genre of ‘road sign stick figures’ I’m quite fond of ‘beware of falling rocks’. I’m not sure how best to signify a spiritual flashpoint of this kind – perhaps a stick figure modelled
on Rodin’s ‘The Thinker’ would do the trick. It’s not the only challenge to the time, space and the cosmos that’s been troubling me this week. In between avoiding paranormal lane-changes, I’ve also been thinking about the bin in the kitchen a lot. Maybe too much. When I empty the bin, it remains empty for a day at most. Ninety percent of the time it appears full, even as further rubbish is added. This shouldn’t be possible. If the rate of input remains pretty much consistent, then this should simply not be so. Obviously, some of this waste is being transported to another dimension – possibly the second lane of Eastlink – where it bides its time, waiting for bin night. Keen for answers, I decided to try and Google my way out of my conundrum. In short order, I found myself on YouTube watching cat videos; when it occurred to me that people stopped referring to the internet as ‘the information superhighway’ probably about the same time as cat videos took over. Or, alternatively, the information superhighway has three lanes and they couldn’t figure out what the second lane was for and abandoned the idea altogether. But YouTube is a strange, mysterious place that is yet to be touched by the rules of western civilization. It was while I was there that I discovered ‘reaction’ videos. A reaction video is where someone films themselves listening to or watching something for the first time. We, the viewer, then get to watch them react. As best I can tell, no formal qualification is necessary. Note; to date no-one has created a
video of themselves reacting to a book they’re reading for the first time - presumably nobody’s interested in watching a reaction to ‘A Remembrance of Things Past’ by Marcel Proust. Or it’s not considered an efficient use of time. Not only do people make these videos; people generate income by making these videos. You can guess what happens next. These overseas video correspondents are bombarded with requests to react to things that – while incredibly popular here – are unknown in other countries. So it is that people end up reacting to Cold Chisel and John Farnham songs. Some presenters were clearly taken aback by the work of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The video of some dude in Florida reacting to ‘This Is Serious Mum’ is not one I’ll soon forget. Forget ever understanding how Eastlink works. Instead, I need to start filming reaction videos. And since it pays to specialize, my plan is to film myself reacting to other people’s reaction videos. Or, better yet, film myself reacting to footage of people driving in the second lane of Eastlink. To ensure that it goes viral, I’ll superimpose some footage of a kitten. With those crucial ingredients in place, success is all but guaranteed. Or maybe I should forget it completely and take these illconceived ideas and throw them in the bin that, although it appears full, won’t need emptying for another three or four days. It might be just me, but I suspect the last few weeks of social isolation have taken their toll(way). I’ll wait it out in the second lane. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

SUNSET SOUNDS COMING TO HASTINGS
MARGARET FULTON THE MUSICAL MARGARET Fulton - ‘the first lady of Australian food’ was born in Scotland in 1924, moving to Glen Innes, NSW with her family when she was just three years old. After her schooling years Margaret moved to Sydney to pursue her dream of becoming a cabaret performer, however she ended up living next door to a “lady” of the night and working in a nuts-andbolts factory, a job she couldn’t get away from quick enough and finally landing as a position as a cooking teacher at The Australian Gas Light Company. Her career as a food writer was soon to follow with work at Woman Magazine, Women’s Day and later New Idea. Margaret Fulton was widely credited with teaching Australian’s how to cook, reigning supreme on our country’s cooking scene, awarded an OAM in 1983 and later identified as a National Living Treasure. She released the Margaret Fulton Cookbook in 1968 which went on to sell more than 1.5 million copies. This book encouraged Australian housewives to experiment with more
interesting ingredients, straying from the old tradition of meat and three veg. Almost every Australian household owned a copy of this cookbook. Margaret passed away in regional NSW aged 94, in 2019. She was thrilled her life story had made it to the stage! ‘Margaret Fulton-The Musical’ follows her journey from humble beginnings to superstardom through theatre, dance and song. We witness her many business ventures, two failed marriages, her heartbreak and loss. Featuring an all “triple-threat” cast, with powerhouse Judy Hainsworth in the role of Margaret Fulton this musical is simply a recipe for success! ‘Margaret Fulton the Musical’ is coming to Frankston Arts Centre on Sunday 18 July.

She sold over 25 million albums and played to sellout concert houses right around the world. She even hosted her very own prime time series on U.S.Television. Then, all of a sudden, she lost it all.
In 2020, the feature film I am Woman brought some of Helen’s incredible life story to screens worldwide.

Pythons strike, Stonecats still on top DIVISION ONE
By Brodie Cowburn PINES upset Sorrento on Saturday to score what could be a season defining win. The Pythons have endured a difficult 2021. They came into the clash against the Sharks with just one win to their name for the season. Sorrento controlled the game for most of the day on their home deck. They led at each break of play, and took a 22 point lead into the final term. Pines didn’t give up though, and booted six goals in a final term blitz. The Pythons ended up clinching a thriller by just five points 11.8 (74) to 12.7 (79). Guy Hendry was Pines’ best. He kicked three goals. Brendan Barfoot also scored four for the Pythons. Pines now sit a game ahead of last place Edithvale–Aspendale, who fell to another defeat on the weekend. They lost to Frankston Bombers 14.19 (103) to 6.6 (42). Dromana claimed the points in a close one against Rosebud on Saturday. Just one goal was scored in a scrappy opening term, which set the tone for the rest of the game. Rosebud led by less than a goal at each break, but let it slip in the final quarter. Two last quarter goals saw Dromana get over the line 7.11 (53) to 7.7 (49). Billy Quigley was the Tigers’ best. Frankston YCW cemented their place on top of the ladder with a comfortable win over Mt Eliza. The Stonecats controlled proceedings from the beginning. They ended up running out 51 point winners 13.13 (91) to 6.4 (40). Matthew Troutbeck and Brenton Lambert kicked three goals each for the victors. Bonbeach rounded out the winner’s list with a 63 point victory over Red Hill. Owen Hulett was immense in his first senior game for the season. He kicked five goals.

Kangaroos’ strong run ends in huge upset
Devils and Tigerettes share the points
DIVISION TWO
SEWF PREMIERS
By Brodie Cowburn LANGWARRIN’S brilliant winning run came to an end at the hands of Somerville on Saturday. The Kangaroos have been outstanding in season 2021. Coming into the clash against Somerville they were undefeated. Somerville came to play on their home deck. They held narrow leads at each break, but the Kangaroos still threatened. Somerville held onto their lead in the final quarter, going on to win 14.11 (95) to 11.11 (77). Nicholas Mason, Mitchell Mantell, and Nathan Gillis were the best performers in the huge upset win. Despite the defeat, Langwarrin remain clear at the top of the ladder.

Karingal and Chelsea were an equal match at Ballam Park Reserve last weekend. Both sides ended up sharing the points after a thrilling game. The Bulls were the better side in the first half. They led by 23 at the main break. By three quarter time, the sides were level. Both sides traded blows in a tense final term, but when the final siren sounded both teams still couldn’t be separated. The final score read 9.7 (61) to 9.7 (61). Crib Point nearly grabbed their second win for the 2021 season on Saturday. After a spirited showing last week, the Magpies worked hard again against Pearcedale. Pearcedale raced out of the blocks with a three goals to zero first term.
The Magpies didn’t give up, and struck back with five goals of their own in the second term. Going into the final quarter, Crib Point trailed by nine. They held Pearcedale to just five behinds in the last quarter, but couldn’t get over the line. Pearcedale ended up winning 9.8 (62) to 9.6 (60). Miles Shepherd was the Magpies’ best. He converted four goals. Around the grounds Devon Meadows comfortably defeated Rye, 15.5 (95) to 8.11 (59), and Hastings got the best of Tyabb by 31 points. Seaford’s first game back at RF Miles Reserve didn’t go exactly to plan. They lost to Mornington 7.21 (63) to 15.9 (99).
By Brodie Cowburn THE Frankston Dolphins have their second win, claiming the points against Mornington in a hard fought battle last weekend. The Dolphins were coming off a difficult loss to Coburg the week prior. They lost by 10 goals in their season restart match. Frankston made amends with a gritty win at Skybus Stadium. They claimed victory 3.8 (26) to 1.1 (7). Seaford and Eastern Devils had to share the points after a fiercely contested match at RF Miles Reserve on Saturday night. The Devils took a narrow one goal lead into half time, but the Tigerettes hit back in the third term to snatch back the lead. The Devils squared things up
in the last quarter, but couldn’t ahead. The final siren blew with both sides level. The final score read 3.2 (20) apiece. Lauren Field booted two goals for Seaford. Michelle Podnecky and Samantha Ryan also impressed. Seaford were narrow victors over the St Kilda Sharks the previous week. The Sharks bounced back on Sunday, defeating the Coburg Lions. The Sharks emerged victorious by 35 points. The Lions struggled to hit the scoreboard. They managed just three behinds for the match. The Sharks won comfortably, the final scoreboard reading 4.14 (38) to 0.3 (3). Hayley Stanford was best on ground.

Ash Scholes signs for Rosebud SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie ROSEBUD player-coach Mark Pagliarulo was over-the-moon when he clinched the signing of Ash Scholes last week. “Pags” had been chasing the 27-year-old’s signature for some time and was close to signing him a few months ago. “I tried to get him at the beginning of the season but he wanted to stay loyal to Somerville but recently we spoke and he wasn’t enjoying it there so decided to come down,” Pagliarulo said on Friday. “He’s a massive signing for the club, a local lad and a top defender. “He’s a big boy, strong, good in the air and a good lad to have around the place, a very honest player who gives 100 per cent every week. “Massive thanks to Somerville for releasing him with no dramas as it wouldn’t have been easy losing one of their top players but they sorted it for us straight away so he could play this weekend.” Scholes is a former Rosebud Heart player. He’s been given the No 95 shirt, a humorous nod to his pace and a reference to Lightning McQueen in the animated Pixar film series “Cars”. Scholes had an excellent debut on Saturday as Rosebud defied the odds with a 3-1 away win over State 5 South promotion candidate Hampton Park United. The home side led after 32 minutes but Pagliarulo levelled two minutes later with a quickly taken free-kick. Just before half-time Dougie’s Cunnison’s ball across the face of goal was headed home by Iglia Malisan from close range to give Rosebud the lead at the interval. In the 58th minute a left-foot strike by Pagliarulo was parried by Hampton keeper Jack Lindsay but Callum Norton followed up to seal the deal for the visitors. Pagliarulo was delighted with Scholes’ performance and is looking forward to the return of Cal Richardson who is expected to train this week after taking a short break from the game. Slowly but surely Rosebud is building its senior squad and its player-coach has high ambitions. “Big Ash slotted in well and had a brilliant debut,” he said. “But the next two games are huge for this football club against Aspendale and Old Mentonians if we are to push for promotion this season.” In NPL2 Langwarrin left John Cain Reserve with all three points courtesy of a 2-1 win over Northcote City. A Tom Youngs penalty deep into injury time was the decider. Youngs had drawn the sides level earlier in the match with another penalty conversion after midfielder Rogan McGeorge was fouled inside the area. In State 1 Mornington had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Warragul United at Dallas Brooks Park last weekend. Josh Hine put the home side ahead in the 15th minute with a neat left-foot finish but a Henri Scott brace sent the visitors into the break with a 2-1 lead.

Josh Heaton grabbed the equaliser in the 55th minute when a Luke Goulding corner dropped at his feet and the big man slotted it into the far corner. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers’ away game on Friday night against Doncaster Rovers was postponed due to the state of the pitch. Strikers had planned to wear black armbands in memory of former player Alex Mooy who died early last week. Mooy was in his late 20s with an infant son. Older brother and Socceroo midfielder Aaron Mooy posted an emotional tribute on Instagram writing “… we will miss you everyday. I’m sorry I didn’t do more to help you … and now it’s too late.” Skye United lost 4-1 at home against Old Scotch on Saturday with Mark O’Connor scoring for Skye. In State 3 Frankston Pines’ momentum towards the title continued with a 2-1 away win over Elwood City. Sava Baledrokadroka and Alex Roberts scored for Pines. In State 4 Seaford overran Somerville Eagles 5-2 on Saturday at North Seaford Reserve with Seaford’s gun striker Dylan Waugh notching a hat-trick. Mitch Hawkins and Almand Thomas were Seaford’s other scorers while player-coach and exSeaford star Dave Greening replied for Somerville along with Michael Clark. Waugh is leading in the race for the league’s Golden Boot award with Greening in second place. Baxter recorded its biggest away win of the season last weekend when it thrashed FC Noble Hurricanes 4-0 thanks to a Nat Daher hat-trick and an own goal from Hurricanes’ Emmanuel Deiwal. The match marked the return to the starting lineup of Robbie O’Toole who was injured in the first few minutes of his only other appearance this season. That was against Hurricanes at Baxter Park in

late March. Chelsea had to switch Friday’s home fixture against Endeavour United to Saturday due to a floodlighting problem and lost 1-0. Chelsea’s Danny Graham was sent off in the 64th minute and the winner came 10 minutes later after multiple deflections in the box ended with an effective backheel from Endeavour’s Maqsod Mansuri. In State 5 Aspendale Stingrays hammered South East United 7-2 at Aspendale Gardens Sports Ground on Saturday. James Macnab (2), Adrian Pace (2), Elliott Stone, Hayden Nuhanovic and Kenan Nuhanovic scored for Aspendale. Mount Martha went down 4-3 at home against Bunyip District last weekend.
David Oswald, Neal Byrne and Thomas Faska scored for Mount Martha. In other news Endeavour Hills has withdrawn from the State 5 South competition. We were awaiting Football Victoria’s response but the protocol is to award 3-0 walkovers for Endeavour Hills fixtures. In FFA Cup news there are no local clubs left in the national competition after Langwarrin lost 3-1 to Moreland Zebras at CB Smith Reserve last week. The sides were locked together at 1-1 at halftime with Isiah Joseph scoring for Langy but a penalty in the 61st minute was converted by Josh Knight to put the home side ahead. Then two rapid fire cautions for Langy’s Sammy Orritt reduced the visitors to 10 men and David Cardamone completed the scoreline in the 74th minute.
