Recycling crisis hits ratepayers Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au RATEPAYERS across Frankston will cop an increase in charges for recycling in the wake of China banning almost all of recycling material previously sold to China from overseas. Any items with a plastics or paper component of just 0.5 per cent can no longer be sent to China as part of that country’s push to stop “foreign rubbish” imports.

Frankston Council expects the recycling charge will rise by 75 cents a week on a standard 240-litre recycling bin, a $38 increase annually for each household in the municipality. “Instead of being paid for product, councils are now being forced to pay recycling companies to take the product in the short term,” Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton said. Councils across Victoria will be forced to increase recycling charges as the China crisis begins to bite in

the recycling chain. The charge is separate to rates and is not capped under the Labor state government’s rate capping policy introduced in 2016. Rates are capped at a limit calculated using the consumer price index annual rise as a benchmark. Councils can apply to the Essential Services Commission for an exemption to increase rates above the cap in “exceptional circumstances”. Federal Environment Minister Josh

Autumn SALE

Frydenberg met state environment ministers in Melbourne on Friday (27 April) to discuss how Australia can avoid a recycling pile-up on its shores. Mr Frydenberg announced after the meeting the federal government will work with state governments to try to make almost all packaging reusable or compostable by 2025. Cr Hampton said: “The longer-term challenge is to further develop both an Australian recycling manufacturing industry and sustainable markets to use the

recycled material, therefore relying less on export markets. “Frankston City Council is working with the Victorian government to address this.” Council expects the annual cost of recycling across the Frankston municipality to rise by more than $2 million each year, forcing the rise in the recycling charge to households. The mayor said about 15,000 tonnes of recyclables is annually collected from kerbside bins.

Mayor pays own way on Japan visit Cats meow: Claire Johnson, left, and Jess Hast in cosplay costume will be selling cat ears at the Japanese Festival. Picture: Supplied

Taste of Japanese culture at festival THE compelling and powerful sound of Japanese drums the size of wine barrels is sure to capture attention at Frankston High School’s senior campus in Foot Street on Sunday (6 May). Taiko drumming group Wadaiko Rindo will be one of several highlights at the 2018 Japanese Festival, presented by Frankston Susono Friendship Association and designed to celebrate the sister city link as well as showcase Japanese culture. The festival, from 10am-4pm, marks the 36th year of the sister city link between Frankston City and Susono, a city of 53,000 people on Japan’s main island of Honshu. The event will be officially opened at 11am by Frankton mayor Cr Colin Hampton accompanied by friendship association chairman Peter Patterson, and a representative of the Japanese Consul-General’s office. Now held every two years, the festival won a Sister Cities Australia national award for the 2016 event, and coorganiser Mr Patterson said this year’s festival would be even better, “a fantastic day of Japanese culture, music, food, activities, children’s games and entertainment”.

“We provide hands-on experiences for both children and adults,” Mr Patterson said. “There will be workshops for people to make Kyaraben, Japanese character lunch boxes, as well as kite making, origami, yo-yo balloons, mask colouring, hat making, fan colouring and other paper craft activities.” He said other highlights would include a Beyblade (spinning tops) tournament, an Okinawan Sanshin band playing ancient stringed instruments, Okinawan-style singers, and prizes and giveaways. Stalls will sell Nekomimi Mode cat ears and other products, Have A Nice Day goods handmade from Japanese materials, homemade Japanese sauces, and Harajuku sweet and savoury pancakes. Frankston High students and teachers who will visit Japan in September will be selling a variety of sushi rolls and drinks. Entry $2 a person or $5 a family.

A POTENTIAL loss of “honour” between Frankston and Japan has been avoided after council’s mayor decided to pay for a trip to Frankston sister city Susono out of his own pocket. Some councillors at the 3 April public council meeting expressed concerns about the cost to ratepayers of the mayor’s proposed trip to the Australian Fair in Susono in September. A delegation from the Frankston Susono Friendship Association heads to Japan every second year and Japanese visitors come to Frankston in the alternate years the delegation stays at home. The cost of the Japan trip for mayoral airfares and accommodation is about $2000 in total. Frankston and Susono have had a sister city relationship for 36 years. Wuxi in China is another sister city of Frankston. Crs Quinn McCormack and Michael O’Reilly questioned the benefit of sister city relationships at the 3 April meeting. Cr O’Reilly said he opposed councillors taking ratepayer-funded overseas trips. Cr Kris Bolam said he had been a sceptic of the sister city concept but he has seen how Frankston children who head to Susono as part of the delegation “got a lot out of it” from “a cultural exchange” point of view. Cr Sandra Mayor noted “with the Japanese it is all about honour” so it is important for council to have a representative on the delegation. The councillors were split 4-4 (Crs

Bolam, Brian Cunial, Mayer and Steve Toms for and Crs Glenn Aitken, McCormack, O’Connor, Lillian O’Connor against) on ratepayers funding the mayoral trip and deputy mayor Cr O’Connor, chairing the meeting as the trip was debated since the mayor declared an interest, used her casting vote to ensure ratepayers would not pick up the trip tab. At the latest 23 April public council meeting Cr Hampton declared he would pay for the journey to Susono himself. The mayor told The Times he believes the sister city relationship with Susono is “a very close relationship” for more than three decades. “It has been built up and promoted by Frankston citizens — not by council,” Cr Hampson said. “Some of our kids have learnt Japanese and are translators because of it.” Frankston Susono Friendship Association chair Peter Patterson addressed councillors at the latest meeting and praised Cr Hampton’s commitment to the relationship between Susono and Frankston. “I believe there is a clear and high expectation that the mayor of each city will lead the visit to each city,” Mr Patterson said. “We already have 20 people committed to the delegation of which ten are students from Frankston High School.” Mr Patterson said association volunteers host Japanese festivals and work with schools who have Japanese as part of their curriculum. Neil Walker

Golf course petition drives dispute Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A PETITION calling on Frankston Council not to offer a commercial lease on a public golf course saw council CEO Dennis Hovenden teed off that the proposal became public before councillors formally discussed the matter. South Ward councillor Brian Cunial read a 103-signature petition at council’s 23 April public council meeting imploring council to “keep Frankston’s Centenary Park Golf Public Golf Course in public hands”. A visibly frustrated Mr Hovenden urged mayor Cr Colin Hampton, chairing the meeting, to stop Cr Cunial read-

ing out the petition. Before he was interrupted, Cr Cunial said people who signed the petition were concerned “that a private lease over the course would result in cutting of maintenance [and] loss of local employment”. The mayor disagreed that the petition should be heard in confidence although did instruct Cr Cunial to stop reading all of the wording in the petition after the CEO’s intervention. Councillors had been due to talk about “Centenary Park Golf Course expression of interest” listed in the confidential section of the 23 April meeting agenda. The confidential part of the meeting is held after the meeting open to the public and press. At the start of the meeting, before

reading the petition at the public meeting, Cr Cunial declared an interest in the Centenary Park Golf Course matter, as council’s representative of the board of Peninsula Leisure Pty Ltd. “I have sought advice and it doesn’t exclude me from the vote,” he said. Peninsula Leisure was established by Frankston Council to manage the Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC) in 2012. A councillor or mayor of the day sits on the board as a non-voting member of the Peninsula Leisure board. A majority of councillors voted in May last year to stop any expansion plans by Peninsula Leisure without councillors’ input after it emerged the council-owned company showed interest in managing

neighbouring Mornington Peninsula Shire council’s sports centres. Five of the shire’s sports and swim centres were subsequently outsourced to private operator Belgravia Leisure late last year. When asked about the Centenary Park Golf Course expression of interest matter last week, council corporate development director Tim Frederico said the matter was “commercial in confidence” so no comment could be made by council. Peninsula Leisure CEO Tim Gledhill also declined to comment. “As a regional expert in sport, recreation and leisure, Peninsula Leisure’s focus remains on continuing to add value to the Frankston community,” he

said in a statement. “At this stage, we have no further comment.” The mayor said he is no longer a member of Centenary Park Golf Club when asked by The Times after the meeting. Cr Hampton had previously declared an “interest in common” at a public council meeting in January last year when plans to build a $14 million tennis centre at Centenary Park was discussed by councillors. Monitor Prue Digby, understood to be on leave, was not at the latest public council meeting. The monitor was sent to council by the Labor state government to assess “governance concerns” raised by the CEO and Cr Cunial when mayor last year.

Fast food thieves take off with TWO men with their faces covered threatened staff at the Hungry Jacks restaurant in Nepean Highway, Mornington, last week before stealing cash from the till and safe. Detective Sergeant Peter Drake, of Somerville CIU, said one of the men jumped the counter and used a screwdriver to intimidate staff, 6.30am Friday 27 April. The men, described as Caucasian and in their 20s, ran from the store and drove off in a stolen silver Holden Commodore with registration number 1EP3FT. There were no injuries. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Slow down plea WHILE most people know to slow down when they see an emergency vehicle ahead with red and blue lights flashing, or an alarm sounding, few know that it is actually breaking the law to pass at more than 40kph no matter which side of the road you are on (see illustration). The speed limit aims to set a standard for safe driving so that emergency workers can get on with their work without worrying about being run over by a speeding vehicle or hit by debris. Leading Senior Constable Darren Myers, of Mornington Peninsula traffic operations, said motorists must slow down to a speed that would enable them to stop safely when approaching police, emergency or escort vehicles that are stopped or moving slowly,

and have either: Red and blue flashing lights, magenta (purple flashing lights) or an alarm sounding. A slow moving emergency vehicle would include a fire truck extinguishing roadside fires. “You must not exceed 40kph when passing the vehicle and not increase your speed until you are a safe distance from the scene,” Leading Senior Constable Myers said. “The new rule does not apply to vehicles on the opposite side of a divided road, separated by a raised median strip, but it does apply when an emergency vehicle is stopped up ahead on your side of Peninsula Link.” A median strip can be covered in grass, be a wire rope or concrete barrier or a continuous painted island, but

white lines – whether single or broken – are not considered median strips.

Caravan crushes man A MAN died after a caravan he was understood to be working under fell on him in a Carrum Downs driveway.

A report will be prepared by police for the coroner’s office.

NUDE bathers in undesignated areas at Moondah beach, Mt Eliza, risk being fined under the Summary Offence Act. The issue came to a head when a Mt Eliza resident contacted the council to complain about the “blatant” behaviour of some clothes-optional swimmers at Sunnyside North beach (“Cover up or clear out, parent’s call to nudists” The Times 23/4/2018). He complained they were venturing onto the southern end of Moondah beach which is outside the designated area. The shire’s environment protection manager John Rankine said Sunnyside North was declared clothing optional under the Nudity (Prescribed Areas) Act 1983, allowing bathers to “occupy a prescribed area of the beach unclothed”. “If people leave the prescribed area of the beach then they could be in breach of the Summary Offences Act,” Mr Rankine said. He said the shire worked with police to deal with these issues in order to protect the interest of our local communities. “The scope of council’s involvement is to ensure signage in the car park and on the beach clearly outlines the restrictions in place and to work with the police on community education,” Mr Rankine said. “Enforcement of issues relating to the Summary Offence Act is in the realm of Victoria Police responsibility and council will liaise directly with [them] to ensure the matter is given significant attention and priority.” Stephen Taylor

Posters shaped wartime thinking AN exhibition giving an insight into the powers of harnessing wartime public perception through advertising, graphics and information – whether true or false – is at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery until early July. Propaganda: A selection of posters from the Australian War Memorial, displays many of the key posters designed to inflame public opinion and fashion public thinking during the war and, in some cases, generate a wave of recruits. The artworks have come from the Australian War Memorial which has one of the world’s largest collections of historic propaganda posters. The exhibition also includes commissions from three contemporary artists: Alison Alder, Wendy Murray and Jake Holmes, who respond to the posters, and the collection, by exploring and presenting fresh perspectives on the roles and history of propaganda posters. Propaganda will run until Sunday 8 July. Another exhibition: Andrew Hazewinkel: What The Sea Never Told will run Saturday 5 MaySunday 8 July. Hazewinkel spent 10 weeks as a resident at the historic Police Point, Portsea. His works filmed at, above and below the waters of Port Phillip are a meditation on the sea and the tragic drowning of 15 young men off Mt Eliza in 1892.

His works, which include film, photography and publishing, start with the drowning of the players from the Mornington Football Club, who were returning home by sea after playing against Mordialloc. Only four bodies were ever recovered. The event is still regarded as one of the worst sailing disasters in Victoria’s history and remains the greatest tragedy in Australian football history. Their deaths had a devastating social and economic impact on the young community of Mornington, and triggered a nation-wide response whereby football clubs as far away as Broken Hill donated money to support families affected. Hazewinkel, a contemporary artist who grew up in Mornington, spent his youth swimming in and sailing on the same waters that took the lives of the young men. He also lived for a time in the house of one of the families who lost three sons in the disaster. Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery is at Civic Reserve, Dunns Road, Mornington. It is open 10am–5pm Tuesday to Sunday. Exhibition admission fees are $4 adults/$2 concession. Details: 5950 1580 or visit mprg. mornpen.vic.gov.au The website offers information about exhibitions and special events, including artist and curator talks, school holiday workshops, podcasts and artist videos.

Frankston Times 30 April 2018

Experts unite in two-year plan to find ulcer cause SCIENTISTS and health experts have joined forces in the battle to stop the spread of the debilitating Buruli ulcer. The federal government last week announced a $1.5 million two-year research study into ways of eradicating the fast spreading disease – which is especially prevalent on the Mornington Peninsula. Of the 275 infections recorded across Victoria last year, and the 35 reported so far this year, more than 80 per cent have occurred on the peninsula, according to study leader Professor Tim Stinear, from the University of Melbourne. Mosquitoes are suspected as being the key factor in the spread of the ulcer-causing bacteria – Mycobacterium ulcerans – possibly first to possums and then to humans. However, it is not understood why some areas are vulnerable to the disease and others are not. “Speed is of the essence in finding way to stop its spread,” said Professor Stinear,a microbiologist. Ten different research groups, including state health department staff and Mornington Peninsula Shire health officers, will attempt to find out which mosquito species is responsible and then work out ways to cull it by concentrating on its breeding habits. This could take the form of “fogging”, which involves mist spraying of foliage, placing pesticide tablets in lakes or ponds to kill larvae, or spraying inside drains or pipes. Environmental health officers may also go door-to-door to advise residents on how to eradicate mosquito-breeding areas, such as pets’ water bowls. “There is no one solution at this stage,” Professor Stinear said. “Everything is on the table. “We hope to cover every angle and come up with the right result. “The government has said ‘Yes, you have the money’, so we will start next month.” Flinders MP TM and Health Minister Greg Hunt said the world-first ZeroGravity research was “vital in getting to the bottom of this emerging health 100% cordless, 100% safe challenge”. “This is a horrible and painful medical condition. The project will provide much-needed evidence which will inform public healthOperation policies to control this emerging disease.” Chain Stephen Taylor If you cannot avoid installing shades that use chains, then the addition of (patent pending) ZeroGravityTM technology transforms the shade into something very different. It’s perfectly balanced, and can be raised and lowered with almost zero effort- no matter how big the shade.

Scratch before ulcer Seaford resident Rob Bowers who was diagnosed as having a Buruli ulcer after a bit of metal scratched what appeared to be a mosquito bite near his right ankle. “I’d been bitten by mosquitoes near the Powlett River [Bass Coast] and a March fly at Gunnamatta. While at work I dropped a bit of sheet metal, which scratched me and opened it up,” he said. A keen surfer, Mr Bowers said the collar on his leg rope also aggravated the wound, which began to grow in size. “It didn’t really bother me but it was as big as a 20 cent coin and wasn’t healing.” A doctor who ruled out a Buruli (or Bairnsdale) ulcer, instead diagnosing the more common bacterial skin infection, cellulitis. However, Mr Bowers’ mother Sue, a nurse who has seen many patients with buruli ulcers, arranged for him to visit the Mt Martha clinic where she works. A doctor there took a swab and within a week confirmed his wound was a Buruli ulcer and booked an appointment for him at Frankston Hospital. The hospital’s infectious diseases officer agreed it was a Buruli ulcer and Mr Bowers is now undergoing a 12-week course of antibiotics. He will go back to the hospital in mid-May for a blood test to see if the antibiotics are working or whether he will need surgery. “I can go in the water [to surf] but must avoid stagnant water,” Mr Bowers said. “I change the dressing every night and apply manuka honey. The wound hasn’t got much bigger, but I don’t know what’s going on under the skin as there’s a hard golf ball-sized area.”

Service with a smile: Catherine Annabelle is learning hospitality skills at Harvest Cafe.

Cottage cafe brews training A NEW cafe with a difference has opened its doors at Sages Cottage farm in Baxter. The Harvest Cafe provides hospitality training for people with disabilities as part of a joint collaboration between disability support provider Wallara Australia and caterer Going Gourmet. A light breakfast and lunch menu features many ingredients sourced from the farm itself. Wallara Australia bought the farm in 2016 from charity Menzies Incorporated with the aim of using the farm to teach life and work skills to people with different abilities. The opening of the Harvest Cafe is

a step in that direction. “There are currently 20 Wallara clients based at the farm learning life skills through farm activities,” Wallara CEO Phil Hayes-Brown said. “We are extremely fortunate to have the support of local community and business groups who are assisting with the development of the property and volunteers have been incredibly important for maintaining the farm in such wonderful condition.” Wallara hopes to train up to 50 people at a time at Sages Cottage farm in the near future. Harvest Cafe is open MondaysThursdays, 10am-2pm. A gift shop is also located on the farm.

You’ll love what we do

If it’s motorised blinds you want, the ZeroGravityTM technology can be easily motorised. Using spring technology that has been perfectly balanced, a small capacity DC motor can lift a blind of almost any size. Batteries will last over 10 times longer (as tested by Blindware) since the motor is doing almost no work to lift the blind when used in conjunction with ZeroGravityTM technology.

Zero Gravity creates blinds and shades with perfect balance. Their shades can be raised and lowered by simply urging the base rail up or down by hand, with almost zero effort.

Report crime

I was very disappointed to hear about the senseless vandalism that was inflicted on the newly renovated multi-million dollar Ballam Park East Pavilion (“New pavilion vandalised”, The Times 13/3/18). The damage – anticipated to be at over $20,000 – is unacceptable and both council and Victoria Police are actively investigating. It is important to reinforce that residents, not just the local police and local government, also have an obligation to report unsavoury behaviour. Ballam Park is surrounded by many homes and each day the park is frequented by a great many people utilising it. Therefore I encourage residents and those that frequent the park daily, to pass on any details that could be useful (now and potentially into the future) to either the Frankston City Council Compliance and Safety team on 1300 322 322 or Frankston Police Station on 9784 5555. The same can be said for anti-social behaviour in other parts of the municipality which include the likes of vandalism, graffiti damage and rubbish dumping in our parks and reserves. These behaviours come at an enormous cost to both taxpayers and ratepayers, not to mention the perceptual damage that such behaviours do to our suburbs. We have a huge population (134,000 plus) and a huge geographical boundary (131km in total mass). While it is possible to isolate community safety issues in concentrated areas, it is near impossible to have a presence in all areas at all times. This is why it is so important that authorities are receiving intelligence from our residents. Without residents reporting anti-social behaviour, the capacity to solve crimes and maintain public safety becomes severely limited. The only way our community is kept safe and clean is if residents help council and local authorities identify those committing the offences. We will do our bit. I implore residents to do their bit too. Cr Kris Bolam, North-West Ward

Change is coming We are blessed with a beautiful Toorak College in Mt Eliza, but watch this space folks, for here comes another sluice of Toorak into our community, in the form of a set menu, three, four and a five-storey retirement village homes along a large chunk of Kunyung Road (numbers 60 to 70). The Kunyung Road /Acheron Way / Erimal Reserve area has traditionally been the forgotten and anonymous low homeownership turnover, a unloved and distinctly noisy decommissioned dam local swimming facility for those energetic enough to crawl under the fence. There are bay views to die for, open pastures with a green wedge rural aspect. A fairly settled and quiet and, up until now, generally content local community. An incredibly popular Kunyung Primary School with proudly maintained large block

residential homes with extensive set-backs. In many cases these are now going to be confronted by double/triple storey modern duplex apartments very much in evidence in the urban growth zone and inner suburban streetscapes of Glenferrie Road and High Street, Toorak. While there are many redeeming reasons for a millionaires’ retirement village in Mt Eliza, we are well catered for all with the existing Ranelagh Estate facilities, established nursing homes like the George Vowell Centre, not to forget the Chas Jacobson enterprises, and also the nearby East Mornington and Racecourse Road lifestyle housing estate developments. Plenty of choice and a variety of aged care offerings. So why do we need a publicly listed retirement village provider acquiring, building and maintaining a well known historically and much loved but sadly decaying chunk of our history that was once the Moondah Hotel and part of Sir

Reginald Ansett’s estate? These questions are important and should be discussed with family, friends and freely available not for profit organisations like PACE and Peninsula Health. Ian Morrison, Mt Eliza

Hypocritical on refugees I was dismayed to hear the president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte reminding us that we are not in any position to criticise his policies of exclusion. It is a sad day when such a brutal politician has to remind us that Australia’s treatment of refugees on Manus and Nauru amounts to a breach of human rights. Accept the offer from New Zealand and bring the rest here. After all, that’s only 1500 detainees. We are hypocritical in the assumed righteous stand made against other nations. Patricia Rayner, Grandmothers Against the Detention of Children, Somers

Treat Mum with a Trip to the Theatre this Mother’s Day By Erica Louise THIS Mother’s Day, treat Mum to an unforgettable trip to the theatre. With a fabulous line-up of shows on the Peninsula to enjoy this year you can forget flowers and chocolates this Mothering Sunday. Opt for the gift of an experience and spoil Mum with a trip to the theatre over the wintry months ahead. Why Theatre Tickets make the Best Gifts for Mum. Mother’s Day is typically the one day of the year to shower a Mum with gifts. The usual options would be a lovely bouquet of flowers, her most-liked sweet treats or perhaps her favourite perfume. Albeit with good intentions, the joy of giving and receiving celebratory token gifts soon fades whereas the gift an experience can last a lifetime, particularly for a Mother who enjoys activities over material things. Whether your Mother is well-versed in performing arts or has experienced live shows only a handful of times, a trip to the theatre evokes a special feeling, regardless of age or background. There is a reason why trips to the theatre remain the top of many people’s lists so why not add a theatre experience to Mum’s 2018 calendar too. The Gift of an Experience this Mother’s Day with Theatre Tickets to Frankston Arts Centre Whether it be dance, comedy, musical theatre or drama, there is an array of performances to suit all tastes at Frankston Arts Centre in 2018. For the drama loving mum, re-visit the play that made playwright Hannie Rayson famous with the well-loved family tale, Hotel Sorrento. Set on the Mornington Peninsula, Hotel Sorrento tells the tale of three sisters who re-unite to discover that the memories they share may not only bring them together but also could drive them apart. Coming to Frankston for one night only, on Saturday 19 May, and featuring a cast of eight amazing actors this play is one that all generations love. Frank Sinatra’s musical career will be explored live on stage in Frankly Sinatra this June. Australian musical theatre star Phillip Gould will be joined by winning singer/actress Michelle Fitzmaurice. The duo

will sing and dance their way through 22 Sinatra hits including My Way, Three Coins in a Fountain, Fly Me to the Moon and High Hopes. Book Mum tickets to Frankly Sinatra at Frankston Arts Centre on Friday 8 June, 2018. An irresistible fusion of ballet and Cuban street dance will see Ballet Revolución sizzle on the stage this May. Performing to current pop, R&B and hip hop tunes, Ballet Revolución at Frankston Arts Centre sees a troupe of lithe Cuban dancers leap and spin in an explosive 95-minute dance performance on Wednesday 16 May, 2018. Elvis impersonator Mark Anthony returns to the stage this September, bringing Elvis - The King In Concert to the Frankston Arts Centre. Adelaide born Mark Anthony is noted as one of the top five Elvis performers in the world (out of an estimated 180,000!). He will re-enact the looks, moves & sounds of Elvis, and the electrifying magic of the Madison Square Gardens in Elvis – The King in Concert at Frankston Arts Centre on Saturday 1 September, 2018. For more dance, comedy, musical and magical performances, check out Frankston Arts Centre’s full program of events at thefac.com.au Frankston Arts Centre: Theatre Tickets and Vouchers Unsure which theatre show would be best suited to Mum? Let her choose her own show by giving a voucher for the theatre instead. Gift vouches for Frankston Arts Centre can be purchased in the denomination of choice and are valid for 365 days from purchase.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston soldier succumbs to wounds Compiled by Brodie Cowburn WORD has been received by Mr and Mrs Goodwin, of Frankston, from the Defence authorities, that their son, Private Goodwin, has succumed to wounds received in France on 8th April. The deceased soldier, who will not be 21 years old until August, enlisted in July 1915 and was previously wounded in France. He has two brothers still on active service. Great sympathy is expressed for Mr and Mrs Goodwin in their sad bereavement. A memorial service was held on Sunday evening last in the Richmond Presbyterian Church, of which Pte. Goodwin was a prominent member before he enlisted. *** IN connection with his candidature for the Flinders by-election, Captain Bruce M.C., the Nationalist candidate will address the electors at Frankston on Tuesday afternoon, March 7th at 3 o’clock, and at Mornington on the same day at 8 o’clock. On Tuesday evening Mr Edmund Jowett, M.P. member for Grampians, will address the electors in support of Captain Bruce’s candidature in the Frankston hall at 8 p.m. *** ON Monday evening, May 6th, Mr Gordon J. Holmes, the selected Labor candidate in the forthcoming Flinders by- election, will address the electors at Frankston, in the Mechanics’ Institute. *** PRIVATE E. A. Worrall, who for some years conducted a hairdressing establishment at Frankston, returned to Melbourne last week, after a long

spell of service in France, where he was wounded. *** MR James Grice, of “Moondah,” Frankston, received word on Friday morning that his son Claude, had been wounded in France. In the absence of further news, we trust that the injury received by Private Grice is not serious. *** MAJOR R. F. Gray, eldest son of Mr. C. Gray, of Frankston, had been awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal. The council of the the Working Mens College, of which Mr. Gray is president, on Monday evening congratulated Mr. Gray on the distinction gained by his son. *** IN the casualty list published last week, the names of Sergeant B. I. Griffith, Frankston, and Private W White, Pearcedale, appear under the heading of wounded. *** NEXT Sunday, May 5th, is “young people’s day” throughout the Victoria and Tasmania Methodist Conference. The Rev E. Tonkin will conduct both services at the Franston church. In the morning there will be a special Responsive service; and in the evening, the subject of the address will be “Family Religion”. *** AN important clearing sale will be conducted by Mr. W. A. Korner on Saturday next May 11, when he will sell farm implements, horse, buggy etc at Lyndos Farm, Langwarrin on account of Mr. C. C. Smith. Full particulars are advertised.

*** THE Victorian Protestant Federation. The meeting called by advertisement in our last issue, for the purpose of taking the initial steps towards forming a branch of the above federation at Frankston was extremely well attended, between 60 and 70 residents being present. Cr W. J. Oates was voted to the chair. After the chairman had explained the object for which the meeting was called, Mr Dower moved that Mr Ward be appointed. Mr Ward expressed himself pleased with the position alloted him and would do his best to carry out the duties honorably. He then read the correspondence that had passed between the secretary of the Federation and himself with regard to the most convenient date for holding a public meeting at Frankston for the purpose of starting a branch here, and Friday, the 10th of May was mentioned as a date likely to suit all parties. The correspondence was received, on the motion of Mr Thomas, seconded by Mr. Grice. *** ANZAC Day was commemorated in the Frankston school last Thursday by saluting the flag, singing the prescribed hymns, and appropriate addresses. In the afternoon a jumble sale was held and despite the rain there was a good attendance of buyers. The President of the Shire, Cr W. J. Oates, in an effective speech, emphasized the urgent necessity for money to provide food, to save our imprisoned soldiers from the awful death of slow starvation. He then declared the sale open.

*** THERE was a large attendance at the recruiting meeting held here Monday night when Sgt. Middleton gave a fine speech, appealing for recruits. A picture, “A Man That’s All”, was screened under the direction of Sgt. Sturn. Doctor Griffeth was chairman of the meeting and Miss F. Unthank supplied the music. *** Tyabb: A social evening to welcome home three more local boys, Privates L Geriard, R. MacLauren and Lawrence Cole was held in the hall on Friday evening 26th. A large attendance was present and a very enjoyable evening was spent. Dancing was the main feature, and items were contributed by Mr B. King, Mr Geo. Slocombe, and R. Denham, and Misses E. Woodhouse L. Slocombe and V. Cole. Cr Longmuir presented each of the soldiers with a pocket book and wallet (inscribed) and accorded them a hearty welcome and a speedy recovery on behalf of the residents. Mr R Mair also spoke on behalf of the Red Cross and touched on the present crisis and the urgent need of recruits. Mr F. Mills chairman of the presentation Committee occupied the chair. An excellent supper, which had been provided by the ladies, was served about midnight and dancing was carried on until about 2 a m. *** THE “Hard Times” ball held in the Progress Hall at Moorooduc on Friday evening was a great success, the weather being against helping for

the best results; but there was a good attendance; and dancing was indulged in to the music supplied by Messrs Grierson and Cavell, whilst Mr Leo Davis acted as M.C. The costumes were not as numerous as the occasion warranted. Miss Jones was dressed in a neat costume, made of empty Meggitt’s linseed meal bags; while Mr James Turner was in old clothes representing T.P. *** THOMAS HOLLY V ADAMS & CO. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—In defending this case, we did so, more from the desire to establish a ruling on the, question of liability of the shortages in milk consigned in broken lots than from an economy point of view as might easily be judged when the cost of a days trip from Frankston with a witness are reckoned up, as against a 16s claim. However as the Bench grasped a businesslike view of the case and gave the opinion that senders should advise the quantities in broken cans daily to their buyers we feel our object has been gained, and hope that the effect of it may be to prevent the continual loss of milk in transit, as between producers and distributors. We beg to ask that you publish the main parts of case at least as heard at the court on Monday last so that the farmers generally may be put in possession of the suggested improved method to be adopted when sending “broken cans” of milk. Yours Truly, E. A. ADAMs & Co. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 4 May 1918

Frankston Times 30 April 2018

Perfect, if you have a taste for fine wine THE International Cool Climate Wine Show (ICCWS) is again proud to share a rare opportunity to assess the styles, characteristics and latest trends of inspirational cool climate wines entered in the 2018 show with everyone! With more than 600 entries received this year, from over 135 wineries from the cool climate wine regions of Australia, New Zealand, Italy, and France, you will be able to taste wines from many classes, including Sparkling wines, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Shiraz. Sample vintages from current and older vintage classes, compare wines of the same grape variety from different regions, focus on wines from specific regions or vineyards, or taste styles you’d like to know more about. The depth and breadth of the wine on show is vast. Many wines come from boutique vineyards producing small commercial quantities, so this is your chance to seek out some outstanding but lesser known labels. Some wines are from vineyards where grapes are hand picked and wines handcrafted by winemakers with a passion for exploring terroir and the true expression of the grape. This is a show where like is judged against like, where elegant wines with restrained fruit are seen at their best, and where diversity is encouraged and rewarded. The ICCWS Public Tasting is being held at the

Mornington Racing Club (MRC). It’s designed for wine enthusiasts keen to find new wines for their cellars; for winemakers, educators, retailers and sommeliers wanting to identify trends and discover some real cool climate gems; and also for those who just love a glass of wine! Now, for the best bit! The People’s Choice Award is up to you. Vote for your favourite wine and show the winemaker your appreciation! Also, don’t miss the ICCWS Awards Dinner at the MRC on Friday 25 May - an amazing opportunity to enjoy a sensational menu showcasing local produce and featuring the wines of the 18th ICCWS. Places limited - book now online at www.internationalcoolclimatewineshow.com/ public.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

How to Survive an Official ‘Rain Day’ By Stuart McCullough I CAN hear it on the roof. Rain, glorious rain, sheeting down with so much force that the dog has decided to wait it out, taking shelter in the back bathroom. These are the days when excursions outside are either carefully timed (I think I see a patch of blue sky!) or are a titanic battle against the elements as you duck, weave and skip in the hope of reducing the degree to which you are inevitably drenched. But despite the adversity, there’s something great about a rainy day. Not that I’ve always thought so. As a kid, a rainy day seemed like a disaster. This was because they removed what – to a child at least – seemed like a fundamental human right – the right to play outside. I was never really an out-doorsy kind of person. It was only when the right to go outside was removed that I really cared about it. Trapped inside with my siblings, it was a matter of time before the wheels would come rolling off. Every ‘indoors’ day I can remember ended in conflict and recrimination, although none of them started that way. Having two brothers and two sisters meant there were always plenty of people to play with and almost zero tolerance for declarations of boredom. However, getting consensus between five people is nigh-on impossible and, often, more time was devoted to arguing as to what it was we should be doing than actually doing it. There was ‘hide and seek’. It was a game that required no equipment

and had almost no rules. It encouraged innovation. It also gave you the opportunity – if you so chose to take it up – not to look, leaving a brother and sister to sequester themselves unnecessarily for hours like a Japanese soldier who doesn’t know the war is over. The game would begin with someone counting to twenty with their eyes closed and promising not to peek as the rest of the family scattered. Someone would always be found in the first ten seconds. Always. Whether they’d decided to hide behind the curtains, leaving their feet to protrude or had convinced themselves they had the power to make themselves invisible and had not hidden at all, it ultimately mattered little. Sometimes, my brothers and sisters would do a pretty

good job – squeezing themselves into some nook or cranny. But it was those that were willing to push the boundaries that did best by hiding somewhere that was, ostensibly, out of bounds. Our parent’s room, the pantry or, possibly, up in the roof – these were the envelope-pushing choices of a true hide and seek champion. It was always tough to know how long a game of hide and seek would last. Maybe ten minutes. Perhaps an hour. There was never an official end. It was more that someone declared they weren’t playing anymore and you had to decide whether or not to limp on without them or succumb to the inevitable. Games didn’t finished – they unraveled. Fort-building was a favourite. Strategically positioned chairs, sheets

and blankets could transfer a living room. Couch cushions were especially useful. The thrill of being able to create your own sanctuary in the middle of the house was enormous. Things generally went pear-shaped if there was a dispute over which family members were permitted entry. Adults were excluded (obviously). But there was no quicker path to ignominy and distress than to exclude a sibling. It would inevitably result in an appeal to a higher jurisdiction – namely our parents, who would swoop in and determine that entry was available to all. Board games were the option of last resort. In fact, they should be called ‘bored games’, because there’s nothing so bone crushingly dull than an afternoon playing ‘Monopoly’. I appreciate others may feel differ-

ently. It starts with the figurines. I always got stuck with the iron. As an eldest child, ‘Monopoly’ was where my place in the family hierarchy first came under serious challenge. I was beaten soundly and often by almost everyone. It was where I also discovered what a sore loser I was. Turns out I didn’t much like being bested by a younger brother or sister. Not one little bit. ‘Monotony’ was one of those games and seldom reached the end. It was more a test of endurance that ended as a matter of necessity after people abandoned ship. Those days seemed to last forever. There would, of course, be fighting. It wasn’t because we didn’t like each other. It was more a case that being trapped inside for an entire day caused us to go absolutely, bat-fried crazy. I was as culpable as anyone. There was always a tipping point when things went a little too far and someone was reduced to tears. The sense of being trapped ended only when the sun came out or dinner was served. The dog is snoring and it’s still raining. I’m in my study, playing with various musical instruments, plugging things in an out, trying to keep everything in tune. I’m not sure where my wife is. Possibly, she’s playing hide and seek and I should probably start looking for her. When she does emerge, she’ll be surprised to find that I’ve built a fort in the living room. As a precaution, I have hidden our Monopoly set. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Frankston Times 30 April 2018

Mornington no match for Sharks DIVISION ONE

Picture: Andrew Hurst

MORNINGTON’S position in the doghouse of division one wasn’t helped at all with a loss to Sorrento at Alexandra Park. Winless in 2018, the Dogs really needed to get some momentum. It was always going to be a big ask. Sorrento held Mornington goalless in the first quarter and kicked on from there. Mornington was never in it and ended up going down by 62 points. The chocolates for best spectacle would have to go to the Rosebud versus Seaford clash. A match with more swings than a kids playground, there was only two points in it at quarter time before Rosebud put the pedal to the metal in the second. They kicked eight goals to zip to be 36 points up at the main break. You’d be forgiven for thinking that the momentum would hold, but they were in for a shock, as Seaford came out in the third quarter, held them scoreless, and put six through the big sticks and a further six through the small ones. The tussle continued into the final quarter, with Rosebud steadying the ship and the scoreboard a level 68 points each at the final siren. Mt Eliza had the home ground advantage against Bonbeach in their game. It was a tight tussle all day with hardly more than a kick in it until the fourth quarter. Mt Eliza shifted into another gear in the final quarter, kicking six goals to one to end up with a 43-point win. Jordon Moncrieff kicked four for the winners, and Trent Dennis-Lane kicked five for Bonbeach, bagging more than half the team’s goals on his own. A win by Frankston Bombers against Pines saw them swap places on the ladder. The fourth-placed Pines came up against sixth-placed Bombers at Greg Beck Oval, but they trailed at every change, eventually going down by 26 points. The Bombers are now fourth on the Division One ladder, and sitting there with the same number of wins under their belt as second-placed Mt Eliza and third-placed Sorrento. In the final match of the round, Edithvale-Aspendale took on unbeaten and ladder leaders Frankston YCW. It was always going to be tough, but Edithvale-Aspendale had a shot on paper, being third on the ladder. And it was by no means a runaway win for YCW, with only a couple of kicks in it all day. In the end, it was only two straight kicks that separated the teams, but the damage on the ladder being more than that. YCW kept the top spot, but Edi-Asp slipped to fifth.

Hastings sing the blues at the hands of Karingal DIVISION TWO

IT was neck-and-neck between Karingal at Hastings, until the first bounce. Then it was all downhill for the Blues. They trailed all day and never really got a sniff. Karingal were up by 27 points at the main change and took the day by 33 points at the final siren. In doing so, they’ve grabbed Hastings’ third spot on the ladder and sent the Blues one further back to fourth. Dromana has maintained its place on the top of the Division Two table after charging back for the win against Rye. Rye couldn’t have started better with ten scoring shots to two in the first quarter. They must have started celebrating early, as it was all downhill from there. The margin went from 28 points at quarter time, to 11 points at half-time, scores level at the last break and going down by 23 points at the final siren. Between them, Ben Holmes (five goals) and Ethan Johnstone (four goals) kicked nine of Dromana’s 15 goals, with another six players with one goal each. Crustaceans everywhere would have been hanging their heads in shame af-

ter the Tyabb Yabbies got belted again, this time by Chelsea. In the end, they went down by 57 points. The Yabbies are in hot water for 2018. The only thing that Tyabb have to be happy about is they’re not Crib Point. The Magpies horror start to 2018 continued with a shellacking at the hands of Red Hill. They went down by a resounding 79 points. The only positive was that the margin could have been much higher. Wayward kicking by Red Hill saw them slot 20 minors in their score. Langwarrin burst out of the gates against Devon Meadows and had hit the half-century by quarter time. The Panthers had only managed seven points in the same timeframe. Langwarrin coasted along for the rest of the day, maintaining their margin, and winning the match by 37 points. Somerville did it easily against Pearcedale in front of a home crowd. Again, it was a one-sided affair, and Pearcedale were never really in it. Somerville took home the chocolates 14.23 (107) to 8.6 (54), while Pearcedale only got to lick the wrapper.

Melee mars great Mornington comeback SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie MORNINGTON staged a remarkable comeback to snatch a point from Casey Comets in a controversial and spiteful State 1 South-East encounter at Comets Stadium on Friday night. Comets players trudged off the pitch at game’s end with their heads down after blowing a two-goal lead and having to settle for a 3-3 draw in a riveting contest. Comets struck first thanks to a superb Connor Belger through ball and a clinical low strike from the talented Robert Prescott in the 27th minute. Sammy Orritt was left dumfounded after a point-blank tip over from Comets keeper David Thomson in the 36th minute but three minutes later scores were level. A slick interpassing move down the left set up Jack Truelove whose cutback was controlled then slammed home from the edge of the area by Mornington midfielder Sam Scott. In the 50th minute momentum swung back to the home team after another superbly weighted through ball by Belger set up Dejan Radojicic and his classy finish past advancing Mornington keeper Liam Little made it 2-1. Five minutes on and all hell broke loose after a bad tackle from behind felled Belger. Players became involved in an ugly melee and once some semblance of order was restored both sides pleaded their case in a desperate attempt to influence referee Patrick Chaplin who was consulting both of his assistants. The end result was a red card for Mornington defender Josh Valadon which had the visitors up in arms. Things went from bad to worse for Mornington when Cody Martindale caught them on the break in the 63rd minute and made it 3-1. But the contest turned on a poor decision by Belger in the 82nd minute when he chose to slide in from behind and give referee Chaplin no choice but to send him off. Scott curled a brilliant free kick past Thomson to make it 3-2 in the 88th minute and what seemed impossible became reality two minutes later when despite his height disadvantage Orritt was able to head in at the far post to make it 3-3. Injuries played a major part in Langwarrin’s 5-1 home loss to Moreland Zebras in their NPL2 East contest last weekend. Langy conceded a goal in the 2nd minute but Andy McLean equalised when he turned the ball in at the far post in the 25th minute.

Towering Langy midfielder Mat Luak was red carded just before half-time. Langwarrin’s cause wasn’t helped by injuries to McLean, Luke Burgess and captain Boris Ovcin and having made three substitutions the home team was forced to play with just nine men for the final 10 minutes. Moreland Zebras are a quality outfit and were rewarded for their pressure with four second-half goals while Langy was spared further heartache by the skill and heroics of keeper Robbie Acs. Peninsula Strikers’ season of turmoil got worse on Saturday when it went down 3-2 to nine-man Berwick City in their State 2 South-East fixture at Centenary Park. This rollercoaster clash started with goals from Nathan Smith and Ryan Thompson giving Strikers a 2-0 lead af-

ter just three minutes. Orlando Mejias enhanced his record against Strikers with a 12th-minute goal to make it 2-1 then Berwick went down to 10 men when Denilson Noronha was red carded in the 20th minute. But two minutes later Christopher L’Enclume made it 2-2. The seesaw nature of this gripping contest continued in the second half when Shane Savanah was sent off in the 62nd minute but against the odds, Mejias settled the issue with an 82ndminute strike. Frankston Pines lost 2-1 at home to Brandon Park on Saturday. Pines had few answers to the guile and experience of Vinnie Bontemps and Hamlet Armenian with the latter opening the scoring in the 20th minute with a neat turn and a deftly executed strike

into the top far corner. His attacking companion Bontemps chested down a long ball about 10 minutes later then turned and struck a low shot from just outside the area to make it 2-0. Pines hit back from the penalty spot in the 65th minute thanks to CJ Hodgson and should have had a second penalty with what looked a clear handball in the 82nd minute but referee Harry Mangavilas waved play on. Pines’ final chance of a reward for its late pressure came in the third minute of added time but striker Mitch Landers directed his close-range header straight at Brandon Park keeper Peter Koundanis who was able to parry. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford United dragged itself off the bottom of the State 3 South-East ladder with a 2-0 home win over Middle Park on Saturday. Seaford made two midweek signings, Jeremy and Matty Schwellinger, and the former took just four minutes to round Middle Park keeper Marshall Brown and score from a tight angle. The second half developed into a spiteful affair and the visitors were reduced to 10 men in the 70th minute after Shaun Rodden was sent off. A few minutes later Conor Mcfall was brought down after a great run on the right and Matt Morris-Thomas converted from the spot to make it 2-0. Seaford’s Matt Surgenor was shown a red card in the 76th minute and five minutes later he was joined on the sidelines when Middle Park’s Kevin Tollitt got his second caution. Seaford’s first win since July 2017 sets up a derby shootout this weekend when Paulo Pinheiro’s side travels to Skye Recreation Reserve to take on Billy Armour’s men. Former Bulleen midfielder Harrison Michaelis debuted for Skye United in its 2-1 away win over Noble Park on Saturday. The visitors struck early when Caleb Nicholes charged down an attempted clearance from Noble Park custodian Nikola Popetkov and the rebound rolled into the empty net in the 7th minute. The visitors doubled their advantage in the 27th minute when Mitch Blake’s through ball found Daniel Attard and he made no mistake finishing inside the near post. The second half saw Skye dominate in the early stages but failing to convert and Noble Park’s response came in the 86th minute through a well-struck shot from Zarko Milojevic. Baxter lost 3-1 away to Endeavour United in Saturday’s State 4 South clash. The half-time stalemate was broken in the second half after Endeavour keeper

Sasho Ancevski fouled Dan Disseldorp and Owen Kilner converted the resultant penalty. Endeavour was dangerous counterattacking and was rewarded when a cross from the right was not cleared and Dalveer Jando equalised with a strike from 10 metres. Five minutes later Kilner denied an Ifeoluwa Ogidan attempt but the ball fell to Aaron Credlin who hit it in off the post to make it 2-1. Ogidan sealed Baxter’s fate after a superb solo run ended with a top corner strike that gave Baxter keeper James Foster no chance. Liam Kilner came off the bench in the final 15 minutes and is pressing for a first-team start next weekend. State 5 South outfit Somerville Eagles bounced back from the previous week’s setback with a 2-1 away win against Lyndale United on Saturday. A dubious penalty was awarded to Lyndale after James McKenzie was alleged to have handled midway through the first half but Eagles keeper Cam Parsons denied the home team with a fine save. Somerville took the lead just before half-time when Louis Griffiths broke onto a Dave Greening through ball and beat Lyndale keeper Daniel Pehar at his near post. In the 59th minute, Parsons was forced from the field and taken to hospital with a dislocated knee. Central defender Ash Scholes went in goal for the last 30 minutes and shortly after the visitors doubled their lead when Griffiths played an excellent through ball to Greening who slammed the ball home with his left foot. Lyndale hit back in the 76th minute when Adam Zilic was given a free header from a corner, setting up a tense finale but Somerville held on marshalled superbly throughout by man-of-the-match Matt Swanson. Felix Arena has stepped down as Somerville Eagles president for personal reasons and Luke Mulder has filled the vacancy on an interim basis. Here are next weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: North Geelong v Langwarrin (Elcho Park), Mornington v South Springvale (Dallas Brooks Park), Knox City v Frankston Pines (Egan Lee Reserve), Mooroolbark v Peninsula Strikers (Esther Park Reserve), Skye Utd v Seaford Utd (Skye Recreation Reserve), Baxter v Hampton Park Utd (Baxter Park), Knox Utd v Somerville Eagles (Park Ridge Reserve).

Mordialloc Ducks off to a flyer By Ben Triandafillou THE Mordialloc Ducks have begun to write the record books with a flying start to their opening season on Saturday 14 April. Under club president Ben Newton, the Ducks have claimed two victories from their first two games in division EL of the Melbourne Winter Baseball League and don’t look to be taking a backwards step. The club has just the one Senior Men’s side which was accepted into the league just over a month ago, and although inexperienced, the side has been able to put back-to-back victories on the board in front of their home crowd at the Cheltenham Baseball Club. Following their two-run win over Forest Hill on Saturday 21 April,

club president Ben Newton said that he didn’t know how the side would perform this season but is glad to see them start off in a winning way. “We entered the season with not much expectation as we didn’t know what the other teams were like and we weren’t really sure of how we would go ourselves,” he said. “We had just the two training sessions beforehand and many of the guys are still getting used to the game – it’s been a real learning curve.” The past couple of weeks have been filled with “firsts” for the club, with the first hit being struck by Ben Newton and the first pitch being thrown by Scott Rodda, but it was in their second week when Ben Davenport whacked home their first home-run that topped it all off. “[It was] amazing,” Newton said. “It

was in a tight spot in the game and he got every bit of it. Seeing all the guys come out and congratulate him was really special.” The Ducks are more of a “social club” for those who are restricted by work and other time restricting factors, and therefore don’t do mid-week training but Newton said they still go out on the field and give it their all. “The focus for our club is definitely the social side of the sport but we are still quite competitive on the field,” he said. “We would love to put together a Women’s side and another Men’s team next season and eventually look at a T-ball or juniors program.” While the season has started the fixture for the league hasn’t been published as of yet so the Ducks will take every game on a week-by-week basis.

Kaoullas faces familiar opponent MORNINGTON Peninsula boxer Adam Kaoullas is lining up for the Victorian State Welterweight Title on Saturday 19 May against a familiar boxer in Dillon Bargero at the Malvern Town Hall. The professional welterweight boxer faced Bargero in November last year where he almost had the fight won in the opening round until Bargero picked himself up off the canvas to fight it out until the end. Kaoullas took out the fight by unanimous decision after the fourth round but he is confident that he can claim the victory a lot earlier in this match-up.

“He made it interesting that night but I feel like I’ve improved out of sight so hopefully I can show it when we face each other again,” he said. “My mindset has changed massively. I’m more relaxed and enjoying it a lot more as I used to put too much pressure on myself. The more bouts and more experience I get, I have less stress and feel a lot more confident heading into my fights.” Kaoullas has faced one more opponent since Bargero and defeated him by a unanimous points decision on Sunday 25 February. While Bargero has had four

fights since their match-up, winning one by knock-out as well as defeating the New South Wales champion Eddie Dos Santos by unanimous decision last month. The match-up is set for eight rounds instead of the four rounds which they fought last time but Kaoullas doesn’t see it going that long. “It’ll be a good a stepping stone for the rest of my year,” he said. “He’s killing it at the moment so he’s definitely a worthy opponent but I’m excited to get in there and show everyone what I’ve got.” Ben Triandafillou

GOLFERS City fame: Jessica Eaton returns to the mounting yard after claiming her first Melbourne metropolitan race aboard Famelist. Picture: Supplied

Eaton strikes metro fame By Ben Triandafillou APPRENTICE jockey Jessica Eaton officially transferred to Mornington-based trainer Chris Meagher two weeks ago and has quickly claimed her first Melbourne city winner. Eaton, who has been on loan to Meagher for the past six months, continued her winning relationship with the in-form mare Famelist, for Mornington trainer Gary Carson, when saluting at Sandown on Wednesday 18 April. Eaton has been aboard the seven-year-old mare at all four of her starts this preparation and has racked up three victories since storming home first-up in a benchmark 64 at Sale at $51 to win on Tuesday 27 February. Eaton was full of praise for the mare and said she was even happier to get the win for the Mornington-based Caron’s stable. “It’s a pretty special horse and she has been in really great form recently,” Eaton said. “He (Gary Carson) has a small team at Mornington so it was great to get my first Melbourne city winner for them, and to be a part of the ride has been amazing.” It’s been a successful couple of weeks for the 24-year-old hoop who also claimed the National Apprentice Jockey Series for Victoria on the Wednesday prior to her win aboard Famelist. While Eaton concluded the series in Perth with a short-neck second aboard Scoreline, she had done

enough to clinch the title and topped it off with her maiden city win aboard the Stephen Rowe-trained Classi Survivor ($17) in the final race of the day. “Being able to go to another state and compete against other jockeys is an incredible experience,” she said. “Meeting new people and seeing different jockeys, you can learn a lot. There were apprentice coaches from every state there and I can’t thank Matt Pumpa (Racing Victoria Apprentices’ coach) enough for his support.” Eaton is hoping to keep her hot run going and said that it’s great to be back in a busy environment like Mornington. “There is probably about three to four trainers at Stawell and before that, I used to ride at Caulfield so it’s great to be back in this type of environment,” she said. “I’m getting a lot of support from local trainers and they are all going at a good strike rate at the moment, so it helps to get good rides for good trainers. “He’s (Chris Meagher) been really good to me and lets me try and get rides for a lot of other trainers and having that support from a trainer who supports you and lets you take up those opportunities is brilliant.” Eaton currently sits at sixth on the Victorian Apprentice Jockey Premiership with 34 winners for the season.

Southern Sharks strike again Big baller: Western Port Steelers basketballer Dylan Travis continues impressive form. Picture: Supplied

By Ben Triandafillou THE Southern Peninsula Sharks continued their hot start to the season with victories in round five of the Women’s State Championships and Men’s Division Two at the Hillview Stadium, Rosebud on Saturday 21 April. The Southern Peninsula women (63) narrowly defeated the Sunbury Jets (62) by one point with a Jaz Shelley (27 points, 5 three-pointers made) triple snatching the game for the Sharks’ for a crucial win to move up to fourth on the ladder. The Men’s Division Two side (72) maintained their undefeated run with another win over the Altona Gators (60) at home and remain the only team left in the league to have not lost a game. The Sharks looked right at home from the first quarter and didn’t look like they were in trouble for the rest of the game. Altona didn’t give up though and owned the final quarter 25-18 but it was too late and the deficit was too great for them to come back. Ben James was dominant from long range for the Sharks, sinking seven of his nine three-point shots with Sharks import Colin Voss doing damage inside the key with three dunks. Southern Peninsula Sharks spokesperson Bridie McGuire said both games were great to watch with Voss creating plenty of enthusiasm in the men’s game. “He’s a very exciting player to watch

and the juniors are always on the sideline watching on and love seeing him pull out a dunk,” she said. In Division One Men’s, Chelsea and Western Port both walked away with victories away from home and moved up to second and fourth respectively on the ladder. Melbourne University (73) put up a fight against Chelsea (82) but a 50-35 difference across the bookend quarters proved to be the difference. Brasser (28 pts), Standerfer (24 pts) and Frost (15 pts) scored all but 15 of Chelsea’s points to lead the charge. Whittlesea Pacers (61) suffered yet another loss (3 wins from their last 26 games) to the visiting Steelers side (87). Led by another solid performance from Dylan Travis (28 pts, 12 rbs, 10 ast), the Steelers took out all four quarters on the back of a 48 per cent shooting clip. Western Port Steelers Division One Women’s side looked for their first win for the season but came up short as Warrandyte Venom (72-55) earned their first win instead and the Geelong Supercats (73-39) walked away with a comfortable 34-point win against them on the Sunday. The Chelsea Gulls also played two matches on the weekend, coming away with a win and a loss. The Gulls (69) defeated Werribee (66) in a fight to the finish after starting

on the back foot and trailing by seven points in the opening quarter followed by an 11 point gap heading into the half-time break. The Gulls came out firing in the third to drop 24 points and take the lead by one and managed to keep their noses in front to the final whistle. Chelsea (45) tried to back it up on the Sunday against Whittlesea (62) and while they led the way early on, they lost their legs in the remaining three quarters to give the Pacer’s their fourth win in a row. In Division Two Women, the Mornington Breakers put in two good efforts on back-to-back nights but were defeated on both occasions. Collingwood (68) kept Mornington (46) to single figures in the first two terms and as Collingwood looked to have the win in their sights early in the third, the Breakers stuck with them and fought out the majority of the second half. Despite the result, there were some solid efforts from the home side as Ashleigh Wright scored 13 points, Fiona Darnell racked up a double (11p 14rbs) and Bridget Gamble also claimed a double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. The Breakers (43) then tried to match it with the Wallan Panthers (78) the following night but the league leaders ran away with a 25 point victory at home. Ashleigh Wright again put in a strong performance with a rebound short of a double and 18 points on the board.

Gulls get up, Venom get first victory State Championship Men

Chelsea 69 def Werribee 66 What a finish it was for the Gulls in this match, coming away with a win by just 3 points. They started on the back foot, trailing by 7 in the opening quarter followed by 11 heading into the half-time break. The Devils looking to be in full control. But the Gulls stepped it up a gear in the 3rd dropping 24 points to take the lead by 1. It was a fight to the finish in the 4th but the Gulls kept their noses in front for the win. Whittlesea 62 def Chelsea 45 The Pacers have made it four wins in a row, taking advantage of a tired Chelsea side. They did lead the way early on, however, lost their legs in the remaining three quarters. This opened the door for the Pacers to swoop in beginning their road to a win at the half-way mark.

State Championship Women

Sth Peninsula 63 def Sunbury 62 The Jets drop another game, this time to a Sharks unit missing a couple of players. The visitors did go in without Elyse Penaluna, but in a tight contest, it was a Jaz Shelley (27 pts, 5 treys) triple that snatched the crucial win. Peyton Little added 15pts for the winners. Some testing times for the Jets as they try to get back on the winner’s list. Orla O’Reilly (14 pts) didn’t have a great shooting night, while Josie Stockill (12 pts) and Sharon Plichta (12 pts) did what they could.

Division One Men

Melbourne Uni 73 lost to Chelsea 82 The Black Angels certainly put up a good fight against the league leaders, but a 50-35 difference across the bookend quarters proved to be the difference. Brasser (28), Standerfer (24) and Frost (15)

Division One Women

Western Port 55 def by Warrandyte 72 One team was going to score themselves their first win of the season and on this occasion, it went the way of the Venom. They were given a handy lead in the opening quarter, the Steelers putting a mere 4 points on the board to the Venom’s 17. The Steelers made up for this in the remaining three quarters but the Venom was doing everything right to keep the game in their hands. The game became a little too close for the Venom in the 3rd so they came out with a 22 to 11 final effort to win by a comfortable margin. Geelong 73 def Western Port 39 The Supercats made it 2 from 2 on the weekend, making easy work of the Steelers on the Sunday. This game was decided at the half-way mark, the Supercats leading the Steelers 45 to 17. The Steelers had no response to the Supercats scoring, struggling with their own in the middle two quarters. Not a good weekend for the Steelers but it was a great one for the Supercats.

scored all but 15 of Chelsea’s points to lead the charge. For the home team, Brandon Armstrong dropped 24pts and Nick Masunda had 17pts. Whittlesea 61 loss to Western Port 87 The lean times for the Pacers continued (3 wins from their last 26 games) with a big loss to the visiting Steelers. Led by Dylan Travis (28 pts, 12 rbs, 10 ast) the Steelers won all four quarters on the back of a 48% shooting clip. Back in familiar territory, Dom Bruno came off the bench to hit 19pts for the Pacers.

Division Two Men

Southern Pen 72 def Altona 60 There is only one team left that can say they are undefeated and they have maintained their run with another win this time over the Gators at home. The Sharks looked right at home from the first quarter and didn’t look like they were in trouble for the rest of the game. Altona didn’t give up though they owned the final quarter 25-18 but it was too late and the deficit was too great for them to come back from. Altona happily welcomed back James Till this week who helped give the Gators more height on the boards. Division Two Women Mornington 46 def by Collingwood 68 Holding Mornington to single figures in the first two terms, Collingwood had the Win in their sights early in the third, but to their credit, the Breakers stuck with their opponents for the majority of the second half. Despite the result, some solid efforts from the Home side as Ashleigh Wright scored 13 pts, a double 11 pts 14 rbs from Fiona Darnell 11 pts 14 rbs and Bridget Gamble 11 pts 10 rbs. For Collingwood, two players with doubles were Jada Buggs 26 pts 19rbs and Helen Rodan 19 pts 10rbs. Wallan 78 def Mornington 43 The Panthers started to gain momentum in the second term, then fatigue kicked in for the Breakers in the second half on the back of the efforts the previous night as Wallan collected a 25 point win to be on top of the tree after the end of the round. The team in teal maintained their offensive pressure to hold the visitors to single digits in the last two stanzas. For Mornington, Ashleigh Wright again put in a great display and was a rebound short of a double with 18pts. For the Panthers, Megan Marasco scored a game-high 19 pts and Emmie O’Nial again a solid contributor with 14 pts and 8 rbs.
