Priority projects chosen before election Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A NEW basketball stadium and swimming pool are among the key projects council will advocate for heading into next year’s state and federal elections. Council will lobby for funding for a $31 million upgrade of Pines Forest Aquatic Centre, a $45 million project to

build a district basketball and gymnastics stadium at the Frankston Basketball Stadium, a $6 million expansion of local recycled water programs, a new $4 million playground at Sandfield Reserve in Carrum Downs, and a $6 million proposal to create a 7.2 kilometer long public art trail from the Frankston Foreshore to McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery. Council has committed $30.2 million in ratepayer funding towards the

five projects. It is seeking $31.4 million from the state government and $29.8 million from the federal government. Newly appointed Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy said events are being planned to promote the projects to the community and to other levels of government. “We’ve been having conversations with our local members of parliament and candidates about these and a range of other projects and have

early indications of support for these projects,” he said. “While the identified priorities have been limited in order to provide a succinct and prioritised list for members of parliament and candidates, there are other ongoing opportunities to advocate for funding.” Cr Kris Bolam said that council has already met with more than “30 federal ministers and shadow ministers in Can-

berra and [held] meetings with various state ministers and shadow ministers to influence decision-making that will benefit our community.” A previously planned redevelopment of the Frankston Basketball Stadium fell apart in 2017 when lease negotiations between Frankston & District Basketball Association and Frankston Council collapsed.

Renewed hope for basketball stadium project Continued from page 1 The Frankston Basketball Stadium saga came to a head in 2018 when former Dunkley MP Chris Crewther made explosive allegations of serious misconduct under the protection of parliamentary privilege. The findings of a subsequent investigation into the FDBA were not released due to “legal professional privilege” (“Investigation into basketball board remains private”, The Times, 18/2/19). The $5.2 million which was allocated by the federal government to the Frankston Basketball Stadium project was later diverted to the Jubilee Park redevelopment. In response to the news that council would once again be pursuing funding for the redevelopment of the basketball stadium, FDBA CEO Wayne Holdsworth said “this is a wonderful step forward for our Association, a $45 million dollar investment into basketball facilities at Bardia Avenue.” “Our next challenge is to secure the funding, $30 million from state and federal governments to match the third contribution committed by council. This is a very positive day for the FDBA,” he said. FDBA President Tim Bower echoed the praise, saying “this was an extremely positive announcement for our 8,000 membership and the opportunity to provide more courts and better facilities for our membership is very welcomed.” PLANS are forming to redevelop the Frankston Basketball Stadium.

Residents vow to take on tower plan SEVENTY people have objected to plans to replace heritage buildings on Davey Street with two towers, standing 30 and 22 storeys each. A proposal has been put forward to demolish the existing structures on 8 to 12 Davey Street and replace them with the two tall towers. The new buildings will be used as a residential hotel with 200 rooms, four serviced apartments, and 116 apartments. There have been 70 objections submitted to Frankston Council, who are in the process of considering the proposal. A report repaired by Frankston Council officers read that the grounds of the objections included “the size and scale of the buildings dominating the landscape and city, overdevelopment of the site, perceived incompatibility with the aesthetic of a beach side city, concern it will set a precedent for high buildings, detract from streetscape, character and landscape values, no strategic justification for the divergence of increased height - no evidence of long term community benefit, and demolition of the contributory heritage buildings – should be incorporated.” Sections of the buildings on 10 and 12 Davey Street were demolished years ago to make way for an apartment building, which never ended up being built. In a report on the application, council officers wrote that “independent opinion supplied to council agrees that 10 Davey Street is unsound and could be demolished. However, the opinion does not accord with that supplied by the applicant in respect of 8 and 12 Davey Street, which were not found to be requiring demolition.” “Further, advice from three separate heritage architects is that the demolition of the structures would be contrary to planning policy objectives and would significantly impact upon the integrity of the Davey Street heritage precinct as identified by the heritage overlay applying to the land.”

FRANKSTON author Mickey Martin launched her fifth novel this month. Soul Keepers of Glenormiston South, the first book in Ms Martin’s Victoria Collection series, has been released. She says the book is a “fantasy romance with ecological and environmental messages.” “I’m currently in the process of writing the second novel in this collection, all of which are set in rural towns of Victoria, highlighting Glenormiston South, Noorat, Inglewood - the fourth novel in the series ends here in Frankston, titled Sweet Water Creek,” she said. “Writing this collection, in part, is to celebrate rural towns that I am passionate about in my home state, and also, after the beating Victoria took during the COVID-19 pandemic, I am hoping to do for Victoria tourism what Outlander did for Scotland.” The book is available from Amazon.

Tennis clubs complete merger Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE Frankston Centenary Tennis Club has moved into its new $4.2 million home. The club is an amalgamation of the Frankston Tennis Club and Frankston East Tennis Club. The merged club has moved into Centenary Park, which is now home to 13 fully upgraded hard surface courts. Frankston Tennis Club had been running for around 130 years. The club was based out of Yuille Street next to Frankston Hospital, but had to move after the state government purchased the land in 2017 to accommodate for the expansion of the hospital.

Plans were initially drawn up for a $30 million renovation of Centenary Park, but a failure to secure more funding meant that the upgrade ended up costing just over $4 million. Frankston Centenary Tennis Club President John McGillivray said the merge of the two tennis clubs “is now complete and has been a smooth and amicable process.” “The new plexi-cushion courts have been a success, with all players being impressed by the surface. The lighting of those courts is first class. The renovation and modernisation of the clubhouse is complete and has been well received by both members and visitors,” he said. “Membership is steadily growing and several tournaments have been booked to take place at the

new modern venue. Planning with Frankston City Council for the completion of landscaping is well underway and should be completed within the coming months. Special thanks to Frankston City Council and their recreation team for their involvement and assistance during the very important and challenging period of redeveloping the venue.” The redeveloped pavilion also features a social space, kitchen, storage and cool room, shower and toilet facilities, and a meeting room. Frankston Council allocated $1.15 million to the project. The state government put in $3 million, Frankston East Tennis Club and Frankston Tennis Club made a joint contribution of $35,000, and Tennis Australia paid $50,000.

Police patrol

with Brodie Cowburn

Multi-million dollar drug bust THREE people from Frankston were among twenty people arrested as part of a year-long police investigation into alleged drug trafficking. Police say they had been investigating alleged trafficking of methylamphetamine, cocaine and 1,4 butanediol. Over the course of their investigation they allegedly seized millions of dollars worth of methylamphetamine, traffickable amounts of cocaine, prescription medicines, thousands of steroid tablets, a homemade machine gun, around $650,000 in cash, and three cars. On 18 November police charged a 32-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman from Frankston with trafficking methylamphetamine, cocaine and 1,4 butanol, as well as committing an indictable offence while on bail. Both were bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates Court on 26 April 2022. On 20 July, police arrested a 28-yearold Balnarring man and 36-year-old Frankston man near Wodonga after allegedly finding more than 15 kgs of methylamphetamine in their car. Both men were charged with trafficking a commercial quantity of a drug of dependence. Among the other people arrested were a 32-year-old Keysborough man, charged with trafficking 1,4 butanediol, possession of ammunition, steroids, and the proceeds of crime, a 35-year-old Cranbourne man, charged with trafficking methylamphetamine and cocaine, as well as dealing with the proceeds of

crime, and a 26-year old Clarinda man, charged with possession of a handgun, possessing a firearm while person has been issued with a prohibition firearms order, drug offences and committing an indictable offence while on bail. On 23 November police swooped on more alleged offenders, raiding homes in Clarinda, East Brighton, Keysborough, Langwarrin, Port Melbourne, Cranbourne, Skye, Brighton and Frankston. Southern Metropolitan Region Commander Therese Fitzgerald said the Caulfield DRU has spent “large parts of the past twelve months painstakingly working on a plan to dismantle this organised crime syndicate, seize significant amounts of drugs, and ultimately, make our community a safer place.” “We now have a significant number of people with incredibly serious drug charges hanging over their heads – these people may have set out with images of easy money in their eyes, but they are now staring at the harsh reality of many years confined to a prison cell,” she said. “If you think you can make a quick dollar dealing drugs, think again. We have dedicated teams of detectives across the entire state keeping a close eye on you– whether you’re the head of a syndicate or a lowly drug runner, you will be caught. “If these drugs had made it to the streets, they would have caused untold damage, while their sale would have funded further criminal enterprises. Instead these substances will be destroyed without reaching a single drug user or fattening the wallet of an alleged dealer. Operations such as these not only destroy the financial foundations

that criminals are built upon, but they are equally as damaging in fracturing relationships and social connections between drug distributors in the community.”

Gun charges A MAN has been charged for allegedly trying to manufacture a gun in Frankston. At 8am on 24 November, police raided a home on Skye Road in Frankston. Inside they allegedly found a drill press, lathe machine and various firearms parts including springs, stocks and barrels. Police have charged a 45-year-old Frankston man with possess firearm parts for purpose of manufacture and breach firearm prohibition order. A 42-year-old Carrum Downs woman was also charged following the police search warrant. She was charged with possess drug of dependence and was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Refused breath test A FRANKSTON woman who refused an evidentiary breath test is expected to be charged. Police say they pulled over a red Mazda sedan on Skye Road when they saw it without headlights on at around 11pm on 24 November. The 39-year-old Skye woman underwent a roadside breath test, but police say she would not accompany them back to the station for an evidentiary breath test. Police say they will charge her with a number of drink-driving offences.

and ready for passengers to enjoy,” she said. “We’re excited to celebrate the end of these major works– which will improve safety and ease congestion in the bayside suburbs.” Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said “we promised to get rid of these dangerous and congested level crossings and we have. The new stations will benefit thousands of locals and travel times will be slashed. Thanks to the local community for their patience as the crews got in to complete these major works.” Works will continue on the stations until 2022. There is still work to do on landscaping, station car parks, and 11 kilometers of shared use paths. The LXRP estimated that the removed boom gates used to be down for up to 40 per cent of the morning peak. Around 40,000 people commute on the Frankston train line each day.

SANTA Claus is coming, he’s not very far away. With Christmas right around the corner, there will be lots of festive activities to do around Frankston in the weeks to come. Frankston’s Magical Christmas festival has begun. One of the highlights of the calendar is the carols, which will take place on 18 December at the Frankston Football Oval. The mayor Nathan Conroy encouraged residents to get out and embrace the Christmas spirit. “If you can hear those sleigh bells ringing, it means Santa Claus is coming to town and Frankston’s Magical Christmas is not too far away! Experience the magic and fun from 27 November to 24 December with something for everyone,” he said. “Sing along to all of your favourite Christmas songs at the carols. Make sure you get in early to secure your free tickets to this event as this is one you don’t want to miss. If Christmas movies are more your style grab your picnic rug and popcorn for the pop up outdoor cinemas every Friday and Saturday night from Friday the 3rd to Friday 17 December, in various locations around Frankston City. With kids under 12 free and $5 for those over 12 redeemable onsite at our food vendors, this is the perfect night out for the whole family.” Sources have told The Times that Santa Claus will be making appearances around Frankston, with a sausage sizzle at The Pines Forest Aquatic Centre expected to be one destination on his list. The Christmas pool party will take place on Friday 17 December from 4pm to 7pm. The Frankston Arts Centre will also host two Christmas shows - the Very Merry Christmas Variety Special on 3 December, and a show led by Silvie Paladino and the Melbourne Opera Orchestra and Chorus on 4 December.

Shire team rejects amputee’s plea for parking permit Apparently Mornington Peninsula Shire Council can perform miracles by replacing amputated arms. I’m a recent whole arm amputee of five weeks ago and made application through my doctor for a disabled parking label. The shire refused to issue me with a permit. It seems that my disability disappears because I am still mobile. According to the shire “An impairment must be assessed as likely to impact my mobility for at least six months in order to be eligible for a permit. I wonder if any member of the shire’s accessible parking permit team has ever tried to manoeuvre a shopping trolley through a car park or tried to get in or out of a car in a normal car park with one arm? But, as one caring member of the permit team pointed out, I should be grateful of still having both my legs so that I still have my mobility. John Cain, McCrae

Unify from the top If the new mayor [Cr Anthony Marsh] wants unity within Mornington Peninsula Shire Council maybe he should start by tidying up his performance (“New mayor to seek council unity” The News 23/11/21). How about a pledge not to have secret meetings to the exclusion of some councillors; a promise not to vote as a factional bloc; and consideration to not dump a century old tradition supported by more than half the peninsula’s residents of a prayer at the start of meetings? If a prayer is good enough for state and federal parliaments, it is probably good enough for us. Unity comes from the top. The performance of the new mayor in his first year suggests he was a major contributor to the lack of unity. Cr Marsh, you have one job, to represent the interests of the shire, not represent your own interests. Christopher K Coster, Mount Martha

Good luck to mayor It is interesting that our new mayor Cr Anthony Marsh wants Mornington Peninsula Shire Council unity as, in following the various articles in The News of recent times in which Cr Marsh is often mentioned, I have formed the opinion that he is one of the councillors contributing to this disunity (“New mayor to seek council unity” The News 23/11/21). Cr Marsh’s first urgent motion before his feet had hit the floor was to call for the removal of the council prayer at council meetings, a step divisive in itself. He nominated himself to join the Bass Park

Trust - a position held by Cr David Gill - hardly a move to create friendly relations with a fellow councillor. Tensions were exposed at a council meeting when Cr Marsh’s qualifications were questioned when he was nominated “champion for small business”. Cr Marsh said it was unfortunate that tensions were targeted at him and that he didn’t get what the problem was. Cr Marsh was one of the six councillors joining forces to pass an amendment that apparently conferred unprecedented power on the CEO and blindsided the other five councillors in this decision making. It is evident that a group has already been formed that outnumbers and out votes the other five. Cr Marsh says as mayor he will try to unify the council more so than it had been over the past 12 months and that he does not see his role as pushing his own views but as a leader of a team. Good luck. I think he will have an uphill battle to pour oil on troubled waters when so much damage has already been done and as many residents have become disenchanted in the process. Beverley Treloar, Mornington

Change mayoral system Sorry, I couldn’t stomach the front page mug shot of Cr Anthony Marsh, who I see as being previously missing in action from councillor duties in Briars Ward, ex-RAAF officer and trainee astronaut, judging by his claim to hold an aerospace engineering degree with a debatable vocational value here in a minnow-sized Australian space industry. If he is so academically qualified, why isn’t he holding a permanent professional highly paid salaried government job if you discount the $100,000 a year remuneration plus benefits, he is going to get given by us ratepayers for serving local government? This is the man who had nothing better than to obfuscate and deviate from the norm when prattling that, as a millennial, he couldn’t spiritually tune into a simple universal message of peace and cooperation with the council prayer. As an active community unpaid person, I can’t recall any positive reports into good works by this councillor either in Briars Ward, where he’s meant to operate, mediate and consult with constituents, or in wider council activities. Indeed, he created disunity by applying for posts that were controversial and appeared designed to upset more experienced councillors. Why do we ratepayers, who stand apart from this insidious process of choosing a mayor, tolerate it when, on occasions, the candidate is neither experienced nor earning respect by visible

and successful wider community participation? We need a better system of rewarding deserving and community worthwhile citizens similar to the American system where outstanding noncouncil candidates can stand for office. As for this mayor calling for unifying the council, I am not holding my breath. Ian Morrison, convenor Mount Eliza Community Alliance

Potholes return I live in Safety Beach and regularly use the section of Marine Drive between Mason Avenue and the Nepean Highway corner. Not a week goes by without large potholes appearing on this road. I complained to Mornington Peninsula Shire but was informed this road is the responsibility of VicRoads. Practically every week a team of six to 10 contractors with their trucks arrive to patch up the holes. Within a week they are just as bad or worse than before the repair. What qualifications does this company or its workers have in road maintenance? It must be costing taxpayers an enormous amount to have this work done every week. Jeff Becker, Safety Beach

Schoolies downside Who planned these schoolies’ events for Rye (“Schoolies tickets to Rye celebrations” The News 23/11/21)? I’m guessing they don’t live anywhere near the dumping ground, also known as the Rye foreshore. Music till 11pm Saturday, 10pm Sunday. And the hours after 11pm and 10pm, usually until 5am? Never mind we residents. So much for sharing and caring. It’s no wonder we look on our non-Rye resident councillors with disgust. “Organised safe and fun events for schoolies” or “life long memories in a safe environment”? The poor darlings have had it so tough. Pop along sometime, around 2am, join in the fun, see the cars revving up and down Campbell Lane, the fireworks, the unforgotten screamers, the wonderful “duff duff” music, and leftover waste from the upturned blue bins. Cliff Ellen, Rye

Power shortcomings Electricity production has very little to do with the distribution network (“Expensive underground” Letters 23/11/21). Ever since the privatisation of both to a whole host of different carpetbaggers, the profit of private companies seems to be more important than the safety of our citizens. How many people is the community prepared to sacrifice to future bushfires caused by above ground and badly maintained transmission lines? The federal government’s decades long fight against any meaningful action on Australia’s move to clean energy is the reason we’re still burning coal for energy. I have put some solar power on my roof to lower my carbon foot print.

Some years ago, my brother visited from Austria and was perplexed by our third world electricity infrastructure. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring beach

Fears for Arthurs Seat As a resident on the Mornington Peninsula, I’m concerned with the impact a quarry proposed by The Ross Trust will have on iconic Arthurs Seat Hill. The monstrous quarry could see 93 acres of bushland and native habitat bulldozed to open a 190 metre pit, making a hole on the hill the size of Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens. We’ll lose majestic gums, giant ferns, banksia trees and rare native plant species, Imagine the daily blasting noise, dust pollution and extra trucks on our roads. The wildlife will become collateral damage if these 70-100 year old trees come tumbling down to make way for this quarry. Many will die, be frightened, have their habitat destroyed and some will wander dangerously onto the road. The survivors will need to find alternative water supplies because Sheepwash Creek will be destroyed. Our birdlife, wallabies, kangaroos and koalas don’t stand a chance. If this were proposed in other popular tourism areas like the Yarra Valley or Dandenong Ranges, I strongly doubt it would go ahead. Next time you visit the area and you notice hundreds of signs on local houses, cars and on business windows saying Save Arthurs Seat, this is what it’s all about. Tanina Osborne, Arthurs Seat

Unfulfilled promise With the upcoming federal election looming, I must assume our MP for Flinders Greg Hunt, will again promise if re-elected to build the previously, but still undelivered Mornington Peninsula freeway extension over Jetty Road Rosebud. I guess it must have slipped his mind with everything that has happened over the past couple of years. The earthworks for the missing bridge have been in place for decades but are nothing more than wasted space. It isn’t tourist time yet, but the traffic hold-ups at the Jetty Road roundabouts at peak times are getting worse by the week. I’m confident the Labor candidate will promise and then deliver the much-needed overpass if elected, just as our Labor state premier [Daniel Andrews] always delivers his promised infrastructure projects, such as removing level crossings, building rail tunnels, north-east link and second Yarra crossing. Rob Hall, Rosebud Editor: The spring 2019 edition of Mr Hunt’s Flinders Community News said the federal government had allocated $75 million to fix the “traffic nightmare” at Jetty Road, Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. However, completion of the upgrades depended on state government involvement.

Trained for the job AN apprenticeship training program with 100 per cent success rate has won a national award for Esso Australia and training company, WPC Group. The Australian Apprenticeships – Employer Award follows the success of the customised mentored apprenticeship program which, since its inception in 2018, has hired and trained 42 apprentices and trainees across Esso work sites at Longford in Gippsland and Long Island Point, Hastings. All apprentices and trainees hired through the program remain on the job with Esso, with many now qualified tradespeople. “This program has been a fantastic success for Esso Australia, facilitating a range of benefits across our organisation including improved productivity, greater workforce flexibility and cost savings, in addition to the cultural benefits that youthful enthusiasm and improved diversity brings to the workforce,” Esso’s lead country manager Dylan Pugh said. WPC’s general manager Andrew Sezonov said working with Esso “has been a

rich and rewarding experience”. “Esso Australia operates in complex and precision-driven work environments, with highly specialised skills needs. So, this a rare opportunity to create, from scratch, a workplacespecific apprentice and trainee training program,” he said. “To re-imagine how an apprentice and trainee training program could be structured, and incorporate new approaches to support and mentor our apprentices and trainees to succeed, and to then achieve a 100 per cent retention rate after three years, is remarkable – and professionally rewarding for everyone involved.” Mr Sezonov said the program could be a solution for large and small employers “to the enduring problems of skills shortages and apprentice and trainee retention”.

ARTISTS FEATURE AT 50TH ART SHOW THE 50th Anniversary Mornington Art Show will again feature two popular quality artists among the 700 or more paintings on display. Yesim Gozukara finds joy and excitement in creating bold, dynamic, expressive contemporary paintings in watercolour. Her subjects are inspired from her extensive travels within Australia and overseas. She uses the quality of watercolour pigments to create different textural effects. Yesim has been pursuing her ambition and painting with passion in her home studio based in Melbourne, while concurrently working as a senior experimental scientist for the last 30 years. Her award winning paintings have been featured in six solo and numerous joint exhibitions such as the National Art and Sculpture Museum, Izmir, the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne and many prestigious art shows. The Mornington Art show is delighted to be able to present Yesim’s work to our community Jayne Henderson has had a long association with the beautiful scenes around the beaches and cliffs of the Mornington Peninsula. Her use of light captures the essence of the natural beauty of the area. She is passionate about the beauty of the beach and her

paintings display great attention to detail and her love of the bayside subject matter. Jayne’s style is strong and vigorous, showing the influence of the Australian impressionists she so admires. At affordable prices, many local residents have added samples of Jayne Henderson’s work to their walls. By popular demand, the Mornington Art Show is proud to again display the work of this fine artist. Rotarian John Renowden said “I believe these fine artists will be in strong demand at our Anniversary Art Show. Along with around 700 exhibits the 2022 show is shaping as one of our best ever displays of quality art ” The Mornington Art Show will be held at the newly constructed Studio and Community House, Corner of Wilson’s Road and Nepean Highway Mornington. Opening night is Jan 20th and the show will run daily 10 am-5pm up until its final day on 26 Jan , Australia Day.

GIVE EXPERIENCES INSTEAD OF GIFTS AS 2021 draws to a close, one thing many Victorians will agree on is that we have seen more of our own homes and all the stuff in them than we had planned this year. Instead of giving loved ones more stuff this Christmas, Frankston Arts Centre is encouraging the community to treat family to an experience they will remember and rave about for years to come. Gifts that create memories are perfect for all ages, and the FAC has just the ticket for the whole family in 2022. For the kids, see the classic story book ‘Magic Beach’ live on stage, be enthralled by the humorous story of ‘Whalebone’ and enjoy ‘Bluey’s Big Play’ all on stage in January 2022. In March, be delighted by the awardwinning film ‘A Boy Called Sailboat’ with the soundtrack played live by the Grigoryan Brothers. Later in 2022, kids will love ‘Wolfgang’s Magical Musical Circus’ by internationally renowned Circa Contemporary Circus. Comedy fans will get the year off to a great start with ‘MONO: A Three-Person One-Man Show’ featuring Noeline Brown, Max Gillies and John Wood in February. We all need a good laugh, and Ross Noble will certainly be providing those when he performs ‘On The Go’ in the theatre in March. For the music fans, a huge selection of shows are heading to Frankston including ‘The King of Rock & The Prince of Pop’ just before Christmas. In February, the beautiful singer Mirusia presents her ‘A Salute to the Seekers’ show, and Australian music icon John Williamson brings his ‘Winding Back’ tour to Frankston, followed by a walk down memory lane with

‘Buddy Holly In Concert: The Touring Years’, the ‘Neil Diamond Super Hits Show’ and the hit songs of ‘The Big Chill’. March is a month for music-lovers with ‘Dancing in the Shadows of Motown’ featuring

a 10-piece band and internationally acclaimed artists. Two of the greatest vocalists of all time will be celebrated in ‘The Cocker Ronstadt Experience’ and the world’s number one ABBA show ‘Bjorn Again: Mamma Mia! We Are Back

Again Tour’ return to Frankston for what will be another sell-out show. Later in the year, check-in to the ‘Hotel California: The Eagles Experience’ for a captivating live concert, be treated to Pink Floyd’s biggest smash hits in ‘Echoes of Pink Floyd: A Journey through Time’, or go on a sonic journey through Joni Mitchell’s life with ‘BLUE: The Songs of Joni Mitchell’. Take a trip down memory lane with ‘The Australian Bee Gees Show’, experience the incredible ‘QUEEN: Bohemian Rhapsody’ and enjoy the hits of ‘Invincible: The Helen Reddy Story’. In July, ‘The Celebration of Swing’ features the unforgettable music from the big bands of the 1940s played by Australia’s top instrumental soloists. Lovers of dance will be entranced by Irish music and dance sensation ‘A Taste of Ireland’, and the Victorian State Ballet performances of ‘Anastasia’ and ‘The Nutcracker’. Immerse yourself in the spectacular ‘Celtic Illusion Reimagined’ and then cruise back to the bopping, rocking 50s and 60s with ‘Shake Rattle ‘n’ Roll’. Theatre fans will enjoy the first selection of the 2022 Season at FAC – featuring critically acclaimed productions of ‘King of Pigs’ and ‘Black Cockatoo’. For the Music Theatre fans, ‘Margaret Fulton The Musical’ - a delightful musical romp following Margaret’s journey from humble beginnings to super-stardom hits the stage in Cube 37 in August.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

A Higher Elementary School for Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough INTRODUCED by Mr Downward, M.L.A., a deputation consisting of Crs. Oates, Wells and Mr L. R. N. Utber, waited upon the Director of Education on Wednesday last to urge the establishment of a higher elementary school at Frankston. It was explained that a site covering six acres in a suitable position was available, and that the required number of pupils for the type of school suggested had undertaken to attend. It was also stated that residents of Frankston and the adjoining districts were prepared to subscribe £1000 towards the cost of the proposed school. The Director gave a sympathetic reply, and it was arranged that Mr M. P. Hansen, chief inspector of secondary schools, should visit Frankston on Thursday, 1st December, to meet local residents and discuss proposals on the ground. Cr Mason, chairman of the shire council sub-committee, appointed to deal with this matter, has communicated with the secretary of the Peninsula Schools’ Association, urging that delegates from all schools interested attend at Frankston on Thursday next, at noon, for the purpose of meeting Mr Hansen. It is of vital importance that enthusiasm should be shown in this matter, as the Government appears to be very favorably disposed towards Frankston’s application. *** THE “welcome home” to Captain Bruce, M.H.R., takes place at Frankston tonight. The Prime Minister will be present.

*** THE combined schools’ picnic to Royal Park took place today, and was very largely attended. *** THE death is reported from Euroa, of Sergeant William Hy. McCormack, who was stationed at Frankston for some years. He was 56 years of age, and had been a member of the Police Force for over 30 years. *** ON Sunday last the death occurred of Mrs Catherine Crampton, widow of the late Mr Harry Crampton, at the residence of her sister, Lewis Street, Frankston. The funeral took place on Tuesday, Mr Watkins, Presbyterian Minister, conducting the service at the graveside. *** THE case against Charles Henry Morgan for having attempted to have carnal knowledge of a little girl, 10 years of age, at Langwarrin on Oct 31 came before Mr Justice Mann in the Criminal Court last week. The Crown accepted Morgan’s plea of guilty of an indecent assault, and abandoned the more serious charge. Morgan had to be assured by counsel that “it was unlikely that be would be hanged” before he pleaded guilty. The circumstances of the case were that he met the little girl whilst she was returning from school, and cried out “Look out for the snake !” As the child turned away, he caught her, and dragged her into the bushes. When arrested by the Frankston Police, he denied that he was the man

who was wanted. The medical evidence by Dr Maxwell showed that, whilst there were marks of violence on the body no serious offence had been committed. Dr Maxwell stated that Morgan was of low mentality. Accused’s counsel stated that Morgan was a returned soldier who suffered from shell shock, and had been treated at Mont Park Hospital for mental and nervous diseases. There had been some unhappy differences between accused and his wife at Cheltenham, and it was claimed that such a man would probably have less restraint over himself than normal person. Accused was remanded for sentence. *** MR J. Jones, of Caulfield, is erecting a saw milling and planing plant on the Burns Estate, which lies between the Hastings and Cranbourne roads, close to Mr Werner’s mansion. Mr Jones was impressed by the fact that the lots in the Burns Estate are much the cheapest on offer in a part of Frankston which, with electrification and the making of the subway from the island platform, must go ahead by leaps and bounds. He is entering on the erection of a four roomed residence on the allotment adjoining the one on which his plant stands. That done, he proposes to erect other houses for sale, on blocks in the estate which Mr Macmaster has advertised in the “Standard” from time to time. The enterprise on which Mr Jones has embarked should make building on and about Cranbourne and Hastings

roads easier and cheaper, and will be welcomed by all who want to see the district progress. *** ON Saturday, 12th November, the Hastings tennis players visited Tyabb, and met the local players in a match. The teams were – Hastings – Messrs Hoban (capt), Davis, Haybeck, Shea, Mesdames Kay, Jacobson, Haybeck and Miss Reid. Tyabb – Messrs Sexton (capt.), L. Cole, P. Mair, H. Russell, Misses V. Cole, V. Barrett, A. Lister and L. Slocombe. After a very enjoyable afternoon’s play, Tyabb ran out victors by 38 games to 32. Some of the Tyabb players, who are new to match tennis, suffered a bit from nerves at first but soon found their game. Last Saturday, 19th November, the return match was played at Hastings. The Tyabb team was the same as before with the exception that Mr H. King took the place of Mr Russell. Rain caused the play to be a bit late in starting, but a start was made about 3.30. Tyabb were again victors, by the narrow margin of two games. Needless to say the Tyabb players are very pleased with themselves, and hope that their success will continue in other matches. *** A QUESTION of Legality To the Editor Sir, On two occasions lately the local Justices of the Peace have “cleared the court” at Frankston and conducted the cases behind closed doors.

Without questioning the morality or desirability of the procedure, one might be pardoned for presuming to doubt its legality. The Lord Chief Justice of England (Lord Haldane) has ruled that no British court can conduct its cases behind closed doors – an eminent opinion that was endorsed up to the hilt by the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords in one notable test case. The late Sir Samuel Griffith (Chief Justice of Australia) and the late Sir John Madden (Chief Justice of Victoria) also ruled, I believe, to the same effect. The Higher Courts conduct ALL business with open doors, and I have heard one police magistrate in the city declare that he had not the power to conduct a case behind closed doors. The two local cases specially referred to seem to support my viewpoint. In each instance, the cases were heard behind closed doors by local justices, and afterwards conducted in open court by Mr Justice Mann and Police Magistrate Knight without any suggestion of closing the doors. Personally, I am not very much worried about it, but curiosity prompts me to try and find out who is right – the Chief Justices of England and Australia, and other eminent authorities, who have made Law their life–long study, or Frankston’s honorary justices!

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A Question Mark Hanging Over All Of Us By Stuart McCullough LET me say at the outset, I’m not a fan. Questions don’t belong on billboards, not ever. As hapless commuters whiz past, they’re confronted with a demand for an answer but without any opportunity to supply it. Such is the nature of traffic. There’s barely enough time to absorb the question, much less cogitate and produce an answer of any value. It’s simply unfair on everyone. But this billboard was especially heinous. It was bright yellow with big black text ALL IN UPPER CASE WHICH IS VERY, VERY ANNOYING. The billboard seemed to be questioning the need for lockdowns or vaccinations or both in combination when it’s still possible to contract and pass on Covid. Or something like that. There may have been a gratuitous aside about winged monkeys or a complaint that cereal boxes rarely come with free toys anymore, I can’t really remember – it all happened so quickly. And while there’s a very simple answer to the billboard’s Covid question (‘Because science’ springs to mind), the banal nature of the enquiry was only one of its problems. There was way too much text on the billboard. It was as though someone had vomited random words that had then been put on display as a warning to others against the dangers of drinking seawater. Or similar. There were words all over the place. The first chapter of ‘Lolita’ has fewer words than this obnoxious billboard. It was the advertising equivalent of using a loudhailer to scream at the moon while pushing a shopping trolley. It

PAGE 20

Frankston Times

read like something you’d expect someone to mutter under their breath as they wrap themselves in a space blanket shortly before smearing their body with peanut butter as a protection against the wrath of the sun god. But that wasn’t the worst of it. For all that text and all that UPPER CASE screaming, the question lacked one,

30 November 2021

fundamental thing. A question mark. It’s one thing to deny Covid. It’s another thing completely to deny the need for punctuation. Somewhat ironically it begs the question; what kind of deranged non-punctuating pervert leaves a question mark off the end of a question? (See what I did there? I put a question mark at the end of my

question. Granted, the author of that pitiful billboard would consider that showing off, but there are standards to uphold.) Brace yourself – here’s where it gets super dodgy. This catastrophic upper case, punctuation-denying piece of anti-science word vomit bore the name of a political party. The name of that political party featured the words ‘United’ and ‘Australia’ right next together without even a hint of irony. How odd it is that such a divisive statement should come from someone who declares themselves interested in unity. Clearly, abandoning question marks is the least of their problems. Any organisation who misapprehends the meaning of the term ‘united’ is going to struggle with even the most basic medical advice, starting from ‘don’t stick a knife in an electrical socket’ right through to ‘don’t inject yourself with bleach to ward off coronavirus’. We’ve come so far and given up so much to get here. Billboards like this from people who struggle with basic sentence structure are more a form of heckling than anything else. Indeed, the billboard could just as easily have featured a hand with a single raised finger and communicated much the same sentiment with the added bonus of not having offended the laws of grammar. It must be said that there are quite a few interstate politicians who seem to be making these kinds of noises. Mostly, they come from parts of the country that have been relatively unscathed by the pandemic. They’ve given up little, when compared to eve-

ryone here. My only hope is that they don’t start turning up here in an illfated attempt to capitalise on people’s frustrations. On the plus side, though, they won’t need to catch a plane to get here; having clearly decided to do all their travelling by bandwagon from this point on. I was talking to a friend of mine who’d received multiple text messages from a particular politician spouting sentiments that they, no doubt, believe are billboard worthy. She found it distressing and I think it’s understandable. There’s something awful about being told by someone that everything you’ve endured or sacrificed over the past two years was for nothing. To have someone attack that sense of consensus is upsetting. I honestly believe they don’t know how much harm they’re doing. I have a question of my own. Should people who defy the laws of grammar be permitted to run for high office? The answer, of course, is ‘no’ but that’s unlikely to deter them from doing so. Enough’s enough. I’m going to get myself a big old bucket of paint and put that question mark at the end of the billboard myself. And, while I’m there, delete the word ‘United’ – which I’m beginning to think may be a simple spelling error – and replace it with ‘Untied’. That would make more sense. If those responsible for the billboard are reading this – assuming you can, in fact, read; consider replacing the billboard with a mirror and take a long, hard look at yourselves. Just saying. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

High five for Melino at Chelsea SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie CARLO Melino’s name has been synonymous with local football since the ’90s and 2022 will mark his fifth successive season as head coach of State 4 club Chelsea. The Melino family moved from Adelaide to the Victorian capital in 1996 after Melino’s father bought a Nissan dealership on the peninsula. Just 14 years old the teenager had spent his junior days at Adelaide City and had played in its under-18s when he was just 13. Here he played in the reserves at Glen Eira, spent a season at Bentleigh Greens alternating between the National Youth League and reserves squads then joined Frankston Pines in 1999 where he was top scorer in the reserves. At the end of that season ongoing groin problems led to a hip operation that sidelined him for three years and when he came back he was forced to play in the lower leagues. Melino played with Seaford United, Chelsea Hajduk then Frankston Strikers where a knee injury during pre-season training required reconstructive surgery. During his recovery Seaford coach Billy Rae asked him to coach the reserves and he agreed. Melino joined Berwick Kings for the 2009 season as player-coach of the reserves then had short spells at Doveton and Cranbourne before deciding to hang up his boots. He coached Endeavour United’s reserves for three years then assisted Billy Natsoulis at Doveton before being named Endeavour’s senior coach for the 2015 season. That three-year spell ended when he was named head coach at Chelsea for 2018. His first year at Edithvale Recreation Reserve was spectacular as he engineered a title triumph in State 5 with a squad whose average age was just 22. While his next few seasons haven’t been as successful his focus has been on consolidation and development and is in sync with the wishes of the committee that continues to support him in his role. “Obviously the club wants us to finish as high as we can but they don’t say ‘here’s your budget so go and bring in some big players and get pro-

moted’,” Melino said. “They don’t want to go up the leagues then when the money dries up come back down again. “They want to be a sustainable club where culture comes first and that aligns with me. “I just love the stories about players in our senior squad who have been with our juniors and come all the way through to the seniors and that’s what sustainability is about. “And when you create a good culture players want to come because of the environment. “Put it this way – they don’t come to Chelsea for the money.” While he enjoyed the championship celebrations at the end of the 2018 season he wasn’t blinded by the spotlight of success. Early in his tenure he had detected a lack of combativeness among his young players and knew he had to address that issue. “Skill wasn’t an issue but we had to harden up

Will guides Wil John to Jericho Cup victory HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based jockey Will Gordon claimed the biggest win of his career in Sunday’s Jericho Cup (4600m) at Warrnambool but was quick to modestly deflect any of the credit. Gordon sat on the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained stayer Wil John for the first time in Australia’s longest flat race and perfectly timed his ride to win the contest by a length. Despite the well-executed winning ride, Gordon immediately stated that “its not about me today”. “It’s about the horse, the team and the legacy of the race,” he said post-race. “It’s just an honour to win the Jericho Cup.” “This is at the top of them (his biggest race wins) isn’t it.” The Jericho Cup ran for the fourth year straight on Sunday to honour one of Australia’s greatest war horses, Bill the Bastard (who won the former Jericho Cup in 1918), the Australian light horsemen and their mounts known as the Walers. In fine remembrance of the Walers, Wil John carted the 70kgs topweight to win the feature race in a time of 5:21.03.

“He’s just a tough horse. He really dug deep for me” Gordon said. “He’s a big, long bugger but he stuck his neck out and I’m just thrilled he could get the job done for all of his connections.” Maher has trained multiple Group 1 winners for winning owners Colin and Janice McKenna over the years but it was evident that this win was something special for the two of them. “[Wil John’s] mother was one of the first yearlings I bought for Colin and Janice, and to breed it and go through the whole ride and win a race like this, it’s very, very special. I’m a bit lost for words,” Maher said post-race. The sentiments were certainly shared by businessman Colin McKenna who received a Member Of the Order Of Australia in this year’s Australia Day honours. “My father and my father-in-law and uncles all went to war and it’s bloody special,” he said. “All our friends are in [Wil John], we reckon he has 200 supporters here today. We love the horse, Janice and I. “It’s more than just winning the race, it’s how you win the race and who wins it with you, it’s an amazing feeling.”

and we started doing a lot of body-on-body work that season and while we had some big wins they weren’t against the other top three or four clubs. “And when we got into State 4 the physical side of the game went up a notch and every week was a tough game. “We brought in five or six 25- to 35-year-olds and that made us more resilient and we were able to consolidate our position.” Melino expects the improvement in dealing with the physical aspects of State 4 to continue next season and cites vice-captain Luke D’Alessandro as an example. “His improvement has been immense. “Some of the tackles he wins are tremendous and he wouldn’t have won them like that back in 2018. “That’s the same for a lot of the younger players who now understand that at this level you have to turn up and you have to put in for 90 minutes. “You can’t afford to switch off. “If you switch off against Dave Greening or Dylan Waugh they’ll score.” Off the pitch Chelsea will maintain its preference for home games on Friday nights as the club sees those fixtures as an important part of growth. “The upstairs part of the clubrooms becomes a restaurant and we have a lady called Deidre who lays out the tables and makes the most unbelievable food,” Melino said. “For a small fee you book a table and we have 50 or more dining there every home game and people love it. “For the boys it gives them a real sense of being at a senior club. “I also want to mention that Chelsea have been wonderful to me and John Zecola, Carlo Bellino, Martin and Karen Vella and Rob Giabardo and the rest of the committee have always supported me and the senior squad and Chris Porteous has been our ressies coach and my senior assistant

since 2019.” Melino’s involvement in football makes great demands on his time especially for a man with a young family and he readily acknowledges the part his partner plays in making this possible. “I wouldn’t be able to do what I love over the past 14 years without the wonderful support of my beautiful wife Kate who lets me fulfill my passion for the sport and looks after our three cheeky kids Amila,6, and the two-year-old twins Luca and Raphael.” Melino turned 40 last Friday and 2022 will be his eighth season as a senior coach. No doubt opposition clubs in State 4 will be hoping that his record of one title every four years is not maintained. Meanwhile in NPL2 news Jacob Brito has become Langwarrin’s third new signing in the offseason. The teenager was signed from Dandenong City and joins Ryan Paczkowski and James Kelly in boosting the club’s attacking options for 2022. Langy will play Essendon Royals in a friendly at Lawton Park on Saturday 29 January at 1pm and 3pm a week after hosting the annual Steve Wallace Cup. In State 2 Peninsula Strikers started pre-season training last week and 33 players attended. The club is hopeful of announcing that Danny Brooks, Jai Power and Riley Anderton have signed on again. Head coach Donn Delaney has arranged a preseason friendly schedule kicking off in the New Year with a clash against Frankston Pines on Saturday 15 January (venue to be decided). The other games are against South Yarra on Saturday 29 January (Centenary Park 1pm & 3pm), Dandenong South on Saturday 5 February (Centenary Park 1pm & 3pm), Chelsea on Saturday 12 February (1pm & 3pm) and Noble Park on Saturday 19 February (Centenary Park 1pm & 3pm).
