CEO Kansas trip costs ratepayers Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Voices from the valleys: James Marrs, left, Lindsay Richardson and Gordon Donaldson enjoy singing for the Australian Welsh Male Choir’s Frankston group. Picture: Gary Sissons

Wales calling for choir singers MEN with a penchant for singing and who can carry a tune are invited to be part of the Australian Welsh Male Choir’s Frankston group.

The choristers, who will perform at a combined concert with the Cranbourne Chorale Frankston this week and are touring Asia next year, are seeking new voices to join up in time for a UK tour in 2018.

The Asian tour will take in Taipei, Beijing and Shanghai, and the choir will perform with local groups, including with the Hong Kong Welsh Male Choir.

Choir secretary James Marrs said the main requirement was a love of singing and sharing the joy of music with others.

“It’s lots of fun and there are opportunities for friendship and mentoring,” he said.

Mornington Peninsula resident and choir member Geoff Selby said several men also sang with the School of Hard Knocks, Voices of Frankston, and had forged a supportive,

mentoring role with the singers.

The 60-member choir is affiliated with the Association of Welsh Male Choirs based in Wales and sings in four-part male harmony, the traditional format for Welsh choirs.

The Australian Welsh Male Choir recently celebrated its 40th anniversary of providing enjoyment and entertainment to music lovers around the world.

The choir regularly provide concerts throughout Australia, and in 1984, when touring the UK, became the first choir from outside Wales to sing at the 1000 Voice Festival of Male Choirs at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

The choir - directed by Tom Buchanan – is well travelled and has returned to the UK several times since then. Hong Kong, China and Taiwan is on the itinerary for March 2017.

The Australian Welsh Male Choir and the Cranbourne Chorale will sing Christmas music at Frankston Uniting Church, High St, on 3 December, 2pm.

RATEPAYERS will foot part of the bill for a trip to Kansas by two Frankston Council executives in September.

Council CEO Dennis Hovenden and community services manager Gillian Kay travelled to the US to attend an International City/County Management Association event for 10 days in September, including overseas travel time.

Six weeks after initial inquiries about the Kansas trip, Mr Hovenden confirmed expenses of about $5000 including ICMA conference registration, flights and accommodation will be billed to ratepayers.

“The ICMA covered costs related to the board meeting, while council paid half of the expenses to attend the conference at a total of approximately $3100,” a statement from Mr Hovenden said.

The CEO said council sent representatives to the ICMA conference for “professional development, exploration of contemporary practice, international leadership and mentoring and exploring opioid epidemic and solution”.

Mr Hovenden said the ICMA usually covers the costs of board members to attend meetings except when a board meeting coincides with an annual conference.

The CEO is an ICMA regional vice president and is one of three international representatives on the 21-member board of the US organisation that

describes itself as “the professional and educational association for appointed local government administrators throughout the world”.

“Attendance at both the board meeting and conference is a part of my professional development and allowed which resulted in me having to submit an annual leave request for one day,” Mr Hovenden said.

“It should be noted that as is the case always when I am involved in [ICMA] board duties or on annual leave I still make myself available to the mayor, councillors and staff to respond to any issues and indeed follow the progress of various issues.”

The mayor Cr Brian Cunial called unanswered questions about the CEO’s whereabouts last month an “abhorrent and deeply regrettable” media intrusion into Mr Hovenden’s family life (“’Intrusive’ CEO trip questions blasted”, The Times 28/11/16).

Mr Hovenden attended an ICMA conference in Georgia for three days in November then stayed on in the US for a personal holiday. The mayor said council did not pay any expenses.

ICMA board members will meet again in Las Vegas in February next year, Colorado next June and Texas in October.

A 2-4 December “conference planners” meeting was held in San Antonio in Texas. Mr Hovenden said in his statement late on Friday afternoon that he did not head to San Antonio.

“This is a subcommittee of the main board and I am not involved.”

Nature strip plan Trump-ed Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au THE blossoming of tens of thousands of nature strips across Frankston has been put on ice despite a councillor’s assertion that the looming reality of a Donald Trump presidency in the US showed people want to grow their own food.

Councillors at last Monday’s public council meeting decided 4-5 not to push ahead with a feasibility study to determine if Frankston residents could safely plant flowers and vegetables on councilowned nature strips.

South ward councillor Steve Toms wanted councillors to back his proposal

to have council officers report back to councillors on any benefits and risks if a ban on planting flowers and veggies was abolished.

“This practice is successfully managed within other councils around Victoria and interstate,” Cr Toms’ notice of motion stated.

“With its sustainable city reputation, Frankston City Council should support and encourage innovative and creative practices within the community which could also benefit wildlife and be attractive to the eye.”

Cr Sandra Mayer supported the planting of veggies on nature strips and said Donald Trump was elected US President because people are unhappy at “the 1 per

cent” controlling the world’s food supply.

“Monsanto owns a lot of the seed supply around the world and our food supply,” Cr Mayer said.

“People are now rebelling against [it] thus why Donald Trump has been elected. People are fed up. We’ve got to start taking control back. Not everyone has a garden.”

Cr Mayer said people concerned about the cost of rates and the cost of living could see financial stress “eased a little bit” if they are allowed to grow their own food on nature strips.

Cr Toms said the beautification and food growing potential of nature strips was raised by many ratepayers when he

doorknocked on the campaign trail before last month’s council elections.

“Residents were very keen, particularly in Frankston South, to plant on their nature strips – this is commonly referred to as ‘verge planting’ and it’s something that happens around … this wonderful country of ours.”

Some other councillors were wary of legal implications for council. Ratepayers could face legal costs if accidents occurred on nature strips depending on any changes made by homeowners, Cr Glenn Aitken said.

“You could have garden stakes … at an angle and a kid runs into it, who is liable?

Is it the person who put the stake in? The reality is if council said you could put the

stake in and a kid pokes their eye out it could be deemed, I would have thought, that council would have a degree of liability.”

Vegetation growing over footpaths could be another problem, according to Cr Colin Hampton.

Crs Brian Cunial, Hampton, Mayer and Toms voted to request a council officer report on lifting any ban on nature strip plantings.

Crs Aitken, Bolam, Lillian O’Connor, Michael O’Reilly and Quinn McCormack did not back a report.

Ratepayers in neighbouring Mornington Peninsula Shire can apply for a permit to make “landscape alterations” with council approval to nature strips.

Weed killer change in the air Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council will investigate the use of steam instead of a potentially harmful pesticide as a weed killer across the region.

Councillors unanimously backed Cr Sandra Mayer’s proposal to have council officers investigate a steam alternative to the existing Roundup weed killer, containing glyphosate, sprayed by council workers.

Cr Mayer noted scientific research by organisations such as The International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organisation, classified glyphosate as “probably cacogenic

to humans”.

The potential for the pesticide to cause cancer was not something council could ignore, she said.

“Once upon a time we didn’t think smoking was bad for us and look at where we are now,” Cr Mayer said.

“This is going to be one of the next big things.”

She said some toothpastes and shampoos contain “harmful things” including SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate) and SLES (sodium laureth sulphate), used in engine degreaser.

“These things are hidden and there’s a lot of money covering up all these sort of things.”

Cr Mayer said a resident informed her that Roundup is sprayed on a leash-free

area at Overton Park.

“A precautionary principle should apply or at the very least, far stricter protocols should be adhered to when sprayed in the vicinity of children.”

Cr Glenn Aitken agreed pesticides need to be examined to determine any harmful effects.

“I find it appalling that in this day and age there is still such a carefree and ungoverned use of herbicides in our society,” he said.

A council officer’s report tabled at the council meeting noted glyphosate-based weed killers are “the most effective form of weed control”.

“At the levels used by council it is not considered a hazardous material and is therefore a low risk to aquatic life,

animals and human health,” the report stated.

Steam was less effective in controlling weeds, according to the report.

“Steam treatment is required more frequently e.g. monthly compared to quarterly. It is approximately three times more expensive as herbicide control and it should be noted that, in conjunction with steam control, a complimentary herbicide program is still required as steam won’t eradicate 100 per cent of weeds.”

Council officers will now report back to councillors at December’s council meeting about the possibility of using steam as council’s preferred weed killer.

Bayside Council decided earlier this year to order its staff to use pine oil and

steam to control weeds in areas where children play and to limit the use of herbicides.

Castlemaine and Bendigo residents have petitioned their councils to stop spraying glyphosate-based pesticides.

Using steam-based alternatives for weed control can be more expensive.

In February WorkSafe Victoria issued guidelines for employers to minimise employees’ exposure to herbicides such as glyphosate.

“Spraying should also be avoided during very windy conditions to minimise the possibility of exposure to spray drift,” the guidelines stated.

Kingston Council is also considering a ban on the use of Roundup as a weed killer.

Challenging society’s stereotypes in dance A NEW dance work exploring the themes of what it is to be a ‘bloke’ drew crowds at Frankston library last Friday.

Dance artists Matt Cornell and Joshua Thomson have drawn on their conversations with men in the extreme north, and their own experiences growing up in outback Australia, to choreograph a dance routine investigating

the notion of what it is to be a man.

The men will perform outside the library all this week, and plan to tour the country with their show.

They will also continue their quest to capture the changing representation of the Aussie ‘bloke’, by working with the Pines Community Men’s Shed and other community groups.

THE Mornington Peninsula has long been marketed to those seeking a pampering, resort-style holiday experience, and now it seems many want the same for their pets.

It’s no secret that the pet industry is a lucrative industry estimated to be worth about $8 billion worldwide annually, with many owners today taking a “no expenses spared” approach when it comes to the social and emotional wellbeing of their animals.

Cory Andrews, who runs kennels in Baxter and whose family has been involved in the pet industry on the peninsula for 43 years, said the trend for luxury cat and dog boarding, doggy day care and other pampering services for pets is following the American lead, and is a reflection of the increasingly important role pets today play as “family members”.

Ms Andrews, who took over a basic dog boarding facility with her husband Paul ten years ago and transformed it into the luxury-style Dog Country Club and Kennel Resort, has just won the ‘Excellence’ category in the national Pet Industry Association of Australia awards.

“Many people see their pets as very important family members and the pet industry has to respond to that,” she said.

The owners make no bones about the level of luxury pets experience at the resort, with more than ten different styles of accommodation for fussy dogs and their owners to choose from, a selection of menus, chandeliers, TVs, air-conditioners and specialised furniture made for comfort and style.

While about 55 per cent of the resort’s clients come from the Morn-

ington Peninsula, others come from all over Victoria to spoil their pets and ensure their emotional, physical and social needs are met while away from home.

“Whether it’s overnight or day care, it’s really important to owners that their pet is treated like they would be at home and individual needs in terms of diet, sleeping styles, exercise and psychological needs are taken into account,” she said.

After being involved in the pet

industry through my family all my life, it’s interesting to see how things have changed and how pet owners are expecting more,” she said.

Mrs Andrews’s mother runs Australia’s largest cat resort nearby and is facing a similar rise in both demand and expectations.

“There are 200 rooms and if a cat doesn’t like the one they get, they can inspect the others and choose one that suits,” Mrs Andrews said.

Witness appeal after hit-run WITNESSES are being asked to come forward after a man was left seriously injured in a hitrun collision in Pearcedale last month.

The incident occurred when a green Subaru station wagon travelling south on Craig Rd, made a right turn onto Baxter-Tooradin Rd into the path of a motorcycle, 4.30pm, Tuesday 11 October.

The station wagon stopped a short distance away before fleeing without the driver rendering assistance or exchanging details.

The 56-year-old rider, of Pakenham, received broken bones and was taken to hospital in a serious condition.

He underwent surgery, is awaiting more surgery, and is in a wheelchair in a rehabilitation hospital.

The man police want to speak to is Caucasian, in his 50s, 170cm, solid build with a ginger/grey beard, grey/white thin shoulder-length hair and a receding hairline.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au online.

Ending violence against women

KIDS FUN N FARM! FAR RM!

FRANKSTON shoppers have joined a ‘16 Days of Activism’ campaign to end violence against women by weaving colourful stars for the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast at a Bayside Shopping Centre workshop.

The workshop, part of the international One Million Stars to End Violence project, kicked off the 16-day campaign in Frankston on Friday 25 November.

An art exhibition of more than 6000 stars already weaved is on display at the shopping centre throughout the campaign, and there is a range of activist activities throughout Frankston until 10 December.

One Million Stars is an international project bringing communities together to make a peaceful statement to end violence through weaving stars and promoting respectful relationships.

As a Victoria Police leading senior constable, Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial said he knows the impact that domestic violence has on families and the community.

“The 16 Days of Activism campaign is a vital step towards raising awareness about the importance of gender equality and respectful relationships in preventing family violence,” he said.

“Ending violence is the responsibility of every one of us.

Every woven star is a reminder of this responsibility and a sign of our solidarity as a community to support those suffering from violence.”

Other activities happening across Frankston include Gender Equity Storytime at Frankston and Carrum Downs libraries and Frankston Arts Centre will “go orange” to highlight the anti-violence campaign.

For more information about the activities as part of the 16 Days of Activism campaign, see frankston.vic.gov.au/16days or call council on 1300 322 322.

New rules for the bays

Hospital’s 75 years of health services

CHANGES to boating and swimming zones in Port Phillip and Western Port bays are part of an ongoing review to improve public safety on the water.

Parks Victoria is inviting public comment on the proposed changes. “It’s important that boating and swimming zones are a good reflection of the current and future needs of water-based activities in the area, and that they maximise safety on the water,� acting senior manager for local ports and waterways Cathy Jenkins said. “The focus of [the] review is to refine the zones in order to provide a safer environment through better separation of boating and swimming activities in high density bathing areas, and to ensure sport and recreational activities operate legally and safely.

In 2009 Parks Victoria with Maritime Safety Victoria completed a

WITH a cake, candles and a happy birthday buzz, Frankston Hospital last week celebrated 75 years as an integral part of the Mornington Peninsula community.

Since opening on 30 November 1941 the hospital has undergone plenty of necessary changes.

From humble beginnings, the £24,000, 30-bed hospital has grown into a major teaching and research facility and a busy one at that – Frankston Emergency Department has the most ambulance arrivals in Victoria.

It is still on the same site in Hastings St, but is vastly improved, with the opening in February last year of a 92-bed state-of-the-art emergency department and three new wards.

The old emergency department has been transformed into a purpose-built outpatient area. Construction will soon begin on a three-level multi-storey car park, providing 750 extra spaces, and the $15 million Academic and Research Centre, which will be built at the hospital in a union with Monash University.

Peninsula Health CEO Sue Williams says Frankston Hospital is a world-class hospital. “We are delighted to celebrate the 75th birthday of Frankston Hospital, and look forward to another 75 years of providing high-quality healthcare to the Mornington Peninsula,� Ms Williams said.

comprehensive two-year review of all boating and swimming zones across both bays. It involved consultation with beach and boat users and operators, local government, business and life-saving clubs.

Swimming and boating zones are clearly marked with aids to navigation (piles or buoys) installed in the water and advisory signs on the shore.

An overview of proposed adjustments, implementation history, rules and supporting maps is available at: parks.vic.gov.au/boatzonereview Parks Victoria is seeking feedback from those interested. They should complete the survey via the Parks Victoria website, email boatingzonereview@parks.vic.gov.au or write to Boating Zone Review, Parks Victoria, 10/535 Bourke St, Melbourne.

The deadline for feedback is Friday 16 December. See parks.vic.gov.au or call 13 19 63.

Kinder is the key start A new kindergarten marketing strategy to engage vulnerable families in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula and promote the benefits of kindergarten has been launched in Baxter.

The Kindergarten Builds Kids strategy, a joint project between Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston Council, was launched at Baxter Kindergarten and Children’s Centre, which received an excellence rating through the National Assessment and Rating Process.

The excellence rating is the highest applicable rating by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Assessment.

This strategy has been developed as

part of a grant the councils received in 2015 aimed at increasing engagement with vulnerable families and increasing the number of vulnerable children participating in kindergarten.

Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial said the early years are an important stepping stone towards developing lifelong skills . “Frankston Council recognises the importance of kindergarten and we are committed to ensuring every child, especially vulnerable children, have the opportunity to take part in a strong beginning for their lifelong learning journey through attending kindergarten,� he said.

Champion effort from Celia wins title A SPORTING dream has come true for 16-year-old Frankston gymnast Celia Kelsall, who recently took out the under-18s Level 10 Victorian state title in the Women’s Gymnastics Southern Cross Classic.

Celia, who trains at Dolphin Gymnastics in Carrum Downs, has made a name for herself on the gymnastics scene since competing in her first comp 12 years ago.

She was one of four Dolphin gymnasts who won the team’s title at the Level 4 National titles at Geelong in 2010 but can now stand on the podium in her own right.

Last year she won her first individual medal after finishing third on vault

at the Level 9 state championships, narrowly missing overall third place by .02 points. “Not even the value of a pointed toe,� she said.

Head coach Nedal Alyousef, who was Australia’s only Olympic gymnastics judge at Rio, said that only 2 per cent of female gymnasts even make it to Level 10. “To take the coveted state title is a magnificent achievement,� she said.

Traditionally the year 11 student’s strongest discipline has been floor gymnastics but this year was a clean sweep, with firsts in all four disciplines of uneven bars, beam, floor and vault.

High flyer: Frankston gymnast Celia Kelsall won under-18s Victorian state gymnastics title.

Drama over, stroke patient praises hospital care WITH two weeks to go to retirement, Frankston resident Bill Ryan was enjoying a morning cup of tea in bed when he got up to get dressed but knew something wasn’t right.

“I walked into the wardrobe to retrieve some clothing,” he said.

“Initially I couldn’t see what I was looking for and then when I found it, I couldn’t hold onto it.”

Mr Ryan’s wife, who was in the room, quickly called an ambulance.

“The ambos turned up and they asked me to repeat the phrase to them, ‘You can’t teach an old dog new tricks’. It was like when you’ve seen a movie and people ask what the name of it was and sometimes it’s just not there,” he said.

“For the life of me, I could not say that simple phrase.”

Though he didn’t know it at the time, Mr Ryan was having a stroke.

He was quickly taken to Frankston Hospital’s emergency department for a brain CT followed by a CT angiogram.

“I came out from the scan and they were confident it was a clot so they decided to give me the clot breaker,” Mr Ryan said.

Patients can only be given the clot breaker within four-and-a-half hours of having a stroke, according to Peninsula Health stroke nurse coordinator Margaret Stevenson.

“It works to save any viable tissue to prevent brain cell death,” she said. “Every minute we wait getting emergency treatment after a stroke, 1.9 million neurons are lost.

“However, if we can thrombolyse

Back on top of things: Bill Ryan reflects on what might have been if not for emergency medical help.

patients [by administering the clot breaker] then we can potentially limit the damage.”

Mr Ryan was thrombolysed two hours after having the stroke. He steadily improved after that and got feeling back in his right hand which had gone numb. He was well enough to be discharged the next day.

“As far as I know I’ve made a full recovery thanks to prompt identification and actions.”

Now Mr Ryan is back enjoying his retirement again.

He praised the team at Frankston Hospital – from the emergency department to the night-shift nurses.

“The care was first-class. I couldn’t

have wished for better.”

This Christmas, Peninsula Health is raising money for its Frankston and Rosebud hospitals to ensure it is well-equipped and ready to help when residents need urgent medical care.

As Margaret said, every second counts when it comes to treating a stroke and saving your brain.

“We have a great facility here in Frankston and it needs the support of the local people,” Mr Ryan said.

“Get behind the hospital that will get behind you.”

Those wanting to help the hospital can donate online at peninsulahealth. org.au/donate or by calling 9785 1284.

Stay clear of seals BEACHGOERS are reminded to keep their distance from seals resting on beaches in Western Port and Port Phillip bays beaches.

Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning manager program manager Suraya VI said some seals may appear sick or emaciated, but should not be approached under any circumstances.

“While we understand that seeing a seal in poor condition may be upsetting, approaching the seal or trying to move it will cause an already stressed animal further distress,” she said.

“If people sighted seals or seal pups lying on the beach, leave them in peace and enjoy their presence from afar.

“We are really lucky to see marine

mammals such as seals and dolphins so close up in their natural environment, but they are wild animals, and it’s up to us to give them the space they need.”

It is illegal to approach within 30 metres of a seal on land, and dogs are not permitted within 50 metres of a seal on land. At boat ramps or other man-made structures such as piers, people must stay at least five metres away from seals.

Anyone who finds an unwell seal should call the AGL marine response unit on 1300 245 678 or DELWP on 136 186.

Call for action ‘not talk’ over danger intersections Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au FEARS have been raised that another person will be killed before improvements are made to the two increasingly congested intersections linking Mt Martha to Nepean Highway.

A pedestrian was killed at the intersection of Forest Drive and Nepean Highway in 2014, resulting in a 700-signature petition to VicRoads urging the authority to upgrade traffic conditions at the access points of Forest Drive and nearby Uralla Rd. But despite the Mornington Peninsula’s soaring population and increased traffic accessing Mt Martha from the highway, no works have started.

Resident Mike Goethel said he had a “substantial folio” of correspondence with VicRoads going back four years.

“We are sick of talking because nothing is being done and someone else could be killed,” he said.

Mr Goethel attended a meeting between residents, VicRoads and the shire last year, during which VicRoads undertook to begin “suitable safety measures”. But he said the only action so far was to reduce the speed limits from 100kph to 80kph.

He said the effect of the speed reduction was negligible”, with accidents still occurring regularly.

A further consultation meeting in November was “disappointing”, with conceptual road arrangements presented but no timing or funding guaranteed.

VicRoads regional director Aiden

McGann said consultation was essential.

He said almost 300 residents who attended two community workshops at the Dromana Community Hall last month heard about a range of safety measures being considered.

He said the aim of the community sessions was to begin a discussion about how people access and exit Mt Martha and the challenges they faced.

“It is important for us to gather information with the benefit of local knowledge, which is going to help us form solutions to make it safer and improve traffic flow.”

Mr McGann said the next step was to gather the information and “look at the sentiments” towards the approaches offered.

“Alongside our engineering principles, the input from the community

will help us look at what is feasible and what isn't in terms of improvements.”

He said VicRoads would present the recommended solutions “in the first half of next year” before submitting a business case for the government to consider.

Options for the intersections include:  Roundabout

VIKA AND LINDA BULL For 30 years, the glorious voices of Vika and Linda Bull have comprised one of the most distinctive, versatile and emotionally charged sounds on the Australian music landscape.

Since their multi-platinum conquest of pop radio with the Black Sorrows in the late 1980s, the sisters have forged diverse pathways into soul, gospel, blues, country and the island music of their Tongan ancestry.

By turns tender and powerful, their rich solo vocals and instinctive harmonies have spawned eight albums of their own, as well as illuminating studio and concert performances by Paul Kelly, Rockwiz, C.W. Stoneking, Deborah Conway, Kasey Chambers and many more.

Their invitation to join Joe Camilleri’s Black Sorrows ushered in that band’s most successful era: Hold Onto Me, Harley and Rose and Better Times were all triple-platinum albums between ‘88 and ‘92, and the sisters’ prominent vocals captivated massive audiences, here and worldwide.

Vika & Linda, their debut album of 1994, was produced by Paul Kelly and written by some of the most accomplished songwriters of the era, including Paul Kelly, Joe Camilleri, Stephen Cummings, Mark Seymour and Nick Barker.

The next decade found the sisters embracing a range of musical possibilities on a string of albums.

On stage and in the studio, the sisters continue to seek challenges as diverse Tell The Angels, a gospel album recorded live in a Brunswick pub; Meet Me In the Middle of the Air, an innovative mix of jazz and gospel created by Paul Kelly and Paul Grabowsky; The Merri Soul Sessions presented by Paul Kelly and Paul Kelly’s Seven Sonnets & A Song. Additionally Vika has taken the lead in At Last The Etta James Story in which this incredible show saw its world premier in Melbourne in 2013 and since then has toured all the capital cities in Australia, completed two sold out seasons at The Sydney Opera House and in November of 2014 rocked an enthralled Kiwi crowd at the prestigious Aotea Centre in Auckland New Zealand.

Open your ears, and hold onto your heart.

Vika and Linda Bull will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, on Friday 16 December. Tickets at grand.oztix. com.au or www.grand.net.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Pair convicted of drunkenness in Frankston prisoners and told them to take warning by their narrow escape from a more serious charge.

Each man was then fined 5s or 24 hours imprisonment. The fines were paid. *** THE friends of Pte F Murray of Somerville have been notified that he has been wounded (the second time) while in action in France. No particulars are to hand. *** THE object is worthy, the artists are worthy, and a worthy audience is expected at the Scotch Concert in aid of Xmas Bag Fund, for Langwarrin soldiers. *** A PAINTER named Minton met with a painful accident on Wednesday while painting on the roof of the of the Somerville Hotel Billiard room.

Through some mishap he lost his footing and fell to the ground sustaining a compound fracture of the leg below the knee.

Mr Coop conveyed him by cart to Melbourne Hospital where his injuries were attended to. *** GENERAL regret was expressed in Frankston on Wednesday, when word was received from the Defence Department that Sapper F. Burton had been, killed in action in France on November 6th.

He has lived in Frankston since boyhood, and gained the esteem and good will of all who knew him.

Heartfelt sympathy is extended to the widow and children who are left

to mourn their great and sad loss. *** MR A. W. Taylor, of the Frankston Motor Garage, has just been appointed agent for the Peninsula, for the famous “Trumbull” and “Victory” cars.

The former is a very snappy light car, with Australian built, three-seater body while the latter, a full size touring car although practically new to this country, is designed especially to meet the rough condition of most of our roads, and is replete with the very latest equipment. *** WE are pleased to record the fact that two sons of Dr Plowman have gained some distinction in College athletics.

At Duntroon Military College, Mr Frank Plowman has again secured the Mile Walk Championship, and is runner up for the Singles Tennis Championship.

Mr Sidney Plowman, junr., has tied with Mr Fetherstonhaugh for Championship in Gymnastics, at Geelong Grammar School.

Since the above was in print we notice that in the list of Trinity College Scholarships, published on the 7th inst, the name of Sidney Plowman, as having gained a Warden’s scholarship of the value of £25. *** WE are requested to call attention to an alteration in the date of the sixth presentation to Frankston volunteers to Thursday, December 21st.

His Honor Sir John Madden G.C.M.G., L L.D., D C. L. etc, has very kindly consented to make the

presentations and deliver an address, on the occasion.

We also have much pleasure in making an earnest request to friends of recent Frankston volunteers to forward to the hon. Sec., Dr Plowman, the names, and exact camp addresses of such recruits.

The labors of the committee will be much lessened thereby. *** THE return match between Langwarrin Camp Cricket Club and Frankston Cricket Club will the place today (Saturday). The soldiers expect to defeat the seasiders and the band will be in attendance to play the conquering heroes home.

A full attendance of “bots” is requested. *** ATTENTION is drawn to Military notice warning the public against entering the danger zone while rifle practice is being carried on.

It is found that visitors and others take unnecessary risk by walking immediately behind the stop butts and entering the danger zone.

There has been no accident on the Langwarrin since it was laid out over 16 years ago, and the authorities are determined to maintain their good reputation. *** IN consequence of the decline of several rifle clubs in the Mornington Peninsula, and the rise of miniature rifle clubs, the Cheltenham rifle club has made arrangements to allow any resident of the Mornington Peninsula to enter their Club.

The Club meets for practice at the Langwarrin Rifle Range on alternate Saturdays, as per syllabus.

The membership fee is 5s per annum with munition free, and free railway pass to Port Melbourne Competition for trophies is open to all members.

The annual reunion is one of the features of the bayside town.

Full particulars can be obtained from the Secretary, Mr J. H. Merrifield, secretary Rifle Club, Cheltenham. *** BRITAIN’S war bill up to the end od March 1917, will amount to £3,883,000,000 including advances to the Allies. *** AUSTRALIAN workers to the number of 450 are being sent by the Defence Department to work in munition factories in England. *** THE competition for competitive designs for the Federal parliament House in Canberra has been indefinitely postponed. *** GERMAN submarines have sunk another hospital ship, with 400 cases of sickness on board, in Greek waters. *** THE State Ministry is to endeavour to obtain stocks of brown coal from the Morwell fields for use in factories. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 9 December, 1916

Compiled by Cameron McCullough FRANKSTON Court of Petty Sessions. Thursday 7th December, 1916.

Before Messrs S. Sherlock and W. J. Oates. Js. P. DISORDERLY VISITORS. Constable Ryan charged Kenneth Logan and Charles Brodie with having been found drunk and disorderly in a public place to wit Beach Street at Frankston on Wednesday night, 6th December.

Prisoners at first pleaded not guilty and afterwards amended their plea to guilty.

Constable Ryan informed the court that it was alleged that on the evening of 6th December two drunken men who answered to accused’s description, followed two ladies, using offensive language to them and generally misbehaving.

The ladies were obliged to hail a passing vehicle in order to escape from their unwelcome attendants. The ladies endeavoured to communicate with the police by telephone but, as there is no telephone at the local police station, a delay of some hours occurred before witness received word of the offence.

He then went in search of the offenders and at 11pm he arrested the two accused whom he found drunk and disorderly in Beach Street, Frankston.

The ladies did not desire to come forward as witnesses to identify the men, so therefore witness intended to proceed only on the charge of drunkenness.

The bench severely lectured the

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

A post-truth post mortem

By Stuart McCullough SO long evidence. It seems the world has truly fallen out of the love with you. So much so that the term ‘post-truth’ has been crowned ‘word of the year’. I’m not entirely sure what the award ceremony for ‘word of the year’ is like, having pretty much lost interest in it after Beyonce got the gong for ‘Bootylicious’. In an ideal world, I’d like to think that ‘post-truth’ nailed it with a great performance in the swimsuit section. Even if that weren’t so, it wouldn’t matter at all, given that the world in general has now surrendered to the idea that saying something that’s spectacularly untrue is now a legitimate tool of communication.

Facts are not what they used to be. Which, generally speaking, was useful. Instead, facts are old hat. They’re the horse and cart of public discourse.

Worse than that, they get in the way of the point I’m truly trying to make. Which is precisely why they need to be called out as the disease carrying, terrorist-supporting cause of climate change that they are. It’s well accepted that ever since facts starting arriving here in 1834 on board the USS Enterprise that things in general have gone to hell in a handcart. And the sooner we get used to doing without facts clogging our arteries and melting the polar caps, the better off we’ll all be.

Truth be told (and from now on, it probably shouldn’t be) I am at least partly to blame. I wasn’t much for science in school. It never seemed as interesting to me as English and creative writing where making things up was pretty much the done thing. My eyes glazed over in biology. The mere mention of the words ‘Bunsen burner’ would plunge me into a torpor from which it would take me most of the day to recover.

In retrospect, I deeply regret my lack of engagement. Having reacted to matters of science and evidence with a shrug of the shoulders and a nonchalant ‘meh’ means that I’m especially vulnerable in the post-truth world. Because the problem with

Source: www.weeklyworldnews.com

facts and things that aren’t facts is that it’s now very difficult to tell them apart. It’s like they’re twins that have only just starting dressing in identical clothes. I suppose I never thought science would be much use to me. Or, perhaps, I simply assumed that facts would always be there. It never really occurred to me that they’d be under threat.

But, on the bright side, the dawn of the post-truth world has some serious advantages. It means that events from my childhood in which I did not so much embellish the truth as I did brazenly violate

its sanctity can now be reappraised. I would have been grade one when I got into a fight. I don’t remember the details, save that I was held down by a couple of kids while one of my fellow students pretended to be a horse and kicked me. It sounds terrible, but it’s possible that these egregious attacks were precipitated by some kind of action on my part. In short, it’s distinctly possible that I had acted like a twerp.

News of this schoolyard drubbing set the quadrangle ablaze. Some students asked me if I was

all right. Deeply embarrassed, instead of brushing off the events as I should have done, I used my imagination to make the situation sound far more horrifying than it actually was. When the whole debacle came to the attention of my teacher, I falsely claimed that I had been treated in hospital.

It is fair to say that merry hell then broke loose.

Parents were called and the other student hauled in for punishment. It soon emerged that I’d not required medical intervention at all, at which point the weather vane of primary school retribution turned swiftly in my direction. I was in trouble.

In fact, it was enough trouble to last me the rest of my life, as it’s a lesson I’ve never really forgotten.

The consequences of lying can be profound. Or so I thought. If I were to reappraise these events, my claims would no longer be considered a lie but as ‘post-truth’. They might even win me a prize of some kind.

But post-truth is much more than a tool by which to reappraise the past. It’s really about the future. Apparently there is now such a thing as ‘fake news’. That is, news that is only real in a kind of ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter’ kind of way. The proliferation of fraud as the new reality means there can never really be consensus on anything. Ever. Instead, we’re condemned to a state of perpetual antagonism and snarling conflict.

So here we are. The earth is flat. The sky is pink and purple polka dots. The moon landing was filmed in a back lot studio between episodes of ‘I Dream of Jeannie’. Phar Lap was an android built from leftover transistor parts and Flipper was played not by an aquatic mammal but by Charles Laughton in really, really heavy makeup.

And Fidel Castro isn’t dead; he’s just resting his eyes. Granted, I can’t back any of those assertions up with anything remotely resembling evidence.

But, when all’s said and done, I don’t need to. And that’s the (post) truth. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

The facts about foot and leg pain DID you know more than 80% of Australians will experience serious foot and leg problems at some point in their lives?

The most common foot and leg ailments include: Heel pain (most commonly referred to as Plantar Fasciitis); Knee pain, injuries and arthritis; Shin pain; Achilles concerns; Ankle pain or injury; Arch pain and Bunions. All of these can be caused or aggravated by faulty biomechanics and/or bad foot posture continually pulling your body out of alignment.

Most of these concerns, however, can be quite easily addressed if diagnosed correctly and treated appropriately.

Dr. David Kavanagh, musculoskeletal and sports podiatrist at one of Australia’s leading foot & leg pain and injury practices says, “At our Foot & Leg Pain Clinics we see so

many people who have been incorrectly diagnosed & have been provided unsuitable or inappropriate treatment. Many others are being told that nothing can be done for them or that surgery and medication are their only options, which is so often not the case. With correct diagnosis, the utilization of the latest medically researched treatments and appropriate application, we’re able to treat most foot and leg pain quite easily, even cases that have been untreatable in the past, which is really exciting.”

So don’t just put up with foot and leg pain, injury or arthritis.

Foot & Leg Pain Clinics are located right across Melbourne including Mt. Eliza, Rosebud, Berwick and Moorabbin . For appointments call 1300 328 300.

Mounties shoot to the top PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MT ELIZA has shot to the top of the MPCA Provincial ladder after recording its second outright victory for the season against Pines on Saturday.

While the Mounties have moved to the top of the table, the top four have now given themselves a buffer of 24 points.

Langwarrin, in fourth place, recording a convincing win against Moorooduc with leaders Jake Prosser and Travis Campbell starring with the bat.

Baxter star Chris Brittain was at his sensational best with an amazing 155 to help his side record a 50 plus run win against Mornington.

Peninsula Old Boys are in second place on the ladder after hanging on in a thriller against Pearcedale.

In other results, Sorrento knocked over Long Island by six wickets and

Somerville proved too strong for Crib Point, who are experiencing a rough trot.

Chris Brittain was without question the story of round five in the match between Baxter and Mornington.

Arguably the best all-rounder in our game right now, Brittain blasted 18 fours and six sixes to help his side thrash Mornington.

The Doggies opened well, picking up openers Joe Rule and skipper Daniel Warwick to have the home side on the back foot at 2/38.

However Brittain, along with Justin Bridgeman who scored 66, quickly took the game away from the visitors.

By the time Bridgeman was out, Baxter was already five runs ahead and the 12 points were in the bank.

Pearcedale went within 40 runs of chasing down Peninsula Old Boys 266 on Saturday.

At various stages throughout the con-

test, it appeared that the Panthers were going to cause an upset, however, the Old Boys claimed important scalps at important times to grab yet another victory.

Brad Trotter got the Panthers away to a solid start with 54 and formed a solid partnership with Chris Dew, who top scored with 70.

Max Blackburn (24) and Shayne Gillings (34) did all the hard work in the middle, making the most of the foundation that had been laid for them.

Their wickets were the difference between winning and losing the match, eventually dismissed for 237.

Skipper Kaine Smith, as he so often does, gave the visitors some hope late in the innings with 22, however when he went, it was all over from there.

The Olds Boys are a very professional outfit who are at the opposition relentlessly all day. It was this attitude that saw them win the match and main-

tain their strong position at the top of the ladder.

Langwarrin was in a strong position overnight against Moorooduc at 1/65 chasing 155 for victory and were never in an kind of trouble when play begun on day two.

Simon McEvoy (39) and Joel Bateman (40) got the Kangas away to a solid start and then Aaron Edwards (29), Jake Prosser (59) and Travis Campbell (68) dominated.

Prosser, who has been extremely patient this season, belted four fours and five sixes in his innings, while Campbell smashed 15 fours in his innings.

Langwarrin declared at 5/263 before sending the Ducs back out into the middle.

The Ducs were never in any trouble, finishing the day on 4/134 as the Kangas used eight bowlers, including McEvoy, who went for 10 off one over.

Mt Eliza was just 39 runs from vic-

tory when it resumed play at 2/50 on day two against Pines. The Mounties finished at 8/163 before sending the Piners back into bat.

After scoring just 88 in the first innings, Pines fared worse in its second dig, bowled out for just 79. The Mounties needed just eight runs to pick up the outright victory.

Justin Grant picked up an amazing 5/5 from eight overs in the second innings, giving him match figures of 8/18 off 26.5 overs, including 17 maidens.

Crib Point got its season back on track with a great victory against Somerville.

Chasing 233 for victory, the Magpies got the win with three wickets and plenty of overs to spare.

The top order set up the win with Henry Dolphin scoring 42, Matt Blake 69 and Luke Herrington 58, while Ricky Thompson once again chimed in when it was required with 21.

their own way against Seaford Tigers but still managed to record a 42-run win.

In other results in perfect conditions on Saturday, Baden Powell went within four wickets of recording an outright win against Boneo, Rosebud hung on to win a tight one against Heatherhill by 32 runs and Delacombe Park recorded a comprehensive win against Seaford.

Rye was unable to avoid yet another outright loss against Flinders.

Flinders batted first and declared with eight overs left on the first day at 9/226.

Rye faced the final eight overs of the day and lost Beau Suffern and resumed on day two at 1/11.

They were bowled out for 77 before being sent straight back in.

Max Royal with 4/14 was the best of the bowlers in the first innings while Tom Clements snared 3/11 from eight overs. Clements picked up 4/23 in the second innings for Flinders, however Rye avoided outright defeat, finishing on 8/116.

Boneo resumed at 1/59 against Baden Powell, who scored 9/242.

Things weren’t as positive on the second day though for the Pandas, bowled out for 170.

Baden Powell then fired off a quick 2/125 before sending the Pandas back in to bat. The home side finished at 6/106.

Rosebud set Heatherhill 218 for

victory in their match at Olympic Park and for the visitors, it was a score they couldn’t chase down.

Although Kristian Miller scored 48 and Christian Heath 28 at the top of the innings, things couldn’t get going in the middle order.

Matty Meagher led a slight revival with 30 but the Hills were eventually rolled for 185.

Jason Nagel was at his vintage best for the Buds with 5/65 from 28 overs while Billy Quigley chimed in with 4/51 from 24 overs.

Seaford resumed on day two at 1/23 against Delacombe Park. They were rolled for 125.

Dean Blight was the pick of the bowlers with 4/38, while Rob Fisher,

Andrew Stapleton and Ricky Ramsdale all picked up two wickets each.

Seaford Tigers had their work cutout to hunt down the 280 required for victory against Mt Martha.

The Tigers did well though, scoring 6/237 before the match was declared a draw.

Ash Mills scored 82 and David James hit 62, while Aaron Mountey hit 47.

Kyle Bendle was outstanding with the ball for the Reds with 5/44 from 17.3 overs.

Red Hill easily accounted for Main Ridge.

Resuming at 1/64, chasing 103, the Hillmen declared at 7/195. Main Ridge was 6/137 at the end of play.

Tight at the top of District DISTRICT

By IT Gully A LOG-JAM continues at the top of the ladder in MPCA District cricket after the conclusion of round five on Saturday.

There are nine teams all within a game of the top four with Red Hill, Flinders and Mt Martha all providing themselves with a little buffer after recording wins on Saturday.

Both Red Hill and Flinders failed in their attempt to record outright wins over Main Ridge and Rye respectively on Saturday after being in strong positions to do so, however, still recorded strong victories.

Mt Martha didn’t have things all

Blues on their own SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully HASTINGS sits alone at the top of the MPCA Sub District ladder after smashing Carrum Downs on Saturday.

The Blues took 20 wickets for just 164 runs against the Cougars, giving them a 14 point break at the top of the ladder.

It was one of Carrum Downs’ worst results in recent times while Hastings appears to be flexing its muscles after a couple of years in lean times.

In other round five results, Dromana won a nail biter against Tootgarook,

Carrum was too strong for Balnarring, Ballam Park upset Frankston YCW and Skye recorded a rare win against the up and down Tyabb.

The match of the round was no doubt between Dromana and Tootgarook.

The Frogs set the visitors 187 for victory after being bowled out in week one in the 78th over for 186.

After a wobbly beginning and a middle order collapse, Dromana’s Zac Clan and Craig Dunlop put on a 38-run partnership for the ninth wicket to get their team across the line.

The Hoppers looked to be in some strife at 6/90, however, Jedd Savage

(61) was able to offer some resistance.

It was then left to Clan and Dunlop to knuckle down and get the runs required to grab the all-important 12 points.

AJ King was the front line bowler for Tootgarook with 4/37 from 28 overs, including 14 maidens. Matty Whelan jagged 2/59 from 17 overs.

The scoreboard will show that Ballam Park recorded a solid 25 run win against Frankston YCW, however, the scoreboard isn’t always the best indicator.

The Knights had just two batsmen score double figures on Saturday, Stuart Plunkett scoring 54 and Jay Yates, bat-

ting at nine, hitting 46. It was enough to record a win.

At one stage the Knights were in a world of pain at 5/33, then lost 2/1 to be 7/62.

The Stonecats, who batted again and were 0/90 at the end of play, shared the wickets.

Lai Leaunoa was the pick of them with 3/48 from 29 overs, the evergreen Andy Kitson snared 3/45 from 25 overs and Jack Butland helped himself to 3/32 from 13 overs.

Hastings added just a further 40 runs to its overnight score and lost six wickets, however, it was enough for an out-

right win over Carrum Downs.

The Blues responded with 197 in reply to the Cougars first innings total of 62.

Hastings then bowled the visitors out a second time for 102.

Isuru Dias was outstanding for the Blues in the second innings, claiming 6/27 from 11 overs.

Balnarring was bowled out for 189, chasing Carrum’s 256 and Skye bounced back from being 1/15 overnight to score 7/198 to get the win after Tyabb scored 156.

Andrew Craddock was superb for the winners with 70.

Imports galore as Langy goes all out for title SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN’S assault on the 2017 State 1 South-East championship will be powered by a raft of visa players.

The Lawton Park outfit will throw down the gauntlet to local clubs Mornington and Casey Comets and cashed up Greek-backed opponents Malvern City, Clifton Hill, South Springvale and Caulfield United Cobras by backing the quality of its imports to take the league by storm.

Central defender and former Macclesfield Town youth team captain Kieron Kenny has agreed terms with Langy and should arrive within a fortnight.

Kenny, 23, is currently on the books of Congleton Town in the Hallmark Security League, which is the former North West Counties League in England.

Kenny is a friend of Langy defender Andy McIntyre and looms as an ideal replacement for 2016 Langwarrin captain Alex van Heerwarden who quit the club recently and joined nearby rival Casey Comets in a move that caused ructions at Lawton Park.

“I want players that want to play for Langy and any players that leave the club I’m confident that we can replace them with better players,” said Langwarrin senior coach Gus Macleod.

The canny Glaswegian will be at the helm for a record 19th straight season having joined Langy near the end of last century, a remarkable feat in a sport renowned for brief coaching tenures.

Classy capture: Alex Metcalfe

Connor’s coming: Connor Belger

Top target: Kieron Kenny

There was a buzz about the club on Thursday when pre-season training started and Macleod is looking forward to seeing his new signings in Langy colours.

Kenny has played in the Swedish Second Division with Gaellivare Malmberget and figured prominently in a 2-2 draw with AFC Liverpool in September.

The significance of that league clash is that two more Langy imports featured for AFC Liverpool, 23-year-olds Connor Belger and Paul Speed and they are due to arrive in Australia with their partners in midJanuary.

Belger and Speed are former teammates at Formby and have been recommended by ex-Langy marquee player and former England youth international Kevin Townson.

Belger is a midfielder while Speed can play in midfield or up front.

Towering central midfielder Mat Luak, 25, is another Langy capture

and was prominent in Thursday’s training game.

The 194cm Sudanese powerhouse from Morwell Pegasus has silky skills and is a former Altona Magic star who also has played college football in the US. Macleod has been in charge of the Scotland team in this year’s All Nations’ Cup, an annual tournament held at Egan Lee Reserve in Knoxfield, and he’s snapped up two more visa players in Scotsman Aaran Currie and Englishman Alex Metcalfe.

Currie is a teenage winger who has been involved with Hearts, Hibs, Livingston, Hutchison Vale and Preston Athletic and joined Moreland City in Victoria’s NPL 2 for the back half of last season while 22-year-old Metcalfe is a left-sided player who has had stints with Hull City, Scarborough Athletic, Harrowgate Town and Ossett Albion.

Former Brighton and Hove Albion and Pagham defender or midfielder

Alfie Bunker, who has been playing with Doncaster Rovers in Melbourne, quicksilver forward Nasser Mohammad from Casey Comets and teenage Kenyan midfielder Sulieman Ahmad Mahfudh from Hampton Park United also are on Langy’s radar.

“We’ve been stable for the last few years so now’s the time to give the supporters and the whole club something to cheer about,” said Macleod.

“I’ve won championships with every club I’ve been with so I know what it takes.

“It’s about getting the balance right and just remember we’ve got a lot of younger players who now have first team experience, guys like Solly, Brandon, Kurt, CK and Dylan.

“We’re going to give this title a good shot. Last season we competed with the top six but bringing in more quality players means it’s time we started beating these types of teams.

in my 20th year here with the club in the NPL.” Entrance to Victoria’s elite National Premier League setup is the carrot being dangled in the faces of State 1 clubs in 2017 and this has sparked a signing frenzy.

However, one player unlikely to return to Lawton Park is Warragul United captain Thomas Ahmadzai.

One of the gun central midfielders in the competition, Ahmadzai has been courted by both Langy and Mornington among others but is likely to remain with Warragul.

If Macleod can retain Robbie Acs, James Foster, McIntyre, Nick Thorogood, Boris Ovcin, Johnny Guthrie, Grant Lane, Sam Scott, Caleb Nicholes and Nabil Mozaffaruddin he may have assembled the strongest squad in the club’s history.

Koray Suat and Chris Driver have retired while Anthony Selemidis is believed to be pursuing business interests.

Langy’s war chest has benefitted from increased sponsorship from former player Greg Kilner, the principal of Premier Builders’ Group, and another former player in Craig Hosie, managing director of civil construction company LOJAC, who recently joined Premier as a main sponsor.

Macleod’s support staff again includes assistants Neil Collyer and Robert Mathieson with Robert Mathieson senior as team manager.

Tanya Wallace has stepped down after two successful years as club president, a role once more in the capable hands of John Heskins.
