COVID-19 testing ‘never been more important’ Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au PENINSULA Health has now administered more than a quarter of a million coronavirus tests. The 250,000th swab was taken at the Frankston Hospital testing site on 2 September. The job of frontline testing staff has never been more vital, as Victoria battles the Delta variant of COVID-19. COVID-19 screening clinics
operations director Jodi Foley has praised the community for coming forward to get tested across Peninsula Health’s permanent and pop-up locations in the last 18 months. “We are so proud of the efforts from everyone in Frankston and right across the peninsula, who simply continue to come forward for a test,” she said. “Our capacity has significantly increased since we started this work just over a year and a half ago, with the scaling up of our equipment and workforce now able to take up
to 2,000 coronavirus tests a day. Thanks to our partnerships with Dorevitch private pathology labs we are regularly able to turn around these swab test results in less than 24 hours.” With the latest COVID-19 outbreak still growing, Peninsula Health says it is vital to continue to be vigilant and get tested when symptoms arise. The organisation’s executive director of operations, Helen Cooper, said “we know COVID-19 is moving throughout
metropolitan Melbourne and parts of regional Victoria through community transmission – but we only know of these locally acquired infections through ongoing testing.” “Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula has enjoyed some of the highest testing rates in the state, and it’s all thanks to the magnificent work of Jodi and the team to provide our community with the ability to get a test locally and quickly,” she said. “As we emerge from winter and the grass pollen season less than
a month away, it’s never been more important to get a test, no matter how mild your symptoms may be. Be aware of the most common coronavirus symptoms, including fever, chills or sweats, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose or loss of sense of smell.” To see a list of testing sites check peninsulahealth.org.au/covid19screeningclinics View up to date exposure sites at coronavirus.vic.gov.au/exposuresites

Backyard net laws protect wildlife LAWS to protect wildlife from getting caught up in backyard fruit tree netting came into effect on 1 September. The new regulations are “well overdue and would save native animals’ lives”, Wildlife Victoria CEO Lisa Palma said. The new regulations require the mesh size of tree netting, either used or sold, to be 5mm by 5mm or less at full stretch. They apply specifically to households – not commercial growers who are already compliant. The penalty for using fruit netting that does not fit the specification will be $3303 or $660 for advertising or offering it for sale for household fruiting plants. A quick check is to make sure holes in a net are too small to poke your finger through. This sized net is safe for flying foxes and other small animals. “We are pleased to see the new laws come into effect given that there is a significant detrimental impact on our wildlife as a result of the wider aperture netting that a lot of people use on their backyard fruit trees,” Ms Palma said. Animalia’s Michelle Thomas said caring for wildlife – especially flying foxes – injured when caught in nets was a “huge pull on our resources”. “The ban is something we have all been fighting for,” she said. Animalia rescuers are often called out to rescue flying foxes caught in nets in the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston areas. “We have 20 rescuers who are on call and it is better if residents call us before attempting to release badly entangled flying foxes,” Ms Thomas
said. “We never release them straight away because it can take weeks for flying fox wings to heal after suffering tears caused by the nets. “Sadly, they very often have to be euthanised.” That means two animals are lost as their young, alone in the bat colony, are left to starve. Ms Thomas said the bats were key pollinators of eucalypts needed for Australia’s timber industry. “They just want to feed on gum nectar which is very nutritious and when we remove large gums that’s when we create problems,” she said. “The flying foxes resort to eating fruit from peach, plum or pear trees.” Ms Thomas said it was disheartening when domestic growers wrapped nets around their trees yet left fruit rotting on the ground. “I tell them to put paper bags around the clumps of fruit they want and let the bats have the rest,” she said. “Then it’s a win/ win.” She said fruit protected that way was safe from pests, such as caterpillars, as well as rain damage. Ms Thomas said the logging industry also required the natural services of flying foxes which pollinated eucalypt forests devastated by the 2019-20 bushfires. “The flying foxes roam up and down the east coast pollinating the blue gums and iron barks helping them recover from the fires,” she said. “If we want a timber industry we have to look after them.” Ms Thomas warned domestic fruit growers to avoid cheap imported nets
that did not comply with the spirit or intent of the law, and which would put them at risk of a fine. During 2020, Wildlife Victoria responded to 285 cases of wildlife caught in domestic fruit tree netting. These comprised 120 grey-headed flying-fox cases, 35 magpie cases, 19 rainbow lorikeet cases, 16 sulphur crested cockatoo cases and eight ringtail possum cases. “We believe our case numbers are just the tip of the iceberg, ” CEO Ms Palma said. Peninsula residents can call Animalia for help, or to donate, on 0435 822 699. Stephen Taylor

Council investigates moving net zero target Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council will undertake a feasibility study to look into how it could move forward its net zero emissions target. At their August meeting, Frankston councillors agreed to investigate ways to move their net zero target from the 2024/2025 financial year to 2023/2024. Cr Claire Harvey proposed the move. She told the meeting that “councillors are being called upon by residents to lead by example in our action on climate change at the level of local government.” “While it’s my personal opinion that we are probably a couple of decades late, and acknowledging the wisdom of going hard and going early to borrow from a now widely understood COVID catchphrase, we do have a choice now to step up as ambitious leaders in our local community and provide a clear message to the state and federal governments.” All councillors approved the move
with the exception of Crs Steven and Liam Hughes. Cr Liam Hughes said “to say this notice of motion will have an impact on the fight to stop climate change is a complete over-exaggeration.” “I love the environment. I know what you’re thinking - Liam is saying ‘we should quit, we should quit this target and just give up’ - and you’re right! We should quit, but we should quit believing we can stop climate change. We can not,” he said. “What we should focus on is the future. We need to be proactive, let’s spend the money we would on the notice of motion on services that keep Frankston going when severe weather events happen.” Cr Steven Hughes raised concerns about the cost of the move to the budget. “Council is nowhere near achieving zero emissions, this will mean we will have to use carbon offsets as an option. This means that the resident’s rates will be increased to foot this bill. If the costs exceed the rate cap then services will potentially have to be cut to support carbon offsets.”

Hospital exposure site THE emergency department at Frankston Hospital has been named a tier one COVID-19 exposure site. A person who presented to the hospital on 3 September subsequently tested positive to COVID-19. Anyone else who was also in the acute area of the department on that day between 12pm and 10.30pm must get tested and isolate for 14 days. A statement from Peninsula Health read “all patients and visitors who were in the Emergency Department during this time are being contacted with this advice. This only applies to the Acute Area of the Emergency Department and excludes the Waiting Room, Fast Track/ Paeds, Extended Care Unit (ECU) and Emergency Short Stay Unit (ESSU).” “The Frankston Emergency Department remains open and is safe for you to visit if you need medical care. We’d like to reassure our community that we have stringent infection prevention and control and COVID-safe measures in place to protect the wellbeing of our patients, visitors and staff.”

Councillor suspension begins FRANKSTON councillor Steven Hughes’ suspension is officially underway. Cr Hughes will spend a month out of action after an arbiter decided that his social media posts about council were an act of misconduct. (“Rebel councillor suspended over Facebook posts” The Times 31/8/21). Despite the ruling handed down, Cr Hughes was not directed to make an apology. The final judgement handed down by the arbiter was made public last week. It read that Cr Hughes should not be made to make an apology because the act would be “forced and insincere”. “The respondent has been found to have engaged in four instances of misconduct by breaching the code in four respects. He has failed to accept those findings. He consequently has shown no remorse or insight into his misconduct. It is hoped that a period of one month’s suspension (being the statutory maximum) may help him to comprehend that if he continues to engage in the conduct that led to the findings of misconduct he may be subject to further applications under the act,” the arbiter wrote.
FREE swimming lessons will be offered to young kids later this month to help prevent drowning deaths. In 2020, 12 kids under five-years-old died from drowning in Australia. In a bid to help push that number to zero, local pools are offering free swimming lessons as part of Learn2Swim Week. In Frankston, free lessons will be offered at Core24 Swim School and Save Your Life Survival to children under the age of five. The free lessons run from 25 September to 3 October. If COVID-19 restrictions stop swimming lessons, free vouchers will be handed out. Poolwerx Mount Eliza is also taking part in the initiative. Franchise partners Greg and Kim Weir are encouraging parents to take up the offer. “Swimming is a way of life for most Australians, but sadly we’re still seeing backyard drownings. That is why it is crucial to introduce kids to water safety as early as possible,” they said. To find participating swim schools and sign up visit www.learn2swimweek.com.
Counting race “CITIZEN scientists” in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula can join in Biodiversity Blitz 2021. The challenge, between councils including Casey, Kingston, Mornington Peninsula, and Frankston, aims to list the most species of flora and fauna over September. Citizen scientists can download the iNaturalist app on their smart phones, join the peninsula’s Biodiversity Blitz project group, then head outdoors this month to snap photos of flora and fauna and upload them to the app. “We are running a competition between nine councils on who can record the most species,” Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Despi O’Connor said. “By taking part you’ll be contributing to community science and showing the world the amazing creatures and plants your local area has to offer.

At the height of the COVID-19 crisis last year, the state government introduced emergency measures to protect renters, including bans on evictions where renters were unable to pay their rent because of the pandemic. These measures proved crucial not only in ensuring renters could keep a roof over their heads but in reducing the spread of the virus by limiting the movement of people. However, the protections ended in late March leaving many renters, unable to return to work due to rolling lockdowns and at risk of homelessness. “The protections may have gone away, but the virus has not,” Peninsula Community Legal Centre CEO Jackie Galloway said. “This leaves families in our area vulnerable to eviction where rent has gone unpaid due to a drop in income. It also comes at a time when rental providers are increasing rents, especially on the peninsula, as people flee the city in the wake of COVID-19.” The legal centre runs a tenancy assistance and advocacy program where staff are seeing an increase in
rent-related debts. “In the past it was unusual to see rent arrears accrue beyond a couple of thousand dollars,” Ms Galloway said. “Now we are increasingly seeing renters with arrears of over $10,000. Many people have limited means to pay their rent and nowhere to go as rents are rising and housing is being snapped up by the seachangers.” The legal centre has operated throughout the pandemic and says it has helped many renters negotiate reductions with their landlords. However, with the crisis still unfolding, renters needed ongoing protection. “With every lockdown comes the very real fear of how to pay your rent,” Ms Galloway said. “There is no longer a mechanism to get rents reduced, and the rental relief grant is no longer available. “With VCAT now saying that renters can be evicted for rent arrears accrued during last year’s lockdowns, renters are at a heightened risk of homelessness with little means to repay their debt.” Ms Galloway says renters cannot be evicted without an order from the tribunal. “If anyone receives a Notice to Vacate for rent arrears or any other reason they are urged to contact us for advice,” she said. Contact the centre on 9783 3600.

AMERICAN MADE

All-American movie star Tom Cruise teams up once again with Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow) for this actionadventure biopic. Sprinkled with a dose of comedy, the script is loosely based on the true story of Barry Seal (Cruise), a commercial airline pilot who became involved in drugs and arms smuggling while working for the CIA. Seal carried out one of the largest covert operations in US history, in the process spawning the Medellin Cartel and almost bringing down the Reagan White House. Despite its historical inaccuracies, the film is a slick ride. It co-stars Domhnall Gleeson.

Age no barrier to this koala GETTING on in years, but still active, this male koala was recently released at Frankston Nature Conservation Reserve where he will “live out his time” in his favourite gum tree. Animalia Animal Rescue’s Michelle Thomas said the “old boy” was brought in for a check-up after being found on the ground by a walker concerned that he was staying in the one place and not moving around as much as he should be. “There was nothing wrong with him, though”, Ms Thomas said. “He was happy and healthy. “Koalas are in every reserve and they are always on the move.” The 98-hectare reserve in Frankston South is regarded as a significant area of native vegetation and wildlife habitat. It has extensive flora and fauna species and more than 100 indigenous mammal, bird, reptile, frog and fish species. Details: parkweb.vic.gov.au or call 13 19 63
FROM a clothes basket to a treetop home, this koala can only look back and wonder at the (good) turn his life took when he was checked out and then released by Animalia Animal Rescue’s Michelle Thomas. Pictures: Gary Sissons

Shire leaders concerned by ‘groundless allegations’ We are writing to express concern about the story Shire knocks back spare land use (The News 23/8/21). The story contains false information about a vote on a motion put forward by Cr David Gill and makes groundless allegations damaging to the reputation of [Mornington Peninsula Shire] Council. Reporter Keith Platt’s claim that none of the six councillors who voted against the motion supported or even mentioned an alternative motion is simply wrong. What is worse, Mr Platt uses this falsehood to insinuate we hadn’t even read the alternative motion. If Mr Platt had watched the council meeting, or the recording of it available on the shire website, he would have clearly seen me (Cr Race) asking Cr Gill if he would accept the alternative motion. Cr Gill refused to accept the alternative motion and so there was no debate. Mr Platt made no effort to contact any of the six councillors to find out whether they did in fact support or had read the alternative motion. The story is supposedly a news item, yet it falls far short of being an unbiased report of the facts. Instead, it contains personal opinion and editorial comment, which have no place in a news story. This failure to accurately report on local events and the use of news items to convey a reporter’s personal prejudices is not in the best interests of our community. Our community deserves better. Mayor Cr Despi O’Connor and Deputy Mayor Cr Sarah Race, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council Editor: The article stated that is was “unknown” if councillors had read the alternative, but it “seems” none of them had liked it. Contrary to what the two council leaders believe (or have been advised) journalists are allowed to express opinions and articles can include comment. The author’s name appears on the article to identify who is making the assessments.
Farcical from start This has become quite apparent to the many casual observers of local government matters on the Mornington Peninsula (“‘Toxic culture’ splits council” The News 31/8/21). Since the current council was elected in October 2020, it has effectively achieved next to nothing in terms of creating meaningful policy that will have a positive impact upon the lives of ratepayers and the broader community. As we all can vividly recall, the very first meeting of this council ended in farce with the introduction of the urgent business item to remove the prayer as a standard agenda item from future council meetings; a matter that dragged on for the next nine months. Further, based upon what has subsequently been reported, there is still no agreement among councillors on the core rules that are intended to govern their conduct at council meetings specifically and when representing the shire generally. If they can’t achieve this basic outcome, what hope do we have of them achieving anything meaningful for the balance of their term of office? Of course, all of this plays right into the hands of the shire’s CEO, as he can quite legitimately take full advantage of the wider powers that the Local Government Act 2020 has extended to the holders of his position. Internally, he must chuckle to himself when he listens to all the meaningless dross that our elected representatives continue to churn out. We can only hope that the continued incompetence of the current council makes its way to the desk of the Minister for Local Government or the Local Government Inspectorate and that they look closely at the cessation of this council’s tenure. Stuart Allen, Dromana
‘Toxic’ a tonic I have to say the “toxic culture” is a good thing and certainly refreshing versus the “collegiate culture” of the past (“‘Toxic culture’ splits council” The News 31/8/21).

We might be on the verge of democracy rather than a council of sycophants to the CEO and officers. It might even mean that the CEO might actually lose his “subjective mood” control over what items are on the council agenda and what is not, blocking anything he does not want on the agenda regardless of what the councillors want. Giving this power to the CEO is like giving the power of corporate mafia to sue governments anytime government “interferes” in their making a profit. I have to say that Cr. Steve Holland has hit some spikes on the head with a 20kg sledgehammer. But then he seems to display the common Liberal position on debate - block and delete anything that you do not agree with. And Cr Anthony Marsh and his indictment of the catering budget is valid; maybe the budget for the private bar in chambers could be looked into also (“Trimming the budget” 31/8/21). However, what is long past due, is some strategic planning including the public on what the shire should be spending its money on in the first place. Thank deity for rate capping. I can remember all the poor boy boo hooing several years ago about the negative effects. But what it means is the councillors must think about what they spend it on. A good look at salaries and bonuses for the executives would be a good start, with a negative incentive for all the consultants being hired to do the job they are being paid to do in the first place. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
Parking eyesores Returning home to the Mornington Peninsula after six months away my husband and I were horrified to see the new solar parking structures dotted around the Rye area. Unable to travel further than five kilometres from home, we are not sure if these also exist elsewhere on the peninsula. To put it bluntly, they are ugly and stand out like the proverbial sore thumb. They teeter on the edge of land along Point Nepean Road and there are even two standing in Ozone Street near the intersection with Point Nepean Road. Surely these are not going to be permanent structures? Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has made many recent improvements in Rye - hopefully we can do better monitoring parking spaces in the area. Karen Gelley, Rye
Futurist Fraser I could not help but think that former councillor Hugh Fraser must be a clairvoyant or a mind reader, whereby he could “read the writing on the wall” that the current council was going to become a dysfunctional rabble that has no ability to achieve anything meaningful for the benefit of our community (“‘Toxic culture’ splits council” The News 31/8/21). I do not think the current situation does not paint the CEO in a very good light, in that he can’t seem to keep the current crop of councillors focused on the primary task of acting in the best interests of the Mornington Peninsula community. Once again, I recall Mr Fraser citing “unreconcilable points of differences with the CEO”, when he resigned from council in March 2021. So, Hugh, can you give us any tips on how we can get rid of the current 12 elected officials (and maybe the CEO as well?), in preference to having to wait another three years? Ian Bennett, Fingal
Community ‘misled’ I believe the Mornington Peninsula community has been scandalously misled by a council that would not adopt as part of its [Governance Rules] a clause which provides that the chief executive officer may reject a councillor’s notice of motion that relates to the day-to-day management of the shire by the CEO. No such clause was put out by council when it sought public comment on its proposed procedural rules – as it was required by law and its own policies to do so. It is an important clause which, if it stands, will further shift control of what council may consider and debate into the ambit of the CEO and further cut down the powers of council to extract accountability from the CEO and management for their actions and inaction. Yet in a “surprise” late amendment on 24 August, council in a majority vote by the mayor Cr Despi O’Connor and Crs Paul Mercurio, Sarah Race, Kerri McCafferty, Anthony Marsh and Lisa Dixon – resolved to adopt just such a clause as part of its procedural rules (“No easy pass for council rules” The News 31/8/21]. Council’s discretion to do so has miscarried and this resolution ought to be set aside. Hugh Fraser, Rye
Times have changed Regarding the Ross Trust’s proposed new mine on Arthurs Seat, I was interested to read that the last will of R E Ross asks trust’s trustees have,
Picture: Yanni
“regard for the circumstances prevailing from time to time”. In the face of today’s prevailing circumstances, including the twin and undeniably intertwined crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, will the Ross Trust finally reconsider its mining investment strategy? Is a new mine that could see crucially important ancient tall trees fall and a wildlife biolink severed so that the side of Arthurs Seat can be blasted until near 2100, all less than one kilometre from a thriving primary school, really the right investment strategy for a philanthropic organisation focused on education and sustainability? Equally, if the new mine proposal is somehow approved, does the Ross Trust truly believe that its brand won’t be forever damaged by the images of fallen tall trees or bewildered wildlife that will inevitably come if works proceed? Now, in the face of twin climate and biodiversity emergencies, the time has come for our philanthropic leaders to lead for a better shared future. The circumstances prevailing today demand nothing less. Rebekah Cassidy, Red Hill
Careful what you keep Between lockdowns my partner and I took a road trip to Willunga, South Australia to sample Russel’s Pizza, widely renowned as the best in Australia. They were great, but still on a par with our local favourite 10-on-Main. It would seem that 10-on-Main has not been able to withstand the successive lockdowns. As the Big Yellow Taxi song says: You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. In a similar vein, there is a public opinion piece on the go that covers the rezoning of buildings on the Rosebud foreshore, and at the beach end of Mornington. It allows for four-storey developments between the towns and the sea. If you need an example, go to see the South East Water building in Frankston, which cuts off that city from the beach. The rezoning appears to have been decided on already, and the public opinion is out there just for political gloss. Next to gravity, there is no greater force than human greed. John Dusting, Mornington
Emergency not valid The ABS reports on its website in a document called Provisional Mortality Statistics the following: “There was an average of 387.5 deaths per day between January and May 2021, compared to 382.2 at the same point in 2020 and a baseline average (for the last five years) of 364.0.” These statistics do not constitute grounds for the Victorian government’s declaration of a State of Emergency or State of Disaster. There is however a real emergency facing Victoria in terms of the economy, basic human rights, the quality of life of the Victorian community, and the emergence of a more authoritarian state government. Issues with commercial in confidence on government projects, delays and redactions on FoI requests, the Victorian premier covertly signing a BRI agreement with China, and pending changes (subject to royal decree) making it more difficult to register a political party, make me wonder if the government is serving itself or the community. Graeme Hector Willis, Mount Eliza
Animal rules I read about speciesism with interest (“Human rules” Letters 31/8/21). At first glance it sounds like an objective to be pursued, however I’m sad to say it is doomed to fail. None of the animals I have spoken to are really interested. I have had several long talks with our pussy cat and she refuses to accept that we humans are her equal. We have known for some time that she is the head of the household, so I thought maybe the idea of speciesism would bring her to see reason. Sadly no. Probably the most shocking aspect of her outlook is that she seems to be some sort of socialist. She is very happy to receive her food and water, and have a nice place to sleep, but not willing to lift a finger (paw?) to assist. Sleeping much of the day is her idea of a life fulfilled. Oh dear, back to challenging the other socialists and peddlers of silly ideas. Jack Wheeler, Mornington
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
State Premier visits Frankston for first time Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE State Premier, Hon. H. S. W. Lawson, visited Frankston last Saturday. Prior to speaking in the Mechanics’ Hall at night, he was entertained at dinner by the Frankston branch of the National Federation. The function took place at the Pier Tea House, when about 40 ladies and gentlemen sat down to table. Mr H. Gamble, president of the local branch of the Federation, presided. After Dr Maxwell had given the toast of The King, Mr Gamble proposed the State Government. He referred to the fact that on no previous occasion had Frankston been honored with a visit by a Premier of the State. The shire president (Cr W. P. Mason), and Mr Geo. Shepherd (Somerville), spoke in support. The Premier, who replied at length, met with a most enthusiastic reception. “The Press” was the other toast given, proposed by Mr Geo. Keast, and acknowledged by the special representatives of the “Age” and “Argus,” and Mr Young, of the “Standard.” The catering arrangements, as usual, were admirably carried out by Mr Vicars. At 8 o’clock Mr Lawson addressed a crowded audience at the Mechanics’ Hall, when the shire president presided. The Premier, who met with a flattering reception, urged the importance of casting a Nationalist vote, and if they voted 1 for Sambell they were to be sure and vote 2 for Cook, or visa versa. A vote of thanks, moved by Mr
Gamble and seconded by Mr Geo. Keast, was carried by acclamation. Mr Utber, who was to have moved vote of thanks to Premier, was unable to be present, owing to illness in his family. *** THERE was a good attendance of members at the quarterly meeting of the Frankston Social Tent, I. O. R., held on the 22nd ult. Bro Angwin, C.R., occupied the chair. Mr T. Ferrier was complimented on having collected £6 14s in aid of the Blind Appeal Fund, and an acknowledgement was received from the Lord Mayor. Bro. Ferrier thanked all who had subscribed so liberally. *** WE are informed that an Honor Board of a very handsome design, has been ordered for the Frankston Methodist Church. Arrangements are being made for the unveiling to take place on the last Sunday in September. It is expected that either ChaplainGeneral A. T. Holden, C.B.E., B.A. or Chaplain Colonel E. Nye, B.A., will perform the ceremony. *** WE regret to have to report the death of Mr Edward Sage, who, as previously reported, was seriously ill. He was removed to the Alfred Hospital for treatment, but despite all that could be done for him there he passed away on the 24th ult., and was buried in the Frankston cemetery on the following day, the Rev A. P. McFarlane officiating at the graveside. It is said that the deceased was one of the first white people born on the
Peninsula, and has lived in this district ever since. *** A SAD fatality took place in the district on the night of the 24th ult., when a housekeeper, named Kate Pyle, aged 62 years, employed by Mrs Wm Frayne, was accidentally suffocated by smoke, supposed to be the result of the upsetting of a candle, which ignited the clothes of a bed in which deceased was sleeping. She retired to rest in her usual state of health, and failing to appear the following morning to carry out her domestic duties as usual, an investigation was made by Mrs Frayne, who was horrified to find the room full of smoke from the smouldering bedding, and the unfortunate lady quite dead. A magisterial inquiry was conducted by Mr Chas Murray, J.P., when the following finding was brought in: “That deceased met her death by suffocation, caused by her accidentally setting her bed on fire.” The remains were sent to Frankston for interment. *** CRICKET supporters are invited to attend a meeting at the Frankston Hall on Wednesday, 7th inst., at 8 o’clock. Dr Maxwell, the convener, points out that there was no club last year, and much pleasure and exercise was lost in consequence. A revival is hoped for, but it is necessary that all lovers of the game accept this opportunity of attending to assist in the formation of a club. *** CLIP your nails and trim your whiskers!
“Brush-up” smart and show your breed. Hold your own among “fine friskers”, If you don’t you’ll “run to seed!” Wear no garments antiquated, All old fashioned fads abjure For colds refuse all dupes out-dated, Insist on Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. *** THE origin of the name of Frankston is claimed from two different sources – one that the town was named after Charlie Franks, who was employed by the State to visit the different native camps and distribute food to the natives. Frankston was one of the camps he used to visit, but it was at Little River, Werribee, that he met his end at the hands of the natives. The other source of the name of Frankston that has been advanced is that it was named after Frank Liardet, who, with his brother, owned Ballam Park, now owned by Mr. C. G. Y. Williams. The first bricks used in building at Melbourne were made at Ballam Park. There are large deposits of clay throughout the Peninsula, which were originally basalt, and which has more readily decomposed in the Peninsula than in other districts. This is shown by specimens at the Geological Museum, Melbourne. *** AT a special meeting of the Shire Council held on the 18th inst., Cr. Wells moved, in accordance with notice given at a previous meeting, that the councillors of each riding act
with the engineer in administering the building by-laws. He said at present the whole of the responsibility was thrown on the engineer. He considered councillors had a duty to perform in this connection, and he for one was not going to shirk it. He referred to the fact that Mr. Farmer had been compelled to put up a cantilever verandah, while Cr. Oates, who had erected a shop at the same time as Farmer, had made provision for a post verandah. Cr. Wells said he would like to know if an area had been defined within which cantilever verandahs must be erected. Cr. Oates: I had my application in long before Farmer. Mr. Candy (who represented the engineer) said he personally suggested to Mr. Sambell that new business places in Frankston should be proved with cantilever verandahs. The place was going ahead, and Farmer’s building occupied a position where a combination verandah was necessary. After consideration Mr. Sambell acted on his (Mr. Candy’s) advice. Cr. Wells: It is the fault of the engineer that he takes too much advice. Cr. Wells produced a plan of a building proposed to be erected on a 33-foot frontage, with rooms 13 ft. x 13 ft. This plan, according to Cr. Wells, was turned down for some paltry reason, and Frankston had lost a new building. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 2 September 1921

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
For Father’s Day, Wherever It Finds You By Stuart McCullough AT first glance, it’s just an old tin can. It sits where it has for the past forty or so years, on my father’s desk. But more than just a piece of recycling gone astray, this empty can represents the pinnacle of my career as an artist. Of course, he was not to know that this would be as good as it would get. I can’t recall naming it, but if I were to do so, it would be called, ‘Empty Tin Can Pencil Holder With Random Pictures Stuck On.’ As the artist, it was incumbent on me to sign it but I failed to do so. It was, I think, an oversight on my part. The tin can is decorated with pictures that I chose, reflecting the things that were most important to me at that time of my life. Eric Estrada’s on there. He played ‘Ponch’ on the television show, ‘CHiPs’ about the California Highway Patrol. While Eric and his co-star Larry Wilcox were important figures to me, I doubt very much that my father felt the same way. Despite this, he thought no less of my work. In fact, I think the piece generally positioned with the ‘Ponch’ side facing out. Fonzie may also be on there. For people of a certain age, there was a time when Arthur Fonzarelli from ‘Happy Days’ was the epitome of what it was to be a cool adult. A role model, if you will. As a stage of development, though, the ‘Fonzie’ stage is somewhat fleeting. The older you get, the more you realize that having the men’s toilets as your ‘office’ really isn’t that flash. To say nothing of living above the garage of the parents of your best friend who has, himself, long since moved out of home seasons earlier to

work at the Milwaukee Journal before totally going off the rails and directing ‘Far and Away’. There’s probably a football on there. Maybe even an Essendon player. This was clearly before I was officially declared a ‘lost cause’ on the football front. He must have had such high

hopes for me. As I grew up, there was a succession of Essendon Football Club jumpers, always several sizes too big, that my father purchased. Either he was being thrifty and knew we’d grow into them or, as was probably the case, he had only a loose idea of how tall we were and simply erred on the
side both of caution and larger sizing. Those jumpers sat on our tiny frames like tents, billowing in the wind. When the breeze was particularly strong, the jumpers were like a sailboat spinnaker and would become bloated with air before capsizing the occupant. We often wore them when playing ‘kick to kick’ in the backyard, along with our gumboots. It must be said that the task of kicking a football is made all the more difficult by the wearing of gumboots. In fact, gumboots are only one notch up from clogs, in this regard. Our father, however, was relentless. Not for him, the gentle drop kick in our general direction so that we’d have some hope of marking the ball. Rather, he’d dispatch a wild torpedo punt that was not kicked to you so much as it was launched into orbit. My brother and I would spend ages running (to the extent that running is possible in gumboots) after the ball before returning it, inadequately, to the other side of the yard. His approach to cricket was equally punishing. Rather than a tennis ball, he favoured something called a ‘composite’ ball. It was something akin to a miniature cannonball that he’d fire down the pitch with all the speed he could muster. They produced the most spectacular bruises imaginable. I, for one, have nearly given up hope that the bruising will, in fact, ever subside. It’s no surprise to anyone that I failed as a cricketer. This is despite the fact that my bedroom had wallpaper decorated with cricketers. What an exercise in optimism that was. Although it’s been thirty years since I left that house, the cricketers remain in place.
If my father was disappointed to receive an empty tin can pencil holder for Father’s Day, he didn’t show it. Nor did he hesitate to give it pride of place on his desk. I wonder whether he thought to himself that he’d keep it there until I invariably produced something better the following year when I was more proficient, only to realize as each year rolled by, that this was my artistic high-water mark. To make things worse, my brothers and sisters created their own father’s day projects that were so obviously superior to mine. It’s hard, I think, when you have a younger sibling who’s been blessed with every creative skill you lack. The year I produced a tin can with pictures stuck on it was probably the year my younger brother produced as twelve foot bird cage that played ‘Sink the Bismarck’ whenever you opened the door. Like a lot of people, I won’t see my father on Father’s Day this year. I wish I could be in Tyabb. I wish I could step into that study and see all the gifts of Father’s Days’ past littered around the room. Instead, I’ll wait. And when the time comes (as it surely will), I’ll ask him to pencil in a time in his diary for us to catch up. At least he knows where to find his pencils. Until then, I’ll be making his gift. It’s a tin can decorated with things that are important to me. There’s no Eric Estrada, no Fonzie either; just pictures of my family. Because that’s what’s important to me now. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Strikers no to junior boys’ NPL SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie PENINSULA Strikers told Football Victoria last week that they would not compete in the elite junior boys’ NPL competition next year. This leaves the local area with just two junior NPL licence holders, Langwarrin and Mornington. Strikers have contemplated this move for some time as senior vicepresident and NPL coordinator Steve Schreck explained. “Probably when our under-16 team left and we had to withdraw from that age group,” he said. “We had the minimum squad number but six players decided they wanted to play elsewhere and that left us with 10 players and you can’t run a team with those numbers. “It was all good until the registration window and that ruined us. “We only found out two days before the deadline that all these lads were leaving so we didn’t have an option but to withdraw.” Running a compliant JBNPL program is demanding if clubs stick to the specifics of their licence and although Strikers placed an emphasis on compliance it still proved a difficult assignment. “The hardest part is getting the numbers due to the dilution of the talent pool,” Schreck added. “Then you have to get coaches that fit the compliance criteria including a technical director and goalkeeping coach. “The coaching and the medical requirements (physio/trainer) were the main areas we found clubs were not compliant with. “So now our focus changes and we’ll offer the same programs at community football costs so COVIDimpacted families can commit to the sport in these uncertain times. “We’ll concentrate on these important community aspects in which we have done so well over many years now.” Schreck’s email to FV formally withdrawing from the JBNPL highlighted the club’s struggle to field the minimum amount of players in all four age groups. It also pointed to the impact on the quality of its junior program. “Even if we did field the teams, the quality would be highly compromised,

which is not what we want and is not fair to any of the more talented players we may have. “The talented player pool (willing to play NPL) in the area is not what it was when we started, and is even less now. “We hope, by letting you know early, you can plan around reallocating licenses so as not to disrupt the NPL and possibly assist the other two local (junior) NPL clubs in this area.” Strikers have asked FV for specific community junior slots for two age groups. “We request that we be granted a team in the Community 15s A grade and 16s A grade competitions. “Prior to NPL we had A grade teams in most age groups (and) by granting us A-grade teams in the above two age groups we should be able to retain most players in the two teams, with the NPL-aspiring kids still being able to trial elsewhere.”

knew what to expect. “How did we not have guidelines in place for these eventualities after what happened last year?” However all is not lost for Mornington and Pines. It is believed that FV is giving close consideration to implementing an NPL2 restructure and increasing that competition from 12 to 14 teams. This would create vacancies in NPL3 and Mornington would be a prime candidate. And State 1 South-East became an 11-team league earlier this year when St Kilda dropped out so restoring it to a 12-team competition for the coming season seems all but assured. But league restructures are not the only issue the state body is considering. It has set a Friday 17 September deadline for the release of its 2021 fees refund policy.

season Mornington sat on top of the league a point clear of BoroondaraCarey Eagles who had a game in hand. Mornington was 10 points ahead of third-placed Eltham Redbacks. Pines were eight points clear of second-placed South Yarra and were firm title favourites. Head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor was dismayed at what he sees as a lack of communication and planning. “I get why they cancelled the season but there still is no explanation of why there’s no promotion,” he said. “The lack of communication is very disappointing. “And why did competitions decide not to play rounds 10 and 11 when we restarted after the previous lockdown? “If they had then everyone could have played everyone else then we could have made a call on promotion and relegation. “Local footy presented clubs with a number of different scenarios so clubs

Meanwhile the impact of last week’s FV announcement of a season cancellation with no promotion or relegation is still being felt. The cancellation announcement aligns with other codes but is a body blow to Mornington and Frankston Pines. Mornington has long eyed a berth in the NPL and was set to achieve this aim with promotion from State 1 while Pines were on the verge of securing the State 3 South-East championship. This is the third time that Mornington has been denied NPL promotion. It won back-to-back State 1 titles in 2015 and 2016 but FV continued to fence off the NPL from State League clubs. In 2016 Nunawading City finished last in the old NPL2 East with just one win for the season while scoring 20 goals and conceding 112 yet it retained its NPL licence.

Footy called off for 2021 AFL
By Brodie Cowburn THE 2021 MPNFL and SEWF seasons have been called off. After weeks of inactivity on the field because of COVID-19 restrictions, AFL South East finally made the decision to pull the pin on the season last week. A statement from AFL South East read “following on from [the] announcement to extend the lockdown for Greater Melbourne, it is with much sadness that AFLSE has determined that the remaining games fixtured for season 2021, including all finals, for all AFLSE administered leagues will be cancelled.” “This is an extremely difficult decision and we had continued to hold hope that we would be able to complete our season. However, it has become clear over the last 24 hours that it will not be possible to return to football in the Greater Melbourne area in the near future. We wish to thank all club officials, players, volunteers, umpires and our partners for their willingness to remain flexible and for their understanding throughout the whole year in very difficult circumstances. “We will work with all leagues to manage the impact this decision has, including whether premierships will be awarded, in due course. We remain committed to running our virtual awards night for each of the competitions to provide a positive closure to the season. More information on this will be provided over the coming weeks. The ALFSE team hope that all of our communities are staying safe in these challenging times. We look forward to a safe return for the 2022 season. “AFL Victoria will provide an update on other AFL lead programs, including Auskick, in due course.” Other leagues statewide, including the Southern Football Netball League, have also made the decision to cancel their seasons. The VFL season was abandoned last week too, putting an end to Frankston’s push for finals. The Dolphins sat at six wins and five losses for the year, by far their best result since re-entering the league in 2018.
Cliff Brown is back HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based trainer Cliff Brown is back training winners in Australia. The 15-time Group 1 winning trainer in Singapore returned to Victoria in May and broke through for his first winner back with Veterok at Pakenham on Friday 27 August. Just a week later and Brown has claimed the Group 2 McEwen Stakes with his Group 1 winning Singapore sprinter, The Inferno (formerly known as Inferno). After racing keenly and trapped wide first-up at Caulfield to finish midfield, The Inferno quickly shot back into form in the 1000m sprint at The Valley to win by a comfortable one-length margin over Matt Laurie’s Group 1 winner Portland Sky. The victory had Brown highlighting his promising sprinter as a potential candidate for the $14 million The Everest in October. “He was brilliant. I knew he’d improve but I didn’t know where he sat still (with his Singapore form). Just to see him do it, it’s just tremendous,” Cliff Brown said. “It’s not an aim (The Everest) but if we got a position, we’d certainly take it.” The Inferno got out to winning the Singapore Guineas (1600m) last year but Brown believes the promising sprinter would be better suited to the shorter trips at this stage. “He pulled very hard (over the mile) for the majority of that race. He was just too good for his own age group that day,” he said. “He might get a mile in time but just not at the moment – 1200m and 1400m, not a problem.” The Inferno’s next target is yet to be locked in.
Blazing away: Cliff Brown’s The Inferno sprints away to win the Group 2 McEwen Stakes (1000m) at The Valley. Picture: Supplied
Now with 14 horses in work at Mornington, Brown said he’s gradually adjusting to the training style in Victoria. “We’re still learning. There’s still work that I’m not sure if that’s enough or too much but we’re getting there slowly,” he
said. “It’s a promising start but it can also turn around very quickly.” Brown trained five Group One winners in Australia before moving to Singapore in 2008.
