Heritage plans set aside after backlash Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A CONTROVERSIAL plan to heritage list Frankston homes has been abandoned. Frankston Council’s “gap heritage review” had identified 24 sites to be considered for heritage protection. In addition to the Riviera Hotel in Seaford and the Frankston Mechanics In-

stitute, several local homes were also earmarked for heritage overlay. Homeowners set to be affected by the heritage review reacted with outrage. They complained that the process had been poorly executed, and that some homes had been listed in the review without proper site visits being conducted (“Homeowners unhappy with heritage review”, The Times, 25/4/21). At their 31 May meeting, Frankston

councillors voted to formally set aside the heritage study. A statement from Frankston Council read that it “supported the protection of Frankston’s heritage as it provides essential links with the past and help us to define our shared community history, but not at the expense of concerned property owners.” Cr Suzette Tayler said “we are the voice of residents and it’s clear this was not the path that residents wanted

to go down.” In place of the heritage review, councillors agreed to note a separate report which looked into council’s heritage grant program. The report recommends spending an additional $60,000 on the annual program at the mid-year budget review, taking the total grant funding amount to $100,000. “An increase in the heritage grant funding will enable property owners of existing heritage places included in

the heritage overlay of the Frankston planning scheme to access these funds for maintenance and restoration works of their heritage places,” council’s statement read. “Further to this, councillors voted to refer consideration of funding to the 2022/23 budget process to employ a heritage adviser enabling advice and support to landowners with properties already in the heritage overlay.”

Proposed law targets hoon spectators THE state government will be lobbied to introduce laws which would punish spectators at hooning meetups. At a recent meeting of the Municipal Association of Victoria, a coalition of the state’s council’s, Frankston Council advocated for a motion to introduce new hooning laws. It wanted to see the introduction of legislation to create an offence for spectators or other people to attend a hoon event. The motion was passed by the MAV, which will now advocate the cause to the state government. The mayor Kris Bolam said ”local laws are relevant to individual council areas” and that “while police are authorised to enforce them, it remains a local effort.” “Transient offenders often move to neighbouring areas to avoid penalties or punishment. This motion seeks to ensure a consistent enforcement approach is taken to control hoon activity across the state,” he said.

Lockdown continues but some students return Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au VICTORIA’S lockdown has continued into this week. The “circuit breaker” lockdown was due to end at 11.59pm on 3 June, but was extended by a week.

There remain five reasons to leave home, shopping for food and supplies, authorised work and study, care and caregiving, exercise, and getting vaccinated. However, some restrictions have been eased heading into this week. The 5 kilometer travel radius has been expanded to 10 kilometers,

VCE students have returned to schools, and some outdoor workers have been authorised to return to their jobs. Acting Premier James Merlino said ”stopping the spread – and getting our whole state back to normal – means knowing the restrictions that apply to you, and sticking to them.”

“We’ve seen examples of people who left Melbourne, broke the rules and took the virus with them. We do not want that to happen again,” he said. “No one wants to be here. And I know this news is tough for every Victorian, every family and every business in this state. But the Chief

Health Officer has no choice but to give this advice. And the government has no choice but to follow it. If we don’t, this thing will get away from us and people will die.” As of 4 June there are 72 active cases of COVID-19 in Victoria.

Station Street Mall a top spot STATION Street Mall in Frankston has been named one of the state’s finest outdoor spaces by the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects. At a virtual awards night, the Frankston spot was crowned one of 18 winners. Station Street Mall won the award of excellence for civic landscape. The citation written by the judges

read that “Station Street Mall is exemplary for its carefully considered and site specific response demonstrates the breadth of skills and leadership that landscape architects bring to issues of urban activation. A clear visual unity combined with a spatial diversity, beautifully detailed ensures this modest project is welcoming and a source of pride for the public.”

AILA Victoria landscape architecture awards jury chair Naomi Barun said “the past year has seen changes in the way public places are valued, with the rediscovery and enabling of new forms of connection and expression. These places became the backdrop for social exchange, exercise and mental reprieve.”

Cinema thief caught on film A MAN is wanted for stealing alcohol from a Frankston cinema last month. Just before 6am on 22 May, the man stole four bottles of booze from the candy bar at Hoyts Cinema. Police say the man they are looking for is “Caucasian, approximately mid

to late 30’s, medium build, wearing a camouflage hoodie, long pants and dark coloured shoes.” An image of a man police wish to speak to has been released. Anyone who recognises the man can contact Detective Senior Con-

stable Brendan Fontana at Frankston CIU on 97845535 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. A MAN wanted over a theft at a cinema. Picture: Supplied

Drug, weapon charges laid A MAN and woman have been charged after police in Seaford allegedly found drugs, knives and a gel blaster with a laser pointer in their car. At around 11.40am on 3 June, police on Hadley Street searched the car of a man and woman. After allegedly discovering the drugs and weapons, they then executed a search warrant at an address in Allawah Avenue. Police allege that they found and seized drugs from the property. Frankston Crime Investigation Unit detectives charged a 34-yearold Frankston man with drive whilst suspended, prohibited person possess imitation firearm, possess imitation firearm, and other weapons offences. He was remanded overnight to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 4 June. A 29-year-old Frankston woman was also charged with possess ecstasy, possess proceeds of crime, possess cannabis, possess GHB, and possess prescription medication. She was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 22 October.

Blaze contained AN off-duty PSO acted quickly to help control a fire which threatened homes in Langwarrin last week. A fire started in a bin on North Road at around 2am on 1 June. From there it spread onto a fence and continued to grow. Protective services officer Christine

Burns noticed the fire as she drove home from work, and stopped to help. She worked to evacuate nearby homes before helping to contain the blaze with a hose while firefighters arrived. In the end nobody was hurt, and major property damage was avoided. PSO Burns said “having been a CFA volunteer for some time I understood the importance of acting quickly. I’m just glad no one was injured, and the damage was kept to a minimum.”

Car over cliff AN elderly woman was lucky to escape serious injury when her car drove over the cliff after a two-car collision on the Esplanade, Mount Martha, last week. The woman, 89, of Mount Martha, was able to push open the door of her Lexus sedan and crawl 15 metres back up to the road, 11.30am, Friday 4 June. The woman’s car went over the cliff after colliding with a Mercedes sedan being driven by a 77-year-old woman, also of Mount Martha, near Park Road. They were the only occupants. Neither woman was injured but both were taken by ambulance to hospital for assessment – one to Frankston Hospital and the other to a private hospital. Senior Constable Travis Cute, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said the older woman was “very lucky” to avoid serious injury. “She was quite spritely for her age,” he said. A tow truck hauled the Lexus back up the cliff. Both cars were towed away.

Skater’s successful campaign A CAMPAIGN by a young skater to have his local skatepark upgraded has been successful. Langwarrin Skatepark at Lloyd Park will soon be improved. 13-year-old Caiden led a campaign to have the park refurbished, which eventually caught the attention of council and local MPs. A federal government grant of $20,000 was announced for the project last week, which adds to a funding commitment already made by Frankston Council. Caiden said “expanding the skate park would be good for everyone. Not only does it support positive mental health, it also gives kids something safe to do.” Over 350 people signed Caiden’s petition.

Dunkley MP Peta Murphy said “the facilities at the Langwarrin Skatepark are outdated and, in some places, unsafe. The Langwarrin community deserves a skatepark that’s safe and that caters for different levels of experience.” “I look forward to continuing to work with Frankston City Council, who also provided funding, on immediate improvements and consultation and design on bigger works,” she said.

UNCERTAINTY around the staging of the Tokyo Olympics has not deterred students from St Macartan’s Primary School, Mornington from supporting the Aussie hopefuls. Over the past few weeks, in response to a plea from the Australian Olympic Committee, the students drew simple, inspirational pictures and quotes for display on the walls in the athletes’ village. Year 6 student Ned Croft is pictured above posting the pictures during home learning.

Chimney warning WINTER is here, and Mornington Peninsula firefighters are urging residents to check and service fireplaces, chimneys, fireboxes and flues. Last year, Country Fire Authority and Fire Rescue Victoria crews responded to 192 chimney fires – with 104 in the coldest months. “Chimney fires can quickly turn into house fires so the few minutes spent now could be one of the most important fire safety actions you take this season,” CFA chief officer Jason Heffernan said. He urged households with open fire places to have chimneys professionally cleaned annually to avoid the build-up of creosote – a highly flammable black tar-like residue. “Creosote is caused by general use, but it can also build up more quickly by using green wood or treated timbers,” he said. “Make sure to only burn dry, clean wood to reduce the risk of fire starting from a fireplace or wood heater.” Chief Officer Heffernan advised residents to use a torch to check for creosote build-up or obstructions and urged them to extinguish a fire before going to bed or leaving the house. Chimney and heating tips include having chimneys cleaned annually and gas heaters inspected and serviced every two years, placing a guard or screen to prevent sparks and wood from falling out, not drying clothes near fires and not having flammable items, such as curtains, close to a heater or open fire. Children and pets must be supervised near all types of heating.

Councillors line up to condemn annual ‘decimation’ of crabs We, the councillors from the Mornington Peninsula Shire, are appalled by the comments from Dallas D’Silva of the Victorian Fisheries Authority (“Spider crabs stay on the menu” The News 2/6/21). Our community has been advocating for a notake season since 2019, due to the decimation of the giant spider crabs during their annual moult. The aggregation is used by the crabs to protect themselves from natural predators. This annual marine phenomenon is something to be celebrated, yet here the VFA is advocating for the crabs to be plundered and pillaged at their most vulnerable. On 18 May our council unanimously passed a motion for the Victorian government to institute either a seasonal ban, or an exclusion zone, during the aggregation. Members of the Mornington Peninsula community have been very strident in their support for the giant spider crabs, and we will stand with them and advocate until these animals are protected during this period. Mayor Despi O’Connor, deputy mayor Sarah Race and Crs Susan Bissinger, Antonella Celi, Lisa Dixon, David Gill, Steve Holland, Kerri McCafferty, Debra Mar, Anthony Marsh and Paul Mercurio.

Crab plunder ‘no joke’ I see Dallas D’Silva from the Victorian Fisheries Authority as a comedian. He claims (not for the first time) the mass plundering of spider crabs is a family activity he actively is encouraging (“Spider crabs stay on the menu” The News 2/6/21). Essentially, he is saying he doesn’t give a damn what the Rye community thinks or even Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Locals and visitors who have witnessed this plundering spectacle know there is absolutely nothing of the “family activity” about it. Before 2019, the family activity for most people was passively observing this amazing phenomenon, not watching them being carted away in car fridges. Those of us who have strongly and consistently advocated to ban this carnage are aware of Mr D’Silva’s refusal to consider banning crabbing from Rye pier and Blairgowrie marina during the moulting season. He makes no mention of these two carnage spots, preferring to talk generically about the bay. He appears totally indifferent to complaints about chicken carcasses, wire cages and rubbish strewn around Rye pier and foreshore. He also seems to be indifferent to the destruction of marine habit (such as that of seahorses) by the metal cages or disruption of the food chain - rays feed off the moulting crabs. Wake up Melissa Horne, Minister for Fishing and Boating, and stop your director, Dallas D’Silva, from regarding the plundering as a benign family activity. Banning the taking of spider crabs from Rye pier and Blairgowrie marina during the moulting period would be the act of a responsible minister

who thinks beyond a client only, revenue raising mentality. Mechelle Cheers, Rye

Quarantine time waste I am feeling completely disappointed and very upset that our prime minister [Scott Morrison] and Flinders MP Health Minister Greg Hunt have taken so long to admit their constitutional duty to provide adequate quarantine facilities for Australia and finally agreed to building a facility in Victoria. From the beginning of this [coronavirus] pandemic, expert epidemiologists have been calling for purpose-built quarantine facilities, but have been ignored by a prime minister who just doesn’t seem to get it. In our constitution, quarantine is a federal responsibility. In August, Mr Morrison said: “I think, yes, we have to live alongside the virus … The real strength of our ability to live alongside COVID is testing, tracing and outbreak containment.” This is a very risky and foolhardy strategy, as we have seen around the world, and completely ignores the fact that adequate quarantine is our first major defence against this virus. Hotels were a short term, stop gap measure when nothing else was ready but now, more than a year has passed with 21 breaches of quarantine from hotels around Australia while Howard Springs [in the Northern Territory] has not had one breach. Hotels have shared airspace, so it is common sense that they are not adequate for this deadly contagious virus. I was speaking to a friend who did hotel quarantine in Sydney who said she could smell cigarette smoke through the air conditioning, so of course the virus can move the same way. Mr Morrison and Mr Hunt twiddled their thumbs for more than a year and should have done the math earlier - it is cheaper to build adequate facilities than to lose billions of dollars in lockdown after lockdown due to the federal failure on quarantine. Vicki Sullivan, Rye

Trust misplaced I might find myself applauding Hillview Quarries’ efforts in planting trees in Arthurs Seat State Park were it not for the clanging irony that it is gearing up to destroy up to 94 acres of neighbouring pristine bushland (“Quarry pays for state park trees”, The News, 2/6/2021). Staff spent two hours planting 100 trees. Yes, that would be commendable if quarry owner the Ross Trust was not planning to spend several decades blasting millions of tonnes of granite out of the ground next door. If the trust gets its way, its new quarry will wipe out a crucial biolink and jeopardise the already identified 28 threatened species of flora and fauna in the area. Those 100 trees look like a drop in the ocean. It’s almost like if AGL had offered to raise a few tadpoles to offset the catastrophic damage a gas facility in Western Port would have wrought had that equally disastrous proposal been granted. In your article, Greg Fitzgerald tells us the 10year relationship between his Habitat Restora-

SPIDER crabs caught in a net during their June 2020 moult at Rye. Picture: Jane Headley tion Fund and Hillview Quarries “has consistently achieved positive outcomes for the state park”. The outcomes over the 70-year lifespan of this quarry would, on the other hand, be consistently cataclysmic. “Habitat restoration in our natural bushland requires a long-term view approach,” Mr Fitzgerald adds. And yet the only long-term outcome of the trust’s open-cut mine would be environmental devastation. You have to ask yourself what friend of nature gives with one hand while laying waste with the other? The Ross Trust can’t have its cake and eat it. It is either a philanthropic conservationist or a profit-hungry miner. It can’t be both. Let’s hope the trustees’ conscience guides them down a green and righteous path. Elizabeth Clancy, Shoreham

Groups ‘greenwashed’ I wonder if the Habitat Restoration Fund knew that in exactly the same year (2018) the Ross Trust (Hillview Quarries) gave it the grant, it also applied to the state government to destroy up to 94 acres of a critical biolink on the north face of Arthurs Seat (“Quarry Pays for State Park Trees” The News 2/6/21)? Shame Ross Trust, trying to greenwash groups. Michelle de la Coeur, Red Hill

Food waste fear Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has announced it knows “many have waited patiently for this exciting new chapter and it’s finally here. We will start collecting your food scraps from Monday 19 July. You’ll be able to add all your food waste into the green waste bin, including bread, dairy and meats” (“Food waste pick-ups to cut rubbish load” The News 3/5/21). Many councils, including the Surf Coast and Boroondara, have a similar service which is known as FOGO. These councils provide ratepayers with a separate FOGO bin which is collected weekly. Many peninsula ratepayers are not permanent residents and their green waste bins may not be put out for collection for many weeks, indeed months. In order to avoid any health risks from such things as meat and dairy remaining in green waste bins for protracted periods, I suggest that ratepayers should not follow the advice of the shire and that they do not place foodstuffs in their green bins, the health risk is too great. Imagine if bins with meat and dairy products in them for extended periods are tipped over after being put out for collection? The consequences do not bear thinking about. Bill Holmes, Sorrento

Roadside helpers I am always reading a lot of bad things about people and what they do, but it is great to see that there are many people in this world who do a lot of good work and do not get recognised for their effort, as I found out last week. As a regular cyclist I was riding with another rider from our bike club when I collapsed off my bike. Upon being moved to the nature strip my co-rider was helping me when a lady pulled up who, by the way, was going for a dental appointment, to render assistance as she was a nurse, she then attended to me until the ambulance arrived. Meanwhile, a tradesman, who was on his way for a flu shot, also pulled up to further help and offered to take care of my bike and returned it to me after I was back from hospital. These two strangers I did not know, and my co-rider all stayed with me until I was taken to hospital by ambulance, even though they had appointments. Thanks to you all for your care and assistance. Graham Bailes, Mornington

No handouts If capitalism is so great, why do capitalists ask socialism to bail it out or pay for its unquenchable thirst over and over again? So, this “private” group of businesspeople the Committee for Mornington Peninsula - wants Mornington Peninsula Shire to fund its agenda (“Questions over shire’s ‘promised’ $50,000” The News 25/5/21). I suggest they go to the ideologically motivated, neo-liberal, pseudo-Christian extremist federal government for the money. It could make a “ministerial decision” and hand it out from the 1more than $10 billion corporate welfare to the fossil fuel industry which pays little or no taxes. The ideologically motivated, neo-liberal, pseudo-Christian extremist federal government loves to give money to the entitled class, good ol’ boys private schools (at the expense of the public system) and corporate mafia agendas. The Committee for Mornington Peninsula might actually have some self-serving good ideas, but lest we forget, they are a business group with a minimum membership fee of $1000 and do not represent the general community. They need to pay their own way to get what they want and stop asking for handouts. They do not even represent the greater business community as most [businesses] could not afford the membership fee.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

New arrivals experience terrible misfortune He emphatically stated that he would not give £100 for the whole turn out, and none of his colleagues seemed anxious to outbid him in the matter of personal speculation. The Council, quite obviously, is not acting on its own judgment. It is being influenced largely by the views of the Electricity Commissioners. Unfortunately the Commissioners do not have to find the money – the ratepayers of the Shire have to foot the bill. Frankston ratepayers, from bitter experience, have formed a very accurate idea of the value of the electricity turn-out. The Commissioners have also arrived at an estimate of the value of the plant with a long name. We are inclined to back the opinion of the ratepayers against that of the visiting expert. The expert tells us that the plant he saw is capable of effectively lighting Frankston and Seaford. Frankston people know that the Company has been trying to provide an effective lighting system for years and has never given satisfaction. Is it expected that change of ownership or management will work a miracle, and that the noisy back-firing engines will be docile and effective in the hands of the Council when they refused to work satisfactorily under the company’s management. It is a foregone conclusion that the expenditure in sight will be doubled before the Council succeeds in giving an effective light service. Talking of light, it would be illuminating to know where the Council gets its authority to enter on this new venture, involving a large financial outlay,

Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR and Mrs James Liddle, who with their family, arrived in this district about ten days ago, from Hopetoun, have had an unusually sad experience. Two members of the family, a boy and a girl, aged six and three years respectively, were suffering from severe colds on arrival here, unfortunately these developed into bronchial asthma, and despite all that could be done by Dr Griffiths to save them the girl passed away on Sunday and the boy on Wednesday. It is stated by Dr Griffiths that the sudden climatic change from the Mallee district to the prevailing cold temperature here is chiefly responsible for the sad event. Both have been interred in the Frankston cemetery. Much sympathy is felt for the family in their bereavement. *** YESTERDAY the Council of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings decided to acquire the celebrated electric light outfit at Frankston. When the contract is signed, which will probably be some time next week, a deposit of £500 will be paid, and later on other payments, totalling something like £4000, will have to be met. This bold step has been taken as the result of a conference between the Electricity Commissioners, the Frankston Gas and Electric Light Company and the Council. It can be reasonably assumed that the Council is not looking forward with any degree of pleasure to the handling of its new possession. Cr Wells does not like the idea at all.

without first seeking the sanction of the ratepayers. If the ratepayers are not concerned about the matter, and are indifferent as to how thousands of pounds are expended on any old proposal that comes along well and good. The ratepayers must find the money. If they are not particular as to the manner of its expenditure the Council cannot be blamed for splashing it about. The Local Government Act contains provisions protecting the ratepayers in matters of large expenditure. It would be strange if it proved nonprotective in this case. *** THE scheme suggested for the improvement of Kananook Creek has been condemned by the Government. The matter was before the Council yesterday, as will be seen from the report appearing in another column, and on Saturday (tomorrow) night a special meeting of the Seaford Progress Association will be held to consider the position. Nearly 12 months ago the Minister for Public Works assured a large deputation from this district that the creek would receive attention. All he asked was that the officers of his department be allowed a week or two in which to verify the figures submitted by the shire engineer, Mr A. K. T. Sambell. This promise received tardy fulfillment and it was only after much letter writing and agitating on the part of the Seaford Progress Association that the Department finally sent an engineer to inspect the creek. It is to be hoped that the Depart-

PUZZLE ZONE

ment, having condemned the scheme proposed, will come forward with some practicable suggestion to meet the difficulty. The Minister has admitted that a certain amount of responsibility rested with the Government in improving the existing condition of the creek.. *** DR V. J. E. Zichy Woinarski died suddenly on Friday last, at his home in Mornington, as a result of a heart seizure which overcame him while he was returning from a sick call. Dr Woinarski, who was a brother to Judge Woinarski, gained his medical degree at Melbourne University after receiving his education at Melbourne Grammar School, and prior to the war he practiced for several years at North Melbourne. He was 56 years of age, and he has left a widow, two sons and a daughter. *** THE dry spell has broken, and the nice, steady rains will keep the grass going and enable the ground to be worked. Nurserymen should be particularly thankful, for, although insufficient to penetrate deeply into the soil, it will facilitate the lifting of trees. Orders for young trees are coming steadily, but, as the nurseries are carrying lighter stocks, many kinds are unobtainable. The areas planted during the past three years have been more restricted than in pre-war seasons. *** FRANKSTON Police Court Before Mr Knight, P.M. Allan Tivendale was charged with having converted to his own use

money belonging to the Commonwealth Savings Bank. He was not represented by counsel. Mrs Sherar, of Langwarrin, and Mrs Ruby Eileen Atkinson, of Cranbourne Road, Frankston, gave evidence to the effect that on March 7th they deposited £7 each in the Commonwealth Savings Bank at the Frankston Post Office. Reginald George Lewis, postal assistant, stationed at Frankston, stated that the accused gave him £13 and the two deposit slips on the night of Friday, March 11th, and he put the money through on the 12th in the usual way. John Dixon Kinvig, postmaster, Frankston, gave corroborative evidence. Detective Holland, of the Postal Department, gave evidence regarding an interview he had with Tivendale at Mordialloc. Tivendale had told him he had lost money at the races and owed money locally, and made a sworn statement. There was no money missing and Tivendale was not short in his money advances. “He bears a good name,” said the detective, “and is a good lad.” Accused pleaded guilty, and was committed to stand his trial at Melbourne on July 15th. On hearing the verdict, Mrs Tivendale, the accused’s mother, collapsed in a dead faint and fell heavily amongst the chairs. Bail was allowed, in his mother’s surety. *** FROM the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 3 June 1921

Meet the man behind the camera SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LOCAL soccer is blessed with some excellent sports photographers covering the exploits of clubs throughout the broad peninsula area. They include Darryl Kennedy, Gemma Sliz, Paul Seeley and John Punshon and their photographs have appeared in these pages supporting our coverage of the local game. Kennedy is a former player, coach, team manager and administrator who turns 60 this year and has been involved in the sport since he was 12 years old. Most of his playing career was with Seaford United (including stints with Seaford North and Belvedere, the forerunners of the current club at North Seaford Reserve) but he also played for Frankston City colts, Peninsula, Carrum and Baxter. “I started as a teenager through playing with mates at school and at first I was a right back until I got moved into the centre-half position,” Kennedy said. “I never won anything. No personal stuff, nothing. “Even had a few coaches that refused to play me because they were afraid of me giving away penalties. “Just let’s say brutality rather than finesse was an apt description. “There aren’t any playing highlights to be honest and I was one of those guys that was just happy to play in the reserves.” His connection with Seaford spans over 40 years as a player (over 10 years), thirds’ coach (11 years), junior coach (over 10 years), senior team manager (two years), committee member (four years), junior co-ordinator (one year), club president (two years) and supporter. “One year at Seaford stands out when I was president, team manager, coach of the thirds, coach of my son’s junior team and Bayside Football Association president,” he said. “That was a very long year. I don’t think I could go through anything like that again.” Kennedy also had two years as the team manager at Frankston Pines (2004, 2005) after being surprised by an approach from then Pines coach Stan Webster. “I was in the pub one day with (wife) Louise and (son) Liam and I

think from memory the Webster family had some function when Stan came over and asked me if I’d be interested in becoming his team manager. “I have no idea why he approached me and I went down there with some reservations at first but I ended up having a very enjoyable time – apart from chasing Tommy (Mitchell) about the place trying to get equipment off him but that was part of the fun down there.” Kennedy’s interest in sports photography had been sparked during his time at Seaford by Steve Gray, now one of the premier football videographers whose website Football Chaos and its facebook counterpart have become synonymous with grassroots Victorian soccer. “I first met Steve at a Seaford game against Rosanna and I think he was living up that way at the time. “He was taking photographs and

photographer has many highlights. They include his connection with the Gaelic Athletic Association of Victoria and rugby union (Wallabies and Melbourne Rebels). For years he freelanced for ex-pat publication the Irish Echo, and even went to Ireland to cover the GAA World Games in 2019. “Some of the best moments of that trip were walking on the hallowed turf of Croke Park and going over to England to watch West Ham play at London Stadium,” the Hammers’ tragic said. He’s had many cherished football moments among them covering Glasgow Celtic and LA Galaxy tour games and many Melbourne Victory A-League matches and while being photographed with David Beckham and meeting then Irish international striker Robbie Keane might be seen by some as highlights there’s one

you rarely saw someone doing that and doing it well.” But it was during Kennedy’s stint as Pines team manager that his interest took hold and his skills and knowledge of photography grew. “A few years later I think Steve had moved to Cranbourne and rather than taking photos had started videoing games. “I thought to myself I don’t see many people taking photos and I’d like to do that so I went out and bought myself a camera. “As Pines’ team manager I had access to all these areas so I started taking photographs and when my time at Pines ended I discovered that I could get accreditation through the FV or FFV at the time so I did and started going to games, mainly Premier League, and taking photos. “That’s how it all started.” And Kennedy’s journey as a sports

match at the MCG in 2013 that stands out. “Being there while thousands and thousands of Liverpool fans sang ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ was something you never forget.” But Kennedy’s attraction to sports photography is much more than working at iconic stadia or being at big games. “People used to ask me what it’s like being a photographer and I’d say it’s like going to see a play and sitting in the audience then someone comes up to you and asks you if you’d like to operate the curtain. “Others might think that that’s not much of a job but they’re wrong. “You’re now up on stage getting to meet the stars, to see them perform, to see how it all works. “That’s the enjoyable part ‫ –ؘ‬meeting all these people I never thought I’d meet in my lifetime. “I’ve not just been up close to world-class footballers I’ve also met state premiers, the president of Ireland and plenty of politicians among many others and that’s a part of what makes photography so interesting and so great. “That’s the attraction.” Meanwhile in Football Victoria news the state body emailed clubs last week with Saturday 20 June pencilled in as the season reboot pending restrictions. All clubs were encouraged to prepare for a number of possible impacts of the current season pause including: n playing matches already scheduled for catch-up rounds during midweek n an extended season and playing postponed matches/rounds during the proposed finals series n fixtures that cannot be rescheduled and have no impact on promotion or relegation to be deemed as a no result n any club not wishing to participate in a postponed fixture being deemed the forfeiting team n the sequence of playing opposition teams and home and away patterns being amended. The remaining local club in the FFA Cup, Langwarrin, is now likely to play its away tie away against Moreland Zebras in the week after the proposed league resumption.

Red Stringy, Blue Gum and Sugar Gum hardwood $280 per tonne per cent and work long hours or you’re not. I’ve put 110 per cent in myself and my staff have been good to me for the last 10 years but at the end of the day I’ve got a young family. I’ve probably put them on the back burner a little bit so maybe it’s time to re-address the balance.” Born in Ireland, Kingston has had many roles in the racing industry with his training career just one of the many hats he’s donned in the last 20-odd years. Kingston initially came to Australia with shuttle stallion Bahamian Bounty in 1999. The renowned gentleman of the Mornington training complex settled in Australia in 2008 where he has worked as a racing manager for trainers

Robbie Griffiths and Mornington-based Jason Warren. Kingston also spent time working for RISA prior to taking out his own trainer’s licence. “Although everyone probably knows me for training, I don’t think I’m just a one-trick pony,” he said. Kingston’s next endeavour is likely to be a jockey manager for Mornington-based apprentice jockey Celine Gaudray. “If I’m successful in my application for a jockey manager’s licence I’ll take over the management of Celine Gaudray who is a very good up-and-coming apprentice to Pat Carey. He’s guided her through the initial stages very well and she looks to have massive potential. I’m really excited about that,” he said.

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based trainer Robert Kingston has saddled up his last runner after a decade of competing in the Victorian ranks. Kingston, who claimed his first winner with On Tour in 2011, sent out his two-year-old filly Class Action as his final runner at Wangaratta on Thursday 3 June. Class Action finished at the rear of the field but Kingston can go out on a high after his perennial bridesmaid Art Major broke through for a well-deserved maiden victory at Cranbourne on the Friday night prior. “He’s missed a few times so when he won it really made my mind up,” Kingston said. “I’ve thought about it for a while and I think it’s a nice time to go out.” Kingston saddled up over 800 runners and claimed 73 victories over his 10-year training period. He said it was becoming “noticeably harder” in the competitive Victorian environment and believed it was time to embrace a better work-life balance, with his young family at the forefront of his mind. “I’ve loved every minute of it, and I still loved it [Thursday] morning,” he said. “It’s tough hours as everyone knows you’re either in it 110
