MORNINGTON EASTER RACE DAY New Look Jason Warren Team Thriving

By Julian Cook

After over two decades as a horse trainer, Mornington’s Jason Warren has grown conditioned to change.

It’s the nature of the industry that horses, staff and even properties come and go but it’s the foundations that trainers build themselves over time that ultimately set them up for continued success.

Warren had always been keen to learn, long before preparing his first ever winner, Oro’s Gift, at his home track in June 2001.

“I was essentially a horse breaker and pre-trainer who developed into a trainer and when I made that transition, I felt that I probably needed to further my education if I’m going to be a competitive, commercial trainer,” Warren said.

“I went and worked for Lee and Anthony Freedman. Essentially, I base the way that I train on the way that they train.

“I rely on my eye a lot and being up close with the horses, seeing how they pull up after they gallop and how they eat every morning.”

The past decade has seen several gun gallopers pass through under

that watchful eye. Bel Sprinter was his banner horse for five seasons, delivering Warren his first and only Group 1 title in the 2013 Galaxy (1100m) at Rosehill. Rosemont Stud bred and owned superstar Brooklyn Hustle was next to fly the flag, bursting onto the scene in 2018 before retiring in June last year as one of the unluckiest horses in recent memory not to win at the elite level.

The absence of Brooklyn Hustle threatened to leave a sizeable hole in Warren’s ranks but as luck would have it, along came Hellbent filly Benedetta. The rising star made her debut in December last year before winning four on the bounce and over $600,000 in prize money with her greatest victory so far coming at her penultimate start in the $750,000 Inglis Sprint (1200m) at Flemington on March 4.

“Our banner horse from last season, Brooklyn Hustle, she’s just retired to stud. It’s nice to have a filly like Benedetta to fill her shoes so it’s exciting times ahead for our stable,” Warren said.

“The barrier beat her at her first start at Moe and since then she’s just taken big steps at every outing. What she reeled off [in the Inglis Sprint] was as sensational on the clock as it was to the eye, and we feel that we don’t know where her ceiling is yet.”

Warren says that all options are on the table for Benedetta in the spring, also highlighting his confidence in the likes of Confrontational and Tax Free Prophet while declaring that “the

sky’s the limit” for star two-year-olds Freakofnature and Treasurway.

“It’s very exciting and I think we have a lot to look forward to, especially in the spring. We’ve also got a really good team of staff, probably the best that we’ve had in many years.

“You can’t do it without good people around you and essentially it’s not just good people supporting your stable with good horses but also the staff to take care of them.”

it privately. 10-acres so close to the track, opposite our front gate is the entrance to the pool.

It’s just the perfect spot and I’ve built 16 boxes here with the view to building another 50 down the front.

“The horses are very relaxed when they walk out of our front gate. It’s pretty quiet, you wouldn’t think you’re five minutes from Mornington being here. It’s so peaceful.”

That serenity contrasts with the “electric” atmosphere that Kate says is currently running through their stable thanks to quality horseflesh and fresh surrounds.

As for Warren’s motivation for another big race victory, ten years after claiming his first Group 1?

Warren’s recent success would suggest that he’s in career-best form, this season he’s already knocked off his own prize money earning record with four months still to go. Good staff and horses help but his decision last year to compliment his existing set up with the purchase of a 10-acre property on Roberts Road, adjoining Mornington Racecourse, also appears to have contributed greatly.

“I’m a fierce competitor, whether that’s a BM58 at Pakenham on a Thursday night in the last race or a Group 1 on Friday night at Moonee Valley.”

“I think that the moment that you lose that competitiveness, you’re probably in the wrong game.”

Some things never change.

“I’ve trained at Mornington for over 20 years and most of that time has been off track.”

“My partner, Kate, found this place for sale and so we bought

Building plan at VCAT soon Frankston Council officers have publicly declared a proposed building (pictured left) along Kananook Creek too large, but the power to act is out of their hands. VCAT will consider the proposal in July. See story page 5. Picture: Supplied

Commercial property owners face steep rate rise Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au COMMERCIAL and industrial property owners in Frankston may soon see a big increase to their council rates.

Frankston Council’s draft budget for the next financial year has been presented to councillors.

Rates charged on commercial and industrial properties in the Frankston municipality are expected to sharply increase in the coming year.

Frankston Council estimates average rates on commercial properties will increase by more than 14 per cent. Rates

on industrial properties are expected to increase by a little more than 33 per cent.

The draft budget reads that rates on residential properties will increase by less than one per cent, and that the total average changes to rates and municipal charges will not exceed the state government’s 3.5 per cent rate cap.

In the draft budget papers, council officers said a recent revaluation of house prices was the reason for the rate rises. They wrote that they conducted an evaluation of Frankston properties in the 2022/2023 financial year, which found that local property valuations had decreased by 3.24 per cent.

Frankston Council projects a surplus

of nearly $28 million for the 2023/2024 financial year. That figure is inclusive of capital grants which are allocated to specific projects.

Without capital grant funding, council has projected a $4.1 million deficit as its adjusted underlying result.

A funding injection of $20.1 million for Kananook Station car park works is the largest council will receive in the next financial year.

Other major projects Frankston Council has budgeted for in the next financial year include pavilions at Jubilee Park, Eric Bell Reserve, and Ballam Park Athletics Club.

The state government sets the rate

cap each year. The rate cap limits the amount a council can increase its total revenue collected from general rates and municipal charges compared to the previous year.

Local government minister Melissa Horne announced the 3.5 per cent limit for the 2023/2024 financial year in December. She said “the rate cap for the next financial year takes into account higher inflation and the need to protect Victorians from uncontrolled rate hikes, while ensuring councils can continue to deliver vital community services.”

“Each council is responsible for setting rates within the rate cap based on

the needs of their community,” she said. “Community members have the chance to engage with their local councils as they make decisions about rate rises through their budget process each year.”

Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy wrote a message to ratepayers in the draft budget. He said that the 2023/2024 budget is “a balanced and transparent budget that truly represents the needs and values of our community.”

Frankston councillors were expected to voted on the draft budget on Monday, shortly after publication deadline.

It will then go out for community consulation.

Jubilee Park builder goes bust THE builder responsible for the rebuild of Jubilee Park in Frankston has gone under.

News broke last Friday that Lloyd Group, the builder contracted for the Jubilee Park project, had entered voluntary administration.

The Times understands that the $35 million Jubilee Park rebuild is close to completion.

Frankston Council has confirmed that four council projects have been impacted by the builder’s collapse Jubilee Park Stadium, the Healthy Futures Hub at St Kilda FC’s former Seaford training base, Lloyd Park Senior Pavilion, and Eric Bell Pavilion.

In a statement to The Times, Frankston Council said it is working with appointed administrator Deloitte to assess the status of affected projects.

“Council will work with all parties to ensure this process goes as smoothly as possible. Discussions with Deloitte to date have been positive and we expect to receive a progress report next week and are hopeful of a resolution within the next few weeks,” council said.

“This is a disappointing situation for council and all involved. Due diligence checks to assess a company’s financial viability are routinely conducted as part of council’s procurement process prior to engaging a contractor for any major construction project. Lloyd Group were deemed sound for all projects, however in the current increased inflation market conditions, issues such as we are now experiencing are unforeseeable.

“Council officers, CEO Phil Can-

tillon and mayor Nathan Conroy are reaching out to all sporting and community groups affected by the situation and will keep them updated during this period.”

In February last year, Frankston Council announced that the Jubilee Park rebuild was due to be finished in March 2023, and moved forward

$8 million in spending on the project (“Jubilee Park project accelerated” The Times 9/2/22).

The redevelopment was budgeted to cost $35.32 million. Frankston Council committed more than $20.5 million in ratepayer funding to it. The state government allocated $10 million to works, the federal government $4.56

million, and Cricket Victoria/Cricket Australia $200,000.

Deloitte was appointed as Lloyd Group’s voluntary administrators on Friday, 31 March. Sam Marsden from the Deloitte voluntary administration team told the ABC last week “in these early days, we will be undertaking an urgent assessment of the business’s fi-

nancial position and project-by-project status, and immediately commence communication with project principals and stakeholders.”

“We will also immediately commence an accelerated sale process and hold discussions with parties that might be interested in taking on individual projects,” Marsden said.

Construction work on the Jubilee Park redevelopment began at the end of 2021. The rebuild was slated to include six multipurpose indoor courts with a 1000 seat show court, four indoor cricket training nets, training facilities, community meeting and function rooms, change rooms, a cafe, and a creche.

Lloyd Group was responsible for multiple local school and sports projects, including the redevelopment of the RF Miles Reserve pavilion.

High-rise proposal ‘far too large’ - council Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON Council officers have called a 16-storey proposal on Nepean Highway “far too large”, but it may be too late for councillors to do anything about it.

The planned development, which will occupy the former Frankston Cinema site along Kananook Creek, stands nearly 57 metres tall. Its fate has been left in the hands of VCAT after Frankston Council failed to consider it within a prescribed timeframe.

The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal will consider the 16-storey proposal for 438-444 Nepean Highway in Frankston between 5 and 7 July.

Frankston Council officers have presented a report on the 16-storey proposal to councillors. It reads “whilst the planning policy framework, FMAC structure plan (2015) and the draft FMAC structure plan (2022) encourage urban consolidation with taller more intense building form within the precinct, the proposal does not respond in an appropriate manner to the urban context of the subject land. The proposal is far too large, too intense, and borrows far too heavily from the landscape and future amenity of neighbouring private and public land, to represent a suitable planning outcome.”

“The height, setbacks, bulk, mass and scale of the proposed development is not consistent with the strategic objectives of the Frankston Metropolitan Activity Centre Structure Plan (2015) and draft Frankston Metropolitan Activity Centre Structure Plan (2022),”

Fundraiser for cancer support A CONCEPT for a proposed building by Kananook Creek. Picture: Supplied council officers wrote.

A motion prepared for Frankston councillors to consider read that had a VCAT appeal not been lodged, council should have refused a permit.

Environmentalists fear that the 438-444 Nepean Highway proposal, combined with an already approved 14-storey proposal for 446-450 Nepean Highway, will form a “great wall of Frankston” between the beach and city centre (“Residents fear a great wall is coming” The Times 14/3/23).

A petition titled “Stop The Great Wall of Frankston” has received more than 2600 signatures.

Building heights have been a hot issue in the debate on Frankston’s 2022 draft metropolitan activity centre structure plan, which is due to be final-

ised in the coming months. The draft FMAC structure plan outlines a series of “preferred” height limits around Frankston, which can be exceeded at council’s discretion.

The 16 storey proposal is planned to include 188 dwellings, six retail premises, and two commercial offices. Its height of 56.9 metres exceeds the preferred height in that area by more than 15 metres.

The Times asked Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke his opinion of the highrise development plans along Nepean Highway. He did not respond by publication deadline.

Frankston councillors will debate the report on 438-444 Nepean Highway at their Monday public meeting, shortly after publication deadline.

KINGSWOOD Golf Course in Frankston will host a charity golf day next month to raise money for Ronald McDonald House.

The Rivers Round event is organised by the family of River Reid, a young girl who miraculously survived a bout with cancer.

River Reid was diagnosed with stage four lymphoma and HLH when she was just six months old. She endured 60 rounds of chemotherapy in the five months that followed, and went into remission.

A fundraiser has been set up by Simon Reid. He said that the Ronald McDonald House was a “blessing” for the family, and had provided “an opportunity to coordinate visits with River and mum who were constantly in the Childrens Hospital.”

“RMHC helped coordinate life in a time where the next minute was hard enough to comprehend. The love and

support of the staff and those who have donated, provided a constant reminder that they were not alone and eased the burden in such a traumatic time,” he said.

Rivers Round will be at Peninsula Kingswood Frankston, 5 May. Golfing packages start from $295. Contact riversround2023@gmail.com for more information.

MORE parents are being screened for depression and anxiety through a Peninsula Health program. Picture: Supplied

App helps treat depression for new parents MORE than 2500 new mothers have been screened for perinatal depression and anxiety through a new Peninsula Health program.

Peninsula Health says that its iCOPE system is a “world-first online screening program to detect perinatal depression”. The program, a partnership between Peninsula Health and Centre of Perinatal Excellence, has been running for nearly a year.

It is estimated that more than 100,000 parents a year suffer from perinatal depression or anxiety. Peninsula Health says that around 74 per cent of women with perinatal anxiety or depression don’t seek help until they reach a crisis point.

Centre of Perinatal Excellence Dr Nicole Highet said that action was needed to prevent suicides. “With suicide being one of the leading causes of maternal death in Australia, and rates

of perinatal anxiety and depression rising further during the COVID-19 pandemic, screening during pregnancy and in the first year after birth is more critical than ever,” she said.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has further increased the incidence and severity of perinatal depression and anxiety, with a huge increase in calls to helplines and support services. At the same time, many people have become more reluctant to attend medical appointments in person due to COVID concerns. Now, more than ever, our health services need to be using this world-leading technology to implement regular, faster and more efficient perinatal mental health screening to identify women who are at risk or are experiencing symptoms.

The sooner symptoms are detected, the faster treatment can begin, which is why it’s so important to spot the

signs early. “iCOPE will change the way perinatal mental health screening is conducted across the country and ensure all new mums and mums-to-be have the opportunity to undertake regular mental health checks, in line with the National Perinatal Mental Health Guidelines. The ability to complete the survey at home via the patient’s mobile phone means iCOPE provides a COVID-proof solution to the screening process, while ensuring mental health can still be assessed and monitored at a time when mental distress has increased.”

The iCOPE app allows for mental health screening to take place inperson or remotely. It is available in 12 languages, and is being rolled out at all Victorian public hospitals. Visit www.icope.org.au for more information.

You don’t have to go far to feel like you’re a whole world away. Just far enough to leave the crowds behind and find your space. A place where you can reconnect with nature, soak in the scenery and feed your soul.

Study assists family violence campaigner ANTI-DOMESTIC violence campaigner Rosie Batty was the guest speaker at a Chisholm Institute graduation event last week.

128 students received academic awards at the 2023 Chisholm Institute graduation ceremony at the Frankston Arts Centre.

Rosie Batty is a former Frankston Chisholm student. The 2015 Australian of the Year addressed the graduates, telling them her study helped her become an advocate for family violence victims after her son’s death.

“One of the subjects that I studied during my diploma was family violence, and that gave me the theoretical understanding and foundational knowledge to assist me on my journey to raise awareness of family violence, whilst challeng-

ing and seeking to change community attitudes,” she told the graduates. “My education foundations began at Chisholm, and I have certainly grown and developed enormously since then. Opportunities will become available to you throughout your life as well, and I encourage you to embrace them as they arise. I realise that life is a journey, a journey of continuous learning, and I learnt much from the two years I spent at Chisholm.”

Billions lost to scammers THE increasing threat of online scams has prompted calls for caution.

The federal government estimates that each year, Australians lose $4 billion to scammers.

Dunkley MP Peta Murphy hosted a scam protection forum at Village Baxter last month. She has urged residents to be careful about online safety to avoid scams.

“Anyone can be victim of a scam. As a community it’s so important that we increase our confidence, skills, and online safety. That’s what this forum was all about.” Murphy said.

“Protecting consumers is a top priority for the federal government, with a new National AntiScams Centre, tougher codes, and a dedicated minister to deal with these issues, announced through the fighting online scams measure in the October 2022–23 budget.

“If you have been scammed, there are steps you should take including immediately contacting your financial institution, reporting the scam to Scamwatch, notifying police, and calling IDCARE on 1800 595 160 if you have released personal identifying information to a scammer. We know scams exist so it’s important we are on the lookout for them.”

Kingston Council signs soft plastic deal Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A RECYCLING company has agreed to accept soft plastics from Kingston residents in the wake of REDcycle’s collapse.

REDcycle, the recycling scheme which accepted soft plastics dropped off at supermarkets, was officially suspended last November. It cited an inability to offload the plastic it collected as the reason for its suspension.

Last week, Kingston Council confirmed it has signed a deal with APR Plastics to restart a local soft plastic recycling scheme. The deal is not intended as a longterm solution to the soft plastic recycling issue.

Kingston mayor Hadi Saab said the deal would minimise waste being sent to landfill. “We know many people in our community want to do the right thing and were disappointed that they could no longer recycle soft plastics at their local supermarket,” he said.

“We’re proud to partner with Dandenong South business APR Plastics to offer a short-term option to make sure plastics are recycled rather than dumped in landfill where they can take up to 500 years to completely break down.

“Landfill space will run out in Melbourne’s southeast and eastern suburbs by 2025, so we must do everything we can to reduce our waste. We can all play a part by reducing, reusing, and recycling. I look forward to working with the other levels of government and our supermarkets to establish permanent solutions.”

Five drop-off points for soft plastics will be established in the Kingston municipality. They will be at the Kingston Council offices in Cheltenham, the Waves Leisure Centre in Highett, the Clarinda Community Centre, the Patterson Lakes Community Centre, and the Aspendale Gardens Community Centre.

Last year, REDcycle blamed its offtake partners for its operating issues (“Supermarket soft plastic recycling scheme suspended” The Times 15/11/2022) Visit kingston.vic.gov.au/softplastics to read more.

Petition’s call for plastic tax Liz Bell liz@baysidenews.com.au

Frankston Times

4 April 2023

A ROSEBUD grandmother has delivered an 18,000-signature petition to the federal parliament calling for taxes to be introduced on plastic packaging.

On Thursday 30 March Pam Pill took her petition to Canberra to hand it to David McElrea, chief of staff to Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek.

Pitt is the treasurer on the board of Citizens' Climate Lobby Australia, a grassroots environmental group working to influence climate policy.

She says that as a grandmother, she is committed to leaving a better world for future generations and was pushed into action after the collapse of plastic recycling company REDcycle which had claimed to have diverted more than five million pieces of plastic from landfill since 2011.

Last year REDcycle was declared insolvent after failing to pay storage fees for the thousands of tonnes of plastics it had been storing around the country.

Pitt said the company’s problems highlighted the need for the government to support the recycling industry, and the need for manufacturers to make more responsible choices.

“It’s time to make a stand against the increasing use of plastic in Australia,” she said.

Pitt started the petition last year, but said it had taken months in the planning and to secure an appointment in Canberra for the presentation.

“I feel sick when I see the amount of plastic in the oceans. I’m angry that

soft plastic has been stockpiled - they can’t find enough uses for the huge amounts collected. I hate that I don’t have the choice of sustainable types of packaging at the supermarket and retail outlets.”

Pitt said saving money at the expense of the environment should not be an option, with manufacturers currently choosing packaging on the basis of cost and profit.

“Plastic is cheap and the manufacturers have little regard to the impact on the environment and happily pass the responsibility of recycling to the end user,” she said.

“We need to make plastic less attractive to use. It is time that a tax was imposed at the point of import or manufacture of plastic. If plastic is more expensive, it will mean industry will look at other options.”

Pitt said governments should use the tax to subsidise sustainable or easily recyclable materials.

According to CleanUp Australia, about 13 per cent of plastics are recycled in Australia, despite the country generating more single-use plastic waste per capita than any other country.

Just two weeks ago, Coles, Woolworths and Aldi announced they were hoping to restart soft-plastics collection and recycling by the end of the year.

Pitt said her petition was “well received” in parliament and she was told there was a lot happening in the recycling space, as well as a global summit in April that Plibersek had been invited to.

Shire looks to save energy at pools PUBLIC swimming pools on the Mornington Peninsula will not be closing or changing opening times in line with cost-cutting measures adopted by some municipalities due to crippling energy prices.

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Steve Holland said that although power prices were rising steeply “at this stage” the council was not planning any changes to the operation of aquatic and recreation centres.

Aquatic centres use up to 15 times more energy per floor area compared to an average commercial office building.

Some Victorian councils have reportedly reduced pool temperatures in a bid to cut costs, while others have cut operating hours.

Cr Holland said the council was investigating ways in which it could reduce grid demand and become more energy efficient, such as through electrification and by optimising renewable energy assets.

“Energy efficiency is a priority.

When building the Yawa Aquatic Centre in Rosebud, we installed 916 solar panels on the roof,” he said.

“Since opening in 2021, Yawa’s 375kW solar system has offset approximately 812MWh of onsite energy demand, at an estimated value of $138,040. This has also prevented emissions estimated at 489t Co2 e from entering the atmosphere.”

In the UK and France hundreds of pools closed or reduced opening times over winter because they could not afford to heat the water.

Holiday workshops, events and exhibitions at MPRG MORNINGTON Peninsula Regional Gallery has kid-friendly exhibitions on over Autumn. Check out their exhibition New Wave 23 that features the artworks of VCE students from across the Mornington Peninsula.

Deborah Kelly’s CREATION has interactive multi-media displays that children will enjoy, and there’s also an exhibition of local artist Mike Green’s screenprints.

MPRG are also hosting a range of school holiday programs, including a teen workshop with contemporary artist Minna Gilligan. Minna is a well-known Melbourne contemporary artist. In this workshop participants will learn how to use lo-fi materials for drawing and collage. They’ll use old books from the 1960s and 1970s to create a vibrant mixed media work.

There are also school holiday workshops for kids aged 5-8 and 9+ where they will create moveable collage creatures and a mix-and-match book, with artist-educator Jill Anderson.

There’s a workshop for VCE students, focusing on ideas and inspiration. They can be inspired by the visual diaries and finished folio work of last year’s VCE students in New Wave 23 and see different ways they can successfully explore and develop ideas.

As usual, Young at art is on each Tuesday for preschoolers. Young at Art is a great way to introduce under 5’s to the wonders of art.

FARMER WANTS A WIFE

SEVEN, 7pm

SATURDAY

Calling all romantics: a new season of this endearing series arrives promising to yield lovey-dovey results. Before you scoff that “pigs might fly”, we have it on new host Samantha Armytage’s word that “for the first time ever, every farmer will find real love”. This time around, there’s also the added bonus of two hosts playing cupid, with Natalie Gruzlewski joining Armytage for the heartthumping experience witnessing lonely farmers date a handful of women. This season’s bounty includes young Queenslander David, who is about to discover he has a knack for making ladies weak at the knees.

MISS PEREGRINE’S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN

7MATE, 9.20pm

There is surely no director better suited to transferring Ransom Riggs’ dark, fantastical world from the page to the screen than the master of weird Tim Burton.

The tale, which is every bit as peculiar as the children therein, sees young Jacob (Asa Butterfield) discover a mysterious island, where he finds a refuge, overseen by the imposing Miss Peregrine (Eva Green), which is filled with children who possess all sorts of strange powers.a

MONDAY

MINISERIES: THE CLAREMONT MURDERS

SEVEN, 8.30pm

This new miniseries, based on the murders of three women in the mid-’90s, chills to the bone. Starring Erik Thomson, Kate Ritchie and Jeremy Lindsay Taylor (above), it follows the mystifying 25-year murder case, as seen through the eyes of those who hope of justice, and the journalist who followed the story all the way through.

Anyone who remembers the haunting headlines will find this a stomach-churning revisit.

GARDENING AUSTRALIA

ABC TV, 7.30pm

Rather than a haul of chocolate eggs, settle in for the sweet yolk of gardening wisdom in this seasonal special. There’s Easter cheer and abundance of autumnal inspiration, with host Costa Georgiadis the consummate plant and community-minded reveller – there is surely no one who can match his enthusiasm. Costa visits an inspiring bowls club, complete with a community garden and tool library, which has become a hub for gatherings.

Overcome the challenge of stairs by future-proofing your home STAIRS are the most common place for accidents to occur in the home and falls from stairs can have serious consequences.

Faced with this challenge, many people feel their only choice is to move to a single-level home.

If you are going to enjoy your retirement, then you need to address the issue of the stairs; whether it is carrying groceries or wood upstairs, struggling to walk down them yourself, or whether friends and family find them so hard to navigate that they no longer visit.

However when you go to look for single-storey homes, you may find that they are rare or expensive or just do not have the view. And besides, why lose all that money moving if you can stay safely in your home?

Australian RESiLIFT® inventor, Peter van Emmerik, conceived the first ‘through-floor’ residential lift because he wanted to empower people to stay in their home as they aged. He wanted to design a lift that was able to be installed into existing homes at an affordable price.

Peter’s award-winning lift has been replicated across the globe. His ground-breaking shaftless design was patented and has been the inspiration for many residential elevators.

“I designed this lift so people could stay safely in the home they love,” says Peter. “It saves time, effort and money that would otherwise be wasted moving home. It also removes the emotional anguish of being uprooted from your family home.” Without a doubt, installing a RESiLIFT® enables people to stay in their two storey or split-level home without the limitations and dangers of stairs.

Pictured: Margot Ling installed a RESiLIFT a few years ago so she could stay in her two-storey home.

“It’s such a relief! Now I know we can stay in our home! We love it!” says Margot Ling who installed a RESiLIFT® a few years ago. She said, “We love the area, we love living here, why would we move?!”

RESiLIFT® is not only an affordable solution, it’s a smart choice. The RESiLIFT® can be retrofitted into existing homes with minimal hassle. It can also be

easily installed in new builds. Many people on the Peninsula install the RESiLIFT® in their holiday houses as they prepare for their sea change.

Despite its very small footprint, RESiLIFT® still fits two people.

There are three different sizes available, some models can accommodate walkers and even wheelchairs.

RESiLIFT® has truly been a ‘life-saver’ in many people’s homes.

With the potential upheaval of an unexpected diagnosis, injury or surgery, it’s good to know that at least the challenge of stairs is removed.

One customer initially installed the lift for when their elderly parent visited, but it later helped when their grandchild developed mobility issues.

For many customers who are still agile and mobile, the lift may just be

used for carrying loads of washing, suitcases or groceries. This is much safer than carrying these items on the stairs and will help them stay fit enough to enjoy the rest of their retirement.

Installing a residential lift in your home is enables you to stay in the home your love.

Lardner’s Solicitors - more than just lawyers WHEN Jimmy Lardner founded the firm in 1991, he noticed many of his clients’ were needing more than just blunt legal advice. “In the background, I noticed they were expressing an unspoken need for a little empathetic understanding of the issues from their point of view, wanting some support, encouragement, and guidance. It clearly drove home to me a holistic legal approach had to be the only way to assist each client. That approach just took hold and became the fundamental building block of this firm.” says Lardner, who recently retired.

Over 32 years later, the attention given

to clients with highly personalised advice, guidance and support continues to be the hallmark of service. Highly respected and recognised as a true local, Lardners Solicitors serve clients in the Mornington Peninsula and the Frankston community through every aspect of their lives ranging from personal and business needs through to special needs in their senior years.

“Legal journeys can sometimes be difficult and challenging for our clients. We take the responsibility to help our clients navigate and make pragmatic and most cost-effective

decisions along the way. We are particularly sensitive to the special needs of our senior citizens. A prudent approach to a prudent pathway, leading to a prudent outcome is the only way we work to achieve the very best for them” says Andrea Griffiths, a principal of the firm.

“We have noticed our senior citizen clients are increasingly needing greater expertise and advice in areas such as wills and estate planning, asset protection, inheritances, retirement village matters, aged care and family and succession issues. Our solicitors are very intimately experienced with such needs and travel to visit

clients at seniors’ homes, hospitals, retirement villages and senior care facilities freely, says Ms Griffiths. Video and telephone conferences are also available.

“It is very pleasing to see all of the firm’s solicitors and employees continuing to uphold and remain tenaciously dedicated to its founding principles. The passage of time over the decades has not changed that holistic care for each client one bit”, says Lardner.

Whatever your interest. Greenways could be just the right fit for you.

Retirement living in Skye has a fresh new look EXCITING times lay ahead for Oak Tree Retirement Village Skye as they prepare to host an upcoming Open Day event on Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd of April.

The event comes just in time to showcase the huge renovation the entire village has undergone.

With a brand new outdoor bowling green, a complete revamp of the outdoor areas and village community centre including a new self-catering kitchen, modern, comfortable furniture, and a fresh paint job, Oak Tree Skye is looking completely rejuvenated.

“These renovations are a standard part of our maintenance program, which ensures the functionality of our facilities and revives the community, keeping it modern and current,” says Mark Bindon, Founder and Managing Director of Oak Tree.

“Just as importantly, these scheduled village renovations are a key part of our progressive model to protect the marketability of our product and maintain the value of the asset for the residents. This ensures they’ll get the best possible return on their investment when they resell their villa.”

The upcoming Open Day will be a great opportunity to meet Village Manager Steve, tour the furnished display villa, and meet some of the friendly faces that call Oak Tree Skye home.

“I’d encourage everyone to come down and see us, even if you’re still in the early stages of your journey. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience the recent village makeover, walk through a furnished display villa, and see if you could envision yourself living here. Anyone is welcome!”, says Steve.

The renovation is guaranteed to generate a lot of interest in the event, and with just 2 two-bedroom villas remaining, the village is sure to be at full occupancy in no time once the community sees the transformation.

Visit Oak Tree Skye at their Open Day event on Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd of April from 10am - 2pm.

A safe and secure option for unlocking the equity in your home.

IN recent years, the rising cost of living has become a major concern for many individuals and families, particularly those who are approaching retirement age. As people look for ways to supplement their income and meet their financial needs, one option that has gained popularity is the option to release the equity in a home via a solution like Homesafe Wealth Release®.

Homesafe Wealth Release offers a unique solution to the financial challenges faced by many older Australians. By providing the ability for homeowners to access the equity in their homes without having to go into debt or downsize, Homesafe Wealth Release offers a way for individuals to pay off debt or supplement their retirement income and maintain their quality of life in the face of rising living costs.

The cost of living in Australia has been steadily increasing over the past several years, with expenses such as food, housing, and healthcare becoming increasingly expensive.

For older Australians, who are often living on a fixed income, these rising costs can be particularly challenging.

Many retirees find themselves struggling to make ends meet, even after many years of saving and investing for their retirement.

For over 17 years, Homesafe (in partnership with Bendigo & Adelaide Bank) has provided a tried and tested solution which has assisted thousands of homeowners by focusing on providing a secure equity release option – debt free.

A debt-free option is not a loan, and as you don’t borrow money, there is no capitalising interest costs.

Repayments don’t apply, and instead the entitlement of the provider is capped so you can protect a portion of the equity in your home into the future. You can also sell your home at any time, or the provider will receive their entitlement when you pass away, and your home is sold.

Joan and Michael In November last year, Joan and Michael from Rye, approached Homesafe to pay off their $90,000 loan and $25,000 credit card debt.

“For us, a debt free solution was the answer. We were struggling to make the interest payments on our loan, and now we can spend money on our garden and can retire without financial stress. Michael is waiting for surgery and the costs for his medical care have been a real worry to us. The relief that we could use the value of our home and access the cash we need without having to sell, was life changing!”

Initially Joan had investigated a reverse mortgage but they were not comfortable with that option in their circumstances.

“For us, the Homesafe solution was the answer. We didn’t want to replace one loan, with another. Homesafe really changed our lives for the better!”

They even ended up recommending the Homesafe product to their friends and neighbours!

How can I make an enquiry with Homesafe?

Dim view of drastic prune This picture, right, is an example of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s and its arborists incredibly caring approach to tree management.

Sadly, Balnarring Beach koalas and residents have lost their battle to save this 70 to 100-yearold manna gum.

On Tuesday (28 March) morning council contractors and a platoon of police blockaded Balnarring Beach Road and proceeded to destroy another of the peninsulas koala food trees.

Residents had given alternatives to destroying this tree, but the shire chose to ignore them all.

Clifftop hazard One of the more nerve shredding short trips to be had on the Mornington Peninsula is to follow the 781 bus north on the cliff road [the Esplanade] between Ellerina Road and Lempriere Avenue. With patches of unmanaged erosion right up to the bitumen, watching the tyres of a multi-tonne bus mere inches away, is cause for sharp intakes of breath.

The hydrogen would be produced from brown coal or natural gas which, during production, releases carbon dioxide. This means that the Japanese get to use the clean hydrogen and we get to keep the climate damaging carbon dioxide. Not really that much of a deal.

Dr Ross Hudson, Mount Martha

Koala habitat lost I am absolutely disgusted with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council after they cut down the manna gum on Balnarring Beach Road. Who sanctioned this action? Whoever it was, they should lose their job.

Council makes a big noise about sustainability and protecting the environment when its actions do the opposite.

It can now be pleased that it has taken down a tree that provided habitat and food for koalas.

Will council be happy when it drives the koalas to extinction because their habitat has been destroyed? There should be consequences for this dreadful action.

The letters on Hastings development bring back memories of my State Rivers days when we looked after Mornington Peninsula’s water supply, swamps, Frankston’s Kanaook Creek (which was getting polluted from adjoining properties’ drainage) and installed the walling at the mouth to stop erosion.

Arguments over Hastings industrial development proposals and effect on the mangroves was in full swing, particularly when a strip of land was acquired with a view to extending the railway line for Hastings industry. I remember visiting the mill producing steel sheets, which must have been in the 1970s or 1980s.

On the need for more reliable power, I remember hearing a talk and photos on the big wind power towers in the sea off Denmark (I think)

and wonder if similar towers could be erected in Western Port.

It seems odd that we sell coal and gas overseas while trying to restrict the availability to our own population which has had gas appliances installed for years. General Monash would be horrified to think that the brown coal power he helped establish at Yallourn when starting the State Electricity Commission with technical information he grabbed during WW1 when he was leading troops into Germany and aware of their brown coal plants.

It is problem when you get old and can remember how things were.

Keith Murley, Blairgowrie

It was great to read the article about the need for more volunteer drivers to help Peninsula Transport Assist (PTA) to provide service to everyone who needs it (“Drivers needed to help others get out and about” The News 28/3/23).

I have been one of those volunteer drivers for five years and can attest to the wonderful service PTA provides to those without transport on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston.

Many of our clients are already stressed out when they find they suddenly need transport to a hospital or a specialist because they have had a “bad” diagnosis. Knowing they can get to the appointment and home without worry, even if they are confined to a wheelchair, makes a big difference to them.

Sometimes I have driven people home after they get the bad news. Tears may flow, but having someone from outside the family who will listen and try to understand can be of enormous help. Other clients have been taken to the ballet in Melbourne, art shows, concerts at Frankston Arts Centre, you name it, we go there.

One day you may need transport. Don’t forget many of us find we are off the road for a few weeks due to an eye operation or a hip or knee replacement. Aging spareth no man – or woman.

Bonus better spent Last week my household, like all others across Victoria, took from our letterbox a bright orange postcard. The Victorian government is giving us a $250 “power saving bonus”. Again.

All we have to do is go online, make a simple application, and the money is ours. No matter if we’re not struggling to pay the bill, or even if we’re the wealthiest family in the state. It’s a giveaway.

This would all be very exciting if I hadn’t, just the week before, read The Guardian’s article Victoria’s social housing stock grows by just 74 dwellings in four years despite huge waiting list.

It seems that even though the state government should be well into its heavily publicised Big Housing Build, only 74 desperate families have been taken off a list of tens of thousands who are waiting for a home.

Perhaps many of us who have a roof above us and electricity at hand, might think the $250 could be better spent? David Hunt, Frankston

Containing costs Though the price depends on the size of the home, many shipping container homes work out to be half the price per square foot of a conventional home (“Containing the housing crisis” The News 14/3/23). The average price of a very basic shipping container home begins at about $15,000 for a new container with a simple fit-out and ranges to about $70,000 for a two bedroom.

Typically, a cargo-worthy 20 foot container in Australia can cost you anywhere between US$1600 and US$2000. And a cargo-worthy 40ft container will cost around US $2500.

A new 40ft dry container will cost somewhere between $2500 to $4500, whereas a new 40ft high cube (HC) container will cost you around $2500 to $6000.

According to HomeAdvisor, converting a shipping container into a tiny home costs about $19,600.

Depending on the size, structure and design, a shipping container homes’ price could range from $15,000 for sale as new with a basic fit-out, to around $50,000 for a 12 metre two-bedroom container.

Book traces 26 years of women’s action THE Southern Women’s Action Network (SWAN) launched the book When Women Meet which chronicles its history, on 19 March at Mount Martha House.

Meeting at the same location where SWAN had its beginnings, the room was full of women who had experienced the SWAN journey that began more than a quarter of a century ago.

When Women Meet was authored by Diane McDonald together with Judith Couacaud Graley and SWAN members. The book records the journey of a community-based volunteer-led women’s organisation established on the Mornington Peninsula in 1996.

SWAN was created to increase women’s active involvement in community decision-making and to empower them to take action to address social justice and equity concerns.

The book was launched by Dunkley MP Peta Murphy who congratulated SWAN on its “impressive history” and commitment to social justice and human rights issues and for fighting against gender discrimination and family violence.

Murphy highlighted the number of outstanding female speakers who had addressed SWAN meetings and said how fortunate she and the guest speaker for the current meeting, Jean Ker Walsh, the co-convener of Grandmothers for Refugees were to be part of SWAN’s celebration.

McDonald, who joined SWAN three years ago, said she had been surprised to find that its story was not well known and, in helping write the book, “wanted to highlight their extraordinary

MEMBERS of SWAN at the book launch. Picture: Yanni achievements - so often understated, and to ensure that their efforts were not forgotten in the mist of time”.

Couacaud Graley described When Women Meet as “a feisty story about empowerment, companionship and friendship”.

“Joan Kirner, the only female premier of Victoria, was our first speaker so at the book launch

I mentioned how she maintained an ongoing interest in SWAN and would be very proud of our without fear or favour history of social activism”.

SWAN facilitator Erica Churchill said it was a “great achievement” that after 26 years its members “still working together for a better, more equal society”.

“I hope the book will inspire other women to join us at SWAN to hear inspiring speakers, meet with like-minded women and refresh their enthusiasm for social justice activism,” she said.

When Women Meet is available at swanwomen@outlook.com and at the next SWAN meeting to be held at Mount Martha House, 9.30-11.30am Sunday 21 May.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston school picnic a children’s treat Compiled by Cameron McCullough AT the close of last year the school children were promised “the best of picnics and sports,” as a reward for a good year’s work and especially for their success in gaining merit and qualifying certificates, and right well was the promise honored, for last Thursday will long be remembered as a day of days.

This fine result was due to perfect organisation by the staff, and a hard-working committee of ladies of exceptional ability, backed up by generous donations from the parents and child-loving friends.

The contest, began at 10 o’clock and continued through the day with breaks at 11.30 for lunch and races; 2.30 for ice creams and a first-class Punch and Judy show, by “Millar”; 4 o’clock for tea; 5.30 for lollies, grapes, apples, etc., and at 6 o’clock for a nut scramble.

In addition to prizes won every child received a gift.

A commendable feature of the day was the precision with which each child knew, and kept, its allotted seat, under the generous shade of the pine trees, during the distribution of the foods at the several sittings.

Evidently a rehearsal had taken place the day before.

At the close the head master, Mr. Jennings, publicly thanked Mrs. Rogerson, Mrs. Amor, Mrs. Evans and the committee for their hard work, the superior quality of the food provided and their fine organisation.

He also thanked Mr. Lind, who had so ably helped him in the sports from early morning to the end.

The children then gave such ringing

cheers for their benefactor as must have wide-opened the eyes of the startled owls in the pines.

Two important events have yet to be contested – the swimming championship for boys and girls.

For the former, Mrs. Amor has presented a watch, and for the latter a gold medal has been given by Mr. Lind. *** THE first ball of the season was given by the Hastings Football Club in the Public Hall at Hastings on Monday evening.

The event was splendidly organised by the club’s secretary, Mr. H. Haddock, and its members, and the result fully justified the pains taken.

A record crowd attended, so that by 10 o’clock the floor was fully taken up by couples whose only concern in life seemed to be “On with the dance!”

It was a gay scene, and old and young were equally happy, as oldtime dances followed the modern jazz.

The floor was in splendid condition, and non-dancers standing round the doors, as they listened to Miss Romeo, the pianist, regretted longingly the neglect of their education in their early youth.

The streamer and confetti dance completed the scene of gaiety. A good supper and ice cream followed, allowing for a breathing space to prepare for the latter half of the programme, which was carried to 3 o’clock in the morning.

Mr. Arthur Howell, as master of ceremonies, kept a tight rein on each dance, even the waltzing competition not escaping comment.

Such control as this must lead to a

much improved standard of dancing.

The winners of the waltzing competition were Miss D. Stanford and Mr. Cooage.

The one-step competition went to Miss R. Stanford and Mr. Martinoja.

In stating that the takings for the night were over £22, Mr. Haddock wished specially to mention the attendance rendered by the ladies. *** AN application from Mr. Norman Clements read at the Council meeting today brought up the question as to whether Wells Street should be considered as a residential or a business street.

Mr. Clements owns a 60ft. allotment in Wells Street, on which is erected a cottage. He asked permission to subdivide the allotment into two blocks of 30ft. each, as he had a prospective purchaser of the vacant portion who was desirous of erecting a lock-up shop on the block.

Cr. Longmuir favored nothing less than 40ft. There was plenty of land in Frankston.

Cr. Alden: You will find lock-up shops in Bourke Street with a frontage of only 10ft.

Cr. Mason considered that Wells Street should be considered as a business street, and he moved that Mr. Clements’ application be granted.

Seconded by Cr. May and carried. *** THE attention of the Country Roads Board is to be drawn to the sharp turn at Strahan’s corner, on the Pt. Nepean Road, near Mornington, as several motoring mishaps have occurred there in recent years.

The traffic on the road is heavy, and

Inaugural Rye 2023 Classic

the turn is too sharp for motors. *** CLAUDE Parsons, of Mornington, met with a peculiar accident by falling upon a darning needle, which entered his stomach and placed him in a critical condition.

Dr. E. J. Somers had to operate to remove the needle.

Parsons was walking from one room to another with the needle in his hand, and tripped and fell upon it. *** THE Prime Minister (Mr Bruce), who has been on a visit to Sydney, where he was accorded a great reception, returned to Melbourne on Thursday.

He will officially declare the Mount Eliza public hall open tomorrow, at which gathering there is expected to be a large attendance. *** MISS Lena Werner, of Frankston, sailed by the Omar for Europe today, sailing via Colombo, Egypt, Naples, Toulon, Gibraltar and Plymouth. *** “THE Standard” Delayed – Owing to a slight mechanical trouble in the intertype machine, which could not be repaired until this morning, owing to the holidays, the publication of this paper has been seriously hindered today.

With a little effort, however, we have been able to keep faith with our readers, though two pages less than usual. *** TWO boys, 14 years of age, named George Steele and Matthew Madden, of Camberwell, who were staying at Mount Martha, had a narrow escape from drowning.

They went out to sea in a boat, which they took from the beach, and were soon lost to sight.

A fisherman (Mr. Whitehead) made a search for them, and it was with considerable difficulty that he took the boys from the boat in a heavy sea. *** E. T. BYRON, formerly amateur champion of New South Wales, and subsequently a professional rider in America, who, competed at the Frankston sports on Monday last has challenged Ken Ross over five miles at the Exhibition tomorrow night.

Byron is hopeful of succeeding where Jack Fitzgerald and Harris Horder have failed. *** MR. Mason, of the Corowa “Free Press,” one of the principal newspapers in the Riverina, has been spending a short holiday at Frankston with his brother, Cr. W. P. Mason, J.P. *** THE Frankston Pictures Co. Ltd. will present Dorothy Dalton, supported

by Milton Sills, in “The Woman That Walked Alone” at Saturday’s pictures.

In addition to an Arrow comedy, featuring Eddie Barry and Vera Reynolds, Justine Johnstone will be starred in “A Plaything of Broadway.” *** THE Gippsland & Northern Cooperative Co. will conduct a clearing sale on Mr. J. Finch’s property at Seaford on Thursday next.

The list includes 120 cattle (including 30 milking cows), 300 sheep, 9 horses, and general farming plant. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 4 & 6 Apr 1923

MIKE Green is a Mornington Peninula-based self-taught representational artist who works across painting and printmaking.

He has a new exhibition at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery featuring a print portfolio he generously donated to the Gallery’s collection. Standing on the inside (Prints 1980 1991) presents a selection from this body of work. The etchings, lithographs and screenprints depict a range of semi-abandoned, ageing and intimate interior spaces, within homesteads, houses and beach boxes; many are the fruit of Mike’s epic journeys throughout rural and urban Australia, Boston and beyond.

Alive with the possibility of artistic adventure; the prints highlight Mike’s technical skill and experimentation, his preoccupation with light, space, colour and our built environment.

Born in New Zealand in 1945, arriving in Australia in 1949, Mike has exhibited in significant contemporary art galleries from the late 1960s into the 1980s when this portfolio was created. He has had an active career inside the art world, whilst mainly moving at its periphery.

Mike has travelled extensively over several decades, living on the Mornington Peninsula for over forty years with his wife Janet. MPRG is excited to present these works for the first time, as part of their local focus series of

exhibitions.

Head to the MPRG website to find out more about their autumn exhibitions, including Deborah Kelly’s CREATION and an exhibition of local VCE students titled New Wave 23. They also have an exciting program of school holiday workshops and an immersive ceremonial music and dinner experience with Deborah Kelly at Beleura House and Garden.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Et Tu, Mike Brady? Football’s Greatest Hit

By Stuart McCullough AT fourteen years of age, my partner Katrina relocated from Dublin to Melbourne. It was difficult. Finding herself in Diamond Creek, she experienced a full-blown culture shock exacerbated by incessant sunlight, the threat of reptiles and, of course, Mike Brady. The first time Katrina heard ‘Up There Cazaly’, she’d no idea what a ‘cazaly’ was. As best as she could tell, ‘Up There Cazaly’ was a uniquely Australian way of saying, if not ‘up your jumper’, then up somewhere else located a short distance away. She didn’t know the half of it.

Some disputes are interminable.

They endure long past the point of common sense and exhaust everyone involved. But while geo-political tugs of war get all the limelight, there are lesser-known rivalries that simmer way for decades almost without anyone noticing. Then, without warning, some small shift sees all hell, if not break loose, then ruffle its feathers and puff out its chest. I’m speaking of ‘Mike Brady Presents: The Songs of Football’s Greatest Sons’ by (somewhat unsurprisingly) Mike Brady.

Until recently, I had no quarrel with Mike Brady. Instead, my conflict was with my brother, Cameron, and our dispute centered on ownership of the Mike’s classic album ‘Mike Brady Presents: The Songs of Football’s Greatest Sons’. More than just a piece of vinyl with a collection of highly hummable but deeply specific tunes about football players, the album is the centerpiece of our shared childhood. If I’m honest, it’s possibly the album we listened to most when we

PAGE 38

Frankston Times

4 April 2023

were growing up.

Our father brought it home from work. He did that sometimes. When you least expected it, he’d arrive with something amazing. I can still remember the day he appeared with ‘The Smurf Song’ as a single. We played it for hours. I may have painted one of my brothers blue just to see what

would happen. It was a hugely transformative moment. Indeed, I thought that was the greatest day of my life.

Until, that is, Mike Brady turned up.

If I’m being honest, I’d never heard of most of the players Mike decided to honour in song. Kevin Murray, Keith Greg, Graeme ‘Polly’ Farmer and Peter Hudson were each sung about

with great gusto and although I was unfamiliar with their work as footballers, Mike’s songs transformed them into grand mythical figures. These were not men anymore but gods and heroes. The songs had high-drama, tragedy and success against the odds.

The album made most operas seem as pedestrian as a trip down to the shops.

It was a triumph.

We played the record often. At some point, my brother upped the ante, finding a microphone and plugging it in to the stereo, wailing along to ‘Flying High To Glory’ – a tune celebrating John Coleman – in a way that was so profoundly tuneless that our chickens stopped laying eggs for a time.

We loved the record as kids. It’s fair to say that in the history of recorded music, there’s been no other like it.

Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is all well and good, but none of the songs mention Mr. Football, Teddy Whitten. Granted, Led Zeppelin rocks like a three-legged chair but they never wrote a song called ‘Bobby Dazzler’ about South Melbourne’s three-time Brownlow medalist, Bob Skilton. More’s the pity.

In retrospect, it’s hard to believe that an album about footballers peaked at a relatively modest forty-four on the charts, especially when ‘Baby Shark’ is the world’s most-watched YouTube video. It makes no sense. But as much fun as we had, we (eventually) grew up and put Mike Brady’s masterpiece quietly to one side. There it might have remained, had Mike Brady himself not intervened.

The record belongs to my father but, for some time, my brother has

been positioning himself as the rightful heir. These manoeuvres can only be described as ‘Machiavellian’ in nature and make ‘Succession’ look like a veritable tea party by comparison. For the most part, I have suffered this with good grace, until I received a message on my phone. From Mike Brady.

It was a video. In it, Mike addressed me directly, telling me that my brother, not I, should inherit his album and that I should come to terms with this reality. I was incensed. In a futile attempt to calm down, I immediately played ‘The Smurf Song’ at full volume but it was no use. How dare he!

Mike Brady’s decision to interfere with the internal affairs of the broader McCullough family was nothing short of an outrage. I’d half a mind to tell him to take his opinions and shove them fair up his Cazaly.

Cam, on the other hand, is cock-ahoop. He believes that enlisting Mike Brady to adjudicate our petty squabble is the ultimate power move. He may be right. But although he may one day have possession of ‘Mike Brady Presents: The Songs of Football’s Greatest Sons’, there’s one thing he doesn’t have – a turntable on which to play it.

Serious injury halts opening round clash MPNFL

By Brodie Cowburn

DIVISION ONE

LANGWARRIN received a harsh introduction to the top division last Saturday.

Division one premiers Frankston YCW played Langwarrin at Lloyd Park. Langwarrin went all of 2022 without defeat, but faced a significant challenge in the Stonecats in their 2023 season opener.

Frankston YCW put Langwarrin to the sword. The Kangaroos only kicked five goals all day, and were defeated 5.7 (37) to 14.13 (97).

Josh Patullo and Christian Tsiampas both kicked four goals for the Stonecats. Luca Goonan also impressed.

Some poor goalkicking saved Pines from a huge defeat against Mt Eliza last Saturday.

Mt Eliza led Pines by a goal at halftime. The Redlegs piled on the pressure in the second half, but failed to make the Pythons pay on the scoreboard.

Mt Eliza kicked 5.20 (50) for the afternoon. Although it should have been by more they still managed to defeat Pines, who scored just 3.4 (22).

A fast start secured Frankston Bombers a good win over Bonbeach in their

season opener.

The Bombers booted six goals to two in a first-quarter blitz. Bonbeach wasn't able to get back in the contest.

The Bombers kept the Sharks at arm’s reach, and eventually ran out 9.7 (61) to 14.9 (93) winners.

Khan Haretuku and Lachlan Robinson scored three goals each for the victors. Harrison Prior was named best on ground.

DIVISION TWO

A SERIOUS injury forced the season opener between Karingal and Mornngton to be abandoned last Saturday.

Play was halted in the second quarter after a serious injury to Bulls player Reuben Hanson.

Karingal shared an update on Hanson after the game. He was taken to hospital by ambulance, and was diagnosed with a broken collarbone. He avoided any other major damage.

The club says Hanson is expected to miss up to eight weeks.

Devon Meadows sent a statement to the rest of the competition with a big win over Pearcedale on Saturday.

It was a dream start to the season for Devon Meadows. They debuted star signing Paddy Ryder in front of their home crowd, and dispatched Pearce-

dale with ease.

Pearcedale, who welcomed former Collingwood and Brisbane Lions star Dayne Beams to the side for the first time, didn’t score a goal until after three-quarter-time. They ended up succumbing to a comprehensive 14.15 (99) to 5.7 (37) defeat.

Dean Kent was among Devon Meadows’ best. Ryder also played well.

Hastings also secured a comfortable win to start their 2023 season in style.

They defeated Seaford by 53 points 14.10 (94) to 5.11 (41).

Crib Point had a good day at home on Saturday. They overcame a poor start to upset Somerville.

The Magpies scored just one behind during a cagey opening quarter. They scored five goals in the second quarter to get back on top.

Wayward kicking ended up costing Somerville. They scored one goal and six behinds in the final term.

Crib Point emerged from the hardfought contest victorious - 10.6 (66) to 6.13 (49). Warwick Miller booted four goals for Crib Point.

Round one concludes this Friday.

Chelsea hosts Edithvale-Aspendale, and Tyabb will host Rye.

Spivey seals Mentone victory SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie A MARCUS Spivey strike was enough for Mentone to emerge victorious in Saturday’s local derby against State 5 rival Seaford United.

Mentone’s talismanic scorer hit the target in the 17th minute after a move that typifies his team’s style under head coach Jason Grieve.

When Mentone wins possession its great strength is its ability to go forward quickly.

Spivey, Tyler Pollard and Frankie Varsamis form a combination of finishing, guile and pace and the decisive move on Saturday was set up by Pollard who was on the end of a long ball from Zaidan Allie on the left.

Pollard rolled the ball into the path of Spivey on the right and he gave Seaford keeper Bailey Caulfield no chance with a low strike from inside the area.

The home team’s custodian was deputising for injured number one Hayden Hicks who was one of eight first teamers missing through injury or unavailability.

While Varsamis was taunting and teasing opponents down the left his Seaford counterpart Andrew Packer was making life hard for Mentone’s defence but the home team’s inability to land a knockout blow on its opponent proved the difference on the day.

In NPL2 Langwarrin lost its second game of the season when it went down 2-1 to Preston Lions in front of a large crowd at Lawton Park last weekend.

The home side led at half-time thanks to a dreadful clearance from Preston keeper Sebastian Matosevic which was met first time by Langy captain Rogan McGeorge whose pass enabled Lenny Gregory to turn and slot home from close range.

Langy keeper James Burgess was put to the test in the second half and made some fine saves but he was powerless to stop Preston equalising in the 73rd minute.

An excellent reverse pass from John Roberts set up overlapping Dalibor Markovic on the left of the area and he squared the ball across the face of goal for a Jordan Figon tap-in.

And Figon’s second in the 83rd minute settled the issue.

He outmuscled Lucas Portelli on the left of the area then turned and from a one-on-one with Burgess struck the ball inside the far post.

In State 1 Mornington made it backto-back wins with Friday night’s 3-1

home success over Bentleigh United Cobras.

A first half double from star striker Rory Currie gave the Seagulls a 2-1 half-time lead and Mehdi Sarwari struck home the third goal after a couple of blocked attempts inside the area in the 74th minute.

In State 2 Skye United scored its first win of the season with a 1-0 away result against Brandon Park.

Skye keeper Jonathan Crook made a series of fine saves in the first half while defenders Alex Van Heerwarden and Brett Heskins also contributed to the clean sheet.

Skye had a mountain to climb when striker Leo McLeod was sent off in the 69th minute but against the run of play Mark O’Connor’s cross in the 87th minute was headed home by Heskins for the winner.

Peninsula Strikers went down 3-1 to Mazenod at Centenary Park on Saturday.

The visitors struck seconds into the contest after Ahmad Tabbara turned the ball over and Jamie Mammino thumped it home.

A Calvin Delaney error in the 7th minute saw Mazenod increase its lead as Jeremy Alleaume broke through and made no mistake from a one-on-one with Strikers keeper Ben

Caballero.

Strikers spurned a series of chances – including a contentious first-half handball after Campbell Steedman had scored – but eventually broke through in the 61st minute with a superb Riley Anderton header from a pinpoint free-kick from Huss Chehimi.

But a Delaney own goal shortly after restored the visitors’ two-goal cushion.

Frankston Pines lost for the first time this season going down 2-0 away to Hampton East Brighton last weekend.

Pines gaffer Trevor Johnston gave a blunt assessment of his team’s display.

“We were really poor and didn’t deserve anything out of it,” he said.

In State 4 Somerville Eagles continued their fine start to the season with a 3-0 home win over Noble Park on Saturday.

Marcus Anastasiou opened the scoring early getting on the end of Ronnie Krishnan’s low cross from the right.

Tom Simmons’ brilliant strike in the 36th minute made it 2-0.

Somerville continued to create chances after the interval and was rewarded in the 85th minute when Tom

Simmons beat the offside trap and squared the ball to substitute Xavier Apela to tap into an open net.

It was Apela’s first senior goal and he had a day to remember scoring a hat-trick in the 8-1 reserves’ victory.

Chelsea had to settle for a point when it drew 1-1 at home to Lyndale United on Friday night.

Both goals came in the first half with Tim Koulouris putting Chelsea ahead in the 28th minute with a back post header from Adrian Pace’s corner.

The leveller came when Lyndale winger Anthony Zagami cut in and unleashed a shot that dipped and beat Chelsea keeper Tom Carter.

Lyndale’s Jaime Cerqueira was sent off for abusive language in the 64th minute but neither side could break the deadlock.

Baxter started the season with high hopes but after three games it remains winless and on Friday went down 5-0 away to White Star Dandenong.

In State 5 Rosebud stayed on top of the ladder thanks to a 3-0 win over Casey Panthers at Olympic Park on Saturday evening.

It’s a remarkable turnaround in the club’s fortunes given that it only won two games throughout last season.

Noah Musso’s hat-trick under-

pinned Saturday’s success and a fiery second half saw Rosebud’s Joe Donnelly and Casey Panthers’ captain Backtash Barakzoi both sent off.

Aspendale had a resounding 7-2 home win over Pakenham United last weekend while Mount Eliza lost 5-3 at home to Bunyip District.

Aspendale’s scorers were Gianluca Bozzo 2, Dom Paul 2, Kieran Hughes, Matthew Leggett and substitute Jarren Kilmartin.

Mount Eliza coach Bryce Ruthven was disappointed with the manner in which his side went 3-0 down in the first 19 minutes as well as the approach of the opposition.

“We cost ourselves the game conceding two average goals and giving away a penalty that was arguably one of the cleanest tackles I’ve seen in State 5 this season and was never a penalty,” Ruthven said.

“I thought our second half was excellent and showed what we’re about as a team but it's a learning curve for our young squad about how to manage State League football against sides that aren't interested in playing football.

“We have two new signings coming in this week and another after Easter so our squad will strengthen again before our next game after the bye and add quality State League experience to our side.”

Next weekend only NPL competitions will play league fixtures while State League clubs have a break over Easter.

However Mornington will contest its Australia Cup fourth preliminary round away tie against FC Clifton Hill on Saturday while Pines and Skye contest their respective ties on Wednesday this week.
