Ross River virus alert Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au

Love is in the aisles BOOK lovers can celebrate Valentine’s Day by enjoying a blind date with a book at Frankston libraries this year. As part of the Australia wide ‘Library Lovers’ Day’, Frankston libraries will be tempting readers with a chocolate and a secret book to celebrate the love of reading. A selection of favourite titles will be gift wrapped for Valentine’s Day on 14 February, with only the genre revealed. Visitors are invited to take a book home and discover the joy of reading a tale of the unexpected. Library Lovers’ Day aims to raise the profile of libraries as an important provider of quality information services that support lifelong learning, and a social space to meet, collaborate, research and learn. See library.frankston.vic.gov.au or call 9784 1020 for more details.

CASES of Ross River virus have been confirmed in Frankston and Casey, prompting health offers to warn residents to protect themselves against mosquito bites. Victoria’s chief health officer Professor Charles Guest said the virus had affected six residents and been detected in mosquitoes trapped nearby. In a worrying sign, the virus appears to have made its own way to Frankston. “None of the people diagnosed with Ross River virus have travelled to areas where mosquitoes carrying the virus are usually found,” Professor Guest said. Symptoms for Ross River virus include fever, headache, aching muscles and joints as well as fatigue. Many infected people also develop a rash. People experiencing symptoms should see their GP or local hospital, he said. The onset of symptoms may be two-14 days following a mosquito bite. Frankston Council is trying to identify areas that may be the source of the Ross River virus. “Our Environmental Health Officers will inspect these areas and provide education regarding the management of mosquitoes,” mayor Cr Brian Cunial said. Cr Cunial said council is working with the Department of Health and Human Services and also Melbourne Water which manages the Seaford-Edithvale Wetlands. The mayor said council had not been provided with specifics to combat the virus. “Council’s environmental health unit will investigate all requests from residents regarding possible breeding sites of mosquitoes on both public and private property,” Cr Cunial said. Professor Guest said recent heavy rain and warm weather had created conditions ideal for mosquitoes to breed.

“We have seen a significant increase in mosquito numbers as a result,” he said. “Taking measures to avoid bites is a critical step to protect yourself and your family against mosquito-borne diseases.” DHHS spokesman Bram Alexander said local people affected lived in metropolitan Frankston. Peninsula Health’s head of infectious diseases Dr Peter Kelley said because it takes time for the symptoms of the virus to show, the actual mosquito bites could be long gone. “If you notice any of the symptoms of Ross River virus, it’s important to visit your GP to be assessed as soon as possible,” Dr Kelley said. “But, as with any mosquito-borne illness, the best protection from this disease is to avoid getting bitten.” Professor Guest said forecast weather conditions over the next few weeks could provide extended ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes. “Mosquitoes are at their most active at dawn and dusk, although some species can be present and bite throughout the day,” he said. Insect screens should be fitted to doors and windows and residents are encouraged to wear long, light coloured loose-fitting clothing, and use an insect repellent containing picaridin or DEET as an active ingredient on exposed skin areas. Stagnant water around the home or campsite is the ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes – such as in old tyres, fish ponds, water tanks and pot plant holders. “As mosquitoes can hatch quickly, water containers around the home should be emptied at least once a week,” Professor Guest said. Information on mosquito-borne illnesses is available at the Department of Health and Human Services’ website and via Frankston Council’s website and Facebook page. Anyone infected by the Ross River virus should visit their doctor.

Marathon meetings are a temper trap Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au

Full steam ahead: Envision Employment Service participants in the newly refurbished Tom the train. Picture: Gary Sissons

Train-ing for job opportunities MEMBERS of Scouts Victoria have a new way to get around thanks to a joint project between Seaford employment agency Envision Employment and job seekers. A 20-person team of Work for the Dole participants – four of whom have now secured work in the construction industry - helped build the Tom the Tank train over six months by stripping down an old car, restoring the engine, brakes and gearbox and building a train body and four carriages. Tom the Train was donated to Scouts Victoria on Thursday and will be used by the organisation for fundraising and membership drives.

Envision Employment services manager Sean Teer said the supervisor and main controller, Andrew Muir, along with the participants, ensured the attention to detail was of the highest standard. “This will be such a bonus for Scouts Victoria, the train will not only raise valuable funds, but it will also bring such joy and adventure to the children who will be the main beneficiaries,” he said. Mr Muir said the job seekers had gained and refined valuable skills in trade areas such as restoration and painting as well as obtaining practical skills that employers require.

FRANKSTON Council’s monthly public council meetings have become mired in lengthy debates about individual councillors’ notice of motions. Councillors have lodged 37 notices in motions over three scheduled monthly meetings since the new council was elected in November last year. Meetings have been unable to be completed in one sitting twice - in December and January - meaning councillors returned to the council chamber to continue the debate later the same week. January’s marathon meeting, held over two evenings, ran for about seven hours. At one point late in the second evening’s proceedings mayor Cr Brian Cunial, the meeting chair, temporarily adjourned the meeting to give councillors “a five-minute break” as tempers began to fray so he could talk to them behind closed doors before resuming the meeting. Cr Kris Bolam objected immediately before the meeting break when Cr Sandra Mayer indicated she would leave the meeting and “go home” if a proposal to thank lifesavers for their voluntary efforts, eventually agreed upon, was not backed by councillors. The debate to thank lifesavers came after a majority of councillors

rejected a notice of motion proposing council ask the state government to pay lifesavers for patrolling beaches during the summer months. Notice of motion subjects have included a proposal to host a civic reception for firefighters - voted down in favour of sending a letter of appreciation with a council seal instead - and a suggestion to teach the history of Frankston in local primary schools. Council will write to the Victorian Department of Education about adding local history to schools’ curriculum. A notice of motion at January’s meeting by Cr Bolam to have council’s internal ombudsman investigate whether all successful notice of motions by councillors during the past eight years had been actioned and completed was voted down 4-5 by councillors on the basis it would cost about $20,000 worth of council officers’ time and would involve analysing about 1300 notices of motion. Crs Bolam, Glenn Aitken, Quinn McCormack and Lillian O’Connor backed an audit of NOMs. Crs Cunial, Colin Hampton, Mayer, Michael O’Reilly and Steve Toms opposed the investigation. Councillors will now be advised of the progress of council resolutions resulting from notices of motion under a new system agreed by councillors late last year.

There will be 45 stallholders, all undercover, selling a vast range of antiques and collectables including china,

glass, pottery, jewellery, books, dolls, bric a brac and more. The second annual Life-Gate antiques fair will be held at the Monash University Activity and Recreation Centre on Saturday 25 February, 9am-3.30pm. Entry $5 per adult, children free. Proceeds will go to Life-Gate, which operates street outreach services, counselling and art therapy programs for at-risk youth. See life-gate.org or call 03 9770 0595 for further details.

BYSTANDERS scattered during what police call a “hot arrest” in front of a busy Frankston serviced apartment complex at about 3pm last Sunday (5 February). Detectives tackled a man, 28, to the ground as he supposedly kept watch beside pillars in the forecourt of the multi-level Nepean Highway building and handcuffed him. Racing upstairs they raided an apartment and arrested the man’s two alleged accomplices – and man and a woman, both aged 34. The couple were allegedly in possession of 118 stolen drivers’ licences, credit cards, health care and other identity cards, as well as an imitation Beretta handgun. Detectives will allege the cards and licences were being used to produce fake identities in an elaborate fraud operation with links to possibly dozens of thefts over the past eight months. The first arrest warrant in relation to members of the group’s alleged fraudulent activities was issued in June last year. One of the accused was wanted on six warrants. Detective Senior Constable Paul Roberts, of the Embona taskforce, said the elaborate identity theft

operation began to unravel when Frankston police night shift Acting Sergeant Matt Pearce, doing a routine CBD patrol, spotted a stolen Ford sedan emerging from the building’s car park, early Saturday 4 February. It was red flagged as having been stolen during an aggravated burglary in Lilydale two days earlier. But, before other police units could arrive on the scene, the car sped out of Frankston. Detectives studied CCTV footage of the building’s car park and identified the occupants before finding the hotel room had been booked in real names. A clandestine search found the imitation pistol which police removed before the next day’s raid. Later, the Ford was found torched in Mulgrave, with the occupants possibly buying another car for cash in the eastern suburbs and driving it back to their apartment to plan their next move. Detective Roberts said the stolen cards were being used to set up bogus online accounts with banks. Minimum credit lines would then be accessed and money taken from victims’ accounts. He said it was unclear at this stage how much money had been stolen in this way.

We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

ANGLICARE Victoria, in partnership with OzChild are searching for dedicated foster carers to help kids step onto positive new tracks as part of Treatment Foster Care Oregon (TFCO). TFCO is a new evidence-based, internationally successful program providing an alternative to residential care and getting kids with problem behaviours back to a stable, family life. The program runs over six to nine months and is delivered by a team of specialists who support the foster carer and the young person with practical behaviour based interventions which are designed to enable longer term stability for the young person. Anglicare Victoria CEO Paul McDonald said: “This is a revolutionary program, we expect that 75 per cent of the children and young people who complete the program

will either be reunited with their birth family, if safe to do so, or reach their full potential with a loving kin, or foster care family”. TFCO will be launched in Melbourne’s Southern region in April 2017. OzChild will support children aged 7-11 and Anglicare Victoria will support young people aged 12-17. TFCO carers will receive continuous support from a team of six professionals and financial reimbursements. Currently the program is seeking to recruit carers who reside in the Dandenong, Frankston, Pakenham, Cranbourne and Mornington Peninsula areas. To find out more about this pioneering foster care program phone 0450 605 247 or see tfco.org.au TFCO is a joint initiative between Anglicare Victoria and OzChild supported by the state government.

A PENINSULA Link motorist booked for speeding has used his car’s dash cam and satellite pictures to measure the distance between two points to calculate his actual speed – more than 10kph below that stated on his fine. The calculation will add fuel to the fire of discontent over the dozens of contentious fines meted out to freeway drivers, many of who have joined the Peninsula Link 108 group which is planning a class action. Allan Tadich, of Kilsyth, said he received an infringement notice for doing 112kph as he passed the Loders Rd static camera on 22 December. “This seemed incorrect as I had my car’s cruise control set at 100kph,” he said. “Fortunately, I had the dash-cam on and was able to review the footage later.” Determined to prove the camera wrong, Mr Tadich used his dash cam and Google Earth to identify two easily recognisable points and cross referenced them. He then calculated the elapsed time taken to drive between the two points to within 0.5 of a metre. Using the formula speed equals distance divided by time he was able to calculate his actual speed at 101.5kph plus-or-minus 0.5kph. “I have used this as the basis of my appeal and am calling for an internal review. Late Friday, Mr Tadich received some good news: The officer in charge of the traffic control branch had agreed to suspend his infringement pending “further investigation”.

Mr Tadich said to be clocked supposedly at 112kph meant he could have been driving as fast as 115kph, using the plus-or-minus 3kph built into the cameras. He says this is ridiculous. “I have a high level of confidence that they are clearly wrong,” he said. “The static camera at Loders Rd has not been tested for 11 months and so, surely, is due for recalibration.” Cameras usually are tested every 12 months, meaning this camera is due for testing this month. He said a speed of 115kph would have been picked up by the point-to-point cameras, which calculate a car’s average speed over a certain distance. Road Safety Camera Commissioner John Voyage said the Peninsula Link investigation “is indeed continuing”. “We have analysed a substantial amount of data, but there is still more to go through,” he said. “We have received 96 complaints at this office, plus 12 that were received before the [Police] Minister [Lisa Neville] requested the investigation. “We are most certainly carefully looking for where a problem could be. “This involves carefully scrutinising every aspect of the road safety camera system along the Peninsula Link freeway.”

Crisis

Startups boost A BUSINESS that helps startup businesses is leading a push to see Frankston become a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship across the Mornington Peninsula. Frankston Foundry, a co-working space and startup incubator for entrepreneurs and technical professionals, will receive $154,500 in state government funding to help build networks between regional entrepreneurs and Melbourne’s startup community. The company opened last year after owners Cam Rambert and James Bertschik, both 28, recognised the need to encourage innovation and help young professionals build networks. The Foundry has now appointed dedicated community managers and has put together a program of events, including an annual hackathon, in a bid to foster innovation. The funding is part of a $4.9 million boost to Victoria’s booming startup sector. Small Business, Innovation and Trade Minister Philip Dalidakis and LaunchVic chair Ahmed Fahour with CEO Kate Cornick announced seven projects will each receive up to $1 million as part of the Round two funding from LaunchVic – a $60 million startup initiative. Projects funded through LaunchVic aim to act as a catalyst for innovation, helping to stimulate new business growth and create jobs through mentoring, training and improving access to venture capital networks. Frankston Labor MP Paul Edbrooke said investment in young businesses supported future local job creation and strengthened Frankston’s growing reputation as a regional tech hub.

Ablaze again: Firefighters were on Sunday called to a fire at the Somerville Recreation and Community Centre which was destroyed, above, less than a year ago. Picture: Gary Sissons

Second fire at sports centre FIRE crews fought a “small” blaze at the Somerville Recreation and Community Centre on Sunday 5 February. Detectives from the Somerville CIU are investigating the blaze which started in the kitchen and office area of the Edward St premises about 4.55pm. Incident controller Jason Fevola said two officers used breathing apparatus to enter the building. He said office materials may have been used to light the fire which was restricted to benchtops. The recreation centre and basketball stadium is being rebuilt after being destroyed by fire in May 2016. A 14-year-old Somerville girl was charged with lighting the fire which destroyed the Somerville Community & Recreation Centre, causing damage estimated at $1.5-$2 million. It was claimed the girl was one of four friends in a teen hangout under the stadium called “The Shack”

when they lit a small fire to keep warm. Somerville CFA was supported at this latest blaze by Baxter, Langwarrin, Tyabb and Hastings crews.

Cars, bike stolen A JEEP Cherokee, Audi sedan and a Ducati motorcycle were stolen from a Mt Martha house during a series of break-ins overnight Saturday 4 February. Thieves broke into the Cornwall Crescent house and stole keys to the vehicles before driving off. Another car, of unknown make, was stolen from Somerset Drive. Detective Senior Sergeant Allan Paxton said up to 10 cars were broken into during the raids in Sherwood Crescent and Somerset Drive, from 11pm Saturday to 6am Sunday. At this stage it is not known what items were stolen.

WITHOUT an urgent injection of funds the Western Port Biosphere could collapse within two months. Dire financial circumstances being faced by the biosphere were outlined last week at an extraordinary general meeting which gave the board of directors the power to wind up the “company” if money is not found by the end of this month, February. With only four of the five “partner” municipalities contributing towards its annual income the biosphere has been forced to use its cash reserves to make up the shortfall. Executive officer Cecelia Witton told the Tuesday 31 January meeting that the biosphere looked like being “insolvent sometime in April”. “Depending on the outcome of current negotiations, and with confirmed commitments for $7000 and a possible additional $5000, this would still leave $8000 short ... for the remainder of the year,” Ms Witton said. Since its inception 12 years ago, annual grants have been made to the biosphere by Mornington Peninsula Shire, Bass Coast, Cardinia and Casey, but the withdrawal of funding by Frankston Council has left it $20,000 a year short for several years. The Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve (operating as Western Port Biosphere) is run from an office in Salmon St, Hastings, and its latest annual report shows $31,500 in “occupancy expenses” and $86,000 “employee benefits” among its $600,000 yearly running costs. Chair of the biosphere board Duncan Malcolm, in the October 2016 annual report,

for Biosphere hoped Frankston’s withdrawal of financial support temporary and thanked the four remaining municipalities for “honouring … their initial pledge”. Mr Malcolm’s concerns about finances were echoed in the same report by Ms Witton who saw strengthening the biosphere’s financial position as its most pressing challenge. “Your directors and staff are working hard to get additional support in this area, without success in this endeavour, our future is not assured,” Ms Witton said. Three months later finances are worse and the board now has permission to “start the voluntarily wind up of the company if the board decides that such action becomes necessary”. In a message emailed to members and posted on the biosphere’s website after last week’s meeting, Ms Witton said there had “seemed to be some confusion during the meeting, about the purpose of the meeting and of the vote” (which gave the wind up powers to the board). “Rest assured that we are doing everything in our power to find the extra funds required and to put in place long term agreements with the councils and others in order to provide surety for the future of the biosphere and we are confident of doing so,” Ms Witton stated. “Given the position of the Biosphere the board wished to call this meeting to make the members aware of our position and to ask the members to empower them to make any tough decisions that need to be made and to let the members know of the process moving forward.” Ms Witton said the board was “working on gaining the required funding from numerous sources” as well as seeking a “multi-year” memorandum of understanding with the councils “and new councillors”. The 2142 square-kilometre Mornington Pen-

insula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve - one of 14 in Australia – includes five local government areas and French Island. Listed under the UNESCO’s man and the biosphere program, it includes national and marine parks, rural agriculture and urbangrowth areas. Western Port is also listed under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International significance. Biospheres are described as being “sites of excellence that seek to reconcile conservation of biological and cultural diversity and economic and social development through partnerships between people and nature”. Although they have no statutory powers biospheres are seen as being “ideal learning sites to test and demonstrate innovative approaches to sustainable development and conservation on a regional scale”. The Westerrn Port Biosphere says it “works with the community to create a better future for the Western Port Biosphere Reserve—environmentally, socially and economically. We do this through research, education, community engagement, partnerships and on-ground conservation efforts”. Projects it has undertaken include Growing connections (habitat corridors); Water stewardship; Protecting Ramsar values; Watson Creek, Somerville; and the Southern brown bandicoot recovery program.

Fire up the generators for our own cheap energy The extraction of hydrogen from brown coal may prove to be not economically, technically or environmentally feasible (“Ship on way for hydrogen exports”, The Times 6/2/17). We were, a few decades ago, going to make diesel fuel out of the stuff, but that was a flop. There are immense problems which may not be solved in the processing, transportation, storage, delivery and the waste by-product. If anything, we should be sending bulk brown coal to Japan, not Hastings. Let the Japanese worry about the pollution and emissions mess. We have centuries’ worth of energy in the Latrobe valley in the form of brown coal. It is immense. It is ours. It is completely free. The power generators were built to provide simple, cheap, reliable electricity for industry and the people of Victoria. We must revitalise the turbines and generators and even add more. All of the electricity distribution network and mining facilities are still there. It seems insane to be building hundreds of giant steel windmills sitting on giant concrete foundation slabs at a cost of a few million dollars each, when we already have unlimited power available. Carbon emissions? Probably worth it [when] compared to the alternatives. Maybe the sun is cyclically processing more hydrogen than usual, making the earth warmer and causing more carbon in our atmosphere. Maybe the “warming” is not because of human induced carbon. We have always had climate change, from much colder to much hotter, over the last few millenniums. There are some mad theories around, climatic and economic. Remember the giant $19 billion desalination plant built because of the prevailing climate theory which was perpetual drought? The theory was invalid. We are still paying

double our water costs and $1.8 million a day to clever overseas investors for this never-used plant. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Control the climate Readers will remember the TV series Star Trek and the catchy phrase “Beam me up Scottie” as the character, with the request to his watch band microphone, was transported back to his spaceship. What a wonderful invention. Scientists, engineers and medical experts, to name a few, have been able to provide us with some remarkable inventions. Unfortunately, it is unlikely they can invent a spray to restore neglected coal mines, areas of destroyed forest, bulldozed vegetation and polluted oceans. Offshore companies are exploiting our oil and gas reserves and pay no tax, yet the prices for these products are generally higher here than in Europe. Coal and gas are burnt to produce most of the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere, while the destruction of our natural resources continues. The spin on clean coal (no CO2 emissions) may eventually come true, as will “Beam me up Scottie”, but will it be too late to save the inevitable spiral of greater air temperatures, hotter and more numerous bush fires, more frequent storms, increased flooding and the destruction of food crops. Australia needs climate controls now, not in the future. Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Possums continue to destroy our fruit trees, gardens and trees in general and their droppings putrefy pathways and the ever present unAustralian love call of the Pakistani pigeons is a persistent irritant, not mention their in-flight droppings and attack on native habitats. Surely limited culling of these species is overdue and limited culling of possums is practiced successfully in other parts of Australia. One hopes the government will heed our frustrated plea.

No fear, MPs in charge With the focus heavily on [US President] Donald Trump’s doings and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s in and out inertia, we have temporarily set state politics to one side.

Last week certain sections of the media celebrated the PM’s new found personality change (of course) but other than one commentator’s piece on suggesting a replacement PM it was all attack, with Danny Andrews again copping it from all angles. Underage kids running amok, disregard for the law, urged on by shadow premier Matthew Guy. Danny’s onto a proposal for a more heavyhanded approach to the youth justice system; admittedly overdue. The problem has been here the past seven years and it’s time to spend a large chunk of the surplus upgrading security. Maybe consider upgrading the peninsula bus service, with a travel time span Frankston to Rye today equal to that same time span in the 1940s. Worry not. We have [federal Flinders MP, Liberal] Greg Hunt and [state Nepean MP, also Liberal]Martin Dixon looking after our interests. Cliff Ellen, Rye

NEWS DESK Police patrol Trio on drugs charges FRANKSTON detectives are confident they have put a dent in a large scale drug trafficking ring after three people were arrested last week. Detective Acting Sergeant Kerryn Merrett said two woman aged 26 and 27, and a man, 27, were charged with trafficking a quantity of methyl-amphetamine (ice) and the drug ecstasy and dealing with the proceeds of crime, Friday 3 February.

The younger woman has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court; the man has been bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court and the older woman to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, all at later dates. Detective Merrett said the trio had “significant links to the Frankston area”. She said the arrests in the ongoing operation would “severely disrupt drug trafficking” in the city.

Striking Pirates fly the flag for women THIS year is proving to be a great one for the recognition of women in sport, and Mornington Pirates Baseball Club is hoping to get in on the action. With the winter baseball season starting in April, Mornington Pirates Baseball Club is moving with the times and hopes to enter a team into the Dandenong Baseball Association’s women's competition for the first time in its 42-year history. The club already has several female players who play with the men’s teams, but needs to recruit more to make up an all-girls’ team. Club vice-president Myles Dowsett said the closure of women’s teams at several peninsula clubs in recent years meant women wanting to play at a competitive level had to travel to Berwick, Frankston, and Essendon or into the city. He said the formation of a women’s team playing under the Mornington Pirates banner would provide an opportunity for girls and women living on the peninsula. “Girls are seeing the rise in popularity and recognition of women’s sports and so it’s a great time to field a women’s baseball team for the peninsula.” Mr Dowsett said the club needed nine players to make a team, but hoped to recruit about 12 women across all skill levels and ages. “You don’t have to have a baseball background or even have a background in team sport, and we have training and coaching sessions,” he said. “Baseball is one of those games that people can come into it without any specific skill, and you can definitely learn a lot as you play.” The winter baseball season runs April to August, with finals in September. Training starts early March. The women's team will be playing in a competition within the Dandenong Baseball Association on Sundays. Details: Myles Dowsett 0408 536474. Liz Bell

Pier Bandroom launches FAMOUS for its revolving dance floor, and status as host to some of the biggest bands of the 70’s and 80’s, the once iconic 21st Century Nightclub in Frankston is being relaunched as the Pier Bandroom. From the team that successfully resurrected The Croxton Bandroom, the newly renovated Pier Bandroom will breathe considerable life back into the south side’s live music scene. Two epic events will take place on Saturday 18 March to celebrate the relaunch of the venue. Running from 2pm-9pm, the Pier Bandroom Street Party will take over Davey Street between the Pier and Davey’s Hotels. This outdoor pop up festival will be headlined by Birds Of Tokyo, with supports including Pierce Brothers, Ecca Vandal, Ali Barter and The Gooch Palms, and beats provided by Red Bull DJs. Once the sun goes down, the action moves inside to the Pier Bandroom itself. The Official Bandroom Launch will feature an epic headline set by COG, shaking downtown Frankston with their trademark

monolithic prog metal anthems. Supports to be announced. Punters can pay $40 a ticket for either event, or pay $60 for a combined ticket to both shows. Following the launch, The Living End bring their ‘Staring Down the Highway’ tour to the Pier Bandroom on Saturday 1 April. With these massive shows, and a slate of live gigs soon to be announced, Pier Bandroom is set to become a beacon for music lovers in Melbourne’s outer suburbs. For the biggest bands of the 70s and 80s a show at the legendary 21st Century Nightclub in Frankston was an essential inclusion on any tour itinerary. Massive acts like Sherbert and Skyhooks, through to bands like Cold Chisel and Midnight Oil in the 80’s paid homage to the suburban masses in this infamous shrine to excess, housing what was claimed to be the largest revolving dance floor in the Southern Hemisphere. Tickets via Oztix or pierbandroom.com.au

Esso smokes to cut gas impacts Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au BLACK smoke belching from oilcompany Esso’s Long Island smoke stacks was part of “scheduled maintenance works on the main process units”, a company spokesman said last week. Communications advisor Travis Parnaby said the works – to run 28 January to 22 February – “had [been] carefully planned to minimise impacts on our local community and the environment”. “However, there will be a necessary increase in flaring throughout the course of these important works.” The smoke was noticeable on a day of total fire ban. Readers contacted The Times to complain that the unwelcome airborne haze – part of the flaring process – was a “disgrace”. “I love the Mornington Peninsula for its natural beauty and diversity, but must admit that I’ve been shocked by the degree of pollution from the flaring stacks at Long Island Point,” Leslie Carter, of Hastings, said. “How are these emissions tolerated?” He had also sent an incident report to the EPA. Another resident, who asked not to be named, said: “I was stopped in my tracks by a large angry plume of black smoke on what was a total fire ban day”. “It was in the direction of my home and staining right across the sky and visible from as far away as Frankston

and even Dandenong. “I drove towards home to find it was Esso once again billowing tarry black oily smoke into the air. “Surely in this day and age an afterburner or filter of some kind could clean up this embarrassment on Hastings township.” Despite obvious black smoke, Mr Parnaby said the use of the flare “minimises environmental impacts by safely

burning excess gas, ensuring it does not escape into the atmosphere”. That raised eyebrows with the residents: “They have been belching out a steady stream of black smoke, day and night, for weeks now which, in the present weather conditions, can only be concerning for anyone at risk of respiratory disease, or generally alert to the dangers of airborne carcinogens,” Mr Carter said.

“The fact that this plume of acrid smoke also drifts over an acknowledged Ramsar site of special scientific importance should also be a point of shame for those responsible. “I did a little research online and found out that even in Nigeria – considered to be a Third World nation – the government has pledged to phase out wasteful and polluting flare-burning practises as soon as possible.

“We should expect better of a country with the international status and unique beauty of Australia.” Esso’s Mr Parnaby said the work was a “key part of our scheduled maintenance program which helps Esso prevent unplanned incidents or disruptions to the plant’s operations”. He said Esso had “engaged” with Mornington Peninsula Shire, EPA and CFA about the maintenance works.

I am delighted to introduce one of our newest staff members – Hailey Paynter – who commenced this year in a teaching position at Insight with our primary and secondary students who are blind and vision impaired. Hailey, while new to Insight, brings a wealth of teaching experience with her both in the mainstream educational sector and in the very specialised area in which Insight is involved. Hailey holds a post-graduate degree from the University of Newcastle as a Masters of Special Education - Specialising in Blind & Vision Impairment. Her experience teaching students who are blind or vision impaired has crossed continents – from here in Australia - Wagga Wagga and rural NSW, a Vision Camp in Canberra, South Australia School for Vision Impaired - to the United States and the prestigious Texas School for the Blind & Visually Impaired. It is Australia’s gain that she has returned here to be part of our wonderful school in Berwick. Hailey also has an impressive history of volunteer work as a Lifesaver, a Counsellor for Disadvantaged Children, a Volunteer Teacher, and Head of Fundraising Campaign for Able Australia’s Kilimanjaro Climb Campaign – ‘Hike to Help’ which raised awareness of the work of the non-profit organisation Able Australia. Hailey is an amazing ambassador for people living with disabilities and particularly the blind and vision impaired. Hailey herself has a rare eye condition which means she must deal with a significant visual impairment and an uncertain future. This did not stop her from tackling the world’s largest free standing mountain - Mount Kilimanjaro (also referred to as ‘the roof of Africa’). The amazing 20,000 foot climb in 2014 took a gruelling 8 days with a guide. For this breathtaking climb Hailey chose the second hardest route despite the risks of hypothermia and severe altitude sickness. Her determination took her right to the top. We are all very proud of Hailey’s many achievements and feel privileged to have her as part of the team at Insight. The level of staff expertise at the school makes Insight a positive choice for children who so often struggle to keep up with their sighted peers in mainstream schools, many of which do not have the specialised technology and other resources they require. Now, and into the future, the team at Insight is committed to ensuring that our intensive and targeted intervention across all levels of learning empowers our students to find their places in the world with confidence and purpose. Contact me directly at the school if you wish to make an enrolment enquiry or to learn more about the great work happening here in Berwick. Free call: 1800 ISIGHT

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Calls for eligible man to go to the Front Compiled by Cameron McCullough OUR Letter Box. Sir,–Dearie me! What a hornets nest one disturbs if any attempt is made to point out defects in local organizations. While sorry to have awakened so much malice in the breasts of some of the female population. I am unable to see the urgent need for an apology so kindly advised by D. Gregory, who accuses me of wicked spite in exposing a most grotesque anomaly. Reading over my previous letter I fail to find any reason for her vindictive attitude. Your readers are the best judges as to which of us deserves to be termed spiteful. Did I unwittingly touch on a sore topic? Or is Cupid in any way involved? Surely not! And yet why is she so angry? Imagine a young lady who is so proud of her position as a committee member of a Patriotic (?) Club, that she needs must add the fact to her signature, attempting to gloss over the fact that that same committee shelters an eligible person. She says “he was rejected for medical reasons.” So I have heard. Some slight deformity of the toes, was it not? He has my sincere sympathy. However, as the need of men at the front is so very urgent just now, perhaps if he should try again he may be more fortunate. D. Gregory also accuses me of “’entire lack of the sense of sportsmanship.” What is that sense? Who are the sportsmen today? They who have been and are daily risking life and limb in

honor’s cause, or they who stay at home and “enjoy the music without paying the piper ?” Has D Gregory no dear one enduring, and risking all for her loved sake? Is there not some one who will think of her should he lie battered and broken awaiting a hero’s end? If so, how can she resent so bitterly a letter written in purest sympathy with him and with other heroes. But if she has no one who is willing to fight, and, maybe, die for her protection, she is indeed to be pitied and her letter easily understandable. The person signing “Sympathetic” would be wise to explain the nom de plume. Is the sympathy for the gallant lads, suffering unheard of privations and risking untold dangers, or for the person who stays snugly at home cultivating his vegetable garden and in his leisure hours entertaining soldiers? The writer takes exception to the fact that after only a few months’ residence I “dare to criticize” etc, and advises me to mind my own business. But is not the Empire’s business everyone’s, or at least everyone who loves our country and honors the men who fight for our protection. Ye shades of Gordon ! It is enough to make our first Australian poet turn in his grave to have his lines quoted in such a letter. May I slightly paraphrase and add the concluding couplet to “Sympathetic’s” advice to Club members. She says “Ride for yourselves and ride to win, and you can’t very well go wrong.” I say “Gad ! If the “Anzacs” had stuck to that you’d be singing a

different song.” The meaning of “Fair Play’s” letter is too enigmatic for me and as the writer is in retrospective mood possibly her excursions into the misty past are too far for me, with my short residence, to follow. One statement, however, I understand “he has attempted on several occasions”. Has he really? How sad! Would “Fair Play give particulars as to those “several occasions.” The publishing of such details would help matters materially. Having taken “Fair Play’s” advice to the extent of prosecuting inquiries locally, I find that the person in question was finally accepted as a conscript, and applying, was granted two month’s exemption. The period of grace has expired and if he has not the stamina to go to the front, he should at least vacate a leading position on a body labelling itself Patriotic. If he retains the position the label is untrue and the fact an insult to every Frankston soldier, past and present.– Yours, AI.F. *** MISS Mayer, an Australian Pole, who resided for a long time in Germany, gave an interesting account of “Her Personal Recollections of the German Kaiser and the Germans,” and “What would he the condition of Australia under German rule,” in the Mechanics’ Hall.

Somerville the same morning by Consts Ryan and Donemaide for disorderly conduct appeared before Capt. Sherlock J.P. Const. Ryan charged the prisoner Ward with being drunk on the premises of a licensed victualler, to wit the Somerville Wine Cafe. Ward pleaded guilty. Const. Ryan deposed that in consequence of complaints received at Frankston, he and Const. Donemaide proceeded to Somerville, and on arrival found Ward lying in a drunken state in the stable of the Wine shop. He was placed under arrest, taken outside, and confronted with Mrs Corcoran who accused him of taking beer to her house and giving it to her husband, against whom a prohibition order is in force. The police proposed to take further action against Ward for the latter offence. The magistrate severely lectured defendant for his conduct and on the drunkeness charge fined him 5s or 12 hours imprisonment. The fine was paid. Percival James Corcoran was charged with behaving in a threatening manner near a public place, to wit, the Frankston Road at Somerville on 10th February. Prisoner pleaded not guilty but afterwards amended his plea. Const. Ryan informed the Court that a prohibition order was taken out against Corcoran by his wife, owing to his drunken habits. This order is still in force. For three days prior to his arrest he had been drinking heavily. When drunk he was like a madman. The police received word that Corcoran had gone to his neighbours and said

“goodbye” as he was going to “finish the lot”. He gave people to understand that he was going to take the lives of his family and himself. When the police arrived they found that Mrs Corcoran and her family had had to leave the house the previous night and were still out of the place when they arrived at 11am. Witness entered the house by the kitchen door which was open. He saw prisoner leaning over the table on hich was lying a long carving knife. Witness seized the knife and threw it out of the way. Corcoran was in a drunken state and appeared to be bordering on delirium tremens. He had no boots or coat on and defied witness to arrest him. Witness arrested him. There were two empty beer bottles in the house. Corcoran and Ward were brought into Frankston by Const. Dodemaide and had been in the lockup all day. Const. Dodemaide corroborated the previous witness. Corcoran admitted being drunk and asked the magistrate to deal leniently with him, promising to never take another drink. Capt. Sherlock advised Corcoran to give up the drink and stated that he would be lenient as he did not desire to penalise defendant’s family, but if he did not profit by the warning and was brought before the court again he would be severely dealt with. He was fined 10s or 24 hours’ imprisonment. The fine was paid. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 17 February 1917

The race to finals is on PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully THE Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association Provincial season is set for an exciting finish with only five teams now a realistic chance to play finals. Baxter, which sits at the top of the table on 102 points, is the only team assured of a finals berth, regardless of the fact of whether it loses its final two games. Peninsula Old Boys and Langwarrin are locked together on 90 points, a game clear of Mornington (78) and an outright win clear of Mt Eliza (70). The aim of the Old Boys and Kangas now is to lock away a home final.

POB faces Baxter at Baxter and Crib Point at home in the final round one-day game to end its home and away season. There would be no great surprises if they won both of these matches. Langwarrin finishes with two home games, and both are tricky. It tackles Mornington and Sorrento. Its win against Mt Eliza on Saturday certainly placed them in the box seat and it deserves to taste finals action. Mornington has Langwarrin this weekend and its final game is against Moorooduc at home. Mt Eliza can’t afford to lose either of its final two games. It faces Sorrento at David McFarlan Reserve and then finishes with Somerville at home.

So the stage has been set for a thrilling race to the line. Langwarrin made things difficult for Mt Eliza to make it after yet another outstanding day with the ball. The Kangas pressure with the ball and in the field has been a feature of its game this season and given it set the Mounties 240 for victory, it was able to attack from the word go. At one stage the Mounties were 2/0. A short time later it was 6/53. A cameo between Justin Grant (56) and Lyle House (40) halted things for a while before the Mounties were finally bowled out in the 52nd over for 135. Skipper Travis Campbell was superb, snaring 5/24 off 12 overs, while Mal

Coutts finished with 3/18 after having 2/0 at one stage. Mornington was looking for an outright win against Long Island but it failed in its attempt to do so. The Dogs made 7/220 in 60 overs on day one of the match and had the Islanders 3/52 overnight. Long island added just 80 runs before being bowled out for 130. The Dogs then whipped up another 80 runs before sending the Islanders back in with plenty of overs to play. Mornington fell short of the outright by three wickets, Long Island holding on to be 7/166 at stumps. Peninsula Old Boys cruised to victory against Somerville.

Chasing 222 for victory, the Old Boys past it eight wickets down with nine overs to play. Dylan O’Malley opened with 52, Eivion Bowen contributed 33, Will Crowder hit 50 and Jon Forrest was unbeaten on 29 to hand the Old Boys the victory. Nick Marshall was the pick of the Somerville bowlers with 3/36. Pearcedale scored an amazing victory against Sorrento. Defending just 129, the Panthers rolled the Sharks for just 115. Chris Dew was superb, snaring 4/26 from 21 overs, while Shayne Gillings picked up 3/31 from 15. CJ King top scored for the Sharks with 36, while Corey Harris made 36.

Demons keep on fighting DISTRICT

By IT Gully RYE has once again defied the odds and given itself every opportunity of maintaining its place in MPCA District ranks after a wonderful fighting performance against Delacombe Park on Saturday. After the opening rounds of the season, Rye was the laughing stock of the competition. Opposition teams were just rolling up to matches with the expectation of recording an outright victory. However, after a horror start, the Rye has now won a couple of games and remains clear of bottom place and relegation. After the opening day of its match against Delacombe Park, it looked as though it was going to be on the receiving end of another loss. The Parkers were 1/18 overnight in reply to Rye’s first innings total of 133. However, the Parkers lost 8/49 to be bowled out for 111 after 51 overs. Ricky Ramsdale top-scored for the visitors with 32, while Rye skipper Tommy Baron led from the front with 6/34 from 25 overs. Matt Travena was strong with the ball too, taking 3/38 from 15 overs. The win means that Rye (24 points) remains a game clear of Boneo (12), who recorded its first win of the season on Saturday. Boneo and Rye face off in the final game of the season, a one-day match. Rye faces Rosebud at Rosebud in round 10, while Boneo heads to Seaford Tigers. With finals still a reality for Rosebud, there’s too much to play for them but Boneo is not without a show against the Tigers. On Saturday, the Pandas were strong defending their first innings total of 267. It was always going to be a tough ask for the Buds and they failed miserably, rolled for just 131. Billy Quigley tried to fly the flag for the Buds with 72 with little support elsewhere. Leigh Janssen though was the man to turn the game on its head, smashing through the Rosebud batting line-up and finishing with a sensational 8/37 from 28.1 overs, including 14 maidens. Main Ridge rocketed from fifth to

PAGE 32

Frankston Times

second place on the table after accounting for Baden Powell. Defending 328, the Ridge rolled the Braves for 243 in 68.1 overs. Ryan Barnett hit 70 at the top of the order for the Braves, who at one stage were in trouble four own for less than 20. Travis Kellerman with 46 and Bryce Kellerman with 25 added some respectability. Luke Collins took 3/53 from 19 overs for the Ridge while Shaun Foster claimed 2/22 off 5.1. Baden Powell has now dropped to seventh place. Heatherhill moved into third position on the ladder and Mt Martha dropped to fourth after the Hills recorded a strong win. Chasing 168 for victory, the Hills resumed at 1/24 and picked up the winning runs with four wickets and one over in hand. Matt Bishop top scored with 53 and Kristian Miller hit 44. A wonderful 181 by Seaford Tigers skipper David James saw his side record a strong victory against Flinders. Flinders was defending 238, however, James scored three quarters of the runs on his own with the rest of the team contributing 102 (283). The loss ended Flinders’ season. Red Hill never seems to disappoint in the home and away season. The Hillmen were 5/59, chasing Seaford’s first innings total of 105 when play resumed on day two on Saturday. Andrew Mock resumed on 29. Mock ended with 54 and was out with the score on 101, driving his side to victory. Lachy Klauer was at the other end, scoring 23 and going out once his team had recorded the victory. The Hillmen finished on 118, a 13-run win. Chris Cleef finished with 6/51 for Seaford after having 4/25 overnight.

Season wide open as finals beckon SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully THE season and run to the finals in MPCA Sub District cricket is still wide open and well and truly on with just two rounds remaining. As has been the case for the most part this season, Hastings (98 points) and Ballam Park (84 points) are locks for a top two finish. However, the real interest lies in the sub-battle of the next seven sides, all of which are just a game outside the

top three. Tyabb is on 54 points and is currently in third position. Carrum Downs is second bottom, yet, only one game behind the Yabbies on 42 points. The Yabbies and YCW make-up the top four, with Tootgarook and Carrum also sitting on 54 points. The Stonecats limped to the line against Balnarring in a thrilling contest. Chasing 120 for victory, the Stonecats were wobbly early, resuming at

2/15. However, the home side was patient and past the total five wickets down in the 82nd over. Joseph Gotts top-scored for the Stonecats with 36. Tootgarook kept its chances well and truly alive, albeit far from convincing against Tyabb. After bowling out the Yabbies for 51 on the first day and resuming at 8/81 themselves, the Frogs added a further seven runs to their overnight total – it was enough to win. The Yabbies were 5/121 in their second dig.

Carrum is still in the mix too in sixth place after beating Skye. The Lions needed 155 for victory and did it comfortably, getting the runs five wickets down. Josh Dent was superb with 66 while skipper Hayden Moulton opened with 51. Dylan Steed also played a major role in the win with his patient 21. Ballam Park went for the outright win against Carrum Downs but didn’t get there. Defending 245, the Knights rolled the Cougars for just 85 with David

Cross getting 3/30 and Stuart Plunkett snaring 2/20 off 15. Chris Jones top scored for Carrum Down with 17. In the final game, Hastings’ skipper Robbie Hearn scored 127 and Jake Hewitt 72 to guide the visitors to an easy win against Dromana. The Blues were chasing 150 for victory and resumed at 2/68. Night watchman Isuru Dias went three runs later before Hearn and Hewitt then put on 159 for the fourth wicket. The Blues finished at 8/276.

‘Patch’ may power Mornington title tilt SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie MORNINGTON is poised to beat a host of suitors to the prized signature of star striker Ryan Paczkowski. “Patch” is believed to be keen on returning to his first Australian club after sensationally quitting NPL giant Bentleigh Greens last week. His switch from playing as a contracted player and reverting to amateur status means he has to go through an enforced four-week layoff before playing an official game for Mornington, which brought him to Melbourne for the 2014 season. Dallas Brooks Park has been a happy hunting ground for Paczkowski and along with Wayne Gordon, high-profile English import Josh Hine and the returning Simon Mur, Mornington will soon boast the most lethal strike force in State 1 South-East. Add big Gino Defeo and Michael Freeman to the mix and the club has more depth up front than in recent seasons. Paczkowski’s shock exit from Bentleigh Greens alerted NPL and State League clubs to his availability but there was only ever going to be one destination for the classy forward. Brisbane Strikers, Port Melbourne, Bulleen and Dandenong City were rumoured to be in the queue for his signature. It’s understood that work pressures forced Paczkowski’s hand and he was unable to commit to the training regime required at NPL level. He recently received permanent residency and his job as a project manager with Prime Projects was a pivotal part of his successful application. Paczkowski hails from Doncaster in England where his CV boasts stints with Gainsborough Trinity, Harworth Colliery, Frickley Athletic and Brigg Town. At Brigg Town he was a teammate of recent Mornington import Nathan Smith. Paczkowski took State League ranks by storm scoring 21 goals in 2014 when Mornington threw away a second-to-none chance

of winning the championship then bagged 22 goals the following season during Mornington’s title romp before being snapped up by Bentleigh Greens. The step up to NPL never fazed the talented Paczkowski who enjoyed a stellar 2016 season highlighted by a number of man-of-the-match performances and multiple team-of-the-week selections. His injury-time winner broke the deadlock in the 2016 Dockerty Cup final as Bentleigh edged out Green Gully 1-0. Fellow striker Hine is having some hiccups in arranging a visa but is expected to arrive in early March. The news concerning English midfielder Matthew Wade is much more promising and he joins Mornington on Tuesday 21 February. Wade has been signed from Blyth Spartans in England’s Northern Premier League Premier Division and will play in the 2017 FFA Cup before returning to England for a wedding and missing Mornington’s round one league clash on Friday 24 March away to Casey Comets. The shocks kept coming on the weekend when rumours circulated that Sam Scott will not play for Langwarrin again and is keen to join arch rival Mornington. Scott did not turn up for training with Langy last week and although the club is aware of rumours linking him with Mornington it is waiting for Scott to contact it before it comments on the issue. The midfielder from Launceston FC in England is a housemate of Mornington keeper Kris McEvoy and socialises with other Mornington players. It’s believed that Scott is keen to play with his mates in what could be his last season in Australia. Meanwhile Marinos Panayi and Dylan Waugh are officially off Peninsula Strikers’ radar. Panayi is a former Bentleigh Greens youngster who shunned Strikers’ attempts to snare his signature and signed for NPL 2 outfit Eastern Lions.

Star signing: Mornington is closing in on the capture of striker Ryan Paczkowski, pictured here with the 2016 Dockerty Cup.

Tennis teen offered ace opportunity By Ben Triandafillou MOUNT Eliza youngster, Campbell Steedman, secures a once in a lifetime opportunity to join the ballkid’s squad at Roland Garros after earning the title of the “Most Outstanding Ballboy” at this year’s Australian Open. The 15-year-old was one of the top two ballkid’s of 380 at this year’s Australian Open and has earned a trip to Paris in April with the other winner, Summer Leatitagaloa, to take part in the ball kid’s squad at Roland Garros. To achieve the honour of being the most outstanding ballboy or ballgirl you have to demonstrate the highest level of skills and behaviour in your day-to-day duties both on and off the court. Campbell has been a ballboy at the Australian Open for four years and with a lot of hard work was rewarded with opportunities to assist in several breathtaking finals and stand next to some of the all-time greats. “All the hard work and training has rewarded me with being part of the men’s singles, women’s singles and men’s doubles finals squads and a trip to Roland Garros. [I was] a little nervous at times, but you train hard to do the best job, while trying to enjoy it as much as you can.” said Campbell. For Campbell it was the support and friend-

ships that made him come back every year and continue to work hard, as well as being able to be so close to so many fantastic players. “It is nice to receive a gift at the end, but it is more about the friends you make and the opportunity to participate in the Australian Open,” said Campbell. An avid tennis player himself, Campbell plays locally at the Ranelagh Club, Mount Eliza and takes a lot of inspiration from watching some of his idols first hand at the Australian Open. Campbell was fortunate enough to work with the ballkid’s squad in the thrilling 2017 Men’s Australian Open Grand Final where Nadal and Federer battled it out in an intense five-set match. “It was an amazing and inspiring experience,” said Campbell. The Padua College student will be leaving for Paris on the 25th of May for 17 days with his family and some staff from Tennis Australia to assist in the French Open. “I feel very privileged and excited about being given the opportunity to ballkid at the French Open and represent Tennis Australia,” said Campbell. Honoured to be given this opportunity, Campbell can’t wait to leave for Paris and assist in another awe-inspiring, major Grand Slam.

Golf club looks to the future By Ben Triandafillou THE Mount Martha Golf Club is hoping to improve and expand their “friendly club” to cater for their growing membership list and upgrade their clubhouse and facilities. A different entity to the Mount Martha Golf Course, the club is embarking on a new membership drive and future building fundraiser to raise money and enable the club to be eligible for government grants allowing for extensions and improvements to be made to their facilities. With all work done on a volunteer basis, the club is hoping to make a minimum of $5,000 with about 560 of the 700 tickets already sold. The raffle which is valued at $9,400, includes a trip to Europe for two people for eight days on a cruise on the beautiful blue Danube, with tickets selling for $20 each. Founded in 1980 with 190 members, the club has been very successful in competitions and pennants with the Men’s Handicap Pennant side winning the VGL Division Two last year and gaining promotion into Division One for 2017. The club which has been running for over 35 years has come a long way from initially operating out of a tin shed with fairways the club described as a “cows paddock” to now operating out of a rustic modern clubhouse and pro shop with beautifully manicured Santa- Anna couch fairways and pristine

greens. “Even though our clubhouse is serviceable we are at a point where we need to look forward to the future and increase our membership and in doing so increase the size of our clubhouse,” said President Graeme Burton. “We have been in consultation with the Mornington Shire Council and they have provided their architects to look at various options to accommodate our members in the future.”

With stunning views over Port Phillip Bay & surrounds our beautiful new Function & Event Centre offers the perfect venue for your upcoming celebration. We offer cocktail menus, 2&3 course menus and more - all coupled with superb wines and outstanding service. Book in today for your wedding, birthday, conference or presentation night!

The club has developed significantly and so has their membership list which is why it’s time for the club to contemplate upgrading their facilities further to accommodate for their 285 current members. “The Mornington Shire has been fantastic in the improvements they have made to the Golf Course and now it’s time to look at the Clubhouse and Pro Shop facilities to enable us to compete with the many other Golf Clubs on the Peninsula.”

Meet and greet with St Kilda players By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON Peninsula families will have the opportunity to meet players from the St. Kilda Football Club at a Family Footy Night held at the Shed 11 Youth Centre, Hastings. For their first event of the year, the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Youth Services team will be hosting the event to provide kids on the Peninsula a chance to meet some of their favourite AFL players. Set for Friday 17th February between 4pm and 6pm, the event is open to families of young people aged between 10 and 17 where they can participate in a variety of exciting activities and enjoy a BBQ dinner with the players. The BBQ dinner is free of charge and the night is set to be a relaxed ‘meet and greet’ with family, friends and the players. Allowing youngsters to meet their idols, the Family Footy Night is at a perfect time as the juniors are reading up for the start of their season. The Shed 11 Youth Centre is a ‘drop in’ location where kids can attend during the week, Monday to Friday from 3pm to 5pm during the school term. The Youth Centre is located at 11 Marine Parade, Hastings and offers a variety of activities such as pool, table tennis and air hockey. The Family Footy Night should be a great night for the kids with a mixture of activities on offer and the exciting visit by the AFL players.
