Rate your hearing at Nepean Hearing FOUR million Australians have a hearing loss. Nepean Hearing is offering free hearing tests and rating your Hearing for Your Age (for the over 40’s). The number of Australians who are hearing impaired is increasing because of • the ageing population - we are living longer • excessive noise - in the workplace and high level music Hearing loss is often described as the ‘invisible disability. People often wait for 5-10 years before they seek help. Hearing loss may also be a contributing factor in the speed of onset of dementia. The degree of loss is also correlated to the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. It is important to know about your hearing. Many people ignore the signs of hearing loss, which include; turning the TV or stereo up so loud that others complain, frequently needing to ask others to repeat themselves, and not being able to hear properly on the telephone. Constant ringing is also another warning sign of hearing loss. As technology advances, many people with hearing loss benefit from hearing aids. These innovations have made a positive difference in the way they can communicate and enjoy their lives. Nepean Hearing is an independently owned clinic and

Food donated
A CARRUM Downs food manufacturer has teamed with a charity to donate over $50,000 worth of food to people in need. Orgran Foods, which manufactures gluten free and allergen free foods, made a donation of cereals, snacks, and biscuits to Pantry 5000. The charity provides emergency food relief to people in the Frankston and Kingston areas. Pantry 5000 manager Ken Gooding (pictured, right) said “it is clear that a growing number of people in our community are needing assistance to put food on the table right now. Pantry 5000 relies on the support of volunteers and generous donors to continue our work. Having the support of a local business like Orgran means we can reach even more people in need and ensure that no one needs to go hungry.” The 12,000 donated items are set to be distributed over the next eight weeks.

No active virus cases in Frankston Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THERE are no active cases of coronavirus cases among Frankston residents, as of 1 June. The last time a Frankston resident was recorded as having an active case of COVID-19 was on 25 May. Statistics from the Department of Health and
Human Services have since been updated to show that there are no active cases among residents. A total of 41 Frankston locals had previously tested positive for COVID-19. There were also no active cases among people who live in the Kingston local government area. There is one active case on the Mornington Peninsula. Victorian Chief Health Officer Brett
Sutton said “restrictions around some activities have now been eased in Victoria in recognition of the current low rate of community transmission of this virus.” “While encouraging, we need to remain vigilant,” he said. “It is increasingly important that we stay at home when unwell and get tested, wash our hands regularly, sneeze and cough into our elbow and maintain physical dis-
tancing. These are common sense actions to ensure we don’t create a second wave of this serious disease, as we have seen in other countries once they have eased their stringent regulations. “Victorians have done a remarkable job so far sticking to the coronavirus restrictions and staying at home has saved lives. But now is not the time for complacency. “We are also asking Victorians to
continue this amazing effort and get tested if they have symptoms of coronavirus, however mild, because the more tests we do, the more data we have about the prevalence of coronavirus in the community. People with even the mildest of symptoms of coronavirus including fever, chills, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose or loss of sense of smell are encouraged to get tested.”

Grants open for struggling businesses
Picture: Gary Sissons
Cash splash for closed pool THE Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre will receive an immediate cash injection of nearly $700,000 from council to help deal with the financial fallout of COVID-19. The swimming centre has been shut during the pandemic, resulting in 259 casual staff and 26 permanent staff being stood down without pay. At council’s May meeting, it was agreed that PARC would receive an immediate payment of just under $680,000, as well as a further provision of just over $2 million processed quarterly throughout the 2020/2021 financial year. That amount will be paid “after proper assessment and acquittal, under arrangements to be worked through between Peninsula Leisure and council”.
The motion approved by Frankston councillors “notes that the disbursement of any funds in the 2020/21 financial year is subject to a further report to council that authorises a mechanism that would have the effect of returning the funds to council with interest.” The funding was drawn from council’s PARC asset management reserve. The staff stood down at the swimming centre are ineligible for the JobKeeper program because they are employed by a council owned entity. Dunkley MP Peta Murphy has again called for the federal government to expand the program to include the affected PARC workers. “I am terribly disappointed that the federal government insists it is not their responsibil-

ity to help 259 stood down employees keep their jobs at PARC. If the federal government was serious about supporting local jobs and local people, they would extend JobKeeper to PARC employees,” she said. “During the last sitting week of Parliament I asked the treasurer a direct question, why has his government excluded PARC employees from the JobKeeper wage subsidy. His response was that the federal government wouldn’t give these locals job security through JobKeeper, and that I should go and lobby someone else.” It was revealed last month that the JobKeeper program would cost around $60 billion less than was originally projected. Brodie Cowburn
APPLICATIONS for two grant programs aimed at local businesses have opened. The 2020 kerbside dining encouragement and façade improvement grant programs are set to get up and running. The kerbside dining encouragement program offers up to $2000 to businesses to improve their outdoor dining areas. The facade improvement grant offers up to $5000 to businesses to work on the front of their buildings. The grants are a joint initiative by council and the state government. Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said that with COVID-19 measures starting to ease, the state government is “actively encouraging and supporting cafes and restaurants to expand their operations by delivering quality outdoor dining experiences.” “Now is the time for local businesses to jump on board and I encourage business operators to apply now to enhance your dining experiences for residents and visitors in time for summer,” he said. Frankston’s Robinsons Bookshop owner Susanne Horman said the facade improvement grant had helped her create a new shopfront. “We are Victoria’s oldest independent bookshop, and the new heritage look façade and carriage lights have really helped the shop appear that
way,” she said. “Not having to pay for the shop front was a huge boost for us. It is such a high impact part of the store. “We are proud that we have managed to stay open and the new frontage is already drawing people in. I can’t wait until the restrictions are lifted and customers can sit down at our new café and enjoy it all.” Last month council approved extra funding for multiple grant programs to help local businesses recover from the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Applications for both 2020 programs close at 5pm, 30 June. For more details visit frankston.vic.gov. au/Business/Business_Grants/ Frankston’s Robinsons Bookshop owner Susanne Horman.

Drivers fined for speeding past police SOMERVILLE highway patrol officers undertook operation “Safe Mate” on 28 May, targeting motorists on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. The operation enforced the rule that motorists must slow down to 40kmph while passing emergency vehicles with flashing lights. While one police car was pulled over deal-
ing with an offender, another checked the speed of passing drivers. A total of 13 people were fined for driving past the police vehicle at more than 40kmph. Police say that all drivers fined were doing in excess of 80kmph. Police also detected three unregistered vehicles, two suspended
drivers, five speeding drivers, and one impounded vehicle on the road during the day-long operation.

School cuts staff PENINSULA Grammar made 13 non-teaching roles redundant in a major staffing shake-up before the resumption of the second term. The school has also abolished the position of deputy principal - wellbeing, held by Peter Ford. The cuts were foreshadowed by news that the Mt Eliza private school’s student numbers were being “greatly impacted by the global pandemic”. Principal Stuart Johnston said that he had “made the difficult decision to commence a staff consultation process that will potentially impact” staff numbers. The 13 jobs lost were four in the marketing department, seven in administration and two in property (school productions and events). “This has not been an easy process for us. For every one of these roles there exists a person

whose dignity, and whose privacy, we will continue to respect,” Mr Johnston said in a letter to students’ parents on Friday 22 May. “The confidentiality of this process remains of paramount importance to us as a proud school community, and we will continue to protect this.” Mr Johnston said while the “decisions and departures are difficult, they have been taken to maintain and safeguard the school’s strong financial position and highest standards of teaching and education amid a crisis that is unprecedented in our lives”. Changes to the whole school structure in the past year had seen the “redistribution and refinement of all components and functions within the wellbeing portfolio”. Stephen Taylor

Rubbish fires POLICE are seeking information about a series of hard rubbish fires set in Frankston overnight between 23 May and 24 May. Hard rubbish was set alight by unknown offenders at six addresses. The fires were lit on Anderson Street, Wave Street, Spray Street, and Bradshaw Street between 11.30pm and 2.40am. At around 9.50pm on the evening of 24 May, three separate fires were set alight using hard rubbish on Beach Street. Police believe that the rubbish was set on fire with use of an accelerant. They said that no homes or vehicles were damaged. Police believe a tall man wearing a
trench coat may have been involved. Anyone with information is urged to contact Frankston Police Station or Crime Stoppers.
Booze bought with stolen credit card THE USE of a stolen credit card in Frankston last month is being investigated by police. Police believe that a man used the stolen card to buy alcohol at a Langwarrin bottle shop just after 5pm on 3 May. The card was also used at a service station on the same day. An image of a man police wish to speak to had been released (below). Anyone with information is urged to contact Frankston Police.

Time to return library books LIBRARY patrons are being asked to return books, in anticipation of library doors opening again. Return chutes are now open at Frankston, Carrum Downs and Seaford libraries. A statement from Frankston Council read that “items currently out on loan are due back from Wednesday 1 July, so there isn’t an immediate rush to Picture: Supplied
return your items, however we’d love it if you could please include a trip to one of our libraries to return your items as part of your errands in the coming weeks.” “Our priority is the health and wellbeing of our staff, visitors and the broader community. Please be patient as we slowly transition back to being a fully functioning library service.”
Frankston libraries will quarantine books for 72 hours before returning them to shelves.

Community centre committee steps down Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE committee that managed the Patterson Lakes Community Centre has stepped down from its role. A statement on the PLCC Facebook page read that the “members had voted to hand over the management of the Patterson Lakes Community Centre to the City of Kingston.” “The committee has stepped down from its role. The centre currently needs to remain closed because of government regulations on COVID-19. City of Kingston will update you of any changes,” the statement read. A Kingston Council media release read that “the Patterson Lakes Community Centre Incorporation has informed council that its members have voted to cancel the Incorporation and cease to operate as a legal entity.” “As a result, Patterson Lakes Community Centre Incorporated will also be terminating its funding and lease agreements with council. The Incorporation has contacted all members and user groups, including all regular hirers, to notify them that the cancellation of the incorporation has been lodged. Council is working closely with the committee of management through this process. “Council joins with the community in acknowledging and thanking the many volunteers who have served the community at the centre over many years in many roles, providing a welcoming space and opportunities for learning, fun and friendship.
“While existing agreements and processes are being finalised, council will endeavour to contact all existing user groups and service providers. Council will also consult with the broader community, Department of Health and Human Services and service providers on management and use of the site.” Carrum and Patterson Lakes Forum founder Cameron Howe said that it was “a disappointing outcome for the Patterson River area.” “It is sad that the efforts and commitment of volunteers have been diminished, who fearing closure sought financial assistance in 2019 and 2020, with the council choosing to only discuss dissolving the association that cemented the current outcome,” he said. “Catering to an estimated population of 18,000 people, the centre had an inability to cover basic cleaning costs, address any wear and tear, replace the 10 year old phone system, purchase a basic P.A system and to advertise their services. “This should be a council for the people and deflecting responsibility is disrespectful, especially given that the focus should be on the community and volunteers.” Queries can be made to council’s team leader of buildings, hubs, and partnerships Gail McDonald on 9581 4422. The committee’s decision will not impact the Patterson Lakes Library at the centre, which is set to reopen once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.

‘Locals only’ rule for beach boxes Keith Platt keith@baysidenews.com.au NEW regulations proposed for beach boxes will eventually see their ownership restricted to Mornington Peninsula residents or ratepayers. At present, licence renewals for 56 per cent of the 820 beach boxes managed by Mornington Peninsula Shire are sent to addresses outside of the municipality. New regulations proposed by the shire aim to bring beach box ownership back to the peninsula and also limit the number of licences to one a person. Cr David Gill said owning property on the peninsula was a requirement for beach box licences “until recent decades”, making the change “a renewal of a lapsed policy”. He said the “broadened eligibility helped put the licence sale price out of reach of many locals who may have wished to own a licence”. The proposed changes, to be phased in by 2025, also state there will be no extra land made available for beach boxes. Although seen as “an iconic part of the peninsula’s makeup”, Cr Gill said they “decrease public use of crown land, this is not state government policy. He said beach boxes was seen as an investment “which makes the rice of them even higher”. “We should not be encouraging private use of public land as an investment bought by the highest bidder,” Cr Gill said. Beach boxes on the peninsula had also been advertised as weekend rentals, “with some going for $1000 a weekend”, he said. “It seems to me that selling licences on the private market is unfair to our ratepayers unless the licence fee is also based on the market rate. “Our ratepayers contribute about $6 million a year for the upkeep of our foreshore. “I believe we should keep our existing beach boxes but, unfortunately, the attitude that has developed seems to be one of a right rather than

a privilege to have a licence. “We had the situation recently where one beach box licence was sold for $1 million, more than the total for all shire income from licence fees. “This is out of kilter with community expectations, especially when we are debating a luxury item, admittedly often well loved, but still not a necessity. “I do not believe that the sense of entitlement by some licensees Is shared by the 99 per cent of our ratepayers who not only do not own a beach box but contribute $6 million to our foreshores.” The mayor Sam Hearn said the existing Boatshed and Bathing Box Policy was adopted in November 2000, “so it’s fair to say it was due for a review and refresh”. He said the “updated draft policy aims to protect and improve coastal land for the benefit of all users, including boatshed and bathing box licensees”. Other changes proposed include: n A ban on any more beach boxes to be built and no increase in size for existing ones; n Licence holders must have public liability insurance of $20 million; n Existing water and sewerage connections must be disconnected; n Graffiti must be removed within 14 days (or earlier if offensive); n If licences are surrendered to council the bathing box will be demolished and the site opened for the public; n The shire can sell licences cancelled through non-compliance with regulations. Community consultation closes 19 June and can be made at mornpen.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay.27/4/20.
WHILE new regulations are being contemplated for beach boxes on the Mornington Peninsula, several at Mount Martha Beach North bear the marks of neglect and the weather.
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Somerville school concert lauded *** TWO guns, trophies of the war, have been allotted to this Shire, one for Frankston and the other for Hastings. *** MR Ball, of Mentone Grammar School, will visit Frankston on Monday. next, to interview parents. *** THE Wattle Club is combining with the Progress Association in arranging a welcome to the sailors of H.M.S. Renown, who will visit Frankston on Sunday, 6th June. It is desired that business houses should be decorated for the occasion. Donations to the reception fund are invited, and same will be received by Miss D. Gregory, or Mr Wheeler. *** WE are pleased to welcome such an experienced teacher as Mr Manson to our town, and hope sufficient inducement in the number of scholars will make his settlement amongst us for all time, an accomplished fact. *** MR E. Reynolds is spending a holiday in Frankston. *** MR and Mrs A. G. Wilcox intend leaving Frankston next month. A meeting is being arranged to organise public farewell. *** Frankston Brass Band A most satisfactory response has been made in answer to the advertisement for young men to learn to play in the above, and already the number of members of the band has been satisfactorily increased. There are still a few vacancies left.
Compiled by Cameron McCullough A CONCERT in aid of School Funds was given by the pupils of the Somerville State School on Monday night, May 24th. The programme was a lengthy one and reflects great credit on the teachers and scholars. The organising of a school concert entails a vast amount of work and unlimited patience, and the teachers, Mr. Uren and Mrs. Cole, deserve all the laudatory remarks heard concerning them. Everything went through without a hitch, and judging by the beaming smiles on the faces of the audience, each item was thoroughly enjoyed. Over £17 was realised at the door, so the house was possibly a record one. The decorations, attended to by Mr F. Thornell, were very tasteful indeed. Mr. Murray proved an efficient chairman, and at the conclusion of the programme, spoke in favorable terms of the nights’ entertainment. Mr. Uren responded suitably, and moved that a hearty vote of thanks be passed to the members of the School Committee and others who had given great assistance in fixing the stage and other arrangements. This was seconded by Mr. G. Shepherd and carried with acclamation. *** MONTHLY meeting of Shire Council next Thursday. *** IT is likely that a referendum on the question of the sale of the Shire Hall site at Somerville will be held early next month.
Hop in while the chance to obtain expert tuition is still good. Practices are on Monday nights, at Fire Station. *** MEMBERS of the Frankston Cricket Club spent a very enjoyable evening at Frankston House on Saturday, 15th May. Dr. C. Maxwell, the president of the club, presided. Apologies were received from Mr D. Kennedy (the club’s captain), Dr. Mackeddie and others who were unable to be present. Varied entertainment helped to pass a pleasant hour, after which, at the invitation of Dr. Maxwell, a dainty supper was partaken of. The presentation of trophies won during the season just concluded was made. Mr Ben Baxter was successful in securing the best averages both in batting and bowling, and in presenting him with two valuable bats, Dr. Maxwell complimented the winner on his prowess in the field of sport. The Frankston club, he said, was fortunate in possessing a player of such high calibre, and hoped that next season would again see Mr Baxter in his best form on the cricket field. The trophies were the gifts of Dr Mackeddie and the president. Ray Baxter received the trophy for the played making the most catches during the season, presented by Mrs B. Baxter. Mr B. Baxter, in returning thanks, emphatically stated that Frankston had fairly won the Peninsula premiership, despite the fact that they had

been placed third on the list by the Association delegates. Dr. Maxwell took the opportunity of thanking the Shire Council for so readily acceding to the club’s request for the laying down of an asphalt wicket. That special thanks be sent to Cr Mason for the, support he had given. Cr Mason in reply said the Council owed something to the cricket club for improvements effected to the park in years gone by. If the club showed an interest in the reserve they were now using he believed the Council would not be slow to give further assistance. In supporting the vote of thanks to the Press, Mr B. Box said that next season Frankston hoped to be playing with an association of clubs along the line as far as Mordialloc. Warm thanks were tendered to the Misses Hay and Box for providing room at Frankston House for the use of the Club. *** Heard in the Train On Sunday, 6th June, the Blue jackets of the H.M.S. Renown will be welcomed at Frankston. The Wattle Club have the arrangements in hand in co-operation with the Progress Association, and although the Prince’s sailors will not remain in Frankston for more than half-an-hour, it is proposed to give them, during that time a fair sample of “concentrated enthusiasm.” It is persistently rumored that the Prince himself won’t be very far away on the occasion. The Shire President, (Cr D. E.
Hoban), has been invited to attend and officially extend a welcome on behalf of the people of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings. On the afternoon of the same day the Wattle Club will entertain a large number of soldiers from the hospitals. A bumper house greeted the Frankston pictures last Saturday night. Next week the show takes place on Wednesday night, as usual. The public meeting at Seaford last Saturday night dealt with Kananook Creek question in very thorough fashion. People are beginning to realise that the creek is not only a menace to public health, but, like Frankston’s light supply, is detrimental to the progress of the district. Some people will take risks where the matter of health alone is concerned, but are prepared to fight if vested interests are threatened. The creek is a double barrelled danger, and the sooner Mr Tom McComb’s “Kananook River” is again a real, live, flowing concern, the better it will be for everybody. Frankston Progress Association’s monthly meeting was largely attended on Tuesday night, and half-a-dozen new members were enrolled. The “motion” to prohibit Sunday bathing did not materalise, the intending proposer intimating that he had been having a little “joke.” It certainly served its purpose. Even the joker was joked. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 May 1920

Soccer bosses let clubs choose SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie FOOTBALL Victoria last week gave clubs the opportunity to decide their short-term future without penalty. The state body announced that there would be promotion this year throughout the leagues but no relegation. FV’s “Guiding principles for the resumption of football in Victoria” was generally well-received and for the most part took an even-handed approach when weighing up the federation’s responsibilities as the game’s watchdog against the responsibilities of member clubs. However, while announcing that clubs choosing not to compete would not face sanctions the principles mandated that all clubs were “subject to the payment of their full, respective 2020 team entry/license/participation fees by 31 October 2020. This will ensure that clubs retain their league status in the Victorian football hierarchy for 2021.” FV also may restructure the leagues shortly depending on which clubs choose to participate so it’s feasible that some clubs could be promoted even before a ball is kicked in anger. Since the announcement FV has updated its return to training rules released a fortnight back that imposed a 10-person quota on training groups, essentially restricting them to nine players and a coach. There were other biosecurity protocols in a comprehensive list that clubs had to implement and monitor as a necessary condition of resuming training. From Monday 1 June training groups were increased to 20 people including coaches and support staff with a continuation of other protocols already in place. FV has given clubs until Monday 8 June to decide whether or not they will take part in the 2020 season and already nine local clubs have indicated that they are keen to play – Mornington, Peninsula Strikers, Skye United, Frankston Pines, Baxter, Chelsea, Aspendale Stingrays, Rosebud and Mount Martha. Langwarrin, Seaford United and Somerville Eagles are expected to reach a decision on participation this week.
Decision time: Langwarrin, Seaford United and Somerville Eagles are expected to decide this week whether they will take part in the 2020 season.
For Baxter president Bray Hodgkinson it’s the unknown composition of the leagues and the season that proved to be the biggest obstacle to deciding what to do. “We don’t know if what FV is putting together will actually operate or not,” he said. “It’s hard for us to make any other decision without knowing exactly what everything looks like.” Langwarrin president Tanya Wallace is among a handful of club bosses still deciding whether to proceed. Like Hodgkinson she bemoans the fact that her club will make a decision without a better understanding of what lies ahead. “I don’t know how many games we are going to play so I can’t even begin to look at a budget until we know that,” Wallace said. “We can’t negotiate with anyone but we’ve still got to decide what to do by 8 June. “I’m hoping that by next Friday there’ll be more information from Football Victoria and we’ll be able to make a more informed decision. “Right now you’re guessing and you’re gambling and you can’t run a club like that especially a not-forprofit organisation. “This club is all about sustainability and I’m not going to be the one who has to close the place down after 56 years.” Langwarrin has been thorough in gathering information from parents
and players over the past fortnight to enable it to have a good understanding of their willingness to participate this year. The club arranged a survey of its major demographic – its junior NPL and community junior sections – by emailing everyone listed on its registration database and the result was an overwhelming response in favour of playing. “Ninety per cent want to train and want to play and of the 10 per cent that didn’t want to play a few were happy to train and a few had changed their mind and didn’t want to play anymore,” Wallace added. “Only one of our community coaches doesn’t want to come back but some of our team managers are finding it hard as they are out of work at the moment.” Langwarrin’s NPL juniors started training last week and the seniors are due to start this week. All of the club’s registered players had to sign a return to training agreement before being able to train. Parents of junior players also had to sign the document which reinforced the biosecurity measures in place and encouraged everyone to sign up to the government’s COVIDSafe app. “We wanted to make sure that people understood what’s required. We know it’s not mandatory but like Football Victoria we strongly recommend that people sign up to the app,” Wallace said.

In State 3 news Matthew “Hammer” Hames has started training with Frankston Pines. He is a former Pines, Peninsula Strikers and Knox City player who had been working in the UK as a science and maths teacher but returned to Melbourne this year. “I got to go to a multitude of football matches but only played socially as I was travelling so much,” Hames said. “I’m still not sure where I’ll end up but the culture at Pines feels good and that’s important to me.” Pines head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor thinks Hames and Fijian import Tito Vodowaqa could form an effective partnership. “Matt is proven at State League level, is good with his back to goal, and provides us with a different dimension going forward,” Taylor said. With relegation out of the mix and the possibility that FV will be forced to revamp the leagues if clubs decide not to play this year there’s nothing to lose and much to gain for any club that is promoted to a higher league before the season starts. That’s a prospect that Taylor is relishing and wouldn’t hesitate to accept should the opportunity arise. “I have no doubt that we will be extremely competitive whatever league we find ourselves in,” Taylor said. “We have added a number of quality players which has significantly increased our depth and squad bal-

ance.” All Pines home games this year will be streamed live on the mycujoo.tv platform. Meanwhile referees are a group that has received little comment on social media whenever the topic of returning to playing is mentioned despite their integral role in the sport. However a current referee and a former top-flight match official who did not want to be named have both indicated that today’s refs are cautious about a season reboot. “Most referees I know are champing at the bit to get back on the park but a lot though have concerns about safety,” said the current referee. The former match official believes that changes to routine are inevitable if social distancing requirements are to be met. “The referees I have spoken to have no worries about the onfield side of things but have mentioned that social distancing is a major problem with referees’ change rooms, some of which can't accommodate three officials let alone more. “Referee assessors and match commissioners have the same issues for post-match reviews. “Maybe match officials have to go to grounds pre-changed and postmatch stuff is conducted outside if a larger area cannot be provided.”

Spring features on Agreeable’s agenda HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou THE Anthony Freedman stable continued their successful run with two-year-old’s as Agreeable stormed home to victory to notch up their fourth individual juvenile winner for the month of May. Coming off two encouraging jumpouts at Mornington, the daughter of Sebring realed in her opposition to score a winning debut at Geelong on Friday 29 May. Agreeable settled at the rear of the field under jockey Jamie Kah before sweeping past her rivals in the straight and was eased down with her ears pricked in the final 50 metres. The Piencliff Racing-owned filly ended up holding a two-length margin over the Lindsay Park-trained Aswaat and the Kevin Corstens-trained Love Sensation. Mornington trainer Anthony Freedman said it was a great win by a filly who is far from the finished product. “It was a top debut performance,” Anthony Freedman said on his website. “She followed up two good jump outs and handled race day well, as she can be a highly strung filly. Jamie (Kah) rode her nicely, and she seems to get on with her really well.” Being bred out of a Listed twoyear-old winning mare who managed to show her best of a mile, will likely see Agreeable head in a similar direction.
Another one: Agreeable provides Anthony Freedman with his fourth individual twoyear-old winner in the month of May. Picture: Supplied
Freedman said he is now considering aiming Agreeable towards the three-year-old fillies features in the Spring. “Going off what we have seen at home and being by Sebring, she looks like she will get out over further so races like the Thousand Guin-
eas (1600m) and Wakefield Stakes (2000m) could be nice targets for her,” he said. “She has had a positive experience, so she’ll improve from that and she’ll improve again with another spell. She’ll have two or three weeks in the paddock now and we will get her
ready for the three-year-old fillies’ races through the Spring.” Pinecliff Racing in combination with the Freedman stable have had some serious talent head towards the Thousand Guineas in previous seasons with Southbank (2019) and Shoals (2017) both finishing in the
placings. Shoals later went on to win the Group 1 Myer Classic (1600m) at her next start before adding the Group 1 Surround Stakes (1400m) and Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) to her page the following year.

Imagine being able to buy your own real dinosaur Well now you can – at Dove and Lyre, 187 Main Street, Mornington! This is a business serious about natural history, selling fossils, gems, bugs and beasties, handmade gemstone jewellery, and antiquities.

Robert and Di opened their first shop Dove and Lyre in Sydney in 2013 and remained open until February this year closing just after opening in Mornington in late January.
There are two reasons for opening in Mornington at this time. Firstly, Robert and Di have always wanted to become resident on the peninsula, and secondly, the bush fires in East Gippsland crippled their shop’s business in Lakes Entrance, which has been open for almost 4 years.
When the covid-19 pandemic came almost straight after, the community in East Gippsland has been devastated, having lost its income for the season. These factors induced Robert and Di to open in Mornington earlier than expected and hopefully Lakes Entrance will recover quickly, when visitors can return to enjoy this beautiful part of Victoria. Dove and Lyre Mornington is a shop that is sure to impress - a fascinating eclectic mix of unique and wonderful objects that have been collected over the last 8 years. To name but a few of the most amazing items for sale is a 120 million year old baby Dinosaur - Psittacosaurus Sinensis, a small herbivore from China; a three chambered Amethyst cave from Brazil; museum quality crystal and fossil specimens and some amazing fossils and crystals from Australia. This amazing shop has a vast range of Gemstones – from the common to the obscure, in a price range from $5 to over $5,000. Their extensive range of fossils includes trilobites, ammonites, Woolly Mammoth teeth, and even a Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth. Dove and Lyre have a display of Australian and European meteorites including the latest one to hit Russia in 2013. There is also Moldavite and Libyan glass, the results of meteorite impacts. Did you know there are 172 known impact craters in the world and Australia has 25 of these? Also, for sale are Antiquities from around the world, dating back to several thousand years BC. From the Pre-historic to the Historic and Modern, come and have a look at their incredible range of jewellery – from early Roman, to antique, Art Deco and the latest handmade Sterling Silver and beaded Jewellery! What a choice! Dove and Lyre also have a superb collection of Butterflies and Bugs, framed and under glass. It is their intention to provide many natural history and scientific pieces for those interested in these areas. Make sure you put Dove and Lyre on your ‘MUST SEE’ list when you are down and about in Mornington.
Maybe not up your street however they are really stunning to those who collect. Choose from beautiful butterfiles and other bugs.
Left: Needs no explanation, however did you know they were formed 1.8 - 2 BILLION years ago? Right: Our baby dinosaur come and pay her a visit!
