Firefighters’ responding to unnecessary callouts
Time short for ‘safe’ burn-offs Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE CFA says there is “still a short window of opportunity” for properties across the Mornington Peninsula to be cleaned up before the start of declared fire danger times on Monday 16 December. If fire is being used to clean up properties it must be registered. “So far this year, out-of-control burn-offs and unregistered burn-offs have caused unnecessary call-outs for brigades,” CFA District 8 operations manager Jamie Hansen said. He said there should be no burning off in strong winds or if they were forecast “not only on the day of your burn but for the days afterwards”. Mr Hansen said once the fire danger time comes into effect, the CFA has a “zero-tolerance approach to any fires that have started from negligent behaviour”. “Expect any fire you start to be fully investigated by CFA and Victoria Police,” he said. He said the CFA would only issue permits after 16 December with “very strict conditions attached … the liability sits with the permit holder to ensure they always act safely”. During the Fire Danger Period fires cannot be lit in the open air without a written permit from CFA or the shire’s municipal fire prevention officer.

Mr Hansen said the seasonal bushfire outlook released in late August “identified potential for above normal bushfire activity across the coastal and foothill forests of East Gippsland” and warned that ash forests in the central highlands and Otways could be more flammable than normal during summer. “Across the rest of Victoria, normal bushfire activity is expected, but CFA reminds Victorians that even an average fire season in the state can be a bad one.” The CFA says that despite recent rainfall, underlying dryness exists and presents a high fire risk in the area. “The fire potential is further increased by weather bureau forecasts that the next three months will be drier and warmer than average,” Mr Hansen said. “Any rainfall we do experience in spring will produce growth, which could very easily become a high fuel load throughout the summer season if not properly managed. “Reducing fuel loads will ensure that if a fire does break out, it has less chance of taking hold or spreading.” For information about burn-off restrictions contact Mornington Peninsula Shire or visit cfa.vic.gov.au/ warningsrestrictions/restrictions-during-the-fire-danger-period.

Man charged after Mt Martha mother dies in highway crash THE family of a Mount Martha woman who died in a horrific collision in Seaford last week has praised her as a “loving wife and mother to her beautiful 10-year-old son”. Rose Kelly, pictured, 43, died when a Nissan Navara ute being driven by a P-plater veered onto the wrong side of Nepean Highway and slammed into her, 6.30am, Thursday 5 December. A 20-year-old Sandringham man, arrested at the scene by an off-duty police officer, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. He has since been charged with one count of dangerous driving causing death. Ms Kelly’s grieving family said in a statement she had “dedicated her life to educating young children”. “Her life was devastatingly and shockingly taken too soon by this event. “We are very thankful for all the personal messages of support to our family and tributes to Rose. “We now ask for complete privacy during this time as we grieve our loss.” Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives said the Nissan was travelling south when it veered into northbound lanes, giving Ms Kelly “nowhere to go” before the collision. Detective Senior Sergeant Brad McArthur told ABC Radio Ms Kelly
was in the vehicle struck first and “really didn’t stand a chance”. He described it as a “terrible crash scene”. Police had earlier received calls about a black Nissan Navara ute “driving erratically” in Mordialloc. “It was probably being driven in a manner that made it stand out to other vehicles,” Detective McArthur said. The drivers of three cars were involved, with two being taken to hospital for treatment. Ms Kelly died at the scene. Emergency services crews closed Nepean Highway in both directions between Eel Race Road and Station Street while police investigated the crash. Ms Kelly’s death brings the state’s road toll to 250 as of Friday 6 December. Stephen Taylor
Sublime sea art for the senses
Images from Sublime Sea: Rapture and Reality includes Petrina Hicks’ Venus. Picture: Supplied
MORNINGTON Peninsula Regional Gallery’s summer exhibition Sublime Sea: Rapture and Reality will run 14 December-23 February. This major summer exhibition will feature about 100 paintings, sculptures, photography, film and the decorative arts. They aim to reveal “how the sense of wonder and awe that has driven artists across the centuries is heightened today as the sea itself is under threat”. With loans from major galleries and museums, including NGV, NGA, Art Gallery of NSW, Queensland Art Gallery, Australian National Maritime Museum, Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, Museum Victoria and various private galleries, Sublime Sea: rapture and reality evokes the overwhelming experience of nature, from intrepid journeys and mysterious grottos to the infinite space of the ocean. The gallery’s curator Dr Vivien Gaston said: “The exhibition shows how a sublime vision evokes intense beauty that transports the viewer beyond the everyday, as well as overwhelming fear that emphasises human insignificance and often a combination of both.”

Gallery boss told to leave after 16 years Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au SOMEONE with an intimate knowledge of the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery’s latest exhibition Sublime Sea – Rapture and Reality won’t be around to admire the paintings. In what is seen as a shock move by the close-knit peninsula arts community, gallery director Jane Alexander was made redundant on Friday 8 November, after 16 years with Mornington Peninsula Shire. Programs and invitations to Sublime Sea – which opens on Saturday (14 December) and is billed as a fitting tribute to the gallery’s 50th anniversary year – still bear her name and best wishes. Indeed, Ms Alexander commissioned Dr Vivien Gaston to curate the exhibition, which is praised by shire CEO John Baker as “building on the [gallery’s] rich history of developing and presenting outstanding exhibitions that focus on our coastal location, stories and relationship with the sea”. Despite this public acclaim, a stillangry Ms Alexander said last week: “The decision-makers felt my role was no longer necessary”. “I am disappointed because the gallery in its 50th year has no director. “The decision has outraged a huge number of people [who] can’t fathom why. “I am personally disappointed [to be leaving] and fear that the decision

long-term doesn’t bode well for the gallery.” Ms Alexander was appointed director in 2008 and before that was acting director. In the 1990s she was director of McClelland Gallery for three years before joining Mornington Peninsula Shire in 2003 as education officer. “They could have saved on a huge
redundancy bill if they had just waited a while, as I wasn’t going to stay forever,” she said. Ms Alexander said the secrecy, timing and abruptness of her termination gave the lie to the shire’s proclaimed “core values” of integrity, openness, courage, respect, and excellence. These “values” are enshrined on the
shire’s website which says it is “committed to the highest standards of performance, behaviour and service”. “I just wonder what a lot of people will say about those values being demonstrated here,” Ms Alexander said. “I’m disappointment there was no consultation – they showed no respect
to me. I was not offered any other position.” Ms Alexander, who has a law degree as well as a range of arts qualifications, queried the “huge amount of money the shire was spending on redundancies”. Although she would not comment on her payout, it is believed to be more than $100,000. “They paid me out but it feels like dirty money,” she said. The former director is the fifth since the gallery began in Vancouver Street, Mornington, in 1969, and one of three to have had long tenures. “I felt I built on the other directors’ hard work,” she said, adding that “not too many council institutions have such stable staffs”. “We brought some phenomenal experiences to the community and I feel I gave it my best shot,” she said. “[My retrenchment] is personal, but it’s about the gallery, too.” The shire’s communities’ director Jenny Van Riel, said in a statement: “While council does not comment publicly on internal staffing matters, we can confirm that there has been a considered restructure within the communities directorate.” She said the libraries and arts and culture units would be combined. “The shire remains committed to maintaining the high standard of exhibitions at the [gallery] as a valued arts and cultural experience for our community,” Ms Van Riel said. “We are looking forward to celebrating the gallery’s 50th anniversary next year with a number of exciting events planned.”

Millions poured into beach sand MILLIONS of dollars in taxpayers’ money is being spent restoring two Mornington Peninsula beaches despite experts being unable to find a permanent solution to sand loss. At Portsea, heavy machinery is being used to build a rock wall to protect workers repairing a sandbag sea wall first installed in 2010. At Rosebud, 20,000 cubic metres of sand will be dredged from offshore sandbars and used to renourish two beaches. Rosebud West beach is impassable at high tide and beach boxes have been undermined while the Bay Trail boardwalk has been washed by waves east of the pier. Within four weeks thousands of tonnes of sand will be carted from Mt Martha South Beach to restore sand lost from Mt Martha Beach North. The exercise - paid for with a $1. 5 million election promise made by Flinders MP Greg Hunt – replicates a similar movement of sand in 2010, which was all but gone within three years. DELWP last week said taking sand from end of Mt Martha beach to the other was “a short-term measure”. The works would take three to four weeks and would start when money came through from the federal Environmental Restoration Fund. Although heavy rocks have already been placed against the eroding cliff base at Mt Martha North, the most recent expert report commissioned by the state government could find no way to “restore sand or prevent erosion in the short or long-term along the entirety of the beach” (“Beach repairs

could cost $4m” The News 30/10/17). “The Victorian government had allocated funding to address erosion at Mt Martha North, and if any of the engineering options in the report had been found to be feasible and effective, they would have been implemented,” land and build environment programs regional manager Dick Ford said. In early November Mr Hunt said the state government was indicating it was willing to “reconsider its position” and would implement the replenishment program while developing a long-term plan (“Lifeline for Mt Martha North beach” The News 11/11/19). A check of Safety Beach near Dromana last Thursday showed that it too was shrinking in width, although
no government agency has yet offered any help. Meanwhile, a big yellow digger continues to position rocks at Portsea for a temporary rock bund that will be removed when the sandbag wall was completed early next year. Work is taking place Monday to Saturday but will stop before Christmas and throughout January and will restart at the beginning of February. Land and built environment program manager John Downs said pedestrians could use the pier during the works and the beach could be reached using scaffold stairs until workers start removing sandbags or if safety becomes an issue. The temporary bund was necessary because of damaging wave and weath-
er conditions, combined with greater than anticipated sand loss in front of the sandbag seawall over winter. “The sandbag wall was established in 2010 and has since helped protect the Portsea foreshore against the impacts of storm surges, waves, tides and wind,” DELWP Port Phillip regional director Stephen Chapple said. “The outer layer of the wall is in poor condition as a result of wear and tear over time. The repair works will see the front face of the sandbag wall replaced to ensure it continues to provide protection to the foreshore.” DELWP’s initial plans for a permanent $3 million rock wall were successfully resisted by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council in mid-2018.
The shire at that time called on the state government to first find a solution to the disappearing sand which has receded 25-30 metres along 600 metres of beach. The shire said a permanent rock revetment outlined in a 2016 study by consultants Advisian “by itself will achieve erosion protection but will not guarantee the return of this iconic beach”. Two months later the state government postponed building a permanent rock wall which then-mayor Cr Bryan Payne dismissed as “the final environmental nail in the coffin [which would] permanently destroy the beach”.

Since then SYDC has created and performed four 90-minute works, focussing on such themes as war, feminism, mental illness and the conflict between logic and emotion. Dellaportas says young people can “have a voice through dance”. A registered charity, SYDC encourages its members to perform, choreograph and create new dance works. Now 21, Dellaportas works with groups of young people “with a large focus on mental health and neurodiversity, encouraging them to channel their stories of pain, confusion and emotion through dance”. "It was and still is my dream to create a place for young people on the Mornington Peninsula and surrounds
ALEX Dellaportas describes herself as “a living example of someone who doesn’t always fit in - someone who thinks differently, who experiences emotions uniquely”. She admits to having a “sometimes difficult relationship with mental health” but also as someone who has learned to embrace and see “differences as a superpower”. Dellaportas, of Capel Sound, started Spark Youth Dance Company (SYDC) in 2016 hoping it would enable 7-25 year olds “speak about mental illness and to normalise difference, to encourage it, to channel it into art that speaks to people, that tells stories that change the way our young people live for the better."

Mercedes hits tree after carjacking A TERRIFIED couple in their 60s was ordered out of their car in Mount Martha by two men who then drove off and crashed it into a tree, 3.15pm, Sunday 24 November. Detective Acting Sergeant Peter Drake, of Somerville CIU, said the couple was being tailgated by a silver Honda SUV in Dickson Grove when the incident occurred. Two men in the Honda pulled in front of the couple’s Mercedes and stopped. One, who “appeared to be holding something under a white cloth”, ordered them out, Detective Drake said. One jumped into the Mercedes and it, and the Honda, was driven away. The Mercedes was driven into a tree a short time later and the men drove off in the Honda. No description of the men was available. Detectives from the Southern Metro Crime Team took the couple’s car away for DNA analysis. They were not harmed. Anyone with information is urged to call Somerville CIU 59781300 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.
cal Incident Response Unit. He was charged with trespassing, criminal damage and making threats to kill. He appeared before Frankston Magistrates’ Court where he was remanded to reappear in February.
Neighbours terrorised
Security camera stolen
A MOUNT Martha man allegedly stormed into two neighbours’ houses and terrorised the occupants, 12.30pm, Sunday 1 December. The man, 43, allegedly forced his way in the front door of a house on the Esplanade and began threating and verbally abusing a middle aged couple. While they cowered the man, possibly substance-or-drug affected, left and kicked in the front door of another house, again allegedly verbally abusing and threatening the occupants. No one was injured in the incidents although the occupants were said to be shaken. The man allegedly refused to come out of the house before being arrested by the Criti-
Action. Roll camera: Captured image of a man police want to question over a camera stolen from Moorooduc Cricket Club. Image: Supplied
TWO men who stole a security camera from Moorooduc Cricket Club are being sought by Mornington police. The men, driving a SUV, drove into the club on Derril Road about 4am, Tuesday 12 November. They took the camera which was attached to a bracket on the wall and fled the scene. They are described as Caucasian aged 30-40 years. One man had a shaved head and was wearing a singlet top, jeans and grey hooded top. The other was wearing a black tracksuit jacket and pants with white stripes and white shoes. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Beach welcome mats rolled out GIVING more people more access to the bay’s beaches is the aim of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s beach matting program. It is part of the Beach Access program which has been running at Mount Martha beach since 2016 and is now at Mills Beach, Mornington. The beach matting is permanently on the sand offering those in wheelchairs, or with limited mobility, the chance to get to the water’s edge during summer. The matting was rolled out on Friday 8 November and will remain until Easter Monday (13 April) with beach accessible wheelchairs available on weekends during patrol hours.
The Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula has a Sandcruiser beach wheelchair available for free hire from the Point Leo Surf Life Saving Club. More information about beach access can be found at mornpen.vic.gov.au/accessiblebeaches. “Our beaches are for everyone, so I’m extremely pleased to see this fantastic initiative extended to another location. The more people who can access this service the better,” the mayor Cr Sam Hearn said. The shire is also increasing disability access at beaches by upgrading parking, paths and toilets in coastal areas.

Summer: weekly recycling
Police go to the beach for safety BEACHES on the Mornington Peninsula will be a focus of the police Operation Summersafe until March. The police are armed with an arsenal of tools and resources to help ensure community safety, including the public order response team, mounted branch, water police, drone unit and dog squad. Commander Libby Murphy said police would have a highly visible presence on beaches within the Southern Metropolitan Region. “We will focus on using real time intelligence and technology through the drone unit to detect and deter offending, giving us the ability to
flexibly deploy resources to where they’re most needed,” she said. “Those choosing to have weapons or be unruly, confrontational or cause people to be alarmed, will be swiftly identified. Police will intervene and take action. “We know these groups often travel between popular beach locations so we’ll be closely monitoring the public transport network to ensure that everyone can go about their day and night safely.” Police and Protective Services Officers will patrol public transport hubs, local roads and enforce local bylaws regarding the consumption and possession of alcohol.
Remi loves that you can recycle EVERY WEEK over summer Monday 16 December until Friday 31 January Our weekly Summer Recycling Service is a boost to the usual fortnightly recycling service to help you better dispose of your waste over summer. Your normal 240L recycling bin (blue lid) will be collected on the same day it is currently every week rather than fortnightly, at no additional cost.
Shire’s salute to the sun
PLANS to develop a 4.85MG solar farm in the Dromana industrial estate have received support from Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. The Dromana Clean Energy Farm in Collins Road is the first regional solar farm on the peninsula and aligns with what the council sees as a practical response to its declared Climate Emergency stance. Cr Simon Brooks said after the planning services meeting, Monday 18 November, that councillors had applauded the “effort that the applicant had gone to in bringing the proposal to this point”. “The location is ideal for grid connection into the southern peninsula electricity grid,” he said. “Under the community grid partnership with United Energy, GreenSync and the shire, localised generation and storage is needed to counter the summer spikes in power usage.
“With a connection specifically built-in for a grid scale battery this facility will allow for hosting a battery probably sooner than later, reducing the need for diesel generators.” Project developer Stephen Todd said the regenerative solar farm combined carbon farming with renewable energy production. “At this stage we are waiting for United Energy’s approval to connect the solar farm so we can start to supply locally made clean energy with a high social impact,” he said. The project combines a solar farm, soil health renovation project, productive planting, pollinator-friendly habitat, controlled environment growing sheds, streaming educational data and Indigenous promotion.

Numbers count in team selection Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au JUDO expert Harrison Cassar is on a mission to win the required number of ranking points to gain selection into the Australian Olympics team to compete at Tokyo in July. Described as an “elite athlete” by his coaches at Mornington Judo Club, Cassar has been a dedicated club member since he was eight. Now 20, he has wins at both state and national championships behind him and placings at recent international events. His most recent success was a bronze medal at the 2018 Asian Open, ranking him number one in Australia for his weight division. Cassar, of Dromana, is confident of doing well at the Olympics in a sport practised by 20 million people worldwide – most avidly in Japan, Asia and Europe. “It would be a dream to win an Olympic medal,” he said. “It’s been my goal ever since I was about 12. “Even getting selected in the Australian team would be unreal.” At 175cm tall and fighting in the under 90kg section, Cassar is a powerful martial artist grappling with a points-ranking system as obdurate as any opponent. “We do competitions all year and accrue points under an international points system depending on our success,” he said. “I’ve been everywhere – perhaps a dozen countries – over the past 18 months. “Although I am looking good as the Australian number one in my class, it won’t mean anything unless I manage to accrue sufficient points in overseas competition. If that doesn’t happen, I won’t make the Australian team.” Although a tournament in Osaka two weeks ago “didn’t go so well”, Cassar can make amends in Israel at the end of January, where he hopes to accrue more points to aid his selection

THE Liminality Celtic Trio and St George’s Church Red Hill will present Liminality ~ A Celtic Christmas concert, Friday 13 December. The evening of classical Celtic Christmas tunes and carols includes supper. Proceeds and donations raised will go to Food For All. Liminality – made up of harpist Cath Connelly, violinist Greg Hunt, and pianist and vocalist Jules Vines – will bring a classically Celtic concert which aims to relax and refresh the audience in the lead up to the Christmas period. The trio’s new album, Brigid’s Mantle, will be available to buy on the night. “The album includes some of our most requested music: from Leonard Cohen to Robbie Burns and original writings about the Murray River,” Ms Vines said. “Liminality albums always include an original work that each of us has written. “We have had wonderful reviews from our Celtic Reflections Show this year celebrating 1000 years of Celtic music through song and dance. We have had full houses at stage shows in Gippsland and at the National Celtic Folk Festival. Tickets are $25 with supper included. CDs will be available for $20 with $5 from every CD going to Food For All. St George’s Church welcomes donations of non-perishable goods. Doors open at 6.30pm Bookings are essential, especially for children under 10. They can be made through trybooking.com/BGZDP or by calling Liminality Bookings, 0429 650 571.

Demonstrators call for change THE higher profile Global Day of Action for Climate Change rally, Friday 29 November, was the catalyst for an afternoon sit-down outside Flinders MP Greg Hunt’s office, Somerville, the same day. Organiser Meike Suggars said the government’s “inaction on the climate crisis [was] contributing to catastrophic fire conditions”. “People are hurting,” she said. “Communities are being devastated – and summer hasn’t even begun.” Ms Suggars said she had previously been unable to arrange a meeting with Mr Hunt “to discuss my concerns over climate change”. “So, when I saw [last] Friday was a day of action for ThisIsClimateChange, I decided to organise a local event outside his office.” On Monday, Mr Hunt issued a statement saying he respected “the right for peaceful protest”. He said the federal government was committed to “taking real and meaningful action to address
the challenge of climate change and reducing emissions without increasing power prices”. He said Australia’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory: June 2019 released last week showed that emissions had dropped 13 per cent from 610 million tonnes mega-tonnes (Mt) a year in 2005, the “base year for Australia’s Paris commitments”. “Emissions are down from 537Mt per annum in 2012-13 in the last year before we came to office to 532.7Mt (2016-17), to 532.4Mt (2017-18) to 532Mt (2018-19),” Mr Hunt stated. He predicted Australia world beat its Kyoto targets by moere than 367 million tonnes. In a flyer promoting Friday’s demonstration, Ms Suggars said: “Rather than taking real action on the climate crisis, all our government offers is their thoughts, prayers and more support for coal, oil and gas projects.” The government was also accused of ignoring warnings by Indigenous leaders and firefighters “of a spiralling bushfire crisis”.

Shire’s climate efforts reach global stage LOCAL government representatives from around the world have been told about Mornington Peninsula Shire’s efforts to attain “climate neutrality” through lessening its carbon emissions. Cr Hugh Fraser last week outlined the declaration of a climate emergency by the shire and 1000 other Australian municipalities to a conference in Madrid, Spain. He said the move by local governments to recognise the climate emergency in Australia started in 2016 and was adopted by the shire on 13 August this year following an audit of its carbon footprint which was first undertaken five years ago. Cr Fraser told his international audience that the shire “is now developing a climate emergency plan, building on our climate neutrality commitment”. Cr Fraser spoke at the opening day of the conference (Monday 2 December) on behalf of the International Commission for Local Government Environment Initiatives (ICLEI) an umbrella organisation for the Local Government and Municipal Authorities Constituency (LGMA). He said the emphasis of the conference was on containing global warming to 1.5 degrees, 25 per cent less than the two degrees agreed to at the 2015 United Nations climate change conference, or COP 21. “The climate emergency is such that even containment to 1.5 degrees is problematic,” Cr Fraser said. “Equally important are the nation state negotiations as to the rules to govern the operation of the Paris Agreement Article 6 as to carbon

credits. An agreed set of practical rules will be a vital outcome of this COP 25. “The Oxford Dictionary chose ‘climate emergency’ as the word of 2019. There is no better place than town halls to discuss and act on climate emergency.” Federal Energy and Emissions reduction Minister Angus Taylor says Australia in one track to meet its commitment to reduce carbon emission by 26-28 per cent by 2030 based on 2005 levels. However, this can only be achieved if the Madrid conference agrees to Australia counting carryover credits achieved when it previously performed better than expected. Some Pacific and European countries have opposed the inclusion of carryover credits. Keith Platt

Going chemical free a win for winemakers Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au CRITTENDEN Estate in Dromana has won international recognition for its efforts to achieve sustainability in making wines. The estate has won the 2020 BRIT/ FIVS international winegrowing competition in the wake of a decision more than a decade ago to stop using chemicals. Estate manager Rollo Crittenden said soil fertility at the Harrisons Road vineyard dropped noticeably about 12 years ago following 25 years’ use of herbicides, pesticides and fungicides. Chemical residues had made the soil “chalky” and lacking in nutrients, which led to vines being “not as healthy as they could be”. The decision to adopt other ways of improving the soil and crop has now culminated in winning the BRIT/ FIVS competition, jointly run by the Botanical Research Institute of Texas and FIVS, a Paris-based international federation of sustainability-minded wine organisations. The award was based on the winery’s programs addressing the three elements of sustainability - environmental, economic, and social – as well as its wine’s flavour. The award recognised the quality of the estate’s 2017 Cri de Coeur pinot noir, submitted as proof of the success of Crittenden Estate’s commitment and innovation in sustainable winemaking. “The combination of sustainable
Family tradition: Second generation winemakers Rollo and Zoe Crittenden, main picture, have steered the family’s Dromana vineyard to a chemical-free future. Crittenden Estate founder, Garry Crittenden, inset, working the inter-row cropping system. Pictures: Keith Platt (main) and supplied
programs with the family’s love of the land has produced a wine that is truly outstanding,” BRIT’s president and executive director, Dr Ed Schneider said. Nine finalists were chosen for the top award and runners up included South Australia’s Henschke Wines, Santa Rosa California’s Jackson Family Wines and Portugal’s Herdade dos Grous. Wineries from Chile, Portugal and the United States received medals for their “ground-to-glass” sustainability programs and Jackson Family Wines
received a platinum multi-brand sustainable winegrowing award. Rollo Crittenden said the move to make Crittenden Estate “regenerative” involved producing compost on site and inter-row cropping – planting peas, oats and rye grass between the rows of vines. “The root systems of these plants have a beneficial fungus that spreads to the root systems of the vines,” he said. “There was a gradual, but noticeable, increase in the health of our vines. “We have healthier, disease resist-
ant vines from creating a healthier environment.” The fungus spread by the inter-vine plantings helps the vines combat mildew in their canopies. Crittenden says the estate is “not at the finish line [of sustainability] by any means”. “We’re trying to understand the science and implementing a regenerative system throughout our business.” The estate uses recycled water from the pipeline that runs close to the property from its source at the eastern treatment plant in Bangholme to an
ocean outfall at Gunnamatta. Bees from two beehives on the property to pollinate “desirable fruiting trees” and solar panels have led to a 60 per cent reduction in energy costs. Rollo Crittenden’s father Garry planted the estate’s first vines in 1982. That two-hectare vineyard more than doubled the amount of land planted with grapevines in the area. While still involved with the estate, Garry Crittenden has handed control to his son Rollo and daughter Zoe, who have continued his passion for exploring the possibilities of introducing new grape varietals. Garry is recognised of being the first Australian winemaker to make commercial quantities of such Italian wines as barbera, nebbilio, docetto and sangiovese and his son and daughter have continued that pioneering tradition by introducing some Spanish grape varieties. Garry Crittenden was inducted as a Melbourne Food and Wine Festival “legend” in 2012 and Rollo was in 2010 named Australian Young Gun of Wine. Rollo Crittenden said winning the BRIT/FIVS award (which he’ll go to the United States to collect it in January) was “humbling … given the calibre of our fellow entrants”.
WHAT’S NEW...
Can History repeat itself in Mt Martha? THE question being asked is “can history repeat itself in Mt Martha” with the appointment of Gary Sanford as Mt Martha Community Bank Branch Manager? With the pending retirement of Kerry Debenardi the current Mt Martha Community Bank Branch Manager on the 31st December Gary has accepted the Branch Managers position and will officially start his induction on Monday 16th. In March 2001 Gary became the inaugural Branch Manager of the Rye & District Community Bank branch, which expanded to open the Dromana Community Bank branch in 2007 and the Rosebud Community Bank branch in 2013, all under Gary’s management. This has been a success story within the Community Bank network that saw this Group become one of the largest Community Bank companies in Australia. With over $10 Million funded back to local not for profit community groups and its shareholders, we can only hope that similar success can be achieved with Gary’s engagement with the local Mt Martha community. Gary said “ The last 18 years of my 43 year banking career have increased my enjoyment of being involved in looking after customers finance and banking needs to a very high level of satisfaction. I am very passionate about the Community Bank model and how it works to provide a win win for everyone, particularly the local community.” Gary has lived on the Mornington Peninsula for over 55 years and is well known through his engagements with many community groups and sporting clubs. He has resided in Mt Martha for the last 29 years, where he has raised his 4 daughters with his also well known supporting wife Bronwyn. They now have two grandchildren and are both enjoying this stage of their lives. Gary said “ I am really looking forward to building on the foundations that have been established with the Mt Martha Community Bank,

which opened in 2011. The local company a franchisee of the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Ltd operates the Mt Martha Community Bank and is ready for me to really engage with the local community and to work with it to support and grow it’s Community contribution” Even with the success of the Rye, Dromana & Rosebud Community Bank group it is surprising that the community does not fully understand how the Community Bank model works. Gary said “Not many people know that the Franchise agreements Community Banks operate under have 80% of the profits they each make going back in community funding’s. Also, they don’t seem to know or believe that Community Bank branches can look after “all” levels of banking, including larger Business Banking customers” Nick Roberts the Chairman of Mt Martha Community Bank Board said “ I welcome Gary as the new manager of our Bank and look forward with confidence to him building on the solid foundation that has been established by retiring manager Kerry Debenardi.” Anyone wishing to contact Gary about their banking needs or how the Community Bank model works can contact the Mt Martha Community Bank branch on 5974 2483.

Common sense to lower speed limits on some roads Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s announcement of a [two-year] trial lowering of speed limits on many roads across the peninsula is a proactive move to reduce the peninsula’s soaring road toll (“Peninsula speed limits to be cut” The News 4/12/19). Speeding remains the leading behavioural factor in death and injuries on our roads, contributing to about 40 per cent of road fatalities. The peninsula has the highest road toll while roads and conditions are comparable to other municipalities. A trial of lower speed limits on some of our roads is a common sense initiative in an effort to lower road trauma. Yes, there are other areas that require addressing, however speed remains the largest factor. Lowering speed limits can increase traffic flow and road safety for users. An example of this is the recently reduced speed limit on Jones Road, Somerville from 80kph to 60kph and traffic now flows at a more even pace, including roundabouts, and entry to Jones Road from side streets is easier and safer. Coolart Road was notorious for accidents and death, lowering the speed limit from 90kph to 80kph has notably decreased both injury and fatalities. Councillors have an agenda to make our road travel and lives safer, so when we leave home we stand a better chance of returning safely. It’s easy to be complacent until road trauma strikes and a loved one is lost. Len Minty, Somerville
Speed not the issue I am very concerned about Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s knee jerk and misguided reaction in lowering speed limits across the peninsula. This year there have been 14 deaths (pray no more occur) and last year there were two deaths. Last year and this year the road speeds have been pretty much the same. There have been some road works and improvements around the peninsula along with some speed limit reductions this year, seemingly to no avail. If you look on the map showing where and who has been killed - pedestrian, driver, passenger, motorcyclist - it looks like possibly eight or more of the deaths were not in areas where the speed was 100. A death toll of 14 is way too many and I express my condolences and sorrow to all those involved in this road trauma - families, friends and emergency services personal. If only two people were killed last year and 14 this year without any reduction in speed limits, then I would suggest that speed is not the real issue. Lower the road speed limits from 100kph to 80kph by all means, but please councillors, don’t let that be the end of it. Fix the roads. Fix blind spots. Put in more ripple strips to warn road users of dangerous intersections. Cut back trees. Put signs at dangerous intersections and black spots. Be proactive on social media to better get the message across regarding driving to condi-

tions, driving to experience, being a respectful driver and road user. I can’t help but feel that the idea of cutting speeds from 100 to 80 on certain roads is a bit of a smoke screen to the real problem. If it saves one life, then fantastic, but how do we save all the rest? Paul Mercurio, Tyabb
Costly hydrogen Kawasaki’s proposed coal to hydrogen plant in the Latrobe Valley would have to be classed as the most environmentally damaging way of making hydrogen in the world (“Start on Latrobe Valley hydrogen supply” The News 4/12/19). With runaway global warming taking off as it is, we don’t need more coal burnt so that Japan can say its industry is running on clean energy. And all this because AGL, the present owner of all that coal, wants to make a few extra bucks out of its dead asset of brown coal in the Latrobe Valley. The same AGL that seems hell bent on destroying the environment in Western Port with its proposed gas import plant at Crib Point. Is it any wonder that people are fed up with our political leaders if they see $100 million subsidy put into this environmentally untenable project. Corporate welfare for the chosen ones, but people are sleeping on the street because there is no money available for public housing. I for one don’t think it is good enough to enable Japan to use the dirtiest hydrogen on earth while we are lumbered with the industrial waste of the process. Shame on both the state and federal governments for wasting taxpayer’s money on something that will harm Australians and the people of this planet. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach
Let kids be kids I was appalled to see on TV recently a hysterical 16-year-old girl representing adult climate preaching adults. It is sad that an immature girl, Greta Thunberg, is being exploited as a puppet by hidden adults. It was a distressing sight and I fear that this massive exposure will affect her for the rest of her life. Comments such as those in a letter described here as a young woman are wrong (“Young encouraged to ‘rattle chains’ of old climate deniers” Letters 3/12/19). She is a young girl. She is being fed a meal of claims that, I believe, need close scrutiny before being promulgated. Leave this girl in peace and let mature, experienced and knowledgeable adults deal with this complex situation. When adults have finally unravelled all claims and counter claims and produced a worthwhile policy, explain its desirability to students. Howard Bull, Mornington
Debatable climate When considering the current emotional debate about climate change, history shows we have always had recurring natural severe climatic events without human involvement.
Geological information over millions of years, such as tropical forests in Antarctica and the UK and sea shells show central Australia was once under water. Shells have also been found deep in UK mines. In Aboriginal times, 7000-10 000 years ago, there was a world wide 100 metre rise in seal levels from a big ice melt, creating Port Phillip and isolating Tasmania. In the 1700s, a volcanic eruption in Iceland put acid rain over the UK. Krakatoa’s dust cloud circulated the earth, temperatures dropped and crops failed in Europe, Australian droughts, floods and bushfires are recurring history. In 1921 Australian politicians and bureaucrats were eager to deny the image of Australia as being drought-prone lest this deter immigrants (political spin even in those days). Australia is prone to drought because of its geographic location. Records from 1858 show frequent droughts: the nine-year Australia wide drought from 1895; most states 1911 to 1916; World War II big drought 1939 to 1945. In the 1960s the Thomson Dam was built to “drought proof” Melbourne, with only the Cardinia dam being built since. There have been recurring floods, including in Melbourne in 1852 and in 1934, extending to Gippsland . Bushfires, including Victoria’s Black Thursday in 1851 and December 1938, with Dromana wiped out including loss of the Woman Haters Society Hall. Keith Murley, Blairgowrie
Message massage I am becoming increasingly alarmed about our social media. It seems many school students are not getting sufficient sleep because they’re always engaged on the phone or the pad until late. Other stories include children commonly being harassed or bullied on this media, some to such an extent that a few children have suicided. The trading of certain photographs is endemic among children. Everywhere you go, people are looking at the phone. Too many drivers are causing fatal accidents because they just have to look at that phone. While driving, I have nearly hit a few people stepping off the footpath in front of me, head down, looking at the phone. Even our unbelievable American president tries to rule the world and bully other governments, by Twitter. And then there are the ratbags: some fool risks his life and that of others by recording his outrageous conduct and scores a million “hits”. Or he has a singing cat and scores two million. Worst of all are the great campaigns, the most recent being the schoolgirl Greta Thunberg movement. Gullible children around the world, not understanding a single thing about the changing climate, are in link-step with this kid and her very simplistic opinions. The most wonderful gift to the wind and solar power industries and exploited to the absolute maximum. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington
End of year tidy-up Just as I was packing up the quill and ink for the festive season and putting my walking frame into 4x4 mode to go down the beach, up pops John Cain (“Young encouraged to ‘rattle chains’ of old climate deniers” Letters 3/12/19) and his
deputy, Rupert Steiner (“Call to cool it” Letters 3/12/19) with a few assertions that just need to be addressed. First, congratulations to Mr Cain, who has upset everyone over the age of 66 by putting them in the elderly bracket. But then again, with experience comes wisdom or something like that. Mr Cain obviously has no time for history or learning from the past but then again, which is what becomes of living a blinkered existence. As for his movies, yes I have watched them and, as I have said before, something needs to be done. But just like in the song, he then goes and spoils it all by saying something stupid like “islands being inundated.” Typical. Boost your argument by sensationalism. Please Mr Cain, enlighten me. What were the names of these Islands and where were they. As for Mr Steiner, well, I have no trouble with the young asking questions. I just ask that they check their facts and do a bit of homework before making statements that are blatantly wrong. Lastly, before my poor old body gives out, I’d just like to wish all readers of The News a safe and very enjoyable Xmas-New Year break. Michael G Free, Mount Martha
Unions paid off Thankfully, the union busting “Ensuring Integrity Bill” did not get passed. Do we need a Ensuring Integrity Bill? Yes, but it must also take into account the corporate mafia. I mean when was the last time you heard of a union president compromised with 23 million breaches of money laundering, counter terrorism financing laws, and “indifference” toward paedophiles and then walking away with a $2.69 million pay out? No need for a Royal Banking Commission. We need an Ensuring Integrity Bill directed specifically at elected officials and “public servants”. Anyone who thinks these people are not corrupt should consider that day in and day out they abuse our trust and expectations: Prime Minister Scott Morrison/NSW police commissioner/investigation into Energy Minister Angus Taylor, Murray-Darling Basin Authority. We need an Ensuring Integrity Bill of rights that everyone is treated equal under the law. “Taxpayers who voluntarily disclose their illegal offshore assets will avoid criminal investigation and penalties will be capped at 10 per cent and, for some, no penalties at all. While the poor sod who screws up their return in “good faith” or who is found “guilty” incorrectly by the ATO will be hounded to the end of days for repayment of $5000. Time to plug the legal gap between aristocrats and peasants As a result of union activism on our behalf we enjoy: annual leave (1936); annual leave loading (1973); industrial awards (1908); penalty rates (1947); maternity leave (2011); superannuation (1986); equal pay for women (1969); health and safety compensation and workers’ compensation (1902); unions agitated for many years to ban the use of asbestos, succeeding in the 1980s; sick leave (1920); long service leave (1951); redundancy pay, shift and uniform allowance, meal breaks, rest breaks (1973); unfair dismissal protection (1971). Union bashers, give back these “entitlements”. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Electric light battle rages in Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough JOHN Ditchburn, managing director Frankston and District Gas and Electric Company, acknowledging receipt of Council’s letter of 6th October in regard to electrification of public lamps in Frankston, pointing out there is no obligation on his company to supply current except under the terms of the agreement between the parties. His company was quite prepared to undertake this work as soon as they have an agreement with the Council for a period of years. It would be necessary to provide a separate current for the public lamps, and this would involve an outlay of at least. £100. He had already suggested that a subcommittee of the Council be appointed to deal with this matter to discuss details. He also pointed out that electric lighting companies need not supply current to a lamp which is situated more than 75 yards from the distributing main, except under special arrangement. The location of present lamps and their proximity to mains, and of any, could not well be discussed by letter. In regard to the immediate extension of the electric lighting system to Somerville and Hastings, his company was not prepared to undertake the work owing to the increase in the present estimate in carrying out the work, as against earlier estimates, made at the time these towns were included in the Order-in-Council. They were, however, prepared to consider a proposal for the excision from the Order of the area comprising DECKING T/Pine 70x22 KD ACQ ........................... $2.70mt T/Pine 90x22 KD ACQ ........................... $3.50mt T/Pine 140x22 KD ACQ ......................... $6.25mt Merbau 70x19 Random ........................ $4.75mt Merbau 90x19 Random ........................ $6.50mt Merbau 140x22 Random .................... $13.95mt

these towns in favour of the Council. Also a supply by the company of electric current in bulk should the Council be disposed to undertake the work itself. In regard to continuance of the present gas lighting system, owing to the high cost of renewals due to the condition of the lanterns, the company could not see its way to accept a rate of £4 per lamp per annum until the new electric lighting contract can be arranged. The secretary said the Order inCouncil was dated April, 1916, and was to continue in force for a period of thirty years. Cr. Oates: After ten years the Council has the right to purchase at a valuation. Cr. Mason moved that the whole of the Council, together with the engineer and the shire solicitor, be a committee to go into the lighting question at an early date to be arranged with Mr. Ditchburn. Cr. Howell thought the Council should meet the shire solicitor first to see how they stood. The company had already been advised that the penalties would be enforced if the agreement was not carried out by 1st January, 1920. The company had advised the Seaford Progress Association that it held the sole rights over Seaford, and that no other company could come in. Yet they proposed to abandon their agreement as regards Somerville and Hastings. They wanted all the fat, and none of the lean. Cr. Armstrong supported the motion to go into the matter at once and get a
definite, understanding. Cr. Latham thought it important that the Council should confer with its solicitor. If there was a proper agreement, why not bind the company to it? If the company agreed to do certain things, it should be compelled to carry them out. Cr. Griffeth said the Order-in-Council could be revoked. The legal aspect had to be ascertained. Cr. Mason agreed to amend the resolution in the direction indicated by Cr. Howell, and the motion was carried *** A DANCE under the auspices of the Frankston branch of the Returned Soldiers Association will be held on Saturday night, 20th December. *** NEXT Sunday afternoon the Frankston Brass Band will play outside, opposite the Pier Tea House from 3 o’clock till 4 30. *** XMAS Treat – In response to an invitation from the Frankston School Committee the mothers of the children attended a meeting on Thursday afternoon, for the purpose of taking steps to give the youngsters a Christmas treat before break-up of the school. The following ladies were elected a Committee – Mesdames Johns, (chair) Purdy, (secretary) Whitehead, Arthur, Wells, Norris, Croskell, Scarborough, and Misses Tulloch, McHugh, Gale and McFarlane. Mr Mark Brody outlined the intentions of the school committee and the head master supplied details. It was decided that a grand Christmas Tree be loaded with 240 presents,

The FAC - Give the gift that keeps on giving CHRISTMAS is always a great time of year, however, finding the right gift can constantly be a struggle. With recent trends heading towards gifting an experience rather than materialistic gifts, we have found the perfect gifts for your family this Christmas. Give a gift of a theatre experience! Theatre brings an array of emotions from laughter and joy to something moving and fulfilling. With so many different shows coming to Frankston Arts Centre, you’ll finally have all your Christmas shopping done before Christmas day. Perfect gift for a night out For that mother-daughter bonding experience, then we recommend the PLOS – Momma Mia! Musical. ABBA’s hits tell the story of a young woman’s search for her birth father. This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. There is plenty of options for the drama-lover in your family including favourite classics like Summer of the Seventeenth Doll or Animal Farm. For the ballet lover there’s many choices including Moscow Ballet’s Sleeping Beauty and for the Opera fan don’t miss Opera Australia’s modern take on Carmen. For the hard to buy for man in your life We all have that man in our lives that is a struggle to buy for however Bunning’s gift cards or the funny mugs only go so far every Christmas. If he loves to laugh or listens to music all the time, then we’ve got you covered. The Comedy Festival Roadshow comes back to Frankston with a killer line-up that will make him laugh the night away on Sunday 3

TAYLOR Bernard John 'Bernie' 05.03.1931 - 29.11.2019 Bernie passed away after a rich full life. He was a loving and devoted family man and respected owner of The Grand Hotel in Mornington since 1976.

Bernie will be sadly missed by Susan, Sasha, Louise, Pir, Cameron, Matz and Neil and his grandchildren Finn, Evie, Billy and Bonnie.
The Grand Hotel staff, and Mornington, have lost a truly wonderful man.

PEARCEDALE have slumped to an outright loss against Pines at home. After being bowled out for 85 on day one, Pines declared at 0/95 to set themselves up for a shot at an outright win. Pearcedale’s second innings went a little better, but they still gave Pines an opening to come back in and chase them down. They were bowled out for 121 of 54 overs. Pines made quick work of the rest of the day, reaching their target after 23 overs to secure a second innings victory. At Ditterich Reserve, Main Ridge and Red Hill’s contest went down to the wire. Main Ridge set a target of 231 runs on day one. Red Hill started well on day two, and at 2/102 looked in a good position. They quickly fell to 6/153, leaving the tail order with a lot of work to do. Number seven batsman Adam Slack helped with a late innings effort of 36 runs but it wasn’t quite enough to get Red Hill over the line. The Hillmen ended up all out for 220, 11 runs short of a win. Somerville had a tough task ahead of them on day two of their match

against Long Island, having to chase down 296 to get a result. Somerville put together a good team performance, with each of their top seven batsmen reaching double digit figures. None of them went on to make huge scores though, costing Somerville any chance of a win. Somerville were bowled out for 253, handing Long Island the victory. Long Island bowler Andrew Tweddle was the best performer on the day, posting figures of 7/65 off 24 overs. At Bruce Park, Heatherhill were able to defeat Moorooduc. They reached their target of 150 without too much trouble.

ROSEBUD have fallen agonisingly short of a win against Dromana. Rosebud were chasing 267 to win at Olympic Park, and got off to a good start with a 90 run opening stand. Opener Kane Donald was impressive, scoring 84. The Buds were travelling along well, and at 8/261 needed just six runs to win with two wickets in hand. Rosebud lost their final two wickets without scoring a run, dooming then to a narrow six run loss. Dromana bowler Ben Brittain took the final two wickets,

and posted figures of 6/83 for the day. A tail order collapse also cost Hastings a chance of getting a win against Delacombe Park. Chasing 259 to win, Hastings started well and were sitting pretty at 1/89. Robert Hearn’s half century helped them get off to a good start. Hastings chipped away at their target, and at 7/250 needing 9 runs to win, were in an excellent position to win. A tail end capitulation saw Hastings go all out for 255, four runs short of a victory. At Cyril Fox Reserve, Crib Point were able to chase down Carrum’s total of 257 to claim a three wicket win. At Ferrero Reserve, Mt Martha bounced back from their first innings defeat against Seaford Tigers to claim a second innings victory. The Tigers’ second innings was disastrous, being bowled out for just 48. Mt Martha bowler Max McKenzie posted figures of 6/25 off 12 overs. Mt Martha chased down their target with five wickets in hand.
SUB DISTRICT
BONEO have scraped over the line for a thrilling win against Rye. Chasing 151 to win, Boneo had some struggles and at 6/108 looked to be in
a bit of trouble. The tail end was able to hold on, and Boneo ended up passing their target with just one wicket in hand, Rye came in for a second innings to close out the day and finished at 7/71. Carrum Downs had less trouble in their clash against Skye, securing a thumping outright win. After being bowled out for 37 on day one, Skye were in huge trouble. Carrum Downs ended up making 181 in their first innings, and bowled Skye out again for 80 to secure the outright victory. Michael Flahive was the pick of the bowlers, with figures of 6/37 off 13 overs. He also took 5/3 in the first innings to round out his man of the match showing. At Peninsula Reserve, Tyabb weren’t able to defend their small total of 105 against Frankston YCW. The Stonecats passed their target with five wickets in hand. Stuart Plunkett top scored with 35 runs. Seaford were able to easily defend their total of 307 against Balnarring on Saturday. Balnarring worked hard but were bowled out for 196, well short of where they needed to be to get a win. Seaford bowler Dil Pageni posted his best ever bowling figures, taking 6/47.
PROVINCIAL
FLINDERS have held on to grab a thrilling win over Mt Eliza. Flinders had a tough day ahead of them to defend their total of 125, but started well. Mt Eliza got off on the wrong foot when they lost their two openers for a combined total of just two runs. Mt Eliza’s middle order steadied the ship, and at 7/109 they looked as if they might go on to grab a victory. Unfortunately for them, a late collapse saw them finish all out for 115, 10 runs short of a result. Despite an excellent century from opening batsman Daniel Warwick, Baxter fell short in their battle against Peninsula OB. Chasing 235 to win, Baxter had a difficult task ahead of them on day two. Outside of Warwick’s heroics, Baxter were disappointing. Their next best scoring batsman scored just 13 runs, and the side ended up all out for 190 runs. Baden Powell had a better day on day two against Sorrento, after they slumped to a loss on day one.

Miller to decide after Victory clash SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie THE fate of Langwarrin triallists Sammy Orritt from Mornington and Jordon “Kaka” Avraham from Peninsula Strikers will be decided after Saturday’s clash with Melbourne Victory. Langy gaffer Scott Miller wants to see how they perform against the third-tier NPL outfit in a friendly that kicks off at 11am at Lawton Park. Another triallist, Strikers forward John Prescott, flew back to England last weekend and won’t return until next month but Miller will make a call on all three after the Victory game. Should he want to sign them it then becomes a matter of agreeing terms. It emerged last week that Scottish striker John Baird will not be returning to Lawton Park and it looks likely that the journeyman goalscorer will head to Western Australia with his family. Baird is currently seeing out a short-term deal back in Scotland with Raith Rovers. Meanwhile rumours of player movement at Peninsula Strikers continue and State 2 rival Berwick City seems to be the destination of choice for some of the players mentioned. If Langy doesn’t agree terms with Prescott he could join Michael Hoogendyk, Oscar Marsden and Danny Brooks in a move to Jack Thomas Reserve. Big “Hoogs” isn’t locked in though as Knox and Brandon Park have shown interest. “Brooksy” may pursue a move to NPL3 and Springvale White Eagles could be an option but Berwick is reported to be keen on signing him. “Kaka” and teenage winger Matt Harrington continue to be linked to Mornington while midfielder Grant Lane is set to join Boronia and goalkeeper Colin McCormack has stepped away from the game due to family and work commitments. Former president and long-serving player Trevor Johnston has ended a 25-year association with Strikers and has joined the coaching staff at Berwick City under head coach Gerry McDonagh and assistant Shane Duhau. It’s believed that Johnston was keen on a coaching position at Strikers but was not interviewed. Strikers president Adrian Scialpi is adamant that the club is developing a senior squad which will be successful and he is keen to oversee a devel-

opment pathway that feeds from the junior club into the senior club. “We aim to provide our junior NPL boys with a readymade pathway to senior football,” Scialpi said. “We want to have our own homegrown factory if you like where we can produce our own senior footballers. “But we also recognise the need to attract talented players from outside the club.” Strikers’ pre-season training gets underway this week and a number of new faces are expected to be at Centenary Park among them former Langy and current Pines midfielder Nick Simmons. Some former Strikers’ juniors who have been playing with NPL clubs are also expected to train. State 2 rival Skye United is keen on signing striker Travis Ernsdoerfer from Frankston Pines and the former NPL youngster has trained with the newly promoted club. Skye confirmed some pre-season fixtures last week as its preparations for 2020 got underway in earnest with 48 players training on Tuesday and 42 on Thursday. Skye will play East Brighton at John Paul College in Frankston on Saturday 18 January at 1pm and 3pm, Mazenod at Brandon Park Reserve on
Saturday 8 February at 1pm and 3pm and Casey Comets at John Paul College on Saturday 15 February at 1pm and 3pm. Kick-off times are provisional and are dependent on weather conditions so please check club social media announcements closer to these dates. In State 4 news former Peninsula Strikers and Skye United head coach Billy Armour is the new boss at Endeavour United and his assistant is well-known local soccer identity Billy Rae, who has coached at Skye United, Peninsula Strikers, Seaford United, Frankston Pines and Langwarrin. Armour has joined the list of clubs chasing the signature of veteran Somerville Eagles striker Mark Pagliarulo. He was Somerville’s leading scorer this year with 26 goals in 18 games, two behind league Golden Boot winner and former Pines striker Christopher L’Enclume of White Star Dandenong who played two more games. “Pags” has attracted interest from Skye, Baxter, Rosebud and White Star and his soccer future is uncertain. “Somerville’s a quality club in fact it’s one of the best I’ve been at and I’ve played senior football for a lot of clubs especially back in Scotland,” he
said. Frankston Pines emerged last week as another candidate to sign the big Scot and contacted him to invite him to train at Monterey Reserve. “I haven’t met with any clubs yet so it’s more than likely that I’ll make my mind up after Christmas,” he said. “I do feel a sense of loyalty towards Somerville seeing firsthand the work that goes on behind the scenes and what they have achieved in such a short space of time. “That makes me want to stay and help them out on the pitch. “I had a great return goal-wise last season and I really enjoyed my football there. “Winning the club Golden Boot was the icing on the cake especially when nobody thought I had it in me to win it.” The fallout from the recent resignations of three leading members of the senior coaching staff continues and although the players and committee are united in wanting Scott Morrison, Stan Packer and Stuart Mitchell to return it’s only a remote possibility. “I have so much respect for ‘Scotty’, ‘Smitchy’ and Stan who are all good lads and a huge loss to the club,” Pagliarulo added. “But on the other hand I have so much respect for Craig (Bozelle,
vice-president), Luke (Mulder, president) and Zach (Peddersen, director of football) after seeing how hard they work for that club and how much they love the club. “But these things happen in football clubs and everyone moves on. “It’s sad for the club and the team but both parties will come out of this learning lessons and there’s no bad blood between any of them, it’s just one of these things. “I would love for things to change and the coaches to come back but I don’t see that happening.” Somerville reserves coach Dave Greening left last Friday for a holiday in the UK and will return to Melbourne in late January. There was a school of thought that getting Greening to accept the senior coaching role would smooth the waters at the club but that hasn’t happened. Last weekend Somerville announced that a group of players had committed to the club for 2020: Ash Scholes, Nathan Brown, Nathan Grimshaw, Eric Manhanong, Damian Garcia, Stephen Curd, Jarryd McMinimee and Kadison English. The search for a new senior coach and senior assistant has started and applicants can contact director of football Zach Peddersen on 0400 026 912 or email him at zach@elevationsports.com.au. In State 5 South news Aspendale Stingrays have had a few new faces at pre-season training among them Tom Lonsing, ex-Dandenong Thunder under-18s, former South Springvale and Brighton player Daniel Ogon, Lachlan Mutimer who last played for the Stingrays at under-16 level and former Stingrays junior Quinn Carter who was with Dingley Stars last season. Alex Griffiths is back in training after a year off due to an ACL injury while Matthew Self may be promoted to senior keeper as Jack Lindsay is trialling with South Springvale. New State 5 outfit Mount Martha is holding trials at Toorak College, Mount Eliza on Tuesday 10 December and Thursday 12 December from 6.30pm to 8pm. The club hopes to assemble a competitive squad made up mainly of under-20s with the reserves primarily composing last season’s under-17s and under-18s. “We have a few from last year’s under-18s who we will be looking at pushing straight into the seniors,” head coach Chris Sanderson said.

McGill looks to strike Gold abroad HORSE RACING
the stable-favourite is relishing being in work at the moment, having also won three of his last four starts. “It was good to see for an old horse that’s deep into his prep, but it’s a pretty normal occurrence trialing him between runs. It seems to be doing the trick so hopefully that just ticks him over for his next one now,” he said. The now 101-rater will race clockwise for the first time at his next start, but his trainer is confident it won’t cause much of a hindrance. “We’re a little bit scarce of options for him down here just because of where his rating’s gotten to, so he’ll go for a little trip and hopefully that’s the right race for him,” McGill said. “We have done a bit of work with him that way and I don’t think it will pose too much of a problem. I think he should adapt to it pretty well.”
By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based racehorse trainer Logan McGill is looking to reach new heights with his inform Sale Cup winner, Gold Fields, in the coming months. The last-start $160,000 Group Thee Sandown Stakes winner will head to Sydney next to race in the Group Two Villiers Stakes (1600m) on Saturday 14 December, before embarking on a potential trip to Dubai. McGill said he was “50/50” between heading overseas or staying in Melbourne to have a crack at the $5 million All-Star Mile in March. “It is such an honour for him to have an invite to race in Dubai and at this stage that is still the first plan, but we will only go if it is 100 per cent in his best interest,” McGill said. “Either would be an amazing thrill and to be honest it’s a great problem to have.” Since his narrow last start victory, the seven-year-old gelding has had a tune-up at Traralgon where he coasted to a five-length trial win on Thursday 5 December. The dominant display reinforced McGill’s opinion that
