Let’s do it: Rosie Batty and Natasha Stott Despoja launch Mornington Peninsula Shire’s gender equality strategy. Pictures: Gary Sissons
Gender equality launch ‘moving’ THE launch of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s first gender equality strategy last week was given greater impact by the presence of two women – one a former Australian of the Year and the other the former leader of a federal political party. Anti-violence campaigner and peninsula resident, Rosie Batty and former leader of the Australian Democrats Natasha Stott Despoja were guests of honour at the 500-strong function at Mornington Racecourse, Monday 2 March. Held as part of an International Women’s Day celebration the strategy launch came 10 days after the passing of the state government’s Gender Equality Act. Ms Batty described the launch as an “incredibly moving event”. Story, picture Page 3
Shire helps with essential deliveries Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au SHOPS will be allowed to accept overnight deliveries of essential items as Mornington Peninsula Shire ramps up efforts to tackle the effects of the coronavirus. CEO John Baker said the shire was determined to “work with the retail sector to ensure supply by providing temporary exemptions from current planning permit conditions and local
laws restrictions”. The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) had by Friday afternoon spread to 90 countries and territories, including China. Of the 98,370 confirmed cases, 80,667 were in mainland China, 105 in Hong Kong, and 10 in Macau. Of the 3383 recorded deaths, 3043 were in China, 148 in Italy, 107 in Iran, 41 in South Korea, 12 in Japan, 12 in the US, seven in France, three in Spain, two each in Australia and Iraq, and one each in the Philippines, Switzerland,
UK, San Marino, Thailand, and Taiwan. Lifting the ban on overnight deliveries follows talks between the shire and “retail sector representatives” desperate to keep their shelves stocked while satisfying unprecedented demand from panicked customers. “In response to the recent shortage of essential items, such as toilet paper and tinned goods, due to concerns relating to the coronavirus, the shire will allow stockists to receive deliveries
overnight from 10pm to 7am which is outside the usual delivery window of 7am to 10pm,” Mr Baker said. “After being approached by the sector, the shire recognises the importance of the availability of essential items to our community. “Working with our local supermarkets to ensure these deliveries is important at this time and we’re confident the option of overnight deliveries will be used responsibly.” The mayor Cr Sam Hearn said:
“While this shortage has come about from an unforeseen public reaction to the coronavirus we urge restraint in the over purchasing of such items and encourage our community to heed the advice of the [state’s] chief health officer.” The shire will review its position at the end of March when it is hoped consumer behaviour will have steadied and normal supplies resumed.

‘Moving’ gender equality launch CAMPAIGNERS against family violence Rosie Batty and Natasha Stott Despoja have helped launch Mornington Peninsula Shire’s first gender equality strategy. Last week’s launch - part of an International Women’s Day celebration at Mornington Racecourse, Monday 2 March - came 10 days after the passing of the state government’s Gender Equality Act. Ms Stott Despoja and Ms Batty spoke about their roles and explained how improving gender equality would reduce violence against women and their children. Ms Batty – whose advocacy has contributed to significant policy reform state-wide and, ultimately, the development of the strategy – said it was an “incredibly moving event”.
“To be able to support the launch of a gender equality strategy in my local area is extremely humbling and an emotional experience for me,” she said. “Attitudes to gender equality and gender roles have to change if we have any hope of tackling family violence.” Ms Stott Despoja is the founding chairperson of Our Watch – the National Foundation to Prevent Violence Against Women and their Children. The shire’s gender equality strategy was based on the Change the Story framework developed by Our Watch. “It is amazing to see how far we’ve come in highlighting the gendered drivers of family violence,” she said. “For an event like this to attract more than
500 people shows that, as a society, we are ready to tackle this complex and devastating issue.” The shire’s 2020-2030 gender equality strategy considers the key drivers of violence against women and identifies four actions to prevent it: Challenge the condoning of violence against women; promote women’s independence and decision-making; challenge gender stereotypes and roles, and strengthen positive, equal and respectful relationships Six areas of focus are education and training, work and economic security, health, safety and wellbeing, leadership and representation, sport and recreation, and media, arts and culture. The strategy is available at mornpen.vic.gov. au/GenderEquality
SIX young people alleged to have run down and killed 10 kangaroos and destroyed $20,000 of wire fencing at a Flinders property are due to face Dromana Magistrates’ Court on 9 April. The wild spree in late March last year allegedly involved five men and a woman aged 20-22 from Mount Martha, Rosebud, Hastings and Cranbourne. Sergeant Brendan Leihy, of Rosebud police, said the group had been charged with criminal damage, aggravated cruelty to animals and wilful trespass. Police will allege the six offenders – two in each of three four-wheel-drives – unlawfully drove onto the Meakins Road property and chased and harassed the kangaroos before running them down at about 9pm, 31 March 2019. The property owner, seeing headlights out on his paddocks, drove out to stop the offenders who raced off in different directions. In the mayhem two of the vehicles allegedly knocked down 484 metres of wire fencing while the third, with its lights out, drove into a ditch and got stuck. Next morning the property owner found the disabled vehicle and its tired occupants and called police. A short time later the other four were arrested and the six, eventually, charged. Senior Sergeant Steven Duffee said it was “not uncommon” for the gathering of evidence, laying of charges and arranging a court date to take 12 months or more. “In this case the offenders were not identified immediately and that took some time,” he said.

Shire supplies free plants to residents
Ash warning THOUSANDS of the hardy and fastgrowing desert ash tree is spreading to gardens across the Mornington Peninsula. The trees are great self-seeders and people who don’t pay much attention to their gardens are left wondering where that three metre high tree came from as the seed will have blown in from a tree up the road. The trees can reach reach 12 metres in height and, if unchecked, can be a nuisance and costly to remove. Desert ash thrive in bushland and reserve and can choke out competition from native trees and shrubs. The closely related claret ash is not regarded as being a problem.
MORNINGTON Peninsula residents can pick up two indigenous or native plants from the shire’s nursery at The Briars from 4 to 18 April. To obtain the plants residents need to show proof of their peninsula address. The plants are available 9am to 3.30pm Wednesday to Friday and Saturdays at The Briars, 450 Nepean Highway, Mount Martha. The nursery will be closed over the Easter long weekend. Details: mornpen.vic.gov.au/ nursery or call 5974 8417.
SHOWING some of the plants available free to Mornington Peninsula residents are, from left, Cr Rosie Clark with The Briars team members Kate Skvor, Rachel Devlin and Tanzin Ramsay.
Verdict yet to be noted on country ‘noise’ THE jury is still out on the precautions taken to make sure nearby residents were not disturbed by noise from a country music festival held last Sunday at The Briars, Mount Martha. Following complaints about overamplification of electronic music at an event on 16 February, Mornington Peninsula Shire said it would make sure noise levels were kept under EPA levels (“Feedback a part of noise review” The News 26/2/20). Briars manager Rebecca Levy said
the country music festival was “quite a different event [and] therefore we are not anticipating the same level of noise issues”. In a letter to Mount Martha resident Ken Anderson, Ms Levy supplied a phone number to call if noise was a problem and said the organisers would monitor and adjust noise levels if needed. “Noise monitors have been installed at three locations on our boundaries, enabling us to keep noise levels at our

boundaries below EPA requirements,” Ms Levy said. “Therefore, any noise beyond our boundaries will be significantly quieter than is required.” However, Mr Anderson said country music “still requires amplification and can’t be considered any different to rock music played on records”. “I don’t think any events of this kind are sympathetic to a nature reserve and the general purpose of The Briars.”
Mr Anderson’s opinion differs from that of Paul Wittwer, of Mornington, who last week told The News that he enjoyed seeing The Briars used for the 16 February concert (“Event applauded” Letters 3/3/20). “[The Briars] really was quite a stunning setting to enjoy the music. While I wouldn’t like to see events like this every weekend, I feel it is a positive addition to the range of events hosted at The Briars over the year,” Mr Wittwer said. Keith Platt

‘Special benefit’ will determine road bill dust, road and pedestrian safety, public nuisance and the degradation of Pottery Road. “In particular, there have been a number of concerns about the volume of truck and trailers during the quarry’s extraction campaigns and the potential impacts on road users and pedestrians at the intersection of Pottery Road and Jones Road,” Mr Pocock said. He said traffic counts had shown there were up to 280 truck and trailer movements a day “during a recent extraction campaign”. Earlier in 2017, Rob Gerrand was appointed inaugural head of the Peninsula Quarries Community Engagement Group (PQCEG). Established by peninsula Quarries, the group lists its aims as helping Peninsula Quarries “to consult with the local community … identify community attitudes and expectations” as well as reviewing and analysing its complaints register and establishing a community grants program.
Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au PROPERTY owners will be billed for safety works at the intersection of Pottery and Jones roads, Somerville. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors have authorised a special charge scheme to help pay the estimated $565,000 needed for the “high risk” works. The shire will pay 35 per cent of the cost with the rest being apportioned among property owners seen to benefit from the works. However, unlike most special charge schemes which are based on road frontages, the apportionment will be judged on properties seen to be receiving a “special benefit”. Peninsula Quarries, established by Bayport Industries in July 2017, operates a clay and stone quarry at the end of Pottery Road (“Growing discontent over clay quarry” The News 16/3/16). The December 2019/January 2020 issue of Sand & Stone magazine (published by the Construction Material Processors Association) says the clay quarry has been owned by Bayport since 1995. “Whilst the quarry itself is still in its infancy stages, the site has well and truly matured since quarrying commenced in the 1950’s. The site was originally identified, and used to produce pottery and clay-based products until the early 90’s. With the introduction of PVC and synthetics during that period the requirement for the clay and pottery-based material dissipated and the business was acquired by Bayport,” the article states. The shire’s traffic and transport team leader Ed Pocock in a report to councillors in November 2017 said concerns had been raised about noise,

Breaking down the barriers A MOUNT Martha woman living and volunteering in Cambodia over the past year will represent the Australian Youth Voice at the UN Commission on the Status of Women in New York. Then, after returning from New York, she will head to Austria to complete an internship with the Australian Embassy and Australian Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Vienna. The New York conference, originally to be held this month (March), was last week postponed until July because of the caronavirus outbreak. Travel has become a constant factor in the life of Hannah Callow, who wants to use her Global Voices Youth Scholarship to inspire other young people in the community to “think globally”. The 64th UN Commission on the Status of Women is a week-long scholarship program of discussions and side events at which Ms Callow will be able to discuss challenges facing women with leaders in the gender equality field. Through a fellowship program, she will complete a policy paper on the power of informal financial literacy education aimed at improving rural women’s workforce participation through entrepreneurship. Ms Callow spent most of last year as a skilled volunteer at the Women’s Resource Centre at Siem Reap, Cambodia. Through the Australian Volunteers Program she hopes to highlight the similarities of issues faced by women across the Indopacific region. The resource centre offers free classes to disadvantaged women and
Nominate a place of heritage significance on the Peninsula Mornington Peninsula Shire is committed to ensuring properties of identified heritage significance are protected. As such, the Shire has commissioned a staged review of heritage places across the Peninsula to identify any gaps in previous studies and include notable modernist buildings. In 2020, the Shire will commence a review of the final area covering the majority of the Cerberus, Red Hill and Watson Wards. Any interested community member can nominate a heritage place in the study area for assessment by the appointed heritage consultants.
Closing soon
How to nominate a heritage place If you have a nomination, please forward to: heritage@mornpen.vic.gov.au

women entrepreneurs on such topics as financial literacy, positive parenting, women’s health and women’s rights and gender. Ms Callow said she was excited at the prospect of exploring the application of this model to rural communities in Australia. “I am studying a masters of sustainable tourism management because I’m interested in how one of the world’s largest industries can be used to create sustainable employment for marginalised groups,” she said. “This policy fellowship is an excellent opportunity to examine female empowerment through the breaking down of barriers to workforce participation.” Ms Callow has continued her studies via distance education through Central Queensland University, which
is sponsoring her scholarship. She is an advocate for responsible volunteering. “Though well intentioned, Third World tourism and, in particular, ‘voluntourism’, often causes more harm than good to local communities,” she said. “Studying sustainable tourism while participating in long-term skilled volunteering has taught me how we can best support developing countries through responsible volunteering. “Staying for longer and focusing on building the capacity of local staff is key to sustainable development.” Ms Callow said Global Voices was a youth-led Australian not-for profit committed to developing the next generation of leaders by providing practical experience in policymaking, international relations, and diplomacy.

‘Endangered’ wine helps turtles Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au IT may sound a bit biblical, but a Mornington Peninsula wine is being turned into turtles. The wine is labelled “endangered” and some of its sales profits are helping turtles survive in North Queensland. However, while wine maker Garry Crittenden’s commitment to “saving” the endangered grape variety arneis has now been abandoned, its loss is the turtles’ saviour. Mr Crittenden’s grandson Oscar became concerned at the threat plastic posed to turtles after being inspired by Molly Steer, the "straws no more” campaign girl who lives in Cairns. When Mr Crittenden decided to stop making wine from the arneis grapes growing at his family’s Dromana vineyard, he told Oscar some of the profits from the final vintage could go to the turtles. Oscar promptly designed a label around a piece of art he created at school (Peninsula Grammar School) for the final “endangered” vintage - 80 dozen bottles - which quickly sold out. In January, Oscar presented Jennie Gilbert, manager of the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre on Fitzroy Island, with $1750 raised from the wine sales and $250 from the Bendigo Community Bank's Rye branch. He also handed his original turtle artwork to his hero, Molly Steer. Deciding to stop producing wine from arneis grapes has been disappointing for Mr Crittenden who, in the mid-1990s, was the first person in the Southern Hemisphere to plant them outside Piedmonte, Italy. The resulting wine “became quite a popular contributor to our reputation as Italian pioneers in Australia”, he said. “Over the years more commonplace varieties gradually supplanted arneis in popularity. In the past decade the area planted here has shrunk to the point where it is now endangered as a viable
Have your say The future of parking on the Peninsula We’re all impacted by the availability and location of parking on the Peninsula. That’s why Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is working to understand and improve current parking arrangements for residents, businesses, workers and visitors.
Oscar’s delight: Nine-year-old Oscar Crittenden is playing a part in protecting sea turtles from plastics with the help of his grandfather, Garry, top, after being influenced by Molly Steer, the “straws no more” campaign girl.
proposition, hence the name on the label. “The turtle population on the coast of eastern Australia is also endangered, in part due to climate pressure, but particularly due to its exposure to plastics in the ocean, mainly plastic drinking straws. “Oscar is determined to slow the decline of turtles and restore their safe habitat, so we dreamt up our alliance whereby I made a batch of arneis from our vineyard and Oscar donated the use of his now well-known piece of turtle art for use on the label.” While arneis vines have been grafted to produce the ever-popular chardonnay, the turtles will hopefully survive unchanged for generations to come.
To make sure this project recognises the core needs of the community, Stakeholder Reference Groups are being set up in Hastings, Rosebud and Mornington. The Groups will help Council identify the most pressing parking concerns and opportunities. If you live, work or own a business in any of these townships, you can get involved to help shape the future of parking on the Peninsula.

THE line from the Mel Gibson movie Mad Max was used by members of Somerville highway Patrol last week when they farewelled their last Holden V8. After countless patrol hours on peninsula roads, 1LY7GG was taken back to VicPol’s transport branch at Brunswick to be decommissioned. Its replacement is a police-only model of the Mercedes Benz E400D wagon, which police say has almost twice as much power as the showroom version. The police-pack Mercedes has the same acceleration as the Holden Commodore V8, but uses only about one-third of the fuel because of its hi-tech diesel engine. An advanced all-wheel-drive system also provides superior grip in the wet.
The changeover coincided with the announcement by General Motors that it was withdrawing the Holden brand from sale in Australia. “This completes our transition to an allEuropean fleet of eco-friendly high performance BMWs, Volkswagens and Mercedes,” Somerville Highway Patrol officer-in-charge Senior Sergeant Phil Hulley said. “Those doing the wrong thing on our roads will get an up-close-and-personal look at them in their rear-view mirror.” The fleet, as well as cars from police stations throughout Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula, took part in state-wide road policing Operation Arid over the Labour Day long weekend.

WHAT’S NEW...
The Mornington Great Outdoor and 4x4 Expo high price of today’s caravans and camper trailers, but they have always kept in step with inflation. When you look carefully at the improvements in design, technology and the excellent modern materials and accessories used in today’s models, you will see that most of them represent real value for money. On the whole what you get is what you pay for, but the caravan industry today is competitive enough for a little shopping around to be worthwhile. Caravan, Motorhomes and camping expos where manufacturers and dealers are all together in one place, can become very generous offering impressive discounts and “show specials”. By visiting The Mornington Great Outdoor and 4x4 Expo, hopefully this will help you to decide on what type of caravan, motorhome or camper trailer you need, and help you make an informed decision. We Look forward to seeing you all at The Mornington Great Outdoor and 4x4 Expo.
THE Great Outdoor Expos Exhibition Manager, Richard Hiscock, has some great advice for all caravan and camping enthusiasts. Mr Hiscock says “if you are considering taking time to explore Australia’s great outdoors, then buying your own caravan, Motorhome or camper trailer is a great option”. But when you look at the size and the extent of the range, it’s easy to get a bit confused and overwhelmed. By asking yourself these questions, you will be guided to choosing something that’s right for you. What do you intend to do with it? Don’t just think about the first trip, plan forward a couple of years; will your caravan/camper/Motorhome be mainly used for weekend escapes? Is it for family holidays with the kids? Is it for the fulfilment of a lifelong dream – the trip around Australia that may take months or even years to complete? The purpose will determine whether it be a caravan, Motorhome or camper trailer and it’s size and configuration. How are you going to tow the caravan or camper trailer? You need to check the tow capacity of your current vehicle as this will set a maximum weight for your dream caravan or camper trailer. Just because you have a tow bar doesn’t mean you can tow anything you like – please check what it’s engineered and rated for. New or used?
New caravans/Motorhomes/ Campers offer all the benefits, safety features and comforts of recent design advancements, including independent rear suspension and durable, light weight construction mate-
rial. Buying new also gives you the choice to “custom build” the layout of your caravan to suit your needs. If you choose to buy a used caravan motorhome or camper trailer always buy from a licensed dealer. This is
the only way to guarantee clear title on what you are buying. The bottom line New buyers are sometimes astonished by what they consider to be the

Call for justification of bush clearing at port Save Westernport is concerned that several hectares of native bushland have been cleared at the proposed site of AGL’s [gas import terminal] at Crib Point. This valuable and protected vegetation appears to have been cleared without notice and without necessary permits. Such clearing on the border of the internationally significant Ramsar wetlands is appalling. The size and scope of the clearing is substantial. Save Westernport has raised the following observations with Mornington Peninsula Shire, DELWP and Nepean MP Chris Brayne: The extensive area of vegetation cleared appears to align precisely with the area marked out in AGL’s plans for its proposed Mercaptan injection plant. During initial phone calls to the port authority responsible for the site, we were told this was carried out to protect the area from bushfire (a very strange time of year for bushfire prevention). If, as the port authority claims, the vegetation was cleared to protect the area around the jetty from fire, it seems unusual that other areas of vegetation adjoining the jetty have been left uncleared. The port authority notified the Port of Hastings community consultation committee that the clearing was for routine fire protection, but also stated: “The extent of the clearing has exceeded our expectations and we are investigating the matter further. If we had known the extent of clearing beforehand we would have informed the community consultation committee in advance.” The area was the known habitat of echidnas and threatened bird species. Yet no wildlife assessment appears to have taken place. The AGL proposal has been widely rejected by peninsula and Western Port residents due to the many potential impacts of both the proposed facility at Crib Point, and the connecting pipeline to Pakenham. The port authority must be upfront and transparent on this incident and its dealings with AGL. Julia Stockigt, secretary Save Westernport
Protect environment A meeting is being held to detail Hillview Quarries’ plan to open a new quarry on Arthur’s Seat where 80 acres of biolink bushland will be cleared (“Meeting to ‘stop’ the quarry” The News 3/3/20). There is no mention of how our flora or, more importantly, fauna will be impacted by this land clearing or how our now endangered koalas will be affected. The application is before state Planning Minister Richard Wynne. Also, measures are being proposed to protect endangered wildlife on the Mornington Peninsula by Mornington Peninsula Council, first step a hospital (“Forum to focus on koala survival, animal hospital” The News 3/3/20). Cr David Gill states there is a need for a koala

survival master plan. He wants to engage with a wider audience on the protection of koalas and koala habitat. Well, let’s start with the protection of Arthur’s Seat (no mention of that in Cr Gill’s survival master plan). What use is this so-called hospital if land clearing by Hillview Quarries is able to go ahead? Surely the first step is to protect the environment, land, trees, whatever you would like to call it, where our endangered animals live, including our beloved koalas. Talk about the cart before the horse. But what else would you expect from a council and state government who put profit before wildlife. Judy Martin, McCrae
Mistrusting contributions Following the routing by the local community concerning the proposed putrescible land fill tip at the Old Pioneer quarry site on Boundary Road, Dromana some years ago, the Ross Trust is at it again. It is proposing to clear up to 36 hectares of primary forest sandwiched between two sections of the Arthurs Seat State Park to make a quarry that has the potential to become the largest industrial site on the Mornington Peninsula. The quarried rock is not required by the greater Victorian community. Larger and more accessible reserves of granite are available to the north and east of Melbourne, closer to proposed future infrastructure sites and on land that has already been cleared. Despite having assets in excess of $50 million (Ross Trust annual report 2018-19) that could be dispersed to worthy causes, the trust will destroy the biolink that runs from Cape Schanck via Arthurs Seat and over towards Western Port. The void created will obliterate the only permanent water on the escarpment and create an unmissable eyesore for those travelling down the Mornington Peninsula Freeway. This application has already been knocked back by both the shire and VCAT. Despite this, a direct application has been made to the state planning minister (an environmental effects statement is probably within six months of completion). At the same time, the Ross Trust commenced donating to local environmental groups, having shown little interest in them over the previous 50 years. Calculating? Complicit? Cynical? I believe that the trustees will completely ruin bushland that deserves permanent protection for posterity. Wilga Kottek, Main Ridge
‘Hideous poison’ What kind of depraved human could create, and use, a poison that causes the agony inflicted on rabbits at Peppers Moonah Links Resort (“Drive to rid golf courses of rabbits” The News 11/2/20)? Pindone, the hideous poison currently being
SAVE Westerport says clearing near Crib Point jetty appears to be for a gas import terminal rather than fire prevention. Picture: Supplied used to bait rabbits, “kills by interfering with blood clotting, causing fatal hemorrhages”, writes Keith Platt. “Scientists from the NSW Department of Primary Industries estimate it takes 10 to 14 days for rabbits to die… “During that time the animals bleed from the nose, mouth, eyes and anus, and pain from bleeding in internal organs, muscles and joints that lasts for several days before they die.” Pindone also inflicts this agony on “wallabies, kangaroos, possums, antechinus, bandicoots, owls and other birds of prey”. And this so humans can play a damned game. Heather Kennedy, Seaford.
Cancer cause Even a $9 million dollar program to put a positive spin on 5G is not going to change the truth - 5G causes cancer ($9m ‘5G is safe’ message” The News 25/2/20). I’m not too concerned for myself, my concern is for the young, and for those not yet born that would be exposed to the awful levels of radiation which are used for 5G. Graeme Willis, Mount Eliza
Gender equality I want to commend the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council for launching its gender equality strategy in celebration of International Women’s Day. The strategy is one of the requirements of the Gender Equality Bill, which was passed in the state parliament recently, and the shire has preempted this legislation. To quote from the strategy: “Gender equality does not result form erasing gender difference, it occurs when people’s rights responsibilities and opportunities are upheld and not dependent on their gender.” We should all be able to achieve in the way we choose without having to be forced into behaving according to rigid gender stereotypes. As the strategy points out, gender inequality is also one of the main drivers of family violence. The shock and horror at the horrific murder of a women and her three children in Queensland has again shown us that we must do everything we
can to stop the scourge of family violence. The council’s gender equality strategy is an excellent step forward in achieving this. Marg D’Arcy, Rye
Life-changing stroke Stroke can be cruel and it can change a life in an instant. This devastating disease can take away things we take for granted each day like walking and talking, showering and eating independently. It can render simple, yet precious moments like dropping the kids at school, baking a cake or going for a Sunday drive almost impossible. One in four people globally will have a stroke in their lifetime – and the number of working age people impacted by stroke is increasing. While time-critical treatments have improved stroke outcomes in recent decades, there’s no doubt recovering from stroke can be a long and challenging process both physically and mentally. Loved ones can profoundly feel the impact of stroke too, with many taking on the role of carer, while juggling family responsibilities, medical appointments and life in general. The changes are sudden and often stressful. While this new life can feel isolating and frustrating, I want people with stroke and their families to know you are not alone. Stroke Foundation has a free service called StrokeLine (1800 787 653). StrokeLine is there to help those who survive stroke and their families to find the support services needed to live well. The phone calls are confidential and the team understands issues are varied and sometimes even hidden like anxiety, fatigue, sensory difficulties and depression. Please remember help after stroke is a phone call away, no matter whether you have been home from hospital for a week or a decade. You do not have to go through this alone. For crisis support, Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week 13 11 14. If you think someone is having a stroke, call triple zero (000) immediately. The best outcomes are achieved when stroke is treated quickly. Sharon McGowan, CEO Stroke Foundation

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
A daring outrage - the criminal caught averted a tragedy by a few seconds, and that the diabolical fiend had glided away, on his timely approach, and emerged about two chains away on the road just as Mr Jennings arrived at the same place. The culprit dashed off up Baxter St and a long chase up the sandy road and past the Roman Catholic Chapel ensued. Mr Jennings gained to within ten yards of him, and the capture seemed certain, when the follow hurled himself through the railway fence and down the big cutting. His pursuer somewhat puzzled at first, followed him but, on reaching the top of the far side found he had disappeared into the ti-tree nearby. Mr Jennings then searched the scrub towards the railway station, but seeing nothing of the fugitive, he phoned from the station to the Station Master at Seaford giving particulars and a description of the culprit. The station master replied, “The scoundrel shall pass Seaford neither by road or rail” and Mr Page meant what he said. Meanwhile Constable Dybald discovered that the fellow had gone from the scrub near the railway bridge, and from that moment the constable was so ubiquitous that, as one man said afterwards “you’d think there were seven Dybalds on the job.” Senior-Constable Bray organised a party, and scoured the country in another strategic locality. Mr Parker did splendid work with his motor car and was preparing to drive off home after dropping, the two officers at the police station, when the
Compiled by Cameron McCullough LAST Tuesday afternoon, Frankston was thrown into a frenzy of excitement, when it became known that a most diabolical attempt at outrage had been made upon a little girl of ten years. The State school boys were playing a cricket match in the Park, and when the school was dismissed for the day, the other children ran down to the park to see the game. The Head Teacher (Mr Jennings) was umpiring at the time, and a little girl dashed impetuously to him and said, “A strange man has dragged one of the girls into the scrub and she is crying out!’’ Mr Jennings called both teams to him, dispatched two boys on bicycles to the police, and in less than half a minute, the cricketers, followed by over a hundred other children, scattered and were dashing through the scrub in feverish haste. The search was fruitless until Jack Matson, noticing that a very dense portion had been missed, called to Eric Johnson and Leslie Ryan to help him search it. Immediately afterwards Matson heard a cry and dashing forward found the girl just raising from the ground and pulling at a handkerchief that gagged and blindfolded her. Aided by his two plucky followers, he assisted her out to the road, and very soon over fifty friends were around her. The thankfulness and relief was great when it was finally ascertained that the half-frantic child was otherwise absolutely unharmed. Matson, as a mate said, had “used his nut” but he did not know that he had
senior called out “Stop Parker! Seaford! 50 miles an hour!” Seaford’s S.M. had kept his word, and the “suspect” who gave the name of Leach, was soon under lock and key, and Frankston mothers heaved a sigh of relief. Leach appeared before Mr Lasslett, J.P. and was remanded till next Monday. *** THE monthly meeting of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute Committee was held on Monday. Present: Cr. Mason (president), Cr. Oates, Messrs. Wheeler, Lasslett, W. W. Young, Wilcox, W. C. Young, and the secretary, Mr. C. Dalman. The president extended a welcome to Mr. Wilcox as a new member of the committee. Reference was made to complaints received in connection with unruly conduct of young people at picture shows held in the hall, and it was resolved to take action to ensure the comfort of adults who went to the “movies” for an hour’s enjoyment. The action of the president in loaning forms to the Frankston State school was endorsed. Authority was given to have about two dozen chairs repaired. *** BOWLERS will be interested in the Dunlop rubber bowls now on view at Messrs. G. E. Rogers and Sons Frankston. These bowls, said to be equal to wood or excible, are £5/5/- per set of four, or £2/12/6 per pair. We note that Mr. L. G. Rogers was elected in the Mordlialloc team on

Wednesday last to play in a competition against Camberwell. *** THIS week’s “Table Talk” announces the engagement of Miss Edith Mason, youngest daughter of Mr W. Mason (ex-sergeant of Police) and the late Mrs S Mason, of “Masonbrook”, Blythe St., Brunswick, to Mr Leslie Rogers, (late A.I.F.), eldest son of Mr and Mrs. G. E. Rogers, “Sophiaville”, Honor Avenue, Frankston. *** WE are pleased to state that Cr H. E. Unthank is making a great recovery. *** THE death occurred Wednesday last, at the Melbourne Hospital, of Mr. W. Martin, of Somerville, after a short illness. Deceased was highly respected. The annual meeting of the Somerville Mechanics’ Institute adjourned last night till the 11th inst, as a mark of respect. *** THE members of the Frankston branch of the R.S.S.I.L.A. entertained representatives of the Mornington Racing Club Committee at a “smoke night’’ in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Saturday night last. Other guests present included the gentlemen who had provided a guarantee fund of £260 to ensure the recent race meeting against loss. Crs. Oates and Wells represented the shire council, and in addition to prominent officials and committeemen of the Mornington Racing Club a large number of returned soldiers attended from the adjoining town. It was a gay company, numbering
upwards of 100 that sat down to the “festive board.” The 2 tables were most artistically arrayed by Mrs. Wilcox, Mrs. Dalman, and Miss Gregory, and fairly groaned under the excellence of good things provided. Mr. A. G. .Wilcox; president of the Frankston branch of the R.S.S.I.L.A., presided. Apologies were received from Messrs H. Masterton and H. J. McCulloch. Before proceeding with the lengthy programme the company rose and maintained an impressive silence for some moments out of respect to the fallen. The toast of “The King” having been duly honoured, the president proposed “The Mornington Racing Club.” He referred to the sportsman-like manner in which the Club had helped the Frankston Soldiers’ Memorial movement. From the very first the committee had received the proposal to hold a benefit race meeting on their course with the warmest enthusiasm, and the magnificent success attained bore testimony to their sincerity of purpose. The Frankston returned soldiers were under a deep debt of gratitude to the Mornington Racing Club for the helping hand thus extended to this soldiers’ movement. Mr Wilcox specially thanked the Club’s secretary for the untiring energy displayed in bringing the race meeting to a successful issue. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 March 1920

Mornington fall short, Jewell scores another big total By Brodie Cowburn
PENINSULA
LONG Island have taken the chocolates against Heatherhill in a high scoring one day clash. Heatherhill chose to bat first, and played well. Kristian Miller was their best performer, scoring 95 runs before being run out. After their 40 overs, Heatherhill finished at 7/198. Long Island got off to a good start in their run chase, with opener Nick Jewell in fine form. Jewell scored 94 runs before being caught out. The score is his fourth in the nineties for the season. Long Island ended up reaching their target with six wickets in hand and three overs left to play. Somerville had a tough day at home, falling to a defeat against Red Hill. The home side ended up all out for 135. Adrian Ridout scored a half century and was Somerville’s best. Tom Collett was Red Hill’s best bowler, posting figures of 3/12. Red Hill’s run chase got off to a nightmare start, with both openers being dismissed for ducks. Their middle order managed to steady the ship, with Simon Dart scoring 58. Red Hill reached their target with six wickets in hand. At Eric Bell Reserve, Pines managed to easily defend their total of 170 against Moorooduc. They won by 63 runs. Main Ridge smashed Pearcedale on Saturday, claiming the win by nine wickets. Oliver McEncroe posted figures of 5/14 for the victors.
DISTRICT
MOUNT Martha managed to snatch a thrilling win over Rosebud on Saturday, Rosebud chose to bat first, and put 131 runs on the board. Billy Quigley was their best with the bat, scoring 51. Mount Martha’s run chase started well, but a massive middle order collapse put their chances in jeopardy. From 1/64 they fell to 7/75. Still needing 57 runs to win, Mount Martha’s tail order stood up. Matthew Pollock’s late score of 30 not out got his side over the line by one wicket. Nathan O’Sullivan posted figures of 4/12 for Rosebud. At Roy Dore Reserve, Carrum
Agonisingly close: Mornington fell just four runs short of a win against Flinders. Picture: Andrew Hurst
scored a win over Dromana. Dromana were sent in to bat first, and were bowled out for 125 runs. Carrum opener Shaun Foster got things started in the right way, scoring 43 before being bowled out. They scored at a steady pace, and ended up getting the victory with six wickets to spare and five balls left to play. At Cyril Fox Reserve, a half century from Henry Dolphin helped Crib Point score the win over Hastings. The Magpies scored 177. Hastings couldn’t get close in their run chase, and ended up all out for 100. Delacombe Park smashed the Seaford Tigers by eight wickets on Saturday.
SUB DISTRICT
CARRUM Downs grabbed a narrow two wicket win over Rye on Saturday. Opener Jordan Blades got things started well for Rye, scoring 64 runs before losing his wicket. His side end-
ed up being bowled out for 162. Carrum Downs put on a good team performance, with most of their batsmen making contributions. They ended up reaching their target with an over to spare and just two wickets in hand. It was a good day for Tyabb on Saturday. They had to work hard, but they managed to get the better of Ballam Park. Ballam Park chose to bat first and set the Yabbies a total of 172 to chase down. Tyabb opener Nick Taranto scored 48 before retiring. Paul Nelson was also impressive, scoring 55. The Yabbies ended up securing the win with two overs left to play. Skye weren’t able to get a win on their home deck, falling to Balnarring. The home side set a target of just 113, which their opponents chased down with ease. At Kananook Reserve, Seaford were smashed by the Stonecats. Frankston YCW chased down a target of 67 with eight wickets in hand. Stuart Plunkett
did most of the damage to Seaford, posting figures of 4/13.
PROVINCIAL
MORNINGTON have fallen agonisingly short of a win against Flinders. BA Cairns played host to the two sides on Saturday. Both teams showed up in the mood to put big totals on the board. Flinders were sent in to bat first and played excellent cricket, finishing at 3/219. Three Flinders batsmen scored their half centuries, with Shane Beggs, Kane Hawkins, and Matthew Gale each reaching the milestone. Needing 220 to win Mornington were faced with a huge mountain to climb. They nearly got over the line thanks to opener Zac Garnet, who put together a massive innings of 126 not out. The knock was his biggest ever for his club. Garnet didn’t get much support from his teammates though, and Mornington ended up running out of time. They
were just four runs short of the win when their innings expired. Baxter also had a tough day on Saturday, as they fell just short of victory in their matchup against Baden Powell. Choosing to bat first, Baden Powell put 158 runs on the board. Baxter managed to keep touch with them in their run chase, but ended up being bowled out just eight runs short of their target. Daniel Di Paolo was the hero in the final over, taking the last wicket needed to wrap up the win. At Emil Madsen Reserve, Peninsula OB managed to defend their total of 133 against Mount Eliza. The Redlegs started well, and looked in the box seat at 2/78. They suffered a late collapse though, and ended up all out for 118. At Lloyd Park, Sorrento recovered from a bad start to defeat Langwarrin. The Sharks scored just 107, but managed to bowl out the Kangaroos for just 61.

Five locals left in 2020 FFA Cup SOCCER
Pines punished: Frankston Pines goalkeeper Jarrod Nardino had an eventful afternoon at Monterey Reserve on Saturday. Picture: John Punshon
By Craig MacKenzie SEAFORD United was the only local club to survive last weekend’s round of FFA Cup matches. The draw for the next round was due to be conducted today (Tuesday) as we went to press. Langwarrin, Mornington, Peninsula Strikers and Skye United all entered this week’s draw so just five local clubs out of 12 who contested Australia’s premier knockout competition in 2020 remain in the hunt for glory. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford had to endure a nerve-racking penalty shootout against visitor Brunswick Zebras on Saturday. The local outfit won that showdown 7-6 after the sides were locked together at 2-2 after normal time and couldn’t be separated after 30 minutes of extra time. Seaford had started well with young striker Conor Mcfall chesting down a cross in the 10th minute then striking his shot in off the near post. McFall had trained with rival State 4 club Baxter the previous week before agreeing terms to stay at North Seaford Reserve. In the 32nd minute Mitch Hawkins headed over advancing Brunswick keeper Nicholas Manduca and the home team had a firm grip on the contest. An error by Seaford goalkeeper Ryan Ramsden in the second half gifted a goal to Hogan Somers and Christian Smith forced the tie into extra time when he made it 2-2. The deadlock couldn’t be broken and Seaford substitute keeper Justin Holland who had come on near the end of normal time made his third penalty save in successive cup ties to send the home team through to the next round. State 4 club Chelsea was dumped from the cup last Saturday after a 5-1 loss at home to State 5 opponent Mount Waverly City. The visitors to Edithvale Reserve wrapped up this clash in the first 45 minutes and went in at the interval with a commanding 4-0 lead. Chelsea was missing key players and that proved crucial. Its only reply was a spectacular solo effort from Luke D’Alessandro in the 57th minute when he took on three opponents on the left before hammering the ball into the top far corner. But that proved of little consequence as an Evan Devlin hat-trick and singles to Mount Waverley captain James Kelly and Alec Tsementzis sent the visitors through to the next round.
Despite the loss it would be a mistake to dismiss Chelsea’s league prospects this season. Head coach Carlo Melino has been busy bolstering his squad and arguably his biggest coup was clinching the signature of striker Piers Brelsford from Yarra Jets who was second top scorer in State 5 East last season. Other newcomers were winger Will Ong from Ringwood City, ex-Mornington defender Sam Dunn, defensive midfielder Nathan Boccari from Beaumaris, former Bayside Argonauts striker Adrian Lotca and two youngsters returning to the club in attacking midfielder Abdul Mohammad and right back Josh Torossian. At Monterey Reserve on Saturday State 5 visitor Barwon embarrassed its State 3 opponent running out a deserved 4-2 victor. Frankston Pines had gone into the cup match without their much-vaunted quartet of Fijian internationals. Their international clearances were not processed in time so they enjoyed a casual stroll in the reserves friendly which the home team won 9-2. The cup clash was an entirely different matter. An intriguing mix of slapstick defending, remarkable reflex goalkeeping and finishing so bad it had to be seen to be believed made for an interesting afternoon for the 42 spectators that were there from the outset. That figure includes a handful of toddlers and doesn’t include the reserves teams and support staff who
were in and around the dressing rooms after playing their part in proceedings. A square Barwon defence playing a high defensive line invited Pines to break into one-on-ones in the first half against opposition keeper Kieran Ower. Not that it mattered as Lachlan McMinimee failed to hit the target after lobbing over Ower towards an unguarded goal then Pines captain CJ Hodgson shot wide after being put through. Callum Richardson scuffed his shot after breaking clear in the 34th minute the ball falling to McMinimee whose first attempt from close range was parried by the advancing Ower and his second attempt skewed wide of the target. Barwon should have gone ahead a few minutes earlier when Nathan Niedzwiedzki’s cross from the right picked out the unmarked Moo Thay at the back post but he headed straight at Pines keeper Jarrod Nardino. The rangy Pines gloveman was to play a pivotal role in proceedings, first with a disastrous piece of goalkeeping right on half-time then with a series of stunning reaction saves after the interval that stopped Barwon blowing Pines away. Jardino attempted to throw the ball to a teammate in first half time added only to hit the back of Barwon’s Ni Reh who turned around and scored the opener. In the first 10 minutes of the second period Barwon striker Mylton Bailey
would have had a hat-trick if Nardino hadn’t reacted so quickly using every centimetre of his lengthy reach to effect a series of point blank saves. Then Hodgson blew his second great chance when put through by Joe O’Connor and at the other end yet another Nardino save denied Moo Thay. But Barwon finally broke through in the 66th minute when Moo Thay was sent clear by Bailey to make it 2-0. Pines boss Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor exploded in the technical area haranguing his players and slamming their performance. Hodgson then discarded his captain’s armband and later Pines claimed it was simply because it was too tight and was annoying him. The timing was unfortunate. But Pines hit back in the 70th minute when Richardson went down inside the area and the ensuing penalty was easily converted by Hodgson. McMinimee should have done better with his header on the end of Cole Ryan’s far post cross from the right but O’Connor made amends when he ran onto a through ball in the 84th minute and on the bounce lobbed Ower to make it 2-2. In the first minute of injury time the elusive Moo Thay raced clear once more and poked the ball past Jardino to make it 3-2. Three minutes later Bailey iced it with a shot from close range, a fitting reward for the 17-year-old who was the best player on the pitch. In State 2 news the tug-of-war to
secure the signature of attacking midfielder Shane Tagliaferro has ended and he has agreed terms with Peninsula Strikers. “Tags” trained with both Seaford United and Strikers and last week Strikers head coach Paul Williams was delighted to announce that his club had signed the veteran. “Shane is part of the process of building an exciting squad which has a good blend of experience and youth,” Williams said. “He’s a cultured and creative midfielder who can dictate tempo and I’m sure he’ll bring his fair share of assists and goals to us.” In State 4 news Baxter received a bodyblow with news that central defender Matt McDermott has a fractured fibula sustained against Darebin United in the FFA Cup a fortnight back. The break resulted from a reckless challenge in the 71st minute by Darebin’s Frank Drakopoulos who left referee Jackson Landy with no choice but to send him off. McDermott had to be substituted and the veteran is expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks. Drakopoulos was given a threeweek suspension that drops to two weeks with a guilty plea. Results of last weekend’s friendlies: Langwarrin 2 (Delarno Pharoe, George Howard penalty) Nunawading City 1; Bentleigh Cobras 2 Peninsula Strikers 2; Pakenham Utd 1 Somerville Eagles 3 (Bjorn Kutschera, Jack Wyer, own goal); HMAS Cerberus 3 Rosebud 4 (Cory Osorio, Blake Hicks, Owen McDougall, Michael Durrance). Mornington’s friendly on Saturday at home to Caroline Springs George Cross was abandoned after Mornington team manager Tony McKay collapsed in the dressing rooms before the match and had to be rushed to hospital. There was no further information as we went to press. Mornington wishes to thank George Cross for being both understanding and respectful of the situation. This weekend’s pre-season friendlies: THURSDAY: Endeavour Hills Fire v Chelsea, Power Reserve, 6.30pm & 8.30pm. FRIDAY: Frankston Pines v Rosebud, Monterey Reserve, 6.30pm & 8.30pm. SATURDAY: Baxter v Aspendale Stingrays, Baxter Park, 1pm & 3pm; Knox Utd v Somerville Eagles, Park Ridge Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Mount Martha v Mount Eliza, Padua College, 1pm & 3pm.

Brideoake’s Princess primed for Sunline Stakes HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou DAVID Brideoake’s Group 1 winning mare, Princess Jenni, looks set to strike in the Group Two Sunline Stakes (1600m) on Friday 20 March after a forward showing first-up at Flemington on the weekend. Settling at the rear of the field in the Listed March Stakes on Saturday 7 March, Princess Jenni flashed home late to place behind the wellsupported Hawkes-trained runner, Wild Planet. Trained out of Brideoake’s Mornington-based set-up, the four-yearold mare has consistently struck winning form at each of her second-up runs throughout her career – a record that currently reads three wins from three attempts. Brideoake said he couldn’t be much happier with her performance on the weekend, given that she generally improves with the run. “Her run was terrific first-up,” Brideoake said. “I thought it was probably as good of a beginning to a prep that she’s had and she’s pulled up great since.” Her next target, the Group Two Sunline Stakes, will be run at The Valley, a track that she is unbeaten at (two wins from two starts) having previously won the Group Two Stocks Stakes and Group Three Alexandra Stakes, also run over the same distance. Brideoake said it’s all there for her to put in a forward showing in a couple of weeks’ time if all continues to go to plan.
“She has a great record around The Valley, she’s won a couple of Stakes race there, so we are just hoping that it all pans out now,” he said.
A trip across the border to Sydney could also be on the cards for Princess Jenni following her run in Sunline Stakes.
Perfect record: The David Brideoake-trained Princess Jenni looks to keep her unbeaten record at The Valley intact when she lines up in the G2 Sunline Stakes. Picture: Supplied
