Lucky survivours: This pair of wood ducks (maned geese) appear to be looking for the rest of the flock as they stand among a group of seagulls at Civic Reserve, Mornington. The ducks are among the most numerous usually found grazing or swimming on or near the reserve’s two lakes. Warning signs and hazard tape have been erected around the bodies of water.

Ducks dying at reserve HUNDREDS of sick and dying birds at the Civic Reserve in Dunns Rd, Mornington, may have been infected by avian botulism. The naturally occurring, but highly toxic, bacteria is believed to have contaminated waters in the lakes near the Dunns Rd entrance to the reserve.

Scientists from the state government’s Animal Health and Welfare Unit, along with the Department of Health and the RSPCA, are investigating the cause. Volunteers from Wildlife Help on the Mornington Peninsula have been collecting affected birds to stop the disease from spreading and taking them to the East Mornington vet hospital for treatment.

Most of the birds were black ducks and wood ducks (maned geese). She said the results of pathology tests to identify the cause of the disease were not yet known, but that it was probably a type of food poisoning.

No irregularities in council poll ‑ VEC

Sculpture’s future at the crossroads THE controversy that surrounded the erection of a sculpture at crossroads in the centre of Flinders may about to be revived. The work “I am” by Andrew Rodgers has been in place on the Cook and Wood streets roundabout for nearly two years and Mornington Peninsula Shire, its nominal owner, is about to run a survey to see if the public approves of the site. The unveiling of the sculpture was part of Flinders’ 150th celebrations, but its location was made subject to later public approval. Rodgers “I am” works were described by Bhakthi Puvanenthiran in the Sydney Morning Herald of 21 February 2014 as being “a series of delicately balanced forms, unfurling from a narrow base and reaching up to 7.5 metres high. They are a metaphor for the relationship with the organic, the sanctity of the individual and the relationship between the inner and outer world”. The $100,000 “I am” at Flinders is 4.25 metres high. The money was raised through donations and the decision on buying the work made by Flinders Community Association. Examples of Rodgers’ works are shown in galleries throughout the world. To have a say on the Flinders “I am” go to mornpen.vic.gov.au/ haveyoursay between Friday 31 March and Friday 28 April. Paper copies of the survey will be available at the shire’s customer service centres. To view the locations visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/ ouroffices. Keith Platt

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THERE was no suggestion the high number of votes not counted in the recent Mornington Peninsula Shire elections had influenced the outcome, a Victorian Electoral Commission spokesman said last week. Mike Lagastes, of the VEC’s communications department, was speaking after residents on social media sites complained they had been sent infringement notices for not voting when they were adamant they had. The fine is $78. The spokesman said there had “been a lot of cases” where ballot material had been returned to the VEC after the deadline of 6pm 21 October. He said there were “no reports of mass delays in the post that would have contributed to that many people sending their notices back late”. “In some cases voters may have written down the wrong date, with some even putting down November and December. Others simply said they had forgotten [to vote],” Mr Lagastes said. Apparent failure to vote notices have been sent out, asking people why they “appear not to have voted” at last year’s council elections. The VEC says the notices are not a fine but an “opportunity for people to explain why they didn’t vote. The VEC urges recipients not to ignore the notice”. Mr Lagastes said there was no evidence to suggest the result of the polls would have varied if all voters had successfully submitted their choices. “So, the VEC is confident there were no irregularities,” he said.

Voter turnout for Briars Ward was 75 per cent; Cerberus 72 per cent; Nepean 69 per cent; Red Hill 76 per cent; Seawinds 72 per cent and Watson 76 per cent. “That’s a similar result to what we experienced in previous postal vote elections,” Mr Lagastes said, referring to council polls in 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016. “Obviously people have concerns [about being fined] but it is a case of the VEC having to comply with the law. We have strict guidelines. When a ballot envelope is received we check its declaration date, the date it is received and the date it is postmarked. “We have no option but to impose fines if people’s votes are received after the deadline.” The VEC confirmed infringement notices had been sent out to 12,531 of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 156,170 registered voters. About 80 per cent related to no response being received to the initial failure-to-vote notice. This figure is said to compare favourably with previous elections. “Of those who responded, about 70 per cent were excused,” Mr Lagastes said. Those wanting to appeal a fine can apply for an internal review.

Councils step in to bail out biosphere Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

Father and son: Croquet winners Paul and Bill Manwaring, of Sorrento Croquet Club, right, with runners-up Andrew Wilkins and Peter Rainey, of Mornington Croquet Club, at left.

Croquet winners chips off same block PLAYERS from Sorrento, Frankston, The Village Glen, Wonthaggi, Ballarat and Terang competed at Mornington Croquet Club’s annual Bendigo Bank doubles tournament on Saturday 18 March. The winning pair was father and son, Paul and Bill Manwaring, of the Sorrento club. Runnersup were Andrew Wilkins and Peter Rainey, of Mornington. The tournament followed the Croquet World Championships at the Croquet Centre, Cairnlea,

and at other venues around Victoria. Croquet is played by men and women every day at the Mornington club in Civic Reserve, Dunns Rd. Association play is mostly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with golf croquet played all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturday and Sunday mornings. Those wishing to play should be at the clubhouse around 9.30am, or 12.30pm for afternoon play. Call 5976 1318 to make arrangements, or Colin Martin on 9787 1039 for coaching.

MEMBER councils have bailed out the Western Port Biosphere which in January warned money would run out by this month, April. Executive officer Cecelia Witton says the biosphere foundation has survived a “hectic” few months with the help of “our biosphere councils and others, [and] secured the funding required to meet the projected cash flow shortfall”. In a bid to secure future funding a memorandum of understanding (MOU) is now being drawn up between the biosphere and its member councils: Mornington Peninsula Shire, Bass Coast, Cardinia and Casey. Frankston Council withdrew its $20,000 commitment four years ago, leading to the biosphere’s financial woes. The biosphere is hoping Frankston will rejoin the biosphere as a financial contributor. Ms Witton told an extraordinary general meeting in January that the organisation was running out of money before a vote was taken to give the board of directors the power to wind up the “company”. That option has not been needed, although Ms Witton says there is an urgent need to increase membership of the biosphere. “It is great to be able to report on the more positive funding situation, but renewal of memberships is slow. I urge current members to renew now, because we must retain a membership base of a minimum of 50 financial members to meet the criteria for our charitable DGR [charitable gift recipient] status,” Ms Witton wrote in the latest edition of the biosphere’s newsletter, The

Biosphere Connector. “Without ongoing support from our membership, the foundation will not be able to take advantage of philanthropic funding opportunities for which DGR status is required The 2142 square-kilometre Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve - one of 14 in Australia – includes five local government areas and French Island. Listed under the UNESCO’s man and the biosphere program, it includes national and marine parks, rural agriculture and urban-growth areas. Western Port is also listed under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International significance. Biospheres are described as being “sites of excellence that seek to reconcile conservation of biological and cultural diversity and economic and social development through partnerships between people and nature”. Although they have no statutory powers biospheres are seen as being “ideal learning sites to test and demonstrate innovative approaches to sustainable development and conservation on a regional scale”. The Western Port Biosphere says it “works with the community to create a better future for the Western Port Biosphere Reserve—environmentally, socially and economically. We do this through research, education, community engagement, partnerships and on-ground conservation efforts”. Projects it has undertaken include Growing connections (habitat corridors); Water stewardship; Protecting Ramsar values; Watson Creek, Somerville; and the Southern brown bandicoot recovery program.

Singing journalist does Sinatra his way VETERAN journalist and singer Barry Morris feels as though he grew up with singer Frank Sinatra. “His music has been a background musical score to my life,” Morris, a former jazz writer and sub-editor with Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph, said this week. Two years ago, he and his wife Jill moved to Mt Martha to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Born in 1941, Morris says he became aware of The Voice when Sinatra was recording hit after hit for radio, well before the advent of television. “It was his years with Capitol Records from 1952 to 1962 that he recorded some of his finest work on albums such as Songs for Young Lovers, In the Wee Small Hours, Come Fly with Me and Come Dance with Me,” Morris said. “It was only later that I realised what a superb singer he was. Of course, he worked with, and was influenced by, some of the great jazz musicians of the day. “I like the quote attributed to Bing Crosby, ‘Frank Sinatra is a singer who comes along once in a lifetime, but why did it have to be my lifetime?’” Morris, who used to sing at Soup Plus, the former jazz restaurant in Sydney, has “cleaned up” his vocal cords and is going for a “Thanks Frank” one-off gig at the Frankston Bowling Club on 23 April. He will perform some of Sinatra’s best-known songs as well as some not necessarily associated with the US singer.

Jockey dies during early track work A JOCKEY was found dead during morning track work at a Tuerong horse stud last week. Brian Mason, 50, was on a threeyear-old filly at Denistoun Park, Balnarring Rd, when he appears to have suffered a heart attack. Stable manager Trevor Andrews and another staff member became concerned when he did not return at 8.15am and walked out to find him slumped on the ground with the horse standing quietly beside him. He was unconscious and not breathing. Mr Andrews performed CPR until paramedics arrived and took over. Mr Mason, of Walpeup, was pronounced dead at 8.57am. He was wearing an approved riding helmet, vest and riding boots. Police said there was no sign of trauma. Mr Andrews said the jockey had been working at the stables for little more than a week. “He hadn’t worked for a long time and we were just getting to know him,” he said. “It was a very hard thing to cop. We kept his heart beating until the ambulance arrived.” Mr Andrews said stable staff members were shocked. “It was not a nice thing to happen.” The coroner is investigating the cause of death which may have been a heart attack.

Easter police beat Morris will work with seasoned jazz musicians in Neil Taylor (piano), Trevor Firth (reeds), Dean Addison (bass) and Allan Smith (drums). “Sinatra recorded some 2000 songs in a career spanning more than half a century. There was the young Sinatra,

the middle-aged Sinatra and the older Sinatra – I hope to capture the spirit of Sinatra,” Morris said.

THE rent paid by the Hastings Club for premises in Marine Parade is about to be increased tenfold. The club has been paying $4000 a year since 1996, but Mornington Peninsula Shire last week decided to bring the rent more into line with market values and how much income the club raises through gaming machines. After a long and sometimes bitter debate councillors agreed to raise the rent to $42,234 for the first year of a new 21-year lease. The club will then face $5000 a year increases for two years with reviews every five years. The shire manages the Hastings Park reserve which is on Crown land and can grant leases of up to 21 years. The club, which raises money for cricket and football clubs, has been there since the 1970s and now runs gaming machines as well as providing meals, operating a bar and function rooms. In its 2015/16 annual report the club says it is “committed to capitalising on areas of growth by exploring different streams of revenue and by diversification of its activities while ensuring that it remains true to its original purpose”. The club’s treasurer John Kercheval reported increases in total revenue of $211,000 (7.75 per cent), and gaming income by $230,766 (11.6 per cent) which gave a net profit of $199,814, up $ 44,892 (28.98 per cent) from the previous year. The Hastings Club’s lease expired

last December and its entitlement to run 50 gaming machines runs out on 16 August 2022. In her report to council’s Monday 27 March meeting property and strategy manager Yasmin Woods said the club had been paying $4000 a year in rent since 1996, although the original lease had stated that amount should be reviewed every three years. If the reviews had been held, the current rent would have been $30,250. “The club disputed the rent increases; one reason being that it considered its requirements to meet community service obligations under its gaming venue operator’s licence should be taken into account … and it was agreed to leave the rent at $4000,” Ms Woods’ report stated. “According to its 2015/2016 annual report, the club’s net profit for the year was approximately $199,000 with the gaming room operating surplus in excess of $930,000. Records indicate the club provided a direct contribution of approximately $130,000 to affiliated sporting clubs in that year.” Actual gaming revenue increased to $2.22 million in 2016 from $1.99m in 2015. Accountants hired by the shire to review the club’s financial statements said before tax profit increased by $44,896 in the same period. Ms Woods stated that clubs with gaming machines were obligated under gaming regulations to contribute at least 8.33 per cent of gaming revenues to approved community purposes or activities. The club’s rent could be included in its community benefits spending.

“The council should not be expected to offer a rental subsidy because the club has an obligation to expend gaming revenue of community services or activities,” she stated. Ms Woods said the club”appears to be viable” and there was merit in granting a new 21-year lease when the club’s gaming licence expired in August 2022. The Valuer-General Victoria – after being asked for an opinion by the shire – had recommended charging $60,000 a year rent, but Ms Woods suggested giving the club a 50 per cent discount and making the amount $30,000 plus one per cent of gaming room receipts ($22,234) for a total rent of $52,234. The ground rent (based on site valuation) would be reviewed at five yearly intervals. However, a motion moved by Cr Kate Roper and adopted by council set the rent at $42,234, which includes $20,000 for land and buildings plus one per cent of gaming receipts. The rent will increase by $5000 for each of the two following years. Cr David Gill failed to have the club’s rent set at $12,000 with $8000 annual increases until it reached $52,000 when his amendment was not accepted by the mayor, Cr Bev Colomb. After the meeting, Cr Gill said while he did not like seeing gaming revenue “come out of the Hastings community” he thought raising the rent immediately was “too much too soon”. “A lot of the money, which is being used by the cricket and football clubs, would otherwise go to the hotels.”

Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au PLANS to subdivide part of Cruden Farm in Langwarrin for residential development would see more than 100 houses built on land near the former homestead of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch. A planning application to subdivide a parcel of land withinthe 54-hectare estate has been received by Frankston Council in a first step to try to rezone land from its current Rural Conservation Zone status that prohibits residential development. The application is for a parcel of land at Cruden Farm to be subdivided into 116 lots of between 600-800 square metres. The bid to rezone the land will be controversial since state government approval will ultimately be needed to move the Urban Growth Boundary. The minimum subdivision size in a Rural Conservation Zone is eight hectares. Rural areas of environmental significance are zoned RCZ and landscape appropriate agriculture is allowed. Only one dwelling can be built in a RCZ. Newspapers tycoon Keith Murdoch, father of News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch, bought Cruden Farm as a wedding present for Dame Elisabeth in 1928. State Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne would have to agree to a change to Melbourne’s Urban Growth Boundary to allow any residential development at Cruden Farm to go ahead. It emerged last week that a Brighton-based property developer, Hamish Macdonald, registered the business name ‘Cruden Farm’ in January this year (‘Cruden Farm plan on way’, The News 4/4/17) in the name of an entity UEG Pty Ltd. Keith and Elisabeth Murdoch Trust chairman of

trustees a nd Cruden Farm spokesman Ian Evans contacted The News to advise he “recently became aware that the business name Cruden Farm was registered to a private company, UEG Pty Ltd”. “Neither UEG Pty Ltd, or Mr Hamish Macdonald, is or ever has been connected with the Keith and Elisabeth Murdoch Trust, or with the Langwarrin property known as Cruden Farm,” Mr Evans said in a statement. “On 4 April 2017 UEG Pty Ltd transferred ownership of the business name Cruden Farm to the Keith and Elisabeth Murdoch Trust.” Calls to numbers associated to UEG Pty Ltd were not returned. Mr Evans did not respond to questions about the residential subdivision plan before publication. The Cruden Farm estate was transferred into the name of Cruden Custodian Limited in 2013 and its trustees include several grandchildren of Dame Elisabeth but not her multi-billionaire media mogul son, Rupert. The Murdochs often gather at Cruden Farm for family events. News Corp’s The Australian newspaper reported Rupert Murdoch and wife Jerry Hall joined “the Melbourne establishment” in February at the homestead to celebrate the birthday of the media magnate’s brother-in-law, John CalvertJones. Cruden Farm’s gardens are sometimes open to the public and the estate hosts community and charity events at the behest of Dame Elisabeth, a renowned philanthropist, who died at the age of 103 in 2012. It is understood that part of the estate would remain available for such events. The planning application also includes a proposal to apply a Trust for Nature covenant to about five hectares of land covered in trees and plant life.

Death of Peninsula Grammar head FORMER Peninsula Grammar headmaster Harry Alexander Macdonald, passed away on 3 April at the age of 86. Mr Macdonald was the second headmaster at Peninsula and led the school for almost 20 years (1971-1991). His time of leadership saw the school go from strength to strength; it became a centre of academic excellence with an outstanding co-curricular program. Glenmaggie, the school's Outdoor Education Campus, became an important part of every student's program. The H A Macdonald Pavilion and oval at the school are named in his honour, and in 1972 he received the Order of Australia for "services to education." Mr Macdonald's wife, Barbara, passed away a little over two years ago. His death is mourned by their four children (Andrew, Ian, Sally and Margaret), daughters-in-law (Donna and Amanda), nine grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren. The funeral will be held at the Chapel of the Resurrection, Peninsula Grammar, on Thursday (13 April) with the service starting at 10.30am. Peter McCullough

Portsea beach ‘fix’ to cost $20.42m Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au RECOMMENDED ways to protect Portsea beach from erosion for the next 50 years vary in cost from $2.2 million to $32.5m. However, consultants hired by the state government say that only two of five options tackle the causes of erosion along 400 metres of the beach near Portsea pier. The consultants warn that doing nothing and removing rocks and sand bags laid to protect the beach will “result in the loss of some existing foreshore buildings within 10 years”. Of the two options that the consultants believe will fix the problem – configuration dredging or building a breakwater – dredging to create “wave reflection trenches” is seen as providing a permanent solution to the largest area. The consultants say wave heights at Portsea pier would be “significantly reduced” and sand removed from the trenches could be used to build up the eroded beach. If adopted by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) the dredging option would cost an estimated $20.42m and take three years to complete, including nine months of construction. The five suggestions made by Advision, part of the Worley Parsons group, “to ameliorate the adverse impacts of coastal erosion processes at Portsea front beach” are: n Configuration Dredging n Breakwaters

AN early attempt at holding back the waves at Portsea front beach. Picture: Yanni

Groynes Sand Nourishment n Revetment Advision said the criteria in choosing the five options included their impacts waves, currents and transporting sediment, safety, sea level rises caused by climate change and cost over 50 years. n n

“Of the options considered, only the dredged configuration and breakwater options address the primary cause of erosion at Portsea front beach,” the Advision report states. “Groynes and sand nourishment options come with ongoing sand nourishment maintenance costs. Removal of the existing protection works would

result in the loss of some existing foreshore buildings within 10 years.” Advision said geotechnical investigation would be needed if DELWP decided to proceed with the dredging option. The five options and costings follow an earlier report in January 2016 and background notes provided by

the department which acknowledged that swell waves from Bass Strait had caused Portsea’s sand loss. The department’s notes did not mention channel deepening in 2008-09, the biggest and most recent change to the Port Phillip seabed. The Port of Melbourne Corporation denied its two-year $720 million dredging project caused the erosion but two state government-commissioned reports – by Water Technologies and the CSIRO – revealed the removal of sand further out in the bay had changed the shape and power of waves hitting the beach. Reports of abnormally large waves hitting the front beach were first made in late 2008. Most of the beach was washed away in 2010 and the government then spent about $3 million to replace lost sand and protect the beach with sandbags and rocks. The authorities had repeatedly said the beach was destroyed by natural causes such as storms, higher sea levels and natural erosion (“Rocks for Portsea beach”, The News, 8/8/13). Water Technologies’ report stated channel deepening had created channels that allowed larger and more powerful waves to sweep into the beach. The CSIRO report stated a change in the local wave conditions was the likely cause of the erosion at Portsea but this could not be measured accurately due to a lack of “long wave records at Portsea beach that pre-date the erosion event and CDP [channel deepening project]”.

of sommeliers being driven around the peninsula on Tuesday and Wednesday. The sommeliers were in Melbourne for The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards which saw New York’s Eleven Madison Park take out the top spot. Tuesday’s tour of the peninsula started at Stonier Winery, Merricks, where the group was welcomed by Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association CEO Cheryl Lee.

From there the sommeliers from the United Kingdom, United States, New Zealand and interstate went to Ocean Eight, Shoreham and then to the top of Arthurs Seat before having lunch at Petit Tracteur, Main Ridge. The final stop for the day was at Crittenden Wines, Dromana, where they tasted nine wines and were told about production methods and differences between vineyards where they

were made by winemakers including Rollo Crittenden (Crittendens Wines), Martin Spedding (Ten Minutes by Tractor), Kathleen Quealy (Balnarring Vineyard) and Glen Hayley (Port Phillip Estate). n See the May edition of Peninsula Essence magazine for a full report on the international and interstate sommeliers’ visit to the peninsula.

Tourist hot spot hit by scammers Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ONE of the main Mornington Peninsula tourist drawcards has lost an estimated $40,000 in an on-line ticketing scam. Peninsula Hot Springs, at Fingal, is one of at least nine high profile Victorian venues targeted by fraudsters using the Chinese social media forum WeChat, which is used by an estimated 800 million people. The springs’ general manager Brook Ramage said the company may have lost the $40,000 in the scam over the past 12 months “plus lost business and other factors”. “It’s hard to tell the exact amount, that’s the big question,” he said. The scam revolves around fraudsters using stolen credit cards to buy tickets to various attractions and selling them through WeChat. Once banks are notified that a card has been stolen, they compel the tourist operator to refund the original cost of the ticket, plus up to $70 in fees. An extra sting in the tale is that the ticket is still valid for the tourist to use. So, the venue has to refund the cost of the ticket and pay a fee while providing a service for free. Chinese tourists make up a large proportion of visitors to the venue, which was the first natural hot springs and day spa centre in Victoria. Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry CEO Mark Stone said on ABC Radio that the scam came to light two months ago and was still affecting the bottom lines of tourist venues around Australia. He said the complex nature of the cyber secu-

rity breach meant several operators had been hit without knowing it – and that police were having trouble reining in scammers. He said nine tourist operators had lost $400,000 but that the figure “was probably much more as many had been caught out”. Another major Melbourne tourist attraction said businesses across the country should be checking their recent financial records to determine whether there had been a recent spike in credit card “charge backs”. Mr Ramage said Peninsula Hot Springs was urging the National Australia Bank to adopt tighter security measures. Other strategies include lobbying WeChat to ensure its ticket buyers and resellers are “the real deal”. Mr Ramage estimates it would cost $1 million to warn all WeChat users of the scam. Support is also being sought from the Chinese government.

A MORNINGTON man released from hospital late last week was later charged with a string of serious offences following a breakin to a Frankston North house, 3.45am, Tuesday 4 April. Detective Senior Constable Paul Roberts, of Frankston Embona Armed Robbery Task Force, said the man, 36, appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Thursday charged with aggravated burglary with an offensive weapon, aggravated burglary, assault, theft and committing an indictable offence while on bail. He was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court for a filing hearing on Tuesday 11 April. No application was made for bail. The man was taken to Frankston Hospital after allegedly breaking into the house which was occupied by a woman in her 60s, her three sons aged 25, 30 and 37, and the pregnant girl-

friend of one of the sons. Detectives allege the man, said to be armed with a hammer and a knife, unsuccessfully tried to force a security door at the property. He then allegedly smashed a rear bedroom window in which one of the sons and his eight-month pregnant girlfriend were sleeping. The couple said they fled into the hallway while the man barricaded himself in their bedroom. Two other sons went into the backyard and armed themselves with a wheel brace and chair just as the man was climbing out of the bedroom window. In a scuffle, the man allegedly lunged at one of the sons and the intruder may have been cut with the knife. He managed to make his way over a locked gate where he was confronted by another son and another scuffle ensued. The man fought his way free and ran off towards FrankstonDandenong Rd, allegedly leav-

ing a trail of blood from cuts to his head and upper body. There, he knocked on the door of a house in which Detective Roberts said a “Good Samaritan” realised the extent of his injuries and the need for prompt treatment and drove him to hospital at 4.20am. Detectives arrived soon after to arrest the man and place a guard at his hospital room. Detective Roberts said the man and the family members did not know each other and the intruderallegedly only took a pair of shoes and a bottle of cordial before leaving the house. “The occupants were both extremely lucky and brave in the circumstances,” Detective Roberts said. “It was fortunate they didn’t sustain injuries and clearly the offender came off second best.” Stephen Taylor

Privacy, sadly, is no longer a priority in banking I went into the Mornington Commonwealth Bank’s new location to discuss my finances. To my disbelief I was guided to a computer screen sitting on a bench totally exposed for everyone to see my private details and listen to our conversation. I have always discussed such private business in a closed office, which one would automatically expect. On asking for such privacy I was told in a rather dismissive manner that I couldn’t be told when an office would be available. I waited for 20 minutes before walking out. While waiting I saw one single teller at a desk with no bars or security and wondered how I would feel next time I make a significant withdrawal or deposit. Having been a Commonwealth Bank customer for more than 45 years, 25 being with Mornington branch, I am staggered at how the bank has trivialised its customers. I remember back when my financial adviser was my bank manager in whom I had absolute trust. That same manager actually paid us a courtesy call to our house one night to check that we were satisfied with the customer service. Hard to believe after the bank’s recent much publicised financial adviser rip-off scandal. Austin Sadler, Mornington

Shared project John Cain’s concept of a public private partnership pool in Colchester Rd, Rosebud has merit, however our previous [Mornington Peninsula Shire] council also had that bright idea and commissioned a study into the benefit (or otherwise) of such a project (“Public, private pool” Letters 4/4/17). Despite committing $50,000 to the study, the report does not appear to have seen the light of day. Perhaps the findings did not suit the recommending councillor(s) ambitions? Irrespective, the current council should, for transparency, release those findings for all to see. Additionally, given the RACV is constructing a 25 metre lap pool as part of its Cape Schanck project, maybe that facility could be a candidate for a joint venture for the shire to consider; on the basis of a user subsidy rather than capital injection? Given the research analysis undertaken for SPA (Southern Peninsula Aquatic centre0 indicated that 61 per cent of respondents would not visit SPA and of the remaining 39 per cent who would use it, 62 per cent currently use Colchester Rd or Pelican Park [Hastings], maybe the amount of subsidy paid by council would not be that much. Stuart Allen, Dromana

Pool the effort What has John Cain got against water safety for school children, hydrotherapy for seniors, lifesaving training for Nippers and employment for members of the local community (“Public, private pool” Letters 4/4/17)?

Now that the Andrews Labor government has mandated swimming lessons for primary students (without funding) does he expect families, many who are disadvantaged, to fork out for bus travel plus the cost of swimming lessons, to the nearest pool at Frankston which has the capacity to cater for all those children? The lifesaving clubs advise that it is crucial to have access to a pool in order to train children in the basic skills long before they test these skills in open water. The only way the local, private pool in Colchester Rd could cater for those thousands of extra children having swimming lessons and for locals who require proper hydrotherapy facilities would be to make it a high rise facility. Then, of course, Mr Cain and his anti-everything friends would be the first to complain about high rise development on the Mornington Peninsula. The southern peninsula needs a proper swimming centre for all members of the local community; all ages and all health needs. It would be so much more productive if all members of the local community worked together for a realistic solution to provide a world class aquatic centre that would service the needs of the whole community and for future generations to utilise. Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Rocks not answer Perhaps I should advise Brian Mitchelson that civil engineers found some thousands of years ago, in Europe, and more recently in Australia, that rock or concrete dumped harbour walls created stagnant water which, in turn, create siltation, sand banks and eventual blockage of the proposed refuges (“Fixing the pier” Letters 4/4/17). Witness in Port Phillip, St Kilda, Brighton and Sandringham breakwaters constructed in the 1950s and 1960s. I find no sympathy with Mr Mitchelson’s civic attitude regarding the ruination of Mothers Beach and the foreshore, the “odd” deaths, together with his often expressed dislike of sailors, young and old, using Mornington harbour and, in fact, Port Phillip and Australia’s surrounding waters for their enjoyment and recreation. Mr Mitchelson appears to have forgotten that Australia is an Island nation, surrounded by ocean, and has often used our knowledge of seafaring experience to not only feed our nation but defend it. Persistent criticism does not help those who are trying to save and protect the Mornington Peninsula as we know it. If Mr Mitchelson does not enjoy living here and being positive about the place, perhaps he should find somewhere else to live. Maybe the Simpson Desert, where there is no water. Edmund Burke, Mornington

Thanks for help I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to Morn-

ington Peninsula Legacy’s Lynne Twaites and colleagues plus Frankston RSL’s Tony for support received following the theft of my mobile scooter. As an 87-year-old mobility impaired person I was devastated and in desperation and purchased one online from a con man. It conked out first trip to town. However, I received tremendous support from these wonderful organisations I am happily back on the road with my little scooter. Once again, thanks and bless them all. Kathleen Poulson, Hastings

Smokers’ rest stop According to Health Victoria more than 73 per cent of Victorians support the introduction of a ban on smoking in outdoor dining areas. Apparently this ban on smoking in outdoor dining areas will come into effect on 1 August. So where does that leave the remaining 27 per cent? The shopping strip between Lyons and Napier streets in Rye has one public seat outside the newsagency. The Rye township plan is currently under discussion and I suggest someone take pity on ageing types like me who would appreciate a rest (and the odd cigarette) soon to be outlawed at cafes. Kindly include the proposition to add two more public seats between Lyons and Napier streets and an additional two between Lyons and Hunt Av. Or, being in the minority, must we hide in the bushes?

each as well as the government legal aid. This effectively means that anybody who has need of Legal assistance against such a client, regardless of their financial position, has nothing available to them within a large area such as the whole peninsula. In some cases it is not only the needy that have access to this service. A person with a property portfolio of several houses can have the help of this service, whereas a person who lives solely on a pension is denied help and has to place themselves at the mercy of the courts without professional help and, in some cases, allowing injustices to occur. To some, $1200 - $3000 a day may not be much, but if you survive on a pension of $900 a fortnight it is an insurmountable figure. While government funding should be increased, the system should be reviewed to stop people exploiting it at grave cost financially and mentally to others. John Bryce, Crib Point

Scouting growing Thank you, Rod Brown, for your letter regarding your time in Scouts (“Committed scout” Letters 14/3/17). Scouting is very much alive on the Mornington Peninsula with more than 700 youth members and 100 plus leaders. Numbers continue to grow every year. For information about Scouting locally call 0419 131 489. Tina Bennett, district commissioner, Tyabb

Pause before print I really wish people would read letters properly before racing to print with a reply. I let John Cain’s letter completely distorting what I had written with regard to Brian A Mitchelson’s right to state his opinion, go through to the keeper, but this week they are at it again (“Socialism needed” Letters 28/3/17). Cliff Ellen (“Wide coverage” Letters 4/4/17) writes “Michael G Free chips in calling for a return to the good old days”. I hope Cliff has kept last week’s paper. The future Cliff, not the past. Leadership Cliff, not movers and shakers. I have no problem with people with nothing of their own to write having a little try at sarcasm, but a reference to what was actually written wouldn’t go astray. Michael G Free, Mt Martha

Legal drawbacks Legal centres can be of great benefit to the unfortunate members of our community where the high cost of legal assistance is beyond many, especially those who need to survive on a government pension (“Legal centre gains high profile support” The News 28/3/17). Like everything else, as soon as these services become available some bright spark will exploit them to the fullest. As soon as a person becomes a client of such a centre it can no longer help anybody who is in opposition to that client, effectively giving this first client legal assistance for life. This also allows them to continue dragging people before the courts knowing that they have exclusive free help available that their opponent does not have. In some instances it is known of people visiting all the local centres and becoming a client of

Taking a break THE Mornington Peninsula has been ranked as the second leading travel destination for the Easter long weekend. The Great Ocean Rd came first in the listings published last week by online travel site Wotif. com. Phillip Island was sixth on the list, while the peninsula was also ranked tenth nationally. The most in demand Victorian regional Easter long weekend destinations listed by the site are Great Ocean Rd; Mornington Peninsula; Daylesford and Macedon Ranges; Geelong; Gippsland; Phillip Island; Bright; Grampians; Ballarat; and Bendigo. Wotif’s Kirsty La Bruniy said the company’s research shows shorter breaks outside of the major capital cities will be popular this year, “with two thirds of people admitting they prefer to holiday in their own backyard as it has some of the best travel experiences in the world”.

Our rental properties are walking out the door. If you’ve ever thought of expanding your property investment portfolio… Now is the time!

first time property investors, we “wereAsquite nervous going into an area that was completely foreign to us. Lauren made the whole process very easy, and reassured us every step of the way. We were pleasantly surprised when she had our property tenanted within the first week, and any issues that arose were dealt promptly and amicably by Lauren and her team. We are extremely happy with our choice to employ Lauren as our property manager, and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

“

Shae has given us excellent service as property manager for our unit. Any concerns that we or the tenant has are dealt with immediately and nothing is ever too much trouble. Every single thing is always followed up. Shae is very thorough with inspections and continually keeps us up to date. We have had several property managers in the past but they have lacked the attention to detail & wonderful service that Shae has provided. We can strongly recommend Shae to anyone who is sourcing a good property manager.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Frankston soldier to rescue as bullock enters tobacconists Compiled by Cameron McCullough SOME excitement was caused in Queen Street, Maidenhead (UK), on Monday afternoon, when a bullock belonging to Mr Webster butcher, and driven by one of his men, made a sudden and unwelcome call at the shop of Mr P. Lovejoy, tobacconist. The space between the shop and the sitting room was only about sufficient for the animal to “dissemble,” and it confined itself to where the goods were exposed for sale. Mr De la Hay, a neighbour, kindly placed a valuable case out of harm’s way, and Mr Bullock made for the shelves behind the counter, brushing down walking sticks in his progress, and stepping into a box of pipes (fortunately only clay ones), which he smashed into atoms. Having swooped down sundry packets of cigarettes, the driver knocked the beast back, but it made for the shelves a second time, and Mr Lovejoy jealously guarded the portals of his sitting-room. The butcher’s man armed with a stick, continued to do all he could to keep the animal at bay and matters would have been much more serious but for the prompt assistance of an Australian soldier home on leave, namely, Private Mackie, nephew of the late Ald. Mackie of Maidenhead, who is by trade a butcher. Mackie took the visitor in hand with such success that his hind quarters were soon observed emerging through the doorway and he was got away much to the relief of all concerned, the damage being of no serious consequence. Mr Lovejoy was very grateful to the Anzac for his timely help.

The soldier (Private Mackie) referred to above is very well known in Frankston having lived here for years before leaving for the front. *** THE Te Deum was sung at evensong in St Paul’s Anglican Church Frankston on Sunday last in view of the fact that the United States has declared war on Germany. The offertory totalled £163. *** JUST before going to press today we were informed that Mr H. Gomm a very old resident of Somerville, died on Thursday evening. *** SPECIAL services were held in connection with the Presbyterian Church at Frankston, on Easter Sunday. Rev Robinson preached in the morning, and at night a combined service was held, when the Rev McKenzie gave a most interesting address on Man’s efficiency, to a large congregation. *** MESSRS Croft Bros, of Somerville, notify by advertisement that they are now opening full stock of blankets, rings, flannels, flannoletts, wool etc., also lady’s and children’s macs and coats, besides a full range of men’s and boy’s overcoats and chesterfields. Their stock of boots is replete with all the winter lines. An early inspection is invited. *** IN connection with the Floral Fete, which is to be held on April 27th and 28th in aid of the fund to pay off the debt on the Vicarage (Anglican) Frankston, a Gift Afternoon will be held in the Vicarage Grounds, at 3 p.m.

on Wednesday April 18th 1917. The ladies of the Fancy Stall invite all who can possibly come to be present on the occasion and to kindly bring a gift on behalf of their stall. They hope for a large attendance. *** ABOUT ninety members of the Young Men’s Bible Union spent the Easter holidays at Frankston. The wet weather was not favorable for camping out but did not damp the high spirits of the lads to any great extent. The camp was thrown open for inspection on Easter Monday and a fair number took advantage of the invitation. Mr M’Leish the hon. sec taking the visitors in hand and making things as pleasant as circumstances would permit. *** INFORMATION has been received by Mr and Mrs William Membrey, Derby Crescent, Caulfield, that their son, Private J H. Membrey, has been killed in action in France. Deceased, who prior to enlistment inherited a large sum of money, was a nephew of Mr Membrey MLA. Private Membrey was a resident of Frankston for some time prior to his enlistment, where be was much respected and his death will be regretted by a large number of friends. He was a prominent member of the Frankston Football Club. *** THE “Australian” Club fancy dress dance, held in the Hall, on Thursday evening, 5th April, was highly successful. Nearly all who attended wore fancy

costumes which were both original and picturesque. Mrs Mason was successful in securing first prize for the best dressed Lady and Sgt. Aspinal first prize for best dressed gentleman. *** Death of Mr A. E. Bates SINCERE regret was expressed in Frankston on Thursday evening, 5th April, when it was reported that Mr A. E. Bates of Mornington, had met with a serious accident, through being run over by a motor car in the Main street of that town. It appears that on the evening mentioned, about 7 o’clock he was proceeding along the footpath with the intention of going to the railway station to meet his daughter, and when at the intersection of the street that leads to the station, instead of keeping to the footpath he essayed to cross over, when a car which had been going very slowly in the same direction struck him and knocked him down, the front wheel passing over him. The chauffeur stopped the car before the back wheel reached him. It was at once seen that Mr Bates was seriously injured, and he was conveyed to his home and medical aid sought, but he only lingered till Saturday morning, when he expired. The deceased gentleman was 67 years of age, and had been many years a resident of the peninsula, where he was universally respected. It was only in February last that he retired from the committee of the Frankston Mechanic’s Institute, after many years of faithful service and as a member of the Frankston Athletic Club

and Agricultural Society he was always willing to do the share of the work allotted to him. Since living in Mornington he has taken a live interest in the advancement of that town, both as a councillor and member of the Progress Association, he being an active member of the latter body at the time of his decease. He was interred in the Mornington cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, a number of Frankston residents attending to show the last marks of esteem to one whose loss it will be very hard to replace. *** Frankston Court of Petty Sessions. Thursday, 5th April 1917. (Before Mr Oates J’s.P.). Frederick Quinn, a stranger who was locked up by Const Dodemaide the previous, night, appeared to answer a charge of being drunk and disorderly. He pleaded guilty and expressed sorrow for his action. Const Dodemaide deposed that on the previous evening defendant had wandered into the yard at the back of the Pier House and entering, a tent turned in (in military parlance) “all standing” i.e. fully dressed. The police were sent for and the undesirable visitor, who had partaken freely of the “glass that cheers” was ejected by Mr Verney, Const Dodemaide afterwards arrested him in a very drunken state. Mr Oates severely lecturing accused, fined him 5s or 6 hours imprisonment. The fine was paid. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 14 April 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The twisted tale of a fruit bread inferno By Stuart McCullough I DON’T mean to brag, but until now my record has been nothing short of incredible. With little to no fanfare, I’ve been cooking toast on a regular basis with what can humbly be described as outstanding results. I can do the ‘light tan’ ghost toast right through to the soothing deep-brown shades of toast well done. I’ve mastered all the various toast-related disciplines too; like the Vegemite smear and the four-corner Nutella dominator in which no part of available surface area is left uncovered. I hesitate to use a word like ‘genius’, but when it comes to whipping up a fresh batch of A-grade quality toast, I’m your go-toguy. Or, at least, I was. I was staying in a hotel in regional Victoria. Hotels the world over may each be as individual as snowflakes but, without exception, they all serve the same continental breakfast. There are the buckets of cereal, the sugary pastries and the green melon slices. Except when I’m at a hotel, I can honestly say the idea of green melon never crosses my mind. But green melon slices remain the very foundation of the hotel continental breakfast and no hotel buffet would be complete without it. In hotels, they don’t have just any old toaster. Instead, they have turbocharged super-toasters that take Henry Ford’s assembly line and apply it to bread. All you need to do is feed bread in at one end before it disappears on a magical journey before spilling out below as fully cooked toast. It’s like magic. Indeed, it’s a wonder the thing doesn’t say ‘abracadabra’ at the mo-

ment your breakfast cascades down the metal chute into the breakfast catchment area. Instantly, I felt comfortable as I strode purposefully towards the super-toaster. Perhaps I was too confident. Toast is a fickle thing, which should never, ever be taken for granted. I realize

now that pride was at the heart of my undoing. I assumed that I’d be able to produce perfect toast as I do every other day. The fact that I’d be using the latest in high-end toast technology ought to have given me pause for thought, if not inspire me to abandon the exercise altogether in favour of all

the green melon I could reasonable manage. But no, I pressed on blindly. As I approached the buffet, I had no idea that things were about to go terribly, terribly wrong. Beside the super-toaster was a basket stuffed full of the greatest breads known to humanity. There was wholemeal, halfmeal and piecemeal as well as multigrain and so many other types of grain that you’d be at risk of serious grain strain if you attempted to remember them all. Pumpernickel, pumperquarter and pumperdollar; sourdough, sweet-dough and play-dough. But these breads all left me cold as my heart belonged to another. From the moment I laid eyes on it, there was no doubt which bread I’d choose. Were it not for the fact that the hotel was piping in Paul Simon’s ‘You Can Call Me Al’ into the dining area at a volume that was borderline inappropriate, you’d have otherwise heard its sweet siren song calling me. That’s why I chose the fruit loaf. But this was no ordinary fruit loaf. It was the kind that is cut super-thick so that it could conceivably double as an orthotic if the need arose. I lifted two pieces of the humungo-loaf and gently sent it on its way down the ramp. Soon, it was lying flat on its back as it began its magical journey along the conveyor belt. It was just as my bread disappeared into the hot, fiery inferno of the super-toaster that I noticed the sign that read: ‘Warning! Do not put fruit loaf in conveyor’. It’s fair to say that this was something that – ideally – I’d have known earlier. But having committed my jumbo fruit loaf to the conveyor belt

process, there was precious little I could do about it. The toaster may have been cutting-edge, but it lacked the kind of ejector-seat technology that might have enabled me to rescue my breakfast. There was nothing to do but wait. As I did, smoke began to pour out of the machine. It was like being at a rock concert. I could sense that staff were watching on in morbid delight. Doubtless I was not the first person to make this kind of mistake (otherwise the sign would be useless) but it struck me as odd that perhaps the best solution would be to store the fruit bread somewhere other than right next to the toaster you were supposed to avoid at all costs. After what seemed like an eternity my toast; in all its charred, blackened glory, came tumbling out. One piece was actually on fire. As I leaned in to blow out the flames, I was a little unsure as to whether I would succeed in extinguishing the nascent firestorm or would simply fan it into a much larger blaze. Luckily for me, the bonfire surrendered quickly. At that moment, one of the staff appeared to tell me that I’d used the wrong toaster. I’ll admit that this event greatly affected my confidence. As she swept up the remains and whisked them away – presumably to check their dental records before giving them a decent burial – I bade my breakfast farewell. I took a step back before settling for a plate of green melon slices. Strangely, the melon slices fared no better in the toaster than the fruit bread and I abandoned the exercise entirely. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Mornington News 11 April 2017

LEE KERNAGHAN HEADS TO FRANKSTON

Lee Kernaghan is one of the undisputable all-time greats of Australian country. 2017 marks the 25th anniversary of the launch of Lee’s amazing career and the release of his first chart-busting hit, Boys From The Bush. The iconic song was the first of many number one singles from the classic album The Outback Club, which went on to achieve double platinum certification, win a swag of awards and redefine contemporary Australian country music along the way.   Since the release of his mega hit Boys From The Bush, Lee has notched up 34 number one hits on the Australian country music charts,

won a staggering 36 Golden Guitars and has sold over two million albums in the local market. In March Lee was inducted into the CMC Hall Of Fame and also released a new album called The 25th Anniversary Album which features gust appearances from some of Australia’s great country artists including John Williamson, Troy Cassar-Daley, Kasey Chambers and The McClymonts to name a few. On the same week as the album release he performed at CMC Rocks QLD to a sold out 20,000 strong audience and deleivered a blistering show that set the bar very high for the American supergroup Dixie Chicks to follow.

Lee Kernaghan’s Boys From The Bush 25th Anniversary Tour is guaranteed to be one of the most sought after tickets of 2017. The concert will cover 25 years of smash hits and will also feature songs from Lee’s new 25th Anniversary Album. Fans are encouraged to book tickets early to secure their place to celebrate this amazing career milestone of 25 years with Lee at what will be a very special musical event.

Bombers set sights on more success PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt A MORE even MPNFL Peninsula Division competition this season may not necessarily be in store after Frankston YCW flexed its muscles against Mornington on Saturday. The reigning premiers were sluggish out of the blocks though, completely outgunned from the opening bounce as the Doggies booted six goals to one in a dominant first stanza with the aid of the breeze. At the first change, the margin was 29 points and the Doggies were in control. Fast forward 30 minutes, Frankston YCW kicks nine of the next 11 goals and turns a 29-point deficit into a 16-point lead. The Dogs only booted five goals after the first change while the Stonecats managed 13 more after the slow start. VFL-listed players Ryan Santon, Lachy Wallace, Anthony Brihn and Matt LaFontaine were all on the park for the Stonecats while it was great to see Ben Buckley back from his knee injury. Christian Ongarello was also at his best in his first game for the Stonecats while Josh Butland finished with four majors. Jackson Calder finished the match with four goals for the Dogs while Emilio Bitters and Joel Miller were outstanding contributors. Mt Eliza pushed aside ordinary

pre-season form to record a solid 22-point win against Seaford. The Mounties were average during the pre-season but saved itself for the real stuff as it had 11 scoring shots to one in the opening quarter -- the game should have been over at that point. However, the margin was only 20 points (3.8 to 1.0) at the first break and despite the Tigers threatening in parts; the home side was able to hangon to win 10.14 (74) to 7.10 (52). Shane Tennant was superb for the Redlegs in his first game while former Karingal ruckman Grant Goodall and Rohan Heasley were able to combine well around the stoppages. Jackson Mockett booted three for the Tigers while Tom Shaw booted two in his return game after a couple of seasons at Somerville. Inaccurate kicking is bad football and Langwarrin was guilty of that on Saturday against Karingal. The Kangas had 20 scoring shots to 16 but lost the match by 11 points in what was a scrappy and uneventful affair. Eight goals to three in the second and third quarters were enough to get the Bulls over the line at Lloyd Park, eventually winning 8.8 (56) to 5.15 (45). The home side booted seven behinds to Karingal’s zip in the last quarter. Michael Burke showed no signs on slowing down for the Bulls and Damien Ashcroft proved he is going

to be a good get for the club, while Michael Parker, Gerard Brown and Shane Paterson were the best of the Kangas. Pines was able to hold off Bonbeach to win its opening game of the season by 17 points. Only five points separated the sides at three-quarter time at Bonbeach Reserve before Pines booted two straight goals and kept the Sharks scoreless in the last to win 10.9 (69) to 7.10 (52). Tim Bongetti booted four for the Pythons and Shane Waterstone booted three while Guy Hendry was superb down back. Owen Hulet and Jackson Casey were the best of the Sharks. Edithvale-Aspendale booted 10 goals in the first and third quarters to wipe the floor with Chelsea, winning 13.12 (90) to 5.7 (37). With the aid of the breeze, the Eagles set up the win with six goals to one in the third and then kept the opposition scoreless in the final quarter. Mick Meehan finished with four goals for the Eagles while Will Flavelle was lively with three majors. Recruit Michael Bussey arrived with big wraps and delivered with two goals and was one of the best players on the paddock. Simon Mitchelhill impressed in his first outing for the hoops, Aaron Pawel performed well against his old side and Jack Francis was solid.

Stonecats sound early warning NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON Bombers sounded a very loud warning to the rest of the MPNFL Nepean Division competition when it handed out a 10-goal hiding to Dromana on Saturday. It may have only been the opening game of the 2017 season, but the Bombers were quick to put the horror of losing the Grand Final to Hastings last year and slip into top gear and put the Tigers to the sword. If the game wasn’t over at quartertime when the Bombers booted five goals to one, it certainly was at the main interval when the lead blew out to 53 points. Jason Kingsbury dominated the time trials during the off-season for the Bombers and he carried that conditioning through to round one with a superb performance, while recruit Corey Buchan booted two goals and was a dominant force. Corey Micari took great strides as a senior player last season and he kicked off the season in fine fashion, while Sam Fox carried over his form from his 2016 league medal winning season. The second half wasn’t as entertaining as the first as Dromana tightened the screws and held Frankston to just three goals in the second half. The Tigers were only able to boot one themselves though and eventually went down 4.7 (31) to 14.16 (100). Somerville too made it clear to the competition that despite losing a number of key players during the offseason, it is still going to be a tough

side to beat in 2017 after smashing Red Hill. Many, including yours truly, may have written the Eagles off a little too early as they ran out 14.10 (94) to 9.4 (58) winners. Justin Allsop with three goals, along with Adrian Speedy, dominated for the Eagles. Only 10 points separated the sides at half-time before the Eagles booted six goals to two in the second hour. Recruit Ben Hughes was a stand-out performer for the Hillmen with four goals while Jonah Siverson and Michael Mock were superb in defence. Sorrento went into its match

against Rosebud below full strength and still managed to walk away from Olympic Park with a comfortable 37-point victory. Leigh Poholke booted five goals for the Sharks in his return game and Nick Corp dominated higher up the ground with three majors. Recruits Justin McCleary and Aaron Paxton shone at either end of the ground for the winners. The score was six goals to one at half time and the final scoreboard read 12.12 (84) to 7.5 (47). Tom Stoffels worked hard for the Buds and was rewarded with two majors while Bart Wallace, recruited from the Yarra Ranges, performed

well in his first game for the Buds. It may yet be another long year for Tyabb after Crib Point handed it a crushing 12-goal hiding. It what was billed to be a close game of footy, the Yabbies were never in the contest, losing 18.11 (119) to 6.12 (48). Waide Symes was the best player on the ground with a superb eight goals, while a returning Taylor Stratton (knee) finished with five goals. Dean Warry was also at his magical best. There’s no doubt that new coach Brad Arnold has the Pies up and about early in the season and with weapons including Symes, Stratton, Warry

and Luke Herrington at his disposal, there’s early proof that they could prove to be dangerous. Pearcedale got its season away to a solid start with a tight win against Devon Meadows under new coach Leigh Stewart. Whilst the final margin was just six points, it could be argued that the margin should have been far greater given the Dales had 12 more scoring shots, 12.16 (88) to 13.4 (82). Troy Jacobson proved again that he is one of the most exciting young players in the competition for Pearcedale and Glenn Anderson was a surprise packet in attack with four goals. Devon Meadows led by 15 points at half-time, thanks largely to five goals each from former St Kilda player Allan Murray and Steve McInnes. Stef Baumgartner was also back to his brilliant best. Hastings had to wait until the third quarter to shake off a persistent Rye at Barclay Oval. The Demons jumped out of the blocks and led the reigning premiers by seven points at half-time before the Blues came out in the third and booted nine unanswered goals to blow the visitors away. It was goal for goal in the last, Hastings going on to win 18.10 (118) to 11.10 (76). Luke Clark was the best player on the park with six goals for the Blues while Luke Hewitt and Shaun Foster booted three goals each. Tim Churchin booted a couple for the Demons against his old side while James Appleford and Adam Kirkwood were outstanding. Mornington News 11 April 2017

Former Hearts star signs for Peninsula Strikers SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie Peninsula Strikers have pulled off the transfer coup of the season by clinching the signature of Scottish star Ryan Stevenson. The 32-year-old attacking midfielder or striker has played over 400 games as a professional in Scotland and England and will fly to Melbourne as soon as his visa and international clearance are arranged. The Centenary Park outfit is hopeful that Stevenson will arrive this week and be the first of a number of clutch signings it hopes to make in the next fortnight. Among them is former Bentleigh Greens junior Emmanuel Brima, 18, who has been training with Strikers after recently returning from a 12-month involvement with AC Milan’s youth system. English central defender or right back Michael Nugent is expected to train with Strikers this week and former Langwarrin midfielder and current Cilfton Hill player Sam Scott is firmly on Strikers’ radar. The club is in talks with two other local players but it may take another couple of weeks before they reach a decision. The local game has rarely seen such an influx of visa players and Strikers have outdone every other club in the area with the capture of Stevenson. “I was talking to a former teammate a few weeks back and Ryan’s name cropped up so I decided to contact him through facebook and he responded straight away so we’ve been on the phone almost every day since,” said Strikers’ gaffer Craig Lewis. “He was really keen from the outset and told me that he’s got a mate who came over a couple of years back and told him that it was the best move he’d ever made and that he should get over here the first chance he got.” Stevenson is from the former mining village of Drongan in Ayrshire and began his professional career as a youth player with English giant Chelsea. He returned to Scotland in 2002 and joined St Johnstone before switching to Ayr United, initially on loan before making the move permanent in 2007. In 2010 Stevenson started the first of two spells at Hearts, joined English outfit Ipswich Town in 2012 then transferred back to Hearts that same year. Since then he has had stints with Partick Thistle, Ayr United, Dumbarton and Raith Rovers and ended his professional career last month when he signed for Troon in the West of Scotland Super League Premier Division. Stevenson’s professional career

highlights include scoring both goals in Hearts’ 3-2 loss to St Mirren in the 2013 Scottish League Cup Final, scoring for Hearts in wins over Glasgow giants Rangers and Celtic and Edinburgh rival Hibs and being called up to the Scotland squad in 2011 for a friendly against Cyprus. The thought of Stevenson linking with ace striker Aziz Bayeh is a mouthwatering prospect for Strikers’ fans and if the club is successful with its other targets it will have a formidable line-up. “We know what we want to achieve this season and we’ve got off to a terrible start and need to strengthen,” said Lewis. “We want to turn our season around and I’m confident that we can.” Strikers lost their third straight game of the State 2 South-East season when they went down 6-3 away to Doncaster Rovers on Friday night with four individual errors leading to Rovers’ goals and underlining the need to add to the squad. Fellow State 2 South-East outfit Frankston Pines was unlucky not to leave Jack Thomas Reserve on Saturday night with three points after home team Berwick City scored an injurytime equaliser. Pines started with new signings Alex Akrivopoulos from Mazenod and Dion Brown from Peninsula Strikers on the bench and created the clearer chances in the first half with a new look front three of Matty Davies, Jack Wrobel and Ioasa Saemo. Seven minutes into the second half Jack Wrobel gave Pines the lead when he slotted the ball under Berwick keeper Christian Morales. Berwick pressured Pines in the last

20 minutes and the visitors thought they had held on until a corner in the 95th minute which went to the back post and was headed back across goal where former Pines striker Orlando Meijas tapped in to make it 1-1. Pines assistant coach Paul Williams took charge of the senior side against Berwick as head coach Billy Rae was attending a family wedding. Pines vice president Daniel Plaiche is spending the Easter break in his native Mauritius and is confident that he can negotiate international clearances for Christopher L’Enclume and Cedric Pernal. It is believed that L’Enclume’s club is asking for a transfer fee for the Mauritian international and Plaiche wants to meet with club officials to explain that L’Enclume is in Australia on an education visa and plans to play as an amateur at Pines. The success of Plaiche’s visit is crucial to Pines’ plans to bring out more Mauritian internationals later this season. Langwarrin supporters are in good spirits after the late, late show at Warner Reserve enabled the club to celebrate Gus Macleod’s 400th league game in charge with a 2-0 away win over promotion rival South Springvale last weekend. The result entrenches Langy on top of the State 1 South-East ladder and goals to Caleb Nicholes in the 89th minute and Alex Metcalfe in the 93rd minute sealed the victory. English central defender George Whiteoak arrived in Melbourne late last week and played in the reserves but looks certain to be in Langy’s matchday squad for its next game. State 1 rival Mornington was surprisingly beaten 2-1 at home by Manning-

Mornington News 11 April 2017

ham United last weekend. Mornington hit the front in the 19th minute when Ryan Paczkowski pressured the Manningham keeper following an inswinging corner from Nathan Smith and bundled the ball over the line. Scores were level in the 27th minute thanks to a superb free kick from Anton Nardella but later in the half Nardella received a straight red after being involved in a scuffle. The decisive moment in this contest came in the 80th minute when Mornington keeper Kris McEvoy could only parry a firm shot and Matthew Infantino’s low first time strike from close range made it 2-1. Both sides ended up with 10 men following Jack Truelove’s dismissal in the final minutes after receiving a second yellow card. Mornington is running out of time to get star recruit John Hine from English club Salford City over here. Hine has ongoing problems arranging a visa. “If he’s not here in the next couple of weeks we’ll have to look elsewhere but we were very poor against Manningham and we need to do something about that,” said Mornington coach Adam Jamieson. The storm that hit Melbourne on Saturday afternoon played havoc with fixtures and three local clubs had their matches abandoned. Skye United was 2-0 down at home to Brighton when it’s State 3 SouthEast game was abandoned in the 47th minute. The Doveton v Seaford United game at Waratah Reserve was called off after 72 minutes with the Doves leading 3-2 and Somerville Eagles were drawing 0-0 at home against Casey Panthers when their clash was abandoned in the 75th minute. Rule 4.2.3a of the 2017 rules of competition states: “If 80 per cent or more of normal time of a competition fixture has been played then the score at the time of abandonment may stand. ‘Played’ in the context of this rule will be determined by FFV with reference to the match official.” In other words FFV will decide whether or not the result stands. Harry McCartney reports that Seaford blew a 2-0 half-time lead against the Doves after a Dylan Waugh header in the 26th minute and an Alex Roberts strike in the 43rd minute put the visitors in the box seat. A low strike from Senahid Tokalic in the 53rd minute made it 2-1 and scores were level after a Nick Ormond own goal in the 66th minute. Scott Webster made Seaford pay for a defensive blunder in the 70th minute

to make it 3-2 but the match was called off shortly after. While FFV may let the Seaford and Somerville results stand it is expected to call for a replay in the Skye v Brighton game which probably accounts for Skye officials talking up the threat of more lightning as the referee waited in vain for the storm to abate. Skye’s players can consider themselves extremely lucky if FFV rules in favour of a replay after their spiritless, lazy performance last weekend. Baxter lost 1-0 away to Bayside Argonauts in their State 4 South fixture on Saturday. The home side had the better of the first half but the deadlock couldn’t be broken and Baxter dominated for long periods of the second stanza but couldn’t score. In the last 15 minutes big Dan Disseldorp’s shot struck the post and not long after teenager Travis Ernsdoerfer ended a great solo run by also hitting the upright. In the 88th minute Owen Kilner unleashed a volley that slammed off the crossbar and a minute later Bayside’s Sam Langford decided the issue with a fine finish following a good move down the left. Baxter is in talks with former Langwarrin striker Mikey Turner who quit Peninsula Strikers last weekend. Turner is also believed to be in Skye’s sights. Rosebud Heart had to settle for a 1-1 away draw with Noble Park on Saturday. Just two minutes in and Heart was on the back foot after a long ball over the top enabled Noble Park’s Daniel Paunov to nip in and poke the ball home. But Heart hit back in the 32nd minute when star striker David Greening turned Noble Park’s central defender inside out then finished superbly to make it 1-1. Heart controlled the contest after the interval despite playing into a fierce headwind and created four good chances in the final 10 minutes but failed to convert. “It was one of the most frustrating games I’ve been involved in as we dominated but couldn’t get the win,” said Heart senior coach Scott Morrison. “The performance was superb and was the type of form we showed all last year so hopefully we can go on now and get the results we deserve.” Daniel Hodge (tonsillectomy), Beau Sharpe (wedding) and Chris Sibson (back injury) were unavailable but all three should be back for Heart’s next league game on Saturday 22 April.

CrossFit athlete ready to meet worlds best By Ben Triandafillou ROSEBUD CrossFit athlete, Sarah Browne (pictured right), is aiming to beat her highest world ranking of 24 for the 40-44 age group in two weeks at the CrossFit Games Qualifiers. Sarah finished outside of the top 50 during last year’s qualifiers due to a shoulder injury but now back at her peak, Sarah is looking forward to the challenge and is eager to bring her best to her third attempt at the qualifiers. “It can be such a rush when you do a perfect lift and how you can get older but stronger and you begin to defy biology,” Browne said.

Sarah joined CrossFit Rosebud in 2011 in preparation for a surfing trip and quickly got hooked. Sarah went on to try several other CrossFit boxes but inevitably returned to Rosebud in 2015 where she has been ever since. Sarah trains five times a week for two hours and has a day of active recovery whilst keeping a healthy life balance, which, to Sarah is the major key. A mother of two and a perioperative nurse at Frankston hospital, Sarah juggles her three life commitments and is amazed at the amount of support she continually receives.

“I’m just very lucky with the support I get from my sponsors and the people around me, I am truly grateful,” Browne said. The top 20 competitors at the CrossFit Games Qualifiers will have the opportunity to compete in the highly competitive CrossFit Games on August 01 in America. “The pinnacle of CrossFit is the CrossFit Games where people from around the world can throwdown and compete against each other,” Browne said. Sarah has gained sponsorships with 2115Nine and ProGenEx since her first CrossFit open competition in 2012.

Group glory for Munz’s sprinters By Ben Triandafillou PENINSULA racehorse owner, Jonathan Munz, has saluted in two Group Two sprints on the second day of the Championships at Royal Randwick on Saturday 8 April. The Lee and Anthony Freedmantrained, Shoals ($3.10), continued her unbeaten record with a final lunge to defeat the Blue Diamond place-getter, Formality ($9), in the Group Two Percy Sykes Stakes (1200m). Shoals settled at the rear before rounding the field late to hit the line in a photo finish with Formality. Ridden by jockey, Mark Zahra, Shoals was declared the victor and took her unbeaten record to three straight with Serena Bay ($4.20) finishing a length behind in third. In 2014, Munz partnered with Arrowfield Group chairman, John Messara, to purchase a $1.9 million halfsister to Redoute’s Choice in hopes that her pedigree will shine through. The mare, The Broken Shore, has begun to pay dividends for the pair as Shoals continues to add to her impressive record. Munz had another runner in the

winners circle an hour later with the Hayes, Hayes and Dabernig-trained three-year-old, Derryn ($8.50), who dug through the Heavy 8 track to win the Group Two Arrowfield Stud Stakes (1200m). Mark Zahra made it a double for the afternoon, steering the red and white silks to victory as he passed the multiple Group One winner, Global Glamour ($3.70), in the final 100 metres, with Impending ($7.50) finishing

a further three lengths behind in third. Jonathan Munz is the owner and developer of the Pinecliff training facility in Mt Eliza and has had ongoing success with several top-liners such as Rekindled Interest and Molotov. Shoals will now head for a winter break whilst a decision will be made depending on how Derryn pulls up according to trainer, Ben Hayes.

Keen swimmers continue to cross bay’s mouth By Ben Triandafillou THE gap between the Port Phillip Heads is one of the most dangerous stretches of open water in Australia but keen swimmers have been crossing the opening since 1971. The swimmers must take into account the giant container ships, the vast variety of marine life and the detrimental tides when navigating their way from Point Lonsdale to Point Nepean. The ‘Rip Swim’ is now in its fourth season of organising group swims across the bay with a recent crossing on Sunday 26 February. Swimmers of all age groups have attempted and successfully completed the daring venture across the 3.2km stretch of water where the Port Phillip Bay meets the Bass Strait but safety is paramount says ‘Rip Swim’ organiser, Grant Siedle. “We have had a fair bit of talk around the start of this project and some people said it was reckless and foolhardy but we have kept a perfect record and safety is our number one concern,” Siedle said. Grant Siedle began organising the Rip Swim after completing the crossing several times himself, including a crossing on June 13, 2016 in the freezing winter waters to remember Doug Mew, the first recorded swimmer to complete the crossing on June 13, 1971. “I do love a challenge and attempting difficult swims but safety definitely is the main priority whenever attempting something like the rip swim,” Siedle said.

“Tides are a major factor when crossing and we have to make sure we are doing our best to maximise our slack tide and we must consider shipping movements.” The ‘Rip Swim’ organisers work closely with Victorian Ports, Melbourne and Parks Victoria to provide the swimmers with a safe passage. “There certainly are risks with the unpredictable nature of the water but we take the swim very seriously and have a doctor or paramedic on board as well as canoes following the swimmers,” Siedle said. The swim normally involves around

Girls footy side ready to tackle opening round By Ben Triandafillou THE newly reformed Mornington Junior Football club will have their first girl’s football side competing in the Frankston and District Junior Football League after the Easter break. Moving into their third season as a reformed club, the Mornington Junior Football Club continue to receive support and interest in their new girl’s side which now has 12 players. Since AFLW emerged onto the sporting scene in early February, female participation in ‘aussie rules’ across the Peninsula has spiked significantly. Mornington Junior Football Club committee member and team trainer, Stewart Lockie, said that the AFLW season as well as the drive shown by the club has had a major influence in getting the girl’s side together. “Our president and secretary have done a huge amount of work behind the scenes and the committee have had the vision and drive to get the side up and running,” Stewart said. The Mornington Football Club has

also supported the girl’s team with players from their women’s premiership side attending some training sessions to teach the players and enjoy a kick with the juniors. “They won the premiership last season and it’s great to see them supporting the girls and giving a bit back to junior footy,” Stewart said. The girl’s football team train on a Wednesday night and still have some spots open for girl’s aged eight-12 years who enjoy being active. “Our girls are really enjoying it at the moment and we can’t wait to see the season kick off after the Easter break,” Stewart said. As well as the girl’s football team, the Mornington Junior Football Club now has four under-9 boy’s sides, an under-10 boy’s side and two under-11 boy’s sides. Players from the Mornington Junior Football club will be presented with their jumper’s later this month. If you are interested in joining the Mornington Junior Football clubs girl’s side email morningtonjfc@ gmail.com

30 or 40 swimmers and although the event is swum by the individual, it is a shared experience. The groups are usually training for several months before the event and need to acclimatise before undertaking the swim. This year clinics and information sessions will be run at various pool and sporting centres between August and December to support keen swimmers. The ‘Rip Swim’ dates for the 2017/18 season are set to be announced in early July with bookings to open mid-October. Mornington News 11 April 2017

Mental health training for junior footy JUNIOR football league executives are being trained to spot youngest with mental health problems. The focus on mental health is part of the first aid training being given at every club in the Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League. Course participants will learn about adolescent development; the signs and symptoms of common and disabling mental health problems in young people; where and how to get help when a young person is developing a mental illness; what sort of help has been shown to be effective, and how to provide first aid in a crisis situation. “The hope is to equip each club with the necessary skills that will aid them in better supporting their players’ health and wellbeing, with an emphasis on mental health,” the mayor Cr Bev Colomb said. “Hopefully, over time this intervention will contribute to a reduction in depressive symptoms among our young people.” The league’s health and wellbeing officer Bek Mantell said the league was grateful to be involved in this “fantastic initiative”. “The Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League, along with affiliated clubs, feel football is often at the heart of the community and, therefore, it offers a great avenue to support young people,” she said. “All our junior clubs across the peninsula have nominated one, if not two, volunteers to become health and wellbeing officers within our football community. “Officers will be accessible around the clubs and are all dedicated to ensuring our youth feel safe and supported. Training will also be extended to club committee members and coaches in the hope of maximising the benefits of the training.”

Cadel karts his way to the winners’ circle IT’S taken just 14 months for nine-year-old Cadel Ambrose to get to the front in go karting. Cadel, of Bittern, won the second round of the Australian kart championships at Geelong two weekends ago when racing in a field of 18 seven to nine year olds, including last year’s winner. The next championship race will be in late May at Monarto in South Australia. “He’s come a long way in a short time,” his mother Suzie Morrell said. “It’s not surprising he likes to drive as his father [Rohan Ambrose] and my father [Geoff Morrell] raced cars in the improved production categories. We never pushed Cadel, it just happened naturally.” Cadel, who has already picked up a few sponsors for his efforts in the 60cc go karts, has his sights set on driving a V8 Supercar or even Formula 1 when he gets older. Although lightly powered, the go karts can reach almost 100kph in the straight. Cadel’s championship win came after qualifying fourth after four heats, giving him pole position for the 16 kilometre 21-lap final. “After a fantastic start Cadel dominated the race from turn one, fighting off all challengers to take the chequered flag,” Ms Morrell said. She said Cadel began go kart racing in January last year after graduating from the Junior Sprockets program run by Karting Australia. His win at Geelong saw him being the first graduate from the program to achieve a podium finish at an Australian Kart Championship round. “After the first round in Newcastle in February, Cadel was ranked 10th in the championship but his results at Geelong have elevated him to third,” Ms Morrell, who also drives go karts, said. Until he graduates to the bigger cars Cadel will no doubt get used to wiping off – and drinking – the non-alcoholic “champagne” that’s sprayed on the winner’s podium. Keith Platt

All aboard for surf of fools SUPER heroes, kings, fairies, pirates, punks, presidents (ex) and bogans seem an unlikely mix, but seemed ideal for Saturday’s surf contest at the somewhat appropriately named Atlas break at The Pines, Shoreham. The 12-team event was being held to raise money for the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula branch with the help of Maladiction Longboarders Club. Four-member teams dressed for the occasion (pirates were pirates, presidents wore suits, the punks were in plastic and so on) and the starter’s horn was blown while the reef at the Pines Beach was still exposed. Despite a lack of waves the early heats showed some innovative surfing with the main trick being for surfers to lie on their backs kicking their legs and waving their arms in the historic cockroach position. Later, a multi-national team in-

volved a Scotsman taking a swig of something from a bottle while surfing, the Aboriginal flag being flown by a surfer astride two boards and a handstanding Italian chef. After all, it was April Fool’s Day and contestants were in no doubt that something was up when the judges started to laugh and the winners were picked from a hat, despite creditable style being shown as the waves improved with the afternoon’s rising tide. Competitors rode the long “soft” boards used as DSA surf events and, just to liven up their styles, there was no wax to help them stop sliding off. The hat trick was won by the Pirates, whose members made off with $2000 worth of air travel vouchers. More April Fool’s Day Foolish Surf Comp pictures at www.facebook.com/ letsgosurfing Keith Platt
