Tradies warned:

‘Watch out for thieves’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A “MASSIVE increase” in the theft of power tools on the southern peninsula is worrying police.

They say thieves are targeting tradies’ vehicles and trailers in Mt Eliza, Mornington, Mt Martha, Somerville, Safety Beach and Dromana during the day and overnight.

“After hours, tradies should keep their tools out of sight in a locked garage if possible,” Detective Acting Sergeant Robert Vine said. “If this is not an option they should park in a welllit area and make sure their tools are locked up.”

Tradies are advised to also lock their vehicles when parked outside a job as it is less likely thieves will use force to gain entry during the day.

Overnight, offenders are cutting locks on trailers and forcing canopy locks and cutting or forcing tonneau covers.

Police concerns for tradies was underscored on Friday morning when a thief attempted to steal a tradie’s van while its owner was in a nearby cafe.

The tradie had left his van with the motor running in a Diane Street, Mornington, car park when the would-be thief saw his opportunity.

However the theft was foiled when the tradie, 25, sprinted out of the café when he saw his van being driven off.

The thief fell out of the door into the gutter and into the arms of the angry tradie.

The van stopped rolling when it hit several parked vars.

A Carrum Downs man has been

charged with theft of a motor vehicle and will appear in Frankston Magistrates Court on 13 September.

“Before tradies think what a pain it is to have to lock the car constantly, they should think, ‘Would I still be able to work without my tools?,’” Detective Vine said.

“Tradies should realise that if they are offered cheap tools they have most likely been stolen – and they may well know who from. So, please, let police know.”

Tradies should mark their tools by engraving them or permanently marking them with their names and drivers’ licence numbers. This makes it harder for thieves to offload them – and, hopefully, generate a greater return rate of stolen tools. The tools, batteries and chargers should all be marked.

Owners of stolen power tools should actively look for them at second-hand dealers at least seven days after they have been stolen, as well as on e-Bay, Gumtree, Facebook buy, swap and sell sites, and at others like Gray’s Auctions. Second-hand dealers cannot display goods for sale within a week of receiving them.

“If you see your items for sale please notify police as soon as possible and do not notify the seller,” Detective Acting Sergeant Robert Vine said. “Please help us help you.”

Anyone with information on thefts, or who sees anything, anyone or any vehicle they think is suspicious, is urged to call police or Detective Acting Sergeant Robert Vine at the Mornington Peninsula Crime Unit, 5978 1400, or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Getting in early to lift cycle of care kids never came, and we would have trouble getting in touch with their schools,” Ms McMahon said.

“Now we all sit around a table to discuss a child’s development and medical problems.”

The children’s backgrounds provide a clue to their situation: about 20 per cent are from families where their two parents remain together, and 50 per cent are already involved with the Department of Health and Human Services.

“Some are real hard core, with lots of bad stuff happening in their families,” Ms McMahon said.

“Our program aims to give them the best aspects of care and education; to get them out of that cycle.

“It’s a long-term project and we have had a 50 per cent improvement this year.”

Ms McMahon said she has had discussions with local GPs about joining in the program, as well as possibly involving social workers to grapple with social issues.

Another improvement in the service would be assessing pre-school children so they are not “behind the eight ball” when they begin school.

“The earlier you can provide intervention with development issues or speech pathology the better the longterm outcome,” she said.

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au AN program under which children receive care and advice from paediatricians at school – rather than having to visit a a hospital or clinic – is being hailed a success after 12 months.

The outreach strategy is aimed at children and parents in low socio-economic areas who cannot easily access such a specialist service.

In many cases the parents would not be able to pay for the service or be able to transport their child.

Behavioural development issues may also work to frustrate attendance.

Four areas chosen for this collaboration between Peninsula Health and schools are Hastings, Frankston North, Rosebud and Mornington Park.

The service has been able to expand with the help of Menzies – Caring for Kids.

Paediatricians visit primary schools in these areas weekly to discuss a range of issues with children identified by the school, as well as their parents. “We do case conferencing with their parents and teachers so we are all on the same page,” Peninsula Health’s clinical director of paediatrics Kathy McMahon said.

“We aim to provide expert care and management in a timely way, and their parents are grateful for it.”

Last year 1000 pupils were counselled and paediatricians made 300 appointments in the first term.

“Previously, when the service was being run in hospitals, sometimes the

Buyers see upside in Village Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A SYNDICATE of Chinese families has paid $39.4 million for the Mornington Village shopping centre.

The sale represents a healthy profit for the Melbourne accounting firm which bought the two-level, 7963 square metre property for $25.8 million four years ago.

The centre, on the corner of Main and Cromwell streets, has both Woolworths and Aldi supermarkets, The Reject Shop and Soul Pattinson Chemist, and 15 shops.

The purchase price resents a 5.26 per cent yield on an annual passing rental return of $2.071 million. When the centre last sold the yield was 7.47 per cent.

Selling agent CBRE’s national director Mark Wizel said yields had come down from 6.5 per cent to the mid-fives over the past 12 months.

“Yes, yields are tighter, but there’s the upside of longer-term value on well-sited assets, such as this one,” he said.

“Most of these shopping centres are in the best parts of town. However, this is essentially a long-term passive investment.”

CBRE’s Justin Dowers said residential population growth, along with tourism, had driven a “string of retail investment sales on the Mornington Peninsula in recent years”.

These had attracted a broad range of buyers including institutions, syndicates and private investors, he said.

The sales included Hastings Central

Activist to speak

On the money: Mornington Village shopping centre has sold for almost $40 million. Picture: Yanni

Shopping Centre bought by Henkell Brothers for $32.1 million; Bentons Square (half-share, Vicinity Centres, $38.25 million); Bunnings Warehouse Hastings (local syndicate, $15.16 million); and Somerville Mall (private investor, $42.05 million).

“While these sales have occurred over several years there is no doubt

they reflect the growing interest in a market which investors have recognised as providing excellent growth potential,” Mr Dowers said.

The fundamentals of the peninsula’s market had strengthened over recent years on the back of the completion of Peninsula Link, which extended the Mornington Peninsula Freeway, and

also Eastlink.

“Freeways, such as Peninsula Link, which provide traffic-light-free access to most of Melbourne, have opened the peninsula up to a much greater demographic along with a substantial increase in tourist numbers,” Mr Dowers said.

AUTHOR, activist, and the national representative of the Tertiary Education Union for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, Celeste Liddle, will speak at the July meeting of the Southern Women’s Action Network (SWAN).

Ms Liddle, an Arrernte woman, will be speaking during NAIDOC Week, 8-15 July.

Her name was on the 2017 Honour Roll of Women for her commitment to uplifting the status and wellbeing of Aboriginal people, particularly women.

SWAN is a not-for-profit organisation which has been meeting bi-monthly for the past 21 years to promote action for social justice.

The meeting featuring Ms Liddle starts at 9.30am Sunday 1 July at the Mornington Peninsula Shire Library, corner Vancouver and Queen streets, Mornington, Cost is $8 (including morning tea). Details: www.swanwomen.org.au or call Erica Churchill on 0404 811 422.

Summit focus on green wedge

School seeks ruling to balance its numbers Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CO-ED school Peninsula Grammar is seeking an exemption from the Equal Opportunity Act to allow it to “better manage” gender numbers in its classes.

Principal Stuart Johnston told the school’s alumni that the exemption would allow it to structure waiting and enrolment lists, allocate placements, and advertise or offer scholarships to either boys or girls depending on the genders it needed to balance numbers.

The Mt Eliza school, which has 41 per cent girls and 59 per cent boys after becoming fully co-educational in 1996, is seeking to extend the exemption granted by VCAT in 2013 for a further five-year term.

Mr Johnston said that, under the terms of the act, students were admitted in order of application, but this tended to skew numbers and upset the equal balance of boys and girls.

“We strongly believe it is in the best interests of both our male and female students alike, both educationally and socially, for our student body to comprise an equivalent number of boys and girls in each year level,” he said.

“The exemption would permit the school to continue to take positive action to even out our boy to girl ratios, thus enhancing the benefits of a fully coeducational learning environment.”

Mr Johnston, who has been principal for the past nine years, said classes up to Year 9 were affected by a gender imbalance.

“The perception of the community is that the numbers of boys and girls are equal. By having the exemption we can better manage that expec-

THE long-term protection of the Mornington Peninsula’s rural areas will be the focus of a green wedge summit on Friday 22 June at Main Ridge Community Hall, Main Ridge.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is holding the summit as part of community consultations following the release of the final draft of its Green Wedge Management Plan on Monday 18 June.

About 70 per cent of the peninsula is green wedge, which provides for conservation of the natural environment and access to informal outdoor recreation.

The peninsula is also regarded as one of the most valuable food producing areas in Australia close to a major capital city.

“The summit will focus on issues threatening the long-term preservation of the green wedge and stress the importance of ensuring the effectiveness of the shire’s green wedge policies are not compromised in the future,” the mayor Cr Bryan Payne said.

The summit will also cover major threats to the liveability and environment of the Mornington Peninsula – such as population growth.

Melbourne’s population rose by 125,400 people – up 2.7 per cent – in the year to June 2017, taking the total number to just under 4.9 million people, according to the Bureau of Statistics.

“The challenge of managing the increased population extends to Mornington Peninsula Shire with greater access through Peninsula Link, the ability of people to work remotely and the pressure of peak tourism periods,” Cr Payne said.

“It is vital that the immediate and future management of the demand for development of infrastructure, subdivision, tourism facilities and any

tation,” he said.

Other co-ed schools affected by an imbalance would likely also seek exemptions under the act, he said.

“We believe in choice and also that co-education works well, with students of co-ed schools doing better.”

The tribunal will hear the exemption application on 16 July.

pressures to reduce the effectiveness of the urban growth boundary are managed in a manner that respects and maintains the environmental integrity of the peninsula’s green wedge.”

Speakers at the summit will include Flinders MP Greg Hunt, and Michael Buxton, professor of environment and planning at the school of global, urban and social studies, RMIT University, an architect of Victoria’s original green wedge strategy. Others are Melbourne University’s Dr Rachel Carey, Mornington Regional Tourism Board chair Tracey Cooper, Peninsula Speaks’ Christine Haydon, and fifth-generation orchardist Sheryn Mock.

Dr Carey is a lecturer and research fellow in food policy and sustainable food systems. She leads the Foodprint Melbourne project and is investigating what it takes to feed Melbourne.

“Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors have a strong commitment to preserving the Green Wedge and coastal environments and, while it may cause debates, it is important to remember the decisions we make today on planning will decide the quality of environment we leave our children tomorrow,” Cr Payne said.

The Green Wedge Summit is at Main Ridge Community Hall, 441 Main Creek Road, Main Ridge, with 9.30am arrival for a 10am start and 3pm finish.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Trees mark Rotary milestone MORNINGTON Rotary Club has celebrated its 70th anniversary by planting 70 trees.

The tree planting at Civic Reserve, Mornington, started on Friday 18 May and follows Rotary International’s aim of planting one million trees throughout the world.

Planting was done with the help of Mornington Peninsula Shire and the Advanced Horticulture Centre, in Mitchell Street, Mornington, under the guidance of Jamie Burton. Trees were donated by Bunnings Mornington.

The trees included 15 lemon scented gums and 60 red gums – some of which form an avenue in the reserve adjacent to the botanical rose garden.

“It is with a great deal of pride that the Mornington Rotary Club has been able to conduct

this project in order to enhance our community environs,” Rotary president John Renowden said.

“We shall watch with interest as these trees mature and reveal their full beauty.”

FRANK Fisher

A life of education and service FRANK Fisher’s career in education, first as a teacher and then as a regional director of education, took place in New South Wales.

On moving to Mornington after his retirement with his wife, Gwen he soon became a well known and respected member of the community.

Mr Fisher, who died on 1 June aged 80 after a short battle with cancer, joined Mornington Rotary Club in 2001 and served as its president in 2004-2005.

The club’s current president, John Renowden, said Mr Fisher “was actively involved with many of the club’s projects, including the annual art show and the building of several gazebos in Mornington”.

Mr Fisher also became an active member and later president of Mornington Probus Club, organising film nights and outings for members.

He was also a member of Mornington Masonic Lodge No 160 where he played an active role in community activities and programs undertaken by the lodge.

He regularly played the organ for various services at St Peter’s Church, Mornington, where a funeral service was held for him on Thursday 7 June.

Frank Fisher is survived by his wife Gwen, three children and four grandchildren.

PREMIER Daniel Andrews will be guest speaker at a Committee for Greater Frankston hosted brunch at the 90-seat McClelland Gallery cafe in Langwarrin on Wednesday 27 June.

The Premier is likely to be asked if his government supports the proposed Frankston medical teaching and clinical research hospital – a partnership between Monash University and Peninsula Health.

Committee president Fred Harrison said it would create 1000 jobs including 500 long-term jobs for doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and administrators.

“This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would transform our region with a biomedical hub serviced by a metro train station,” he said.

“The Premier and our local MPs know how important this is for jobs for our future generation.”

The electrification of the Frankston to Baxter rail extension is also likely to be on the menu.

Park residents worry over futures Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CAPEL Caravan Park residents concerned about becoming “homeless” if their park is redeveloped held a meeting onsite, Friday 1 June.

Organiser Wayne Iremonger said up to 135 “mainly elderly and many long-term” residents may be forced out when their two-year notice period expires in December 2019.

The Eastbourne Road site, previously known as Sundowner Willows Caravan Park, was taken over by neighbouring retirement home proprietor The Village Glen late last year with the new owners promising that “nothing will happen for at least two years”. Rents were pegged at current prices as a goodwill gesture.

But, with time marching on, and frustrated that investments in their caravans and annexes have plummeted in value, the residents are pushing for action on their futures.

Mr Iremonger said many owner-occupiers of cabins and caravans “stand to, or have lost, thousands as they now have little to sell”.

“For many it is their lifesavings or superannuation,” he said.

“For example, a van that was valued at $96,000 before we were told of the closure recently sold for only $15,000.

“Another which was valued at $45,000 sold for just $5000.

“Many people have undertaken expensive upgrades. However, they will in most cases not be able to afford the cost of relocating to another park – if they can find one which has long-term

Talking point: Nepean Liberal Party candidate Russell Joseph speaks to Capel Caravan Park residents. Picture: Supplied

leases and reasonable rates.”

The News is not suggesting that the owners of the park are acting unfairly in any way nor disregarding the plight of the residents.

Nepean Liberal Party candidate Russell Joseph told the meeting renters were facing uncertainty under mooted

changes to the Residential Tenancies Act – another “cause for concern for tenants at Capel Caravan Park”.

He urged the park’s owners to “be clear about their intentions for the site and work with residents to develop solutions to any problems they may be facing”.

Talk longer

Mr Iremonger said possible solutions included finding a “willing farmer” to make available six or seven hectares for caravan residents to live in long term at nominal rents, or for the shire to “provide suitable land in or near Capel Sound which could be subdivided into smaller blocks”.

‘Slow traffic or use noise barriers on freeway’ A KEY message to come out of a traffic forum attended by about 100 residents at the Rosebud Country Club, Wednesday 30 May, was to slow traffic down to 80kph or build noise barriers on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway.

Organiser Wayne Ashley said issues discussed included a lack of action by various state governments over the past 18 years to address traffic noise on the freeway – reportedly the “only freeway not to have re-surfacing or sound barriers”.

Other concerns were increased traffic noise “well above 68 decibels as early as 4am creating health issues” for residents; lack of police enforcement of speeding trucks and cars, particularly in the early morning, and increased health issues caused by pollutants, such as carbon monoxide.

Those at the meeting voted to seek more support from Mornington Peninsula Shire to “pressure VicRoads to address residents’ concerns”.

“While the weather was atrocious it did not stop the enthusiasm of the audience,” Mr Ashley said.

Mr Ashley said money raised on the night will go towards making protest banners and placards for the campaign.

Doors close at The Long Table

An independent voice for the community We are the only locally owned and operated community newspaper on the Mornington Peninsula. We are dedicated to the belief that a strong community newspaper is essential to a strong community. We exist to serve residents, community groups and businesses and ask for their support in return.

RESTAURATEURS Samantha Fitzgerald and Andrew Doughton are “hanging up our aprons” after selling The Long Table at Red Hill South.

“After 15 years, we will be closing the doors of our beloved little restaurant on Sunday 17 June,” Ms Fitzgerald said.

“It is with much sadness as we come to the end of an era. However, we are also excited for what the future holds for The Long Table and our family

going forward. It’s certainly the end of an era for us, and for everyone who has been involved in our journey along the way. We know it takes a village to support a restaurant, and we want to say thank you to our extended families who have gone above and beyond in their support of our vision of owning our restaurant, to our fabulous staff who have become friends for life.”

The couple is not departing the food

scene altogether: “We are keeping the business name The Long Table and doing catering and events,” Ms Fitzgerald said.

The buyer is believed to be well established in the food and wine industry.

The premises, in Shoreham Road, are expected to be closed for renovations for several months and reopened for the summer season.

Shire turns down US style barbie Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au ASPIRATIONS of a barbecue restaurant at Red Hill to double its number of diners have been dampened by Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Red Gum BBQ, which bills itself as “the most authentic Southern American BBQ in Australia and the Mornington Peninsula’s best BBQ and Beer Hall, in the heart of Red Hill” wants to lift its allowable number of patrons from 85 to 170.

The shire says there is not enough available parking and there are issues with noise and dealing with wastewater from the restaurant.

The restaurant operates at the rear of the service station in a small shopping centre on Arthurs Seat Road.

The restaurant has lodged an appeal against the council’s decision with the Victorian Civil Administrative Appeals Tribunal (VCAT), although no date has been set for the hearing.

As well as the service station and barbecue restaurant the shopping centre includes a general store, real estate agency, travel agency, garden supplies shop and yoga studio. Opposite the site is a disability support services centre.

The site has 34 car parking spaces, with spill over vehicles being parked on the bend in Arthurs Seat Road which has a 70kph speed limit.

The council has received 26 objections to increasing the maximum number of pa-

trons at the restaurant.

Objections included concerns about excessive noise, safety for traffic and pedestrians and “the current wastewater system being insufficient to accommodate the existing patron numbers”.

The site is unsewered and all wastewater from the restaurant is treated and retained within the boundaries of the site through a wastewater treatment plant and disposal trenches.

The shire’s traffic and transport department also opposed increasing the number of patrons with the traffic engineer stating: ““There have been ongoing traffic and parking issues with this establishment since it started operating with the current patron numbers. Any increase will exacerbate these problems and decrease the safety for pedestrians attempting to access the premises and traffic using the road, especially with a parking waiver pushing more vehicles onto Arthurs Seat Road.”

In a report to the shire’s planning services committee on Monday 4 June, senior planner James Leonard stated that “such a heavy reliance upon parking on the opposite side of Arthurs Seat Road (a rural road with limited street lighting) is unacceptable from a traffic and pedestrian safety perspective”.

“This is compounded by the serving of alcohol on site, meaning the potential for intoxicated patrons (even with the benefit of a designated driver) to be crossing this rural road to reach their transport.”

Jackie Prossor, director of Foresite Planning and Bushfire Consultants, Rosebud,

REHAU Heritage Double Hung Windows Now Available

said on Friday she did not expect a compromise solution would be reached before the VCAT hearing.

She said Red Gum BBQ was an asset to the area and she was heartened by the shire’s decision to further investigate “the capacity to possibly increase patron numbers and to develop a parking transport plan that could accommodate for the increase in patrons, taking into consideration impacts on car parking amenity, pedestrian safety and improved lighting for the area”.

Red Gum owner Melissa Goffin said most of the objectors had submitted signed copies of the same letter which left her doubting “the extent to which they’ll follow it through” when the issue goes to VCAT. Ms Goffin said she felt councillors now “have a desire to work collaboratively with us before the VCAT hearing for a resolution”, which was a change from the message previously given by shire officers.

“We never expected to get a [amended] permit without conditions, but we’re frustrated this did not happen before,” she said.

Ms Goffin said the Red Gum BBQ was “a really great business” that was entitled, in the wake of its success, to seek changes.

“We’re community minded and have an ethical accreditation.”

She said this accreditation recognised Red Gum’s use of meat from free range, grass fed animals; having local suppliers; paying over-award wages; use of recycled products; and energy saving processes.

Mural reflects ‘creative freedom’

RED Hill artist and gallery owner Michael Leeworthy’s latest mural – and probably the one most special to him – will be officially launched on Friday.

Painted on a wall behind the Red Hill Trading Company, at the entrance to the Merricks-Red Hill shared trails, it features many favourite elements of his long-time home territory.

Some “very talented” students from Dromana Secondary College helped paint the 20 metre long mural over three weeks. Its nine panels highlight the area’s Aboriginal heritage, indigenous fauna and flora, early settlers, rail line, food and farm gates, walkers, and bike and horse riders that use the trail.

Working less than a minute from his gallery and home in Shoreham Road, with “no parking problems, and no traffic lights”, Leeworthy says he enjoyed listening to comments from pedestrians and passing bike riders, equestrians and bush walkers.

Leeworthy has lived at Red Hill for 33 years. His children Amy, Sarah and Jesse attended Red Hill Consolidated school; his grandson Ellis starts next year.

He is grateful to the Red Hill Community Association for the creative freedom he was given on the project, which was funded by Mornington Peninsula Shire. He was happy to comply with a check list of items to be included.

“The Red Hill Community Association was the driving force behind the mural whereas I was merely an actor in a play,” he said.

Councils united for football team Brodie Cowburn team@mpnews.com.au THE world game at its highest level in Australia may be coming to the southeast region.

Frankston and Mornington Peninsula councils have both thrown their support behind a regional bid to start a professional A-League football team.

The bid, codenamed “Team 11”, is one of 15 lodged to gain a license for entry into Australia’s top football league.

The bid, launched in June last year, is designed to represent the whole of the south-east Melbourne region, playing games out of a planned $170 million

stadium next to Dandenong Station.

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Bryan Payne said that the aspiring club, vying for entry into both the ALeague and the W-League for women’s players, would be beneficial to the peninsula.

“Mornington Peninsula Shire supports Team 11 and the movement to bring an A-League team to south-east Melbourne. This would bring significant social and economic benefits to not only the peninsula but all of southeast Melbourne,” Cr Payne said.

Frankston mayor Cr Colin Hampton said a successful bid would have a widespread positive effect in the region, highlighting the potential chances it could provide to local soccer players.

“Frankston City Council recognises the significant social and economic benefits that an A-League W-League and National Youth League team would bring to south-east Melbourne, and the opportunities for growth and development it would bring to clubs and participants in the region,” Cr Hampton said.

The Team 11 bid team is currently evaluating grounds across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula that would be suitable to host preseason and youth games featuring the expansion club.

Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Shire join the councils of Knox, Monash, Baw Baw Shire, Bass Coast Shire, South Gippsland Shire, Latrobe and Wellington Shire in contributing

letters of support to the bid to partner a Memorandum of Understanding signed

by Greater Dandenong Council, Casey Council and Cardinia Shire council.

The letters were submitted to Football Federation Australia last week as part of the team’s expression of interest for an A-League license. It was one of 15 bids that applied, with that number set to be whittled down by the FFA in the coming weeks. The current plan is for two of these bids to be chosen to enter the league.

As part of the consultation process, members of the Team 11 bid have visited representatives from grassroots soccer clubs such as Mornington and Chelsea to garner support.

If the bid is chosen, the plan is for the

club to establish a youth setup with a focus on giving opportunities to young players from the south-east Melbourne region.

If successful, the club would enter the A-League competition at the beginning of the 2019-2020 season.

One of the other bidders for the coveted new A-League team licence is a Belgravia Leisure bid led by company founder Geoff Lord, former chairman of Melbourne Victory.

Belgravia Leisure took over dayto-day management of five peninsula sports and leisure centres late last year from Mornington Peninsula Shire council, on a five-year deal with ratepayers set to pay the company more than $5.7 million in management fees.

Bag ladies celebrate success

SEAMSTRESS Lili Harford (pictured) received a Boomerang Bag with a tic-tac-toe game on the front at the Rosebud Boomerang Bag group’s 2500th bag celebration at La Casa

Nostra, Monday 21 May. Organiser Gwen Giudici said generous donations has allowed the group to buy thread, overlocker and sewing machine, as well as have machines serviced.

The group donated bags to Boneo Family Food and Fun Night and the Mornington Peninsula Food Forum.

They have started screen printing as an improvement in the bags’ design.

Eye for detail: Alyssa Giudici, 3, learns how to screen print a Boomerang Bag. The large type “really gets the message out”, her mother Gwen said.

WILLUM Warrain Aboriginal Association held its second Mornington Peninsula Reconciliation Walk on Sunday – Mabo Day 3 June – with the theme: “Don’t keep history a mystery”.

A crowd of about 750, including members of the Aboriginal community, friends and supporters of Willum Warrain, and the broader peninsula community, strolled from Pelican Park along the Hastings foreshore to the Aboriginal Gathering Place at 10 Pound Road.

On arrival there was an acknowledgement of country and introduction by board members Jeanette Kaindel and Debbie Clifford. This was followed by speeches from the mayor Cr Bryan Payne and Willum Warrain president Peter Aldenhoven and then a smoking ceremony accompanied by Lionel Lauch on didgeridoo.

After the formalities the Balnarring kindergarten choir and the Mullum Mullum Aboriginal choir sang before enjoying a community barbecue.

“William Warrain sees itself as an important destination for reconciliation for the whole peninsula,” president Peter Aldenhoven said. “We want to continue our shared journey together as we seek to build a brighter, more reconciled future for our country.”

Many of those attending wore Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander colours, waved flags or carried banners in support of the day.

“It was evident that there is a real yearning to learn more about our past and use this understanding to inform our future,” Mr Aldenhoven said.

Willum Warrain plans to host the walk every year on the last day of Reconciliation Week, or Mabo Day, which celebrates the trail-blazing land rights achievements of Torres Strait Islander man Eddie “Koiki” Mabo.

“The hope is that the walk will grow in size and prominence and become an increasingly significant Reconciliation event for the peninsula,” Mr Aldenhoven said.

Ann Brown’s schooldays reach 75 years Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A MT ELIZA woman who had to leave school when she was 14 is now, aged 75, about to graduate from Deakin University with a PhD (Psychology).

Ann Brown’s school in England wanted her to continue with her education but her parents could not afford it. They also believed that an education was “wasted on a female”.

So, it was off to work for the bright youngster who says she enjoyed office work and went on, at 18, to become personal assistant to the editor of the Sunday Times newspaper in London.

“Choosing office work stood me in good stead as I was able to move in and out of the workforce,” Ms Brown said.

With husband Allan she migrated to Australia when she was in her early 30s with two children aged 11 and nine.

Still “hankering after study” she began a course at the Open University following her retirement in her 60s and then studied at Monash and later Deakin universities, gaining her BA (Hons) and MA before beginning her doctorate.

Overcoming several personal obstacles made her studies “touch and go”. Her only brother died suddenly, and Ms Brown had to return urgently to the UK to settle her elderly mother’s affairs after she died two years ago. The family then had to contend with a fire while living in Beaumaris

and find temporary accommodation.

She also had to overcome health issues after fracturing three vertebrae.

Ms Brown revelled in her chosen field: the effect advertising has on women of all ages – particularly on their self-image.

“I began to notice that women were being targeted in advertising with the underlying message that they should have no grey hair and no wrinkles,” she said.

After examining 720 advertisements created between 1960 and 2010 she saw how they had sought to gloss over the natural effects of ageing. She interviewed scores of women aged 30-75 to gauge how the messages had impacted their lives.

“We are wonderful women with so much knowledge and experience, yet the ads are not about who we are but what we look like,” she said.

“Most women being affected [by the anti-ageing message] are in their 60s but I also notice that some as young as 30 are having Botox injections to improve their self-image.”

And it’s not only women who are being subtly influenced. “The ads also target young boys who get the message that they have to look strong,” she said.

“I did my PhD mainly on my own but drew inspiration from my mentor, Dr Tess Knight, of Deakin University, who pushed me on when I felt like giving in.”

Now school’s out for the active student who is content to say she is “proud of my achievement”.

Anglers cast reasons to stay put

CELSIUS

SALE

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au WESTERN Port Angling Club members met last week to hear an update on their fight against the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s plans to move their clubhouse away from the water.

About 70 people attended, including Boating Industry Association representative Ben Scullin, VR Fish representative Franz Grasser, Hastings MP Neale Burgess, angling club members, Bass Strait Game Fishing Club and Hastings Yacht Club.

Mr Burgess is backing the club’s push to remain on the foreshore.

Members are angry that the club building, public toilets and grassed area used for the annual whiting challenge presentation since the late 1980s will make way for a roadw and boat trailer parking as shown in the 2017 draft Hastings foreshore precinct plan.

The new parking plan will be released on 20 June and go before a council meeting on 26 June for decision.

Club members are aware that the Victorian Coastal Strategy 2014 states that foreshore buildings must have “a demonstrated need to be located on the coast”.

Committee member Don Newman said the draft Hastings foreshore plan states that fishing events and associated barbecues, although “driven” by having boating access to Western Port, “are not a direct result of where the angling club is located”.

“Gatherings can occur regardless of this facility due to convenient open space access, and storage is not a key requirement in this location,” the draft plan states.

Mr Newman said the shire had said it would prefer the club to relocate to another, unidentified building “somewhere in Hastings”.

“Rumours exist that the Community Hub facility near Kings Creek Hotel would be high on the shire’s list,” he said.

“Hastings Bowling Club and Hastings Tennis Club are also on the foreshore reserve. Do they have “a demonstrated need to be located on the coast?”

The club has drawn up its own boat trailer parking plan which retains the existing club building, public toilets and grassed picnic area.

It has up to 80 parking bays for trailers and four disabled trailer bays on bitumen, as well as overflow parking on grass for up to 130 trailers to cater for more recreational boaters on busy days.

Mr Newman said angling club members “oppose any move away from the boat ramp area as we need 24/7 access to allow members to weigh fish after returning to shore and close proximity to the cleaning table so members can clean and fillet their catch after weighing it”.

The members want parking for 10-15 vehicles, boats and trailers at the weigh-in for 15-20 competitions each year, and adequate parking for 50-100 vehicles with boats and trailers, plus a suitable grassed area for 300-500 spectators at major public competitions and presentations, such as the whiting challenge and game fishing tournaments.

Other “wants” cover power, scales, lighting, public access system, cool room food and drink storage, water, kitchen, public toilets, shelter and storage for valuable raffle prizes, including a boat, motor and trailer.

Members say a liquor licence is needed for four meetings a month for anglers and game fishers. A seniors’ competition is held each week and members have guest speaker nights. Revenue from the bar is a major source of club revenue.

Also required is a defibrillator which is now in the weigh station and a long-term lease to give the club stability and the ability to extend to care for increased membership and storage of club property.

Mr Newman said the state government under The Target One Million and Stronger Fishing Clubs Grants scheme had previously granted the club $2000 for improvements to its club rooms and the installation of a defibrillator and first aid training of club members.

HASTINGS MP Neale Burgess, right, is backing Westernport Angling Club’s bid to retain its near-waterside position on the foreshore.

Seagulls take their turn at the crossing Main Street, Mornington has three roundabouts and nine pedestrian crossings. It is also blessed with a healthy population of seagulls.

Mono-filament lines rooftops has led to more and more seagulls at ground level when they normally would be sitting on roof ridges, parapets and gutters, looking down upon us mere ground-borne humans, and yes, leaving small unwelcome deposits.

I was astonished to see a seagull at the edge of the pavement looking left and then right at a pedestrian crossing waiting to see if the cars (us) would stop and, when we did, proceed to walk across the crossing. Wow. An isolated event I thought, seagulls can’t be that smart.

They give no intimation of being civilised when they are fighting over a carelessly tossed chip or sandwich crust.

I have now experienced the phenomenon at a different level crossing. Was it the same seagull? I could not really tell.

As a result, I have become convinced that the Mornington seagulls have evolved into pedestrian crossing users. This can only be because they have been denied the access to rooftops.

Darwin would be calling “vindication, vindication” if he were alive and here in Mornington.

I am so glad that the seagulls have been observing the sensible humans who use the crossings, and not those fools who cross at random locations.

What I cannot figure out is how they can pick the smart people from the fools? It points to cognitive abilities perhaps never before attributed to seagulls, except by Alfred Hitchcock, and that is a bit of a worry.

I shall continue to keep my eyes peeled for further evidence of seagull evolution. I am expecting the next evolutionary stage to be the use of found or dropped coins to buy chips.

Graeme Willaton, Mt Martha

Deadline for concerns As a Crib Point resident, I am very concerned about the risks to our community and Western Port from the proposed AGL floating gas facility and APA Group pipeline.

The risks of fire or explosion (BLEVE) during gas transportation are not to be ignored.

The risks to the marine life, seagrass and mangroves around Crib Point are too high.

The risks to farmers and landowners having pipelines and easements across their properties include food contamination and negative property values.

AGL has information and draft assessments on its website (www.engageagl.com.au) that will soon be submitted to the state government, but these assessments need to include the concerns and feedback of people and businesses from all around Western Port.

The state government (and the opposition) need to recognise that this AGL floating gas facility at Crib Point is not essential to Victoria’s future gas supply requirements.

The Premier Daniel Andrews told ABC Radio on 29 May that there “is not a gas shortage. We produce in Victoria double the amount of gas we use each year”.

A thorough review by state MPs Richard Wynne and Lily D’Ambrosio and the Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning must include an Environmental Effects Statement (EES) from AGL. Anybody who is concerned about the AGL gas project and its effects on Western Port needs to put their questions in writing via the AGL website, APA website, DELWP website or their local MP as soon as possible.

Dale Stohr, Crib Point

No gas shortage Has AGL been misleading the public with its claim that “securing our energy supply” is behind its urgent plan to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) into Western Port? Last week Premier Daniel Andrews admitted on ABC radio that there is no gas shortage and that Victoria

currently produces more LNG than we use.

Some of AGL’s risk assessments reveal that it mightn’t be taking its environmental and safety responsibilities as seriously as it could. How can we trust that it “anticipate no harm” to the marine environment or people from the many effects of regasification, when its own research has already proven inadequate? Government must require a full environmental effects study into the proposal, and not be satisfied with research purchased to play down its inevitable risks.

This facility would have a constant risk of accident or explosion. Even operating correctly it would threaten wetlands and wildlife, causing birds and people to abandon the area due to excessive noise, light and water pollution. Its invasive presence would decrease local property values and continue to hold Crib Point back in its industrial past, but without the benefit of local employment.

For decades the state government has held the town back beneath oppressive, outdated zoning laws enacted to favour industry in the 1960s.

The proposal’s risks might be worthwhile if it really solved a legitimate supply problem, but the real motivating factor behind this plan to import gas seems to be AGL’s desire to exploit market conditions, and Western Port’s irreplaceable environment for its own arbitrary financial gain.

Julia Stockigt, Bittern

Profits from gas Premier Daniel Andrews on Jon Faine’s morning ABC radio talkback program has spelt out loud and clear the real reason why AGL wants to moor a floating gas terminal to the Crib Point Jetty, not for impending gas shortages that AGL tell us but to take advantage of a “very, very broken gas market that sees AGL landing Australian gas back (from overseas) in Victoria cheaper than we can buy it here”. He went on to say that AGL sees this as an opportunity, not because of gas shortage, but because of a market failure to make huge profits.

So, it is officially out, the reason why the Crib Point community’s safety is to be put at risk as well as the environment of Western Port is because of the “very ,very profitable” business of buying excess Australian gas from overseas transported by foreign flag cheap labour ships whose seaworthiness is questioned.

Rod Knowles, Crib Point

No upside in gas plans The proposed AGL and AGL/Kawasaki gas projects cannot proceed if the leaders of our federal, state and local governments meet their commitments to protect Western Port’s Ramsar wetlands.

Why have these projects even been considered for Western Port in light of the proliferation of reports and recommendations for this UNESCO/Ramsar listed site? Western Port is a designated UNESCO biosphere reserve. It is listed as a Ramsar site of international importance. In March last year the Andrew’s Labor state government issued a media release stating that $640,000 would be allocated to its new management plan over the next seven years.

What a difference a year makes. This same Andrew’s government has now agreed to give $50 million to a consortium headed by Kawasaki and including AGL for a world first untested carbon capture plan [to get hydrogen from brown coal] in the La Trobe Valley with a liquid to gas plant at the Port of Hastings.

AGL will also have a floating liquid natural gas terminal at the Crib Point jetty. The Turnbull government has matched the Andrew’s government gift [for the hydrogen trial].

People have rights to a safe, a quiet and pollution free environment, but the community that lives in the Western Port area will be denied all of those rights if these projects go ahead.

Kawasaki’s CEO says that [hydrogen project]

is an exciting joint venture, between Japan and Australia, putting our countries at the forefront of the developing clean energy industry and bring jobs and economic growth to Victoria.

Try as I might I, can’t find a recommendation in any report for bringing 300 metre long gas tankers into Western Port; any mention of a gas terminal at Crib Point; liquid hydrogen being turned into gas at Hastings.

Where’s the upside that our governments have paid for?

Jan Foster, Crib Point

But why stop at Baxter? This is an opportunity to take public rail transport to the whole Mornington Peninsula. At least it could be taken to Hastings or even Bittern for a start.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council also should be involved into the planning of a future rail network for the whole peninsula so we can stop building ever more freeways on our ever diminishing green spaces.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Noise wall needed

In reply to letters sent in by Jane Turnbull (“Waiting for the train” 5/6/18) and Brian A Mitchelson (“Bring the train back to Mornington” 22/5/18) concerning the return of the Mornington train that was disbanded in 1981, I have to say that I couldn’t agree more.

In November 2005, a petition with many signatures was given to the then Transport Minister Robin Cooper (now retired) by myself to have the railway line reopened. Mr Cooper was fully behind the plan.

I recently received a letter from Mornington MP David Morris which stated that he did not support the plan because the train took one hour to get to Frankston. I wish to point out that what Mr Morris and his transport advisory committee don’t seem to understand is that we did not have Eden Park, Peninsula Grange units and, in a very short time, Madison Hill.

No buses travel into Racecourse Road to link the 784 bus to Osborne and, I’m sorry to say, Mr Morris and his committee’s way of thinking appears somewhat Neolithic.

Bungower Road, in the mornings especially, is dreadful with traffic congestion.

Fred Crump, Mornington

I read with interest your article “Opponents ready for roadside visit” (The News 29/5/18).

There are articles about destroying the vegetation and affecting the wildlife. Articles about road safety barriers and data held by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to support the noise levels are above acceptable for a residential area. But nothing is done.

I agree with the concerns raised but, like many others, I live next to the freeway and despite installing double glazing in my house I am still affected by the increased noise levels.

I believe a person has a right to enjoy their home and garden without noise pollution.

I have contacted the council which says it’s a VicRoads issue. VicRoads doesn’t reply to the question about when, or if, we’re going to get noise walls.

Tracy Taylor, Dromana

Liberal protection If you want to protect the amenity and character of our established neighbourhoods and rural hinterland, vote Liberal at the November state election.

Thanks to Labor, our General Residential Zone has been trashed and will now become a location for three-storey apartment-style developments irrespective of the established character of your neighbourhood.

Labor has, without any consultation with local residents, communities or council, replaced existing nine metre height limits with an 11 metre limits and “as of right” approval for three-storey development.

In 2014 the Coalition government introduced the Mornington Peninsula Localised Planning Statement to help protect the unique coastal, rural and conservation areas of the Mornington Peninsula townships and hinterland.

Yet, just three years later, [Victorian Premier] Daniel Andrews has unilaterally decided to tear up the previous government’s sensible and balanced reforms in favour of inappropriate overdevelopment of our townships.

These changes affect over 24,000 house lots across the peninsula and, under Labor, there will be more to come.

Make no mistake, Labor and the Greens want their own Brunswick-by-the-Bay down here, but only a Liberal government will protect what we love about our peninsula.

Russell Joseph, Liberal candidate for Nepean

Political spin Let’s be very clear about some of the political spin concerning the changes to planning (“Greens in blue over planning” The News 4/6/18). This is classic scaremongering by the Liberal party and it’s unfortunate that Peninsula Speaks has bought into it, despite its members’ best intentions.

The Greens specifically requested the minister accelerate distinctive protection for the Mornington Peninsula. The current state legislation does not take away from the current council planning process, a three-storey building was possible before.

In fact, the mandatory garden percentages actually increased for new developments. The Liberal Party spin machine on the peninsula is alive and well and full of deception.

Kelvin Stingel co-convenor, Mornington Peninsula Greens, Blairgowrie

Don’t stop all stations The election promise by the federal government for the extension of electric trains to Baxter is to be commended. But it would have been courteous to make sure the state government was also involved in this proposal, as the bulk of the cost is going to be a burden on Victoria’s taxpayers.

More train support

Apportioning blame I am absolutely gob-smacked that Australians are not running to the corrupt banks to get their money out and telling them why. This amounts to approval of their corrupt practices.

The question we must ask ourselves the next time someone dies from a drug overdose or a terrorist attack is “Who should we blame? The drug dealer or terrorist; the banks for laundering drug and terrorist money; or us for turning a blind eye to it all.”

I suggest it is the apathetic us (I’m not included as I’ve done it). But what’s to worry?

She’ll be right Mate.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Fishing loss A new study has found that excessive fishing has caused numbers of Australian fish, like bream and snapper, to decline by a third. The 10-year study published in Aquatic Conservation, looked at nearly 200 species at 544 sites, and found the main cause for decline was overfishing and climate change. The research confirmed that there is an “urgent need” to declare more marine reserves. “Despite public desire for marine protected areas … [they] cover less than two per cent of global marine waters.”

It should come as no surprise that the fishing industry is the biggest killer of animals on the planet.

Whether they are plentiful or not, all fish feel pain and suffer horribly on the journey from sea to supermarket as they are hauled up in commercial fishing nets that have been dragged along the ocean floor, tearing up whatever stands in their way.

These sensitive animals are crushed to death, suffocated or thrown overboard to succumb to their injuries in the water. Altogether, more than one trillion fish and other sea animals die at the hands of humans each year. That’s about 143 sea animals for every human on Earth.

Trawling is also responsible for widespread damage to coral reefs and underwater mountains, and as a result, the ecosystems that depend on these habitats are crumbling. This reckless destruction of the ocean is both cruel and unsustainable.

The good news is that delicious cruelty-free options – such as fish-free fish fingers, faux-fish cakes and mock prawns – are delicious, affordable and easy to find. PETA’s free vegan starter kit has great tips and recipes to help you make the transition to a diet free of fish and other animals.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Steaks raised in anticipated football clash Compiled by Brodie Cowburn A FOOTBALL match between the Frankston and Mornington juniors was played on Saturday last in the Frankston park when, after an interesting game the visitors suffered defeat by 10 points. Mr W. Cain umpired satisfactorily.

We understand that Mornington has issued a challenge to play Frankston at Somerville, the losers to pay for a dinner. If the challenge is accepted an interesting game should result. *** IN the 407th and 408th casualty lists, recently published by the Defence department appear the names of two Peninsula soldiers who have made the supreme sacrifice - Pte. E. E. Cook of Somerville and Corporal W. J. Hoban, of Hastings.

Keen sympathy is expressed for the relatives of the deceased soldiers. *** LIEUTENANT W. C. Pentland, son of Mr W. C. Pentland, of Cheltenham was recently mentioned in despatches by Sir Douglas Haig. Lieutenant Pentland who saw service in the Boer war was wounded in France, and is now in hospital in England with one leg amputated.

He was an old South Melbourne College boy and was well known in Frankston. *** THERE was a splendid attendance at the Frankston Mechanics on Saturday evening last, when a picture entertainment was held in aid of the funds of the Langwarrin Camp.

Special interest attached to the screening of the picture taken on the

occasion of the Pageant of Loyalty at Frankston, and many residents had an opportunity to see themselves as others see them. Other pictures shown were of an equally high standard. *** IN aid of the Langwarrin Camp Fund a grand concert under the direction of Miss R. P. Langley of Melbourne and Mr J. B. Jolly of Frankston will be given in the Mechanics Hall Frankston on Saturday, July 16th, by the famous Merry Eight Musical Comedy Company.

The programme promises to be one of the best ever submitted locally and as the cause is of such a deserving nature a bumper house is anticipated.

The Concert company are giving their services gratis so the gross proceeds will be devoted to the fund. *** MRS A. W. Taylor sailed from Sydney on Tuesday last, to assist in the work of the Australian Red Cross in Egypt. She was one of two ladies selected in the Commonwealth for the work, the other being Miss Waugh, of Sydney.

It will be remembered that some little time ago Mrs Taylor’s husband disposed of his garage at Frankston to join the Flying Corps. He is now in England. *** PROBATE of the will of Sir John Madden has been applied for by the National Trustees Company. He died on 10th March last, leaving estate valued at £29,082, being realty £14,213 and personalty £14,869.

Besides the capital moneys of her marriage settlement, which she takes absolutely at once, Lady Madden is given the income of the whole estate for life. At her death the capital is divisible into six parts, of which one part is given to deceased’s son, Captain Guy Ross Madden, absolutely, and the income of the five other parts is given to the five daughters, Mrs. Harry Osborne, Mrs. Clement Valange, Mrs. Pat Osborne, Mrs. M. H. Baillieu, and Miss Lesly Madden, for life, with power to appoint the capital fund of their respective shares.

Sir John Madden’s town house, “Cloyne,” in St. Kilda, and “ Yamala,” his country home at Frankston, are both to be sold shortly. *** WILLIAM Henry Wooster and Frank Whyte were charged by Constable Ryan with behaving in an offensive manner in Bay Street, Frankston, on Sunday, 9th June. Defendants pleaded not guilty.

Graham Berry Bennett, a motor driver, deposed that while sitting on a seat in Bay Street on Sunday afternoon he was accosted by accused who asked for a match. Witness gave Wooster some matches.

Both men were in an intoxicated condition and used most abusive and filthy language to witness, who had not seen either of them previously.

Witness reported the matter to the police and both men were arrested

by Constable Ryan. Constable Ryan deposed to arresting the prisoners who were both under the influence of drink.

Each defendant was fined £1, in default 48 hours imprisonment. *** AN elderly man named William Palmer was charged by Constable Ryan with being drunk and disorderly, in Hastings Road, on Monday night, 10th June.

Prisoner pleaded guilty. Const.

Ryan stated that he found Palmer lying in a drunken condition on Hastings Road the previous night.

He was in danger of being run over and was locked up for his own safety *** A VERY successful sale in aid of the funds of the local Red Cross was held at St. Pancras Private Hospital, Frankston, on Wednesday afternoon, conducted by the Matron (Miss Cadle) and Staff.

In declaring the sale open, Mrs James Grice, of Moondah, said :Ladies and Gentlemen, You all know from the interest you have taken in the Red Cross the object of your meeting today. It is to show by our actions how we thoroughly appreciate what our gallant men at the front have done and are doing, for whilst we are living in comfort and luxury we can hardly understand the privations they are undergoing. *** THE town of Hastings was quite busy last Saturday afternoon when a number of men with horses and drays were busy at work clearing earth from the side of the main road and repairing the half yard with sand.

Another working bee is to be held on Saturday. ***

A WEDDING caused a great deal of interest in Langwarrin owing to the fact that the bridegroom was formerly of the 5th battalion, A.I.F., Gallipoli, and his parents are well known here for their connection with the Red Cross work and patriotic functions.

The bride and one of her sisters frequently appeared at local functions and at considerable expense they journeyed from the metropolis, and their presence was always welcome. *** A MEETING of the committee of the Avenue of honour at Frankston was held in the Frankston Mechanics’ on Monday evening. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed.

A letter was read from Mrs E. Goodwin, applying for three trees.Mr Jennings moved that the request be complied with. Seconded by Mr Young, and carried.

Mr Dower, on behalf of Mr Hartland who was unavoidably absent, reported that the trees could not be obtained at Brunnings, but that firm knew where they were to be got, and promised to secure them, when they would communicate with the secretary.

Cr Mason moved and Cr Oates seconded, that Dr Plowman be appointed treasurer to the fund. Carried.

Dr Plowman moved that Saturday, 13th July be fixed as the day for planting the trees. Seconded by Cr Mason and carried. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 15 June 1918

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

An Open Letter in a Normal Sized Envelope

By Stuart McCullough IT’S quite old-fashioned, in a way. To send someone a letter in this day and age runs the very real risk of being viewed as either quaint or Amish or maybe a little bit of both. North Korean Supreme Leader (a title that I previously thought belonged to Diana Ross) sent a letter to President Trump, the result of which is that the summit that was on, then cancelled, is – to use the official language preferred by the State Department - back on like Donkey Kong. It must have been quite a letter.

I’m making an assumption, of course. They didn’t show the actual letter on the news, just the envelope.

And it was, put simply, enormous.

It was big enough to fit one of those ‘sorry you’re leaving’ cards that everyone signs whenever one of your colleagues gets a new job. Perhaps Kim Jong-un got everyone in the office to scrawl a message to the President and enclosed a Myer gift card. Little wonder that the meeting’s now going ahead. Nothing generates good will more than a fifty-dollar gift card. It’ll give President Trump the chance to buy a second tie and give the red one a well-deserved rest.

Then again, maybe it wasn’t a card at all. Perhaps Kim Jong-un has gigantic handwriting. The stationery must be far bigger than anything Kikki-K has to offer. Did he include a drawing? Pressed flowers? The mind boggles. Perhaps it’s simply that the letter settled a key sticking point, like which McDonalds in Singapore

Mornington News

they’d be meeting at. You couldn’t tell me that –despite their differences – the one thing these two would have in common is an unshakeable faith in a Big Mac. That said, I wouldn’t put it past Kim Jong-un to order a Fillet O Fish as part of some next-level Jedi-style mind game. No one ever expects a Fillet O Fish. No one.

Then again, the two of them could go out for pizza. As a New Yorker, it goes without saying that President

12 June 2018

Trump has done many a deal over a slice of pepperoni pizza. For his Trumpiness, it wouldn’t matter what kind of pizza he ordered, so long as it had a stuffed crust. He’s definitely a stuffed crust kind of guy. As for Kim Jong-un, there’s little doubt he’d plump for a Super Supreme (Leader) family size pizza, washed down by a gallon of Diet Coke. After eating, they should go paintballing.

What should we read into North

Korea’s over-sized envelope? Surely it has to be some kind of symbol.

A warning, if you will. For a nation that has been accused of pushing the envelope, it can be no accident that when said envelope finally appeared, it’s large enough to use as a tent.

Then again, I only saw the back.

Perhaps the envelope is only as big as necessary to fit a North Korean stamp. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if every stamp carried a portrait of the Supreme Leader and there was some kind of nutso rule that said no picture of Kim Jong-un could be anything less than life-size, resulting in very, very big envelopes.

It wasn’t just that Kim Jong-un sent a letter. It was that the letter was delivered by hand. Think, for a moment, what a tough job that would be. You have to fly from North Korea to America to hand deliver a letter; never letting that thing out of your sight, even for an instant. The letter probably got its own seat on the plane. You’d kick yourself if, having arrived in town early, you accidentally left it in the bathroom at the Smithsonian or spilt a little ketchup on it while at the baseball. As it was, the envelope appeared to be entirely blemish-free.

As cute as a letter might be, it’s more labour intensive than, say, a phone call. It suggests that the parties are yet to establish a Kennedy/ Khrushchev-style Bat phone. Maybe they ought to. It would glow red whenever one wanted to speak to the other. I think it’d be safer than a more modern instant messaging option or

Skype. Too much could go wrong.

One moment, there’s peace in our times; the next someone uses the term ‘covfefe’ which, as fate would have it, translates as ‘your mother is a goatherder’ in Korean and, in the blink of an eye, you have nothing short of anarchy. Perhaps it’s no surprise that they’re communicating by letter – where every word can be considered – rather than something more modern.

It’s weird to say it, but this is potentially the most important play-date in history. All anyone can hope is that they get along; which is a big ask given the personalities involved. Each of them should bring the other a present.

It’s well known that North Korea’s leader is a huge fan of basketball and computer games, so it should be easy to get him something to break the ice.

Maybe not ‘World of War Craft’, lest he should go getting any ideas. As for the President, perhaps a suit from Kim Jong-un’s signature range for larger men. They’re surprisingly comfortable, not to mention slimming.

It must have been some letter.

I guess it doesn’t matter how big the writing or whether he used a typewriter, fountain pen or crayon; so long as things are moving forward.

The mind boggles at how the discussion will go. Hunkered over Big Macs in a roped off part of McDonaldland, the fate of the Korean Peninsula will be determined. If it goes well, I’ll be sure to congratulate them. By letter, of course. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Frankston YCW slump to four straight losses DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn SORRENTO have piled further misery on Frankston YCW, claiming victory in a bruising contest at David Macfarlane Reserve on Saturday.

Coming off the back of three consecutive defeats, Frankston YCW faced a tough challenge to break their losing run against the in-form ladder leaders on Sorrento’s home turf.

Sorrento initially looked the better team in the early stages of the match, going into the quarter time break with a comfortable buffer of 14 points.

Chris Dawes looked to stamp his authority on the contest with a number of big early marks for Sorrento. He was matched up on Frankston YCW defender BJ Credlin, with the Sorrento forward having a significant size advantage over his opponent.

As the game progressed though, Credlin was able to get the better of Dawes, as Frankston YCW worked their way back into the contest with a big second quarter.

Sorrento went into the half time break only three points ahead, and to make things worse they were playing a man down after Jack Grant was forced off for the game in the second quarter following a head knock.

With momentum on their side and a half of football to play, Frankston YCW might’ve been considered favourites to run away with the contest, but Sorrento did well to persist despite playing a man down. Shannon Gladman stood up with a big performance to swing the game Sorrento’s way, and the Sharks went into the final term with a narrow seven point advantage.

Frankston YCW remained within an arm’s reach of the game, but ultimately the strength of Sorrento’s big guns was too much to overcome, as the Sharks ran out 14 point winners

over Frankston YCW, 12.14 (86) to 10.12 (72).

Chris Dawes finished with four majors for Sorrento, while Lachlan Street performed valiantly to put away four goals of his own in a losing effort for the Stonecats.

Now having lost four matches on the trot, Frankston YCW will have a week off to lick their wounds and collect themselves.

Mt Eliza hosted the only other game of MPNFL Division One football for the weekend, as the other teams enjoyed a bye.

Mt Eliza took on Frankston Bombers in what would prove to be a difficult game at Emil Madsen Reserve.

They started strongly with a two goal to zero first quarter, and went into the first break with a 13 point lead.

Things didn’t get any better from that point on for the Bombers, as they struggled to make any impact on the scoreboard. Despite having more scoring shots for the quarter, Frankston went into the main break having kicked no goals and a miserable eight behinds.

Mt Eliza failed to kick a goal in the third term but still went into the threequarter time break with a fifteen point advantage. Suddenly it was Mt Eliza who couldn’t buy a goal, as Frankston Bombers began to fight back while their opponents struggled.

In the final quarter Mt Eliza could only muster up three paltry behinds, while Frankston Bombers were able to put two goals on the scoreboard.

Despite a late fightback, Frankston Bombers couldn’t quite get over the line, as they fell to Mt Eliza in a scrappy contest 4.12 (36) to 3.15 (33).

Floating to victory: Mt Eliza just got the chocolates against Frankston Bombers.

Tyabb storm home to claim second win DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn A SEVEN goal final quarter blitz from Tyabb has seen them secure their second win for the season, as they bested Devon Meadows and Bunguyan Reserve.

Tyabb were slow out of the gates, and found themselves with their backs to the wall as they fell behind by 15 points at quarter time.

They continued to slowly work their way into the game, and were only behind by a goal at the half time break. Devon Meadows continued to work hard but couldn’t stem the flow of goals, as Tyabb finally took the lead going into the three-quarter time break, with the margin only standing at a solitary point.

Despite looking set up for a close finish, the final quarter was uncompetitive, as Tyabb blew the game apart with a stunning run of seven unanswered goals.

Jake Anderson was the best on ground for the winning side, as he put away seven majors for Tyabb to take his tally for the season to 23.

Tyabb are now one game clear of the bottom of the ladder, having put away Devon Meadows 17.17 (119) to 13.9 (87).

Crib Point were also looking for

Mornington News

their second win of the year on Saturday, as they hosted Pearcedale at Crib Point Recreation Reserve.

Pearcedale started things off on the right foot, holding their struggling Crib Point opponents scoreless in the first term.

Things went from bad to worse for lowly Crib Point, as they could only manage one goal to Pearcedale’s seven in the second term, with the lead blowing out to 49 points in half time.

Crib Point were able to restore some respectability with a good second half showing, but ultimately could do little to stop Pearcedale, as the final siren sounded with Pearcedale ahead 5.6 (36) to 13.9 (87) Laughlin Cowell was best on ground with five goals for Pearcedale, with his teammate Ben Mitchell also contributing five goals in his first game for the year.

Elsewhere Chelsea battled hard to secure a win over Rye at RJ Rowley Reserve in a win that took them up to second place on the ladder.

Led by a four goal performance by Jack Francis, Chelsea were able to outmuscle their difficult opponents.

Chelsea entered the game as heavy favourites, but Rye showed they were not to be taken lightly, with Chelsea only holding an eight point advantage at the half time break.

12 June 2018

After the main break Chelsea took the game by the scruff of the neck, with a six goal to two quarter being enough to see them secure a victory 12.11 (83) to 15.17 (107).

In the final game of the split round, Hastings were able to claim a comfortable victory over Langwarrin at Thomas Barclay Oval.

Hastings got out of the blocks with pace, taking a three goal lead into the first break. Langwarrin were put on the back foot early, and struggled to ever work their way back into the contest.

Hastings’ star man Luke Hewitt contributed with his second consecutive four goal performance, while his goal kicking opponent at the other end of the ground was kept quiet. Normally dominant Langwarrin forward Jesse Murphy was limited to just one major for the game.

Hastings kept their convincing lead throughout the day, running out 13.13 (91) to 9.10 (64) winners.

Line dance: Hastings scooted to victory against Langwarrin.

Frankston Pines too slick for Strikers SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON Pines combined pace with a slick counter-attacking style to overrun Peninsula Strikers 5-2 in Saturday’s State 2 South-East derby at Centenary Park.

Strikers started on a positive note and in the 6th minute a cross from Tommy Hawkins on the right set up Ryan Thompson whose shot was parried for a corner by Pines’ keeper Jarrod Nardino.

Two minutes later Pines ruthlessly exposed the lack of pace in the Strikers’ defence when CJ Hodgson sent Mitch Lander clear through the middle and his left-foot strike from the edge of the area flew past advancing Strikers’ keeper Ash Kupre to make it 1-0.

The home team’s defence was found wanting again in the 14th minute when it failed to deal with a long throw from the left and when Pines’ captain Graham Hill was tripped inside the box referee Manny Haractsis pointed to the spot.

Hodgson had no problem converting and Strikers were staring into the abyss.

Pines were forced into a reshuffle in the 28th minute when Luca Vanni had to be replaced by big Ioasa Saemo who joined Lander up front with Hill reverting to central defence.

Strikers hit back in the 34th minute when Pines’ defenders failed to attack a Danny Brookes cross from the left and Thompson was at the back post to sidefoot home.

Lander should have restored Pines’ two-goal cushion four minutes later but his close-range effort was blocked.

In the 41st minute Chapman came off second best in a clash with Saemo which incensed Strikers’ bench but appeals to the nearby assistant referee to become involved fell on deaf ears.

Saemo was booked and Chapman had to be replaced at half-time by Kevin Derry.

In the 56th minute Lander again motored onto a pinpoint Hodgson through ball only to blast his attempt high and wide.

Three minutes later Strikers’ central defender Michael Nugent headed wide from a Ryan Wilson free-kick from the right.

In the 61st minute Brookes switched play to the right with a superb pass and Nathan Smith showed great control to bring the ball down as he charged into the area but his low shot flashed wide of the far post.

A minute later it was 3-1 after Jack Carter sent Lander down the left and

his cutback was knocked in by Saemo from point-blank range.

Kupre was injured in the process but after a lengthy treatment period was able to continue which was just as well as there was no back-up keeper on the bench.

In the 72nd minute Steve McClelland took too long to clear allowing Lander to block then tuck away the rebound to make it 4-1.

A brilliant break in the 84th minute was triggered by Kurt Wagner-Goldsworthy who sent Hodgson clear on the right and his low cross in behind the defensive line was slammed in by Saemo to make it 5-1.

In the 91st minute Wilson did well on the left of the area and his cutback found Thompson who was brought down.

Wilson converted the resultant penalty to round off the scoreline.

When the final whistle sounded it confirmed what we’d all known for some time – there was only one team out there that was prepared to meet the physical and mental demands of a derby.

The other team received a scathing assessment of its performance from

coach Lenny Greenan in a hushed Strikers’ dressing room straight after the match.

Femi Orenuga’s association with the club has ended due to visa problems.

It’s believed that the former Everton academy striker has been sent back to the UK by Australian authorities.

Although Strikers are now five points behind Pines in the race to avoid the drop there is some good news at Centenary Park.

The club hopes to sign two players from South Melbourne’s NPL under20s squad and another two from State 1 South-East outfit Morwell Pegasus this week.

Meanwhile Pines’ defender Luke Murray dismissed last week’s report that linked him with a switch to Seaford United but it’s believed that Somerville Eagles are keen to sign Pines’ playmaker Will O’Brien to bolster their promotion push in State 5 South.

In NPLW news local consortium Southern United lost 5-0 to Heidelberg United at Monterey Reserve on Sunday but made its more fancied opponent work every inch of the way.

Southern continued its player devel-

opment policy with two 16-year-olds, Sarah Tebbutt and Niamh Mclure, making their senior debuts in defence.

Hong Kong international Avery Lau leaves in early July to prepare for the Asian Games.

Southern gaffer Aaron Myatt is keen to bring in a striker and a central defender before the transfer window shuts at the end of the month.

He has been tracking a US striker currently playing in Sweden and Southern is investigating the possibilities of arranging a visa for her.

Southern’s under-12s recorded their biggest win of the season with a resounding 11-1 result.

Southern’s goals came from Emilia Ingles (4), Lauren Riha (2), Jasmine Smith (2), Eden McKeown (2) and Chiara Renzella.

The under-14s continued their title tilt with a 3-0 win thanks to goals from Candy Kilderry, Rhianna Cousens and Rhys McKenna.

The under-16s won 4-2 with Monique Lapenta (2), Haylea Porter and Briana Dias scoring for Southern while the under 19s lost 5-0 and featured a number of players from the under-14 group.

ROUND 12

In NPL2 news Langwarrin lost 1-0 at home to Box Hill United last Saturday.

Attacking midfielder Mehdi Sarwari made his debut for Langy but former Melbourne Victory midfielder Callum Goulding has quit the club and is set to sign with another NPL outfit.

Langy had the best of the chances in the first half but Box Hill keeper Matt Nemes was in fine form denying Liam Baxter, Matt Luak and John Kuol.

Two minutes into the second half the visitors struck in a lightning-quick break that proved to be the decisive moment of the contest.

Anthony Rizk motored clear on the left and his far-post cross picked out the unmarked Andrew Le Page whose low first-time volley gave Langy keeper Robbie Acs no chance.

Box Hill proved to be tough to break down for the rest of the match while maintaining a threat on the break.

Langy is considering whether or not to add to its senior squad and a decision is imminent given that the NPL transfer window shuts this week.

In State 3 South-East news Skye United dropped to third after Brighton defeated Seaford United 2-0 at Dendy Park last weekend thanks to an 18thminute goal from David Nicholas and an injury-time second from Nick Bale.

With Boroondara-Carey easily accounting for Collingwood in the other catch-up match Skye now is two points off the pace.

Skye should learn the extent of the recent knee injury to captain Marcus Collier this week while defender Saj Sugrim has joined Endeavour United.

In State 4 South news Baxter has lost midfielder Matt Morgan to Hampton Park United while striker Liam Kilner has quit citing work reasons.

But Baxter head coach Francis Beck is buoyed by the anticipated influx of five newcomers from local clubs and they are all expected to train at Baxter Park this week.

Next weekend’s games: SATURDAY 3pm: Langwarrin v Ballarat City (Lawton Park), Geelong Galaxy Utd v Southern Utd (Banyul Warri Reserve), Malvern City v Mornington (Kooyong Park), Peninsula Strikers v Mazenod (Centenary Park), Frankston Pines v Doncaster Rovers (Monterey Reserve), Brighton v Skye Utd (Dendy Park), Seaford Utd v Noble Park Utd (North Seaford Reserve), Springvale City v Baxter (Ross Reserve), Somerville Eagles v White Star Dandenong (Somerville Secondary College), Aspendale v Bunyip District (Jack Grut Reserve).

Clarke claims third in “brutally hard” race

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON Cycles owner Brad Clarke competed in one of the world’s toughest mountain bike races in South Africa on Wednesday 28 March.

Clarke partnered with common competitor, Rohin Adams, in the gruelling eight-day Absa Cape Epic race and covered more than 650km of rugged land.

With 650 teams entered into the competition, the pair managed to claim third place in the Masters category (40-49 years old) and finished 30th overall.

For Clarke, it was his second time attempting the race which included 13,530m of climbing – that’s one and half times higher than Mt Everest and the first word that came to his mind when describing the course was “untamed”.

“It’s just rugged, raw and brutally hard,” he said. “Every single kilometre you have to work for.”

“There are no easy trails, and if a section did look easy, it’d be full of sand or jagged rocks.”

While the track is incredibly demanding physically and mentally, Clarke said that that is exactly the sort of challenge which lures him back.

“It’s a real adventure and an amazing event,” he said.

“It’s extremely rewarding after you’ve put in all of that hard work in training, and then to complete the course as well.”

It has taken Clarke just over six months of training to prepare for the race in which he competed against some of the best riders from around

the world.

Having competed once before, he knew exactly what it took to prepare for the event but said it was “actually tougher than the first time”.

“I was a bit naive [the first time] and didn’t realise what I had gotten myself into,” he said.

“That’s why it was tougher this time as I knew exactly what I was in for. Whenever I got unwell in the lead-up to the race, it would stress me out a lot.

“You’ve got to get yourself to be able to commit to really hard, tough training to get to that top level. There are more hours a week that you need to put in, and it’s a bit more specific training to the race as well as you need to be able to ride for 100 kilometres at full speed.

“You have those ups and downs in the preparation but [having competed before] it helped give me the confidence that I was undertaking the right training.”

There was no financial gain for Clarke in undertaking this adventure but he said that overcoming the challenges of the course has been a massive reward.

Clarke doesn’t believe he is ready to back up again next year but said he would “definitely like to go back”.

He thinks 2020 would be a possibility but it would “depend on my situation and how I’m travelling.”
