Street market marks 40 years IF there is anything a golden retriever likes more than a swim it’s food.

And when your owner decides to sit on a bench during Mornington’s Wednesday street market you can be sure there’s food involved.

Last Wednesday was the first week of the school holidays and the sun was shining as shoppers roamed Main Street during the regular market.

But while stallholders and their customers strived to provide and buy such things as food, art items and clothing, few would have known it was the market’s 40th anniversary.

The longest running street market in Victoria began on Wednesday 26 September 1979, the brainchild of the late Tom Hast, an estate agent in the town for more than 50 years, a shire councillor, shire president (mayor) and member of many community groups including the chamber of commerce, which runs the market.

Mr Hast brought the idea to Mornington after being seeing the success of village markets during a visit to the United KIngdown anmd Europer the previous year.

These days the market’s popularity has only grown stronger, with shoppers (and their dogs) readily using Main Street’s benches for a break and to take in all the sights and sounds.

Powering up for summer Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au FIVE diesel-powered generators are being installed this month to help avoid summer power shortages or blackouts across the Mornington Peninsula.

The temporary power sources will be installed by energy generation and distribution company GreenSync at Rye, Boneo and Dromana and removed when demand drops in April.

While batteries or “renewables and demand response technologies” may eventually replace the generators, me-

tering devices, a switchboard, concrete foundations and underground cabling will be permanent.

When approving the generators at their 16 September planning services committee meeting Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors agreed to keep pressuring the federal and state governments to pay for “plug-in grid scale batteries” to eventually replace the generators.

“The equipment will be made available for the emergency generation of power when the network experiences extreme demand, 24 hours, seven days a week,” senior planner Veronica Lyn-

gcoln stated in a report to councillors.

“Once the main network triggers extreme demand, the generators are ‘switched on’ systematically.

Ms Lyngcoln said GreenSync had an agreement to supply extra power to United Energy during peak periods of electricity demand over summer.

The locations for the generators are 605 Limestone and 115-141 Browns roads, Boneo, Boneo; 340 Browns Road, Rye; and 163 and 133 (the Dromana Drive-In), Nepean Highway, Dromana.

raised no objections to the generators, which are all being installed on rural lots within the green wedge zone.

Melbourne Water, which manages a property opposite one of the Dromana generators, recommended a site environmental management plan be undertaken, but GreenSync had already submitted one.

Ms Lyngcoln said using “relatively large rural lots” for the generators “presents a suitable planning outcome with minimal off-site amenity impacts, which could otherwise be an issue if sited in an urban residential area”.

Operation of the generators has also

been cleared by the shire’s environmental health officer and complies with planning regulations.

The environmental management plan prepared for GreenSync by Erias Group says identifying that each of the five generator sites “presents relatively low risk with respect to noise, air quality, soils, vegetation, flora and fauna, spills and contamination, waste, traffic, vehicle access, Aboriginal cultural heritage, flooding, utilities and land restoration”.

Noise barriers will be installed alongside the generator at 340 Browns Road and both Dromana generators.

Shire wants more control over apartments Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au DEVELOPERS may eventually find it more expensive to build apartments on the Mornington Peninsula than in municipalities closer to Melbourne.

Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors want apartments on the peninsula built with materials that protect towns’ “valued character”.

They say apartments designed for inner suburbs may not be suited to the peninsula.

Changes to existing apartment guidelines proposed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) recommend using “low maintenance and durable” materials.

However, shire councillors want developers to use “coastal” materials, such as stone and wood.

While being more expensive and not regarded as being low maintenance, stone and wood would avoid “a very homogenous built form outcome” for apartments.

While not stated by the shire, expensive apartments may also be more in keeping with the real estate agents’ mantra of offering “resort-style living” to peninsula property buyers.

The shire also wants to discourage developers from using “large amounts of the same cladding material, particularly rendered brick/block work and aluminium cladding”.

In a submission to DELWP adopted unanimously by councillors at the 16 September planning services committee meeting, the shire says bricks and aluminium cladding “are generally

used on lower quality developments [and have unappealing] ‘bulky’ built form outcomes”.

The submission prepared for councillors by senior planner Leigh Northwood is in response to a Better Apartments in Neighbourhoods discussion paper sent to municipalities for comment by DELWP. Ms Northwood said most proposed changes to the guidelines were “con-

sidered positive” for the peninsula, but added that apartments had the “potential to significantly impact on the [peninsula’s] valued and unique landscape … as embodied in the Mornington Peninsula Localised Planning Statement (Victorian Government, 2014)”.

The discussion paper lists five policy aims for new apartment developments, including the need for: n Green space in common areas of

buildings, which preferably includes trees for shade and urban cooling, and landscaping that softens the street; n High quality building facades made from robust, durable and attractive materials that complement surrounding buildings and provide visual interest; n Protection from wind impacts on surrounding streets and open space, so the spaces are comfortable to use and likely to be used more often;

n Attractive, engaging streets that enhance the amenity, safety and walkability of the neighbourhood; and n Better managed construction impacts of building work on existing neighbourhoods.

Ms Northwood said proposed changes that needed “further clarification and consideration” before being supported by the shire included communal open space and building appearance.

Signs show a town divided over airfield TENSIONS are rising between those for and against the Tyabb airfield expansion, with one long-time Tyabb resident, who did not wish to be named, saying the town has “never been so divided – it’s getting very ugly”.

While tensions have been simmering on and off for years, the issue has reached a new peak with vandals destroying, and in one case burning, signs opposing any expansion of the airfield.

Up to 100 blue and white signs opposing any expansion of the airfield were erected throughout the Tyabb area, most on private property.

Two weeks ago airfield supporters printed and distributed coloured posters supporting the airfield (“Posters at play in airfield saga” The News 18/9/19).

The latest dispute arose after the Peninsula Aero Club and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council quarrelled over “missing” permits for businesses abutting the airfield. (“Permit row grounds airfield” The News 11/6/19).

The shire says it is working through the issue, although it is still awaiting a mastger plan for the airfield.

A stand-off over operating hours led to the club threatening to cancel the long-running Tyabb Air Show, but this has since been averted and the 2020 air show will be held in March.

The shire issued a news release last

Thursday saying it had “approved and issued the Peninsula Aero Club’s (PAC) permits for the Tyabb 2020 Airshow”.

“We were always committed to seeing the air show proceed,” the mayor Cr David Gill said. “It is a great event for the peninsula, providing significant charitable donations for the local community and a showcase for aero enthusiasts.”

Cr Julie Morris described the air show as “a staple event for the peninsula that focuses on giving back to the community”.

The air show permits can be inspected by the public at the shire’s Mornington office during office hours.

The aero club held an “open day” at the airfield over the 15-16 June weekend and posters supporting the continued operation of the airfield are being displayed throughout the area.

Aero club president Jack Vevers said mid-month the club was “very grateful to the Tyabb and surrounding communities for the “overwhelming show of support by some fantastic people.

“The airport plays a vital role in hosting emergency services to protect all of the peninsula and the community understands and values this,” he said.

However, the Tyabb resident said there were “bad vibes in the town” and people opposed to the airfield expansion were being made to feel “very un-

comfortable”.

Many of the 100 or so people displaying the blue and white anti-expansion signs were “being intimidated and had started taking their signs down”.

Fearing attacks on their property some were installing security cameras but were wary of making reports of vandalised signs to police.

One blue sign was reportedly knocked over by a car and set alight over the weekend 21-22 September. A pensioner, 76, wrote to the mayor Cr David Gill reporting the incident and saying she was frightened for her safety “after Friday night’s violence and the hate posts on Facebook”.

She said she had decided to take her blue anti-airfield sign indoors at night and put it up again in the morning.

“Many [signs] have been taken down from time to time – not by us – but recently there has been a concerted effort by pro-airport people to remove most of them,” she said.

“The airport people are putting up their own signs but they should not be removing ours.”

The woman said she had been warned by neighbours to remove her sign at night for fears it would be vandalised.

Neither Mr Vevers nor Cr Gill could be contacted by deadline for comment.

THE milk snake that a Mt Eliza man swapped for on Facebook for a PlayStation.

Picture: Peter Paplanus

Illegal snake swapped for a PlayStation A Mt Eliza Man has been fined $500 after pleaded guilty to keeping an illegal and high-risk invasive snake.

The 20-year-old, who exchanged a PlayStation for a milk snake on Facebook last year, was fined without conviction at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 17 September.

The maximum penalty for importing, keeping or selling a controlled pest animal in Victoria is $39,652.

“We are very concerned when we get a call about an exotic species being found in Victoria because of the enormous potential to threaten our native species and agriculture,” chief conservation regulator, Kate Gavens said.

“Our investigators received information alerting them to the milk snake and launched an investigation.”

Ms Gavens said milk snakes were from North America and were illegal to keep in Victoria as they are an exotic species and could potentially spread diseases to native wildlife.

“Its important people understand what animals you can and can’t keep in Victoria. In Victoria, it is illegal to trade in controlled pest animals, including milk snakes,” she said.

“It is against the law to trade in controlled pest animals such as milk snakes. Illegally traded animals are often imported and kept in ways that are cruel to the animals.”

Information about the illegal possession and trade of exotic species can be reported anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au/ report-a-crime/

Beachgoers told to steer clear of whale

Picture: Gary Sissons

SHARKS were seen eating a dead whale before it was washed ashore at Boags Rocks, between Gunnamatta and St Andrews beaches.

The 11-metre humpback carcass bore tha marks of bites from large sharks and was covered in crustaceans as it lay high and dry on rocks, Monday 23 September.

“We could see the sharks lunging and spray coming off them, their fins rising up out of the water – it was pretty full on to watch,” said environmental advocate Josie Jones who first saw the whale drifting in on the Sunday night.

DELWP incident spokesperson Kylie Hyland said: “The beach is still open, and people are advised to keep their distance.

“The whale will remain on the beach while DELWP, with Parks Victoria, manage the situation.

“Moving a whale is a complex task and many options are being discussed. The whale could weigh up to 20 tonnes.”

Ms Hyland said whale remains were protected by law and must not be interfered with.

“There is also a possibility of pathogens from the whale carcass that could be harmful to humans,” she said.

Emergency Management Victoria has put out a warning about sharks in the area. For up to date warnings check emv.vic.gov.au Cetacean scientist Sue Mason said the whale must have died shortly before it beached as the carcase had not begun to decompose.

Scientists estimate that about 33,000 humpbacks migrate along the east coast to and from their feeding grounds in the Antarctic to the warmer waters of the Great Barrier Reef, where they breed. This population increases by about 10 per cent each year. A separate population migrates along the West Australian coast.

This humpback may have been on its way south to the Antarctic to feed over the summer.

Humpbacks can grow to 16 metres, with their pectoral fins being roughly one third the length of their body.

The best places to see humpbacks along the Victorian coast are Wilsons Promontory and from high vantage points along the coast. Sightings by citizen scientists are regularly posted on the Two Bays Whale Project Facebook page.

“As we know, it is important to keep our ocean clean to reduce our impact on these beautiful creatures,” Dr Mason said.

Any sightings of entangled whales should be reported to the whale and dolphin emergency hotline on 1300 136 017.

RECREATIONAL divers are being urged to join a citizen science dragon hunt.

The call to join in the research is not associated with any mythical creature, but the weedy seadragon.

Although the weedy seadragon is the state’s marine emblem, little is known about how many of them reside in Port Phillip.

“Weedy seadragon numbers in some locations in Australia have declined, however the population in our own backyard, Port Phillip Bay, has rarely been studied and we do not know if they are suffering the same fate” Victorian National Parks Association (VNPA) ReefWatch coordinator Kade Mills said.

“The first step in protecting this iconic and unique species, one of only three species of seadragon on the planet, is to determine how many there are.

Ms Mills said divers were being asked to send in images of any weedy seadragons they spot “so we can get an idea of the size of the population”.

The Dragon Quest citizen science project launched by the VNPA’s Reefwatch program and supported by dive operators.

More than 50 divers and snorkelers have submitted more than 3000 images.

University of Technology Sydney Professor of Marine Ecology David Booth, who has been studying of weedy seadragons for 15 years, says they are “unique to southern Australia and of worldwide interest, yet we know precious little about them”.

Images submitted by the public are processed using pattern software to recognise the unique markings on the side of each seadragon, like a fingerprint. This means individual weedy seadragons can be identified without the use of tags or physical interference.

A seadragon named Elena M (after the diver who submitted the image) was found to have moved more than four kilometres from Portsea pier to the Sorrento ferry wharf in less than five months.

“This may be the first recorded evidence of a seadragon moving this far,” Ms Mills said.

“They have generally been found to stay within a couple of hundred meters of the location where they are first sighted and are very slow movers.”

Recognising efforts to save the past A LIMESTONE cottage in Ocean Beach Road, Sorrento, and cargo shed at have jointly won the Creative Reuse of a Heritage Place category in this year’s Mornington Peninsula Heritage Awards.

The 1905 limestone cottage Carmel was originally run as a boarding house by two women and is now used as a reception area for holiday accommodation at the rear of the building.

Women are running the venture these days, too – Philippa Chalkitis and Allison Manning – which is continuing the tradition in both senses. The cottage has two rooms for community use and sits in front of extensive accommodation areas on Ocean Beach Road.

The cargo shed restored by Flinders and District Historical Society is one of the few bow-roof structures remaining in Victoria and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. The shed, costing 180 pounds to build at the end of the pier in 1871, has been moved closer to the shore to enable easier access.

The shed has had 3000 visitors since January.

The cargo shed also won an award for signs explaining the history of the port, early interaction with the Bunurong/Boon wurrung people, the importance of the port for coastal navigation, Flinders cable station, which connected the mainland to Tasmania in 1869, fishing conservation and coastal defence. Garrisons have been housed at Flinders in both world wars.

The Mornington Peninsula branch of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) and Mornington Peninsula Shire announced the winners of the 2019 heritage awards on Friday 13 September.

An individual award was presented to Murray Adams for digitising more than 100,000 photographs in the collections of the historical societies across the peninsula. His work included creating the document, Who are these people and why are they honoured in this way? which identifies peninsula reserves and those they were named after.

Awards were presented by Cr Si-

mon Brooks and Kristin Stegley, chair of the trust’s board of management.

“Clever and industrious people restoring and maintaining heritage parts of the peninsula should be celebrated – heritage places are an integral part of the Mornington Peninsula community,” the mayor Cr David Gill said.

Cr Brooks said he had been impressed with the projects “and the dedication of the people involved with preserving our heritage”.

President of the trust’s peninsula branch Judy Walsh said the quality of entries for the awards “bodes well for the future of our built and environmental form of heritage places”.

From bread tags to wheelchairs

Flinders’ on-court state win FLINDERS Christian Community College students are walking a little taller after beating St Francis Xavier College by a goal in their state netball final.

Teacher Andrew Bylart said each year teams played a round robin competition open to all schools in the state based on year levels.

“Boys’ netball has become more popular each year and the competition is extremely competitive,” he said.

“Schools play round robin preliminary rounds and the school which finishes on top of the pool progresses to the finals day.

“All of the other pool winners then come together to determine the state champion.”

Flinders won its pool day in July and progressed to the final at the State Netball Centre, Wednesday 11 September.

“The competition was close all

day,” Mr Bylart said. “The games are only 14 minutes long and students must have a good understanding of the rules and regulations to win.

“Netball is now an important sport on the school calendar with the senior boys finishing runners up in the state and the intermediate boys finishing third.

“This is the second state title that Flinders has won so the boys did well.”

THE Mt Martha branch of the Bendigo bank is the drop-off point for plastic bread tags which are part of the Bread Tags for Wheelchairs campaign.

Created in South Africa in 2006, Bread Tags for Wheelchairs sells used bread tags to plastic companies and uses the proceeds to buy wheelchairs for disadvantaged South Africans with disabilities.

The plastic company then recycles the tags into seedling trays and doorknobs.

The volunteer run organisation collects 500kg of bread tags each month in South Africa, contributing to two to three wheelchairs.

Retired nurse Mary Honeybun started the program after realising how important it is, both physically and mentally, for a person to have mobility.

In August 2018, Bread Tags for Wheelchairs started collecting in Australia, and bread tags are recycled via the Australian company, Transmutation.

Mt Martha Bendigo Bank manager, Kerry Debernardi, said the bank has been collecting bread tags for about three weeks.

“We find it’s a great cause and an environmental issue we want to support,” she said.

“We were invited to be involved by BERG MM. It’s an easy and convenient project for locals Broken tags are accepted, and tags

do not have to be completely clean.

Larger tags are also suitable for collection, while bread ties are not, as they contain metal.

In addition to supporting disabled South Africans in poverty, the campaign is having a positive impact the environment by recycling plastic that would otherwise go to landfill.

Because of the tag’s small size and abundant nature, they are also a threat to native wildlife.

Burn off bans eased for season fire safety RESTRICTIONS are being eased this month to allow owners of small properties to burn off for fire prevention purposes.

Open air burning is allowed 9am-4pm, Fridays and Saturdays, on land less than 1500 square metres, provided that no more than one cubic metre of vegetation is burnt at any one time; that the fire is not within 10 metres of any neighbouring dwelling, and that general fire safety provisions are followed at all times.

The easing of restrictions on land less than 1500 square metres aims to assist owners of smaller properties reduce fine fuel in the lead up to the fire season.

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s municipal fire prevention officer Katie McKenzie said burn-off material should not be wet, or green, and general fire safety precautions should always be taken.

“This is a great chance to clean up around your property, but ensure you do it responsibly and safely, and keep your neighbours and local authorities informed,” she said.

The general fire safety provisions include

warning adjoining landowners or occupiers 24 hours prior to the burn, and calling 1800 668 511 at least two hours prior to the burn to log the fire with the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority.

The provisions also include establishing a fire break of no less than three metres cleared of all flammable material; ensuring the fire is supervised by an adult at all times; ensuring there is sufficient fire protection equipment available on site at all times; ensuring the vegetation to be burnt is dead and dry prior to lighting (no green waste), and ensuring the wind speed does not exceed 20 kilometres per hour at the site of the fire.

The eased restrictions do not apply outside of October, when open air burning is prohibited on properties smaller than 1500 square metres.

Open air burning regulations for land of more than 1500 square metres and more than 40,000 square metres remain the same.

With Stephen Taylor

Two charged over three weeks of burglaries and thefts TWO men were charged late last week over a series of burglaries and thefts in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula in the past three weeks.

A Rosebud man, 23, and a Port Arlington man, 32, were arrested at a Mornington McDonald’s car park by members of the Somerville Highway Patrol and Mornington police, 11.30pm, Thursday 26 September.

The allegedly stolen car they were driving had been seen earlier at Mt Martha and again in the restaurant car park.

The Rosebud man is facing 15 charges, including aggravated carjacking, firearms offences, theft of a vehicle and handling stolen goods.

The Port Arlington man is facing 47 charges, including burglary, theft of, and theft from, motor vehicles.

Detectives say the offences were committed between 6 and 26 September, and included an incident at Frankston on 17 September in which a man was allegedly hit on the forehead with a hand gun at a Nepean Highway service station.

The arrests formed part of Operation Night Eagle, a Southern Metro Division 4 operation focused on recidivist offenders. It aimed to reduce high harm and high-impact crimes, including vehicle-related crime.

The pair appeared before a bail justice on Friday and were remanded in custody. The Rosebud man was due to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Monday 30 September). The other man will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Petrol theft A MAN filled his car with $64 in fuel at a Baxter service station and drove off without paying, 1.30pm, Thursday 29 August (pictured above).

The white VR/VS Holden Commodore he was driving had stolen plates.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Breaking in BURGLARS entered two houses in the one street in Mt Eliza, overnight Saturday 21 September.

A couple living in a house in Arundel Court awoke to find a HTC mobile phone and iPhone 3 missing from a home office. They were valued at $600. Offenders also entered a garage and rifled through drawers at another Arundel Court house. Nothing was stolen.

THEN coach John Ward with the 1976 Peninsula Grammar cricket team, the school’s first team to win a premiership in the Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria competition. Picture: Supplied

Half day holiday for premiership PENINSULA Grammar students were given a half-day holiday when the school’s cricket team won its first premiership in the Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria competition in 1976.

The win came 11 years after Peninsula joined the competition and the holiday was declared by then principal Harry Macdonald.

Peninsula clinched the title in the final round by defeating Assumption at Kilmore with vicecaptain Tony Oliver’s scoring a “match turning” 73 runs.

Brett Sullivan and Andrew Shields were described as the backbone of Peninsula’s attack

with captain Don Rixon a linchpin of the batting line-up.

Coach John Ward said a dropped catch in an earlier game, which cost Peninsula victory, led to an emphasis on fielding and the adage “catches win matches” sharpening the team’s focus.

The 1976 premiership was the first of many for the school, then known as the Peninsula School.

In 1994, girls were enrolled for the first time and Peninsula had sustained success with the girl’s athletics team winning 12 premierships (2002-2015).

The girl’s cross-country team won the AGSV

title 12 times (2004 to 2016).

The AGSV competition started in 1920, and now has nine member schools: Assumption College, Camberwell Grammar, Ivanhoe Grammar, Marcellin College, Mentone Grammar, Peninsula Grammar, Penleigh, Essendon Grammar, Trinity Grammar and Yarra Valley Grammar.

Activities being held to mark the 100th anniversary have included the unveiling of a flagon 11 September 11 at Lakeside Stadium, Albert Park. The flag will be taken to each of the nine AGSV schools during the centenary year.

Cycling to self-improvement

Flowers her topic LANDSCAPE architect and interior designer Marilyn Elm, pictured, will speak at the next meeting of the Mornington Peninsula Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society, Friday 4 October.

She will explore our relationship with flowers which she says are intrinsically woven into the fabric of our lives as statements of fashion and status, or simply expressions of beauty to be enjoyed.

Ms Elm, involved in art and design for 40 years, is an expert in garden and landscape design and history, lecturer and speaker.

Hour-long ADFAS lectures are held at the Peninsula Community Theatre in Wilsons Road, Mornington, 5.30pm on a Friday evening. They are followed by light refreshments and an opportunity to meet the lecturer and fellow members. The first visit is free.

AN incentive program at Mornington Park Primary School in which students earn points towards owning a new – restored – bike is both insightful and productive.

The Wheeling It Forward program run by physical education and sport coordinator Tim Fitzpatrick encourages the students to “do the right thing” and, in this way, earn points from a teacher towards reaching the magical 100 points target.

They are then able to choose a bike rebirthed and repaired by New Peninsula Mt Martha Men’s Shed members as their reward.

The students build up points, called tokens, for good behaviour, such as displaying school values, being cooperative and nice to each other, drawing up lists of goals and actions and achieving them, picking up rubbish, and running activities for younger children.

So successful has the program been that a spin-off: teaching bike maintenance and basic repairs to troubled students – won the Active Schools category in last year’s Tidy Towns Award. Men’s shed members played an active role in teaching and guiding the students in the program.

“It was a great way of building connections with the men and bonding with them as positive role models,” Mr Fitzpatrick said.

In another bike-centred first, 20 of the school’s students took part in a 20km section of the Around the Bay in a Day ride while being sponsored

by United Energy. Mr Fitzpatrick said seven were riding bikes earned under

the tokens’ program.

Restoring and repairing the bikes is the kind of grassroots project ideal for men’s shed members. New Peninsula Mount Martha Men’s Shed coordinator Peter Chenoweth said they were happy to provide the resources in the knowledge that children will benefit in the end.

“It’s a good project to be part of,” he said. “We started last year and so far we have given away 30 bikes and there a few more being worked on.”

The shed absorbs the costs of the

works which, hopefully, are covered by grants. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council supports the men’s shed and it received a grant last year from Vic Roads.

Experience has taught the shedders to work smarter, not harder, on their Tuesday and Thursday morning stints.

“We are working out the best and easiest ways to do repairs and get bikes to a usable standard, with no rust or torn seats and always new brakes,” Mr Chenoweth said.

The repaired bikes are displayed at

the school so budding owners can see what they might own one day. “It’s like an incentive to them to work for,” he said.

“Not only are we meeting a need for men to connect with each other once they are retired but we hope we are helping to encourage and grow the self-esteem to our youth.”

Anyone wanting to donate bikes or sponsor the shed can contact Peter Harris 0407 012 788 or Mr Chenoweth 0418 501 137.

Children and parents want action on climate change Children do know (“Children don’t know” Letters 4/9/19). They are well educated by their parents and children’s rights are abused in so many ways, for example, generations of greed squandering the Earths resources so we are eating into our natural capital.

They are guided, not misguided, by parents like me who go to these events with their children demanding action for this climate emergency.

Many retired gentlemen have enjoyed the luxury of a highly commercial background where women and children are seen and not heard.

Close enough to departing this mortal coil not to worry about climate change affecting them.

Scientific understanding in the community is very low. Take the knowledge about each AGL gas shipment (if they come to a terminal at Crib Point) bleaching half a billion litres of seawater from Western Port every day.

It is fact that sea level rise is happening. This is why the Yaringa Harbour development approval was pushed back 15 metres by DELWP due to climate modelling.

The beach boxes are threatened by storm surges and severe weather events in Port Philip (“MPs disagree with experts over beach’s survival” The News 28/8/19).

Entering into a Punch and Judy show makes no sense. What makes sense is that the lungs of the earth, our forests, are not producing oxygen when they are destroyed. Burning fossil fuels and modern farming practices create methane and nitrates that pollute oceans and heat the planet.

There is a formula that says how hot it gets depending on carbon dioxide levels. This creates faster winds pulling up more moisture drying lands then dumping water.

But you are not interested in facts and children standing up for their future. Sue King, Somers

Australia’s shame What is there to say about our prime minister [Scott Morrison] whose preference to attend an “innovation hub“ [in Chicago] instead of the climate change forum [at the United Nations in New York]?.

I feel shame for my country to be expressing such a shallow approach to the greatest challenge of the future.

The anger shown by [Swedish schoolgirl] Greta Thunberg is an honest declaration to the blindness of [US President] Donald Trump and his followers.

Scott Morrison’s use of flattery is despicable: to be at an “innovation hub” is an insult to Australia.

Patricia Rayner, Capel Sound

Praise for climate activists I have just returned from the student climate change protest at Mornington (20 September) and commend everyone for standing up to be heard. Too many are still so ignorant of the consequences of climate change and, unless this is publicly raised in these visual demonstrations, they will not be informed (“Hundreds call for action on climate” The News 25/9/19).

Mornington MP David Morris (or a representative) didn’t even come out of his office to acknowledge the concerns of the protesters, yet the politicians have just given themselves an 11 per cent or $20,000 pay rise in the state parliament. I think it is unrepresentative, lazy and rude.

Truly, one has to wonder what politicians are gettingpaid for, particularly when so many working people are getting cheated of their wages and superannuation; minimum pay rises at the most; and many others can’t even get jobs or enough work to pay the bills.

Worse when the Liberal Party’s support of fossil fuels and lack of action on climate change is destroying our region, our state and our nation.

Kaye Mackay, Rye

Change is real I am not going to mention names, only the subject matter of letters mentioning climate change.

I was criticised because I mentioned, incorrectly, that the Okojull Glacier was in Greenland when it is in Iceland. For that, I apologise (“And now, the news” Letters 4/9/19).

PAGE 14

Mornington News 1 October 2019

There was no comment from the writer showing concern that the glacier had disappeared.

There were no comments about melting Icebergs and glaciers or the inundation that I mentioned.

Nor was there a comment regarding the burning Amazon forests. All we got was reference to a survey that was five years out of date and denigration of a 16-year-old girl.

Another letter writer is obviously of the “old school” where children should be seen and not heard (“Children don’t know” 4/9/19). These kids are far more intelligent and have more savvy than he gives them credit for. I talk to my grandkids and we can have quite lively informative debates at times.

If the writer sat down and talked to his grandkids like people he might, just might, get a pleasant surprise.

The [Port Phillip] channel deepening was a great mistake and the bay is suffering for it, but I’m more concerned along with millions of others over the natural inundation through ice melting at an alarming rate.

Just a couple of other things for the deniers to digest: The Australian Medical Association (not exactly a loony left oganisation) has declared climate change as a health emergency. It claims “climate change will cause injury and mortality from increasingly severe weather events”. Russian scientists have discovered five new Islands in their area due to the melting ice.

Watching society Pondering water bills, service charges and other authorities’ charges. Highway robbery.

What exactly is Australia’s China policy?

Answer: whatever Donald Trump, via Rupert Murdoch, decides it is.

Cigarette prices at $1.35 a smoke. Patiently waiting a supermarket special on spam.

A budget surplus is a book figure, and a lie or, if it suits a fallible mind, think along the lines of paying Peter and Paul. An appeal to non-smokers. Vaping is risky. Kindly do not practice this in the dedicated smoking areas.

My favourite question for Liberal voters: “What are your party’s policies?”. If Adam Goodes and Stan Grant came out with their opinions of the Morrison government’s attitude to race relations I’d be more likely to listen to them.

Power shortage “Recharged - and your pick-up is on the way” (The News 3/9/19) was rather like an advertisement for electric cars, presenting only the most excellent aspects and omitting the negatives.

The article begs a few questions: Who pays for the free electricity and why? Are electric cars that hard to sell? Will free recharges be available for 10 years and what about road taxes?

Why does no-one ever mention car battery voltage - a lethal 320-400 volts, or higher?

Electric cars are not emission-free, the Victorian grid power is three-quarters coal or gas fired, particularly at night.

The 22kw “fast” charger mentioned needs more than an hour to recharge the 28 kilowatthour battery in that compact car. Family sized cars typically have 60-100kwh, and larger, batteries.

You have a single car sitting on a “bowser” for an hour, maybe three.

Sure, there are superfast chargers around, but they can be detrimental, only charge to 80 per cent, and still take 30-90 minutes.

I love the concept of the simple electric car, but only when they develop a small, lightweight, cheap, high capacity, quick- charging battery, together with the necessary technology to transfer 200kwh from the “bowser”, through a cable into the car, in 10 minutes, will I buy one.

I hope to have one in my next life, or the one after.

My household uses about 60kwh of power a week. One single recharge for a family car

would be nearly double that.

To have all electric cars, Victoria would need to triple its electricity generation.

We presently have power shortages and blackouts predicted for this summer. We desperately need another Hazelwood power station, or two, immediately, not electric cars.

Coastal instability So our 11 [Mornington Peninsula Shire] councillors have joined their inner-city mates and declared a “climate emergency” on the peninsula.

I’ve tried looking at their backgrounds to find who among them is the climate scientist, but came up empty handed. About the closest I could find was Cr Sam Hearn citing cliff slips, beach box damage and sand loss at Mt Martha North beach as proof of this impending disaster (“MPs disagree with experts over beach’s survival” The News 28/8/19).

It really is annoying when these five-minute locals come in and preach to those of us whose families have used these beaches for more than 100 years.

One of the first jobs my father did on leaving school was assisting his elder brother and father on clearing the clay from a cliff collapse below Parer Street, Mt Martha in 1920/21 with draught horses and scoops.

In the early 1960s other major collapses occurred at Craigie Road and North of Fossil Beach ( Foster’s slip that took out the Esplanade to the centre dividing line ) and is on the Selwyns Fault line. Also at this time, a solid brick changing pavilion and toilet block together with app 20 bathing boxes below Hawker St were destroyed in a storm. This led to the erection of the seawall between Craigie Rd and Helena St which has more than anything else led to the loss of sand at Mount Martha North beach. In 1970/71 other major collapses occurred below Prescott Ave and Morrisons Avenue.

If you want to know about sea level rises at Mt Martha, why not ask someone who sat on the beach 60 years ago rather than listen to hypothetical theories from someone in Europe?

Michael G Free, Mt Martha

Curtailing freedoms Assertions by Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party MP Jeff Bourman about the evil animal rights movement are very questionable (“MP pushes harder line against animal rights activists” The News 16/9/19).

I can understand that the party, true to its NRA-inspired dogma of complete individual freedom, would be upset by any attempts to show up the unsavoury side of animal husbandry in our country. But to give away ever more of our democratic rights to dissent is playing into the hands of our ever more brazen security services attempting to turn Australia into a police state, with the help of the major parties.

Without the dedication and sometimes over eagerness of our animal rights groups, many of the transgressions by rogue businesses dealing with animals would never come to light. How the freedom loving shooters and fishers can look their constituents in the eyes after promoting regressive laws to curtail freedoms of the individual is beyond me.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Majority rules Let’s pretend that you are just getting ready to board a plane to Timbuktu that seats 150 people and 148 of those are aeronautical engineers on their way to a convention on air safety. The other person is a consultant (Billbo) for the airline company who designed and built the airplane.

As the boarding call is made the 148 aeronautical engineers refuse to board after noticing the plane is a slopbucket 394AZ which has a dismal safety record and this is the last of 150 built that has not yet crashed with all on board loosing their lives Billbo, however, being paid by the manufacturer to provide safety reports, ridicules and berates the 148 engineers for not boarding.

Are you going to board the plane? No? Then why would you discount the 99 per cent of climate engineers on their findings on global warming and its root cause?

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Hasten to Hastings As an old pensioner who likes to get out and about weather permitting and with seasonal climate change now allowing the morning temperatures to regularly exceed 12 degrees, I often go for a drive.

I live well away from the sea and often drive to the coast and walk around the shops and buy lunch; if it is market day that is a bonus.

I frequently visit Hastings as unlike other towns there is plenty of unmetered parking along Marine Parade and a pleasant well maintained grassy area with picnic tables around Pelican Park with lovely walking areas and lots of attractions like the jetty, boat harbour, colourful yachts with their clanking rigging, cafes and a clean public toilet.

Walking up the main street with it’s wide footpaths I was amazed to find around 60 per cent or so of the shops empty with a prime retail shop spot now occupied by a funeral parlour overseeing the departure of almost everything else bar utility shops and cafes and only a couple of market stalls now they have been brought back from the K-mart area after the council’s extensive improvements to street furniture and bays.

I find this a shamefully underutilised town with almost no pedestrian traffic bar the occasional swish past of a few mobility scooters.

As no retail here seems able to survive a winter season without the crowds of visitors and holidaymakers I hope some short leases will be offered to revive the main street so the town looks lived in again. Hopefully they will return soon as the much-hyped recession is not due to strike till late next year.

Clive Edmead, Boronia

Crime claims questioned It seems that Hastings MP Neale Burgess is pretending to be a “cop on the beat”, which is an insult to our local police ((“Law and order” Letters 25/9/19).

He claims that “due to escalating crime rate locally and the complete lack of response from the state government”. I want him to produce facts about what he claims.

The facts are the crime rate continues to decrease and it has nothing to do with him but the work of our wonderful police force.

Heel pain in the morning YOU’VE just started putting in the extra miles, walking or running to get fit, and suddenly putting weight on the base of the foot, near the heel makes it ache, and makes more training a painful prospect.

That sharp pain in your heel can be a symptom of plantar fasciitis, a condition of the connective plantar fascia tissue in your foot, and traditionally very difficult to treat.

Physiotherapist Melanie Jones says Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury that can feel as though you have a pebble in your shoe.

At Back In Motion Balnarring, we have several solutions for this condition. Firstly, it is important to look at your whole lower limb biomechanics. As a result, we can work on your strength and flexibility in your leg and foot, prescribe orthotics, tape and teach taping, and use massage and ultrasound to reduce inflammation. We have a unique way of mobilizing your foot and teaching “foot core stability” to reduce pressure on the plantar fascia.

Apart from the above solutions, there is a newer healing technology that is making a profound difference to Plantar fasciitis sufferers.

Practice owner and physiotherapist, Paul Rowson says shockwave therapy is often useful, because the Plantar fascia is a connective tissue,

not a muscle. “It puts a significant shockwave through the tissues you apply it to,” Mr Rowson says. “It is a pressure wave which brings blood flow to the area. Tendons and connective tissue do not have much blood supply and can take a long time to heal. Shockwave artificially stimulates the healing of the tendon”.

Shockwave therapy can also be used on Achilles tendonitis, tennis and golfer’s elbow, and rotator cuff tendon problems, and is usually most effective on long term chronic problems, rather than acute injuries.

Both physios say that Shockwave is not the first line of treatment for injured patients. Physiotherapy and graded exercise are more likely in the first instance. For more stubborn conditions, shockwave has shown good results in other Back In Motion clinics. “The evidence at the moment suggests between three to five treatments are required, but most people should see an improvement within three sessions. It has a 90% success rate,”Ms Jones says.

The Shockwave therapy is administered for a three-minute period to the affected area during consecutive weekly appointments.

“It is a bit of an uncomfortable sensation,”Ms Jones says, “like most physio hands-on treatments with a little discomfort during the treatment.”

Mr Rowson says,” After each session, most people get a significant reduction of pain and symptoms.

Long term it stimulates healing, short term it reduces pain.”

“Probably the best thing is, the effects are long lasting. It stops a lot of people having more invasive things like surgery or injections. The treatment is considered safe, but can produce skin reddening or bruising, short term pain, and cannot be used on people taking blood thinning medications or with bleeding disorders.”

“It is important to know that shock wave has a long-term effect. Most of the time you have good outcomes without having to do further treatment.” says Mr Rowson.

It notched up six nominations at the ARIA Awards and saw her sing at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Audiences are in for a treat with a performance from unquestionably one of Australia’s finest live acts, Thirsty Merc.

The band’s big break came in 2004 with the release of their debut, self-titled, album which included the hits, Someday Someday and In The Summertime.

From the wide entry foyer you veer right, into a formal lounge room which could form part of a larger parents retreat, as this wing of the home also encompasses a separate study and the gracious master bedroom - complete with huge walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom. Soaring highpitched ceilings and modern colours accentuate the excellent sense of space to the family zone which also receives a healthy dose of natural light. A neat kitchen has a pleasant country theme with polished timber benchtops extending across a welcome amount of cupboard space and appliances here include a dishwasher. The kitchen overlooks the dining zone and into the large family room which accesses one of three timber decks around the home. The west wing is perfectly set up for children and guests with an incredible third living zone and two more bedrooms both with built-in robes that share the main bathroom with spa bath. The huge corner block has been superbly landscaped with established gardens that shield the home from the street; there are also great swathes of lush lawns and a paved driveway leads up to a separate double garage with workshop and extra storage.n

Improve your mobility AFTER experiencing an accident, injury, illness or surgery, the prospect of how to begin your journey to recovery can be a confronting concept, particularly when you have been suffering for a prolonged period of time.

These concerns can often be the reason why a person decides not to seek the proper support for rehabilitation – they think it’s just too hard. As a result, they may not fully regain their mobility and movement.

The specialist rehabilitation team at Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital know that rehabilitation can be a daunting experience, and are careful to ensure that you are never pushed beyond your limits during treatment.

Before your admission, you are assessed by a rehabilitation nurse who works with you to establish your individual goals and the best possible way to achieve them.

Life starts at 50 HAS the family home become a pain to maintain with the kids no longer around to help mow the lawns or clear the gutters? Perhaps you’re contemplating a move to something more manageable but don’t want to retire from the things that make you happy?

Well thanks to a luxury development in Melbourne’s South East, with no stamp duty, conveyancing fees, or ongoing council rates to pay, there’s never been a better time to downsize to a bigger life and enjoy the fruits of your hard work.

Lifestyle Chelsea Heights offers new opportunities for fun and friendship in a secure community of working, semi-retired and retired people over 50. Homeowners enjoy 5-star resort-style facilities set in fully landscaped and maintained gardens, such as an indoor heated pool and spa, outdoor pool, cinema, gym, library and computer centre, bowling green, alfresco BBQ dining space and a community bus for visits out and about town.

Built by Todd Devine Homes, all contemporary-styled homes feature quality fixtures and fittings, landscaped front and back gardens and split-system heating and cooling. Front gardens are maintained by the community gardener, leaving homeowners more time to relax and do more of what they love.

Homeowners can spend their spare time enjoying activities like yoga,

aerobics classes, dancing, woodwork or attend wellness seminars and other social calendar events such as cocktail happy hours, karaoke, and trivia nights. All of which might just represent a new beginning for those who are young at heart and deserving of a little luxury, with enough “wow-factor” to make the kids just a bit jealous.

A community management team lives onsite to oversee the community and help homeowners with many of the small but important administrative elements of daily life. This is also a wonderful enabler for those who like to travel, as you can rest assured that when you go on holidays, your front garden is being maintained, your on-site Community Managers are keeping an eye on things, and you can have the confidence of living within a safe and secure gated community.

Aside from amazing facilities and features, homeowners at 18 Lifestyle locations around Victoria describe the feeling of settling into their community of likeminded neighbours as an embrace.

According to Steve and Lyn from Lifestyle Chelsea Heights, living the life you deserve is about so much more than wonderful facilities and fun activities to keep you busy. “It’s the neighbourhood. We have a sense of neighbourhood like when we were young.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Peninsula premiership won by Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE grand final of the Peninsula Association was played on Saturday at Somerville, Frankston winning the premierships after a strenuous contest was manifested, and a large crowd assembled to witness the match.

Mornington, who at the beginning of the season were apparently invincible, had lost a lot of their dash, and the team lacked cohesion and system.

Frankston, on the contrary, had improved on every day’s play, and on Saturday were undoubtedly the superior side.

Moon, Gregory, and P. Darcy were out, and, Reddick, Tevendale, and E. McComb took their places. Except for these alterations, the team was the same that met Hastings on the previous Saturday.

Connell, Mornington’s captain, was out owing to injuries, and although well served by their leading men, Mornington had many players not up to standard.

Their great weakness was in the forward lines, where men were seldom in their places, and to this fact must be assigned the reason for their defeat.

The wind was a factor slightly favouring the tennis court goal, and Frankston has its assistance first, but were only seven points ahead at the change.

Mornington did better, and at halftime had not only wiped off the deficit, but were leading by nine points.

Frankston’s time came again in the third term; they added 5 goals 3 points while Mornington’s scoring remained stationary.

Eight goals to four in Frankston’s

favour at the last change was a great handicap, but sensational deeds have been recorded in even one quarter’s football.

Mornington made a stern fight, and reduced their opponents’ lead considerably, but the final bell found them still two goals behind. *** OUR LETTER BOX. FRANKSTON LIGHTING. To the Editor.

Sir, In view of the statements appearing in recent issues on this subject may we be permitted to make some observations in reply.

Why these complaints, we ask, at a time when we have been passing through the most difficult period in our company’s experience?

For weeks our efforts have been taxed to the utmost to keep up a supply of lighting and our staff has been kept at constant strain to produce gas at all from the very low gas contents of the slack coal placed at our disposal by the Coal Board at considerable cost.

As a matter of fact, operations were conducted at a loss during the Seamen’s dispute, notwithstanding, a gas supply was maintained, though on several occasions every pound of coal was used up before further supplies arrived.

We were faced with the position of being unable to generate sufficient gas for both gas and electric services.

As for town lighting, gas cooking and private lighting in many cases depended on gas, we gave this service preference in the interests of the greater number.

This arrangement left an inadequate

gas supply for the gas engines which run the larger electric generator.

We were consequently, reduced to the running of the small generating set throughout the evenings which ordinarily is run from a late hour to early morning.

This arrangement we know gave a very inadequate service, but it was the best possible under the circumstances.

Now that we are able to obtain supplies of proper gas making coal the larger plant is again supplying a satisfactory electric service.

Consumers cannot expect the same advantages as in a city electric service.

We have about ten miles of transmission lines carrying about as many consumers as could be supplied from half a mile of transmission line in a city street.

Frequent interruption to lines result from gales of wind causing contact of trees with lines or contact of one wire with another resulting in an interruption of current; as these occur at night it is impossible to locate the trouble along dark roads until daylight when the lines can be patrolled.

Frankston is one the worst of districts for electrical transmission owing to the number of trees and scrub on the line routes which grow rapidly and have constantly to be cut back.

Other causes of stoppage, we could mention, have occurred, for which we are in no way responsible.

Causes likely to interrupt services are being overcome and we see no reason why a satisfactory electric service cannot be assured for the future.

The town of Frankston is fortunate in having both a gas and electric supply

and it is doubtful if any other town in the Commonwealth of equal size can claim this distinction.

For the information of those who do not know and to remind those who may have forgotten – some years ago there was a gas company in Frankston.

A dispute arose between it and the then Shire Council, and the company eventually ceased to supply gas and removed the greater part of its gas mains and some of the plant.

We purchased the interests of the old concern, it being proposed to remove the plant to another town.

We were, however, approached and asked to re-establish the works and were promised support by residents and the Shire Council. We eventually agreed to do so.

Other mains were laid, plant added and the supply of gas started.

For some years the concern did not pay. We claim that by our enterprise we have done more for the advancement of the town of Frankston than any other person or body.

In the matter of public lighting and in other ways we have sought to meet the council in every way possible.

Two years ago we were receiving for lighting £7 10s per month, and today it is £11 5s.

The service included gas, lighting and extinguishing, mantles, chimneys etc.

A lot is apparently expected from us but there has not been much by way of encouragement to us.

In regard to complaints – as is often the case, those who have the most to say in the matter, have the least cause for so doing; others of our consumers

JOHN DITCHBURN, Managing Director. Frankston Gas and Electric Supply Coy, Melbourne, 25th September. *** LOCAL dairymen notify by advertisement in another column that they have increased the price of milk to 6d per quart. *** MR. A. C. Coxall, who has carried on a successful butchering business in Frankston for the last 20 years has sold out to Messrs Morris and McKenzie of Woodend.

The new firm took charge on Wednesday last and their business announcement appears in another column.

It is the intention of Mr Coxall and family to continue residing in Frankston for the present. *** MR A. McKinnon, who has purchased the freehold of the Prince of Wales Hotel, Frankston, has had plans prepared for extensive improvements to the existing building, including a new balcony.

In exhibiting the plans to a local resident last week Mr McKinnon said he intended spending well over £1,000, on the work.

He promises to be a progressive townsman and is likely to take a keen interest in the progress of the place.

TIM FREEDMAN - WHITLAMS CLASSICS AND A FEW NEW SONGS gold albums in their repertoire.

Tim’s solo performances are a mixture of charming cynicism and delicate piano, and have become as popular as his four-piece band shows. The Whitlams’ success has always been about the emotional core of his songs, and when the rock adornments are removed and the band left at home, that core is laid bare in the intimate atmosphere of a piano bar. Tim’s show will draw songs from across his entire career including “No Aphrodisiac”, “Blow Up the Pokies”, “Buy Now and Pay Later” and “Thank You (for loving me at my worst)”.

The last few years have seen the band play their “Best of” with every state orchestra

around the country including seven nights with the Sydney Symphony at the Sydney Opera House. Their 1997 album, “Eternal Nightcap”, was recently voted No. 17 in the Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time on Triple J. In January 2019 The Whitlams were the house band on ABC’s ‘Australian of the Year’ telecast in which they mashed Baker Boys “Mr La Di Da Di” with their own hit “You Sound Like Louise Burdett”. More recently they completed a national tour playing their 1999 album “Love this City” which was given a four star review in the Sydney Morning Herald saying the album ”has held up as well as Freedman’s affecting tenor”.

Winners and losers in 2019 DIVISION ONE SEASON WRAP

By Brodie Cowburn Winners: Dromana THE Tigers came into division one full of confidence after winning promotion last year, but not even their most optimistic fans could have predicted the success to come.

Dromana were impressive in 2018 and ran out deserving premiers of the second division. They made history by becoming the first side to be promoted in the new two division MPNFL format, and their performance in division one would prove to be an interesting insight into the gap between the two competitions.

Dromana didn’t miss a beat and relished the opportunity to play against the best. An excellent run of results at their home ground helped prop up

their season, and they ended up heading into the finals in third position.

They only finished below last year’s grand finalists Pines and Sorrento on the ladder.

After knocking off reigning premiers Pines in week one, Dromana were comfortably defeated by Sorrento in week two of finals. They didn’t drop their heads though, and came back to win their grand final spot with a win over Bonbeach.

The Tigers avenged their previous loss to the Sharks by claiming the win over them in the grand final.

The win capped off a dream year as Dromana went back to back.

Bonbeach BONBEACH had a disappointing 2018 season, missing the finals series. Under the guidance of Steve Hughes and Trent Dennis-Lane, they showed great improvement this year to prove they could hang with the

best of them The Sharks came into finals with a 50/50 record, but looked a dangerous side all throughout the finals series.

They knocked off powerhouse club Frankston YCW in the first elimination final with ease, but it was the following week where they would truly impress.

Faced with the task of knocking off the reigning premiers, Bonbeach smashed Pines to move onto the preliminary final. Although Dromana eventually stopped their run, the Sharks can hold their heads high after an impressive finals run.

Formerly AFL listed player Trent Dennis-Lane played a big role all year and helped his side to a better result in 2019.

Peter Williamson will coach the Sharks in 2020.

Losers: Mornington

AFTER showing glimpses of promise in season 2018, Mornington came into the year with hopes of a decent showing. Unfortunately for them, it was not to be.

The Bulldogs found themselves rooted to the bottom of the ladder for most of the year, and copped some big losses.

They ended up bottom by a game and a massive percentage difference.

They will play in the second division next season.

Pines THE reigning premiers started the year off on the right foot, but found themselves out of form at the wrong time.

A difficult run into finals saw Pines finish second by two games, but they still remained a side with the quality to beat any team if they played at their best.

The Pythons couldn’t correct

course by the time finals came around, and were shockingly eliminated in straight sets. Their premiership defence fell flat with consecutive losses to Dromana and Bonbeach.

Their 2020 season will be made more difficult by the losses of powerful midfielder Paul Scanlon and Tim Bongetti.

Frankston YCW POWERHOUSE club Frankston YCW had a difficult time with injury and form last season, which resulted in a second week finals exit.

Despite their attempts to restore themselves to their past glory, they fell short again this season when Bonbeach defeated them in the first elimination final.

Next year will see some changes at the club, with 2017 premiership coach Wayne Capp set to depart.

Stirton quits, Hine signs on again SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie DAVID Stirton has left Langwarrin while Josh Hine has agreed terms for a second season at Mornington.

Stirton contacted head coach Scott Miller and club president Tanya Wallace last week to inform them of his decision.

The 28-year-old was one of the more experienced NPL players on the club’s books having had stints with South Melbourne, Bentleigh Greens, Dandenong City and Port Melbourne and is regarded as one of the best set piece specialists in the competition.

“It’s just about game time,” Stirton said, a reference to the number of matches last season in which he failed to make the starting line-up.

“I came off the bench a number of times and scored some important goals but the next week I was back on the bench again.

“I spoke to Scott about it and he said he didn’t want to change a winning team even when my goals were winning us points.

“I didn’t want to be a supersub again. I think I’m better than that and I just found it really frustrating.

“I wanted to finish my career at Langy but obviously that’s not going to be the case now.”

Stirton has already fielded offers from other NPL clubs including one from Doveton which brought his father Iain to Australia for the 1983 season.

“I’m not keen to drop below NPL2 so let’s see what comes up,” he added.

Stirton and Jordan Templin tied for Langy’s Golden Boot award this year.

At this stage eight of last year’s senior squad have agreed terms for next season and every senior player has met with the club and been made an offer.

The ones that have signed on are Wayne Wallace, Jamie Cumming, Jaiden Madafferi, Fraser Maclaren, Brandon Jansz, Damir Stoilovic, Alex Van Heerwarden and Dylan Kilner.

The club also has spoken to prospective newcomers but has yet to agree terms with any of them.

Scottish midfielder Scott Lochhead has been training at Lawton Park and still could be on Langy’s radar if his visa issues are resolved.

The 22-year-old has an impressive CV which includes spells with Rangers, Celtic, Dundee United and Dunfermline and he arrived in Melbourne in February to join Bentleigh Greens.

It’s unclear whether John Baird will rejoin Langy after the experienced Scottish striker’s inaugural Australian

season there.

Baird returned to Scotland a few weeks ago to take up a short-term deal with former club Raith Rovers currently on top of League One. On Sunday at Langwarrin’s junior NPL presentation day Taylan Unal won the Ben Caffrey award as the club’s NPL junior player of the year.

Unal had a remarkable season winning the best and fairest and players’ player awards in the club’s championship winning under-15s side.

He also won the league Golden Boot award with 44 goals making him the top scorer in both the East and West divisions of the competition.

Meanwhile Mornington reached agreement with English import Hine last week.

It was a boost for the Dallas Brooks Park club as Hine had a few NPL suitors keen to use the services of the former Salford and Boston United player.

“That’s a big one for us,” Mornington gaffer Adam Jamieson said.

Hine has made quite an impression in his first Australian season, winning the club’s top scorer award and finishing second in the league equivalent.

The club has also agreed terms with Taylor Davidson, Kyron Kerr, Sam

Scott, Craig Smart and Andy McIntyre and when Jamieson returns from a two-week holiday he’ll be holding a series of meetings with current players and prospective targets.

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers head coach Danny Verdun has decided to take a break from coaching.

Verdun returned on Sunday from a brief trip to the Gold Coast with wife Cathy and let Strikers president Adrian Scialpi know of his decision.

“As a club we will always be in debt to Danny who has become a friend and who leaves on very, very good terms,” Scialpi said.

“We want everyone to know how much we value his professionalism which was a wonderful asset to our club and we can’t be more grateful for what he brought to us this year.”

Strikers will sort out their senior and reserves coaching positions over the next week.

Verdun’s assistant Neil Standish is also keen to take a step back from coaching due to family commitments but is likely to be involved in some capacity.

In State 3 news both Max Boulton and Alex Whyte are firmly on Frankston Pines’ radar while senior

coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor remains on the lookout for an assistant.

Both Boulton and Whyte played under Taylor for Langwarrin’s under-20s in the 2018 season.

Boulton played with Casey Comets last season while Whyte switched to Peninsula Strikers but they are no certainties to sign for Pines as other clubs have shown interest.

In State 4 news head coach George Hughes and assistant Robert Mathieson look set to stay at Baxter.

Hughes confirmed this last weekend but struck a note of caution after his baptism of fire last season.

“I don’t want to go through what we went through last pre-season regarding players,” Hughes said, referring to the struggles the club had to field a senior side just to meet its FFA Cup commitments.

This continued into the early part of the league campaign but Hughes and Mathieson finished off the season with a highly competitive and confident side which defeated local rival Seaford United and only lost to third-placed Sandown Lions through the only goal of the contest in the 96th minute.

“If we can keep the squad together and add a couple of new players then

I think we could do something next year,” Hughes added.

Holding onto the versatile Stuart McKenzie is a priority as he has attracted the attention of a number of clubs.

One newcomer could be ex-Peninsula Strikers and Frankston Pines defender Laban Stringer.

The 24-year-old could be used in central defence alongside experienced defender Matt McDermott freeing club captain Izaak Barr to play as a full-back or a holding midfielder.

State 4 looms as one of the more interesting leagues in 2020 with Somerville Eagles being promoted to that level of competition so derbies against Baxter and Seaford United are on the horizon.

The clash with Seaford will be of special significance for Somerville goalscoring legend Dave Greening who rewrote the record books during a highly successful spell at North Seaford Reserve between 2011 and 2014.

Somerville’s joint senior coaches Scott Morrison and Greening and reserves coach and senior assistant Stan Packer will hold talks this week before meeting with director of football Zach Peddersen to discuss the upcoming season.

The club already has identified players that it wants to target and expects to retain “about 90 per cent of last season’s senior squad” according to Morrison.

Charlie Conrath won’t be one of them as he is set to return to the UK but Morrison is keen for veteran striker Mark Pagliarulo to pull on his boots once more.

“He’s more than capable and he had a brilliant year for us and could back it up easily,” Morrison said.

An upgrade of Tyabb Central Reserve should get underway next month and be completed by Christmas while Barber Reserve has been allocated $200,000 to upgrade the facilities and floodlights.

A $50,000 feasibility study at Barakee Drive Reserve in Somerville should begin shortly when soil testing is conducted.

In State 5 news Lee Barber and assistant Thomas Raby look set to be reappointed at Aspendale Stingrays.

Barber was in charge of the youngest squad in the league last season and is optimistic about his side’s prospects in 2020.

“If we can add a couple of onfield leaders then we should do well,” he said.

Campbell Rawiller rides first winner HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou IT took just five rides for 18-year-old apprentice jockey, Campbell Rawiller, to ride his first career winner at Moe on Tuesday 24 September.

After making his race riding debut at Jerilderie, NSW (a non-TAB meeting) on the previous Saturday, Rawiller made the most of his sole ride at Moe aboard the Cameron Templetontrained Girl On a Train.

Despite not being wanted in the market and jumping at $31, Rawiller entered the race with hope and settled his mount down at the rear of the field.

Utilising his lightweight, Rawiller stormed home down the outside fence to score an impressive last-to-first victory in the Rising Stars series heat.

The son of multiple Group One winning jockey, Nash Rawiller, said it was a massive thrill to score his first winner from his first ride in Victoria.

“When I was in front, I got very excited that’s for sure,” Campbell Rawiller said. “It was a huge rush and thrill and just all the jockeys too, they were all so good to me - everyone came up and congratulated me.”

Rawiller has transitioned from riding in 35 trials to riding in races as smoothly as one could hope, with his boss, Mornington-based trainer Logan McGill, saying he’s taken it all in his stride.

“He wasn’t as nervous as I was at the races,” McGill said. “I thought he’s given every horse a chance. It’s a big thing going from the trials to the races, but I thought he did a fantastic job that

first day and then to back it up with a winner on his second was fantastic.

“We are absolutely rapt for him.

He’s done such a good job in a short amount of time and it was just good to see him get that and get on his way.”

As well as having plenty of support from his family, friends, coaches and trainers, Rawiller said making the most of his experience at the trials has helped a lot with the transition to race riding.

“Obviously in trials you’re not trying to go for your position as quickly as you are in a race but I really tried to prioritise throughout my trials not just to ride the trial but I really wanted to focus on jumping and straight away putting a horse into position,” he said.

“If that meant bringing them back to slot in for cover, it makes a big difference for when you get to race day and it’s not all a big surprise. It’s great to now finally be out there racing and putting it together.”

Rawiller is looking forward to the coming months with plenty of nonTAB meetings fixtured in the calendar as he aims to gain further experience and work through his claim.
