Roped into a more lawful way of life LEARNING the ropes takes on a new meaning when it’s backed by a court order.

For the past 10 years many young offenders have been “sentenced” to teaming up with police to take on the challenges posed by a giant swing and tree top ropes.

And the results, according to the Ropes Program organisers at the YMCA’s Camp Manyung, Mt Eliza, is that 90 per cent of the young participants have not reoffended.

The program was established under a partnership between Victoria Police, Dandenong Children’s Court, Sport and Recreation Victoria and YMCA Camp Manyung to give first time offenders under 17 a second chance and help persuade them that there is little value in adopting a life of crime.

“At first, when the young people arrive at camp, they are generally apprehensive and sit around on their phones. By the end of the day their attitudes have shifted; they are engaging with everyone and thinking more positively about their future,” the YMCA’s Mike McInnes said.

“The program demonstrates that the power of the great outdoors and the right organisational partners working together can contribute to building a safer local community and empower vulnerable young people to make positive change.”

Senior Constable Leanne Cooper said about 90 per cent of young people participating in the program over the past decade “have not reoffended, which is testament to the positive impact of the program”.

Planners back ‘super’ market Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PLANS to redevelop the former Masters’ site in Mornington into a 4250 square metre supermarket, six retail outlets over 6950 square metres and a 100 square metre cafe, has received strong backing from Mornington Peninsula Shire officers.

A report by planning services team leader David McPherson considered the “strategic justification” of a supermarket exceeding the “as-of-right” 1800 square metre floor area; changes to the Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme by the state government; the impact the use would have upon other activity centres

The mayor Cr Bev Colomb has previously said the development of such a large supermarket “out of town” would undermine Mornington’s “retail hierarchy” (“Concerns over ‘mega’ market”, The News, 21/3/2017).

“Certain size supermarkets suit certain size townships,” she said. “Our concern is the sheer size of a supermar-

New hat for day to remember Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au IT’S just a hat – a Digger’s slouch hat – but the memories it stirs in Mornington veteran Laurie Hill go back 70 years to the dark days of World War II. Mr Hill, 91, joined the Australian Imperial Forces in 1943 – a month after his 18th birthday – among five of six brothers who enlisted and who all returned home safely.

An infantry signaller in the jungles of Bougainville, Papua-New Guinea, he recalls daring escapades, including tying up a Japanese prisoner with signalling wire and tapping into Japanese phone lines to eavesdrop on enemy communications.

He fondly recalls the Japanese surrender in August 1945 and the celebrations for Victory in the Pacific Day, when UK entertainer Gracie Fields sang The Lord’s Prayer to thousands of troops and “it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop”.

Mr Hill was discharged in January 1947 and returned to work in an electrical store, rising to become manager. He then joined Myer as a department manager and retired in 1985 as a furniture buyer.

He and wife Jean, now deceased, were married in 1951 and had three daughters.

Approaching this week’s Anzac Day commemorations, Mr Hill was keen to replace the slouch hat he had lost during the fighting and contacted Flinders MP Greg Hunt for help.

Mr Hill’s daughter Julie said it was great news that Mr Hunt’s office was able to provide a fitting replacement in time. It was presented to Mr Hill at Benetas Corowa Court, Mornington, where he now lives.

He also received a letter from the Army, Certificate of Appreciation for his service in World War II, as well as a medallion, issued in 2005, commemorating the 60th anniversary of war’s end.

Permits top $1 billion in 2016 THE value of building permits issued on the Mornington Peninsula last year was up more than 40 per cent up on the previous year.

Data released by the Victorian Building Authority shows the value of permits was $1.08 billion – well up on 2015’s $769.2 million.

It showed the value of building permits issued in the state was a record $32 billion – up 7.6 per cent on 2015.

The shire recorded growth in the value of all building categories other than industrial, which fell despite an increase in the number of permits for the category compared with 2015.

The peninsula was one of 12 Victorian municipalities where building permits valued at more than $1 billion were issued last year.

“The VBA data shows there was strong growth in the value of building permits for dwellings on the peninsula, with domestic (housing) rising 17.8 per cent over the previous year and residential (which includes apartments) surging 2196.2 per cent,” VBA chief executive Prue Digby said.

Four of the top five building permits by value reported in the shire during 2016 were for the residential building use category. One was for buildings at Cape Schanck valued at $128 million.

The others were for a winery, hotel and function area at Merricks North, $22.4m; an aged care building and car park at Mornington, $13.5m; 34 apartments, shops, restaurants and basement car park at Rosebud, $12.9m, and an apartment/carpark and shops and offices to complete a project at Mornington, $10.9m.

Sports club to fight rent rise Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Hastings Cricket and Football Social Club is contesting plans by Mornington Peninsula Shire to increase its rent by more than 900 per cent.

The club says it “cannot be a signatory” to the proposed lease as it is “a contradiction of the Gambling Act (2003)”.

Councillors last month agreed to increase the annual rent for the club’s Marine Pde, Hastings, premises - which also houses gaming machines run by The Hastings Club - from $4000 to $42,234 for the first year of a new 21-year lease (“Rent rise tied to pokies”, The News 11/4/17).

The club will then face $5000 a year increases for two years with reviews every five years.

The club has written to the shire saying it believes a lease which is tied to gaming revenues contravenes the Gambling Regulations Act (2003).

“Is it the intention of [the shire] to knowingly contravene the [act]?” The Hastings Club president Peter Lewis stated in a letter to the shire property operations leader Greg Collins.

“Either way, it would be amoral of us to consider agreeing to the ‘offer’ or alternatively, entering into a lease agreement with [the shire] under these conditions.”

The club is resisting signing the lease despite the shire’s property and strategy manager Yasmin Woods having said “all legislation” had been taken into account when assessing the club’s rent.

She said Kingston and Knight Accountants had

reviewed the club’s financial statements and audited its community benefit contributions.

Mr Lewis, in his 20 April letter to Mr Collins, states that the club has been “denied the opportunity for negotiation and excluded from representation”.

He also said Cr Kate Roper had used “misinformation” about the club having $2 million profits in an email defending the proposed rent rise.

Cr Roper, in an email seen by The News, said she had tried to have the rent “increased very gradually”.

She said there had been a “very anti-gambling feeling” among councillors and “none of them wanted to give the club any discount”.

Cr Roper said the council’s decision – “which was not explained properly in the newspaper” – provided for rent over $10,000 to be spent on the club’s sports grounds and community groups in the Hastings area.

As the only sporting club to have gaming machines on the peninsula Hastings could not be compared to other clubs which were not paying “commercial” rents.

“According to many observers it was a stunning win to get what I did for [the club] although it was more dramatic for the newspaper to go with such a negative slant,” Cr Roper stated.

The club’s general manager Michael Horton describes Cr Roper’s claim of having had a “stunning win” as “complete bollocks”.

“We have always wanted distribution of our rent to remain in the Hastings community; that’s always been our argument,” Mr Horton stated.

Visiting, learning: Red Hill Ward’s Cr David Gill with David Maddocks, of the Manton and Stony Creeks Landcare Group, at the new information panels at the Red Hill Station Reserve.

Panels tell a district’s story INFORMATION panels at Red Hill Station Reserve tell the story of the area which has become a hub for families, walkers, and bike and horse riders.

The panels were put up by Manton and Stony Creeks Landcare Group and Red Hill Community Association.

Historical information came from the Shire’s Bittern – Red Hill Railway Conservation Management Plan 2014 with old photos provided by the Dromana and District Historical Society.

The park opened in January last year after the area was cleared and revegetated with 2000 indigenous plants. It includes a playground, barbecue and covered seating.

The landcare group’s David Maddocks said the community park had become a “much-valued hub for Red Hill and Main Ridge residents and visitors and is frequented by many families,

walkers, bike and horse riders”.

“Importantly, we like that the first signage panel pays tribute to the Aboriginal custodians, the Bunurong people, and features a brief background to their traditions,” he said.

“The other panels refer to the old train line that ran from Bittern to Red Hill 1921-1953 as well as the cool store and their important roles in the Red Hill and Main Ridge area. Other features include a trails map and the fauna and flora of the region.”

The project was jointly funded by the shire and Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning through the Communities for Nature grant secured by the Manton and Stony Creeks Landcare Group.

It won a Keep Victoria Beautiful Tidy Towns – Sustainable Communities Award in the category “Protection of the Environment” last year.

‘Super’ market plan

Anzac cavalcade for MCG’s big day

Continued from Page 1 Mr McPherson said officers’ assessments had aimed to achieve consistency with the activity centre hierarchy by way of limiting other retail elements and providing restrictions to ensure businesses within the site do not directly compete with independent retailers on Main St, Mornington.

“Furthermore, this is considered to be a unique situation with limited scope for re-use of the old Masters building and surrounding infrastructure,” his report stated.

The officers said the role and function of existing activity centres would be “largely unaffected … because the proposal does not create potential for smaller scale specialty stores to be ‘transferred’ out of existing town centres which would undermine the independent retail fabric of Main St. “The proposal would then also sustain the objectives of the Mornington activity centre by protecting its low-scale village ambience and seaside atmosphere … and its focus on Main St and will not detract the focus on Mornington as a major activity centre.”

The report said the size of the proposed supermarket was “not excessive and is no larger than the existing Woolworths supermarket at Bentons Square shopping centre … the largest supermarket in the catchment area”.

Supermarkets within the catchment area are said to have exhibited strong performance levels and are “in a position to cope with the competition in light of the anticipated growth of retail spending of $130.6 million per annum over the next 10 years”.

The council’s economic development unit said one extra supermarket would “not impact the economic viability of surrounding activity centres, with the Bentons Square supermarket being one of the most profitable and busiest supermarkets within Victoria”.

“With Bentons Square at capacity the effect [on the activity centre] may be negligible, especially considering population growth in this area of Mornington.”

The report predicted shoppers would continue to be attracted to Main St’s “lovely traditional town centre [and] seaside feel, due to the village experience”.

ALAN Day, pictured, was last week again preparing to join the ranks of veterans being driven around the MCG before the traditional Anzac Day clash between Collingwood and Essendon.

It is the second time that he has been invited to be a passenger aboard the cavalcade of cars once reserved for veterans of the Gallipoli landings.

However, with survivours of that campaign long since gone, the role has fallen to survivors of other landings.

In Mr Day’s case it was Balikpapan on the east coast of Borneo when the Australian Seventh Division struck on 1 July, 1945; he represents all men who served in that battle.

Alan Day was born in Ivanhoe in February, 1922 and when 18 he attended an RAAF training course at Bradfield Park in NSW with the aim of becoming a member of aircrew.

During the course he was injured in a horse riding accident and had to withdraw. Although disappointed, it turned out to be a lucky break for Mr Day as the other 19 members of his course were posted overseas and none returned.

The mishap led him become a medical orderly and by the age of 19 he was in Darwin where he served from 19425. During this time he survived more than 50 Japanese air raids, including the massive attack on 19 February, 1942 when the town was attacked by 242 aircraft.

Mr Day also served on Morotai and, as the tide turned against the Japanese; he reenlisted in the army which was short of manpower for the planned landing at Balikpapan.

He recently returned from Adelaide where he attended the 75th memorial service for 18 squadron NEI-RAAF

Forces Association which he served as president, 1994-95. Mr Day is now president of the Darwin Defenders Association (Melbourne chapter) and in this capacity he was invited to Darwin in February to commemorate the Bombing of Darwin day.

Although he has retained strong links with Ivanhoe RSL of which he is a life member and the oldest surviving member, Mr Day has contributed much to the RSL and Legacy since his move to Mornington 15 years ago. Although many of the veterans have passed on, he says there are 1500 war widows on the Mornington Peninsula that Legacy cares for.

Before coming to Mornington Mr Day was awarded the medal of St John of Jerusalem for his service to war veterans and war widows.

THE Mornington lodge of Freemasons Victoria last week gave $10,000 to help the Luke Batty Foundation’s advocacy for “a government that supports and respects victims of domestic violence, and holds perpetrators accountable”.

The donation was accepted at the lodge in Barkly St on Thursday 20 April by Rosie Batty whose son Luke was killed by his father Greg Anderson at cricket practice, on Wednesday 12 February 2014.

Since the Luke Batty Foundation’s inception, Ms Batty has continued to be a voice for victims while campaigning for systemic change, by ensuring family and domestic violence remains a priority on the political agenda.

Ms Batty told lodge members that the foundation “greatly values each and every organisation that stands beside our cause and wish to express how much your support is greatly appreciated”.

“Your generous donation has ensured the Luke Batty Foundation will continue to give voice to women and children experiencing violence and ensure they are recognised, respected and heard,” she said.

Ms Batty believes it is possible to “create a safer future for all women and children”.

RESPONSIBILITY, RESPECT, INTEGRITY, PERSONAL BEST

Stargazing at The Briars A RECORD crowd attended the Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society’s monthly Stargazing night at The Briars Astronomy Centre last week.

Coinciding with the ABC Stargazing Live TV program, visitors zoomed in on the moon and its craters, as well as planets Jupiter and Saturn, from the new Peter Lowe Astronomical Observatory.

The 200-plus crowd enjoyed the usual “Talk and Telescopes” format which was enhanced with several speakers and the use of members’ telescopes for viewing the cosmos.

Door prize winner Arundati, 7, was thrilled to win a telescope which could set her on her way to becoming a budding astronomer.

The Briars Astronomy Centre, established in 1992, has been the focal point of the society’s observation activities ever since. The Peter Lowe Observatory, with its advanced telescopes, is the first dedicated public astronomical observatory on the Mornington Peninsula.

The 50-yrar-old society has been holding regular viewings at The Briars and at nearby schools throughout that time.

Members say it aims to promote astronomy as a fun activity for all ages as well as providing learning opportunities for those interested. Some have won world-wide acclaim for their work, and several images shown in the Stargazing Live program came from members.

The society regularly meets at the Peninsula School, Mt Eliza, to review the latest discoveries with invited speakers.

Regular members’ nights and public stargazing events are held at the astronomy centre.

Strong bond: Former nurses at the Royal Melbourne Hospital celebrate 50 years since their training days with functions in Mornington. Picture: supplied

Rules, discipline forged long bonds for nurses THE old rule that nurses “live in” during their training years ago forged bonds which are still strong today.

This was apparent when 35 out of a group of 50 former nurses at the Royal Melbourne Hospital met in Mornington earlier this month for 50-year reunion celebrations.

They included an open house at Maureen O’Brien’s home near Fisherman’s Beach, a cocktail lunch at the Royal Hotel the next day and an after-

NEW CHILDCARE AND KINDERGARTEN 6 weeks | 5 years

noon tea at Chris Knott’s home in Rye the day after.

“Discipline was harsh when we began training in April 1967,” Ms O'Brien recalled. “The hours were long and the work included many menial tasks, such as boiling the syringes and trying to remove the barbs on the needles which certainly weren’t disposable in those days.

“For young girls, in many cases straight from school, being confronted with death and enormous responsibility was traumatic.

“However, the debriefing we had afterwards with friends and the hilarious situations we often encountered and shared created a rapport that we recapture after years of not seeing each other.”

A highlight at the reunions was Ms Knott appearing in an original nurse’s uniform, with her arrival heralded by the dropping of metal bedpans.

Eleven of the women still work in nursing, including Gay Walters, of Mornington, who is a unit manager at Frankston Hospital.

THE view of the pier at Sorrento will change if plans form a two-storey ferry terminal are approved.

Terminal change sought for Sorrento’s ferry MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is expected to approve changes to its planning scheme to allow a two-storey ferry terminal to be built at Sorrento.

The terminal is part of a $30 million proposal by Searoad Ferries to extend and update buildings and car parks at both Sorrento and Queenscliff.

Under present zonings the transport terminal at Sorrento should be run by Parks Victoria, but the shire is likely to agree to amend the planning scheme and override the prohibition.

The proposed terminal will be 9.5 metres high and include a cafe, shop, souvenir shop, “Museum at the Bay” and offices for the ferry operator.

The plan also includes a new ticketing building and a larger staff car park.

The terminal will have a retractable boarding gantry for passengers to board the ferry directly from the building.

The two ferries - which operate hourly 7am6pm daily - each year, carry 1.5 million passengers between Sorrento and Queenscliff.

The service is regarded as a vital road link between the Mornington and Bellarine peninsulas and an integral part of tourism infrastructure.

Dump green waste GREEN waste can be dumped for free from cars, utes or trailers, at Mornington Peninsula Shire’s transfer stations, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 28-30 April.

The transfer stations at Truemans Rd, Rye, McKirdys Rd, Tyabb, and Watt Rd, Mornington open 8am-4pm Friday and 8am-5pm Saturdays and Sundays.

Green waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber. No commercial vehicles or commercial green waste will be accepted on the free dumping days and proof of address is required, such as a driver’s licence.

To beat expected delays at Mornington, residents are being advised to consider using the Tyabb site. The Mornington site has a limit of three cubic metres of green waste a trip.

Residents can pay for a 240-litre fortnightly kerbside green waste bin collection service in the shire’s “urban area”.

Club rails against rent Continued from Page 5 Cr David Gill - who also tried to rein in the rent increase “to give the club time to adjust” - told The News on Thursday that he had not been satisfied with the Ms Woods’s explanation that the rent hike did not contravene the Gambling Act. “My advice is for the club to hold its ground and see whether council will kick them out,” he said.

The club also questions the $1.2 million value attributed to the buildings and land it occupies as “most of the capital improvement was provided by members of the Hastings Club”.

The club is on Crown land managed by the shire.

Mr Lewis said resentment was building among club members who saw their efforts to improve the site and buildings led to increases in rent.

The shire’s Responsible Electronic Gaming (EGM) policy – acknowledges gaming makes “positive contributions to the community” – says it must consider the net socio-economic impact of gaming on individuals and the community in all council policy, planning, strategy development, land management and community development.

The club, which raises money for cricket and football clubs, has been there since the 1970s and now runs gaming machines as well as providing

meals, operating a bar and function rooms.

In her report to council’s Monday 27 March meeting property and strategy manager Yasmin Woods said the club had been paying $4000 a year in rent since 1996, and if three-yearly reviews had been made the current rent would have been $30,250.

The club’s 2015/2016 annual report shows a net profit for the year of about $199,000 with the gaming room operating surplus of more than $930,000.

Gaming revenue increased to $2.22 million in 2016 from $1.99m in 2015.

“The council should not be expected to offer a rental subsidy because the club has an obligation to expend gaming revenue of community services or activities,” Ms Woods stated.

The Valuer-General Victoria recommended charging the club $60,000 a year rent, but Ms Woods suggested giving the club a 50 per cent discount and making the amount $30,000 plus one per cent of gaming room receipts ($22,234) for a total of $52,234.

The motion moved by Cr Kate Roper and adopted by council set the rent at $42,234, which includes $20,000 for land and buildings plus one per cent of gaming receipts. The rent will increase by $5000 for each of the two following years.

Overcoming fears leads to success “LIFE is what happens while you are busy making other plans.” The quote from former Beatle John Lennon was part of a talk at an International Women’s Day Breakfast at Mornington Racecourse.

It was used by speaker Kate Carnell to illustrate her life: from her early years as a pharmacist to her current role as Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman.

Early in life she realised that to succeed in business she needed to make people feel important, to listen to and be interested in her staff and customers.

More than 400 people attended the breakfast, which is a collaborative effort by Frankston North Rotary and the Frankston, Peninsula 2.0 and Mt Eliza Rotary clubs. Money raised goes to community projects.

After a 15-year career in pharmacy, including being the first female national vice-president of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Ms Carnell went on to serve as Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory from 1995-2000 and has since held various CEO roles. Her advice to those wanting to succeed in life and career: be ethically true to yourself, engage with the community and be willing to take risks.

The second speaker, Susan Berg, author of The Girl Who Lived, recounted the trauma when, as a 15-year-old, she was the sole survivor of a boating accident in Western Port that claimed the lives of her mother, father and brother. Suffering from survivor guilt, Ms Berg charged down a path of self-destruction. In the fol-

Activist dies at 72 PROMINENT Mornington Peninsula environmental activist Eunice Cain has died after a short illness at the age of 72.

Mrs Cain of McCrae was a founding member of the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association, formed 20 years ago over concerns about inadequate shire rubbish disposal and to oppose plans to build a marina at Rosebud. She was secretary and later president of the association.

Mrs Cain co-founded the Friends of Rosebud Beach and Foreshore, whose volunteers (including her husband John Cain) completed extensive revegetation on several sections of the foreshore over many years.

Her funeral is tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10am at Rosebud Funeral Services, 123 Jetty Rd, Rosebud, followed by a burial service at Dromana Cemetery, Arthurs Seat Rd, Dromana.

lowing years she continued to face significant challenges and hardship, including domestic violence.

Then, aged 30, she escaped death again in a motorbike accident.

This was a catalyst in turning her life around and refusing to remain

a victim of her past. She fought through her demons learning to love herself – and life – again. In January this year, she faced her greatest fear: open water, and helped conquer it by swimming in the Lorne Pier to Pub race. On 26 February, she completed

the Rip Swim at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay. These challenges were all part of her ongoing journey of self-healing and her aim of encouraging other women to confront and overcome their fears.

REGISTRATIONS have opened for the RSPCA’s annual Million Paws Walk.

More than 25,000 dog owners expected to take their four-legged friends to one of the events being held across the state on Sunday 21 May, including at Fred Smith Reserve, Hastings.

Anyone who registers can also extend their support by setting up their own fundraising page.

Money raised through registrations, merchandise sales and online fundraising will go towards RSPCA programs, adoptions, veterinary services, campaigns and rehabilitating animals seized by RSPCA inspectors.

No truck with Easter carnival at The Briars I would like to express how appalled I was by the recent use of The Briars [historic property, Mt Martha] to host the food truck carnival over the Easter weekend.

I am a Mornington resident and a regular visitor to The Briars, where peace and tranquillity can normally be enjoyed while walking along beautiful, well-maintained trails that run through the enclosed nature reserve. I feel this was totally ruined when hordes of people and vehicles descended over the long weekend, creating a lot of alien noises and smells that must have been highly distressing to wildlife in the reserve.

I briefly ventured into the free event around 3pm Saturday to see what was taking place and I discovered crowds of people who had gathered for the loud staged entertainment and food trucks. Nobody seemed to show any obvious interest in participating in nature walks or visiting the historic homestead.

I am not ignorant to the fact the Mornington Peninsula has an economy that is largely based upon tourism and visitors who wish to enjoy the natural scenic beauty. However, I seriously believe that the majority of people who attended the food truck event at The Briars did not notice their surroundings and would not have noticed any difference had the event been held in the car park at Bunnings.

Given that the same food truck carnival had been held at Mornington Racecourse, I really can’t see why the same crowd-appropriate venue could have not been used again.

Hopefully the inaugural Briars food truck carnival will be the final Briars food truck carnival.

Finance committed I remind Ian Bennett that the state Liberal/National Coalition in government did commit funds to an aquatic centre for Rosebud (“Show us the money” Letters 18/4/17). A media release from me in November 2014 announced a $3 million commitment from the better pool fund for the aquatic centre. Labor has refused to support this commitment.

As for the cost of the project, I notice that those opposed to the project seem to conveniently and with no basis, keep adding a further $5m to the cost every time they write a letter.

Now that the anti everything group has reached an imaginary $50m cost I expect their next letter will see the cost rise to $55m.

The southern peninsula needs an aquatic centre for residents of all ages, those needing swimming lessons, lifesaving training, hydrotherapy, tourism and employment.

Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

Protect environment I wasn’t going to reply to Martin Dixon’s attack on me, but, I thought, “sod it” (“Pool the effort”

Letters 11/4/17). Martin Dixon suggestion that I don’t care for the children, elderly and the nippers is nothing more than a gratuitous insult.

He, as our representative in the state parliament, when the Liberals were in power, could have agitated his mates for a pool anywhere, but Martin Dixon was fixated in the destruction of the Rosebud foreshore.

I was, and am, about protecting the environment. I was against [Nepean MP] Martin Dixon’s push for a marina in the heart of Rosebud. I was against his push for a pool on the Rosebud foreshore and his 10 point plan for Rosebud was laughable, especially placing cabins on the foreshore in our winter climate.

Martin Dixon would have been better off pursuing a better transport system for his electorate, especially as the transport minister was in the next electorate of Mornington at that stage and, as for me having anything against school children and community, I have three little words to direct at him, Moorooduc Primary School.

From what I understand, a 50-metre pool is regional and, as Frankston has one, the southern peninsula does not qualify to get one, so the private, public partnership is an option.

I know it may sound socialist to some, but, why not free public transport to Colchester Rd for the nippers and the elderly?.

John Cain, McCrae

Fool’s paradise We live in fool’s paradise down here on the peninsula. Or is our population finally waking up to the fact that our governments, federal and state, Labor or Liberal/National are conspiring to condemn our future generations to a very bleak life? I sincerely hope so.

We’re treated like mushrooms by our leaders’ actions on climate change and environmental protection. Are they all so beholden to the interests of corporations through the donations they receive from these faceless entities? Or are they so incompetent that it is beyond their comprehension that we need to lessen the use of carbon fuels in today’s world to save us from destroying the biosphere we all, people, animals and plants so much depend on? It is a damning fact that our leaders in Queensland are hell-bent to facilitate the biggest coal mine in Australia.

This is all happening while our Great Barrier Reef is getting hammered by the consequences of coral bleaching caused by global warming at an unprecedented level.

Our great leaders are actively sucking up to a known environmental vandal by the name of Adani to get India to put more CO2 into the atmosphere by burning all the coal from the proposed Adani mine.

The government is contemplating to sink $1 billion into this doomed adventure. How many housing units could be built with this money for our ever increasing hordes of homeless or

NEW super discreet INVISIBLE in canal TITANIUM hearing aid

destitute people?

Of course, should the traditional owners of the said land dare to object, the government in the white man’s usual way, is waving the big stick of further disenfranchisement of the guardians of our earth.

Wake up peninsula people and tell your respective politicians to start making meaningful decisions to give our future generations a chance to live on a liveable planet.

John Clarke on set A beautiful piece last week from Keith Platt on the great man, John Clarke (“Defender of the bay dies hiking in the hills” The News 18/4/17).

I worked with John in two films, television and on stage.

Satirist extraordinaire, storyteller, actor, director and thoroughly nice man.

I wrote the following in a blog: “Melbourne Cup Day 1986. Always a long day’s rehearsal under director Armfield, the Monday, ‘Away’ by Michael Gow. Up at 7am to work at Yarra Glen for a 10-hour day. After, a drive to Melbourne, Kingsway, a part in a half hour movie, ‘Man and Boy’ written and directed by one John Clarke with an old mate Terry Gill and a new boy, Frank Magree. 9.30pm, a night shoot, till around 4am. Eventually located the previously unknown (to me) director looking like an extra, having a beer. Offered me one. Accepted. ‘Any instructions?’ I asked. ‘Improvise,’ he said. I did.

We shot a scene and he said ‘More. Don’t worry about it. Take it as far as you like.’ Unusual, but it suited me. A three hour sleep and back to another brutal day’s rehearsals. Did other stuff with the man but it was a play I remember best.

A police commissioner, last minute replacement for another actor who became unavailable. Lots of words, John the writer, also playing the judge, script on his desk. Got to a line and memory deserted me. John intervened: ‘Perhaps you were going to say’ and delivered my line. John was the sort of chap who makes you feel good to have known him, and very much the smartest, as well as the nicest man one could ever hope to have known. Thursdays, no more, John Clarke and Bryan Dawe. Sad, left with magic memories.”

Save green wedge We applaud the plan to open [the late Dame Elisabeth Murdoch’s] Cruden Farm, Langwarrin up for community use in accordance with her wishes. However, we do not favour the idea of subdividing off 15.8 hectares of the land for residential development. This land would need to be excised from the green wedge and would set a precedent for more such proposals involving the carving up of green wedges for good causes.

You can just see many other landowners lining up for the same sort of treatment.

There is precious little green wedge land remaining; we can’t afford to lose more.

Last month, the Minister for Planning [Richard Wynne] released Plan Melbourne 2017-2050 that contains the following commitment: “Maintain a permanent urban growth boundary around Melbourne to create a more consolidated, sustainable city.”

It would be very difficult for the minister to

approve the rezoning of Cruden Farm and the movement of the urban growth boundary before the ink is even dry on the new plan.

We suggest that the land proposed for subdivision could still be sold for an appropriate green wedge use, such as farming or recreation, without threatening the future of this and other green wedges.

Trevor Shewan, president, Defenders of the South East Green Wedge.

Simple needs I have a simple landline telephone connection used for phone calls only. I do not use it for internet.

I keep getting advice, pamphlets, letters and phone calls telling me that I must connect to the NBN. I don’t want or need the NBN, I just want to continue to make phone calls in the usual way, pay Telstra every month and have the occasional hour-long chat for the flat rate of 20 cents local.

Me and probably five million other Australians.

I need to know if my phone service will continue as usual or will I be forced to use the NBN or even cancel the service and stick with a mobile phone.

I rang Telstra and was transferred me to an overseas call centre who don’t even know what I’m talking about because they can only read from a script.

Is there anybody out there who knows the facts and can answer the question? You’d help an awful lot of people.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Blood on the tracks Horseracing’s ever-growing bloodbath continues to shock and horrify even those who profit from it. Last weekend, a jockey died and two others were seriously injured in a three-horse fall in Warialda in NSW, while in Sydney a race was abandoned when another fall saw the horse Almoonqith killed on the track in front of thousands of spectators after he broke a leg.

When even racing commentators describe a horse race as “absolute carnage”, it is clear that enough, for this vile industry, is far more than enough. An average of over two horses die each week on Australian racetracks, usually with little fanfare.

Horses are raced too young and too hard and their bones are not up to the immense impact and stress. They routinely suffer from injuries, lameness, and exhaustion. Horses are whipped and forced to run at break neck speeds. And to keep them running when they should be resting and recuperating, they may be given painkillers, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatory drugs.

All this leads to broken legs and death.

For those horses who manage to survive, few will be retired to grassy pastures. Most owners are unwilling to bear the costs of horses who aren’t making them money. Unwanted horses typically are shipped to slaughter.

Any death on the racetrack is tragic and unnecessary. But at least jockeys have the choice to be involved. For most of the horses, except for the tiny minority who win big money, there is no choice but a cruel, painful, and untimely death.

Environmentalists make a move after 50 years

Part of the wetlands at the Stricklands’ Bittern property.

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au AN afternoon tea for Peter and Kathie Strickland at Balnarring Hall in midMarch was an “acknowledgment of their considerable contribution to the local environmental and art communities”.

The couple, active members of community groups and environment organisations, are leaving their Beattie Av, Bittern, home and moving to Queensland to be near their children after more than 50 years on the Mornington Peninsula.

The farewell was attended by friends and representatives of these groups. “[Kathie and Peter] have made many friends and been inspirational with their sense of commitment and can-do attitude and, importantly, they have always delighted in sharing their knowledge and mentoring others,” farewell organiser Annette Bunyevich said.

“This can be seen in their passion for the environment, particularly in maintaining its integrity, and promoting the planting of indigenous species.

“They have been involved in the establishment and nurturing of the Balbirooroo Wetlands at Balnarring, which is a treasure for the community and, especially, for pupils at Balnarring Primary school for whom it is

‘Locals know best’

From the heart: The Stricklands present a painting of the Balbirooroo Wetlands to Shanti, the Balnarring Environmental Action Team captain, to be forwarded to Balnarring Primary School at assembly.

a wonderland of experiences and learning.”

Ms Bunyevich said the school motto, Where Nature Meets Nurture, underscores the school’s role as a Sustainability School. “The wetlands, after years of hard work by many people, have developed into the wonderful oasis,” she said.

“Peter’s detailed botanical illustrations of its flora and fauna are placed along the Wetlands walk, as are drawings by Nambooka about their Koori

story.

“Peter and Kathie were involved from the early days, donating indigenous plants from their Kareelah Nursery and rolling up their sleeves at community plantings and working bees.

“Their love of nature is reflected in Peter’s wonderful paintings of the peninsula and of many other breathtaking places around Australia.”

Mr Strickland was the foundation art teacher at Woodleigh School.

ARTIST and author Peter Strickland, who along with his wife Kathie has put together a series of books on indigenous plants, said the Mornington Peninsula had to decide whether it was going to be just a playground for Melbourne or an entity in its own right.

“We face lots of problems regarding population expansion, such as farmland, hotels and resorts and transport versus virgin bush,” he said.

“We have got to be more selfcentred and do what suits us, such as deciding whether we want to develop the port of Hastings or have Western Port as a relaxation area.”

Mr Strickland said the peninsula “had been lucky”.

“We have lots of little parks and reserves and a foreshore that is a gem of the highest order, yet we are allowing big buildings to be built right up to the beach.”

He said “huge holiday weekenders” were being built at Somers and Balnarring, adding pressure to services and reducing access to the few small car parks.

“Some long-range planning will have to take place or we will be left with a hotchpotch. Someone will have to put their foot down.”

Mr Strickland praised the role of local environment experts whose views should be taken into account when governments plan major projects. “It infuriates me when councils hire outof-town consultants when they should be taking notice of local experts who live here, work here and know the area backwards,” he said.

The couple say they are not politically aligned, although their frequent well-reasoned letters to the editor are, naturally, for such an environmentally-focused couple, soft-Left.

They enjoy the work of their Probus club and will miss their many friends.

“I am very keen on painting and will continue painting,” Mr Strickland said.

Their new home is at Palmwoods, inland from Maroochydore, which is closer to two of their children: Helen, a potter and environmentalist, and Pedr, an electrician. A third child, David, lives in Canada.

SIGNS at Mornington Peninsula National Park outline the plight of the hooded plover.

Dog ban ‘helps plovers’ THE state government says banning dogs from the coastal Mornington Peninsula National Park has already proved its worth in protecting the endangered hooded plover.

Parks Victoria says eight chicks survived the most recent breeding season compared with one two seasons ago.

The controversial dog ban was put in place along the 42 kilometre coastline in November 2016 to protect the hooded plover and its habitat.

Banning dogs has also enabled Parks Victoria to extend fox control programs to help protect the 32 other fauna species of conservation significance that also inhabit the park.

Parks Victoria is undertaking regular targeted patrols to ensure people continue to obey the ban.

“Our dog ban is protecting the hooded plover and benefitting all wildlife in the national park.”

Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio said.

MP for Eastern Victoria Daniel Mulino said a “few people” had been caught disobeying the dog ban over summer although “most … are doing the right thing - which is helping us protect the Peninsula."

Bowls winners: Mark Stannaway, Kim Ronan and Phil Crowder with Chris Thoday, of Mercedes Benz Mornington.

Winners felt right at home ONE of Mt Eliza Bowls Club’s own teams won its major tournament of the year on Saturday 8 April.

It won on a countback over a composite team of Darren Mathers (Karingal), Jammie Corney (Hastings) and Peter Chard (Ringwood). Both teams had won all their games and had to be separated by counting their shots up over all games.

Competition was tight, with four teams on four wins going into the final game. When a storm rolled in the fifth game could not be completed,

so it was shortened to four ends.

The invitation event attracted 24 teams of bowlers competing for a $2000 prize pool.

This year the format was changed by dropping traditional teams of four playing longer games in favour of two bowl triples, with five games of eight ends played by each team.

Arthur Tu, a trainer for Brisbane Lions AFL team when they are in town, gave massages between games, with donations going to Guide Dogs for the Blind.

THE Can Do Kids concert, 7-8.30pm, Thursday 4 May, at Peninsula Community Theatre, is designed to inspire and motivate children to “dream big and be their best selves”, according to organiser Julie Davey.

Last year’s Voice of Frankston winner Madison Bailey, Dromana Primary school choir and Peninsula School of Dancers, from Capel Sound, will open the show with other amazing talent to follow, including top female magician Cath Jamison.

Families who arrive early can try out some old fashioned games, such as quoits and hookey, and have photos taken in the photo booth for free.

New owner sets store by history

New era: Cath Haylock, above, has ushered in a new era by renaming and revamping the general store at Balnarring Beach.

By Teresa Murphy THE retro brown-brick facade remains and crowds still queue for fish 'n' chips at peak holiday times, but much has changed at Balnarring Beach's general store.

Now called Tulum Store, after Balnarring's original name*, the historic store and cafe was reincarnated in 2016, closing for six months for extensive renovations and reopening for summer.

It was a baptism by fire for new owner Cath Haylock, who oversaw the makeover with local tradies, created new menus, hired staff and dealt with the summer chaos - all while being a mum of two young kids .

Tulum Store is a sleek, modern cafe, takeaway and general store with blonde wood interiors, replica design furnishings, kids' play area, and landscaped courtyard with black timbers and red seats, serving food with a focus on fresh, locally grown ingredients and largely homemade, and coffee.

"One of the most amazing things has been hearing all the stories about the general store and holidaying at Balnarring Beach, going back generations," Ms Haylock says. "You could write a book about this place. I think some people were concerned that the general store of the Balnarring Beach they know and love was going, but the feedback has been great."

Before buying the business, Ms Haylock, 43, owned the Balnarring Laundrette in the village for 18 months.

She was folding sheets one day and pondering her 10-year plan (she likes a plan) when she realised "do I really want to be folding sheets for the next eight years?"

Seeing the potential of the old-style general store and cafe at Balnarring Beach, with its three camp grounds in a 70-hectare reserve and growing permanent

population, Ms Haylock made an offer which the owners of 11 years finally accepted.

Running the general store is the realisation of a long-held dream, as she and her parents owned Sorrento's Koonya general store from 1997 to 2001.

Ms Haylock then briefly worked in Queensland, then at a nursery in Pearcedale, where she met her husband, Chris, who died of cancer in 2012, aged 43.

She says Tulum Store allows her to structure life around her two children, who attend Red Hill Consolidated (the family lives behind the store).

After the exhausting summer, Ms Haylock and her children went to Hawaii, where she buys “far-from-daggy� Hawaiian shirts, which are sold in the store along with skincare products, peninsula gourmet food, general food staples and buckets and spades.

The store will close for August and rustedon customers, such as the "grumpy old men" who meet early every day, will have to venture further afield for a month to solve the problems of the world. *Banlnarring Beach was originally known as Tulum Beach. Tulum is Bunerong for duck.

CLOSE to the foreshore and cafes, this enchanting cottage wonderfully encapsulates the quintessential beachside lifestyle. Full use has been made of the 545 square metre block with lush, leafy gardens providing a private sanctuary to enjoy a series of timber alfresco decks that complement the existing living space and will really come into their own when the warmer months return. There is just the one living space, but what a space it is. Full of charm, the interior

receives plenty of natural light, and sliding doors at the side and rear allow for pleasant coastal breezes to do their thing.

The upcycled corrugated iron ceilings are a revelation, and the polished floorboards and cosy woodheater provide plenty of extra ambience. A neat kitchen is equipped with a stainless-steel under bench oven and a dishwasher, and the large island bench performs double duty as the dining table.

The larger main bedroom will comfortably accomodate

a king-sized bed, and the second bedroom has a built-in wardrobe. Detached from the home is a lovely timber-lined studio or third bedroom, again with a fantastic iron ceiling, and a large picture window provides an inspiring view of the garden. Neat, simple and effective, this home just works on so many levels and for first home buyers or downsizers looking for that property with a difference, this charmer is going to be hard to beat.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

R. T. Picking and family return to the city after the summer Compiled by Cameron McCullough MR R. T. Picking and family, after spending the summer months in Frankston, have removed to their residence at Glen Huntly. *** THERE was a good attendance at the “Australian” Club dance on Saturday evening last, the financial result of which should add materially to the funds. *** THE Floral Fete in aid of the Church of England funds, was opened in the hall, Frankston, on Friday afternoon, and will continue this afternoon and evening.

A meeting of the members of the Frankston Branch of the National Federation will, be held in the Mechanics’ Institute, on Monday next.

Members are requested to be punctual at half past seven o’clock. *** MRS Utber Hon. Sec. Red Cross Society, acknowledges the following donations :–Market Garden Picnic Association, per M. Clements Esq. £1 10s; Mrs Wheeler, marking ink; Mrs Masterton, 4 doz. petrol cases; Miss O’Grady, pair sox. *** IN our report of the Hyndes-Spillane wedding last week, in the list of presents received, it credited the Catholic Church committee with giving a Statue of the Sacred Heart, the gift should have been credited to Mrs Osborne, Mr and Mrs Paxman and Mr Anderson. *** A FOOTBALL match was played at Mornington on Monday last, between the Frankston and Mornington juniors,

resulting in the defeat of the visitors by 12.10 to 4.2 goals.

The game was a good one but the weight of the home team wore down their opponents, who were of much lighter calibre.

A. Tevandale captained the Frankston team and T. Harrison, the Mornington team.

A return match will be played at Frankston, on Saturday (today.) *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold a clearing sale on Saturday, 12th May, on account of “Gay Gordon’s” Camp, and other vendors, at the Mart, Bay St. when they will offer a quantity of hardwood and oregon being the timber used in the erection of large tents frames, in good order, household furniture, incubators, gent’s bike. harness and a variety of sundries, as specified in advertisement. *** ECHOES from the Front.

WHERE ARE THE BOYS WE KNOW ?

A soldier’s letter from over the seas.

But oh I how much it means.

When the curtain of worry and doubt is raised, By those behind the scenes.

We may feast on the news that the papers give, That is “writ by a skilful pen”; But give us the plain unvarnished tales In the letters we get from our men –Frank Cubitt.

We regret to report that news has been received that Corporal A. E. Hollier, of, Tyabb, is seriously ill also that Private H. F. Young of Mornington, is

amongst the missing.

Billy Clements whose adventures since becoming a soldier have been varied, has written some interesting letters. He says – “Ro. Peebles was in to see me last night and I was putting forth a tale of woe about not getting any letters from “Aussie” when in blew twelve, per Arthur Green.

The photo side of your card went round the Hut and many of the boys know the old Hermit’s well and were pleased to have their memories refreshed with the picture.

Jack Reardon has gone to France and last time I heard, he was well.

We had a meeting of the Clan over here and the members present were.–J. M. Reardon, A. Wilcox, E. Worrall, C. Hagan, C. Brody and yours truly.

I can tell you our tongues went some.

I think they are all in France now, gone to fight for me.

I’ve had one “go” and I don’t want two. I can see it coming though. I had a letter from Mr C. P. Watson, have sent it on to Jack.

Charley Ellis is here in camp.

My hands are about stiff with the cold.”

“Smitho” remarks casually that he is biting his beer off in lumps.

Private S C. M. Ward, of Hastings has been wounded.

Corporal F. M’Donald, Langwarrin, was among the wounded in the 287th Casualty List.

Mrs H. C Parker of Hastings, has just received word that her husband, Lieutenant Parker, who was reported wounded and missing in France on 28th January, is a prisoner of war in

Germany. Lieut Parker is the eldest son of Mr and Mrs R. G. Parker, Essendon.

Lieutenant W. C. Pentland is reported wounded. *** FORESHORE Privileges.

On account of complaints having been made by Mr J. W, Thomas, Frankston, that Mr Alfred Anderson, of Barker’s Road, Hawthorn, was infringing his privileges in erecting on the foreshore buildings other then bathing boxes or boathouses. Mr Anderson was written to for an explanation, and the following answer and the inspector’s report on the case was read at the last meeting of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings :– “To John E. Jones, Esq., Moorooduc.

Sir, In reply to your letter dated 31st March, I beg to state that the building mentioned by you is to be used as a bathing box and boathouse.

This building has been erected in accordance with arrangements made with the officer in charge of the local police station, and has never at any time been used for residential purposes.

I may state that I shall be pleased to show anyone the interior of building at any time.

I am having a motor boat built at Messrs J. Savage and Co,’s Works, Church Street Bridge, which will be kept at boathouse.

Within a few weeks I will be submitting to the Council plans for a house to be built on my piece of land on Mornington Road, to cost about £1000, when the old cottage on the land will be pulled down.

Trusting this is all the information necessary. Yours truly,

ALFRED ANDERSON.” OFFICER’S REPORT. Gentlemen–I have to report for your information regarding this matter, as follows: 1st, As to the motor garage complained of: This is a boathouse, built my Mr G. E. Thomas, close to the Mornington Road, near Oliver’s Hill.

It has doors at the rear’ so constructed that a motor car can be–run in to it and housed for the night when the owner runs down for week ends, &c.

I understand the owner has no means of getting the car up to his house on the cliff, and he therefore houses it in the boatshed for safety.

If he could not do this Frankston would probably lose this citizen as a resident.

Provided the fee is paid for this boathouse (as it has been), I see not the slightest harm in Mr Thomas using it to house his motor car in. (He has not got a boat in it.)

Further, I would respectfully recommend that Mr J. W. Thomas be informed that he will be allowed the same privilege on payment of the necessary fees.

I would further recommend that car owners be encouraged to build houses (for the sheltering of their motor cars only) on the foreshore. This will no doubt induce them to erect properties on the high ground and so improve the town, financially and otherwise.

Yours, &c, C. RYAN, Shire Inspector. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 April 1917

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Making a complete spectacle of myself

By Stuart McCullough NOT all change is incremental.

Sometimes it’s comes upon you with all the force of a wet fish as it collides with the back of your head. And when the moment of impact arrives, there’s no going back. Rather, you must accept that things will never be quite the same again. Ever. It happened to me this week when I foolishly left my mobile phone lying on the kitchen table. My wife spotted it and offered to make some adjustments. Foolishly, I thought these adjustments might involve flames shooting out of the speakers whenever a text message arrived or installing an app that enabled time travel, but no. Rather, my wife increased the size of the print.

It’s a special time in your life when you make the shift to really big print.

This means I can now read text messages even if I don’t have my glasses on, albeit one word at a time. Not that I’m often without my glasses anymore. Gone are the days when spectacles were something I wore only when I studied or wished to appear smarter. Now my face furniture is nearly always in place. My glasses have evolved from accessory to necessity.

I got my first pair of glasses in high school. I’d have been in year nine or thereabouts. I had started getting headaches and it turned out these weren’t simply the result of being in year nine and studying geometry – a skill I have since steadfastly refused to use on principle – but the result of something far more structural. Getting your first pair of glasses requires

PAGE 42

Mornington News 25 April 2017

that you choose a frame that suits your personality. It’s a big choice and requires that you confront certain uncomfortable truths.

But getting glasses as a teenager also demands a kind of strength of character. In particular, that you ignore all the advice your parents are trying to give you regarding a sensi-

ble choice. At fourteen I didn’t especially want to be sensible. Rather, I wanted to use this opportunity to finally reveal just how incredibly cool I was. Granted, this is a lot to ask from a single pair of glasses, but that’s how I imagined it. In the end, I suspect I rushed my decision.

In my mind, my new glasses made

me look like John Lennon. On my face, however, they made me look like someone who ought to be organising the scones for Sunday school.

They were a compromise, to be sure.

I had wanted round glasses without a frame but settled for slightly ovalshaped lenses with a gold frame. They were more Elton John that John Lennon, but I wore them all the same. In later years, I even had a pair of matching earrings. The overall effect was I’d describe as ‘studious pirate’.

If the first pair of glasses I owned were disastrous, the second pair weren’t quite as good. I was continuing my quest to be loved and admired by all; a status I thought would only be achieved if I could prove just how immensely, dazzlingly awesome I was. For reasons that now elude me, I decided that this would best be achieved by wearing a pair of ‘half’ glasses. Half glasses are the kind favoured by bookkeepers and imperious headmasters the world over. I reasoned they would facilitate a better view of the blackboard whilst still keeping my notes in focus. In retrospect, what I gained in functionality, I lost ten times over in terms of credibility.

My bizarre choice of facial-wear did nothing to endear me to my peers, many of whom were inspired to pursue laser eye surgery after having seen me. I, however, continued on oblivious. The frames were brown and curled up at the edges, giving the appearance of a half-formed smile.

They were the kind spectacles you might expect to see Dame Edna Everage wearing if she was trying to take

a low-key trip down to shops for a litre of milk. These were my glasses of choice through University and beyond. Eventually, I dumped these in favour of my current pair, which are black and (comparatively speaking) normal.

In recent years, my prescription has needed updating on a far more regular basis. Ideally, this would occur weekly. In response to the optometrist’s invitation to read the smallest letters I can, my response is to either to ask ‘what letters?’ or to hazard a guess as though it were some kind of bizarre game show. The optometrist takes a tough line and refuses to let me phone a friend. The results are often ugly.

Having complained that my eyesight was getting worse, I was informed that this was simply a natural part of the ageing process.

Perhaps it’s a good thing that we live in an age where the click of a mouse will enlarge anything you’re trying to read. It’s odd, but part of me wants to resist rather than embrace the shift to bigger print. It’s as though I can’t yet permit myself to make such a concession. I should probably get over it. After all, there’s not much any of us can do to stall the march of time. In fact, when all’s said and done, it’s best to march right along with it. Upon reflection, I should have seen it coming and embraced it sooner. It would have saved a whole lot of squinting. That I didn’t do so is kind of unforgiveable, especially when it was clear that the writing was on wall. In really, really big letters too. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Silky champion joins ‘300 club’ PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt KARINGAL champion Michael Burke played his 300th game on Sunday against Frankston YCW. The six-time best and fairest winner, premiership player and league medallist became only the 18th player in MPNFL history to be awarded life membership for 300 games.

Burke joined the likes of Guy Stringer, Robert Jackson, Daniel Smith, Gordon Hendry, Mark Hustwaite, Brendan Long and Brett Wright in the elite and prestigious 300 club.

Burke has captained and coached Karingal FC and his loyalty has never wavered.

The godfather of Karingal FC, Daniel ‘Digger’ Watts, aptly described Burke as the most loyal, honest, humble and inspiring player and person in the history of the Karingal Football Club.

The Bulls honoured Burke at a tribute dinner last Thursday night and a panel luncheon on Sunday.

Pines has set-up a top of the table showdown against Frankston YCW this weekend at Jubilee Park after knocking over Edithvale-Aspendale on Saturday.

The Pythons head into the fourth round facing the games’ biggest challenge – the Stonecats on their home turf.

Following its form in the open-

The lowdown: Langwarrin and Seaford battled it out at Lloyd Park with Seaford easing to a 59-point victory. Picture: Andrew Hurst

ing three matches of the season, the Pythons looked to be in good shape heading into the clash.

The Stonecats, albeit the most professional outfit in the comp, will come off a six-day break after playing Karingal on Sunday.

Pines spoilt the party of one of the MPNFL’s finest ever players, Edithvale’s Tim Mannix, who celebrated his 200th game.

Mannix is a premiership player,

six-time best and fairest winner and league medallist.

However, even Timmy Mannix couldn’t make a difference to Pines dominance on Saturday at Regents Park.

Tim Bongetti was unstoppable with six goals for the winners while Aaron Edwards booted four in the 118.16 (124) to 12.9 (81) victory.

Guy Hendry was also superb in the ruck and floating forward with two

goals while lesser likes in Dylan Smillie and Ben Thomas were outstanding.

Will Flavelle booted four for the Eagles, as did one of the Eagles’ best Charlie Martello, while Angus Macquire and Callan Van Dyke were also outstanding players for the home side.

Bonbeach made it back-to-back wins, beating old foe Chelsea 17.17 (119) to 10.5 (65).

Trent Dennis-Lane was sensational once again for the Sharks with five

goals, making it nine in two weeks, while Shane McDonald and Dylan Jones were at their best.

Darcy James and Todd Cracknell aren’t names synonymous with the Sharks but their performances on Saturday are an indication of the good form of the team right now.

The Sharks opened up a 33-point lead in the opening quarter and it blew out to 72 points at three-quarter time.

Jack Francis was a stand-out for the Gulls with six goals while Rhys Hensel and Simon MItchelhill worked tirelessly.

Seaford maintained its third position on the ladder with a percentage-booster against Langwarrin at Lloyd Park.

After a relatively tight first quarter, Seaford extended a 15-point quarter time lead into a 59-point winning margin, 117.13 (115) to 8.8 (56).

Dan Lewis was superb for the Tigers with four goals while Dean Williamson, Kane Taylor and Brayden Irving were unstoppable.

Rourke Fischer has had a tough time with injury over the past couple of years but he was back to his best last week, while a fit Aaron Turner was also impressive.

Michael Parker and Blake Harkness were again Langwarrin’s best, while Keiran Albanese booted four goals.

The traditional Anzac Day clash between Mt Eliza and Mornington will be played at Wooralla Drive on Tuesday.

‘Olympic’ away day win for Hillmen NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Toe Punt RED Hill made it two wins on the trot on Saturday when it dominated for much of the afternoon to beat Rosebud at Olympic Park for the first time since 1985.

Rosebud led inside the first minute of the match when Keegan Downie goaled but from that moment on, it was all Red Hill.

The Hillmen’s dominance from the half back line and blistering pace through the middle of the ground was just too much for the Buds to handle.

The inevitable match-up between Red Hill’s Chris Irving and Rosebud’s Greg Bentley did take place from the first bounce. The personal duel was cut short when ‘GB’ tweaked his hamstring in the second quarter.

Peter and Marcus Lago were superb across half-back and through the middle for the Hillmen while Tom McEnroe was the best player on the ground with his dash and ball use from defence.

Harry Wynn-Pope was again competitive in the ruck and around the ground against the best in the business in Ben Dwyer, while Michael Mock, Mitch Wallace and Jonah Siverson all won their battles in the back half. Siverson out-pointed Downie and Wallace had the better of a returning Tom Baker from Casey in the VFL. Red Hill was a very competitive outfit last season, however, some additional class in the side has made a significant difference to the line-up and its ability taking the ball forward.

Chris Irving was again dominant through the middle and at stoppages and even wound back the clock to his

younger years taking a screamer at half forward.

Ben Hughes straightens Red Hill up but he didn’t boot a goal in the first quarter and got an early corky. He still finished with a game-high five goals.

Sean ‘Nooga’ Holmes has also returned after a year riding motorcross and the one that is getting under most guards is Dylan Hoare. Holmes was exceptional on the weekend and Hoare was a lively

nuisance, finishing with a goal.

Jake Mold missed the match as a result of a spider bite, Matt Hyden was a late withdrawal and Benny McCormack was in the reserves.

There’s a lot of upside to the Hillmen and there’s no question that they like the wide-open spaces - their run and spread is going to cause a lot of issues for opposition teams. Rosebud trailed by as much as 38 points early in the last quarter be-

fore fighting back to get within 17. The final margin was 21 points, 10.5 (65) to 5.14 (44). Many of Rosebud’s behinds were rushed.

Jack Jarman and Daniel Wilson, despite not being named in Rosebud’s best, were clearly their best two.

Sean Downie was also very good for the Buds, as was Anthony Pegg from half back and Jake Corrin. Leg speed in attack seemed to be an issue for the Buds and it’s something they need to be looking at addressing quickly.

Pearcedale proved that its big win against Frankston Bombers on Easter Saturday was not just a flash in the pan, despite going down to Somerville on Saturday. The Dales stuck with the Eagles at the nest for the entire match and had its chances in the last quarter, however, inaccuracy paid a price.

Somerville had its noses in front for the most part of the match and won 12.17 (89) to 110.22 (82).

The Eagles have had a great start to the season with three wins from three matches, including a win against Red Hill at home.

On Saturday, Adrian Speedy and Justin Allsop continued their outstanding starts to the season while Billy Rolfe was also at his best. In defence, Kane McKenzie was superb.

Andrejs Everitt booted three for the winners and Jedd Sutton booted a couple.

Luke Dalmau was again electric for the Dales with four goals while Matt Smith and Daniel Marshall were outstanding.

Devon Meadows put a horrible preseason behind it and notched its first win of the season, beating Crib Point 13.22 (100) to 10.8 (68).

The Panthers lost more than 20 players in the off-season, troubling its depth.

However, its top end talent was always there and after strong performances against Hastings and Pearcedale in the opening two rounds, deserved to taste victory.

The Panthers dominated the opening quarter and despite a fightback from the Pies, always had the game in their control. Allan Murray booted four goals to give him 12 for the season, while Steve McInnes added another three to give him 11 for season 2017. Jesse Dehey and Stef Baumgartner continued their superb starts to the season.

Ned Shannon, the son of former Hastings’ star Andrew, was great again for the Pies with three goals while Taylor Stratton and Brad Arnold led from the front.

Leigh Poholke celebrated his 100th game for Sorrento on Saturday with a game-high six goals in his side’s 27.15 (177) to 10.7 (67) victory against Rye. Nick Corp booted five also for the Sharks while Shannon Gladman continued his outstanding season with three goals from the middle.

Tim Churchin was the only multiple goal kicker for Rye with two while Harry Whitty and teenager Joel Wills tried hard.

Dromana notched up its first win of the season, smashing Tyabb 22.19 (151) to 6.3 (39).

Beau Cosson returned with seven goals for the Tigers while Cam Carmody finished with four and Adam Hunter three. Terry Wheeler and Rory Gregg were amongst the Dromana best again, as was Shaun Clarke.

Ethan Rahilly and Jordan Pollard were once again the best of the Yabbies.

Stevenson flies in to kickstart Strikers’ season SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie PENINSULA Strikers coach Craig Lewis will be at Melbourne Airport on Monday night (24 April) to greet high-profile Scottish recruit Ryan Stevenson.

It would be no surprise if officials from Preston Lions also are there as the State 1 North-West club contacted Stevenson last week in a cheeky 11th-hour bid to prise the former Hearts attacking midfielder from Strikers’ grip.

“Ryan rang me as soon as Preston tried to sign him and said that he told them he had agreed with Strikers and that he would honour his word,” said Lewis.

Strikers last week ended negotiations with another Scottish midfielder, Cowdenbeath’s Brian Ross, and have now turned their attention to 22-year-old defender Sean McCall who joined Kirkintilloch Roy Roy last August from Tower Hearts.

Lewis will hold a Skype session with McCall this week and hopes to entice the Scot to Centenary Park.

Lewis has also been active on the local market with the capture of 18-year-old former Bentleigh Greens midfielder Emmanual Brima and late last week completed the signing of left winger Vladimir Kosovac from Goulburn Valley Suns.

Kosovac, 22, was with Serbian club OFK Beograd in 2016.

English central defender Michael Nugent is training with Strikers and is expected to sign.

Nugent was a teammate of Mornington star Ryan Paczkowski at Harworth Colliery in the Central Midlands League North.

The need to strengthen Strikers’ squad was emphasised on Saturday as the club lost its fourth straight league game going down to a 22nd minute Gethin Jones goal at home to State 2 South-East rival Doveton.

Danijel Buhic of Doveton was sent off in the 50th minute.

Langwarrin remained on top of the State 1 South-East ladder after Saturday’s 3-1 home win against neighbour Casey Comets.

Ex-Langy midfielder Ray Markley was on the end of a long free-kick in the 3rd minute but shot straight at Langy keeper Robbie Acs and three minutes later a Connor Belger free kick put Langy 1-0 up.

Markley headed over following an Andy Stubley cross from the right in the 10th minute and Aaran Currie’s curled shot in the 15th minute was acrobatically tipped onto the far post by Comets’ custodian Faraz Zanoozi.

Ryan Hughes burst through into a one on one with Acs in the 20th minute but the keeper spread himself superbly to block and Langy went further ahead in the 22nd minute thanks to an own goal following a Belger free kick.

Currie’s deflected low shot in the 34th minute beat Zanoozi at the near post to make it 3-0 and Langy was cruising.

Two minutes into the second half Markley shot over from the left of the Langy area and in the 50th minute a superb Jesse Martindale free kick made it 3-1.

In the 63rd minute Allando Matheson skinned

Top target: Peninsula Strikers have now set their sights on signing Scottish defender Sean McCall.

John Guthrie and curled the ball towards the top far corner but Acs at full stretch tipped it wide.

Langy midfielder Paul Speed was forced to clear off the line from the resultant corner and that was as close as Comets came to clawing their way back into the contest.

Matheson had chances to pull the trigger but his overuse of the ball proved his undoing.

Mornington returned to winning ways last weekend after a shake-up to the starting line-up that saw central midfielders Grant Smart and Chris Reid on the bench with Nathan Yole and Danny Black taking over the full back spots.

But State 1 South-East opponent Clifton Hill had the home side on the back foot after the referee ruled that substitute Josh Valadon, who had replaced an injured Black, handled during a Clifton Hill break and Jonathan Voulgaras converted easily from the penalty spot in the 30th minute.

But three second half goals settled the issue and Mornington eventually ran out a 3-1 victor.

A long free kick into the Cilfton Hill area and a poor attempted punch by Clifton Hill keeper Chris Davis allowed Paczkowski to pounce and strike home a first time shot from close range in the 55th minute.

Six minutes later a long throw and a dreadful attempt to head clear saw Paczkowski conjure up a clever overhead kick to make it 2-1.

Simon Mur sealed the win in the last few minutes after substitute Smart and Wayne Gordon played a one-two on the right before Gordon’s ball over the top sent Mur through and he neatly clipped the ball over the advancing Davis.

Well-travelled striker Gino Defeo is on the move once more after quitting Mornington on Saturday.

Frankston Pines broke through for its first league win of the season when it downed Doncas-

ter Rovers 2-0 in their State 2 South-East clash at Monterey Reserve last weekend.

Pines keeper Alfonso Cardinale was in outstanding form saving a first half penalty before Jack Wrobel gave Pines the lead in the 33rd minute.

Luke Murray played the ball to Ioasa Saemo on the left and his far post cross was chested down

by Wrobel who then tucked it under advancing Doncaster keeper Mathew Davoli.

In the 65th minute both sides were reduced to 10 men when Francois Armansin of Pines and Peter Addo of Doncaster were sent off.

The game was put out of the visitors’ reach in the 85th minute when Mauritian import Cedric Permal engineered a superb breakaway and sent Wrobel clear and his clinical finish made it 2-0.

Seaford United lost its State 2 South-East home game against North Caulfield 4-2 on Sunday.

Dylan Waugh put Seaford ahead after eight minutes with a simple tap in past stranded North Caulfield keeper Sam Quinn but a Daniel Sacks free kick in the 29th minute was handled in the defensive wall and Sacks converted from the penalty spot to make it 1-1.

The highlight of the second half was a hattrick to veteran striker Oran Harel and the reply

by Seaford substitute Tom Natoli in the dying minutes was too little too late for a disappointing home team.

Skye United’s 5-1 win over Middle Park in their State 3 South-East clash at Skye Recreation Reserve on Saturday was underpinned by a hattrick to Nick Theodore.

It was an aggressive opening stanza with the first 15 minutes relatively even until Mark O’Connor curled one around the Middle Park custodian to open the scoring.

Minutes later Theodore capitalised on a defensive error to make it 2-0 but in the 42nd minute

Skye defender Johnny Andrinopolous was dispossessed in the final third and Middle Park’s Andrew Gibson made it 2-1.

Shortly after Theodore ensured the hosts maintained their two-goal buffer at the break with a classy finish from inside the box.

Skye dominated long periods of the second half and a Marcus Collier drive from outside the box and Theodore’s hat-trick completed the rout.

Baxter’s 3-1 win over Dandenong South in their State 4 South fixture was soured by a season-ending injury to midfielder Liam Tinsley late in the first half that saw him taken to Frankston Hospital with a cracked femur and an ACL injury.

A classy hat-trick to striker Mark Pagliarulo was a match highlight, his first goal coming in the 14th minute when he finished a great solo run with a stunning strike from a tight angle.

Pagliarulo made it 2-0 just before half-time after a neat one-two with Jack Gallagher.

A clumsy challenge by Markus Oliphant in the 68th minute allowed Malik Sulemani to convert from the penalty spot to make it 2-1 but Pagliarulo was at the back post to head home a Travis Ernsdoerfer cross in the 80th minute.

The visitors struck the woodwork six times in what was a hard-fought contest.

Rosebud Heart lost 3-2 at home to Bayside Argonauts last weekend and veteran midfielder Adam Poole had to be substituted late in the match with a suspected Achilles injury.

Adrian Lotca opened the scoring for Bayside in the 12th minute getting a favourable rebound from his challenge with Heart keeper Sean Skelly and tapping the ball into an unguarded goal.

Dave Greening equalised two minutes into the second half when he deftly slotted the ball past Bayside keeper James Howarth but an excellent strike into the far corner by Stephen Patterson in the 55th minute restored Bayside’s lead.

Heart hit back in less than a minute after Cory Osorio beat three opponents then cheekily chipped Howarth from 25 metres to make it 2-2.

A pivotal moment in this clash came when Greening rounded Howarth and scored only to be controversially ruled offside and that decision came back to haunt Heart in the 79th minute when a long throw was flicked on by Tony Saric and bobbled over the line for the winner.

Somerville Eagles continued their winless start to their inaugural State League campaign when they were on the wrong end of a 7-2 hiding from Chelsea FC last weekend and now prop up the State 5 South ladder.

This weekend’s games: SATURDAY, 3pm: Warragul Utd v Langwarrin (Baxter Park, Warragul), Seaford Utd v Peninsula Strikers (North Seaford Reserve), Doveton v Frankston Pines (Waratah Reserve), Riversdale v Skye Utd (Frog Hollow Reserve), Keysborough v Baxter (Coomoora Reserve), Dandenong South v Rosebud Heart (Fotheringham Reserve), Somerville Eagles v Pakenham Utd (Somerville Secondary College).

New hole offers scenic alternative for golfers

By Ben Triandafillou GOLFERS are graced with a vast variety of holes across the Mornington Peninsula, from long winded par fives to elegant pitch and putt, par threes and this spring, golfers will see another challenging hole join the peninsula’s golfing circuit.

The $90,000 development of the 150-metre par three at Mornington Golf Club will be another intriguing hole for peninsula golfers, with views of the city’s skyline and the peninsula’s coastline.

Designed by Darius Oliver (Planet Golf) and Ben Davey (Contour Golf Designs), the par three will be a major attraction for golfers and will also play an influential role in the club’s strategic master plan.

The 19th hole will allow the Mornington Golf Club to improve existing holes and continue to provide golfers with a first class and well-maintained golf course while having 18 holes still in use.

“The new hole allows us to proceed with our long-term master plan for the entire course,” Mornington Golf Club general manager Craig Murdoch said.

“We will be able to take a hole out of play to make improvements to it and still have 18 holes in play.”

Although the holes are well-maintained and are in pristine condition, many of the greens are over 30 years old and are due to have an upgrade.

The ‘spare hole’ will allow the 810 members at Mornington Golf Club to continue their undisrupted play while improvements are made throughout the course. The Mornington Golf Club has seen a steady rise in club memberships over the past few years and with the in-

troduction of their new hole, the trend is likely to continue.

Membership prices for golfers in the 18-20-year-old age bracket have also been slashed so that juniors who are moving into their ‘senior’ career can have an affordable golfing experience.

“Junior golf has long been a focus of the club,” Murdoch said.

“With 150 juniors now on board, two

junior Pennant teams and a host of juniors representing the club in Golf Peninsula Victoria events we feel Mornington is definitely one of the premier clubs on the peninsula driving junior golf.”

Junior golfers from the Mornington Golf Club were highly successful at the Eric Lucas Matchplay event on Friday 7 April at Flinders Golf Club,

winning and finishing runners-up, in both the boys and girls events. Jennifer Quinlan won the girl’s event with Lauren Barry finishing runners-up, while Ben Tincknell was the winner of the boy’s event with Dan Vince finishing in second.

Mornington has also been successful at the National Junior Classic with Aidan McDonagh winning the un-

der-16’s Nett division and in the GPV Junior Pennant with Team Scott winning the divisional flag.

The new par three at the Mornington Golf Club will provide the junior golfers with another fantastic opportunity to experience another remarkable hole and continue to improve their game.

The new hole will be ready for play in spring.

National champ wins Easter comp

By Ben Triandafillou THE peninsula’s premier bowls tournament was held on Saturday 15 April at the City of Frankston Bowling Club with $6000 up for grabs.

The annual ‘Frankston by the Bay Easter Classic Open Pairs’ was won by the 2012 Australian Champion of Champions singles winner, Dylan Fisher and partner Dale Verhagen.

Verhagen and Fisher defeated Rob Huddle and Dave Windley in the final of the Easter tournament after a spectacular round of bowls.

The bowls club was filled to near maximum capacity with more than 80 competitors entering the Easter classic.

The Easter classic has continued to attract competitors from across the state as well as some international bowlers over the past few years.

“The Easter classic attracts some of the elite bowlers from across the state and also some from Hong Kong,” City of Frankston Bowling Club administrator, Alan Neil, said.

Sudoku and crossword solutions

“It’s a prestige tournament which this year had to be funded by the club but we wanted to keep the tournament going as it brings some of the top bowlers to the peninsula.”

The tournament has been running since the 1990s but was unfortunately stopped in the early 2000s due to a variety of factors affecting the club.

The Easter Classic was later revived in the mid-2000s and has now been running for several years.

“The recent resurgence of more young people joining the club and participating in lawn bowls has definitely helped,” Neil said.

“It’s no longer just an old person’s sport with the elite level now full of young people in their 20s and 30s.”

This year, the club has had to fund the Easter classic out of its own pocket as it’s no longer receiving funding from the Frankston Council and is unable to fit into any of the categories for a grant.

Neil said that the Easter classic was likely to continue to run even if the club has to fund the event itself.

At the doubles: Alan Neil congratulates bowls tournament winners Dylan Fisher, middle, and Dale Verhagen.

Back-to-back Australia’s best cars award for Genesis FOR the second year in a row Hyundai’s stylish luxury flagship Genesis has been crowned Australia’s Best Cars - Large Car Under-$70,000.

Genesis retained its coveted title, in the nation’s largest independent newcar assessment and awards program, after gruelling week-long testing by nine judges representing Australia’s peak motoring organisations.

Just as they were in 2015, the highly experienced Australia’s Best Cars awards judges were impressed

by Genesis’ superior levels of design and function, benchmark active and passive safety features, on-road performance, standard equipment and value for money against its shortlisted category rivals. Its impeccable 5-star safety credentials include a best-ever ANCAP crash test overall score of 36.88 points out of a possible 37.

Importantly, Genesis also impressed the judges with its class-leading five-year/unlimited kilometre new-car warranty and five years’ free servicing.

Peter Evans, General Manager, Genesis, said he was thrilled that Genesis was again an Australia’s Best Cars Awards winner.

“We’re extremely proud that Genesis has again triumphed in the highly regarded Australia’s Best Cars awards,” Mr Evans said. “And we’re doubly proud that it has been declared Australia’s Best Large Car Under $70k for the second year in a row and so soon after Wheels Magazine adjudged it one of its desirable Gold Star Value Award winners late last year.

“Genesis really is a game-changer for the Australian luxury car market, offering exceptional style, safety, performance and equipment at what truly represents outstanding value pricing. In fact, we’re happy to boast that, as these coveted awards show, Genesis is head and shoulders above its similarly priced competitors in every respect while being virtually

half the price of comparably equipped traditional European luxury cars.”

This year’s back-to-back recognition of Genesis brings Hyundai’s number of wins in the Australia’s Best Cars Awards’ 18-year history to an impressive 22.

Genesis’ latest Australia’s Best Cars award follows closely its Best ValueFor Money Large Car $45-$65K

award in Wheels Magazine’s Gold Star Value Awards, announced in November last year.

Exhaustive analysis of its realworld ownership costs by Australia’s oldest and most respected motoring magazine determined Genesis offered excellent resale value – outstanding in the notoriously high-depreciation Large-Car category.

Genesis also scored highly for its surprisingly affordable annual insurance cost and easily best-in-class 5-year/Unlimited kilometre new-car warranty – fully two years longer than that offered by its second- and third-placed category runners-up.
