Shire faces the future over aged care options Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

Determination and hard work: Mornington’s Shelley Heath made her debut for Melbourne Football Club’s AFLW team on 9 March after being drafted in October. The 18-year-old was told that being drafted was no guarantee of getting a start, but her hard work and determined attitude saw her earn her place at the elite level of women’s football.

COMMUNITY meetings will be held at Mornington, Rosebud and Hastings next month to discuss Mornington Peninsula Shire’s role in supporting older residents following announcement of the federal government’s proposed aged care reforms.

The mayor Cr David Gill said Flinders MP Greg Hunt called him on Friday concerned that a news release issued by the shire was misleading.

“He [Mr Hunt] said that there would ne no reduction to government funding [for aged care] and that it was already in the budget,” Cr Gill told The News.

Cr Gill said three public meetings would help the shire respond to the reforms proposed for beyond June 2020 which would affect some aged and disability services to residents.

Cr Gill said the government was proposing to introduce an open market aged care system “where there will be a range of providers available and clients will be able to choose who they receive their services from”.

The council discussed the proposed reforms on Tuesday 12 March. It voted to proceed with a request-for-proposal process and community engagement exercise to “explore all options available to deliver certain aged and dis-

AUTUMN /WIN TER ‘ 19

ability services to residents”.

Aged care services “will continue as normal during this period and clients will be kept informed throughout the process”.

Cr Gill said the shire was “acting early to ensure council has time to consider all options for the best way to transition if the new aged care system the commonwealth government is considering goes ahead”.

During the process, he said, there would be no change to the council’s service delivery. It is not obligated to appoint a new service provider at the end of the process.

Services affected include domestic assistance, personal care, respite care and social support – individual (shopping assistance).

Services not included are meals on wheels, assessment, home maintenance, community transport, seniors clubs and positive ageing.

Meetings to discuss changes to aged care will be at the former Mornington Council Chambers, 2 Queen Street, 4.30-6.30pm, Monday 8 April; Rosebud Memorial Hall, 997 Point Nepean Road, 11am-1pm, Tuesday 9 April, and Hastings Community Hub, 1973 Frankston-Flinders Road, 3-5pm, Thursday 11 April.

Survey finds fish still call creek home Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CONCERNS about erosion and the impact of silt on Tanti Creek have been allayed by a fish survey which found that none of the previously recorded species has been lost.

The survey, organised by Tanti Creek Friends and conducted by Streamline Research, followed fears that fish numbers and diversity had decreased “significantly” over the past two years.

The survey was conducted 5-6 March with samples taken during a dry period after several weeks without rain. It covered the entire length of Tanti Creek and involved setting bait traps and electrofishing, water quality data reviews, assessing the impacts of erosion and identifying fish barriers.

The researchers found one estuarine native fish species: the black bream, and four native fish species which are a migratory: the short finned eel, common galaxias, spotted galaxias and tupong.

Tanti Creek Friends Coordinator Marty Lenard said it had been 20 years since a comprehensive survey had been undertaken “on the muchloved creek”.

He said anecdotal evidence of diminishing fish numbers was most likely due to limited “invitation” flows of water over recent spring migratory periods. All the recorded native species are migratory and need higher flows of water to get upstream from the bay past in-stream barriers, he said.

Networking: Streamline Research’s John McGuckin and David Lucas taking samples during the Tanti Creek fish study.

The not-so-good news is that a feral fish species – eastern gambusia – was found in the creek for the first time.

The “feral” species was introduced into Australia in 1925 to control mos-

quitoes. The aggressive predators are prolific breeders have a high tolerance for poor water quality.

Mr Lenard said although there were minimal effective control options,

the best approach was to maintain a healthy creek habitat allowing native species to remain resilient against the impacts of the introduced species.

He said residents could help by en-

suring no alien fish are released into local waterways.

Streamline Research decided against taking samples from the headwaters of the creek – the light industrial/commercial area between Watts and the Mornington-Tyabb roads – because of water contamination coming from a stormwater pipe.

“Households and businesses must take all precautions to ensure polluted water does not enter our stormwater system,” Mr Lennard said.

“One bad pollution event can wipe out the entire fish population in a creek.”

The survey was funded by Beleura Private Hospital owner Australian Unity’s Healthcare Property Trust which has a 250 metre creek frontage – about 10 per cent of its total length.

Also helping out were Ramsay Health Care (which runs the hospital) and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

The volunteer group Tanti Creek Friends holds working bees on the last Tuesday of each month. Call Marty Lenard 0427 888 712 or visit morningtonenviro.org.au

FEDERAL ELECTION 2019

Former councillor has eyes on Flinders Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au A FIFTH candidate has now entered the race to win the seat of Flinders at the May federal election.

Susie Beveridge, a former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor, announced last week that she would stand as an independent for the seat held for the Liberals by Greg Hunt since 2001.

As well as Mr Hunt, Ms Beveridge will be opposing former Liberal Julia Banks (currently MP for Chisholm) who is also standing as an independent, Labor’s Joshua Sinclair and Nathan Lesslie of the Australian Greens.

Although not backing any one candidate, the left-wing lobby group GetUp! Last week announced it would campaign against Mr Hunt’s re-election for his “repeated attempts to block action on climate change”.

Mr Hunt had denied the claims (“Hunt a GetUp! ‘target’ in federal poll The News 20/3/19).

“I am non-political, my allegiance is to the constituent, without any filters,” Ms Beveridge told The News. “I have been a campaigner for the Mornington Peninsula, the bays, the environment and its people for a long time.”

Twice elected to council, Ms Beveridge is questioning “where do we go to from here policy and development wise? It must be sensible, sustainable and sensitive”.

“Commonwealth and constitutional law has always been a driving interest [for me], even at council level.

Consistency of law is paramount; it underpins everything we do,” she

Independent candidate for Flinders Susie Beveridge says she has been “working away in the background” to bring the Otama submarine ashore.

said. “What are [the other candidates] going to do if they are bankrolled or restricted by party politics? I am free to speak, and to stand as a direct representative.

“Where do their true allegiances lie?

If a lawyer, is it to the bar association? Or to a political party? These are barriers to unbiased constituent representation.”

Ms Beveridge said would be “out talking to residents from the back step of my van. I have a 50-year-old heritage picnic blanket where I can sit and chat to people. The van has become a mobile office”.

She says changes to the Private Health Insurance Act due on 1 April “could be seen as a violation of the Competition and Consumer Act” as they discriminate against 17 different practices, including natural therapies.

Ms Beveridge believes the continued refusal by the state government to allow the Otama submarine to be brought ashore in Western Port “is an issue also laden with a some moving of the goalposts... Could it be a restrictive trade practice?”

The Western Port Oberon Association, which is behind moves to bring the submarine ashore, last week issued

an invitation to “join us” at a community meeting in its Maritime Centre in Crib Point to meet Julia Banks, the other independent candidate for Flinders.

Ms Beveridge says she has been “working away at in the background for some time” to make sure the Otama is preserved.

Ms Beveridge is also opposed to power company AGL being allowed to moor a gas conversion terminal at Crib Point, which she sees as having political similarities to channel deepening in Port Phillip, where the state government prevailed.

Pillars a poll issue THE federal government may get involved in safety and accessibility issues at The Pillars cliff jumping site if Labor wins the May election.

The party’s candidate for Flinders, Joshua Sinclair says the 400 metre long “temporary” fence erected along the Esplanade at Mt Martha by Mornington Peninsula Shire should be replaced by a boardwalk.

Mr Sinclair says that if elected he will work closely with the shire “to ensure an environmentally appropriate, safe, and accessible boardwalk is built”.

He says he has told “those living off the esplanade” that he wants to see a permanent solution to this issue and the wall gone.

“The Pillars are a Mornington Peninsula institution,” Mr Sinclair said.

“Despite this unsightly wall, the place has still been flooded with tourists and locals all summer.

“Removing The Pillars wall and building an appropriate path is the first step in making this part of Mt Martha safe for pedestrians.”

While acknowledging that safety and access at The Pillars were not federal issues, Mr Sinclair said “it's important for me to campaign and advocate with council on issues that the peninsula youth care about”.

“If a boardwalk is the best method, there could be a range of grants from multiple levels of government that [the shire] could apply for, and that's the sort of thing I would work with them on.

“My role as a federal member would be to work with council on the best outcomes for the community and, in this case, young people on the peninsula.”

Refugees face difficulties settling in HUMAN rights advocate and lawyer Nyadol Nyuon spoke of her family’s difficulties of adjusting to a new society after being brought to Australia from a refugee camp in Kenya.

Ms Nyuon, who was born in the refugee camp in Itang, Ethiopia, said the difficulties were faced mainly by her mother, who spoke with “limited English” and had a longing for the place and friends of her birth.

Since her family settled in Ballarat, Ms Nyuon has completed a Bachelor Arts from Victoria University and a Juris Doctor from University of Melbourne and currently practises in commercial litigation and as community advocate on human rights issues.

She said refugee parents would only choose to place their child in a boat if being on the water was safer than staying on land.

Ms Nyuon was speaking at the Wednesday 13 March meeting of the Mornington Peninsula Human Rights Group held to celebrate 70 years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.

The declaration proclaims inalienable human rights regardless of race colour or religion. The oration is an annual event organised by the peninsula group.

In 2011 and 2014, Ms Nyuon was nominated as one of the 100 most influential African Australians.

She is currently a board member of the University of Melbourne Social Equity Institute.

Her oration at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Mornington was attended by more than 200 members of the human rights group and the public.

For further information about the work, events, newsletter and meetings of the Mornington Peninsula Human Rights Group go to mornpenhumanrights.org n At 67pm on 23 May at the Mornington Library noted foreign policy commentator professor Clinton Fernandes will speak about his new book "Island off the Coast of Asia", including Australian government espionage against East Timor and the prosecution pending in the ACT magistrates court.

Players needed THE call has gone out for new players to join the Moorooduc Junior Football Club.

Players born in 2010, 2011 and 2012 are being sought for the Bombers’ Under 9 teams. They must have turned seven by 30 April.

The club’s media and sponsorship manager Tara Anderson said the emphasis was on player inclusion and fun. “With Moorooduc being such a small town we are hoping to attract interest from the surrounding towns as well,” she said.

MP’s plan for senator to learn compassion Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au NEPEAN MP Chris Brayne has suggested Senator Fraser Anning be sent to Indonesia “where, hopefully he might learn some compassion, empathy and, just maybe, come back less ignorant”.

Mr Brayne was speaking in state parliament last week after the New Zealand terrorist attacks in which 50 Muslims praying at two Christchurch mosques were shot dead and dozens wounded, Friday 15 March.

Senator Anning, a former One Nation and Katter Australia Party MP, later linked the shootings to immigration and called for a ban on Muslim immigration. He was controversially “egged” by a 17-year-old student when making his comments and a petition calling for his removal from parliament attracted 1.3 million signatures.

Mr Brayne said his first experience with people of Islamic faith was when he went to Indonesia in high school as an exchange student.

“Prior to leaving, my friends were concerned about my safety,” he said. “So much terrorism in Indonesia, they told me. A lot of Muslims, they warned. And I was going to be living with a Muslim family in the world’s largest Muslim majority democracy.

“Even the Smart Traveller website had warned travellers to ‘exercise a high degree of caution’.

I started to worry about going there.”

When he arrived it turned out the fears were ill-informed. “The moment I met my Indonesian host family I could not have been put more at ease,” he said.

“[They] were beautiful people. My host brother Wawan was full of energy and probably one of the most unintentionally hilarious people I have met. His younger brother, Riski, was an absolute pain in the neck, and Shafa, their threeyear old sister, had the most gorgeous smile.

“This was a normal, caring family, and they cared about me and they cared about my country. [They] only wanted to provide for me while I was there. No ask was too much, no dinner request too outlandish, no question too offensive. They wanted me to leave happy about my time in Indonesia, educated about their faith and hopeful that I would return.”

Mr Brayne said the false concept of “other” – with people of Islamic faith representing the “other” – was false.

“As parliamentarians we owe the public a constant vigilance against misinformation about our communities,” he said. “When we breed misinformation, resentment and doubt it results in real consequences.

“But when we immerse ourselves in difference, the product is an aware, less ignorant and, ultimately, more peaceful country.

“This is why Australia should send Senator Fraser Anning to Indonesia where, hopefully, he might learn some compassion, some empathy and maybe, just maybe, come back less ignorant.

“Indeed, all of us should make regular efforts to get out into our different communities to refresh ourselves about how great humanity is, no matter the faith or background.

“I pay my respects to those who have been selfishly taken in this horrific way.”

JO Cooper is a woman with a firm grasp on history.

The Peninsula Grange resident who celebrated her 102nd birthday on Saturday 9 March with family and friends, lays claim to being born in Sorrento as the great-great-granddaughter of the first white baby born in the area, Jane Watts, in 1803.

Daughter Joyce Curry, who says “it’s an education listening to her stories”, confirmed her mum’s great-grandparents owned Watts Cottage next to the Nepean Historical Society building at the back beach end of Ocean Beach Road, Sorrento.

Ms Cooper can recall delivering milk and

butter to her great-grandmother after school and growing up in a limestone and birch house in Hiskens Street, Sorrento, with a wood oven. Her father had a blacksmith’s shop at the back of the property.

Ms Cooper moved into Peninsula Grange in Booker Avenue, Mornington, from her own home when she was 99. She enjoys painting, music and other activities.

She has lived at Sorrento, St Kilda East and Mt Eliza, and worked in a women’s hostel during WWII. Longevity runs in the family as Ms Cooper says she can remember her mother’s 101st birthday.

Colour code at beach HUNDREDS of blue and yellow rash vests were the most eyecatching fashion item for the second time in two months at Point Leo beach on Saturday 16 March.

Hundreds of blue and yellow vests were visible along the beach as the Disabled Surfers Association Mornington Peninsula organisation ran a surf day.

Groups of people wearing blue vests – supervised by a lesser number of people wearing green or red vests – were either forming two parallel lines in the surf of huddled in groups on the sand before carrying surfboards and their occupants into the water.

DSAMP president John Bowers said more than 550 volunteers over two surf day events “ensured more than 220 people had an amazing experience in the water — feeling free of their wheelchair or their disability for a day”.

“It’s great to see people with similar and sometimes isolating conditions connect in a fun and meaningful way.”

The Mornington Peninsula Group of the Country Women’s Association of Victoria (CWA) gave $4000 from its annual Darriman Fund to the DSAMP. “It’s awesome to see the smiles on the faces of people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to access our beautiful beaches, here on the Mornington Peninsula,” CWA Mornington Peninsula group president, Marnie Turner said.

“Our CWA Balnarring branch put forward the beach matting needed by the DSAMP for this year’s donation and we thought it was a very worthy project.

Mr Bowers said having the support of an organisation like the CWA “really helps when it comes to running surf days”.

“To receive a donation like this from a fellow peninsula organisation means we can buy the equipment we need to continue providing access to our beaches for those who may never have experienced the water,” Mr Bowers said.

“The new boardwalk near Point Leo Life Saving Club allows domestic wheelchairs to access the beach. The new beach matting means wheelchair access is even closer to the water before there’s a need to swap to an accessible beach chair.”

Mr Bowers said improved beach access for wheelchairs “reduces the strain on volunteers who in the past have had to wear a harness and drag the beach chair through the soft sand, meaning less time in the water for participants”. added Mr Bowers.

The Country Women’s Association of Victoria has 10 branches across the peninsula. Details: www.cwaofvic.org.au. For more information on the DSAMP visit disabledsurfers.org/vic/morningpeninsula-branch/ Keith Platt

THE upsurge in on-line movie streaming has claimed possibly the last of the neighbourhood video-hire stores on the Mornington Peninsula.

Rosebud’s Video Ezy was getting ready to close its doors over the weekend after 10 years in operation.

Manager John Conti, who has been at the helm since 2010, said he had stopped hiring out movies on Thursday 21 March and was planning to shut the doors for the last time on Sunday.

“I think we are the last video store standing on the peninsula, although there is a Civic Video at Frankston South,” said Mr Conti, who revealed he’d held off telling loyal customers he was closing. “It’s just so sad but not completely unexpected,” he said. “We knew 12 months ago that there was too much stacked against us.

“Over the past week many loyal customers have been coming in to say goodbye.”

The long-time video man and his wife Jenny sold their Hughesdale store to move to Safety Beach in 2008 and took over the Rosebud store owned by an overseas investor two years later.

The Chinese owner decided to call time when the lease on the shop came up for renewal.

Mr Conti’s son Michael, 19, was a willing apprentice at Rosebud from the age of 12, having been “brought up in” the family’s Hughesdale shop from boyhood. His only job since then has been helping his dad and the “tight group” of staff members: Penny, who has been there 13 years, Samantha, Sarina, Justine and Shae with rentals.

“We lasted a lot longer than the others because of the poor internet reception down here and because most holiday homes didn’t have the internet connected,” Mr Conti said.

Holiday makers and residents flocked to the store for movies they could not access online.

“We really had no competition for years but that all changed with the NBN and the fact that people can stream their movies now.”

Mr Conti said he would take some time off

Milk bar owner chases raiders A MORNINGTON milk bar owner chased two men on bikes after they attempted to steal from her shop, 2.45pm, Friday 15 March.

Detectives said the men wearing scarves as face coverings entered the Wandella Road shop with a hammer and a knife and attempted to raid the till.

Detective Senior Sergeant Miro Majstorovic, of Somerville CIU, said the woman shopkeeper refused and hit out as she tried to defend herself.

The men ran out of the shop but not before swinging the hammer and smashing a display case.

The victim drove after the men but lost them.

Anyone who recognises the clothing or the bicycles is urged to contact Mornington Peninsula CIU 5978 1400 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential report online at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Assault, phone theft A MAN was punched, kicked and threatened with a hammer by five men who then stole his phone in Mornington, 4.45am, Sunday 17 March.

Detectives said the man was waiting for a cab just off Mornington-Tyabb Road when a white VT Commodore with flashing red and blue lights with five men aboard pulled up. They threatened the victim and, when he refused to hand over his phone and attempted to run away, he was chased down and assaulted. The phone is valued at $500.

One of the men is described as a tall Caucasian, two others are described as Aboriginal in appearance – one wearing a red jacket, another man was wearing a grey hoodie and the fifth man’s face was not seen.

Arrests after incident TWO men have been arrested in Frankston North after a youth was chased on his bike and allegedly assaulted in a walkway off Mary Grove, Hastings, earlier this month.

The youth, 19, had gone to a Hastings house where he became involved in a dispute with the men. Afterwards he was allegedly chased and assaulted in the laneway. The men’s car became wedged in bollards and could not be driven off.

The man, pictured above, entered the Woolworths supermarket at Bentons Square, Dunns Road, Mornington 5pm, Saturday 9 March, and stole $498 of baby formula.

Dancers thrive on experiences WHAT is being described as “Australia’s fiercest dance program for young people” has 20 of the Mornington Peninsula’s most talented dancers training at Toorak College, Mount Eliza.

The dancers, aged 10-17, are learning a fusion of styles, including jazz, hip hop, latin, contemporary and singing.

The dance students come from the Mornington Peninsula and elsewhere, including gone from Queensland to dance in the company run

by Dance Writer. The former digital news hub for performing arts enthusiasts was started by dancer-turned-critic Jessica Poulter and now forms an “umbrella” of practical dance training.

Ms Poulter said the company provided opportunities to dancers who could not travel to the city on a regular basis. “We have handpicked 20 of the most dedicated dancers on the peninsula to help them thrive in an environment they are passionate about and it is in their own backyard,” she said. “[The company] provides a platform where students can learn an array of styles to add to their craft before they specialise in one particular stream. We encourage everyone to give new experiences a go, such as Latin or Singing, which may be unfamiliar to them.”

The company runs a charity ball each year which Ms Poulter said had raised thousands of dollars for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. It also backs Beyondblue and Very Special Kids. “We are performing in Jump Dance Challenge’s Together We Dance Convention supporting the Good Friday Appeal on Friday 6 April,” she said.

VOLUNTEERS at Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens are said to enjoy stimulation and social interaction in the productive surroundings. Others simply want to contribute to their community.

Whatever the reason, volunteers are needed to keep the gardens in top shape. “Think volunteering and join our friendly team at the rose gardens,” chairperson Ron Fisher said.

“It is rewarding and fun and no prior experience is necessary.

We will teach you the skills you need to help keep our rose garden looking beautiful.”

Mr Fisher said if maintaining roses is not the only work: “There are plenty of other tasks to get involved in,” he said. “These range from administrative tasks, driving the ride-on mower, maintaining lawns, whipper snipping, garden edging, mulching and other jobs, including maintenance of the irrigation systems.”

Volunteers usually work in the gardens, on the corner of Dunns and Mornington-Tyabb roads, on Monday and Tuesday mornings.

The meeting room, with its library of gardening books, is a haven for the volunteers. “It is a place where they can enjoy morning tea, chat and get updates on rose growing,” Mr Fisher said. “The ambience of the room and the happy approach of our volunteers make it an enjoyable experience.”

Car makers call for vital safety check SPONSORED CONTENT AR makers have called on vehicle owners to urgently check if their vehicles are affected by the Takata airbag recall saying they risked serious harm by failing to make a simple check.

The faulty Takata airbags have the potential to seriously injure or even kill vehicle drivers and passengers.

There have been 24 reported deaths and more than 300 reported injuries globally attributed to the faulty airbags.

Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries chief executive Tony Weber said Australians had checked the recall status of more than seven million vehicles on the automotive industry’s Takata Airbag recall website www.ismyairbagsafe.com.au since it was launched in July 2018.

C

This had helped vehicle owners identify over one million vehicles that were affected by the recall and needed to be taken to dealerships for the replacement of faulty airbags.

“Our roads are busy with people travelling with their families,” Mr Weber said.

"We plead with vehicle owners to urgently check the status of their vehicle. It’s simple and free – just go to the website and enter your vehicle’s registration plate number and state or territory.”

“If your vehicle is affected, you can make arrangements with your vehicle brand’s local dealership to have the faulty airbag replaced.”

Mr Weber said car makers had replaced the airbags in more than two million vehicles. “The industry has made significant progress.

"But there are still approximately one million vehicles to be rectified. These vehicles are located throughout Australia.

"They are in every state and territory, every city, every regional town and every post code. They are fleet vehicles, business vehicles and family vehicles," Mr Weber said.

In addition to checking the status of their vehicles, Mr Weber said it was essential vehicle owners immediately followed-up any communication they received directly from their vehicle’s manufacturer.

“Don’t ignore the communication, don’t put it to one side and don’t forget to make a simple service booking.”

Bonbeach FNC

Frankston YCW FNC THE Frankston YCW Stonecats had a rollercoaster year in 2018, recovering from a massive losing streak to make finals.

The Stonecats showed the form that has seen them dominate for the last decade when they started the season off with a win, but they ended up on a seven game losing streak. They were hampered by injuries and lost long time ruckman Ash Eames to retirement. Frankston YCW recovered brilliantly to finish the regular season with 9 wins and one draw, just scraping into finals. Frankston YCW won their first final but were eventually knocked out by Mt Eliza on the back of a big performance from Jordan Moncrieff. The emergence of young ruckman Macklin Raine was a highlight.

After being grand finalists in 2017, Bonbeach had a disappointing 2018.

They won seven games and fell short of the finals. Bonbeach finished seventh on the ladder, just behind the Frankston Bombers. The star player for Bonbeach was Trent Dennis–Lane who booted in 46 goals in 17 games. Trent averaged 2.71 goals per game.

In 2019 the club expects improved results across all football and netball teams.

Pines FNC

Rosebud FNC

PINES will be looking to go back to back after a fantastic season which saw them win the grand final. Pines won the premiership in thrilling fashion, kicking a point after the siren.

Their star player of the season was league best and fairest winner Paul Scanlon. Their season was also helped by former AFL forward Aaron Edwards, who kicked a total of 72 goals in 19 matches. One key offseason signing was former Richmond forward Robin Nahas.

Senior Coach Paddy Swayn said that the 2018 season was “an overall success because of our fantastic run in the finals.”

“Our main focus this year would to be more consistent and win more games, while staying fit and healthy until the end of the season. Our goal is to win the premiership and go back to back”.

ROSEBUD had a surprisingly disappointing season, finishing in ninth place. They only won four games and they were nowhere near making the finals. They won their first game of the season 77-67 but they didn’t get another win until two months later.

Their 2019 season will be overseen by a fresh pair of eyes with former premiership coach Nick Jewell, son of former Tigers premiership coach Tony Jewell, returning to the helm.

Their 2018 Senior Coach Adrian McBean said “I thought 2018 was a very good season because of the team’s attitude and because of the team chemistry.”

“The club could improve on recruiting new players and bringing in some fresh talent to help them win more games,”

Mount Eliza FNC

MORNINGTON Football Club had a rather disappointing 2018 season. They finished eighth and they only won four games. The lack of wins meant that Mornington FC did not make the finals.

A highlight in Mornington’s season was thrashing Rosebud by 51 points in a compelling victory.

Jackson Calder was the team’s leading goal scorer with 41 goals in 18 matches. Jackson averaged 2.28 goals per game.

Senior Coach, Simon Goosey said “We had a lot of things go our way at the start of the season but we unfortunately had a lot of our key players injured.

We played fairly well throughout the season we just couldn’t finish our chances in close games” “Our goal is to play division one finals footy.”

Mercedes Benz Mornington

MT ELIZA Football Club had a brilliant season. They won 13 games, made the finals and finished second on the ladder.

Mt Eliza had a few amazing performances throughout the season. They had a total of six games were they scored over 100 points. On the August 4, Mt Eliza played Rosebud and destroyed them by 85 points.

Overall Mt Eliza had a very successful season, which should come as no surprise because of the clubs mostly prestigious history throughout the decade. Jordan Moncrieff was the team’s star player with 58 goals in 21 matches.

Frankston Bombers FNC

RIGHT up until the last kick of the year, the Sorrento Sharks were enjoying a very good season, winning 15 games and making the grand final.

They enjoyed having some scary firepower up forward, with Leigh Poholke top scoring with 54 goals in 20 matches. The Sharks suffered a rough loss to start the year but bounced back to finish on top of the ladder.

THE Frankston Bombers endured a mediocre season in 2018, only winning nine games which meant they missed out on the finals. Star player Jarrad Grant, formerly of Western Bulldogs and Gold Coast, was experimented in a few different positions but ultimately could not find the form expected of an ex-AFL player. The Frankston Bombers finished sixth on the ladder, a game out of a finals spot.

Playing coach Beau Muston said to improve in 2019, his side must “sharpen up for division one footy and not miss our chances in close games.”

“We have recruited some new players to hopefully strengthen our squad for the upcoming season,” he said.

“Our goal is to make the finals and play proper division one footy”.

They will be helped by the signing of young ruckman Harry Prior and speedy half back Sam Pickess.

Dromana FNC

Edi-Asp Sporting Club

DROMANA had an unbelievable season. They destroyed almost every team in the competition.

Dromana only lost two games throughout the regular season and the finals, winning the other 19 and the grand final. Dromana finished in 1st place and earned a well-deserved promotion to the division 1 football league. Ethan Johnstone was the leading goal scorer with 54 goals whacked in, in 20 matches.

EDITHVALE-ASPENDALE had a very good season. They won 12 games and made the finals. However, they were eliminated from the finals in their first game. Edithvale-Aspendale finished fourth on the ladder, just behind the Pines. The leading goal scorer on this team was Michael Bussey with 21 goals in 15 matches.

Senior coach Graeme Yeats said “Our season was a tough one. We underachieved in the finals, we were kicked out in the first week and we failed our expectations”.

“We have made a few key signings to hopefully help us in the 2019 season. Tom Lamb and Callan Van Dyke are two of our promising players.”

ON THE COVER

A BEACON OF STYLE FOR AN IDYLLIC FAMILY LIFE BUILT and designed around the private enjoyment of the family, this handsome brick home is a delight to discover with an incredible interior showcasing a true designer style that must be seen. The sensation of pleasant neutral tones that greet you from the first moment are all complemented by the quality carpets in the nearby formal lounge and the lovely polished timber floors along the hallway that breezily whisks you through the home. A vast open plan family room incorporates a magnificent kitchen which has stone counter tops to an enormous u-shaped bench that houses the dishwasher, and in addition to the handy walk-in pantry is a plethora of storage cupboards and drawers. This dream kitchen also includes a stainless-steel wall oven, gas hotplates and a glass splashback.

The adjoining dining area is nicely set into its own alcove which affords a great outlook to the pool and entertaining area and the excellent lounge has a gas long fire that creates a warm ambience. Extending from the lounge is a bright rumpus room which ensures there is always enough space here for every family member. A small second hallway takes you to three bedrooms – two have built-in robes - that all share the main bathroom, whilst the stunning master bedroom, back towards the front of the home, has a superb, fully-tiled ensuite with double vanity, huge shower and a spa bath. A separate study could be a staggering fifth bedroom if required. Externally, this home is just as impressive with entertaining areas demonstrating genuine privacy so they can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. A spacious undercover area is sure to be the stage for many events over the years and an aggregate paved alfresco is the perfect spot to soak up the sun beside the solar and gas heated pool, securely fenced behind discreet glass balustrading.

Landscaped gardens add the finishing touches to the large 1102 square metre block and from the street is a circular driveway leading up to a double garage.n

The main bedroom has a beautiful light-filled ensuite and walk in robe with a second bathroom catering to the other three bedrooms. Outside is a handy shed, and with a bit of Summer still to go and the promise of another warm Autumn, the in-ground pool will certainly keep you cool.n

NESTLED amidst well-established gardens in the beautiful surrounds of prized Mount Eliza, just moments from Moondah Beach and Earimil Creek Bushland Reserve, this flexible single-level home caters for the growing family across all ages. Bringing the whole family together for mornings and night is the central kitchen with large breakfast counter and adjoining meals area. There is a cosy dining zone incorporated into a larger living room and down the hall from here is the master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe. The east wing has an enormous second living area that is perfect for a games or rumpus room and there are two more bedrooms that share the main bathroom. A separate study could easily be a fourth bedroom if required. Pine lined ceilings with exposed beams provide great character and there is plenty of natural light throughout. Outside is a huge undercover entertaining area with six-person spa, whilst the fantastic 1047 square metre block provides great space for children and pets, not to mention the established vegetable and native gardens.

Langwarrin FNC

MPNFL Division Two

LANGWARRIN had a relatively good year with 10 wins in the regular season and two wins in the finals (out of three games). They only finished in fifth place however. Jesse Murphy was a goal scoring threat throughout the season. He finished the season with a fantastic record of 74 goals kicked in 21 matches. On the final game of the regular season Langwarrin secured a win over Pearcedale by 107 points.

Senior Coach, Josh Beard said “Realistically we were lucky to make the finals by only two points.

We could have been more organized off the field and our team needs to improve our footwork skills.”

“We have made a few key signings for the 2019 season. Two of our promising new players come from Melbourne Football Club and another one comes from the Franskton Bombers”, he said.

Rye FNC

RYE had a disappointing season. They only won six games and they did not make the finals.

Rye finished in ninth place on the ladder, only a few spots away from being relegated. Nicholas Strickland was the team’s most consistent goal scorer. He kicked 24 goals in 18 matches.

Despite the lack of wins through the season, Rye managed to beat Pearcedale by 51 points halfway through the year. This was the best game Rye played all season.

Senior Coach, Josh Moore said “The Rye Football Club has been experimenting with younger players during the last couple of seasons. We have been promoting lots of the players from the under 19’s to the senior team. The exposure to division 1 often can be quite difficult for the young players, as the competition is a lot harder”

Hastings FNC

Somerville FNC

HASTINGS had a brilliant start to the season with a huge win against Crib Point. Hastings won by 111 points. This was the biggest victory of the season. Hastings finished the season with 10 wins but they did not make the finals. They ended the season in sixth place. The best player on the team was Luke Hewitt. Luke kicked 45 goals in 18 matches.

Senior Coach Rikki Ferraro said “The season was very disappointing. We missed the finals by half a game and lots of our players did their own thing instead of sticking to the game plan”.

“The season was one of the worst in club history because of off field issues, but we have signed some star players, one of them being AFL legend, Brendan Fevola to help the club achieve success in the 2019 season”, Rikki said.

SOMERVILLE had a mediocre season at best.

They only won six games and they did not come close to making the finals. Somerville finished eighth behind Pearcedale. Billy Rolfe was the team’s most frequent goal scorer with 39 goals scored in 16 games.

Chelsea FNC

MPNFL Division Two

Crib Point FNC

CHELSEA had a decent season. They won 12 games and made the finals, however Chelsea were knocked out of the finals instantly after they lost to Langwarrin by 12 points. Chelsea finished fourth on the ladder behind Karingal. Curtis Bywater was the team’s leading goal scorer. He booted in 65 goals in 19 matches.

AFTER finishing top of the ladder in 2014, they lost the grand final. Since then, Crib Point have spent a few years in the wilderness consistently coming in the bottom couple of teams in the competition.

2019 sees the appointment of a new coach, Steve Hamill.

“We feel really positive about 2019” said Steve.

“Obviously we’re starting from a low base, but the great thing about Crib Point is all our players have their best football ahead of them.

“The players are very coachable, and a lot of them are locals, so they love the club with great passion.

“The only way is up, and we’re working on getting that winning culture back at Crib Point!”

Red Hill FNC

Tyabb FNC

RED HILL had a brilliant year. They racked up 13 wins in the normal season, two wins in the finals and they played in the grand final. They lost the grand final however. Red Hill finished second on the ladder behind Dromana. Jonathon Ross was the primary goal scorer on the 2018 Red Hill team with 42 goals in 21 matches. Red Hill has had four successful final runs since 2014 and one of their players, Alex Lee was sent to Port Adelaide. This all means that Red Hill is destined to win a trophy very soon.

TYABB have had a tough few years, but 2018 saw much improvement. While the ladder had them as second bottom with six wins and 12 losses, there were five teams with six wins.

It was only on percentage that kept them that low, and if they had even one more win, they would have been knocking on the door of finals football.

“We are feeling optimistic,” said coach Aaron Pacey. “We have a good bunch of kids coming through that are really promising and stepping up to senior football. We’ve also added a few new recruits and have a few others returning to the club for 2019.”

Karingal FNC

Seaford FNC

Pearcedale FNC

Devon Meadows FNC

KARINGAL had a pretty decent season with 13 wins, finals footy and a nice third place finish on the ladder. Unfortunately for Karingal they lost both games they played in the finals and were eliminated Matthew Stanley was the team’s primary scorer with 28 goals booted in 11 matches.

PEARCEDALE had a very poor season.

They only won six games and they did not come close to making the finals. Travis Bravo was the team’s main goal scorer with 22 goals in 18 matches. Pearcedale finished seventh on the ladder. Pearcedale have not achieved much success since 2003, the last time they won any silverware.

SEAFORD suffered through a shocking year in 2018, finishing bottom and being relegated to Division Two. They only won three games. Their top goal scorer for the year was Curtis Barker, who booted 24 goals in 17 games. The biggest triumph for Seaford in the 2018 season was during the first game of the year, when they secured a nice win over the future grand final winners, the Pines Pythons.

DESPITE a fantastic win over Pearcedale at the start of the season, Devon Meadows had a dreadful season that was filled with difficult events.

They only won six games and they missed the finals. Devon Meadows finished tenth on the ladder, just shy of relegation. Michael Theodoridis was the star player on the team. He kicked 60 goals in 18 matches.

WHAT’S NEW...

Undercover Blinds have you covered CHRIS Reynolds, owner of Undercover Blinds, started the business in 2007 primarily as an installations company. Then two years later he saw a decent opportunity in specialised external applications.

“When I was a contract installer we installed for a lot of companies around Melbourne and I saw how we could do it better. At that point I decided to go out and give it a go, started working out of the shed at home, and then in about 2009 it was our first stage of manufacturing,” said Chris, of the opening of their firs factory. “Within the first two years we had to get a bigger factory and started to focus on a key group of products relating just to external applications.”

These days, Undercover Blinds are the experts in ‘customised works’ within the blind and awnings industry with over 120 years combined experience within the blinds and awnings industry.

“Many competitors regularly use our service for shade solutions and advice for their own projects,” said Chris. “If you are looking for a quality solution to your outdoor shade project, we can help. We offer expert advice, custom design and installation, high quality materials, and all types of shade systems.”

At Undercover Blinds, the expert advice comes from years of experience in the industry. The team can cater for any special requirements in any style of shade system, and they only use materials that look great and will last well in the harsh Australian sun.

Undercover Blinds specialise in folding arm awnings, drop arm awnings outdoor patio blinds, internal roller blinds, retractable roof systems, roof blinds, sun blinds, canopies, plantation shutters, and carb-o-lite.

“If you have a special application that needs a custom solution not covered in the above list, give us a ring as over the years we have been involved in many unique projects,” said Chris. “Our long experience in the industry is your assurance we can give your outdoor blinds or awning project a great result.”

Undercover Blinds is at Factory 21/61 Frankston Gardens Drive, Carrum Downs.

Likewise, ignoring the blame game, the fear game, of our prime minister [Scott Morrison] on asylum seekers (inference regarding paedophiles, murderers, rapists), supporting Peter Dutton suggesting they take housing and hospital spots from Australians, an obvious nonsense. Add in our PM’s comments on terrorism, specifically, “radical extremist Islamist terrorism”. Place your vote, your right, by all means. Either that or, with respect, read the fine print?

‘Foot soldiers’ between the lines Rod Kerley states that he contacted me on four occasions by email asking questions and “have not had the courtesy of even of an automatic answer” (“Answers required” Letters 19/3/19).

A thorough search of my email account revealed that there is no record of Mr Kerley ever contacting my office. If he had done so he would realise that every email received in my office is sent an automatic reply.

Further, a perfunctory search on Facebook revealed that Mr Kerley’s claims to be a swinging voter are dubious, given his connection to Liberal insiders.

Many know that the major political parties try to discredit their opponents by a standard practice of having their foot soldiers write “letters to the editor” of community newspapers posing as concerned voters .

Australians are tired of the political game playing and mistruths of the two major political parties.

Julia Banks, independent candidate for Flinders Editor: Julia Banks’s automatic email reply responded within seconds on Thursday 21 March to an email from The News. Rod Kerley told The News (14/3/19) that he is not a member of a political party and has not sent questions to other candidates for Flinders.

Candidate’s train line There are two types of ignorance in this world, blissful ignorance and just plain ignorance. Labor’s candidate for Flinders has proven himself to be plain ignorant on the Frankston to Baxter rail line (“Labor powers up for Baxter train” The News 19/3/19).

Despite $228 million dollars invested by our federal government, Josh Sinclair not only attempted to pretend this funding didn’t exist, but then said he would “move quickly” on this. No funding, just that he would move quickly.

It then got worse when he said the business case would examine the route of the line. The route. As if there wasn’t already a train line there. Maybe Mr Sinclair means to have the line run via Hobart.

As a worker for a Labor state MP, he must acknowledge that Labor at the state level has not put in one single dollar for this extension.

Not for the business case he so willingly hides behind, or for construction.

Perhaps the Bill Shorten and Labor can speak to the only roadblock on this issue, their Victorian counterparts in Spring Street. But maybe on this point Mr Sinclair is just blissfully ignorant.

David Burgess, Sorrento Editor: Mr Burgess has told The News he is a member of the Liberal Party “but, regardless of that, I feel incredibility strongly on looking after the Mornington Peninsula”.

Tax ‘cake’ limited With 250 older people I attended the public hearing at Mt Martha of the Standing Committee on Economics into “Labor’s retiree tax”, as it was described in the flyer. The registration address ‘stoptheretiermenttax’ goes to a page authorised by [Liberal MP] Tim Wilson as chair.

This committee is funded by taxpayers. How does it justify using such party political advertising? It is deliberately misleading. This is not a retirement tax, it is a payment by the government to people who are not paying tax.

I made a presentation, noting that the practice costs us $5 billion a year. That $5 billion could be spent on health, education or to fix our ailing aged

care system.

While I was talking, Tim Wilson, was smirking, making comments, rolling his eyes and generally behaving in what I regarded as being disrespectfull.

Others talked about losing money under the policy, however none provided reasons why they should receive a government payment when they are in the privileged position of paying no tax.

Many claimed they did not rely on government benefits, somewhat ironic given they were arguing for continuing to receive a payment from the government.

Changes to policy can negatively effect people.

This government lowered the assets test threshold, and changed the taxation discounting for defined benefit pensions, effectively reducing the income of many thousands of retirees. There were no inquiries into those changes.

The taxation cake is limited. With or without franking credits I am likely to have a higher income, because I pay no tax, than someone who might end up caring for me in aged care.

It is not fair to expect that their tax is used to support a cash handout for me.

The Herbert Smith Freehills bargaining survey (Australia) found that 60 per cent of employers want to grant workers only nominal wage increases or to freeze wages, with many more looking to cut other conditions from workplace agreements.

But, (get ready for the elephant) there is no mention of the exorbitant salaries and bonuses for the top tier greedy aristocrats running the companies with wages of top chief executives averaging $4.75 million — or 78 times more than the average Australian worker ($61,000).

CEO earnings have climbed 46 per cent faster than typical workers earnings over the past 12 months.

The Liberal federal government claims that fair wage increases would cost jobs. However, the Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics in the US did an exhaustive study on the issue and found “the six cities that implemented higher minimum wages have stronger private sector growth than the average comparison county. Our (the Center) analysis uses statistical methods that isolate the causal effect of the local minimum wage policies… Recent research on minimum wages up to $10 (37 per cent increase from minimum wage) has generally not found employment effects”. Me, myself and I, we all rest our case.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Overpass understatement

Greg Hunt claims that GetUp! only campaigns against Liberal candidates with viscious and personal attacks, which is pretty much crap (“Hunt a GetUp! ‘target’ in federal poll” The News 19/3/19). GetUp! vigorously attacks policies not parties and the Liberals are on the short end of these policies.

As for “environmental assessments”, GetUp! can document every claim made and even the mainstream media (except the Murdoch press) is in agreement, and they get their facts from climate scientists, not studies paid for by the coal industry.

Now for some dirty tricks: The Liberal Party is raising money through cynical attacks on GetUp! It has launched a fundraising website peddling lies about the GetUp! movement and its independence – even after the Australian Electoral Commission affirmed the independence of our people-powered, values-driven campaigning.

Using an old Eric Abetz attack, the Liberals have even accused GetUp! of supporting a neoNazi in a by-election – who actually appeared dead last on their how-to-vote cards.

Many statements made by Mr Hunt are discounted by science. You just have to read the news and watch TV to see how emissions (for example) are rising under this government, not decreasing. The Liberals continue to support dying industries (coal) at the expense of jobs and industries of the future (renewables) John Cain, McCrae

It is interesting to note that the new policy-free Labor MP for Nepean, Chris Brayne, had the temerity to state in Parliament that the previous member [Liberal] Martin Dixon, had done nothing about the Jetty Road, Rosebud overpass during his tenure.

Hansard 19 March 2000 and 2 May 2007 shows Mr Dixon clearly advocated for action on this matter. I also refer to the non-letter from then Roads Minister Luke Donellan on 30 May 2016, in which he basically dismisses the overpass concept as low priority.

In 2000 Mr Brayne was at primary school.

In all the years of Labor government, the only money spent was a required upgrade of the Boneo sewerage treatment plant.

The overpass was a prominent part of the [Nepean] Liberal candidate Russell Joseph`s campaign, along with many other important policy items, such as freeway noise and upgrading the Rosebud Hospital, which Flinders MP Greg Hunt (another victim of Mr Brayne’s vitriol) is pushing hard to achieve.

For Mr Brayne to say this project has been ignored is an insult to the 1500 petitioners who presented to government in 2015 only to be ignored by his now Labor colleagues.

Mr Brayne admits to picking Mr Joseph`s knowledge of the electorate in an attempt to get some action from the union dominated state Labor government.

It is only now that it is a marginal seat [Labor is] showing any interest at all in the Mornington Peninsula.

It is to Mr Joseph`s great credit that he is adopting a bi-partisan approach to progress the Hinterland Environmental Water Scheme, devised by him and Steve Marshall (“Water supply a poll issue” The News 13/3/19).

It is a project of enormous benefit to the peninsula but, in concept also, to the state.

Political posturing

No heat on sharks

No doubt the Mornington Peninsula in inhabited by a majority of voters who don’t bother with the details, Liberal or Labor. I believe John Manfield is of the Liberal brethren, notwithstanding the details (“Balance Views” Letters 13/3/19) .

The mere mention of jobs created and children being taken off Manus and Nauru as a plus, discloses a naivety in these matters, let alone giving credit to Flinders MP (and our health minister) Greg Hunt and his current scurrying for favour after the disaster of supporting Peter Dutton’s push to oust [then prime minister] Malcolm

I see from the article on gummy sharks in Port Phillip that global warming and the accompanying sea level rise is being blamed for the decline in gummy shark numbers (“Bay’s gummy shark stocks in decline” The News 13/3/19).

Is this to draw attention away from the likely cause, the killing of pregnant gummy sharks?

Something can be done about that, but it is not possible to modify the climate, as pointed out

by John Godfrey in the letters page (“Hold your breath” Letters 13/3/19).

Rapid sea level rise is not happening, as

Editor: Marg D’Arcy was the unsuccessful Labor candidate for Kew at last year’s state election.

Independent GetUp!

pointed out by the Swedish sea levels expert Dr Nils Axel Mörner. He resigned from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change when it continued to publish false information on sea level rise. He said sea level was more likely to fall in the future.

The level of CO2 in the atmosphere is governed by temperature of the sea, which contains a huge reservoir of CO2.

When the yearly average world seawater temperatures are plotted against the yearly average world CO2 levels a straight-line relationship is obtained. I can provide the plot to anyone interested.

Even if all burning of fossil fuels were stopped it would have no effect on the climate that depends on heat and other energy inputs, primarily from the Sun. Henry Broadbent, Somers Editor: The article “Bay’s gummy shark stocks in decline” (The News 13/3/19) quotes the Victorian Fisheries Authority as seeing climate change having “potential concern” for the long term survival gummy sharks in Port Phillip and fishing charter operator Charlie Micallef as saying the catching and killing of pregnant sharks is the immediate threat.

No explanation The carbon caused climate change theory is becoming a tiresome political distraction, but I suppose it is nice and simple and befits the gullible.

Mobs of protesting school children demanding “climate change action” shows the desperation of the carbon theory proponents in having to use children, as well as the poor quality of education.

Do they still teach physics and “clear thinking”? The unsophisticated believers should stop denying historical records, geological facts and proxy climate evidence. Do they consider other gases, ocean algae and plankton, deforestation, ocean currents, ocean temperatures, solar activity (in particular) and about 20 other known factors, including the interplay between them all?

There is no comprehensive explanation for climate change, short term or long term.

Civilisations have survived much worse than a few degrees deviation from today’s norm.

Perhaps additional carbon dioxide is a consequence of warming, not the cause. After all, it is all just a theory.

Traffic concerns Civic Reserve in Dunns Road, Mornington contains many activities, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, Oak Hill Gallery, the rose garden, leisure centre, tennis courts, gymnastics, table tennis, bowls club, croquet club, netball and basketball. Added to this and near completion are soccer pitches and an athletics track.

This is a great area.

I belong to the bowls club, but think the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council hasn’t taken account of the traffic that will use the tiny but very busy Dunns Road. The proposed roundabout is good, but there needs to be another entrance or exit. The present road will simply be impossible with the amount of traffic on busy days Albert Mew, Mornington

Monitor car park Construction of the Continental Hotel car park at Sorrento is well underway. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s permit for the acquisition by the Continental of the publicly owned car park was predicated on one floor being solely for the use of the public.

It is now time that council announced how it is going to impose its restriction 24 hours of the day, seven days a week.

I believe infrequent visits by council’s parking officers will ensure that the “public floor” is but yet another floor used by Continental residents and their guests and we, the ratepayers, have been dudded yet again.

Human rights Mornington Peninsula Shire has been outstanding in the support given to the Human Rights Association. Funding for the recent oration at Wilson Hall, Mornington included a 6pm supper to enable the public to attend at that time on Wednesday 13 March. Many thanks to both the shire for its support and also to the speaker, Nyadol Nyoun for her words and being available.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Early settler, Henry Scarborough, dies at 81 Compiled by Brodie Cowburn MR Henry Scarborough, who died at the residence of his son, Cranbourne Road, Frankston, on Tuesday last, had attained the ripe old age of 81 years.

He was born in 1838 near what is now Market Street, Melbourne, 3 years after the Yarra district became a white settlement.

Mr. J. Fleming, a member of the Brunswick shire council, who is still living, was Mr Scarborough’s senior by a few months, and is believed to be the oldest Victorian native.

Mr Scarborough’s father was the first poundkeeper of Melbourne, the pound being situate in Elizabeth Street opposite the present site of the Victorian markets.

The old gentleman came to Frankston some 40 years ago, and was one of the oldest parishioners of St. Paul’s Church, in which, for upwards of 30 years he hold office as verger and churchwarden.

Mrs Scarborough, who was a daughter of Mr Swords of Dandenong, predeceased her husband by 23 years.

There were 12 children 8 of whom still survive.

There are 22 grandchildren and one great grandchild.

The remains were interred in the Frankston cemetery, on Thursday, the funeral being largely attended. *** MR Fred V. Taylor, who is well and favorably known throughout this district has an extended advertisement in another column relating to his motor car agencies.

Mr Taylor, who saw three years service at the front in the motor corps

and returned home badly wounded, knows the first and last thing about motor cars and his phone number should be in the hat band of every motorist. *** THE Rev E Tonkin conducted the Methodist services on Sunday last at Pearcedale in the morning and Somerville afternoon and evening.

Mr J T. Twyford officiated at Pearcedale in the evening. The congregations were good, and the display of Harvest products in each instance was exceptionally fine.

A notable feature at Pearcedale was a procession of girls each bearing a small sheaf, and singing “Bringing in the Sheaves”.

At Somerville the choir rendered two anthems with splendid harmony and taste, Miss Vines singing the solo in the evening, and Mr Russell Denham presiding at the organ. *** TODAY Messrs Brody and Mason will offer for sale several very desirable freehold properties in the town of Frankston.

The sale commences at 3.30 o’clock at the rooms of the auctioneer. *** MEMBERS of the Presbyterian denomination continue to work successfully in the direction of raising funds for the erection of a church in Frankston.

And the more optimistic predict that the building will be an accomplished fact within the next twelve months.

The splendid congregations at the services conducted by the Moderator last Sunday in the Mechanics’ Institute proved very cheering to those

who have the welfare of the church at heart, and at the same time emphasised the urgent need of a sacred edifice.

At a recent congregational meeting held at “Osborne House”, authority was given for the payment of the land selected as a building site and the same meeting also nominated the following gentlemen to act as trustees: viz. Dr. McKeddie, Messrs H. Masterton, J. Martin, W. Taylor and W. Crawford Young.

It is understood that when the land is properly vested in the trustees something definite will take place in the matter of proceeding with the church building. *** VERY large congregations. attended the Presbyterian church services on Sunday last when the pulpit was occupied both morning and evening by the Rev. D. Macrae Stewart, the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria.

In the forenoon the orthodox service was held, but at night there was an innovation, when the preacher dispensed with a sermon and delivered instead a stirring address on his experiences with the A.I.F. abroad.

As senior chaplain of the forces the reverend gentleman saw service in Egypt, Galipoli and France, and from the rich store of his memories he draws word pictures both vivid and thrilling and not untouched by pathos.

Under his cultured and sympathetic treatment the light and shade effects of his stories proved wonderfully impressive.

There was no mistaking the fact that in the Moderator the “diggers” posses

a stalwart and courageous champion, and one who will ever hold dear the associations connected with his office as padre.

During the service Mrs Carroll, of Baxter, sang very effectively, the solo “Oh Love that wilt not lot me go”, Miss Cowan presiding at the organ. *** EVER since its creation the Country Roads Board has been deluged with requests from municipalities to “take over” certain roads within their boundaries.

On Wednesday a deputation to the Minister of Public Works from the Municipal Association touched lightly on the subject.

The Minister emphatically assured those present that the board would do no such thing as take over roads.

He had in mind a resolution passed in Bendigo recently urging the extension of the board’s usefulness in the direction of including certain roads in its programme.

“Wait until a deputation with that object sees me”, he significantly remarked.

“There will be a real heart-to-heart talk and some illuminating things said.” *** SEAFORD Progress Association.

The monthly meeting will be held tonight (Saturday) to receive report of deputation re building by-law to advocate the inclusion of Carrum Vale Road under the Country Roads Board Scheme and other business. *** We are requested to state that owing to the influenza epidemic the Welcome Social to Returned Soldiers at

Frankston has been postponed indefinitely. *** TWO brass bands visited Frankston last week end. The members of the Essendon Town Band engaged the locals in a cricket match on Saturday afternoon and undeterred by their defeat made the town resound with melody in the evening and on Sunday.

The Spansley Street Clifton Hill Methodist brass band played several sacred selections in the Park on Sunday afternoon and at night, some of the members assisted at the service in the Methodist church. *** THE opening night of the Returned Soldiers euchre tournament eventuated on Thursday, and proved a great success.

Miss Winnie Rodgers won the ladies prize, which consisted of a case of silver spoons, presented by Mrs Hogan, while the gents trophy, a neat tobacco pouch, donated by Mr C. Wood, was annexed by Mr Norton.

After cards, dancing was indulged in to music supplied by Mr Brieley.

The duties of M.C. were carried out

by Mr Paxton. Refreshments were provided during the evening. Mr R. H. Thompson, the secretary, in thanking all who assisted, and particularly the “Wattle” Club for the use of tables, announced that the parties would be held every week in aid of the Soldiers Memorial Hall Fund, Frankston. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 29 March 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

From Rushworth to Eternity – the Art of the Memoir

By Stuart McCullough IT was years in the making. But after a tonne of effort my father finally completed his memoir: ‘Stand Back – Let the Dog See the Rabbit’. Cleverly, he’s left plenty of room for a sequel, as it only covers the period up to 1964. This is before I or my siblings had even been thought of, much less born. As my brother pointed out, presumably our father decided it was all down hill after that point.

Bringing Pete’s memoir into existence was a team effort - one that involved a lot of people and an extraordinarily high rate of attrition. This is attributable to my father’s preferred mode of written communication: unintelligible scribble. My father’s handwriting looks as though a slug has been dipped in ink before setting it free on the page. Technically speaking, it’s cursive script – a description not of the handwriting itself but the reaction of anyone foolish enough to try to read it. I volunteered to try and decipher my father’s handwriting but it was a task that got the better of me.

When, finally, the book was ready for publication it still needed a title.

It was my sister, Beck, who suggested, ‘Stand Back – Let the Dog See the Rabbit’ as it was something our father often said when we were growing up and made even less sense then than it does now. Other family members had similar ideas, each suggesting phrases used regularly through our childhood years. Ultimately, however, it was decided that the world was not yet ready for a book called ‘Bugger it’ or ‘Life Gets Tedious’ even if these expressions had been occasionally used. Perhaps

for future installments.

Pete’s memoir has thirteen chapters in all. The chapters are divided into subjects including family history, each incremental step of the educational experience starting with preschool all the way to University, his home town of Rushworth and life as a young teacher. Each chapter is stuffed full of pictures. Some are beautiful.

Some are blurry. And some are so abstract that their relevance is hard to determine.

The book contains many stories with which I was already familiar.

This includes the spell my father spent in England as a young teacher when, in 1964, he was asked by one of the students whether he’d ever heard of a group called ‘The Beatles’.

His reply of, ‘We would never tolerate that kind of rubbish in Australia’ is one that has lived in infamy ever since John, Paul, George and Ringo toured the country later that year and were greeted like heroes. Which, of course, they were.

There’s also the story of the snakeskin. The short version is that my father was out playing in the bush near Rushworth when he came across a snake skin. It was quite a specimen and my father immediately rushed back to the family newsagency, storing it under the counter. There it was discovered by his mother who concluded that the snake proper was probably somewhere in the shop which would need to be evacuated.

But there are plenty of things I didn’t know. For example, my grandfather made a point of reading all the novels of Charles Dickens. I had done the exact same thing decades

later, oblivious to fact it was family interest. He also had a life-long aversion to eating rice which is not something many people can say, but can be attributed to his daily diet of rice and prunes while a young soldier in Mesopotimia. He also thought that rhubarb was only good for cleaning saucepans. Which makes my father’s passion for the stuff even more perplexing.

As with any memoir, there’s the question of ‘how much detail is too much detail?’ Suffice to say, while I was as surprised as anyone to learn that my father had the same locker in form one and form four, I’m not sure it’s information I particularly needed.

The section on the perils of outdoor toilets (aka the dunny)might be of interest to those who have chosen to study the field, but for anybody else might be considered surplus to requirements.

And then there’s the matter of his hometown. Although he still loves the place, I would have to say that, at times, he’s a little harsh on Rushworth and its inhabitants. It is perhaps for the best that the memoir is the subject of a modest print run.

What I liked most about my father’s memoir is not what I learned but what I heard. On every page, I can hear his voice. In quiet moments, I can hear him deliver the punch line to a story with a garrulous laugh. I can see him leaning back and his eyes tighten as he does so. It took a long time to complete, but I’m genuinely glad he persevered. Bring on volume two. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Mornington News

THE BOB DYLAN AND TOM PETTY SHOW: TRUE CONFESSIONS REVISITED IT was February 1986; Tyson was the heavyweight champ, Reagan was president, but the real action was at Kooyong…the night Tom Petty supported Bob Dylan. Re-live that incredible line up at The Bob Dylan and Tom Petty Show, and rock out to Running Down a Dream, American Girl, Don’t Come Around Here No More, The Waiting, Refugee, Like a Rolling Stone, All Along the Watchtower, Hard Rain, Tombstone Blues, House of the Rising Sun and many other classic DylanPetty hits.

“32 years on, and people still refer to the True Confessions Tour as one of the most remarkable gigs they’ve ever been to – it holds legendary status,” says creator of the show Jeff Jenkins. “Wanting to create a new show, we asked ourselves, how do we top the success we’ve had with DYLANesque: The Bob Dylan Story? And the answer was obvious - you add another rock legend or two into the mix.”

Bob Dylan and Tom Petty made history when they joined forces for one of the greatest concerts of all time, on their True Confessions Tour in 1986. Taking inspiration from these concerts, singer Jeff Jenkins opens the show as Tom Petty, with backing band The Heartbreakers, and Sarah Highgate as Stevie Nicks. He then performs a short solo set as Dylan and brings the band and Stevie Nicks back out for the final set of rocking Dylan songs.

This show is a part of the Frankston Music Festival and will be performed at Frankston Arts Centre on Saturday 27 April, 8pm. Tickets are $27-$59 and can be booked online on thefac.com.au, over the phone on 03 9784 1060 or in person at 27-37 Davey Street, Frankston.

Battered flake: Langwarrin claimed victory in the MPCA Provinical Grand Final on Sunday, chasing down Sorrento Sharks at Alexandra Park. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Heatherhill heap misery on Rosebud

By Brodie Cowburn

PENINSULA

BADEN Powell are champions of the Peninsula division of MPCA cricket after defeating Main Ridge at Pearcedale Rec Reserve last weekend.

On day one Main Ridge chose to bat first, and would have done very poorly if not for some brilliant individual performances from two batsmen.

A spectacular innings of 94 runs from Daniel Polson was vital for his side. Another well taken 62 from Shaun Foster also looked as if it would be a huge help.

Main Ridge ended up at 9/204 at the end of play on day one.

Play restarted on Sunday for day two and Main Ridge ended up all out for 216. In response Baden Powell got off to a dream start, and at 2/122 victory looked a foregone conclusion.

Mornington News

Wickets started to fall but a brilliant innings of 73 not out from middle order batsman Rhys Elmi helped Baden Powell reach their target and secure the Grand Final win.

DISTRICT

VICTORY tasted sweet for Heatherhill in their District grand final, as they dominated Rosebud in emphatic fashion.

Rosebud won the toss and chose to bat first on day one, and found themselves thoroughly embarrassed. Left rattled at 4/7, Rosebud looked to have their backs against the walls right from the get go.

A steadying innings of 49 from Pete Doughty proved the only light for a dark Rosebud day. He scored 49 runs as his side was dismissed for a small total of 103.

Jake Theobald ran rampant with ball

26 March 2019

in hand for Heatherhill, taking 6/33 in a dominant display.

The following day Heatherhill got to work in chasing down their target and gettin their hands on the trophy.

Number three batsman Kristian Miller put it beyond doubt with an innings of 64 not out, as Heatherhill claimed the win with 8 wickets and 27 overs to spare.

SUB DISTRICT

KIERRAN Voelkl put together a match winning innings for Doamna in their Sub District grand final last weekend, scoring 82 runs on day one to set his side up for a brilliant victory.

Taking on Tootgarook at BA Cairns Reserve, Dromana batted first on day one.

Both openers made starts but once Voelkl came in at number three, their innings really got going. He smashed

12 boundaries, including two sixes on his way to a final total of 82. He was eventually caught for LBW. After 77 over Dromana ended up all out for 166, giving Tootgarook a chance of getting the win when play restarted on Sunday.

In reply Tootagrook were poor. They ended up all out for 122 as Dromana claimed the title of champions.

Zacc Klan was pick of the bowlers for the victorious Doraemon, taking 3/24 off 12 overs.

PROVINCIAL

LANGWARRIN sung their song loud and proud after securing a grand final win in a tight clash with Sorrento.

Batting first on day one, Sorrento put together a decent innings and ended up at 9/220.

Leigh Poholke was pick of the batsmen for the Sharks, putting 65 runs on

the board before his stumps were sent rattling by Travis Campbell.

Matt Prosser took four wickets for Langy, helping set his side up for an achievable run chase.

Langwarrin started day two positively, before losing two wickets in quick succession. Matt Prosser proved his ability with bat in hand as well, as he scored 68 runs.

Langwarrinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unbeaten start of 69 runs came to a quick end, as Sorrento looked to put the pressure back on.

Any chance of a victory for Sorrento was scuppered by a good Travis Campbell innings batting at number five. He scored 48 not out to guide his side to a brilliant win that will be long remembered.

The grand final win sees the Kangaroos go back to back.

Council leaves Southern seething SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie FRANKSTON council re-turfed Monterey Reserve on Friday and the work was so extensive that Southern United was forced to call-off five matches scheduled for the venue on Saturday.

The local women’s club plays at the elite level of the sport in Victoria and president Shannon Palmer was furious that no-one from council contacted her to tell her what was planned.

“It’s a complete and utter debacle for us,” Palmer said on Sunday.

“I don’t know why they didn’t contact us and tell us what they’d planned.

“They contacted (co-tenant) Frankston Pines but they didn’t say what day they were going to do it and they didn’t say they were going to re-turf large sections of the pitch.”

Southern was forced to cancel its under-12, under-14, under-16, under-19 and senior matches.

“This has had a huge impact on our club,” Palmer added.

“We’ve lost all the takings from the day and we now have to play all the matches on consecutive Wednesdays at either Knox (Regional Football Centre) or Darebin.

“I sent council an email on Friday after seeing the state of the ground but they haven’t responded and I’ll be speaking to them first thing Monday morning.”

Pines are due to kick off their league campaign on Saturday at Monterey Reserve and president Steve Spencer plans to contact council to make certain they know of the club’s needs.

“When I saw what had been done I was shocked because there was about an inch and a half gap between the existing pitch and the new turf and it didn’t look to me as if it had been properly bedded in,” Spencer said.

“We won’t be able to train on it that’s for sure but we need it to be ready for Saturday.”

In NPL2 East news Langwarrin lost its second match of the league campaign when it went down 2-0 to St Albans Saints at Lawton Park on Saturday.

St Albans took the lead in the 32nd minute when Langwarrin’s defence couldn’t deal with a long throw-in and Michael Grgic’s shot was blocked but the rebound fell to Adam Hodor on the right of the area and he drilled a low drive past keeper Fraser Maclaren.

Right on half-time Joseph Monek blew a great chance to make it 2-0 when he shot wide with just Maclaren to beat.

St Albans went 2-0 up in the 57th minute when midfielder Dominic Falla won possession just inside the attacking third and waltzed through a paper-thin Langy defence before slamming the ball past

Council chaos: Some of the work done at Monterey Reserve last Friday, which rendered the pitch unplayable the following day.

Maclaren to seal the issue.

Langwarrin’s under-20s recorded a 1-0 victory after a week of upheaval sparked by the resignation of head coach Paul Truman following the previous round’s 6-0 hammering from Springvale White Eagles.

Doug Hodgson and previous assistant Ben Caffrey are in charge and the under20s program will now come under the control of club technical director Stephen Fisher.

Truman was appointed last October and his tenure lasted five league matches.

In State 1 news Mornington went down 1-0 at home to Malvern City on Saturday night.

The local side was without off-season recruits Andy Mclean and Ross Clark who had carryover suspensions while Sam Scott was injured.

The match was just two minutes old when Charlie Parker bundled over Arthur Papadopoulos inside the area leaving referee Manny Haractsis little choice but to point to the spot.

Papadopoulos took the conversion attempt but his poorly struck effort was easily saved by Mornington keeper Taylor Davidson.

Michael Papanicolaou should have put Malvern ahead with a free header in the 10th minute but Davidson saved again.

Mornington’s best chance of the half fell to Sam Catherine who got free on the left of the area only to strike a low shot across Malvern keeper Satoshi Osugi and barely wide of the far post.

The home side struggled to contain

the pace and surging runs of Malvern right back Daniel Bowman but the decisive moment came via Bowman’s vision and distribution.

In the 80th minute he sent a precise diagonal pass from the right to Papadopoulos just outside the area on the left and he took one touch to control the ball and with his second dinked it neatly over the advancing Davidson for the match winner.

It was a moment of quality that broke the hearts of the home fans.

Bowman’s display caught the attention of many onlookers including NPL coaching staff and Malvern will do well to retain him for the remainder of the season.

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers defeated Old Scotch 2-0 at Centenary Park last weekend.

Central defender Michael Hoogendyk and midfielder Danny Brooks were suspended while midfielder Bosco Abbasmoi has had to go overseas due to a family tragedy and is not due back until early May. Strikers were active in the transfer market late last week signing midfielder Jonny Guthrie from Langwarrin, striker Antun Velic from Mazenod Victory and midfielder Jullet Martin from Morwell Pegasus.

Martin was in the starting line-up while Guthrie and Velic came off the bench in the second half.

This was a dour contest that was often difficult to watch but Velic was free at the back post in the 63rd minute and headed back across goal where Adam Crabb slid in and scored from close

range.

Alpha Turay’s late goal put Old Scotch out of its misery.

In State 4 news Baxter lost 5-2 at home to Chelsea while Seaford United went down 4-1 away to Dandenong South.

Harry McCartney reports that Dandenong South went 1-0 up after just two minutes when Hakan Yildiz broke clear and sidefooted the ball past Seaford keeper Anthony Madafferi.

In the 17th minute Ibraim Ibraimi was at the back post and his shot made it 2-0 and seven minutes later Ibraimi’s freekick from just inside the attacking half was completely misjudged by Madafferi and sailed into the back of the net to make it 3-0.

That was the half-time score but Seaford had plenty of the ball in the first period with new recruit Luke Murray and Matthias and Jeremy Schwellinger all going close while Conor Mcfall hit the woodwork.

Two minutes into the second half Yildiz scored again and Seaford’s consolation goal came in the 84th minute via a clinical finish from Murray.

Late in the match a melee erupted and Dion Brown was the only player sent off despite a number of flailing fists and feet.

Meanwhile Rosebud announced its arrival in State 5 South with a thumping 5-1 win away to Bunyip District last weekend.

Bunyip took the lead in the 2nd minute thanks to Andrew Yeo but Chris Parry equalised in the 35th minute.

Rumour was rife that a row in the Bu-

nyip dressing room at half-time led to the substitution of striker Daniel DiVito and Rosebud ran away with the contest in the second half with goals from Blake Hicks (2), Parry and substitute Liam Edwards.

Somerville Eagles started their title tilt in style with a 2-1 away win over Endeavour Hills Fire on Saturday.

The Eagles featured five new signings in the starting line-up – Carlo Cardoso, Daniel Hodge, Callum Richardson, Mark Pagliarulo and captain Charlie Conrath.

The visitors came close on several occasions but right on half-time great hold-up play from Hodge then saw Pagliarulo roll his man and smash the ball into the roof of the net from a tight angle to make it 1-0.

The Eagles kept their opponent at arm’s length in the second half before extending the lead in the 60th minute when Pagliarulo turned his man inside out before crossing the ball to Richardson who bundled home his first competitive goal for his new club.

In the 88th minute Endeavour captain Johnny Negassi curled home a brilliant free-kick but the Eagles comfortably held on for a deserved win.

Injured Somerville co-coach Dave Greening was delighted with the opening day win.

“We had a game plan to nullify their strengths and expose their weaknesses and the boys carried it out to a tee,” he said.

State 5 rivals Aspendale Stingrays lost 2-1 away to Old Mentonians on Saturday.

The visitors led at half-time thanks to a Peter Dimopoulos goal but Old Mentonians scored twice in the second half through Bannesh Krishnan (61st minute) and Chris Gibson (65th) to take all three points.

Aspendale’s best were Brandon De Baize, Kieran Hughes and Jack Lindsay.

This weekend’s league games: SATURDAY, 3pm: Langwarrin v Box Hill Utd (Lawton Park), Calder Utd v Southern Utd (Keilor Park Recreation Reserve), Doveton v Mornington (Waratah Reserve), Peninsula Strikers v Berwick City (Centenary Park), Frankston Pines v Bayside Argonauts (Monterey Reserve), Baxter v Dandenong South (Baxter Park), Seaford Utd v Rowville Eagles (North Seaford Reserve), Rosebud v Tullamarine (Olympic Park), Somerville Eagles v Knox Utd (Tyabb Central Recreation Reserve), Pakenham Utd v Aspendale Stingrays (IYU Recreation Reserve).

Shelley shows her dee-termination

On the ball: Shelley Heath, at front, playing against Adelaide on 16 March. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By Cameron McCullough MORNINGTON’S Shelley Heath made her debut for Melbourne Football Club’s AFLW team on 9 March.

The 18-year-old, who finished school last year after attending Mornington Secondary College, was drafted

by Melbourne in October.

“We were surprised and thrilled that Shelley was drafted,” said mum Gill Heath.

That was the beginning of a lot of hard work and training that culminated in the start against the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium.

Shelley’s winning spirit has followed her through life. An Australian Taekwondo champion at age eight, she grabbed the opportunity to play Australian Rules Football with both hands.

Rising through the ranks of local football playing with Mt Martha and Dromana, Shelley went on to play for the Dandenong Stingrays and from there progressed to playing VFLW for Southern Saints.

In October last year, she was drafted as Melbourne’s fourth round pick and a new opportunity opened up for Shelley.

Melbourne Football Club described her as “one of the smallest players in the draft, but also one of the strongest.”

“With her mix of competitiveness, speed and endurance, Shelley has the ability to develop into multiple roles such as a pressure forward, outside winger or lock down defender.”

Shelley has a reputation as a strong tackler that has little difficulty in taking her opponents to ground.

Her first game was a victory by a point. And although her second match against Adelaide was a loss, Shelley is looking forward to getting back out on the ground next year for Melbourne.

In the meantime, Shelley is looking forward to playing the coming VFLW season with Casey Demons and working on her game.

“I am really excited about the journey so far.” said Shelley.

“I have really enjoyed the experience, and can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

One thing is for sure, Shelley will continue to fly the flag for both women’s football, and the Mornington Peninsula, for years to come.

Self Sense crowned Cup champion

By Ben Triandafillou MORNINGTON-based trainers made the Mornington Cup day their own on Saturday 23 March, claiming both of the day’s feature races, the Mornington Cup and the Hareeba Stakes, as well as winning four of the nine races on the day.

The David Brideoake-trained stayer and talented jumper, Self Sense, continued his exceptional form on the flat with a victory in the day’s highlight, the $350,000 Mornington Cup, just six days after landing the Yarra Valley Cup. Self Sense ($12) settled midfield and moved into the race boldly under jockey Luke Nolen approaching the home turn before fending off the persistent challenge of Tarquin ($13) up the straight to win by a short head.

The victory came with a slight delay with Fred Kersley, rider of runnerup Tarquin, lodging a protest claiming Self Sense had caused interference to his mount around the home turn.

However, stewards quickly dismissed his objection and Self Sense was crowned the Mornington Cup champion for 2019.

The eight-year-old gelding took

Cup’s champ: The David Brideoaketrained Self Sense turns and leads for home in the 2019 Mornington Cup. Picture: Sam Triandafillou

his prizemoney past the $1.4 million mark and will reap the benefit of his Cup victory by gaining ballot-free exemption into next season’s Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m) in October.

“What a day,” Brideoake said.

“This is his third run in the [Mornington] Cup and he’s run really good races but has had no luck - that’s outstanding, what a great animal.

“He just loomed and he’s just a very big, powerful horse now. I thought

Luke [Nolen] just did a great job on him.

“It’s terribly exciting, it just doesn’t get any better than this at all.”

Just moments after Self Sense’s Cup victory, another Morningtonbased runner, Streets of Avalon, claimed the day’s other Listed race, the $200,000 Hareeba Stakes for trainer Shane Nichols.

Apprentice Zac Spain confidently sent Streets of Avalon ($5 favourite)

into the lead upon straightening and quickly opened up a winning break, with topweight Bons Away ($6.50) hitting the line hardest of all to claim second after starting from the outside barrier.

The victory clearly meant a lot to an emotional Shane Nichols.

“To win the Hareeba [Stakes] at our home track of Mornington, you’ve got to be really chuffed about that,” Nichols said.

“He’s won five races and half of a million dollars now, and the great thing is he could keep lifting the bar.

“The staff need to be congratulated for that because he’s had a long prep and it doesn’t happen easily.”

Nichols trained two winners for the day, with Tahitian Dancer also successful first-up over 1200 metres earlier in the day.

“We retired I Am A Star last night so it’s great to have a double today,” Nichols added.

His sensational mare, I Am A Star, accumulated more than $1.5 million from 31 starts and recorded 10 victories across her three-year career.

I Am A Star retired as a three-time Group 3 winner, five-time Group Two winner and most importantly Shane Nichols’ first Group 1 winner, thanks to her heroics in the 2016 Group One Myer Classic.

Mornington-based jockey Clayton Douglas also had a day out at Mornington riding two winners at his home track. They were Tahitian Dance in the fourth race, and Steel Prince in the sixth race for Mornington-based trainer Anthony Freedman.
