RECYCLED material collected by Mornington Peninsula Shire is set to resume being “processed” instead of being taken to landfill. Bans on the shire’s recycling processor SKM were lifted late last month and infrastructure services executive manager Jessica Wingad was late last week hoping to have “an update and timeframe for when our recycling will start to be processed again in the coming days”. “Once our recycling processing resumes, the shire will be able to confirm the total quantity of recyclable material sent to landfill as a result of the shutdown,” she said. The recycling processor was unable to take waste from the shire because of dangerous stockpiling in the wake of China’s refusal to take more waste plastic from Australia. However, the announcement of SKM returning to normal services comes at the same time that India has banned waste from Australia. India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia helped reduce the impact of China’s ban by accepting more of Australia’s recyclable rubbish. Further problems in dealing with recyclables are now likely with India’s decision, and Malaysia and Thailand saying they won’t take plastic waste imports by 2021. These changes by Asian nations puts further pressure on Australian governments to process recyclables onshore. Meanwhile, the mayor David Gill wants peninsula residents to join a campaign to reduce e-waste. The statewide campaign by Sus-

tainability Victoria is aimed at reducing the amount of electronic waste (e-waste) being sent to landfill. From 1 July 2019, all e-waste must be taken to dedicated drop off centres. E-waste - defined as being any item with a plug, battery or cord - is the fastest-growing category of waste worldwide. More than one million mobile phones and 16 million TVs are discarded in Australia every year. It is estimated that just for televisions and computers, the amount of e-waste generated in Australia will grow from around 138,000 tonnes in 2012-13 to 223,000 tonnes in 2023-24. “With today’s unprecedented pace in technology upgrades, we are unfortunately living in an increasingly disposable age where even large ticket electrical items are discarded with far greater frequency than a generation ago,” Cr Gill said. “This reduced product life span and our tendency to either hoard or throw out these products with the regular rubbish, is having a devastating impact on landfill.” Cr Gill said many e-waste items contain hazardous ingredients such as lead, mercury, phosphor, arsenic, fluids and refrigerants. “If disposed of inappropriately, these materials can leach into groundwater and soil, or release into the air, creating long term contamination issues and human health issues,” he said. Materials such as copper, silver palladium and gold could be recovered. “In fact, 90 per cent of e-waste is recyclable, it just has to be taken to the right place.” For details of the nearest drop off centre for e-waste go to ewaste.vic. gov.au or contact the shire.

Rain a blow to beach water quality FIVE of the Mornington Peninsula’s Port Phillip beaches are ranked in the top 10 for water quality by Environment Protection Authority Victoria. Top of the 36-beach list for having the best water quality over summer was Santa Casa, followed closely by Easter, The Dell and Portarlington – all beaches on the Bellarine peninsula. Portsea and Rosebud came in at equal five, up from eight the previous summer. Overall, water quality at the bay’s beaches was rated good throughout summer, except after large rain events which produced days when swimming should not take place. Brighton came in as the worst of 36 bay beaches checked by the EPA. The beach was adversely affected after a sewage leak in a nearby street which triggered poor water quality for seven days in a row. The EPA’s chief environmental scientist Dr Andrea Hinwood said water quality was “fairly even across locations”. “Whatever contaminants wash off the streets of Melbourne in a rain storm wind up in the bay, bringing with them the risks of infections, stomach upsets and skin irritation,” she said. Contaminants washing into the bay included animal droppings, litter, plastics, cigarette butts and detergents. “There are several things you can do about that: don’t litter, be careful what you allow to wash into the gutters and stormwater drains in your street and check the Yarra and Bay website before you hit the beach,” Dr Hinwood said. One other common cause of poor water quality is algae, which occurs naturally in the bay and varies according to conditions. “We advise people to avoid swimming near stormwater or river outlets for 24 to 48 hours after heavy rain, because that’s when animal droppings and other contaminants are washed into the bay from beaches and streets,” Dr Hinwood said.

WHILE sometimes it doesn’t always appear to be a place for a leisurely swim, Safety Beach is in the top 10 beaches on Port Phillip for having good quality water over the past summer.

Ranked 10th on the EPA’s water quality list (with last summer’s ranking in brackets) were Carrum (19), Mt Martha (11) and Safety Beach, 10 (5). Other rankings were Sorrento 15 (5); Dromana 16 (8); Blairgowrie 17 (11); Canadian Bay 18 (19); Rye 18 (17); Frankston near the lifesaving

PET registration renewals for cats and dogs on the Mornington Peninsula are due by Wednesday 10 April. Mornington Peninsula Shire says registration fees pay for “services to support pet owners”, such as: Off-leash dog areas located around for residents to train, exercise and play with their dogs. To learn where the closest off-leash area is to you visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/leashfree. The Community Animal Shelter and Pound which cares for lost pets and finds new homes for unclaimed cats and dogs. If you are in a situation where your cat or dog is missing, visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/lostpets to see if a ranger has picked up a pet. Local laws rangers responding to dog attacks and nuisance complaints. The shire says dogs and cats that are registered and microchipped also have a greater chance of being reunited with their families quickly and safely if they get lost or go astray. The Domestic Animals Act 1994 directs that all cats and dogs over the age of three months must be microchipped and registered with the Shire. Cats must be desexed to be registered within the shire unless the cat and owner are a member of the Feline Control Council. It costs $41.50 a year to register a desexed dog and cat. Discounts apply for pension card holders. The fine for not registering your dog or cat with the shire is $322. For first time animal registrations, once registration fees have been paid, pet owners are issued with a lifetime identification disc to attach to the pet's collar. Dog or cat owners should notify the shire of any change of address or if pet no longer lives with them or is dead at mornpen.vic.gov.au/ animalchanges or by calling 1300 850 600. To change a pet’s microchip details visit car. com.au/updating-registry-records Pet renewals can be done online, over the phone and in person. Details mornpen.vic.gov. au/petregistration.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2019

Candidates all aboard to oppose gas plan Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE Save Westernport group has succeeded in getting most candidates for Flinders in the coming federal election to align themselves against plans for a floating gas terminal at Crib Point. Independent Julia Banks – elected as a Liberal to the seat of Chisholm at the 2016 federal election – says she will table a petition next “to stop this development and to protect the Western Port (Crib Point) site”. In a news release, Ms Banks said plans by power company AGL to process liquified natural gas “will mean the discharge into the sea of vast amounts of chilled chlorinated water - the equivalent of 180 Olympic swimming pools a day”. A 55-kilometre-long pipeline to carry it to Pakenham “would cut through internationally significant wetlands and private properties. This project has the potential to cause air, light, noise and water pollution, present fire hazards and risk marine life and aquaculture”. Three other candidates for Flinders, sitting MP and Ms Banks’s former Liberal colleague, Greg Hunt, Labor’s Joshua Sinclair and independent Susie Beveridge, a former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor, have also said they are opposed to AGL’s plans. In July last year Mr Hunt said he had “long argued that South Port [sic] is not the place for industrial development and my view hasn’t changed in a decade. This includes the AGL proposal for a floating storage regasification unit at Crib Point” (“Libs ‘united’

against gas plan” The News 10/7/18). Mr Hunt’s statement came one day short of four months since he was first asked by The News if he opposed AGL’s proposal, which involves mooring a 300-metre-long liquid to gas processing plant at Crib Point’s number two berth. Labor candidate for Flinders Joshua Sinclair, said he had been “advised” that no decision would be made on AGL until the completion of an environmental effects statement due in Sepetember. “Like my community, I oppose the proposed gas project at Crib Point,” Mr Sinclair said. “Over the past few months I have listened to the concerns of locals and I have worked hard to convey these concerns to the relevant state ministers as well as federal Labor’s shadow minister for the environment.” While pointing out that the Victorian Government was “the decision maker” Mr Sinclair committed to “being a strong voice for my community on this issue while we patiently await the outcome of this rigorous process”. Ms Beveridge, who announced her federal election bid last week, has been quick to emphasise that her sympathies are with the anti-AGL campaigners, citing the council’s role in stopping a bitumen plant “slated for Crib Point” “For me, [the fight to stop AGL] is history repeating. The EES for the channel deepening project in Port Phillip was deeply flawed, and we fought hard to stop works at the Rip, which altered the hydrology of the Heads, our protection against climate change,” she said. While not addressing the issue directly, the Australian Greens candidate

for Flinders, Nathan Lesslie, said that “without the environment, no other life can exist. Therefore, the environment should in my opinion be considered the most precious of all things”.

“If you believe in 98 per cent of climate scientists, we need to take this incredibly seriously and have bi-partisan agreement which offers security to the private sector to then invest in renewable energy.”

Union leaders out against Hunt THE Victorian Trades Hall Council has announced it will specifically target Flinders MP Greg Hunt in the May federal election. Phone callers and door knockers will play on Mr Hunt’s role in the overthrow last year of then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that led to Scott Morrison taking over leadership of the Liberal National government. Health Minister Mr Hunt sought to be deputy leader in the failed leadership bid by Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton. The union umbrella group THC will also target Mr Hunt’s Liberal colleague, Chris Crewther in neighbouring Dunkley. The involvement of Trades Hall comes weeks after left wing lobby group GretUp! Also announced its intention to unseat Mr Hunt, citing his lack of action in dealing with climate change. Mr Hunt denies the claims (“Hunt a GetUp! ‘target’ in federal poll” The News 20/3/19). Flinders is seen as blue-ribbon Liberal territory - held by Mr Hunt since 2001 - and is being also being contested by high profile, former Liberal Julia Banks, former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Susie Beveridge, Labor’s Joshua Sinclair (campaign manager for Chris Brayne who won the “safe” Liberal state seat of Nepean for Labor last November) and the Australian Green, Nathan Lesslie. Labor is banking on Liberal voters still being angry over the way Mr Turnbull lost his job. Ms Banks has confirmed to The News that his son, Alex Turnbull, helped setting up some aspects of her campaign for Flinders. Keith Platt

Trainee takes path towards helping others Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A YOUNG Mornington woman who “always wanted to help people” is the first to enter a traineeship program at Mornington Peninsula CIU. Victoria Police launched the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander school-based traineeships in 2017 and the program is said to have “made great strides” since then. The program is designed for students completing years 10, 11 or 12 who are interested in a career with Victoria Police and is available at several police stations around the state. Ashcka Woods, 18, a Year 12 student at Mornington Secondary College, is completing the program as part of her Certificate III in Business. She is settling in at Somerville CIU, the first unit in the state to participate. “The program gives young people insights into the organisation and an opportunity to learn and work at a local police station before they can find an employment pathway for themselves,” Detective Senior Sergeant Miro Majstorovic said. Ashcka describes herself as a “caring person”. “Since growing up I have always wanted to help people,” she said. “Working as a police officer would suit me because it is not just working in an office behind a desk – there are many different roles in which I could make a difference to other people’s lives. “The program offers so many avenues and specialties which I am sure

More than a uniform job: Student Ashcka Woods, centre, settles into a day at Mornington Peninsula CIU with help from Naishadh Gadani, Lind Frew, Stephen McKenzie, Miro Majstorovic and Peter Drake. Picture: Yanni

I would find interesting, especially detective work.” Ashcka hopes to become a uniformed officer before deciding on a specific pathway as her career develops. She said she was “settling in and getting comfortable” at Somerville with small tasks and computer work that align with her course. Her main

goal is to finish school and complete a business diploma before becoming an officer and “sticking with it”. Ashcka said she was looking forward to working with another trainee at Frankston police station soon and, in July, doing a three-day live-in component at the Police Academy with 40 other trainees.

Naish Gadani, of Skills Invest, which is helping run the traineeship program through Jobs Victoria, said 45 students from across the state were participating, including 37 Aboriginals and eight from new and emerging and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. Some police stations have chosen to

host more than one student. “It’s really great to see young people in all areas getting access to work development opportunities with Victoria Police,” he said. Anyone interested in applying for the program can visit the Skills Invest website.

End of summer, The Pillars report THE popularity of The Pillars, a cliff jumping spot at Mt Martha, has led to the banning of alcohol, restricted car parking, dire warnings of death or injury and “the wall” – a fence to try and stop entry. Mornington Peninsula Shire, which has used its officers to book errant motorists and drones to count the number of people on the cliffs as well as paying for the hire of the fence, has called a public meeting for Wednesday 10 April to discuss a “permanent solution” to the problematic tourist attraction. The Pillars has also become a political issue with Labor’s candidate for Flinders Joshua Sinclair saying the 400 metre “temporary” fence should be replaced by a boardwalk (“Pillars a poll issue” The News 26/3/19). A shire news release states that the public meeting will enable residents to “hear about the measures undertaken over the 2018/19 summer period and provide feedback about your experiences about The Pillars during summer peak period”. “Council continues to work hard to protect the safety of people and the amenity of the area for our residents,” the mayor Cr David Gill said. “We look forward to meeting with the community to hear your concerns and to discuss the management of issues relating to usage of the site.” As with most ward-related news releases each of the three Briars ward councillors are also quoted. Cr Bev Colomb: “We thank every-

one for engaging with us on this often difficult matter as we all try to work toward protecting this unique environment and manage all the issues.” Cr Sam Hearn: “Council is aware of issues local residents face regarding The Pillars, especially during the warmer months. This will be a great opportunity to talk about how we are working towards solving these issues.” Cr Rosie Clark: “This project has been shaped by the community voicing their concerns about inappropriate behaviour at The Pillars. We look forward to continuing our efforts with the community and relevant stakeholders to push for the area to be made safer and be more respected.” Views or issues about The Pillars can be lodged online at mornpen.vic. gov.au/thepillars. The public meeting will be held 5.30pm-6.30pm at the council chambers, 2 Queen Street, Mornington. Keith Platt

Bringing cancer treatment ‘closer to home’ CANCER patients could be treated in Mornington within two years. The federal government has allocated $10 million in this week’s budget for a cancer treatment centre to be built at The Bay Hospital. The hospital’s CEO Elena Allen on Friday was “fully optimistic” the new centre could up and running in 18 months to two years if the hospital could raise another $10 million. “I’m thrilled about members of the Mornington Peninsula being able to be treated close to home,” she said. In 2016, 17,470 people living in the Frankston and on the peninsula were treated for a cancer or haematology diagnosis. By 2032, that number is expected to increase to 29,029. Ms Allen said there was already an oncology service at Beleura Private Hospital in Mornington “but what

Shire Council and football clubs “will also contribute a similar amount for a full redevelopment of the current pavilion at Alexandra Park”. He said the pavilion project would include a rehabilitation centre; promote healthy living, wellness and lifestyle choices; provide access to orthopaedic surgeons, sports specialists and allied health professionals; offer opportunities to partner with Peninsula Health in the provision of health and wellness programs; and increased community utilisation of the redeveloped facility. The federal government has previously said money would also go to Rosebud Hospital “for trials to treat cancer and rare diseases closer to home”. Keith Platt

we’re planning is a comprehensive centre, a one-stop shop” that would offer patients surgery, treatment, “recovery and palliation”. The new centre would bring together all services already available at The bays, including breast and prostate cancer support nurses. “We will work with services already available on the peninsula, including opportunities to work with Peninsula Health,” Ms Allen said. Flinders MP and Health Minister Greg Hunt was at The Bays to announce the government’s budget inclusion along with $2.6 million for redeveloping the pavilion at Alexandra Park in main Street, Mornington “for rehabilitation services and new community-focused health and wellbeing programs”. Mr Hunt said Mornington Peninsula

Expert called in to help with pool AN industry expert will be brought in to help manage the lead up, as well as after, the opening of the Rosebud Aquatic Centre. The five-year fee-for-service management model adopted by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council at is meeting on Tuesday 12 March includes up to 12 months’ pre-opening planning for the $41 million pool complex which is expected to open in September 2020. Under the model the council will retain control of business functions, such as asset management, utilities, maintenance, fees and charges, while the centre manager will provide input on key decisions and oversee the pool’s day-to-day operations.

The mayor Cr David Gill said the management model was regarded as being the best option for the community. “We’re bringing in industry experts to work together with council during the planning phase and initial years of operation,” he said. “We want to make sure this new facility delivers a high-quality service for our community”. Cr Antonella Celi said making the decision early would allow the council to work with the successful manager before, and after, the centre opens. This would ensure alignment with the Council Plan and Health and Wellbeing strategy, she said.

Budget holds $32m for Peninsula Health partners Brodie Cowburn brodie@mornpenews.com.au THE Future Health Hub partnership between Peninsula Health and Monash University has received a shot in the arm from the federal government, with Dunkley MP Chris Crewther and Health Minister Greg Hunt jointly announcing $32 million for the aged care and mental health project. The budget boost for the partnership was announced alongside a $10 million injection into the paediatric

emergency centre at Frankston Hospital. The Health Futures Hub project has received bipartisan support from both major federal parties. Mr Hunt said “this funding will help deliver new research and treatment programs for our elderly and those with addiction and mental health issues, backed by new state of the art physical and data infrastructure at Frankston Hospital and the neighbouring Monash Peninsula campus for the Health Futures Hub. “This will mean that the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston com-

munities will see the direct benefit from research that is undertaken in their community, for their community.” Mr Crewther said “in the last five years emergency department presentations to the Frankston emergency department have grown by over 20 per cent.” “Providing a dedicated emergency department for children will enable the emotional needs of sick and injured children to be met and ensures they are protected from the stressful situations that occur in emergency departments.

“This investment will improve the emergency department experience of children and their families, improve waiting times and ensure that children receive high quality care in the right place at the right time.” Frankston mayor Cr Michael O’Reilly said “improving the availability and accessibility of facilities and programs to support mental health and drug and alcohol dependent clients in the region is a priority of council and local organisations including Peninsula Health, Monash University Peninsula Campus, and Frankston Private Hospital.”

“We continue to work closely with these key organisations and all levels of government to ensure the provision of services and programs meet the future needs of the community. Council thanks the Federal Government and Federal Opposition for their commitment towards delivering this ground-breaking service.” Dunkley Labor candidate Peta Murphy promised $21 million towards the partnership if Labor wins government at the May election.

THE real estate agent’s waiver said it all: “Please note this is a working fire station at the moment. Inspections may be cancelled at short notice.” And so, forewarned, potential buyers of the old Crib Point fire station in Disney Street, pictured, are making their inspections before it goes to auction for the first time in 50 years on Saturday 13 April. Harcourts Jason Dowler said the 770 square metre residential zone block offered a “multitude of options”. It has shedding for up to five vehicles, a main building and smaller shed, kitchen and meeting room and bathroom facilities, and a pergola area overlooking a pleasant rear yard. The property will be sold with vacant possession after the station moves on, offering the buyer the potential to develop the existing shedding or develop the land, subjection to council approvals, and other uses. “This could be your dream come true or the opportunity you have been waiting for, with such a fantastic location, a generous allotment and residential zoning this property offers prime potential,” Mr Dowler said.

Easing the way to end of life’s ‘journey’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A MORNINGTON aged care worker’s role in improving dying residents’ quality of life has been recognised with an excellence in age services award. Clinical care coordinator Ryan Rodrigues’ End of Life Trajectory Planning tool has been so successful at Craig Care, Mornington that it helped him win the 2019 individual award at leading age services Australia. It now features in all seven of the aged care providers’ centres. While Mr Rodrigues’ core work duties are similar to others in his role – such as managing the aged care accreditation process and legislative requirements for clinical compliance, best practice in clinical care and quality of life – his “passion for developing the tool over two years, often in his own time, set him apart”, Craig Care Mornington CSO Leisa Thissen said. Mr Rodrigues has “stepped up as a future leader to help improve the system and quality of life for residents,” she said. “His innovative approach means residents are cared for well beyond their clinical nursing needs. He also cares for their emotional and spiritual well-being to ensure best possible quality of life up until death.” Mr Rodrigues said he developed the End of Life Trajectory tool after identifying that, while the end stage palliative care his clients were receiving was excellent, the “early identifi-

Life and death: Clinical care coordinator Ryan Rodrigues with his End of Life Trajectory Planning tool. Picture: Yanni

cation of residents moving throughout the palliative trajectory was lacking”. The tool provides clinicians with clear directives in planning care strategies supporting residents along their palliative trajectory. “Nursing staff often focus on improving clinical outcomes, whereas this may not be the focus of the resident due to their palliative trajectory,” he said. The catalyst for developing the tool was an everyday work event which “kicked his passion to help residents ‘live their life their way’ into overdrive”, Ms Thissen said. A new resident – Mr A – arrived with “multiple comorbidities” (two or more medical conditions or diseases on top of an initial diagnosis) as well as “significant wounds to both legs”. He was a smoker, used to living alone, who enjoyed making his own choices. Mr Rodrigues focused on healing the wounds while urging Mr A to stop smoking. He devised a stringent wound management and healthy living regime aimed at making Mr A more comfortable. But Mr A kept smoking, which made his wounds worse and less receptive to healing. Despite his best efforts, Mr Rodrigues was having little success in persuading his patient to comply with the clinical care. That all changed after an open conversation between the pair. Mr Rodrigues began to realise that by focusing on healing the wounds, he was overlooking the bigger picture: Mr A would die before they ever healed. That realisation changed his approach, and Mr Rodrigues began de-

veloping a tool to help predetermine end of life as a contributor to planning care. It would aim to meet realistic medical needs, maintain comfort, control pain, provide spiritual and emotional support, and determine the best lifestyle until death. He spent time at work and at home developing the EOL trajectory tool which predetermines the time before death is imminent. Staff can then plan appropriate care, prepare the residents and next-of-kin, and provide emotional support and choices prior to death. “Up until death, our residents continue to live the life they choose and participate in activities they love,” Mr Rodrigues said. When another client of Mr Rodrigues stopped eating and was sleeping more after a series of strokes the doctor, staff and his wife were prepared for his death with the help of the EOL tool. However, up to 20 relatives and siblings came to be with the man, forcing an obliging Mr Rodrigues to meet with them and address their concerns. Mr Rodrigues “helped the family turn the resident’s end of life from sadness and anger to joy and celebration”, Ms Thissen said. “The resident’s last days were spent with family by his side all participating in singalongs and storytelling of his wonderful life.” In following weeks many of the man’s family thanked management saying they were grateful for Mr Rodrigues’ time and support. He had cared for this man “as if he was part of his own family”.

Mynas are no minor problem in the wild By Barry Morris

TWO men are waging war against Indian myna birds, sometimes called flying rats and cane toads of the sky, which they say are a scourge on the Australian landscape. Peter Wiltshire, senior ranger at Darebin Parklands where he has spent 33 years, and Michael Mann, a volunteer and a member of the parkland’s friends group, are dedicated to spreading the message of the harm the bird is causing. They have spent years trying to rid Darebin Parklands of the Indian myna which drove the eastern rosella from the urban park. Mr Mann now lives at Hastings. His main involvement in the project is making nest boxes, trying to design myna-proof boxes, filming the pests’ behavior and trapping them. The pair recently made a presentation to the Southern Peninsula Flora and Fauna Association (SPIFFA). After the presentation, they made available a document detailing their early work in Darebin. In the document, Mr Wiltshire said he was always aware of the Indian myna scourge dominating the suburbs and fringes of Melbourne. As a result, he opposed unmonitored nest boxes in the urban setting which only encouraged the pests. But he wondered if the Indian myna was a factor in changes to the ecology and, as an individual species, had the ability to dominate and totally destroy bird ecology in the urban setting. “The difficulty in controlling this pest is huge,” Mr Wiltshire said.

while most barriers deterred rosellas. “We still haven’t given up on finding a myna-proof nest box, but it looks like whatever native birds can get into, mynas will persist until they can get in too,” Mr Wiltshire said. “We were working on the theory that parrots can crawl, even upside down, but mynas have to hop.” Mr Wiltshire said their observations had not been scientifically tested, researched or literature-reviewed but they believed their observations were significant and up-to-date evidence of what they had witnessed. In two years the men removed more than 800 mynas from the park and their absence, in large flocks, had been noticeable. Today Indian mynas are no longer a regular sight at the park with local residents up to 500m away observing a decline around their houses and streets. There are still mynas around but in much lower numbers and densities. Returning to the park are eastern rosellas, musk lorikeets, red rumped parrots, Australian noisy miners, pied currawongs, little ravens, kookaburras, mudlarks, crested pigeons and magpies. Returning species also include black faced cuckoo shrikes, sacred kingfishers, bronze winged pigeons and reed warblers. Willy wagtails, grey fantails, bell miners, brown goshawks, tawny frogmouths, red wattle birds and superb wrens seem to be at static numbers as before the myna program started. Some small native woodland species seem to have declined or disappeared

Eastern rosellas raised two chicks but mynas attacked the parents trying to feed their chicks. Two chicks were found dead on the ground. “As if to rub our noses into it, the mynas established their own nest where the rosellas had been,” Mr Wiltshire said. Then in 2014, the two men had better luck. For the first time, rosellas raised three chicks in one of their nest boxes. The trapping program was working well with a daily yield of mynas being trapped, then humanely destroyed. “We generally had the support of the public although some trapped mynas had been released by some people who must have taken pity on seeing the birds in the trap,” Mr Wiltshire said. “Although annoyed at the time, we understood that people still dislike seeing animals trapped and felt passionate enough to release them. “But this meant that we needed to add signage and be more discreet where the traps could be placed.” Also, it became apparent to the pair that mynas were much smarter and resourceful than they had anticipated. It reached a stage where the mynas could negotiate barriers on rosella boxes, but the rosellas could not work out how to get in. So Mr Mann set up security cameras on nest boxes to see how the barriers were being breached and to record general bird behaviour. Footage showed mynas were quick to learn and any external barriers installed did not deter them. They quickly worked out how to beat them,

“It is a smart, tenacious species that is very territorial and vicious to all birds and animals it sees as a threat. “It carries mites and disease that can affect our native bird population. “Trapping them is easy. It’s the euthanising that puts people off.” Mr Wiltshire’s interest was aroused in 2010 when he saw an eastern rosella flying through the park and realised he hadn’t seen the species for more than 15 years. The rosellas had disappeared from the park and Indian mynas had taken over. One problem was tractors mowing grass in the park. Mynas followed the tractors, feeding on exposed insects and skinks, in growing numbers. “The objective was quite simple – trap Indian mynas and install nest boxes to encourage eastern rosellas back to Darebin Parklands,” Mr Wiltshire said. Mr Mann started setting myna traps at various locations in the park and building nest boxes with barriers to prevent mynas easy access. In 2012, the two men monitored the nesting boxes and were delighted when eastern rosellas began using them. But their delight turned to horror when mynas invaded one of the boxes and they found two dead newlyhatched eastern rosella chicks at the base of the tree. “We didn’t actually see the mynas doing the crime, but you didn’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that these pesky birds were the culprits,” Mr Wiltshire said. In 2013, the same thing happened.

with the mynas, including red brow fire tails, white plumed honey eaters, new Holland honey eaters, spotted pardalotes and silver eyes. “Why this is needs further study, but a quick analysis would be that the change of bird ecology and the increase in the likes of ravens and currawongs might have shifted the balance towards more robust species,” Mr Wiltshire said. Is there a solution to the Indian myna problem? “Ideally, a biological control would best suit Australia but, with our track record, I doubt that can happen in time or effectively,” Mr Wiltshire said. “I am glad to see some local governments recognising them as a problem in Australia and hope a holistic approach someday can be undertaken to encourage people to take action against this pest.“ Southwest Mornington Peninsula Landcare Group has an Indian myna trapping program running, supporting landholders to help control the pests on their land. The group provides information on how to build a trap, how to conduct a successful trapping program and stateapproved techniques for humanely euthanising birds. Traps are available to the public from the Main Ridge and Mornington men’s sheds for a donation and participants are asked to commit to an animal welfare protocol to ensure they use humane methods of control:S www.landcarevic.org.au/groups/ portphillipwesternport/southwest-peninsula/indian-myna-trapping-project/

Mornington optometrist receives national 'Store of the Year' award to providing a fantastic customer experience, through a strong team spirit and culture. The judging criteria was based on the store’s consistent approach to delivering quality eye care and eye wear, a strong focus on education, training and culture; and positive customer feedback. Specsavers Mornington Optometrist Partner Bernard Chung and Retail Partner Helen Chung were presented both awards by Specsavers Joint Group CEO John Perkins and Managing Director Nigel Perkins.

Schools’ day out for the environment

Hundreds of Mornington Peninsula schoolchildren were last week taking in the environment message as relayed by such presenters as Lionel Lauch, above. Ivy, Lily and Jaeda, top left, from Osborne Primary School, showed their “bug hotels”, while Kyren, right, had his hands full with worms. Jackson, Grace, Max, Jay, Cioper, Kaylah from Benton Junior College, Mornington, were busy discovering how big things can grow from a seedling. Pictures: Yanni

ENVIRONMENT Week at The Briars historic property, Mt Martha included activities and half-day programs for students in years 1-6. Schools could choose Engaging with Nature, Indigenous Connection to Country, Homestead Heritage and Sustainable Living with children exploring two areas in their chosen program. In Engaging with Nature, students took part in weaving and visited the Briars Nature Nook to check for birds, bats and wildlife in the nesting boxes, as well as read interpretative signs. On the wetlands boardwalk they stopped to explore the sounds, plants and animals, and observed and sketched birds with Birdlife Mornington Peninsula. Some got close to emus and wallabies. Local leaders explained Aboriginal culture while the students tasted bush tucker and gained insights into bush craft, language and community. Indigenous man Lionel Lauch shared his knowledge of food and fibre plants and wetlands flora. He led the children through the wetlands, while explaining how the plants are harvested and used for food, medicine and utensils. The Briars Homestead was home to the Balcombe family from 1846-1976 and students saw how life was then and now. They were shown how the family thrived in an isolated colony where “reduce, reuse and recycle” were commonplace. They visited the heritage vegetable garden to see pumpkins, carrots and strawberries grown organically then and now. Years 3-6 students explored the Eco Living Display Centre and learned about “living green”. They saw first-hand how they can reduce waste at home and learn about decomposition, and investigated what things can influence energy efficiency. Monash Prime Science Team hosted hands-on science activities to create and measure energy.

THE children of St Macartan’s Parish Primary School began celebrating Harmony Day on 21 March with a fashion parade followed by activities that explored the cultural diversity of Australia. Many children discovered their own cultural backgrounds over Harmony Week through questioning and discussion with their families. Harmony Day is a government initiative tagged with the key words “Everyone Belongs.” It is a day where Australia’s successful multicultural society is celebrated throughout the country. There are over 300 ancestries found here and since 1945 more than 7.5 million people have migrated to Australia. Harmony Day promotes racial tolerance, inclusiveness, respect and acceptance.

ON THE COVER

RUSTIC AND CHARMING HIDEAWAY FOR THE FAMILY TO CHERISH THIS enchanting mud brick beauty presents a golden opportunity to buy into the magnificent peninsula tree-change lifestyle where sweeping views across the countryside are yours to enjoy forever. Paddocks, ponds and a natural bush setting frame this relaxing oasis that is privately set down a long driveway that culminates at a large four-car garage. The superb 1.90 hectare block encompasses wetlands, four paddocks and a small dam, whilst the rustic main home is resplendent with native timbers used to tremendous effect throughout the home, particularly the striking vaulted ceilings. Entry is to the main lounge with tiled floors, air-conditioning and a wood heater. Two bedrooms with built-in robes that also share the main bathroom are in this east wing, as is the separate laundry. The splendid family zone is where all the fun happens with timber bi-fold doors and gas strut servery windows gliding and lifting their way in stunning fashion to connect this area with the fantastic full-length verandah that looks across to the salt-chlorinated and solar-heated lap pool. The grand country-style kitchen features solid timber benchtops and stainless steel appliances including a 900 millimetre freestanding cooker with a ceramic hob and overlooks the adjoining dining and living spaces where an open fireplace adds enduring ambience during the colder months. There is also air-conditioning to this end of the home and the master suite in the east wing has a large walk-in robe and ensuite with spa. The property does lend itself towards keeping a small amount of livestock; the paddocks are well-fenced and there is room to house feed and machinery in the shed complex, which continues to add that extra dimension to the property by also providing a fantastic games room and bar where you can sit outside with a tranquil ale enjoying the still countryside atmosphere.n

LETTERS Need to improve I would like to congratulate [Labor’s] Chris Brayne on his election as the MP Nepean in the last state election. He seems to be genuinely trying to engage with groups and individuals rather than self-promoting. At this stage I’m cynical and think he has missed the real issues. Moving and multiplying emissions from a Jetty Road intersection to another a Boneo Road intersection is one example of this thinking – it doesn’t improve our personal or environmental well-being. The same with the prison bars which are being set up all over our roads and buildings (“Shire’s mania for fences rivals Trump” Letters 23/1/19). Building public light rail would be more intelligent than buses in the long term. Another example of the business-as-usual mentality is the serious lack of diversity in his public presentations. Still we see all the men in suits and hear the same old narrow or reactive talk. We need everyone pulling together and addressing the climate emergency, not still showcasing the old political, legal and business fossils. We need to improve our ecological perspective by extending the natural corridors, nature reserves and home gardens and strengthening our own weak Mornington Peninsula Shire planning regulations. Save money and emissions too by closing down the shire’s Melbourne office. Second, we need to build our education, emergency, social, food and repair networks in the shire’s 40 villages. We need this plan to be founded on inclusiveness, diversity, knowledge and ethics. The internet and the mobile phones dismember information and society and fail to inform, educate or train people in fundamentals, such as the grade 3 water cycle. If we don’t have a healthy water cycle – founded on bacteria, fungi and vegetation – we haven’t the essential nutrient, food, weather and climate systems for life. Kaye Mackay, Rye

Deceptive unionists When I heard that Julia Banks was going to run as an independent I sent her a congratulatory email. I have emailed several policy questions - did get the automatic reply but never an answer. I was told that my emails were trashed for being rude and when I questioned why they were rude they hung up. I realise that these emails were sent out from Victorian Ratepayers Action Group which, you thought, might have twigged her to be a bit more polite. I have no connections to any political party as I am and equal political party hater. We are tired of political games and misconduct of politicians and her rebuttal of Rod Kerley’s letter is not a message we want to hear (“Foot soldiers behind the lines” Letters 27/3/19). It breaks my heart to write this as I was hoping she would be the straw to break our current ineffective MP’s back. My friend recently attended our local member Greg Hunt’s ageing well forum at Rosebud RSL. However, I was frankly disgusted to hear about the actions taken by some out the front of the RSL in the lead up to the meeting. As my friend was walking in, she was approached on the steps by three people in t-shirts, asking if she thought aged care was important. Thinking they were part of the forum and not wanting to miss any speakers, she signed her name and moved on. She later discovered that these people had nothing to do with the forum but were in fact trade union activists. Thankfully, Greg advised the forum of this shameful deception. Now countless locals need to find out which union it was to get their name off this list. Anthea Mollison, Rye

Children detained I am writing in response to a comment made by [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt in his response to GetUp! campaigning in the electorate where he says that all children have now been removed from detention (“Hunt a GetUp1 ‘target’ in federal poll” The News 20/3/2019). It seems Greg Hunt likes to mislead the people in his electorate. While children may have been removed from Nauru, there are still children, including a very young baby, held in detention centres in Australia, even where they have family members living freely in the community. In addition, there are nearly 300 children in community detention with their families, where

Letters - 300 words maximum and including full name, address and contact number - can be sent to The News, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915 or emailed to: team@mpnews.com.au their movements are heavily restricted. Grandmothers Against Detention of Refugee Children are campaigning in Flinders to talk about the reality of children in detention and our message to Greg Hunt is that we will not rest until the federal government takes action so that there are really no children being held in any form of detention in or outside of Australia. Marg D’Arcy, Rye

Support for ‘Greg’ I am not or never have been a member of any political party. I vote at elections, not for what any politician promises (which they mostly break anyway) but for what they have done for their local constituents which we vote them in to do for us and what they do nationally. [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt has always been a good friend of the Flinders electorate, doing things for our benefit (sometimes not being able to get through parliament our special item that we think is vitally important) but, overall, his results are good. Greg’s major contribution has been as health minister where he has managed to get listed on the PBS some very expensive drugs (particularly for cancer sufferers) which, until recently, were out of the reach of many people owing to the costs, with some being up to $100,000 a year. I bet he did not have it easy getting it through his colleagues owing to the high cost. When you have been exposed to this hardship, as I have on several occasions, you get to see the other side of things. Our health system is there to help all of us lucky enough to have good health support those who do not. Remember to look at the big picture when you vote, not just on the one or two subjects that are your pet projects. That is what a democracy is all about. Think not just of yourself but for others around you not so fortunate. Barry Kirkpatrick, Mt Martha

Voting plea There are endless letters to this paper with endless points of view supporting various political parties in the forthcoming federal elections. Having just watched ABC’s Foreign Correspondent with its expose of One Nation’s engagement with the US gun control lobby in an attempt to weaken gun laws in Australia, I can only implore voters to reject politics of hate and refuse vote for any party which will not put One Nation last on the ticket. Wasn’t Christchurch enough? Have we forgotten Port Arthur? How many more people have to die before One Nation stops building a culture of fear and ceases lobbying for semi and automatic weapons. Mel Farnbach, Balnarring

would suggest they increase no less than 10 times the current number. Residents are disadvantaged by not being able to access parking near the bay due to the high number of tourists over peak periods. The area between Mordialloc and Port Melbourne is a fine example of councils having regard to parking facilities. Removing unwanted undergrowth and dead trees would add appeal and contribute to a safer foreshore in the event of fire. New parking facilities could be metered, with free passes to locals who pay rates. Michael Dale, Rosebud

Send protests Concerned Oakbank Road, Mornington residents, small, medium and large business owners, local councillors and many independent interested parties, stood up to voice their points of view about the proposed foreign investment grab of the Mornington Bata factory site, which is now mainly a shoe shop that is freehold owned industrially zoned land. For the first time we locals at the Mornington government hearing panel on 13,14 and 21 March, heard about the many issues at stake, such as intrusion of noise onto nearby residential neighbourhoods; increased freight truck movements on a poorly maintained rural side road putting the school buses and student pedestrians at further risk; the obscene eight metre high neon lighting on what was the visiting circus ground; and the environmental impact of loss of vegetation and green wedge views with carbon saturated concrete car parking to unbalance the neighbourhood character of the Mornington township approaches that most of us look forward to driving, cycling and walking pass. Please post in your David Morris MP petition card (Free Post) if you haven’t and contact your local Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors (Bev Columb, Sam Hearn and Rosie Clark) to further reinforce your concerns on such a disruptive and exploitative venture as the Bata sale to Kaufland’s stores. Ian Morrison, Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ & Residents’ Association and Guard Our Gateway action group

Firefighters thanked We’d like to acknowledge the wonderful work of the Red Hill CFA. Specifically, we thank all the volunteers for their countless efforts each and every day in keeping our community safe. To the firefighters who controlled the Bowrings Road fire, we thank you. The work you do for our community is incomprehensible and our community is so fortunate to have you. We’d like to further acknowledge Kylie Jeffrey for ensuring our horses were safe from danger and our neighbours for coming together at a time of need in order to make our homes safe. We are so very fortunate to live in a community with such compassion. Michelle-Ann Mitchell, Red Hill

Clearing the air The article regarding the Western Port Biosphere carried a small error, entirely the fault of the biosphere (“Changes to biosphere as Gill stands down from board” The News 19/3/19). Specifically, I had described new board member David Cross as the convenor of the Frankston Nature Conservation Reserve Guardians. While David has many years in active roles in conserving the Frankston environment, this is not one of them. He does chair the Frankston Environmental Friends network. So I got that one right. David has also been president of the Frankston High School Council and was Frankston’s Citizen of the Year in 2016. Also welcomed at the recent biosphere board meeting was new member [Frankston councillor] Quinn McCormack who, rather than David Cross, was the convenor of the Frankston Nature Conservation Reserve Guardians. Her knowledge of local government and skills as a lawyer will be very helpful as the biosphere delivers on its important work. The biosphere’s work of balancing conservation and development around the Western Port region will be greatly assisted through the addition of these two new board members. Greg Hunt, executive officer, Western Port Biosphere

Climate despairer I’ve noticed more letters coming in from climate change deniers still spouting figures from their guru of the day, be it Malcolm Roberts (drop out from Pauline Hanson’s One nation Party) or one of the scientists on the payroll of a mining company or other polluter. I prefer to believe the factual visions of icebergs melting, glaciers shrinking, global climatic chaos, rising sea levels causing inundation and the pitiful vision of a starving polar bear on a very small ice float. How dare all the deniers denigrate the schoolchildren for striking to defend their future, because we sure as hell aren’t. The kids should be commended for organising the world wide strike and some day in the near future will they have the vote. We have an environment minister and a science minister that totally ignore their own departmental advice. They both spruik what can only be best described as bovine faeces along with our coal-hugging temporary Prime Minister, Scott Morrison. The extreme right in the federal government is hell bent on more coal mines. I despair at the plight of our environment because we are being fed rubbish information by people who only care for today and to hell with future generations. John Cain, McCrae

More car parks It has become evident that works involving mulching, tree planting and strategically placed large rocks has commenced in this area. This has effectively reduced car parking spaces. With the Peninsula Link allowing a higher number of tourists to the area, one would assume that car parking facilities would increase, not decrease. I

Departure from Dolphins a ‘kick in the guts’ Brodie Cowburn brodie@mpnews.com.au

Moving on: Gary Buckenara and Peter Geddes had worked together to help bring the Frankston Dolphins back into the VFL. Buckenara’s departure was announced last week. Picture: Gary Sissons

FORMER general manager of the Frankston Football Club Gary Buckenara said he is “bitterly disappointed” at the club’s decision to let him go on the eve of the 2019 VFL season. Buckenara was appointed general manager of the Dolphins in January 2017, and helped guide the club back into the VFL after they had their license revoked in 2016. On 25 March it was announced that they had parted ways. Buckenara told The News he was “blindsided” by the decision. “It’s one of the biggest kicks in the guts I’ve ever had in footy. I thought I’d done a great job for them to help them get to a position where there was light at the end of the tunnel,” he said. “We were hosting more games, there were more dollars coming in. We were looking at plans to host AFLW games and JLT preseason games, we were also looking at getting into the VFLW space. There were some really good plans, there were more opportunities for the business to grow and with that I would have grown too. That’s why I’ve been so bitterly disappointed that they’ve made that decision and didn’t give me the opportunity to see through the plan. I had a vision of another five years there. I felt it was a rough decision not to let me see it through. “Over the last couple of years the club lost its license and that’s when I came in. The big focus was to start raising money and increase membership, and that’s what I’ve done for the

last two years. They’ve gone from 180 members to 1200 plus there’s been record sponsorship. I’ve been a part of lobbying to get broadcast quality lights and extra facilities, we’d got to a point now where there was some light at the end of the tunnel. I was blindsided myself when they said they wanted a different management style.” Buckenara said he feels it might be time to move on from football after the Dolphins decided his time was up. “To be honest you never say never, but I’d prefer my next role to not be in football. Basically with my experiences now of what the AFL system is like

and the type of people it attracts, it’s become a very selfish environment. I love the game, I’ve loved being part of it, and I think I’ve made a difference. The Dolphins are now in the process of appointing someone to the general manager role on an interim basis. Buckenara said he was told the club was looking for a more “analytical” approach to the role. “A general manager has to wear so many hats, it’s not just one job. My priority has been fundraising, sponsorship, increasing membership, and improving our perception with the community and the local clubs. I think I’ve

done a good job of that. I guess the club and the directors wanted something different.” Frankston Football Club president Peter Geddes acknowledged Buckenara as a “factor” in the club returning to the VFL for the 2018 season, but told The News “it was best for the club to continue in a different direction.” “Gary played a role in getting us back into the VFL, as did many people. We had a lot of people contribute,” he said. “We’re about halfway towards our objectives to make sure our club stays out of the hands of administra-

tors. That process doesn’t finish until 2020, so that’s been the compelling drive. That’s the significant factor in the decision to move in this certain direction.” The Dolphins’ season begins this Saturday at home against Essendon. Geddes said that the club is “comfortable” with the decision to part ways with Buckenara so close to the first game of the year. “I guess the timing is something you’re never really in control of, things were working out differently than we had hoped and we had to make a decision. The timing is matter of history, and we’re comfortable with the decision,” he said. “We have got a process in place and going forward. We’re comfortable we’ve got the system to maintain stability and steps forward in this difficult time. We’ve currently got people who have just stepped up and taken those roles but by end of this week we’ll have someone to take on an interim role as manager of the club. “On behalf of members, sponsors and stakeholders we would like to wish Gary all the best in his future endeavours.” The Dolphins’ season opener against Essendon will be played on 7 April at 2pm at Skybus Stadium.

Wonder walls: The Big Picture Fest saw artists use Frankston as their canvas. Pictures: Supplied

Big Picture Fest takes Frankston ‘by storm’ THE 2019 Big Picture Fest was heralded as a “great week” by Frankston mayor Cr Michael O’Reilly. The festival saw talented artist come to Frankston from overseas to put up massive, towering artworks. Local artists also expressed themselves by getting in on the action. “In my opinion, our street art now rivals that of any city,” Cr O’Reilly said. “We have a growing collection of urban and vibrant street art by renowned artists not only from around the world, but also from right here home grown in Frankston City. It was such a great week that culminated in an explosive weekend of street art and celebrations. Frankston City

is richer for it, having even more world class street art right here in our own city. “For the first time we saw groups of people, including camera clubs and photography meetups, exploring the laneways of Frankston’s city centre throughout the week as the artists created their masterpieces. The artists doing an impromptu painting in Stiebel Place during the Block Party was a hit. “It was great to see the heart of Frankston come to life during The Big Picture Fest and our Block Party.” He said the Big Picture Fest will attract people to Frankston for “years to come.”

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Shire to clamp down on overdue rates Compiled by Cameron McCullough THE sum outstanding in the Shire of Frankston and Hastings for arrears of rates totals something like £800. At last Thursday’s Council meeting it was decided to get this amount in without further loss of time. Defaulters are given 14 days in which to pay up, failing which legal proceedings will be instituted. Ratepayers, who through carelessness or oversight have neglected to pay their rates, would do well to communicate with the shire secretary immediately. *** ATTENTION is directed to the advertisement of Mr M. L. Goulding appearing in another column. Mr Goulding, who saw active service with the 58th. Batt. of the A.I.F. has taken over the garage adjoining the Pier Hotel, Frankston, where motor cars may be hired at reasonable rates. The requirements of motorists will also be attended to with promptitude and efficiency. *** MANY admiring glances were directed to the 35 h.p, “Itala” which Mr Bradbury, the manager, installed in the Company’s garage at Frankston this week. The car is a superior class of Continental make. It presents a very handsome appearance, and has the advantage of being able to seat seven persons comfortably besides the driver. *** PROTESTANT Federation. Under the auspices of the Frankston branch a public meeting will be held in the Mechanics’ Institute next Friday evening, when the Rev. Hugh Kelly will speak.

A good musical programme will be submitted, including items by Miss Crome, of Melbourne, and other visiting vocalists. A collection will be made. *** FRANKSTON Police Court. Monday, 31st March. Before Messrs S. Sherlock, (Chairman) and W. J. Oates, J’s.P. Vaccination Case. Francis A. Wilby, charged with failing to have his child vaccinated, was fined 40s., with 6s costs, in default distress. A Good Samaritan in Trouble. Alex. Dawson, for allowing a motorcycle to stand on the roadway without lights, on the night of the 16th March, was fined 10s with 6s 6d costs, in default distress. The evidence of Alfred Owen, cab driver for Mr Stephens, of Carrum, went to show that on the night in question, at about eight o’clock, he was driving his vehicle along the main road in the direction of Frankston. He pulled off on to the side of the road to allow, an approaching motor car to pass, and in so doing ran over, defendant’s motor cycle. When he got down to investigate, he found the machine lying half on the sand and half on the asphalt. He saw no one about. Defendant: Didn’t I run out and try to stop you ? Witness: Not that I know of. Constable Cole, of Chelsea, said he met defendant, after the accident, wheeling the machine along the road. He had no light then. Defendant, in extenuation, said he got off his machine, and left it stand-

ing well off the asphalt, to go to the assistance of a man he saw lying by the roadside, and while he was thus engaged the cab ran over his motorcycle. Constable Cole said he saw a man in defendant’s company who appeared to be injured in some way. They seemed unwilling to discuss the matter and would offer no explanation as to the man’s condition. The Bench in fixing the amount of fine said defendant was liable to a penalty of £20. They accepted his story that he had acted the part of the good Samaratan. Interpleader Case. Catherine Bineham appeared as claimant in an interpleader summons arising out of a seizure made on a warrant of execution issued at the instance of Thomas. and Co., against Thomas Bineham. Mr Utber appeared for the claimant and Mr Chambers represented the judgment creditor. Constable Diaball stated that he executed the warrant and made a seizure of certain property including a cow, piano, carpet and racing sulky. In reply to Mr Utber witness said that the claimant, Mrs Bineham, claimed the property as hers at the time the seizure was made. Claimant, in her evidence, said that the piano and carpet were given to her daughter and herself by witness’s sister, who resided at Warragul. The cow was given to witness by Mr. Southen, and her money paid for the racing sulky. The receipt (produced) was for the vehicle in question, and was issued in her name. Cross-examined by Mr Chambers,

witness stated that she earned money of her own by keeping boarders. Her people also gave her money. Wm. Southan testified to the fact that he gave the cow to claimant. Thomas Bineham, the defendant in the original complaint, said he had no claim on the property in dispute. At the time the sulky was bought by him for his wife, witness was an uncertificated insolvent. The Bench said that on the evidence the claim must be allowed. Mr Utber’s application for costs was refused. *** Heard in the Train THAT Seaford is crying out for “more light.” That Hastings says it wants the same commodity - only more so. That Frankston could do with a few more lamps this winter. That footpaths in Frankston could do with a top dressing of gravel. Miniature lakes are alright in their place. That some of the side walks leading to the railway station are in a bad way after an hour’s rain. That the Military officers who recently inspected the junior cadets at Frankston State School said the boys had the best teeth they had examined. That our soldiers, in embryo, are now prepared to chaw up all before them. That a group of citizens discussing the position the other night agreed that there was a great future ahead of Frankston. That the future is ahead alright - always had been - but only a few are trying to overhaul it. Too many are satisfied with the present.

That in another five years the premier seaside town won’t know itself with its electrified trains and vastly increased population. That the “wise heads” are getting in early and picking up the plums. That building operations are to start shortly in the erection of a substantial brick shop and dwelling. That the enterprising owner has further additions in view. That Frankston intends doing something big to celebrate the declaration of peace. That the public meeting on Wednesday night made a wise selection in its secretaries. That Somerville and Hastings are also organising for their respective centres. That 2600 shares have been allotted in the extension to Somerville cool stores which the directors have decided to carry out. That the matter of providing cool storage at Frankston is being seriously discussed, the enterprise to embrace the manufacture of ice. That the latter project requires plentiful supply of water - but not cold water. That local enterprise too frequently, has to contend with a super abundance of the last named commodity. That the Councils’ quarry proposal is still in the lap of the gods. That members of the Country Roads Board are to be invited to inspect the site and pass verdict on quality of the stone. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 5 April 1919

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Scuffy the Tugboat – A Journey into a Heart of Darkness By Stuart McCullough IT’D been a while. As a child, my bedroom had a shelf dedicated to them and they were a ubiquitous presence at the supermarket checkout, before they were bumped to make room for discounted confectionary and equally unhealthy magazines. Last week we had a two-year old guest staying with us who demanded – as two year olds do – that somebody read him a story before bedtime. Like my nephew I too read before bed; only difference being that I do my own reading rather than insist someone do it for me. However, there’s a major difference between bedtime stories for children and for adults. Namely, size. Children books make a point of not outstaying their welcome. Little Golden Books are short, have lots of pictures and words are used with an admirable sense of economy. Adult books, however, are a completely different matter. I tried to read Bruce Catton’s remarkable history of the American Civil War each night before bed and ended falling asleep with the book in my hands before it inevitably crashed down on my face. That’s because it generally takes about five minutes of reading before I start to nod off. Five minutes is perfect if you’re reading a Little Golden Book but, sadly, Bruce never thought to publish in that format. As a result, I’m still unsure as to how it ends. Everyone has a favourite Little Golden Book. Whether it’s ‘The Poky Little Puppy’, ‘Tootle’ or ‘The Little Red Hen’, there’s something for everyone. My own favourite is ‘Scuffy the Tugboat’ and so, when asked to

read a story, that was the one I chose. The first thing to note about ‘Scuffy’ is that it was first published in 1946. It’s fair to say that things have changed since then, not least that far fewer people now wear polka dot ties. However, some things remain as

relevant as ever. The first thing that struck me when reading ‘Scuffy’ is that it’s a story of irrepressible rage, fuelled by an insatiable ambition. Scuffy had a perfectly good life in a toy store, but it wasn’t enough. Instead, Scuffy believed he

smokestack has a total freak out. It gets worse from there. Scuffy the Tugboat is really a story about industrialisation. The bigger the river becomes, the bigger the towns and cities surrounding it. Scuffy becomes increasingly alarmed as he descends deep into the belly of the beast of his own personal hell. The contest between humankind and nature reaches its zenith when a storm causes a flood and townsfolk use sandbags to protect themselves from the river’s rising fury. Scuffy, it should be noted, does absolutely nothing to help. Scuffy finally reaches the city and suffers the indignity that it not being noticed at all. His quest for fame, like so many hopefuls before him, has bottomed out in a dirty city as he floats on towards the abyss that is the open ocean. Like so many hard luck stories, it is then that his family stages what I’d call an intervention, as the man with the polka dot tie reaches out from goodness knows where and plucks him from the water. As I finished reading I was shaking, my palms sweaty. Frankly, Scuffy’s journey had been harrowing. Putting down the book, I looked over and saw that my nephew was on the verge of falling asleep. His eyes were struggling to stay open, which I decided to interpret as a compliment. Rather than as a journey into turmoil, he’d seen as a return home to family. Which I guess it is. And as I watched my nephew close his eyes and nod off, I thought, “And this is the life for me.” stuart@stuartmccullough.com

was destined for ‘bigger things’. At first, we have no idea what’s meant by the term ‘bigger things’. My hope is that ‘bigger things’ means either a record deal or, if not, then a television variety show. But it soon becomes apparent that Scuffy’s unquenchable thirst for fame will see him turn his back on his former life and nearly destroy him. If I feel sorry for anyone in the whole ‘Scuffy’ debacle, it’s the man with polka dot tie who owns the toyshop and his little boy. They’re the real heroes of this sordid tale as they do everything they can to cater to Scuffy’s escalating and diva-like demands. First, they let him go sailing in the bathtub. This, however, isn’t good enough for Scuffy, who demands more. The man in the polka dot tie – living saint that he is – then takes Scuffy to a creek. The scene is picturesque, idyllic even. But despite being given everything he’s ever wanted, Scuffy decides to betray the toy shop owner and makes a break for it. The pleas of the polka dot tie wearing man and his son are ignored as the little red tugboat with the blue smoke stack decides that this is his chance to make a jail break. It’s at this point that the tale turns seriously dark. Indeed, Scuffy’s journey down the river resembles that of Charles Marlow in search of Kurtz until Scuffy is almost destroyed by a cow. It must be noted that very few books feature a bovine-based fatality and the book would have had a very different feel to it had Scuffy snuffed it at that point. As night descends, the little red tugboat with the blue

After siren goal tops off thriller DIVISION TWO

By Brodie Cowburn MPNFL football is underway for 2019 after Rye and Pearcedale kicked off the season with a thriller. The division two season opener saw Rye face off against Pearcedale in difficult conditions at RJ Rowley Reserve on Saturday. Rye got off to a brilliant start in front of their home crowd, skipping away to a two goal lead going into quarter time. The second quarter saw momentum swing Pearcedale’s way, but they could not capitalise. In the windy con-

ditions they kicked 0.5 for the quarter. The Demons put just one behind on the scoreboard in the second quarter, which had Rye 10 points up at half time. As the second half got underway the Demons got back on top. Going into the final quarter, having led all day, they looked comfortable 24 points ahead. The final term saw Pearcedale come alive, running rampant and closing the gap to get within a kick with 90 second to play. With a little over a minute left on the clock, Pearcedale hit the front. They kicked another goal after the siren to add an exclamation point

to a brilliant comeback win. The final score read 7.9 (51) to 8.13 (61). Max Gearon was Pearcedale’s best. The opening weekend of the MPNFL season had two matches scheduled across both senior divisions. The second clash took place on Sunday, with Devon Meadows taking on Karingal. The match would be the debut of superstar Bulls signing Marc Holt, who lined up at full forward. The former Cranbourne superstar was expected to do big things, and he delivered in his debut. Despite more difficult conditions, the match was expected to be high scoring. In order to battle Holt in front

of goal, Devon Meadows superstar Michael Theodoridis would have to kick a bag as well. Things started well for Devon Meadows, who took a 21 point lead into half time. A five goals to none third term proved the difference though, as Karingal ran over the top of their opponents and claimed the victory 10.12 (72) to 12.14 (86). Holt kicked four majors in a successful debut for his new side. Next Saturday Karingal will take on Red Hill in match between two sides expected to contend for the premiership in 2019. Expectations are also high for Langwarrin and Chelsea

who will do battle at Lloyd Park. Crib Point host Rye on Saturday, while Pearcedale hosts Devon Meadows and Somerville hosts Seaford. On Sunday Hastings will kick off their season at home against Tyabb. Off the field Pearcedale were the big winners of the week, securing the signature of former Essendon and St Kilda star Brendon Goddard. He will play for the club in a one off match against Chelsea on 18 May. Pearcedale continue their tend of bringing in big names, last year bringing in Drew Petrie for a one off appearance, and the year before signing Barry Hall.

Titans to thrash it out in opener DIVISION ONE

By Brodie Cowburn DIVISION One football will kick off on Saturday in the MPNFL, with a clash of the titans between Frankston YCW and Sorrento the headline act. The two powerhouses will do battle at John Coburn Oval, with the Stonecats looking to make amends for a 2018 season that ended in unexpected disappointment. YCW were ravaged by injuries last season, and will welcome the chance to start afresh.

For Sorrento, they will be looking to bounce back after suffering the most devastating of losses against Pines in last year’s grand final. When the final sinal blew in the final game of the 2018 season, Sorrento were level with Pines. A point after the siren saw the Sharks lose the premiership. Rarely lacking star power, Sorrento have brought in Sam Gibson for season 2019 after he racked up over 100 games for North Melbourne. At Emil Madsen Reserve, Pines will

kick off their premiership defence away from home in a tough clash against Mt Eliza. The Redlegs were impressive last season and fell to Sorrento in the preliminary final. They knocked Frankston YCW out of the finals after a big performance from full forward Jordan Moncrieff. Coach troy Shannon departed in the offseason, but they will still be looking to go one better and make the big dance. Pines have signed Robin Nahas up for the 2019 season to help them in

their quest to go back to back. The small forward plied his trade with Richmond and North Melbourne at AFL level. Dromana will be making their division one debut after a big grand final win last season in the second division. The Tigers will take on Rosebud at Olympic Park, a big road trip for their first battle. Rosebud were poor in 2018, but have a big chance to start anew under the watchful eye of new coach Nick Jewell.

Edithvale-Aspendale kick off their 2019 campaign with a tough task against Mornington, who showed plenty of promise last season and will be looking to make finals this time around. Edi-Asp struggle badly in front of goal last season, which eventually cost them despite performing well in other parts of the ground. At Greg Beck Oval Frankston Bombers will take on Bonbeach, who will be looking to improve on a disappointing 2018. Mornington News

Late, late show for Langy, Pines SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LATE goals and a Mark Pagliarulo master class highlighted last weekend’s round of league games. Langwarrin had to wait until the 88th minute to break through against Box Hill United, goals in the 88th and 90th minutes salvaged a point for Frankston Pines while “Pags” scored four goals and set up one in an impressive Somerville romp. Both Langy and Box Hill had chances to break the deadlock at Lawton Park on Saturday but the decisive moment was engineered by a Damir Stoilovic corner to the near post and a Luke Burgess header. That was Langy’s fourth win of the season and cemented its hold on second spot in NPL2 East as it chases ladder leader Eastern Lions. Langy has been linked with Kingston City’s 20-year-old Mauritian international midfielder Cooper Legrand but it can’t move for the talented youngster until the transfer window opens on Tuesday 14 May. In State 3 Frankston Pines staged a remarkable last-gasp comeback to snatch a point in a nailbiting 2-2 draw with Bayside Argonauts at Monterey Reserve on Saturday. Injury, suspension, illness and a wedding hit Pines’ first team squad hard with Lewis Potter, CJ Hodgson, Cedric Benza, Connor McAndrew, Christian Malgioglio, Josh Maclaren, Voldy Bukishie and David Ofuho all unavailable. There were 10 players in Pines starting line-up making their debuts for the club but six minutes in Bayside’s Sam Langford got clear on the right of the area only to shoot wide. In the 24th minute big David Dainty was given too much time to bring the ball down and on the bounce he volleyed it into the top far corner to open the scoring. A few minutes later Pines keeper Alfonso Cardinale looked slow to react to a long-range shot eventually getting down and parrying but he set up incoming Aidan Taylor who shot low across Cardinale and into the far corner to make it 2-0. In the 38th minute Beaumaris midfielder Lewis Broderick volleyed wide when well placed and Bayside took a well deserved lead into the half-time break. Seven minutes into the second half a Meron Negassi strike was deflected onto the bar then over and four minutes later the contest should have been done and dusted. Pines defender Callum Khiath gifted possession to Danny Dicken who

quickly set up teammate James Hammond on the left of the Pines area only to watch in dismay as Hammond blasted his shot well over. Former Dandenong Thunder, Berwick City and Langwarrin midfielder Sergio Yanez had come on at half-time and was to have a major influence on this contest. As a 19-year-old Yanez spent a year playing in Chile but partway through last season job commitments forced him to stop playing when at Langy. His close control is excellent as is his ability to quickly change direction but it was his ball striking ability from set pieces that brought Pines back into this contest. In the 64th minute Yanez took a freekick 35 metres from goal and Bayside custodian Lewis Cotsopoulos was at full stretch as he tipped the ball wide. Cotsopoulos was in the thick of the action again in the 72nd minute after Negassi sent Joe O’Connor clear on the left of the area and his firm drive was parried wide by the Argonauts shotstopper. A minute later Bailey Atkinson gave the ball away but Dainty failed to punish the Pines right back. Beaumaris midfielder Dicken had been involved in some verbal stoushes prior to being booked for dissent and a few minutes later he booted the ball away after a decision had gone against Bayside leaving referee Tim Dimitriu with little option but to give Dicken a second yellow card then the mandatory red. Pines didn’t need an invitation to surge forward and wave after wave of attacks were repelled by the Bayside defence. But with just two minutes left of normal time Pines won a free kick about 25 metres from goal. Yanez stepped up and his bludgeoning strike skimmed off a defender and went in off the inside of the far post to give Pines a lifeline.

In the 90th minute it was the turn of two other Pines substitutes to steal the show. Stefan Soler got the ball wide on the right and his precise low cross in behind the Bayside defence was met by a sliding Cam Bryden whose only touch of the match broke Bayside’s hearts. Earlier on Saturday another State 3 side was in action with Skye United defeating Sandringham 3-1 in a friendly at John Paul College. Former Kingston City and Bayside Argonauts striker Nicholas Miliaresis opened the scoring for Skye and Scottish import Mikey Turner came off the bench to score twice. Wee Turner should have a had a hattrick in the second half but he lost his footing when trying to turn with only the Sandy keeper to beat and he skied a shot shortly after when well placed to score. Skye trio Mark O’Connor, Mo Elhassan and Billy Painting all returned from injury and are available for Saturday’s season opener against Ashburton United. In State 1 South-East news Mornington slumped to consecutive defeats going down 3-0 away to Doveton last weekend. Former Mornington striker Wayne Gordon opened the scoring and secondhalf strikes from Josh Frame and Damien Miskulin sealed Mornington’s fate. In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers went down 2-0 at home to Berwick City last weekend. The opening goal came four minutes from the interval following a corner which Strikers keeper Colin McCormack deflected into his net. The second goal came in the 82nd minute when Berwick substitute Sayed Fatemi was given too much room and he raced clear before finishing well to settle the issue. Berwick keeper Kris McEvoy had a trouble-free afternoon and the winning margin could have been greater for the

visitors who are the only side in the league to win both opening matches. In State 4 South news Seaford United lost 2-1 at home to Rowville Eagles last weekend. Harry McCartney reports that the visitors had sacked their coach the previous week and it was Seaford that went closest early when a first-time volley from Jeremy Schwellinger was only denied by the woodwork. In the 30th minute Rowville’s Denny Bejan broke free into a one-on-one only to be denied by Seaford keeper Anthony Madafferi. One minute later a sliding tackle with studs showing had Luke Murray seeing yellow for the second time in the contest leaving the home side with 10 men for the next hour. In the 41st minute Bejan looked suspiciously offside but was allowed to run onto a through ball and round Madafferi to give Rowville a 1-0 lead. The game opened up in the second half with Rowville’s Daniel Griguruta and Ruben Ichim and Seaford’s Dylan Waugh and Mitch Lander all being denied by the respective goalkeepers. Something had to give and it was Waugh who levelled in the 60th minute with a well-placed sidefoot into the bottom corner to make it 1-1. But a superb free-kick by Michael Gross put the visitors back in front in the 70th minute when he bent the ball around the defensive wall from just outside the area. In the 80th minute Jeremy Schwellinger was forced off with a head injury and having used up its substitutions Seaford was forced to fight out the remainder of the contest with nine men. Madafferi was in superb touch in a best-on-ground display that stopped Rowville from recording a more comfortable victory. Fellow State 4 outfit Baxter went down 7-1 at home to Dandenong South last weekend with Bryce Ingram scoring for Baxter. The local side has now leaked 12 goals in its opening two league matches and is desperate to recapture the fighting spirit that was the hallmark of its FFA Cup performances. The headline news in State 5 South last weekend was a stunning display by Pagliarulo as Somerville Eagles thumped visitor Knox United 7-1. The result catapulted Somerville to the top of the league ladder and despite player-coach Dave Greening still battling injury the local club’s promotion push has gained early momentum. Three goals in the first 15 minutes had Knox United on the ropes. The first came in the 3rd minute

with a bullet-like header from Callum Richardson following a Damian Garcia corner. Great set-up play by Richardson in the 11th minute was rewarded with a classy finish by Pagliarulo and four minutes later a Charlie Conrath cross allowed Bjorn Kutschera to round Knox keeper Siamak Bayatt-Torr to make it 3-0. Knox came back into the contest but two excellent saves by Somerville keeper Francis Beck maintained the margin. However Beck was helpless to stop a firm header from Nic Haddad following an excellent Robert Taylor cross and it was 3-1 at the interval. The second half was all about “Pags” as the big Scot added another three goals to his tally, the first from the penalty spot after Richardson was fouled in the 47th minute. In the 57th minute Pagliarulo’s cross was hammered home by Richardson and “Pags” nailed his hat-trick in the 70th minute when he got onto the end of a Carlo Cardoso cross. “Pags” rounded off the scoreline and finished off Daniel Hodge’s good work in the 81st minute with a left-foot strike into the far corner to complete his haul. In other State 5 matches Rosebud and Tullamarine settled for a 2-2 draw at Olympic Park on Saturday while Aspendale Stingrays lost 2-0 away to Pakenham United. Chris Parry and Beau Sharpe scored for Rosebud while the Stingrays’ best were Pat Diakgeorgiou, Jack Lindsay, Kieran Hughes and Sam Timuska Carr.

Freedman unveils talented two-year-olds By Ben Triandafillou JUST one month after claiming the $1.5 million Group One Blue Diamond Stakes with Lyre, Pinecliffbased trainer Anthony Freedman has unveiled yet another two talented two-year-old’s. Coming off a Mornington jump out on Wednesday 13 March, the Freedman-trained youngsters Chenier and Super Seth, who respectively finished first and second in their heat, have come out and scorched the track at their debuts. Chenier, one of five Godolphin owned two-year-old’s that Freedman trains, was heavily supported on debut at Sandown the following Wednesday 20 March and duly saluted with a dominant five-and-half length win. Super Seth then reinforced their potential with a bullish six length victory at Ballarat on Sunday 24 March. Trainer Anthony Freedman was on hand at Chenier’s debut victory at Sandown and said his colt looks to have very good potential. “He’s come very quickly to hand, he’s only had seven weeks’ work, normally you’d give them another trial (before racing) but he seems to have very good ability and great natural fitness,” Freedman said. “This race came up a bit quick, but

it fitted in well with what we’ve got in mind.” Freedman said Chenier will run at Sandown Hillside on Wednesday 10 April in a $50,000 two-year-old race over 1400 metres before travelling to Sydney for the $500,000 Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) at Rand-

wick, 10 days later. Freedman was also suggesting that the colt could potentially be a Derby candidate in the Spring. “It’s not unrealistic to think that,” he said. “He’s a very, very promising horse so if he keeps going the right way,

and his temperament suggests he will, then he could get to a good level.” Chenier is bred to get over ground, by Medaglia d’Oro, out of Zabeel mare Zydeco, which Freedman also trained. While racing under Sheikh Mohammed’s ‘Darley’ banner, Zydeco won

the 2012 Group 2 Wakeful Stakes. She also achieved minor placings in the Thousand Guineas (1600m) and VRC Oaks (2500m) at Group 1 level that spring. Super Seth’s victory at Ballarat was just as dominant and left Freedman’s racing manager, Brad Taylor, just as excited for the future. “Chenier franked the form on Wednesday pretty impressively, and it’s good to see this guy do it as well,” he said. “He’s still pretty green but it was nice to see him really flatten out and put them away nicely.” The win provided Freedman with his seventh two-year-old winner from his 14 starters this season. It also continued the stables successful run for racehorse owner and breeder, Jonathan Munz. “We’re thankful for Jonathon for providing us with these lovely horses,” Taylor said. “We’ve got a number of nice horses for him and it’s good to get this result for him.”
