Burn less money this winter WITH the closure of Hazelwood Power Station looming, Victorian’s consumers could expect to see the average residential energy bill surge, it’s no surprise approaching this winter alternative heating methods have seen a renewed interest. Gas and electricity make up a large proportion of household bills (according to liveinvictoria. vic.gov the average monthly household energy bill amounts to $330-$550 depending on household size and occupants); this rises in the colder months when there is a higher dependence on heating. Due to these cost increases, one particular heating method that is seeing renewed interest is wood heaters. While traditionally gas fireplaces have dominated the market with their perceived convenience, ease of use and former low fuel cost, this trend is set to reverse this winter, with the wood heater market beginning to dominate. It might surprise you to hear that this centuries ”old technology” is, in fact, at the forefront of advances in design, ingenuity and technology; Steve Frankland owner of Woodpecker Heating & Cooling states “now is the time to consider

the cost-saving alternative that a wood heater can offer”. If you consider wood in most cases can be sourced cheaply or at no cost, and a slow combustion fire can heat for a prolonged period of time, with extended heat retention, the cost saving benefits are indisputable. The range of wood heaters has increased immensely (supported by a growing market), imported fireplaces drawn from afar as France supply the latest design trends in architecture and design; prized for their heating superiority. The latest range includes specialist fireplaces designed to be used as a primary ducted heating system, with the capacity to provide heating in a large home, to small freestanding wood heaters designed to heat single rooms, boasting quality and effectiveness, there is a wood heater to suit a variety of heating requirements. In addition the spectrum of styles, design and finishes has grown immensely in recent years; there is now a wood heater to suit every home. With a wide range of leading gas and wood heater brands, Woodpecker can assist you in finding the best heating solution for your home.

Swimart for all your pool and spa needs SWIMART Mornington is not only the peninsula’s favourite pool shop, but that they also service and maintain hundreds of pools as well. Jordan Bedson, the store manager, along with Michael, Troy and Justin, have over 35 years of combined experience in providing onsite solutions and maintenance for swimming pools and spas. “We know pool owners want value for money, the right advice, and a pool service company they can trust. That’s what we aim to deliver to every one of our customers”, said Jordan. There is no job too big or too small for these guys. They also maintain numerous pools in holiday homes and commercial properties. Jordan explains why pool owners would want a service company to regularly maintain their pool. “There’s actually a variety of reasons. Some

owners simply don’t have the time to do it themselves or they’d prefer to be spending their time with their family or playing golf, than be out there on a Saturday vacuuming and testing their pool. Having the pool professionally maintained can also save them money by keeping their equipment in the best condition and prolonging the life of the interior of the pool. Some just want to come home from work and know the pool is safe and ready for the family to enjoy,” he said. Swimart Mornington also service, repair and install all pool equipment, pumps, filters, chlorinators, lights, automation systems, robotic cleaners and much more. So, for all your pool needs, whether it is going into the store and having your water tested for free, or having the Swimart guys look after your pool for you, give them a call on 5976 4334.

Shops plan changed to save heritage Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

A POTENTIAL loss of heritage was taken into consideration in assessing a permit application to redevelop a group of shops in Main St, Mornington. This has resulted in three shopfronts being retained rather than demolished and a fourth relocated. Initially the four shops, at 55-61 Main St, were slated to be demolished, but three will now remain and the fourth “largely retained, but moved to a similar shopfront position inside the new arcade”. This follows a 346-signature petition asking Mornington Peninsula Shire to stop the development of a three-storey shopping arcade, basement carpark, offices and apartments. The council’s Monday 27 March agenda, under petitions and letters, says signatories believed the planned redevelopment would “destroy the uniqueness and ambience of the precinct, and cast shadows over Main St”. Shire principal planner Krystal Blizzard said a planning permit was granted last October to redevelop the existing building into a three-storey mixed use building. “Heritage concerns were taken into account during the assessment of the proposal,” she stated. “The applicant initially intended to demolish the existing shopfronts. “Discussions with the applicant during the assessment phase led to a revised design solution. Instead of losing all of the shopfronts as originally proposed, three will now remain in situ, and the fourth one will largely be retained, but

relocated to a similar shopfront position in the new arcade. “This was considered to be an acceptable approach to address concerns over the loss of this heritage fabric at street level.” The mayor Cr Bev Colomb said a lot of work had gone into retaining the shop fronts under the shire’s structure plan. “The aim is to retain the feel of Main St,” she said. “Those conditions have been built into the permit.” KOH Living director Tui Cordemans , who organised the petition, said the revised permit was “great news”. “Nobody wanted it [the proposed development]; the locals were disgusted that the council was going to approve it. “Mornington is a great little town, and the tourists who come here love our preserved heritage. It’s fantastic.”

Change ‘necessary’ for church Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CHANGES to church service timetables at Mt Eliza are believed to be unsettling many long-time parishioners. Up until now, Mt Eliza Anglicans worshipped at either St James the Less or across Nepean Highway at the Chapel of the Resurrection in the grounds of Peninsula Grammar. However, changes introduced by the Rev Jennie Savage, of St James the Less, will see the current four Sunday morning services at the two churches reduced to two in the main church at St James the Less. Palm Sunday, 9 April will mark the “final celebrations of thanksgiving and worship at each service” and, from Sunday 23 April, Sunday services will be held at 8.30am and 10.30am at St James the Less. The combined congregations will also worship there during Holy Week: Maundy Thursday 7pm, Good Friday 10am, and Easter Sunday 10am. The Rev Savage said there were several reasons for the changes. “We currently have four Sunday services that are not sustainable in relation to clergy numbers and financial matters into the future,” she said. “We are not able to adequately staff so many services, with some clashing, and which are not allowing us to offer a good pastoral ministry. “We are making major changes to set ourselves up for the future with the 8.30 and 10.30am services.” It is believed that some foundation members of the Chapel of the Resurrection at Peninsula Grammar are “broken hearted” at the changes, which will mean there is no more public worship there. The Rev John Leaver, who started the Mt Eliza North parish in 1974, admitted he was “not happy” with the changes which were splitting the parish.

He said the number of regular Sunday worshippers varied, but that it was usually around 50 people, with more at Easter and Christmas services. His wife, Wendy, said some parishioners had told her it was “like breaking up a family”. “They are going down to only two services [on Sundays] which they think is an improvement and they hope people will be going across [Nepean Highway],” she said. “Sunday week [Palm Sunday] will be an emotional week [when the service timetables change].” The Rev Savage said she understood change was “always upsetting and confronting”. “A great many people are for the changes but there

is also a sense of grief and loss being felt among others,” she said. She admitted the church may lose some parishioners. “We are making a new beginning. I hope they try to understand that it is a process that must be worked through.” The Rev Savage has been at St James the Less since September. She was formerly vicar at St Nicholas Anglican, Mordialloc, when similar service timetable changes were implemented. “When I was invited [to Mt Eliza] by the committee – who are also members of the church – change was on the agenda; there is a need for it,” she said.

Councillors eat cake as shire turns 20 MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire celebrated the 20-year anniversary of its inaugural council meeting held on 20 March 1997 at the Rosebud Council Chamber. The occaision was marked with the cutting of a cake at Flinders Civic Hall. The first meeting was attended by nine councillors elected in the 1997 municipal election. The election followed the formation of the shire in December 1994 with the amalgamation of the former shires of Flinders, Mornington and Hastings. For the following three years the shire was managed by state government-appointed commissioners, Nick Hutson, Peter Newman and Jane Moffat. The shire’s first councillors were Bill Goodrem, David Gibb, David Jarman, David Renouf, Jane Hildebrant, John Trantino, Judith Couacaud Grayley, Margaret Bell and Snez Plunkett. The shire’s current mayor Cr Bev Colomb said the shire has met many challenges in looking after its green wedge and 40 villages and townships. “We are proud to say that over the 20 years, the Shire has worked hard to develop a number of strategies, plans and policies to better the peninsula now and in the future,” Cr Colomb said. “This legacy reminds us of our important duties as elected leaders to value, protect and improve our unique peninsula.”

WHAT’S NEW...

Perfection by design at Sorrento Furniture DO you remember the good old days? When your lounge suite was made by hand, and with care, and not mass produced, sure to fall apart, or have the material wear and tear before your eyes? Where did it all go wrong? How did we get so far away from ‘quality’? Lucky for us, all is not lost. There are still people out there (let’s call them ‘craftsmen’) who work with their hands, and create things that are beautiful. Sorrento Furniture is one such business. Located in Mornington, they hand manufacture custom-made furniture that is beautiful, functional and, most importantly, designed to the client’s exact requirements. “We call it the ‘Goldilocks’ experience”, said Cynthia Walsh who, with husband Gerard, runs Sorrento Furniture. “The clients are part of the process from the start to finish. They can come and sit on the furniture we are making for them and say ‘too soft’ or ‘too hard’, and we tailor the piece to their exact requirements.” The Walsh’s connection to furniture production goes back four generations when Gerard’s father and grandfather had a furniture shop in Ballarat. “My father got out of the game after returning from the Second World War, but when I showed an interest in design, he encouraged me.” Gerard got an apprenticeship as an upholsterer, and never looked back. “I’ve spent 43 years in upholstery and furniture manufacturing,” said Gerard. “Most of the work we did was commercial until we decided to purchase Sorrento Furniture about six years ago,” said Gerard. “It was basically getting back to where we started”. From their new base in Mornington, they began to build a clientele for residential work. “We still do quite a bit of commercial work, probably about a quarter, but residential work is

what we focus on mostly at Sorrento Furniture,” said Gerard. The process is quite different from other methods of furniture purchasing. “It starts with an idea. A client or interior designer comes to us with an idea, and we start by drawing it out. We liaise with them and come up with the design,” said Gerard. “Basically, we can build most of what people can imagine!” The furniture framing is then designed and

produced. “We use plantation Victorian ash, which is a hardwood. It is the best you can get,” said Gerard, who decries the use in the industry of inferior framing these days, such as MDF or chipboard. “We have always had a focus on the best quality that money can buy. It doesn’t matter that you can’t see the internal frame. It still has to be the best.” Sorrento Furniture pride themselves on being the best in the business, from concept to

completion. “We source as much of the products we can locally,” said Gerard. “And we are also very environmentally conscious. Our foams are CFC free, and we use a water-based glue for all our products.” Sorrento Furniture also source the best fabrics that Australia, and the world, can offer. “We stock Warwick Fabrics, Elliott Clark, Ink, and Spindle and many others to make your piece totally unique”. Cynthia and Gerard employ a team of craftsmen and women including upholsterers, machinists and cutters. While Gerard runs the workshop, Cynthia is usually busy in the showroom. “I love my photoshoots, as anybody who follows us on Instagram will notice,” said Cynthia. Sorrento Furniture have a complete photographic studio upstairs for the sometimes challenging task of photographing furniture. “It is a huge job. Although there is a steady flow of pictures onto Instagram during the year, I gather most of the pictures during about five photoshoots we have each year.” Cynthia and Gerard both know the importance of a public profile for their brand. As well as working with interior designers, they value word of mouth, and referrals from previous customers. “It is amazing to see the faces of our clients. It starts as an idea and a drawing, and about four to six weeks later, the piece of completed furniture is sitting in their house,“ said Gerard. “That is the reward for all our hard work… a happy client”. Sorrento Furniture specialise in both bespoke furniture design and manufacturing, and reupholstering. Call them to discuss your furniture or reupholstering requirements.

Council backs away from new skatepark plan NEARBY residents believe a skatepark at Narambi Reserve, Mornington will reduce vandalism to bus shelters and Mornington Park. A 298-signature petition calling for a skatepark at Narambi Reserve was delivered to Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors at their Monday 27 March meeting. Sport and recreation infrastructure planner Mark Stahel said the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skate and BMX strategy did not include a skatepark at Narambi reserve â&#x20AC;&#x153;however there is a large skate facility located at Civic Reserve in Mornington, which is approximately one kilometre from Narambi reserveâ&#x20AC;?. Mr Stahel said the strategy â&#x20AC;&#x153;will be reviewed once the implementation plan from the existing strategy has been completedâ&#x20AC;?. That could take some time as the shire is still scrambling to resolve its differences with Mt Martha Tennis Club, which is opposed to a skatepark next to its courts on the former parade ground near Mt Martha House. The shire is prepared to spend $825,000 on a skatepark on the parade ground near the corner of the Esplanade and Kilburn Grove even though its design is guaranteed to not satisfy the needs or abilities of all skaters. The plan to build the skatepark at Mt Martha was adopted without first seeking the consent of the tennis club to which council had already leased the site. The club says the two activities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; skating and tennis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are incompatible and it also wants to build an extra court in the same spot. The petition for a skatepark at Narambi reserve says the signatories believe the existing skateparks in Mt Eliza â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Mt Marthaâ&#x20AC;? are too far away for young people to get to without transport.

Work date set for restoration rescue RESTORATION work will begin next month (May) on some section of the exterior of Mt Martha House. The heritage listed Federation Queen Anne style building dates back to 1891 when it was known as the Martha Hotel. Built of timber, it sits on a high point of land opposite the beach at the corner of the Esplanade and Dominion Rd, Mt Martha, where it is sometimes subjected to severe weather conditions. Mornington Peninsula Shire says is awaiting approval from Heritage Victoria to spend about $100,000 on exterior restoration works to the community centre. However, Heritage Victoria says delays have been caused by the shire not providing information sought last July. In February, Bob Davies, chairman of the Mt

Martha House management committee, told Heritage Victoria that ongoing discussions had been held with the shire about the deteriorating condition of the building as a result of its â&#x20AC;&#x153;environmentally harsh locationâ&#x20AC;?. He said â&#x20AC;&#x153;budgetary constraintsâ&#x20AC;? had prevented the shire from taking action, but money was now available and suitable contractors being sought. Mr Davies said he had been told Heritage Victoria had withheld approval because it â&#x20AC;&#x153;is concerned that the extent of the proposed work would affect the heritage integrity of the buildingâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I respectfully point out that the deterioration of substantial parts of the building is real and unless remedial action is taken quickly the shire will be faced with having to undertake even more substantial works in order to

maintain the basic structural integrity of the building,â&#x20AC;? Mr Davies stated. In early March Heritage Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director Tim Smith told Mr Davies he was pleased to hear the shire had money for the restoration work and would assess the shire work schedule as soon as it was received. Mr Smith said the shire had asked in June 2016 on how to proceed with the works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At no stage has Heritage Victoria declined the necessary approvals for repairs and maintenance works. In July 2016 we requested the shire to provide additional details in relation to the proposed works, for which they advised they would do, but we have not received.â&#x20AC;? The shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building and facilities manager David Smith last week said the work was now scheduled to be carried out in May and June â&#x20AC;&#x153;subject to Heritage Victoria approvalâ&#x20AC;?.

Garage sale for community

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

The first part of the operation involved collecting the donated goods and then sorting and storing. Items come from families moving house, down-sizing or parting with possessions they no longer require. Categories of goods include artworks, books, bric-a-brac, kitchenware, tools, toys and games, sporting equipment, light furniture, clothes, plants and gardening implements.

COLLECTING and sorting goods for sale has been keeping members of Mt Eliza Rotary Club busy for weeks. The culmination of their efforts to raise money for community projects comes this Saturday (8 April) with the club’s annual garage sale. It will be the seventh year the club has sold goods donated by households from across the Mornington Peninsula and some Melbourne suburbs.

“There will be thousands of items at bargain prices and I want to stress that all profits from this event will go direct to Rotary supported community projects-many in the youth area,” Mt Eliza Rotary president George Ann Sullivan said. The garage sale runs 8am-3pm Saturday 8 April at Peninsula Grammar (formerly The Peninsula School), Wooralla Drive, Mt Eliza. Free entry.

Cruden Farm plan on the way Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au CHANGE may be coming to Cruden Farm amid signs a property developer is showing an interest in the Langwarrin homestead. The idyllic 54-hectare estate was Dame Elisabeth Murdoch’s home for eight decades before her death in 2012 at the age of 103. Dame Murdoch was the mother of News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch. The estate was transferred into the name of Cruden Custodian Limited in 2013 and its trustees include several grandchildren of Dame Murdoch but not the media mogul himself. Its gardens are sometimes open to the public and the estate hosts community and charity events at the behest of Dame Murdoch who was a renowned philanthropist. Cruden Farm director Cara Simpson confirmed “a proposal” will be submitted to Frankston Council in early April. “The intention of the proposal is to secure the long-term future of Cruden Farm so that it can be enjoyed by the people of Victoria in line with the wishes of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch,” she said in a statement. Newspaper magnate Keith Murdoch bought Cruden Farm in 1928 as a wedding present for Dame Murdoch. Brighton-based property developer Hamish Macdonald registered the business name Cruden Farm in January this year under his business name UEG Pty Ltd. Mr Macdonald is a former Geelong Grammar student and University of Melbourne graduate

according to a LinkedIn profile and previously worked in executive roles at development firms Lend Lease and Becton. He is also a non-executive director of VicUrban, a state government development agency. “From late 2008 to early 2012 Hamish had a contract based role with the Victorian Department of Human Services,” the LinkedIn profile states. “In this role, Hamish had responsibility for the creation of any new social housing in Victoria and the ongoing maintenance of the existing portfolio of 73,000 public housing dwellings.” Calls to numbers linked with UEG Pty Ltd were not returned.. Frankston mayor Cr Brian Cunial confirmed the future of the estate has been discussed at council. “We have met with representatives of Cruden Farm on several occasions to discuss options and opportunities that will ensure its sustainable future and availability and access for our community,” he said. “Any subdivision of Cruden Farm would require a planning scheme amendment and planning permit. Council has not received any application in relation to Cruden Farm.” Cruden Farm is zoned Rural Conservation Zone 2 with a minimum subdivision limit of eight hectares. Any subdivision less than eight hectares would have to be approved by state Labor Planning Minister Richard Wynne and ratified by both the Upper House and Lower House of Parliament in Victoria. The property is also subject to environmental significance and heritage overlays.

NEWS DESK Shire in top 10 MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has been named as one of Victoria’s top 10 councils for music. The ranking by Music Victoria is based on the efforts municipalities make “to ensure that live music and the arts is well-represented in their area”. Other municipalities to make the top 10 are the cities of Ballarat, Darebin, Greater Geelong, Maribyrnong, Melbourne, Moreland, Port Phillip, Stonnington and Yarra. Music Victoria based its top 10 on the way councils developed and implemented strategic plans for contemporary music in their community; provided grants and other programs for contemporary music; curated, supported and funded local music festivals; and offering council facilities to musicians. Music Victoria looked at 79 municipalities to find the most music oriented municipalities.

Church op shop fire ‘suspicious’ WITNESSES told police they heard an explosion before seeing the old weatherboard church at the corner of Church and King streets, Hastings, on fire at 4am, Friday 31 March. The fire, in the opportunity shop at the rear of the Holy Trinity Church, is regarded as being suspicious.

Mornington News 4 April 2017

CFA firefighters had the fire under control within 15 minutes. Trucks from Hastings, Bittern and a breathing apparatus van from Frankston attended. “Internally the building has been gutted, but it is still standing,” Hastings CFA captain Jim Atkinson said. “Firefighters did a fantastic job at protect-

ing the current church from the fire.” An arson chemist was expected to examine the scene later that morning. Sergeant Damien Lombard, of Hastings police, is appealing for video footage or further information on the fire. Anyone who can help is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

RED Cross volunteers dressed for the cause last month by modelling clothing during a lunch at Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron. The 120 diners were treated to fashions provided by Blue Illusion, Sorrento, being worn by members of the Sorrento/ Portsea/Rye Red Cross unit. Raffle prizes were donated by local retailers and residents. The organisation is a leading humanitarian aid and community services charity with its cross sign recognised throughout the world. During times of crisis, Red Cross volunteers and staff working alongside police, fire and other emergency services, government and community partners to help ensure people who have been affected are treated with dignity and that their basic human needs are met. Members of Sorrento/Portsea/Rye Red Cross will be back in their own clothes holding an Easter street stall in Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento on Saturday 15 April. Homemade cakes, biscuits and slices will be on sale. The unit meets monthly at the Sorrento Community Centre and the next meeting is on Thursday 13 April. New members welcome.

In response to Peter Scharpenack of Mornington, how m any times do residents need to voice their concerns before Mornington Peninsula Shire Council will listen (“Over-development” Letters 28/3/17)? It seems the developers are able to buy their way onto the peninsula regardless of the effect it will have on the environment. Green areas need to be set aside that cannot be touched; and the beaches are what make Mornington Peninsula the desirable place to visit and live. Council secrecy needs to stop. Nadia Wilson, Safety Beach

Fixing the pier The 15 tonne wave panels affixed to Mornington pier failed at the first test, proving the incompetence of the design (“Pier fix must wait out winter” The News 28/3/17). I have seen worse storms here and the global warming characters predict worse to come. Apparently Parks Victoria is going to have another go. I think there are only two solutions. One is to fill in the entire cavity under the pier with several thousand tonnes of concrete. That should last 100 years, not 10 minutes. Vector forces would still ensure that many tonnes of seawater would again be constantly flung 10 metres vertically. Perhaps Mothers beach will be ruined, the odd person might be washed off the pier and drowned, but at least the 20 or so moored boats would have protection and reduced insurance premiums. The second solution is to have no barriers at all. Let the mighty, unstoppable sea rage and flow under the pier. Pull the boats out. It would be much cheaper for the taxpayers. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Politically incorrect The article “Award for ‘life changing’ teacher” (The News 28/3/17) was incorrect on a number

of levels, the teacher who was interviewed was misquoted and misunderstood. The article refers to “normal” children, which is not a term staff at Community Kinders Plus would use and we believe is deeply offensive. This should have been picked up by the editor and should never have been published. The teacher, Meagan Hull, explained to the journalist that a child with additional needs, attending a kindergarten like Bentons Square, creates learning opportunities for all. Ms Hull referred to her work in the inclusive program as “life changing”, which is not what the heading implies. It mentions Mt Martha House, Mornington Park and Biala Peninsula as schools when in fact Biala Peninsula is an early intervention organisation and the former are both kindergartens. The conference that Ms Hull will attend in North Carolina with Jacqui Zuidema, who is the early intervention teacher from Biala Peninsula, is to learn more about initiatives in inclusive early childhood education. Teresa McLennan, operations manager, Community Kinders Plus

Public, private pool The push for an southern peninsula aquatic centre (SPA) is being activated again by Betty Preston and a little band of bath towel and swimming cap wearers (“Pressure for aquatic centre” The News 28/3/17) At least we know it will not be on the Rosebud foreshore because the previous Liberal state government told Mornington Peninsula Shire to remove it from the strategy plan. I t appears the group expects the rest of the shire’s ratepayers to go into hock to the tune of $40 million so that a minority of people who just love swimming in watered down chlorine can get their kicks. Can I suggest to members of this small group that if they are fair dinkum about their desires for a pool with all the trimmings, that they approach council with a request to enter into a private public partnership with the owner of the existing pool in the industrial estate and remodel it complete with [such things as a] hydro pool for a

Wide coverage A mishmash of letters in last week’s The News. Pleading words from Patricia Rayner on the injustice to innocent refugees on Manus Island and Nauru, a form of slow death in our name. The shame. Goodness knows where Brian A Mitchelson is coming from. On the one hand he calls for a dose of socialism, on the other he concludes Pauline Hanson says what we think? Michael G Free chips in calling for a return to the good old days, yet lists Henry Bolte and Jeff Kennett as shakers and movers? Last, but never least, we have our consistent friend John Cain and the return of the aquatic centre groundswell, meaning there’s no escaping John’s wrath on this one in the coming months. Fun and games. Cliff Ellen, Rye

Keep Hazelwood I think Tony Abbott and Inness Willox have the right idea in suggesting that the Victorian government should take over the Hazelwood power station and keep it running until some other source of energy comes on line. We have an energy crisis brought about by state and federal governments on both sides, by their failure to include adequate Australian protective clauses in their deals with foreign owners of our gas and petroleum resources and their failure to get on top of revisions to the petroleum resource rent tax (PRRT), the primary tax on oil and gas production. The PRRT alone could finance our schools and hospitals if it was adequately reviewed. After his lack of foresight our prime minister’s knee jerk solution of extending the Snowy Mountains hydro electric scheme will take at least 10 years to make a difference to the current situation and by that time it could well be insufficient. More base load power production needs to be planned and brought on line but, in the meantime, Hazelwood should be kept producing. Not

only would the economy of the Latrobe Valley be maintained and 2600 jobs saved, but sufficient energy would remain available to support our industries and domestic users throughout Victoria. Although Hazelwood is a dirty power station, burning brown coal, its contribution to pollution on a global scale is insignificant. Beside the continuing building of coal fired power stations in China and India it does not rate and it would only have a finite short life while other cleaner sources of electricity were brought on line. At the same time state and federal governments should start making plans and serious decisions about future power production instead of doing nothing and hoping the problem will go away. James McLoughlin, Balnarring Editor: Hazelwood’s generators were turned off last week. The decision for the power station to close was made by its owners, French company Engie, for economic reasons.

Legal matters I was miffed by the comments from Peninsula Community Legal Aid CEO Jackie Galloway, in which she bemoans the federal government’s proposed cuts to legal aid funding from 1 July (“Rosie Batty backs legal help centre” The News 28/3/17). Perhaps if Victorian legal aid, along with the judiciary, could be persuaded not to fund the wasteful and doomed appeals of monsters such as Adrian Bailey and Sean Price, there might be money available to fund the work of Jackie and her colleagues, even after the cuts which, although undesirable, are necessary to reduce government debt and deficit and avoid leaving a crushing burden on the shoulders of our children and grandchildren. Otherwise, the only option available to future governments will be huge increases in taxes, or far greater reductions in services, than those being presently proposed.

Calling all hospital drivers THE Bays Hospital, Mornington, is looking for volunteer drivers to help patients get to hospital. “While family and friends transport most patients to and from medical appointments, some have to rely on public transport, have limited mobility or are too unwell to drive themselves,” nursing director Anita Woods said. “Our two patient transport vehicles, both donated by Bernie Taylor of the Grand Hotel Mornington, are enabling nursing staff to be increasingly mobile and reach patients in the community to provide better care.” Ms Woods said the vehicles enables the hospital’s prostate cancer specialist nurse and breast care nurse to counsel and support patients in their own homes.

She said The Bays wanted to establish a volunteer patient transport program. “Patient transport volunteers provide companionship and support to people who would otherwise find it difficult to attend medical appointments. “The patient transport program is a lifeline for patients who have no other way of getting to and from our hospital.” Ms Woods said volunteer drivers could elect to drive mornings or afternoons. “On average, drivers would volunteer for one four-hour shift a week.” Anyone interested in being a patient transport volunteer can call The Bays volunteer coordinator on 5970 5308 or email volunteer@thebays. com.au

PRIMARY school music teachers from across the Mornington Peninsula attended an all-day workshop by renowned Australian music educator, Richard Gill, late last month. The Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society Mornington Peninsula hosted the event, which was paid for with money raised through the society’s young arts program. “These funds have in previous years been directed to individuals or specific schools [but] this year our committee decided to support an initiative which would have a broader impact,” ADFAS chairman Janet Glaspole said. “It was felt that by teaching the teachers the benefits would then trickle down to the students and have more lasting value.” The arts society worked with Mr Gill, heads of the National Music Teacher Mentoring Program,

and the Department of Employment and Training, in organising and hosting the workshop. Participants were told of the “importance of music from a young age and how music education provides lasting benefits to learning and life skills generally”. Two sessions addressed specifically to music teachers covered Text and Rhythm and Text and Pitch. The ADFAS holds one-hour lectures at the Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington, 5.30pm Fridays. Book restorer, fine binder, teacher and film maker Dominic Riley will discuss: Lost in the Titanic: the Making of the Great Omar Binding at the next talk on Friday 5 May.

Dental Studio 2-Twenty offers a boutique dental experience, with the latest technology, a brand new surgery, state of the art equipment, and the bonus of three decades of experience treating people. Dr Albery has undertaken advanced training in crown, bridge and implants dentistry, and completed his Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in Myofascial Acupuncture.

Disgraceful behaviour The performance of the old parties (Labor and Liberal/ Nationals) during question time shows Australians exactly why Australia is becoming a great sad joke. The vile accusations sprayed around the Lower House by both leaders and their minions is an embarrassment for anyone who thought the grown ups are actually at the wheel of Australia’s ship of state. Both sides of politics are not fit to be in charge of our nation if only half of the accusations made are true. And if there is no truth to anything they spit at each other then they both should come out and apologise to us, the Australian people. There are serious problems needing urgent attention for the future of Australia and its people, like global warming, the fact that wealth distribution in Australia has become so distorted that an ever greater proportion of Australians are slipping below the poverty line, while some of our corporations and wealthy people don’t know what to do with all their wealth. Our health care is becoming unaffordable for many, our elderly pensioners can’t afford utility costs, and our youth ends up with huge debts if they aspire to get a good education. But we have to witness Nero and his opponents fiddle while our society goes to the dogs. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Hunters out of tune It is inspiring to see the mixture of outrage, disbelief and laughter filling the media since PETA requested the iconic Australian band Hunters and Collectors to change its name. PETA will be shedding True Tears of Joy if the band agrees to make a point about the appalling and gratuitous annual slaughter of some 300,000 peaceful water birds in Victoria and Tasmania. Of course, H&C are not themselves out there with high powered rifles and a taste for blood, but when hugely popular bands are Talking to a Stranger it is easy for people to get the wrong idea, and think that because the music is great, the words in the band’s name must also be admirable. An Easy change of name won’t put the band Back on the Breadline, but may well make some fans think about the fate of animals who, going peacefully about their business, are blasted from the sky by hunters, just for some sort of twisted fun. People love to laugh at PETA and our media releases,

and we encourage everyone to do so. We’re laughing too, at the absurdly disproportionate outrage of some commentators who took the story a little too seriously, and of course at the fact that this simple request is still, days later, getting people laughing, shouting, commenting and most of all thinking about the exploitation of animals. Any response is better than to Turn a Blind Eye. When the River Runs Dry, PETA will still be there, fighting with weapons of laughter and tears against animal abuse. Have a laugh on PETA, but check out PETA.org.au to find out more about the atrocities that humans visit on other animals. Ashley Fruno, associate director of campaigns, PETA Australia

Welcome for bus I have just received a survey from the MP for Carrum, Sonya Kilkenny, about the need for a bus service from Carrum Downs and Sandhurst to Carrum station. Yes please.

Take care on roads With school holidays starting next week and the Easter long weekend not far behind, it is crucial for Victorian drivers to be prepared for the extra activity in the community, particularly when on the road. Tragically, we have already seen 56 lives lost on Victorian roads this year, 62 per cent of which occurred on rural roads. This figure is not only alarming but disproportionately high given most Victorians live in metropolitan Melbourne. While country roads appear to have less traffic, they can be just as dangerous as busy highways, particularly for those drivers who are unfamiliar to the changing conditions. It is devastating to think that in just three months, 56 lives have been lost and many more families, friends and communities left mourning their loved ones. We must remember to not only obey the road rules and stick to the speed limit, but also to drive to the conditions in regional areas. As someone who sees the devastating impact a fatality or injury on our roads can have to the community, every precaution must be taken to keep our roads safe. Joanne Panagakis, Slater and Gordon state practice group leader

Ringmaster: Rye boxer Jayde Mitchell has Les Sherrington against the ropes. Picture: Hosking Promotions

Mitchell doesn’t disappoint RYE super-boxer Jayde Mitchell “stepped on the gas” in the sixth round to overpower rival Les Sherrington at the popular Punches at the Park III event on Saturday 18 March. Mitchell stormed to a TKO win in the 10 rounder at Melbourne Park Function Centre to retain the interim WBA Oceania title. Hundreds of supporters from the Mornington Peninsula gave their man a standing ovation – and even tears – after his convincing win over his bigger rival. “The peninsula blew the roof off the function centre and I can’t thank everyone enough who came out or tuned in and watched this past Saturday night,” Mitchell said on social media. “[The win] was the culmination of all our hard work coming together and I feel we put our stamp on our recent accolades. I took on a far more experi-

enced opponent who came to win. “There were some great exchanges until I found the shots, stepped on the gas and got the finish.” Mitchell singled out his strength and conditioning coach Mitch Cook for praise afterwards. “We had an amazing preparation in which I lost 21kg from the second week of January without any injuries and still built strength which showed in this fight.” Mitchell’s next fight is on Saturday 22 April at the Melbourne Pavilion in Flemington. “I am super excited to be fighting on the same card as former world champion Sam ‘King’ Soliman as he makes his return to Melbourne,” he said. “Also returning is Jake Carr and great undercard featuring Joel Painter and former Richmond Football Club player Kayne Pettifer.” Stephen Taylor

Do you have trouble hearing at restaurants? AFTER having a lovely dinner out with your family and friends, ideally, you would want to leave the restaurant feeling satisfied with joy, laughter and a full stomach. But many of us often leave the gathering feeling drained with a sore throat. So here are my tips to help you hear better at restaurants: 1. Restaurant research - it is important to do research on the restaurant that you are going to, or planning to book. Give the diner a call to enquire if it is possible to be situated in a quiet spot for your group, and to ask if they have any noise absorbing pan-

els. Furthermore, there are restaurant review pages online that can give a rating on the noise levels. The review pages generally have images of the restaurants so we recommend that you look for soft furnishings i.e. cushions, paintings, carpet and curtains, which all help to reduce the noise levels inside. 2. Seating - it is wise to sit yourself facing towards the wall, instead of having your back against the wall. This gives you the opportunity to ignore the whole restaurant behind you to reduce distractions; but most importantly, it allows you to just focus

on the people most important to you. 3. Lighting - adequate lighting is just as important as it allows you to lip-read. Lip-reading, also known as speech-reading, can help a person understand what is being said by looking at the other person’s facial expressions and gestures. This give the brain a second opportunity to catch some words that you may not have heard initially, and therefore helps you to participate better in conversations. However, if you feel that these techniques have not worked for you or if you have noticed that your hearing levels are not what they used to be,

then please do not hesitate to give us a call and book an appointment. We can provide a comprehensive hearing assessment and advise on how to assist you further. At Stay Tuned Hearing, we provide a 30-day free hearing aid trial, with no obligations and at no cost to you. It will provide you with the peace of mind and understanding of what to expect. There are no sales targets and no commissions involved at Stay Tuned Hearing, just great service for you. Call us on 9708 8626 for an appointment today.

Foot, knee or leg pain? OUR feet and legs are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most of our daily activities, so its no wonder most people suffer foot, knee or leg pain at some point in their lives. But what can you do about it? We asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics to shed some light on common foot and leg concerns:  The most common concerns include: knee pain, injuries and arthritis; heel, shin and forefoot pain; ankle and achilles concerns.  Many conditions are misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated, so its important to find an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist to assist.  Bad foot posture can continually pull your body out of alignment, which can contribute to postural aches / pains and undue stress on joints and tissues.  Early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis, nerve and circulatory problems often show themselves initially in the feet.  Traditional treatments such as cortisone, anti-inflammatory medications and joint arthroscopies are now outdated for conditions such as foot and leg pain and arthritis, and have been found to delay healing and cause further tissue damage in many cases.  We now have effective, natural medical alternatives and treatments for such conditions. Regenerative therapies such as Prolotherapy and PRP (platelet rich plasma) are helping many to

It’s like having a personal trainer alongside you as you exercise. The non-threatening, friendly and supportive environment provides a safe place where women can socialise and exercise together. Curves is not just a gym, it is a community. To celebrate the re-launch of the Mornington club we will be holding an Open Day on May 6 from 10am until 3pm. There will be door prizes, show bags, and product samples. Try some of the equipment and talk to a Curves coach about the different membership options that are available. Take advantage of our 6-weeks for $99 offer to purchase a gift certificate for mum! To book in for your no obligation consultation and complimentary workout, or to take advantage of our current 7-day free trail offer, please call Curves Mornington on 5975 5526 or call into our centre in the Mornington Industrial Park, 33/1140 Nepean Highway, Mornington (behind moor room storage). Remember, a 30-minute workout is only 2% of your day and three 30-minute workouts is less than 1% of your week!

first time property investors, we “wereAsquite nervous going into an area that was completely foreign to us. Lauren made the whole process very easy, and reassured us every step of the way. We were pleasantly surprised when she had our property tenanted within the first week, and any issues that arose were dealt promptly and amicably by Lauren and her team. We are extremely happy with our choice to employ Lauren as our property manager, and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Shae has given us excellent service as property manager for our unit. Any concerns that we or the tenant has are dealt with immediately and nothing is ever too much trouble. Every single thing is always followed up. Shae is very thorough with inspections and continually keeps us up to date. We have had several property managers in the past but they have lacked the attention to detail & wonderful service that Shae has provided. We can strongly recommend Shae to anyone who is sourcing a good property manager.

ADAM BRAND WILL GET YOU ON YOUR FEET There’s a revolution happening in the world of Adam Brand. It’s a creative revolution that sees Brand redefin-ing boundaries and returning with the most ambitious record of his career, GET ON YOUR FEET. The album pushes the envelope in a way that few country artists of the modern era have ever attempted. This is Adam Brand in 2017, and he’s bringing a full deck of fine songs to the party that will establish a new high-water mark for him in a career that is already rich

with them. With a new genre pushing record that’s set to send critics and fans reaching for new superlatives, Brand remains one the giants of modern Australian country music. One of country’s few contemporary icons, Brand has built a career that has seen him sell over half a million CDs and DVDs while earning three platinum and five gold albums. His catalogue includes such seminal albums as Last Man Standing, Adam Brand, Get

Loud, Blame It On Eve and It’s Gonna Be OK. Throughout his career Adam Brand has been recognised internationally - particularly in the USA. He has an admirer in Taylor Swift - who hand picked him to tour with her in 2011. Brand has been nominated four times for the ARIA Best Country Album award and has won a dozen CMAAs (Country Music Awards of Australia) including multiple wins in the Song of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year categories. Adam has won twelve Golden

Guitar Awards. He is also the series winner of Dancing With The Stars. Still, the one thing that continues to define Adam Brand ‘the artist’ is his desire to evolve and move forward. Blazing a sonic trail fuelled by what is happening right now in muisc, GET ON YOUR FEET is a stellar return for the artist. Adam Brand will be playing at The Grand Hotel, Mornington, on Friday 28 April. Tickets at grand.oztix.com.au or www.grand.net.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

The death of George Griffeth keenly felt in community THE dance held by the “Wattle” Club on Saturday night last, was a great success. *** SPECIAL Easter services, with appropriate musical selections, will be conducted by the Rev. E. Tonkin, in the Frankston Methodist Church, on Sunday next, at 11am, and 7pm Rev. A. L. Sherlock will officiate at both services at Somerville. *** MR W. J. Nightingale, of Shepparton, and Messrs Wall and Coghill, of Wilby, visited Frankston during the week and each purchased a building allotment in Frankston. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason advertise having been favoured with instructions from Mr A. E. Kitson to sell the whole of the contents of his 7 roomed villa residence, as well as large iron stables buggy sheds etc, for removal on Saturday 21st April. Further particulars will appear later. *** FROM April 1st the Postal Department will not permit the attaching of stamps to postal notes. When it is necessary to include pence, stamps must be put loose in the letter. No post office will hand over cash for stamps attached to a postal note after Saturday (today.) *** WE note in another column of this issue that the Frankston Motor Garage (Taylor’s) is having a genuine clearing sale of Dunlop rubber goods of every description. We learn that the proprietors have recently been appointed agents, in this district, for the famous Australian firm,

Barnet Glass Rubber Co., and are giving up their agency for Dunlops. This sale is to make room for the new stock now to hand, and some exceptionally good bargains are to be had. *** SIR Wm. Irvine addressed a crowded audience in the Frankston Mechanics Institute on Wednesday evening, and received an enthusiastic welcome. He confined his remarks to the present war policy and the questions arising out of it. At the conclusion a number of questions were asked and answered satisfactorily. *** ATTENTION is directed to Messrs T. R.B. Morton’s sale, to be held at Mornington Junction on Thursday next on account of Messrs H. C. Barclay and J. J. Scott. These gentlemen having sold their properties are disposing of their stock, implements, furniture and sundries. The sale will commence punctually at 11 o’clock. *** D. H. TRENGROVE, a young man who was charged with alleged perjury, by Mrs Hill, in connection with proceedings against him at the Frankston Police Court, on 12th February, for having negligently driven a motor cycle at Chelsea some time previously, whereby he came into collision with Mrs Hill, at the Melbourne General Sessions on Tuesday. The jury found Trengrove not guilty, and he was discharged. The Crown Prosecutor entered a nolle prosequi on the case of Mary Olive

Opie, who had been similarly charged in the same matter. *** MR M. PETERSON, butcher, of Cranbourne, while driving home on Sunday, 25th inst., from Frankston, in a jinker, collided with a motor car coming in the opposite direction. The jinker contained Mrs Peterson and three small children. Fortunately only one child, six years of age was injured, receiving severe scalp wounds, although the other occupants of the jinker were thrown into the roadway. The horse got clear and bolted. The owner of the car drove the injured lad to Frankston, where he was treated by Dr Maxwell and later, was motored home to Cranbourne. The accident occured opposite Mr Herbert Oates’s residence, on the Cranbourne Road. *** ECHOES from the Front. WHERE ARE THE BOYS WE KNOW? Mrs Peebles. Seaford, has received, from her son, Gunner Roland Peebles, a miniature newspaper, printed during the transport’s adventurous trip to England. Mr Censor forbids that we shall reprint the Log in full, but we take the following extracts:– The transport on which we travel is widely known as the Lunatic Ship. The name arises from the numerous tight corners she has managed to turn without running into an enemy “torp.” To the population aboard has been added a monkey, white mice, a legweary looking nanny goat and numerous other mascots.

The man who bought the parrot says he doesn’t feel lonely now. It squawks all day and reminds him of his missus, whom he left in ‘Smelburn’. We are a community of 2,000 people. Those who joined first will have travelled over 14,000 miles. In steaming that distance 4,600 tons of coal will have been consumed. The dimensions of your present home are 517 feet long, 63 feet wide and displaces 21,000 tons of water. We are often inclined to grumble; let us not forget, first, we are not children, but grown men, supposed to be endowed with a little common sense; second - we are at WAR - the real thing, not comic opera war, and instead of grumbling it is both our duty and our work to help each other in every possible way to carry things forward for the benefit of the cause for which we are fighting. Increase in the family on board. No, it wasn’t twins. Simply an avalanch of Victorians and Jolly Jack Tars. One of our beastly tobacco chewing bounders reckons the decks are too crowded – he hasn’t anywhere to spit. In the last casualty list published the name of Private Worral appears among the wounded. Private Roy M’Kenzie has been on furlough and is now back in the firing line. Private Lyle Holland, who previous to enlisting was employed by the Peninsula Motor Garage Pty. Ltd. as a Driver at Frankston, has been wounded in action. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 7 April 1917

Compiled by Cameron McCullough BY the death of the late Cr. Geo. Griffeth, of “Two Bays Nurseries”, Somerville and district has sustained a loss that will be very keenly felt and deplored. Since coming to the district in 1888, when he and his brother commenced the now famous Two Bays Nurseries which is the largest nursery business this side of the Equator, he has identified himself with the district, and as a Councillor of two shires (Frankston and Hastings, and Mornington) for many years, he has been foremost in advancing the district in every possible way, and, as President (which position he held in both shires) he carried out his duties with honor to himself and the municipality. Since the commencement of the war he has been indefatigable in working for the Red Cross and kindred movements, and his heartfelt sympathy with our boys at the front was shown in every possible way. He took a leading part in the annual conference of fruitgrowers, and by his practical and valuable suggestions, helped materially to place the industry in an improved condition. Besides the Two Bays Nurseries the deceased gentleman had 150 acres planted with 2,000,000 trees, and 15,000 trees in the nursery at Moorooduc, as well as several properties in other parts of the State. The remains were brought to his late residence at Somerville, on Sunday, and from there proceeded to Mornington cemetery, where the body was interred. ***

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Belated confessions of a professional procrastinator By Stuart McCullough I SUSPECT it may be too late. I’d heard that one of my high school classmates was expecting a baby and I wanted to do something thoughtful. Instead, I bought the yet-to-be bubba a soft toy; a tiger with silky fur and a big warm grin on its face. All I needed to do was either drop off or post the gift and the transaction would be complete. I figured there was little point in rushing. I could – so I reasoned – do it next weekend. There’d be plenty of time to send through my incredibly thoughtful gift. And so it is that a stuffed toy tiger has been sitting on my bookshelf since 1991. Twenty-six years later, it’s sobering to think that the infant in question probably has children of his own. If I were to send through the toy now it would probably come across as more ‘weird’ than ‘thoughtful’. Not that I should let the fear of being misunderstood discourage me. Not at all. But on the question of whether I should follow through, it’s a tough call. On the one hand, everybody loves getting something through the post. On the other, it’s always unfortunate when good deeds succeed in freaking people out. I know what you’re thinking. Not just because I’m sensitive, emotionally intelligent and surprisingly perceptive but also because I asked President Obama to tap your phones and he’s been sending over the tapes weekly. You’re wondering how an otherwise functional human being can put something off for more than a quarter of a century. It’s easier than you think. For starters, I’ve been busy. Maybe not twenty-six years worth of busy,

but close. There’s barely been time to scratch myself since 1991 which certainly goes a long way to explaining why I feel so itchy all the time. In retrospect, it’s little wonder that I put a few things off for a while.

First, there was grunge. For those of you who may have missed it, the grunge era was deceptively time intensive. I appreciate many will associate the era with ‘slackers’ but nothing could be further from the truth. Grant-

ed, there were fewer trips to the barber for a haircut, but grunge also involved super-charged levels of teenage angst which, for the first time, you were now allowed to wallow in throughout your twenties. Such intensity of emotion burned a lot of time and energy. Truth be told, I spent most of that era feeling exhausted. After grunge, I was knee-deep in existential, pre-millennial anxiety. We all were. In addition to needing to churn through ten seasons of ‘Friends’, there was always the sneaking suspicion that if the apocalypse was ever going to happen, it just might prefer a big round number like ‘2000’. These concerns were fueled by the technology industry who usefully informed us that they’d neglected to use a fourdigit date code meaning that every computer in the universe might stop all at once, bringing life as we know it to an abrupt halt. It didn’t happen, of course, but it left me little in the way of spare time. Since then, there’s been climate change, Brexit and the enduring mystery that is Donald Trump’s hair. These things have – both separately and collectively - occupied my every waking hour and quite a few of my sleeping ones too. All the while, a stuffed toy tiger sat on the bookshelf in my father’s house. Until last week. Recently, I disclosed that my father had finally had enough and asked me and my siblings to collect anything we still wanted before the last of our things were packed up for charity. So it was that, last weekend, I found myself scrutinizing the bookshelf in my old room. It was a strange task. Some books had been prizes. Oth-

ers contained inscriptions from family members. Then there were various knick-knacks that had been shoved between and sometimes behind various books for safekeeping. The snow globe whose watery atmosphere had long since evaporated. The rabbit’s foot that was supposed to bring good luck to everyone except, presumably, the rabbit. The various medallions given to me mostly just for turning up. Then, of course, there was the tiger. Luckily, one of my nephews is a Richmond fan and I persuaded him to keep it. He seemed reluctant. I insisted. Finally, after twenty-six years, I managed to give away the toy tiger, even if not to the recipient I’d originally intended. As I left with a box of books under my arm, I walked past the kitchen. It’s just been renovated and looks fantastic. Gone are the shelves that once hovered over the bench, ensuring that anyone leaning forward would concuss themselves as their forehead collided with a solid piece of timber. But something caught my eye. Off to the side I saw a tin of pasta. Plastic enveloped the rim, indicating that it had never been opened. A use-by date was visible: 30 June 1997. My father had a tin of pasta two decades beyond its use by date. Even when renovating the kitchen, he’d decided to keep it. It hit me with all the force of a poorly positioned kitchen shelf that holding on to the tiger for twenty-five years was not so much a failure on my part but an act of manifest destiny. Clearly, it’s genetic. I’ll be sure to tell my father as much sometime soon. Not that there’s any rush. There never is. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Mornington News 4 April 2017

Macleod, Collyer coach game 400 on Saturday SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie GUS Macleod will coach his 400th league game for Langwarrin on Saturday when his side squares up to South Springvale at Warner Reserve. A constant throughout Macleod’s tenure has been the presence of assistant coach and close friend Neil Collyer. They are in their 19th season at Lawton Park and oversee a heavily revamped senior squad attempting to win its first title since 2004. Manchester-born central defender George Whiteoak, 21, arrives from the UK this week and becomes the 11th newcomer to this year’s senior squad. He is a friend of 23-year-old central defender Kieron Kenny who returned to England last month due to a family bereavement. Whiteoak and Kenny were teammates at Macclesfield Town and more recently at Congleton Town but it is not known whether Kenny will return to Melbourne. Another English import, Connor Belger, stole the show on Saturday and it was thanks to his stunning winner that Langy was able to maintain its State 1 South-East promotion push in a 2-1 come-from-behind win over visitor Morwell Pegasus. The home crowd was stunned in the 28th minute when an Alpha Turay header gave Pegasus the lead. Langy levelled in the 70th minute when a long ball by Speed fell in between substitute Nabil Mozaffaruddin and Alex Metcalfe with the latter striking a low shot past Andersen and into the far corner of the Pegasus goal. The winner came in the 81st minute and was well worth the wait. Belger controlled the ball just inside the Pegasus area on Langy’s right, cut inside then curled his left-foot strike over Andersen and into the top far corner to make it 2-1. Mornington staged a brave second half fightback to earn a 2-2 draw against St Kilda in their State 1 clash at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday. A long header forward allowed Steve McRae to nip in between Mornington central defensive duo Steve Elliott and Josh Valadon and slot the ball past advancing Mornington keeper Kris McEvoy after just 12 minutes and 10 minutes later a long ball downfield saw Valadon outmanoeuvred enabling a suspiciously offside McRae to effect a simple tap-in for his second. Mornington hit back in the 70th minute when St Kilda’s keeper charged off his line but failed to make contact with a long throw. The ball eventually fell to Wayne Gordon on the right of the St Kilda area and his square ball was sidefooted home from close range by Ryan Paczkowski. Four minutes later scores were level after Paczkowski dummied a Nathan Smith corner and Valadon diving low headed the ball home. Mornington continued to press without finding the breakthrough and had to settle for a share of the spoils. Mornington captain Simon Webster is expected to return from injury this week for the home clash with Manningham United and forward Simon Mur is another who could feature in the matchday squad. Harry McCartney reports that a well-executed Paul McGuire free kick in the 80th minute earned Seaford

United a 1-1 draw in Saturday night’s away clash with Heatherton United. The sides remained scoreless at the interval despite an entertaining first period in which Heatherton striker Ali Sanad and Seaford counterpart Dylan Waugh both looked dangerous. Sanad’s free kick 10 minutes into the second half eluded all but teammate Klehic Meldin at the back post and his header opened the scoring. Just when the spark had gone out of the contest a handball just outside the area presented McGuire with his chance and his powerful strike cleared the defensive wall and sailed into the top corner for a stunning reply. Defender Chris McKenna made his debut for State 2 South-East side Peninsula Strikers on Saturday but his team went down 3-2 at home to Berwick City. Erkam Filiz gave Berwick the lead in the 35th minute but a stunning 30-metre strike from Strikers’ midfielder Danny Brooks five minutes into the second half made it 1-1. Berwick restored its lead six minutes later after Ruben Ichim capitalised on a mix-up between Troy Williams and Grant Davies and broke through to slot the ball past Strikers’ keeper Colin McCormack. Gary Davidson made it 3-1 in the 69th minute and Strikers’ substitute Trevor Johnston capped an excellent interpassing move with a fine back post header in the 81st minute to make it 3-2.

A major loss for Strikers was the stomach muscle injury to star hitman Aziz Bayeh which forced him off in the second half and may sideline him for a fortnight. Frankston Pines hopes to resolve the international clearance wrangle involving Mauritian stars Christopher L’Enclume and Cedric Permal in time for this weekend’s away clash with Berwick City. Pines suffered a 4-1 home loss on Saturday to Eltham Redbacks despite taking an early lead. In the 15th minute a Sebastian Gueho cross from the left was met by Ben Millward whose header was tipped onto the bar by the Redbacks’ keeper and Munib Mohamed finished off the rebound to make it 1-0 for Pines. A couple of minutes later scores were tied after a superb looping header at the back post by Andrew McLean sent the ball into the top far corner. Mili Muratbegovic’s 41st minute strike gave Eltham the half-time lead and McLean’s second in the 65th minute gave the visitors a two-goal buffer. In the 88th minute Matty Davies lost possession and Bradley James was sent through and he slotted the ball home to complete the scoreline. Pines’ defender Graham Hill is back from suspension this week and the club is in talks with a central defender. Skye United kicked off its 2017 State League 3 South-East campaign with an emphatic 6-2 away win over

Dingley Stars on Saturday. With the game rescheduled at Kingston Heath Soccer Complex, the hosts struck first in the 34th minute. However Skye captain Mark O’Connor cancelled out the opener in the same minute, wrong footing the Dingley keeper and scoring from the edge of the area through a sea of bodies. Parity didn’t last long and a swift break saw Dingley regain its lead only minutes before half-time. A five-goal second half barrage turned the game on its head and Skye’s goalfest started in the 54th minute when a Daniel Attard flick on enabled Nick Theodore to run on and finish with a strike into the bottom corner. In the 64th minute Endeavour United recruit Jason Nowakowski followed up O’Connor’s free-kick which rattled the crossbar, nodding in from close range. Two minutes later Attard made it four after Nowakowski’s cutback found the lanky striker inside the area and he volleyed past the Dingley keeper from a tight angle. Attard assisted substitutes Mohammad Elhassan and Sean Ellicott to add two late goals to complete the rout. Rosebud Heart is in uncharted territory after losing consecutive league games but despite losing Saturday’s State 4 South away clash 3-2 to Endeavour United its performance was a vast improvement on the previous

week’s derby loss to Baxter. Heart went into this clash without Daniel Hodge, Adam Poole and Chris Sibson who were at a wedding and Hodge will have his tonsils removed on Friday so he’ll miss next weekend’s clash with Noble Park. Endeavour made Heart pay for losing possession in midfield early in the first half when it broke forward quickly and Sebastian Goyenecha slotted the ball past advancing Heart keeper Sean Skelly. Heart’s star striker Dave Greening hit back in the 33rd minute when he flicked a Blake Hicks’ cross past a defender then finished from a one-onone with the Endeavour keeper. Four minutes later Heart went in front when a Ryan Monk volley could only be parried and Greening hammered the ball into the roof of the net. But scores were level in the 39th minute when Heart again lost possession in midfield and a Dalveer Jandu strike made it 2-2. Four minutes into the second stanza an excellent counter down the right and a cross was finished with a close range header by Ifelowoa Ogidan for the decisive goal. On a positive note Italian midfielder Marco Cannella played half a game in the reserves and came off the bench in the second half of the senior game. Baxter drew 2-2 at home in its State 4 South fixture against Noble Park last weekend with Jake Kidder scoring Baxter’s goals. Somerville Eagles travelled to West Gippsland on Saturday only to go down 2-1 to Drouin Dragons in their State 5 South clash. Eagles took a 1-0 lead into the break thanks to a 32nd-minute opener from Jarryd Lymer. Brett Young impressed in his senior debut and the youngster drove the ball across the face of the Dragons’ goal for Lymer’s simple tap-in. The home team hit back in the second half with goals to Mark Rossi and Daniel Patchett to seal the Eagles’ fate. “We dominated for the first 45 minutes and could easily have gone in at half-time three or four goals up but we capitulated in the second half,” said Eagles’ coach Neil Herd. Herd has only had 11 senior players at his disposal for the opening two rounds but expects to have a matchday squad of 15 to face Casey Panthers next weekend and there’s a chance that he could bring two more debutants into the starting 11. This weekend’s games: FRIDAY, 8.30pm: Doncaster Rovers v Peninsula Strikers (Anderson Park). SATURDAY, 3pm: Mornington v Manningham Utd Blues (Dallas Brooks Park), Sth Springvale v Langwarrin (Warner Reserve), Doveton v Seaford Utd (Waratah Reserve), Skye Utd v Brighton (Skye Recreational Reserve), Noble Park v Rosebud Heart (Norman Luth Reserve), Bayside Argonauts v Baxter (Shipston Reserve), Somerville Eagles v Casey Panthers (Somerville Secondary College).

YCW predicted to have a bumper 2017 PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Toe Punt IT’S hard not to get excited about the 2017 Peninsula Division season. All clubs have worked tirelessly over the summer to improve their lists and it’s exciting to report that all have achieved their objective. Without question, this is going to be the most competitive season in years. Those that were hoping that Frankston YCW would slip will be saddened by the fact that they have recruited arguably the best Nepean Division defender of the past 10 years in Christian Ongarello, while they have also picked up a 21 monster who stands at 205cm and weight-in at 115kg. The Stonecats do have nine listed players in the VFL, including Ryan Santon, BJ Credlin, Lachy Wallace, Anthony Bruhn and ‘Bundy’ Barry. Whilst they’ll be the team to beat, they won’t be as strong as last season. The team who led at half time in the grand final against YCW, Mt Eliza, had some deficiencies that seem to have been remedied – ruckman Grant Goodall was a must-get, Brett O’Hanlon was playing AFL a handful of years ago and Shane Tennant arrives with big wraps. The Mounties pre-season form wasn’t great but don’t be fooled, there’s no need to be great in March. Pines has kept its stars and Paul Scanlon is leaner and fitter than ever. With a goal-to-goal line of Edwards, Bongetti, Potts, Hendry and Hendry, they’ll be hard to beat. Chelsea has added some quality to their list, including a late pick-up in Daly Shannon, who comes with big wraps from the Northern Territory. Karingal has picked up some good players but have lost more. Bonbeach has topped-up with real talent, including former Saint Trent Dennis-Lane and Edithvale has been aggressive in their recruiting and the likes of Bowden, Clark and Tagg will be huge ins. Michael Bussey is a gun! Langwarrin appears to be the only club not to have had much luck in the recruiting stakes, whilst Mornington has been quieter than usual too, although Xavier Barry-Murphy has huge wraps. The team I expect will be a bolter in 2017 is Seaford. The Tigers improved

rapidly as the season went on last season and they have added some real A-Grade talent – Brayden Irving is said to be flying! Bonbeach Ins: Trent Dennis-Lane (VAFA), Jason Ferraro (Central Highlands), Tom Stephens (Chelsea), Gavin Vassallo (North Central), Sam Williams (SFL), Ryan Eaton (Ellinbank FL) Outs: Nick Alexandrou (Hampden FL), Chris Bryan (Keysborough). Injuries to key players at key times hurt the Sharks last season and they’ll be looking for a better run in 2017. Trent Dennis-Lane, who has played at the highest level, is the obvious key to their pre-season movements, whilst they still have arguably the best player in the competition in Shane McDonald. Chris Bryan will be a loss considering his value deep forward. The Sharks won’t challenge for the title but they’ll play a role in who plays finals. Chelsea Ins: Brendan Dess (VAFA), Jack Gaze (Heathcote), Rhys Hensel (Tallangatta), Simon Mitchelhill (O&M), Matthew Mitchell (Essendon FL), Daniel Monforte (SFL), Aaron Pawel (Edi-Asp), Trent Styles (Karingal), Daly Shannon (NT) Outs: Beau Caia (Goulburn Valley FL), Ryan & Michael Dyer (Southern FL), Hudson Thomas (eastern FL). The Gulls have been super active in the pre-season and the result has been some more than handy recruits. Offfield stability was as important to the Chelsea FC as on-field success and they have been able to enter the 2017 season with everyone committed and on the same page. The hoops are starting from a long way back though and whilst they’ll find more consistency and make-up some ground, finals isn’t a reality. Edi-Asp Ins: Brent Bowden (Foster), Tom Burley (SFL), Michael Bussey (Eastern FL), Matt Clark (Foster), Dermot Cleary (VAFA), Ryde Love-Linay (VAFA), Rhett Moor (Foster), Brad Tagg (Foster), James Van-Minnen (SFL), Callan Vandyke (Foster), Tim Yeowart (SFL). Outs: Lachlan Batten (Doveton), Shaun Jamieson (Eastern FL), Zac Muscialli (Dromana), Aaron pawel (Chelsea).

One thing we do know is that the Eagles are well coached. Personnel was an issue last season and they were a bit lean in their stocks. Some more than handy returns in Clark, Bowden and Tagg will make a difference while Bussey and Burley are significant ins. The Eagles did put a lot into Batten, however, and he doing a backflip and returning to Doveton has hurt their unlikely premiership aspirations. Frankston YCW Ins: Christian Ongarello (Dromana), Lachy Williams (Nepean), Macklin Raine (Maffra) Outs: Jordan Alves (Tyabb), Aidan Fischer (Seaford). Anyone who goes into this season not having Frankston YCW as premiership favourite needs to consider counselling. The Stonecats have lost some quality to the VFL, however, they have enormous talent underneath and have added one of the best defenders in the game in Christian Ongarello. Anthony Bruhn did a pre-season at Bulldogs, BJ Credlin at Richmond and Ryan Santon at Sandringham. Karingal Ins: Damien Ashcroft (Paynesville), Paul Hopes (Northern FL), Andrew McInnes (Carlton), Chris McInnes (Devon Meadows), Steven Mihvec (Devon Meadows), Jesse Ramirez (VAFA), Aisea Valenti (Dolphins), Jacob Duscher (Dolphins) Outs: Harry Czarnecki (Southern FL), Grant Goodall (Mt Eliza), Anthony Joel (Ellinbank), Aaron Paxton (Sorrento), Leigh Poholke (Sorrento), Travis Puntaroni (South East FL), Tom Wilkinson (Murray FL) The Bulls will continue their improvement this season with some good recruits. Andrew McInnes from Carlton is the obvious big time get, while Damien Ashcroft and Aisea Valenti from Dolphins are big ins too. They would have liked to have hungon to quality teenagers Czarnecki and Puntaroni, while skipper Paxton, Wilkinson and Goodall are significant outs. Karingal will improve a little but don’t expect too much movement up the ladder. Langwarrin Ins: Jason Curry (Frankston Bombers), Jack Henderson (Devon Meadows), Owen Uaongo (SFL), Outs: Ryan Smyth (Dromana), Kyle

Bussuttil-Ingliss (Dromana), Dylan Luxa (Eastern FL), Mark McGill (AFL QLD) The Kangas were the surprise packet last season, given all of their exits during the 2016 pre-season. Kids were given an opportunity and despite a couple of horror defeats, were genuinely competitive. Most teams in the competition have recruited well in the off-season and will improve. The Kangas haven’t been successful in the recruitment stakes and this will see them stagnate. Langwarrin will be looking for further improvement from the young talent but it won’t be enough not to finish bottom three. Mornington Ins: Michael Barnes (Yarra Ranges), Xavier Barry-Murphy (Eastern FL), Rhys Healey (Bendigo FL), Brett McLeary (West Gippsland), Peter McGettigan (Central Highlands), Chris Williams (VAFA), Outs: Michael Altenkirch (Tyabb), James Cameron (AFL Townsville), Ryan O’Dell (Eastern FL), Barry Smeeton (AFL QLD), Ben Wells (Alberton FL), The Doggies have lost some topend talent in the pre-season and the likes of Jimmy Cameron, Smeeton and O’Dell won’t be easy to replace. Coach Chris Holcombe is a craftsman though and always has the ability to pull a rabbit out of the hat. Mornington flew home last season and was one of the best performed teams after a slow and disappointing start – don’t expect a warm up this season from the boys in the kennel. A practice match victory over Hastings suggests the Doggies will be right in it. Mt Eliza: Ins: Grant Goodall (Karingal), Brett O’Hanlon (Golden Rivers FL), Shane Tennant (Eastern FL), Outs: Jack Cole (Southern FL), Matt Neratzoglou (VAFA), At half time in the 2016 Grand Final, Mt Eliza looked the better team and many were justified in their thoughts that they would go on and win the flag. Whilst they were beaten, the Mounties know that they’re not far off. This would have spurred them during the pre-season. They have some of the best young talent in the competition and have added genuine A-Graders in Goodall, O’Hanlon and Tennant. With a year under the belt and knowing what to expect, the best

coach in the business in Troy Shannon will have them right where he needs them at the right time. Pines Ins: Damien Lawrence (Seaford), Lachy Marshall (Pearcedale), Taylor Meyer (Southern FL), Ben Thomas (Alberton FL), Byron Tovara (Southern FL), Jordan Waite (Southern FL), Shaun White (Ellinbank). Outs: The Pythons couldn’t afford to lose anyone in the off-season, given their skinny list, and all indications are that they have kept them all, except for a couple of retirements. Pines has been big on recruiting young talent to the club to ensure sustainable success and the likes of Lawrence and Marshall fit that bill. Shaun White returns too, which is great news. We know Pines has arguably the best four players in the competition in Aaron Edwards, Luke Potts, Paul Scanlon (has dropped seven kilos) and Tim Bongetti and if they can play every game, then Pines should be there when the whips are cracking again. Seaford Ins: Jack Ball (Southern FL), Aiden Fischer (Frankston YCW), Daniel Lewis (Ovens & King FL), Matthew McCormack (Eastern FL), Damien Rayson (VAFA), Nick Shannon (Southern FL), Tom Shaw (Somerville), Brayden Irving (Dolphins). Outs: Damien Lawrence (Pines), Seaford progressed very nicely under first year coach Ben Murphy last season and you can expect the improvement to continue in 2017. Seaford will be the bolter this season and leap into the top three with some more than handy recruits, led by ruckman Nick Shannon from Narre Warren, Matthew McCormack from the Eastern FL (Norwood), Damien Rayson from the Ammos and century goal kicker Daniel Lewis joins the returning Tommy Shaw in the forward line. Brayden Irving returns from the Dolphins, Mark Di Blasio from a knee and Dean Williamson from an ankle. 2017 Ladder Prediction: Frankston YCW, Mt Eliza, Pines, Seaford, Edithvale, Bonbeach, Mornington, Karingal, Chelsea, Langwarrin

Frankston tipped to top Nepean in 2017 NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt Season 2017 brings with it a real air of excitement. There are four new coaches in the competition - Leigh Stewart at Pearcedale, Bevan Malloy at Somerville, Brad Arnold at Crib Point and Adrian McBean at Rosebud – all are expected to have positive impacts on their clubs. Round 1 is mouth-watering and in many ways will tell a lot about what we can expect from teams this season. Tyabb has the benefit of playing last week against Hastings when it faces Crib Point this week. The Yabbies have added some talent and the Pies have lost some – mainly in ruckman James Cook. Frankston hosts Dromana – what a great first-up game for the Tigers to see where they’re at against the side many believe are certainties for the premiership. Bombers pre-season

form has been sensational, beating Frankston YCW, Mt Eliza and Bonbeeach, all Peninsula finals teams last season. The Tigers needed some height and strength around the footy and they have been able to get that. Pearcedale and Devon Meadows go toe-to-toe. The hoops are probably on the rise and Devon had 20-odd players apply for a clearance from their club. Somerville, which has lost three starting forwards and three starting defenders from their best 2016 side, host Red Hill, who have recruited a couple. Rosebud, which finished third last season, hosts the team many believe will make a significant move – Sorrento. The Buds have a new coach and that will make a significant difference. Sorrento has recruited nothing but A-Graders and will be right there when the whips are cracking. Finally, the premiers, Hastings,

who have added a couple, play host to Rye, who have lost the fab-four, as well as Brady Egan. There’s more questions than answers as we head into Round 1, however, things should present a little clear at 5pm on Saturday. Let’s take a look at the ins and outs. Crib Point Ins: Elliot Avis (VAFA), Mitchell Chopping (Peninsula Div), Aaron King (Hastings), Ben King (Hastings), Outs: James Cook (Alberton), Lee Koerner (Somerville), Kain Stratton (Hastings) The general feeling among the Magpies in 2017 under new ‘first time’ coach Brad Arnold is that kids are going to be given every opportunity. There hasn’t been a lot of recruiting in the off-season and the loss of ruckman James Cook and run-with player Kain Stratton will be signifi-

cant. Don’t expect too much ladder movement. Devon Meadows Ins: Matthew Italiano (Essendon FL), Allan Murray (Eastern FL), Outs: Jack Hazendonk (Poowong), Chris Doria (Poowong), Alex Doria (Poowong), Mitch Bond (Elinbank), Rhys Shortis (Elinbank), Craig Thorne (Elinbank), Troy Aust (South East FL), Josh Stewart (South East FL), Jayden Sullivan (South East FL), Brandon Wapshot (South East FL), Corey Walker (South East FL), Brodie White (South East FL), Tyrone Achilies, Brayden Calvert (VAFA), Nathan Dumergue (Southern FL), Kai Phillipson (Southern FL), Dean Smith (Yarra Ranges), Steven Mihvec (Karingal), Chris & Andrew McInnes (Karingal), Dylan Hand (retired), Glenn Michie (retired), Steven Roberts (retired), Marcus Roberts (retired), Jack Henderson (Langwarrin). The big story of the pre-season has been the huge amount of clearances

requested from Devon Meadows. The last time we saw something like this in the MPNFL was at Karingal and they now are only getting back on their feet. Activity long before Christmas suggested then that Devon players were having meetings with other clubs and yours truly was hearing from various sources that between 1015 players were considering a move. I was publicly smashed for sharing the information, however, it appears now that the information presented was unfortunately conservative. In further worrying news, the club was also advertising for Under 19s prior to the season. Unfortunately for the Panthers, the season is going to be a lean one. Dromana Ins: Jacob Barker (Southern FL), Kyle Busuttil-Inglis, Ryan Smyth (Langwarrin), Cameron Carmody (Yarra Ranges), Jeremy Daniel (Tyabb), Zac Muscialli (Edi-Asp), Continued next page Mornington News 4 April 2017

Continued from previous page Outs: Rohan Bleeker (Elinbank), Christian Ongarello (YCW). One should not underestimate the significant loss of multiple Team of the Year player Christian Ongarello. ‘Onga’ provides enormous leadership and allowed the coach Rikki Johnston to swing. They needed some support for Beau Cosson and got it in the form of Cameron Carmody. They also needed some grunt around the footy – enter Zac Muscialli from Edithvale. The Tigers will be knocking on the door again but not loud enough to break-in. Frankston Ins: Mitch Bosward (Central Murray), Corey Buchan (Dolphins), Alex Harnett (Pearcedale), Jay Reynolds (Central Murray). Outs: Nil Many believe that Frankston Bombers is the flag favourite going into the 2017 season. It has recruited extremely well and the pre-season form has been faultless. Without question, on paper, the Bombers are the best side in it. There is only one way up for the Bombers and that is to go one step better. There’s no question they will have learned a lot from last season and will be better prepared. Hastings Ins: Ricky Ferraro (Central Highlands), James Marasco (Yarra Ranges), Kain Stratton (Crib Point), Outs: Damien Stone (Southern FL), Ben & Aaron King (Crib Point). The Blues have added some real talent to a list that was the best side in the finals series in 2016 and ultimately won the premiership. Things clicked for the Blues in the final six weeks of the season and many say they started playing the ‘Brendan Dunne way’. 2017 is about hunger. If the hunger is still as strong to go back-to-back, they

have to be the team to beat. Pearcedale Ins: Billy Bryant (Colac), Caleb Cox, Harrison Thompson, Dylan Ryan, Jake Ryan (Somerville), Basil Sibasado (West Gippsland). Outs: Alex Harnett (Bombers), Chris Irving (Red Hill), Dean Janssen (Eastern FL), Lachy Marshall (Pines). A new coach in the experienced Leigh Stewart will bring some renewed enthusiasm. ‘Stewy’ is an experienced, tactical campaigner, however, he is also old-fashioned and a traditionalist. ‘Stewy’ won’t try and over complicate the game style and will play to his team’s strengths. Expect a more consistent Dales that will trouble some sides, however, they won’t push for a place in the top five. Red Hill Ins: Ben Hughes (Gippsland FL), Chris Irving (Pearcedale) Outs: Harry Larwill (VAFA), Two big ‘ins’ in Ben Hughes and Chris Irving are going to make the Hillmen a much better side. The enigmatic Harry Larwill leaves, which will rob coach Tony Blackford of a player who can play both ends. The Hillmen led the eventual 2016 premier midway through an elimination final. They should be there again, however, they will need some luck along the way. Rosebud Ins: Felix Dunn, Oliver Dunn (Ellinbank), Keiran Eddington (VAFA), Brayden Glaum (VAFA), Hamish Martin (AFL North Coast), Jake McBean (AFL Barwon), Rhys McLennan (Bendigo FL), Seth O’Reily (Central Gippsland), Ed Schellander (Essendon FL), Bart Wallace (Yarra Ranges), Tyler Sinclair (Heathcote) Outs: Lachy Armstrong (Golden Rivers), Glen Boyington (Maryborough), Cody Mulcair (Maryborough), Nick Boswell (Pines).

The Buds have recruited quite well and will no doubt benefit from having a new coach in the very experienced Adrian McBean. The Buds have a wealth of talent and given the right direction, will have sustained success for years. Their best is potent and even under trying circumstances last season, still finished top three. The Buds are definitely part of premiership discussions. Rye Ins: Rhys Burns (Sorrento), Tim Churchin (AFL Cairns), Harley Cole (Sunraysia), Zac Little (Eastern FL), Jari McDonald (North Gippsland), Gabrielle Nicolla (Red Hill), Renton Sanderson (Sorrento), Dekodda Thomson-Irvin (Sorrento), Ben Trivett (VAFA), Jamie Turner (Alberton), Oscar Whitty (Mt Eliza) Outs: Nathan Henley, Ryan Mullett, Dean Millhouse, Simon Taylor, (Southern FL), Harry Crowe (VAFA), Brady Egan (North East FL). It’s going to be a very, very tough year for Rye. The Demons have lost the big connection in Henley, Mullet, Millhouse and Bardon and have not replaced them. Its best young talent in Brady Egan has also gone. There’s a concentration on youth at the club, which is great for the future, however, it will take time to deliver any results. There’s no way the Demons will win more than they lose. Somerville Ins: Andres Everitt (Carlton), Lee Koerner (Crib Point) Outs: Luke Collie (Mid-Gippsland), Calex Cox (Pearecdale), Ben Crowe (VAFA), Tom Shaw (Seaford), Adam Rose (VAFA), Dylan & Jake Ryan (Pearcedale), Caleb Cox (Pearcedale), Scott Simpson (WAFL), Michael Towan (VAFA), Todd Farrelly (retired), Luke Rowe (Overseas).

James Tomlinson (South East FL), Tyson Wilson (VAFA). Outs: Adrian Clay (Maryborough), Jeremy Daniel (Dromana), Corey Buchan (Bombers). The Yabbies have continued their successful recruiting drive in the off-season, adding young talent to ensure long-term sustainability. Coach Mark Paganoni and his support team should be commended. They have thought outside the square (Daniel Kerr against Hastings) and looked at ways to bring the right attention to the club. The Yabbies were very competitive for the most part last season and they’ll be looking to improve on that for the full season. The Yabbies will win a few games.

lies. David Hirst steps aside as coach and the experienced and highly-decorated Bevan Malloy comes in, despite not coaching for a handful of years. They lose forwards Luke Rowe, Ben Crowe and Tom Shaw, as well as key defenders Todd Farrelly, Luke Collie and Scott Simpson. The Ryan’s also head to Pearcedale. Andres Everitt will be a great recruit but he can’t be everywhere. The Eagles will be the side that drops out for the expense of Sorrento. Sorrento Ins: Chris Dawes (Melbourne), Troy Schwarze (Kyabram), Daniel Grant (AFL QLD), Andrew Lovett (Sunraysia), Justin McCleary (Ellinbank), Aaron Paxton (Karingal), Leigh Poholke (Karingal), Outs: Rob Forrest (Avon FL), Brodie Webb (Mid Gippsland), There has been no bigger talk in the pre-season than Sorrento. Whilst the Sharks have done their very best to keep things low key, it’s hard to do so when you recruit an AFL premiership player in Chris Dawes. Poholke returns to get the third or fourth best defender, while Paxton and McLeary are recruited to strengthen the defence. Then two of the best running defenders the game has seen at local level in Daniel Grant and Troy Schwarze decide to return – and did we mention Andrew Lovett! The Sharks will be the bolter. Tyabb Ins: Jordan Alves (YCW), Michael Altenkirch (Mornington), Luke Bakker (South East FL), Jed Benham (South East FL), Nick Cox (Peninsula), Jesse Day (South East FL), Matt Grazules (South East FL), Matt Harvey-Sich (South East FL), Jarryd Hendrikx (West Gippsland), Ben Little (South East FL), Jordan Pollard (VAFA), Matt Shaw (South East FL),

Imogen eyes volleyball goals By Stephen Taylor LIFE revolves around a court – either indoors or at the beach – for Mornington volleyballer Imogen Barron-Toop. When she’s not diving for the ball or smashing a return she’s probably thinking about it. Imogen, 15, heads to Perth on Wednesday to compete in the Victorian beach volleyball team. She will stay on to train at the Australian beach volleyball camp before going to Thailand to play for Australia in the junior women’s development team, this time in indoor volleyball. Imogen, in Year 10 at Haileybury College, plays for Eastside Hawks in Dandenong. It’s no picnic: she trains

three or four times a week at the Eastern Institute of Volleyball in Croydon and then plays once or twice a week in the middle position. Last year, Imogen competed in the under-16 school sport Victoria state volleyball team which won silver, after a stint in the under-17 state development team competition. She also took part in the Australian junior women’s development training camp, at Churchill, in Victoria, with 50 girls from all over Australia. There is a big future in the sport and Imogen hopes to pick up a US college volleyball scholarship and, eventually, play the sport professionally. To achieve this she is compiling

a CV – much of it on video – showing footage of her skills in competition. As has become customary for sport’s high-achievers, she will apply for the scholarship in mid year 12 and then prepare for tests in the hope of being accepted. As her mother Francesca said, acceptance will depend on her grades. “She’d love to play professionally,” Ms Barron-Toop said. “It’s not cheap, and Imogen, who is self-funded, is looking for sponsorships to help defray costs.” The Volleyroos – the Australian women’s national volleyball team – might just have a new member soon.

Peninsula Pirates race to swim win CAMARADERIE and living active lifestyles lie at the heart of open water swimming – and central to that is an annual swim challenge between three groups who took to the waters off Mornington last week. The Peninsula Pirates, Mt Martha Icebergers and Brighton Icebergers raced each other over the 2.5km course off Mornington Lifesaving Club, Sunday 26 March. The Heavyweight Champions of the Bay races have been run for the past eight years and are described by organiser Nicole Chester as being “mostly light hearted with a strong dash of competitiveness – or as competitive as the odd 30, many 40s, more 50s and a sprinkling of 60-yearolds can be”. Falling water temperatures added an element of “toughness” to the occasion. “The event was a success, with about 50 swimmers from the three clubs competing,” Ms Chester said. “The score was previously four wins each between the Brighton Icebergers and Peninsula Pirates, with the Mt

Martha club only new to the race over the past couple of years. This time the Peninsula Pirates won, tipping the score to 5-4 their way. “Unfortunately for Brighton, quite a few of their quick swimmers are out injured while the Peninsula Pirates were in prime form and had a very strong representation. Water conditions were perfect.”

autumn HOME MAKER A legacy of service and range PENINSULA Mowers has been owned and run by the Weatherley family for the past decade, with original owners Brian and Patricia purchasing the business as a legacy for their family. The passing of Brian has triggered daughter Elizabeth, and her partner Aamon, to purchase the business from Patricia and continue the legacy that her father began years ago. “Mum and dad created the business when dad was 70 as a future for us. We want to let everyone know we are still here and running Peninsula Mowers, with the same great and friendly service, and an even better range of products,” said Elizabeth, who has worked in the shop for ten years this year. “Aamon does the servicing and mechanical side, while Nina and I work in

the shop, and it is working out really well.” Peninsula Mowers stocks brands like Honda, Stihl, Masport, Wolf Garden, and Atom Edges. “We sell a huge range of power equipment including snippers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, and all your garden needs, as well as lawn mowers,” said Elizabeth. “We have the brand new Stihl battery range which means no fuel mixing and no chords. They are very convenient and great for safety as well.” Peninsula Mowers is at 119 Mornington Tyabb Road, Mornington. Open Monday to Friday 8am till 5pm and Saturday 8am till 1pm.

Undercover Blinds have your windows covered

12344823-RC14-17

THE team at Undercover Blinds has over 100 years combined experience within the blinds and awnings industry. If you are looking for a quality solution to your outdoor shade project, they can help. With their years of experience in the industry you will have the expert advice you need for a successful project. Owner, Chris Reynolds, started Undercover Blinds in 2007 primarily as an installations company, and then two years later he saw a decent opportunity in specialized external applications. “The team at Undercover Blinds have arranged many award winning installations as we are all about awnings and blinds. We are passionate about supplying high quality products for our customer’s particular application,” said Chris. “Our core products are folding arm awnings and the next biggest would be alfresco blinds, where you put blinds around the outside area to create a room.” Chris says the most on trend product at the moment would have to be the all season’s retractable roofing system. “This system is without a doubt the next big thing. It has become extremely popular for outdoor areas and some people are designing their alfresco areas around it. We have been doing these retractable roofs for 20 years but lately they have become one of the most popular products. You can use them on large areas of small patios,” said Chris. Undercover Blinds has always had a strong focus on quality which Chris is proud to say continues today. “Our company is built to a standard and not a price. There is a strong focus on quality and expertise in everything we do. We primarily focus on the Mornington Peninsula from Mordialloc to Portsea.” Undercover Blinds specialise in all outdoor awnings and blinds. They are open Monday to Friday from 7.30am till 5.30pm, and Saturday by appointment. Undercover Blinds is at Factory 21/61 Frankston Gardens Drive, Carrum Downs.

Tim + Tam Bathrooms TIM+Tam Bathrooms has established themselves as the ‘go to’ for smart builders and renovators on the peninsula when they want the modern look without the modern price tag. Tim and Tam Coady started down in Rosebud nine years ago where they built a substantial customer base through their excellent customer service and attention to detail. Last year they made the move to Mornington to a new showroom where they’ve been able to create a space that feels like a funky Richmond warehouse and customers are free to roam and get a feel for their new bathroom before making any big decisions. The working shower wall is a highlight for most customers (both big and small). One year on and it’s all about to get bigger and better with the addition of the new banner Multitude. Multitude is a multifaceted construction supply company who can supply everything from windows, kitchens, flooring and wardrobe fitouts, to what Tim+Tam do best, bathroom and

kitchenware. The addition of Multitude means even better prices, quality and style for their customers. “Our new supply chain is much larger than anything we’ve done before,” says Tim, who is excited about the change coming to the Mornington Store. “Where before we were only selling to our Mornington customers we now sell to large development companies and the end result is amazing prices for our retail consumers.” So what does this mean for the little bathroom shop on the corner? Tim+Tam will soon change their signage to Multitude and customers are already reaping the rewards with new, on trend products arriving weekly at never before seen prices. If you’re building or renovating make sure you drop in, you won’t be disappointed. Tim + Tam Bathrooms is at corner of Watt Road and Bruce Street, Mornington.
