Hunt under pressure of coup fallout Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au JULIA Banks finally broke cover on Thursday last week with an “announcement” that had been rumoured for weeks: she will stand as an independent candidate for Flinders at the May federal election. In doing so, Ms Banks will campaign against her former Liberal colleague, Greg Hunt, who has held the seat since 2001. Adding fuel to the Flinders electoral ire, it was leaked Friday afternoon that Labor’s candidate would be broadcaster and head of journalism at the Australian College of the Arts, Rosebud-born, Tracee Hutchison. Labor sources would not confirm her candidature, but said the party’s administrative committee would make an announcement Friday (February 8). Statistically, it seems an uphill battle for Ms Banks as Mr Hunt won more than 50 per cent of the primary votes at the 2016 election. Ms Banks says she has yet to determine where her preferences would go, but it would be a strange move to allocate them towards her main adversary, Mr Hunt. Ms Banks – an outsider who won the former Labor stronghold of Chisholm for the Liberals at the 2016 election – believes Mr Hunt has lost support because of his role in last August’s coup that saw Malcolm Turnbull lose his prime ministership. Mr Hunt sought the deputy leadership in the failed bid led by Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton to become prime minister. Ms Banks has dubbed Mr Hunt as Mr Dutton’s wingman. A second round of voting saw Scott Morrison take the helm and keep Mr Hunt as Health Minister and Mr Dutton as Home Affairs Minister. In November, Ms Banks renounced her Liberal credentials and moved to the crossbench, further destabilising the Morrison-led government. On Friday last week, several of Ms Banks’s former parliamentary colleagues were accusing her of betrayal and “seat shopping”. It was also re-

vealed that Malcolm Turnbull’s son Alex was “involved” in her bid to oust Mr Hunt, who holds Flinders with a comfortable margin of 7.8 per cent. It is Mr Hunt’s support for Mr Dutton that Julia Banks believes will give her the votes she needs to win Flinders as well as changes in electorate boundaries and the fact that she’s “not a member of any political elite”. More uncertainty about Mr Hunt’s popularity with voters follows the November state election Labor landslide that saw the Liberals lose the southern peninsula seat of Nepean, which provides a large part of his support base. However, Ms Banks says she is not underestimating the number of Mr Hunt’s supporters and the Liberal Party’s willingness to “put a lot of money in” to ensure his political survival. Mr Morrison on Friday reportedly “laughed off” the threat by independents like Ms Banks while asserting that Mr Hunt had “worked like a Trojan for his community”. “People in their communities back people who’ve worked for their communities, worked in their communities, ” Mr Morrison said. Mr Hunt’s message on the day, repeated on radio, television and in newspapers, was summed up by the first sentence of a statement issued by his office: “I will continue to work hard delivering for the people of Flinders.” His statement did not mention Ms Banks or why he felt the need to even make a statement. Mr Hunt and Ms Banks (who says Mr Hunt has not spoken to her since September) have both been emphasising their “local” credentials when interviewed by the media. Mr Hunt was born and educated on the peninsula; his children were born at the hospital where his wife had worked and now attend local schools. Ms Banks and her husband Michael have owned a house at Red Hill for over 20 years. Her parents lived in Mornington for many years: her father until his death in 2007, and her mother until only a couple of years ago. When announcing her departure from Liberal ranks in November, Ms Banks was scathing of “members of the [Liberals’] reactionary right wing”

Julia Banks claiming “the coup was aided by many MPs trading their vote for a leadership change in exchange for their individual promotion”. “Their actions were undeniably for themselves, for their position in the party, their power, their personal ambition, not for the Australian people who we represent, not for what people voted for in the 2016 election, not for stability, and disregarding that teamwork and unity delivers success. “The Liberal Party has changed.

tionary and regressive right wing who talk about and talk to themselves, rather than listening to the people.” Even though she is standing as an independent, Ms Banks last Friday told The News that she still held to “centre liberal values”, something the coup plotters had forsaken in the name of ambition. She frequently, and admiringly, refers to former foreign affairs minister Julie Bishop, whose political ascendency took a backward step as a result of the coup. Ms Banks says the plotters have nev-

er explained their reasons for the coup. “It was all about ambition and selfinterest, there was no business case for it. There are still no answers as to why they got rid of Turnbull.” A former corporate lawyer, Ms Banks opposes Labor’s proposed changes to dividend tax policy and negative gearing. She is critical of her former party’s about-face on climate change issues. Ms Banks is certain “traditional Liberal voters are fed up; too many politicians take people for fools”.

Police put brake on car crimes Brodie Cowburn brodie@mpnews.com.au DETECTIVES from the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston have charged 26 people as part of Operation Pandora which targets vehicle crime. Seventeen of those charged since the operation began on 7 January have been remanded in custody and several stolen cars and large amounts of property recovered. Charges include aggravated burglary, burglary, theft of a motor car, theft from a motor car, reckless conduct endangering life, and obtaining property by deception. Those charged will appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date. They include a Frankston North man, 25, on 40 counts, a Hastings man, 27 (10 counts), a Langwarrin man, 29 (30 counts), and a Baxter man, 23 (16 counts). High-end cars stolen on the peninsula over the Christmas and New Year period included a Range Rover from Mt Martha and a Porsche from Safety Beach. Both cars had been left unlocked with the keys inside. Detective Senior Sergeant Stephen McKenzie, of Frankston CIU, said the operation was started to “combat a large spike in vehicle crime”. “The term vehicle crime does not adequately explain the danger and cost to the local community,” he said. “In the holiday period we have had criminals entering houses in the middle of the night to steal car keys and being confronted by half-asleep occupants, causing emotional and occasionally physical harm.

“Police have been working extremely hard to identify and lock up those responsible, but need the public to help prevent it in the first place. We can forgive the forgetfulness, but we need to work harder together to minimise the harm. “I ask the public to lock vehicles, not leave spare keys in vehicles parked at the same location, not leave valuables in vehicles, lock house doors and windows at night, and not leave car keys in obvious places.” Detective McKenzie said stolen vehicles had been used in numerous crimes, such as ram raids, and were often found later “dumped and burnt out.” “The majority of stolen vehicles are driven by criminals recklessly at high speeds, running red lights and often ramming police to evade capture,” he said. “We’ve had criminals walking along an entire street, opening every unlocked vehicle and stealing cash, electronics, wallets and identification. They use stolen credit cards to buy goods before the owner even knows the card is stolen. “They will use stolen identification to steal hire cars. They often steal registration plates and use them to avoid detection or commit petrol drive offs.” Detective McKenzie said that while “prevention is largely the responsibility of the community, if the police need to be the cure then the criminals need to know we are active 24 hours a day”. “We will find you, arrest you, and most likely find a prison cell to house you,” he said.

Ram raider takes a turn while smashing servo A MAN extensively damaged the United service station at Tyabb yesterday (Monday) by driving a utility through the front glass doors and windows. The ute did a three point turn inside the shop before being driven off. Owner Simarjeet Virdi said CCTV showed the older model, dark-coloured, single cab tray ute with bull bar ramming four glass panels three times bringing down shelving and part of the ceiling, 4.30am, Tuesday 29 January. The extent of the damage was unclear but Mr Virdi

said it could be $15,000-$20,000. He said he knew of no reason for the incident at the service station on Frankston-Flinders Road. The driver did not get out of his car and left without stealing anything. No one was in the store at the time. Somerville detectives are urging anyone who witnessed the incident or who has further information or dash cam footage to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at crimestoppersvic.com.au

New Nepean MP wary of ‘political games’ Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au IT might have been just over two months ago but “new” MP for Nepean Chris Brayne still marvels at the emotions stirred within him on the “most intense night of my life”. The 25-year-old, of Balnarring, could be forgiven for having only a hazy recollection of election night, 24 November 2018, when he captured the previously “safe” Liberal seat coveted by Russell Joseph, the office manager of retiring MP Martin Dixon. Dixon had held the seat for the previous 16 years and the bookies were so dubious about it changing to Labor that they were quoting odds as high as 16-to-1. The enormity of the task was not lost on Brayne: “I thought I had zero chance and that it would go the other way. When the results started to come in I was shell shocked. “The phone started going off and I got about 300 calls, texts and emails. It was overwhelming.” Later in the night, when the scope of the ALP landslide was becoming apparent – as was a possible victory in Nepean – The News tracked Brayne down to a Mornington takeaway where he had gone with friend and campaign manager Joshua Sinclair to “take a breath” and regroup. Even then he was coy about his prospects of winning the seat although chuffed about the extent of the swing towards the ALP. “I wanted to wait until the full

Chris Brayne, the Labor MP for Nepean. Picture: Yanni results came in before I was prepared to claim victory. I didn’t want to blow my own trumpet. “Also, I wanted to do it all in an orderly fashion. I definitely didn’t want to do media and I wanted to show respect for Russell [Joseph]. “It would have looked pretty silly claiming a win without all the postal votes coming in – which we expected to go to the Liberals anyway.” Riding high on the wave of state Labor’s resurgence, Brayne managed to pull off the impossible. Since then, he says, he has been overwhelmed by messages of support, even one from a 97-year-old woman “who knocked on the door and came in to the office to congratulate me”. “I wanted to give people an alterna-

tive [to the Liberals] and I was out there at shopping centres and all the pre-polls – as was Russell [Joseph] – because I wanted to get more young people on board, to make the seat more marginal. “But I thought that no matter how hard I worked I would probably be 3000 votes down.” Brayne said he respected his rival who contacted him immediately after the poll to offer his congratulations. The pair had bonded over a two-hour lunch and Brayne is hopeful he can bring Joseph on board in a consultancy position to “tap into his wealth of knowledge of the peninsula”. “We don’t want to be playing political games.” Brayne said he began taking an

interest in politics at age 12 when his mother died. At the time US politician Al Gore’s documentary An Inconvenient Truth – which aimed to educate people about global warming – struck a chord with him, as did former PM Kevin Rudd’s commitment to tackling climate change. “I was impressed by how passionate Gore was to something with a higher purpose and with doing what was best for the planet,” he said. “I thought: I can be passionate about it, too. “Then Rudd came along and I think it was at that moment that the issues surrounding climate change all became connected.” Brayne is saddened that the subject has become a “political” victim of Australia’s adversarial party culture. “It is really a moral issue,” he said, adding that he would “stay on the side of science” if challenged on the topic by sceptics. He’s obviously pleased to say that “in Nepean, people of all political persuasions care for the environment”. Brayne enjoyed stints working at Camp America and, in 2017, accepted an internship at the Carter Centre in the US. Founded in 1982 by former President Jimmy Carter it aims to advance peace and health worldwide. Brayne was involved in a program overseeing fair play in the Nepalese elections. In pride of place on his office bookshelf is a picture of himself with Carter and Carter’s wife Rosalynn. Alongside this picture are books on his political heroes Bob Hawke and Paul Keating. A picture of Hawke

adorns a wall. Brayne has met with Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr David Gill and says he is across major local issues, such as the shire’s opposition to the state government’s removal of local planning controls aimed at protecting coastal villages and townships. He says he is also abreast of shire plans – promoted by Joseph – to use recycled water for agriculture and to fight bushfires. He had also spoken with Dromana Secondary College principal Alan Marr, toured Point Nepean National Park with long time campaigner for its preservation Kate Baillieu and says he welcomes contact with a special interest transport group advocating for an extension of the Stony Point railway line to Rosebud (Ribbon cut ‘opens’ Rosebud station The News 23/1/2019). He had met with energy company AGL to discuss the gas pipeline at Crib Point and the mooring of a regasification ship to process imported gas which would then be distributed through existing and new pipeline networks. He is aware of strong local opposition to the project. “I will be putting all that to [Energy, Environment and Climate Change minister] Lily D’Ambrosio and [Planning Minister] Richard Wynne, who has ordered an environmental effects statement to assess the project,” he said. “I will see that the opposition groups are heard. There is a lot of concern about the way the project has been handled.” Continued Page 7

Civic buildings go solar to save money SOLAR power to be installed on some of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s largest buildings is aimed at cutting carbon emissions and saving on power bills. In the second stage of the shire’s Solar PV project 584 panels will be installed at Rosebud Library, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery and Pelican Park. This is tipped to provide annual savings of more than $30,000 while cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 250 tonnes. In stage 1 of the project last year, Rosebud Municipal Office, Civic Reserve Recreation Centre and Hastings Library went solar with 822 panels generating 250 kW. When the rooftop Solar PV rollout is complete, about 707 kW or 2440 panels, will sit atop shire owned and run buildings – expected to harness savings of more than $132,000 a year and cutting carbon emissions by 15 per cent. The mayor Cr David Gill said the shire was working towards having “carbon neutrality” by 2021. This included “innovative renewable energy, waste recovery and recycling activities, and assisting local businesses to make environmental upgrades that will reduce the carbon footprint of the entire region”. Last year the shire helped install 50kW of solar at clubs, including Mt Eliza Cricket Club and Sorrento Community Centre.

Back-up generators have day in the sun of rolling blackouts in parts of Mornington, Dromana and Frankston and 28 other suburbs. The demand-response project, codeveloped by United Energy in 2016, helped the company defer a planned $30 million upgrade of poles and wires on the peninsula “while maintaining supply reliability” on days of peak demand. This typically occurs on one to five days a year – such as Friday – when everyone switches on their air condi-

HOT weather on Friday 25 January was the catalyst for 11 generators at five sites on the Mornington Peninsula being switched on to provide back-up power to the energy grid. It was the first time the “temporary” generators, all on private properties, had been used. Their contribution, described by Community Grid Project co-provider GreenSync as “modest”, reportedly enabled 3000 United Energy customers to stay connected to the grid on a day

Continued from Page 5 Although Brayne says he “loves the ALP, [his] allegiance is to the people of the peninsula”. “Someone asked me how I liked having Daniel Andrews for a boss and I told them the people of the electorate were my bosses – although getting recognised on the street still comes as a surprise.” Brayne says he is “more centre than the Greens” and will “work to support and protect the environment”. “I could only support a government that supports action on climate change,” he said. Admitting he was lucky not to have made “big promises” on the hustings, he says he will work to deliver a Headspace centre on the peninsula. “It’s just unacceptable that youth in places like Rye, Rosebud and Dromana should have to travel to Frankston to get the help they need in their time of need,” he said. Another goal is to improve the peninsula’s bus services – which he says are unreliable. It’s an issue close to his heart. “I caught buses all through university and it is unacceptable that it takes one-and-a-half hours to go from Balnarring to Frankston,” he said. “If we’d made investments in bus services years ago people would now be seeing public transport as a viable alternative to cars. They don’t.” The rejuvenation of Portsea front beach is another goal, as is the retention of the peninsula’s green wedgezoned land. Asked how politics might change him, Brayne said: “I know who I am; I hope I can be true to myself and fundamentally stay the same.”

AGL criticised for sponsorships Main course: Kobi Watson is celebrating his Italian restaurant’s second birthday. Picture: Yanni

Challenging life is the chef ’s choice Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A YOUNG chef determined to set his own course instead of the more accepted school-followed-by-university route is reaping the rewards and kicking goals. Balnarring resident Kobi Watson, who runs his own restaurant, Kobi Jack’s at McCrae, said he had been determined not to embark on a “pointless” tertiary course just for the sake of it and coming out at the other end not really knowing what he wanted to do. Watson, 19, says he was an above average student at Dromana Secondary College when he “basically just got sick of school”. So, while going through the motions of getting ready for Year 11, he took the brave step of recalibrating his

future. “I’d already selected my subjects,” he said. “But over the holidays I started to see the bigger picture and decided I wasn’t going back. “That shocked some people and I was even told by some teachers that I was wrecking my future and narrowing my pathways. “I knew there was more to life than doing a uni course but not really being passionate about what I was supposed to be doing. I know there are many others feeling that way. “I’d been casually working and making lots of money in cafes and restaurants as a 15-16 year old and I thought: ‘You know what? This is for me. I started a chef’s apprenticeship. My dream was to one day open a restaurant and create a space where I can cook the food I love – classic Italian cuisine.” That dream is now a reality. With the new school year about

to start many young people must be wrestling with the same dilemmas: continue school or start work? “It would nice to shed some light on that hot topic,” Watson said. “At 17 I was a qualified chef, have had numerous opportunities to travel, had no hex fees, and was working earning money. “Education is a life-long journey and there is more than just one way to study.” Watson will celebrate his pizza restaurant’s second birthday on 2 February. “There are wonderful opportunities for young people in hospitality on the Mornington Peninsula especially if they are willing to have a crack,” he said. “There are lots of kids who didn’t get the ATAR they wanted but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a future.”

Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au POWER company AGL’s corporate logo is increasingl;y being attached to a growing number of community activities on the Mornington Peninsula. As well as sponsoring the Hastings Gift foot race in November, the company has bought the naming rights to the Peninsula Film Festival (at Rosebud on Saturday, 2 February) and the following day’s Musiqua Festival on Hastings foreshore. The Mornington Peninsula News Group, publisher of this newspaper, is also a major sponsor of the film festival. AGL says it is “common” for it to be approached for support by groups “when we start operating in a community”. AGL spokesperson Mike Duffy said support would be expected “if our project went ahead”. “At no stage have we asked the festival organisers to support our proposed project or distribute information about the project at the festival.” Members of Save Westernport planned to be at both events “with a peaceful and informative presence”. “By associating their brand with summer events, it looks like AGL is attempting to distract attention from their recent negative headlines and growing opposition to their plan to import and process LNG in the internationally protected wetlands of Western

Port,” Save Westernport assistant secretary Julia Stockigt said. “We’ll be handing out water and postcards and chatting with festival goers interested in knowing more about AGL and their inappropriate plans for beautiful Westernport Bay,” one of the group’s founding members Candy Van Rood said. Save Westernport has also pointed out that the film festival coincided with World Wetlands Day, “a day dedicated to the celebration and awareness of this essential but often under-valued ecosystem that is right on our doorstep”. Ms Stockigt said Crib Point is “notoriously difficult to evacuate and prone to bushfires”. “AGL is asking the public to disregard the project’s risks and their own poor safety record and have confidence in their ability to safely operate an enormous floating gas plant in the shallow waters and fast-moving tides at Crib Point,” she said. Ms Stockigt said concerns about the gas import terminal include the volatility of LNG. “The danger of accidents involving fire, explosion or leak would be a constant threat that could reduce the value of local properties and make them difficult to insure,” Ms Stockigt said. “Enormous volumes of seawater are needed to heat the frozen gas. The seawater would be chlorinated, then dumped back into the bay seven degrees colder.”

Rock thrown at train driver THE driver of a freight train was taken to hospital after being hit on the upper body by a rock thrown by “young people”, 9pm, Wednesday 30 January. Hastings police said the train was travelling south from Leawarra station towards Baxter when the incident occurred. The driver continued on to Tyabb train station from where he was taken to Frankston Hospital in a stable condition. Rail, Tram and Bus Union secretary Luba Grigorovitch said on Radio 3AW the unprovoked attack was unacceptable and put the safety of both the train’s driver and its passengers at risk. “No one goes to work to be in harm’s way. It’s completely unacceptable,” she said.

Amity gets results THE Australia Day Long Weekend was a busy one for police in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula, with Operation Amity focusing on speed, fatigue, impaired driving, distraction offences and seatbelt compliance. Over the four days – Friday 25 January to Monday 28 January – police breath-tested 1161 drivers and drug-tested 38 drivers. Of these, 14 drink drivers and six drug drivers were charged. Police also detected 23 disqualified or unlicensed drivers and fined 116 drivers for speeding. Twelve drivers were charged with disobeying traffic lights and 33 were caught driving unregistered vehicles. Three vehicles were impounded. Police also focused on boats and jet skis breaking speed limits and entering no-go zones, as well as checking on safety equipment and boat licences. Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said two serious injury collisions included one in which an L-plater changed lanes on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway, Dromana, causing another vehicle to “take evasive action, lose control and overturn”, 5.45pm, Saturday 26 January.

With Stephen Taylor

In the other serious incident a motorcyclist ran into a tree which had fallen across Coolart Road, Somerville, 10.30pm, Saturday 26 January. Police also targeted those drinking alcohol on the beach and littering and behaving offensively. They were also on the lookout for hoon and road-rage incidents, drivers using mobile phones, drink drivers and parking offences. Fines are $100 for having an open container of alcohol, $645 for being drunk in a public place and $806 for being drunk and disorderly – with the possibility of offenders spending time in the cells to sober up. Jet ski riders can be fined $317 for breaching speed and distance rules on the water, and $793 for riding unregistered or unlicensed on the water.

Drunk, disorderly TWO girls aged 17 were capsicum sprayed by police at Mothers Beach, Mornington and charged with being drunk and disorderly at 8.15pm on Australia Day, Saturday 26 January. The girls, of Mornington and Bittern, were taken back to Mornington police station and their parents called to collect them. They will be summonsed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court. Sergeant Chris Stock said up to half a dozen girls drinking on the foreshore became belligerent when ordered to hand over their alcohol by police. The foreshore is an alcohol-free zone. He said an officer had a radio wrenched off a jacket by one of the girls before the arrests. “We pushed about two dozen young people off the beach who were there to party,” he said. “They like to get it on early while nearby families were just trying to have a good time.” In another Australia Day incident, four men aged 17 to 25 were charged with being drunk and disorderly at nearby Mills Beach, 5-8pm. They were each issued $700 infringement notices. Senior Sergeant Paul Edwards said police enforcing alco-

Wednesday 30 January. It was the second attack on a Western Port United outlet, after the Tyabb United was ram-raided and extensively damaged at 4.30am the day before. Sergeant Peter Drake, of Somerville CIU, said a witness reported a loud bang before the service station’s alarm sounded. A white dual cab ute was then seen driving off.

Smoke bad for chef ’s health A CHEF at a Mornington nursing home suffered minor smoke inhalation when part of a barbecue area caught fire, 2am, Sunday 27 January. Mornington fire brigade crews and police attended what turned out to be a hazmat incident at the home in Dorothy Crescent. Police said the 40-year-old man was overcome by fumes and treated at the scene. Picture: Gary Sissons

hol bans along the Mornington foreshore later confiscated cans from another group of young men and tipped the beer out. “They were not charged with any offence; it was punishment enough for them seeing their beer go down the drain,” he said.

Blow hole break-ins POLICE would like to speak to any visitors to the Flinders blow hole and other back beach areas who saw a suspicious man loitering on Australia Day. He is believed to have broken into cars in the area. Police particularly want to speak to those who saw the man at the blow hole car park, 11.30am-12.30pm, Saturday 26 January, and who reported his behaviour to the park ranger. Anyone who saw a suspicious man at the Bushrangers Bay, Ti Tree Creek or Flinders Ocean Beach car parks on that day should also contact police. Leading Senior Constable Greg Wolfe, of Somerville Highway Patrol, urges visitors not to leave valuables in the car. “Leave them at

Cigs, alcohol theft FOUR men who used a jemmy bar to force their way into the Bittern IGA supermarket stole a large quantity of cigarettes, 3am, Sunday 27 January. Detectives from Somerville CIU said CCTV showed the men struggling to open the cigarette cabinet before wrenching it from the wall and loading it onto a utility. It was later found opened at Devon Meadows. The men also stole six bottles of alcohol and some beer.

Art eviction in plein air ARTISTS, especially when spotted at their easels in the open air, can be seen as adding a bit of interest to the landscape. But that feeling is not universal, Bittern artist Peter Woods has found out, especially in the home of what many regard as “must make” destination for artists – southern France. While working at his easel outside the picturescue village of Lourmarin, Woods was confronted by a woman who drove up in a car and “started to talk vigorously and gesticulate”. It was not until after hearing the word ‘’out” that he realised that he

was being kicked off her land. “I was only two metres off the path, but I was in the field of someone not fond of artists,” Woods recalls when describing the creation of his painting of the village and its vineyard foreground. “Apologetic but amused”, he moved back onto the path, but within five minutes was confronted by the woman’s daughter on a quad bike, which she rode “furiously in circles for a while to express her Gallic displeasure”. The encounter took place when Woods and his wife Jeanette spent

five weeks last year in Lourmarin and Saint-Remy-de-Provence. The couple toured the area by car and shopped at markets and savoured being in “the steps of Vincent van Gogh” who had spent a “productive but difficult year” in Saint-Remy towards the end of his life. The results of Woods’s efforts have been combined with other works depicting scenes from Woolleys Beach Reserve, Jack’s Beach, Main Ridge, Merricks, Flinders and Red Hill in his “Peninsula to Provence” exhibition at the gallery at The Red Hill Bakery and Cafe, Balnarring.

Mornington art show ‘the best yet’

On location: Peter Woods painting undisturbed at the St Paul hospital, SaintRemy-de-Provence, France. Below, a field of poppies. Pictures: Supplied

Woods sees his Western Port scenes “as part of my advocacy for the bay in light of the current battles with AGL” which wants to use Crib Point as a base to import liquefied natural gas. “Peninsula to Provence”, an art exhibition by Peter Woods, is at the at the gallery at The Red Hill Bakery and Cafe, 3000 Frankston-Flinders Road, Balnarring, until 14 February. Keith Platt

THIS year’s Mornington Art show, presented by the Rotary Club of Mornington and ending on Australia Day, is being seen as the best show in its 47-year history with 15 per cent of works being sold. More than 860 art works, including paintings and photographs, were hung for sale and public viewing. The paintings by Mornington Peninsula, Victorian and interstate artists covered a range of media and genre. Several of the 42 photographs and works by VCE and other students were also sold. Rotary club member and one the show’s organisers, John Renowden, said selling 15.2 per cent of works “is considered to be a very high level of sales for an art show and is indicative of the interest shown in quality art work by our local community and those visiting the peninsula”. Mr Renowden said more than 350 attended the show’s opening night, including politicians from all three levels of government. An estimated 1600 people visited the show after the opening. Rotary president Libby Paterson opened the show with art show chair Victor Sullivan. Mr Renowden said large paintings and glasswork by Leisa Wharington decorated the stage at the Peninsula Community Theatre while a “large colourful bathing box below the stage gave the art show a distinctly local beachside flavour”. The works on display included those by feature artists David Brayshaw and Cathy Van Ee and art show judge, Lyn Mellady. John Bredl’s “ Reflections 1” was chosen as their people’s choice. The raffle drawn on Australia Day was won by Isobel Hamill. Second prize went to Wendy McKeown and third to Glenis Maconachie. Mr Renowden said the $50,000 raised for Rotary by the art show will be spent on local and International humanitarian projects, including a new Intensive care bed for The Bays Hospital and clean water for two schools in Bhutan (in

Local Expertsin Mornington SWIMART MORNINGTON won a total of four awards – the highest number presented to a single franchise partner – at the Swimart Awards Ceremony, which was held on July 27 at the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas. This year, a total of 73 awards were presented to franchise partners, including Mornington Swimart which took home Australasian Franchisee of the Year, Southern Region Franchisee of the Year, Southern Region Hot Shot of the Year, and Gold Franchisee. “We were surprised, grateful and proud of our effort. We knew we’d done well over the past year, but we didn’t realise how well!” says Swimart Mornington owner Jordan Bedson. “For us, the awards are a result of team effort and the support of our customers.” While Jordan has only been a franchise owner for a year, he has, at just 29 years of age, 10 years’ experience in the pool care industry, including two managing the Mornington franchise prior to purchasing it. “From a young age I set my goal to own my own store.” Winning four awards is confirmation for Jordan that his focus on providing outstanding customer service and maintaining a strong team is working. “We work as a team, so our win was a team effort,” explains Jordan, who runs the store with wife Hayley and 10 staff. “Building a good team is essential to a franchise’s success. If you employ the right people, your business will do well. For me, the right people are those who offer great service, resolves issues quickly and build strong relationships with customers.”

Our philosophy has not changed since we first started doing kitchen makeovers in 1999. We always have and will be true to our mission – to work together with our clients to create the right solution for their kitchen transformation project. We do this by combining our traditional values of integrity, honesty, commitment, with our innovative thinking, technical excellence and in-depth experience. It’s for these reasons that CONCEPT KITCHEN MAKEOVERS is recognised as the kitchen makeover company of choice by the Mornington Peninsula locals. 18 YEARS OF SIMPLE SOLUTIONS Concept Kitchen Makeovers was established as an alternative to conventional kitchen renovation companies, with the focus of providing simple stress-free installations, strong customer service, cost-effective solutions and high quality for all our projects – rather than a complete remove and replace kitchen supply company. Neil Mackie began in the kitchen cabinet industry, 40 years ago, as a skilled builder, installer and kitchen designer. He used these skills to start a kitchen transformation business with his wife, Barb, 18 years ago.

Catering to the needs of todays buyer, this stunning new sensation – constructed by Coastal Development Group – delivers an intuitive design showcasing clean architectural lines and a dazzling array of premium appointments that will not leave you wanting. From the front of the home the nearby master bedroom boasts a walk-in wardrobe, and a chic ensuite has double basins and a large double shower.

The 7-star energy rated home features two central air conditioning and heating systems, double glazed windows and a solar hot water service whilst a video intercom and alarm system provide a reassuring sense of security.

Reckless abuse of the environment must stop Some 250 non-native marine species have been introduced into Australian waters. Many are highly invasive marine pests that present a significant threat to the biodiversity of our marine environment through rapid reproduction and competition with native species. More than 100 of these non-native species have been introduced into Port Phillip as a result of fouling on hulls and discharges of contaminated ballast water. Noting that that once a marine pest becomes established in a new location it can rarely be eradicated, it is entirely appropriate that Parks Victoria chief conservation scientist, Dr Mark Norman, recommended that boat owners using Port Phillip and Western Port should ensure the hulls of their boats are cleaned with fresh water and dried to minimise the risk of spread of marine pests (“Bay users warned of ‘marine pests’” The News 15/1/19). The Victorian government through Parks Victoria recognises that Victoria’s marine national parks and sanctuaries have been established to protect the diversity of our marine environment, its habitats and associated plants and animals, and that more than 90 per cent of the plants and animals living in Australia’s southern waters are found nowhere else in the world. Given marine pests spread on ships hulls and in ballast water and given the high social and environmental amenity of Western Port with its internationally recognised wetlands and marine reserves, it defies comprehension that the same government that is advocating the cleaning of hulls of local boats to prevent the spread of marine pests should even be considering the proposal to allow entry into Western Port of up to 40 LNG transport ships a year from undisclosed locations world-wide. Rupert Steiner is correct (“MPs selling out” Letters 23/1/19). The reckless abuse of our natural environment has to stop right now. Ignorance and corporate greed must not dictate government policy. John Humphrey, Bittern

Kaufland benefits The Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr David Gill, in lieu of challenging the state government on its issue to remove the decision re the Kaufland proposal to build a supermarket in Mornington on industrial land set aside as such, many decades ago, should see the positives in this for the locals. There is first the particular advantage of the additional competition that it brings. No one would argue about the benefits Aldi brought when it came onto the market and especially down here. The competition has been tremendous and a boon for us residents. What of the additional job opportunities? In addition, there is the use of land set aside a long time ago but never used industrially which will now pay a significantly higher rates return. The decision to remove this from the shires responsibility will avoid all the previous inbuilt biases which emerge when councillors have to make such decisions each with their vested and or local biases. Our swimming pool must surely be the best example of that. The pool would have been build 10 years ago and on the [Rosebud] foreshore where it makes much more sense. Think of the lost revenues from the summer visitors for the past 10 years. We would probably have a debt free pool now for use all year round by the locals. Ken Norris, McCrae Editor: A public meeting to discuss the proposed Kaufland supermarket development in Nepean Highway, Mornington, will be held at the Mornington shire offices, 4-5pm, Thursday 14 February. Those attending will be briefed on the council’s submission to the state government’s Kaufland Stores in Victoria Advisory Committee as well as the proposal itself. To register to attend email Strategic.Admin@ mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 5950 1010 The shire offices are at 2 Queen Street.

Ferry’s terminal problem My concern is that of being able to use the West-

ern Port ferry service. I have no complaint with the service in itself, an excellent public transport service well above the normal PTV services. My complaint is that there is no facilities at any of the terminals that the ferry uses for handicapped. In this time of equal opportunity, the thought of anyone with even the slightest physical handicap being able to negotiate the several sets of steep steps to get to the ferry is nothing short of ridiculous and dangerous. Not only those with a physical handicap are restricted, but it is also dangerous for the elderly. The silliest thing is that the boat itself is handicap compliant, you just can’t get on it. Surely the government departments involved could come up with a solution that would rectify this extremely poor, dangerous and restricted access for those in our community that just want a day out and travel on a wonderful waterway to one of the beautiful islands. What a disgrace this is and what a shame. From my reading of the law this is a clear violation, but what is the use of complaining, it would be one government department against another, and this would be swept under the mat and forgotten. Once again the minority and worse affected in our community are biased against. Chris Antony, Mornington

Extravagant path Bill Holmes’ letter highlighting the cost blowout in the construction of a footpath in Sorrento from $370,000 to nearly $1 million is extraordinary – particularly when it was opposed by almost 90 per cent of affected residents (“Footpath costs” Letters 29/1/19). It was strongly supported by Cr Hugh Fraser who, in his short time on Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, has managed to travel overseas four times - to Timor twice, Paris and China. Needless to say, the travel has been in accordance with the rules set by council. All this extravagance and inefficiency shouldn’t sit well with residents who struggle to make ends meet on a week to week basis. Geoff Allen, Mt Eliza

On the right path As a resident of Sorrento, I was so pleased to read that the footpath, in Coppin Road is finally to be constructed (“Footpath costs” Letters 29/1/19). I walk up this road almost every day with my small dog and it has been a nightmare. Such a dangerous road with the bus and cars coming towards you, and nowhere to go. Children going to the school in Kerferd Road will be much safer. I for one, look forward to the day it is started. Erica Bryan, Sorrento

Eyesore barrier The recent installation of the concrete barriers and screen ruins Anthonys Nose at Dromana, which must surely rate as the best view of all Port Phillip foreshores. Yes, the concrete barriers are necessary to stop rocks falling onto the beach road but, for heaven’s sake, why weren’t the concrete barriers and screens painted before they were installed? Preferably a sand colour which would blend the barriers with the cliff and shoreline. The concrete barriers on Peninsula Link near Frankston are painted and give a pleasing look while driving down the link. Gerry Shepherd, Dromana

Hunt should go The way Prime Minister Scott Morrison is losing members in his government, he’ll be lucky to have enough people to fill positions by the time the May election comes around. After what I regard as [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt’s disgraceful display of disloyalty to [former prime minister Malcolm] Turnbull, I was surprised that he kept his current [health] portfolio after trailing on the coat tails of Peter Dutton. Now, thanks to Greg and his cohorts, we’ve

got Scott Morrison and a very unstable government. Mr Hunt appears to have been blinded by ambition. Perhaps the Flinders electors should give him a nudge and vote him out. He’s been in the seat long enough and has been less than dynamic in all the portfolios he has held. Perhaps it’s time to say goodbye to Greg Hunt. The election is only four months away, have a good think about it. John Cain, McCrae

Hunt should act What is wrong with our foreign minister [Marise Payne] and the federal government? First our federal police offer Hakeem Al-Arabi [a Bahraini refugee living in Australia]as a sacrificial offering to the Thai government, completely disregarding the fact that the Interpol arrest warrant against him was not active anymore, and now this poor man has been in prison ever since. And our government and foreign minister are still procrastinating about some strong and unambiguous demands for his release and return to Australia. If the Thai government wants to ingratiate itself with the Bahrainian government, it should do this in some other way, not with the life of an Australian resident. Shame on both of these governments. How about [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt, our much threatened local member, for once showing some spine and making a little noise for the just cause of getting Hakeem back to Australia.

imposed on 160,000 premises. February will be a lot hotter. What child-like creatures are running this la la land? I will state, yet again, that a standard, single 625 mw coal-powered generator is equivalent to 1500 standard windmill generators wobbling along when, and if, the wind blows; and the 625 mw generator runs all night too, long after sun power recedes in the afternoon. Those wind generators cost a couple of million dollars or three each, including foundations. Some crazy green people, notably economists, are saying that all petrol cars will be finished in the near future, to “save the planet”. We would have to triple our electricity generation and rebuild a stronger grid to power them. Where would the lost petrol tax revenue be recouped? The climate on this planet has varied, considerably and naturally, over the past 1000 years or more. It is recorded. There is evidence for the reality deniers. We must rebuild Hazelwood power station immediately, using modern technology. Or (gasp) go nuclear, using our own abundant uranium. Nuclear is, in 2019, reliable, cheap and safe. They use it in submarines. If you want, we could locate the plants in any nearby desert. But, most importantly, we must first put our deranged adults into asylums, not governments.

Power a hot topic On that hot Friday 25 January I heard a news item on radio: a government energy spokeswoman said that we may need an extra 250 megawatts (250 million watts) of electricity to get through this hot day. We had reserves of (only) 180 mw, Alcoa had “agreed” to shut down its aluminium smelter if necessary - releasing another 400 mw - and the predicted high winds should enable wind power to generate an extra 700 mw.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Influenza epedemic - shire council acts - local cases quarantined Compiled by Brodie Cowburn A SPECIAL meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council was held on Tuesday night last, when there were present Crs. Murray (president), J. Unthank, Oates, Mason, Hoare and Hoban. The president explained that the Council had been called together to consider the best means to adopt to combat the influenza epidemic. The real article was not in the district yet, and he hoped it would not come. Still, they must be prepared for it, and have everything in readiness in the event of a serious outbreak. The secretary (Mr. John E. Jones) read a communication from the Public Health Department asking what action had been taken by the Council to fight the disease. A reply had been forwarded to the effect that the local health officer, was carrying out inoculation at the various centres throughout the shire, and taking other precautions. Cr. Mason said in sending out the notices convening the present meeting there had been very little time to.spare, and he had done the best under the: circumstances. It was highly necessary that the Council should take definite action in view of the seriousness of the position. He, in company with the local health officer (Dr. Griffeths), had the previous day made numerous visits to various houses in and around Frankston, where it was rumoured that cases of influenza existed, but nothing serious had been discovered. There were other cases, however, of which he had a list, and these were being treated as pneumonic influenza. Cr. Mason then gave details of

the cases, which included several in Frankston (including three at the private hospital, and one each at Carrum and Somerville). Dr. Griffeths, the health-officer of the shire, at the invitation of the Council, then expressed. his views concerning the position. He said he had inoculated at Frankston, Somerville, and Hastings, and also at Balnarring, where 50 men were employed on the Water works. At Frankston on Monday he had inoculated 72 persons, 24 for the second time, and not one had shown any ill effects. It was a prevalent idea, said Dr. Griffeths, that bad effects followed inoculation. Such was not the fact. Damage to health did not follow inoculation, and the serum was the only thing to rely on in the present outbreak. Every effort should be made to effect isolation in every case.of pneumonic influenza. Ally mild case might cause infection, with serious results. No form of the disease, no matter how slight, should be regarded lightly. Inoculation would not give complete immnunity, from the disease, but if an inoculated person contracted it, the attack would be in a much milder form. The pneumonic phase of the disease was its great danger, for pneumonia was the captain of all acute diseases. He had seen mild cases in this shire, and it had to be remembered that the mild develops into the serious. The only safeguard was inoculation. People should be prevented from congregating together in large numbers. Race meetings, theatres, picture shows, etc., should all be prohibited. For local requirements he considered a suitable building should be secured as an isolation hospital in case of need.

President - Is inoculation sufficient in case of contacts? Dr. Griffeths replied: No; not in the case of contacts. Separation and isolation were most essential. Continuing, Dr. Griffeths said he met a man the other day who said he would wait till the disease came to his district before he would get inoculated. That man, said the doctor, would look pretty foolish if he happened to be the first man to contract the complaint. Dr. Griffeths said he had not seen a bad case yet; but Dr. Atkinson, of Frankston, had told him that there were three in Frankston, and that they were in the private hospital. Dr. Griffeths then explained that he had informed Dr. Atkinson that the cases, being infectious, should not have been admitted to the private hospital, and that it would be necessary to quarantine the institution. He also protested to Dr. Atkinson against the practice of allowing the patients to be visited by people outside. He was told that each patient was allowed one visitor. Dr. Atkinson had replied that visitors were allowed to see patients in the Melbourne Hospital. He (Dr. Griffeths) had replied that two wrongs did not make a right, and that the practice of allowing visitors at the Frankston Hospital must be stopped. Cr. Oates: Quite right. Dr. Griffeths: I told Dr. Atkinson if any persons went into that hospital they would have to stay there. Tradespeople could leave their goods at the gate, but should not have contact with any person inside. The Council, said Dr. Griffeths, should pass a resolution for bidding

access to the private hospital, except to sick people. Dr Griffeths said the Council should make immediate provision to provide accommodation for patients, and secure nurses. He believed there were plenty of V.D.N. women who would willingly offer their services. He thought the Recreation Park at Frankston would be an excellent place as a depot, and there should be plenty of tents available. The military authorities, no doubt, would be willing to supply tents or marquees, and perhaps the Defence department would supply beds. In conclusion, Dr. Griffeths expressed the hope that as the result of this meeting immediate action would be taken. President: How would you treat a mild case? Dr. Griffeths: Quarantine it at once, and a severe penalty is provided for breaking quarantine. Cr. Oates: If masks are worn can infection be taken through the eyes? Dr. Griffeths: I can’t say, but should think not. The affinity of the pneumonic influenza germ is for the lungs. Cr. J Unthank asked if the cases which had come under notice had been isolated. Dr. Griffeths: Yes. Cr. Hoare inquired if the butcher at Carrum, who was suffering from the complaint, had closed his establishment. Dr Griffeths: Oh, yes; I think so. Cr Mason said the position of the private hospital in Frankston was one demanding attention. The institution had only received its charter on the understanding that infectious cases, were not to be taken in. The cases now in the hospital had been diagnosed as pneu-

monic influenza in private houses, and then removed to the hospital. Cr. Oates said it was on account of the rumours floating about that he set out to make serious inquiry, with the result that he had obtained the list of cases just read to the meeting. It seemed to him that unless the Council took a strong stand they would have trouble. Preventative measures might seem severe, but it was the only way to stamp out the disease. Dr. Atkinson, of Frankston, should be asked to give firsthand information to Dr. Griffeths (the shire’s health officer) of all cases coming under his care. This would avoid the present unnecessary delay. The private hospital should be quarantined, as there were three serious cases there. He then moved that the St. Pancras Hospital, at Frankston, be brought under the quarantine regulations. Cr. Mason seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Dr. Griffeth - If any person goes into the private hospital now, they will stop in. Cr. Mason - Is there any way of notifying the public that the place is quarantined. Dr. Griffeth—Yes, By written notice on the gate or by flying the yellow flag, but the public will soon get to know. Cr Oates moved, that all private houses where cases of pnueumnoic influenza exist be brought under the quarantine regulations. Cr J. Unthank seconded He thought there were aspects of the position which were more serious to Frankston than to other parts of the shire. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 8 February 1919

THE MISSION SONGS PROJECT MISSION Songs Project is an initiative to revive contemporary Australian Indigenous songs from 1900 to 1999, focusing on the Christian missions, state run settlements and native camps where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were relocated. Searching for the family songs that were sung around the kitchen table, Jessie Lloyd explores the day to day life on the missions, settlements and reserves through music. From cultural identity to love and loss, these rare songs consist of almost forgotten stories that can now shed light into the history of our Indigenous elders, families and communities. Performed as a vocal quartet, Jessie presents a rare performance style found only in Indigenous communities; such as family gatherings, social events or yarns over a

cuppa. Story-telling, a major component of the performance, gives historical context and personal experiences into the tunes sung from the missions era, making the show warm, humorous and heartfelt. Mission Songs Project faithfully explores the musical journey of Indigenous Australian music and connects the traditional contemporary, revealing the continuation of cultural practice and song traditions into the 21st century. Mission Songs Project will be performed at Frankston Arts Centre on Friday 22 March, 7.30pm. Tickets are $27-$59. Bookings can be made online on thefac.com.au, over the phone on 03 9784 1060 or in person at Frankston Arts Centre.

Bailing out: Flinders reached their target against Mornington with six wickets and seven overs to spare. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Red Hill win the uphill battle By Brodie Cowburn

PENINSULA

RED Hill have worked hard to surpass their target of 200, as they took on Moorooduc in the second day of their two-day clash. Having finished day one on a high and restarting at 0/43, Red Hill quickly lost their first two wickets and were sitting a little more uncomfortable at 2/52. Simon Dart was their best batsman, as he scored 59 runs batting at number 4 to help guide the Hillmen to a three wicket win. At Ballam Park East, a pitiful Pines performance saw them waste a golden opportunity to defeat Long Island. Chasing just 110 runs to claim a first innings win, no Pines batsman could make an impact, with their top scorer putting just 17 runs on the board. They were bowled all out for a lowly 61. Long Island came in to bat to close out a successful day, scoring 2/32. At Ditterich Reserve, Baden Powell suffered a scare as Main Ridge came close to knocking off their mammoth total. Baden Powell were dominant on day one, finishing at 6/336 at stumps. In reply, Main Ridge showed they had plenty of fight in them. Four of their batsmen registered scored of over 45, Shaun Foster top scoring with 65. Main Ridge came close, but fell short. They were bowled out after 75 overs for 289.

DISTRICT

A BRILLIANT spell of bowling for Heatherhill has seen then scrape out a narrow first innings win over Delacombe Park. Defending a weak total of 112, Heatherhill had their work cut out for them. Things got off to a brilliant start for them as they dismissed Delacombe Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening three batsmen for single digit scores, with Jake Theobald doing the damage. Theobald would go on to take 6 wickets off his 19 overs. He clean bowled their final batsman to knock them all over for 89. Coming in to bat to close out the day, Heatherhill continued their positive play by finishing at 4/127 at stumps. At Roy Dore Reserve, a well batted innings of 80 from Scott Manders was not enough to help Seaford reach their target against Carrum. Manders had batting partners fall all around him, with the other top and middle order batsmen combining for just 22. They finished all out for 146. Despite some good bowling from Isuru Dias, Hastings were not able to defend a target of 120 against Mt Martha. Dias dismissed the opening four batsmen, but his efforts were not quite enough. Mt Martha held on and ended up getting over the line with five wickets to spare. A half century from Billy Quigley

proved the difference between Rosebud and Seaford Tigers, as Rosebud ended up being bowled out with a 41 run lead. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Buds finished at 165 at stumps.

SUB DISTRICT

TOOTGAROOK battled hard to try and reach their target of 287 against Boneo, but ended up falling short in their two-day clash. Things started well as opener Robert French smacked three 6s on his way to a fantastic innings of 70 runs. Middle order batsman Travis French also contributed with a half century, but ultimately they could not drag their side over the line. With eight overs left to play, Tootgarook were bowled out for 225. Skye had a tough afternoon away from home at Carrum Downs, failing to defend their total of 152. Things looked as if they would be competitive, before Ryan Lynch came in for Carrum Downs and put the game to bed. He smacked 11 boundaries on his way to 79. Carrum Downs declared for 164, wanting a chance to bowl before the day was done. Skye fared worse in their second innings, and finished the day at 8/56. Balnarring have let a good chance at defeating Dromana go begging, as they could not chase down an attainable target of 130 at Dromana Reserve. Balnarring were rattled to start their

innings and struggling badly at 3 wickets for 5 runs. They recovered slightly from there but lost their last wickets quickly, going from 3/78 to all out for 112. Zacc Klan took 5 wickets for Dromana. Tyabb performed well against Rye at Bunguyan Reserve to secure a win, surpassing their target off just 52 overs with six wickets to spare. Frankston YCW had a bye.

PROVINCIAL

BAXTER have claimed a rare and comprehensive outright win over Pearcedale, besting them over two innings to claim maximum points. Having declared four runs ahead on day one, Baxter would need to work quickly to dismiss Pearcedale on day two to get a second crack at batting. A middle order innings of 41 from Luke Lowry helped put Pearcedale in with a shot of avoiding the double innings defeat. His side were bowled out for 152. Baxter lost two early wickets in their second innings, and would have to work hard from 2/8. From there they wasted little time, smashing boundaries to reach their target off just 34 overs. Chris Brittain was at his usual best for his side, hitting two 6s on his way to 68. A good partnership between Blake Hogan-Keogh and Neil Barfuss has

helped Flinders claim victory over Mornington. The two put on a near 100 run stand to help Flinders reach their target of 166 with 6 wickets and 7 overs to spare. Langwarrin were almost subjected to an outright double innings loss as well, as Sorrento dominated them at David Macfarlane Reserve. Having set a target of 255 for victory on day one, the Sharks were in a good position. Langwarrin came in and were quickly at 3/11, and things never got much better. Jake Prosser top scored with 21, as his side collapsed for just 64 runs off 27 overs. Adeel Hussain has ruthless with ball in hand, posting career best figures of 8/33 off 14 overs. The Sharks could smell the blood in the water, and sent Langwarrin in again by enforcing the follow on. Hussain again ran rampant with 4 wickets, taking his total to 12 for the day, but Langwarrin held on. At close of play they still had 5 wickets in hand, avoiding a truly nasty defeat. At Harry MacDonald Oval, Peninsula OB were able to defend their total of 267 with relative ease. Their Mt Eliza opponents got off on the wrong foot and lost both openers for just 4 runs combined. They finished all out for 137 off 57 overs. James La Brooy took 6 wickets.

Rosebud joins State 5 South SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie ROSEBUD has had its application to join State League 5 accepted by Football Victoria and it will compete in the South division in 2019. And club president Melissa Osorio confirmed last weekend that merger talks with neighbouring Rosebud Heart are ongoing. “At the moment we’re going through the 2019 season ticking all the boxes and working with Football Victoria and Rosebud Heart and looking to the 2020 season (to merge),” Osorio said. Rosebud returned to competition under the state federation’s banner last year finishing second in Metropolitan 2 South-East. The previous time the club played under the controlling body was in 1984 when it finished last in Metropolitan 4 with just five points from 26 games. Langwarrin finished third-bottom in the same division that season narrowly avoiding relegation on goal difference. Rosebud hopes to consolidate its State 5 status this year and the aim of the merger is to marry Rosebud’s senior setup with Heart’s junior setup. “If the merger comes off we’ll have a very big club with around 400 to 500 members,” Osorio said. “Right now Rosebud has about 35 senior players and last year we had our first successful year with our juniors where we started off with three teams and ended up with six by the end of the season. “The amount of interest that we’ve had makes me think we’ll have more teams this year. “We’re thinking of starting an under-15s or under-16s girls team and our senior women are going to be playing in State 4 for the very first time.” The senior and reserves men’s squads will use both Olympic Park in Besgrove Street and Boneo Recreation Reserve as home venues this year and late last week Rosebud announced that Pat Sabatino had been appointed head coach. “We wanted to wait until we were sure we were in State 5 before making an appointment,” Osorio added. Sabatino, 50, has coached at Keilor Park and Western Suburbs and in 2014 he coached Avondale’s under-20s. His arrival comes after other clubs in State 5 have appointed a coach

and have started pre-season training. “It makes it very difficult,” Sabatino said. When Langwarrin first entered the NPL it faced a similar scenario due to the tardiness of FV in ratifying its inclusion and it was still holding trials when many of its opponents had settled on most positions in their senior squads. As we went to press Sabatino had only held three training sessions and was still in the process of sifting through the players to identify the ones to include in his squad. He also is on the lookout for an assistant and has spoken to two possible candidates. “This Tuesday night we’ll have an intraclub practice match and this will bring us closer to working out who the senior players are,” he said. “Look I’ll be honest with you. We’re miles behind the other clubs.” Sabatino is in talks with State 3 North-West club Essendon United about arranging a friendly and is particular about who his side should play in preparation for its league campaign. “We hope to hear back from them this week and I’m trying to get a feel about who to play in these practice games. “We’re trying to find our feet so you have to be a little bit cautious about who you play.” Luring players to Rosebud will be a major task for Sabatino and the club took to social media last weekend advertising for senior players for both the men’s and women’s teams. “Attracting players down this neck of the woods is a definite problem,

Sudoku and crossword solutions

even with the juniors.” Rosebud doesn’t pay any players so it’s hoping to put networking to good use. “Players have been ringing around any other players they know and maybe they’ll be more interested now in coming to a State 5 club.” Another task Sabatino faces is trying to tweak the culture at the club by making the senior squad more competitive. “It’s not a one-season fix. “We need to survive this season and try and attract more players down here.” Sabatino forms a strong link between Rosebud and Rosebud Heart as he is a committee member at Heart and coaches its under-15s. He’s hopeful that the 2019 season can sort out any teething problems between the two clubs and that the merger can proceed. Rosebud has to wait until Saturday 18 May for its much anticipated local derby against State 5 title hopeful Somerville Eagles. Somerville’s co-coaches Scott Morrison and Dave Greening were pivotal figures in Rosebud Heart’s brief time in senior soccer and Morrison is a life member of Rosebud. The clash is scheduled for 3pm at Olympic Park. Meanwhile Football Victoria released its State League fixtures last week. Ground availability issues have wrecked the opening round of the State 3 South-East season with just one match scheduled. Frankston Pines’ league season starts in round 2 on Saturday 30

March against Bayside Argonauts at Monterey Reserve while Skye United’s season starts with a round 3 away clash against Ashburton United on Saturday 6 April. FV has contacted Pines in relation to its request to play home games on Friday nights and the club expects to gain approval subject to a lighting audit to be conducted before 14 March. Whether or not Luke Murray, Tapiwanashe Munyanyiwa and Tuach Ter play for Pines this season is unclear. Murray committed himself to Pines last November but has decided he wants to try and play at a higher level, “Tapsy” is taking time off to deal with personal issues while Ter hasn’t been sighted and is rumoured to be on Springvale City’s radar. The opening round fixtures on Saturday 23 March for local clubs are: Mornington v Malvern City, Dallas Brooks Park, 8pm; Peninsula Strikers v Old Scotch, Centenary Park, 3pm; Dandenong South v Seaford Utd, Tatterson Park, 3pm; Chelsea v Baxter, Edithvale Recreation Reserve, 3pm; Bunyip District v Rosebud, Bunyip Recreation Reserve, 3pm; Old Mentonians v Aspendale, Mentone Grammar, 3pm; Endeavour Hills Fire v Somerville Eagles, Power Reserve, 3pm. Langwarrin starts its NPL2 campaign on Saturday 16 February against Melbourne City at Lawton Park at 3pm while Southern United’s NPLW season gets underway on the same day at Monterey Reserve with a 3pm clash against South Melbourne. In State 5 South news Somerville Eagles announced two new signings

last week. Charlie Conrath, 26, who arrived in Melbourne recently from Brighton in England has played with Ringmer FC and AFC Ringmer as a left winger and central midfielder but in recent seasons has played as a full back. James Liddle, 27, ex-Langwarrin, Barwon and Rosebud Heart, has also joined Somerville and can play in a variety of positions. Liddle was part of the Heart senior team that won every league game in 2016. Fellow State 5 South outfit Aspendale Stingrays drew 2-2 with Dingley Stars at Kingston Heath on Saturday. Playing on an artificial pitch exacerbated already oppressive weather conditions and drinks breaks were required throughout the clash. Triallist Luiz Dobre scored both goals for Aspendale whose best were Sonny Lindsay, Noah Berends and Jack Lindsay. In the earlier match Aspendale under-18s took on Aspendale’s reserves and won 5-0. Meanwhile the seventh staging of the Steve Wallace Memorial Cup was the highlight of last weekend. Moreland Zebras became the first side from north of the Yarra to win the annual event after the final against Langwarrin ended in a scoreless draw, Moreland winning 5-4 on penalties. However it’s unlikely that the Zebras will return to defend their title as Somerville is expected to compete in the 2020 Wallace Cup. Somerville drew 2-2 on Saturday in a friendly against Philip Island in Newhaven with the visitors’ goals coming from Dave Greening and Mark Pagliarulo. This week’s pre-season games: THURSDAY: Langwarrin v Doveton, Lawton Park, 7pm. SATURDAY: Frankston Pines v East Bentleigh, Monterey Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Somerville Eagles v Chelsea, Somerville Secondary College, 1pm & 3pm. SUNDAY: Peninsula Strikers v Collingwood City, Centenary Park, 3pm & 5pm; Skye Utd v Endeavour Utd, Reema Reserve, 1pm & 3pm; Seaford v. Aspendale Stingrays, North Seaford Reserve, 1pm & 3pm.

MORNINGTON NEWS scoreboard Aussie, Aussie, Aussie: Wez Hunter-trained galloper Curra Kid wins race five at Balnarring on Australia Day. Picture: Picnic Races

Cup day a success at Balnarring THOUSANDS of spectators flocked to the Emu Plains Reserve, Balnarring on Saturday 26 January for the Balnarring Picnic Racing Club’s traditional Australia Day meeting. A field of seven took to the track for the highlight of the club’s season, the Balnarring Cup, where Cranbourne-based trainer Cindy Alderson took out the main event with her lowflying mare My Clementina. Ridden by Maddison Morris, My Clementina scooped the prize to become the new ‘star of the picnics’, winning five straight picnic races - a maiden, Trophy 1, Trophy 2 and two Open Cups, which included the Healesville Cup at her previous start. Overall, Balnarring Picnic Racing Club president Terry Mulcahy said their major day was a raging success and a brilliant day out for all involved. “It was sensational,” Mulcahy said.

“It was an outstanding success. Weather wise it was perfect. It was 24 degrees, sunny all afternoon and you couldn’t ask for better conditions. “We had 4,500 people there and a really well behaved crowd with plenty of families.” Other highlights from the day included three odds-on favourites consecutively saluting from race 3 to race five, kicking off with the Colin Little-trained galloper Plum Pudding ($1.65) who won by a commanding six-length margin. The iconic Australia Day silks were also worn to victory during the successful run of favourites, with the Don Dwyer-trained Sheer Force and the Wez Hunter-trained Curra Kid taking out races four and five. Racing is set to return to Balnarring on Sunday 10 March (Labour Day long weekend) for their next picnic meeting.

Peninsula Boxing set to make an impact PENINSULA Boxing will be out to kick off the year in style when they line up in the inaugural Wild Fighter promotions card held at new boxing venue The Timber Yard, Port Melbourne on Saturday 23 March. Commonwealth Games silver medallist and unbeaten cruiserweight boxer, Jason Whateley (2-0, 1 KO), is set to headline the card in his third career fight as a professional. His opponent is yet to be determined but it’ll be Whateley’s first time entering an eight round match-up. Fellow Peninsula Boxer, Lochie ‘Bubba’ Higgins (4-2, 2 KO), is also locked in to fight the “tough as nails” Mark Smith (5-4-2) in a six round battle in the super middleweight division. Higgins will step up into the super middleweight division for the first time but it has been a move which Peninsula Boxing head coach Marcos Amado has planned on making for a long time. Amado said this year will again be an improvement on the last with more targets set to be hit this time around.

“Everyone is flying,” Amado said. “2019 is going to be a big step up year and we are going to try and get six fights in for each of our professionals. “A couple of them only had the two fights last year which is a lot of time between outings so we’re looking to step it up this year.” Following the inaugural Wild Fighters card, Peninsula Boxing looks set for a massive night on Saturday 27 April where Whateley, Higgins and Jai Alexander will compete on the same card for the first time. To add to the occasion, undefeated professional boxers, Alexander (9-0, 6 KO) and Whateley, are both set to fight for titles on the Kings of Kombat card. Whateley will fight for the WBF Australasian Cruiserweight title against Fijian boxer Filimon Naliva Jr (5-0, 4 KO), while Alexander will lock horns with another Fijian, Shamal Ram Anuj (7-1, 6 KO) for the WBF Australasian Featherweight title. Higgins’ opponent is yet to be confirmed.

5 February 2019

UP-AND-COMING table tennis siblings, Georgia and Charlie Hollow, headed into Melbourne for the Melbourne Junior Open and the National Hopes Challenge on Monday 21 January. The Mornington Peninsula table tennis juniors competed in the under-11s singles and doubles competitions at the Melbourne Open where they returned with some top results. Georgia, who is just seven-years-old, finished third in the under-11s Girls singles while her brother, Charlie, also landed third prize in the under-11s Boy’s singles. The brother-sister combination then paired up in the under-11s doubles where they finished runners-up. Their father, Scott Hollow, couldn’t be happier to see his kids do so well. “[Charlie’s] improving all the time,” he said. “He’s now third in Victoria and top 10 in the country. He’s playing in the second highest grade of pennant and he’s almost up to getting me and he’s only 10-years-old. “[Georgia’s] only seven and competing in the under-11s so she’s doing a remarkable job for someone who’s only just started.”

Charlie also participated in the National Hopes Challenge where 30 juniors from across Australia were given the opportunity to gain coaching from some of the best coaches in the country. As part of the challenge, Charlie did 26 hours of training with the elite coaches across four days before competing in a round robin on the fifth and final day. The winner of the round robin was given the chance to represent Australia at the Oceania Hopes Challenge in New Zealand. Overall, Charlie finished seventh in the round robin but had a lot of fun meeting and playing with some of the top table tennis players in Australia. Charlie and Georgia will continue to compete in their Mornington Peninsula pennant leagues at Civic Reserve as well as playing in a couple of other junior groups on Friday nights. Charlie will be playing in the new Friday Night Junior Pennant league which will kick off on Friday 22 March, while Georgia will continue to take part in the ‘Spinkids’ group which started up again on Friday 1 March. For more information on either of the junior groups email: mptta88@gmail. com.
