ROSEBUD KITE FESTIVAL 2018

SUNDAY 11 MARCH 2018

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no wait... it’s a kite! IT’S a telling sign in today’s high tech, fast paced world that people take such pleasure from the simple act of flying a kite. Now in it’s 15th year, the much-loved Rosebud Kite Festival has grown from small beginnings to be among Australia’s largest kite flying events. Powered by coastal sea breezes the super-sized inflatables known as Maxi’s, some measuring up to 12 meters in diameter, are back leading

the flight program again in 2018. These giants of the kite world are made using colourful fabric construction that catch wind in the folds of their intricate design. Flying tens of meters high above the foreshore in Rosebud, they are tethered back to the earth with multiple wires and weights that counter the huge lift forces they generate. Not for the faint hearted, it takes a great deal of skill and experience to keep these Maxi’s aloft. On

March 11th, Rosebud will host an internationally recognised team of professional kite makers, including Craig Hansen from Peter Lynn Kites and Jo Baker recently back from representing Australia in India’s most iconic Kite Festival, as well as some of our best known kite makers from around the country. They’ll be unfurling a store of animated creations including; a giant spotted Whale Shark, Flying Pigs, and Winged Dragons

and numerous Underwater Creatures. Along with the kite flying program, this FREE FAMILY FESTIVAL offers a program of live music and entertainment, performing artists, circus workshops and storytelling, kite making workshops, kids rides, food stalls, community demonstrations and all things fun under the sun (see website for full program) http:// rosebudkitefestival.com.au.

Interstate Kite Flyers Join the Party Ian Burrell

David Greer DAVID Greer is the current president of the Kite Flyers of Tasmania and a man who enjoys talking kites and kiting as much as he loves to fly them. This award winning kite builder and kite flyer has also been a Club committee member for more years than he can remember. He doesn’t escape the Tasmanian border control often but is glad to be back at Rosebud to share his love of all things kitey.

Sarath Kingsley

Craig Hansen

SARATH Kingsley, born in Sri Lanka but now living in Sydney, joins the Rosebud Kite festival for the first time. An artistic kite builder from a young age he received awards at Columbian kite festivals for the smallest kite & most creative kites.

CRAIG Hansen, the International visiting kite professional, lives and manufactures his colourful, air inflated soft kites in New Zealand, having developed his passion over 45 years ago as a boy in Zimbabwe. His giant kites are amongst the largest in the world which can generate incredible lift force that need a serious anchor, in our instance, a car, to keep them from taking off! Watch this man use all his weight to control his collection of kites.

Now a senior member from AKFS in Sydney, Sarath continues to build kites, winning many awards for his designs at Bondi’s Festival of the Winds over the past six years.

Ian is the proud owner of more than 100 kites including a whale that stretches up to 16 meters in size and his fascination with kites began to bud at a young age. “We used to make kites when we were kids, but I can’t remember them really being successful because they were brown paper and string,” he said. Now his kites range in price from $20 to thousands of dollars. Mr Burrell said he enjoys travelling to kite festivals around Australia, meeting other likeminded kite enthusiasts. “I used to fish years ago, but now the line’s in a different direction”.

Picture: Yanni

New homes for wildlife PENBANK pupils are becoming expert at creating and maintaining habitats for wildlife as part of the Balcombe Creek Landcare program. The Moorooduc campus of the Woodleigh School won the Victorian Junior Landcare program last year and has qualified for this year’s Australian Landcare awards. Pupils from grades 5 and 6 regularly visit a Mornington Peninsula Shire reserve next to Tony O’Connor’s property in Century Drive, Mt Martha, where their creations are finding favour with the natural inhabitants. The pupils make possum boxes, frog ponds and lizard lounges and other cliff habitats. Mr O’Connor, president of the Balcombe and Moorooduc Landcare Group, said the reserve was ideal for the pupils’ projects. “My interests are to get the children involved in land care and in creating wildlife habitats,” said the former teacher. The land-care program was backed with a $10,000 shire grant three years ago. Others pupils involved in the program come from Benton Junior College and St Macartans Primary School, Mornington.

Parents baffled by childcare loss Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au PARENTS of children who attend child care and playgroups at Mornington Community Contact House were in limbo on Friday after liquidators moved in and closed the centre. Parents were only told the night before or Friday morning that the Albert Street centre was insolvent. Some had already paid for the year and were unsure whether they would get the money back. They also had no idea where they will take their children this week. Georgie Beck, of Mt Eliza, and Keli Wallace, who runs Daytripper Tours in

PERFECT DENTURES ARE MORE THAN JUST A

GREAT SMILE

Mornington, said they had both paid nearly $2000 for four terms of threeyear-old kinder. “We rocked up this morning and were told the centre had closed down,” Ms Wallace said. “I’m devastated. I rely on occasional care. As a business owner I need somewhere to take my kids, so I hope they can get something else going. “It’s horrible the centre has to go. I’ve had no time to process it. I really don’t know what I am going to do next.” Ms Beck said 10 pupils attended her child’s classes on Mondays, Tuesday and Wednesdays. “How can they take a year’s fees and then go bankrupt?” she asked.

Teachers walked out in tears on Friday morning as liquidator Norman Jones, of Courtney Jones and Associates, moved in. He said he was appointed by Mornington Community Contact’s management committee to oversee the voluntary winding up. He said Mornington Community Contact was “insolvent” but that he did not know “what has been paid and what is owed”. “We will look at the books and records and write to parents within seven days to tell them the situation,” he said. Mornington Peninsula Shire chief financial officer Matt Green said the council-owned property was leased to Mornington Community Contact.

was hired Thursday night and it was “not appropriate to tell parents details beyond that we have been appointed”. Mr Green said the shire had provided finance to the centre. He said “standard support” given to similar centres was $13,000 a year. Staff members at the centre were instructed not to speak to The News about the closure, although many were obviously upset. Set up in 1977 as a drop-in centre, meeting place and short term child minding centre, Mornington Community Contact moved to its present address in Albert Street in 1985 and grew to provide education and adult literacy programs, support for volunteers as well as playgroups and childcare.

“We are here today to do the best we can to ensure the continuation of [the centre’s] services to the community,” he said. “We are trying to understand the liquidator’s position and to step in and support the parents.” Mr Green said the shire would “work with the liquidators on ways to continue the centre’s valuable services”. Mr Jones said: “We would support that but only subject to personal liability.” The men agreed their investigations “may help to mitigate the loss of fees” by parents.

Charges follow ‘road rage’ at Rosebud Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au AN 18-year-old Mornington woman has been remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 14 March charged with robbery, carjacking, criminal damage by fire and theft of a motor vehicle. A 15-year-old Rosebud boy appeared at Frankston Children’s Court on Friday charged with similar offences from the same incident. A third man is still at large. The charges follow an alleged roadrage attack at Rosebud early Thursday (1 March) in which two teenagers say they were rammed by a four-wheeldrive and robbed. The pair, aged 18 and 17, told police a maroon 1999 Toyota four-wheeldrive was “deliberately” driven into their red Commodore in Waterfall Gully Road. After being forced off the road, the teenagers said, they were chased by three men they thought were from the Toyota who then allegedly stole their car, wallets and power tools. Their car was later found burnt-out in the car park at Gunnamatta beach, off Truemans Road, Rye. Detective Sergeant Peter Drake, of Somerville CIB, said that in another

incident at about the same time, a man and a woman who parked in a car in Hove Road near the Rosebud tennis courts were approached by a man from the Toyota who allegedly made threats and demanded money. He is described as being Caucasian, aged in his 20s, wearing a dark-coloured hoodie pulled over his head and bearded. No other descriptions were available. The car’s occupant, 19, threw out his wallet and phone and the Toyota drove off. No one was injured in either incident. Police said the Toyota had been stolen from the driveway of a Rye house on Tuesday. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Lost ‘treasure’ A LANGWARRIN South, 32, man suffered burns to his hands and smoke inhalation when his “pride and joy” 1955 Ford Mercury car caught fire, 9.15am, Monday 26 February. Somerville Highway Patrol police were responding to a collision in Rye when they smelled burning rubber. They found the car “fully engulfed” in the garage of the in Golf Links Road property.

Parking, a problem to move mussels Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au PETER Lillie has a problem with customers not being able to park their vehicles alongside his retail outlet. While that may not sound too strange to some shopping strip retailers, Mr Lillie doesn’t have a run of the mill shop. His wares are harvested from under the sea and his selling space is the back of a boat anchored at Mornington pier. Mr Lillie has a 90-hectare mussel farm off Mt Martha and while most of his annual harvest goes to wholesalers, he’s being encouraged to sell the shellfish from the back of his boat. “We’re encouraged by Parks Victoria [which controls and leases boat berths at the pier] to sell to the public off the back of the boat, but the [Mornington Peninsula] shire won’t designate a short term car park nearby for our customers,” Mr Lillie said. “The three mussel guys over at Portarlington have 10 designated parking spaces.” There are also problems in parking his truck when his two mussel boats are off tending to the farm, although he has a key to get onto the rockpaved part of the pier. A 15-minute loading bay near his boat berth is used for unloading up to four tonnes of mussels three times a week. Mr Lillie says the shire, which says it supports the local aquaculture industry, frustrates him. The mayor, Cr Bryan Payne was last month quoted in a shire news

Bay farmer: Peter Lillie farms mussels in Port Phillip off Mt Martha and Flinders in Western Port. Picture: Keith Platt

release as saying the “local aquaculture and seafood sector brings many benefits to the region”. The news release followed the announcement of three-year Seagate licences for the industry to sell produce from trucks or caravans parked near the foreshore at Hastings, Safety Beach and Flinders. Mr Lillie’s business, Bay Sea Farms

is not part of the Seagate system as his mussels are sold from the boat, not council-controlled property. “The industry contributes to the region’s land and sea connection, enhances the identity of marine-based food production, ensures products are seasonal and increases their contribution to the local economy,” Cr Payne said.

LABOUR DAY WEEKEND

To make matters worse from Mr Lillie’s point of view, the shire used his photo as an example of a Seagate permit operator. The news release identified the person in the picture as Geoff Newing, of Peninsula Fresh Seafoods, a business that does sell seafood under the Seagate system at Hastings and Safety Beach (“Sales high and dry for undersea farmers”

The News 13/2/18). Last week Mr Lillie had moved on from the identity problem as he oversaw cleaning and packaging of his latest “catch” at his factory in Bennetts Road, Mornington. The mussels are grown on lengths of rope held in place over seabed within the licenced offshore aquaculture area. The current 90ha will soon be expanded to 150ha. Mr Lillie also has another 12ha aquaculture farm at Flinders. The mussels begin their lives in a commercial hatchery at Queenscliff where adult mussels are taken to spawn. The resulting sprat attached themselves to a rope. When they are about 20mm long, the young mussels are then brought across the bay where they are helped onto a thicker rope and held in place with cotton “sock”. The sock disintegrates within about six weeks, leaving the mussels to grow freely on the ropes hanging in the aquaculture farm. After about 12 months they have grown to 75-90mm and are ready for harvesting. Bay Sea Farms is also researching and growing native oysters. A former long line fisherman and abalone farmer (at Portland until the farmed shellfish were wiped out by a virus) Mr Lillie sees mussels as being the company’s present and future. His annual harvest is about 300 tonnes, or close to 12 million mussels sold mostly to Melbourne-based wholesalers.

RAIN didn’t deter more than 3500 movie buffs from attending the Cobs Peninsula Film Festival at Rosebud, Saturday 10 February. The festival has been held at the Rosebud Village Green since 2011 and receives $40,000 from the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Arts and Culture team. Festival director Steve Bastoni said he was thrilled with its success. “Once again the support of the shire, and the local community engagement, [has been] a critical factor in delivering a successful event,” he said. “We are pleased to see the event gaining national exposure and attracting punters from interstate.” This year’s winners were Shot Clock by Matthew Jenkins; Hoarder Control by Nicholas Colla and Nicolette Minster (second) and The Hamster King by Karen McPherson (third). The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the shire had sponsored the festival for the past eight years and “we’re pleased to have supported this wellloved community event again this year” as part of the council’s 2017-18 budget. Celebrity judges included Isabel Lucas, Lachy Hulme, Michala Banas, Jane Kennedy, Leah Purcell and Nick Batzias. Up to $30,000 can be awarded in cash and prizes.

A new chapter for readers and writers A NEW writers’ festival is set to make its debut in Mornington. The Mornington Peninsula Writers Festival will be hosted by the Frankston Writers and Poets Society at the Peninsula Community Theatre on Saturday (10 March). Several established writers including Andrew Rule (co-author of the Underbelly and Chopper books), Paul Kennedy (ABC journalist and author of books including Fifteen Young Men about the tragic 1892 drowning of Mornington Football Club players), Garry Disher (author of several crime novels set on the peninsula), The Age scribe and author Anson Cameron and Nicky Johnson (author and illustrator of several children’s books including Go Away, Mr Worrythoughts!) will give author talks on stage and take part in questions and answers session with festival attendees. Renowned priest, community worker and media personality Father Bob Maguire — himself the subject of a biography called Father Bob: The Larrikin Priest by Sue Williams — is also a speaker at the Mornington festival. Frankston Writers and Poets Society president Beverley Allen said she started the group last July and is looking forward to the first Mornington Peninsula Writers Festival for writers and readers. “I felt there was a need for people with a diverse set of writing skills to come together in a friendly and nonformal type of atmosphere,” she said. The writers group meets regularly at Frankston Library. The now retired professional travel features writer joked she has “never

worked so hard in all my life” arranging the festival. “I have a passion for it and I want to do it for the emerging writers.” The festival at one stage looked in doubt when Frankston Council declined a funding grant application to host the event in Frankston. Ms Allen said the first festival was saved by donations including a substantial one from writers’ group

member Alma Jacovou which kickstarted fundraising efforts. “She joined the group and found she had stories inside her. She’d never written anything formally before and so it is great to see her writing emerge,” Ms Allen said. Farrell’s Bookshop in Mornington and Busybird Publishing were also donors.

Champ’s feats not forgotten

Out of Africa: Teacher Gemma Sisia with pupils at St Jude’s school, Arusha, Tanzania. Picture: Supplied

Top attendance at St Jude’s THE speaker at a McCrae lunch last week gave an insight into a subject dear to their hearts: Children attending a school in Africa. Teacher Gemma Sisia was speaking to members of the Southern Peninsula Friends of St Jude’s, a charitable group which supports a school for poor children in Arusha, Tanzania, which began in 2002. No fees are charged and many groups such as the friends and Rotary clubs here and in other countries, sponsor the children and keep the school well equipped. Pupils start at grade 4 and continue until they finish school.

The school has 1800 students who are picked up by bus each day and taken to school where uniforms and meals are provided. One of the school’s successes has been to educate girls whose education usually ended at grade 4. When Ms Sisia began the school had three students – now there are three campuses teaching boys and girls from prep to year 12. Lunch host Bev Abbott described Ms Sisia as an “amazing young lady” who has received an Order of Australia medal for her work.

CHAMPION boxer Johnny Famechon is finding a newfound appreciation of his sporting achievements among younger generations in the wake of the unveiling of a sculpture in his likeness and honour at Frankston’s Ballam Park. The 72-year-old former boxer visited the Mt Eliza Boxing Centre late last month after the statue’s official unveiling and was greeted with lots of questions from children about his boxing heyday in the late 1960s when Famechon was a champion of the world. The longtime Frankston resident has inspired and mentored young people since retiring from boxing in 1970, the year after taking out the World Featherweight Championship against Cuban Jose Legra and the year he defended the title twice in bouts against Japan’s Fighting Harada. Mt Eliza Boxing Centre owner Ron Smith said he and wife Sharyn who co-manages the gym were happy to see the children know about Famechon’s boxing prowess. “He visited during a school holiday program to teach kids about boxing so John was quite enthused about coming along to have some input,” Smith said. “When people ask him serious questions about boxing training and health he is very on the ball. “He was very impressed by the level of some of the kids there.” Famechon’s wife, Glenys, said Smith visits Famechon at home once a week to work of physio and boxing training to keep the champ

on his feet. Famechon suffered brain injuries after being hit by a car while jogging in Sydney 25 years ago. Wife Glenys said Smith does “wonderful work” keeping children who visit the Mt Eliza gym fit and health. “Ron also visits John at home and puts him through his paces out of the goodness of his heart including legwork to keep John’s fitness up,” she said. “He’s done that for about seven years and he and his wife are a great help to John.” The Ballam Park 2.5-high bronze sculpture of the boxing champ in his youthful pomp, installed after an im-

pressive $180,000 fundraising effort over several years by boxing fans, now stands as a fitting testament to Famechon’s feats. Famechon was inducted into the Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame in 2003 and was elevated to Legend status in 2012. Smith says the boxing fitness training is not just for children who want to step into the ring. “I try mainly to teach them about self-respect and not getting into fights. I’ve found over the years that once they have learned boxing or martial arts they can walk away from idiots at parties and all that.” Neil Walker

‘Sensation’ when kings return to bay

Proudly published by Mornington Peninsula News Group Pty. Ltd

PHONE: 03 5973 6424

LARGE numbers of baby King George whiting have been recorded in fisheries surveys of Port Phillip for the second consecutive year. Victorian Fisheries Authority ceo Travis Dowling said anglers could expect “sensational fishing” from 2019 to 2021 when the juvenile whiting detected in 2016 and 2017 will have grown to a catchable size. The large number of juvenile whiting in Port Phillip are also seen as a pointer to what anglers can expect in Western Port. “Scientists have conducted annual surveys of small juvenile whiting in the bay’s seagrass beds since 1998 to help forecast the abundance of stocks and manage the fishery sustainably,” Mr Dowling said. “Two very strong years in a row is wonderful news and will get more people fishing, more often, which is at the core of the state government’s Target One Million plan that’s investing a record $46 million into a suite of projects to grow participation in recreational fishing, including bringing an end to all commercial net fishing in the bay by 2022.” Mr Dowling said whiting larvae drifted east from spawning grounds off far western Victoria and eastern South Australia for about three months before entering bays and estuaries during spring when scientists conducted the surveys. “Westerly winds help drive the currents that bring the whiting larvae into our bays, where they take about two years to reach the legal minimum size of 27 centimetres,” Mr Dowling said. “At about four years of age, most

whiting have left the bays to complete their adult life in coastal waters. “Because whiting only reside in the bays for a few years of their life, these fisheries naturally fluctuate depending on the number of tiny larvae that entered the bays several years prior. “People fishing outside the bays along the coast can expect increased catches of larger whiting during the early 2020s, as maturing fish move out to coastal waters.” In Victoria there is a daily bag limit of 20 King George whiting a person and they must be landed whole or in carcass form. Meanwhile, researchers at The University of Western Australia say sharks take about 12 per cent of recreationally caught fish in the Ningaloo region. Close to 40 per cent of the more than 400 anglers interviewed by the re-

MANY of the of baby King George whiting being seen in Port Phillip and Western Port are likely to return as catchable adults in two to three years.

searchers had experienced a shark biteoff on their most recent fishing trip. Areas fished more frequently reported higher shark bite-off rates, which was hypothesizsed to be due to a behavioural change where the sharks associate the presence of boats with the availability of hooked fish to feed on. Additionally, areas with high catches for recreational fishers may also be good feeding habitats for sharks so have higher concentrations of the predators which lead to higher numbers of interactions with hooked fish. Lead author and PhD student Jonathan Mitchell from UWA said the study will act as a baseline, allowing researchers and fishery managers to identify changes over time and develop science-based mitigation strategies. “By identifying areas and depths at which bite-offs are more likely to occur, fishers can avoid these areas to immediately have a better chance of reducing bite-offs,” Mr Mitchell said. “Modifying fishing techniques by spending less time at each site and moving to a different location as soon as a fish is taken by sharks, may help to prevent sharks from learning to associate fishing activities with food and increase a fisher’s chances of avoiding further bite-offs. The findings are important to fishers and both marine park and fisheries managers as.” The researchers aim to identify shark species involved and learn more about their behaviour to identify ways in which shark bite-offs can be reduced.

Movie thriller mirrors real-life pain

Saints feed homeless

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A PSYCHOLOGICAL thriller set in the small fictional beachside town of The Dunes on the Mornington Peninsula is being made by Martin Copping, who grew up here but now lives and works in the film industry in the US. The film, now in its final production stages, follows Los Angeles journalist Nicholas Rice who returns home to settle some family issues and sell property. While he’s here, a “mysterious figure from his past re-emerges and threatens his entire existence”. Copping promotes the story as a “cautionary tale: people need to face up to their problems and not run away from them”. The actor, producer and director said he had shot The Dunes “well under budget”. Copping said his film had a “production value of roughly $1 million” but he was able to bring it in for less than $50,000. “I was able to do this via a successful Kickstarter campaign and from calling in many favours that my 20plus years in the Australian and US film and TV industries have afforded me,” he said. Copping wrote, produced, directed and starred in the movie which he said was “inspired after losing my mother to alcoholism”. She died at Rosebud Hospital in 2016. “Through the film I want to spread awareness of substance abuse and mental health issues,” he said.

Peninsula performers: Maria Volk, whom appears in The Dunes with its writer, producer, director and performer Martin Copping. Picture: Supplied

The film was mostly shot in Rye and at the Blairgowrie back beach, with some parts shot in Los Angeles. “I’ve spent a lot of my life on the Mornington Peninsula and I’m incredibly passionate about this landscape,” Copping said. “I was in Australia until mid-February shooting final pick-up shots for the movie.” Copping said other Australian actors featuring in the film were Tim Phillipps (Neighbours, Animal Kingdom),

Dinner

Jacinta Stapleton (Never Tear us Apart: INXS, Shappelle), David Ross Patterson (Frost/Nixon, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Alexandra Davies (X-MEN Origins: Wolverine, McLeods Daughters), Maria Volk (Wolf Creek 2, The Pacific), and Kate Neilson (Killer Elite). Copping, 40, has appeared in Hawaii 5-0, Zombie Hunter and Forbidden Ground, as well as Australian television series such as Blue Heelers, Neighbours, Good Guys Bad Guys

and Ocean Girl. He said Stapleton, Volk, and Neilson “have all spent a lot of time on the peninsula over the years”. “Both my parents were in the film industry and lived here,” he said. “My dad, Robin Copping, lives in The Village Glen, Capel Sound. He was a prominent figure in the Australian film industry when I was growing up.” The Dunes is expected to be released in early 2019.

The 90th RED

SAINTS “in shining armour” have made up a cash shortfall to buy a mobile kitchen trailer to help feed homeless and disadvantaged people in the Frankston area. Karingal Hub shopping centre has donated $8000 to Life-Gate after Frankston Council last month failed to support a submission to Frankston Council’s midyear budget review. Life-Gate co-founder, the Reverend Angel Roldan, told councillors at January’s public council meeting that $28,000 towards the $36,000 kitchen trailer had been raised from corporate and federal government donors. St Kilda Football Club has also invited Life-Gate to be the AFL club’s charity partner at this year’s Saints Season Launch event. Money raised at the 9 March season launch will be donated to Life Gate’s Meals For Change mobile kitchen to cover extra costs and buy food. “We’re amazed at how the community has come together to cover this shortfall,” the Rev Roldan said, describing the donors as "knights in shining armour". “We would love to see the community come along to the Saints season launch to support this worthy cause.” Neighbouring Kingston Council introduced a Quick Response Grants program after the Labor state government axed councillors’ discretionary ward grants in 2015 following controversy over grants being given to groups with political affiliations. n St Kilda Football Club’s Season Launch is at Frankston Park Oval on Friday 9 March, 6-8.30pm.

Libs back on beat at police station

Airlift for jet skier

Locked out: Liberl MPs Edward O’Donohue and Neale Burgessn show an intercom is the way to gain the attention of police inside the Somerville station. Picture: Gary Sissons

A JET SKI rider who got into trouble off Frankston on Thursday afternoon (1 March) was rescued by a Victoria Police helicopter. The 54-year-old Mt Eliza man had fallen off the jet ski. He was winched aboard and taken back to shore, where an ambulance took him by road to hospital for observation. His craft slowly drifted onto the beach. Picture:Gary Sissons

Hoon trouble A 15-YEAR-OLD Hastings boy is expected to be charged on summons after police seized several bikes, and a four-wheel-motorbike, under Mornington Peninsula Shire local laws. The seizures followed complaints about youths “causing trouble” while riding recreational vehicles, the Mornington Peninsula police Eyewatch page reported. Hastings police urge anyone with recent footage of youths riding the bikes to call 5970 7800.

Battle for order

Warrant for arrest A HASTINGS man who failed to turn up at court is wanted by police. Joel Grass, 36, (above) is described as 180cm tall, medium build, with short black hair. He is said to frequent the Hastings, Crib Point and Frankston areas.

HASTINGS police used capsicum spray to disperse a crowd gathered around their patrol car in High Street, 11.20pm, Friday 23 February. Earlier, police had spoken to groups of young people in the McDonald’s car park who had been celebrating at the Western Port festival. Two girls reportedly fought each other as police tried to restore order. A disqualified driver will be interviewed by police after being found at the wheel of a car.

HASTINGS Liberal MP Neale Burgess has not given up on his efforts to have Somerville police station open its doors to the public. With a state election in November, Mr Burgess last week returned to the police station accompanied by shadow police spokesman Edward O’Donohue and eight “concerned local residents” to emphasise how hard it is to speak with police. Mr Burgess says the $16.3 million station - “funded and built” by the previous Liberal Nationals coalition government – was originally to be

open to the public. “Victoria Police and its then chief commissioner, Ken Lay, confirmed in writing, shortly before the 2014 state election, that Somerville would open as a fully functional police station, complete with a public service counter, cells and full local policing contingent.” However, he said, the incoming Labor government changed all that making it “very likely that [the Premier] Daniel Andrews is the first ever premier to play politics with the safety of a community by refusing to open a brand new fully fitted out

police station”. Mr Burgess said police had been sent to “marginal Labor electorates” instead of Somerville. Mr O’Donohue said that if elected to government in November the coalition “will ensure appropriate numbers of uniformed general duties police are available to Victoria Police to open the Somerville station for local policing and to the public”. As for Neale Burgess, the long-campaigning MP for Hastings, he “won’t rest until it’s opened and protecting this local community”.

Connecting our townships Walk, run or ride from Red Hill to Bittern Mornington Peninsula Shire is working to improve connections for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders with plans to link the existing Red Hill Rail Trail to a new trail running through Merricks, Balnarring and Bittern. The Shire has developed three concept designs for a shared path between Bittern Station and Merricks Station Reserve connecting to the existing seven-kilometre track which

is among the peninsula’s most popular trails. An interactive drop in session is being held to gather community feedback on the proposed route plans as well as design elements of the trail including signage, pedestrian crossings, furniture, planting and materials. Participants will be able to comment on each of the three route plans or design their own.

Have your say In person: 5 – 7 pm, Wednesday 14 March, 2018, Balnarring Hall Shire staff will be there to answer questions and gather your ideas. Or at Shire Customer Service Centres Online: mornpen.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay

Libs want cop shop at Bayside Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON’S Bayside Shopping Centre has been earmarked for one of 12 new police “shopfronts” if the Liberal Nationals coalition wins the November state election. The $7.2 million plan to put police inside some of the state’s main shopping centres is described as a “new approach to policing and community engagement providing a more visible police presence to deter crime”. Bayside’s executive general manager Justin Mills said the opposition’s proposal was “another way we can build on our longstanding partnership with Victoria Police, to engage our communities, and make our centres destinations people love to visit and connect with.” The shopfronts are the opposition’s latest law and order proposal to counter what it says is a “crime wave with assaults up 17.2 per cent, theft up 15.7 per cent and robbery up 32.4 per cent under Labor”. Other shopping centres to get police will be built outside Chadstone, Highpoint, Northland, Craigieburn, Doncaster, The Glen, Southland, Eastland, Knox City, Fountain Gate and Westfield Geelong. The shopping centres will supply space for the shopfronts. Frankston Detective Senior Sergeant Michael Lamb – the endorsed Liberal candidate for Frankston – described the shopfronts concept as an “outstanding idea”.

“It’s a good use of police resources and will increase the police presence in a place where lots of people are,” he said. Detective Lamb, now stationed at Mornington, said the shopfronts – to be manned by “extra police” – were part of a “pro-active initiative to help make Victoria safe again”. They are part of a package of opposition policies on justice, including reforming bail and parole laws and a mandatory sentencing regime. Opposition leader Matthew Guy, who went to Highpoint at Maribyrnong to simultaneously announce the shopfronts, said a coalition government would “work collaboratively with police and shopping centre operators to proactively improve community safety for visitors, retailers, their staff and local communities”. “There is a real opportunity to improve community safety for the tens of thousands of Victorians who visit our large shopping and entertainment centres every day,” he said. “Shopping centres are major focal points for the community and among the most visited places across Victoria. “Victorians deeply respect the work our police do but they want to see them more engaged in the community for reassurance, prevention and as community leaders.” He said the opposition had “consulted widely in the development of this policy initiative with Victoria Police, the police association and shopping centre operators” who, he said, were “happy to partner with police and provide space for police shopfronts and associated facilities”.

Tractor rollover in Langwarrin A MAN in his 40s was flown to The Alfred Hospital, Sunday 25 February, after being injured in a tractor rollover on a private property at Langwarrin. He was said on Wednesday to be in a “stable” condition. The man was slashing blackberries in Warrandyte Road, opposite a car wreckers, when he hit a tree stump causing his tractor to tip over. Police said the tractor had no rollover bars and the driver was lucky not to receive more serious injuries. CFA and ambulance services also attended the incident. Police said off-road collisions were common in semi-rural areas of Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. They said accidents often occur when drivers neglect to engage handbrakes on steep driveways.

PSOs call for back-up PSOS at Frankston station were forced to use capsicum spray to defend themselves from four men who threw bottles and attacked their pod, 10.26pm, Tuesday 27 February. A Hastings man, 18, was arrested and taken into custody after allegedly trying to steal bikes from the shed. His three mates ran off but returned and allegedly attacked the pod, throwing bottles and kicking the door. The PSOs called for back-up and the men dispersed.

‘Ridiculous’ speed A MAZDA 3 being pursued along Peninsula Link allegedly hit “ridiculous” speeds of more than 200kph before the chase was called off, Monday 26 February. The dark-coloured car, bearing stolen plates, was driving south, 12.33am, when police attempted to intercept it. It later exited at Bungower Road, Mornington.

ON THE COVER

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

CLASS AND STYLE WITH BREATHTAKING VIEWS HOLDING an enviable position in one of Mount Elizaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prized locations, this double storey home showcases in equal measure contemporary style and beach house charm. A multi-level alfresco deck overlooks a fantastic in-ground pool ensconced in a lavish garden setting, however even this pleasurable outlook can come in second to the visions across the tree tops where the waters of Port Philip Bay and a kaleidoscope of colours at sunset awaits. The property has that rare instant appeal for those who appreciate quality and design with a free flowing interior - highlighted by gleaming polished timber fooors - offering a personality that will cater to the casual or sophisticated entertainer. From the wide entry you are straight into a large family room which forms the hub of the home. Branching off from here is the master bedroom with built-in robe and ensuite, straight ahead is a second light-filled living zone, and to the right is a spacious dining zone that adjoins the functional kitchen. A range of stainlesssteel appliances inlcude a dishwasher and under-bench oven, there is a walk-in pantry and discreetly tucked around to the left is the laundry. The huge timber deck embraces the home on three sides with access points from the second living area out to an under-cover alfresco and from the dining space through a set of quaint timber doors. A spiral staircase takes you up to a third splendid living zone perfect for a rumpus with two more bedrooms, both with built-in robes, sharing the upstairs bathroom. The larger of the two bedrooms opens out to another private deck, as does the lounge area which provides a higher elevation from which to enjoy the breathtaking view. Full of welcome natural light with superb entertaining zones that greatly accentuate the already impressive sense of space, this enchanting home also has a garage with work shop, and is a short walk to Moondah & Ranelagh beaches.n

“Brendan was referred to us by some friends who had purchased their home with his help. From the minute we called for a property valuation to the signing of the contract, Brendan was amiable, enthusiastic and professional, encouraging at all times and reassuring us that we were doing all the right things. It wasn’t necessary to contact Brendan as he always kept us up to date, although we were convinced he never goes home as he was always available. Our home took less than 2 weeks to sell as the original valuation was accurate and the ship was navigated by a truly competent captain. We thank the whole team at Bonaccorde, it was a complete privilege to put our home in their hands.”

Take care when deciding on contract for CEO The contract with the incumbent CEO at Mornington Peninsula Shire is soon coming to an end. Ratepayers are demanding a better deal (“Expert called in over CEO’s job” The News 20/2/18). The current CEO is clearly one of the best paid persons in a position such as this throughout Victoria and, who knows, possibly Australia. Can we really afford him? My understanding is that this person is not a resident in our area. Surely we need a person from our region who understands our concerns and our needs? Further, my understanding is that the current CEO enjoys a fully-maintained office in metropolitan Melbourne. Why? This is not an insignificant cost to the Ratepayers It is public knowledge that the current CEO accepted a free holiday aboard a luxury yacht from one of our richest ratepayers for himself and his partner. This is, in my opinion, a gross error of judgement for a person in his position and should be taken into account by councillors, notwithstanding that he has claimed that his travel costs to and from the yacht were to his account (“Opening the books on shire gifts” The News 6/2/18). There will always be a negative perception on the part of ordinary ratepayers of an activity such as this. Finally a message to councillors: in appointing this current CEO, in my opinion, you were extremely generous with our money. This time around remember that a lot of your ratepayers are pensioners, it’s our money and we are asking that you consider the next appointment very carefully. Your success in future elections may depend upon it. Bob Robinson, Mornington

Recycling waste Upon arriving at the Mornington waste transfer station with our meticulously separated glass and plastic waste, I noticed one of the large rubbish trucks in the yard. All the bins for glass and plastic were full and the driver just started to empty a bin in the truck. I asked him where to put the plastic as by the noise the truck made I assumed he was only picking up glass bottles. He told me to put plastic and the glass bottles together in a bin. At first I thought he was joking as I up until this point was under the impression that we were doing the right thing by separating our recyclables. The driver told me the glass and plastic “go together in the truck anyway”. He said glass and plastic were taken to Rye to be sorted. Firstly, for someone who grew up in a country that was recycling plastic and glass 30 years ago that seems to me a massive waste of resources. Secondly, I sincerely hope that the glass and plastic are really sorted at a later date and not ploughed into the landfill. Either way, the whole situation takes the mickey out of all the people who do the right thing and go through the effort to separate their waste and come to the waste transfer station. Why do it? Maybe the CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire with his newly gained wisdom from the climate change summit or the waste management team with the grand recycling insights from a China trip (China does not strike me as a country that is at the forefront of recycling) are able to shine some light on this. Clemens Unger, Mornington

Quiz on The Pillars We are all indebted to Geoff Trowsdale for setting the record straight (”The Pillars are there to be enjoyed by all” Letters 20/2/18). How could we have been so self-centred and naive? But seriously, to take the moral high ground and lecture the local residents is appalling. Perhaps we could do a little Q&A for clarity on his position: Did he attend the meeting with police, CFA, SES, ambulance, Department Land Water and Planning, VicRoads and other relevant parties? No. Does he actually know what the issues actually are regarding The Pillars? No.

Has he visited streets in the area on high use days and observed the rubbish, faeces, and yes, rats on people’s nature strips? No. Has he driven along the Esplanade with people walking two or three abreast onto the road? No. Has he seen the complexity required to rescue injured youths from the base of the cliff? No. Does he know that it is illegal to jump from a pier/jetty but not from a cliff? No. Has he been in the water swimming among floating beer bottles before they sink and break? No. Is he aware that Mornington Peninsula Shire collects litter three times daily from the area, but still it accumulates on the cliff face and other non-accessible areas? No. Is he aware that The Pillars is a protected heritage site due to the Aboriginal middens on top of the cliff? No. I could go on, but won’t. I do not live in the streets by The Pillars but I think his letter is embarrassingly naive and wonder if he has been to The Pillars. Phil Evans, Mt Martha

Keeping up to speed Have read your very interesting article regarding the speed limits on Mornington’s roads (“MPs lobbied to slow speedsters” The News 20/2/18). We also have to endure between September and April 50kph along the Esplanade in Mt Martha proper and of late some Mickey Mouse speed radar gizmo telling us that we should travel at 40kpm also along the Esplanade because as it says there is a lot of “Ped” traffic on the road. Yet it is clearly and legally marked at 60kph all along the Esplanade. My other “beef” is that if could you get yourselves and your newspaper(s) to finally accept that there is no such things as kph. It would at best mean Kilo’s per hoorah. The forward slash is internationally used for the word per. Like in “percent” it’s % or kph its km/hr or km/h. Lets (sic) use that forward slash for what it was designed for, it replaces the “per”. Its (sic) time for the Australian writers guild to move on with the times. Fred Binder, Mt Martha Editor: Despite Mr Binder’s suggestion, The News will continue to use kph to denote kilometres per hour. The “gizmo” he refers to on the Esplanade, Mt Martha indicates a vehicle’s speed and is one of the devices being made to make it safer for pedestrians to access The Pillars rock jumping site.

Pool shambles The shambles with the Rosebud pool continues and with costs of up to $55 million at stake we wonder how long it will be before the state government appoints an administrator. Last December, four of the 11 Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors decided that a 10 lane, 50 metre pool is needed. This is despite the council saying for 15 years that a 25 metre pool is appropriate, and the recent business case re-confirming that the additional cost of $7.62 million is a waste of money. Not being content that $10 million dollars has already been squandered, including the purchase of the now dud Rosebud central shopping centre site, the incompetence continues. Only three months after asking the community to have its say we have another survey on the same issue: Do you prefer the 25 or a massive 50 metre pool? The survey will only measure how successful the active pro 50 metre lobby is. A 10 lane 50 metre pool complex for Rosebud the same size as the Commonwealth Games pool at Albert Park and the new aquatic centre at Frankston is ridiculous. The population capture for Rosebud is only 43,000 people compared to Frankston’s 150,000. The Rosebud pool will also be competing for the same patronage with the existing Colchester Road pool only one kilometre away. The business case shows that there will only be an average of two extra people swimming in the 50 metre pool compared to the 25 metre

pool. Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ Association supports a fit for purpose pool. It is unethical and against the government’s competitive neutrality policy to incorporate “nice to have” extras and then subsidise the entry cost using council rates which will affect the viability of local pool and fitness businesses. Dr Alan Nelsen, secretary Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ Association

Where’s the money Last year, Nepean MP Martin Dixon gleefully informed us that he approved a grant of $3m from the “better pools” fund for the Rosebud SPA project. He went further by criticising [the Premier] Dan Andrews for not honouring that commitment. However, there were a couple of things that Mr Dixon failed to mention. The “better pools” fund is managed by Sport and Recreation Victoria and is only open to local government authorities to make application for a grant of up to $3m. For an application to be considered, it needs to have been approved and be “shovel ready”. The Rosebud SPA project did not get close to achieving either of these threshold tests. So I see Mr Dixon’s barb toward Daniel Andrews as pure political spin-doctoring. He also forgot to mention that at the time he “allegedly” approved $3m for Rosebud, his government granted $12.6m for Frankston’s PARC project, which was then matched by [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt’s federal government’s 13.4m grant. Frankston received nearly 40 per cent of its project cost from government grants, whereas we Mornington Peninsula residents would have got less than 6 per cent funded from this source. The joys of being a marginal seat. I hope the mayor Cr Bryan Payne – who supports what I see as a financially irresponsible 50m pool option for Rosebud – has arranged for government grants so a pool will not be a further financial burden upon shire ratepayers. Stuart Allen, Dromana

Build bigger pool I really don’t know what all the talk about a decent water sport centre on the Mornington Peninsula is all about, but as far as I’m concerned the shire should get on with it and build a 50m pool at Rosebud. This would make sense to me, because civic infrastructure should be planned with a view to the future (“Case builds against 50m pool” The News 27/2/18). To build a pool that would most likely be outgrown by an ever increasing population on the peninsula in the foreseeable future, sounds like doing things on the cheap. I sympathise with the sentiments of the Red Hill ward concerns of not getting our fair share of council investment, but if we build infrastructure it should be of sufficient quality to be an asset for some time to come. It also would make a lot of sense to improve our transport infrastructure to enable all of the peninsula residents to be able enjoy the pool. Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Olympic heritage Wow. That’s all I can say about your article (“Case builds against 50m pool” The News 27/2/18). How disappointing that you allow a retired businessman try and deprive the community a new pool. For years the grey army has refused to allow a new pool, and it’s wrong. Yes we all have to pay for it, but it’s for the benefit of all. Our children need a pool to learn and train in. We are a sporting nation and Olympics swimming is our national heritage. I would like to see a 50m pool so our children and future generations can compete and take gold at the Olympics. I find it hard to believe what Colin Watson has to say about it. Of course he won’t need a pool as Portsea has the largest number of “pool and tennis courts” per square metre that anywhere else in Melbourne. Nigel Dewar, Rosebud

Protection needed Well said Brenda Rowlands, the protection provided for bus passengers at the new bus interchange at Frankston train station is appalling (“Gimme shelter” Letters 27/2/18). The small shelter (with seating for four and a roof that barely covers the seat) provided at each bus stop is totally inadequate. Surely protection from the elements is a criteria that should be foremost in the mind of the designer of a bus Interchange –

temporary or permanent? This interchange is the starting point for many routes and many passengers (a bus full for the Portsea bus) congregate and have to wait, often for long periods if trains or buses are not on time. The shelters require most waiting passengers to stand without protection in hot sun or pouring rain. This is unpardonable and in no way demonstrates the stated desire by the government (state or local) to encourage the use of public transport. Passengers who use the interchange please make the most of modern technology and communicate your despair to your local councillor, your local MP (the office of Paul Edbrooke MLA is quite close to the interchange) and the Minister for Public Transport Jacinta Allen. Maybe some better protection will be coming before winter. Norman Crook, Rosebud

Fighting back Last week a man tackled an armed robber in the street, wrested the rifle from him as his mate took off and the bloke turned the gun on the would-be robber. It seems the rifle wasn’t loaded. The disturbing thing is that this could start a trend where people might actually start defending themselves as they used to instead of locking themselves in bathrooms as we are instructed to do while houses are ransacked. After all, that cowardly thug who would have been treated softly by the judicial system if caught could have been seriously hurt or worse. Too terrible to think about. Aussie (Austin) Sadler, Mornington

Criticism ‘not fake news’ Strong criticism of the council’s performance could have helped make Frankston the major population centre envisaged by the state government and by council. Councillors have been unable to make Frankston a popular location. To cover their mistakes they suppress criticism and are not genuinely interested in good ideas. They want big things for the city, but it is all done in an amateurish way. There is also a lack of leadership. Midway into the CEO’s second term of office, the Frankston Arts Centre is suffering loss of patronage and there are vacant shops in every street. To keep up appearances, council grants mean some shops reopen only to go broke not long after. The council should consider creating more free parking spaces.   Some property developers, frustrated by council, have sold their sites; others have postponed construction indefinitely. The yacht club would be very popular if the first floor had an easily accessible terrace where patrons could sit, enjoy the view over the bay and enjoy a coffee to a large meal, from breakfast in the morning to dinner time. Instead, a wooden structure similar to a fortress was built. Both the cafe and the restaurant are unoccupied. Wells Street seems to have been constructed from left-over tiles and other junk picked up during hard waste collections. It is not glamorous, although it was meant to be. Instead of accusing us of negative talk and newspapers of printing “fake news” those responsible for the wastage of money and of ruining Frankston’s potential should show respect for ratepayers and resign. Paul Francis, Frankston South

Push button, talk Tim Bassett questions the use of two-way radios in taxis, emergency vehicles and by commercial organisations which are regulated by the Australian Communications and Media Authority along with VicRoads under rule 300 (“Mobile defender” Letters 20/2/18) . This rule covers the commercial use of microphones when using two-way radios. Most two-way radios are fixed on a frequency and only require the press-to-talk button to operate, unlike a mobile phone which is most often used to reply to text messages. This action directs the attention away from the road and surroundings. I’m sure the coroner has phone use stats. I drive around 600 kilometres a week in all sorts of traffic and witness erratic driving and inattention from drivers using mobile phones. Bob Tait, Seaford Mornington News 6 March 2018

Hearing aids have evolved over the years from the ‘Ear trumpet’ and ‘Body aid’ (a hearing box worn on the body) to the current generation of highly sophisticated digital hearing aids. From the mid-1990s, hearing aid technology has advanced significantly due to the use of Digital Signal Processing (DSP). This has Because Therapy allowed it toof beOccupational drastically smaller in size, I cansound live atquality, home superior produce higher I can take offine-tuning myself noise filtering, andcare better capabilities.I can earn a living I can get around Today’s modern hearing aids include And I canand have fun! wireless technology Bluetooth, which allows you to connect to devices like your OCCUPATIONAL Therapists mobile phone, iPad, television or laptop.

batteries near its life cycle?’ or ‘what happens if I forgot to bring the charger on a long trip?’, these are some of the shortcomings of the built-in rechargeable batteries. Other manufacturers have gone the other route by using replaceable rechargeable batteries. It usually requires you to swap out your hearing aid battery door for a special battery door that converts your hearing aids into rechargeable (keeping in mind that your hearing aids have to be compatible). It does take longer to charge than the aforementioned rechargeable aids but if you leave it charged overnight, they will be ready to go when you wake

up. The advantage of this method is that it can use the conventional hearing aid batteries too. So, if you forgot the charger or forgot to charge them all together, you can easily pop in a conventional hearing aid battery and you’re all set to go. The lifespan of the replaceable rechargeable battery is 12-18 months. No matter if you decide on built-in rechargeable batteries or a replaceable battery, if you would like more information or assistance with your hearing aids, please contact our Audiologist, Robin Tu, in Mt Eliza on 9708 8626. He’s ready for your calls and any questions you may have.

WHAT’S NEW...

Mornington Peninsula Writers Festival

Play On: The art of sport For many artists, sport has already been a ‘happy hunting ground’ within their practice. Australia’s mythology, sense of identity and achievement is linked to sport and our social rituals are often structured around sporting events, from the humble game of beach cricket through to the Melbourne Cup. Our contemporary economy is inseparable from sport, and some of our lingering barriers – race, gender, sexuality, disability – show up sharply in sporting culture. From 2 March – 29 April Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery is presenting Play On: The art of sport, 10 years of the Basil Sellers Art Prize, A NETS Victoria and Ian Potter Museum of Art, the University of Melbourne touring exhibition. As one of Australia’s richest and freshest prizes, the Basil Sellers Art Prize (2006-2016) broke with tradition by bringing together these apparent foes - luring art and sports supporters from their strongly held positions on opposite sides of the ring.

The prize and current exhibition offers a fresh take on the theme of sport, with artists asking bold questions to rattle our preconceptions and explore the murkier backwaters of sporting culture. The prize was initiated and generously underwritten by Basil Sellers AM. Basil offered a $100,000 prize booty every two years. A recognised art collector, Basil divides his time between Europe and Australia (or wherever the Sydney Swans are playing that weekend). “My hope was that this prize and exhibition would take lovers of sport and art into what may be unchartered, but ultimately rewarding territory, leading to an engagement that will enhance their enjoyment of each other’s loves,” said Basil. Visit the MPRG website to find out more about the exhibitions and special events and to listen to podcasts and artist videos mprg.mornpen.vic.gov.au

Guest speakers include: Andrew Rule Father Bob Maguire Garry Disher MARCH Nicky Johnson Peninsula Community Theatre Paul Kennedy and more... Tickets $10 (under 16s free) Purchase at www.mpwritersfest.org or at the door

EUGENE BRIDGES HITS THE GRAND Don’t miss Eugene ‘Hideaway’ Bridges USA on his Australian blues “Hold On A little Bit Longer’ Tour. This masterful Memphis Blues performer pays homage to his blues roots and the likes of Sam Cooke & BB King in his one off Mornington show! Eugene ‘Hideaway Bridges’ returns to Australia this year to perform Bluesfest for the eighth time. With a brand new album, Hold On A Little Bit Longer and already nominated for two W.C. Handy awards, Eugene’s tour also marks his fiftieth anniversary as a performer – he started playing at the age of three with his father, bluesman Hideaway Slim.

Born in New Orleans, Eugene is a nomadic musician living his life on the road travelling from America through Europe, to Australia with many other stops in between, he has a huge voice and great guitar skills to match, delivering Blues music laced with Soul, Funk, Gospel and Rock. Eugene’s 2015 release Hold On A Little Bit Longer features a full horn section on several songs led by John Mills with Kevin Flatt on Trumpet and Jon Blondell Trombone. Bobby Baranowski is back on Drums, and Otto Williams, Bassist who first played with Eugene 15 years ago. Australian Clayton Doley plays Hammond B3 & Piano. Guesting on the title

song, playing slide guitar, is Micky Moody, better known for his time with Whitesnake. The album has been nominated for best Contemporary Blues Album at the 37th Blues Music Awards (to be held in May 2016) where Eugene is also nominated for best Contemporary Blues Male Artist. Those who have seen Eugene ‘Hideaway Bridges’ perform before will agree he delivers his own brand of Blues, full of warmth and character and he knows how to get the crowd dancing. Grand Hotel Mornington. Friday 16 March. 8pm. Tickets: $25 +BF | $30 at the door (if not sold out)

scoreboard Reigning premier looks gone MORNINGTON NEWS

PROVINCIAL

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully AS predicted a number of rounds ago, Baxter looks set to miss the finals after being touched up by top of the table Langwarrin on Saturday in MPCA Provincial cricket. Defending just 135 Langwarrin started the second day on top as Baxter resumed at 4/31, with Chris Brittain, Justin Bridgeman and Dale Irving still to bat. Between the three of them they scored 16 runs. This was as a result of the onslaught from Langwarrin skipper Travis Campbell with the ball snaring 6/38 off 18.4 overs. Playing against his old side Leigh Paterson took out the top order and finished with 4/30. With plenty of overs left in the match, Langwarrin went back out to bat and at one stage were 2/0. They recovered to be 3/58 and the match was declared. Despite being set an awkward total of 175 by Mornington, Peninsula Old Boys comfortably tracked down the total, bowled out for 232, handing them a 58 run victory.

Dylan O’Malley top scored for the Old Boys with 50, Tom La Brooy helped himself to 47, while little brother James La Brooy hit a quick-fire 37. Mornington quick Michael Heib took 3/79, Matthew Bates snared 3/65 off 18. Crib Point was always up against it to track down Sorrento’s 9/236. While spending 68.1 overs at the crease the Pies were bowled out for just 149. CJ King was at his finest bowling 14.1 overs for a return of 6/38. Spencer Wilton top scored for the Pies with 41 and Neil Clark hit 32. Mt Eliza won a thriller against Pearcedale on Saturday, thanks largely to the batting performance of Justin Grant who scored 53. Pearcedale set Mt Eliza 167 for victory; a tricky chase. Mt Eliza got there scoring 171. While Grant scored 53, Tim Clarke contributed 32 and Scott Tansley contributed a very important 21 at the bottom of the innings. Grant ensured he was at the crease to see out the victory, dismissed by Kane Smith who took three wickets.

Outright Eagles swoop into four PENINSULA

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully SOMERVILLE has swooped into the top four in MPCA Peninsula cricket after beating reigning premier Red Hill outright on Saturday. At the beginning of day two Somerville was just 34 runs short of a first innings victory. The Eagles, clearly looking for an outright win, declared their innings at 9/109 giving them a first innings lead of 11 runs. Eagles skipper Jayde Herrick then went to town on the Hills snaring 6/38 of 17 overs to roll the Hills for just 83. Brent Martin top scored for the Hills with 41. Needing just 70 runs to win with plenty of overs to spare the Eagles cruised to 3/77, claiming the outright victory. Flinders successfully defended its first innings total of 224 to beat Main Ridge. The Ridge lost 6/21 with only three batsmen scoring double figures. William Noall was the top scorer for the Ridge for 49, while Michael Hol-

mes opened with 43 and Luke Collins, batting at number ten, hit 16. The Ridge were bowled out for 157. Both Matt Burns and Will Tuck took 3/41 while Max Royal and Neil Barfuss claimed two wickets each. We said last week that Moorooduc would need to be at their best with the bat to chase down Long Island’s 216. They did so with 16 overs to spare, scoring 5/245. Duck’s skipper Shamith Kannangara top scored with 71 which included 14 boundaries and one over the rope, while Rashimal Mendez scored 50. Other batsmen to perform were Pathum De Mel who scored an unbeaten 44, including five balls over the rope, Madushanka Pereraand hit 36 Kasun Perera hit 35. In the final game Pines was back on the winners list against Delacombe Park. Set 168 for victory the Parkers failed to get there, bowled out for 129. Harley Parker was superb for Pines with the ball taking 5/54 while Adrian Mack led from the front taking 3/32.

No trouble for old boys: Peninsula Old Boys had no trouble reaching the total set by Mornington. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Top four looks set in District DISTRICT

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully THE top four looks set heading into the final round of MPCA District cricket. Fourth-placed Mt Martha is currently 16 points clear of Seaford Tigers and Rosebud are a further four points clear of Hastings. Bottom of the table Rye is four points behind the Buds and the Blues. The Demons take on top of the table Baden Powell in the final game. Mt Martha host Rosebud and a simple win here for them will ensure a place in the finals. Seaford despite losing in the first innings were able to pull off an outright victory against Hastings. The Blues were bowled out for 107

in their second innings leaving Seaford 120 runs to claim victory. Robbie Hearn top scored for the Blues with 51 while skipper Luke Hewitt was next best with 19. Seaford’s Chris Cleef was the pick of the Seaford bowlers with 5/32. Needing 119 runs to win Seaford made the runs with one wicket to spare, Cleef top scoring with 35. Rosebud found themselves back in the finals hunt after beating Rye outright. The Buds entered day two of the match having already won. Rye scored 130 in their second innings giving them a lead of 30 runs. Rosebud took just nine overs to pick up the runs required losing just one wicket along the way. Heatherhill’s Steven O’Donnell blasted 222 to help his side to a massive win over Mt Martha. The Hills scored

3/305 with Sam Mullavey helping himself to a half century. The Red’s scored 4/111 in their second innings, Simon Street top scoring with an unbeaten 42. Baden Powell won an absolute thriller against Seaford Tigers winning by just three runs. Set 159 for victory Baden Powell got there with just balls to spare and one wicket in hand. Daniel Di Paolo top scored for the Braves with 47 while skipper Craig Entwistle was next best with 31. Cohen Chernishoff played a very important innings hitting 27 off just 33 balls, including four boundaries. Matty Roach did everything he could with the ball for the Tigers bowling 30 overs for a return of 5/63.

The Stonecats tackle Balnarring at Balnarring this Saturday, a one-dayer. The Saints will be looking to make a statement this weekend. Boneo and Carrum Downs have destiny in their own hands, playing

each other at Thompson Oval. There will be no excuses for either side. Fourth-placed Boneo could have sealed their fate on Saturday against Balnarring, however, fell agonisingly short, losing by two runs. Saints’ skipper Mal Coutts was at his best, bowling 15.3 overs and finished with 5/22, including eight maidens. Ryan Jellie and Stewart Mathieson were the ‘almost’ heroes for the Pandas, hitting 31 and 24 respectively. Frankston YCW kept its season

alive beating Dromana by two runs with two wickets in hand. The Stonecats resumed on day two at 1/33 and it was Levi McLoughlinDore with 43 runs and Nathan Swift with 22 that saw their team over the line. YCW skipper Brett Hudgson hit a timely twelve runs to get his team over the line. Zac Klan was the pick of the Dromana bowlers with 3/36. As predicted last week Tootgarook defeated Ballam Park outright.

The Knights were bowled out for just 53 in their first innings before the Frogs belted 7/127 in their first innings before declaring. The Knights then faced the final 16 overs of the day and resumed on Saturday at 1/24. Ballam Park was then bowled out for 106 leaving Tootgarook 30 odd runs short of outright. Travis French made light work of getting the total, hitting 32 in just 6 overs giving the Frogs the outright win. Last week we predicted that Tyabb

needed to be at its best with the bat to chase down Carrum Downs. Our prediction was spot on. Tyabb openers Nick Taranto blasted 100 while Aidan Pateman hit 56 which set the scene for the Yabbies to win with three balls to spare, scoring 3/225, an 18 run victory. Carrum made light work of Skye. Defending 180 Skye was bowled out for just 92. Brett Moulten was the pick of the bowlers for the Lions with 5/30 off 13.5 overs.

Strikers’ boss: Centenary Park ‘disgrace’ SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie PENINSULA Strikers and Frankston City Council are at loggerheads over the dire state of the club’s home ground at Centenary Park. Strikers claim that their plea to council in January to water the ground fell on deaf ears. The main pitch is now unplayable and council has ordered the club not to use it. Strikers president Trevor Johnston fears that it won’t be repaired in time for the start of the league season on 24 March. “I’m having an onsite meeting with council on Monday (today) to see what can be done but I can’t see how it will be ready for round one,” said Johnston. “I alerted the council about six weeks ago to the fact that the ground needed watering and they said they could arrange that remotely but obviously that hasn’t been done. “It’s extremely poor and I’m bitterly disappointed at the way we have been treated. “We played our last home game on that pitch on 2 September last year so council has had plenty of time to get it right. “We pay winter tenancy fees and summer tenancy fees and this is what we get. “Come winter it’ll be a mud heap and games will have to be called off. It’s a disgrace.” The club was forced to find an alternative venue for last weekend’s FFA Cup clash with Waverley Wanderers. The tie was played at the Lemnos Club in Braeside and Strikers won 1-0. Wanderers had a player red carded in the first half and a second yellow for Strikers’ Tom Hawkins sent him to the sidelines in the second period. Danny Brooks notched the winner from the penalty spot in the 74th minute. Strikers were without eight visa players due to a hold-up in gaining international clearances. One of those absentees was Scottish central defender Liam Weir who scored the second-half winner in last week’s friendly against Mornington which Strikers won 1-0. Weir, 21, has come through the Queen of the South youth system and has been signed from Ayrshire-based Auchinleck Talbot after four years with Kello Rovers. Frankston Pines, Skye United, Seaford United and Somerville Eagles all bowed out of the FFA Cup last weekend. Pines went down 2-1 at home to Ashburton. Naseer Mohammad gave Pines the lead in the 52nd minute but Kurt Crnic equalised for Ashburton and Campbell Woolacott scored the winner in injury

time. CJ Hodgson was in goals for Pines as regular custodian Alfonso Cardinale was unavailable. Former Seaford United captain Daniel Wash was one of four debutants for Skye United in Saturday’s 3-2 FFA Cup loss to Brunswick Zebras at Sumner Park. Former Langwarrin players Mitch Blake, Jordan Redburn and Chris Driver also made their debuts but boom recruit Caleb Nicholes was unavailable. Skye’s first choice keeper Jonathan Crook was rested after injuring a finger at training and Lee Heron was his replacement. A quick-fire brace in the 32nd and 34th minutes for Blake had Skye seemingly in control. However the home team hit back with the last play of the first half as a corner opened up Skye’s defence and allowed Connaire Mallett to head home. Brunswick levelled almost immediately in the second half when a Chris Kouas corner sailed straight into the back of the net. Skye’s Jason Nowakowski rattled the bar in the 70th minute but Brun-

swick dominated most of the second period and with the last kick of the game Kouas again converted direct from a corner to send Brunswick into the next round. Seaford United lost 7-1 at home to State 2 South-East club Old Scotch with Conor McFall scoring for Seaford. Somerville lost 4-0 at home to State 3 North-West outfit Point Cook. “They were a quality opponent who wouldn’t look out of place in State 2,” said Somerville player-coach David Greening. “It’s been a good little cup run that has put us on the map and provided three competitive games and a great preparation for the season ahead.” Langwarrin suffered its first NPL loss on Saturday when it went down 4-1 to Springvale White Eagles at White Eagles Stadium. The home side had a gale at its back and scored four goals in a 12-minute blitz in the first half to seal Langy’s fate. Most of the goals were fashioned from lightning quick moves down the home team’s right side where Delarno Pharoe ran riot. Pharoe played the ball into the

Langy area in the 23rd minute and Andrija Kecojevic was given time to strike a low shot past Langy keeper Robbie Acs for the opener. Langy should have equalised two minutes later but a Luke Burgess header forced a stunning point-blank reflex save from Springvale keeper Lajos Hun. Pharoe and Marcus Holmes combined in the 30th minute with Holmes skipping past a defender inside the area then smashing an unstoppable shot past Acs and into the roof of the net from close range to make it 2-0. A minute later it was 3-0 when a deflected shot by attacking midfielder Slaven Vranesevic wrong-footed Acs. Vranesevic made it 4-0 with a low shot in the 35th minute as the home team continued to boss the midfield exchanges and put Langy’s defence under enormous pressure. In the second half Langy gaffer Gus Macleod took off Viktor Medini, Boris Ovcin and Lewis Foster and threw Sam Klepac, Esmael Zaheri and Cody Estes into the fray but to no avail. Paul Speed scored for Langy in the final minute of normal time but it was too little too late and the visitors were left hoping that they had just faced one

of the better sides in NPL2 East. There’s no respite for Macleod’s men as they host cashed-up title aspirant Dandenong City this weekend in a clash that promises to draw a bumper crowd. Langy’s under-20s lost 1-0 in the earlier game on Saturday at White Eagles Stadium. A defensive blunder 10 minutes from time allowed Matthew Harrington to strike the decisive blow. Meanwhile Mornington’s pre-season preparations continued with a 1-0 win over Banyule at Dallas Brooks Park on Saturday thanks to a Sammy Orritt goal. “We’ve been very good defensively during pre-season which I’m really happy about because it’s something we’ve been working on,” said Mornington head coach Adam Jamieson. “The only team that really gave us any problems was Bentleigh Greens.” English import Andre Bennett, 24, arrived on Sunday. In NPLW news Hong Kong international midfielder Avery Lau arrives in Melbourne tomorrow (Tuesday) and is expected to make her debut for Southern United in Sunday’s clash with Alamein FC at Monterey Reserve. Lau has been with the Hong Kong squad at a training camp in Japan and will rejoin the squad in August to play in the Asian Games. Southern has also been tracking strikers from Germany and the US and could end up with three visa players. The club can only use two visa players per game so the third visa player would line-up in the under-19s. Southern recently made a play for US central defender Lauren Prott but she has joined Boroondara Eagles. Prott, 25, has played with Primero de Mayo in the US second tier and with Swedish clubs Vasteras BK30 and FC Djursholm. Southern travelled to Keilor Park Recreation Reserve on Sunday to take on Calder United, one of the NPLW’s top outfits. The under-12s won 2-0 with goals from Rhiannon Kelleher, the under14s lost 2-0, the under-16s won 3-1 with goals from Haylea Porter (2) and Monique Lapenta, the under-19s lost 3-0 and the seniors lost 5-0. A fortnight ago we published Southern United’s under-16 squad and incorrectly named Belinda Stojcevski as being signed from Dandenong Thunder. She is a former Dandenong City and Noble Park player. The incorrect information was supplied by Southern United. This weekend’s league games: SATURDAY 3pm: Langwarrin v Dandenong City (Lawton Park, U20s 1pm). SUNDAY 3.15pm: Southern Utd v Alamein FC (Monterey Reserve, U12s 9am, U14s 10.15am, U16s 11.40am, U19s 1.15pm).

Women’s baseball in full swing MORNINGTON Pirates women’s baseball team is hoping to add some wind to their sails this season under the guidance of new head coach Jo Schutt (pictured right). Schutt, who returned last year after taking several years off to take care of her children, is urging other mothers to come and join the newly-formed side which enters its second season. Schutt said that a lot of women, like herself, tend to stop playing the sport to focus solely on their children but after returning last year, is hoping to attract some of those players back.

“Women will put themselves last and put their kid’s needs ahead of their own, and because I was the same and have recently come back, I’m really passionate to try and get them to do the same and get fit and active,” Schutt said. “Skills can be learnt quite quickly so that’s why it’s a good sport to get back into or even to start fresh.” Schutt is coming up from coaching the under-12s last year and said she is looking forward to the challenge of coaching the women’s side. “It will be an interesting transition from coaching children to adults but it should Taking the lead: Jockey Jordan Childs returns to the mounting yard on Grahame Begg’s star colt Written By after the running of the Blue Diamond Stakes.

be a great experience and hopefully a great year,” she said. The Women’s Pirates side trains at Wilson’s Reserve, Mornington and Schutt said the team has a broad range of ages with juniors as young as 13-years-old to women in their 50s. The women’s baseball team’s season commences on Sunday 15 April but the team will have a couple of ‘come and try’ nights over the next couple of weeks kicking off on Monday 5 April.

Begg’s fairytale run continues MT Eliza-based racehorse trainer Grahame Begg returned to Group One glory on Saturday 24 February when his homebred colt Written By raced away with the $1.5 million Blue Diamond Stakes. The two-year-old colt Written By provided Begg with his first Group One win since returning to racing just over 18 months ago and provided 21-year-old jockey Jordan Childs with his first Group One victory. Written By left his unbeaten record intact as he bought up his third career win, comfortably accounting for some of the best youngsters in the country by 2.5 lengths. Trainer Grahame Begg said it was a great feeling to be back winning a Group One and even better to provide Jordan Childs with his first

Attention Schools, sporting clubs

Group One victory. “Jordan Childs definitely deserves it and I made the statement earlier in the week that he is one of the best-kept secrets in Victoria,” Begg said. “It takes a special horse to win three in a row and to do it with a Group One is spectacular. I think the last to do something like it was Redoute’s Choice who won it (the Blue Diamond Stakes) at his second start.” Begg, who trains out of Pinecliff, Mt Eliza said training a smaller group of horses has helped Written By in preparation for his races but wasn’t taking anything away from the colt’s natural talent. “As a trainer, you need to support your horses and harness their given ability,” Begg said.

“He’s a very good horse and I was supremely confident when they were turning the bend. He was travelling very well around the corner and was just cruising. “He hasn’t been left out the front for that long before which is why he was moving about a lot - he is only a two-year-old so he will continue to learn.” With the $3.5 million Golden Slipper in Sydney the next major juvenile race, Begg said he would make a decision in the coming days as to whether he would send Written By up to try and complete the double – a feat which was last accomplished in 2011 by the Snowden-trained Sepoy.

Blind golfers tee off for titles BLIND golfers will contest the Victorian Blind Golf Championships and the Australian Blind Golf Open at Rosebud Country Club this week. The Victorian event will be played over two days: Monday 5 and Tuesday 6 March, and the Australian Open will be on Thursday 8 and Friday 9 March. The championships are free to the public. Players will tee off at 8.30am. Rosebud Country Club has supported the blind golf championships since 1990 and 20 golfers from across Australia will take part in the event. Blind Golf Victoria president Doug Sloan said the event “wouldn’t be what it is today without the help of Rosebud Country Club”. “They’re just phenomenal,” he said. “They assist us with finding caddies and help us throughout the day. “The course is very user friendly and they really make us feel welcome. It’s not just the golf; it’s the socialising and sitting down, talking about your game. “We’ve achieved a lot since we have

been down at Rosebud Country Club.” Three categories: B1, B2 and B3, designate a player’s vision capabilities. B1 players are totally blind. Players are assisted by coaches and caddies who line up the ball and guide them on where they should be hitting. General manager Danny McGrath said Rosebud Country Club was “honoured to host the championships each year and be a part of such an inspiring event”. “With the assistance of their coaches, totally blind and visually impaired golfers are able to enjoy the key benefits of golf – friendship, exercise and the thrill of hitting a great shot,” he said. “Most people will think it is essential to have good eyesight to play golf but this event shows this is not true. Golf is a sport which can be played by anyone regardless of age, gender, ability or disability. Many of us would be in awe of how well the golfers can hit the ball with limited to no vision.”

Hosking twins head to Hastings By Ben Triandafillou CARLTON AFLW twins, Jess and Sarah Hosking, will bring their talent to the netball court in April as they’re set to join the Hastings Netball Club for the start of the Nepean netball league. The Mornington-based sisters will join the Hastings Netball Club after the completion of their season with Carlton and will play under first-year coach but long-term friend, Trish McLachlan. Having coached the twins since they were representing the Mornington Netball Club at representative level, McLachlan believes that the women will be a massive boost for the club and is hoping that they might inspire some younger talent to also become a part of the club. “I know what their core values are, they’re team players and I think they’ll bring the right attitude and the right culture to the club and they’ll certainly be leading by example,” McLachlan said. “This is my first year at Hastings as I’ve had two years out of netball and before that I was with Rye for seven years. We enjoyed a lot of success at Rye and the girls were a part of that with me. “I think there’s definitely going to be an inflated interest in the football side that the girls do, so I think that’ll have an effect locally and people will want to come and see what they can do on a netball court given what they have seen they can do on a football field. “I would like to think that the young grassroots netballers will want to come along and have a look and be inspired to join netball and hopefully join Hast-

ings.” The sisters won’t be lacking much skill on the netball court having represented Victoria in the sport as well as playing for a number of years with Rye and last season with Seaford. “They are both very good on the netball court but had to forgo their commitments to take up their footballing positions,” McLachlan said. While being signed last year to Carlton, only Sarah was on the field as Jess recovered from an ACL injury and underwent shoulder reconstruction surgery. Jess played a major role for the Carlton Football Club off the field last year, greeting fans and signing autographs but this season has played a key role alongside her sister in the midfield. Carlton sits at fifth on the ladder after the fourth round and McLachlan said the “feel” around the Hastings Netball Club is one of excitement as the sister’s arrival nears. “I know that Hastings has had a

number of years where they have struggled to get quality players into the netball program and to have two players that are of the calibre of Jess and Sarah I think is very exciting,” she said. “We haven’t had much tangible time with them yet but I think we are anticipating the excitement when it happens.” McLachlan is expecting a tough few weeks to start the season with last year’s Peninsula league grand finalists, Karingal, posing as a significant challenge in the opening round. “We have a tough draw as we will be up against Karingal who are joining the league this year and they’ll certainly be trying to challenge the other clubs for the top spot,” McLachlan said. “But we are putting in a nice preseason and becoming a nice tight little unit so I’m looking forward to getting the season started.”

Kitted up: MPJFL boys are set for their Tasmanian Tour on the weekend. Picture: Supplied

Juniors tackle Tassie teams “It was fantastic last year and it will be even better this year. It’s great for the Mornington Peninsula and for the community in Tasmania to showcase the junior talent,” Day said. Along with competing against Tasmania’s representative sides in preparation for their season’s opener in April, the MPJFL juniors will also be attending the Carlton verse Hawthorn clash at UTAS stadium on the Saturday night. “We didn’t have the match last year so it’s definitely an added bonus to the tour. The teams have only just become aware that they will be attending the game and they’re all very excited,” Day said.

THE Mornington Peninsula Junior Football League will send two representative teams to Tasmania on Friday 9 March for the running of their second annual Tasmania Tour. Following last year’s successful trip, the league is sending an under-15/16 boys side and a Youth girls’ team to compete against the North-West Tasmanian League in Devonport. The MPJFL juniors have had six weeks of training in preparation for their interstate trip and MPJFL administrator Gabrielle Day said the juniors were looking forward to the tour and competing against a new group of players.
