Benefits of time alone are not for all I need a crowd of people But I can't face 'em day-to-day Though my problems are meaningless That don't make them go away AS singer Neil Young explains in his song On the Beach, being in a crowd isn’t always pleasant.

There’s nothing wrong with being alone. Taking time, aloneness, out can be beneficial, gathering thoughts and putting context into life. Enjoying one’s own company.

Being lonely, loneliness, is the other end of the spectrum.

With its high proportion of elderly, many of who live a singular existence, the Mornington Peninsula has been diagnosed as having a loneliness epidemic.

Rather than choosing to be solitary, many peninsula people find themselves isolated, a feeling that can lead to despair and depression.

Experts in the field of loneliness are coming to Mornington on Friday to outline the problems and provide advice on how to avoid it.

Better deal call for ‘small business’ Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is being urged to be a “small business friendly council” by joining 18 municipalities that have signed a charter with the Victorian Small Business Commission (VSBC).

Agreeing to sign the charter and would see the shire partner with the VSBC to “provide small businesses

with the support they need to run their businesses”.

The suggestion for the shire to sign up comes from the business-backed Committee for Mornington Peninsula (C4MP), which is also lobbying for the shire to be recognised by governments as “regional” rather than “metropolitan” (“Call to reclassify peninsula” The News 5/8/19).

"Small businesses are the heartbeat of the peninsula economy and deserve

the support of the local council in their work providing jobs, services and a crucial economic contribution to our community," C4MP president Bruce Billson said. The former MP for Dunkley and federal small business minister, said signing the charter would commit the shire to “create a more positive and encouraging enterprise environment for local businesses”.

"Committing to becoming a small business friendly council and carry-

ing through on the expectations this creates will be an important statement that the shire understands, values and respects the positive and vital contribution of the business community to the wellbeing of the region and local residents", Mr Billson said.

Municipalities to have already signed the charter include Frankston, Casey and Kingston. Signing the charter, will see the shire pledge to: n Pay small businesses within 30 days;

n Support local businesses in managing the impacts of infrastructure projects; n Streamline the approval process when starting a business; and n Help set up and support local business networks.

Mr Billson said there would “no direct cost” for the shire, although there was “an expectation” the council would show “genuine respect and support for small businesses”.

Mayor, MP clash over mosquito controls Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au

Fitness a goal for seniors THERE was no age (or height) restrictions between competing teams during the netball game at Camp Manyung, Mt Eliza on Friday (4 October).

The game was part of a free day Get Active Expo being run as part of this year’s Victorian Seniors Festival.

Activities during the day at Camp Manyung

included archery, a giant swing and a high ropes course. Community groups were also on hand with information stands and more down to earth activities including bocce and Zumba.

The expo was designed to encourage seniors to not let their age restrict them and to learn about all the ways their local community can help them get active in the great outdoors.

AN angry buzz of uncertainty has arisen over how the state government intends to manage efforts to control potentially disease-carrying mosquitoes on the Mornington Peninsula.

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr David Gill says a “public consultation” on the Engage Victoria website is evidence that the government wants “the power to spray insecticide without community consent”.

Cr Gill’s assertion follows widespread community concern about spraying, or “fogging”, mosquito-prone areas in a bid to lessen the chances of people contracting the flesh-eating Buruli ulcer (“No fogging in ‘mossie’ fight” The News 26/8/19).

Nepean MP Chris Brayne says there is no bill before parliament and has challenged Cr Gill to put a name to the proposed legislation.

Mr Brayne – who says he has received “rather forceful emails” from Cr Gill - says he is “glad the shire has put the Buruli spraying project on hold”.

In one of the emails seen by The News, Cr Gill states that he is “sure” Mr Brayne “can, if you wish, provide far more information than I can”.

Cr Gill says the public consultation through the Engage Victoria website “is normal before legislation is enacted”.

He said proposed legislative changes to the Public Health and Wellbeing Act included proposed changes to the control of “vector-borne diseases, mosquitoes in particular”.

Cr Gill said the public consultation was launched on 20 August with a 30 September deadline for submissions, “which left little time

for the public to comment, especially when local MPs didn’t bother to let their electors or council know”.

“Also [the shire] is opposed to broad scale insecticidal mosquito fogging and spraying and believes that there are serious alternatives available that should be investigated,” Cr Gill’s email to Mr Brayne stated.

“The Buruli virus is a real danger to people, but the answer should not involve increasing health risks because of spraying or environmental risks to bees, other insects, birds and fish.

“The proposed legislation potentially takes away the right to object to spraying on private property and by those badly affected by insecticide spraying for health reasons.”

In an email to one of his constituents, Mr Brayne said the Engage Victoria public consultation process was “a common place review of the public health and wellbeing regulations [that] includes some aspects of mosquito control programs in Victoria”.

However, this was was separate from research into the role of mosquitoes in the Buruli ulcer project “which has been put on hold”.

“The proposed changes that have been submitted by some members of the community do not relate to routine activities of local government in managing mosquitoes and other disease vectors,” Mr Brayne stated.

“Like all emergency powers of the Chief Health Officer, all actions must be evidence-based, reasonable and proportionate as required under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act. “This is nowhere near any sort of vote. I will try and see if I can get a department representative to provide the mayor with more information so he can be better informed moving forward.”

Hospital expands to cater for rise in addictions BELEURA Private Hospital, Mornington is expanding to meet increasing demand to provide treatment for alcoholics and mental health patients.

Once completed, the expansion will mean patients do not have to leave to the hospital to attend a day centre.

Work to increase the number of beds from 32 to 48 at the centre is expected to start before Christmas and finish about 18 months later.

The announcement of the expansion at the Ramsay Health Care-owned hospital was made in the lead-up to Mental Health Awareness Week (5-11 October).

Nurse unit manager, Monique Nicolaou, said there was increasing demand for alcohol addiction services with people coming to Mornington for treatment from South Australia and Queensland.

“We are the only private alcohol addiction service in the Mornington region and we also have medical practitioners from other states referring their patients to our relapse prevention clinics,” Ms Nicolaou said.

“At the moment, patients have to travel about 15 minutes from the hospital to our off-site day centre.

“The expansion means those admitted to the inpatient alcohol addiction program will no longer have to leave the hospital every day and can be treated on site.”

Ms Nicolaou said patients aged from 18 were

being treated at the hospital for alcohol addiction and many of those with alcohol dependency also had complex mental health issues.

More than seven million Australians aged 16 to 85 will experience a mental health disorder during their lifetime.

Ramsay Health Care mental health chair Kevin Cass-Ryall said there had been a gradual increase in the number of older people and younger people seeking help for a mental health condition.

“Patients want more specialised treatment and a more holistic approach to their recovery, along with a care regime that draws on a multidisciplinary team,” he said.

“They are also increasingly looking for ways to receive treatment outside hospital to remove the need for them to stay overnight in a clinic.”

Figures supplied by Ramsay Health Care show that of the 5500 mental health patients it treats each year, 45 per cent have mood disorders (including depression, bipolar disorder, and dysthymia); 25 per cent had a physical and emotional dependence on substances or behaviours, such as drugs, alcohol, gambling and/or gaming); 15 per cent had anxiety disorders; 10 per cent post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD); and 5 per cent psychotic disorders (an impaired interpretation of reality commonly associated with hallucinations and delusions).

Shedders big day out SAFETY Beach-Dromana Men’s Shed hosted the launch of Men’s Shed Week at its Pier Street headquarters, Tuesday 24 September.

The event, on behalf of the Australian Men’s Shed Association, included a breakfast at 8am and lunch at 12pm.

Safety Beach-Dromana Men’s Shed secretary John Whalley said about 250 attended the day, including Flinders MP Greg Hunt and Nepean MP Chris Brayne and the mayor Cr David Gill.

A diverse range of exhibits and trade stalls included demonstrations such as wood turning, pottery, beekeeping, vintage car and boat

displays, and blacksmithing, as well as a megameat raffle and lucky door prize.

Twenty-five members of the Australian Welsh Male Choir, based at Baxter, sang seven songs to entertain guests in the workshop.

“People came from near and far,” Mr Whalley said. “The choir were fabulous. It was a really great day.”

A highlight for members of Point Nepean Men’s shed was receiving a $5000 cheque from the RACV for a new van to transport volunteers and material to onsite projects.

Councils warned about corruption Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire, neighbouring Frankston and municipalities across the state have been warned to watch out for corruption when buying goods and services.

The Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) says corruption and kickbacks uncovered at Darebin and Ballarat councils “are likely to be faced by most, if not all, councils in Victoria”.

“Allegations of corruption associated with council procurement practices and processes are a recurring theme in the complaints received and investigated by IBAC,” IBAC commissioner Robert Redlich QC said.

In a special report to parliament IBAC warns that councils need to consider the way they manage procurement to reduce risks of corruption.

“This report highlights a range of procurementrelated corruption risks and vulnerabilities which, while they were found in two councils, are likely to be faced by most if not all councils in Victoria,” Mr Redlich said.

IBAC investigated allegations that council employees at Darebin and Ballarat subverted procurement processes for their own benefit and the benefit of associates.

The report to parliament states that a former project manager at the Darebin City Council received cash, gifts and other benefits for helping an associate’s company win more than $16 mil-

lion in contracts.

A former manager at the City of Ballarat Council had enabled associates and family to win contracts, in exchange for financial “kickbacks”. In 2017, the manager was convicted of a range of offences and sentenced to three years’ jail and ordered to repay $31,200.

Three other people, including his wife, pleaded guilty to other charges.

IBAC says Victorian councils collectively manage about $84 billion in public assets and annually spend around $7 billion on services.

“Considerable power is vested in council employees to source suppliers, manage contracts and authorise payment for goods, services and works – spending millions of dollars of public money,” Mr Redlich said.

“Public sector corruption it is not a victimless crime. It wastes taxes and rates that should be used to operate and maintain Victoria's schools, hospitals, roads and other vital public services and projects. And it damages the reputation of organisations and undermines community's confidence in the public sector.”

As a result of its investigations IBAC has recommended Local Government Victoria consider developing a code of conduct for local government suppliers, which would outline the standards expected of suppliers including in relation to reporting suspected misconduct or corrupt conduct on the part of council employees and other suppliers.

Aged susceptible to a loneliness ‘epidemic’

By Barry Morris IN keeping with a worrying Australiawide trend, loneliness is seeping across the Mornington Peninsula, fuelled by the growing number of elderly people living on their own.

It is probably a greater problem on the peninsula because it has a higherthan-average proportion of older people when compared with other Victorian regions.

The peninsula also has more single or lone-person households.

The Mornington-based social awareness group Peninsula Voice, says the peninsula is undergoing an epidemic of loneliness.

While recognising the work of such organisations as Beyond Blue, Black Dog Institute and the Men’s Shed Association, Peninsula Voice is organising a public forum, Connecting Communities, to look at ways of dealing with loneliness.

Speakers will include leading social justice advocate, the Rev Tim Costello, scientific chair of the Australian Coalition to End Loneliness, Dr Michelle Lim, and senior adviser at Beyond Blue, Bec Lee. “Probably the greatest risk to our personal health is disconnection, a condition most people don’t even consider,” Peninsula Voice spokesperson Gabrielle Gordon said.

“It can occur at any age or life transition and can affect both genders,

although statistics suggest men are at greater risk.”

For older people it could result in social isolation, loss of identity, lack of purpose, and flatness of mood or diminished hope.

For the middle aged it could be due to the loss of a job, a family crisis, relationship breakdown, serious illness, loss of confidence or simply a number of small setbacks. Younger people face loneliness through insecurity, feelings of hopelessness or social isolation caused by bullying.

“All these can be triggers which throw an individual into a disconnection hole, which is simply overwhelming,” Mrs Gordon said.

Picture: Diane Williamson MORNINGTON Peninsula artists have organised two major events during October and November.

The annual Peninsula Studio Trail art exhibition runs 11-23 October at Southern Buoy Studios, Mornington followed by two open studio weekends in November.

There are now 20 artists in the peninsula art group, many have won awards and are known on the peninsula and internationally.

They offer work in many mediums and across genres, including painting (traditional and contemporary), drawings, ceramics, sustainable

sculpture from recycled materials, jewellery, metal art and printmaking.

During this month’s 13-day exhibition at Mornington, several of the artists will be on hand all day to answer questions and talk about the works on display. All work is for sale.

Children’s book illustrator and author, Terry Denton, will open the exhibition.

Denton is patron of the volunteer Balcombe Estuary Rehabilitation Group (BERG) and a series of identically sized works (30cm by 30cm) on canvas will be displayed on the black feature wall at the entrance to the exhibition.

The artists will donate 10 per cent of the sales of these theme-inspired works to BERG. The annual open studio weekends – 16-17 and 23-24 November - will provide another opportunity for visitors to meet the artists who will open their studios and private gallery spaces to the public.

A map to plan a visit to the various studios is on the website peninsulastudiotrail.org.

The Peninsula Studio Trail art exhibition runs 11-23 October at Southern Buoy Studios, 1/19 Carbine Way, Mornington. Opening night is 6.30pm-8.30pm 11 October.

ALTHOUGH there are a couple of months to go, finishing touches are already being made to some of the 800 toys being readied for Christmas by Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula.

Each year the woodworkers’ hand the toys over for charities to bring joy to needy children.

As well as working towards their toy quota, the woodworkers have this year moved from makeshift tin sheds in Besgrove Street, Rosebud to a purposebuilt workshop at the Vern Wright Reserve, Elizabeth Avenue, Tootgarook.

The move made way for work to start on the Rosebud Aquatic Centre and created “an interesting and wonderful year” for the woodworkers, according to the group’s president John Bayliss.

“We found ourselves plumb in the middle of the proposed new aquatic centre and the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council decided to move us to a completely new purpose-built workshop.

“We now have a lot more space to welcome new members."

Mr Bayliss said everyone is invited to the woodworkers’ open day at 11am on Saturday 12 October to inspect the new premises, check out items and toys made by members “and enjoy a free sausage". Cr Antonella Celi will officially open the workshop during the morning.

And the Christmas toys? They will be handed over to the various charities on the first Saturday in December.

Street market still makes

By Michael Hast* MORNINGTON’S Main Street Market has turned 40.

The longest-running street market in Victoria was started on Wednesday 26 September 1979 by the late Tom Hast, an estate agent in the town for more than 50 years, a shire councillor, shire president (mayor) and member of many community groups including the chamber of commerce, which runs the market.

Mr Hast visited the United Kingdom and Europe in 1978 and was excited to come across village markets and see how they brought visitors to a town.

He thought a market would be one way of revitalising Mornington on Wednesdays, traditionally the quietest day of the working week.

The town’s shops used to close on Wednesday afternoons as a trade-off for staying open all day Saturday (so staff worked five and a half days a week) and older residents especially were in the habit of not going shopping on Wednesdays.

Mr Hast met some opposition from traders but won them over when he suggested they place a table of slow-moving goods on the footpath, a practice still followed by some traders.

His idea had the backing of Mornington Shire and key members of the chamber, but no one was interested in running it, so he did it himself.

His office was in the Main Street, well located to keep an eye on the market and collect stallholders’ fees.

The chamber took over its running about four years later.

The market received a plug in The Age’s “People in the suburbs” section on 24 October 1979, a month after it opened, with the report stating traders’ turnover had increased by 20 per cent on market days.

“Mornington Council has gone to market in an attempt to increase employment, boost the town’s economy and attract business for shopkeepers. The market is held every Wednes-

TOM Hast

day at 9am on the wide footpaths of the main street. The shopkeepers place trestles outside their shops and market stalls are set up on the kerbside of the footpaths to sell ‘arty crafty’ Peninsula products and local produce,” the report stated.

The market’s motto (and requirement) of “Home-baked, homemade, home-grown” remains to this day with shoppers flocking to

Every picture helps tell a story Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au IF there is truth in the adage “a picture is worth a thousand words”, visitors to an exhibition by Amanda Stuart will be well informed.

The nine subjects of Stuart’s photographic portraits have been reproduced on posters along with their autobiographical anecdotes along with personal photos.

Stuart says her intention was to produce posters that “explored, through words and images, the significant events that shaped the lives of nine very different men”.

“I have done a portrait of each man, which is separate from the poster. Not a photoshopped portrait, but a photo of them as I see them for the purpose of their story,” she said.

“I was able to assign a title to each man, such as The soldier, The sailor, The gardener and The Indigenous Healer.”

Stuart hopes her 9 Men 9 Lives – the Portrait Project may eventually be displayed in a public library as seven of her subjects live on the Mornington Peninsula.

Although taking snapshots “all my life”, McCrae-based Stuart bought her first “decent camera” four years ago to coincide with a trip to France and a photography course.

As well as learning how to operate a digital camera the course in France included editing.

“I was smitten [by photography] completely,” Stuart said.

On her return to Australia, she im-

mediately had four of her landscapes framed but then decided to focus on portraits.

A former counsellor, Stuart says she has “always had an interest in people” and portraits were the logical next step for her new artistic endeavour.

The camera that led Stuart deeper

into photography during her time in France, an Olympus, has now been replaced by a Fuji and an active network – “a real community” – of fellow Fuji users.

At 12.30pm this Sunday, 13 October, Stuart will publicly unveil her first exhibition, 9 Men 9 Lives – the Portrait Project, at Sorrento Activity

Centre, corner Queens and Melbourne roads, Sorrento.

This will be followed at 10.30am on the next day, Monday 14 October, with “a special morning tea to celebrate the launch” of the exhibition and a smoking ceremony by Lionel Lauch. Entry is $5.

Continued from Page 1 Ways for councils to reduce the impact of infrastructure works on businesses included ensuring access is maintained and “promotional activities to keep customers coming to disrupted areas, publicity support that businesses are still operating despite the works and street festivals and prizes to bring people back after works have concluded”.

Regarding streamlining approvals, Mr Billson said he had heard of councils having “single-entry point/onestop shop processes and application facilitation”.

“Councils presenting clear parameters that, when met, mean a permit or approval is not required and ‘tell us once’ processes where a business provides one set of documents and the council navigates its own various departments and multiple approval channels,” he said. “C4MP is the only organisation of its kind that we are aware of that receives no support whatsoever from the council.”

“Other more favoured organisations do attract council funding, but support can come in the form of being interested in our members’ views, meaningful consultation, an office space or partnering of projects of shared interest such as C4MP’s leadership in pursuing a regional not suburban designation for the peninsula.”

Mr Billson said there were often advantages when decisions to buy goods from local suppliers was not based solely on price.

Judy O’Connell, head of the VSBC, will outline help her office can provide local businesses and the advantages of the shire becoming a small business friendly council, at a lunch organised by the C4MP on 28 October at Mornington Racing Club, Details: email info@committeeformp.com.au or visit www.committeeformp.com.au

‘We’re points ahead on satisfaction’ - mayor MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire says survey results “show the community believes [the council’s] overall performance, customer service and waste management are all positive”.

The annual community satisfaction survey, independently conducted by telephone across shire households in February and March for the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, measures community perception on the performance of Victorian councils across a range of measures.

While a minimum of 400 interviews were conducted in 63 municipalities for the survey, the results for each council have not been published for the public by DELWP. The mayor Cr David Gill said results for the peninsula show a three-point increase in waste management and a one-point increase in overall performance – both higher than the state-wide average.

“The results also show a four-point increase

in satisfaction with the condition of sealed local roads,” Cr Gill said.

“We always seek to ensure fundamental council services such as roads and waste management are of the highest quality and we’re pleased the community believes we are delivering on that”.

It was “pleasing that out of all the core measures, council’s best performing area was customer service”.

“The survey results also indicate areas for improvement such as lobbying on behalf of the community; something council has put a strong emphasis on this year,” Cr Gill said.

“Council is dedicated to working closely with the community and prides itself on being accessible to residents and ratepayers. In fact, 69 per cent of those surveyed had made contact with council over the previous 12 months compared to 61 per cent of residents surveyed across Victoria.”

Remembrance Day reminder SCHOOLS on the Mornington Peninsula are being sent kits encouraging students to learn more about Remembrance Day in the lead up to the 11 November commemorations.

The kits are produced each year by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and sent out to schools to help students understand the importance of Remembrance Day and why it is a highlight of the Australian calendar.

“Remembrance Day is a reminder to all Australians to stop and reflect on the service and sacrifice of all the men and women who have served and given their lives in all wars, conflicts and peace keeping missions,” Flinders MP Greg

Hunt said. “This November will mark 101 years since hostilities ceased on the Western Front, ending one of the bloodiest conflicts in human history.”

A minute’s silence is observed out of respect for these men and women each year at 11am on 11 November.

This year’s Remembrance Day poster features the Ode of Remembrance and words taken from Laurence Binyon’s poem, For the Fallen.

WOOD carvers Garry Fevreau and Ross Johnstone with the restored honour board at Balnarring hall.

Honour board restored

AN historic WWI honour board restored over the past month was yesterday (Monday) rehung in pride of place in the foyer of the Balnarring hall.

The work was completed by wood carvers Garry Fevreau and Ross Johnstone, who also worked on a celebrated replica of the board hanging in the Sir John Monash Centre at Villers-Bretonneux, France. They were assisted

by Dean Smith, of Environmental Creators, who cast and recreated the original copper plate in silicone.

The near-centenary old board is made from Victorian blackwood fiddleback and includes the names of the men from the district who fought overseas in the Great War. Balnarring Historical Society’s Ilma Hackett said the original honour board ordered by the Balnarring Progress Association in 1920 was the work of Robert Prenzel, of South Yarra. (“Honour board brings memories of home” The News 29/7/2019).

“Most honour boards are horizontal and quite large but Balnarring, being a small community, didn’t have many men joining the AIF,” Ms Hackett said.

Mr Prenzel inscribed the names of 26 men onto a copper panel with carved gum nuts and gum leaves. The board was thought at the time to be mountain ash. At the top is the Rising Sun Anzac emblem and across the bottom the words: “They Went at Duty’s Call”.

Money to pay for the original board was raised by Welcome Home functions honouring returning soldiers, and by subscriptions. It was unveiled in the hall in November 1920 by Major Balmain, who lived at Coolart.

The $1150 restoration cost was paid by the Balnarring and District Community Bank.

DUAL FAMILY ACCOMMODATIONS ON A FANTASTIC HALF ACRE COMFORTABLY set across a fantastic, flat 2023 square metre block, this well-presented property is perfectly set up for large or extended families with two self-contained homes providing endless options. Set well back from the road for a welcome sense of privacy, the block is completely fenced and features excellent lawn areas to the front and back for children and pets. A long gravel driveway provides plenty of off-street parking and there is a double carport in between the two residences. A separate, fully-lined double garage - currently being utilised as a personal training studio - also has additional storage space. The main home has an inviting lounge room with bay window and the adjoining formal dining zone, or even a great games area, is tucked around the corner. Handsome polished timber floors extend throughout the space and a raked timber ceiling adds a nice touch of character. The dining area leads through to a bright kitchen which has plenty of storage solutions and from the family meals zone you step out to the rear timber deck.

The master bedroom at the front has a walk-in wardrobe and a large ensuite has a spa bath, whilst two more bedrooms both have built-in robes and share the main bathroom.

The equally well-presented second dwelling comprises a spacious open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, complete with air-conditioning, and two more bedrooms that share the bathroom. Opening from the laundry is another timber deck taking you out to the enormous back yard. Across the two residences there is a healthy 418 square metres of comfortable and spacious living and both homes do have their own separate electricity and gas metres. Exceptionally rare, this diverse and highly functional property offers much to any buyer seeking the necessary room to provide for in-laws or to establish their own home business.n

INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL

WINNING THE CROWD: Geoffrey and Michael Crowder work the bidders at the auction of 233 Beach Street, Frankston

CHEERS ALL ROUND AS FREEHOLD PROPERTY IN BEACH STREET HITS A NEW MARK DEMAND for commercial property from investors remains exceptionally strong if the results from a recent Frankston auction are any indication. A property at 233 Beach Street - a popular bottle shop in a busy retail strip – was successfully sold under the hammer on August 23 after receiving an astonishing 114 bids. The property was put on the market when bidding reached $530,000 with the building eventually being sold to the owner of an adjoining property for $730,000. A new 5 x 5 year lease had been exercised in advance by the long standing tenant, and the current rent of $21,818 comes up for a market review next February.

“This property is in the best retail shopping strip in Frankston where there is hardly ever a vacancy. A strong lease, business and tenant, freehold title and the price point generated nearly 50 enquires.” Geoffrey Crowder explained “Too much is made about overseas investors; they seldom look at property under $10 million and generally stick to capital cities and inner suburbs. There’s still plenty of money around for good, small investments, and with interest rates likely to stagnate at around 1.5% on term deposit, real estate is still the preferred option for most investors”.n

DON’T PUT YOUR FOOT IN IT AND MISS OUT TO be auctioned on site, Friday November 1, this prime peninsula freehold is perfect for any investor looking to get a foothold into the commercial property market. Set on a 873 square metre block along busy Point Nepean Road, the building measures about 240 square metres and comprises five consulting rooms, a reception area, and staff facilities. It has been securely leased for 21 years to a well-established podiatry clinic. A 5 x 5 x 5 year lease is in place and rental return is $84,000 per annum with annual increases. There are 10 on-site car spaces and a fantastic road frontage of more than 17 metres which really adds potential for any future re-development (STCA).n

Puzzled by MP’s list of budget beneficiaries I would appreciate, as a voter, if our elected federal MP for Flinders, Greg Hunt, could clarify some matters highlighted in his spring “Flinders Community News” brochure.

He identifies $75 million for works on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway, including safe pedestrian access, noise reduction and overpass, (“Delivering for the Mornington Peninsula”, page 3). However, could he please explain why he has not noted that the money will not be delivered until sometime in 2022 or thereafter?

As someone who values the environment, I noted the $25 million for a National Centre for Coasts, Environment and Climate at Point Nepean National Park. I am truly puzzled. To my knowledge, such a centre does not exist in the master plan for our national park.

Regarding the “...missing link bike path between Baxter and Somerville...” I am not only surprised that he appears to have not been aware of this for many years but also, given that the project is estimated to cost $6 million, he implies that Mornington Peninsula Shire (page 6) has a spare $4 million to assist him in delivering this long overdue project.

While it is pleasing to note that the federal government is supporting education with Local Schools Community Funding Grants, given that the Flinders electorate would have close to 50 primary and secondary schools, $200,000 equates to $4000 a school. Surely a needs-based funding grant would be more appropriate and more transparent and accountable for public monies?

I look forward to Mr Hunt’s summer edition for a full update on the above matters.

Jane Clarke, Rosebud

Writing history I was reading another part of Greg Hunt’s glossy spring propaganda sheet [“Flinders Community News”] when I came to a piece headed, “Ground breaking begins for Rosebud Aquatic Centre”. I nearly spilt my cornflakes.

His spin on the history of the pool differs from my recollection. He mentions the years of work by respective governments and locals on the Mornington Peninsula to finally get the aquatic centre. The reason people “worked so hard, for so long to make this project a reality” is that the people he’s handing out the accolades to - [Cr] Antonella Celi, [former Nepean MP] Martin Dixon, the SPAC action group and himself, as the then federal environment minister - fought tooth and nail to place it on the foreshore. By insisting that the pool was to go on the rosebud foreshore, these people put years on the project.

They were continually told to choose an inland site from nine other sites that were available as the foreshore was inappropriate, but they wouldn’t listen. They were content in wasting their time turning up to council meetings decked out in bathing caps and towels.

The pool was first discussed in 2004, the shire now hopes to have the centre completed by 2020. It’s taken 16 years to finally get SPAC. We could have had it years ago but for the bloody mindedness of the people that Greg Hunt is congratulating.

John Cain, McCrae

Ignoring the right [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt from day one has bagged GetUp, an independent, grass-roots community advocacy organisation which aims to build a more progressive Australia by giving everyday Australians the opportunity to get involved and hold politicians accountable on important issues regardless of the political party supporting those issues (“GetUp sees ‘Labor arm’ claim as a set up” The News 4/9/19).

It is not surprising that Mr Hunt takes no exception to the industry lobby groups that have free rein of government halls to spruik policies and initiate political fundraisers and campaigns to get what they want. Just to name a couple of the multitude: business council, minerals council, forest industries council, the Australian gun lobby and the coal association.

Never a word about ultra right wing groups like Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), reclaim Australia or the Australian Defence League.

Nor a word about right wing groups hiding behind innocent sounding names like Centre for Independent Studies, the corporate-funded Institute of Public Affairs and Uranium Information Centre, or Australian Environment Foundation, founded by the Institute of Public Affairs.

And of course his government tries again and again to put a stop to the peoples’ voice on issues, with not a hint of reining in the practices of the corporate lobby industry whose only mission is to get what they want at the expense of everyone and everything else.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Bank’s withdrawal I note that the Commonwealth Bank has removed the ATM from the Bentons Square Shopping Centre, Mornington.

This was the last Commonwealth Bank ATM available in all shopping centres in Mornington, so I suppose we can say on behalf of all retired Commonwealth Bank ATM customers and users thank you for your great services (not).

This is probably designed to encourage phone banking or encourage customers to the bank in Main Street where there are still ATMs. It may however encourage retired customers to go elsewhere to banks that do have ATMS. Whatever the reason, it is a loss of a great facility particularly to those with limited mobility.

Geoff Boalth, Mt Martha

Landcare’s loss How good is a 100-year-old Cypress macrocarpa? Not so good according to the South West Mornington Peninsula Landcare Group. In fact, bad enough to require execution along with 77 Pinus radiata presently thriving along Browns Road. Their crime? They are not natives.

This distressing news was delivered to me by Mornington Peninsula Shire after it had granted the permit to Landcare without any notification to affected parties. Now it is the subject of a VCAT hearing where we will get an opportunity, I hope, to put our case.

Not only do I feel betrayed by Landcare, an organisation I have previously supported, but I am in a state of shock that Landcare come up with such a plan.

Surely, faced with the present climate crisis and daily news of the worsening situation for all species in ecosystems throughout the natural world, we should be looking to preserve every living thing, not senselessly destroying them.

By ignoring the climate emergency and the importance of maintaining ecosystems the Landcare group has overlooked its role as land carers and has embarked on a witch hunt of non-native species, becoming land castigators.

The agenda for the future must be set with respect for the diversity of our present ecosystems and for those species that have shown their strength and ability to survive climate change, where sadly many natives have not. Please, please, Landcare group, don’t be climate deniers, look to the future with a broader ecosystem outlook.

Your plan to destroy so many trees because they are not natives is outdated and ignores the basic tenets for preserving the diversity of ecosystems in our present climate emergency.

Your intention to destroy these 77 trees amounts to an act of desecration of the environment, a criminal act, when the whole natural world is in crisis suffering from such acts of desecration.

Patricia Parkinson, Main Ridge

If the shoe fits It is great being green on the Mornington Peninsula and even better when a government planning decision supports the general consensus that more thought should go into a sensible and sustainable approach to our living spaces (“Mayor thanks Wynne for Kaufland veto decision” The News 10/9/19).

We provide a tourist destination with uplifting views, fresh air and safe destinations all less than an hour from Melbourne.

Now that we have ensured some breathing space for the vacant Bata Shoe Company of Australia-owned 4000 square metres of land at the entrance to Mornington, it is crucial that we all

put forward some ideas for how it can be used for net community value and, of course, return for its owners. Federal resources could be considered for a compulsory purchase or perhaps a public-private enterprise using the land for co-operative and environmentally responsible purposes, now that a shopping centre has been firmly rejected.

A meeting will be held on Wednesday 23 October in Mt Eliza to discuss options and interested parties are welcome to contact the Mt Eliza Community Association (MECA) on 0437 460 668 for further details.

Ian Morrison, convenor MECA

Wish for Kaufland It’s a long time since I’ve heard the likes of the absolute rubbish given as arguments to kill the Kaufland megastore huge investment on the Bata industrial site in Mornington (“Kaufland megastore rejected” The News 3/9/19).

Mornington (and Mt. Eliza) residents, shoppers, even job seekers, will be the worse off.

What a shame Kaufland didn’t get in first to the former Masters site, now a Coles complex, on Tyabb Road backing onto an industrial estate.

Hopefully, Kaufland will locate its benefits and competitiveness to Frankston or somewhere not too far away.

The local deniers stated that it was mainly to do with preventing shopping losses in Main Street, Mornington. Surely they jest. We, and everybody we know in the big housing estates east of Nepean Highway, never shop in Main Street.

We shop at Hastings or Somerville, and 10 minutes down the freeway at Karingal.

Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

Giants and dwarfs After hearing (the giant) Greta Thunberg’s address to the UN on climate change inaction and later (the dwarfs) [Prime Minister] Scott Morrison’s false concerns about the mental health of our children who are concerned about their future prospects for a worthwhile life on this planet, I can only say I hope the population will turn up in even greater numbers with the school strikers at future rallies for meaningful action on climate change (“Hundreds call for action on climate” The News 25/9/19).

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Crime figures Where is the accurate data of escalating crime quoted by [Hastings MP] Neale Burgess (“Law and order” Letters 24/9/19)? Scaremongering and hysteria again?

I am sure our policemen and policewomen loved being referred to as “our local boys and girls”. What ridiculous, inappropriate language coming from a seasoned politician.

If as he claims there is an increase in crime and understaffing of police, why doesn’t Mr Burgess make a submission with substantiated facts to the police minister and then lobby for an increase in police numbers.

As Mr Burgess knows the police budget is administered by the police commissioner who has the authority to direct extra police and resources where need is.

Perhaps also lobby the state government for extra money for the police commissioner and his team.

Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Failed predictions Yes, I believe that man-made emissions are causing the planet to warm. Yes I believe we need to reduce our emissions. But as for a climate emergency on the Mornington Peninsula, I’m told to listen to the experts. So who better than Professor Tim Flannery who would go on to become chief climate commissioner under the Greens/Labor government?

In 2000, he advised local councils around Australia that “we can expect sea level risers of up to .5 of a metre in the next 20 years”, and maps appeared showing parts of Safety Beach and Dromana underwater.

In 2002, he said “Australia will not have a ski season in 10 years time”. In 2007, “even the rain that falls will not fill the dams and the eastern seaboard will run out of water by 2020”.

Then, following record floods in Queensland, NSW and Victoria in 2012, he said: “Climate change cannot be ruled out in the recent floods.”

Perhaps our councillors should take note.

Dams at 60 per cent even though population has increased by 2,500,000 since the last dam was

built and, at 150 litres a day a person, that’s one hell of a lot of water.

Melbourne’s winter rainfall 13 per cent above the long term average this year; still a metre of snow in October; no visible signs of sea level rises.

Perhaps our councillors are a bit like the expresident of Kiribati Anate Tong, who said in an interview, “I can’t see any effects yet, but I know it’s happening.”

Michael G Free, Mt Martha

Collingwood forever I think Cliff Ellen has the relative status of Collingwood technical and Northcote high schools mixed up, although his conclusion is right (“Watching society” Letters 1/10/19).

At the end of 1945, after grade 6 year at primary school, most students stayed on until grade 8 then left to go out to work aged 14.

The minority wanting to go to secondary education from my school (Fairfield) after grade 6 had the choice of Collingwood technical and Northcote high schools.

My first pick was Collingwood tech, but it had a limited academic entry alongside a very large trade and apprentice training enrolment and had also trained many servicemen during WWII. So to gain a place I had to sit an entrance exam that was much harder than the grade 6 exam, but I managed to pass.

Whether Northcote high had an entrance exam I don’t know, but I do know that a couple of my Fairfield classmates who sat the exam with me didn’t make the cut at Collingwod, but were accepted into Northcote high. So which kids were the smarter?

Collingwood technical was a very tough school then and two days after I started two big kids asked me who I barracked for, Collingwood or Fitzroy? I quickly realised there were no other options and I have been a Collingwood supporter ever since. Darryl Chambers, Mt Martha

Passing comment Passing 80 takes us into the disintegration phase.

Many would disagree, particularly ladies into their 90s.

Birth, childhood, adulthood, marriage, house (a chosen path) leading to old age, downsizing and (if you’re lucky) disintegration. Slowly, get down (weeds) difficult to get up, and so on.

A close eye on voluntary assisted dying, easier perhaps, the next decade? A school of thought “kids nowadays have it tougher than in my time” despite the swish computers, mobile phones, online shopping. Maybe?

A street full of kids, playing cricket (telegraph pole, tennis ball) football (a made paper football). Playing knick knock, stealing from fruit trees, yonny (stones) fights with Catholics, the movies (flicks) front stalls, girls.

Always, a need for creativity. We all knew each other. Apparently we (almost all of us) were poor, but nobody noticed. Better or worse? No idea.

And politicians? Easy. They never change.

Cliff Ellen, Rye

Housing a disgrace I refer to the two houses in Mornington Park (Formally Tanti Park), which have been boarded up and unoccupied for the past two years at 19 Robertson Drive and 31 Currawong Street, owned by the Public Housing Department in Frankston.

We have a 15-year waiting list for public housing, 150,000 homeless in Australia, a shortage of affordable housing, and families fighting to keep a roof over their heads paying rents in private accommodation they can ill afford.

One year after the houses became vacant I wrote to the Minister of Human Services Martin Foley asking why they were being left vacant for such a long time. The letter was then transferred to the Public Housing Department in Cheltenham and the chief housing officer told me she had never heard of Mornington Park. I received no reply from the Frankston office of housing.

It annoys me to think that these solid homes are right on the doorstep of a Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor and one would have thought he would have said something to the Frankston housing about it before now or to the shire’s Triple A Housing Committee; As a former resident of Mornington Park for 14 years now living in Hastings, and a former member of a human rights group, nothing would make me happier than to see two decent struggling families obtain a roof over their heads before the festive season.

David Hockney: Prints – A National Gallery of Australia exhibition DAVID Hockney is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century and an important contributor to the pop art movement of the 1960s.

This exhibition highlights his talents as one of the greatest printmakers of our time and is a thrilling insight into the mind of an iconic artist still searching for new ways of seeing.

The exhibition is drawn from the National Gallery of Australia’s extensive collection, presenting over 80 works from 1961 to the present day including prints developed using lithography and etching, photocopiers and fax machines, and more recently, iPhones and iPads.

A truly international artist who moved to Los Angeles in 1964 and during his lifetime exhibited widely in the USA, UK and Europe, David Hockney has always demonstrated a profound visual curiosity and desire to surprise, shock and entertain.

Visitors can explore David Hockney and printmaking further through curator floor talks, a printmaking workshop, kids programs and a special talk with John Hockney, David

Hockney’s brother – who has written a revealing book about the Hockney clan titled ‘The Hockneys: Never Worry What the Neighbours Think’.

Dates: 5 October – 1 December 2019 Venue: Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, exclusive Victorian venue Visit mprg.mornpen.vic.gov.au to find out more about exhibitions and programs.

This is Eden 1839. Cascades Female Factory, Hobart Town.

In a solitary cell, on the edge of survival, a ‘sleek little savage’ waits alone in the darkness.

Left for dead, ten thousand miles from home, she plots escape and reveals, with biting mockery, the untold tales of her captors. In a Green Room Award nominated performance described as ‘fearless’ and ‘nauseatingly exquisite’, Emily Goddard and acclaimed theatre director Susie Dee bring to life a dark, humorous and provocative ‘anti-bonnet drama’ inspired by the rebellion and resistance of the female convicts of Van Diemen’s Land.

Using the French clowning technique of

Bouffon, where outcasts ridicule and provoke those in power, Goddard and Dee tread a fine line between the grotesque and charming to uncover an extraordinary chapter of rebellion and survival that has seemingly escaped our nation’s history lesson. Harrowing and hilarious, This is Eden is at once an examination of our dark past, a parody of the way we perceive it and a vital call to arms.

This is Eden will be performed on Friday 25 October, 7pm. Tickets are $30-$40 and can be booked online on thefac.com.au, over the phone on 03 9784 1060 or in person at Frankston Arts Centre.

FROM FIGARO TO PHANTOM Friday 8 November, 10.30am & 1.30pm Featuring favourite songs from musical theatre and operas like The Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, Cats, Les Misérables, Westside Story and many more.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Boris Johnson – My Part in his Downfall

By Stuart McCullough IT happened again last night. There I was, fast asleep at two o’clock in the morning when I was awakened by the sound of a small stone tapping against the window. I was, of course, suspicious. Small stones don’t tend to tap themselves against windows. They require assistance. I turned on my bedside lamp, put on my slippers and picked up the emergency cricket bat I always keep on hand in case of intruders, before walking to the front door. I gripped the handle. I gritted my teeth. I flung open the door and was confronted by the unholy sight of Boris Johnson.

Without hesitation, I used my cricket bat to give him an absolute thrashing. As he whimpered, “It’s me! Boris!” over and over and over again; it never dawned on him that he was being beaten precisely because he was Boris Johnson and not as a result of mistaken identity. After tiring, I threw the cricket bat to one side and let him come in. He thanked me profusely and scurried inside before perching on the couch, at which point he started rocking back and forth.

There’s no point denying it – for some time now I’ve been giving Boris Johnson advice. It is not going well. He emailed me after seeing my ad in the Mornington News, offering strategic guidance on geo-political matters and basic grooming. We skyped each other shortly afterwards and, after catching sight of the man, I’ll admit I viewed it as something of a personal challenge. However, I’ve begun to regret ever agreeing to help, as he seems determined to turn even the sagest of advice into an unmitigated disaster that makes the Hindenberg look like a minor fender bender.

Gripping his knees and rolling back and forth, he began to mumble. “It’s breakfast”, he whispered. Not again, I thought. “Look, I’m happy to walk you through the toaster once more but this is the last time….” His head snapped up, his red, tear-stained cheeks began to puff. “No, no, no!” he wailed. “Not breakfast. Brexit!” I’ll

admit that made more sense. Boris and I had agreed weeks earlier to abandon the toaster in favour of an ‘Up and Go’ to avoid confusion.

He explained to me that he’d just been required to return to work against his will. I suspected it was not the first time this has happened to him.

“I’m having an absolutely beastly time”, he explained. “I tried to prorogue Parliament, just like you suggested, but the Supreme Court said it was blooming well out of order!” My heart sank. I asked him which imbecile had been so mentally bankrupt so as to suggest cancelling Parliament before he looked at me from beneath his blonde mop and said, “It was your

idea”’ Incensed, I looked around for my cricket bat before the penny dropped. “I never said prorogue. Not in a million years would I suggest something so totally stupid”. He looked hurt and began shaking his head.

I realized then that, when last we spoke, I had cleared my throat in such a way that, to a dimwitted mature-age Etonian, it may have sounded something like the word ‘prorogue’.

Then again, it would also have sounded a little like ‘Poroit’, but I don’t see him growing a little moustache and speaking in a Belgian accent – after all, not speaking in a Belgian accent is kind of what the whole Brexit thing is about. Besides,

the only mystery that needs solving right now is how a giant cabbage patch kid managed to take something that was broken and bust it up beyond recognition. In the same way that someone might decide to fix a flat tyre by setting fire to the entire car, so too has Boris managed to louse things up; in spite of my excellent advice.

“What should I do now?” he whimpered, a hangdog expression sitting on his face like a wet towel. Desperately keen to move beyond the reach of those European overlords who, according to Boris, were being “quite beastly about the whole thing”, the answer was obvious – tow Britain out to sea. Forget negotiating an exit deal; those bureaucratic thanatoids will struggle to find the UK much less cut a deal with it.

I could see he was thinking it over because his lips were moving. “But what about Ireland?” he eventually asked, probably for the first time ever in his entire adult life. I leaned in. “Exactly”, I answered. Granted, towing the old island out to sea might seem a bit like running away, but I told Boris he should think of it more like doing a runner at a restaurant after being served a lousy meal. But as he mulled things over – which he did by rolling his eyes around and groaning, I told him to think about the consequences of leaving.

Indeed, leaving the European Union might be the single biggest over-reaction to getting rolled at Eurovision since Dustin the Turkey got trounced in 2008. But Boris seems determined.

It’s just that he doesn’t seem to be much else other than determined. It’s probably not enough.

To say nothing of re-imposing an Irish border without any consideration of the consequences.

By now, I’d had enough of Boris. Using a muffin to lure him outside, I then shooed him away with a broom handle. Last I saw, he was galloping away on all fours, chasing random cars and barking at the moon. Hopefully, that’s the last I’ll see of him. stuart@stuartmccullough.com Mornington News

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Hard line taken with the Frankston Gas and Electric Supply Co Compiled by Cameron McCullough AT the Council meeting last week particulars in connection with the Frankston Gas and Electric Supply Coy were laid on the table.

The Order-in-Council granting the Company its concessions was made on the 18th April 1916. Under the provision of the order the electric light was to be extended throughout the Frankston Riding 18 month after the date named, and 12 months after that was to be available in Somerville and Hastings.

Cr Mason – It should have been in Hastings long ago.

Cr Murray said the war probably was partly responsible for the delay.

Cr Mason said the company now asked that they be given an extension of time in which to electrify the street lamps in Frankston.

The Council was paying £6 per lamp for gas whereas the electric light would be only £4.

He would move that the Company be informed that it must take immediate steps to effect the electrification of the street lamps in Frankston, to be completed by the 1st January 1920, and that the Council be notified in a month’s time as to what progress had been made with the work.

Cr Oates seconded the motion which was carried.

Cr Howell said he saw no mention of Seaford in the Order-in-Council.

In a recent letter to the Seaford Progress Association the Company said it held rights over Seaford.

From a casual glance through the conditions embodied in the Order-inCouncil he noticed that Section 24 required the Company to maintain a

continuous service.

Section 27 provided for a penalty of £2 per day if the Company failed in that respect and Section 29 also required that constant power should be maintained.

In every instance it seemed under the order that the company was compelled to supply constant power.

He knew and every one else knew that they did not supply constant power or anything like it.

Cr Mason said that Seaford was included in the area to be supplied with electric power within 18 months from the granting of the area.

Cr Howell said the company should be compelled to carry out its agreement and extend to Seaford at once, where there were four business places waiting to install the light.

These also would pay interest and sinking fund.

Cr Armstrong agreed that steps should be taken to insist on the company carrying out its agreement and extend to Seaford at once.

Cr Latham moved, that the Company be informed that if the terms of the agreement are not carried out the full penalties would be enforced.

Cr Unthank seconded.

He thought there had been enough fooling about.

The motion was carried. *** THE Cornopia in connection with the Frankston State School has been postponed. *** MR F. N. Fairs dentist will visit Somerville on Tuesday October 14th and October 28th. See advt. ***

OWING to a printers error the names “Cameron and McCulloch” were omitted from our par, “Veterans praised” in the last week’s issue.

We are well aware that these players need no bouquets from us, and in all probability 99 per cent of our readers will have read the names where they should have appeared, however, this explanation is for the benefit of the one hundredth. *** HASTINGS Social Club – The Hastings Hall social will celebrate its opening night on Saturday (to-night.)

An attractive programme of singing, dancing and games will be provided and a refreshment bar will be available for patrons.

The gathering will also witness the installation of the new light which is sure to be appreciated.

Particulars appear in advertisement. *** IT will be seen by reference to our advertising columns that Messrs Sherlock and Hay intend entering into business in Frankston as timber merchants, builders and contractors etc.

The new firm are erecting premises on a commanding site in Young Street, abutting on the Station yards and in this commanding position they intend opening out in a large way and on progressive lines.

The members of the firm are both well and favorably known throughout the district.

Mr R. Sherlock recently returned home after several years abroad (incidentally serving several years at the battle front.)

Prior to the war he spent a long period in South Africa where he gained a

wide and varied experience in matters relating to modern building requirements.

Mr A. Hay has been established in Frankston for some years and is a thoroughly practical man. *** THE dinner tendered to the Frankston football team on Saturday 4th inst. proved a great social success.

The tables were beautifully decorated with red and black drapings, red ixias and palms and simply groaned under the burden of good things to eat and drink.

A huge doll dressed as a Frankston footballer occupied the centre of the top table until commandeered by “Smitho.”

The ladies who acted as hostesses have already gained a reputation for doing this sort of thing in regal fashion and this their last effort adds another laurel to the wreath.

Among the fifty odd guests were Messrs Floyd (capt.) and Moffat (Hastings) and Messrs Firth (capt.) Benson and Webb (Somerville).

After the sumptuous repast had been partaken of Lieut. Turner as chairman rose and proposed the toast of The King which was drunk with musical honors.

“The Premiers” proposed by Cr Oates was then drunk and Mr W. Cain, Frankston’s captain suitably responded.

Mr McCulloch followed with “The visiting teams” thanking the Hastings and Somerville representatives for their presence, he (the speaker) thought their attendance was consistent with their sportsman like conduct throughout the season.

Be seen everywhere.

Messrs Floyd (Hastings) and Firth (Somerville) responded.

The next toast was the Frankston Committee which was proposed by Mr Dalman and replied to by Mr E. K. McComb who made reference to the assistance rendered by the Ladies Committee.

“The Trainer” was honored and after Mr Humphries in reply had hoped to do the same thing next year “Smitho” was called upon to propose The Goal and Boundary umpires to which Messrs Clipperton, and Keith Tait replied.

“The Ladies present” proposed by Mr Wall who said that although he had played with several teams he had never met such fine supporters as the Frankston ladies.

Pte. Bolger also spoke eulogistically of the hostesses. Sgt. Thompson responding.

Miss McLean then favored the company with a recitation and, later “The President” was proposed by Mr E. McComb.

“The Beef Tea” ladies and Mr Coxall by Mr Humphries, Mr Reg. Coxall responding, and Mrs Maloney (who has given sherry every match) by Mr Murphy.

When the tables had been removed dancing was started and continued until midnight. Messrs Brierly (piano) and Buller (violin) providing delightful music.

Mr H. Garrood took a flash light photo during the evening. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 11 October 1919

Shark attack: Sorrento bowled out Mornington to cement a 13 run win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Red Hill snare last wicket win

By Brodie Cowburn

PENINSULA

RED Hill have started their 2019/2020 season with a bang after a thrilling win over Long Island.

Long Island chose to bat first and set a tough target of 175 runs for Red Hill to chase down.

Opener Nick Jewell impressed for Long Island with 59 runs before he was caught and bowled.

In response, Red Hill looked shaky and found themselves struggling at 2/22. A stunning 97 run third wicket partnership got their run chase back on track, but after their middle order were removed the tail began to struggle.

With just one wicket in hand, Red Hill managed to scrape themselves over the line with no time left to spare.

Andrew Tweddle put in a big effort with ball in hand, posting figures of 4/26.

Moorooduc had a tough time at home against Main Ridge, failing to defend their total of 143.

Oliver McEnroe did most of the damage to Moorooduc, taking 5/11 from his eight overs.

Main Ridge opener Michael Holmes got things started on the right foot, posting 75 runs. His side reached their target with six overs to spare.

Mornington News

Pines had a good weekend, defeating Somerville with 13 overs to spare thanks to a 71 run innings from opener Damien Lawrence.

At Bruce Park it was happy days for Heatherhill, who defended their total of 158 against Pearcedale. Pearcedale were bowled out for just 90.

DISTRICT

NOTHING separated Rosebud and Crib Point at the end of a thrilling opening game of the season on Saturday.

Crib Point batted first and set an attainable target of 126 runs to win.

Patrick Nagel helped to restrict Crib Point’s total by bowling three maiden overs.

In response Rosebud also struggled to score at a quick rate, and eventually found themselves running out of time.

At the end of their 40 overs Rosebud ended up with 125 runs, tied with Crib Point.

There was a more definitive result at Belvedere Reserve as Seaford Tigers started their campaign with a win over Carrum.

Carrum batted first and scored 8/156. They struggled to deal with Mitch White, who took career best figures of 4/18.

Seaford Tigers had to work hard to

get to their target, and were helped by a half century from opener Brayden Roscoe. The Tigers ended up wrapping up the win with two wickets and five balls to spare.

Dromana had a bad day at home, bowled out for just 87 runs. Their Hastings opponents got the win with four wickets in hand and 12 overs left to play.

Delacombe Park started the year well with a six wicket win over Mr Martha.

SUB DISTRICT

A TAIL end collapse has prevented Rye from chasing down Seaford in their opening game of the year.

Seaford batted first and did well, setting Rye a tough target of 179 to chase down.

Rye’s run chase started off well thanks to a big innings of 67 from opener Jordan Blades. Unfortunately for Rye, Blades didn’t get much support.

Rye looked in a good position at 4/136, but soon collapsed. They ended up all out for 147, losing 6/11.

At Peninsula Reserve, Frankston YCW secured a dominant victory over Skye to get their season off to a perfect start.

The Stonecats opened the batting,

and set an impressive total of 217.

Skye had a terrible time trying to chase down YCW, and ended up all out for just 70 runs.

Stonecats bowler Stuart Plunkett posted figures of 3/12 and Neil Barfuss took 4/21.

Carrum Downs also scored a big win, as they destroyed Ballam Park.

Opener Nathan Harford played an exquisite innings for Carrum Downs, carrying his bat with a score of 140 not out.

Harford’s century helped Carrum Downs post a huge total of 232.

Ballam Park offered nothing in return, and were bowled out for just 69.

Boneo did things comfortably in front of their home crowd on Saturday, getting the better of Balnarring.

Balnarring set a small total of 109 to chase down, which Boneo did with ease.

Boneo’s openers flexed their muscle and helped their side claim an emphatic 10 wicket win.

At Bunguyan Reserve, Tyabb were able to hold on to defend their total of 3/174 against Tootgarook. The Yabbies won by 54 runs.

PROVINCIAL

SORRENTO have secured a narrow win over Mornington to get their

2019/2020 season off to a good start.

Making the big road trip down to Alexandra Park in Mornington, Sorrento chose to bat first and ended up making 9/152. Chad Harris top scored for the Sharks with a score of 61.

Mornington started their chase badly and looked in huge trouble at 6/57.

A strong late effort by their tail put them back in contention, but the task was too great. They ended up bowled out for 140, 13 runs short of victory.

Langwarrin also had a good start to their campaign, securing a hard fought win over Peninsula OB. Travis Campbell’s score of 66 helped put Langwarrin in a good position to win. They set a target of 203 for Old Boys to chase.

William Crowder’s innings of 69 was big for Peninsula OB, but after he was dismissed he got little help from his team mates.

Peninsula Old Boys ended up bowled out for 175 runs.

Baxter had a tough day at home in their season opener, falling 35 runs short of a win against Mt Eliza.

Baden Powell’s season started well as they comfortably defended their total of 224 against Flinders. They ended up winning by 122 runs.

Pines, Doves in fight for Fisher SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie KEVIN “Squizzy” Taylor and Doug Hodgson are locked in a battle to win the services of well-respected technical director Stephen Fisher.

They were joined in the contest to lure Fisher by Bentleigh Greens but this was always going to be between Pines and the Doves.

Fisher’s son Dylan, a promising teenage player, is at the centre of a tug of war between Taylor and Hodgson who reasoned that the winner would also secure the services of his father, who recently stepped down as Langwarrin TD. Taylor is senior coach at Frankston Pines and Hodgson is the new under18s coach at recently promoted NPL club Doveton.

Taylor gave the youngster his first chance at NPL under-20 level in 2018 and Hodgson coached him this year in the Langwarrin under-16s.

“Dylan could stay at Langwarrin but that’s unlikely,” Fisher said.

“It will probably be either Doveton or Pines which gives me and my son the opportunity to work with people we both like and respect.”

Fisher’s departure from Langwarrin as its inaugural NPL technical director had been announced before the end of the season.

He wanted to stay at Langy as assistant to Hodgson believing that they would work together with the under18s but that possibility vanished when Langy and Hodgson parted company.

The jewel in Langy’s NPL underage program was its championshipwinning under-15s but once its coach Donn Delaney left the club to pursue an interest in senior coaching that squad was under threat of being decimated by departures.

“Donn wanted to get involved in senior football and I think his decision (to leave) is a good one,” Fisher said.

“A lot of the boys in the under-15s had been working with him since the under-8s at Strikers so the journey was pretty much done.

“A lot of those boys want to challenge themselves and play 18s NPL and I expect plenty of NPL teams will attempt to lure them.”

Some may end up switching to Strikers who now have a junior NPL licence and will field under-13s, 14s, 15s and under-16s next season.

Strikers also recently announced a junior NPL fee that took rival clubs by surprise and Fisher expects that to have a major impact.

“The fee that Strikers are offering

Coaching changes: Stephen Fisher (left) and Donn Delaney are expected to join new clubs shortly.

is appealing and looking at what they are giving people for half the price will definitely have an effect.

“But whether that fee is sustainable is another matter.

“Every team they field costs them $5000 to Football Victoria before they even kick a ball so you are up for around $350 a player before you start talking about other costs.”

Sustainability is a recurring theme with Fisher when he discusses the NPL. “It’s turned into an arms race and Langwarrin is a case in point.

“Dylan Kilner is the only player in the senior squad to have come through the club’s junior ranks and not having kids coming in is a serious problem.

“Your budget just keeps going up and that’s not sustainable.

“You have to ask the question: Are we dealing with what we’ve got and improving them to a level that meets our needs or do we keep throwing money at expensive players and say ‘go out there and play’?

“I have so much admiration for (NPL2 champions) Eastern Lions and what they achieved this year.

“They are a great example of what can be done with a very small budget against teams like Bulleen who spend massive money to try and win the league.

“I think what Lions have done is as good an effort as we’ve seen in a long, long time.”

Langwarrin’s budget is believed to be double that of Eastern Lions but a key to Lions’ success is home-grown talent with six players in its senior squad coming through the club’s junior program.

“In Langwarrin’s defence Eastern Lions have had four years’ head start with their NPL junior program and I’m hopeful that in a few years’ time we will see those sort of numbers of Langwarrin juniors in the senior squad.”

Fisher has a firm view on the structure of the junior NPL system and was stunned in August when FV announced that 12 new junior licences had been granted bringing the number of clubs competing in the junior NPL to 48.

“It’s ridiculous. They went and reviewed something as if it was broken.

It wasn’t.

“We’ve now got 48 clubs which is great and I’m really glad we’ve picked up the 600 elite kids we missed last time we issued licences,” Fisher said tongue-in-cheek.

“Seriously it’s far too many clubs and I have no confidence in this model.

“It’s fundamentally flawed and from the outside looking in it looks simply like revenue raising.

“All they’ve done is to dilute the

product.”

Wherever Fisher ends up next season he’ll carry an impressive CV with glowing references from an NPL career that has taken him from Springvale White Eagles to Dandenong City then Lawton Park.

And he has firsthand knowledge of what it takes to succeed as a technical director.

“The most important thing is to be honest because you are going to have to tell people (mainly parents) what they don’t want to hear so you have to be strong in your convictions.

“You also need a really good team around you and you have to clearly define what you want to achieve and set realistic targets.

“And remember that people are paying a lot of money to your club and they want to see something for their outlay.

“You need to give them improvement (in their child) and if you spend all your time in the complaints department then your coaches will be distracted and your whole set-up will fall down.”

Meanwhile the man he could end up working alongside next season returned on the weekend from a successful tour of England with Langwarrin’s under-16s.

Hodgson and his youngsters opened their tour in style defeating West Bromwich Albion 10-0 with goals from

Keegan Myatt (4), Sam Maggs (2), Logan Crouch (2), Tom Duckett and Brodie McMinimee.

They prevailed in another goalfest against Sheffield United winning 5-4 with goals from Allen Dzemidzic (2), Maggs (2) and Myatt then followed up with a 4-2 victory over Leicester City with Brodie Jones, Maggs, Duckett and Owen Murphy the scorers.

Langy then twice came from behind to defeat Nottingham Forest 5-3 in the next match with a Crouch hat-trick and goals from Maggs and Duckett.

The only loss Langy suffered was a 5-1 defeat by Coventry City (with Myatt scoring).

Another Crouch hat-trick, another Myatt goal and an own goal resulted in a 5-5 draw with Warwick Academy in the final tour match.

In other news Mornington has finalised its coaching appointments for its inaugural NPL junior season.

Adam Jamieson will combine his role as senior coach with head coach of the under-13s.

Mitchell Ball will be in charge of the under-14s. Ball has a C licence and has worked in the NPL junior area with Bulleen and Langwarrin and was assistant coach of Mornington’s reserves last season.

The under-15s will be under the guidance of Jim Constantinou who has worked with the club’s community juniors for the past five seasons. He has a C licence and plans to complete his B licence next year.

Constantinou worked with the under14s this year winning the league and finishing runner-up in the state final.

Kyriakos Matziartis will take charge of the under-16s and he holds a B licence. He has coached at NPL junior level with Dandenong Thunder and Box Hill United.

In State 2 news Peninsula Strikers look set to finalise their senior and reserves coaching appointments by the end of the week.

Paul Williams and Donn Delaney are expected to be among the appointments.

In State 3 news Frankston Pines has reappointed Paulo Pinheiro as reserves coach.

“We are delighted to retain Paulo for the upcoming season,” club president Lee Davies said.

“After a difficult start (last season) Paulo assembled an exciting, talented young squad that put together a great run of games in the second half of the season and we are confident he will continue to develop the next generation of Frankston Pines senior players.”

Freedman sends Derby Warning HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou THE Anthony Freedman stable has unveiled a potential Victorian Derby candidate after the dominant display of Warning at Flemington on Saturday 5 October.

Having drawn a good gate in the Listed Super Impose Stakes (1800m), Freedman passed up on taking the three-year-old son of Declaration of War to an 1850m maiden race at Kyneton on the Friday and instead lined up in the key lead-up race towards the Derby.

The decision paid dividends for the Pinecliff, Mt Eliza-based trainer as the maiden galloper raced clear in the straight to score a comfortable two length victory over the Lindsay Park pair, Independent Road and Huntly Castle.

Freedman said the addition of blinkers and the selection of Irish jockey, Martin Harley, made a massive difference.

“We’ve always had a good opinion of him,” Freedman said.

“He was disappointing the other day at Sale, but he didn’t have his blinkers on. They went on today, we knew he would improve with them as he’s a laid-back sort of horse and it panned out very well for him. Martin gave him a good ride.”

Based on his breeding, Freedman is confident that Warning will run out a strong 2500m if he ends up heading towards the Derby in November.

“He’ll front up again in a couple of weeks and we’ll see if we’re still in the

run for the Derby and how we’re going before heading in that direction,” Freedman said.

The victory was made that little bit sweeter with the race being named

after the multiple Group One winner Super Impose - a sensational galloper that was a star for the Freedman stable in the early 1990s.

“He got us going so we owe him a

lot and I’m glad he’s got a good race named after him because for a long time he either didn’t have a race or it was a very low level race so I’m glad he’s got this now,” Freedman said.
